North and South Rail Road.
This enterprise started b ; ut little
°ver twelve months ggo, without mon
ey or credit, is a fine illustration of
what energy and pluck can do, and
shows that where there is a will, there
is a way. The North and South Road,
is now beyond a doubt, an establish
ed enterprise, upon a permanent foot
ing, ami at the present rate work is
being d-onc, the whole line from Co
lumbus to Rome will be finished in a
year or two. The, surveying corps on
th-e Southern end, are at this time, in
the adjoining pounty of Heard, and
our citizens will ere long, wo jso
sumo, be asked to give their aid in
having the line surveyed through this
county. This we hope they will do
cheerfully, as all are aware of the im
portance of railroad facilities, in these
days of steam and electricity.
The first annual Convention of
the Stock holders has recently-been
held at La Grange, and the following
■gentlemen unanimously elected *ctirec
tors for the ensuing year : W. A.
V v
MeDougald, Jnp. King, I*. Preer and
T. E. Blanchard, Columbus; F. A.
Frost, La Grange ; and Jno. T. Ruins,
and Archie Griffith, Rome. W. A.
MeDougald was rc elected President,
IV. J. IVing, Chief Engineer, and W.
D. Chipley Secretary and Treasurer.
The amount of stock represented was
$348,000. The next meeting of the
stockholders will take place in Cos
lumbus.
From the '.President’s and Chief
Engineer’s reports read at the meet
ing of the Stockholders, we glean the
following facts, as to what is doing
and has been done on the road.
From -Columbus northward to La
Grange, and from Rome Southward to
Dugdown Mountain, altogether a dis
tance of 73 miles, the road has been
located. At Rome 20 miles is under
contract, and the entire line, except
what has been finished, between Co
lumbus and La Grange, and by No
vember Ist. the superstructure between
the two latter points, will be finished.
At Columbus over six miles of track
are laid, and material on hand to com
plete 20 miles in sixty days The
grading has been entirely completed
from Columbus to Hamilton a distance
of miles, and over 42 miles alto
gether has been entirely graded. The
company have secured 97 miles right
of way'.
In connection with the above, we
learn from the last Franklin News,
tliat the engineer corps reached the
river opposite that place on the 15th
inst. They came by wav of Liberty Hill,
making the distance miles. It is
the intention of the corps to go back
down the river and run a line from
Holmes' Ferry by way of Gruball—
The route surveyed is reported entire
ly practicable and easy of construe
t ion.
fftaU Sowcoi the Grant Republicans
are frequently charging that the Dem
ocrats have gone over to the Greeley
and Sumner wing of the Radical par
ty. Now this is all bosh, and is dcs
igned to prejudice Democrats who’
are not posted, and keep them from
supporting Greeley. Tin* truth is,
that Greeley and the Liberal Repub
licans, have come over to the position
of the Democrats, upon the great is
sue of the day, which is local self-gov
eminent, against centralization. As
Jo Charles Sumner, he does not belong
to the Liberal Republican party, and
we predict lie never will, notwith
standing his hatred for Grant. 'Fite
lugging of his name in with Greeley’s
is a small trick of the Radicals, done
for effect. .
■ ■ ~
Philadelphia Age, Louisville
Ledger, Mobile Register, and various
other influential Democratic papers,
which have heretofore opposed Grce
ley, now since he has been nominated
by the Baltimore Convention, have
expressed their intention Os supporting
the ticket, as they will in no way he
responsible for the election of Grant.

State and United State s Rights.
Editor I hues : —ln your attempt
to answer my short article on “ States
rights, and United States rights ” you
quote the first article of the treaty
with Great Brittain, and assume, that
it recognizes the sovereignty of the
States separately*. Why my dear sir,
the Article as quoted by you, “ falsi"
fies ” your conclusion.
“His Brittanic majesty acknowl
edges the said United States to-wit :
(naming all the States,) to be free,
sovereign am] independent States;
that he treats with them as such ; and j
for himself, his heirs and successors, !
relinquishess all claims to the govern
ment property, and territorial rights
of the. same, and every part thereof.”
“ Government property and ted
torial rights.” Now what power were
these relinquished to, if not to the
United States? Was it to the States
respectively, one thirteenth to each of
the thirteen States? We think this
idea, “ falsifies history.” But you
say that “ this sovereignty has never
been parted with by the States.” This
is true, because the States separately
never possessed sovereignty, and
therefore could not part with what
they never possessed. *
Sovereignty was won by the States
United, and when so won it vested
in them as such; and not in each
separately*. What attribute of sov
ereignty did any State ever possess ? ”
Has there ever been a time when a
State could legally* coin money*, or
regulate the value thereof, regulate
commerce, declare war, conclude
peace, raise armies, provide and sup
port a navy*, “treat” with foreign pow'
ers, levy duties imposts or esrjses, or
■define who may be her own citizens.
Until the late amendment co the Con
stitution, “ Citizen iof fi State” was
barely recognized as correct language.
It was “ citizen of the United States”
and “ inhabitant of the State.” Sen
alors and Representatives in Congress
were required to have been citizens of
the United States a certain number of
years, and inhabitants of the States at
the time of election Ac.
Now Mr. Editor, as to your gratw
tous statement that “the party to
which the gentleman belongs is mov
ing heaven and earth to make it a con
solidated despotism. To do this they
have dared to go out side of the con
stitution as is admitted by their lead
ers, under the pica of protecting the
people, have invaded States, *
have taken prisoners from the State
Courts where they were to be tried
for offences committed against the
State, and after a drum head trial by
United States authorities, sentenced
them to imprisonment for years in a
distant clime.” I have only to say
that I regret exceedingly*, that the
Editor of the Carroll County Times,
(whose columns he announced to be
open for the discussion of all subjects
of general interest to the people,) has
allowed his party zeal to load him (un
intentionally* or ignorantly we charita
bly* suppose) to thus “falsify history.”
This is a mere rehash of a slander,
perpetrated by* the opposition press
four years ago. They further said
that if Grant was elected, there never
would be another election for Presi
dent. That lie would declare himself
militarv dictator, Ac. Give us some
evidence to support these grave
charges. What act has the party
done, what word has it written, or
line has it written, to show that it in
tends to establish a military despotism?
Where when and who was taken from
State Courts, and tried by a drum
head United States authority and
sentenced imprisonment for years in a
distant clime ? When did the party
go outside of the Constitution, and
what leaders admitted it?
Now Mr. Editor, I respectfully sub
mit, ought not this mode of political
warfare to cease, now that your party
has abandoned its former principles
and joined the Greeley and Sumner
Radicals ? You cannot ignore the
fact, that, they ever have represented
the Radical wing of the Republican
partv, l xion Ren uuio.w
Kc iily to the Above.
We have no disposition to dismiss,
at this time the status of the States
previous to the war for independence
in 1770, tor we most certainly consid
er this one ot the “dead issues.’ f
they were free and sovereign at that
time, has never been a question of dis
pute. among the statesmen of the
eountrv, as it is generally conceded,
even bv those, who believed that they
afterwards became consolidated into
a nation, that at that period, they were
sovereign and independent. The po
sition therefore of ‘TTnion 1 republi
can,” is novel, and we think untenable.
We still maintain that the article of
the treaty quoted bears us out in the
conclusion we arrived at, as any un
prejudiced reader will precei ve by
reading it closely. This conclusion is
also sustained by repeated decisions of
the United States Supreme court, just
after tin* war of 177fi. We have not
space to quote these decisions here.
They can \*e seen by any one wishing
to read them, in Vo!. 1, Col. 2, of
Stephen’s Constitutional View of the
War.
Now for the second part of “Union
Republicans/ article, which Is upon
“live issues,” we will have something
to say. The indignation which “Un
ion Republican assumes, because we
spoke a little plainly*, about the tenden.
cy of Radical legislation in this coun
try*, m our article of the 12th, is, under
the circumstances, somewhat refresh
ing. The idea of asking us for evi
dence, that his party intended to make
a consolidated despotism out of the
government, is, we must beg leave to
say*, decidedly* cool, as he very well
knows, that martial law was recently
proclaimed in a time of peace, in the
adjoining States of North and South
Carolina, the habeas corpus suspended,
and the jurisdiction of the State
courts usurped by the United States
go\ernment. Ihcse and various oth
cr acts of his party*, sustain, our charge
as any one who is not carried away
by “party zeal,” will :,dmit. 2, In
Alabama recently* three citizens wore
taken from Elmore cc nnty jail, by the
Lnited States author’.ties, tried in the
L. S. District coir t, before the no
torious Dick Bust* <ed, and upon the
evidence of igr orant negroes, sen
fenced to suffer /or years from close
confinement iff the State of New York.
3. As to when, his party went outside
the constitut .oiv we answer, repeated
ly during tl t e Reconstruction legisla
ture, as was admitted by Thaddeus
Stevens imd others who were its lead
ers at 1 nat time.
“Union Republican” closes by ob
ject'jig to the truth being told about
his party. For this we do not blame
ldm, as its record is such, as to drive
out from its ranks, all just and fair
thinking men, who still love the gov
ernment as founded by our fathers,
and who are not willing to see it con
solidated into a despotism. Hence
the Liberal Republican movement,
which brings over to the position of
the Democrats, upon some of the most
important issues of the day, a large
wing of the Republican party, which
is daily increasing in' slremrth.

(Communicated.)
Editor Times Carroll lias always
been Democratic. The vote of “Old
Carroll” has decided many hard fought
battles of the party. When Con
gressional Districts were organized in
our State, Gen. Hugh A. Haralson?
the Democratic candidate was elecled
to three successive terms by the vote
of Carroll; and, at least, one Gover
nor (Towns,) was saved to the De
mocracy by her vote. Ic has always
seemed to be the motto of the Demo
crats of Carroll that “ the nomination
is right, vote for the nominees and
ask ’ Now is the time
to ask the question, as the old king
did concerning Mordecai “ what honor
or dignity hath been done to the”
Democracy of Cur roll for this ?
Why lias Carroll never had a Judge?
Solicitor, Congressman, or “any other
man,” to fill an office in the gift of the
Democracy of the District, the Cir
cuit or the State ? Is it because we
have had no man qualified for these
positions? We think not. But if
’that has heretofore, at any time been
true, the fact certainly does not now
exist, for we have in Carroll more
than one gentleman “worthy and well
qualified ” to represent our District in
the next Congress of the United
States, among whom we would es
pecially mention Prof. John M. Rich
ardson, a gentleman of eminent liter
ary attainments, and sound practical
judgment, a gallant exconfederate
soldier, having 10-1 a limb on the field
of battle where lie stood boldly and
manfully in defense of the cause
which he concienciously believed, to
be that of Liberty, and of his beloved,
native South.
In high moral tone and gentlemanly
deportment he is unsurpassed.
In short, Maj. Richardson is a cul
tivated Christian gentlemanjand a true
patriot. While he is engaged in pre
siding over the Carrollton Masonic
Institute” at this time, and not an
active politician, he is as true to De
mocracy as the needle is to the pole.
Should the Covention, to assemble
in the early future, nominate Major
Richardson, it will do an aetof justice
to the democracy of Carroll and an
honor to its delegates: and being
elected, he will do honor not only to
his county and district, but to his be
loved Georgia.
A Carroll Democrat.
ffcr* The Demqcratic Stale Conven
tion to nominate a Governor and ap
point electors, met on last Wednes
day, in Atlanta. From what we can
learn through our exchanges, Smith
has the inside track, and will undoubt
edly be nominated. We will lfear the
result by this evening’s mail.
Greeley’s pros|#*cts are bright
ening every day. In the great North
west, where the battle will be mainly
fought, ti is Republican strength
seems to be strongest. With the
present lights before us, we candidly
believe he will be elected by a large
majority. '

Governor s Message.
The Legislature convened in Atlan
ta last week. We shall try and keep
our readers posted upon all important
acts passed by this body. The follow
ing epitome of Gov. Smith’s message is
taken from the Atlanta correspondence
of the Savannah News ;
% The Governor’s message was receiv
ed read and two hundred copies or
dered to be printed. The message is
a long able document, and a synop
sis will not do it justice. But a rapid
sketch of the various subjects touched
upon may not be uninteresting to your
readers.
Alter a brief review of the condi
tion of affairs from his inauguration
until the present time, the message
touches upon tlie following subjects :
FRAUDULENT RONDS.
On the grievances of the State the
Governor says that while it is proper to
withhold extended remarks on bond s
and claims, investigated by a commit
tee, until the committee reports, he
feels constrained to say that the State
is bound to redeem only such obliga
tions as are issued in conformity to
the law. If money raised upon un
authorized securities lias come to the
Treasury, the State is bound to ac
count for it, but considerations of public
policy forbid recognition of contracts
entered into by uuinaiithorized per
sons.
EX ECUTIve RIGI ITS.
A Governor lias no right to issue
bonds unless specially authorizd by
the Legislature. He then becomes
a special agent, and cannot transcend
the limits of the grant of power, 1 Ar
sons having business with public
agents in such matters are bound to
look to their authority.
THE STATE DEBT.
The State debt created before July,
18G8, was five millions and two thou
sand dollars. To meet the bonds
j falling due the present summer, the
; Governor issued seven hundred thou
sand dollars in bonds, and borrow
ed two hundred thousand dollars to
pay the interest thereon front the
National Bank of Commerce.
FINANCIAL AGENT OF THE STATE.
That bank was made the State
agents in exchanging new bonds for
old ones, on the following conditions :
That if the holders of old bonds will
not exchange, the State will continue
to pay the interest on the old bonds.
The Governor asks the Legislature to
sanction the arrangement.
GOV ERXOR .1 EX Is. EXS.
lie thanks ex-Governor Jenkins for
acting as State agent without pay.
RIGID ECONOMY. ,
By the wasteful expenditures of the
late administration it became necessa
ry to resort to the doubtful expedicn
ey of a short loan. The present im
poverished condition of the country
renders the practice of the most rigid
economy indispensable.
FLOATING DEBT OF THE STATE ROAD.
Attention is called to the propriety of
provision for the payment of the float
ing debt of the State Road, of which
a large amount is outstanding, besides
half a m ill on paid by Bullock.
NO WARRANTS.
No warrants have been issued since
he came into office.
THE STATE LEASE.
The' Govenor transmits copies, of
all papers touching the State Road
lease. The rental has been regularly
paid. The Committee on the Lease
will scroll submit its report, and any
discussion of the subject till then
would be premature. The magni
tude of the interests involved and the
concern which the transaction lias ex
cited in tlie public mind render it prop
er that he should invoke the exercise
of the highest wisdom and justice.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
The attempt to establish the school
system has not been crowned witli
anticipated success. It has been im
practicable to raise means at once to
carry out so expensive a system. The
lav** as it now stands, though an im
provement upon the old law, is still
defective. He cannot too urgently
recommend that provision be made
for the payment of teachers. The li
thographed bonds issued bv Bullock in
lieu of the school fund were so badly
executed that thev could not be
used.
THE Land scrip.
The land scrip was sold by Conley
for two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, of which fifty thousand dollars
have been * receivd. The remainder
will be paid next week.
THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Finding that the time in which
the College must be established would
expire before the meeting of the Leg
islature, and unwilling to lose the
money, it became his duty to save
the fund by the exercise of the pow
er conferred on him. Several insti
tutions of learning in the state, and
several localities desired a College,
but the act <4 Congress required that
the College be actually established by
July. By the terms of its charter the
State University possessed the power
at once to establish such a College,
and only by the prompt exercise of
this power was the fund saved. For
these reasons he gave the fund to that
institution.
THE PARDONING POWER.
In the present state of society he
felt it to he his duty to confine the
pardoning power in the strictest lim
its. The Courts constit ite the* prop- ;
er tribunal for the trial of offences,
and it is no part of the Governor’s
duty to screen the guilty from pun-1
reli ment.. Impressed with the con vie- j
tion that good order, peace and the :
w eliaie of depend upon the 1
enforcement of the Iti'V, lit* has refused
to interfere with the judgment of the j
Courts.
TIJE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
lie recommends that action be
taken with regard to the Lunatic Asy
lum. Reforms are to be introduced
and abuses corrected.
limps roll MAIMED SOLDIERS.
The Governor states that their are
many maimed State and Contaderate
soldiers without limbs, and asks an
appropriation for their purchase.
TIIE DEAD OF GEORGIA.
The Governor says that the remains
of over two thousand dead Georgia
i soldiers remain uncared for where
; they fell, and asks an appropriatson to
S have then* gathered up. Our people
! are poor and the State is cramped in
1 her finances, for the stranger and
spoiler have been among us, but we
are not so poor that we cannot bury
| our dead.
MILITARY INTERFERENCE.
lie alludes to the attempt made by
the military to interfere in State af
lairs and his action in the premises.
He hoped we would have no more, as
there is neither reason nor cause foi>
j it but if another attempt is made he
j would still feel it his duty to protest
! with the earnestness of outraged
I justice.

Editor Times : —The selection of
one able and active member, to repre
sent our District in the representative
department of Congress, is a question
iu which there is already considerable
interest manifested.
is mv desire to see the live Democ
racy of this State and country put for

their increasing ranks ; incorruptible
advocates of those great and everlast

superiority of which were so lately
recognized and acknowledged by the
concurrent voices of two of the most
important and intelligent bodies ever
assembled in America.
There are unswerving democrats,
devoted Southern men, brave and true,
throughout the District, whose zeal

eminent, and whose ability and man
hood to defend and advocate the prin

impoverished citizens all over the
Southern land, recommend them for
posts of honor and stations ot respon
sibility, in making and shaping the
laws of the land. *
One such man is our distinguished

accordance with the wishes of tlis

Cincinnatti Platform.
We recognize the equality ofall men before the
law. and hold that is the duty Os the government in
its dealings with the people to mete out equal and
exact justice to all of whatever nativity, race, col
or or persuasion, religious or political. '
si. lEe pledge ourselves to maintain tnc union of
these States, emancipation and enfranchisement,
and to oppose any re-opening of the questions ae».
tied by tlie 13th 14th and loth amendments to the
Condition.
' He demand the immediate and absolute remov
al of all disabilities, imposed on account of the re
bellion, which was finally subdued several years
ago, belie\*sig that universal amnesty will result
in coiul
no man lor political offenses, and warmly
welcomed all who proved their loyalty l»y
obeying the laws and dealing justly with
their neighbors. It has steadily decreased
with firm hand, the resultant disorders of a
great war, and initiated a wise and humane
policy towards the Indians. The Pacific rail
road and similar vast enterprises have been
generally aided and successfully conducted,
the public lands freely given to actual settlers
immigration protected and encouraged, and
a full acknowledgment of the naturalized cit
izens’ rights secured troin European powers.
A uniform National currency has been pro
vided, repudiation frowned down; the Nation
al credit sustained under most extaordinary
burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower
rate; the revenus have Ijccii carefully collect
ed and honestly applied, despite annual large
redactions of the rate of taxation; the public
debt has been reduced, during Gen. Grant's
Presidency, at the rate ot' a hundred millions
I a year; great financial Crises have been avert
; e<l, and peace and plenty prevail throughout
' the land: menacing foreign difficulties have
* been peacefully and honorably composed
and tho honor and power of the nation kept
in high respect througout the world.
This glorious recoid of the past is the par
ty's best pledge of the future. We believe
the party will not entrust the government to
any, or combination of men. composed chief
ly of those who resisted every step of this
beneficial progress.
2. Complete lil>erty and exact equality, in
the engoyment of all civil, political and pub
lic rights should he establised and ettectual
!y maintaned throughout the Union, by effi
cient and appropriate Slate and Federal leg
islation, Neither the law nor its administra
tion should animate any discrimina
tion in respect to citizens, by reason of race,
creed, color or previous c ondition of servitude
3. The recent amendments to the constitu
tion should be cordially sustained, because
! teliv are right, and not merely tolerated be
cause they are law, and should be carried out
according to their spirit by appropriate legis
i lafion, the enforcement of which can safely
be entrusted only to the party that secured
those amendments.
4- The hational goverment should seek to
maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, and sym
pathizing with all people who strive for great
er liberty.
5. Any system of civil service, under which
the subordinate positions of the Government
are considered rewards for mere party zeal,
ia fatally demoralizing, and we therefore, fa
vor a reform of the system, by laws which
shall abolish the evils of patronage, and make
honesty, efficiency and fidelity, the essential
qualifications for public position.
(J. We are opposed to further grants of ptih
lic lands to corporations and monopilies, and
demand that the national domain be set
Stpart for free homes for the people.
7. 7Ve hold in undying honor the soldiers
and sailors, whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are a sac-ed debt of the nation
and the widows and orphans of those who
died for their country, are entitled to the
care of an additional legislation, and will ex
tend the bounty of the government to all our
soldiers sailors who were honorably discharg
ed, and who, in the time of duty, became
disabled, without regard to the length of ser
vice or the cause of such discharge.
8 The doctrine of Great Britain and oth
i er European powers concerning allegiance,
i that once a subject always a subject, having
at last through the efforts of the Republican
party been abandoned, and the Aeinrican idea
of the individual's right to transfer allegiance
| having been accepted by European nations,
, it is the duty of our government to guard
with jealous care the rights of adopt
; ed citizens, against the assumption of unau
; thorized claims, by their former governments.
! and we urge continual careful encourage
| inent and protection of voluntary immigration
9. The frankinfj# privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prepared lbr a speedy
reduction in the rate of postage.
10. Among the questions which press for
attention is that which concerns the relations :
of capital and labor, and the Republican par ,
ty recognize the doty of sc shaping legisla- :
tion as to secure full protection and the am
i plest field for labor—the creator of all cap
ital—the largest opportunities and a just
share of the mutual profits of these two
great servants of civilization.
11. Wife hold that Congress and the Pres
ident have only performed an impe: alive flu
tv. in their measures for the suppression of
violent and treasonable organisations, in cer
tain lately rebellions regions, and for the
protection of the ballot box, and that there
fore, they are entitled to the thanks of the
nation.
12. We denounce repudiation of the pub
