CARTEBSVILg. GA, WMABY 13.1873.
‘*J. N.,” postpones his lecture, in
this city, until Friday night, the 28th
of Februrary, 1873, at the City Hall,
when he will “lift the veil.”
THE STATE ROAD.
For thetast week or two this Road
has been in constant trouble. Collis
ions and run offs have been the order
of the day, w ith now and then the
falling in or washing away of a
bridge, 't he mails are delayed, and
freight and passengers put out of
time, very much to public inconven
ience. The road bed itself is in bud
order, beiug more uneven, and as we
think, less safe than it has been for
some time. The very great severity
of the Winter, and the immense a
mount of traffic on the road, may, in
a very great measure, account for the
accidents which so continually startle
the public, and yet we can but think
that it must be in some considerable
measure, attributable to negligence,
or carlessness, on the part of the ope
ratives, or its authorities, or both.
For h»!ih time it has been considered
<langcM>us to ride on the road, but as
this is the only mode of conveyance
offered to this portion of the country,
men of business have to take the
chances, and “go it blind.” Now
that Gov. Brown has come back from
his Cuban expedition, we hope to
see a return to the old safe and expe
ditious way of bobbing along on the
road. It will be better for the trav
eller, and pay better too to the Les
sees.
THE BOND QUESTION.
This whole matter, so deeply in
volving the interests of the people of
Georgia and the good name of the
.State, underwent, last year, a most
thorough and faithful investigation,
both on the part of the press, our
most prominent and intelligent citi
zens, and the Legislature of the State,
when it was solemnly determined
that in no event would Georgia sub
mit to be defrauded in the payment
of illegal bonds in the hands of fraud
ulent holders, but that whenever, in
any case, she was honestly indebted,
the obligation should be discharged
to the last dollar. It was thought
that this decision, so made, would be
final, and put an end'to’the whole
matter. But the bond holders, with
the voracity of the horse leach, cling
to every shadow of a hope for the fi
nal success of their claims against the
State, and are now beseiging the Leg
islature, in every possible way, for
the furtherance of their views. We
understand, too, that some impres
sion has been made by them in quar
ters not expected, and that a public
sentiment is said to be growing at
Atlanta favorable to their schemes.
All we have to say, just now, is, that
we trust and believe that there is vir
tue and intelligence sufficient in the
Legislature to overthrow this persist
ent attempt upon the Treasury and
labor of our people, and that any leg
islator or public man who shall favor
tms course,- may Hereafter looK Tor
countenance and support from the
bond holder if he will, but not from
the people of Georgia. The case is a
clear one. If we owe one dollar, or
millions, justly, let us pay it, to the
last cent, if the claims are unjust and
illegal, let us close the debate, and.
abide by our decision already made.

Willard’s Hotel, j
Washington, D. C.,
February 6th, 1873 )
IN THE LOUISIANA “INVESTIGAT
ING COMMITTEE ROOM.”
At the head of a long table in the
center of the room sits Senator Mor
ton, of Indiana; Chairman of the
Committee. Morton has a decidedly
vulgar face; a complexion about mid
way between olive and green, a pug
nose, showing arrested developement,
and a dull muddyish eye; a very
large head well formed, slightly bald,
carelessly stuck upon his neck, nev
ertheless shows him to be a man of
great intellectual power. On the
right of the chairman sits Lyman
Trumbull, of Illinoise, a man of ordi
nary size, of small well-perched head,
prominent grey eyes, and a face devel
oping much culture and great affa
bility. Trumbull is the very ideal
of a great lawyer. Asa lawyer he
has probably not an equal in the Sen
ate, except Thurman, of Ohio. In
this “investigating” business it is
easy to see that Morton and Trum
bull are pitted against each other.
When a witness speaks of “Injunc
tions backed up by the military Trum
bull becomes very earnest, pointed
and powerful. It is generally thought
here that the committee will report
“no legal government in Louisiana,”
and recommend anew election; -but
from what I have seen in the com
mittee room I am confident that
Morton, with the majority of the
qommittee, will report favorably to
Pinchback, while Trumbull will
make a minority report in favor of
Warmouth. In this event Trum
bull’s speech on the occasion may be
looked forward to as one of the great
est in our history.
WARMOUTH AND PINCHBACK.
Oh Trumbull’s right, leaning very
far back in his chair, his head reared
back and resting upon his hands lock
<?d behind it, sits a young looking
man, apparently not more than twen
ty-five, of fine well-shaped head and
face, piercing grey eyes, very tall,
spare, and straight, great mustache,
and greater impudence. There is
nothing vulgar, nothing low or mean
about the man, but it needs but a
glance of his fierce, flashing eye tp tell
you that he is not a man that would
hesitate a moment to remove any
thing that he considered in his way.
Yet there is a kind of attraction a
bout his eye, even a sort of fierce fas
cination, and you cannot help but
admire him, if only for his magniffl
cent audacity. I need hardly add
that this man is the notorious Gov
ernor Warmouth. At the foot of the
table, cigar in mouth, is a young,
handsome looking, well dressed,
bright mulatto; this is “Gevernor”
Pinchback. Pinchback is evidently
a man of some education, a good deal
of brains, and a good deal more of
shrewdness, but he cowers before
Warmouth.
SENATOR NORWOOD,
I made the acquaintance of our
Senator, Hon. Thomas M. Norwood,
last Monday. He had just succeeded
in getting ihrough the Senate a bill
introduced in the House by General
Young, appropriating SIIO,OOO for
public buildings in Atlanta. I have
been very favorably impressed with
the Senator. He says that we need
“working” Congressmen, not “speak
ing” ones; and to this conviction,
that he could thus best serve the in
terests of the State, may be attribu
ted the quiet course which he has pur
sued. He will accept our thanks for
many courtesies.
GENERAL YOUNG.
If any man in his district doubts
that Gen. Young is the right man in
the right place, let him come here
and spend a few days, and he will
no longer doubt. He is universally
considered here, not only as the head
of the Georgia delegation, but as one
of the very best members of the
House. Naturally of very fine ad
dress, and great personal magnetism,
he has taken pains to make himself
immensely popular, thereby acquir
ing influence in the House, in the
Senate, and in the lobby, all of which
he uses for the advancement of his
district and State. Just here I may
mention the fact that it was General
Young who, two years ago, introduc
ed a bill appropriating $300,000 for a
public building in Atlanty, rightly
calculating that the committee w’ould
recommend about $200,000. The com
mittee did so recommend, but Red
head Bigby said that SIOO,OOO was
enough, and the bill was so amended
arid passed the House. When the
bill came before the Senate commit
tee, General Young urged, and ob
tained an amendment granting $lO,-
000 additional, and it was so passed
by the Senate. I may barely men
tion, in passing, that Simon Came
ron, by virtue of his connection with
the State Road, has some interest
even in the prosperity of Atlanta,
lie is a member of that committee.
While I am speaking of Gen. Young,
I may also mention that, not only
has he gotten this appropriation for
Atlanta, but he has gotten appropria
tions for cleaning out the Oostanaula,
Coosa, and other rivers, and that he
has gotten the political disabilities
removed from more Southern citizens
than any Congressman whatever.
THE PRESIDENT.
On yesterday your correspondent,
with Gen. Young, paid his respects
to President Grant. Your pardon,
but 1 would rather see any man for
ten minutes, than to read the sayings
of ten thousand, or any other large
number, of newspapers'concerning
him. Your readers have heard much
of the stolidity, drunkenness, horse
talk, and bull puppery, of General
Grant. Now it ocmu.«t bo wrong to
tell the truth, and the truth is that
all this that they have been accus
tomed to hear is simply a pack of
lies, equally as objectionable, wheth
er considered in the light of morality,
or of dignity and good taste. In the
first place, Gen. Grant is a thorough
ly well bred gentleman; in the se
cond place, he is a man of good cul
ture and considerable learning; and
in the next place, he is certainly a
man of great will and purpose; final
ly, he is a man of as large a brain as
any man now living in this country,
or that has lived here in a considera
ble while. No fair-minded man can
doubt for an instant that Gen. Grant,
as pronounced by Alexander Ste
phens, a most sagacious and profound
judge of character, “is one of the most
extraordinary men of this age.” It
may not be too much to say that, in
the light of historical truth Gen.
Grant will be a very different person
age froip what our people have been
taught to consider him. By the way,
it is said here now, that he is to be
more popular at the South pretty
soon than some people dream of.—
Gen. Grant said he was in favor of
the great Western canal; that he was
always in favor of internal improve
ments by the general Government;
that before the war he was an old
line whig, though he never had a
chance of voting the ticket but once,
and then he. voted for Buchanan;
that he voted for Buchanan under
protest, and only did it to defeat Fre
mont.
A PAIR OF GLOVES.
In the model room of the Patent
Office, in a case just opposite the
main entrance, hangs a pair of gloves,
with a label attached, on which is
printed the words following, to wit:
“This pair of gloves, made, as ap
pears from the annexed letter, by
Mr. Wm. Baker, of New York
City, for the late President, Abra
ham Lincoln, were only received in
this City after his lamented death,
and are now deposited in the Patent
Office by direction of the Secretary
of the Interior, Asa fit Memento
of the Unsullied Hands for
WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED.”
God forgive me if I am illiberal or
uncharitable, but somehow this thing
looks mightily like a shrewd adver
tisement of that yankee’s glove house.

Just at the conclusion .of a recent
circus performance in a North Caro
lina town, the clown stepped forward
and informed the vast assembly that
they had taken in about S6OO that
day—more money, he ventured to
say, than any minister of the gospel
in that .county would receive for a
year’s service. He then plainly told
them that a large portion of the audi
ence were church members who plead
their poverty when asked for money
to support the gospel, and severely
exposed their inconsistency. A few
Sundays after, he preached in the
same community, and made a strong
appeal for missions, when a collec
tion was taken up amounting to
.$438.

COTTON vs. CORN.
While some of our exchanges en
dorse the suggestion made by us, last
week, in regard to the policy of mak
ing cotton the principal crop for mar
ket, in those portions of Cherokee
Georgia which are inernvenient to
the railroad, others again regard the
advice as being of doubtful propriety,
and insist that there it nothing like
corn. We contend that enough of
even a good thing is enough, and we
think our people ought to make a
plenty, not only of corn, but of every
thing else that will help to make
them independent; and nothing that
they can plant or sow, as experience
has abundantly proven, promotes
that end so successfully as cotton rais
ing. Much of our lands are adapted
to cotton ; and we have observed that
the most prosperous farmers in this
section are those who roll the cotton
bags into market every fall. Suceess
is the proper test in every thing.
The Cartersville Standard advises
farmers in its section to plant only as
much corn as will do for the local de
mands, and “then put in every acre
possible in cotton.” Other papers in
the upper part Georgia give simi
lar advice.
This is no doubt good economy in
a section of country in which corn
sells for only 50 or 60 cents per bush
el, and meat in proportion. But the
people up there would plant more
corn if they were sure of a dollar a
bushel for all surplus, as our planters
are.
The farmers of upper Georgia will
probably act as these papers advise,
and will have little corn to sell. They
have found out that corn is a com
modity that will not bear transporta
tion as cotton will. They will there
fore have little corn to buy or to sell.
We think that this is the true econo-’
my for all parts of the South. Let
every section make its own supply of
corn, and devote most of the balance
of the labor to cotton. But our peo
ple do not yet rai3e corn enough for
this, and therefore the admonition to
them to plant more corn and less cot
ton is as judicious as the advice to
the people of Northern Georgia to
plant less corn and more cotton.—Co

OUR NBWROAD.
We had the pleasure, last week,
of traveling the new road leading due
east from the courthouse and inter

bend of Etowah river opposite Mr.
Mansfield’s. We consider it a deci
ded improvement. It is a mile near
er than the old way to the Etowah
Iron Works, and is « grraat Joai oa£or,
'as it is entirely away from the rail
road. That part of it within the cor
porate limits of the city, is a beautiful
street, and contributes very much to
wards giving our place a city-like
appearance. The scenery all along
the new road is fine, and the farther
up the river you go the grander and
more picturesque it becomes. We
never saw any thing in Itally that
surpassed it!
The Cartersville Express boasts that it has
subscribers in the‘‘moon.” That’s not surpris

true. We suppose, too, that we have
