At the. date i.f out asi ssu , the Con
gre*s of the so-ealhd United States had
enacted another act, in the drama of in
fumy, to strike down the l?.ht vestige of
liberty in Georgia, and organize a Ini’
with all its horrors, in our rapidi’y re
enperatmg Slate, The Congress!'ml
Idackgnard* at the instHnce of n
monster too ba.-e to live, to > vile to die,
clothed themselves in pei jniyand struck
another death blow at the coimtilntion
of the fathers, to enact the infamy and
satiate their malignant halo. And in
confuim'ly with the qirovisi.ins of said
act, Genetal Terry ("the liar";, has been
clothed in ti.e robes of a military dicta
tor; and Bn’lack, ntyling himself "Pro
visional Governor,” bus issued his pro
clamation Convening the Legist iture oti
next Monday, the 10th inst.
Now, the questions arise: What cf-
Icct will this outrageous action of Con
gress exercise upon the statutes of Geo;
gin? What will he the p iitical c m
phxion of the Georgia Legislature* after
its flu rgnii'z ilion? What the prop&r
policy for tie Demc.cialic membe-ra to
pursue? What will be the next move
on the great political chess board?
It is asHCrled by this Wa-liing !"ii
press and Correspondctils, that President
Grant decides that the late act of 0 in
gress makes null and void all past leg is
latiou of the so called illegal Legislature
Ifsttch is tho fact—in other words, if
such interpretation in enforced—confu
sion and anarchy will rule supremo.—
Every act of whatever character; those
making appropriations, for railroad'
(and. Qio State bonds issued in acco -
dar.ce therewith) and for otliet purposes;
tbe“riliid" and homestead” laws; the
"tax laws,” &.C., are mill and void and
all action had thereunder, of course ille
gal; all confirmations by the Senate, of
Judicial and Stale i ffL-iais, are mere
"bosh,” and the entire State government
during the past two years mast he c >u
sidered like a ship at sea without rud
der or compass. In addition to thin out
rage Forney who is evidently the promp
ter hr Giant, has intimated that all
State and comity officials, elected or ap
pointed, who cannot subscribe toG.il! er
"f (he recently prescribed oaths, must
'Hicrumh to radical pressure, and make
way (br loyalty Os course tho outrage
act nf Congress, of itself makes no such
requirements ns (ho foregoing, but a rad
teal Congress vvi l ! have no hcbitency in
j approving any construction a radical
; President may place upon its enact
ments.
This is the situation our Legislators
will be required to meet. If, after the
purging, the Democrats find themselves
in the majority, it will be their duty to
fight, and, if possible, defeat the objects
designed by the false construction plac
ed upon the act of Congress. If in the
minority however, the people expect and
demand that they svid rise to the digni
ty of statesmen, and instead of murder
ing time by buncombe speeches, in con
cise, respectful, but bold terms, worthy
of men and patriots protest against- tin
great outrage perp ilrated on a law a
biding prop! e. They may find them
selves impotent to ward ( fi' the great
wrong, hi t it is n. duly (Icy owe the
State, to he at their posts, and while the
proud old commonwealth is in the throes
of dissolution, with stern dignity and L’n
man courage call on Heaven to witness
their protest against the assassination
of constitutional liberty.

In** l n levied on by (tie Sheriff and li'l vert I.'.id for
•ale, on the drat Tuesday in January, and thu.
h in ■ about to pars fiom under the control of
(lie Trustees, it is perhaps proper that I, an ‘
Chairman ot the Hoard, should give some ac
count of its management, lor the iuforination'‘ot
Stockholders and others, that may lie interested.
The fact too, that certain comments have appear
ed in your paper, reflecting upon the conduct
nt the Trustees makes it the more reasonable
: hat the history of the institute should be made
pi.tilic. In iHliti, when the building approached
completion the stockholders held a meeting and
eli" ted the following trustees; 11. C. McNeil,
Wm. Hudson,John Perdue,James Hilliard. 11.
budget, \V. It. Bonnet, Samuel Moore, rGmuel
Graves < Neil Mediae, J. O. Morton, ,J. 11.
Hunter, and M. J. Culpepper; and tho
Academy wns turned over tn them. At that
time there was still due the contractors (or the
building n debt of about $.700,00 which was se
cui”d by a builders lefn. according to the laws
of the State. Pubsequenfiy, this claim was sued
into j .dgmont, and it is on account of what re
mains unpaid of this judgment, that the Sheriff
has levied upon the Academy. There was some
effort ma le by the Stockholders to piy this !
debt by a proposition that curb tho id add a
certain per cent, to tlm Stock already aubsori- j
bed, but several ot the’stockboldern refused to
do thin and so no funds wore realized to liquid- \
a! • the builders claim. The trustees too were I
dir iiled into different classes each holding acer-
Uin length ot time, or until their jmccessors were j
elected. My time, as well as that of two oiler i
trustees, expired at the eml of the lirst year, and |
e mu 1 ■ everul ( Torts to get a meeting of tho j
stockholder to elect our successors but so few j
could be got together, that they dcelim and taking i
any action in the matter; so that Hie same hoard j
continued, except that Mr Mediae declined to j
.-erv" and the iiev. J. 11. Alexau’h i was appoin
ted in his place. At the Gist meeting of the
Trustees I was chosen chairman of the Board,-
and W. 11. Bonnet Secretary. Mr. Bonnet de
ll; tied acting, arid J. 11. Alexander wa.- appoin
ted in his place.
When we first took charge of the Academy,
Mr. (), W. , u-vens and Mr. T. A. Evans were oil
gage.t in teaching in our village. Mr. 0. 1..
.Smith was al that tuna a citizen of EchoT coun
ty but Hume of hid friends proposed Tout h- shoud
have an inteiest in the school and so the Tri/stae*
elected ttß teachers for IfetiT, llev. O. 1-. Smith,
O. \V. Stevens, and T. A. Evans. They were
elected ms equals and were to man lire the school
jointly or decide amongst themselves who should
lie principal. They were charged ho rent for
the Academy building.
Towards the close of that year, Mr. Eva; s re
moved to Albany, and Ilev. O. H. ,- ndtli express
ed his determination to go to the upper part of
t]j<’ Tnte, which lie did, The Tm dees then c!ec
ted to, teachers for the year 18GS, Mr. O. \V. Me
ven.i and Miss Hattie Stevens, and fixed the rent
of the Academy at two hundred and fifty dollars,
which was by subsequent agreement, reduced to
two hundred dollars, and the money collected
and applied to the payment, that tar, of the
judgment against the Academy.
Towards the close of tile year ISOd Mr. O. i..
Smith's friends thought ho would like to return
to Quitman, and expressed a desire that he
should again have a position in the Academy
Tim Trustees soon after met and Rev.O. E. Smith
and O. V.h N'tevens were elected principals in
the l-ichool,.for tho year ISG9, and tho rent of the
building fixed at 3.30,00.
In December HOD, a meeting of the Trustees
was called for tho purpose of electing touchers
for tho next year. Ouly seven met (tho con
stitution required twoj thirds, 8, to elect teach
ers). It was proposed however that we contin
ue the same teachers, to wit: O. L. Smith and
O. V/. Stevens for the year 187«, on the same
terms. A friend of Mr. Smith notified us that
he would not accept tho same position. Mr. S.
E. Moore then moved that w e elect, Rev. O. E-
Smith principal of the Academy, with leave to
employ such assistants ns he might see lit, and
charge him 8150,0il rent for the house. It. wu ,
suggested that tho Constitution required die
Trustees to select the teachers, and they ought
to have a voice as to who should be the a -3<-
tanl:’, as well as the principal. The motion was
however, put and lost. It was thenpuoved that
we ask 8-50,(10 rent for the Academy for next
year which was carried. Mr. McNeil then pro
posed that we sell the Academy which was ruled
out of order, us we were not chosen for that pur
pose and Imd no power to convey the title. The
meeting then adjourned to meet the next Satur
day thereafter.
At that mooting a largo number of Tru- tcos
i were in attendance and some discussion had on
j the pro- poets of the Academy and the difficul
ties of conducting it successfully ou the present
I plan; several of the trustees expressing the opiu
ion that indivdual enterprise would be more
likely to build up a flourishing school. Mr. Mc-
Neil again proposed that we sell the Academy
for school purposes. Mr. Bonnet objected on
the ground that wc had no right to sell, and
could not convey by proper titles but suggested
that if the trustees thought best that it should be
sold we could notify the owner of tho judgment
against tho academy that we would make r.o ar
rangement to pay his debt, and he could instruct
the* Sheriff to make his money by levy and sale
of the building without limitation. A resolution
embodying this idea was then passed, with but
one dissenting vote (Capt. S. L, Moore).
This, Mr. Editor, Is, I believe, a correct, but
brief history of the Quitman Academy h aving
out any reference to the Music Teachers. Messrs
Smith and Stevens I have over regarded as hon
orable, Christian, gentlemen, well qualified IV- 1 ■
the K*hi“»l ; un. So l.tr a- I know, every tr•
tec agrees with me in mv high appreciation of j
them. S me of them may have cxpiessed the
opinion that a little more energy and strictness |
in the discipline of the school, would hart* lm- !
proved it; but 1 have never heard any trustee ’
question either the mental capacity or Christian \
character, of either, of the teachers. J regret
| tlmt the Avademi hits not met the high expecta

| ohil.liea have been as well tonght there (and
