ELLIOTT. Geu’l Sup’t 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. ATTICUS G. llaygood.

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. CAIt’iEIiSYILLE, OEOitOIA, THURSDAYMOiiMXG, D2CE3MBK23, 1875. GEOBCIE R PENDLETOIt His Views on the I’olitics of the Day anti the Presidency. Mr. Pendleton was in Atlanta a few days since, and while (here he was interviewed by a Herald repor ter. We make the following ex tracts: ?dr. Pendleton is very positive in his belief that the Democrats can carry the country next full, but equal ly as positive that the Democracy in order to and > tiffs must be thoroughly united. With the Democracy of the Eisf, sty. 4 h*, antagonised with tlie Democracy of tie.* West, or vice versa, anything like ;* victory D out of tlie question. We must come together and make the fight shoulder toshoul 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.
