t our* had been understood to define
V; in their decision' Mlr'xjia previous
case, and believing myself still Aejuref
though not dc facto, Governor of the.
State, I again went before that tribu
nal, alleging these act# of progressive
usurpation, and seeking redress against
the wrong-doers.
The hearing ot this ease, would have
brought distinctly under the review of
the Court the constitutionality of the
reconstruction acts, which I especially
desired. Not so the Court- Thev—or
A majority at them—felt a loyal re
pugnance to that delicate issue.’ Leave
to file the bill, on application made in
ojien Court, and upon a statement of
the allegations contained in it, was
unhesitatingly given; the Attorney
General of the United States being
present, and making no objection ; and
the bill was delivered to the Clerk.
But this permission was revoked
within twenty-four hours, ns having
Iteen improvident!}- granted, although
it neither infringed any existing rule
of practice, nor committed the Court
to anything touching the merits of the
ease. Then why revoked ? For no
conceivable reason other than to open
that case to the operation of a new rule
of practice, adopted after the permis
sion to file the bill; and which pio-
diiced unnecessary and vexatious de
lay. Yet more, in subsequent stages,
additional delays were occasioned by
exceptional rulings of the Court; aud
»u last we were gravely told that there
did not remain of the term time en
ough to hear and determine a motion
for injunction.
Before the commencement of the
next term (as the Court had probably
anticipated) the Atlanta Convention
bad done its work—Meade and Roger
had dispnpeared from the scenes, and
Bullock and his hungry horde, by force
of the bayonet, though under the flimsy
veil of constitutional reform, had be
come “ lords of the ascendant.” The
suit before the Court was not of a vin
dictive character—damages were not
sought against the defendants; but
only riddance from their usurpations.
Of course, it would have Loon folly to
pursue them after their abdication.—
The cause could not have been pressea
Against them.
Let it not be said that the object
aimed at by this litigation was accom
plished without the action of the Court.
Far from it. Had the Court pronounc
ed the reconstruction acts unconstitu
tional, we would not onlv have been
delivered from Meade and Huger, but
from the whole Atlanta Convention.
The existing State Government would
have beer sustained ; Bullock would
have remained in the Express Office,
*»4 the present derangement of our
finances, as well as many other evils,
would have been avoided.
When it is considered that the en-
f.«rcement of the reconstruction acts,
then in progress, would inevitably over
throw existing State constitutions, and
with them existing State governments;
that the Executive and Legislative
Departments of the Federal Govern
ment were distinctly at issue, upon the
question of the constitutionality of
those acts, and that there was in the
Supreme Court a case pending, and a
motion in that ease, ready for a hear
ing, which called for n judicial settle
ment of that question, what can ex
cuse a refusal to hear it ? No more
momentous question was ever submit
ted to that Court. If the allegations
in the bill failed to give the Court ju
risdietion, why not say so?
If the Executive Department were
wrong, and tlie legislative Depart
ment right, on that great Issue, why
not, by a solemn judgment, terminate
the controversy, and give quiet to the
country?
They said there did not remain of the
term time enough for the hearing—but
why not?
The term was not closed by legal
limitation, but by judicial discretion.—
Were these, their Honors, wcaiy—ex
hausted by their judicial labors? Ah!
let them contemplate the weariness of
spirit, the exhaustion of resources, siitee
inilietcd upon the people of Georgia by
the misrule they were railed upon to
arrest, hut would not even inquire in
to. and then justify, if they can, their
delinquency.
I entered that Court with all the
veneration for it inspired by a Mar
shall, a Taney, and their compeers.
1 left it with ihe painful impression,
which time, ha# not mitigated, that the
then incumbents (or a majority of
them ) had, by procrastination, delib
erately eroded a judgement they could
not have refined, without dishonor to
themselves; yet could not have render
ed without offense to the despotic and
menacing faction then and still wield
ing the piwerof the Government,
II was probably under the prompt
ing ot a similar feeling that the venertu
hie Justice Grier, the senior in years
of th«m all, about the same time, from
bis scat on the Bench, in open session,
declared himself ashamed of the atti-
tmlo assumed by the Court (in another
case insulting from jwst-war tyranny),
and like an old Roman, shook the re
proach from hit skirts.
Here I turn aside to notice a rumor,
invented and circulated to my preju
dice, by certain mendacious Radicals
of Georgia—that in these suits I had,
without authority cf law, expended
thirty thousand dollars of the people’s
money. The expense of the first suit,
instituted and ended whilst I was still
undisputed Governor of Georgia, am
ounted in all (including lawyers’fees,
< 'ourt costs and printing expenses, ren
dered necessary by their rule of prac
tice, and excluding my personal ex-
iiensc#,) to two thousand seven hun
dred dollars (S2,100).
This sum 1 paid out of tiie conting
ent fund, placed at my disposal ; a
lialance of which retrained uuexpende4:
on myxolirement. That the passage
(,t iho reconstruction acts, andthecou-
antieipated hr any, save its unprinci
pled authors, and that it cried aloud
for all possible resistance, no right-
minded man will deny.

A deputation from Caliul reached
me to-day. I am engaged preparing
their statement and petition to the gov
ernment on which to predicate a de
mand for their protection and indemni
fication, The history thoy gave us is
far more heart-rending than that of
Ismail. Their sufferings were horri
ble. Language fails me to depict all
they have related. C'abul is a place
of 7,000 souls. 1,000 of whom arc Is
raelites. Suddenly the latter were
set upon, and for three days beaten,
wounded, plundered, drivel, out of their
homes, which were battered to ruins,
and forced to take refuge in the bar
racks, where, instead of being defend
ed, they were allowed again to be beat
en, and for several days kept without
food. The way through the streets
from many Jewish houses to the bar
racks was marked with blood. Heads
were split open, arms broken, beards
plucked out by the roots, hair tom
from the seal)), Ac. One of the
delegation who thus gives me this re
lation (Mr. A. Gold) defended his
house for three days, his four sons
standing by him. They had thirty-
eight rounds of amunition. He made
his sons swear thnt if he fell tfiey would
continue to Bands of fifty* men
surrounded his house, but the dastards
durst not cross the threshold. At length
they were comjicHcd to leave, as the
villains commenced to "build fires to
burn them out. He alone wasrohlied
of 230 Napoleons. The delegation fix
the losses of the Israelites at -10,000
ducats. They were completely stripped
of everything, and their homes so bat
tered and ruined as to he scarcely re
cognizable. The two synagogues were
devastated and turned into privies.—
Jephihin, Jalitiiim, and prayer-book#
were scattered in all directions. The
scrolls of tho Jaw were early removed
for safety and hidden away. But few
Christians came to the relief of starv-
dersement of the convention. By the
endorsement of $1,000,000 of first
mortgage bond# the Georgia Road
secures the right to vote a majority of
the stock, and when tlie road is com
pleted, receives twelve hundred of its
shares, for which she pays nothing,
aud risks only the payment of interest
on the bonds endorsed, if the road fails
to pay it. The arrangement also se
cures control of tlve Charleston and
Savannah road, giving tlie Georgia
road a line to both tlxwe parts only a
few miles longer than the existing
roods. It gives the road, and tlie
mercantile interests of Augusta access
to tlie best harbor on tlie coast ISouth
of Norfolk, and facilities in connection
with the lienvy capitalists who control
the Northern stock in the Port Royal
Road, for water communication with
the North and with Europe, possessed
by no Southern port. It is also believed
that this line will constitute the South
ern terminus tlie Pacific railroad,
which will be of immense advantage
to all the parties at interest.
It is said that tlie possibility* that
the South Carolina railroad would be
controlled by the Central road, had
much to do with the action of the
Georgia road. Whether such appre
hension was well founded or not, the
action uf the Board seems to have beep
wise, and we understand it was unani
mous. To us, in this section, it seems
strange that the road should see so
much in Port Royal and so little in
the Knoxville connection; and should
have made no effort to secure the
Knoxville road, sold for a song a few
days ago. It is possible that if the
Port l’oynl enterprise is a success, there
may be in the uncertain future, renew
ed interest in a line through the Blue
Ridge.
The comi»any has been fortunate in
securing Major George T. Jackson as
the agent of the Port Royal Road, and
lie is making contracts for the con
struction of tlie entire line. It, is the
intention to complete it before the end
of the present year.

As was to have been expected, the
action of Gov. Smith in giving the
Land Scrip donated by Congress, to the
University, is meeting with severe crit
icism front the friends of institutions
and localities seeking the fund. A fair
review of the facts connected with the

such Status as had not accepted, p) do
so within five years from that date,
which time having expired last July,
led to the erroneous impression that
another enabling act by Congress was
necessary for Georgia to avail lierself
of the donation.
But the Aet of Congress of 1866
bad a proviso that such State* as liad
ajredy qeeepted should have five years
after tlm lapse Of tile five yean» pre:
scribed in the act of 1862.
Now Georgia by aet of her Legjsla-
Jncuea.sk of German Emigra
tion.-—The spring emigration of Ger
mans to the United 1 States is begin
ning, and from the report of the Ham
burg papers is likely to be very large.
Tbc movement from Mecklenberg is
said to be of such a remarkable charac
ter that many villages are likely to be
depopulated. It is stated that, besides
the Germans, numerous Swedish ser
vants and laborers employed in Ger
many have emigrated, and very few
from Sweden liave arrived to take
their places. Tlie German element in
the United States is increasing rela
tively faster than any other, and the
increase appears likely to prevail dur
ing the coming year. The Sun says
the Bremen aud Baltimore steamers
seem to be growing in favor with the
emigrants, no matter in what section of
the counfry they may iutqud to fix
tbeir residence. The majority of Ger
man immigrants seek the West and
Northwest, while some few of them re
main in our own State, and others go
to the South. But for all, Baltimore
fa growing in favor as a point affording
the most convenient and direct route
for their future homes.
Impending Bankruptcy.
The Northern Republicans are liegin-
ning to fear that the Southern States
are tube ruined hopelessly, financially,
by the carpet-bagger# and their negro
allies. Thus the Pittsburg Dispatch,
a leading Republican journal in West
ern Pennsylvania, says in its issue of
March 26;
“ The State Auditor of Mississippi
has informed the Legislature now in
session that the taxation in tlie State
must be raised to more than double its
present rate in order to carry on the
government. In the face of this an
nouncement, every measure of re
trenchment which is proposed in tlie
Legislature is promptly voted down bg
the. carpet-baggers and freed men, who !
form the majority of that body. But j
it must not be forgotten that the South
ern negroes, who ignorantly vote for all!
manner of extravagant measures, as a
class, cannot under any circttinstances |
be brought to sec the propriety of any
taxation which affects themselves.-—-
Consequently when the question of re
pudiation comes up in Mississippi, as
it is certain to do, it will be found that
a great majority of the freed men will
vote for that method of cancelling their
debts.”
