An omission having occurred in the pub

we take occasion to republish It to-day. It erlll

Convention, adjourned, prevent* the publication

The Annual Bsporla or tha OHeera ol She
AVeeieru * ASleulle Railroad.
Au absence for several days ol tlie past week,
amt a press of busluc** since then, have prevent
ed us from noticing these important re|>ort»—
important, more than any other of the reportaot
the railroad enterprise* of our State, to our read
ers, tor the reason thst the Road ilselt l( the pro
perly of the State, in which every ‘nx-payer
thereof has an individual Internet. We have
ever looked, therefore, to the annual reports ol
the 8up6rintemlent niut other officer* ot thlf
great Stata enterprise o iih intereet, and lor infor
mation to spread before our readers. Usually,
we have published tha reports in foil, but such
now is the pressure upon our columns and upon
„ur time, that wa arc uoi able to do so.
l Ue pamphlet report before us embraces, first,
the report of the Road Master, Mr. M. H. Dooly,
..it the road bed and superstructure, the bridge#,
1.1,1 vei l*, depot*, itation homes, and water sta
tions of the road; eecond, the report ot the Su.
periuteudent ot the car factory, Mr. W. 0.

Flynn Master ol .Machinery, givlug the name or
number ot each engine; when put on the road;
l,y whom built; its service,character,present
condition, cost of repairs, number ol mile# it bat
run to each cord ot wood, gallon ot oil, pound
ot tallow and waste; and the cars hauled during
the vent ; fourth, tbo reports ol the General
Freight Agent. Mr. R A Bacon, showing the
gross freight earnings ol the road, with the
amount* collected trora the different agents ami
connecting railroads, together with the tonnage
and points ol shipmeut of the varioue articles ot
freight transported over it, during the year.
fifth, the statement of the General Ticket Agent.
Mr. W R Webster, showing the amount of pa*
ienger receipts during the year; seventh, the state
rneut oi the General Book-Kesper, Mr. Owen
Lynch, showing the monthly gross earnings of the
road its expenses and expenditure#; and letenth
the report of the Master ot Transportation, Join
B. Peck, Esq. All these reports, mads to tin
Mupcrinteodent, are clear, concise, and euUiac
lory reflecting credit upon the officers tha
have made them. Especially Is this credit dm
to the energetic and efficient Master of Trans
portotion. J. B. Peck, Esq., whose report nu
braoes every material tact connected with th>
operations of the Road during the poet year. I
shows that the receipts of the road tor the yea
ending Sept. 80, were $1,278,191.85. Working
expanses tor the same time, $087,463.95, leaving
excess ot receipts over working expense*, $585,
799.18. Ratio of expenses to receipt*, 54 per cem
$181,115 82. lu addition to earning? sTiWfTlTr
above statement, the road ha* transported fret
of charge, donations to the destitute, the freight
of which would have amounted, at tlw regular
charges, to $10,210.05.
So much fortbeee reports made to tha Super
intendent by his subordinates in otfiee, than
whom more efficient and reliable gentlemen ex
perienced in railroad service cannot bo found
elsewhere. Especially to this compliment due
to the Muster ot Transportation, J. B. Pack,
Eeq., to whose efficiency, under the direction e.!
the Superintendent, and to whoso energy the
Road is largely indebted lor its present pros
perity.

province ot any Military Commander, to say

As auy'thing not’complimentary, or agreeable,
to military commanders, loyal leagues, radical
legislators and officials, may, and probably will,
be pronounced “libelous,” aud my bond declared
forfeited, I shall be compelled, by the power ol
the bayonet, to “ speak with bated breath," and,
when noticing public tuuctionaries, 1 shall be
compelled to slug nothing but “ hymns of loftiest

“florid prose,” or sung in “ honied lies of rhyme,"
will, 1 suppose, be a matter ol small moment.—
If a sufficient amount ot laudation, adulation,
and fulsome praise, is uttered, I presume the
happy recipients will care very little for either
tune or metre.
1 do not regard Gen. Ord as the Emperor ol
this country, and aa I believe tliat President
Johnson, and Gen. U- B. Grant are his official
superiors, 1 shall apply to them for relief aud re
lics. It they cannot, or will not, strike Irom
uy limbs the fetters which have been placed
ipon them by the Commander of this Military
D strict—it they cannot, or will not, remove the
-hackles which he has Imposed on The Timet,

Outsiders are exceedingly anxious to prove
the truth or talsity of some reports, which were
going the rounds a few days since in retfcrence
t i excluding colored member* from tho Couveu
tion, some having thought that tho Shennan
till did not authorize the election of a negro to
hat body. Consequently, it was aaid that a cer
tain contpkiou* member trow this district had
irepared, and determined, at the earliest oppor-
i^^U^^?#e^?at.7nTiy!
nu it is now understood upon tiie streets that
the gentleman alluded to has “backed down,”
.torn his origiual position and iutenUs so word-
He jhis rcsolutiou us to let him out quietly,
caving the “ colored members' 1 to continue in
Uo business oi running the machine. I perceive
‘rom the proceedings that while he seems to
neve bad some scruples in relation to “ holding
membership" with tliom, he has, nevertheless,
consented to act with two on a very important
committee, that of approaching General Pope at
headquarters. I think the gentleman had bet
ter resign than hold a position so inconsistent
with pledges made to the “ Union League,” be'
tore ho became a candidate for negro tvffrnge.

letter ot Governor Drown to President Parrott.
Allow nte, however, space to make one or two
suggestions. In his letter 1 find the following
paragraph t
“in one close of case*, I would make the doutal
of Jurisdiction perpetual. 1 refer to nolee given
for slave*. A sold B a slave In ISM for $1,000
and took hts note. In 1805 the Government
took the slave Irom B, and made him tree. If A
bad kept him, tho Govermaeol would have done
the same A has lost nothing but the hire of
the slave for the time B hekl liim. The equities
ot the case require that A give up B'a note, and
that B pay him biro for the time ha used the
•lave.”
Instead ol 11 giving his note, suppose at tho
time ot purchase (a* was true In many cases) lie
paid tho money to A, would not the same cqui-
tioe require that A bo compelled to refond tho
purchuae money to R, let* the value ol tho slave's
hirst
Again, mauy parties, Jaincc the cud of the war,
acting iu good faith ami upon principles ol com
mon honesty, have either paid in lull or compro
mised, according to their ability, their ante-belluin
debts. It the men who owe such parties aud have
never paid them a cent, or made an efiort to do so,
are to go “scot tree" ot their debts, and enjoy a
“year ot jubilee," would not the same equitie* re
quire that the creditors,to whom debtors have paid
ante-bellum claims, lie compelled to rebind the
money tints putd, and let all debtors, without re
gard to race or color, participate in ike " year of

To Editor* Hun Hint* :
Dear Sirs —Having reinl in your paper n
communication from u correspondent at Buena
Vista, Ga., giving a biographical sketch of one
George W. Ashburn, more popularly kuown to
the newspaper public as the " Great Btinkee," 1
lor ward this paper to correct some errors ot your
correspondent. Youc correspondent’s statements
are substantially true, but there are some mis
takes with relosenoe to facts and to the time aud
place ot occurrences.
Your correspondent says that G. W. Ashburn
was raised by an old Baptist preacher by the
name of Henry Hooten. 1 am a son ol Henry
llooteu, the old Baptist preacher. My tattler ne
ver raised Q. W. Ashburn nor any other such iu-
fomous sooundrel. 11a was raised by Miles Ash-
bum, his uncle, about one mile from my lather's
residence, near Hootenville, Upson County,
Georgia.
Ashburn never had anything to do with my
father's business except during ft part of one
year, and that was under my control. My la
ther and I were farming Jointly. I employed
Ashburn to oversee our business for a year. At
the end of nine months 1 dismissed him ou ac
count of his brutality to my negroes, and paid
him for the whole year. Hie cruelty was very
great all the time, but at the end ol nine months
he etript sixteen men and women in the field,
and veourged them naked together. My negroes
Iwd never known brutal treatment before, and
1 could not endure ancli a torturer on my place.
During tho time Ashburn was in our employ
ment he stayed in my bouse and not iu my
tuber's. His custom was to keep his horse
blanketed in the stable, aud lie up in bis room,
in hi* ruffled bosom shirt, and read. During the
day he would ride down to the plantation,
scourge the negroes, and return to his room
again. He also patrolled vigorously on the
Sabbath, boasting that lie did it for the delight
lie took in whipping negroes. He was a terror
to the negroes in all that land.
Before coming to my bouse he had been over
seer for tiie parties mentioned by your corres
pondent. On all those places he inflicted l,is
characteristic brutality on the negroes. My place
was 'lie last be superintended before leaving
Georgia. He went to Mississippi and entered
upon bis favorite occupation, overaeoing, on Big
Black river, according to his own account.—
When be returned from Misliseippi, lie slated
that he had joined the Baptist Church while in
that State. He also said lie telt it to be Ids duty

The Macou Convention.
A correspondent ot the Atlanta Xew Era, wri
ting irom Augusta, December 9tli, says, in rei-
crt-iici! to the Macon Convention, that “A promi
nent gentleman, a delegate iront some of the up-
per counties, a Union man before and during the
war, went home after the first day. He did not
;-Uc the drift of things. The position of scene-
■ihiit' r t<>r a panorama did not suit him. I think
iie is a good fellow, an honest politician, and
would like to go buck into the Union; but he,
like too many others, prefers not going, to going
in a second class car.”
l ie above lias attracted the attention ofu gen-
ilcin.ut from upper Georgia who was a Uuiou
man In-lore and during tho war, and he bogs

.vas ii|i|i dated a delegate lu the Sntcon Oouven-
i<, i ; and notwithstanding hi* pressing business
114.,g. meats, and sickne-s in his family, he
yielded to convictions of duty to his country to
employ every svuilahle moans within his power
10 save it Irom higher law domination and no-
gro -mpreinacy; and with this object in view, he
repaired at once to Macon, and on the day ap
pointed, was there to take part in the delibera
lions of the Macon Convention.
lit: tegs leave, further, to state that bn was
honored with the appointment on the business
committee, consisting of two from euchcongres-
,'ninal district, and that the biirdncssof said com-
miuee was conducted with the utmost lnlrness
md decoruin. The views of several gentlemen
weiu icspectlttlly considered, and, lu order to
dispatch business, all tha papers were referred
10 a Huh committeo of three, including Mr. P.
\V. Alexander, whose ready pen gave shape to
the action of the committee, which wa* reported
to thn Convention at 5 o'clock of December Slli,
amt which action had the sanction of tho Union
man referred to; and believing that tho said
Convention was near tho close of its labors, lie
took tbs cars Thursday night and returned to
his home, whero be was so much needed—not
fully satisfied with what had been done, the luu
guage of the report of said committee being loo
oriel, and the terms too mild, to express the ab
horrencc lie telt towards the revolutionary re
construction measures of tho higher law Con
gross, and the lonthhig and disgust lie feels for
every intelligent Boiilhcrn-boru man who gives
said measures his sanction.
Tho final action of said Convention came
nearer up to liis views, especially the 5th icsohi-
lion ; and as a whole, it receive* the hearty ap
proval of “a Union hiaii before and during the
war” from Urruit Gkouoia.

He is now therefore an excommunicated Baalist
preacher. I may in justice add, that tomhing
his attempted ministry, that the mimmon verdict
was that lie tried, but never preached.
Your correspondent’s sketch of tbo “ Great
Stinkee ” is so substantially correct that I should
not have written but to correct the mistake w ith
reference to my hither, who is now not liviug.
Alter leaving PenfieUI, Ashburn tried school
teaching, hotel keeping, speculating ot every
kind, continually sinking lower and becoming
more contemptible. As your correspondent
justly says, be is now kicked out or stunk out
irom village to village, till it ia difficult to keep
up with his “ stinking" history. My bouestcon-
victlon is, that there is not a more unprincipled,
villainous wretch unhung.
At the time Ashburn was in my employment,
I was living at Houieusvillc, Upson county, Ga.
Bince that time I have lived at Cbunnenuggeu,
at Orion, Pine Level, and Athene, Ala. I now
live near LaGrange, Ga.

shrewdness in evading the tax, ruins the West

FK4h Day's Proceedings of the Usorda
Unconstitutional Convention.
■EFORTCI) FOB TBS ATLANTA DAILY IHTXLLISXKCXB.
Atlanta, Ga-, Doc. 18,1867.
Convention met at 10 A. M. Prayer by tbs
Chaplain; who petitioned, among other thlDgs,
that delegates might be respectlul toward each
other, and properly understand the subjects
brought before them, In the way of business.
The journal was read, and during tbe reading
A. T. Akerman said he should move to re-con-
■ider so much as related to tbe adoption of tbe
relief ordinance yesterday.
At the close ot some further and desultory dis
cussion looking to the amendment of tbs Jour
nal otherwise in .unimportant particulars, tbe
motion to re-conslder above mentioned, was
brought up and thereon A. T. Akerman pro-
ceeded to address the bouse, saying, In substance,
that as tho ordinance then stood, no laborer, if It
was enforced, could collect bis biro for this year,
or for that now due on last year's account; no
factor could recover his advances made for pro
visions, etc.; no court officers could collect their
fees; and tliat even General Order No. 40, which
it was thought was to benefit certaiu portions of
the press so much, would be the heaviest blow
ever inflicted on them, since no collections could
be made for (lie printing of official advertise
uicuts. Alter some further discussion and refer
ence to the lute legislation of the General As
sembly upon the subject of relief.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, negro, took the floor,
and proceeded to address the Convention with'
his back toward the Chair.
T. J. Speer rose to a point of order. By rule
four ol the rules adopted, members were to ad
dress the Chair.
The President said lie had understood the
delegate from Chatham (Aaron Alpeoria Brad*
ley, uegro) to comply with ike rules by saying
Mr. President as be rose, and yesterday he (tbe
President) bad decided a member could address
tuy part of the Convaulion he saw fit.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, negro, smiled on T.
J. Speer, whereat there was laughter in the Con
vention, and proceeded with his remarks, discus
sing the legal aspects of the matter and saying
that n conformity to the Icgirintion ot the State
on this subject wns no argument, emigre** hnd
decided there was tio legal government iu tiie
State. It wa* illegal and void. Tiie members
did not seem to have a correct idea ol the digni
ty ut the Couventhm by bringing up such legis
lation. These laws were “pigmies in our bauds;
lu crush iu our hands as*wc choose”—stretching
out Ills arms lull length and opening und shut
ting his fingers—“we can make them or unmake
them ut our pleasure." *
C. II. Ilopkius argued in favor of the ordi
nance, hut was called to order with some ditli*

Starving, ho must think it was not understood
by the delegaio making tlie assertion what two-
thirds raeaut. Thu speaker then proceeded to
discuss tho position ot' L M. Stanford, when
that delegate called him to order, with the re
mark that he, At.roa Alpeoria Bradley, negro,
was misrepresenting him, (L. M. Stanford.) and
he didn’t waul U d. nr: tie w ished him to under
stand that. Alter some further exposition ot
the law bearlug on the general subject, the
speaker concluded ; aud a call for the previous
question being sustained, the motion to recon
sider the vote by which the relief ordinance in
troduced yesterday by H. B. Bullock was adop
