MEMOIJIF.S OF FI FT S' YEARS.
This is a recent publication, and its
author, the Hon. Wm. H. Sparks, an
old and well known citizen of the
the State of Georgia. We have read
it with no little interest and most
heartily commend it to the reading
public of Georgia. It is what its title
purports it to be, the memories of
the author; without much or very
little regard to method or system. It
is a valuable mention of facts and in
cidents connected with the founda
tion of the Government oftheUnited
States and the settlement and early
history of the State of Georgia—the
great men of the revolution, and the
great men of Georgia, much of the
interesting, and to many but little
understood history of each, their pe
culiar eharaeteristies and qualities—
the settlement of the State—the man
ners of the people, with much of an
ecdoto and sentiment, as also the
equally interesting narrative of the
settlement of Louisiana and the story
of many of her distinguished men,
form a book as readable and interest
ing and quite as profitable as any wc*
have met with for a long time. We
heartily commend it to all.

HON. T. C. GOODE.
\\ e congratulate the people of Sum

so able and eloquent and finished a
gentlemen as Air. Goode has taken his
seat in the Legislature. One of the
most brilliant men of the State, the
“Silver-Tongued Orator” is destined
to take high rank among his fellow
Legislators. It is always a matter of
gratification to see the talented men
of the State put in prominent posi
tions, and among those none can be
found more worthy or more captivat
ing than this famous orator of South-
Western Georgia. We number him
on the list of personal friends, and
predict for him a brilliant and honor
ed future.
THE BELLIGERENT HERALD.
The New York Herald thus points
out the way to settle our difficulties
with Spain:
“ Demand an immediate appology
and reparation for the numerous of
fenses of Spanish provincial and na
val authorities against the rights and
dignity of our flag, and the rights of
our citizens, with the alternative an
nexed of the armed occupation of the
island of Cuba, and we shall have a
fight and a decisive settlement. The
people are ready for it; and surely we
have had enough of Spanish outrages
and Spanish insolence, and diplomat
ic tomfoolery with the Spanish gox -
eminent.
The Cherokee Indians of Georgia,
or their descendents, have formed an
association and chosen Samuel W eil
to present their claims against the
government.
They are to have a “honeymoon”
car on the Pacific Raiiroad, w hen
the great work shall be in running
order clear through.
People who slew their swine before
Christmas, in the region of Dawson,
have lost their bacon.
nvonoETT's pakivon.
We publish to-day the proclama
tion of Mr. Conley granting a full
pardon to Foster Blodgett for any
and every crime with which he is or
may be chargedjis Superintendent of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad, or
as an individual in any matter con
nected with -aid road or its manage
ment, as well as for any mismanage
ment of said road ; and ordering his
discharge from any and all arrests
hitherto made, and from all obliga
tions or bonds for his appearance at
Court to answer for any violation of
the law, whatever, in any way con
nected with the road, and ordering
that the said Blodgett go absolutely
free from further arrests, imprison
ment, punishment or criminal liabil
ity of any character, whatever, grow
ing out of any transaction connected
with the road. We venture to say
this document stands without a par
allel in the history of the Govern
ment, and the reasons given are of so
futile a character, and so utterly un
worthy of the position of the chief ruler
of a great State, that we are forced to
think that other and private reasons
must have influenced the granting of
the pardon and the dictation of this
most extraordinary and shameful
production. Were Mr. Conley a na
tive of the State and had he been
placed in the executive chair by the
people of Georgia as their representa
tive man wearing the exec-
utive robes of office, nothing hut a
sense of shame and confusion of face
could lie felt or manifested by her
people. But, thank God, he is not
ours, nor of us, and the people with
one consent, all over the land, feel
that the stain which has thus been
placed upon the admistration of the
Government in this transaction
clings not to their skirts, but sinks its
ineffaceable and damning marks up
on the author and his horde of vaga
bond carpet-baggers and the other
carrion birds which have gathered
over the carcass of our bleeding
State, to plunder and gorge and fatten
on the public spoils. The mark is
upon him and them, and there let it
rest and blaze and burn. We have
no part or lot in this unholy thing,
and while we feel that such is the
sentiment common to every true man
in the State, we have yet to hear of
the first man public or private who
has the effrontery to endorse this cool
act of executive outrage—an outrage
upon society, upon morals, on law
and every just sentiment of a civiliz
ed and high-minded people.
The reasons advanced for the par
don of this notorious man are strange
indeed, and so altogether unheard of
and insufficient, that one is led to the
conclusion that right or wrong, some
way or any way, the pardon was to
be had, and the pardon was to be
granted. The power was in Conley’s
hands, and having the power it
should be and has been exercised in
favor of the criminal, against the
people and against the treasury. One
confessing great crimes without ex
cuse, the plunderer of the State, with
the funds in his possession and shak
ing his rascalities and his gold in the
face of the* Governor, guilt in his
pockets, guilt in his hands and guilt
proclaimed by bis tongue, demands
of the sworn executive of the State
pardon without restitution, and on
the poor plea that so great was the
presumption of prejudice against so
great a criminal absolutely confessing
his guilt, that the pardon is granted
and Blodgett goes free.
It has been estimated that for one
year the nrocegds of the State road
reached the sum of near'
and for that year, the poor sum, out
of this amount, of only $45,00a jima
paid into the treasury.’ Where is the
balance? What hits become of it?
Who has got it ? How held, how
divided! No one can tell, and now r ,
to shield enquiry, to stop proceedings,
to shut up investigation and to con
ceal the terrible mismanagement and
crime, if crime there be, this procla
mation comes in as a timely assistant
to the perpetrators of these State
iniquities. The mind is irresistably
forced to the conclusion that other
and more pressing reasons than those
which appear upon the face of the
proclamation, must have influenced
the author.
But enough of all this. Here is the
precious document, and we ask our
readers to read it, and then ask them
selves if we have got rid any too
soon of this, we hope and believe,
the last public representative of Rad
icalism in Georgia. Anew era now
dawns upon us in the ascendency of
Democracy, and emerging out of the
long and dark night of Radical rule,
with joy we hail the rising sun.
Let the case against"Blodgett pro
ceed before the courts, let him plead
his pardon, and let the court deter
mine the validity of this monstrous
act of the Governor. And if neces
sary let the case be carried to the Su
preme Court, and let it there be show n
whether a judiciary can be found "so
foolishly weak or radically corrupt as
to sustain this barefaced attempt of
the Governor to shield a criminal
whose plea is guilty. For ourselves
we cannot believe it, nor shall we un
til the cases are tried, and the pardon
sustained.
Executive Department, State op Ga., 1
Atlanta, Ga., January 9, 1872. J
To Whom it May Concern, Greeting:
Whereas, there are now pending in
the Superior Court of the county of
Fulton, in the State of Georgia, two
special presentments of the Grand Ju
ry of said county against Foster Blod
gett, a citizen of said county, one of
said presentments made and found
true by the Grand J ury at the April
term, 1871, of said court, charging
said Foster Blodgett with the offense
of larceny after a trust delegated, or
confidence reposed, alleged to have
been committed in the county afore
said, on the 7th day of January, 1871,
and the other of said special present
ments was made and found true by
the Grand Jury of said county, at the
October term, 1871, of said Superior
Court, charging the said Foster Blod
gett with the offense of larceny after
trust had been delegated, to have
been committed in the county afore
said, on the day of ,
in the year of our Lord eighten hun
dred and seventy, in which said last
presentment, it is charged that the
said Foster Blodgett, then and there,
as Superintendent of the said Western
and Atlantic Railroad, said road then
and there being the property of the
State of Georgia; he, the said Foster
Blodgett, then and there, as Superin
tendent of the said Western and At
lantic Railroad, having received said
money, and while acting as said Su
perintendant did then and there em
bezzle, steal, secrete and fraudulently
take and carry away the same accord
ing to law.” And, whereas, the late
Governor of this State in a letter ad
dressed to me, bearing date December
3, 1871, informs me that he examined
into the allegations of fraud made
against said Blodgett, in connection
with the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, and became satisfied of the said
Blodgett’s integrity in the matter,
and that the assaults upon him, the
said Blodgett, were and are intended
for political effect, and that if he, the
late Governor, had remained in the
Executive Office he should have ten
dered to the said Foster Blodgett an
Executive Pardon for any and all
criminal offenses charged against him
in connection with the management
of the said road, and requested me as
his successor to grant said pardon as
a matter of justice, and
Whereas, said Foster Blodgett has
filed his petition in the Executive De
partment asking said pardon for the
reason, that owing to the prominent
position he has occupied politically in
the State, and the great bitterness of
the Democratic party against him ; he
is fully satisfied that it is impossible
for him to obtain a fair and impar
tial trial, before a jury in this State,
and . „ , ,
Whereas, I am satisfied from my
ow n observation and other sources of
information that the said Blodgett
could not, for the reasons aforesaid,
and owing to the high state of political
excitement and prejudice, obtain a fair
and impartial trial.
Xow, therefore, I, Benjamin Con
ley, Governor of the State of Georgia,
ana Cornmander-in-Chief of the Ar
my and Navy and of the Militia
thereof, in consideration of the prem
ises, for divers other good and suffi
cient reasons me thereunto moving,
have pardoned, and do hereby pardon
the said Foster Blodgett of the offen
ces alleged against him in each of said
special presentments aforesaid, and I
do hereby grant unto said Foster
Blodgett a full, free, absolute and un
conditional pardon for any, every and
all violations of the penal code of the
State, or any part, section, or clause
thereof, in any act done, or any
omission to do any act as Superintend
ent of the Western and Atlantic Rail-
road, or as an individual in any mat
ter connected with said road or its
management, as well as for any mis
management of said road; and I here
by order that the said Foster Blodgett
be discharged from any and all ar
rests and from the obligation of all
bonds given by him for his appear
ance at any Court in this State to an
swer any charge or to answer for any
violation of the law whatever, in any
wav connected with said railroad,
and that the said Foster Blodgett go,
absolutely free from further arrests,
imprisonment, punishment, or crimi
nal liability of any character whatev
er growing out of any transaction
connected with said Western and At
lantic Railroad.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State of Georgia to
he affixed, this ninth day of Janua
ry, in the year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and seventy-two, and of
the Independence of the United
States the ninety-sixth.

Governor.
CARD FROM COLONEL JOHN W. WOF
FORD.
A Reply to Conley’n Message as Refers to
the Sale of the Cartersvllle and Van
Wert Railroad.
Editors Constitution :—The late act
ing Governor Conley, in his message
to the General Assembly on the 11th
instant, having made certain com
ments upon the sale of a part of the
Cartersvllle and Van Wert Railroad,
and the purchase of the same by a
certain “ attorney,” who he fails to
name, hut refers to me, and as Mr.
Conley has deemed the matter of suf
ficient importance to make it the sub
ject of a grave state paper to the Gen
eral Assembly, and as nearly every
one of his statements are in conflict
with the facts, I have thought proper
to ask for space to tell it as it is.
1. I was not the attorney of the
plaintiffs in fi fa, in whose favor the
road was sold. Colonel Warren Akin
was that attorney.
2. The road w T as not sold under
“ one or more” small executions, but
under some forty Justice Court fi fas,
aggregating some $3,000, Over these
executions I had no control, and nev
er sought to exercise any. I have
never even spoken to Colonel Akin
upon the subject.
3. I was not the attorney of the
complainants in the bill to which Mr.
Conley referred, and had no interest
in common with the complainants,
except to fight Clews and Conley, and
their agents. Eaves & McGinty,
creditors of the road, and who had
built much of it, were my clients,
complainants in the bill. I b$J Bond
Judge Farrottrequired. Colonel Ab
da Johnson, who was the solicitor of
the complainants, had that and the
bill in hand, and no doubt managed it
to the best of his ability.
4. Mr. Conley says I (the “ said at
torney”) told Colonel Printup, on the
morning of the sale, that the road
would not be sold- All I beg leave
to say is I told Col. P. no such thing.
The conversation between Col. Prin
tup and myself occurred in my law
office in the presence of Mr. E. B. Mc-
Daniel, to whom I appeal for support
of what I here state. Mr. Conley says
the Sheritf told Colonel Printup there
would be no sale. I have neither.seen
nor spoken to theSheriffsineetheday
of sale; but since this statement has
been made I have had the Sheriff ask
ed. and I am informed through chan
nels I cannot doubt, that the Sheriff
asserts positively he told Col. Printup
no such thing.
I will now conclude with one re
mark : I have done nothing in this
matter but what is fair, open and
above-board; nothing but what lam
willing for the world to knowx I have
done nothing but exercise my right to
bid for and buy property exposed at
public sale—a sale with w hich I had
nothing to do and over which I exer
cised no control. I have bought the
property, paid for it, and I am in pos
session of it. Mr. Conley is right
when he says I claim it as my own
against the bondholders.
All I ask is an open field and fair
fight with Clews and his bonds. Ido
complain, and think I have a right to
complain that the great power of the
Executive office of the State of Geor
gia is used for the benefit of this Yan
kee holder of fraudulent and illegal
bonds—bonds which he signed as an
officer of this railroad company, and
which he knew' were indorsed by Bul
lock and issued in violation of the
Constitution and laws of Georgia.
Georgia has no interest in this con
troversy. Let Clews and I fight it
out. John W. Wofford.

CARTERSVILLE
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
1872.
We, the subscribers, will commence our ex
ercises in the above Institute, on the
SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872.
There will be three departments in this In
stitution, viz : Scholastic, Academic, and Col
legiate, tlierebv enabling the citizens of Car
tersville, and the adjacent country, to enjoy the
privilege of giving their children a complete
and thorough education, which, heretofore, they
have been compelled to seek in distant institu
tions. Whilst, at present, we are compelled to
teach the elementary branches, in order to sus
tain ourselves, yet our ultimate aim will be to
build up an Institution of the highest order.
We intend to prepare the youth who may be
entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, either
of private or of public life ; and w hilst we are
imparting that knowledge, and those scientific
principles which will enable them to take a
high and distinguished stand among their l'el
low-men, we wi 11 also instruct them in that
higher knowledge and moral culture, which
alone can elevate man for that sphere which
God intended him to fill.
This Institution will consist of Male and Fe
male scholars, giving girls here a chance to
prepare themselves either for teachers or for
business stations in life, thus enabling them to
make an independent living.
The tuition will be from $2 00 to SSOO per
month, according to grade, payable monthly.
The government of this institution will lie
mild, out firm. As order is the first law of na
ture, so children must, ami will, be governed,
that are entrusted to our care.
Large boys and girls will be put upon their
parole of honor, and if they do, at auy time,
violate the rules of the institution, they must
immediately reform, or else retire from the
Institution.
As no corruptiugnordemoralizing influence
will be tolerated in this Institution, our rules
are simply obedience and hard study ; and if
parents or guardians will give us their co-op
eration, they will be sure to get the worth of
their money. We intend to have our Institution
incorporated, so as to confer degrees.
