ABE WE A NATION ?
A Compromise Resolution Adopted on
the Sabject.
In the House of Hpprpsentatis-es
-n the 13th inst. Ur. Baker, of In
diana, offered the following resold,
tion:
Resolved, That the people of the
United States, constitute one nation
and not a mere Confederacy of States
i constitution was
i R>nned by the people acting in their
• primary and individual capacity
through their delegates thereto duly
constituted; that the Government
; under the Constitution is one of the
I people, by the people and for the
: people; and that in its appropriate
sphere the Government of this na
tion is sovereign and supreme; that
in its nature it is permanent and in
dissoluble except by the action and
consent of the whole people; that no
State has any right or authority to
judge of the constitutionality of
laws enacted by Congress or to nulli
fy the execution of the same; and
that all other acts by any State or
people thereof of secession there
from, or of rebellion again the same,
constitute treason, and that the late
war ot the rebellion, for the dismem
berment of the Union, was causeless
and indefensible on any theory ot
right or of constitutional law.
He moved the rules be suspended
and the resolution adopted, and he j
called for the yeas and nays, which 1
were ordered.
Mr. Stone, of Maine, moved the
house adjourn. Rejected.
Mr. Cox asked whet her The resolu
tion was divisible.
_ The Speaker responded that a mo
tion to suspend the rules and adopt a |
resolution was not divisible.
Mr. Cox asked whether it was in
order to read from the Constitution
these word*: “Done in convention
by the unanimous consent of the
States.
“George Washington.”
The Speaker replied that that
would be in the nature of a debate
and was not in order.
The motion to suspend the rules
and adopt the resolution was rejected
—yeas, 91; nays 72, two-xhirds not
having voted in the affirmative.
Very few Democrats voted for it.
Among them were Messrs. Durand,
Uardenburg, Jenks, Nev, Phelps,
Potter, Vance, of Ohio, and S. S.
Williams, of Michigan. AH the Re
publicans voted for it, all the South
ern Democrats against, and 'most all
the Northern Democrats refrained
from voting.
Before the vote was announced,
Mr. Baker called the attention of the
chair to the fact that many members
were present who were not voting,
and he made the point of order that
they be compelled to vote. *
The Speaker overruled the point of
order.
Mr. Randall remarked that there
was a good deal of truth in the reso
lution, and alftO a good deal of false
principle.
The result of the vote was then an
nounced. The foilovving is the nega
tive:
Messrs. Ashe, Atkins, Beebe,
Blackburn, Bland, Blount, Boone,
Bright, Brown, of Kentucky, Cabell,
Caldwell, of Alabama, Caldwell, of
Tennessee, Chandler, Cate, Clarke of
Kentucky, Cook, Cowan, Culberson,
Debolt, Dibrell, Douglas, Ellis, Eel

liams of Indiana, Williams of Ala

Mr. Cox, of New York, then of
fered the following resolutions:
liesofved, That the people of the
United States constitute a nation in
the sense, to the extent and for the
purposes defined in the Federal Con
stitution.
Resolved , That the Government of
the United States is a Federal Union,
and was formed by the people of the
several States in their sovereign ca
pacity; that the rights and powers
of the United States Government are
defined anti limited by the Federal
Constitution, and these rights and
powers cannot be enlarged or dimin
ished except by amendment to the
Constitution.
Helloed, That the rights of the
ytutes have thu same sanction of se
curity in the Constitution as the
r \ s ami t p‘ nv t ocaf do -
uiestic government by the several
States within tlie limits of the Con
stitution, is absolutely necessary for
the preservation of the liberties oi
citizens, and continuance of our Re
pubiican system of Government.
Resolved, That the doctrine that
any State has the right to secede from
the Union, is in conflict with the idea
of a perpetuation, as contemplated
by the Constitution, and should be
regarded as being forever extin- <
g uTSfICG ny flic rccult uf the rueent
civil conflict.
Mr. Holman called for the yeas
and nays, and they were ordered.
Mr. Blaine expressed the hope that
every union man in the House
would vote against the resolution.
The motion to suspend the rules
and adopt the resolution was adopt
ed-yeas, lot); nays, 42. The Demo
crats and a few of the Republicans
voted for the resolution. Among the
.Republicans voting “aye” were
Messrs. Kelley, Leavenworth. Mc-
DJII, Phillips* of Kansas, Platt,
Townsend, of Pennsylvania, Wii
liard, W, B. Williams, of Michigan,
and Wilson. The rest of the .Repub
licans voted “no.”
Gen. Gordon’s Revenue Bill.
—The Boston Adaertiser does not
agree with the turbulent demagog
ues of its party concerning Gen.
Gordon’s revenue bill. This pap e
says:
“All the revenue officers are now
republicans. Suppose this Lull
passed, will it not give a life ten tore
to members of the pany now in
power? Is not General Gordon fool
ish to propose a measure which, de
bars his party from doing more than
fill vacancies? The fact is as every
body can see, that Senator Gordon is
making a proposition which, so far
from exposing him justly to the
charge of partisanship, would render
it impossible to till these offices on
partisan grounds, and which gives
them all in the first place, for an in
definite period into the hands of the
author’s politieial opponents. But
the only worthy reason for advocat
ing the proposition is, that it is wise
■and rignb”
Georgia Lawmakers.
The Legislature *nd Its Work.
[Front the Washington (Wilkes County) Ga
zette, j
The Legislature of Georgia has ad
journed after one ot the’most remark
able sessions on roe mi. Remarkable,
not for what it did, not for the use
ful laws enacted, not for the amount
of work and good accomplished, but
for the amount left undone, for
not doing work which was and has
been for years imperatively demand
ed by the people of the State, This
Legislature has been remarkable, all
through its cojurse, at its session lad
year and again this year, for an exhi
bition of intimidity and faltering not
compatible with true patriotism and
! genuine statesmanship. The vast
majority of the members seem to
have been infi v sued more by fear
than by a determination to do" ' right
and to enact such laws as they in
their own candid judgments, believ
ed to bo best for the State and peo- ]
pie. Every measure of great impor- i
tance which came up seemed to ae i
too great for the mastery of our leg
islators. The entire session was frit
ted away by passing local laws
of no general interests or importance j
to the Hkiteat large, by changing the •
code so as to confuse lawyers and '
make litigation more intricate, tedi- j
cus and uncertain than ever, and by
passing acts which makes the laws
| of almost every individual county
; distinct and different from the laws
which govern the other counties.
| There were only a few subjects
brought before the body of great im
portance and which required any
special display of statesmanship.
There were a few acts which were
j imperatively demanded of this Leg
i Isb.itare and these facts failed in their
passage through the timidity of ti>°
bodv, or through a worse idtruenee.
We believe that Gaudily was the
cause of *i-ir failure, and not that
{bo members were influenced by any
base motive. The members were
afraid of the voice of the people.
Tnev were afraid that their acts
would iiot. be approved by the peo
ple and that they would lose their
individual popularity and not receive
the votes of their constituents for any
other office. Whenever officeholders
are influenced by any such fear, they
are certain to meet the fate they so
much dread, and be relieved by the
people from toe performance of of
ficial duty. There is nothing more
fatal to the aspirations of a politican
than an apparent dread of his con
stituents. The man who has depen
dence of character sufficient to do
what he considers right, and who
does not love office so devotedly that
his fear of loosing it makes him in
efficient, is the man who will main
tain the respect of his constituents
and always obtain their suffrage,
provided he has the inability to
know what is right and the brains
to discern the true from the false, nis
acts will always speak for him. We
regret that the last Legislature had
few such men in either branch, and
the session has been wasted in doing
nothing.
I lad the pari v performed one single
duty, which hii* been so forcibly urg
ed upon for several years, the mem
bers through whose influence the
duty was done would stand far bet
ter in a estimation of all than do
those -to-day whose influence and
votes prevented its eccomplisment.
We refer to the passage of an act
either calling a convention of the
people to frame a constitution for
the State, or allowing the people to
say by their votes' whether they
would have such convention or would
prefer to live on under the present
instrument, which is no more a con
stitution of the State of Georgia than
is the book of Genesis. But they
failed to do this after wasting agreat
deal of time, and after taking such
action as t<> make the people believe
there would boa convention, though
at a very distant day. And so they
failed in almost everything of impor
tance. The adjournment of the body
was the best action of the session,and
it is our opinion that the next Legis
lature of Georgia will be composed
in great part of members who did
not participate in the do-nothing pol
icy of the last. >
That Flag,
Mrs. 11. S. Kimball Writes Another Letter
—A True Woman.
From the Philadelphia Tones, of
Saturday, we extract the following
letter by the lady who gave Mr. Hill
the Confederate flag, and which he
sent to the Young Men’s Library
Association of this city :
To the Editor of the Times:
hasTteen pleased to publish my let
ters to Hon B. H. Hill, of Georgia,
prefacing it thus: “There it a
woman living in Philadelphia who
sympathizes with Hill, of Georgia, in
liis tirade against the North for cruel
ty to Confederate prisoners.” My
motive was certainly misunderstood.
My husband and brother served the
country in her hour of need, and I
rendered all the service in my pow
er by attention to the sick and
wounded. Since the war it has been
my fortune to pass much time in the
South, and 1 reel sure, could the peo
ple of the North know the Southern
people better, the prejudice kept
alive by ambitious politicians would
be powerless longer to distract our
country. No brave man follows his
opponent after he has laid down his
arms and acknowledge? himself pow
er! ess,* n ore particularly after he has
fought manfully. When the skillful
surgeon has cut away a disaffected
part he uses all his power to heal that
wound for the preservation of the body.
Every good American should use all
means inr his or her power to heal
all wounds, thereby giving health
and strength to our body politic. I
did give the flag back to Georgia.
There was no other place for it, and
I would be very glad to s*-e all our
Southern prodigals back and fasten
ed in our “Fathers House.”
Mrs. 11. S. Kimball.
Bad for Belknap.—Yew York,
March IG.—A special to the H- raid
from Belknap, Dekotah Territory,
says that undeniable evidence will
be sent from that place to Washing
ton in a few days proving that with
in one week after Belknap's install
ation as Secretary of War lie began
a scheme for the sale of prominent
traderships on the frontier, and that
they were eventually disposed of
for money, the dispatch says Che evi

State,the latter now Govenor of a Ter

CAKTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 23,1876.
Radical New Hampshire.
Reports from the New Hampshire
election thus far say that no result
will be reached until midnight. Dis
patches from various points indicate
republican gains in every town heard
from. There are evidences of frauds
!on both sides. In Concord „the repub
licans gain over last year’s vote.
! Both parlies are sanguine.
Boston, March 14,—A Concord
special to the Boston Journal says
E. H. Rollins states that the latest
returns from various sections indi
cate very strongly that Cheney is
eh ' ted by the people, and that the
republicans have carried both sides
of the legislature. There are repub
lican gains in many of the towns so
far heard from, but the returns are
yet too meagre to estimate on.
Boston*, March 1-f. 8:30 p. m.—Re
turn; from 71 New Hampshire
towns give Cheney, republican, 12,-
17-3, and Marcy, democrat, 10,64tand
Kendall, prohibition 93,. This shows
a republican gain.
Boston, March 14.—An estimate
of the return of 103 towns outside of
the cities received here at 9 p. m.,
gives Cheney, republican, 16,012;
Marcv, democrat, 14,127; Kendall
and scattering t il. The repubbeans
are still showing a gain. The follow
ing is a comparative statement of 69
towns and ward.-;:
Cheney, 11,931; Marcv, 10,372;
Kendall and scattering 92. In U 72,
these towns and wards gave th< Re
publicans 11,452; democratcs, UU>9i ;
prohibition etc., 173. Republican
net gain this year, 671.
THE LATEST.
Boston, March 11.—A fwrord
special to the Rod, con
cedes the victory in New
A majority* in both
| branches of the legislature and the
election of Cheney by the people by
a very small majority; but as the
case last year, hitter returns may ma
i terialiy affect the result. One hun
dred anti sixty-six towns and wards
give Cheney 21,739 vote- ; ; Marcv,
23,223 votes; Kendall and scattering,
254 votes. The same towns last year
| gave the republicans 26,583 votes ;
I democrats, 25,963 votes; scattering,
477 votes; republican net gain, 2,118
| votes.
Concord, March 14.-The returns
| of the election being received hero are
very full, and show decided republi
can gains throughout the Si.de. In
dications point to the election of
Cheney by the people, and there
seems to be no doubt that the repub
licans have elected a majority of the
Senators.
The republicans claim that they
have a majority in the house of fif
teen or twenty, though the democrats
do not yet concede the house repub
lican.
The republicans are confident they
have made a clean sweep, and are
jubilant. wot

Death of Hon, I, L. Harris.
It becomes our melancholy duty
to announce the death of Hon. Iver
son Louis Harris of our city, which
occurred at his residence at 11 o’clock
P. ni., on last Sunday night, the 12th
inst. The event has long been ex
pected by Judge Harris and Ills
friends; he having received a stroke
of paralysis which had confined him
to his bed for the last two or three
years. The funeral services on yes
terday, at his residence, were con
ducted by the Rev. George T. Gretch
ius in a solemn and impressive man-'
nor, and his remains were followed
to their resting place in the city

Judge Harris was a native of Mid
dle Georgia, and had his home in our
city from his early boyhood to the
time of bis death in the 72nd year of
his age. His long life up to the pe
riod when stricken down by disease
had been one of uncommon vigor
and activity both mental and bodily.
He was engaged the greater portion
of his manhood’s career in the prac
tice of the law, in which be attained
the highest distinction for skill and
learning. He filled a seat in the
State Legislature at one period, and
afterwards presided with great abili
ty first as a Judge of the Superior
Court, and lastly as one of the Judg
es of the Supreme Court.
In the last position, soon after the
close of the war, it became his duty
to pass on grave and important ques
tions springing out of results of the
war; and in some of these decisions,
the opinions of Judge Harris •■ere
marked by a transcendent force and
ability that spread his fame as a ju
rist far beyond the limits of Georgia,
and were justly ranked as equal in
* l tH fi and i¥L r’jhti'krar MI 10 fl -
al reputation. He was a bold, origi
nal and exhaustive thinker; and in
an age when we have seen corrup
tion taint the occupants of high pla
ces a;ul venality is the rule, not (he
exception, Judge Harris remained
emphatically an honest man—honest
at all times* and in all places, in of
fice, in private life, everywhere.
Would that he, dying, could h*ve
left behind him more than he did.

But he has gone “full of years and
full of honors” to the blessed immor

Pendleton Explaining Himself.
Washington, March 14.— George
H. Pendleton was before the commit-1
tee investigating the war department ]
to-day. The following is his testi
mony :
He has been president of the Ken-i
tucky Central railroad since Decern- j
her, 1809. When he took possession !
he found a large claim against the j
government for transporting troops, j
etc. He went to see Governor Stev- j
enson about the claim, who told him |
that it had been hanging on for a
ong time, and that fifty per cent, j
would be given to any one who
would have it paid. He then went!
to see others who were interested in j
it. and made an arrangement by
uni -h he was to receive one-half of i
all ha collected. The allowance was
for 8148,000. The claim was report-1
ed favorably and pas-* dc Witness i
received the money from Boutwell. j
He never paid any money to Bulk - i
nnp or agreed to pay any money to [
Belknap or' ary of his family, nor |
were they implicated in the payment j
of the claim, which was paid in June,
1871, and no money was paid to any j
one to get it through.
The bill reducing the president’s j
salary to 82.4,000 after the 4th of
March next, passed ihe Senate to-day
by a vote of 2(5 to 20.
An innocent freshman at Oxford
after he had paid the various college
and university fees, was told that he
must subscribe to the Thirty-nine
Art ides. “With all my heart,” was
his willing reply ; “how much is it?”
Georgia and Tennessee,
The State of Georgia has a bonded
dc bt equal to about five per cent, of
the true value of her property under
the federal census of of her
bond iiear seven ?K*r cent int<Ti*t
and about one fifth of them have
their interest paid in gold. Her
bonds are rarely quoted la-low par,
and her interest is met as it fails due.
Tennessee has a bonded debt equal
to about fire pw cent, of her proper
ty under the federal census of IS70 —
her bonds a!! bear interest at six per
cent, payable in currency. Why
they aro so quoted it is needless to
and I :.—Via rks vilie Ch romtde.
The Axxdanehe will venture a few
explanations, based on .official data,
t.at may assist the Chronicle to solve
tiis conundrum. Prior to 1875 the
** called public debt was *16,780,500.
The democratic legislature of 1875
tir"ov out evejy dollar of illgality
ipeie debt, thus reducing the total
\uii.i debt to $8,575,000, on which in
te . is now paid. The amount
Brown out was 18,575.000. A por
tion of the recoenirod debt bears 7
jer cent, gold interest, and a portion
78 and 8 per cent, in currency. The
Georgia 7 quoted at 105$ to 106 j in
N *.v York on the Bth, bears 6 per
cviA interest in gold, quarte ly and
stftrP.-annuaHy,
To sum up: Tennessee’s debt is
ah 'it 325,090,000; Georgia’,;. $8,575,-
'M. The assessed value of property
and rate of taxation in both .States
are about the same. Besid.es,Georgia
otvns the Atlantic and Western raii

ties at the rate of 8360,000 per annum,
payable monthly. Perhaps the
C hroniele and other journals which
express surprise at the poor showing
uie.de by Turmesee, when contrasted
with Goorgia can now spo why
bonds linger in the 4s. If the Chron
icle is hnxious for Tennesfvo to rank
with Georgia, it should advocate the

Her first husband was John Bower,
who formerly lived - at Keokuk.
Bower was a merchant. His wife,
as were all the Tomlinson women,
was handsome dashing and gay.
She was also very ambitious. ’Tis
slid that often his ir-art was grieved
by her behavior. In time he fell
into a decline. They lived at Cin
cinnati then. His health not im
proving, he conclnth'd to try the cli
mate of Florida. His wife did not
accompany him. At this time a gen
tlemen known far and wide in politi
cal circles became the counsellor and
adviser of the handsome woman
whose husband had gone off' to die.
Business brought them together fre
quently, and their relations became
close and intimate. There was at
the time much shrugging of fair
shoulders among those who knew
in- pejtirs rest, arid grave old dow
agers sho>their heads —-
ly. To my the f b tm re was
a great <Dv>t of talk. Bower (lied,
and the task of befriending the wid
ow was well discharged by the gen
tleman alluded to. Mrs. Bower goon
found means of assuaging the grief
occasioned by her loss, and was ready
once more to enter into the gay
world which she loved so fondly.—

energetic in his advocacy of the third
term, since he failed to get the place
of pos!masterat Atlanta. Bam Bard’s
enthusiasm for the third term was
not lessened by the Belknap affair.
It had stood harder tests than that
and grew better through them all.
In fact tiie Belknap exposures made
it evident to Sam Bara’s inind that
Grant must have a (.bird term in or
der that he might stiil prosecute the
work of purifying the government,
and making it a liberal, hightoned
concern. But yet, after all, Sam
Bard did not get the Atlanta, post
mastership, and consequently has
lately felt so discouraged over the
prospects of the third term, that, in
stead of whooping and yelling for it
like a lusty savage, he can but squeak
for it like a doli baby.— N. Y. Sun.
Bad Atmosphere of tiie House.
—A Washington dispatch says:
•‘The atmosphere of the House is so
bad that fifteen or twenty members,
who ought to be acclimated by this
time, are on the sick list. Speaker
Kerr, who knows how vitiate# tlie
atmosphere is, refuses to remain in
the chair any longer than he can
help. It is reported that there is a
conspiracy to poison the Democratic
members! The Republicans do not
remain in their seats, except when
important business demands it.”
JStoere ttt is' no Tetter
than the atmosphere of the House,
and, un ess it is speedily purified, a
pestilence fatal to the nation will be
engendered.
By his own account Orville Grant
is not as thrifty as his brother Hi
ram. no seen rod several traderships
through Presidential influence, hut
lost money on them—lost money
when he had put no money in them.
Absurd as this seems it may be
true. Last Wednesday the unfortu
nate Orville was sued in Washington
for his part of the losses of a printing
firm in which he invested nothing
but his influence to obtain govern
ment contracts. He got the firm
the printing of the post office in
that city and other good jobs, but the
management was bad and the firm
went into bankruptcy, involving
Grant among other meml>er*.
Congressman Lamar, of Mississip

threatened with paralysis. He is gone
to New York to consult a physician
will afterward go to his home in
Mississippi,to remain for the present.
It is doubtful whether he will he
able to continue his labors as a mem
ber of the House. Kis abscence will
be a serious locs to the Democratic
side of the House. He has been un
well all the winter, and having once
had * shock of paralysis, his physical
condition is a critical one.
