It alxo raised the presumption, thet the Governor
had changed his mind as to the jastice cf ldsj ir
Cooper’s demand, and that he was determined not
to concede the principles, upon which tne Major
r redeca'ed hi-claim for a redaction of his treigni*.
The cometnees of thi* presumption is confirmed
by the facia, that the redact on was not made in

It Mtj. Cooper has found the eveideuce of an
“unjust, unequal, and oppressive uial administra
tion” under Gov. Johnson, up to ihe time of his
nomination lor re eleciioD, by a comparison of the
rates of freight, between Atlanta and Marietta, and
between Atlanta and Chattano gv, Low does he
appo r beiore the country now, when he ia en
hated in tho support of the administration, he has
denounced without a recantation, of the specific
errors complained of. It tho reduction of his own
freight* to tho amount of six thousaud dollars a
year, is *-uflicient inducement lor him to support
Gov*. Johnson, bearing the Bins which he has
charged upon him, wo shall not ravii with the
Mi jor about it, but simply suggest that he ought
not to bo so sensitive, when the oharge of pock t
/a'jrwti'in is applied to him. It is true, aa insmu
a ed by Mtj. Cooper in his Utter, that we were
i-ppcced to the principle, upon which tLe tariff cf
freights was laid.
Wo believe that the policy of tho read, was
calculated to “blightthcprosporty ot the Cherokee
coautrv,” well us iu.Lions to the in.e;-
es's of the whole State—that Maj. Cooper, occu
pying a way-station upon the liLe cf Road, was
entitled to a reduction of freights with other way
stations, to a fur and just proportion to the
through charges, but that these deductions ought
to have been made, aye, a Stnse of justice i > the
Chtnkts people, ought lo have induced the Gov
ernor to nave made them b foro he bo amo a can
didate lor ro election ; and that iu making them,
they ought to have been genoTal, and not at; influ
ential individual, selected as the recipient of exe
cutive favor. It the Governor believed thereduc
tnn was right and jasL 1C ought to bavo been
mud© long hgo—if ho believed it was not fouuded
in jaaticj, ho eight not to have commented to have
giv.n away six thousand dollars of tho people’s
money, yearly, to conciliate Maj. Cocpoi’ssupport.
Maj. C oper den es seeing cr holding any-confe
rence with the Governor upon the subject, uutil
it was announced that the act of justice long
claimed by him had beou eomsummated. Will
M»ij. Cooper deny, that U eie whs no linterposition
ol their mutual friends to offeol “this arr nge
raent,” and will he deny that there w s no
political motive operating upon the Governor at
the time the reduction was made ! In this light,
wo condemn the motive of the Governor in mak
ing tba reduction—we condemn Mm tor the tardi
ness of this partial tot of justice to the people of
tho Cherokee country.

Mr. Toamfct—lLe Chronicle Jk Nestled.
Is his speech at tka Cry Had, ThuTadsy night,
we Learn y'er we did net hear 1:) that Mr. Toombs
emptied the rials of i La wrath on the Chronicle <k
StrdirwL, in an a tack which was as coarse, low and
vu.gar, ta ebarsateriat c. We conteae oar surprise
at this unprovoked Bsuult, and are wholly unable to
account for it, unless he was influenced fc J a desire
toicg-at.ate himseif suddenly tad effectually with
the detnocncy, with whom he is now affiliated, and
thought this toe baa possible plan to accomplish
that object. The oetensibie excuse offered for it
wis, we learn, our p biioation, a few deys since, of
au article from a correspondent, *• hanhot," in re
lation to a conversation of the Hon. A. H. Ltethens,
ssidto have been held in Jefferson county, on the
subject of Mormonism, to which Mr. Stephens re
plies in this dey's paper. Os that convereation wo
know nothing, tud whether true or false, oar cor
respondent is responsible fur the statements made
by him. Wo will not pretend to repeat the coarse
and low epithets which we have beard Mr. Toombs
bestowed so flippantly and lavishly up; n the
Chronicle db Sentinel, or attempt to respond in kind
—tho Senator is an expert at that game, and has
wen laurels- from many an adversary of more skill
than we pretend to b at. We therelore yield the
palm to him, without a contest.
We are informed, however, he charged in sub
stance, that “the o.iumusol the Chronicle dc Sen
tinel had been opened to the lowest and vilest
abuse of the lion. A. H. Stephens.”

better the Tiobaxi Toombs. Ws are not surprised
I at this. for the flippaney with which Mr. Toombs
; makes reckless as- ertioue, and his great capacity
I for economising troth, have long been known to
; intimate acquaintances; and while it was
i 1 u infirmity, it was a source of re
gret to all, and deplored by none more than
his f iend, Mr. bTtrHENs. The existence of
such an infirmity will not, however, artocish any
or.c, when they are informed, that ho has, within
the p.oaeut week declared that “ha believed Her
souell V. Johnson a damn lute dawn scoundrel,"
rnd that “he would voto for him if he knew he
had itoun all Iks money oat of the Treasury of the
Stale,” or had “caught him stealing a sheep out cf
hi* pen.’’ Bach a degree of political prostitution
and depravity we had not Bdppoiei the Senator
bad attained. It seems, however, we had greatly
over estimated him, if Lis own assertions are to be
credited.
Iu conclusion, wo should do injustice to our

Mr. Stephen!’ Ccmuuuicatloni, Speeches, Ac.
Onii attention has been called to a communica
tion in yesterday’s Constitutionalist, under the
signature of “1*.,” in which it ia asserted as a
“fact,” that Mr. Btefhei a contracts to pay for all
his article* published w, thi Chronicle t& Sentinel."
On Monday last we hoard, for the first time,
from W. A. Walton, Esq., that such a story was
iu e rculalioo iu the streets, when we gave it a fl it
cuntrad ction ; and two or three times since we
have been aaked about it, and as often contradic
ted it. We were surprised, therefore, to see it
published, a tor onr unqualified denial cf its
truth. We do not rsgrttit, however, as it affords
at the opportunity to give the story a quietus,
which wo shou'd probably never have done
through our columns, while it continued in the
shape of a stroet rumor.
There is not a word of truth in the statement—it
is fairs in ovary respect. Mr. Stephens not only
cover contrac’ed to pay for the publication of his
speeches and communications in the paper, but he
has never been charged for either a single cent, as
our Bookß wilt show. When he published his let
ter on the 12th of May, (we thiuk that was the
time,) perhaps it was whan ho made his speech in
this ci'y, declaring himself a candidate, ho men
tioned to us that he should probably wish, during
the canvass, to avail himself o, the use of our cal
amus to discuss tho questions of the day, and pio
posed to pay for it. We r plied that we would
publish his articles, bat that we had never charged
any one tot tho publication of a speech or political
communication, and should not now commouco on
him. He urged the propriety of our charging him,
and insist -d that it was nothing but just ; adding
that he did not think it was right to allow him to
octupy our columns to the exclusion of other mut
ter, which nhght be o! more interest to the mars
ot our readers, without being paid for it, and that
ho wts perfectly willing to do so. Wo, however, ad
hired toour position, and the subject was dropped.
OfcouTPO we do not protend to give anything but
the sub tance of u conversation, which occurred
at leabt lour mouths ago. Iu accordance with cur
refusal to charge him, we have continued to
publish bis speeches and communion.ions, with
out ever charging a single cent for either, ss cur
Book Keeper and Boobs will attost. Ttie only
charges ou our books against him are those for
pub’iehing 2uoo extra copies of bis letter in
hm d bill form, and three of bis epeecbes in
pamphlet form; and in no instance was be
charged a full price for tho job, because we gave
him tho benefit of tho standing type. He could
not huvo ha t the work executed at any office in
tho State lor the pr'ooi charged. This, we think,
will Bottle tho story at or,co end forever.

Democracy in 18S6.
“It is evident that tie Admission of Cali

by the voles oi foreigners and ali-.ns to our country
and laws, was an 1 Ooiuion measure.
“It the Government allowed the rubbish citizens
of foreignc unir.ee to rob its c.tixsns of the miner,
it ought not to lava permitted them to btcome tte

Imp ktant Financial Movement. —We learn
from the M lwatkie Wisconsin, that the banks oi
that citv have held a meeting, at wh’cdthey ail re
eoivt-d, with the ixreptlon of the Wisconsin Ma
rine Bilk (Alexmder Mitchef!,) that oh and after
the 17 h irt-’anr, they will not r.cffve on depart
the notes of any ot the Georgia or Tennessee
banks. This is understood to be aimed at the
whole brood ol Georgia currency, introduced by
George Smith into the West.
The WHtonsfaJ adds that the example set by ths
banks of that erty wrl! probable he followed by s!l
ths ba-ks cf that State, and thus “ Georgia "cur

Voters.
We are under obligations to toe Democratic
organs, for publishing, just at this time, the fol
lowing extracts from the lews of several of tho
States, showing the .ua.ificalicn of voters in the
respective Sta'es:
Pennsylvania, one es the “Old Thirteen,” in her
Constitution provides, that,
“Every freeman of tho tgeof twenty or e years,
having resided in 'bis State one year, and in the
election district where they offer to vote, ten days
immediately preceding such election, <fco., shall
enjoy the rights ol an elector.”
New Hampshire, another of the “Old Thirteen,”
In her Constitution provides, that,
“Every male inhabitant, of twenty-one years
and upwards, shall have a right to vote.
The provision cf the Constitution of Indiana, is
that,
‘■Every white male of foreign birth, of thft age
of tweuiy-aae ye.ra aad upwards, who ahaU have
resided m the Boi-eo States one year, a-d ehall
have resided in this State during the six m< ntne
immediately preceding a odd a.- of on, and shall
have deeered his intention to become a citsrn
of the Cnited States, shad be entitled to vote. ,
That of Illinois, is,
“Every white male infaab tant of the age of
twenty one years, who may be a resident ot the
State at me time of the adopt,on of thia Constitn
tion, ehail have tae right of voting.”
That of Michigan is, as follows,
“ Every white male inhabitant residing in this
State on the first day of January, one thousand
eight hundred and ufty, who has deciaied his in
teu ion to beo jmo a citizen of the Dtit-d States,
pursuant to the laws the’oof, six months prece
ding ea election, or who has resided in this Sta.e
twv years and six months, and deo.ared his inten
tion aforesaid ; and evory civilized male ‘nnaoi
taut of Indiana desieut, a native of the United
S'ates, and not a member of any tribe, shall be an
elector aid entitled to vote.”
Wisconsin provides, that,
“Every mate while person of the age of twenty
one years, who shall have reside l in tho State tor
oueytar, next preceding any election, and who
shad have declared their intention to become mu
xsns, shall be deemed a qualified elector.
In publishing tho above, which we find going
the rounds of the Dsrnooi atic organs, we desire to
cad the attention of the people of the South to the
operation of these regulations oi the free States,
upon the interests and institutions of the South.
The Constitution of the United £.u. .. .
: that members cf Congress rball be elected by these J
i jmieon* m Uni eevMaJjfWAq who are f.nthorixed
' by law to vote for of the moat numerous
L nr—*— V. ccff. V Uao prnvioea,
. that the bteetors <SV i'rssi «r‘ , •• S. .’resident

j the electors are eTcted by the people who are aa
t rorived to vote ft" tnemaera of the Legislature

six mouths in the State, and twelve months imho
Cnited States. The same of Wisconsin, <fce., &o.
Now when the p.cpla of the Sonth reflect, that
ninety of every hundred of the immigrants from
Europe, ate Freesoil, Abolition or Anti-Slavery,
even before thej set their feet on American soil,
a fact which no man who values his reputation
for truth wilt pretend to controvort; and when
they recollect thit Pennsylvania alone had in 1850,
808,105 Foreigtere—more than half the white
population of G.otgia —that Illinois had 111,860,
and Wisconsin 110,476, to say nothing of the
other Statos, with this odious provision of per
mitting Foreigners, not cititrns, to vote, they will
readily perceive what a door is opeu to swell tho
Abolition and Freesoil ranks, and to strike down
the South and her institutions through the ballot
box, in voting fer ir.otnbers of Congress and Presi
dent. The vole of Ln unuaturaliicd foreigner in all
the-o six States named, has just the same influenoe
in electing members of Congress ana President, as
the most intelligent native bom citxsn, however
iojg he may have lived and served the country.
What think yen cf this, people of the South! Are
you to bo blinded by the insane hue and cry about
proscription of foreigners, and iu your blind zeal
sanction this monstrous fraud upon your rights
and the Constitution of the country ! Or will you
rather rise up and tell the men who are thus de
luding you, that they arc unworthy of your confi
dence.
No sane man supposes for a moment, the fra
mers of the Constitution ever dreamed, when they
gave to the States the power to prescribe tho quali
fication of voters for members of Congress and
President, that they would confer this right upon
ignorant and stupid aliens—many of whom are
utterly unfited for tho eicroiso of the elective
frunohise. Yet, you perceive in the wild bidding
lor the foreign vote of this country, it has beon
done in sis States of tho Union, and thore are
perhaps others with whose laws we aro not fami
liar.
But we are told, that this is a mere State regu
lation—that the United States have no power to
confer tho light of suUrcge—they can only con
fer the right of citizenship 1 Is there any man
outside of an asylum who suppo°63 that the United
States cannot prescribe the qualifications of voters,
who are to elect their own officers—members of
Congress, and President 1 The thiDg is prepos
terous and absurd. The Constitution of the
United States, should require that none bat citi
Me is of the United States should vote for Pres
ident or members of -Congress. Then the term
of probatiou should be extended to double the
pieo_t time, the great mass of Foreigners would
b: more capable oi exercising the elective franchise,
than they are under the present regulation.
Wo need not enlarge upon this subject to the
intelligent people of tho South, whose rights are
jeoparded by thin fraud upon them und tbe Con
stitution. They can readily perceive that the des
tinies of this country may bo ruled by a Pr sident
and members of Congress, who owe their election
to foreigner-—men who have not b3en in the
country ono fifth of the time necessary to beco ne
citizens. Men who are opposed to the South
and her institutions, in uo manner scarcely identi
lied with the count'y, and thousands upon
thousands of whom are more ignorant of the
principles of our government than the more in
telligent claS3 of our negro population. We
mean no disrespeot to any Foreigner by this
remark, we simply mean to assert a truth which
eve y intelligent man, whether native or foreign
born, is perfectly familiar with, and will not hesi
tate to acknowledge, if he is either a frank or
honest man. _
Death of an Editor.
Thz Nashville Whig comes to us clad in mourn
ing for the death of E. P. MoGekty, Esq-, one of
its editors. In a brief tribnte to his worth, the
Whiff, rematks: His largo circle of potsonal
friends, who warmly felt his great moral worth,
will bo shocked at this announcement. No man
was more highly appreciated by those who knew
him well.
In connection with the political press in Ten
nessee, be has for many years been known to
tbcuiands as an excellent and forcible writer; but
we who have been intimately associated with him
in the business and social relations ot life, have
alone known how exalted was h<s moral and social
excellence. Hj was the very soul ot honor, and
never did a man live who was freer from intended
wrong or injustice to others.
He carved cut his own fortune from orphanage
and penury in youth. He was moral, temperate,
frugal, indußtriO -is, just and fearless, in ail the re
lations of life. He lived and died a pious member
of the Methodist Epsoopal Church.
It is with the deepest melancholy that we have
seen him cut off in the meridian of life, and from
a field of labor, in which he had toiled patiently,
but had not reaped rewards which it may justly be
Baid should have been in store for him.
“ Can such a man as Salmon P. Chase be elect
ed Governor of Ohio ! WaiMngton Union.
The Nashville Banner responds: Ask the De
mocracy of Ohio 1 They, or what is the same
thing, their representatives in the State Legisla
tors, elected him to the Senate of the United
States, when he was just as mnch and as openly
an abolitionist as he is now. Iu that election,
Mr. Chase did not receive a single Whig vote. The
Democratic members of the Legislature, wont into
“ fusion” with the Freeao 1 members—there
bair,g cf the UtfSr some half dexen or per
haps a dcx;u —and taking up this same Bai
mon P. Chase, elected him over the Whig
candidate. IltheWh gs of Ohio Bhould, at the
coming election, go into “fusion” with the Free
soilers, and elect him Governor over the Demo
cratic candidate, they would be only playing the
same game with the same instrument that the
Demcen.tß played upon them six years ago. And
yet if Chase should perchanoe be elected Governor
of Ohio, what a howl would be raised by a vast
number of tho organs of the very party which
elected him to the Senate of the United States!
Y’iilow Fever jn tbs Cocntet.— The N. O.
Picayune of the 20th in t, says:—The officers of
the steamer Southern Belle and Frank Lyon, both
ot which arrived yesterday, inform ua that the
yellow fever was still on the increase at \ icksburg,
Natohex, and, iu fac‘, at all points on the rver
with the exception of Grand Guif, where .he dis
ea. e bad disappeared. At Waterproof the fever
prevai.ed to an alarming extent and was spreading.
The officers of the J. M. Keif, from Onachita
river, report the ecuntiy bordering on the Oua
chita very sickly. The yellow fever is prevailing
at Trenton, Harrisonburg, Cow Bayou, and all
along the Ouachita and Black rivers.
The Fever ai Canton.— Mr. Shaw, the Presi
dent es the Howard Association, yesterday receiv
ed two despatches from Canton, Miss., requesting
him to send up ton more nurse 3, as the fever was
increasing there. Daring t e preceding twenty
four hours there had been 21 new cases and 2
deaths.
That Eorx!—“This incessant gabble about the
State Road has come to be a contemptible bore."
So says the Atlanta Intelligencer and so echoes
the Time? * Sentinel. Well, it is a fact fays the
Coltmsbu3 Enquirer that the Governor’s conduct
in reference to that road has bored the people
tolerably deep. The eonsequence of that conduct
are cow returning to his Excslency and borting
him and his friends with s twist stronger than a
two itch screw auger. The gabble, or something
else, is indeed a bore that is reaching ths vitals of
Got - J .hnscn, under the torture of which
tne prospect, of his longer officialexistenoe are
waxing extremely lean.
Gov. Shannon.— Gov. Shannon arrived at Shaw
nee, Kansas, on the 8i mat. He was welcomed by
the Hon. O. H. Browne in a florid speech, and re
plied in a temperate tone. He made no alluaion to
the slavery question, but expressed the hope that
while the citixsna of the Territory might d.lfar on
questions ot public polity, they should respect the
opinions and even prgjudieaa of eaah other.
Sale or Can—Tbe Falaeboog Exposed.
Ajtxb a silence of near two weeks, the Johnson
organs aud orators, sided by Jas. F. Ccorxa, the
Superintendent of the State Koad, have ettempted
an explanation of the sale of ears belonging to the
State, by tho Sheriff of Hamilton county, Tenn.
And such a lame and impotent explanation was
never before, we venture the opinion, presented
to an intelligent people. At firat, when the as
tounding intelligence was prcclrimed to tho peo
ple of Georgia, that lhair cars had been sold at
Sheriff’a 6al >, for the paltry snm of twenty-five
hundred dollars, and that too, when the State had
thousands in the hands of her offio-ats, mum was
the word on the part of these officials and their
organ*—mot a word of explanation could be had
from them. Even Sk>v. Jesseem, whan publialy
called on in Savannah, could offer no e-y*n«a or
apology for It. Finally, however, finding that the
Humor* of the people of the State were so loud, be
deemed it necessary, nay Important, that acme ex
planation should be made—some effort to appease
the public Indignation, moat be attempted. He,
therefore, it is said, telegraphed the Superinten
dent to meet him in Maem, and make the expla
nation to the pnblio. The Superintendent met
His Excellency in Meoon, end there tbe explana
tion or exouse was conooeted, and made pnblio
in the shape of a letter to a Mr. DaGaarxEMaaio,
and forthwith given to the pnblio through the
Johnson organs. About the same time, or a day
or two previous, the Atlanta /nteUigenoer and Jbc
aminer, catohing their cues no doubt from th e
Superintendent, essayed to apologize and explain
to an indignant people, why thiß dishonor bad
been suffered to attach to the State.
Tbe Intelligencer explained thus:
Now, aa to the matter of these osrs that were
levied on and taken off from our Baad. Who is
hurt I Does Judge Andrews attack the Directors
ot the State Boad because the Tennesssans have
been badly treated by tha’ interest! If hii bowels
of compassion thus yearn over the blood suckers,
let him come out with it, and let us see what griet
he will make of it. Then if he says that these cars
wore taken out ot our hands to the injur, of our
road or its business, we Inform him that these
were stock cart levied on, for which there is not a
call this season ; that the money was promptly sent
'to after the lew. and aur agent hid the property in
* d "on re now in our possession, and we
have no. «r as led them one boo* alter the levy.
We dewre the reader v» no o ..arefully the points ’
in this explanation, pare -ularty that portion which ;
vr - >-arr piMKtd iu itkiiss The Intelligencer, in
another article reu arks - follows:
“ Tha Superintendent of the Western and I
Atlantic Ha.ircad be! : r~e<! these (Tennessee)
claims to be vexatious and unjust, and In an
eordanoe with bis duty att-mpisd to defea
them In orde~. the. erdrs, tc t time ..
he deemed necessary -■ <pirairm oi
defenOyke permi'tet - cars, for which ,
tho State hast n» immediate nee. IB he sold. — j
These care were bid in by order qf the Superinten
den:, and art now m pcse.eeion of the S.ate ; there
has teen no harm done; no lose sustained; aud we
apprehend tbe honor us the State is placed on too
firm a basis to be affected by so paltry a transaction
aa this.”
Again we invite the readers attention to that
portion which we have plaeed is italics. Who
ever heard of a man’s gaining time to prepare his
defence by letting hie property be sold by the Sheriff.
This is desperation, indeed.
In a subsequent article the Intelligencer informs
ns "there is no levy on the Depot building in Chat
tanooga." He does notsr.y it hat not been levied on.
Our information, as to tbe levy, was obtained from
tho Chattanooga Gatette, which authority we gave.
In tbe same article the Intelligencer, iu reply to
our call upon it for light, says:
First, we feel veiy certain from the proofs that
we have in onr poose-sion, that these levies were
instigeied for tho express purpose of making K.
N. capital. It is certain that the parties maxing
these levies on the cars and the Depot buildings at
Chattanooga, knew that their money wa* ready upon
application for them at the Ocoee Bank, > nd every
body knows that levies upon tho property belong
ing to the State of Georgia, amounting to at least
forty thousand dollars, wete not oalled lor to eat
isiy a paltiy sum of two or three thousands. But
this ia the point. An attempt is being made by
the Chronicle, and its deaporute coadjutors to make
the impression that the payment of toe deots just
ly due from the road were withheld—that b.ate
Boad cars were levied on, sold for one fourth their
value, and after sale, taken away by the purchasers
ot the properly, and to the great detriment of tbe
S ale’s int rests. We explicitly B ate for the in
formation of the public in general, and for tbe
particular ‘aid and oomfort” of the Chronicle db
Sentinel, that the State of Georgia did not loose
“one lourth” of one cent on the sale of “these
cars;” that they never were for the space of
“one-fourth” ol one moment of lime out of onr pos
session, and that they were never removed from
our custody, having teen bnight in for ue by a spe
cial agent, ouly empowered so to do.
We again invite the readers attention to the
itai.es. The money was ready at the Ocoee Bank
was it! Thereby hangs a tail, which will be ex
posed in the conclusion of this article, mark it
reader. Here, reader, is a frank acknowledgment
that tbe C i altanooga depot was levied, a fact
which the Intelligencer and the Johnson Organs
had studiously concealed before. An honest con
fession is said to be good for the soul, an i we con
gratulate the Intelligencer upon itß progress.
Will the luttUigen.er inform ns who paid the
expenses of the levy and sale, if the state did not
loose any thing. Possibly, as the editor is a lawyer,
he can inform us how the oars could be in the
possession of tbe Sheriff end Judge Hock, and at
tho same time in the possession of tbe State.
We come now to the Atlanta Examiner's apolo
gy and explanation, which is in the following
language:
“Wei, what are the facts in t"is ease ! Simply
this, gentle reader, that the thirteen stock cars
wonh probably some one hundred dollars a piece,
«r ere bo"ffht in. by a gentleman cunnecUi with the
NcohnUe dk Chattanooga /■ ailroad, for, and on ac
count of, the Stats Hoad by and through the direc
tion of Major Cooper the Superintendent; and not
• -by an Agent of tbe Nuebvjlio dc Chattanooga
Baiiroad,” as such, but by him as an Jgent for the
Western <£■ Atlantis HaUruad."
W e have also italicised those portions of the
above, which we desired the reader to note par
ticularly.
Let ns now introduce Jam. F. Coopeb, the Super
intendent upon the stand, and hear his statement,
and see what explanation be makes. In his letter
to Mr. D. K. DeGraffenreid, of Macon, dated
Macon, Sept. 18, nearly two weeks after the sale,
he says:
Now, ae to the sale of cars. Several judgments
were Obtained against the Boad in Tennessee, on
account of claimß instituted in 1852 and I made
arrangements which I thought would prevent the
issuance of exeentions—nevertheless one of the
ere liters did issue, and levy was made upon fif:een
stock cars Btanning on the track out of use, at
Chattanooga— they went to sale, and were bid in for
our Hoad, by a gentleman who was requested to act
for us. Ws paid the money 'n two or three days
afterwards— the cars never loft our tracks—never
went out of our possession one moment, and the
Boad lost nothing by tbe transaction bnt the Sher
iff’s Commission on SI6OO.
Very respectfully, your Ob’t Sorv’t,
James F. Coopeb,
Superintendent of the W. & A. Bailroad.
Here, again, we have italicised portions of the
explanation, that the reader may note them more
particularly.
Tbe moment we read this explanation of tbe
Superintendent, we were convinced in our own
mind that it bore the impress of lalsehood upon
its face. We could perceive no good and suffi
cient reason for permitting a sale of tho oars, with
an Agent of tho State at the sale, with plenty of
money—the interest and eredit of the State for
bade each a policy; and we forthwith addressed a
a letter to H. W. Mashnsale, Esq., ot Chattanooga,
making enquiries as to the truth of the matter,
and we subjoin his reply. Mr. Massinbaxe is a
man of high character for truth and veracity, and
is extensively known in Georgia, having repre
sented Columbia county in the Legislature of
Georgia, and was for many years a Judge of the
Interior Court cf that oounty. His reputation for
truth is unimpeachable.
Voters of Georgia, read the letter of Mr. Ma-sin
sale, and then see how the plain and unvarnished
truth exposes and explodes all the falsehoods
which have been published to the world in ex
planation of this disgraoeful transaction. Here
it is :
Chatpanoo*a, Sept. 21, 1855.
J. W. Jones—Dear Sib:—Yours of the 20th was
received 5 o’clock this evening, hardly giving me
time to reply, with such full information as 1 could
do with another mail.
Mr. Bobert Campbell, Deputy Sheriff, for Ham
ilton County (Tenn.) levied on fifteen cars belong
ing to the W. & A. (Htate) Bailroad to satisfy one
11. fa. in favor of Poole & Co , and one in favor of
McTier, which fi. la. were lrom judgments by award
ot Judgeeat Cleveland, by conseut of parties.
Those cases were long in litigation and with
others were removed from this (Hamilton) County.
These fl. fas. were levied 28th or 28th of August,
and advertised atcoiing to our law, ten days at three
public f laces in the town and county. The ears
were sola on Saturday tho B.h day ot this month
a' public outc r y to tha higheet bidder. No agent or
other per son for the Stats cf Georgia was here J Been
Mr. Welsh, the Agent of the Depot hers, had gone
down to Marietta to his family, where he geos
every Satard-iy, or nearly every one.
Bcbt. M. Hooke, whom I have just conversed
with, says:
He attended the sale entirely at his own instance,
without the knowledge of any agent or reprsentative
cf Georgia, and baa for and bought them on his own
account! Fifteen were levied on, bnt two had
been misplaced, end only thirteen were sold, wh ; cb
brought 1,680 doJars, an average of $l2B and 28

little used, and were worth four hundred dollars

J udge Hooke, after the eats, voluntari'y told one
of the Clerks at the Depot, to say to Maj. Wxlah,
at hie return, that it he would pay him the money
again by the 18tb, he would give tack the oars to
him. The money »as paid on the 15th, (just one
week after the sale) and no extra charge was made
by Hookz, who could have done so, as he was not
under any obligations to the parties.
These judgments for $86,000 have given the par

This, voters of Georgia, is a fair expose of the
confidence which is to be placed in the statements
of the officials of tbe State. This statement of
Coorxß, the Superintendent, which contains
scarcely a tingle truth, is virtually an official docu
ment from Gov. Johnson himself. Gov. Johnson
Bant lor Coopeb, it is said, to Macon, and there
the story was ccneocted and published to the
world by their authority. Yon have seen Judge
Hookx’b statement, (Judge H. ia a prominent
Democrat, and a man of high character,) and you
have sesn the statement of Coopeb, tbe Superin
tendent. We desire you to analyse them carefully.
We deeire, too, that you should oompare the state
ment of the Atlanta Inteiligenoar about the money
tn the Ocoee tank, with Mr. Mamin»alx'» account
of how tbe debt* are paid by the President of that
Bank. Note the faetthst the cars were levied on and
advertised ten daye before the sale, and on the very day
of the sale, (Saturday, the Bth of September,) the
Bute’s Agent at Chattanooga, Major Wemh, get*
quietly into the cars and comes down to Mane ta,
leaving the property oi the SUt* under the nplifted
hammer of th* Sheriff. Mark all these thing*, P*>-
pleof Georgia, and then (UUrmiae at the
whether you will again confide the interests end
property of the Stele to tbe keeping of Governor
Johnson and his cfficiels.
But we hsve already extended cur remarks be
yond wh t we intended, and mustconolnde, with
out referring to many other points, which the
Intelligent reader will readily perceive.

Aaettwr fUltioa* Official oh tho Stomp.
W* learn from the Da'ton Timet, that Gen.
William B. Wozvcstu, tha Treasurer of tho Blote
Boad, has mounted the stump for Johnson. The
affairs of the dry rat party must tie in a desperate
state, when they are compelled to enlist two of tte
Railroad offloiais in stumping It. He made a
speech at TbEon, a Depot on the Bo id, on datar
dey, the lsth inst., and was Very much troubled to
aooount for the sale of tbe cars. The General was
evidently not posted—he was not informed of the
story the Governor and Superintendent were
about to oonocet In Macon, and mum tcae tie
word with him. He, however, did not like,
when called on to acoonut for it, not to make
some explanation, that wonld not do—he must
satisfy them some how or other, and be accord
ingly “ told the people there was t mething qf
decent about the sale of thosecare, and it would not
euit to have i\ understood at thie particular time,
why they were let go to sale." W hat that eecret is,
the good people will probably learn by referring to
the statement of Judge Hooxa.

Gov. Johnson—The Algerine Hang Bills.
The following Card from Messrs. Black, Un
derwood and Starb, all men of character for ve
racity, is suffljiently explicit. Gov. Johnson and
bis friend Dodb are placed in an unenviable posi
tion before the country:
Mb. Editob:—We notice in some of the papers
a letter from Mr. Dodd, which to a careless reader
wou.d teem to controvert tho statement made by
us and published in your paper. We say seem,
because it ia so constructed as to produce the im
pression of a contradiction, when really iu words
it does not deny what has been Baid. It is a care
ful lv written equivocation throughout—denying
nothing aud yet seeming to uony all. He bsjs
“when Gov. Johnson was at Kome in 1853, he
asked me to strike off several extra Southerners
containing Mr. Jenkins’ famous whig letter to the
Savannah Republican. 1 did as ho requested, aud
iu these extras were inserted two or three edi
torials from Democratic papers concerning the
Algerine law and Mr. Jenkins’ connection with it."
Now, tnis is Bimply an additional charge which
we had not heard, and does not effect the other ex
cept as a ccroberative evidence to establish it—it
shows there was a printing arrangement between
them. The other oharge wai not concerning “sev
eral extra Southerners,” but 6,000 algerine doou
monts or circulars which he Baid Gov. Johnson
employed him to print, &c. And this was not
“ carelessly said” either, for be said it with a seri
ous countenance, at more tha i onetime and plaoe,
and that, without having to be cross questioned.
He said moreover, that if tne election were to bo
had over again he would vote for Mr. Jenkins, that
he regretted he did not do so before, that he con
sidered Mr. Jenkins the bust man ; and he spoke
of the littleness and meaur.esa of this act in John
eou. There are many others who could testify to
the seme.
Again he says, “ I never lied the remotest idea
of sueing Gov. Johnson upon the account.” We
are not responsible for what idea he really had,
but only for what he said he had, and that was oi
ei.eirg Gov. Johnson. This is only a question of
veracity between J. W. Dodd, of some months
ego, and J. W. Dodd, of tho present time.
Why did not Col. Dodd tell ue when he presen
ted the accoui.t to the “Democratic committee of
of Floyd county,” and u?A«n that committee paid
it ? We would be willing to risk Col. Dodd’s testi
mony, on the stan i upon tho subject, with a bible
in his hand and an asseveration iu bis mouth.
Allow ue to say to the editor of the Atlanta lu
teltigenoer, that the “falsehood’' which he had
th e “pleasure of exposing” in connection with this
matter was ouly of his own progeny and ‘ we fear
that there is no hope of exhausting the Bupply”
whioh he has on hand. Respectfully,
Gao. S. Black.

Their Northern Allies.
In every northern Stete, says the Maoon Messen
ger, in which general elections have been held
since the passage of the Nebraska Kansas act, the
great invincible National Democratic Party has
suffered disaster and defeat.
Io almost nearly every Northern State, tbe great
invincible National Democratic Party is in the
minority—powerless, even iflt had the will to
protect the righte of the South, or to cheek the
progress of Froesoil encroachments.
In every Northern State without one solitary
exception, the great, invincible, National Demo
cratic Party has yielded to the popnlar o amor
against the Nebraska bill, and the repeal of the
Missonri Compromise; and if it has defended it it
all, has done it upon tho ground that it was a
triumph of Freesoil, and an extension ofthesrea
of freedom, “even to the Isthmus of Darien,” to
use Gen. Shields’ expression.
In every Northern State, ( with the exception of
Indiana and Massachusetts, —and in the latter
State it is but a corporal’s gnsrd of Federal offici
als,) the great invincible, National Democratic
Party, wherever it has met in State Convention,
to announce its position in view of the Presiden
tial canvass of 1856, has refused to endorse the
Nebraska bill, or has gone farther, and declared
in favor of the restoration of tho Missouri Compro
mise. We refer particularly to the recent State
Conventions of the Administration Democrao o
Pennsylvania, Main and New York.
The native Stale of Gen. Pierce—New Hampshire*
—the very Sevastopol of Democracy—is represen
ted in the Senate of the United States by a Frtteoil
Democrat! John P. Hale.
Illinois, the adopted State of Mr. Douglass,
(who has succeeded in stealing .from Mr. Dixon,
of Kentucky, and appropriating to himself, all the
credit and all the glory of originating the proposi
tion for the repeal of the Missonri Compromise,) is
represented if, tbe Senate of the United States by a
Free Soil Democrat /—Lyman Trumbull.
Beo nt elections have sent four Free Soil Demo
crats to the Senate of the United SUtes, to con
spire with Wilson, Summer and Seward, against
the Constitution, the Union and tuerighteof the
South, viz: Hale from New Hampshire, Dnrkee
from Wisconsin, Harlon from lowa, and Trumbull
from Illinoie—all Free Soilert, aye, and all Demo
crats— as reliable upon the subject of slavery as
A. W. Boeder, or John Van Baren, or many oth
ers of the offi:ials or the favorites of the Pierce
Administration.
This then is a general view of the oondition of
the great, invincible National Democratic Party of
the North, upon which Georgia Democrats ask us
to lean for support, and to which they ask us to
look for the vindication of constitutional princi
ples and tbe protection of Southern rights 1 A
minority throughout tho Northern States—in rapid
proeess of absorption by the Abolition Party pro
per, unable to protect sound men, or defend sound
principles—routed, disorganized, denationalized,
and afflicted with the “dry rot”—this la the broken
reed upon which Georgia Democrats would have the
South to lean.
The Bichmond Examiner and the Charleston
Mercnry are right—Win. L. Yanoiy of Alabama
is right—when they assert that the Democratio
Party of the North, even if it has the will is utter
ly powerless to protect the South.
In connection with the prejeot of a ship canal be
tween the-e two oceans, which is still under con
sideration, the Atrato and Trnando rivers, two
streams of New Grenada, are receiving attention.
The Atrato empties in the Atlanuo side by nine
distinct months. Neither of them have sufficient
depth, but the proposal is to oloee seven of these
outlets, thus deepening the other two. Sixty-two
miles from these months the Trnando enters the
Atrato, and for this distar ce the depth of water is
ample. The Trnando is then followed thirty-eight
miles; thence to the Pacific, twenty- five miles, by
an artificial canal three hundred feet wide and
thirty deep. Twenty-two miles of this canal would
be cat through solid rock, snd the other three
tunneled. It ie presumed that no locks will be re
quired. The estimated cost, from private surveys
only, is set down at one hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars.
Natubaj. Bbtssb —Among other California ca
riosities, tbe Shasta Courier is informed that a
natural bridge has been discovered near Watson’s
Gulch, in Trinity connty, which is described ss be
ing sixty-three paces through, sixteen paces in
width ; from the bottom of tbe gulch to the srch,
about twenty feet ; and the entire height, from
the bottom of the guloh to the top of the bridge,
about od6 hundred feet.
On the right hand as you enter the arch from
the eaat aide, is an apartment about 14 feet long
by ten feet in width, a:d 7 feet high, in which
there are quite a cumber of curiosities, in the
shape of rude bowls, basins, *.c. No d'gger
either male or female, ever passes here without
depositing either a stock or s'.one on the top cf
some rock neer this bridge. About half
the top of the arch to tbe top of the bridge is
another cave or apartment, but which,“J*"
its position, has not ae y« bee“
brdee is composed entirely of limestone, -the
wa’crflowing beneath it is of most excellent qual
ity—making the teeth ache because of its exces
sive ooldneas. _
On the 17th ult. Mr. Alfred Marsh, residing
about nine mile* met of Notasulgo, Mias., had three
of his children killed by lighting. Their eges
were as follows: Sixteen, ten and two years. The
children were returning to th* boose when they
were k lied. The eldest bad the youngest on his
shoulders when death overtook them.
A oontract has been made In New York for one

Diplomatic Histobt— Pemy and Bool* —The
Natioual lrde.Uigm.ctr of Tuesday, contains a scries
of papers which the Intelligencer says may proper
ly be regarded as the sequel to the famous Oatend
Conference. The papers are communioatod, says
the New York Courier and Enquirer, by Horato J,
Ferry, late Secretary of Lsgaton to Spain, and
consist of the letter of Hr. Maroy to Mr. Peiry,
dismissing him from offico. Mr. Perry’s reply
thereto, and also a reply of Mr. Perry to the arti
cles In the Washington, Onion, daring last June,
reflecting on Mr. Perry’s course as Secretary,
Mr. Perry, in his letter to Mr. Muroy, defends the
publication of his, (Perry,s) letter to the President
in April last, and for which publication he was
superseded in his official position. He says that
it was his right and his duty to address the Presi
dent before the people, when the country bud
been for months on the verge of a war, and his
“weak voice had been raised to warn the Govern
mant sgainatWmg conduct.© d to dishonor by A Min
ister deceived and d jeeiving, and when, neverthe
less, after the return of the Minister, he and his poli
cy were fonnd still to have weight enough in their
councils to make the war then highly probable and
immediate, so that the moßt prudent dticans re
garded hostile measures almost as if they hp.d al
ready began.” If ever the rigor of official etiquette,
says Mr. Perry, ought to have been neglected, it
was then. And farther, after the (Government had
by its own act published the correspondence of
the late Minister to Spain, Mr. Soule, and the pa
pers of the Oatend Conference, covering the
whole epoch referred to in his (Perry’s) latter, the
publication of that letter was necoess&ry and pro
per.
The reply of Mr. Perry to the Union, which is
very long and elaborate, confirms the previous dis
closures as to the pacific disposition of the Govern
ment of Spain towards the United States, the ap
parent indisposition of the late Minister Plenipo
tentiary, Mr. Soule, to effect an amicable sottle
ment of pending disputes, and the successful ef
forts made by Mr. Perry, after the withdrawal of
the Minister, to obtaiu from the Spanish Govern
ment the concession of every claim or accou mo
dation which his superior officer had been instruct
ed to press npon the attention of that Govornnnnt*
Mr. Perry ooncludes bis reply thus:
The Cuban plantations, the wealth, and ease, and
iirflatuoa set before me as the reward of my adhe
sion to the plot of war I How little did the man
who did it comprehend the true heart of an
American 1 I could forgive him personally for bis
ignorance; but against his policy and his diploma
cy I have labored as I ought. It is true my own
health and my little patrimony are gone tor the
present; but, thank God, I belive I have bad
enough of both to accomplish what it fell to my
part to do in the service es my country. I b .iievo
it is well done, and that the policy of peace and
I‘ostice with Spain is planted and will bear fruit,
f I am not mistaken, such is already the
will of the American people; and if I have
contributed anything, however little, to the hotter
efforts of other cilisens for that, I am content.
Personally, the hour of repose was necessary to
me. I had asked for it as a favor, and even as a
chastisement it is most welcome.
Stoxm n* Mobile. —The Advertiser of Tuesday

writing, a continuous storm of wind and rain has
prevailed, in each regard almost equalling the great

have received varioua letters inquiring my opinion
ae to wbat evidence the Superintendanta can re.

In my opinion, the oniy evidence tbet can be
requ red ie the oath of the person offering to vote,
as prescribed by the act of 1885—Cobb’B Digest,
page 282-40. If he complies with the provisions
of that act, nothing further can be required of him.
If be swears falsely, of courae he is subject to the
penalties of the law.
All persons who have written to me, will con
