The Governor’s C nvention
at Atlanta.
Tire late Convention of Governors,
’and other dignitaries, in Atlanta, could
not be called in the language of Mr.
William Arp, “a sucksess.” We
must confess, after reading the pro
ceedings, to feelings of disapointment,
both as to the numbers present, espe
cially from the North West, and a3
tojhe result of the action of those
who were in the Convention. Eleven
States, it is true, were represented by
some three hundred delegates, but
these delegates were not fr.onj the
place, we should like to have seen
them from, and as to Governors they
were “ powerfully seace,” there being
only three present, besides Gov. Smith,
viz : Gov. Brown of Tenn., Woodson
of Missouri, and Hendricks of Indiana.
Indiana and lowa were the only
Northwestern States represented, and
they only had one delegate each.
From Kentucky there was a delega
tiqn of some five or six, and from
Tennessee some dozen. The Hon.
Lewis A. Thomas of lowa, was made
temporary and Gov. Brown of len
nessec permanent chairman. All the
business of the Convention was refer
ed to a Business Committee, composed
of one from each State, represented in
the Convention. Gov. Smith as
chairman of this Committee, submit
ted a memorial, which we publish else
where, as the report of the majority
of the committee. Col. Tomlinson
Fort of Tennessee, submitted a mi
nority report, insisting that- the At
lantic and Great Western Canal and
such like enterprises, should be Na
tional highways, built, owned and
controlled by the United States Gov
ernment, without the intervention of
any corporation whatever, and that
they should also be free, only ex
acting sufficient toll to pay expenses.
A motion to make the minority report
a part of the majority was tabled by
a vote of 113 yeas, to 45 nays. On
motion, a committee of five was ap
pointed to lay this memorial before
Congress. As will be seen by readi
•ing the memorial, it favors three wa
ter lines to the Atlantic.
Louisiana Affairs. —The Piesi
dent has issued a proclamation sus
taining the Kellogg government, and
commanding all persons opposing the
same, to disperse and retire peacably
to their respective homes, within the
next twenty days. It will thus be
seen, that Grant has solved the Louisi
ana difficulty, by the interference of
Federal bayonets. It does seem to
US, that a government claiming to be
sustained by a majority of the voters
of the State, as the Kellogg govern
ment does, ought at least, to be able
to regulate its own domestic affairs,
without the interference of the gener
al government. The fact that this in
terference is necessary, is evidence to
us, that the de facto government, (so
declared by a drunken Federal Judge)
is a weak concern and does not reflect
popular sentiment.
The Modocs.— The Modocs are
again reported on their last leg«.—
They left the Lava Beds several days
ago, and have been on the retreat
sinco. About half of the tribe, tho
telegraph informs us, have sorrender
ed, and the war is considered about
over. Captain Jack, however, is still
in the field, and is running a lone
hand. The United States Soldiers
are divided into squads in the pursuit
of him, and think they will soon catch
the great Modoc.

France.
The mercurial I-renchmen are again
stirring up things. M. Thiers has
resigned the Presidency of France,
being forced to do so, it seems, from
popular sentiment which had set in
against him. Marshal McMahon has
been elected to fill bis place. The
resignation of Thiers and the election
of McMahon has -caused intense ex
citement. The Bonapartists are re
ported highly elated with the change,
as McMahon is an Irish protege of the
late Napoleon, to whom he owes his
elevation, as a soldier. The following
is the text of McMahon’s address upon
assuming the Presidency :
“I have been called through the
confidence of the National Assembly

CsS™ Avery good picture of Gov.
Smith appears in last Sunday’s Allan
ta Sun. From a short biographical
notice accompanying it, we learn that
lie was born in Twiggs county, Geor
gia, his father being a minister of the
M. E. Church. At the age of 14, his
father moved to Culloden, Monroe
county, where it is stated that in a
debating society, young Smith showed
such marked powers of debate, that
several gentlemen advised him to stu
dy law, which lie subsequently did, in
the law office of L. T. Doyal, now of
Griffin Some years before the war
Mr. Smith removed to Upson county
where he soon won the reputation of
being one of the best lawyers of that
circuit. After the war, he formed a
law copartnership with Col. P. W.
Alexander and settled in Columbus.
In 1871 lie was elected to the Legis
lature, since which time his history is
familiar to every reader. Gov. Smith
is a little over 45 years of age.
Haralson County.
The Hon. B. M. Long and Squire
Westbrooks have been on a three
days trip to Haralson county during
the past week. Squire Westbrocks is
an old citizen of Haralson, and took
Mr. Long up there to show him some
of the fine lands of that county. Mr.
L. confesses to have been somewhat
surprised at the amount of fine land
there was to be seen in Haralson, and
thinks that county can boast of some
of the snuggest farms in the State.—
They report the wheat crop as looking
finely, having improved much in ap
pearance in the last few weeks. They
uoticed some wheat turning.
We see a short paragraph go

“Measures Not Men.”
Editor Times:—l notice with re
gret, that the Democratic Press, is di
vided upon the issue suggested by the
caption of this article. Ido not fear
a serious schism, but anything that
tends to divide the party now, serves
to prevent, that steady aggregation of
strength which is our only hope of
relief, from the iniquitive measures
which have filled the public offices,
with such men only, as are capable of
executing them.
When the Democratic party runs
up a motto such as “ Measures not
Men,” it is not by any means con
ceded that the Democratic voters arc
desirous of putting bad men into of
fice, or that they are willing to ignore
personal qualifications. The principle
is, plainly this : The suffrage of the
people, must be given to the maintain
mice of those principles, upon which
our freedom depends. As to whom
they should select to represent, and
execute those principles, the voting
masses, are of necessity unable to
termine. As for myself, I should al
ways prefer a Christian gentleman j
but I am a Democrat of the Roger
William’s school, and therefore, I do
not ask, “of what religion ho is,” who
seeks my vote. Onr government is
(thank God) not a religious govern
ment. The kingdom of Christ, (again
thank God) is not of this world. Tire
qualifications that I demand, arc first,
“of what politics is the man ? ” Sec-,
cndlv, “Is he put forward by those
who know him to be capable?"
When I learn that he is actuated bv
! a love for liberty, on those principles
j upon which Mr. Jefferson launched
| the ship of State, and that lie is put
I m nomination, by those who know
him to be capable, I am satisfied. —
These qualifications, are the genuine
touch-stone of liberty, upon ttiem the
voter is satisfied, and upon these the
party can be united.
Again there is a logical necessity,
by which this truism is established,
viz: take care of the principles
AND THE PRACTICES WILL TAKE CARE
of themselves. The argument is
this: If a political party enters upon
a career, with a definite purpose ..in
view, (as for instance “centralism”)
those who join that party are pledged
to support those principles. If those
principles require in their execution,
the committing of crime, usurpation,
and oppression; only such men will
be kept in office, under them, as show
themselves, fully capable of carrying
out all the measures of the party. On
the other hand : If the principles
cluster around the constitutional com
pact, and ask for no power not grant
ed therein ; no man can hold office
under those principles, who cannot
fully sustain them, in their length,
breadth and thickness. Hence we
need fear nothing, on the score of men ,
if our measures are right.
There is yet this view to be consid
ered. Debaters not unfrequently
pursue with vigor some unguarded
expression of an adversary or some
personal issue, which if settled, one
way or the other, would in nc wise
affect the question in dispute, between,
the parties themselves, or those whom
they represent. Is it not wiser, to
disregard personal and peculiar issues,
in the discussion of questions which
affect the prosperity of a nation, tho’
those peculiarities' may be in the Chief
Magistrate himself.
Let us admit for the sake of argu
ment that, Gen. Grant is an unmiti
gated drunkard, liar and thief. What
does it signify? Not that the measures
are to be hated because such a man exe
cutes them, nor is the party to be hated
because its leader is vile ; but rather
the measures should be hated, for
their results, and the party for having
such measures, and Mr. Grant for bes
ing the Executive, for such a party.—
I his states our only just ground of
quarrel, with Gen. Grant. Those
who are personally acquainted with
him, can entertain what personal opin
ion of him they choose, such opinion
is not of national character, and does
not deserve our notice.
Then in attacking the party, don’t
waste your ammunition, on aji out post;
while you expose your flank to a frill
fire of the enemies guns. Press the
attack home to the citadel of the party,
overthrow the doctrine ot centralism,
and Grant and all others who were its
advocate, go with it. Kill off Grant and
all the other leaders, and let the doc
trine alone, and you will have attain
ed no greater victory than you now
enjoy.
A hat good then does it do to abuse
Grant? What is he ? A mere crea
ture of centralism. Kill him, and it
hurts the spirit that seeks to rob us of
our liberties, no more than the death
of a piquet before Petersburg dis
turbed his equanimity in 1864. His
party will have another man to put in
his place ; and if the successor, is ca
pable of carrying out the measures of
the party, he cannot be a great deal
better than Grant, in any sense.
I long to see the tune when
“ measures not men,” are made the
point of attack; and then we can in
scribe that motto, on our banner, as a
symbol of victory.
Respectfully,
Carroll.
Memorial.
To the Congress of the United States:
The undersingned, a committee ap
pointed by a convention held at At
lanta, Georgia, on the 20th day of
May, 1873, composed of Representa
tives from 13 States to Memorialize
Congress upon the necessity for chea
per transportation between the great
producing and consuming sections of
the country, respectfully represent:
That the vast interests, common to
all sections of the country, involved
in the opening of lines ol water com
raunications between the Atlantic sea
board and the great “ basin of the
Mississippi,” entitle the proposed
routes to the immediate and earnest
attention of the United States Gov
ernment. The necessity for cheaper
transportation is vital and urgent, and
the best means of securing it is a ques
lion the wise and speedy solution of
which depends the continued prosper
ity and contentment of the country.
To the West and South this ques
tion is of peculiar importance. Their
interests are in great measure identi
cal, being the two great producing
sections. The benefits of cheap trans
portation must be felt by all other
sections in an almost equal degree.—
In the four States of Georgia Florida
South Carolina and Alabama, there is
an annual deficiency ot fifty million’s
bushels of Grain, which must be sup
plied from the West.
This deficiency is increasing, ow
ing to the great decrease ot available
farm labor and the rapid increase of
the non producing population of those
States. When the deficiency in the
other Southern States and the conse
quent high prices for subsistence are
taken into consideration, it will be
seen at once that no question is of such
vital moment to the South as cheap
transportation.
Since 1866, the value of cotton (raw
and manufactured) exported from the
United States, amounts to $1,500,000.
I 001). This is about 60 per cent, of
! our total exports in value. Cotton is
I indeed our only reliable and remuner
ative article of export, and is the real
basis of the wealth of the whole conn
| try.
The present high rates of freight
prevent the exportation of grain from
the United States almost entirely, al
though our surplus is sufficient for the
wants of the civilized world. They
also compel the Southern States to
employ a large portion of their limi
! ted labor in the production of food
j crops, (to which their soil and climate
! are not adapted) and to that extent
deprive the West ot a market. To il
lu-t a•<: tiea\ o age production if c< r.i
in the four States mentioned is ten
bushels per acre. To make up the
deficiency in the quantity now pro
dueed it would be necessary to culti
vate at least five million (5,000,000)
acres. This acreage devoted to cot
ton would yield at least 1,250,000
bales, worth, at 15 cents per pound,
| $135,000,000. Deduct from this the
value of the corn which the same
acreage wouln produce, and we have
$72,000 000 to represent the amount
of loss suffered annually by the South
ern and Western farmers from a lack
of facilities for a cheap interchange of
products.
This direct loss is greatly increas
e'll by the reflex operation of the
causes under consideration. The high
price ot food increased the cost of the
manufacture as well as of the produc
tion of cotton, and so of every other
article we need. While the Western
farmer realizes but r pittance upon
his teeming crops, every manufactured
article which he uses comes to him
burdened by onerous and oppressive
tariffs. Cheap transportation from
the West would not only cheapen
food, but would, as a consequence, al
so cheapen labor. This result would
enable the manufacture to supply our
wants at greatly reduced prices and
would enable him to compete success
fully abroad as well us at home. Our
manufactories would increase, our ex
ports would be doubled, our shipping
interests revived and the balance of
trade would be largely in our favor
instead of against us as it now is.
Those States watered by the Mis
sissippi river and its tributaries are
the granaries of the Union, and might
be the granary of tl]e world, but iso
lated as they virtually are, for the
want of cheap and adequate transpor
tation, existing evils must increase
and spread until poverty and bank
ruptcy overshadow the whole land.
The feverish anxiety which per
vades the public mind upon this sub
ject is abundantly shown in the fact
that Congress is gravely asked to take
control of the entire railroad system of
the country, and by legislative action
regulate their charges. Whether this
would mitigate or agravate the evil— 1
whether by Congressional manage
ment, the cost of operating the roads
would be so diminished as to afford
the desired relief, are questions which
do not admit of discussion here. They
are only mentioned to show that a
great pressing necessity underlies the
whole matter, which cannot long re
main unheeded, with serious detri
ment to public interests.
The entire value of a bushel of corn,
transp rted a thousand miles by rail, is
consumed by the cost of transports"
tion. Tills leaves no profit to the
carrier, none to tire shipper, and not
one cent to the producer. So that if
the railroad should carry corn for its
actual cost and nothing more, from
St. Louis to Savannah, or from Chica
go to New York, the producer would
still receive no adequate remunera
tion for his labor. Neither can the
indenfinite multiplication of rail
roads, nor any legislative restriction as
to freight charges, cure the so
long as the actual cost of operating
railroads remains undiminished. Un
til this cost shall be reduced, by means
not known, a resort to either of the
remedies proposed will prove a mere
expedient, which, in the end, will
surely disappoint public expectation.
We do not want expedients, or par
tial remedies. A cure of the evil is
demanded by the farming interest of
the county; and to nothing short of
this should we look for permanent re
lief. Iu seeking this relief, the first
steps to be taken is to find a less cost
ly mode of transportation than that
by rail. Experience teaches us that
water furnishes the cheapest means ot
transpoatation known to the commer
cial world, and there is but little rea
son to doubt that the solution of this
whole question will be found to rest
upon the construction of great lines
of water communication between the
W est and the Seaboard, wherever na
ture has provided a way. Build the
Niagara Ship canal, connecting the
lake by an unbroken chain of naviga
tion from Chicago to the sea; connect
lake Champlain by ship canal with
the Hudson ; enlarge the Erie Canal,
if possible, extend your water lines
from the lakes to the Mississippi by
every proposed route, where nature
has provided a way; improve the nav
igation of your rivers so that barges
may pass through their entire length
without hindrance, and you will have
doue more to relieve the country from
its present troubles than we justly
hope to secure by any other means.
In this way the railroads may be made
the feeders and distributors for the
great trade and the causes
which now induce them to enter into
extensive leases and combinations, in
many instances so injurious to the
public interest, would, in a great de
gree, cease to exist.
A glance at the map will be suffi
eient to show that, from the great
lakes to the Mississippi river, there is a
vast expanse of country, divided by
the Alpalachain chain which separates
the waters of the Atlantic from those
which flow into the Gulf of Mexico.—
The Ohio and James rivers have their
sources among the mountains of this
chain; and further South, also the
Tennessee, the Coosa and the Ocmul
gee. Recent surveys have demon
strated that it is feasible to connect
by canals the Ohio with the James
river, and the Tennessee with the Oc
mulgee ; and thus, so to speak, turn
the Mississippi into the Atlantic at
Norfolk and at Savannah. The mer
its ot the James river and the Kan a
wha canal have been fully discussed,
and we will not pause here to repeat
the many reasons which have been
offered in favor of this great work. —
We crave your attention, for a mo>
ment, while we point out some of the
advantages which would flow from
the construction of tlie Atlantic
and great Western Canal, connecting
the Mississippi, through the Tennes
see river, with the .Atlantic ocean at
Savannah, Georgia.
The Tennessee enters the Ohio a
short distance above the eofhienee of
the latter with the Mississippi. From
this point the general direction ot the
Tennessee is southeast,to its great bend
at Guntersville,in the State of Alabama.
At that point the Coosa and the Ten
nessee approach each other —there
being ouly a narrow neck of land be
tween them. Across this isthmus a
canal thirty miles long would connect
these two rivers, and open navigation
to Rome, Georgia. From Rome the
route follows the Etowah to its near
est point of approach to the Ocmulgee
river, and down the latter to the City
of Macon, and thence to thesca. Na
ture has already supplied the greater
port ion of this route, and it remains
for us to complete the work which
she has so well begun. The route
lias been surveyed by distinguished
engineers of the War Department,
and lias been pronounced by them
eminently feasible.
It offers the following advanages.
First, Cheap transportation. Ac
cording to the official reports the ct&t
of transporting a ton of grain from St.
Louis to Savannah, by this route,
would be $4 BH. It costs, by rail
sl4 40 The saving upon each ton
would be $9 52-amounting in the ag
gregate to about $14,000,000 per : n*
num, upon grain alone, to be divided
between the producer and the con,
sum or.
Seoond, This route would be open
the entire year, never rendered im*
practicable by ice in whiter, nor by
drouth in summer.
Third, It would greatly increase the
coasting trade furnishing employment
during the winter months (when the
Niagara Ship-Canal shall be opened)
to the steamers and other vessels eii"
gaged during summer upon lakes.
Fourth, The route passes through
immense forests of yellow pine ; and
the West would be able to obtain the
best lumber in unlimited quantities,
and at low prices.
Fifth, It opens all the Southern
States.east of the Mississippi river,
as a market for its grain, bacon, hay
and other products, the demand for
which will constantly increase. In
this the West would be absolutely
without a competitor.
Sixth, It will furnish cheap trans*
for raw-cotton to other sec
tions, and for the manufactured article
in return. Such advantages would
certainly develop the manufacture of
cotton to a vast extent in the western
and northwest States, and eastern
States.
In view of these considm ations we
most respectfully and earnestly urge
the government of the United States
to extend such aid to these works as
will ensure their speedy construction.
