JfltttkmfWtfaim Athens, Ga. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1875. Largest Circulation! READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. The New Railroad Route. We mentioned last week that a corps of en gineers had beeD here who were engaged In the survey of a route for a double-track rail way. This survey is conducted under the auspices of the U. S. Government, and we have come in possession of some facts since onr lost issue which may be of public interest. The corps referred to have orders to survey a route for a double-track railway from the mouth of the Hiwassee river, at Charleston, Tennessee, to this city, also to Anderson, S.

Blue Ridge, and came down by Tallulah Falls, intersecting with the Northeastern near Lula. We understand they surveyed a line from Har mony Grove to Winterville, which looks like leaving Athens “out in tbo cold." From Charleston, Ten., to this city, almost an air-line may bo found by pursuing the val x , . . , . , . . i loy of the Hiwassee to Unacoy Gap, crossing Blue Ridge there, where the Chattahoo- cbee rises, and following the valley of that stream to a point opposite Bolton or Lula, and government of any State, except as a last re sort for the public safety but he appealed to the voters of Connecticut, and to loyal voters everywhere, to keep the political power of tho Union in the hands of the unwavering and undoubted friends of tho Union—those who bad fought for it and saved it. When the ends of the war had been fully attained, when free suffrage was everywhere conceded, and when free speech was nowhere denied, when Wendell Phillips and Gen. Logau can speak as freely in Georgia as Lamar and Gordon can speak in New Hampshire, the necessity for further appeal to the loyalty of the North will have ended. Until then, while ho would cul tivate and encourage the kindliest feeling be tween North and South, be would urge the North to hold the political power as the guar anty of safety and prosperity to both sections. The Pullman Sleeping Cars, Which are on every railroad line in the South,' have been ordered to admit negroes on the same footing with the whites, and there is much dissatisfaction expressed, and very just ly, as wo think. should be applied immediately. Let no white man or woman who would escape degrada tion set foot in one of them again. Let it be, , . , , understood that all who do so will be brand- ,w — od by public opinion, and the evil will soon end. The proprietors will be compelled to rescind their instructions to agents or give np business entirely, as there will not be suffi cient negro patronage to make the business remunerative. Touch the pocket nerve and Pullman & Co. will soon cave in. Georgia Democracy. The Atlanta Herald remembers to havo heard a leading member of the Legislature from Northeastern. Wo understand that they are going to survey from the head of the Biwassee in Unacoy Gap to Belton—having already been over tho remainder of the route If this route shall be adopted, it will be an asy matter for Macon, Savannah and Bruns wick to effect a connection with this city, and Augusta.

United States Judges and United States Com missioners upon the new civil rights bill.— Their unanimous judgment was that with the exception of the jury clause, if decisions al ready rendered should be sustained on appeal, there is nothing left in tho bill. Tho jury clause, pending the debate in Congress, was conceded to be in a legal sense the weakest feature in tbo bill. The decisions thus far rendered declare that the law cannot affect The Late Cyclone. Those who have not actually seen the de struction caused by the late cyclone probably have a very faint conception of the power of the winds when lashed into fury as on tho oc casion of tho late cyclone. Wo passed the site of the viliago of Camak, on tbo Georgia rail road a few days ago, and although we had read many accounts of it, found we had not formed an adequate conception of the fearful power of the tornado. Giant pines and oaks wero snapped like pipe-stems and uprooted like weeds. This we had seen before; but the entire village, except one structure, was de stroyed—the debris scattered iu every direc tion, and mixed up in inextricable confusion. Shingles and other pieces of timber had been driven through and into telegraph posts and trees. The track of the tornado ran parallel w ith the road for some distance. The next place we noticed it*was in the vicinity of Thomson. Tho cyclone followed a straight lino, but the road doos not. There have been sevoral violent hurricanes through Madison and other counties in this section, by which vast quantities of timber wero destroyed, but lives wero not lost neith er wero bouses blown down. God grant that Georgia may never have such another visita tion. with so clear an outline as that of his compe titors. He served this Congressional district at Washington before the war, and is well up in tho sacoir faire of politics. His political and military services have made him well known throughout tho State. Like hiB com petitors, General Gartrcll is something in ad vance of the meridian of life. Gen. Colquitt, like Gen. Gartrell, is a resi dent of this county, and Atlanta is doubtless tbo center of his strength.

We believe it originated somewhere North, but has spread all over the country. It is simply a contest in spelling, such as some of our readers may have witnessed in old-field schools. A certain number of spellors on each side enter the lists, and retire from tbo contest as they misspell words. The last man left is pronounced vic tor. They had a trial at the Atlanta theatre Friday night—the price of tickets was 25 cts., and the Herald says there wa3 an audience numbering at least a thousand. Sevoral of tho Atlanta editors entered tho lists as cham pions. If tboy rend their own proof-sheets, they ought to attend frequently. They soem, however, to havo acquitted themselves very creditably on this occasion. Grady, of tho Herald, who was one of the last vanquished, finally succumbed on “ trafficking”—having omitted the “ k.” Not Worth the Parchment it was Engrossed Upon.” It is amusing to see with what dexterity Radical editors at the North, who, a few weeks ago, clamored so loudly for the passage of the civil rights bill, dismount from their hobby, since they find that, like an unraly donkey, it kicks up before as well as behind—that, in its practical application, it is as obnoxious and distasteful to respectable people at the North as at the South. While it was regarded as a measure of offense and irritation only to the white people of the South, and while there was a prospect of backing it up with the enforce ment bill, which would have brought the bay onet into play to put down the resistance of our people, which was so confidently counted on, thus affording political capital to the Rad ical party, its adoption was urged with a reck less disregard for the Constitution, the princi ples of law, or decency. It has required but a few weeks to develop the effect of the law in Northern as well as Southern communities. While it has not irritated worth a cent in the South, it has raised a storm of opposition in tho very heart of Radicaldom, and is denounc ed by the press of that party in every North ern city, as a most unjustifiable interference with the rights of individuals, and an innova tion upon the social order and conventional rights of the people. The following, from the Chicago Tribune, a leading Radical journal, in an eminently Radical city, is selected as a fair illustration of the changed tone of the Radical press ia regard to the law, whiob, but a few months ago, was held in such veneratiou as the sacred legacy of the sainted apostlo of so cial equality of the races. The editor, evi dontly in the best possible tomper, says : “ The first agitators for civil rights iu Chi cago under the new law have come to grief. United States Commissioner Hoyne, acting under the advice of Judge Blodgett, has dis missed the suit against the proprietor of the St. Elmo restaurant. The grouud of the de cision is that the civil rights law doos not ap ply to such establishments. Tho District At torucy at Washington has declared that, in his opinion, it does not apply to barber-shops Ben Butler hasaunounced that saloon-keepers can still choose their own customers for their intoxicating drinks. Judge Emmonshas prac tically swept away the whole law in his charge to the Memphis grand jury. It begins to look as if the much-debated act is not worth the parchment it was engrossed upon.

Speakership of the House of Representatives, Tho learned counsel on the other side said, that the fathers never attempted to exercise their powers. Did tbo counsel forget the great civil revulsion, through we had passed t The fathers bad never exercised these powers because there was no necessity to exercise them. Just as it was necessary to exercise certain powers during tbo rebellion nover be fore exercised, so now it was necessary to ex ercise the powers to maintain the results wrought out of that rebellion. The fifteenth amendment confers npon the colored people the right to vote, and unless Congress has the power to enforce the guarantee, it is of no value whatever. Mr. Justico Clifford said, in his State, (Maine) the colored man always had the right to vote. He would ask the Attorney-General whether if two indictments were found, of conspiracy, one to prevent a colored man, from voting, wonld tbo Circuit Courts of the United States have jurisdiction of both cases t Attorney-General—They would in the case of the black maa. I don’t oontend they wonld in the case of the white man. Mr. Justice Clifford—Then colored men have more rights in the United States Courts than the white man t Attorney-General—That does not follow. Tho Constitution dees not confer upon white people tho right to vote, but it does upon col ored people, and thence the power of Con ress arises to protect thorn in that right. He disclaimed asserting that negroes have great er right* than the whites, but these amend ments took them from a condition of slavery and guaranteed to them equal rights with the white man, and undertook to protect them against all discriminations. He would dow ask to modify the answer be had made to the question of Mr. Justice Clifford, and say that an indictment for depriving a white man of the right to vote at Congressional elections could ‘ be maintained in the United States Court, but he would not insist that it could be maintain ed if the deprivation of the right to vote was at a State election. Mr. Justice Story asked If a conspiracy was formed to prevent a man from voting because be was tho son of an Irishman, would the United' States Circuit Courts bare jurisdiction of that—It wonld certainly be a race distinction. The Attor ney-General said he had no doabt that Con gress had the power to provide for sucha case but he did not say llfwould come under this aot.

It was from the Speakership that Gov. Smith stepped to the Governorship and began % ca reer of distinction, which will evidently not end with the expiration of his present term of office. An unknown quantity in the Guber natorial issue is the strength of Gov. Smith, should he desire re-election, and a question giving no end of trouble to the various aspi- rants is tho Governor's wish iu the matter. A capital Governor, he is popular, and retains the able advisers who have helped him judi ciously on the road to fame. It has been hint ed that the Governor views tho Federal Sen ate as the goal of a laudable ambition, and that he would not uncouditionally refuse to be Sonator Norwood’s successor. His friends deny that he is a candidate for any office—a vaguo whisper which by no means removes him from the chance of the Senatorial' succes sion, and yet fails to soothe the visible appre hension of the friends ofaspiranufor the Gov ernorship, who see in Gov. Smith, ebonid he fail to bo chosen Senator, a very probable suc cessor of himself in the Gabbcrnatorial slip per. Blaine’s Speech--The Radical Key-note; Washington, April 2.—The following, as representing the line of argument upon which the Republicans propose to mako their con test, is given place on the wires: New Haven, Conn., April 2.—Hon. Jas. G. Blaino addressed a Republican meeting here this evening. He discussed the South ern question at great length, maintaining that so long as opposition to reconstruction on the basis of free snfirage and the constitutional amendments formed the principal Democratic Issue in the South, the Republicans wonld be compelled to make the support of these meas ures the principal issue Iu the North. He commented with some severity on the course pursued by the Democrats ia Congress oh the Louisiana question, and said they had arrayed themselves solidly against any adjustment whatever, every member of the party except Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, having voted against permitting the qnestion of ad justing and compromise to be even introduced and considered by the House. He said the evident aims of the Democrats was to restore their old mode of rating the country—to unite the South and detach enongh of the North to constitute a majority. With a consolidated South they only needed forty-seven votes in the North, and New York, Connecticut and California were just enough, with Indiana, New Jersey and Oregon to fight for. Let each of the States thus menaced take heed that it did not in peace enter a coalition to destroy the fruits It bad struggled for In war. He did not have faith in additional coercive legisla tion by Congress, nor would be Interfere in the The Can-Can in Augusta. A can-can troupo visited Augusta last week —not the crowd which disgusted Atlanta—and drew large audiences. It is said their dresses wore full length nothing, immodest appearing; but that on tho second night one of the men dealt his wife a brutal blow behind the scenes becauso she went back on the stage contrary to bis wishes. Illicit Distilleries. ’ Tho Atlanta Constitution tells what it knows about illicit distilleries, as follows: “ This il licit distillery business is carried on generally in tbo whole northern part of the State, on the line of the Bine Ridgo mountains. Last year the majority of tho arrests made by the reve nue officers were in the counties of Rabun, Union and Habersham; bat Gilmer, Pickens, Dawson and Murray counties aro not far behind. The distiller usually builds his house down in the thick woods, near some branch where wa ter is convenient, and as far from any rail or public road as he can possibly get. Here ho works away in almost perfect security for as he is on good terms with his neighbors and they don't tell on him. a deputy marshal might pass within ten feet of where he is working and remain in blissful ignorance. But let a posso of marshals come into a county and tbo activity that is displayed among dis tillers is tremendous. First they cover up and hide the stills, and so successfully can they do this that we know of an occasion wbon three or four officers searched a half acre of land on whiob they knew a still was concealed for a whole day, and never did find it. They next begin to waylay the officer, and usually they make the unfortunate deputies see a plen ty of trouble. If he carries a pistol, no mat ter if it is as big as a mountain howitzer, he will be halted every half mile or so with a war rant for carrying concealed weapons. If he enters a man's house and talks distilleries to him, he is immediately arrested for attempt ing a burglarious entrance, aDd if he should happen to run on a still-house by acoident, and set it on fire, be is at once picked up for arson. The distillers are not particular as to what they swear to when a Deputy Marshal is concerned, andthey generally make their ooun- ty too hot to hold him more than a few days at a time. The distiller is suspisclous of ev erybody who wears “ store clothes.” For store clothes indicate that be came from a city, tho chances are that he ie a Deputy Marshal in dis guise. When Prof. Little, of the Stato Geo logical Bureau, was up in that country, they mistook him for a revenue officer, and the Professor for some time couldn't find a man who would touch him with a forty foot pole, much less give him any information. After awhile tho mistake was rectified, and then every thing went on smoothly. *1 he same mistake was made not a very long time ago about a party of engineers on the Air Line Road, and they were pat to a great deal of trouble. But the best joke on tho distillers occurred when a party, belonging to the U. S coast survey, struck Murray county. The party, as usual, chose a steep hill, and then erected their field glasses and instruments for surveying the adjoining country. The distil lore took it into their heads that these instru ments were designed for the express purposo of spying ont hidden still-honses, and for fifty miles around that bill they took np their stills, bitched np their teams and made tracks Some of them didn't stop until they had pat a whole county between themselves and those machines. For a man in store olothes to at- ..Dr. 0. S. Holland, a high-toned and hon orable gentleman, and late Colonel in the Con federate army, was waylaid, brutally shot, and almost instantaneously killed by two despora- does on the Columbns police, on Monday last. It seoms that Holland and a gentleman of that city wero quietly walking down tho street, when Col. Holland was mot by policeman Cash and his brolhor. The usual salutations wore passed, when ayouuger brother ofCash, known as Babe Cash, approached and said some thing about Calhoun. Holland asked what he had to do with it, when this mau showed the butt of a pistol, and attempted to draw it. Colonel Holland drew his pistol, and placing it in his hand, told the young chap to go away, when pdlieemau Cash drew bis famous pistol, and placing it at the breast of Col. Holland fired. Both of tho thou assailants retreated, and Col. Holland fired after he was down. About the time this occurred, we learn policeman McEachron appeared ou the scene, and commenced firing on Col. Holland Whether any shots fired by him took effect or not, we are unable to say. No cause is al leged for this great outrage upon tho commu nity, except the fact that Col. Holland and A. R. Calhoun bad been on bad terms, and Cash and his brother and McEachren had be come his champions, and a word against this individual brought on the difficnlty. This is tho third homicide Cash has engaged in. ARE YOU Weak, Nervous, or Debilitated P Are you so Languid that any exertion requires more of an effort than you feel capable of making?
