If it Must lie ao. Good Bjc.
We liavc prcrimisly made the an
nouncement lliat tlic Ai.baht News
wnnlil be sent to no one during the
year 187a until it was paid for. We
know onr readers could not hare mis
taken onr meaning; so alter this is
sue we proceed to strike the names
of delinquents. Among these arc
Ncrersl whose credit stands high in
commercial record; and if they were
due us *100 instead of >2.00 we w.onld
ex|>erience no) difficulty in making
close collections.
Hundreds of dollars now stand on
our books uncollected, simply be
cause the amounts due are not of
sufficient importance to demand the
attention of the debtor; aud thus it
is that we become the loser.
Xn reasonable man will become
offended at onr adoption of the cash
system. If he wants the paper at all
he surely will not hesitate to pay for
it when reminded that hi* tin
out.
To the large number of our friends
who Imre so heartily responded to onr
appeal we bow with gratitude; and
promise them our utmost efforts to
please them during the year; to
those who are waiting for “a few
days” we say onr patience is not quite
exhausted, and the latch string of the
sanctum door hangs on the outside.
From those who will not now pay,
we hope an early respouse. We have
enjoyed with them many weekly com
munications which we hope will prove
beneficial to them infriture. We have
labored earnestly with onr heads ami
hands to please them; and it will
pain ns no little to say to them tioon-

Tlie large number of subscriptions J

all those who do not pay, before next

Pension^BUIa. -
A bill has passed both houses of
Congress and is now a law, granting
pensions to the survivors Of the war
of 1812. There are-now two bills
pending to pension the surviving vet-
' erans of the Indian ward t>n836, as
well also of the Mexican war. .Every
effort has been made to bring, these
two last bills before the Hotue, bnt
they have been time and again post
poned by the tactics of the Republican
leaders. The troth is, the latter bills
will benefit Southern men, and South
ern men exclusively.
Governor Hampton Is said: to be
rapidly recovering. The amputa
tion of his leg was a terrible blow,
and for sometime his friends enter
tained serious fears and doubts con
cerning bis recovery. He is United
States Senator elect, and will prove a
power in that branch of Congress.
His influence will be f«& ^orth.
South, EastandWest.
Senator Hill told a Reporter of the
Baltimore Gazette that he considered
the report of the N. E. B. Ik-Bond
Investigation Committee calculated
to disgrace Georgia and the Democ
racy. He also expressed very great
friendship for the Governor, but be
lieved he was weak enough to be
lead astray,—hence the report we
published to-day from the Atlanta
Constitution.
Sound Sense.
As sound and pure unadulterated
sense as we have seen expressed in
Mime lime is contained in the follow
ing. It is full of pithy and has' the
strength of thorough logic. WV take
it from the SC Louis Pott:
A cliatige in our National Govern
mentis imperatively needed. Equally
necessary is s clmuge of principles
and practices in Washington. Real
prosperity will never come until the
people hnve restored real, popular
self-government. Ileal Republican
ism is dead. Crautisin completely
rules the Republican party. Grant-
ism means an end to the Republic.—
Giantism, therefore, must not be re
stored, but rooted out. The Govern
ment must once more belong to the
people, and not the people to, the
Government. The 1’rcsidentof this
Republic must again be elected by
the people and not by the four con
victed jail-birds called a Returning
Hoard. Political frauds ami crimes
must I Mr punished, not honored, as af
present. The will of tl»e people (past
lie again the only source—the pros,
(M-rity of Hie people the only object
of all political |M>wer. The large ma
jority must rule, and not the small
minority of the nation. The Consti
tution must be observed, not violated.
The right of the American people to
govern themselves must be re-estab
lished and regarded as sacred. The
return to those principles of true De
mocracy upon which onr country,
our government, our liberties and
our prosperity were founded can
aionwgivc us what we need—regen
eration ami reform, peace, prosperity
and patriotism. A change, thcrelore,
in the national government is de
manded by honor and honesty, jus
tice and liliertv, self-government and
the preservation of the RepubHe.
New Year Remark*.
A happy new year totlie patrons <d
the At.naxr News.
Thi* makestlwthirty-fourth amnia!
how this paper has made to tin- citi-
x.’iis of Southwest Georgia, it began
existence on the Dili day of April,
IS 15. under the innnagcmciil of
Messrs. Tifl A Houghton, and through
these long, years, through their
ehanges and vieisitmles it lias con
tinued to labor for the building up of
ii* section. In 18li7 its name was
changed, from llte “Albany Patriot”
to the “AlbanT News.” to meet the
demand of that day and time.
The News still ha« subscrilters who
were its subscribers in 1815. and linvc
steadily rontlnncil to lie ever since;
aud we arc giail to say that notwith
standing onr adoption of the raali
prepayment system we arc to take
them through the voyage of 70.
It ianeedless for us to say to our
reader* that the News has not weak
ened by its long years of toil. Our
pasaage through war. panics, bayo
net rule and general adversity lias so
strengthened anil experienced our
steps that we leap into the thirty
fourth year with no misgivings as to
niir continued success. The pioneer
journal of the earlier days of ibis
section will hardly abate this uscliil
ness though the progressive present
qml future. It has more lofty ol
jocta to attain as time passes. Its own
little oily which was a mere lianilct
when the first issue was scattered
forth has a bright future before it.
Already a railroad city of great im
portance and witli a promise of still
greater facilities. Albany is attract
ingthe attention of those at a distance
who have means for investment and
building up. The productive soil
surrounding us. our splendid climate,
valuable water power and timbered
lands must make this a country of
wealth and political power second to
! none on the continent. Our popula
tion is increasing and must continue
to increase until Albany becomes the
gate city oi Southwest Georgia.
When Albany reaches the pinaele
if her importance as a great city both
the writer and reader of these lines
may be laid low by the sickle of Time,
but the Albany News will still
stand upon the watch-tower as a sen
tinel of progress, nourishing enter
prise and advancing every worthy'
interest for the good of Albany and
this section.
But we are digressing. We in
tended to offer our congratulations
to the readers of the News upon hav
ing reached the new year of 1879, the
great event of money revolution when
tiie edict* of a National administra
tion for the transformation of paper
dollars into glittering gold dollars
goes into effect; and lie who says
that a greenback is not gold is de
clared “one of the disloyal.”
The old dying year has been good
to us. Bountiful harvests have been
reaped by the industrious sons of the
soil; and the whole country should
how in humble thanksgiving to Him
who sends rain and 'sunshine In bless
His people. Our people are conipar
atively out of debt. Many of them
have sufficient supplies for twelve
months, and with close economy mid
vigorous enterprise, continued pros
perity is assurcil them.
At Par.
Yesterday, the first of the New
Year, was a day of jubilee with the
bondholders mid their followers, who
for so long a time have been, crying
for a contraction of currency.
For some days gold lias been sell
uig at par in New York, lint not un
til yesterday did the net of Congress
go into actual aud ]iositive effect,
which forces gold resumption. The
bondholders who paid greenbacks for
their bands, when greenbacks were
worth only about sixty cents on the
dollar, arc, by their cunning play up
on the weak-kneed law-makers, to
receive gold in payment, where only
rreenbncks were promised. The toil-
iiif masses who are the tax-payers are
io hear the burden.
This condition of monetary affairs
luisbecn brought about by a gradual
but weighty process of pressure upon
the people. Greenbacks were con
tracted ami gold hoarded, until mon
ey became scarcer and scarcer, and
die people were panic-stricken and
without relief. The rich have Intel
made richer, and the poor poorer.
We believe, however, that the •
sis will jmss with the present year,
and that prosperity amt plenty, will
soon again dawn upon us.
On account of the reduction of one
hundred and ton thousand dollars in
tlie appropriation for tlic railway
mail service, ills estimated one hun
dred anil forty discharges will lie
made among the railway post-office
elerks, route- Agents. These dls-
cliagcs hnve begun to Iwt made. The
work of reducing tlie force l>y dis
missal all over the country 'will rou-
tinne nntil the number of discharges
Is gradually swelled to tlic required
one hundred and forty. Tlie reduc
tion in tlic pay of seventy employes
was made to-day for the same rea
son.
Mr- Nordlioff telegraphs to the New
York llerald that “tlie rc|iorts that
the President is a Grant man are
without foundation. He takes no
part in personal politics and Ini* no
candidate."
Tlie Railroad Hill
We publish on our first page tlie
full text of this hill as introduced by
llou. A. Westbrook in tlie House
of Representatives, near tlie close of
the recent session. Tlie hill wns print
ed liv order of tlie House, ami referr
ed to the committee on Railroads.
Tlie object of this hill is to so con
trol the great power, aud action, of
tlic several Railroad Companies of tlic
State as to do justice to them, anil at
tlie same time require that they should
ilo equal and impartial justice to every
it iron who shall require their ser
vices as common carriers, according
to tlic imperative command of tlie
Constitution of the State.
Tlie bill, so far as we can judge, af
ter n careful examination, scons to lie
perfect for tlic accomplishment of its
object. Its leading features may be
summarised as follows:
1st. AT State Commissioner of Rail
roads is to be nominated by tlic Gov
ernor and confirmed by the Senate,
for tlie term of the present Governor;
and thereafter to be elected by the
people at the same time and in the
same manner, and for the same term
as tlie Governor. His salary to lie
>3,001). He is to appoint an Assistant
Railroad Commissioner who shall be
unanimously nominated by the Pres
idents of Railroads in tills State; or
if such nomination is not made, then
lie is to select from the most worthy
and experienced railroad man. Ids as
sistant, whose salnrv will be >2.S00.—
lie is to appoint a secretary witli a
salary of $2,000, and is allowed for
oilier clerical expenses $1000. He is
to have tlie aid of the Attorney Gen
eral and Solicitor General, if needed,
to vindicate and enforce the law.
2d. Tlic State Commissioner of
Railroads shall, within one mouth af
ter being commissioned by tlie Gov
ernor, prepare and prescribe n class!
Oration of freights approximating the
usual classification of railroads—“and
shall fix upon each maximum rates
of freight—1st, from the starting point
of such freight, to any station or half
station not exceeding twelve miles
2d. to any station or half station not
exceeding twenty-four miles: and so
on for every additional twelve miles
or less, to the point of delivery of
such freight at its destination, or to
a connecting railroad; said rates of
freight to be determined and fixed by
said Commissioner as nearly as prac
ticable, according to tlie general av
erngc of charges on such freights on
ail tlie several railroads in tlic State,
mi the first day of cacli of the six
months next preceding tlic passage of
this act for similar distances, inclu
ding local and through freights.
We desire to call special attention
to this extract from the 8th section of
the bill which applies tlic principles
of the common law—i. c. the expe
rience of the’pnst—to find the cquita
Ide maximum of rates, as the law of
tlic future. The same principle is ap
plied in Section,11 to find tlic cquita
>le maximum of through rates be
tween tiie markets of this and other
States.
The maximum rates for Express
Companies is fixed at double tlie rate
barged on tlie railroad on which
they arc carried for first-class freight?
Tlic maximum rate of passenger
ire is five cents per mile.
We rail special attention to sections
11.15,10 and 17, as being very inqior
taut to the protection of citizens. The
lirst prevents discrimination between
cities and between localities. The se
cond, among otlier provisions, re
quires facilities for passing from one
railroad overniiother. The third and
fourth prohibit'- rebatesanil pool rou-
I rncts.
The 18th section provides for au-
ntml reports of the condition of tlie
railroads. The 20tli section provides
for assessing the expense of tlic Com
missioner rotaldy upjii tlic gross in
come of tlie several railroads. 3d.
The 22d section provides for a penal
ly for wilful violation of the law, of
not loss than $100, nor more Ilian $5(KJ0,
and section 23 provides fora Coimnis-
-ioners* court, on tlie principle of Hie
court held by Commissioners of com
mon roads in Georgia, witli power in
the Stale Commissioner of Railroads
lo hear aud determine all cases and
enforce tlic penalty, subject to he ap
pealed to the Supreme Court liv man-
damns.
We have noticed the leading fea
tures of this hill with the hope of di
recting public attention to tlic sub
ject, which we think is very impor
tant for tlie protection of the interests
oi ihc people of Georgia.
This hill we think would secure just
rales of freight to every locality,
whether protected by competition or
not.

Senator Hill and Gov. Colquitt.
The Savannah News, on this sub
ject says: “While we regret tiiat a
Georgia senator should hnve so far
lowered the dignity of his high posi
tion nml outraged decency as to make
himself the originator and retailer of
personal scandal against tlic chief
magistrate of our state, we entertain
no fear that lie will accomplish the
end at which lie aims, which is to
make political capital for himself by
the sacrifice of one whose character
stands far above the reach of Ids re
proach. II is plain tlmt Mr. Hill
seeks to make ids unsuccessful rivalry
witli Mr. Murphy, ns attorney in tlic
Northeastern bond case, a pretext for
creating discord and division in the
democratic parly. To lids end, lie
makes ids ilisingenious attack upon
Governor Golquitt, under pretense
of denouncing Murphy. For this
purpose he puts fortli Ids interview
witli tlie Baltimore Gazette in Ihc
expectation that it will he dissemina
ted Hirougli tlic Georgia press, and
with a certainty that tlie governor’s
position precludes the possibility of
self-defense against such attacks."

in 'quest by a number of papers,
among them tlie Atlanta Constitu
tion and tlie Chicago Tribune.
Col. Mosby, on leaving Washing
ton Thursday night last cn route for
his Chinese consulate, sent a message
to tlie correspondent of tlic Baltimore
Sun that he would return to Wash
ington on tlic fourtli of March, 1881,
to be present at the inauguration of
Gen. Grant as President for a third
term.
General Superintendent Adams, of
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad
has written a note to the Macon Tel
egraph stating that complimentary
tickets for his road issued to Sena
tors, Representatives and officers of
each House of tiie General Assembly
in 1878, will remain in force until the
holders of tlie same return to their
homes from the July sessiou.
The trade outlook for tlic new year
is generally regarded as promising.
The Boston Herald, after studying the
subject, conics to this conclusion:
“It may be said that in general busi
ness men have more confidence in the
prospects for 1879 than they have had
at any time during the past year—or
had in the outlook for 1878 in Decem
ber, 1877.” This undoubtedly Jcx-
prcsscs tlic views of business men
throughout tlic country.
Tlic Soathernor and Appeal says
witli great truth, lliat tlic favorable
comments of tlic leading papers on
Georgia credit, railed forth by the
passage of the Garrard bond bill,
should be a matter of gratification to
every citizen of tlic State. Not a sin
glc unfavorable comment hnve we
seen. Our credit is to-day better
than that of any other southern state,
and as good asnny in the union. Tlic
repudiation of the fraudulent bonds
did not, after ail, ruin us, though
some of those now loudest in our
praise said it would. Strange.
The following is what wc call true
rit. It is taken from Ihe Sander
ville Courier:
“We beard yesterday of a colored
man living a few miles from San-
dersville, who fell sick—bad siek ; in
fact lie had to die. He was advised
to eall in ii doctor. “Oil, no 1” he
gasped, “l’«e out of debt now, mid
wants to stay tint way. I.cin'ine die,
if I’se got to, but lem’me go. free
from dem doctor's hills! Giin’mc
liberty from debt or death! In dcr
midst of liberty we’re in debt—all
death!”
Tlic stringent tramp law passed by
Hie last New Hampshire Legislature
has served admirably its purposes,
the Manchester Mirror reports rid
ding tlie Stntn of wandering foot
pads, making life and property com
paratively secure, and permitting
women and children to go and come
unattended without danger of insult
and injury.
Wc predict Hint a similar law will
have to be passed in Georgia in a lew
years. Tiie boys “out of work” in
Hie North are beginning to turn their
serious attention to tlie South.
Yellow fever is prevailing at Hie is
land of St. Thomas, and we believe
with the Atlanta Constitution that
ft “is a warning to the entire Atlan
tic coast and fortunately comes in
good season. Tlie ports of Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina should
not wait on tlic national government,
(icorgia lins been deprived of the
state hoard of health by tlie action of
tlie legislature, and that should lead
to redoubled efforts on tlic part of
endangered points to prevent tiie dis
ease from gaining a foothold.

reive any part of Murphy’s fee, or wa*
in any manner, directly or indirectly,

Hie Governor’s action in indorsing the
bond* is clearly shown by tlie evi
dence, and Governor Smith, who,
before lie went out of office, declined
to indorse, lint left the mutter to Ids
successor, says in his testimony, “I

Rutherford B. Hayes is favorable
to tlie election of Grant in 1880.
A reporter of tlie Constitu
tion call on tlie Governor and asked
him what he had to say about the
matter.
Tlic Governor replied.I really
must decline to discuss the subject.
When these inticndoes were first
bruited about, I demanded an inves
tigation at the earliest passible mo
ment, into my motives and conduct
The investigation wns then made. It
wns close, searching and Utorongh.
Every charge, every innuendo, every
liint was carefully * run down, and,
notwithstanding ' they were traced
back to one source, they were all
weighed in tiie report Every av
enue of information or suggestion
was explored and hundreds of pnges
of testimony taken. Both tlie major
ity nnd minorty reports, based on
this testimony, have denounced ev
ery rumor or intimation or charge
against me us slanderous and malig
nant These reports, the result of an
official investigation, to which I
promptly appealed, have taken me
out of this discussion. As to the
fight between Mr. Hill and Mr. Mur
phy over the fee, I have nothing to
say in regard to that. In the first
place, I have no authority over Mr.
Murphy. He is the clerk of the
treasurer, and was appointed by the
treasurer who was elected by the
legislature. In the second place, this
contest over tlie fee is in the courts,
and I presume will be setUed there.
Reporter—“I see that there ia con
siderable discussion as to the relation
between Mr. Hill and yourself—he
insisting that he is your friend, and
otlicrs asserting that there is an an
tagonism between you. What is tlie
truth about tiiis ?”
Governor—I answer emphatically
Hint Mr. Hill’s course has not been
that of a friend, but rather of an ac
tive and malevolent enemy. No man
who reads the testimony—who reads
his statements or his letters—
who reads the interview now
before us, witli its infamous in
sinuations, can doubt for an instant
tlie malign passion that have nerved
Mr. Hill in this whole niattor. “No
sir, he is not my friend!”
At tills the Governor stated that lie
dill not earn to go into a discussion
of Mr. Hill’s interview, nnd the re
porter left.

There arc two . requisites that
should not be lost sight of in that
portion of the union known as the
cotton ;belt—one in the cities, the
other in the country. Cities should
aim to establish cotton factories with
a view to export yarn and cloth in
stead of the raw material. To fur
ther this, they should seek from Con
gress such a modification of our tar-
ill’ laws as will facilitate the exporta
tion of manufactured cotton goods.
The country should-grow their own
supplies—not cotton alone—in this
way the money for the feeding of
their households and laborers is kept
at home instead of being sent away.
Our country press, we are glad to
see, are awakening more and more to
die importance to the grow food at
home policy. The Dardnnelle Ar-
kansian remark on thissnbject: “We
believe the low price of cotton will
do tlie country good in the cml. It
will be jllic means of causing onr
Southern farmers to stop and think,
and tlie result will be they will turn
their attention more to such crops as
will enable them to live within them
selves.”
Tlie New York Times contains
long letter from its veracious eorres
poiulent, Howard Carroll, making
serious charges of insufficiency
against Col. Fitzsimons, United States
Marshal of Georgia. Tlic Times
commenting editorially upon its cor
respondent’s communication, says:
There arc indications that the Pres
ident has decided to investigate these
charges. If tlic officials in question
are guilty of half the neglect of duty
and principle charged against them
the sooner they are removed the bet
ter it will he, not only for the Admin
istration, but for the ’ National Trcas-
rv.
We entirely agree with tho Augus
ta Chronicle when it says that Cot
Fitzsiniinons will lie found guilty of
being a democrat, aud that will be
tlic extent of his offending.
