Governor Smith, with that appre ciation of Georgia’s solid interests that has marked ids whole adminis tration, has, as we have heretofore stated, called a convention of Govern ors and leading citizens of the South ern and Western States to meet in Atlanta on the 20th day of May to consider and forward that great terprise, the Atlantic and Great Wes tern Canal. The following is the letter of invi tation addressed by Governor Smith to these gentlemen: Executive Department, ) State of Georgia, > Atlanta, Ga., Mch. 31, 1873.] Sir—l had the honor in November last of calling the attention of the Governors of many of the States to the importance of the Atlantic and Gnat Western Canal. By this work it is proposed to connect the iennes soe river, and through that river the entire system of inland navigation ot the West with the Atlantic ocean at Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia. 1 then mviutl the Governors or ma ny of the Western States to meet at Atlanta for the purpose of consider ing and discussing the steps to be ta ken for the accomplishment of this grand enterprise. Owing to unfore seen circumstances, however, that meeting was unavoidably postponed. Since then, the interest felt in Con gress and among the people generally in increasing tJit* means of cheap and easy communication by water, be tween the great producing and con suming sections of the country has deepened and widened. In my judgment the tiaehascome for a meeting, such as the one men tioned, in order that the advantages of the proposed enterprise may he more thoroughly discussed and un derstood, and some definite plau ol ac tion for its accomplishment matured. .My object in addressing you this com munication is to earnestly and cordi ally invite you to unite in a con vention ofthe Governors of the South ern, Western and Northwestern States, to be held for the purpose mentioned at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 20th day of May next. As the proposed canal will run in most of its length through this state, it would seem proper for me, As the Executive thereof, to take the initia tive in tins matter. The advantage to result from the enterprise under consideration are so obvious, that a mere reference to them here is deem ed all that is necessary. It is, in fact, the only line of water communica tion between the Atlantic seaboard and the West, can be constructed at reasonable cost, and which would be unobstructed at all seasons ofthe year. The best means for securing cheap transportation to meet the rapidly developing resources of the country, is the question which should engage the thoughtful attention of states men. It is moreover my earnest desire that citizens of other States, occupy ing official positions, should visit our State, examine for themselves the fa cilities that can be afforded for this great avenue of trade, and at the same time, enjoy the hospitalities of our people. Such a visit would, in my opinion, conduce in no small de gree to a complete restoration of har mony and good feeling between all sections of our common country. If it should not suit your conveni ience to be present, in person, at the convention mentioned, may I ask that your Excellency will do us the honor to send such a delegation there to as will represent your own wishes and in the interests ol your State. I enclose herewith a copy ot the re port submitted to Congress by the Committee on Commerce, to which 1 respectfully invite yoar earnest at tention. , Hoping to receive an early and fa vorably response to this communica tion, I am, Your Excellency’s Obedient servant, James M. Smith, Governor of Georgia, We have already published the re port of the Congressional Committee refered to. Governor Smith’s letter is admir able in style, matter, and tone. It is addressed to Governors C. C. W ash burn, of Wisconsin ; Robert W. Fur nas, of Nebraska ; Cyrus C. Carpen ter, of lowa, Richard J. Oglesby, ol Illinois; Elisha Baxter, of Arkansas; Horace Austin, of Minnesota ; John I. Bay ley, of Michigan ; Silas \\ oodson, of Missouri; Preston W. Leslie, ol Kentucky; Todd It. Caldwell, of North Carolina; John J. Jacobs, ol West Virginia ; E. F. Noyes, ot Ohio; Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana; L. R. Bradley, of Nevada: Bay id P- Eewis, of Alabama ; John C.

In addition to those invitations, were also sent to the Mayors of Padu cah, Covington, Stevensport, Hen derson, Frankfort, Maysville, and Louisville, Kentucky, Memphis.

We presume, of course, that the Mayors of Macon, Columbus, Augus ta, Rome, Miiedgeville, Athens, Sa vannah’ Brunswick and other Geor gia cities will be invited. It will be the most important and impressive occasion of the day. It . will give a grand impetus to the en terprise. ■ We shall have more to sav of the ~ occasion hereafter.— Atlanta' Comtitu turn. Dalton and vicinity suffered sever ly from the late storm. Much dam age was done to property, and many people were seriously injured, among them Mrs. Dye, Mrs. Harlan and Mihd IkUidou. COAL. The Chattanooga Times advises that the entire press of Georgia should u nite in a demand on the railroads of the South to contribute each its pro rata share of coal ears to the coal trade. It says ttyat the coal tnen say, that if five thousand coal cars were put into the trade by the Georgia roads, that coal can he furnished at every depot in Georgia for less than two-thirds of the present price. Some estimate it at so low as one-half of the present price. This is an important announce ment, and if possible should, by all means, be accomplished, and be done now. Every man who uses coal, and a large proportion of the people in the vicinity of our railroads do so, is interested in the recommendation, and the sooner it is done the better. The railroads themselves, by the in creased quantity of coal carried to all parts of the country, would largely increase their revenues, and the oner ous tax laid upon our people for fuel would be immensely decreased. It would perhaps interfere with monop olies in this important and indispen sable necessity of life, hut then all classes, and especially the poor, and men of moderate means, would re. ceive an inestimable benefit. It is to be hoped that railroad authorities will give instant attention to this subject, and that before the next winter we may see tlie suggestion carried into full execution. Cannot Gov. Brown and Hon. John P. King, with the Macon and Central Railroad authori ties, use their great influence in this direction. A POLITICAL REMINISCENCE. The late action of Congress in rela tion to increase of salaries and back pay, has excited not only universal remark, hut equal condemnation from all quarters. Under the pressure of public indignation, or the demands of their own consciences, some of the members have refused to receive the doubtful money, others receive it and purchase United States. Bonds with it, and then cancel them, thus paying it over to the United States’ Treasury— the Vice President himself, the lion. Henry Wilson, utterly refusing to accept it. We publish below a polit ical reminiscence, taken from the columns of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist, upon the perusal of which our readers will discover bow a sim ilar act was received by the people in 1816, and the effect which it had up on the political fortunes of the then members of Congress. It is as fol lows : The members of Congress have been lately helping themselves to in creased and hack pay. and those who, though opposing that inquitous meas ure, have put the money thus taken from the treasury into their pockets, may be consoled to have their mem ories of public events refreshed by a republican journal, one of their own kidney, showing that their act is not without a precedent. Thus the New York Evening Post revives the re miniscence that, in the year 1816, Congress passed a bill called the Com pensation bill, which was very like the one that was lately passed. It provided for paying each member some fifteen hundred dollars a year, subject to deductions for absence, ex cept in case of sickness; and it gave double pay to the Speaker and the President of the Senate, if there should be no Vice President. It pass ed the House with the affirmative vote of 41 democrats and 40 federal ists against the negative vote of 42 democrats and 15 federalists. It pass ed the Senate—2l democrats and 12 federalists voting aye, and 8 demo crats and 3 federalists voting no. But this fact will not be so consola tory, when our members hear of the manner in which the act was receiv ed by the people. Let us say, in a word, that it produced a tremend ous excitement. The legislatures of several Stases passed resolutions con demning it; popular meetings were field to denounce it; and even grand juries indicted it as a nuisance, or rather as an offence contra bo nos mo res. Niles’Register of August 17th, 1816, said that “none of the old mem bers will be elected from Dehvare; the ‘Compensation law’is doing won ders. It is believed that the whole representation from Connecticut and Vermont will tie changed.” The same feeling pervaded the other States, and, indeed, the public disap probation was so great that the same Congress at its next session, in Janu ary, 1817, repealed the act, after much discussion, but human weakness so far prevailed that the members caus ed the repeal to take effect after the session should expire, thus taking themselves the extra compensation given by the act. Before this act die per diem had been six dollars; after the repeal it was fixed at eight dol lars. The retroactive operation of the act, whereby the members who voted for it enlarged their own com pensation, was objected to in debate; but it was nevertheless carried. The act which created such indig nation only took $200,000 from the treasury ; tHe late act takes a million and a half. John C. Calhoun, who voted for it, found, on his return to nis constituents, the tide of popular favor turning against him for the first time. Even Henry Clay, popu lar as lie was, with great difficulty secured his re-election. It was dur ing this struggle that the incidents of the oft-repeated anecdote occur red : “During the canvass Mr. Clay met an old hunter who had previously been his devoted friend, but was now opposed to him on the ground of the Compensation I>i il. ‘Have you a good rifle, my friend?’ asked Mr. day. ‘Yes.’ ‘Does it ever flash?’ ’Once only,’ ‘What did you do with it- throw it* away ?’ ‘No ; I picked the flint, tried it again, and brought down the game.’ ‘Have I ever flash ed but on tiie compensation bill?’ •No ‘Will you throw me away ?' ‘No! no! quickly responded * the hunter, nearly overwhelmed by his enthusiastic feelings; ‘I will pick the flint and try you again.” John Pope, well-known in the pol itics of Kentucky, offered himself as a candidate against Mr. Clay. He was a one-armed man, which gives point to the following bit of Irish wit: “An Irish barber residing at Lex ington had always given Mr. Clay his vote, and on all occasions when he was a candidate for office, elec tioneered warmly for him. llis ar dent temperament and unrestrained passions frequently involved him in scrapes and difficulties, out of which Mr. Clay had generally succeeded in extricating him. While the canvass was going on, after the Compensa tion bill, the barber did not evince his usual zeal and animation ; on the contrary seemed to be indifferent as to the result of the election. To ail inquiries for whom he designed to vote heanswered evasively. lie was addressed a few days previous to the election, by a gentleman for whom he entertained the most profound re gard, with the question. ‘For whom, Jerry, do you mean to vote?’ Re garding his interrogator w r ith an earn est, shrewd look, he replied, ‘Faix an’shure, docthur, I mean to vote for the man who can’t put more nor one hand into the treasury.' ” The Irishman’s logic was as good as his wit. The results of the proceeding are most fully described in the following extract from a letter of Thomas Jrf ferson to Albert Gallatin, dated June 16,1817. He says: •‘According to the opinion I haz arded to you a little before your de parture, we have had almost an entire change in the body of Congress. The unpopularity of the Compensation law was completed by the manner of repealing it, as to ail the world ex cept themselves. In some States, it is said, every member is changed, in all, many. What opposition there was to the original Jaw was chiefly from Southern members. Yet many of these have been left out because they received the advanced wages.— I have never known so unanimous a sentiment of disapprobation, and what is remarkable is that it was spontaneous. The newspapers were almost entirely silent, and the people not only unruled by their leaders, but in opposition to them. 1 confess I was highly pleased with this proof of the innate good sense, the vigil ance, and the determination of the people to act for themselves.” Atlanta Herald; “On the first of November last Mr. Crawford Nally, an old aud h ighly esteemed citzen of Paulding county, Georgia, together with his family, consisting in all of twenty-one persons, left their quiet, comfortable and healthy home for Arkansas. While on the route, some of the family were taken sick with the small-pox caught on board a steamer on the Mississipyi river, and on the 25th of December thirteen of the family had died from the fatal dis ease. A few days ago information was received to tHe effect that the re maining eight members had also died from the same disease, which leaves not a single one to tell the tale of the great affliction which befell them.” LEGISLATURE OF ARKANSAS. Little Rock, Ark., March 26. The House to-day passed a joint res olution proposing an amendment to the constitution, reducing the num ber of Supreme Judges to three. In the Senate an amendment to tlie con stitution was proposed, giving minor ity representation. A bill passed the House authorizing the Governor to till alt vacancies by appointment. In the House quite a little scene occur red on the heels of adjournment: Furbish (colored) called up a bill to create Coolidge county. The chair stated that it needed"en grossing. Mr. Furbish—Then, with the con sent of the House, I will withdraw the G—d d—d bill. Mr. Milieu—l move that the lan guage be taken down, and the mem ber expelled. Mr Furbish—l wish the whole G—d d—d Legislature— The chair—Mr. Furbish will come to the bar of the House. Mr. Furbish—l will be glad to be expelled, and never want my name used in connection with the G—d d—d Legislature again. The Representative walked for ward to the bar of the House, when a motion was made and carried to adjourn. GEORGIA RELIEF AND HOME STEAD LAWS AS RETROAC TIVE MEASURES DECLAR ED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. The Washington papers inform us that on Monday last the Supreme Court of the United States pronounc ed its decision in the case of James B. Walker vs. William H. Whitehead. This case arose in Baker county, Georgia, and being founded on a debt contracted prior to June 1, 1865, was dismissed by the Superior Court for want of the affidavit of taxes requir ed by the relief act of 1870. The Su perior Court of Georgia affirmed this action of the Superior Court, and held that provision of the relief act to be constitutional. From the Supreme Court of Georgia, the case was carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, and this Court, J usticeSwayne delivering the opinion, reverses the judgement of the Supreme Court of Georgia. The grounds of the opinion are not stated, but the Court must have held that portion of the Relief Act to be unconstitutional and void. On the same day theCourtalso re versed the Supreme Court of Georgia in the case of Gunn vs. Barry. We are informed that this case involved the constitutionality of the Home stead Law of Georgia as applied to debts contracted before the Constitu tion of 186S was adopted. The Su preme Court ot Georgia held the law to be constitutional. The Supreme I Court of the United States holds tlie J contrary. —Atlanta Constitution. The Cartersville Standard and Ex press is in favor of a cotton factory for that place, and this makes it cer tain that the factory will be built. Whenever that paper gels straight after anything it is bound to come, in the first place ihe assistant local editor writes a paragraph about it then the junior assistant local editor takes the subject in band, and then the local editor proper takes hold. Whereupon Brewster goes to work and writes a few columns, then the genial and subdued Smith, and sev eral of the other prominent editor tackle the matter at stated periods. In this way revival is gotten up and tlie project is carried through.— Sa vannah News. A NOBLE TRIO. “flow the brave Who sink t<* rest. With all their con .ivy's wishes blest." Tiie little town of Lexington, Vir ginia, is indeed highly honored in being the resting place of three mod ern immortals, whose names the south will not willingly let die. There sleep in that town three great men of the South —General Stonewall Jackson, General R. E. Lee and Commodore M. F. Maury. In their mental char acteristics they were very dissimilar, each from the other two*; but in this they resembled each other, that they were great, good, patriotic and pious men—an honor to their birth place, their section and their age. The Savannah Republican makes this enquiry: “Is the Devil dead?” We refer them to “J. N.” who will ‘ lift the veil” and see. CiKTEiwviLLE, February 20th, 1873. WE, THE I’NDEKSIGXED, have had Mil.
