Tu the Honorable the Member* of the
Senate and Jlouse of Representatives
qfthe dcnn-al Assembly of the Stale
of Georgia:
Tho Petition of sundry Citizens of
outhern Georgia respectfully sliow
!h unto your honorable bodies :
That us residents mid tax-paying
itiz. ns of the broad Commonwealth
|u v are entitled to the care, protec

N/H>ciully inviting vour grave eon
i>l,ration, judicious support, and
mely relief, tile City of Brunswick
nd her devoted .and deeply injured
■Dole : That this lU’.ur.utpality is
uinosed almost exclusively of na
ve born (ieorgians and otlurs of
i-.miheru birth, who, overwhelmed
iv the misfortunes growing out of
im lute war, lmvo removed-hither
rhi their families and the myrow
I'linifUit of their fornnr fortunes,
wifidently believing in the future
iroaporitv of Brunswick and trust

he Acts of the State aiding the
Irußßwiok and Albany Railroad —
nd that so believing and trusting
lay have expended their all in City
’rcivrty and improvements thereon;
fiat they were chiefly moved so to
oby tho endorsement and guaran
is o! their honored and trusted
'ommomvealth ; and now it so hap
■’os that owing to certain acts and
oings, irregularities, informailities
r otherwise, over which they had
>0 control and in which, whatever
bmo may bo attached thereto, they
Maim all complicity —they find
homselves stripped of the guaran-
Dps on which they relied ; That they
ro wholly without other resource
•an the proper development of their
ort arising from the advent of cap
il abroad. That in pursuit of this
Amendable end they ask not a
olhir from the public Treasury ; but
oly that their State would cover
lem in their extremity with the as
kance of her good name ; and that
1 ls no more just to refuse them tho
•c-nefit of capital from'abroad, now
adored for the accomplishment of
purpose, by withholding the en
brsemeut of the State to tlm secu
itics at issue, than it would be if the
*'°plo themselves proposed to use so
cueh capital from their own sub
tree.
Your Petitioners would further
h°w that in administering to the
‘'inure and relief of the City of
far from thus being a
I'irrowly local and comparatively un
ffiP°rtant demand on the public con
ideration and support, it is one
fph and entii'ely common to the
greets of the whole -of South-
Georgia and of the State ;
' C oich the people of this sec-
U °* the State cannot willingly
and accustom
ed citizens, who have borne in times
past their quota to expensive appro- -
priations made in other sections of
: the State, and of which your Peti
tioners would* in no way complain.
Your Petitioners would further
•show that large investments have
been made along the line of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, and
that the development of the vast
lumber interests of Georgia, reach
ing it is confidently believed over
$500,000,000, unquestionably awaits,
as its appropriate Port, the proper
commercial development of Bruns
wick with her unsurpassed natural
facilities for international trade ; and
that these high interests so linked
are compromitted to a great degree
if not fatally by the abandonment of
of this great Railroad enterprise.
It is further shown to your honor
able bodies, that since the failure of
the contractors to complete the road
and pay the creditors, these parties
have been grievously injured and
damaged thereby and that they have
looked upon the apparent sacrifice
of their interests in the pending liti
gation without hope of remedy or
redress. .
Your Petitioners, may it so please
your honorable bodies, as citizens of
an old and honoi - able commonwealth,
whose escutcheon proclaims that the
severity even of justice should be
tempered by wisdom and moderation,
have watched with becoming con
cern the recent Legislation effecting
these securities upon which 171 miles
of this road have been actually built;
and they gravely question the policy,
however well intended, by <vhich this
great enterprise has been stricken
down.
It is well known to your honora
ble bodies that this road had sixty
miles or more in running order, be
fore the war. to which the ('nv.rotx
lion of Til guaranteed the protection
of the State—that the rails of this
road, under that guarertce, torn up
ali i used by and in the P.tate— that
the Legislature yf til) in view of these
facts, by. its committee in due form
of law, on examination, rightly or
wrongly it is not no*v pertinent to
inquire, recognized the claims and
agreed in solemn form of law by con
tract. to endorse $15,000 per mile in
extinguishment of said claim. And
that in virtue of said endorsement
171 miles of road have been built,
and the bonds to secure the moneys
used therein were endorsed at first
by tho Treasurer of the State under
the advisement of able, distinguish
ed, and irreproachable counsel, learn
ed in the law ; and subsequently by
the Governor of the State, the Chief
of an independent department of
Government, so recognized in the
formative law of the State itself.
It is now shown that the people
of this section of the State, to the
extent of road constructed, are in the
actual fruition of the improvements
arising out of these very bonds so is
sued, and purchased in open market.
It is respectfully submitted to your
honorable bodies that this broad fact
overlies the case however wise or
unwise the endorsement may be con
sidered, or regular or irregular the
execution thereof may be held.
It is shown that a great public
easement has arisen out of the pro
ceeds of these bonds an a high pub
lic franchise established which may
not be obstructed or removed with
out legislative consent ; showing at
once tho solemn interests actually in
existence and the consequent pro
tection and recognition due to the
parties in all fairness and fact who
were without doubt unwillingly and
unwittingly compromised therein.
And now it is further shown to
your honorable bodies that the Su
perintendent of Public Works repor
ted an enhan ed valuation of taxa
ble property, already arising from
the construction of this road, nearly
equal to the amount of endorsement.
It is confidently shown that the State
would lose nothing by its endorse
ment, if the road was finished to Eu
faula ; the same being worth more
than $15,000 per mile, and that in
its completion nearly two million oi
dollars more would be expended iir
the permanent improvements of the
State and that amount he put in im
mediate circulation.
Your Petitioners would show unto
your honorable bodies—that the rec
ognition of these guarantees now
comes up under considerations not
hitherto had in view —that your Pe
titioners have definitely and author
itatively understood from the bond
holders of the finished and unfinish
ed portions of the road that they,
united together, will finish and # equip
the road, in a first-class condition to
Eufaula and settle the legitimate
debts of the road, if the State will
recognize tho guarantees on the fin
ished part of the road, upon lawful
inspection thereof, and also recog
nize the guarantees on the unfinish
ed part of the road when completed
and under like inspection.
It tfius appears to your Petition
ers that a felicitous proposition has
been tendered by the foreign and
domestic bonbolders which opens
the way for a happy relief from per
plexing financial complication, and
that your honorable bodies at this
juncture and mder these proposals
might without attaching odium to
previous annulment of these securi
ties find yourselves warranted in now
re-establishing and recognizing them.
Your Petitioners would respect
fully show that such recognition
would be of the utmost benefit to
the credit of the State in Foreign
Lauds where these bonds are held
arTd restore confidence in our secu
rities abroad, both State and Munic
ipal.*
Your Petitioners would therefore
pray, that the General Assembly do
pass an Act in the premises provid
ing for such recognition, and with
such limitations as will secure the
completion of the road by such par
ties before such Act takes effect.
And your Petitioners will ever

Hon A. II Stephens as U S. Sen
ator
Editor Morning News :
Since Mr. Stephens’ name lias become
so prominently before the public f<jr the
position of United States Senator, and a
very large proportion of the people, not
to say an overwhelming majority of them,
seem so much inclined to his election, hi3
claims upon the popular confidence have
been dis.ruased from almost every stand
point, but the proposition of his election
meets with such warm and cordial res
ponse from the masses, and there is so
much earnestness manifested in that dr
reetion, that the most important question
now discussed as to his fitness for the |
honorable position is as to whether he is
physically capable of- performing the du
ties'of Senator. His ability, hiß states
manship, 6o conservative and in such per
fect harmony with the genius and spirit
of free government and civil liberty, as
designed by the founders of the Republic,
are admitted and admired by all.
His great desire for the unity and har
mony of'the democratic party was so well
expressed in his speech at the rftate Capi
tol last week, that it will carry conviction
to the minds of even those who may re
gard Mr. Stephens as a disorganizer, and
will have the effect of dispelling- every
thought of the kind from the minds of all
conscientious and truth-loving men. Tlie
Democracy of Mr. Stephens cannot and
will not fce doubted by any candid man.
He has never uttered a sentence that was
not Democratic, He stands to-day the
very impersonation of the purest Democ
racy. His record speaks for itself; his
great wisdom in the late canvass has prov
en to the masses that he is a faithful coun
selor and a safe leader, and we hear the
expression oh every hand that he is the
proper person to be made Senator, provi
ded his physical condition is such as to
allow him to -perform the duties of the
office.,
I have been with Mr. Stephens a great
deal for the past few days, and I have
never seen him in better healh. He felt
but little fatigue in going from his hotel
to the State Capitol last Friday night and
making a speech of two hours length, al
though the weather was very inclement
and forbidding Indeed, the general health
of Mr Stephens was never better, al
though the condition of one of his limbs
forces him to use crutches. 1 make this
statement, to say that 1 know from per
sonal knowledge that Mr. Stephens is just
as capable, physically, to perform the du
ties of # Congressmen she ever was; and,
if elected, his seat will be occupied with
as great punctuality as that of any -other
member on the Senate floor, unforeseen
casualties nbt interfering.
What 1 have written 1 have written in
the interest of truth, and that Mr. Ste
phens’ claims may be justly and duly con
sidered. To say that he cannot serve is
extremely erroneous. In fact, it will not
be longer said, except by those who desire
to defeat him. . Therefore, let his friends
be active in disabusing the public mind on
this score. Mr. Stephens can serve the
people in the Senate, and will do so. if the
people desire it. And he is the last man
m Georgia to assume responsibilities he
cannot meet. I rocp.
won’t do. You're too pretty ever to be a
good plain cook.”
FOR THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL.

TWO LITTLE BOYS.
Mark Twain’s Story of the Poor
Little Stephen Girard.
The man lives in Philadelphia who,
when young and poor, entered a
bank, and says he, - “Please, sir, don’t
you want a little boy ?” And the
stately personage said, “No, little
boy, I don’t want a little boy.” The
little boy, whose t»gst was too full
for utterance, chewing* a piece of lic
orice stick he had bought with a cent
stolen from bis good find pious aunt,
with sobs plainly audible, and with
great globules of water running
down his cheeks, glided silently
down the marble stepit of the bank.
, Bending his noble form, the bank
man dodged behind a door, for he
thought the little boy was going to
shy a stone at him. But the boy
picked up something stuck it in
his poor but ragged jacket. “ Come
here, little boy,” and she little boy
did come here ; and the bank man
said, “ Lo, what picket thou up ?”*
And he answered and said, “a pin.”
And the bank said, “Little boy, are
you good ?*’ and he he was.—
And the bank man snfd, “ How do
you vote ?” excuse me, do you go to
Sunday sfcliool ? and he said Ire did.
Then the bank man look down a
pen made of pure gold and flowing
with pure ink, and wrpte on a piece
of paper, “St. Peter,” "and asked the
little boy what it stood for, and he
said, “ Sault Peter.” Then the bank
man said it meant “ Saint Peter.”
The little boy said “Oh.”
The bank man took the little boy
to his bosom, and the 'little boy said
“Oh I” again, for he Squeezed him.
Then the bank man took the little
boy into a partnership, and gave him
half the profits and all tho capital,
and he married the bank man’s
'fl&mfbter, find all he %aS is all his,
and all. lie owns too.
STORY OF ANOTHER LITTLE BOY.
My unde told me this- story, and
I spent six weeks picking up pins in
front of a bank. I expected the bank
man would call me in and say, “Lit
tle boy, are you good ?” and I waai
going to say “ Yes and when he
asked me what “St. John ” stood for,
I was going to say “Salt John.”
But I guess the bank man wasn’t
anxious to have a partner, and I
guess the daughter was a son, for
one day says he to me, “ Little boy,
what’s that you are picking up
Says I, awful* meekly, “Pins.” Says
he, “ Let’s see ’em.” And he took
’em, and I took off my cap, all ready
to go in the bank and marry his
daughter. But I didn’t get an invi
tation. He said, “ Those pins be
long to the bank, and if I catch you
hanging around here any More I’ll
Set the dogs on you!” Then I left,
and the mean old cuss kept the pins.
Such is life'as I find it. „
A Balloon YoTage Across the At
lantic. —The PhiladelphiaStarsays :
Prof. John Wise, the well-known
aeronaut, has it in, contemplation to
make a balloon trip across the At
lantic next summer, preparations for
the great aerial voyage being in pro
cess of arrangement now. The pro
fessor, it will be remembered, made
the famous air trip from St. Louis
to the eastern extremity of Lake On
tario, a distance of over twelve hun
dred miles, in the short space of
nineteen hours, or at the rate of
about sixty-three miles an hour. He
feels entirely confident of his ability
to make the quickest trip on record
across the Atlantic. Quite a num
ber of scientific gentlemen have made
application to accompany him in this
greatest of all ballooning expeditions.
As showing how far America is ahead
in aeronautics, so far as distance trav
elled is concerned, the longest trip
ever made by a European balloonist
was only 400 miles, that of Prof,
vv Jse’s was three times that distance,
and, what is more, the greater por
tion of it was accomplished in the
of a‘cyclone, and with three passen
gers ‘besides him sell
“Do vou like to go to church said a
lady to Mrs Partington.
‘ Law me I do.” replied Mrs. P. Nothing
does me more good tbau to get up early on
Sunday morning, and go to church and
hear a populous minister diqpeaoewith the
Gospel.”
| A Romance. —During the past week
! a bit of romance has occurred in the
Children’s Aid Society, which hard
j ly seems to belong to this matter-of
. &ct age. The number of years since
j the reports of the Society gave an ac
! count of a sad event in Brooklyn.—
A woman had been murdered by her
: drunken husband, and a kind lady
of that city had discovered three
wretched little children weeping over
the corpse—two boys and a girl.—
They were - utterly friendless after
| the arrest and imprisonment of the
father. Ihe two boys were brought
to the Newsboy’s Lodging House in
New York, and the girl temporarily
feheltered. At length the Society
sent tlie boys to homes in the West,
and the girl was adopted by a gen
tleman of property, near the city.—
The latter never knew that her adop
ted father-was not her own. The boys
have now grown up and acquired
property -one being a druggist and
tlie other a farmer. They have been
extremely anxious to communicate
with their sister, and have been in
correspondence with her guardian
for some time. During the past
week they revisited the city for the
first time—very well educated young
men, in good circumstances. They
visited tlie Girl’s Lodging House,
the Newsboys’, and, other institutions
of the Society. The adopted father
of their sister consented that they
should see her in his office, provided
they did not disclose their relation
ship, as she was only fiiteen, and he
wished her to suppose herself his
daughter, so that her affections might
not be weakened for a few yearß
longer. She is to_ inherit his prop
erty. They felt the propriety of this,
and had their interview with her last
week, without disclosing their rela
tionship, and then returned, well sat
isfied, to the West.— N. Y. Times.
Progress in California.— -The new
California code makes wild work ol
home and family. The great modern
idea of everybody being everybody
elseis equal in all things is carriedsout
remorsely, and a magnificent unifor
mity of confession is the natural re
sult. All that is necessary to con
stitute a marriage is for a man and
woman—or for that matter a boy and
a girl, the law doing away with the
effete and monarchical distinction be
tween children and grown folks—
to consider themselves married and
behave accordingly. Being thus yok
ed, husband and wife and are as ful
ly at liberty to sue and contract with
each other as befoie entering into the
matrimonial state. The woman may
sue her husband for the use of her
crockery at breakfast, and the man
may sue his wife for lfer night’s lodg
ing in his house. Equality in all
things is the rule ; there is to be no
more of invidious distinctions of sex.
•Should controversies over rent and
table-ware grow insufferable the two
may draw up a treaty of demarca
tion and pay into a common fund
certain contributions from their re
spective exchequers for the support
of the children, which children are
to be in the custody of .neither pa
rent, the law saying : When husband
and wife are living separate and
apart the father, as such, has no
superior right to that of the mother
to the care, custody; or control of
the’ children.” The child thus im
partially neglected must apparently
go to the dogs ; but the law kindly
steps in to say that a minor who
marries becomes an adult forthwith.
All the deserted little Tom has to do
is to consider and treat some equally
forlorn little Bessie as hia wife, and
both youngsters are at once no lon
ger children but grown folks.- Says
section 28 of tho code : “The mar
riage of minors changes their status
from minors to adults. — World.
The Roll Call in Heaven.— An
incident is related by a Chaplain who
was in the army during a hard fought
battle. The hospital tent had been
filled up fast. The wounded men
had been brought to the rear.—
Among their number was a young
man who had been mortally wound
ed, and not able to speak. It was
near midnight, and many a loved
ones from their homes lay sleeping
upon the battle-field that knows no
waking until Jesus shall call them.
The surgeons had been on their
rounds of duty, and for a moment
all was quiet. Suddenly this young
man, before speechless, calls in a
clear, distinct voice :
“ Here 1”
The surgeons hastened to his side
and asked what he wished.
“Nothing,” he said ; “ they were
calling the roll in Heaven, and I an
swered to my name.”
He turned his head and was gone
—gore to join that great army whose
uniform is washed white in the blood
of the Lamb.
Reader, in the great roll call of
Eternity, when your name shall be
called, can yon answer “ Here!” Are
yon one of the soldiers of Christ,
Captain of our salvation.
Hints About Walking.
Start off with the left foot in front,
as in army practice. By doing so,
when you advance there will be noth*
ing left, and you will be right with
left in front.” Don’t expect to un
derstand this at once.
Keep your eyes in front If there
are heads ahead of you, you can thus
see ahead, and may avoid complica
tions with strangers.
If you wish to ascertain the grade
of the walk, place your feet down,
and you will, if you are wise, know
all about it. Man is a plantigrade
animal. • When you get hold of the
earth with one foot, keep a hold un
til you get the other firmly fixed in
a satisfactory place. By so doing
you will fool all the stability contem
plated in the Sunday liquor law.
When you lift up your feet, let go
of the dirt, It is not commendable
to cling to much to earthly things,
nor to walk off with what does not
belong to you,
In learning to walk, always place
one foot in advance of the other, al
ternating with left and right, for the
sake of gracefulness in movement
and ultimate advancement. Human *
advancement is often attained by the
observance of this simple rule.
When you wish to stop do so.--
By observing this rule you will often
avoid going too far.
By observing carefully these rule
you will be able to get along without
great difficulty. —New York.

the mail trail train south on the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti

station at the Delaware Junction, a
young lady, who was about to take
the cars, ran across the track, and
tripping - , fell immediately in front of
the coming train and in a second
more would have beers crushed to
death. A gentleman standing on the
platform, comprehending the situa
tion of affairs, in an instant caught
the imperilled creature a by her long,
flowing hair and literally, dragged
her from beneath the fire-flushing
wheeels, which were already clamp
ed in the clutches of the {latent air
break, which was promptly applied
by tho frightened engineer. The
young lady who was traveling alone
was soon conducted to a seat in the
car, almost stupified with fright, at
tracting the attention and sympathy
of the passengers until the train
readied this city, where she resides.’
