FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 18G9.
The Frrneh Elections.
The French Elections have closed np in an
extraordinary triumph of the Imperial party.
Aa far as heard from the government carries
19G members of the Corps Legialatif to 2G of all
factions of the opposition, and thirty-eight dis
tricts were still to be heard from. This is cer
tainly a wonderful triumph of the Emperor’s gov
ernment, and we think it was about as unex
pected as it is complete. —
The opposition, nttcrly discordant in its. ma
terial, and united only in the single position of
antagonism to the Empire, had become exceed
ingly confident and aggressive, and had taught
ns to lielieve the Imperial authority tnainHinsi
only by the sternest arts and energies of mastery
and repression. Wo have been told so often,
that we have got it by heart, that French Impe
rialism is .standing upon subterranean volcanos,
whose pent up fires arc rapidly consuming and
abrading the thin crust which will soon bnist
and whelm the Napoleonic Dynasty in total min.
In fact, ever since the coup d’etat in 1848,
Louis Napoleon has figured in the classical liter
ature of the politicians os a Damocles, with the
drawn sword suspended over his head by a sin
gle hair, sod yet be went into power with a tre
mendous popular endorsement, and never since
Ui&t time has there been good reason to donbt
that he was backed by the great mass of the
French people.
He has consolidated and increased his strength
from year to year, and the world can now look
back through a reign of more than twenty
years, almost without historic parallel in the sub
stantial triumphs which have crowned it.
Ho announced it in the outset, as a reign of
peace, and we may challenge history for equal
achievement*—for more splendid advances in
the arts of peace, daring two decades in the life
of any nation. Every department of hnmsn
knowledge and industrial pursuit has mado as
tonishing progress. Commerce, agriculture,
and the liberal and mechanic arts have oil made
giant strides, and the grand exposition of 18CG
disclosed to the world that tho French were im
measurably in advanoe of any other people. A
writer in the last North British Review, in a
long article upon the competitive results of that
exposition, concedes almost everything that a
Frenchman conld claim upon this point.
So, too, tho reign of Napoleon has been sig
nalized by the grandest achievements in the
way of internal improvement—by vast aci
sions to the wealth of the people—by the es
tablishment of the most perfect internal order
and security—by a greater degree of tranquility
than the French ever enjoyed for such a length
of timo—by the a) me nee of all national calam
ity and misfortune, and, finally, l>y the eleva
tion of the moral and material power of the
French nation to a point whioh it had novor be
fore attained, even under the splendid achieve
ments of<tbe first Napoleon or tho magnificent
displays of Louis XtV.
On tho whole, we think impartial history will
be compelled to class the reign of Napoleon III.
as one of the most sagacious, successful and
solidly beneficial administrations which figure in
tho annals of tha world; and it should not bo
surprising that so intelligent apeoplo as the
French should anticipate her verdict, and see
that their true policy lies in supporting the
crown. Remitted to the discordant plans and
purposes of tho opposition, the change would be
disastrous indeed.
Justice to Georgia.
THE ATLANTA SLANDER MILL.
A few days ago we copied a special dispatch
Brazil -
-The First Favorable Testi
mony.
The first favorable testimony of Brazil we
from Atlanta to the Washington Chronicle and haTe noticed from an actual settler is in the
New York Tribune, stating that “ a large num
ber of Republican* or Radical* from aU parte of
Georgia, including many members of the Legis
lature of the State, are note in Atlanta, b diet
ing that death is certain if they undertake to go
to their homes"
We challenged the truth of this statement, and
demanded a list of this “ large number" of ref
ugees in Atlanta afraid to go home. The only
answer received was a miserable anonymous
scrawl in a crabbed bond writing, from Atlanta,
specifying nine names as those of men afraid to
go home. That was on Saturday, and up to this
time (Thursday morning) we have had authen
tic dsrfals from civ of the nine (either directly
or through their friends) of the truth of the
statement, while in respect to at least one other,
charges of misdemeanor are alleged which would
render it imprudent in any man to go home—
and of another that he never had a home in the
county he represents—so that it may be said
the whole allegation vanishes like the baseless
fabric of a vision.
So far from there being “a large number of Re
publicans in Atlanta afraid to go home,” they
have failed to bring a clear case of a single ref
ugee in Atlanta afraid to go home on account
of his politics, and that there is one snch we
have not the slightest idea. ••
Bat will the Northern newspapers who have
given cnrrency to' this statement make the
amende ? Will they tell their readers that it is
untrue—that it was the mere fabrication of
partied, bent far their own purposes, upon sys
tematically viilifying the condition of Georgia ?
Not they. They wiU do nothing of the kind.
Falsehood is just as good as truth for their pur
poses.
Not one of them has corrected the dispatch
from the same source about the murder of two
negroes in Warren county, who are now living
there unmolested No one has corrected the
lies about the Spillman outrage. No one has
noted Turner’s denial of his statements as pub
lished in the Tribune, or Belcher's retraction
of his miserable letter to Mr. Sumner.
Now, all tho staff about Georgia, with very
few exceptions, if traoed up, would fizzle out in
the manner of this Atlanta refugee story. Tho
political murders alleged before the Reconstruc
tion Committee and variously estimated at from
two to eleven hundred, would dwindle down
very pinch like the tale of the Atlanta refugees.
The disseminators of falsehood are active, but
no man lifts a finger in the work of vindication.
What folly is that adage of Jefferson that “er
ror ceases to be dangerous if reason is left free
to combat it” Truth is a mere snail—a tor
toise, while busy slander and falsehood travel
with the speed of an electric flash. The South
ern country is at this moment, the most quiet,
forbearing, long-snffcring country on the face
of the globe, and yet the whole continent is sub
merged in sn ocean of falsehood about her as
turbulent, murderous and lawless. The man
who rests upon tho self-vindicating power of
truth in these times should apply for a guardian.
He should not trust himself at large upon his
own responsibility.
Constitutionalist of Wednesday. It is a letter
from A. T. Oliver, formerly a citizen of Ogle
thorpe county, who left there the 13th of August,
1866. His letter is dated the 10th of last March.
He speaks well of the government, and in re
spect to the agricultural capabilities of the coun
try, he says:
“This is the best sugar country in the world;
plant it once, and it will produce thirty years
without planting again. It is the native home
and climate for coffee.
“This is the most healthy, most productive
country I ever saw; the best climate, the purest
water, and the finest timber. We can make a
bale of five hundred pounds of lint cotton on
every acre of land. We cultivate fifty to sixty
bushels of corn, and as fine rice and tobacco as
the best and most favored portions of Virginia
and South Carolina. We have all of tho tropical
fruits; besides, all that you can raise in Geor-
pa, we can have here. * Vegetables, of every
and and variety, that yon have, we have here
in abundance. Hogs are as fine as yon ever saw
from Kentucky; horses, cattle, mules, sheep
and goats are abundant and good. Poultry, of

every description, in the greatest abundance.—
In short, it is a land of peace and plenty, and I
believe will ultimately prove to be the Cornu
copia of the world. It is now tho asylum of the
oppressed South, and they are fast coming to
her peaceful and pacific bosom; and, like a
nursing mother, she will receive and support

cotton to-morrow, (I Ith of March); a hand can
lick one hundred and fifty pounds. Com is
lard enough to grind; and I think (and so do
all who have seen my cotton) that it will make
750 pounds of ginned cotton per acre. I have
plowed twice and hoed it once; that is all the
work it has had. I made last year, on new

dxb Mini. Choked bt its own Falsehoods.—Mr.
John Neal, of Warren, whose name is men
tioned in “Radical’s" card to tho Macon Tele
graph, as ono of the refugees in Atlonia, afraid
to go home forhia political opinions, pronounces
the statement an unmitigated falsehood, os far
as he is concerned. He has just come from
home, and was treated kindly there. He also
says the charge is untrue about Gardner.
Eighth Gsoboia Reunion.—Tho Macon Tel
egraph says that it has received suggestions
from a prominent source that it might be po
litically imprudent to hold tho proposed Eighth
Georgia Reunion on the 21st of July; and that
it would be better to postpone it to a later day.
It is possible that it might be misrepresented,
and if there is such a possibility, we concur
with onr contemporary that it is well to saeri
flee personal considerations to tho public wel
fare. We hold that a very grave duty rests
npon onr people to avoid anything that can be
distorted to onr disadvantage by onr enemies.
We shall defer tin this matter to the views of
a majority of those interested.
Cobuction.—Wo are informed that the rumor
of tho aTrest of Mrs. Adkins for the murder of
her hnsband, Joseph Adkins, is nntrne.
Chalybeate Spawns.—Mr. D. L. Booher &
Son havo taken charge of this pleasant and
health-restoring watering place, and are fully
prepared for the accommodation of invalids or
pleasure seekers. These springs are situated
among the mountains of Meriwether oonnty in
a cool and salubrious climate, where such things
as mosquitoes and gnats are bat dreams of the
too much given to good living. The grounds
and houses have been thoroughly repaired, the
billiard room and ten pin alleys improved, the
cellars stocked with the best of liquors, the
grounds lighted with gas, hot and cold baths
provided, and everything furnished for pleasure
' and comfort. The spring is a bold one, dis
charging sixty gallons per minute, the main in
gradient of which is iron. Its health-giving
properties have been attested by thousands,
band of music has been procured for the Sum
mer. In fact at this watering place is present
ed everything which heart can desire. Coaches
to carry them to the Springs always await tra
velers at Geneva, on tho S. W. railroad. See
advertisement.
Raspbehrie-s in Geobgia.—Hon. S. F. Gove
has left at this office three of the most improved
varieties of the raspberry, Scarlet and Yellow,
by way of showing that the best French rasp
berries can be produced in Georgia under unfa
vorable circumstances. These have been grown
without working, and have been suffered to suc
cor freely for the purpose of propagation, and
yet the fruit is large and fine. He thinks, with
ordinary care, the best varieties of this fruit
can be abundantly produced in this section of
Georgia.
Pbepabixo fob a Fbesh Campaign.—Tho New
York Tribune announces that it has dispatched
one of its best correspondents on a tour through
the South, from nearly every portion of which
it expects trr publish fall and reliable reports.
It is hoped Mr. Greeley’s traveler will prove
more truthful and just than his stationary lying
machines, who are a disgrace to humanity. So
says the Savannah Republican.
Mr. Editor : Your contemporary savs the
head of Washington has been struck off the
three cent postage stamps probably because he
was a Southern man and a rebel, and he sup
poses the next step will be to rub out Jackson'i
head from the two cent stamps. He is behind
the times. Jackson has already been substi
tuted by a postboy, who, if not exactly a ne
gro, is very nearly the color of the Macon Post
master that is to be. Stamps.
Judicial Convention.
A friend has famished ns with the copy of a
circular signed by the Hon. C. B. Cole, J. D.
Pope, J. R. Parrott, and D. B. Harrell, calling
for a convention of the Judges of the Superior
Courts of tho State for the purpose of revising
and modifying the rules of practice of the Su
perior Courts.
This move is in the right direction and cannot
fail to result in great advantage to the bench
and Bar of the State in the administration of
justice.
It is anticipated that there will be a fall at
tendance, not only of the Judges, bnt that many
prominent members of the Georgia Bar will bo
present, to aid by their consultations in so mod
ifying the Roles of Coart as to give effect to the
practical teachings of actual experience for the
last quarter of a century.
It is also suggested that tho occasion will be a
suitable one for the general assemblage and so
cial reunion of the members of a profession dis
tinguished alike for its erudition, wit and social
worth.
Tho following is a copy of the cironlar referred
to:
Cuthbebt, Ga., May 13th, 1869.
To the Honorable Judges of the Superior Courts:
Dear Sirs : In view of the fact that the rules
of Court, established by the Judges in Conven
tion many years since, are defective in various
particulars, and on account of the changes in
onr organic system and current legislation, fail
in adaptability to the exigencies of onr present
government and laws, we propose a Convention
of the Jadges of the Superior Courts of the
State to revise and modify said roles under the
authority granted by soction 3181, Irwin’s re
vised Code.
We, therefore, respectfully ask yon to meet
ns and the other Jadges in Convention at the
Capital, in Atlanta, on Tuesday, July 13th, next,
at 11 o'clock a. il, for that purpose, and also
to consider other things of importance and in
terest to the profession and to the people.

War Enough lor One Generation.
Indian String, May 24, 1869.
Editors Telegraph :. In your comments npon
the Triple Alliance, yon well say the United
States are in just that condition to be morally
benefitted by a sound thrashing. I agree with
you, and permit me to add that yonr views ap
pear to me always wise and just.
What earthly cause, I ask with you, is there
for war now? Let people who talk lightly about
it reflect upon its evils and miseries as they
have been lately illustrated in the South—the
hellish work of human butchery—men, like
wild beasts, and worse, rending each other to
pieces—the lnrid fires of hell lighting np the
country—thousands wrething in death agony—
the dwellings of the poor and the rich crackling
in the flames—-the shrieks of outraged women
and frightened children—the monuments of
human toil destroyed—all vestiges of civilization
obliterated—starvation brooding over the land
the triumph of all that is devilish, senseless and
cruel. This is war.
And will any of my old comrades forget that
when we were ragged, hungry, foootsore and
weary in camp, how we threatened vengeance
against the man who should ever talk war again
in our hearing? No! No!
Some say war will bring the repudiation of
the national debt! if the debt shall be repudia
ted, it will first have to be redeemed in the
precious blood of the poor soldier. Are people
who talk in that way willing to contribute their
own blood as part of the priee ? Not they!
War is the accursed contrivance of politicians
and aristocrats, to barter the blood, the happi
ness and prosperity of the people, for their own
selfish ends of ambition or pelf. Well says a
writer tnat “if the people were wise, war is
game that kings could never play.”
I say let all parties at the North beware of
war. The South has had her fill of it for a gen
eration and means to do no more fighting.
War lifts reduced us almost to starvation and
beggary—has filled our land with desolation
and mourning—has covered the. country with
the scarred monuments of raid, rapine and plun
der—has wrecked onr liberties and made as the
sport and prey of onr conquerors. If the North,
who has fared better by war wants more of it,
let her have it—we have got enough.

and I will even sacrifice my principles (if I

far os I can do so, without interfering with my
main purpose, I will favor you as a good Re

ture the success of my administration in yonr
behalf. I consider that the Virginians them
selves are chiefly to be consulted in this matter,
not yon. I say this after doe deliberation, and
I shall pat the same views before my Cabinet”
‘I told him,” said Wells, “that he was acting
in a way very injurious to his party.” “My
party,” answered Grant; “well, I know very
well what you mean by ‘my party.’ but I was
elected by the people, and I can afford to do as
I please, in spite of politicians and their or
ganizations. I intend to do so. I hope yon
may be elected Governor of Virginia, but I
shall do nothing officially to effect that result
Yon most depend on yonr own popularity and
the strength of yonr party. As for the consti
tution, I intend to submit it, as far as possible,
not to suit yon and other immigrants, bnt to
snit the native Virginians, always protecting the
equality of the negroes.”
“Such was the comfort we got,” continued
Wells, “and if we had not succeeded better
with some of his Cabinet, the constitution
would have been shorn of evory provision that
protects loyal interests against rebel invasion.”

A Cincinnati dispatch of the 25th says:
D. N. Stanton, of Boston, President of tho
Chattanooga and Alabama Railroad, makes the
following proposition to the committee to-day:
H Cincinnati selects Chattanooga as tho south
ern terminus of the proposed road, we are pre
pared to build a first-class railroad from that
point to the Kentucky State line, near Chitwood,
and will have it equipped and running as soon
as Cincinnati can meet ns at that point With
the aid which Cincinnati offers, we will also un
dertake the construction and equipment of e
first-class railroad from the same point to Cin
cinnati, and will take perpetual lease of this
part of the roadon reasonable terms. The whole
line from Cincinnati to Chattanooga shall be so
arranged as to run as one through line, and in
the interests of Cincinnati perpetually, and as
soon as yonr trustees can meet ns, we shall be
ready to enter into an arrangement on basis of
the above.

Memphis Branch Railroad.
The stockholders of the above road met at

by the election of the following gentlemen as
Directors:
Alfred Shorter, W. S. Cothran, S. P. Smith, A.
Griffith, D. S. Printup, C. H. Smith and Samuel
Noble.
W. S. Cothran was elected President of the

the company have acted wisely, as we recog
nize in them gentlemen of experience, and who
have the interest of tho city at heart.
About $30,000 has been subscribed, and we

Saturday.
Who is there in Rome that will not aid in the
building of this road ? Come to the front, and
do not lag in the rear. Let every man in the
city put his shoulder to the wheel and push on
this great work, that is to prove one of Rome’s
greatest blessings.

From the most reliable information and as

in stating that the existing differences between

favorable adjustment We are not advised as
to the precise basis upon which the settlement
is likely to be effected, but the present indica
tions are that they will transpire within the
present week, as we understand that President
Magrath, of the latter corporation, was expected
to arrive here last night, to respond to proposi
tions which had been made to him in the mat
