BAIN BRIDGE, FRBRUABTf 10, 1876.
We afe to expect “chain-lightning”
from the Albany New* this week, if one
* is to judge by what the editor writes in
hfc last issue. He says that "the Co!, re
turns to his post splendidly armed for the
work before him” and promises that all
(fcrey W. “saw behind the scenes” in At
lanta—"the Legislature and its doings; the
Smith-Jones vendetta; the treasury elec
tion ; the ring business; the tax burden,”
Ac., shall come out. We have heard
some surprise expressed that Col. Styles
can always know more than any one else,
Iwt we never allow ourself to be guilty of
the discrimination of believing or disbe
lieving anything he says.
The Radicals held a mass meeting in
Atlanta on the 5th inst. The object of
the meeting was to protest against a Con
vention. Speeches were made by A. T.
Akcrinatvand J. Norcross. The Atlanta
mrM gives a synopstt of the former’s
speech, and we think Akorman said all
that could be said from bis standpoint,
politically', but our readers may judge for
themselves how much can be said for a
Constitution, dictated by a copper-head
Congress, and written with Yankee bayo
nets, when coining from a man of Aker
man’s stripe.
We sincerely regret, and, as a Georgian,
are ashamed of the manner in which certain
partisans are conducting the Gubernato
rial canvass, It is an outrage upon the
honest Democracy of Georgia, and we do
not hesitate to pronounce it a lasting dis
grace to the great party. We never saw
a canvass between the two political
parties of the country more bitter or de
termined, and we fear the results of this
cut-throat policy may be bad for the party
and the State.
A dispatch from Montgomery says that
Judge Rice, ex-Goveraor Smith, ex-Con-
gressman Buckley, Gen. Conand and
several other prominent Republicans of
Alabama, including some colored, left for
Washington. They go for the purpose of
representing their party before the Elec-
llon Committee of the Senate, and to urge
that Spencer be declared not entitled to
the seat he occupies.
A special dispatch from Washington
city dated the 29th of January, says that
in the "Woman’s Right Convention,” in
session at Talmadge Hall, in that city
on the day before, a letter was read from
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens warmly endors
ing the suffrage movement, and predict
ing its final success. The reading of the
letter elicited great applause from the
Convention.
. ; * i
There is one fact that should be serious
ly considered by everybody. Since the
Democratic majority went into Congress,
It has been their constant work to cut
„ down expenditures and retrench matters
; generally. • In this they have met with
most persistent opposition from the
, .Republicans. The people should make a
iJWte of this.
'She following Georgians have secured
i .places in the offices connected with House
of ; Bepsentatives: Morgan Rawls and
Frank Lamar in the Clerk’s Office ; J. P.
Hambleton, clerk of the Ways and Means
Committee ; A. W- Reese, Superintend-
«nto£ Document Room, and J. L. Knight
folder.
. Hart, Habersham and several other
conntieswvould like to have Joe Brown
for our next Governor.—Albany New*.
We have our doubts about those coun
ties being:i* favor of Joe Brown for Gov
ernor, but presume we could name an
editor who is, or, at least, could be easily
made so.
It is claimed that there are 3,000 white
men in Florida who have not voted since
the downfall of the confederacy—enough
to insure a Democratic triumph at every
election. That triumph will begin to be
raked in next fall.
THE STATE HOAD LEASE—WAS
IT PROCURED BY BRIBERY?
We notice by reference to the Leg
islative proceedings, says die Atlanta
Herald, that Senator Arnow moved a
suspension of the rales to take np the
Honse resolution in relation to the lease
of the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
and the propriety of selling such road.
The resolution was loot by a rote of 9
to 17. We confess our surprise that
this resolution of Mr. Turnbull's, which
passed the Honse without a dissenting
vote, should have met with such a fate
in the Senate, and we take the liberty
of informing the Senators who voted in
the negative that they will he wise to
reconsider their votes, and let the reso
lution go to a committee. There oer-
tainly can be no harm in having the
State Road lease investigated, and if
the charges which are current are un
founded, let the committee so report.
On the other hand, if they are true, the
1,,^ ’ jiiiri be annulled. »
We hav& heard it stated that Gr6v.
Brown expended seventy thousand dol.
lars on the Legislature of I8TI to pro
cure the endorsement of the lease. This
is not mere rumor, but rests upon the
statement of one who had every oppor
tunity to know the facts. The Com
monwealth eharged, in its issue of the
21st November last, upou the authority
of Col. I. W. Avery, that a certain dai
ly newspaper in this city received five
thousand dollars of this money. Col.
Avery has never denied making the
statement. Now, if these statements
are not sufficiently tangible and explic
it to justify the reference of this ques
tion to a committee, wo will make them
more so.
We know a large number of the gen
tlemen who voted to confirm the lease.
They are honorable and high-toned,
and we know as well as we can know
anything, that they would tcorn to be
influenced by money in giving their
votes. The Hon. Dunlap Seott, who is
now dead, was among them, and Geor
gia never had a pnrer or more devoted
son. The Hon. A. O. Bacon was also
among the number, and we defy any
man to point to an act in his career
which does not reflect honor upon his
intentions. Senator Yan Estes a
voted for it, and to those who know
this gentleman, it is unnecessary to vin
dicate him from this charge. We have
therefore decided to make this mattei
public, in order that it may be probed
to the bottom, and if the charges can
not be sustained let them be withdrawn,
B. F. Brimberry, of Camilla, is the
only Republican Senator in the Georgia
Legislature. He has a lonesome time of
it, and probably wishes somebody would
com over atod bring their knitting with
them.
Mach Important editorial matter crowded
out to-day. Our Senior has been on the

A GLIMPSE
OUR RUFUS.
OF THE LATE
BULLOCK.
GOVERNOR
While Dr. Bozeman and the Treasury
Committee were in New York they want;
ed some information in the possession, of
ex-Governor Bollock. Accordingly that
gentleman was sent for, and came without
reluctance, giving all the aid he could to
the investigation. He talked fieely about
matters in Georgia during his regime,
though we do not feel at liberty to publish
his conversation, in this regard as report
ed to us.
He was with the Committee, in New
York, a week or ten days, and exhibited
signs of straightened circumstances. It is
said that he had just applied for a Clerk
ship on the Erie Road, and was quite
anxious to get it. He still calls Georgia
his home, and hopes at some future day
to return to it. He says that Blodgett
was “the foxy little fellow” of his admin
istration. He is not living in New York
City, but in the central portion of the
State. He says he frequently meets Geor
gians and generally takes occasion to call
upon them when he hears they are in the
city. And now the query comes .• If
Bullock stole the money of the State, or
dishonestly administered his office, why
doesn’t Governor Smith have him arrested,
brought back and tried ? - There could he
no trouble in getting him. Not a single
dollar «f all the money lost, Under his
regime, has ever been recovered to the
State ; not a single guilty man lodged in
the penitentiary 1 Why doesn’t the Gov
ernor “try it on with” with Bullock 1
Hasn’t he the proof with which to convict
him ? There is a chance for a reputation
in a wrestle with Rufus.—Atlanta Herald.
Speaker Kerr is out ut a letter, in which
be say* he is not art aspirant for Presiden
tial honors, but declares in favor of Gov.
Hendricks.
’ They have recently had some tremen
dous floods in the Western States, in
which great damage waa done.
It you hhve land to sell, advertise It in
the-Democrat.
The Democrat wants to have a Fair in
Bainbridge next fall or winter. We hope
the people of Decatur county may be able
to get up a really good fair, as in oar
opinion there is nothing like it for attract
ing attention to any section of country,
and the greatest need of all Southern Geor
gia is to be known. We have a fine coun
try, one that ought to induce emigration,
one that needs only to be known to be
appreciated, but It is very little known
even to other sections of the State. The
Fairs held here have done a great deal of
good in the way of advertising this sec
tion. If Decatur and other counties
throughout Southern Georgia can do as
much more, we will soon see the good ef
fects throughout this entire lower belt of
counties.—ThomaenU* Snierprite.
AH HfMIGRATIOH CONVENTION
CALLED
The call for the Immigration Con
vention to be held in New Orleans,
Wednesday, March 1, 1876, embraces
Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken-
tacky, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, and Flori
da. The basis of representation is as
follows:
1. The Governor of each State nam
ed in the call.
2. Two delegates at large from each
State named in the call.
3. One delegate from each Congres
sional District in each State named in
the call.
4. One delegate for each fifty mem
bers of any board of trade, merchants’
exchange, cotton exchange or chamber
of commerce in each State named in
the call, and where no such organiza-
tion exists, the Mayor of each city to
appoint one delegate for each 5,000
population.
5. Exinent citizens upon special in
vitation.
The subjects to be considered by the
convention will be (1) the best means
of promoting immigration to the States
of the Mississippi valley; (2) the estab
lishment at the port of New Orleans of
an immigration bureau and depot in
the interests of the States included in
the call; (3) the superior economy of
the Mississippi river route for the im
migrant to the interior States ; (4) the
legislation needed by the different
States in aid of the enterprise,—New*.
The County Courts.—While sev
eral counties are, through their repre-
sentative , endeavoring to abolish the
County Courts in their counties, we are
able to say, and show, that if properly
managed, it is the best system ever yet
invented for the speedy administration
of justice.
The County court has been in exis
tence here for newly two years, and we
learn that daring that time the fines
and costs have paid all the expenses,
including the salary of the Judge. In
addition to this, the saving to the coun
ty in the matter of jail fees and board
has been very great. The saving th is
effected with the careful and economi
cal administration of the connty com
missioners, has placed our. county en«
iirely out of debt,and if nothing occurs
to call for an extraordinary expenditure
of money, we will get through this year
with as light a tax as any county in the
State. If your county courts are mot
good institutions, it is the fault either
of the Judges or of the lawyers, and
not of the law.—Thomasville Enterp’se
Relative Strength of Parties.
—At the beginning of the politi cal
year, 1876, we find the Republican
party in possession of the Presidential
office, the ex 'cutive branch of the Fed
eral. Government, and having a large
majority in the Supreme Court, all the
Justices but one having been appointed
by Republican Presidents. The Uni
ted States Senate is Republican, hav
ing forty-two Republicans, twenty-nine
Democrats and two Independents, and
there is one vacancy. The Honse of
Representative, on the other hand,
comprises one hundred and seventy-
eight Democrats, and only one hundred
and fourteen Republicans and Indepen
dents. The Democrats have eighteen
Governors of States, and the Republi
cans nineteen, including Kellogg of
Louisiana. Of the State Legislatures,
the Democrats have a majority on joint
ballot in twenty States, the Republi
cans sixteen, and in one (Illinois) the
Independents hold the ballance of pow-
Fair Committee-
We are requested to ask the following
Committee of gentlemen to meet at the
Court House, in Bainbridge, on Saturday,
the 12th of February, at 12 o’clock. The
object of this call is to take into consider
ation the formation of an Agricultural
Society for the county of Decatur, with
the view to having a county fair some
time next winter, and calling a subsequent
mass meeting of the people of the
county. Every one named is urgently re
quested to be present, at the time and
place above mentioned; and in addition
to those named it is earnestly desired that
every Grange in the county will furnish
a delegate, either the Master or a member.
The following are those composing the
Committee:
A newspaper is a window through
which men look out on all that i
on in the world ; without a newspaper
man is shat in a smell room, and knows
little or nothing of what is happening
outside of himself. In oar day, the
newspapers keep pace with history and
record it. A newspaper will keep a sensi
ble man in sympathy with the world’s
current history. It b an unfolding ency-
dopeedia, an unbound book forever issuing
and never finished.
