The City of Athens recently gave 825.000

The Centennial in Congress.—The
bill uuw before this body does not seem to be
very popular. It asks for an appropriation of
one and a half million dollars as a gift of
the general government to a joint stock com
pany, the Philadelphia Centennial Commis
sion. The latter claims that this suin is
necessary to complete all the buildings and
perfect all the plans for this great American
exposition. The bill is declared to be un
constitutional.
Whether Congress gives a dollar to this
great enterprise, it nevertheless will surely
be a grand success. Our forty-three millions
of patriots will be fully represented there,
and each visitor will contribute at least one
“ mighty dollar” to fill the treasury of the
Centennial fund.
MB. HILL'S SPEECH.
We publish on our first page a full re
port of this grand effort of our representa
tive in Congress.
The meager telegraphic synopsis in our
last issue gave but a faint idea of the true
merits of this comprehensive and eloquent
vindication of the truths of history and no
ble defense of Southern honor. Some
few tiinid and wcak-liearted of our ex
changes have attempted to prove to their
readers that this speech would be disas
trous in its results to the political interests
of the South and the National Democratic
party. Wc cannot think so. If Mr. Hill
had retained his scat on the floor of Con
gress and not uttered a word of defense
against the foul slanders of the Republican
leader, Mr. Blaine, wc would have consid
ered him unworthy the naino of our repre
sentative.
If the National Democracy is to he pre
served by not allowing its Southern mem
bers upon the floor of Congress to tell
the truth when an appeal is made to history,
then let this party perish forever. The
South had rather be right, than lie in
power—had rather, on the floor of Con
gress, be true to the vital principle of
our Republic—the equality of the States,
true to the Constitution and true to-the
Union, .than to control the Government and
dispense..fbe. Joav.es and fishes to hungry
politicians frbip the White'House.
We consider Mr. Hill’s speech* not only
a complete vindication of the South, hut a
genuine • Centennial document. True re
conciliation between the North and South
caniiot be effected without a full explana
tion a thorough understanding of all
qnestions.in dispute. -

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
- [ZSROWAL COBM»POK"*Xr* 0» TUB OAOBSIAS.J ...
A* Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22. 1876.
As the readers of The Georgian would be
bht poorly entertained by • presentation of
monotonous summary of business which
has come before the General Assembly for their
consideration, we will only attempt to give
the general news in regard to our doings at
the seat of government. Perhaps the at
tention of the people of Georgia was never
more directed to its Legislature than at the
present time, and perhaps never did the
people meet such disappointment in the re
sults of their State legislation as they will
from the results of this present session of the
General Assembly. We hope not to be un
derstood from this assertion as placing the
present body below the average, or charging
upon them the slightest neglect of duty as
faithful representatives. This is by no
means our purpose. The great fiuancial
depression, the alarming drawback to our
progress and prosperity, which now so seri
ously threatens our Commonwealth, have in
duced our whole people not only to expect,
but absolutely demand of the Legislature the
enactment of such laws and the repeal of
sucli others as will bring to them the desired
relief. In this particular and to a great
degree will the tax payers of Georgia be dis
appointed. It is the spirit of this present
Legislature, perhaps more than any previous
one, to do that which will most tend to the
well-being of our citizeus, ever holding as
their highest duty such enactments as will
best protect the subjects of the government
they serve, at all times keeping in view the
fact that retrenchment and reform, such as
is true practical economy, and is and should
be the foundation principle in all true and
sound government. Still even with these
principles and these views ever serving as a
guide to their legislators, they will fall far
short of present expectations. And why, it
may be asked, will this lie theca»e? We
answer: First, because the defects in our fun
damental or constitutional law so unsettles
or interferes with our system of legislation as
to make it beyond the power of any Legisla
ture to afford that protection which au honest
people deserve, or give that relief which op
pressed tax payers so much need and desire.
Again, we apprehend that the people at large
have taken a wrong view as to how and from
what source their relief shall come, looking
to their General Assembly, when at last the
remedy lies with them and within their own
power. Upon looking into the matter of
| our present oppression as a State or as a
people, no doubt that a careful and impartial
investigation will demonstrate the fact that
the trouble at last is not in the State Govern
ment, but confined to the extravagance ot
our municipalities and respective counties.
Here the fault lies and here the reform must
begin. This reformation is within the easy
control of the people in whom the sovereign
right and power of control exists.
The Legislature may aid, hut it is not
necessary or expected under law that it
should inaugurate that which belongs to the
sovereign right and power of the tax-payers
to establish in and for their respective lo
cal governments. Lastly, on this jKiint, the
very foundation beginning for relief to our
daily increasing necessities as a people, ex
ists and depends upon the immediate re
cognition of the fact that we, as a State
and as a people, made an assignment through
the unfortunate results of revolution, and
then the speedy inauguration, both individ
ually and collectively, of a wise and sure
industry, a sound and prompt economy, as
the only certain relief and escape from our
bankruptcy. We would not create the im
pression that the Legislature should not aid
in this great needed reform amongst our
people. There is a line o! wisdom in re
form and retrenchment which the General
Assembly of Georgia should adopt at this
time, and wc trust, in the name of justice,
and the needy constituencies who have
honored their respective members with the
high positions of trust and confidence, that
the Legislature of 1875 and 1876 will not
fall short in their measure of duty and de
votion to our grand old Commonwealth.
THE HOMESTEAD.
The only measure of specially general in
terest which has as yet been discussed and
disposed of by the House, was the bill to
repeal the act of last session amending the
Constitution so as to reduec the homestead
to one thousand dollars. This measure had
its earnest advocates, but met witli such
opposition as to bring about its defeat by a
respectable majority.
NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
The hill creating a new judicial circuit
from the western and adjoining circuits will
no doubt pass and become a law, going im
mediately into effect.
TIIE BAR OF ATHENS
Is ably represented in the present session
of the Supreme Court by Messrs. Emory
Suker, C.iarles D. Hill, Lamar Conn
and Judge A. L. Mitchell. These are
promising and rising young members of the
bar, and no doubt the day is not far dis
tant when the State of Georgia will share
with Athens her pride in these her noble
citizeus and professionals.
THE GUBERNATORIAL QUK8IION
receiving due consideration, both
amongst the members of the Legislature
and those in attendance uj on the present
8es-ion. Gen. A. H. Colquitt seems, by
all odds, to he lending the field, and it is
now predicted by those who profess to he
judges as to those matters, that the General
will be brought iuto the Nominating Con
vention by such a following as to secure his
nomination at least upon the second ballot.
This will be a fortunate result, for Georgia,
and hut a just tribute on the part of the
State to one of her noblest, best, most pa
triotic and de.erving sons. With all on i
heart, we exclaim—so inote it be!
MR. HILL’S SPEECH.

and desultory correspondence without an

tinguished representative in Congress, the

but by far the ablest speech that has been
made in Congress for years. For one we
are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude,
that we have in Congress a Representative
who can to ably and effectively wield the
weapon of truth and history, vanquishing the
rauks of Republicanism with such wisdom,
justice, moderation, potency and effective
ness, as not only to draw onr Southernforces
in more solid phalanx, but to bring to our
aide, as uo doubt it will in its reaction upon
the Northern mind, strength from whence
opposition has heretofore existed. How un
wise, uncalled for, and I might add unsouth
ern and unpatriotic, have been the miserable
and unmanly criticisms and censures upon
the speech of Mr. Hill by several of the
Southern press, even in our and Mr. Hill’s
own State. This seems all the more unsouth
ern, inasmuch as many of the Northern press
could but do justice to the distinguished
Georgian, by way of commending this, bis
first and most able effort in our National
Council.

Washington, January 18, 1876.—It has
been given to Georgia to illustrate the records
of Congress by the triumph of her sous upon
that arena of high debate, riince the great
effort of Mr. Hill last Tuesday, I hnve been
running hurriedly through the Globe, and
other records of Congressional history, and
it is only front such sources that a just ap
preciation can be reached of the powerful
voice and influence that Georgia has always
had at Washington. For more than thirty
years past ('omitting the four years of war)
coming down to a period subsequent to the
great career of Crawfoid, through Berrien
and Stephens and Toombs, Georgia has stood
in the van of States in the character and
ubility of her representatives in both Houses.
For nearly a week past men all over the
country have been discussing the burst of
another magnificent sunshine from Georgia,
and to-day there are few men confronting so
splendid a national reputation as he whom
Georgians for a quarter of a century have
called “Ben” Hill, calling the name always
as if it synilNilized intellectual powers—em
bracing might iu argument, power of state
ment, eloquence of thought and “ action ”
(as Demosthenes meant it in oratory)—in
brief, as a very Spartacus in the arena of
politics us in the legal forum.
iN MR. HILL’S DEBUT
in Congress there has been nothing of har
lequin-like effrontery and eagerness to hur
riedly grasp Congressional honors. There
was in his manner as he rose at one o’clock
last Tuesday to address the House a pro
found solemnity which men feel only when
confronted hy high duty to which they come
with noble resolve. And the House shared
the solemnity of the occasion, especially those
from the South who felt deeply the foul cal
umnies of Blaine, uttered in even fouler lan
guage (if that be possible) the day before.
The scene was a memorable one, and in
future years, if put upon canvas, the picture
would be a proud one for Georgia as com
memorative of the day when one ot her sons
put to lasting shame the calumnies and re
proaches of her enemies. The Seunte Cham-
iter was deserted, and Senators of both parties
were early on the floor of the House and
eager to secure eligible seats. The attend*-
mice in the House was unusually full. Fring
ing the amphitheatre of the floor were the
galleries dense with eager humanity, divided
in desire and hnjie as to the outcome, but
animated by a common impulse ot expect
ancy of a display which should be powerful
in its consequences of good or evil. The
space in front of the Speaker was filled wth
men conspicuous in the hi- tory ot the past,
and others who have been prominent in
making the history of our times. Imme
diately in front of Mr. Hill was seen the
strong, gnarltd face of ex-Senator Gwin, of
California, drawn tor the first time this ses
sion to the Capital, wearing, despite its
characteristic air ot imperturbable repose and
practiced unconcern, a visible expression of
blended confidenceaud anxiety. Ex-Senator
Henry S. Foote, who in age haunts like a
ghost the Capitol, where in his young man
hood he found the theatre for the melodrama
of his life of cheap political reputation, sat
just in front of the Clerk’s de>k. The noble
face of Gordon was seen in close proximity
to the handsome, clear-cut features of Ran
som, and it was impossible for the Southern
spectator to forego the indulgence of honest
pride as he looked at these representative
Southern Senators who have done such noble
service for their people in field and forum,
as they sat the centre of a coterie of South
ern members who gravitated towards them,
impelled hy the iustiuct that prompts true
men to seek contact and communion with
those that illustrate truth and duty and
courage. As close to Mr. Hill as he could
get was Senator Capertou, of West Virginia,
Hill’s old confrere in the Confederate Senate.
THE GEORGIA MEMBERS
were variously located in places of close
proximity to Mr. Hill. Gallant Phil Cook,
who the day before had indignantly told
Blaine that thousands of victims of the suf
ferings endured in Northern prisons could be
lound in “ Georgia alone,” when the noisy
mouthed demagogue and blusterer had
denied that Confederate prisoners had suf
fered, had surrendered his seat to Mr. Hill,
and sat with his face to his eniiiieut colleague.
Across the narrow aisle sat Hartridge, calm
and erect; Harris sat close to Hill, to help
him with the authorities he required in his
argument; Smith sat in his owu seat, closely
watching the scene with more or less anxiety
upon his countenance; Blount and Candler,
whose seats are adjacent, were absorbed listen
ers and spectators—Blount with his head
upon his hand, his face betraying no partis
cular emotion, and Candler, with his face
wearing that curious equivoke of expression
that utterly forbids one to know whether he
is pleased or disj leased, entertained or an
noyed, amused or disgusted. Dr. Felton
occupied his accustomed seat, and the floor
held no more delighted listener to the noble
oration of his old class-mate. The Doctor
can hardly be said to have illustrated the
decorum of the House that day, as I saw
him more than once applaudiug iu a very
hearty and demonstrative manner.
AS THE SPEECH CONTINUED
I closely watched its effect. In fifteen min
utes from its begiuning all anxiety had dis
appeared from the face of Southern men.
“ He’s coming to time, aud is as good a
champion as we want,” said the manly
Parsons, of Kentucky. “ What a man Hill
must be in the courthouse,” said Waddell,
of North Carolina, as the full weight of the
powerful argument developed. “ He is an
ideal speaker,” said the veteran Chas. James
Faulkner, “ and enmes fully up to my ex
pectations." Mr. Faulkner is himself one of
the most accomplished orators and debaters
in the country, and it Was a compliment, in
deed, when further on he turned and said,
•• Hill is a man of wonderful power.” Proc
tor Kpott quietly turned to Waddell with
the remark, “ That man is • giant.”
THE REPUBLICANS .‘I
were curiously uneasy during the speech*
Blaine looked hacked badly, as he unques
tionably was. and it required two day* to give
him such complete recovery as was' required
for the blustering rowdyism in which he ap
peared in character on Thursday. Several
times Mr. Hill was interrupted from the Re
publican side with questions, but the latter
were quick to see that he rather courted than
avoided interruptions, and let him severely
alone until the end of his speech.
THE SPEECH
would excite po surprise before a Georgia
audience acquainted, with Mr. Hill’s oratori
cal power. Here it is pronounced on all
hands a remarkable effort. The argument
was severely close, and no Republican speak
er has been able to make the slightest im
pression upon Its massive front. The
peroration is A magnificent appeal for har
mony, and a splendid expression of the
broadest and best American sentiment.
THE EFFECT.
Mr. Hill is the reci ient by every mail of
letters and newsp:q*ers from every sectiou ol
the country full of congratulations and
thanks. Some of the most earnest of these
congratulatory letters are from Union sol
diers, who say iu substance that Mr. Hill has
performed a double duty of |>at riot ism in
vindicating a section of the country from
shameful calumny, and in making a power
ful plea for national sentiment everywhere.
Prominent Northern Democrats are pleased
with the speech; they will no longer have
to fight the “ Andersonville horrors” with
which Radical majorities in the remote rural
districts have so often been multiplied.
“ Andersonville,” they say, “ will soon Ik*
come a stale lie.” Twenty thousand copies
of the speech have been ordered for early
distribution in the North.
BLAINE’S OVERTHROW.
Perhaps.the roost fatally damaged man in
the country is Mr. Blaine, as the result of
this debate which he so wickedly and unwise
ly forced upon the House. As a presi
dential candidate he is palpably hors du com
bat; as a parliamentary expert Kundall gives
him a hard fight always, and frequently
masters him; as a dehater Cox and Hill
have demolished him. He has lost his dig
nity, lo.-t his tem|>er, and lost his self-respect.
Hereafter he will lie simply “Jim Blaine,
the parliamentary bully and brawler.”
N’Importe.
The negroes in Gordon county had the
impudence to steal a whole ox the other day;
and they got very angry when the owner put
in a claim for the hide ami horns. They
have doubtless written to Grant about it.
