SAMUI L 11. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor
CARTERSVILLE, QA., JANV, 20tii. I*7o.
The Legislature.
All eyes are turned, with interest
and anxiety, to this body, chmierous to
know what is to be tho final result of
the present struggle to organize. Up
to this (Tuesday,) morning, nothing
has been done. According to Gov.
Bullock’s proclamation convening-tbe
Legislature, under the Morton Bill, on
the 10th instant, the original body, coi -
sistiag of the whites, together with the
expelled negro members, elected in ac
cordance with the proclamation of
Gen. Meade, in 1868, met, in the cap
itol of the State, in Atlanta, at the
time appointed. The Senate organ- ,
ized, without much harangue, by elect -;
ing Mr. Conley, (rep.,) president, and j
was ready for business. In the House
it was different; much confusion and I
bitterness was manifested in attempt- j
ing to organize that branch ; in fact,
fire-arms was drawn and threatened ;
the contest seemed to be made, more
particularly, between the conservative
and the radical, republicans, the former
were backed up by the democrats, who
were powerless. A. L. Harris, Master
of Transportation and Supervisor of
the State R ad, (a man, in no wise,
connected-with the legislature,) was ;
appointed, by Gov. Bullock, to organ- j
ize the House. The work of swearing j
in members was commenced and was !
progressing smoothly aud peacefully, ;
marred only occasionally by a protest
from one of the negro members, (the
white radicals studiously laboring to
keep their own necks out of the halter,
aud at the same' time urging the ne-:
gro members forward). The Morton
Bill, under which the legislature should j
have been organized, forbids the in- ;
timidation of members by |
threats, or otherwise, from taking the ]
oath of office prescribed by said bill, 1
under severe penalties. The decision I
of Attorney-General Farrow as to the !
proper construction of the law regard
ing the eligibility of members, was en
deavored to be brought to bear, by the i
temporary chairman, when an appeal
was made, by the conservative wing, to
Gen. Terry, who decided that Mr. Far- j
row’s opinion was not the law. The j
chairman then proceeded to have the i
roll called and members sworn in, un-1
til it was very apparent that the con
servative wing was going to have a
clear majority of voters in . that body ;
this fact created a bustle among the
opposite wing—the rads. They ad
journed the legislature and begot them
selves to the telegraph wires, and soon
conveyed the sad intelligence to kind
red spirits at Washington, who in re
sponse ordered Gen. Terry to institute
an inquisition under the semblance of
a Military Commission, and proceed '
to investigate all flagrant violations of
law; which may, possibly, intimidate a 1
sufficient number to withdraw their!
oath of office and give them a working
majority. The legislature was duly
adjourned over from Thursday to Mon- j
day. and the inquisition was set. Tho
balance of the week was consumed in j
investigating such claimants to seats j
in the Senate as was thought had pur
gered themselves, but at the conclu
sion of the week, no such case or cases
had been determined by the commis
sion. During this short recess parti* s
Were at work. The citizens held a
meeting, composed of conservatives of
both parties, J. E. Bryant, chairman,
and adopted a preamble, ignoring par
ty differences, and setting forth the
grievances caused by the ret k’ess dis
regard of law and order, by the radi
cal. wing, and the unwarrantable as
sumption of power attempted to be
exercised by that party in organizing
the. aforesyyl body, and pacing reso
lutions asking'Gen,.Terry to interpose
with the authorities at Washington,
and have the legislature organized
in accordance with the intent of the
Morton bill, and save the State from
bankruptcy and ruin, Ac.
The legislature again convened on
Monday last, and was adjourned over
until Wednesday, noon, the 19th, in
order to give the commission time to
complete their investigation. Gov.
Bnllock sent in an order to the Treas
urer to pay to each inei ber of the
General Assembly, against whose eligi
bility no objection has been made, the
sum of SSO 00 on account of per diem
and mileag i to this date.
The following dispatch was read, on
Monday, by Col. Bryant, in the House: j
Washington, D. C., Jan. 15, 1870. j
(hi. J. E, Bryant: —Have advised ;
President and Secretary not to inter- j
sere, save to preserve order. Govern- j
or has no power whatever over Lsgis- j
iature. The act makes it felony to
disturb any member who ehoses to
take the oath, except by regular prose
cution for perjury. Nothing will stand,
not free and honest.
Geo. F. Edmunds,
32d • H’’ St,
N. R—Up to the hour of going to
press we have no further information.l
The Legislature is waiting on the coni- 1
mission to finish up their investigation.
Ex-Gov. Brown aud Attorney-General
Farrow differ in their coustrucition of
the law of eligibility. We think the
whole concern had better quit squab
j, Lling and proceed to business.
CO!H MUXICATE ».
Mr. Enrrot: I wish to make a few
remarks through the columns of your
paper, provided you have no objection,
and will promise eternal secrecy. Will
you do if? Me thinks I hear the an
swer in the affirmative—that's tdl
right then, so I’ll try my hand at
1 newspaper writing, a few “verses’*
anyhow.
You may possibly imagine my feel
ings, as can also “ Tell-Tale,” the late
illustrious correspondent of yciu* pa
per, upon attempting to write a com
munication for a newspaper—it makes
a fellow fe*d mighty big and hugely
important; it makes him think that he
is KNOWN! that he is making a name
which will live long after his body is
mouldered into dust, and one which
i posterity will never know exist
jeJ ! Now, isn’t that so, Mr. Editor?
; Without further preliminary remark?#
I will proceed. The first thing l de
i Hire to say is, that there has been some
1 ruin in Cartersville, aud a good “crop'
l of mud, as a natural sequence. I
[ merely mention this fact for fear your
readers will not find it out, and for
the purpose of informing the flowery
“Local of the Express, ’ that peihaps
after this rain is over we will have
some more of that “beautiful, sunny
weather,” of which he told us about
in last week’s Express. It is a great
blessing to a commuity to have a news
paper published in their midst, and
edited by' a man who spares neither
time nor expense to make it interest
ing; giving all the current news of the
day, keeping pace with the political
; world, and exposing the nefarious
schemes of the radicals, in attempting
i to establish a despotic Government in
the Southern States, in lieu of a Re~
publican, purchased by the blood of
our Ancestors and bequeathed to us
as a glorious heritage, &e., and tell
the people when the sun shines and
when it snows and rains—l reiterate
j that it is not only a great blessing, but
Ia great convenience and propagator
of knowledge. Mr. “Local Brevity”
seems to be exceedingly anxious to
have the Cemetery enlarged, and fixed
up; wonder what for? He also ad
mires the “wholesome and business
like decision” of Bloster Flodgett, the
new Superintendent of the W. & A. R.
R., in determining to make no prefer
ence in delivering coal, but to give us
all a little. Now, Mr. Editor, we all
know' that you ride on the ears right
often—how much does it cost you ?
Nothing! did we understand you to
say?—well, that’s cheap—believe I’ll
take a trip down to Atlanta; “don’t
allow nobody but editors and preach
ers to ride free V* you say ?—well,
ain’t lan editor ! haven’t I just been
telling the people that it had been
raining, and that it was very muddy ? j
Get round that if you can ! We see j
into it now; Bloster Flodgett, has
been made to realize his true condi j
tion, and desires to be remembered in
the prayers of all praying men, in or
der t > make his “calling and election
sure,” and also to be remembered in |
the “puff’columns of public journals,!
when he merits nothing but to be done 1
like “Haamau” was—hence, free tick
ets to editors and preachers. Taking ;
all things into consideration, we like
Bloster pretty well —can’t you get us a 1
free ticket on that puff? if you can’t,
we’ll retract it. We wait with patience ;
the sequel of your eflorts.
What has become of “Tell-Tale”—is
he dead ? He was av: ry saucy fel- \
low, and kept the people on the qui ,
vice all vhe time; and by the way, he j
told the truth on them, and they j
couldn't stand that; It won’t do to
tell the truth on a person ever} time— j
it hurts! The “female” ladies, ap-;
peared to be worse down on him than j
the ‘finale” men —why was this ? it I
was because he invariably told the
truth on them, while on the other
hand, he would not “tell the truth, j
the whole truth and nothing but truth,’ j
every time—consequently they were |
not so loud in their denunciations of j
him, as were the “female” men. But;
7 # j
this is all numbered with the “things j
that were,” and which is nothing com
pared with the things which are to be>
so saying, we dismiss the subject.
Thanking you, Mi-. Smith, for in
serting this “rip-snortin’ ” communica
tion—which you will do without fail (
as you was never known to do other
wise—we will close, by subscribing
ourself yours, &c , “Tige ”

! Ur :
Washington, Jan. 13. —The troubles
at Atlanta over the organization of the
Legislature seem to have degenerated
into a Bullock and anti-Bullock fight.
Nuniberous dispatches were received
here to-day on the subject, including
one or more from General Terry, ask
ing instructions as to his action under
certain circumstances. In the Mat
ter of local State officers interfering
u .warrantably, he was directed to act
promptly in their removal. In the
matter of the award of the seats of
unseated members, be wits instructed
to enforce the laws of Georgia on that
subject, and give the seat to the per
son having the next highest number of
votes; and as to any other obsti eks
in the organization of the Legislature
or the enforcement of the Reconstruc
tion Acts, he was instructed to act
cautiously, but, if necessary, to re
move fetich obstacles by virtue of his
authority under the laws of Congress.
This authority, be it kuown, ex e ids
even to the removal of the Provisional
Governor himself. The whole case is,
therefore, in General Terry’s hands.
From this it will be seen that under
views of the Grant Administration,
Gen. Terry is master of the situation
