Hon. II. P. Bell for Congress. We are authorized to announce that the present incumbent, Hon. H. P. Bell, is a can didate for re-election to Congress from tbi District. Col. Bell was born in tbo Ninth District—has always lived in it. and never ex pccts to leave it. He has faithfully represen ted his constituents in both Confederate and Federal Congress, and “ illustrated Georgia” In the “ tented field." His record is before the country, and he appeals to the pooplo of the Ninth District, to whom ho cheerfully sub mils the question whother bo shall be retained in their servito auy longer. 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 umns. 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- izedCongressIonal District ia the State. Those 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 !

Garnett McMillan, who had been ehoseu by the Democracy ot tho 9th Congressional 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 sion of Constitutional Government in the United States, or in a grand triumph of truth, 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.
