Farewell Address.
TO THE PUBLIC.
On the first of January, 1869, the
Augusta Daily Press will be re
sumed, and its publication continued
thereafter as an Independent News,
Commercial and Agricultural Journal.
The Daily Press will bo published
by Col. C. 11. llani.eitek, a gentle
man whose name is familiar to the
people of the State, as the editor and
proprietor of the /Southern Miscel
lany and .National American, at At
lanta, from 1842 to 1861, ami whose
superiority as a newspaper manager
is- recognized by the profession
throughout the entire South.
The Local and Commercial depart
ment, which will be a speciality of the
paper, will be under the general super
vision of Mr. John M. Weigle, a
Southron by birth and education, and
who has been personally known froih
childhood to all our people, as a steady,
upright, intelligent and honorable
member of the community.
Die Daily Press will not champion
any politician or political organization -
It will independent in its comments
on current
right to emnmend“that which is com
mendable, and to rebuke, in dignified
language, that which may be detrimen
tal to the public interests. To con
tribute to the restoration of the old
fashioned prosperity of Georgia, and
the happiness of its people, and to
publish the best and cheapest newspa
ver in the State, will be the highest
ambition oi all connected with it. I
only ask that the paper shall be .judged
by its merits.
The Augusta Weekly Press—
containing all the News, Market Re
ports, Editorials, and other interesting
matter of the Daily Press—will be
issued on Saturday, the 2«l of Jan
uary, 1800, and continued res«A<riy
every S®m«/ay morning thereafter.
Terms: Daily, one year, Five Dol

Tennessee Politic!
Tennessee has a peculiar Constitu
tion, a peculiar Governor, peculiar
laws, and peculiar means of enforcing
those laws. The bold but eccentric
Brownlow has, since 1865, exercised
all the attributes of sovereignty with
a royal hand. A correspondent of
the New York Times enumerates
some of the powers exercised by his
Excellency:
I'rue Republicans, not Radicals, feel that
Uie Northern Republican journals arc doing
themselves and party great injustice by sane
tioning and sustaining the policy of tin*
“ Brownlow Goveminent.” No single prin
ciple of Republicanism is regarded by this
faction, though they plume themselves upon
their Radicalism and moral ideas. They
have not only disfranchised two-thirds of
the white population, possessing three-fourths
of the intelligence, refinement and wealth of
the State; but they liave also diaqualified
them from holding any office of profit or
trust, or even from sitting as jurors, and
conferring these privileges upon their former
slaves, who by law are exempt from paying
even so much as h poll-tax. This class, who
pay at least three-fourths of the taxes, lias
not a single vote or word in deciding what
use shall be made of a single dollar of the
vast revenue annually collected from them.
Even the municipal governments of the
large cities are controlled by men who arc
hardly freeholders, and, but for the offices
they hold, would not be residents even of the
cities that they now govern.
Ten newspapers, ’with an aggregate circu
lation of less than tan thousand, arc designa
ted by tlie Government to do all the public
printing. 'Hirco fourths of the Judges,
Chaiiccllors, ami District Attorneys, are the
appointees of Uw Governor, though by the
Constitution they are elective. Every countv
in tlie State lias in it an officer styled Coni
inissioner of Registration, who’ says who
shall and who shall not vote, and from his
judgment there is no appeal. How loyal
they are to the Governor and his clique may
be inferred from the fact that, With a popula
tion of 1.2(10,000. Tennessee polled less than
80,000 vote in the late election. But if by
chance or otherwise— say by honesty in the
Commissioner—a county’ polls a strong con
servative majority, the Governor declares the
registration void, deposes the old Conimis
rionei-, appoints a new one more faith fill, and,
pnwlo' Ix-holil a loyal county giving large
majorities for Brownlow ami hi* favorite*.*—
All this is done In the name of and for tlie
mluv of ItqniblicaniNii, uud the party i» re
sponsible tor it. unlcaa they repudiate and
condemn Midi injustice and nrrogance.
Gov. Brownlow, tie > ugh unable to sit up
orcven raise biimelf off nb lied, l« still the
life an soul of his party.
(In the Illi ot March next, Brown-
Low will take a seat fts United Slates
Senator in place of Senator I‘attkr
mon, the President's son-in-law. De-
Wi i i Sentei:,Speaker of the State
Senate, succeeds Brownlow as Gov
ernor. It is thought he will not act
as arbitrarily as his predecessor, ami
that under his administration, aided
by Johnson's influence, who returns
to Tennessee, the franchise may be so
altered as to allow the great mass of
the lax-payers, now denied any voice
in the Stale Government, a tote. The
Gubernatorial and Legislative election
comes off in August.

Is Senator Chandler a Drunkard ?
'Phis question is being actively agi.
tilted by the Republicans of Washing’
ton, with a view of electing some other
member of that party to the Senate.
Senator Harlan reconciles it to his
conscience to write the following de
fence of the Senator:
United States Senate Cilvmiieii, i
Washington, December 17, 1868. j
Dear Sin: In casually looking over the
newspapers received at my desk, 1 notice an
occasional article remonstrating against the
re-election of the Hon. Z. Chandler to a seat
in the United Slates Senate on the allegation
that he is a drunkard. 11 is not my province
to intermeddle in a controversy inn State tn
which Ido not reside. But as I have served
with Mr. Chandler in the Senate for nearly
twelve years, sitting by his side, at an ad
joining desk, during the greater part of that
period, it seems to .me but u simple act of
justice, due from one friend to another, tliat
I should say that at no time could the charge
of drunkenness have been truthfully applied
to him ; and that, during the latter part of
his Senatorial service, he lias abstained en
tirely from the use of intoxicating drinks as
a beverage.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
.Jas. Harlan.
To the lion. W. M. McConnell, Pontiac,
Michigan.
Senator Chandler may be sus
ceptible to the charge of drunkenness,
but there is one thing certain —he has
the capacity of carrying what would
lay many of his colleagues in the
gutter.

Hard on Carpet Baggers.
The Cincinnati Gazette is responsi
ble for the editorial statement that
Gen. Grant stated, while en route
from Chicago to Washington, that “he
feared the carpet-baggers wduld swamp
the Government before he could take
possession of the White House.” He
further declared that he was not in
fttx'or “of directly or indirectly in
ereasing the public debt while there is
a party in the country that talks about
repudiation. Furthermore, it is ab
solutely necessary that we should hare
the strictest honesty in the collection
of the revenue, and the strictest econo
my in all expenditures'' We sincerely
hope that the General will remember
these pledges when be becomes I’resi
dent.

The Great Railroad of Alabama-
We have tjlready mentioned the
consolidation of several railroad lines
in Alabama under the style of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.
A letter writer says of the importance
of this grand enterprise :
The Alabama and Cluittanooga Railroad
will pass through the richest portion of the
American owmiwiit —a district that, in tin
i fortuity of the soil, the U| e c ' l_
mate, the ;<»«„ens/ty of its mineral resources,
mid its wonderful jiower, has few rivals and
no superior. It passes through a magnificent
grain and cattle-growing region, and then
through the heart of one of the finest bodies
of cotton lands in the world. In the north
ern portions of the country through which
the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad passes
there are inexhaustible supplies of iron and
coal. The iron is, in some cases, of such rare
excellence that horse shoes are sometimes
made directly from the orc by country black
smiths. Mr. Thomas, a very wealthy iron
master from Pennsylvania, lias invested three
hundred thousand dollars in iron and coal
lands in the vicinity of. Elyton. The Ala
bama and Chattanooga Railroad Company
owns 256,000 acres of the finest lands in the
world, that lie along the line of the road.
These will lie thrown open to immigration
upon the most favorable terms. Elyton,
w hich is upon the line of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad, is yet but a small
place; it is, however, destined to be the
most important railroad centre in the State of
Alabama. In a very healthy and productive
district, it has a most favorable geographical
position, and is almost certain to be sometime
tlie capital of the State. This, with the fa
cilities that it enjoys for manufacturing
cheaply, insures its future Importance.
Nearly every, member of tliis Direc
tory arc New- England capitalists, mid
the fact tha*they have invested such
large amounts in cash in this gigantic
enterprise, is strongly suggestive that
the most sagacious men of the North
have confidence in an improvement of
the condition of public affairs in the
South, and that they place little re
liance in the reports of organized op
position to the Government. North
Georgia is deeply interested in this
road, as the road runs through Tren
ton, Dade county, near which there
are inexhaustible beds of coal and
iron.

invented a clock that runs by elec
tricity, and never require* winding.
It has only three w heels, no weights
or springs, and it is claimed that it
has little friction, is not affected by
heat, cold, dampness or jarring. A
single clock and battery can be con
nected with any number of dials and
indicators, in the same building, or
even along the whole line of a rail
way.

Our Wuhingtoa Letter.
Wa’llingion,' Dec. 26, 1868.
Yenterilay, ChristmM <lay, was dull
even for Washington, where there
exists more monotony between the
aeaeions of Congress than in any other
American city having so large a resi
dent population. ' Business was very
generally snapendoi!; the churches
were open, but the bulk of the people
seemed to have al their usual
haunts, or lapsed injo a state of utter
listlessness and indifference
to the ancient man ner of observing the
occasion. A few 4‘ttled people at
tended church, the greets were almost
deserted, and the iisnal public resorts
were si iinly attende®—Willard’s hotel,
in this instance, not peing an exception
to the prevailing dimness.
The Txmisiana Congressional mud
dle will probably lie unravelled at an
early day. The circumstances arc
very peculiar, and therefore very in
teresting. Mailn, # Democrat, and
Johns, Republican, were in the field
for The certificate of elec
tion was given to Mann. Within the
ten days required by law, Johns
served the required legal notice of his
intention to contest his claim to the
seat in Congress. Mann, it is alleged,
trumped up some charge against his
opponent, which required Johns’ de
tention for several weeks in Louis
iana, and hurries to Washington; no
contestant being present, lie is admit
ted as a member of Congress. Johns
arrived here the last day of the ses
sion, and his papers were referred;
but it was too late then t*> do any
thing at that session. During the re
cess Mann dies, and Johns is here now
claiming the seat as of right, having
received a majority of the legal votes.
Menard, a colored man and a Republi
can, believing a vacancy existed, at
the recent election was a candidate.
There was no opposition, and he is
now here claiming the seat on the
ground that there existed a vacancy.
The first question to be determined
is, was there a vacancy made by the
death of Mann ? If it turns out that
the contestant was entitled to tlie
scat, then there is no vacancy. If
this claim is not sustained, then Con
gress may cither declare the seat
vacant and order a new 7 election to be
held, or admit Menard. It is under
stood that the Committee having the
matter in charge will decide Johns to
1)0 entitled to the scat, and that there
is no vacancy. There is no contest
between the two contestants for the
position. It is simply a question of
law. Mr. Johns is a native of the
State of Louisiana, is a lawyer by pro
fession, and was before the war a man
of considerable wealth. At the initia
tion of the rebellion, he came into the
Uriion lines, and at a later period
coiuDuuided a regiment of colored
troops. Menard is also an able man,
and his copper complexion would be
no bar to his taking a seat in Con
gress, provided there was a vacancy.
As it is, bo will probably be com
pelled to wait awhile.
A well-known Southern railroad
man has discovered an alarming
mare’s nest. Visiting the North and
West recently, he discovered that the
American railway system would neces
sary make Chicago the great railroad
centre of the country, to tlfb serious
disadvantage of nearly all the South
ern, but more particularly the cotton
States. All of the great railway arte
ries in progress, or contemplated—
the three routes across the Continent,
the route to tap Mexico on Montew 7 .
with all the t-^uunes —-will be
Lihuiary to Chicago, and from this
point freight and passengers will be
distributed through Northern cities
and ports —thus excluding the South
almost entirely from the benefits to be
derived from either of these main
channels of commerce.
The unsettled condition of affairs at
the South, and the superior enterprise
of Northern men, are what will bring
about this result. People interested
in the-future of Chicago are lavish
with their means, and of course what
money can do will be done. The
Chicagoians arc the most enterprising
people in the world; there is no ex
ception—no parallel in this or any
other country. The obstacles they
have heretofore overcome, together
with an advantage of location, ena
bles them to command all the capital
required for any enterprize they may
undertake. The Southern people to
day should take steps to secure a
portion of the great internal and
inter-oceanic traffic which will inevi
tably follow the completion of our
great national railway system, before
the current is all turned in one direc
tion. An early effort in this direction
will secure a portion of the benefits
the South is naturally entitled to. A
little time hence it will be “too late.”
1 merely throw out these hints, hop
ing to arouse attention to the subject.
Capitalists stand ready to use their
money to build up the South. It will
be a crime to drive their capital away
by longer making the South a smoul
dering hell for Union men.
Caleb Cushing has been heard from.
He was last seen on the Isthmus of
Darien where he took a steamer for
Bogota. It is now stated that his
mission is to look after the proposed
Canal to connect the two oceans, and
discover a continent. As we are in
the land business, why would it not
be well to purchase the whole Isth
mus of Darien, government and all ?
The place is certainly worth as much
as Alaska, and doubtless could Ire had
at a less price.

gress from the Raleigh (N. C.) District,
