ftd)oan«d on tbo I8U1 uli. «fi#r adopting
the following memorial and appeal to the
President:
To His Excellency, U. S. Grant, President
af' the United State*—
Your memorialists, Cherokee*, Choc
taws, Muscogee*, Sfiaroneex, Baca aud
Foxes, Senecas and other tribes, owning
lands in the Iudian Territory aud repre
sented in general council, assembled at
Okmulgee, in June, 1872, would most re
spectfully show* that the couutry known
as the Indian Territory was set apart for
permanent homes for the red people,
where they might live in peaoe with each
other and with all men, by nu act of Con
gress approved May 28, 185U); that their
right and title to* this country were per
fected by treaties with the United States,
by acts of Congreas and patents iu fee
simple from the United Slates (twelve
treaties are cited in the memorial); that
the Cberokees, Choctaws, liuaoogeea,
Chiokaaawa andSsminolas not a few years
aieea lifed anal of the Miaaiaaippi river,
from whence they weie expelled l>y a
superior force, aud in disregard of their
earnest protests; that, uuder the plea of
necessity, they were transferred to the
country they uow own, then a wilderness,
tinder solemn guaranty that here, at leaat,
they might rest their weary feet, rekiudlc
their council Area, build anew their
houses, open ferma, school their cbildreu,
worship God, and organize governments
of their own; and that these privileges
should be secured to them and their chil
dren for all time to come, contingent only
on their extinction or voluntary ubuudou-
nient of their domain. Uclyiug upou such
solemn guarantees, our people settled
down in consoious security, and up to i860
made rapid strides in civilized arts and .
industry. Half a century had transformed I
them from half-nuked liomudK to well >
clothed, well fed, intelligent meu aud wo- |
men, with many of the comforts and sumo
approach to the luxuries and wealth of
commercial nations. They were the nu-
disputed owners of a vast domain, pro-
E resrive and highly hopeful of the future ;
ut the civil war broke out and iuvolved
them, against their will, iu its fearful vor
tex. During the conflict they were de
spoiled of everything save the soil be
neath their feet. With sons and biothers
slain, homes desolated, their herda of cat
tle driveu off, and their property destroy
ed, no wonder they sank dow n iu utter
despair. But the treaties negotiated be
tween the United States Government uud
the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chick-

Washington, June 23.—The long ses
sion of Congrent having expired, aud in
the language of the Speaker, “The House
of Kcpiesontativea stands adjourned with
out day,” it may be a matter worth* of a
passing notice to briefly on line in the
form of a charcoal sketch the Bepresen
tatives of Georgia in the Congress of the
United States.
The senior Senston, Hon. Joahos Hill,
of Madison, Morgan conuty, whose term
expires on the 4th of March, 1873, is a
grave and diguiffed gentleman of about
hixty summers. Although Mr. Hill was
elected as a Republican, yet he seldom
votes or acts with that party, but almost
in every instance, especially in the re
pression of harsh legislation toward the
good true people, he uniformly co-opera
ted with the Democrats. At this writing
it is due to Mr. Hill to say, that we cau-
uot call to mind in any instance where he
lms cast a vote, siuce a {Senator from
Georgia, inimical to (Southern interests,
even fioui the stand-point of the moat
"unreconstructed." llis character for
probity is without blemish.
The junior Senator, Hou. Thomas Mor
row Norwood, of Savannah, Chatham
cotiuty, is youug, modeat and attentive,
and luuy yet develop resources and pow
ers consonant, with the wishes and expec
tations of his most ardent frieuda aud ad
mirers. He is an inflexible Democrat
and a most vigilant sentry of the righta
aud interests of Georgia. If he was more
demonstrative aud aggreasive, he might,
iu the opinion of yotir correspondent, ac
complish more for Georgia.
Archibald Thompson Mclutyro, of
Thomssville, Thomas county, born in
Twiggs county, On., October 27, 1822,
represents the First District composed
of twenty-nine counties only. It is a
conceded fact that no people or constitu-
eucy ever had a representative more
watchful and attentive. The tiles of the
Globo will show that he has rarely been
nb-ent at roll cull during a continuous
session of over live months. "Old Mac,"
as liis brother Democrats familiarly call
him is always on hand—late and early.
Hu is recognized t.b a most woithy uud
excellent member, and his only fault be
ing his conservative modesty aud good
nature. His digestion being good, it is
most difficult to make him augry. A lit
tle mote expeiience will doubtless bring
him to the proper temper.
Richard Happy Wbiteley of Dainbridge,
of the Second District composed of twenty
counties, born in County Dover, Irelsud,
December 22, 1830; was a Major in the
Confederate army, uud elected to Con
gress as a Republican. Although a Radi
cal, Mnj. Whiteley, to his credit bo it said,

Office of North and South Railroad, >
Columbus, Ga., July l, 1872. >
To the Stockholder* :
I have the pleasure to submit the fol
lowing as a summary of tho operations of
your Company since its organization ou
the 11th day of August last. Ry the first
day of October the Kugineor Corps had
located tho line from Columbus to Hamil
ton, and the first seventeen miles ut once
covered by contractors, but the unexpected
position of the City Trustees in withhold
ing the bonds of tho City of Columbus
forced such a change of jiolicy as to re
tard the progress of the Company very
seriously. Twice since then important
and favorable negotiations lmve been in
terrupted by officious letters to our cor
respondents in Now Yoik, asserting that
your first mortgage bonds would not he
endorsed by the Governor, as guaranteed
by your charter.
1 am happy to inform you that this
matter has boon set at rest by the written
assurance of His Excellency, Gov. James
M. Smith. Your Company commenced its
struggle for existence without money or
credit. The fiasco of Kimball and his
confederates had placed Georgia securi
ties outside of the pale of legitimate nego
tiation. Railroad projects iu the State
were held in sifch distreri by capitalists
that many forgot the demands of ordi
nary courtesy when any attempt was made
to place your enterprise before them. Nor
did the embarrassment of the Company
cease here, your subscriptions, amounting
to half a million, whioh might have been
concentrated and Nerved to carry the road
forward without a day's delay, were so
hampered with conditions os to render
them hardly available. When the Com
pany had earned each duller twice over,

timo to have one built.
Our Engineor Corps has been main
tained at a heavy outlay, but I am certain
yon will sustain it ns nn expenditure well
made. Onr rapid progress with tbe work
required a full corps to keep uliead
of tho contractors with the location. In
addition, construction at four different
IHiiutH demanded resident engineers, and
under the idea thut a road built in two
yours is worth 30 por cent, more than one
built in ton years, I was glad to employ
four resident engineers two years in pref
erence to one engineer ten years. Under
Chief Engineer W. J. Winn the depart
ment has been managed with the greatest
economy, and to him snd his assistants I
am indebted for faithful and efficient sup
port. To his report uppended, I refer
you for a resume of his department. Au
will be scon from bis report, the locating
corps lmve now started northward from
LaGrange, and their progress will be ac
companied by an active canvass for sub
scriptions iu the north of Troup uud in
Heard, Uurroll, Haralson, Folk and Floyd
comities, which up to this time have been
almost unasked for aid. Wu found long
since that our efforts for subscriptions
were practically useless if they preceded
the surveys. 1 have every reason to be
lieve tbut these couulisH will suud in good
returns.
The report of tho Secretary and Treas
urer, herewith submitted, furnishes a full
htatemcut of llic financial condition of the
company. He shows tho assets of tho
company to be sufficient to meet its
liabilities, loaving tho company with
twenty uiilos finished and engine and
train running, aud twenty-two more grad
ed and the endorsed bonds and any addi
tional subscriptions which may be ob
tained, with whioh to push forward the
work. To Secretary W. D. Cbipley, the
company is indebted for the most valuable
services, both in the field snd office, and
wo aro especially indebted to him not only
for tho efficient manne# iu which he has
discharged his duties as tieoretary and
Treasurer, but as Acting Superintendent
of the road, which position ho has filled
most admirably. Too much pruiso cannot
bo awarded him, and I most cordially
commend him to you as a most ablo and
invaluable officer.
I desire to acknowledge tho valuable cer
vices of Hon. W. C. Jarlioe of LaGrange,
who, without compensation, has given the
Company tho benefit of his untiring efforts
in its behalf.
To tho gentlemen of the Directory I am
indebted for their support and hearty co
operation, nml Hon. John T. Burns, uud
Capt. A. Griffith, for their specuil manage
ment ou tho Roiiiu Division, i take
pleasure to herein acknowledge tho valua
ble services of Maj. H. M. H. Byrd, of
Polk county, towards securing rights of
way, and in otherwise forwarding the in
terest of the company.
A mortgage of $1,500,000 subject to the
laws of the Statu governing Stale aid, has
been executed, but as yet none of the
Bonds (15,000 of one 1000 each) have been

cure Messrs. Henry W. Ford, Cashier of
National Bank of Republic, uml Mr.

In conclusion, allow mo to congratulate
you upon the fluttering prospects of your
Company. With all local bickerings har
monized, and the efforts of all directed
towards tho completion of the enterprise,,
it will not bo long before its progress will
develope benefits to the cities and coun

and South Hail road ;
Sir- At tho date of uiy report to you as
Chairman of the Executive Committee,
(Aug. 11 111, 1871,) the contract for the en
tire construction of the first 20 miles from
Columbus Northward, had just been
awarded to Messrs. Lane, Grant A Co.
These gentlemen, with their usual energy,
immediately placed a large and experi
enced force of Railroad hands upon the
same, and by October, the first 17 miles
were well under way, with every prospect
of a speedy completion of their entire
contrsot.
At this juncture the construction placed
upon the art authorizing the issuance of

Railroad enterprise.
With these impediments now removed,
I trust that in future progress will equal
the most sanguine expectations of our
friends.

Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lancs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthms,
and Consumption.
Among the grent
discoveries of modem
science, few are of
more real value to
mankind than this ef
fectual remedy for all
diseases of the Throat
and Langs. A vast
trial of its virtues,
throughout this and
other countries, has
shown that it does
surely and effectually
control them. Tho testimony, of our best citi
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
Ciieruy Pectoral will and does relieve and
euro the afflicting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; uud cases of Conaampta
lion* cured by this preparation, nro public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be
lieved, wero they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy It is adequate, on which the pvvbila
inay roly for fnll protection. By curing Coughs,
tlio"forerunners of more serious disease, it save*
unnumbered lives, and nn amount of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
nnd unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which nro easily met at first, but which become
incurable, nnd too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwiso to
ho without it. As si safeguard to children, amid
tho distressing diseases which beset the Throat
nnd Chest of childhood, Ciaf.rry Pectoral
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes am rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound nnd health-restoring sleep. No
ou® will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
ful Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can he cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toil
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. It may bo confidently re
lied upon as possessing all the virtues It *—

Ayer’s
Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair it*
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which i s at
once agreeable,
healthy, and
effectual for
preserving tha
hair. It soon
restores faded
or yrai/ hair
to its original
rotor, with tho
(/toss a ad freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restora
the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; hut such as remain can ba
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous,
its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Tha
restoration of vitality it gives to tha
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff', which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from thoea
deleterious substances which maka
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious to the hair, tho Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a IIAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dyo, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
longuu the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
