Atlanta, Feb. 20th, 187o.
North-East Georgian :—To per
form the duties of a legislator, partic
ularly at this juncture, when so much
of legislative mutter has been deferred,
and now crowded .upon the closing
Week of the sessiou, leaves but little
time for your correspondent to devote
to the readers of the Georgian. To be
forced to write about one thing, while
our mind ia engaged in thought ahout
another, will of course excuse the want
of special interest in this communi
cation. A large number of local bills
bare been passed by the General As-
op-trj tlila tlmr, and a large
number ia still pending before the
body. The law-making Mill, super-
intended in one department by Col.
T. 8. Simmons, and overlooked in the
other by Col. T. Hardeman, is now
grinding in a hurry, making three
runs a day, morning, noon and night.
Our impression is, that the legislative
hoppers are still so full, that this fact,
together with the recently discovered
irregularities in the treasury depart
ment, will necessitate the body hold
ing over until about the last of next
week. For one, we nro exceedingly
anxious for the mill to stop, as we are
in considerable doubt as to whether the
turn the people of Georgia are to re
ceive will compensate for the toll paid,
but moreabout this at another time.
The general measures which have
been considered by the legislature
since our last, are as follows: The
Usury law. The bill which passed
the Senate fixes the legal rate of in
terest at 7 per cent, making 10 per
cent, (by special contract) the limit.
The House bill makes the same legal
rate and fixes the limit at 12 per cent.
It is thought a conference will be held
by the two brandies, and one or the
other adopted.
The bill to re-enact the lien law wa*
defeated. An effort is being made in
the Senate to pass a bill permitting a
lien on crops for the purchase of flour
and bacon, but it is apprehended that
it will meet the fate of the House bill.
A bill reducing the Homestead to
realty of the value of 8700, in specie,
and personalty of the value of $100 in
specie, has irossed the House, and will
probably pass the Senate. This being
a constitutional amendment, will re
quire a two-thirds vote of the next
General Assembly to make it a iaw ; so
of course it cannot lie of avail, even if
the next legislature should give the
measure the requsife majority, until
I*/ 6 / Tour correspondent is of the
opinion, that this was a rather unwise
step; not that he is unfavorable to the
reduction of the unjustifiable large
‘‘homestead” now granted bv the
Constitution, but considers this an
impracticable, if not impossible way to
reduce it; and furthermore, greatly en
dangers our party by that division in
its ranks which mny be produced by
making this quest iou an issue incur
next, election, which in our humble
a inion, will be the most important
iction ever held in America, in as
much ns it will unquestionably be one
involving not only the interest and
safety of our Southern section, buteven
American liberty, as guaranteed by
our republican form of govern
ment.
, The Bills calling fur a Constitu
tional Convention have not yet been
reached in the House, but the general
impression seems to bo, that the sulv
will not receive much discussion,
it being considered rather a dangerous
move at this time, for reasons above
cited.
The bill providing for tbc new
county of “ Oconee” has passed both
the House and Senate by the requisite
t*r constitutional majority. The bill
appropriating 85,000 per annum for
threo years to the State Agricultural
College, and 83,000 lor one year to
tbc Dahlonoga College, passed the
House by a vote of 86 yeas, to 33
naya—and the same will doubtless
pass the Senate. The bill providing
for a military organization in the
Agricultural College, has also passed
the House, and will hardly meet any
opposition in'the Senate.* Well, we
thiuk the Colleges at At hens are doing
pretty well, considering all things.
The great fault hcratofure, on the
part of the legislature, has been a fail
nre to real’ze tiro fact that the Uni
versity was a Stnte institution, the
real offspring of the State; and that
the General Assembly as its true
guardian was responsible for its pres
ent condition, as well as its future
prosperity. Now that (hi* difficulty
has linen removed and legislators have
Iroen induced to recognize this College
as one of Grot-gin's Irost interests, we
tnay safely hope a liciter and brighter
future foi tiro heretofore much neg
lected State University. The interest
in the State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts is manifestly in
creased, an«l this too, is destined to re
ceive, in future, the fosteriug care of
the Georgia legislature.

Ynncey, has Iroen recently promoted
t<> membership with the “ Roman Fa
thers.” It is a girl. Of course, it is
a fine one. We extend our congratu
lations and tip our hat tS the very

Washington, Feb. 18.—The follow
ing address has just been prepared by
the Democratic members of the Sooth
and Southwest:
Tr ike People of the Southern States
You have confided to the undersign
ed in this conjuncture of affairs, the
delicate and difficult task of guarding
in the Federal Congress your public in
terests, your rights and reputation.
You will, therefore, pardon the liberty
we take of addressing you at a period
so critical, upon a matter affecting your
destiny, and that of your posteri
ty. Yon cannot have failed to observe
tiie persistent' efforts of some of the
leaders of thq Republican party to re
vive the animosities of the late war,
which happily are fast giving place to
a spirit of concord and unity in every
section of ourcomnion country. It is
impossible to predict certainly the ef
fect of these appeals to p issic n. We
believe that, through the honest repre
sentation of a few upright and con
scientious Federal officers and agents,
an independent and able public press,
and pf many citizens, without regard to
party, the true condition of the South
ern States, and the real sentiment of
the Southern people are being gradu
ally made kr.owu to our fellow-citizens
ot the North. We hope for their fa
vorable decision when fully apprised of
all the facts. Tiro great ends of good
government wifi be reached when the
people .of afi actions forget that we
have ever been enemies—and come to
gether a^ain as in the early days of
the republic, cnulating each other only
in devotion to tie best interests of the
whole country. With this exalted
purpose in view there is nothing in
consistent with ihe honor and manhood
of a brave peope to resolve to suffer
with heroic patynce whatever be their
provocat’o is ind wrongs—looking
through the feaiful present to a hope
ful future and impelling unjust epithets
and gratuitous insults with dignified
moderation. Lit every white man in
every neighorluad in the whole South
regard himself is a commissioner of
peace, rnaintainhg the kindliest rela
tions toward the black man, and re
memheriug that the responsibility for
ihe extreme poverty to which we havi
been reduce.], atd the corrupt govern
ments to which his vote has subjected
us, rests not so much upon him as up
on the bad men who, with the nssur
once of Federal support, have by np
peals to his worst pns-ion, sought t<
make him our e.ieiny, while we labor
by all honest means to convince him^
of the truth that our interest and his
arc identical, and that both must lie
preserved by good government, and
that those who stir up strife between us
arc the enemies of both races. Let u
nt the same time, see that he is fully
protected in his guaranteed rights to
vote as he pleases in all elections. Let
us continue to deal with him honestly
and fairly, and let us continue cordial
ly to invite to our midst those of any
political party who either seek to know
the truth or to find homes Upon our
soil.
We do not exaggerate when we ad
monish you of the disheartening fact
that every street disturbance, every
homicide of whatever character, by
whomsoever committed, by black or
white, Republican or Democrat, such
as are incident to every community
upon earth, is perverted into evidence
of a spirit of lawlessness and violence,
and a purpose to accomplish political
ends. We well know the gro-s injus
tice of such charges, which have weight
only where ignorance of our true con
dition prevails.
Strenuous efforts are now being made
by those who misrepresent you to
indue? the passage by Congress of the
most dangerous measures, in order to
irritate our people, drive them to des
pair, and to provoke them to violent
outbreaks in order to furnish an excuse
lor applying for military interference.
We express the hope that a majority
of the present Congress will not be
found ready to sanct'on such legislation.
If it be accomplished, it would he
against the protest not only of Demo
crats, but of the moral worth and
statesmanship here of the party in
power, and of such Republicans ns
Bryant, Evicts, Charles Francis Ad
ams and others, whose patriotism and
sense of justice nre known to the en
tire country. We may, however, l»e
mistaken. The most extreme, op
pressive and unconstitutional meas
ures may be imposed upon you. In
such an event wo would appeal to tl e
wisdom and patriotism of a long-
suffering people, by every hope of the
future, for continued forbearance and
hopeful reliance upon the virtue nr.d
sense of justice of the American peo
ple, for the ultimate vindication of our
rights, the protection of our liberties,
and the safety of our Republican form
of Government.
From the Columbus Enquirer. I [Written for t lie North-East Georgian.]
We are permitted to publish the Billy Muclale’a Visit to tliC
following able and beautiful letter from
Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, of Alliens, Geor
gia, to one of our Savings bank’s man
agers. Tbe qualities of head and heart,
which have so long endeared Dr.
Lipsoomb to Georgians, never grasped
a subject so vital as the one now under
consideration. Dealing with it, as he
always does, in a plain reasoning wav,
nothing has Iroen left unsaid. We!
commend this letter to our readers,
every won! in it is good, every idea la
worthy the man who wrote it:
Athens, Feb. 6, 1875.
Dear Sir:—As I wrote you on yes
terday, I am deeply interested in pro
moting this work among our people.
Of course it is very important to in
crease theproducingpower of the State,
but the main difficulty does not lie in
the want of productiveness. It lies in
our ruinous habits, in our waste and
extravagance, and most of all in those
kinds of waste and extravagance which
escape notice and therefore go on year
by year uncorrected.
Legislation cannot cure tbe evils un
der which we are laboring. Our peo
ple are simply deluded when they look
to usury laws and other fictitious things
for a removal or even a serious abate
ment of the ills, that are now oppress
ing their private fortunes. The reme
dy is in common-sense, in homely old-
fashioned prudence, in earnest self-
denial, anti in faithful obedience to
those laws of Providence, by which the
conduct of our affairs must be regu
lated.
A man’s labor can never educate and
ennoble him unless it do something
more thf n provide for to-day. Fore
thought is Providence. It is this fore
thought that is the chief distinction of
a wise head. I have personally seen
very large results from Savings Banks.
To the individual, they are invaluable;
nnd to the community they are even
more valuable. If we can save what
we are annually wasting we shall soon
have a vast capital in Georgia,- and
theu money will be cheap enough for all
useful purposes. It is our ways of
thoughtless living, onr petty reckless-
ness, our organic follies, {hat make
money so dear. Better look to the
kitchen and the dinins-room, and the
dress hills nnd the like, and not to
general assemblies for the return of
better days. Aside from mere ques
tions of economy, this is absolutely a
matter of morality and religion under
circumstances now existing. Wisely
enough, we find fault with an inflated
national currency. The most grevious
thing, however, is our private inflation
—the inflation of nonsense and folly
in our modes of thinking and acting.
I write very hurriedly, yet I trust
that these words will not be unaccept
able.
You will all, I am sure, be
prudent in managing the savings de
partment. This is supremely vital.
Not only make yotir appeal to public
confidence but commend its trust and
reliance.
Yours, very truly,
Andrew A. Liprcomb.

Doctor, ns I war gwine down tho
steps from that barber shop, tliiuks I,
if I buy me a suit uv store clothes
from Rich & Moton, sum uv the purty
Athens gals will fall in luv with me
fur my good looks.
Well, when I got down the steps, I
walked up to the next dorc whar 1
thort Icood find the . clothes, and I
went in, and I tell you it made me
open my eyes when I looked ’round,
(ur 1 didn’t see no clothes on the
counters or shelves, but they wer all
filled with books, paper, picters, and
sich like. Thar wer a heap uv fellers
in the store a lookin’ arnnna, and byin’
hooks, paper and other things. One
light-hared, white-eyed, youngish look
in’ feller wer a walkin’ around sorter
perruiscuously, lookin’ arouqd, and I
reckin he wer a clerk, fur I seen him
go behind the counters, but I didn't
see him sellin’anything.
Thar war another clerk, a feller
about 5 feet 8 inches hroh, with thick
bushy black bar. parted on.,the right
side uv his head, and combed down
sorter behind his ears, a long pencil
a stickin’ through his har and a restin’
on his right ear. He had monstrous
heavy eye brows, a powerfurhice mus-
tash anu goate, ana I tell you he wer
awful bizzy a sellin’ bonks; papers and
sich like, and a getten the riiunny fnr
’em. As soon as one mart » wood go
out, another wood cum in, and I seen
most uv them were monstrus stiff and
starchy young fellers, and Had their
long pens a stickin’ behind their ears,
and they wood ask fur a dozin spellin’
books, a ream uv paper, or sum sich
things and as they wood pick them up,

It is now generally conceded that

proportions, and unless put to work

..“Specks” tells the following ii\^s
late Washington letter to the Atianta
Herald:
An amusing incident occurred the
other day on the floor of the House
when the final vote was taken on the
civil rights bill. The Republicans had
worked in the leadiug plank of the
Grcelv platform as a preamble to
their bill. This preamble declared “afi
men are free and equal,” etc. Now,
as most of the Democrats had voted
for Grecly, thej* were compelled, of
course, to swallow the preamble. A
Mqierate vote was taken on it, and
when the name ol General Phil Cook
was called he voted “aye” in stentorian
tones, but immediately turned and ex
claimed, sotto voice: “That’s the
d—dest lie I ever voted for in my life!”
It so happened that. Vice President
WiKon was occupying a seat on the
floor, just in rear of Cook. When
Cook turned around and made this re
mark, Ruber a of New York, intro
duced them; whereupon Wilson re
marked that “once it was a lie, hut
not now.” Cook immediately rejoined
“Just the snme'lie, Mr. Vice President^
that Thomas Jefferson voted for when
he owned three hundred slaves; that
Massachusetts voted for when Boston
•hips were engaged in the slave trade.”
The rejoinder created considerable mer
riment. Wilson kindly and smilingly
acknowledged the shot, and said : Gen
eral, you fight well wherever you nre
found.” How true and deserving the
last remark. Phil Cook is one of the
“bricks of Congress,” and has perhaps
aa many warm personal friends hero as
any man in Congress.

Tax on Theatres—Best Speech
of the Sfeason.
The sapient wiseacres of the
Georgia Legislature have refused
to lighten the burthens of the peo
ple by reducing their own salaries,
hut they propose to make up the
difference by putting an exorbitant
tax upon theatres and other public
places of amusement.
The country members who com
prise a large majority, and have
no theatres in their home commu
nities, by this means propose to
deny to the town people their re
creation and pleasure which their
places of nmusement afford; for
the legislation proposed, will ex
clude aetors nnd showmen from all
except the largest cities. Now, we
submit to those Legislators of the
Archibald Evergreen order, that
this discrimination against their
town friends is very unfair as well
as unprofitable. They will not in
crease revenues, but will decrease
our town enjoyments. The conn
trymau has his peculiar pleasures
and recreations. lie can go coon
hunting, ’possum hunting and
fishing. He can rise at early
dawn and blow his bugle horn,
and all the hounds in the neigh
borhood will rally to his call, and
he can pursue the weary fox to
his lair and worry him out of the
hollow log, and have all sorts of
fun ; yea, and cannot the country
man raise his own barley and coin
vey it to the hidden still house in
the mountain glen where the in
nocent spring branch is inveigled
into the stands,' and where the
sweet mash is made and the still-
beer boiled, and the nectar of the
woodsman is distilled and drunk
—all free ot revenue stamps and
other encumbrances—and there
the honest yeoman can get drunk
as a lord without leave, license or
tax, or being locked up in the cal
ahoosc. Then there arc the com-
shuckings and quiltings, including
kissing the gals.and trcc-fighting.
These and many more are the
amusements of the countryman,
which are denied the denizens of
the city. For shame ! Yc Ever
green law makers, get down up
on your knees and ask forgiveness
for your pitiful mcunucss and il-
libcrality. Do we ask for a law
to abolish the corn-shuckings and
the corn dances? Or have we any
objection to the gal getting kissed
who shucks a red ear? No sir,
not even if she be a red-headed
gal, which she ought not, aud she
knows she oughn’t. Do wo ask
you to abolish tho coon hunt, or
even abbreviate the coon-dog’s
tail ? Eo-sir-ee. Do we even tisk
you to put an extra tax upou the
fox liouud or tho piutcr pup?
Nary timo. Then abolish not our
theatres aud concert halls, our
Punch nnd Judys and our pan
oramas, but let us have what little
enjoyment we can, while wc sell
you our goods and newspapers on
a credit aud never get our pay.

should have made, had we been
there.—Griffin News,
