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. PIUSP.P.1X Mr. Griffin of the 2G!h, desired to j ter that she must banish from her mind ease Mr. Hungerford’s mind, and there- \ th e '^ ea attending the party. To upon moved an adjournment. Oh ! it was a “ Kilkenny Kal ” fight. Rich ! very rich ! Mr. Hungerford desired Brock’s orig inal resolution and his substitute read, j He then remarked that he had been ap- | proaohed by Senators since his speech 1 of Saturday, and told if he would stop his disclosures, they would vote down j Brock’s resolution and his substitute. | If not, they would vote for Brock’s res- j elution. But he could not be biibed j from his duly. He wanted a clean sweep. • He said employees who were | blood relations were incompetent, and had to employ aids who received equal Schedule of the Georgia Railroad.

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 treated her to wait qmil after supper, but finding that his requests were all in vain, and that the lady was resolved to go home he offeted to accompany her, to which proposition she gladly consented. On the road home but little was said by either party until they had nearly reached the house, when *J.’ j jufa/med his companion that he was | not going into the house, and presented | h r with a beautiful pearl handle krite, I saying that whenever she used it to ' think ot him ; then bidding her good night, started off and was soon out of sight. The young girl on entering the door ofher house, was confronted by her mother, who inquired where *he had been, Tq the query the girl an swered that she had been to the dance with *J.’ Our readers can best judge of the surprise of the daughter when she was informed that the person she had sup posed had been her partner had not been out of the house since early night fall, and, ip fact had retired long be fore the hour specified for the festivi- lie won to in make a putting Senators were to be e.>eiuus bring all influence to bear clean sweep of ihe matter out relatives.

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 WQulfi he produced by light from above. For this reason we think you 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: arguments from sacred antiquity ami ecclesiastical sciei ce, that comprising many things in a few words, you have Na tl lid 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. [Constitution. 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.
