FRIDAY MORNING. Jan 13.
CARPET-BAG AND SC ALLA WAD
HEGIRA.
Tim result of the late election is having
its legitimate effects, which is evidenced in
the spontaneous hegira of the carpetbag
and scallswag portion of our community —
No dose of blucmas ever created a creator
ecuunafidh anl upheaval in the foul stom
ach mf a patient than did lile wholsotnc
dose of democracy, administered last month
amid the corruption and filth of the Geor
gia body politic.
The miserable bile that lias so iong over
burdened its li/e, is bow out loose, and tie
filthy stream that is now pouring from our
State, would be pitiable to bt-hnld. were it
not that the interest of the .State demand
ed the discharge.
Already some fifteen or twenty of these
scurvy parasites that have so long fattened
upon the life-blood of our State, have been
shaken off. and turned their course in an
other direction. Others are preparing to
follow, an l soon our community will be
purged of a useless and pernicious element.
And this much wc know has been done
by the rec. at election. And what makes
it bettor, this exodus of worthless charac
ters is not forced, so far as violence or in
timidation is concerned, but is the resale of
a moral delcat.
They very well know that ther is no cotni
ty of feeliug, ot sympathy of interest be
tween them and the true people of our
country, and fence they are induced “to
journey hence, with the view to see' - a
more congenial association.
While we are glad to get relieved^- "Jp
them, wo are sorry foi the cogjfcy ]n which
they will ultimatelysfop/
ot the State Road.—lu or
der to put our readers in possession of all
the facts connected with the history of the
bill authorizing the leasejpf the Western &
Atlantic RaProad, we addressed a personal
inquiry to lion. Dunlap Scott, the author
and introducer of the bill.
To this inquiry we have received a full
and interesting reply, which we will pub
lish in our noxt.
An unusual number of interesting com
munications take the place of our editorial
matter this morning. Our readers will be
pleased, however much we may be disap
pointed ourselves in being thus crowded
out. We will have our revenge, however,
in cur next.
Railroad Mat—We are indebted to Wm.
if. Huntley secretary, for a map of the Co 1-
r.iibus, LaOrange, and North Ga., Railroad.
R will 1>c remembered that this line from
Columbus to Rome has a favourable charter,
with State aid to the amount of $12,000 a
mile. If the people along the line will take
the interest and afford the aid they ought, the
enterprise will move forward to an early com-
p'f'tion.

The Board of •Kducatiorf

impoitant that they should comply strictly
with the “Act to establish a system of pub
lic instruction,” in order that our county
may get its full quota of lunds. As but
few of those elected have rea l the act re
fered to, and feeling a deep interest in the
matter, I will state that it >' the duty of
these elected members ol’ the 1! ;ard, to
meet at the Court House on (he first Tues
day in February, then and there to , rgnaize
the Board, by electing one tif their mem
ber.s Presidenl, and a Secretary. the last
mentioned Lllicer will be the comtv School
Commissioner. ’
The Trustees elect are required to meet
within five days aflei t/iiir election, to take
an oath, or affirmation, to faithfully and
impartially discharge the duties of their
office.
Tbe Trustees cau meet in their respec
live Districts Towus, or W*rds, and admin
ister the oath of office to each other The
act authorizes them to do so. If any va
cancies occur i ho remaining Trusters are
authorized to fill such vacancies within ten

Cave S[>riug--Its Elections and Schools.
Cast Saturday was a stirring day for our
quiet little village. There were four elections
held.—-one for Town Council,—one for School
Trustees within the incorporation,—one for
the same to represent this Militia District,
and one for Bailiffs.
By far the most important rath-
cr, that which interred "the people most ,
was the clcety^ f or Town Council. It is
gener^y/j-^Qo^n that our village is eminent-
*iy distinguished for its Schools, and institu
tions of learning. During the year 1870 no
les than seven schools were in operation in
this place—two male and two female High
Schools, two schools for the colored popular
tion, and the State institution for the Deaf
and Dumb. Without pretending to any ac
curacy in numbers, there were in these dif
ferent schools, perhaps, not less than 2f>0 pu
pils. It is, perhaps, quite as generally known
that the Act incorporating Hearn School,
passed Dec. 20, 1839, prohibits the sale of
ardent spirits, except for Sacramental or Me
dicinal purposes. The village incorporation
act. together with the several amendments
thereto, have tended to sustain and endorse
this feature of the law incorporating Hearn
School—the grand object of both being to
foster and build up all the schools of this
place, and insure thair permanency, useful
ness and prosperity.
We do not propose to state definitely the
point at issue in the election for Council on
Satuadaj^; but deem it sufficient to say that
the verdict of the voters within the corporate
limits was by a decided majority in favor of
preserving the time lionoed reputation of our
village intact, and give to our institutions a
still more increasing career of usefulness and
prosperity. Our schools are organized and
will soon be in operation. The Deaf and
Dumb Institute is in the midst of its session,
harmonious and prosperous; and we cordially
invite our friends abroad to send on their boys
and girls, aud their deaf and dumb children
with the assurance that their morals will be
properly cared for. Many Citizens.

Permit me to say that I was not a candi

Important Provision.—Wc have examined
the 1.1:1 passed by the last Legislature, nu-
tbnrizi.ig the Mayor and Aldermen of the
city of P.-inte to issue bonds, to the amount of
•9100,090, fer the purpose of erecting water
works, and for other purposes therein speci
fied, and find that oue of its provisions re
quires the sanctiou of a majority of tho qual
ified voters of the city, for the building of
tvnter works, and not merely a majority of
the vo.es cast at the election. There are in
the citv uGO registered voters, aud it would
require 2Sf to constitute a majority.
Iu the recent election only 9t5 voted for (he
measure, and consequently our water works
prospects are nipped in the. bud, without a
further action on the part of the voters.
We will publish the net in full incur next.
The sanction cf a majority of the voters is
only necessary for the construction, of water
works, and Guiding or purchasing bridges.—
The issuing of bauds for the liquidation of
tbe city debt, and the improvement of the
streets, does not require this sanction, but
would he legal under the general provisions
of the bill.
We direct the attention of our readers to
the letter of Hon. Dunlap Scott, giving a his
tory of the bill for the icuse of the State
Road. It is. a masterly vindication of the
policy of tbe bill.
NOT SO PLEASANT AFTER ALL.
The wry faces made by Gov. Geary, of
Pennsylvania, in swallowing down tbe en
forcement acts,-shows that that delectable
mess of reconstructed ‘‘rass” designed for
the Southern goose is not at all p:,datable
to the Northern gander. Iodeed. so nau
seating is it to bis loyal sto i ach that he
spluvts it out without any scruples, and as
with it conics up a foul volume of ti e biT
lious gas that has been so long soaring up
on his digestive Greats from an overdose of
loyalty, tbe consternation ot his cu loyalists
upon whom it fails, is quite as great as it
was a few days ago, wheo Sumner le* i .u,e
his skirmi-h volley upon the happy faub'y.
Well, we are glad to see t his t hing of re
construction, which was let loose upon the
South, as the emissaries of hate are turned
loose upon their helpless victims—earning
back to the'r authors, and it is a attrac
tion to know that the knife whetted for onr
torture, will now be applied to their own
throats.
The patriot, Allan G. Thurman, realized
the iujusti-eol this thing when it was per
petrated against the Southern people, and
raised his vo : ce ar iin-t the outrage. lie
further t fid its authors that it woui 1 reroil
upon themselves, and that the amendments
to the Constitution, of which this act, ton:
so disgusts Governor Geary, is supplemen
tary, if forced up m the Southern S .res. at
the point of th-.- bayonet, would have to be
the law under which tho Nurjpnm—gr.r-j-.
themselves wouUJ«~5u upeUt-d tisaboait.
HSrSTs what Senator Thurman said
"about the matter in 1839 :
“ Mr. President, ’his is not a question,
that conc.-rjs Virgin!.-. Mississippi and
Texas a ! oue; it i- a qucsFop wliie r concerns
every S’ate in t ie Culoa whether the pro
posed fif eenth amendment sba’i he a pa t
of tho Constitution of the Uuiied States.
Now. what is proposed to he done ? The
power giv*a to Oongrc.-* is *d npfy a power
to propose amendments, and when Con
gross ha3 “xeeuted lh:.t power it is functus
ojjicio, as the ! twyers say; it has no right
whatsoever to coerce the St..tes into action
on them. The States are en: tied to their
free and unbiased judgment up-n the prop
osition that Cot gress is authorized to sub
mit.
The power of Congress is at an end when
it has made the propi-i:ioo. But now the
Senator fr. m Indiana proticses that Con
gress shall not only propose an auiendm-nt
to the Constitution, but that Congress shall
coerce ltree S. .tt-s into thenooption of that
amendment, not for themselves alone, but
for every State in this Un ; on, that they
shall force that const; utiooal amendment
not simply upon Virginia, Mississippi rnd
Texas, but upou Oiio. Indiana and id'D-ds
as well, whatever may be the opinion of
the three last named Slates.
‘•When you coerce Virginia. Mississippi
and Texas, to put this article in the C-.-a
stitution of the United States, to vote for
it as a part of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, you do not coerce them alone.
You coerce Ohio, you coerce Indiana, you
coerce IHinois. yon coerce every State wh ?e
people ate unwilling to ad >pt t e amend
rnent.”
Thus we have the voice ol a patriot
raised against a scheme of national
injustice, but alas, for the interest,of
our government, and the rights ol ourpeo
pie, his voice was not heeded. The blind
ness of fanaticism was upon the rulers of
the land. Their hearts aud their jud,
meats were steeled against the dictates of
justice or prudence, and notbiug hut a ma
lieious hatred against the Southern peorle
found a place in their souls Sampson like
in their anger, they would pull down upon
our beads the temple that would crush
their own as well
But this lienzy of I itred is boginnia
to abate. The sense of wrong is beginning
to be felt hv themselves. The evil under
which we have so long pitilessly groaned is
weighing now upon theirowa liberties, and
they arc such as to call forth remon-trauc
C3 against the iniquity
This is what Gov. Geary siy3 in his mes
sage to the Pennsylvania Legislature, about
the matter. It shows that the views of
Senator Thurman in 1SG9, were jus;.

be a forced construction of this law that

With a good President the exercise of the

results, bit - , in the bauds ol a bad man

prove execcdiu-ly calamitous. Uncon

be almost certain to use it for his own ad-

my opinion, it is unsafe and antagonistic to
the priueip]c3 that should govern our re
publican icstitut'ons. At the last October
election United States troops were station

of enforcing tuo election laws. This was

CHAP. VII.
1. And it came to pass that iu those
days there came a certain man to the city
of APanta, whose name was James.
2. And this same man James bought
him a plat, of laud near the city-, and. it
was a law lojkinrpato! land.
3 And thlssame man who bought this
plat of laul did bjrro-v ot h s w.fe’s p o-
ple a sum cf money, to the aniauut of
twenty five thousand du.Iars.
4. And with this m >ney he baildei him
a mans.on upon this plat of laud which he
had bauglii.
3. And this in an s*o i was fair to look up
ou, for it b id a showy exterior.
C. And it canto to pass that the Kin<:
passed by this beautiful mansion one day,
and lo aud behold the Kings' eyes did fall
upon t'ue same.
1- .Arid tne” Kings’ mind was excited
with envy, and ho did envy the man James
h : ? beautiful mansion.
8. And like tbe wicked Altai), who 6n
vied the viu'yard of Nab»: h the Jekrecli-#,
tbe King resolved to pa-sess himself of
this mansion
9 And straightway he called uuto hiat
his .< .It nan and his chief servant, and he
said unto them,
10 Behold the man-ion of this rn.au
Jams', and i* it, not fair and beautiful
look u in.
11. And is it not a fit palace that a K
might lived in.
12. And then answered the K-ngs’ chief
Kmot, and said unto the King, - Y
so, my lord,"
13. T .ea the King spake again, saying,
my heart longs to possess this mansion, that
it might be to me a pa'lace.
11. Tuen answered the Kings’ chief ser
vant. and said. Tt is in lead meet liiattuot

21. Then did the Kings’ fugleman look

22. Grease him—grease bia*.
23. Then did this saying please the King,
and the King did also wag his head, and
sa : d,
2- 1. George, thou art a villain after my
own heart—verily thou art a greasy fellow.
23. Then spake up the Kings’ chief ser
vant, who wa3 jealous of the villainy of
the Kings’ fugleman, and said,
2G. But where shall the grease bo had?”
27. Aad this question sorely puzzled the
King, for the King knew that there was
no money in the treasury.
2S. And the countenance of the King
grew Bad.
29. And the Kings’ fugleman seeing
the countenance of the King -hat it grew
Sad. was sorry fur the K : ng.

31. Then did this saying also r ! ease the
King, for the King loved to oppress the

OIiU AND NEW—AN" aLT.EGORY.
BT KO. BIX BASS.
A weird uni stormy night-is throwing ’round
A deesrt sen, its gloomy pall of shade,
Where giant waves, in fury wrestle like,
The horrid demons seen iu fearful dreams,
When shapeless monsters hannt the fevered
brain.
Through rifted clonds a ghostly moon looks
down
Upon a hulk with broken masts. The son
Had sunk into its grave with cloudy shrond,
All draped; its dying light once flickered o’er
The vessel wrecked, and lit its name, The Past,
With faded letters spelt, and then went out
In night. And those upon the hoik did moan;
And saddest eyes did weep, as iong they watched
The fading light; and white lips preyed for
morn.
And trembling hands were clasped in awful dread
As waves, wind-lashed, would sweep across the
hulk,
And bear away some shivering form mid wails
Of grief. Behind, alongthe track in which
The ship had passed, there float the faces pale,
Of men and women drowned, whose yearning
eyes
Stare wildly at the moon, And some there are
Who straggle fierce, mid whirling billows cast,
As Laocoon of old mid serpents’ folds:
Bat vainly strive, and soon give o’er and sink
As waving sad farewells, and shooting load
To ’hore who cannot help.
And from the deep
There comos a voice aud-Says: “They come not
back; -
"The years now deal come back no more !”
And then the winds howl load, “they come
more 1”
And spirit Echoes sigh amid the storm “no
more
And e’en the drowned with pallid lips do seem
to syllabic ’no more t”
' And then again
A solemn voice proclaims: “They mil come
back 1’
The sleeping years will wake, when that Now
Day
Shall dawn in Benlah land. They will come
back !
As witness of the past. As one did stand
Beside the grave of Lazarus dead, and bid
The man come forth, and shroaded from the
tomb
He came, as men loosed on, with wond'ring fear
So tho angel of the resurrection morn
Shall summon forth tho buried sheeted years,
And then from out the tomb of ages, they
Will come.”
On passes fast the night! The hulk
Is sinking now; the storm is raging still!
Life boats are manned—life boats marked
"Mope 1” - '
Tbe hulk is sinking fast! And note it quakes
As if a wounded monster of the deep!
And note it reels as if a drnnken giant
Of strength all shorn ! Now shivering through
and through,
It plunges wildly on, then settles to,
And than goes—down!
And lo! a mystic voice
Proclaims unto the restless waters, “Peace,
Be still!” And then /Eolus hack unto his cava
Calls down the winds 1 The thunder .sleeps

In cloudy beds. The waves now seem to sing
A lullaby to stars, rocked an their breast.
And in the ofSng sails a ship, fall rigged,
With pennant gay, on which is spelt its name,
The Glad Mew Tear.

And jnst ahead Utopian Isles bloom fair.
HOARD OF EDI* CATION,
All the districts in the county, except
Etowah, have elected a member of the
Board of education and Trustees; conse
quently it is v- ry doubtful whether that
district will receive any benefit of the school
fund for this year. Who is to blame for
it? We feel sure it is no fault of the Cou
rier, for wc frequently called the attention
of our readers to the importance ol holding
the election. But, we suppose, they went
upon the principle that “what is every
body’s business is no body’s business.”
Wc have no doubt but that there is at
least two-tbirds of the counties in the State
in the same fix of Etowah district. If
so. those counties that have complied with
the law will be benefitted by it. We feel
proud of our Board and tho Trustees elect
ed. The best of men have been selected.
They should feel highly complimented, be
ing selected from the masses to take charge
of an important trust; a position nono hot
the best men are competent to fill. We
hope every good citizens will render them
all the assistance in their power, to make
the School System c blessing to all.
Sinco the above was put in type, the
election .returns of Etowah district have
been received and the following gentlemen
were chosen in that district: John C. Eve,
Commissioner. For Trustees, John Skin
ner, W. H. Mathis, and H. H. Kene.
The following are those elected in the
amnesty.
Speaking of Amnesty .the New York Her
aid says:
Amnesty has rece-ved its death blow in
tho continued oppos'tion of the President.
If a general bill was passed in both bou3t3,
it would probably be vetoed and could not
possibly repass by the necessary two-thirds
vote.
The President’s opposition is evidently
based on his belief in tho ‘aataral depravi
ty’ of original rebels.
No not that—the President's opposition
is based upona lack of couimon practical
sense in the wooden head of Grant—a lack
ol feeling in his heart,and an absenceof jus
tice in his nature.
He is too great a fonl to see the necessi:
ty of it—too great a brute to feel the pro
priety of it—and too mean a man to appre
ciate the justice of.
We are both glad and sorry that old
poooey Bsn took it upon himself to bring
forward the question of onr amnesty at
this time. Glad that it affords Grant a
apital opportunity to show his extreme
littleness, and meanness. Sorry that it
may be interpreted as a measure of grace
and not of justice towards our people.—
We ask no amnesty, only as of right and
of justice. If we are taxed to support the
goAernment—if we have to owe it onr alle
giance, and in the case of a war, have to
be snbject to its military service, a common
jnsjtce would dictate that wo should be as
free as a: y citizens of the land; could be.—
In. the absence of sueh a freedom, we are
co itent to let onr pig headed President keep
to himself his amnesty. It will do him
ur re harm than it will do us good-

Mu Editor—‘In compliance with yonr
request, I submit the following statementof
facts connected ;Jrith the history of the-bill
to leass the tVcstem A Atlantic Railroad,
in tho last (general Assembly. I have to
rely altogether on memory, as the Journals
of the House hava not yet been published,
and tacuce may commit some inaccuracies.
Before proceeding directly to this state
ment, allow me, b way of introduction, to
say that the idea of leasiug the Road is not
a new one, bat has been discussed for years
past, and urged by our ablest and best
statesmen.
In 1S33, Gov. Cobb, one of Georgia’s
wisest sons, and purest patriots, urged the
lease with all the power and influence of
his great intellect. And by reference to
his annua! message of 1853 it will be ob
served that the plan he recommended cor
responds very closely with the bill which
passed tbe last Legislatnre.
Gov. Cobb said this plan would “secure
the thres great objects to be attained :
First, the retention of the State’s inter
est in the Road.
Second, tbe uniform aud permanent sys
tem for its management; and
Third, a certain and reliable rename from
# * * * *
“It (the Road) will be relieved from tbe
difficulties which I have shown most al
ways, more or leas, attend its management
under State control, and finally insure the
regular receipt into the Treasury of at
least tico hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars per aunum.”
In 1855, Gov. II. V. Johnson, in his
message, after referring to the various
plans suggested for the management of the
Road, says : “I refer to these propositions
to demonstrate wbat I believe to be indis
pensable to meet the expectations of the
people of the ichole Slate, and that is the ne
cessity of removing i>s administration be
yond the arena of politics—of taking it
from Executive control—of making it in
dependent of party inflaences. However
widely different these various propositions
are, they afford conclusive evidence of the
restlessness of the popular mind on the
subject The sentiment is all pervading,
and is manifested iu a thousand forms that
this is expected find demanded at yonr
hands. 1 have no hesitation in expressing
the firm belief that it were Letter to adopt
any one of these propositions' than permit
the Road to be managed nnder the present
mede of its organization.
The idea of this vast capital bemg sub
jected to the fluctuations of party politics
—confided to agents who, as a general rale,
will be changed every two years in obedi
ence to the utterances of the ballot box, is
peepostcTons and ridiculous in the extreme. It
is ouly railroad men icho understand the con
duct oj these great works. Politicians who
aspire to gubernatorial honors know bat lit
tie, if anything, about it.”
These are the utterances of wise and pru
dent men, whose names are enrolled with
the great statesmen cf the age.
The opinions of other Governors might
be quoted, but the foregoing is sufficient to
demonstrate that wisdom, as well as public
sentiment, has long demanded the remov
al of this great public interest beyond the
corrapt and corrupting inflaences of party
politics.
And the miserable management of the
Road for the last two years, not only proves
the wisdatn of the recommendations above
quoted, bat affords a living illustration of
the crnel and wicked purposes for which
bad men may nse it, to accomplish selfish
ends.
The road not only has failed to pay any
thing into the Treasury, bat its incomes
(it is believed) has been nsed to oppress
and to keep in political vassalage the State
of Georgia. I have long believed that it
was not yielding any revenue to the State.
I have long believed that it was being man
aged for the advancement of partizan ends,
rather than for the promotion of the pub
lic weal. With these convictions, and to
thwart other schemes which I believed
would otherwise have passed and resulted
in great detriment to the best interest of
the State, I introduced the bill to lease, be
lieving that with a united democratic vote
we conld carry enough republicans to se
core its passage, and thereby defeat the
more obnoxions measures.
Two other bills affecting the Road were
introduced in the House, one predicated
npon the recommendations of Scperinten-
dant Blodgett and Gov. Bnllnock, appro
priating half a million of dollars to the
repairs of the road, and known as “Blod
gett’s Bill,” and which the Finance Com
mittee reported back, with the recommen
dation “that it do pass."
The other was introduced by Mr. Bry
ant, of Richmond, incorporating a compa
ny, to be known as “the Western & Atlan
tic Railway Company,” naming the corpo
rators, to wit: Gen. Aostell, Judge Loch-
rane, and athers, (I do not remember Ml
the names) to lease the road for a term of
thirty years (I believe, bnt am not posi
tively certain as to tbe timej) and fixing no
minimnm price per month, leaving amount
of rent to the discretion of tbe leasing
power, and providing further, that sad cor
porators might, at any time during their
term of lease, purchase the road, at fire, or
five and a quarter millions of dollars, and
that the State should not refuse to take her
own hends in payment.
I opposed the last named bill because it
proposed to lease to a particular company,
catting off all competition without fixing a
price for the le se; because it vested said
company with authority to purchase the
roed, if it proved profitable, for less than
its present valne; because it required the
state to take Bonds, if tendered, at par.
This would have enabled speculators to
have purchased bonds at a great sacrifice,
and bought a great pnblio work, estimated
at from eight to ten millions of dollars at
a mere nomiual price
I opposed the Blodgett and Bollock ap
propriation bill, because I believed that un
der fair management, the road wocld not
only keep np its repairs, but pay a hand
some revenue into the treasury. On mo
tion, ell three of the bills were taken up,
and set down to a day certain. On the
morning they were taken op for considera
tion I got hold of a printed certificate, whieh
excited suspicious apprehensions in my own
mind, and I read it publiely on the floor of
the House. I was informed that a large
number of them were in existence. By
whom they were gotten up or for what pur
pose I do not know. That most be left to
conjecture. The following is an exact copy
of the certificate:
“ Certificate No.—, Capital $5,000,000
Western & Atlautic Railway Company:
This certificate will* entitle the holder,
whose name is endorsed on the back, to
shares of one hundred dollars eaeh, in
the Capitol Stock of this Company. Said
endoisemsnt on the back of this certificate,
to be witnessed by the party issaing the
same.”
Whether it was intended as a corruption
fund or not, I do not know. I only know
the certificates were ia existence.
• It was ascertained sometime berore hand
that the last two measures mentioned would
be brought forward, and democrats were
apprehensive that one or the other would
gua, and dreaded the. consequences to tbe
State. To head them off, and protect the
best , we could thin great State enterprise,
my bill was introduced at the time'it was.
I at once consulted the wisest and beat men

Finn m-r.r. Sn
the people of Georgia have ever delighted to
honor, I may mention Mr. Stephens and
Gen. Toombs, knowing that the integrity of
those men, and their devotion to the State
had never been questioned.
Mr. Stephens, iu his recent letter on the
lease of the Road, gave substantially bis
reply to my letter. He added farther, “I
have for years been of opinion if it were
oat ofthe hands of State officers, it would
be nnch better for tbe interests of the
pe pie. It is now the source of great cor
ruption, and no profit.”
Gen. Toombs’ tcply was thirty days cn
rente, and did not reach me until after the
bill passed. He said that ofthe various metis-
arcs before the Legislature, “a lease is the
her t, and the shortest lease the test lease
I have always wished to sell the road, but
the terms are of the highest importance to
the State Treasury, and t > tlu public iu
terest”
With such a Legislature as was then iu
pawer. he nor any one else who had the iu
terest of the State at heart, thought it ad
visable tosel.
I also telegraphed to Mr. Jud. P. Kinjt
President of the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, Mr. Wm M Wadley
of the Central Road, Mr. White, of I hi
Macon & Western Road, and other dirt in
gnishid railroad men, t ) meet me in At
lanta on a certain day, to consiuer the bill
and to derise the best measure possible lor
the piotection and promotion of this great
work, and of the general interest of the
State growing oat of it.
Messrs. King, White, Hazelhurrt, Pet
tis, and perhaps one or two others, met me Tuorctoro
acd reviewed the bill. After suggesting
several amendments, which I afterwards
engrafted on the bill. 1 understood all of
them te approve it os the best that could
be doue under the circumstances.
Mr. Cunningham, of Savtnnah, tele
graphed me that Mr. Wadley was in New
York, bnt had telegraphed Gen. Lawton te
act for him, but Gen. Lawton was in bed
sick, and Mr. Wilder was sent in bis place.
Be reached Atlanta too late for the inter
view, but I submitted the bill to him, and
understood him to endorse it, in abont the
same terms the other gentlemen . had done.
Numerous other persons were consnlted
—among them the proprietors of two or
three of the most influential papers of the
State. I remember the proprietor of one
of the ablest and most popular papers in
Georgia, occupied a seat by me at the time
ot its introduction, read it before hand, ap
proved it and tel graphsd a synopsis of it
to his paper.
Mr. King afterwards wrote me that he
had some misgivings abont the profits of
the lease to the lessees, and would
much rather have nothing to do
with it individually. But fer the inter
est of the State and the tax payers, the
question has but one side, and that is in fa
vor of the lease. You are right in believ
ing that the road will never make anything
in the hands of politicians, without regard
to theparty in power. It is doubtfulif it ev
er has paid auy net profits, even when the
country was less demoralized than now.—
The amount ofthe lease, therefore, will he
so much clear gain to the Stale, and i( you
succeed a debt of gratitude will be due you
from every tax payet aud every well wish
er of the State.
Thus it will be seen that impressed with
the great responsibility aad importance of
the measure, and appreciating the embar
rassments and difficulties surrounding us,
we sought the counsel of the wisest states
men and the ablest railroad men in the
State.
The bill has many defects doubtless—
some of them were not seen at the time—
others were nnavcidable nnder the circnm-
staaces. I favored a shorter time. Oth
ers wiser than I advised a longer term. I
advocated the fixing of the minimum price
at thirty-five thousand dollars, in gold, per
month, but a majority of those whom 1
consulted counseled against it, believing^
that responsible parties wool! not take it
at that price..
Yieldicg to their superior judgment the
minimnm was fixed at $25,000, at which
price I understand it has been leased.—
Even at this price it will pay three-fifths
(3 5) of the taxes of the State, as now as
sessed, per annum, thus relieving the peo
ple of a great harden.
As to whether there has been fraud and
corruption in the letting of the Road, I do
not know, but if there has been I trust it
will be ferreted out. I know it Was the in
tention of the bill that the party who would
give the largest amount per month to the
State, and who wonld otherwise comply
with the reqairements of the measure,
should he entitled to tbe lease. No can
did, honest man can give it any other con
struction. Gov. Bollock evidently so con
strued it, otherwise, his proclamation call
ing for bids was a mere farce to divert pnb
lie attention from a contemplated fraud.
I will add, in conclusion, that the bill
received the united vote of every Demo
crat, present, in both branches of the Gen
eral Assembly, except Dr. Parks, of Gwin
nett, who favored the five hondred thous
and dollars app’opriation.
I am, very respectfully,
Your ob’t ser’t.,

A Broad Blessing.—A gent'eman
whose eastern it was to entertain very of
ten a circle of friends, observed that one
of them was eating something before grace
was asked, and determined to care
Upon ajrepetition of the offence, hg said:
For what we are abont to receive, and for

Benefit of Laughter.—Probably
there is not the remotest corner of the
blood vessels of the body that d es not feel
some' wavelet from that great convulsion,
(hearty laughter) shaking tbe central man.
The b'ood moves more lively—probably its
chemical, electric, or vital condition is de-
stiactly modifiicd—it conveys a different
impression to all the organs of the body as
it visits them on that particular mystic
joarney, wh jn the mao is langhiDg, from it
does at other times. And so, we doabt not,

Justice.—In a recent debate in the
House of Commons a member quoted the
Welch proverb. “A nation is stronger
than a law.” Mr’ Gladstone replied: ‘’Sir
I admit it, I admit more—nation is stron-
