ted his constituents in both Confederate and
Federal Congress, and “ illustrated Georgia”
In the “ tented field." His record is before the

Col. Price in the Field!
In reply to an invitatiou from a number ol
tho citizens of Lumpkin county, lion. W. P.
Price announces^ himself as a candidate for
Congress in this District, as follows:
Dahlonega, Ga., Fob. 2, 1875.
Messrs. Woodward, Howard, Lawtion, Lewi*
and others.
Gentlemen: In replying to your letter of
the29lb ult., permit me to say that I am pro
foundly grateful for this renewed evidence ol
your confidence, and that I yield to your re
quest, to allow my name to go before tho peo
pie at tho approaching election for Congress.
In thus aunouncing myself a Democratic can
didate for Congress from tho 9th District, I cau-
not see that any time-honored custom of the
party is violated, especially as other gentle
men havo been announced as candidates for
tho position. I shall cheerfully abido the de
cision of the people at tho ballot-box. My
political views will bo given to the people ol
the district by public addresses during tho
campaign.
1 remain, fellow-citizens, your obedient ser
vant, W. P. Price.
The Legislature.
Of tho seven or eight hundred bills intro
duced in both branches of tho Legislature-
most of which aro of a local character or pro
posed amendments of the Code—very few havo
been finally acted upon. Tho real business
of tho sessiou is yet to do. Tho Convention
question—Usury—tho Lien Law—tho Con
victs—and other matters of supremo impor
tance, have not yet received tho attention
their importance demands. When tho doors
ara once closod against tho admission of new
matter, these more important measures may
receive the attention of tho body.
Murder on the Air-Line.
A negro named 1‘hinizy Williams stabbed
conductor Dovaney on tho Air-Lino railroad
ono night last week. The negro escaped.
Augusta.
We had tho pleasure of spending two days
last week in this ancient, and elegant city, and
were pleased to meet many old acquaintances.
Wo have seen vary little of Augusta since
the war, and were not awaro until last week
that tho city had grown and improved so
much. Its commercial and manufacturing
interests aro builtling it up rapidly, and but
for tho panic, from which the activo businoss
interests of tho country havo not yet recover
ed, it would have made moro rapid advance
ment within tho past year.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ran
dall, tho geuial and able editor, and Capt.
Adam, tho polite and affable business mana
ger of the Constitutionalist, and also Mr. Gregg
Wright, one of tho able editors of the Chroni
cle <£• Sentinel, to all of whom, as well as many
other friends, wo aro greatly indebted for
courtesies during our brief stay. It is always
a real pleasure to visit Augusta, and long may
she prosper.
Globe Hotel, Augusta.
As is tbo custom of most up-country people,
we stopped at the “ Globe" last week, and
found this old favorite in now bands—Mr.
May being now proprietor. It has been ro-
paiuted. ro-furnished and rejuvenated gener
ally. In addition to this, its location is con-
vouient to businoss, being about tho centre of
the city. Mr. May and his subordinates are
polite, affable and attentive to the comfort of
tbeir guests. Seo card iu advertising col

The Civil Rights Bill.
This iniquitous measure passed tho nousc
of Representatives last week—a now rule hav
ing been adopted, which prevented " fillibus
taring." The Democrats fougbt it as long as
they could, but were finally overpowered, un
der this new rule.
The bill passed is knowu as the House bill.
It was shorn of a portion of it3 objectionable
features—those applying to schools and com-
oterios—before its passago. It is not yet a
law, and may bo Qually defeated. Tho Senate
has passed a civil rights bill, it is true, but not
the same ono passed by tbo House. It is pos
sible that tho vile tbiug may yet fall. The
bopo at one time indulged in tbat tho Presi
dent would veto it, if passed, scorns to havo
died out. Iudecd, we never bolioved bo would
dare do it.
The object of tho bill is not to secure any
rights to the negroes—for they already have
all the rights under the law known to tho
whites—but the intention of the Radical
party is to provoko collisions and stir up strifo
between the races, tbat they may have some
excuse for trampling under foot tho rights of
tbo States and crushing ont the liberties of the
people. This being true, it becomes tho in
terest of both races at the South to avoid the
least appearance of strife—for, whatever af
facts the whites must also affect tbo colored
peoplo also.
Clarke, Jackson and Gwinnett for Hill.
Public meetings in three of the largest coun
ties of tbo District—Clarke. Jackson and
Gwinnett—have declared in favor of Hon. B.
H. Hill. There ara sixteen other counties to
hear from.
We do not know how many porsons attend
ed those meetings. It is said tbat in Gwin
nett and Jackson the attendance was largo-
while in this county it was estimated at from
thirty to forty.
Lively Times In the Ninth.
The active outside interference in the affairs
of this Congressional District is working its
legitimate results. We shall probably have
half a dozen independent candidates. If the
people coaid be let alone and suffered to select
whom they please, there would be no trouble
about it.
We hope the friends of different aspirants
will keep cool. Let ns have no nndue excite
ment; but let the people, after cool, sober, de
liberate reflection, select and unite opon whom
soever they may prefer. If Mr. Hill is their
choice, do not suffer outside interference to
arouse prejudice against him. If he is not
their choice, let them select such Btandard-
bearer as they want, and then earnestly unite
in his support. , . -
This is now tho strongest and best organ-

SPEECH OF HON. JAMES J. TURNBULL,
Delivered in the House of representatives, Geor
gia Legislature, January 28th, 1675, on the
Bill entitled •• An Act to repeal an act Approv
ed August 27th, 1872, Exempting -Cotton and
Woolen Manufactories from Taxation."
Reported for tho Southern Watchman bj J. R. C.
Mr. Speaker: It is neither my intention
ncr desire to enter into any elaborate discus
sion. in submitting my views to the llouso in
support of the bill under consideration. The
goutleman from Richmond, (Mr. Walsh) pre
taced bis remarks by saying political econo
my teaches that tho wealth and material pros
perity of all countries is dependent upon a
liberal encouragement oi diversified industries.
As an isolated preposition, 1 recoguize fully
the force of tho gentleman’s argument—keep
ing iu view, at tho samo time, the additional
truth which political economy teaches,that the
instability of Governments, and tho want of
confidence in them, is attributable, in a great
measure, to a burdensome aud reckless system
of taxation. '
The bill under consideration proposes to re
peal the act of August, 1672, exempting cot
ton aud woollen manufactories from taxation—
putting them upon an equal footing with the
other industiics of the country, so iar as tax
ation is concerned. Over threo millions of dol
lars’ worm of capital is invested, in this State,
in irou.cottou aud wooiiuu manufactories, that
does not pay one furtuing to the support of
tho Government; all of which, it is argued,
has beeu induced to invest hero undor tho act
of 1872, by virtue of its exemption provisions.
If this assumption was well-founded, it would
seem, indeed, tbat tho profits arising from cap
ital invested in manufactories wore meagre,
aud exceedingly small. But quite the reverse
is true. There is au enormous premium upon
almost evory kiud of factory stock iu tho State.
It is a paying investment, aud more remuner
ative, perhaps than all others. Not because
it is non-taxable; but becauso wo have tho
material to manufacture, the population to
supply, and ample facilities for reaching tho
markets of tho country. Will any eano man
thou, •ntertain tho proposporous idea that
this great amount of capital, so profita
bly employed will be will be utterly crush
ed and annihilated because it should bo re
quired to pay a small amouut of rovenuo to
tho Government t Tho proposition is simply
untenable, and not supported by any sort of
proof. There is over three huudred thousand
dollars invested in iron manufactories in Bar
tow county, not taxed a dollar, and I am in
formed tbeso iron factories turn out daily over
thirty tons of pig iron. 1 merely cite this case
as au illustration.
We aro told by some gentlemen upon this
lloor, that they would havo no objection to
taxing them now, if it would not bo violative
of plighted faith and vested rights—that the
honor of tbe State is pledged, under tho vari-
our acts of incorporation of these manufactur
ing companies. I will endeavor to moot these
objections with legal proof. I assert that ev
ery act incorporating private companies issub-
jeet to future legislation, unless such righ' is
expressly negatived in tho charter or act of
incorporation, which idea is distinctly embod
ied in Section 1672, of tho Revised Code, and
fully supported and sustained by a decision of
the Supremo Court, -19th Georgia Reports, in
tbe case of tho West End & Atlanta Street
Railway, vs. tho Atlanta Street Railway Com
pany. 1 read from the syllabus of this case as
follows-
1st. The laws which exist at the time and
place of making a contract, enter into and form
a part of it.
2d. Where exclusive authority is vested by
tho General Assembly, in a private corpora
tion, by its charter, under the general law of
tbe State, said body retains the power to mod
ify or restrict said exclusive grant.
3d. The power"te withdraw an entire fran
chise, necesarily includes tbe power to modify
or restrict tho exercise of it. Again, Chief
Justice Warner, in delivering the opinion of
the Court, in tho casejust mentioned, refers to
the caso of the Unioo Branch Railroad Com
pany vs. the East Tennessee and Georgia Com
pany reported in 14th Ga., and uses the fol
lowing language : This Court held and deci
ded tbat an act of incorporation, in which tbe
Legislature have reserved tho right to repeal
may bo repealed by implication, upon tho
principle that every affirmative statute is a re
peal by implication of a precedent affirmative
statute, so far as it is contrary thereto; that if
the complainant company had had tho exclu
sive right granted to it by tho act of I860, as
claimed, that it was competent for thoGener.
al Assembly, under tho general law of tbe
State, to modify and restiict that grant, as it
did, by the passage of the act of 1872, which
repealed all laws in conflict with the provis
ions of that act. This did not impair com
plainant's contracts under its charter, with
the State, because it made thcjcontract in view
of tho general law of tbe State, which entered
into and formed a parr, of it, I proceed,, then
upon tho assumption—taking for authority the
decision of tho Supremo Court -that all of
these private corporations were created with
a full knowledge of the fact that they wore
subject to future legislation, unless such right
wa3 positively negatived in their various char
ters, and that no plighted faith on tho part of
tho State will be broken, or vested rights in
terfered with. The Constitution declares that
the power of taxation, over tho whole State
shall bo exercised by the General Assembly;
and taxation on property shall be ad valorem
only, and uniform on ail species of property
taxed. But it is au admitted fact, that In the
very teeth of this Constitutional declaration,
some of tho factories in tho Stato are taxed,
while others are exempt. Thoy are certainly
tho same species of property, and should all
bo taxed, and taxed alike. So much for the
legal aspect of tbe question, as I understand it
I now ask, gentlemen, in all fairness and
candor, do you think it just and equitable to
exompt wealth and capital from taxation, aud
at the same time tax overy blanket with which
the poor man covers himself, aud tho very
skillet iu which bis daily meals are cooked 1
Indeed, I am at loss to comprehend bow any
ono can have the audacity to advocate
upon this floor, aud before the country, such
a proposition. Tbe people will not submit
to such class legislation, and unwarrantable
discrimination. You need not tell mo this is
not a stab at labor and the farming interest
of tho country, under the sugar-coated plea of
progression and developing the resources of
tbo country—tbo veriest relic of the Bul
lock reign, where this idea of progress first
originated, cankered with Puritanism aud
Yankee trickery. I want to seo the country
drift back to its ancient moorings, in some re
spects, and to first principles. We havo al
ready gone too far, and nnless we retrace our
steps, ere long we will be at sea, without sail,
rudder or compass.
Our taxes are onerous, and instead of be
ing reduced, are actually iucreasing, year af
ter year. Yet, is there no remedy f I think
so, if wo would only apply it. Let an end In
put to exemptions of property from taxation,
thereby increasing the amount of property to
be taxed. Let factories, railroads, and every
other kind of property bo taxed, and made t<>
hear its equal share of the public harden,
md there is not a doubt but that our present
financial embarrassment will be ultimately re
lieved. The Comptroller General informed
me, ot. yesterday, that the Finance Commit
tee would have to recommend the appropria
tion of over seven hundred thousand dollar*
(in addition to what will be required to bt-
raised for the civil establishment,) to pay tbe
interest on the public indebtedness of the
Slate for tbe present year, which vast sum
will havo to bo raised by a direct tax on tbe
peoplo. The Treasurer, in his anuual report,
states tbo actual bona fide indebtedness of
tho State to be over eight millions of dollars,
which is an immense debt for poor people to
pay—for, it seems, you are determined to
exempt the wealth and capital of tbe couutry
from tho payment of any of it. Tell mo, then,
are you prepared to vote agaiust this bill, and
faco your constituents, who have charged
yuu with a high aud responsible duty, aud
say to them, with ali tho glaring facts before
your eves, that you voted to exempt three
^millions of money from taxation, and at tbe
time voted to tax the last farthing the
in possesses 1 Think about this, 1
beg you, aud do not *• go off after strange
gods.” The eyes of the couutry are upon
us, and unless we exhibit a desire to legislate
fur the greatest good of the greatest uutnber,
guarding, at tho same time, jealously, the right
of all, we aro certain to meet tho cuudemnatiun
of the couutry, and justly too !

District to ho their standard bearer in tho
struggles for liberty which are now begun
| and which must culminate in tho near future
either in tho complete overthrow and subver

justice aud liberty ; and whereas, tho necessi
ty is upon us to elect anothor good man, truo,
valiant and strong, to go forth to battle and
bear the standard aloft in the great intcllectu
al arena of the national councils ; therefore,
lio it resolved by tho Democracy hero assem
bled :
1st. That wo sincerely deplore tho death

has been cut down in tho very prime and vig
or of life, in tho midst of a successful public
career, rarely attained by ono so young ; aud

sioned iu tho Georgia delegation to the 44th
