Ju:»t as we Expected.---Clews is
Work.
«£>ome of the people o 1 Brunswick
have had a meeting and passed reso
lutions in favor of paying Clews the
bonds of the Albany & Brunswick
Railroad, or condition that Clews now
builds tho road accorJiug to contract.
It seems to us there are several se
rious objections to this plan: First
the State aid granted to this road first
and last, we have been informed, was
nearly double the amount necessary to
build the road outright. But the prin
ciple upon which aid to other roads
has been given was to help those who
were willing to help themselves, and
not grant any aid until the stockhold
ers had shown their faith in the value
of the stock by building a portion of
the road themselves. On other roads
the stockholders only asked help from
the htate. on this they asked that
the State do all the work and more
too. Is it believed or pretended tc be
believed by any one, that the road
when finished would sell for one half
the amount’ of the bonds? If not
why then hire Clews to finish the road
at a price double the worth of the
property when it is finished? Some
may sav the honor and faith of the
State is involved. We do not think so.
The honor of Bullock and Kimball
may be involved but not the honor of
the people of Georgia. The people
of Georgia were not a party in that
baigtin. There lias been a bad odor
about the charter of the Brunswick
& Albany Railroad all of the time.—
It was carried through the Legisla
ture by Bullock at the point of the
bayonet. We were told that he com
pelled members to vote for it by
threatening to veto their favorite meas
ures if they refused. Some of the
men promincfit in the movement were
auspicious characters, and the privi
ledges granted were so extravagant
that it was always believed that Bul
lock and Kimball intended to use the
bonds for their own benefit. But af
ter they had a charter so favorable to
the stock-holders, they would not
wait for the bonds to be issued ac
cording to law, but used them before
the work was done and when they
were issued contrary to law. We are
good friends of the people of Bruns
wick and wish well to their city, but
we believe this charter of tho Albany
and Brunswick Railroad has been a
wicked and corrupt thing, and from
the beginning. If the road was built
to Cuthbert we do not believe it would
benefit tl e people of Brunswick much,
and we believe it would be unjust to
the people of Georgia to pay the
bonds. But this movement shows
that the agents cf Clews are at work
and nothing but a prohibatory clause
in the constitution will ultimately
prevent them from getting some Leg
islature to vote for paying them. We
doB't believe the prosperity of South
West Georgia, or oven Brunswick de
pends upon Henry Clews or the Al
bany and Brunswick Railroad. But
we believe the prosperity of the whole
State depends lor several years upon
the repudiation of Bullock’s fraudulent
bonds. We do not blame the people of
Brunswick for this movement, for we
suppose they think the prosperity of
their city is involved in the payment
of these bonds, but we do not. If it is
very important to have the Railroad
finished to Cuthbert, let the State
finish the road rather than assume the
payment of Bullock’s fradulent bonds.
Circulating Library.
Dropping in at a book store in Al
bany, Ga., wo found on one side of
tho store a good collection of books,
forming a circulating library, having
the regulations given below It speaks
well for the taste and intelligence of
Albany that it sustains such a library.
In some portions of the country at
least eight out of ten of the towns
and villages have them. What enter
prising merchant wiil get up one for
Milledgeville? We found a very re
spectable library of the kind in a fruit
and candy store in a distant State.
Some good man carefully selecting
bis books so as to exclude everything
of doubtful or immoral tendency,
might do good service to the commu
nity and himself by establishing such a
library among us.

DEATH OF THOM AH RAGLAND. )
Mr. Thomas Ragland, * senior pro-!
Economy is wealth—Call at
JOSEPH’S.
fives no doubt take an interest in whatever relates to
the different candidates for office, we have coincided
to give the following incident that occurred in 18CI,
but wliiuh has never before appeared in print, and boa
been but little spoken of, yet if any true Georgian can
read it without fee’ing wanner than usual towards
Col. Thweali;, hi* heart is not like ours, when we first
beard ofit.
In 1861, Col liiweatt was in the zenith of his popu
larity as Comptroller General of Georgia. Having
several years before been elected Comptroller, when
the office was scarcely ever spoken of, and considered
of but little or do importance—by his carrying out fully
many important duties required of former Comptroll
er*, bat neglected by others, and by his adopting a
new system of reporting, showing the various source*
of wealth of the State from the Tax Boats, (which ha*
sinoa bean made one of the duties bf the Comptroller
General) and hi* goingback into the past, and gath
ering up the old tax claims of the State and paying
into the State Treasury largo amounts of money from
the same, and, a*, ander his administration tne per
cent tax want down, while the same ameunt of money
was required to be raised all the time—it was frequent
ly asserted, and believed by many, that few States
had as good, and none had a better Comptroller Gen
eral than Georgia. Indeed the Financial part of his
Reports, as soon as issued, were usually telegraphed
to New York.
Such being Col. Tbweatt’s position and standing at
the beginning of the war, mat, in 1861, alter the
Confederate Htatea Government was organized, and
while Congress was perfecting a tax system, the Hon.
T. R.R. Cobb, wrote to Major John if. Steele (CoL
T’s former partner and ffieud) requesting him to see
Col. Thweatt, and to tel! him to hold himself in readi-
cess to take charge of the Tax Bureau, then about to
bo organized—that there was no doubt about bis re
ceiving the appointment if he would accept it—that
those who had tho matter in charge had the thing all
fixed &.O., but, that, as the Act creating it had not then
been passed, he knew not what the salary would be,
bat supposed it would be at least j*3,0C0. Major
Steele came to Milledgeville, and in person delivered
Mr. Cobb’s message, when Col. Thweatt replied in
substance to Miyor Steele as follows : “Tell Mr. Cobb,
and the friends bo alludes to. though not named, that
I am indeed truly thankful to them for their high ap
preciation of me. and their hind intention, but that I
can not accept. If my services are so valuable that
the Confederate Government may want them, they
are equally valuable to my own Stale—and now, that
we are going into a war, and perhaps a long one, and
the wives and clii'dren of many a poor mi.n Iu Georgia
will havo to be taken care of by our Slate, the means
for doing which isto be raised by taxation, as the last
Legislature unanimously re elected me Comptroller
aud everybody seorrn eatisSed with my discharge of
duty, if I have any experience or ability worth the
having by any Government, I prefer that my own
native State should have them. That although my
salary is but $1,600, and I am heavily weighed down
with work and with no cleik. yc-t, that I would rather
serve Georgia, with my small salary, than any other
Government with donble or Irillc the salary Arc. Say
to Hr. Ccbb further, that so long as Georgia needs my
services, or Will employ me, and will ouly feed and
clothe me and my family, no mutter what position or
salary the Confederate or any other Government may
Oiler mo, i will never detert. or leave Georgia!
This settled the matter. When the Tax Bureau was
established, it was tendered to some other, and accept
ed.
Somotlme after the Hon. A. n Stephens having
written to him to know whether or not lie would ac
cept the office of Chief Collector of Taxes for Georgia,
(the position occupied at different times during the
warby Judge Cabiueas and Judge Starnes) his reply
was similar to that made to Mr. Cobb - that ho “would
rot, quit tho service of Georgia to go into the service
of any other Government.”
There were not many I’eterson Tii weatt's in Geor
gia, iu 1861, (nor are they in Georgia now) who would
refuse an honorable anti responsible position with a
$3,000 salary and pleLty of Clerks, and bo content to
take a $1,600 salary with no clerk, suit hard work,
rather than quit the service of bid own State. It is to
be Loped that the Legislature iu .January will put him
back ia his old position, the Comptrollei’s office, when
if we are not much mistaken, iis will be as popular
with all classes of the present day, us he was witii all
classes iu former years, while “in harness.”
Of Course They Sid.
It is reported that the Collector cf
the Internal Revenue (it Atlanta and
his deputies, were in the habit of us
ing all the money they collected. We
wonder that the authorities at Wash
ington should expect anything else.
It was that money probably which
helped to carry the elections in Ful
ton county. The authorities at Wash
ington connived at it, but think it
necessary to make a fuss about it now
the electionis over. Here is what they
say about it.
The Atlanta Collectoeship.—A
Washington letter says : “A Govern
ment officer sent down to Atlanta
Georgia, to investigate the accounts
of the Internal Revenue Collector for
that District, has reported to the In
ternal Revenue Bureau that the col
lector and several of It is deputies in
discriminately used the Government
funds for their own private purposes,
and that the Collector had received
presents from tobacco manufacturers
for selling them stamps on credit, in
violation of the law. On the receipt
of the report the commissioner issued
an order suspending the collector
from office, and has instituted proceed
ings against him for the recovery of
the amount due the Government.”
Tho Credit BKobilier Scandal Inves
tigation.
When Congress reassembled .and
Speaker Blaine and other members of
CongresB accused of bribery’ in that
famous Union Railroad scandal de
manded an investigation, and a com
mittee was appointed to investigate
their conduct, many believed the mem
bers accused were innocent, and that
the investigation would prove them
so ; but when the committee assem
bled and closed their doors against the
public and the reporters for the press,
men began to change their opinions,
and it is now generally believed the
members are guilty, and that the com
mittee was only intended for a blind,
and that their report would be noth
ing but a coat of white-wash spread
over them to hide their guilt and mor
al depravity, and this latter opinion is
not confined to Democrats, but is also
entertained by many staunch Repub
licans. An article in the New
York Evening Post, a Republican
paper, seems to consider it a bad
case. The Post thinks that when
men are innocent of a crime charged ,
they are willing to have an investiga
tion before the world. But when men
want the doors closed, and an investi
gation in secret made by political
lriends, it shows that they believe
their deeds will not bear the light. It
is certainly a very bad sign when po
litical parties try to bide from the pub
lic, and cover up the rascalities of
their associates, but this has become
so common of late that it is expected
that this committee after sitting a long
time with closed doors, will come out
and declaro the whole possee inno
cent, although the proof against them
is of the most positive kind. It won’t
do to convict so many of the leading
Radicals in Congress all at one time.
Death of Gea. A. &• Wright.
On last Saturday the report reach
ed our city that Gen. Wright was
dead but as we could not trace the
report to its source, we hoped it would
prove incorrect, but on Monday the
report was confirmed. Gen. Wright
has for many years been a prominent
man in Georgia. As a lawyer and
politician, an editor and a soldier, he
ranked high. But a short time be
fore his death he was elected to Con
gress from the 8th Congressional Dis
trict, and had he lived to have taken
his seat in Congress he would no doubt
have been one of the boldest defenders
of Georgia in that body. All who
served with him in the Confeder
ate army give him the credit of being
a brave soldier.

Mr. Ragland was born in Raleigh,

1798. He removed to Georgia early
in life, and was for a time, before his
removal to Columbus, connected with
a newspaper at Milledgeville. ne
was married in Jones county, Ga., by
Rev. William Capers, to Miss Sarah

been constantly connected with it,
part of the time as its sole proprietor,
and at various other times in partner

To his sterling integrity and good bus
iness management the paper has been
mainly indebted, for tbe last thirty
years, for its prosperity and populari

public trusts of a responsible charac

AGUE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claim* for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to tbe public for the safe, certain, speedy and per
manent cure of Ague aud Fever, or Chills mid Fever,
whether ol short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear liim tes
timony to the truth of the asseition. that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are
strictly followed aud carried out. In a great many
rases a single dose lias been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a peitect restoration of the general health. It is|
however, prudent, and in every case more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller dose* for a week
or two after tli* disease ha* been checked, more es
pecially iu difficult and loug.*taudiog case*. Usually
this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow
els iu good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
four doses of the tonic, a single dose of BulCt \’ege
table Family Pillt will be sufficient.

Louisvillk, Kr., Oct. 8,18C2.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir : M any thanks to you
fur the medicine you have *o kindly given me. 1 hava
been a great sufferer for years, and had the advice of
various physician*. Some pronounced my spine, some
my lungs, and some my heart to be the scat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who examined my spine informed me that
I was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day
and that nothing but a setou would relieve me, I had
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent rae your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
’. imes a • da 7' f had suffered terribly with a men
acute pain in the right sido of inv head, especially
when I wonld read or write for any length of time, ami
on rising to my feel I would be puriectly blind for
several minutes, aud wouidhave to hold to something
to prevent falling.
1 am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved; I suffer hut seldom with my
spine and then uot so acutely. My appetite is goou j
indeed fur tbe first time iu my lite I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal daring the day.
You kindly sent me lour bottles again last night,
and I began again thii morning, and I Imps to be en
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks nnii
be»t wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Uiv&jt*.
My ionrual abounds with similar letlcrs, all of
which 1 guarantee lo bo genuine aud written by the
person* whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to ba imposed on. Donl'bo
drawn away after new and doubtful experiment*.
Don't risk your health by letting novices experiment
upoa you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla bos stood
the test for twenty five years; it is still the Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in
popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those
who arc trying to palm oft' ou you other extracts ef
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr- John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is th* old
and reliable reuiesl^ ior impurities of the blood and
scrofulous affection*. Always bear that in mind.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficacy
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing aud beneficitl
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounded about two years ago, was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen moaths. Being
moved so often, my wonnds have not healed yet. I
have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, aud I need something to assist nature; I iiavs
more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I
wish that which is g*nuiue. Please express me half a
dozen bottles, and oblige.

P. S.—The following was written April 30th, IdCti
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson:
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband,Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, whero he died, leaving the above U.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he
bad a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for tea
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it- The cures ef
fected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were
almost miraculous. I am very auxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is
fearful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing
to you font. Ilia wounds were terrible, but I believe
he will recover-
