Savamnaii Griffin it North Ala
hama R. It—President Wadley, Gen.
Gilmer, and the Messrs Cummings
and \\ ilder of the Central Railroad,
mul Captain A. J. White, Engineer
Watt, and Contractor S. D. Smith
of the Savannah, Griffin «fc North Al
abama Railroad, were in our town on
last Monday evening. We were un
able to learn the object of these prom
inent railroaders inour midst, but pre
sume they were on an inspecting tour
of the work on the Savannah, Grif
fin it North Alabama Railroad be
tween this place and Newnan, as they
remained but a short time here, re
turning early next morning. The
presence of these distinguished gen
tlemen of the Central Railroad, that
road being deeply interested in the
early completion of the S. G. it N.
A. R. lb, and the series of letters of
an able writer in the Savannah News,
bringing prominently forward the im
portance of the early completion of
the S. G. it N. A. li. R, to Savannah,
we are disposed to think, augurs
well for the pushing forward of the
work on the above road beyond this,
and its completion, at no distant day,
to its terminus, Decatur, Alabama.
Personally.— We regret our absence
from our office one day during the
[>ast week, when we were honored by

Carr Alton Literary Society.
Society met pursuant tQ adjournment on
the 23 inst., and was called to order by the
President. The roll was called, and the min
utes of last lr.eetiug read and approved.
The report of the committee from the Berrien
Society was accepted, viz; That the question
for (lie public discussion he, “Was Napoleon
Bonaparte greater than C&sarj” The Berri
en Society will contend that Csesar was the
greater of the two, the discussion coming off
qn the I*l tli June. It is the wish of the So
cieties, that the citizens of the town and sur
rounding community give us a full atten
dance. It was further enacted. That it spiffi
be the duty of the Secretary, to continue to
publish the minutes of the meeting, and to
notify six of the Society to prepare speeches
on the affirmative side of the public debate,
and also to procure a ball, for the further
meetings of the Society.
The question selected for the next debate
reads as follows: “Is the strict "enforcement
of a bad law, the best means of obtaining its
repeal.”

“Well” said Judge Black,” “I’ll tell
you what we are truing to do. The
platform put forth at Cincinnati is a
broad, lair, democratic platform.
There is nothing passive in that. Now
if the convention that meets in Balti
more finds, in its wisdom, that Grec
ley fits the pluuqrm, wp will make
tho best light for him we can. I
have no question but when the can
vass warms up, and men take sides as
men are won't to do, that the entire
Democratic party will be found stri
ving for the right.”

Letter from R. L. R.
Editor Times —lt seems that tho
short article I wrote, and that you
was kind enough co publish, m your
issue of the 3d, inst., has aroused, and
excited the Hon. W. W. Merrell, ex
ceedingly, which has caused him to
publish one of the most contemptible
articles in your issue of the 10th, inst.,
that it lias ever been my lot to read,
Now Mr. Editor I had no idea that
calling on a Representative of the peo
ple, to answer a plain question in rela
tion to his actings and doings, while in
the Legislature, would call down upon
me such personal abuse. But so it is.
He says that he was not present at
the adoption of the resolutions I allu
ded to, that he was at Douglas Supe
rior Court, and that I knew it. Well
Mr. Editor, if I had thought at what
time Douglas Court was held, I should
have known that W. W. Merrell was
not at the adoption of said Resolu
tions. But I ask have I done him
any injustice by being mistaken as to
that fact. I answer 1 have not, for he
says in the article alluded to, that
these resolutions meet his heart} up
proval, hence, if he did not adopt
them at the meeting of the so called
Republican party, he had done so be
fore lie made Isis attack on me. So
much for my misrepresentation that
he complains of so heavily. Now
Ulr, Editor I want it distinctly under
stood that nothing that I said then,
do I take back now, except what I
have above stated. But he says I
must have meant a personal attack
upon him. I meant no such thing. But
this is the excuse he gives for making
the attack he docs on my private
character. But Mr. Editor, J have
no fears as to my character,
if none but such as have no char
acter make the assault. His scur
rility passes by me, as the idle wind.
But I will reply to that portion of his
article which has a political bearing.
It is true however, I dislike to waste
amunition on a dead cock in a pit, but
lie says a fool must be answered ac
cording to his folly. Well so mote it
be. Now my honorable and distingu
ished friend and brother W. W. Mor
rell, says that Bullock’s defalcations,
that is the stealing began after his
AJerreU’s connection with him ceased.-
That if there was £ny extravagance,
fraud or yilfipiies perpetrated upon the
people, it was after Bullock connected
himself with the Democratic party.—
Now Mr. Editor I am at the first of it?
if Bullock ever was in the least con
nected with the Democracy, and I
know of but one Democratic appoint
ment made by him. It is true he ap
pointed the lion. W. F. Wright,
(I)em.) Judge of the Superior Court,
of the Tallapoosa Circuit over the
head of W. W. Merrell, (Rad.) But
I think lie gave a good and sufficient
reason and ought to have been satisfac
tory. It was this, that he could find
no Republican in the District that had
sense enough to make a Judge. Has
any one complained of the view lie
took of the matter from that day to
this? Not one so far as I know ex
except William hjmself. But W. W.
says, he knew of no frauds, extrava
gance, no wrongs, during his official
career. Well he may not have known
of any of the wrongs complained of
so heavily by the people, for I admit
he lias no more sagacity than a chair
man of the judiciary committee should
have. But it is fair to presume lie
knew that Blodgett was superintend
dant of the State Road, and for eight
or ten long months, yea twelve, re
turned not one dollar to the state. Did
he not know that Kimball sold to the
State, through and by an Act of the
Legislature, the Opera House for
$380,009 ? Did he not know that
there was an extravagant number of
clerks, to-wit one hundred and four at
$9 per day? Did he not know that
the Legislature were holding its ses
sion longer than allowed by the Con
stitution, by at least forty so sixty
days, without the time being prolong
ed by a two-thirds vote, as provided by
that instrument ? Can he show by any
vote he cast, or by any motion he
made, that lie attempted to thwait or
prevent this extravagance ? I chal
enge him to produce it, if he can. Did
he not vote to keep himself in the
Legislature, and to prevent an elec
tion by the people, for two years
longer than provided by the Constitu
tion, in open violation of the obliga
tion lip took upon himself, when he
was admitted to q seat in that august
body ? Yes lie knpw all this and did
what I allege, and a great deal more
of which he shall hear before the end
of 1872, if I and he should live. But
this is the record of which he is proud.
Now I admit he is easy pleased, and
will inform the honorable ex-Senator
that he is the only man, either black
or white, Democrat or Radical, that I
have heard express themselves, even
satisfied, much less proud of his offi
cial course, or record, as he is pleased
to term it. Yet if a citizen of his
District dares to call him and his party,
or the party to which he belongs, to
an account for their official acts, In? is
to be charged with making a personal
attack. Low Mr. Editor, I have al
ways been taught that a member of
the Legislature was nothing more,
nothing less than the servant of the
people, and that the people have a
right, to scrutinize their official eon
duct But this distinugished gentle
man does not recognize this doctrine.
'He seems to think he is the master,
and, no one must dare call him to ac.
count for his stewardship. But I shall
take the liberty of differing with him,
on this question, and shall hold him
and the so called Republican party,
responsible for his official conduct and
the official conduct of Bullock, Blodg
ett & Cos. It was this party that put
Bullock upon us as Governor of Geor
gia. It was this party that put, yea
imposed, Merrell upon us, with the
help of the negro vote of Troup coun
ty. It was Bullock and the Radical
portion of the Senate, that imposed
Blodgett upon the people as superin
tendent on the State Road, by which
means the people have been plundered,
and defrauded to the tune of millions
of dollars. Yes Mr. Editor I hold the
Honorable W. W. Merrell, and the
Republican party politically responsi
ble. He need not expect to shift this
responsibility by his denying anv
knowledge of Bullocks rascality.
But the ex senator files the plea of
justification, in relation to his per
diem, that ip was received under a
Demoorat law, <&o. Well Mr. Editor
I do not complain so much at $0 per
diem, as at the length of the session.
Why did he not move an adjournment
of the Legislature, if lie was opposed
to extravagance. Did not the Consti
tution expressly provide that the ses
sions of the Legislature should con
tinue only forty days, unless prolong
ed by a two third vote of that body ?
I assert that it does ; and I assert fur
ther that AY AY. Men ell, according
to that record that he professes to be
proud of, made no effort to adjourn
their sitting as provided. Yet, he
continued long after the forty days
had expired to legislate for the State,
notwithstanding he took upon himself
a solemn oatli to support, protect and
defend that constitution, Now I sub
mit to all candid minds if this cry of
economy and holding all officials to a
strict accountability <fcc., does not
come with a poor grace from such a
source. But he says, he did many
good things for the people that over
balances, I suppose, the many wrongs.
One of those great acts of which he
boasts is the leaso of the State Road,
He says, that he offered a bill which
finally became a law, to take the
State Road out of the hands of poli
tics, whereby three hundred thousand
of dollars a year was made to the
State. Now I ask has lie no regard
for truth. Does not every negro know
that assertion is false. Well another
ground in his plea is, that I was form
erly a member of the Legislature, and
asks, did I not take $G per diem, and
further what great measure did R. L.
U. introduce or advocate, and did he
ever get positions for his sons, sons in
law or any one else ? Has fie any re
cord to he proud of ? What important
committee did lie serve on &c., <fe.cA
Now Air. Editor I desire to answer
every one of those questions in their
order; Ist. I did receive $G per diom
and mileage, but did not stay all the
year, in open violation of a constitu
tion that I was sworn [to support. I
am not aware that I ever voted for or
advocated any extraordinary great
measure ; neither do I think, if I had,
it would become me to boast of it.—
Modesty and politeness would forbid
any such course by a gentleman. But
I have yet to find the first one of my
constituents who objects or complains
at any vote I ever gave while serving
them in the Legislature. Can the
Honorable gentleman say as much ?
As to the 'question of the various
committees, or iji other \yords what
committees I served on 1 I Jiave this
to say. I do not recollpct what com
mittens I haved served upon, but I
have always supposed that all com
mittees created by the Legislature
were important. But I apprehend the
object the gentleman had in view, in
asking the last question answered, was,
to let all the world and the balance of
mankind know, he was chairman of
the Judiciary committee of the Sen
ate. Now that fact has long been
known to the public and it simply
proves one thing, and that alone, it
proves what a great fool Ben Conley
was to make a chairman out of a man
that was totally incompetent. It how
ever proves something more, that Bui
lock had more sense than Conley, for
Billy could not impose himself on Bul
lock for dudge. But he says I failed
to bring any money home, that I spent
it in gaming saloons, di inking saloons
and lewd houses. Well I admit thqt
I brought but little money home with
me. I alwqys kept tip my corners,
boarded at a respectable house, and
associated with the white people. I
have no doubt that if I had followed
the course of our ex-Senator, - associ
ated with the I could have
lived, cheaper. But he says further
that I had to borrow moqey from my
friends to get home on. Now Mr.
Editor I simply say that this is an
unmitigated falsehood. I never bor
rowed a dollar from any man on earth,
to qefray my expenses home from the
seat of government, and defy him or
any one else to prove it. But all this
scurrillous slang is lor the purpose of
screening himself from the main issue.
He says that he was enabled to have
a bill passed, ridding the County of |
Carroll of 'he incumbrance of R. L.
R. Yes I don't blarne him for voting
to cut off this section from Carroll. —
He was right, for out of 107 votes
polled, he received two, both colored.
But he need not told the people here
about his having anything to do with
it. They knew how, and who it was,
that concocted the whole thing. It
was not original with him, we know
all about it William, yes, don’t put
yourself to the trouble to inform us
any further. It was conceived and in
stilled into your brain, by your brother
I Ben, in his back room in company
with your brother McCurdy. We
knew that it was a Radical trick to
make old Carroll a Radical county.
But poor simpletons in that you have
been most wofully mistaken. Your
brother Ben tried it, and lie most sig
nally failed. But does not the Honor
able gentleman remember what a false
statement he made to me, after the
bill passed the House, when I went
to him at Carrollton, and desired him
to call at my house, and let me send
a petition by him to the Senate, of
which he was a member? Does he
not remember that he said to me,
give yourself no uneasiness, that lie
had no idea the bill could pass.
But Mr. Editor this is in keeping
with the party to which he belongs.
But he says that I have succeeded in
imposing myself upon the county again,
yes my scandalous self. Well the peo
ple may judge between I and him as
to the scandal each lias brought upon
the county in which we both live.
There never was a motion in the House
to which I belonged in the Legislature
to expel me, from that body for any
cause much less for certifying to a false
hood, to put money in the pocket of
my son-in-law, if this was not done in
his case he is lied upon by his own
political friends. I never voted to
keep myself in the Legislature, and
to deprive those who put me there,
from holding an election for their
choice. He did, and this is the re
cord he is proud of. I guess Mr. Editor
lie simply meang ho is proud that
he was ever permitted to make a record
iu the Legislature at gll. Well he
may thank the negros of froyp coun
ty, for I feel sure that W. G, Tuggle
bent him two to one off he white vote
polled at the time of his election. It
was a perfect God send to hint, that
the negroes were enfranchised. For I
anr sure that his name never would
have been .enrolled among the mem
bers of the Legislature without it, for
up ,to that time, the people had not
confided to him even the office of con
stable. But I presume the negroes
hemselves have become disgusted
with the choice they matlq when they
elected him, from the fact Troup coun
ty, sunt a Democrat to the House .of
Representatives last fall. Now Mr.
Editor one word more and I will dis
pense with his personal assault upon
n;o. He says that I say that politi
cians will not tell the truth. Now is
it not strange that a man will utter
such a falsehood, right in the face of
every man woman and child that read
the article I wrote. Does he not know
tliat, I said no such thing. I said that
politicians would not always do to re
ly on for truth, and I leave it to the
world to say if his scurrillous article
is not conclusive proof of that fact.
More anon on the subject of this
famous record of which William is so !
proud. R. L. R.
P. S.—Mr. Editor I had forgotten
one enquiry of the gentleman, lie
asks does the gentleman want to run
for the Legislature, Ordinary or Con
stable, of his District, and does he
suppose that in consequence of the ar
ticle he abided to, that the Democrat
ic party will take him up and run him
<fcc. Now in answer to all this, I
have this to say: If I should become
a candidate, I should in no event ex
pect or desire the support of the Hon.
W. W. Merrell. 2. That I could not
hold an office if it was tendered unless
my disabilaties, whipli were imposed
upon me by him and his sort were re
moved- So Billy keep cool on that point,
and if you have a son or son imlaw
that you think you could get in any
.q£ the offices named, put him out, as
I know you are not fool enough to
try it your-self, for well do you know
and your friends know, that you are
dead, dm-d and delivered, politically.
Your political funeral was preached
last December, and your epitaph was
inscribed in these words: Here lies the
man, who had the greatest thirst for
office, anc] the least capacity to fill one
imaginable, This was all done by
your fellow citizens in a respect
able manner, in your immediate
presence. If you doubt, call on your
friend B. M. Long. He can testify
to your death and burial, as lie was
one of the pall bearers.

Work and Win —Whatever you
try to do in life, try with all your
heart to do well; whatever you devote
yourself to, devote yourself to com
pletely; in great aims and small, be
thoroughly in earnest. Never believe
it possible that any natural or improv
ed ability can claim immunity from
the companionship of the steady,
plain, hard-working qualities, and
hope to gain its end. There is no
such thing as such fulfillment on this
earth. Some happy talent and some
fortunate opportunity may form the
two happy sides of the ladder on
which some men mount, but the
rounds of that ladder must be made
of stuff to stand wear and tear; and
there is no substitute for thorough
going, ardent, and sincere earnest

thing on which you cannot throw
your whole self; never affect deprecia

These you will find to be golden rules.

well known by an extensive circle of
friends and acquaintances.
Jt was uiy privilege to be intimate
ly acquainted with the deceased, but
it would be impossible with my feeble
pen in a short sketch to give to the
world a faint idea ofJ;cr y.;orth while
living, or her loss by death ; but I
know that her memory will be fondly
.cherished in the hearts of all who
knew her.
Iu early life, at the age of thirteen,
the .deceased made a profession of the
religion of Jesus, united herself with
the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Bold Springs, Clark county, and from
then till the time of her death, fifty
two years and some months, adorned
that profession by an humble, con
sistent Christian deportment. Though
retiring and unobtrusive in disposi
tion, by her death the church to
which she belonged, lost an efficient
and faithful member.
As one ot the heads of a numerous
family she discharged the duties of her
household with the most assiduous
care and diligence, and was to her de
voted husband a help meet indeed, the
partner of his cares .and joys, and even
with uncommon energy and the most
prudent fidelity, discharging her du
ties as a loving affectionate wife.
Asa mother I feel my utter incom
petency to express her worth, but her
children will bear testimony to her
parental faithfulness from their child
hood to mature age, and in that great
day, children ancl grand children “will
rise up and call her blessed.”
Being amply provided with the
comforts of this life, she dispensed her
bounties with a liberal hand, and her
hospitality was unbounded. Her
home was ever made a welcome home
to the ministers of Jesus, many of
whom will never forget the many
kindnesses received at her hands. As
a friend she was true and confiding,
free from flattery and ostentation, but
firm in her principles of right.
Until a few months previous to her
death, she had been blessed with more
than an ordinary degree of health for
one of her age, but during her con
tinued illness though a great sufferer,
bore it all with patience, calmness,
and resignation. And while her fami
ly and friends were hopeful of her re
covery, she often expressed her firm
conviction of her approaching death,
but without dread and with complete
resignation to the will of that Savior
in whom she placed her trust.
But if the untiring care of a devot
ed husband, the kind attentions of
children and friends, together with
faithful medical skill, could have stay
ed the messenger of death, the loved
one would have been spared to us.
But God who cannot err, in liis provi
dence ordered it otherwise. And
while we grieve to give up tire Wife,
the Mother, the Christian, the Friend,
yet “we mourn not as those without
hope.”
We have no fears but that with
her all is well. Fife gently ebbed
away. Calm and peaceful were her ex
piring moipents, and now she sleeps
in Jesus. And on the morning of
the holy Sabbath, the day on which
the blessed Saviour rose, she safelv
passed the swellings of the Jordon—
her spirit triumphantly winged its
way from earth to its home in Heav
en; and she has joined the Grand
Chorus of the Redeemed.
“She is laid in the grave! but we will not deplore
her.
Though in sorrow and darkness we compasa
her tomb;
The Saviour has passed through its portals before
her.
And the lamp of his love, as qer guide tkrougg
its gloom.”
“Sbe is laid in the grave ! and tis vain to deplore
her.
For God was her Ransom, her Guardian, her
Guide ;
tfe gave her. He took her, and lie will restore her,
♦ or death has no triumph, since Jesus has died.”
