BAD EOADS.
The Most Important Ouestien of tl lo
Times.
From tlie Atlanta Constitution.]
Waiting at Opelika, Ala., this;
morning, December 9, for the Atlan
ta train I read in a Montgomery pa
per that the cotton receipts of last
week were short because the roads
were impassible. Perhaps there is 1
n.ii a market town in Alabama or
Georgia of which a similar statement
might not be written. Now, in a
civilized country the public roads—!
except in cases .of extraordinary!
floods and storms—should never be |
impassible. When roads are impas-l
-ibie for loaded wagons on account of
ordinary rains, something is wrong, j
.such a state ot things might be par
donubie in a newly settled country, '
but in an oid .State —one of the “orig
inal thirteen,” setting up to be the |
“Empire State of the South”—never, j
In Georgia bad roads are a public
advertisement of our folly and lack j
of enterprise.
The more one reflects on this mat-'
ter the more he will be amazed that
we have been “stalling and breaking
down ’ in fathomless mudholes or
ei-u giving it up altogether for gen
erations. We have lost enough first
and last on account of bad roads in
Georgia to have paid the State debt!
twice over. He who denies this has j
c -t a.-: one may suppose, considered I
the matter fully.
What ..re these faitriers doing
about Montgomery and elsewherej
while waiting for the roads to dry? !
Little or nothing. They can’t plow
tor the ground is too wot. Only
count up the loss of time occasioned
by tiiis waiting. And their creditors
must wait with them ; wail for the
roiu to dry. Some of them will “go
to j: re test” while they ate waiting,
in a vr weeks maybe, when the
ground is dry enough to plow, the
roads will be dry enough to travel.
By the time they return from mar
ket, if will be raining again, and
then fiie plowing must wait tiii the
ground gets dry again. Much of the
plowing will never be done. And so
we wait for winter suns to get our
roads iu order, whereas >ve ought to
make them so good that they will'
never get badly out of order. Hun
dreds of times have 1 seen as heavy 1
loads moving into Nashville, Ten
nessee, over the turnpikes, in the i
depths of winter and in the midst of ;
a six weeks “sped of weather,” with
r. in and snow and slush as they :
could haul in in midsumm r. Can’t !
we do as well in Georgia? if nut j
let usque: our big talk about “The;
Empire Stale of the Soutth.”
'Lode Johnny Fry,” as he was!
1 and by many friends, was a Hard
b M Baptist preacher, well known j
in Western Georgia. The survivors j
of the* “Seventh Georgia” of the!
army of Virginia, in 1801, will re-;
member him. He was an odd and
original genius. He was a real char
acter—eha-e/W-er lie would have said,
fie was reading his text on one Bun- j
nay. and came upon the words of the |
steward di,-placed for unfaithfulness: '
“I e.umnt dig—to beg lam ashamed.” j
Uncle Johnny had fixed up a sermon
for lazy boys. He rea l again: “1
cannot dig,” and commented as if
talking to himself: “Cannot dig, in
deed ! You lazy thing! Won’t dig
is what’s the matter with you.”
Now, if we “Empire State” people,
spend our days waiting for the sun \
to make our roads passible, “won’t,”
not “can’t” is the word to employ.
Bad roads turn trade away where
roads not so bad can be found. A
business man in Covington, com-:
mooting on my first article, said:
“A great deal of trade lias been turn
ed away from us beeouse of a bad
bridge over a little river eio.se by.”
And that bridge has been bid for half
a generation at- least.
An ex-Confederate congressman
said to me: “The row!- of a country
are an index of its ei viiiz ttion.”
And yet in the winter and •is not a
good road in his county, while two
good colleges in one mile of ids house
tell their students about the grand
highways of Greece and Home and
Ezypttwo thousand years ago.
An ex-judge in Atlanta, said:
“The pian is practicable. We can
| makegood roads with convict labor.”
■ Then let it be done.
The Constitution punished my bad
! chirogrnpny by making me say
I “Egnolion” for “Egnatian,” and
- “we wager” for “we get.” Now, I
| don’t bet on anything—horses, cot
i ton, elections, lotteries, rutiles, at
j home or abroad, at church fairs, or
: anywhere, or anyhow. 1 would
nearly as soon take some of the
1 “short-cuts” ia vogue now-a-days for
getting money without earning if,
or settling debts without paying
- them. But I will venture to say that
• good roads ought to be made in
i Georgia—that, "therefore, they can
be name—that convict labor can
make them good—that convict labor
will do more general good this way
than in any other —that “hiring out”
its convicts is a small business for tlie
“Empire Stnte”—that we cannot well
manage our penitentiary system
j worse than we have done in the pasD
—that convict labor making good
reads will compete with no form of
skilled labor —that good roads will
invite immigration and stay, if not
stop emigration that they wiii
greatly increase our productions, and
in many ways add largely to the
prosperity of the whole people.
“Difficulties in the way?” Cer
tainly; but it is the business of “the
Empire State” to conquer difficulties.
How shall we go about it? How
shall this convict labor be distribu
ted, divided, sustained? To answer
such questions is the business of the
worthy gentlemen we elect to the
legislature. The legislature who
I utilizes by the operation of a wise
law, our convict tabor to make good
roads for the people will build for
himself an imperishable monument.
Let us mend our ways —our roads
and our morals.

THE OHIO
The Father cf George 11. Pendleton a
Georgian.
Judge Richard H. Clark, of At
lanta, furnishes the Augusta Chroni
cle &, Sentinel with the following
sketch of Mr. Pendleton’s ancestry:
Atlanta, December 14.
Tliose who heard George 11. Pen
dleton’s speech last night at the Kim
ball House were surprised when lie
said: “Although iny birth and home
have been in Ohio, and family ties
have been in Virginia and New!
my immediate ancestors are
not unknown in the military, judi
cial and political fame of Georgia,
and I iie.-sire to come and pay my
homage to tlie State which was the
home of my grandfather and the
cradle of my father, as reverently as
l bow over ids grave north of tHe j
Ohio.” It is strange that as long as
Mr. Pendleton has been in public;
life, during which he has become a'
national celebrity, that his con nee-!
tion with Georgia has not been
known and published. Stronger yet
is it, that havnig this connection he
has not visited Georgia before. Tim 1
effect must have been to attach Geor
gians to him, and from hence there
would have gone out to the surround
ing States a deep and strong feeling
in his favor. Descended from a good,
old and famous Virginia stock—with
his grandfather, Judge Nathaniel I
Pendleton, a citizen of Georgia, and '
holding her high*st offices—with his
father born upon her soil, and during |
the war of 1812 an a id-de-camp of
General Gaines, he is no more a nor
therner in lineage, than is an Afri- :
can born in France a Frenchman.:
i he historical facts relating to Mr. !
Pendleton’s immediate ancestry are j
so interesting to Georgians that 1 f*-el
warranted in calling the public at
tention to them. A few months ago j
a friend asked me “is the Nathaniel i
Pendleton mentioned in ‘Miller’s j
Bench and Bar of Georgia,’ as the 1
last of the Chief Justices under tlie
then Judicial system of the State, and
he of the same mini l who was the!
second of Hamilton in the duel with !
Burr, the same person, and if so why
is it that in Georgia we hear nothing
of a Pendleton until after the revo
lution, and when we do hear of him
he is filling some of xlie most im-j
portant offices in the State 1” 1 could 1
not answer these questions, but act-!
ing upon them I began researches!
for their solution. I was soon satis- ■
lied that the .fudge* Pendleton,„of \
Georgia, and the Judge Pendleton, of!
New York was identical. But the!
place of his nativity, under what cir
cumstances he came to, and leftGeor- j
gia, were not so easily answered. He 1
was as I said) a native of Virginia,
and served on the staff of Gen. Na
-4 Daniel Greene during the revolution.
At any rate he was so serving when
tlie war closed, and had been for
one time. In the resolution of Con
gress, volin;* General Greene a gold
medal, the General's aids received
a s i the thanks of that body for their
valor at Eutaw and other* battles.—
Among tiiest aids will he found the
names of Captain Pendleton. As
win n the war closed, General Greene
made Georgia his home, it is reason
aide to sup pose that, on account of
the friendship existing between him
self and Captain Pendleton, of his
military family, that tlie Captain
also chose Georgia ns his future home
and began here to practice his pro
fession of law. In the year 1780 In*
was appointed by Governor Edward
Telfair the Attorney-General of tlie
State. In 1789 he was appointed the
Chief Justice of tin* State and served
until 1792, when he was succeeded
by John Houston as Judge of the
Superior Court und- r anew sy deni
then ju-ff inaugurated. Aooi.it
this time Judge Pendleton was ap
pointed, by President Washington,
Judge of the United Sfides Court ba
the District of Georgia, m which
office he served unlii his removal to
New York. This must have oc-'-urred
in the very latest years of the la-4
century, or the very first of tid-g as.
in 1594, the chit i between Hamilton
and Burr was fought. Judge Peu
dieton’s wife was a New York lady,
and litis \ve may infer was the in
fluence which carried him thither.
While in Georgia,,or at least for the
most part of the time, he resided at
Savannah. It was during his resi
dence there, and <u that place, that a
son was born to him,whom he named
alter His beloved and lamented chief
—Nathaniel Greene Pendleton. This
son was the father of George 11. Pen
dleton, now on a visit to his father’s
native soil. After the war of 1812—
—to-wit, in 1810—he located iu Cin
cinnati, inhere George 11. was born.
While Judge Pendleton was residing
in Savannah General Greene died
suddenly at the Mulberry Grove
plantation, twelve miles north of the
city on the .savannah river.
ilis body was taken to Savanna!)
for interment, and the funeral took
place, as tradition lias it. and as pub
lished in the life of Gen. Greene,
from tlie residence of his friend Judge
Pendleton, but this must have been
before he was promoted to the bench.
Little was it thought, as the fun *ral
procession moved from Judge Pen
dleton's resilience, that the body the
mourners were following, and hon
oring, would disappear from its rest
ing place, so teat until tills day ir is
a mystery; and “no man knoweth
his sepulchre.” Perhaps, when Air.
Pendleton visits Bavannah he may
find the home yet standing from
which that funeral moved,
lu view of the foregoing facts, well
may Mr. Pendleton be impressed to
the extent of saying, “He desired to
pay his homage to the cradle of iiis
father as reverently as he would how
over his grave.” ilis visit being of
such a nature, he should be warmly
welcomed by every citizen of Geor
gia, and the civilities extended to
; him should not be of the ordinary
sort. Richard 11. Clark.
The St. Louis Republican copies
from the New Orleans Times an ac
count of the progress of Capt. Eads’
; work for the deepening of the South
Pass at the mouth of the Mississippi,
and says: “Capt. Eads himself, now
in St. Louis, is in high spirits as to
the success which has been attained,
and we are glad to congratulate him,
as well as the people of the West and
South —indeed, of Lie whole country
—upon tiie prospect of the early and
successful completion of this impor
tant national enterprise.”
Tiie municipal election in Newuan
resulted in the selection of M. L
Thomas for mayor by four majority,
and E 11. .Hardaway, J. M. Glass,
John Dumbar and J. W. Powel, al
dermen.
If the presidential campaign con
tinues to develop liveliness at the rate
of the past lew days, there will be
music in the air three or four months
from now.

der, with all differences of opinion
lost in some common ground of uni
ty. Und r these circumstances there
is nothing surer than that we shall
succeed.
Reporter—But do you think, Mr.
E’endieton, that there is any “com
mon ground” on which the Democ
racy can lost* its differences, and make
a close fight ?
Mr. Pendleton—Assuredly there is.
It G, of course, out of tlie question to
delineate just now the lea to res of
such a platform. T ial is a matter
for consultation and care. But tin*
chief difference, just now, is upon tlie
currency question.
Now, as to that, I say, and >< r
haps have ;ho right to know, that
NINE -TENTHS OF TUB I’KOFLK OF
OHIO
want to see a return to a specie bans.
But t hey want to see tiie return grad
ual and natural. They want no fur
ther forced contraction; they want to
see the country reach a specie basis
through the simulation of its indus
tries, the a Ivanco of its property val
ues, tno development of its produc
ing pov no, and not by tlie contrac
tion of its currency, which will sure
ly paralyze its most material growth,
deaden its energies, and produce stag
nation.
Tin* Democrats of the East cannot
ask for more than tiffs. They do not
themselves favor a forced and unnat
ural resum pi ion-a. resumption achiev
ed over a cripph i and suffering peo
ple. Senator Bayard, himself, says
that no man can name a fixed day at
which the country will reach isspecie
basis. A day may be named on
which
ALL VALUE.-! MAY BE FORCED
to a specie basis, but such an exercise '
of government power would bo wan
ton, unwise and malignant.
A plank, recognizing the necessity
of a return to a fixed specie basis, and !
promising to local the country to such
a basis as soon as it can be reached not- [
urally, and without doing violence to
the pa lie interests, would, I believe,
be all ih u would be needed on tliut !
sueject, Ii a platform that would!
commend the support of the Demo- 1
cr.it- of nil sections.
I top an or —What will be done about
the Resumption Act, which names
’79 as the redemption year, per force?
It cannot be repealed, certainly not
over the President’s veto?
Mr. Pendf. ton—lt is not necessary
to repeal it. It is incomplete, im
practicable, and inoperative as it
stands. The Secretary of tlie Treas
ury stated iu his Lust report that to
complete preparations to fulfill that
act as it low stee d-, would disturb
the monetary condition of die world,
Unit it could not be done. lie* then
goes oa to ask that (2ongr< -o author
ize him to issue long bonds of the
govern miVJt to the amount of 82,099,-
t >O9 per month Iffr tin* purpose of eon
trading the currency by funding the
iegal tender notes. Tne President,
fee iguizing til it the act as it n r,v
siainL is io qieiative and dead, en
dorses the recommendation of the
Secretary in Ids mes-age.
Wiii! tuis i icompiete.and bungling
act, not sir ngtiieneri by amendment,
it is a dead let or its ?s*pe,d ■ not
neede !. fine i)oin*crat.s in ty easily
v-ceil it n.s :i stan..is, by declining to
: "ge:.iU' Kir :i* i* upon it. Without
die am *n i :i *:,ts as!: nl for, it is im
possible* Us;n the act cm be carried
oilt.
It will be tiie sum of folly to pass
tiie recommendation of the President.
To substitute an interest bearing
bond fir lor a non-interest bearing
greenback is a folly; when the sub
stitution runs Iffgimnto the millions,
and is practiced upon a nation groan
ing under debt, it is a crime, i have
no fear that Congress will do any
thing of the sort. I believe that,
upon a platform demanding a return
to specie basis, but demanding with
equal firmness that the return shall
be gradual, and shall be achieved
rather by the stimulation of indus
tries than by t;,e contraction of Lie
currency—upon such a platform, J
say, the Democracy can, in my opin
ion, be united and carry the country
triumphantly.
Newspapers,
In a very interesting composition
on “Newspapers,” read by Miss A Hie
Reid at tiie closing exercises of the
i 'raw ford vide Academy, November
B-Jt!i, and published in tlie Madison
Horne Journal, we find tlie following
fine tribute to newspapers i:i general:
Whatan institution a newspaper is!
How full of philosophy, fun, frolic,
wit and humor, to say nothing of in
struction. \\ nut a bonanza of intel
lectual riches it brings to the old,
young and middie-aged. A newspa
per is a mirror of the world and its
every day scenes. Without it there
can be no no such thing as real enjoy
ment of life. Who would be vvi'li
out one lor the little pittance paid for
its subscription price? would not,
lam sure. It is emphatically the
institution of the day, which no wed
posted man, woman or family can
afford to be without. In this age of
steam, telegraph and balloons, a
newspaper becomes one of the prime
11 eeessi1 1 es of 1 ife ; it teaches us what
is going on in the outside world —
who preaches grand sermons, who
maites the best speeches, where good
schools can be found, what fashiona
ble watering places will be most vis
ited, where the best fruit is grown
and sold, w hat styles of dress will be
most fashionable, what hats, what
bonnets, w liat shoes, and, indeed, all
articles of each ami every variety
making up the apparel of a wed
dressed lady or gentleman, tjues
tions of finance discussed, business
out-looks presented. And all tins in
formation put in suen simplified
forms and shapes as to make one
: wonder why everybody is not a good
financier, speaker, writer, preacher,
i teacher, dress-maker or milliner.
We learn from Mr. Hoff that a
gentleman by the name of Nam Hili
lunise has struck a rich gold mine in
Cherokee comity. This mine is said
to yield five hundred dollars to the
ton, and is as rich as tiie one ow ned
by . Mr. (J. Dial, mentioned iu our
columns not long since.
Ez-Confederates in Congress,
Chicago Tribune
The Confederate Congress is repre
sented in the Forty-Fourth Congress j
of the United States by John Goode, ,
.Jr., of Virginia; Thomas S. Ashe, of j
North Carolina; Ben. H. Hill, of i
Georgia; Otho It. Singleton, of Mis-1
sissippi; Robert A. Hatcher, of Mis
souri; John D. C. Atkins, of Tennes-1
see; A. T. Caperton, of West Vir-1
ginia; and Mr. Fitzhugh, of Texas,
who was the Sargeant-at-arins in the
Confederate Congress; and although ;
the Democratic nominee for chap- i
lain, the Rev. J. L. Townsend, was
never in the Confederate service, he !
was forced to vacate his rectorship!
in Connecticut because he refused to j
read prayers for the President and \
for the success of the Union arms.
The Confederate army has fur
nished a goodly squad of recruits for
the Forty-fourth Congress. Lannam, j
in the preface of his skeleton sketches ;
of the new Congress says that “twen- j
ty-six served in the Confederate ar
my.” But the official rosters of the
C. S. A. in the archives of the War :
Department tell a different story, and :
show that among the “wearers of the j
grey were: Adj. Gen. George Gold
thwaite, Brig. Gen. W. H. Forney,
Col. Tau! Bradford, Col. G. W. Hew
itt, Col. B. B. Lewis, and Maj. J. N.
Williams, of Alabama; Brig. Gen.
Vv. F. Siemens, Col. L. F. Gause and !
Maj. Thomas F. Gunter, of Arkan- j
-as; ?daj. Gen. John B. Gordon, Col.
J. Hartridge, Col. I’. Cook and Capt. i
W. E. Smith, Georgia; Lt. Col. J. ri. i
C. Blackburn, of Kentucky ; Maj. !
Gen. R. E. Gibson, Coi. W. W. Le
vy, and Capt. John Ellis, of Louisi
ana; Brig. Gen. J. L. Alcorn, Col.
L. Q. C. Lamar, and Col. C. E. Hook- j
or, of Mississippi; Rrig, Gen. John !
B. Clark and Capt. B. J. Franklin, I
of Missouri; Maj. Gen. Malt H. Ran-!
sum, Brig. Gen. A. M. Scales, Brig. '
Gen. Z. B. Vance. Col. W. M. Rob
bins, and Lieut. Col. A. M. Waddell,
of North Carolina; Brig. Gen. G. B.
Dibbrell, Col. W. C. Whitthorne,
Col. Casey Young, Lieut. Col. Da
vid M. Key, and Lieutenant-Colonel
John 1). C. Atkins, of Tennessee;
Maj. Gen. S. B. Maxev, Brig. Gen.
James W. Throckmorton, and Col.
D. B. Culverson, ot Texas; and Brig.
Gen. Eppa Hunter, Brig. Gen. Wrn.
Terry, Col. Robert E. Withers, Col.
J. C. Faulkner, Col. George C. Ca
bell. and Capt. Beverly B. Douglass,
of Virginia.
Some of the above mentioned Con
gressmen were in the Confederate
ranks at the first battle of Bull Run,
and served until the great surrender
at Appomatox Court House. A
number w'ere severely wounded, and
have lost limb?.
Another Paper in Newnan,
M. M. Barron, late of the Franklin
Hews, is about to start anew paper at
Newnan, there being two there al
ive iy. The Griffin Fitch, who is
publishing ih oStar, gives Barron this
kindly greeting:
We were in the war are! saw a !
good many brave and daring deeds.
We have seen personal difficulties in
which much courage was displayed.
But the crowning act of personal
bravery is exhibited by theannounce
mem which we publish iu our ad
vertising columns that 3lr. M. M.
Birron will start anew paper in j
Newnan on the 7rh day of the On-1
teunial year, 1879, to tie called the j
Newnan Weekly Slade. As Mar
shal Dent is not very sociable, and as
Judge Welch is too oid to love, we
cheerfully hike Brother Barron into
our friendly embrace, and will en
courage him with the observation
that he has as good a right to starve
i. *re as elsewhere, a id w * don’t
know of a better opening. In re
commending Mr. Barmn to our
friends and subsi fibers, we take pleas
ure in saying that lie is a nice man
every way, and a pretty good print- !
er, though we have seen better. To
our i-.red it subscribers we especially!
iv:* > nineml him, and to our dead
head iLt, as there is no danger of
losing them, no matter how much
they patronize him. We have said
this much in behalf of Brother Bar
ron, but mainly because in such a
benighted section as this, another
paper is almost an absolute necessity.
Come to our arms, brother Barron,
quick.
Is It a New Departure ?
New York, Dec. 11.—A special
from Washington says the Demo
crats are generally accepting the idea
that they should fall in with the
President’s suggestion of the Consti
tutional amendment prohibiting the
support of sectarian schools out of
pufiiie moneys, and at a meeting of
tin* Democratic Association of the
District of Columbia, last night, the
first step towards such a movement
was taken by the introduction of res
old!! ns stating that the free school
system of the United Slates is the
brightest star in the galaxy of the re
public, and that upon its mainte
nance and perpetuity depend the
present and future of the American
people; that the Democratic party
always has and at all times hereafter,
will resist all attempts looking to a
division of the public school fund, no
matter for what purpose; that the
Democratic party has ben, is now and
always will be ia favor of free schools,
free press, free speech, free trade and
gold and silver as the only constitu
tional money of the nation, paper
money being the illegitimate off
spring of the Republican party.
A correspondent of the Savannah
News nominates Gen. Hancock for
president on t .is platform:
1. No third term.
2. A sound currency commensu
rate to our wants, based upon nation
al faith and integrity and receivable
for all dues.
o. Abolition of tho corrupt system
of national banks and the substitu
tion therefor of local State banks.
4. Liberty of conscience and free
dom to worship God, and no union
of politics and religion.
5. The rights of the States not
ceded to tlie federal government, to
manage their own internal'affairs,
especially common schools and re
ligious matters.
6 The results of the war so far as
secession, emancipation, and the con
stitutional amendments in regard to
the colored race.
