—, Esq.. Stockholder in the Georgia
Credit Mobilier:

Col. Chas, L. Sneed’s proposed com
promise on the Bond Question.
AX ATTEMPT TO GET UP A CREDIT MOBI
LIER IN GEORGIA;
This compromise is different from
most other compromises that hare
come to our knowledge. In other
compromises something valuable is
yielded on both sides. In this propo
sition, Col. Sneed proposes to relin
quish to the State a parcel of fraud
ulent, illegal and forged bonds against
the State, if the State will pay to
his clients all they gave for the bonds
with interest. Bullock and Kimball
wanted money and sold these fraud
ulent bonds at a great discount or for
anything they could get. Col. Sneed’s
clients bought them on speculation
believing they could coax or frighten
or lobby the legislature into paying
them. But after taking all of these
chances and failing, Cel. Sneed comes
forward with what he calls a compro
mise. Somewhat similar would be
the proposition of one who had pur
chased a lottery ticket expecting to
draw a high prize, but when it came
out a blank should go back to the ven
dors and saj r I bought this ticket ex
pecting to draw a high prize, but have
drawn nothing, I now propose a
compromise, if you will pay back the
money I gave for the ticket with in
terest, I will give you back your tick
et. Even this comparison is too fa
vorable to Col. Sneed’s clients, for the
vendors of the lottery ticket got some
thing in pay for the ticket, but the
people of Georgia got nothing for the
bonds. It is vain lor these purchasers
of the bonds to say they thought they
were just and legal when they pur
chased them. - They were warned
hundreds of times by the press of the
State to beware, that these bonds
were fraudulent and never would be
paid; but in the face of all these warn
ings they bought them on speculation.
Well and truly does the Chronicle fy
Sentinel say there is no need of a com
promise. If the Bonds are just and
legal Georgia is willing to pay them,
if they are fraudulent and dishonest
she ought not to pay any part of them.
There is no compromise about it. If
the Bonds are legal and just all of
them should be paid, if not, no part of
them should be paid. Mr. Sneed says
be intends to come before the Legisla
ture fortified by the advice of some of
the most renowned lawyers and poli
ticians in Georgia. Here we get a
glimpse oi the Credit Mobilier Job in
Georgia. Many of the younger mem
bers of Congress have lately learned
that it is not always safe to follow the
lead of old and renowned politicians
and lawyers where dividends are ex
pected.

Letter from Atlanta.
lIuAenized Horse Malady—Oor New Judge—New
.Solicitor—Gov. Smith’s Rule—Our Senator and
Representative—Constitutional Convention—Capi

Atlanta, Feb. 1, 1873.
During the past three days (the
period tf our sojourn here,) the hu-
orized horse malady has been the up
permost theme of conversation on the
streets. Three out of four “people
we have met” have the “epizoan.”
Legislation—Judicial and Solicitorial
appointments—intrigue for favorite
schemes—all are conjointly less talk
ed of than the barking influenza which
just at present constitutes the great
distinguishing characteristic of the
*“Gate City.”
Speakiug of Judicial appointments
reminds us we have met here Hon.
G. T. Bartlett who has been made
Judge of the Superior Court of the
Ocmulgee Circuit. We shall soon see
his sprightly face and vigorous form
at our February Term in Milledgeville.
We understand Judge Bartlett pas
Besses those mental characteristics,
which may be expected to make him a
popular and efficient officer. We ex
tend, in the name of Baldwin county,
the right hand of fellowship to him.
We met other fortunate aspirants for
Judicial honors—among them our
venerable friend Judge Rice, formerly
of Cobb county, now of Gainesville,
who has heretofore occupied more
than once a position on the Bench of
Georgia. We met also the Hon. W.
M. Sessions who has been succeeded
by Hon, J. L. Harris in the Brunswick
Circuit. From the appoinftnents al
ready developed, one Gubernatorial
rule seems manifest, viz: That no ap-
pointee of the Bullock administration
shall be retained in office. Of this but
few citizens of the better classes of
eqrgia will be found to complain,
Of our Representation in the pres
ent General Assembly Baldwin coun
ty may well feel proud. Capt. Wil
liamson iQ the House has al ready shown
himself to be an efficient and able
Representative, as has Mr. Gilmore,
also in the Senate. We fear his ef
forts may be unavailing to procure the
call of a Constitutional Convention
during the present session. Too many
members are disinclined to unseat
themselves after the toil and expenses
incident to the struggles for their
seats, by calling a Convention which
by changing our Organic Law, shall
remand them to private life, or anoth
er candidacy. It should, however, be
done at once, and with real patriotism.
We bave no doubt that the Legisla
tive Session of 1874 will call a Con
stitutional Convention if not sooner
done; and we believe that the chances
are very greatly in favor of a return
of the Capital to Milledgeville. No
better argument could be made against
Atlanta than the disagreableness and
unhealthiness of this city just now,
enhanced by the unfitness of the
“Opera House” from its very con
struction, to the purposes for which
it is now employed.
As your readers are aware, the ma
jority of its members are new men;
we add, also, earnest and intelligent
men with the good of Georgia sin
cerely at heart. Among them we have
met some old and cherished friends.—
Old in friendship and yet young in
years the Senator and the Representa
tive from Camden. Senator A mow
of Camden has been a prominent mem
ber of the Florida Legislature, and is
a young statesman of enlarged and
progressive views. Representative
Tompkins is an admirable young gen
tleman, (unmarried—look out girls!) of
high promise as a Legislator. Among
the tried and efficient members of the
last few trying*years, we had the great
pleasure of meeting Hon. R. W.
Phillips of Echols, who stood pure
and firm amid the corruption of Bul
lock’s Administration, the patriotic
devotee to the right, the Christian
gentleman and the enlightened Legis
lator. We witness here, also, some
worthy instances of promotion. Messrs.
Woflord of Bartow, and Cain of Jef
ferson, members of the House last
year, are now seated worthily in the
Senate. In the House of Represen
tatives one is continually impressed
with the ease and grace with which
Speaker Bacon presides over the de
liberations of that body; and the no
ble form, unequaled voice and tact of
our esteemed fellow citizen Carrington
as Chief Clerk, show the right man
in the right place.
The mule, horse, hog and coal trade
of this city seem extremely active.
We take pleasure in informing our
little friends who may chance to visit
Atlanta, that G. W. Jack at his cele
brated candy manufactory on White
hall street has excellent candies at only
BOillN AND ZACK.
The ESiUr mf “The Capital * Pi#pn«r« ta

atar Chaaailer.
We learn that for some days past
the great war senator has been on the
war path, going about with a big
stick and a bad breath in places where
we are never found, threatening to
cudgel us within an inch of our edito
rial existence. We are sorry that the
war senator does this- It tends to in
jure our character. He ought to know
that we do not frequent sample-rooms
'or hang about hotels. We go to
ebureb, we do, and our only relaxa
tion is in a little moral game now and
then of bowling under the auspices of
the Young Men’s Christian associa
tion. We have made so many ten
strikes on these muscular Christians
that there is a suspicion out we have
found the groove in the alley. Of
course the irate senator cannot be ex
pected to search for us in these holy
places, and so we hasten to say that
we can be found in our office, No 927
D street, every, day, Sundays, high
days, and holidays excepted, between
the hours of 12 noon and 5 p. m., when
we will be happy to fight or drink, as
the senator may choose.
N. B. To facilitate business it will
be well to bear in mind the following
rules that visitors will find placarded
on our editorial doors :
We kill senators on Monday.
Tuesday is devoted to Bladensburg
and the diplomatic corps—or corpse.
Wednesday we fight members of

Thursday is devoted to miscellane

the last day of his Executive life, and
once more he determined to be even
with the owner of four Santo Domin
go donkeys, by pardoning the worst
criminal in the State. He selected
Mary Ridey as his favorite; and as
his last official act pardoned this mur
deress, who was convicted of the
crime of killing Joseph Sides, and who
pleaded guilty to the murder in the
second degree for killing Isaac Sides
Mary Ridey was the keeper of a bag
nio in the upper part of the city. She
lived apart from her husband, who was
a dram-shop keeper. On the occa
sion of the double murder she armed
herself with a dagger and went to the
dram-shop of her husband with the
intention of killing him. The two
quarters at our favorite Boarding ,

where it “debouches” into Peachtre.fl , of whom she stabbed in the back and

shortly after. Mary was sentenced to
eighteen years and six months to serve.

Sickness la Macon.
It is no use denying the fact that
Macon has more sickness in her
midst at this time than at any time
within the recollection of her oldest
citizens. The prevalance of contagious
diseases is not so great, but the severe-
ty of the winter has occasioned colds
aud coughs, pneumonia and other sick
ness produced by bad weather, to
such an extent as to keep our large
corps of physicians constantly on the
run and apothecary shops to do an im
mense business. It is a rare occurrence
to meet a friend who ia not armed
with a bottle of cough medicine or a
supply of extra handkerchiefs. The
meningitis and pneumonia bave caused
more deaths than any other sickness
recently.
We are glad that spring n so near,
as a healthful spring generally follows
a severe winter, and then we hope to
have a cessation of siekness. We do
not know anything of the mortuary re
port for January, but presume the
number of deaths by far exceeds that
of any previous month for many yean.

Notes of Alarm.
The facility with which men can
buy seats in the United States Sanate
under Radical rule, is beginning to ex
cite the alarm of the organs of that
party. Even the New York Timeeand
the Washington Repubilcan are sound
ing notes of alarm. The latter says
in its issue of January 20;
“It is high time that the demorali
zation and corruption which seem to
have set in should come to an end. As
the New York Times said the day be
fore yesterday, the Senate of the Uni
ted Status is “degenerating,” and men
are creeping into it as mere agents
and servants of corrupt and selfish cor
porations, whose only object is to rob
and plunder the people. The great
duty before the country and before
the Republican party is to drive
these unscrupulous men out, and pun
ish them as they should be punished.
When our Legislatures become as cor
rupt as were the Parliaments of the
English Jameses, when men are bought
and sold day after day, it is time to
sink party names and party fealty and
unite for the common good. The
thieves and plunderers must be lashed
out of the Capitol, and made to under
stand that they cannot shield them
selves under the cry of either Repub
licanism or of Democracy. That is the
great duty of the hour; let the blow
fall where it may.
A ('olort'tl CssirnHsas the Rampage.
On Wednesday evening a number
of southern members of the Senate and
House met in the marble room of
of the Senate for the purpose of joining
in the demand for a southern Repre
sentative in the Cabinet. They final
ly agreed upon Senator Pool, of'North
Carolina, and appointed a committee
of three, Messrs. Alcorn, of Mississippi,
Maynard, of Tennessee, and Elliott, of
South Carolina, to prepare an address
embodying the views of those assem
bled, and submit to the President.
When the Chair (Senator Sawyer, of
Soath Carolina,) named the committee,
Mr. Elliott (a colored Congressman
from South Carolina, an intelligent,
bold, aggressive, vindictive, man, w*ho
has all the features of an African
and is very black,) rose and with some
show of feeling in the matter positive
ly refused to serve on the committee
He saw that a reason was expected, and
he gave it. He said that the relations
between himself and the Executive
were such as to prevent communica
tion between them except id cases of
absolute necessity. He warmed into
the subject of personal opposition to
the President until he could not eon
ceal his bitterness. The effect upon
his audience was to create a feeling of
general disgust. The Chair quickly
substituted Mr. Rainey, another color
ed Congressman from South Carolina
a man who is universally respected
and the meeting was adjourned after
a motion had been passed adding Sen
ator Sawyer to the Committee.
Why Endnre What is Curable?
“What can’t be cured must be endured,” says
the proverb; but indigestion can be cured, and
therefore it is the merest stupidity te endure it
Dyspeptics bave certainly a right to continoe dys'
peptics to th. end of their days if they choose, but
■e it is not supposed that any rational being pre
fers physical torment to ease and health, the prob
ability is that if all sufferers from indigestion were
convinced tbat an absolute, infallible remedy for
their complaint existed, tbey would with one ac
cord resort to it. We most emphatically declare
that snch a remedy does exist, and that its name
is Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters The record of its
success extends over a period of more than twenty
years, and it is fearlessly alleged that daring the
whole of that time it has never failed to afford per
manent relief in aDy disorder or derangement of
the stomach that was not organic, malignant, and
incurable. The testimonials that go to establish
this important fact can be counted by the thou

vated by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and
intensified and rendered cbrenic by medicinal
treatment or drastic purgation, bave in hundreds
of instances been cured within three months by
the systematic use of this celebrated stomachic
and alterative. It should bo remembered that
weakness of the digestive organs involves many
other ailments. Biliousness, headache, nervous
debility, spasms, palpatation of the heart, rush of
blood to the head, nausea, vertigo, and sleepless

Mortgaged Senators.
The developments of the past two
weeks have satisfied the country that
many Senators and Representatives in
Congress take their seats under heavy
mortgages. Here was Harlan under
a $10,000 mortgage to Durant; Thay
er of Nevada had a mortgage on when
he entered the Senate; Sargent of Cal
ifornia is believed to be mortgaged,
and several others. Some of these have
served their terms, paid off their obli
gations with votes, and gone out; and
others are still in Congress, and many
are in doubt. What Congress should
do, the New York Snn thinks, is to ap
point a standing committee of each
house to examine the titles of all the
members taking their seats. It would
be possible then to know what these
men belonged to and what to expect
of them, and if there are any unencum
bered, let them be put in a list by
themselves.
The particulars of the terrible dis
tress which was experienced by the
people of Minnesota during the late
storm that swept over the State show
that the event was attended with even
more freightful horrors than were at
first foreshadowed. The loss of a sin
gle life is of too frequent occurrence
in the long roll of disasters to attract
special attention, and only when whole
families or even whole communities
meet their death has the terrible story
been told. A party of eight persons
and a team of liorsis were found on a
wagon road, all frozen to death. The
horses were still standing up and the
driver was frozen to his seat. The
other seven persons were found in
the bottom of the sleigh covered with
blankets and frozen stiff in death. A
young man who went to Canada a
month ago to get married met his
death while on the way home with his
bride. They started for their home
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and
nothing was seen of them until the
next day, when the dead bodies of the
young man and his wife were found in
the road. A man was discovered be
neath the snow whose experience had
been of a frightful character. Desir
ing to form an air-chamber beneath
the snow after finding that he coaid
not escape being buried in it, he kept
bis body in a constant state of motion
and prevented the snow from packing
closely around him. In his endeavor
to free himself from this chamber, after
being discovered, he tore the hair al
most entirely from his scalp.
Poor Curlotta is dead ! Her’s has
been a sad and eventful career. The
daughter of a king, the wife of an
archduke, and then Empress of Mex
ico, it seemed as if her life would be
a series of brilliant triumphs. But
misfortunes came and she went mad.
Her husband lies in a bloody grave,
and she will soon lie beside him, hap
pier, we trust, in death, than she had
been for several years, in life.

During tbe year JS73, do expense of lime, labor,
and money will be spent to keep the Morning Newt
ahead of all competitors iu Qeoigia journalism, and to
deserve the flatter.ng encomiums heaped upon it Irom
all quarters. There has, as yet, been no serious at
tempt made to rival tlie special telegrams which the
News inaugurated some years ago, and the conse
quence is, that the reader iu search of the latest in
telligeuue always looks to the Morning News. "I he
telegraphic arrangements of : lie paper are such that
the omissions made by the general press reports are
promptly aud reliably supplied by its special corres
pondents.
The Morning News has lately been enlarged to n
thirty-six column paper, and this broad scope of type
embraces, daily, everything of interest that trans
pires iu the domain of Literature, Art, Science, Poli
tics, Religion and Generul Intelligence, giving to the
reader more and better digested mutter than any other
paper iu the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the politics of the
Morning News. For years and years—indeed, since
its establishment—it lias been a representative South
ern paper, and from that time to the present, in all
conjunctures, it has consistently and persistently main
tained Democratic States Rights principles, and labor
ed with an ardor and devotion that know no abate
ment, to promote and preserve tbe interests aud honor
of the South.
The special features of the Morning News will be
retained and improved upon during the ensuing year,
and several new attractions will be added.
The Georgia news items, with their quaint and pleas
ant humor, aud the epitome of Florida affairs, will be
continued during tbe year The local department will
be, as it has been for tbe past year, the most complete
and reliable to be found in any Savannah paper, and
the commercial columns will be full and accurate.

strictly followed and carried out. in « great man

whole families have been cured by hoi tie
with a peifect restoration of the gen< ral le a li. p Y
however, prudent, and in every car, more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been theck- d, more es

this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the h o/,

quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
four doses of the tonic, a single dose of Hull's r e

Read tlie following extract of a letter from Mrs.
Rivers, wile of Reverend Dr. Rivers, one of the most
learned, eloquent and popular Ministers of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, and who is at present stationed
at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Kv., Oct. 8,18(1?.
Or. John Bull—Dear Sir: VI any thank* to you
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. 1 have
beep a great suffeier for years, au’j had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my spine, Pome
uny lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped unt:(
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who examined iny spine informed me, that
[ was threatened with paralysisorappoplexy any day
and that nothing but a setou would relieve me. I had
a perfect horror of that, und was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length of time, and
on rising to ray feet I would be perlectly blind tor
several minutes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
1 am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I sutfi-r but seldom with my
spine andlben not so acutely. My appetite is good;
indeed for the first time iu my life I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal daring the day.
Yon kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and I hope to he en
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks and
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, aii of
which I guarantee te be genuine and written by the
pereocs whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Dou’t be
drawn away after new and doubtful experiments.
Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has stood
the test for twenty-five years ; it is still the Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others iu
popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those
who are tiring to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. Jehu
Boll’* Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the old
and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood aud
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficacy
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing nnd beneficial
qualities it possesses, I seud you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounde-1 about two years ago, was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen mouths. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not set np a moment since 1 was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to ass.st nature; I have
more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I
wish that which is genuine Please express me half a
dozen bottles, and oblige.

P. S.—The following was writti n April 301h, 1806
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson:
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was s skillful surgeon and physician iu Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age ho
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, lor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sines, and general del iii-
V. Perfect success has attended it. The cures ef
fected in some rases of scrofula and ferrr sores were
almost miraculous, t am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to yotir Sarsaparilla. He is
fearful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing
to you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believa
he will recover.
