“An Old Merchant” writes a short
notice in relation to the resolutions
proposed bv Mr. Norcross to the City
Council. , ;
lie says the resolutions are not
properly understood, and proposes to
change their phraseology as follows:
“Before the city of Atlanta pays her
money or bonds, have an agreement with
the Company, that this city shall stand on
the same footing as to the price of
freights on said road, as all other towns
within two hundred miles.”
The writer says these words cover
the whole idea—the entire length,
breadth and depth of the proposed
measure.
He declares that the sole object of
the measure is—not to give Atlanta
any undue advantage at all; but
simply to put her on an equal footing
with rival cities, and not to be dis
criminated against, to her disadvan-
Ztw
He alleges that all the roads cen
tering at this point, except the State
Road, is controled bg rival cities, and
that we are discriminated against in
the price of freights, to their undue
advantage, which has always crippled
Atlanta, and will forever do so, re
pressing our prosperity and clogging
our efforts j and that the Georgia
Western is the last chance for ns to
gel a fair showing and he put on an
equal footing., 1,-p V
For these considerations, “An Old
Merchant” urges the adoption of
some such measure as that proposed.
Tlie Census of 1870.
Forney’s Press lias the following
comparison of the present; census with
that ol' I860:
tot The increase of the aggregate pop
'd ulation of all the States and Territo-
• ’ ries during the ten years is 6,902,429,
and the -rate of increase is above
twenty-one and nine-tenths per cent.
The increase of the whole white pop-
T ulation is 6,591,793, and the rate of
-« increase is 24.4 per cent. <r ; ;d* f
yn The increase of the white popula-
•u iion in the Northern or originally
Free States is 5,137,848, and the rate
• * of increase is 27.4 percent.
i** The increase of the white popula
tion in the Southern States is 1,335,-
201, and the rate of increase is 16.6
per cent. d
The aggregate increase of the black
population in the United States is
£<138,385, and the rate of increase is
— 7.6 percent. uc ***&&!• . a
The increase of the;black popula-
• -tion in the Nmtivern biau-o is 188,953,
and the increase is 4.6 per cent.
The increase of the black popula
tion in the Northern States is 119,-
192. and the rate of increase is 52.;
wytPMBfcia* iUi« 1 1
- The increase of the whole popula
tion in the Territories, including the
District of Columbia, is 184,682, and
the rate of increase is 74.9 p«r cent.
jThis statement refers to the TemtoJ
' ; pel which remained in that condition
. .in .4^70, NebraikaamJJNevada, which
were Territories in' I860, had in the
meantime become States, and are
therefore ranked as such in the table
and in these comparisons, oa *iH \
The increase of the white popula
tion in the Territories is 154,315, and
• .'the rate.of increase is 66.5 per cent
The increase of the black popula
tion in the Territories is 30,367, and
the rate of increase is 208.9 percent.
An inspection of the tables will
show that the considerable increase
of the white population of the South
ern States has taken place chiefly in
those on the Northern border of that
section ; that is to say,rin Delaware,
. Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri,
and that a diminution of, the number
of blacks that have taken place in
those bolder States, except in Mary
land, where the increase is slight.
The greatest increase in the num
ber of blacks in the South has taken
place in Noith Carolina, Tennessee
. Arkansas, Texas^Florida and Alaba
ma. In the two Virginias, compared
with the old State, there is exhibited
a loss of 18,000 blacks. In Georgia
also, there is a falling off of blacks!
and a considerable increase of whites.
Other comparisons will suggest them
selves to tn£~ intelligent reader who
has a copy of the census of 1860 at
^hand. -Saeuunuh Sees. 11. 1871.
Ihe above is from tlie Louisville
(Ky.) Courier-Journal, of the 21st
ult. That paper has departed from
the faith with the new departures,
and has joined the ranks of the so-
called progressionists. We belong to
the old fogy party, and believe in liv
ing in the past We wish to go back
with Mr. {Stephens to the good old
days. We wish to recover lost liber
ty and lost rights. The fundamental
principles of liberty and good gov
ernnient are as old as the human race,
and yet this new party would have us
forget them because they are old. Be
cause Mr. Stephens, with hisgigantic
intellect, is an old man, he must not
be listened to. Because he lives in a
Georgia village, he mnst not be heard.
Because he speaks of the past, and
goes back to first principles and tries
to check his countrymen in their wild
and headlong rush to ruin, it is said
that he carries us backward and not
forward.
Well, personal liberty and the.nat
ural rights of man are old things.
Rivers of blood have flowed in the
past for their purchase and mainten
ance, and will probably flow again,
and the stream will never dry up till
the end of of time. It is the old
contest between liberty and good
government on the one side, ami des
potism on the other. ' ., ' **
It is time for all men to pause and
look back a little. It is especially
time for all who profess and call
themselves Democrats, to pause and
look hack, and see how tar they have
departed from first principles, and see
how rapidly they are drifting towards
absolute despotism. We opine that
the time will yet come, and that be
fore very long, when Mr. Stephens'
utterances will sound still more-
dreary in the ears of all who oppose
right and justice.— Washington (Ga.)

delegated,
except in a limited sense!” Why,
hat is sovereignty, hut the totality
of pavers vested in States or individ-
uals ? The Commercial perhaps does
not know that there is a difference
between the sovereignty of the States
and the rights of the States ? Sover-
eignty is the inherent and inalienable
attribute of the people constituting a
State—the government-making, and
the source of all power in govern
ments. The rights of a State consists
in the political power that its sover
eign people have agreed it should ex
ercise in the State government over
them. Sovereignty, therefore, can
not lie divided, as it is inseperable
from individuals, or communities of
The States did not delegate sover-
cigniu at all to the “nation,” but
merely a portion of the political
rights which their peoples conferred
upon them as States. And these they
did not surrender, but merely delega
ted, deputed, entrusted to the Feder
al Government, through and by the
terms of the Constitution, to he used
for the States united. This is all there
is of it. We advise the Commercial
to study Constitutional law, and our
American system of government, be
fore it again ventures out of its shell,
to sail upon unknown waters, or it
will eternally flounder in the mud,
thors all claims upon our .respect.”
Has Mr. Stephens or any one else
ever uttered a more unqualified de
nunciation of those measures and the
manner of their incorporation with
the Constitution ? They both agree
in this. They both agree, too, that
the amendments “have actually be
come a part of the Constitution:''and
they likewise agree that they are fd
be obeyed and respected so long 1 as
they are there. Mr. Stephens, on this
point, says: “We advise and counsel
no forcible resistance to any of these
usurpations. We advise obedience
to them so long as -they have the
forms of law., as judicially expoun
ded," &o. From this we are inevita
bly led to the conclusion that they al-
r I so agree on the mode of getting rid
of these amendments, viz: as stated
by the Pennsylvania Committee, “in
the prescribed way, and not by revo
lutionary or disorderly means.
This remarkable concurrence ap
pears to us to sweep away all ground
of real difference and controversy.—-
The Pennsylvania Democracy' con
demn the usurpations as much as Mr.
Stephens does, and they counsel
obedience to them while they exist, as
a matter of necessity, jus; as he does.
They nowhere declare that they are

forever as necessary results of the war.

We are higldy gratified at seeing it an

Atlanta Sun. No man in the “Na-
has taken the editorial charge of The
” has better abilities, being a pro-
tion :
found legal scholar, a pure statesman,
and well read upon every subject
which can possibly engage the human
understanding. The Cincinnati Com
mercial, in referring to Mr. Stephens
assuming the editorial charge of the
Sun, says:
“The position of the Sun will be
that the Government of the United
States is a ‘Confederated’ or ‘Federal Re
public,’ formed by the States, possessing
in itself. no inherent sovereignty, but
that all its powers—which are specific
and limited—are held by delegation from
the several States, and that the States
are absolutely sovereign in the exercise
of all reserved or undelegated powers.
The Commercial continues : |
“ This formula is tolerably familiar to
the American people •, Mr. Stephens
will not succeed in making them under
stand that they are not a nation, with an
autonomy for which they are not indebt
ed to the States, and which is derived
from the people themselves. As between
the National Government and the States
themselves, they will be quite willing to
concede that such powers as the
have not surrendered still belong to them ;
sovereignty, except in a very limited
sense, being one of the powers which was
delegated.”
Mr. Stephens may not be able to
! make the people believe that they are
not a “nation.” That would be a dif
ficult task indeed, surrounded as they
are with imperial power, subjected to
robbery, oppression and wrong, over
shadowed by the Force and Ku-Klux
bills, the power to suspend the liberty
protecting writ of habeas corpus in
the hands of an unscrupulous Presi
dent, and bayonets in the hands of
his minions to enforce his arbitrarv
will. We say, with all this evidence
before their eyes, it would be impossi
ble to “succeed in making the people
understand that the Federal Republic
public has hot been changed into a
“nation”—a horrid despotism.
“With an autonomy for which they
are not indebted to the States, and
which is derived from the consent of
the people themselves," is simple non
sense. It is true the “autonomy” or
right of self-government belongs to
every individual, independent of the
States. But what are States except
political communities of self-govern
ing peoples? And are not°States
self-governing, sovereign bodies bv
virtue of the fact that they (the
States) are composed of self-govern
ing individuals ? _ d

to the “nation” that was not derived
from the States, either voluntary or.

then, does the difference exist ? Let

twenty millions of dollars. And even
if the whole should be issued, the
equilibrium of the currency will be
kept steady by the retirement and
cancellation Of"an equivalent amount
of three per cent certificates. The
aggregate of our paper money circu
lation is too large, and the excessive
issues cause the existing depreciation.
But it is also true that from the ex-
tension of railroads, telegraphs and
other business facilities, the country
requires' annually a larger aud larger
amount of money to carry on its busi
ness. Thus we are growing up to
specie payments, and the progress of
the country, North, South and West,
on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes
and in the Mississippi Valley, is esti
mated to have so enlarged the area-
for the use of currency as to be equiv
alent to a reduction of at least 25 per
cent, in the premium during the last
five years. The true method to re
duce the gold premium undoubtedly
is tp. enlarge the field for the use of
currency by expanding the trade of
the country and developing its indus

tioned, lay the body of the fireman
belonging to the train trom this city.
His brains had been dashed out, and*
death must have been instantansous.
His name has not been ascertained!
Search was then made for ;he body
of George Hill, the engineer of the
train from this city, but fer some
time the search was fruitless, and it
was hoped that he had escaped.
At length, however, his body was
discovered buried beneath a mass of
jron and wood, from which it could
not be extracted. The head and
limbs had been crashed into a shape
less mass by the force of the collis-
sion, aud had been afterwards partly
consumed by fire, kindled by the
coals from the engine. After a few-
futile efforts to rescue the body from
its horrible position, the passengers,
with the surviving servants of the
company, turned their attention to
saving the property from the burnino-
cars. ” °
A great number of the passengers
received painful bruises, many of
them haying been thrown violently
from their seats to the ground; but
as they scattered soon afterwards it is
next to impossible to obtain ther
names.
A FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE.
It appears that the train from this
city was almost entirely empty, while
the train from Newark was as usual,
crowded with business men on their
way to this city. Had both' trains
been laden with passengers the loss
of life must have been fearful, as the
two first cars of the empty train tele
scoped, and any person in either of
them at the time must have been
killed or terribly injured.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Great indignation was expressed on
all sides at the culpable negligence
displayed in leaving the switch open,
but the officials were unable to say to
whom the blame properly belonged.

By way of seeing a. little more
clearly into the matter, let us com

with the views of the Pennsylvania
Democracy, as promulgated in the
recent address of their State Central
Committee, who are presumed to re
present correctly the late Convention
("f which Mr. Stephens complains so
much) and the rank and file of the
parl y in that State. It is said to have
been written by Hon. Jeremiah S.
Black, one of the ablest statesmen and

this policy, which is attributed to the
Bank of England, would have an in

refrain from all interference in that
way with the regular movements of
commerce, which cause gold to flow

New York met at full speed,' both en
gines being destroyed, and the smoke
stack of one was thrown fully fifty
yards into a ditch. The New York
train ran off the up on to the down
track, and cut right into its vis-a-vis
and jumping from the track, bound
ed down an embankment into a ditch,
dragging with it the three foremost
cars. The cars of the other train were
completely telescoped. The furnace
of the up engiife set fire to the
wrecked carriages in the ditch, and
they were enveloped in a mass of
flame and smoke. The shrieks of the
passengers were awful. Assistance
was near at hand, however, and with
the aid of some men who were work
ing in the neighborhood, many were
extricated from their terrible posi
tion.
Three new cars on the train from
New York were entirely burned.—
The train from Newark contained
four cars, all full, which were teles
coped, injuring several passengers,
but none fatally. Four of the em
ployees were killed outright, viz:—
Frank: Keenan, and George Hill, en
gineers of both engines; Daniel
White, brakeman, and John Roeha-
tellow, fireman. A roundhouseman,
Samuel Taylor, was seriously injured,
and Wm. Hoofman, brakeman, seri
ously, but it is hoped, not fatally in
jured. The passengers most injured
were David Andorsun, Stephen Dick
erson, C. W. Juhnkle and Minnie
Garrity, an immigrant, but none fa
tally hurt. Several, others had nar
row, escapes and slight bruises.
•WHAT A PASSENGER SAYS.
A gentleman from New Y ork, who
was on the train going from that city,
at the time of the disaster, says he
was in tho rear ear at the time of the
disaster, and the first intimation he
had of the accident was a terrible
fihock, He was thrown over the seat
in front of him and somewhat
day, the newspaper offices having
been besieged with inquirers after
friends on tlie train. It is the gen
eral fueling that an investigation of
the strictest kiud should be made.

Times.
Bret Harte’s experience at Cambridge
betore Fhi Beta Kappa, is still tlie occas
ion of much talk about town. He has
been roundly censured and severely criti
cised in various quarters. But he has a
sid® to the story, a strong one, and one
which ought to be told. His friends as
sert that he was outrageonslv misled by
tne committee of the society. He was
informed of his election as a poet some
time ago, and strenuously urged to ac
cept, the point being dwelt upon
that he, would have until midsum
mer to write it, and the statement
made that Commencement was late
in July, the writer of the note for
getting, though a Cambridge man, th&t
the commencement time had been
changed from July to June. Bret Harte
accepted, but reluctantly, and after his
acceptance all communication with the
committee ceased ; no effort was made to
correct the misapprehension regarding
the date of commencement, and notbiug
w s told him concerning the arrange
ments for the day. A week or so before
Commencement he began his poem
having the impression that he had a
month before him. Happening in Bos
ton at this time, he accidentally learned
when Commencement actually was, and,
as cun be imagined, was consequently
immediately in an unenviable state of
mrnd. He hurried back to Newport and
tried, in the few days intervening, to
finish liis poem, but found it impossible.
So when the day came, the Thurs
day after Commencement, he se-
lected what he considered the best of
his unpublished poems and started for
Cambridge. Not being well acquainted
about here, on arriving in Boston he call
