H. S. HAINES,
General Superintendent.
February 1, 1879 5 tf
cv an i spunky on the part of Mr. Hun*
gerford. As follows :
Mr. Brock’s resolution ordering the
Superintendent of ihe Western and At
lantic Railroad to discharge all mem
bers of the Legislature who are now
employed by him on said road was
taken up.
Mr. Coleman offered an amendment,
that the Governor be requested not to
employ any.member ol the Legislature
as counsel or otherwise, in any case.
Mr. B rock declined to accept the
amendment, and proceeded to discuss
his resolution.
Mr. Speer raised the point of order
that this was legislation distinct from
the report of the committee and could
not be entertained.
The President overruled the point,
and said it was for the Senate to de
termine what they would do.
Mr. Brock showed at some length,
the impolicy of such employment of
legislators, as its tendency was to cor
ruption. He did nor, however, charge
corruption o.i any Senator who might
now be so employed.
Senator Smith, of the 6'.h, asked Mr.
Brock if he knew of any legislator em
ployee of the State Road who did not
do his duty as such employee ?
Mr. Brock continued. Grant that
they did do their duly as employees,
and the principle was the same.
Mr. Hungerford offered as a substi
tute, that the Superintendent of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad he not
allowed to employ any son, brother, or
blood relative of any member of the
Legislature. So ihe Secretary of the
Senate and Cletk of the House, aud
the Treasurer be ordered not to pay j
any such persons.
Mr. Speer offered an amendment
which was accepted. It was, in the
effect, that the same authorities be
prevented from employing any one
who has not. been a resident of the
State for five years—had not paid ail
taxes, nor voted for Governor Bullock.
{ Much laughter.]
Mr. Hungerford discussed hi.s reso
lution ; and Mr. Holcombe asked him
how far back he would go to determine
blood relationship? Would he go
back to Adam ? [Laughter.]
his name, pedigree, the why3 and
wherefores, ami all about it, if the Sen
ator would permit him to tell about
his clerk.
There was a volcano beneath the
State Road. Why were the carpet
baggers preferred to native Georgians ?
He would toll. They were not eiti-
izens, aud were not responsible. They
would leave as soon asthe job was fin
ished.
But Biodgett was not responsible for
this. There was a man who sat on
ihe throne and directed ail this. Biod
gett opposed it. but was powerless.
Mr. Hungerford said he would not
have made this resolution and expose if
it had not been for Brock’s resolution;
for he had thought of it, but it had slip
ped his memory.
He wanted the people of Georgia to
know ifHungerlord had been stealing,
and he wanted to know U'any body else
had been stealing.
He never would, however, have rais-
reaehes mature age—that is only one-
half of the original stock is suppied as
far as these women (471,772,) are
concerned.
1 ITRINGB 8TORT.
From the time when Satan first en
tered the terrestrial paradiie and suc
ceeded in seducingour mother Eve to
violate the only 'commandment which
waa enjoined upon her, it seems that
the wily and tubtlc enemy of mankind
haa never since failed to assume any
character or to appear in any garb
which would beat suit his purpose.
The particular of the .story which
we are about to relate show that Luci
fer is ready at all time* to wait atten
dance on all those who invoke his aid
and assistance. About ten days since
in a neighboring town not far from this
city, which, for obvious reasons, we
shall designate by the letter “B.” a
public ball was announced to take
place on a certain night, the anticipa
tion of which set the heads of many of
the young damsels of the town in a
whirl ; in fact, the coining event was
the only topic which was dwelt upon
byi the young people of the place.
Among the several young ladies
ed his voice about the State Road if j w fi° were eager to attend the hop was
this direct personal attack had not been
made upon him.
It is impossible to secure enough
Clerks who understand the English
language. There is not a Clerk in this
Stale but has a father, brother, son or
blood relative in it, and the reason is
that the Secretary’s S500 pay for extra
services depend upon it. He was
afraid to employ competent Clerks.—
He would make a clean sweep if any
sweeping was to be done; would com
promise now with them if they would
expel the carpet-baggers trom the
Road.
the daugter of a couple who kept a
boarding hou*e in “B.” who was di
rectly opposed lo their daughter attend
ing the parly; and, more especially so
with u young man who was a boarder
in lhe family, whom we shall call “J.”
The cause of the aversion lo * J.” by
the parents, as we are informed, was
not that his «haracter and general de
partment were riot far above reproach,
but for some other trilling reasons best
known to the family themselves. Thus
matters stood until ihe night arrived
for the dance heretofore announced,
wMien the mother informed the daugh
ered with her own blood, having her
throat cut with the veritable knife giv
en to her by the party who was her
companion at the ball.
A surgeon was immediately sum
moned, hut no medical skill couhl save
the unfortunate girl, who lingered un
til noon of the following day, when her
poor spirit winged its way from this
unhappy world, hui let us trust to a
l»eller. It appears when the young
woman had sought the privacy of her
room, the terrible words she uttered to
her mother, saying that she would go
to the ball if she went with the Devil,
and being convinced that the real ‘J.’
was not her chaperon on the occatiun,
she was so much impressed with the
belief that the one who personated her
beau was no less a personage than the
Prince of Darkness, that in a Gt of des
peration caused by remorse at her
own conduct towards her parents, she
in a moment of insanity committed the
rash deed which deprived her of life.
The circumstances attending the above-
statement concerning the actual occur
rence of the death by suicide of the
young lady, and her presence at the
ball with a party whom she, among
manv others, supposed was a gentle
man boarder at her mother’s residence
are all strictly true and can be vouch
eefor by the very best of authority.
And the only question which is en
shrouded in mystery is, who w r as it
that assumed the personel of *J V
stripped of ail pretentions - to wisdom
those who had conveyed thtir ideas by
allegation destitute ot reason. In re
establishing the truth ol the faith, ot
right and of history, you have acted
in the interest of the faithful, as well
of those who are instructed as of those
who are not. W e» therefore express
to you our especial gratitude for the
homage you have paid to us by this
book, and we predict a great and hap.
pv success for the fruit of \our labors.
As an augury of that success, and as
a proof of our paternal affection, we
bestow upon you the Apostolic bene
diction.
Given at Rome, at St. Peter’s, the
13thof March, 1870. in the Iwenty-
fourth year of our Pontificate.

Oh ! it was a “ Kilkenny Kal ” fight.

Mr. Hungerford desired Brock’s orig

1 of Saturday, and told if he would stop
his disclosures, they would vote down

poor crippled girl, lo save her sister
from a week’s imprisonment, to which
she had been condemned for some

she had suffered the punishment, and
when brought before the judge, she
was sentenced to three months im
prisonment, which, however, she will

or very particular friend.
He chalenged contradiction ofall hi*
remarks Every body knew, the Sen
ators knew, thi public knew, dial they
were making the Legislative offices a
family machine, (he State Government
a family machine,the. Stale 11 oa l a fam
ily machine, every public office or
gift a family machine. An inside view
of the workings of ihese machines
would cause the public to open their
eyes.
He spoke of the $20,000 that ought
to be paid into ihe Treasury.
It the Senator meant business, lie
would meet him and have the whole
thing shown up.
If he meant child’s play, and to whi
ten a part and blacken a part, he would
find that it was no easy matter lo put
out a few Senators—ali must go to
gether. He intimated fie v» oqld play
Samson on them. If Mr. Brock’s res
olution was passed, he would use ail
his ami his friends’ influeuee with the
Governor to have it defeated. If only
upon this subject. The method of tak
ing this census was different from ail
others in this respect, that it was ta
ken by families.
The census reported in 18G5 a total
of 780,93[ families—196,802 families
living without children, 148,208 with
only one child, 140,572 with two, and
107,342 wilh three children. Here is
almost one-fouith of all the families in
die State in which not a single child
was found ; and in 502,924 families- -
mqiethan three-fbqrths—there was on
an average only a smalt fraction over
one child to each family.
In answer to the inquiry putlo every
this command the daughter replied
that *he would go, and if no one else
would go with her she \\ ould accept
the company of even the devil, should
he offl-r to attend her!
On the evening alluded to, the young
woman arrayed herself for the ball ;
but suddenly remembering that her
boots were not in keeping wilh the
rest of her costume she left the house
for the purpose of procuring the desir
ed articles and was returning to her
residence, when she met as she sup
posed, “J.” the young man \vho was
6o obnoxious to her family. He in
quired if she was not ready to accom
pany him to the ball, to which the la
dy replied that she was all ready with
the exception of changing her boots,
and was then on her way lo the house
for that purpose. “J.” objected lo
her wasting so much time in going
home which could be so pleasantly en
joyed at the party, and intimated that
she could change her boots in the la
dies’ dressing room. After some fur
ther parley between the pair, the girl
consented to his arrangement of the
matter, and both proceeded to the
dance.
Arriving nt the ball the couple par
ticipated in the first on the order of
dances, after which nothing more of
“J.” was seen by the lady till very
near the hour for supper, when the in
grate suddenly tippenred, and after
making some frivolous excuses for his
ungentlemaniy absence, invited the
young woman down to the supper table.
The girl naturally enough took um
brage at the ungallaat conduct of “J.”
and *tated her determination of going
home. ‘J.’ thereupon coaxed and en

FAPA Is INFALLIBILITY-
Pope Pius JX. on Independent Judg
ment.
The following letter is published in
the Monde as having been addressed
by the Pope to one of the most ardent
defenders of the dogma of Infailibili-
To my Dear Son, Prosper Gueran-
ger, of the Benedictine Congrega
tion of France, Abbe de Solesmes:
Dear Son—Health arid Apostolic
benediction. It is a thing very much
to be regretted that there should be
found among Catholics men who, while
glorifying in that name still show them
selves to be completely imbued with
corrupt principles, and adhere to them
with such obstinacy that they no lon
ger know how to submit their under
standing with docility to the Holy See
when it is contrary to their views, ev
en when common assent anti the re
commendations of the Episcopate com
bine to confirm it. They go stiff furth
er, and, making the progress and wel
fare of human society to depend upon
those principle, they endeavor to make
the Church bow to their sentiments ;
regarding themselves as being alone
wise, they do not blush lo give the
name of “Ultramontane Party” to all
of the Catholic family who do not
think as themselves. This madness
reaches such a height that they under
take to reform even the divine consti
tution of the Church, and to adapt it to
the modern forms of civil governments,
in order more readily to lower the au
thority ot the Supreme Chief whom
Christ himself has appointed, and
whose prerogatives they dread. They
are thus to he seen putting forward
most audaciously as indubitable, or at
least as completely free, certain doc
trines many times condemed, again dis
cussing in the same manner as the for
mer defenders of those doctrines his
torical frauds, mutilated passage, cal
umnies directed against Roman Pon
tiffs and sophisms of all kinds. They
once again bring forward these things
without taking any note of the argu
ments by which they have been a hun
dred tunes refuted. Their object is to
agitate men’s minds, and lo excite
those belonging lo their faction and the
ignorant vulgar against the sentiments
commonly professed. Besides the
harm they do by thus casting trouble
among the faithful and reducing to
street discussions thegraxest questions
ihey oblige us to deplore in their con
duct a folly equal to their audacity.
If they believe firmly with other Cath
olics that the Ecumenic: - , 1 Council is
governed by the Holy Spirit, that it is
only by the inspiration of that Spirit
that it defines and appoints what shall
be believed, the thought would never
have entered into their minds that
things nof feyefiled or hurtful to the
Church could be defined there, and
they could not imagine that human ma
noeuvres could arrest the power of the
Holy Spirit, or prevent the definition
of things revealed as useful for the
Church. They quu’.d not have per
suaded themselves that it has been for
bidden to propose in a becoming man
ner, and with the object of bringing
the truth into greater prominence by
discussion, the difficulties the Fathers
wish to raise fo such and such a defini
tion, If they were influenced only by
that motive, they would abstain from
all the tricks by means or which they
are accustomed to obtain votes in pop
ular assemblies, and they would await
quietly and hum.biy the effects which

have rendered a very useful service to
ihe Church by undertaking the refuta
tion of the principal assertions to be
met with in writings published under
their influence; .and in exposing the
spirit of hatred violence and artifice
which pervades them, you have dis
played such completeness and skill,
and produced such an abundance o:

The Worih *1 ihe Smlical Dynasty hTat ntrw
Rules Georgia and her millions.
We have deemed that it would not
lie an uninteresting contribution to the
political history of ibis boasted era of
Radical reconstruction, to furnish a
statement of the pecuniary worth of
the Radical dynasty that now rules
the great Slate of Georgia, her him-
dieds of thousands of citizens, and
tnilitons of wealth.
It has been one of the. cardinal rules
of our civilized republic, that taxation
and representation run together in the
scheme ot government. How far Rad
icalism conforms to the canons of ad
vanced civilization, we can now see.
The lax digests of 1309 show sorno
very instructive facts. The summary
we give may not be minutely accurate,
but is a close approximation.
We include in the dynasty the Ex
ecutive and his State House, Stale
Road and Legislative supporters.—
These about constitute our rulers and
law’ makers.
His Excellency, R. B. Bullock, who
draws thousands of dollars on the
lional Bank, returns no property,
is a defaulter for his poll tax lor IS69.
Captain-Superintemlent-Senator Fos
ter Blodgett returns no property in
Fulton or Richmond counties, and is
likewise a defaulter, according to the
Digests.
Should we or the digests do injustice
to either of these pre-eminently dis
tinguished individuals, we shall take
great pleasure in correcting it.
Upwards of forty-five cf the Govern
or’s legislative supporters are in the
same impecunious predicament, relum
ing no property, and playing the hon
orable role of poll tax defaulter.
That Radical Brobdignag, Supervi
sor and Terry-torial Paihament.irian,
A. L. Harris, returns nothing in Chat
ham or Fulton counties.
Slate Road Treasurer, S. I*. Harris
returns $1,050.
The Washington Chronicle states
that Speaker McWhorter is the largest
land owner and planter in his county.”
The Speaker gives in his magnificent
possessions, ol all kinds, at seven thou
sand dollars.
Forney also says, that Ephraim
Tweedy retired from business on am
ple means. His ample means are ten
thousand four hundred dollars. Tins
is about the biggest plum m the Radi
cal pie.
Mr. President Conley returns $6,500.
Forney praises hirn much as a Radical
Republican. This laudation of course
covers Conley’s vote agiinst the Fif
teenth Amendment, which killed it in
Georgia.
The Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, selected, of course, for hh mon
etary ability, returns no property, and
pays one dollar poll tax.
All of Bullock’s suppor’ers, as afore
said, aggregate about one hundred and
twenty-five thousuand dollars, all told.
And this petty amount of property fur
nishes the government lor oar great
State.
And this body of men has recenily
been in sess on over thirty days, ex
hausted tiie treasury of more than as
much money as they were ill worth,
without enacting* single bill, and only
passing resolutions, one to pay them
selves for two weeks’ adjournment, and
another to prevent anybody else from
being paid.
We give these statements as just to
the people, and as an offset to a grand
iloquent blow in Forney’s Chronicle
about our Radical Legislature.

How the Thistle Saved Scotland.
—The following is related as the orig
in of the use ot the thistle, as the na
tional emblem of Scotland. When
the Danes invaded Scotland they
availed themselves of the pitch dark
ness of night to attack ;he Scottish
force unawares. In approaching the
Scottish torce3 unobserved, marching
barefooted to prevent their tramp from
being heard ; one of the Danes trod
upon a large prickly thistle, and the
sharp cry ol pain he instantly uflered,
apprised the Scots ol their danger \\ ho
immediately ran lo their arms, and de
feated the toe with great slaughter.—
The thistle was ihenceiorward adopt
ed as the national insignia of Scotland.
