The subject to which I allude is the
selection of candidates in the approach
ing election, with reference to their
eligibility under existing so called
laws, and the certainly of their being
allowed; to take their scats if elected.
The recomendalion which some mem
bers of the Committee, in its unorgan
ized and in complete state, have given
to the people on this subject is already
receiving different interpretations. For
my own part 1 am at a total loss to im
agine how any man elected to Congress
from this State could have anv “cer-
allowed to take his
seat without avowing his uncondition

part} 7 . If the recommendation means
this it will be promptly repudiated by
every true Democrat in the United
States ; and I will not do the members

They openly declare that they legislate

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.
*+ +' “■*'
Our community entertained Friday last,
a Committee appointed by the legislature
to ascertain the relative value of the State
property located in this city,and the Ogle
thorpe. University buildings iu Midway.
The 1 ody we learn caine to no definite
coiiMusion, only that tbe main Capitol
Edifice v'as a much more substantial one
. tban at first imagined, and the Executive
31 ansiou a little palace within itself,hence
the propriety of an exchange between the
State aDd tile Trustees of the Oglethorpe
buildings was douhtlul. The Committee
in their wisdom sought a compromise,
however, offering to frame a bill, to give
the Governor’s Mansion to the Trustees,
in ezch 'ogc for tbe Oglethorpe grounds
aijd buildings, where a College of colored
people couid be located at a mere nomi
nal expense, whilst tlie grand old Capitol
must bo mutilated, framed as it were to
suit the purposes of a first class Agricul-
of all kind from that sectiou. It will be,
we understand, a great affair, aud the
proper steps have been taken to make it
such.
The special pride of A'lanta just at this
time, is the H. I. Kimball Hotel, that is
hiring ert ;ted. It will be a grand build
ing and no mistake. It fronts on Piior
Street 210, Railroad street 1G3, and De
catur street 1G3 feet, and contaius 317
rooms exclusive of stores aud offices. It
is six stories high exclusive of the base
ment. Will be open on the J7lh of Octo
ber 1870, Crittenden & Go., Managers.
The M essrs. McComb. of Milledgeville,
will also be associated in the management
of the House.
Mr. Kimball will accept our thanks for
the fine large photograph of his house, be
so kindly presented us. We have it in
e.jv office and our readers iu the city aud
county are invited to call in and see a fine
picture of a very fine house. The house
when Unfilled, will present a verj attrac
tive appearance, both externally and in
ternally. The dining and ball rooms are
beautifully frescoed, especially, the Ball
room is really elegant and tasty.
Savannah should see to it that she has
a house every way its equal, and we hope
yet to see the Pulaski House enlarged
and its arcliitectual style greatly improv
ed. r I he travel to Savannah is growing
every yea*, especially, from the North,
invalids coming South to winter. A fine
largo Hotel with the latest improvements
is the thing needed in our Seaport city.
The general Depot Building when fin
ished, will he quite an elcgaDt and com
modious affair, aud something of an orna
ment to the city.
We also paid tho Legislature a visit
looked in upon a body the like of which
we hope we may never see again legisla
ting for the State. If they could see
rights of others ; as for 3Iiliedgeviile, site
has taken the Capital and Oglethorpe Col
lege from us, and the next thing we fear,
she will want our grave yard as an orna
ment to set off her own. *S!ic is welcome to
the Penitentiary, and may have it at any
time she calls fur it. But after all, we
rather admire the Phoenix City.
Central Railroad f; Banking Ca,
We were in Atlanta when the House
I refused to extend the Charter of the above
{ Company. We thought, at the time,there
was more of prejudice and hate to the
I Road than reason iu the refusal. We are
j glad, however, to state, that the action
of the House was reconsidered and the
Charter extended. It was wise, proper
and just, and an absolute necessity to the
people. The argument that the Central
Road is a monopoly, is in the abstract
an unjust charge. All monied corpora
tions or a monied man. is a monopoly. C'or
porations as well as individuals, will use
j there means to advance their interests,
i and who has a right to reflect upon them,
! It is like giviug onea horse and yet compel
ling him to walk. All that the people de
mand, is fair and honorable competition,
and no efforts made to throttle such move
ments.
SAVANNAH.
Our Savannah exchanges every now
and then gives to its readers the informa-
ion that Savannah merchants can dupli
cate any bill that country merchants may
make in New Yoik. So far as tho Savan
nah papers are concerned, they have ever
been awake to tho inte-rest. of their city,
and if the merchants would only by a sen
whole subject ol eligibility of’candi
dates as aiiecicd bv so-called disabil- j
ities, lias been leit by the National j
Democratic organization and by the
Democratic Stale Convention, without
any recommendation at all—leaving
the members of the party everywhere
perfectly free to shape their action ac
cording to their own convictions of
principle and policy in the dillerent
localities. But since the subject has
been brought belore the public in a
quasi official form by members of the
Committee with which 1 am offieia lly
connected,! deem it tlue to myself to
make known my own distinct and
strong convictions as to the course re
quired by sound policy and sanction
ed by sound principles.
As to members of the Legislature, I
' think the people should select only
j those who are free Irom all the so call-
i ed disabilities; and this simply as a
matter of policy. The Legislature
will be subject to the manipulation of
the dominant party at Washington ;
and that party will certainly exclude
Irom it all persons who may be sub-
jecL to any of the disabilities which
they have prescribed for aud attempt
ed to fix upon, that class of officers.
For the Legislature we have abundanl
sound material which is free from al!
disabilities prescribed for that class ;
and by electing a Legislature from
this material, we shall cither get a
sound administration of Stale affairs
or else drive the enemies of constitu
tional liberty into the perpetration ot
some new outrage, and thus pile up
and accelerate the retiibution which
awaits them at l lie hands of an indig
nant people. It must be borne in mind
that the iron-clad, or test oath, has not
yet been required for members of the
Legislature.
Members of Congress stand on a
authority than Congressional enact-
menLatMl Presidents! proclamations.
There arc, and can be, no disqualifica
tions or disabilities for members of Con
gress but such ^ as are prescribed by
the Constitution itself and by ihe Con
stitution I mean that sacred instru
ment in its purity as contra-distin
guished from the so called l4thaud
15th amendments. This doctrine was
solemnly and repeatedly adjudicated
by Congress itself in its better days.
It has never been violated but by
Radical revolutionary violence. And
never let it be forgotten that this viola
tion now perpqtraied in the name, and
under color of the 14th and 15th A-
mendmenis, was equally perpetrated
by the same revolutionary party be
fore the passage of either one of those
so-called amendments. I remark just
here in passing that the 13th Amend
ment abolishihg slavery stands upon
an entirely different tooting, and, in
my judgment, constitutes a valid part
of the Constitution. This doctrine—
that the only possible disqualifications
or disabilities for members of Congress
are those to be found in the Constitu
tion itself—always observed in tbe
better days of the government, and
violated only by revolutionary Radi
calism,will certainly be respected and
enforced by every true Democratic
Congress in tbe future.
1 think, therefore that we should
select members ot Congress without
the 6ligh*esi regard to so-called disa
bilities, except that we should not fail
to send at least some who are subject
to them, and who have ability to show
their invalidity and enormity. They
must have a hearing on the question
of their right to seats, and that ques
tion, well argued on the theatre of
Congress, would shake this country
from centre lo circumference. Our
strength lies in attack—in attacking
the usurpation and enormities of the
party who are seeking to overthrow 7
our whole system ot government by
first crushing out the Stales which
stand as the obstacle in the way of
their schemq of centralization and
consequent unobstructed public plun
der. Our strength is in the tru,h, and
their weakness is it. their guilt. Our
policy is not to shrink from the con
test, but to wage an unremitting war
j on the field of truth and reason ; and
we must briug forward such issues as
will reveal the malignity of their de
signs and the enormity of their guilt.
It is a time when cowardice is folly
and weakness, and courage is wisdom
and strength. We are invincible on
ihe issues if they are rightly made;
and let us remember that nobody ever
gained a victory by running away
from the battle-field.
These outline ideas may fife enlaig-
ed if the Committee shall hereafter
submit an address to the people of
Georgia.
Yours, very respectfully,
