.Atlantic and Gulf Railroad -We have a
letter from Oupt. Ja*. H. Hunter, our efficient
Representative, informing us that the project to
extend this railroad westward, ami by means of
State aid, receives favorable consideration in the
General Assembly. It is a pet scheme with the
Captain**--be having introduced the bill for the
purpose --and consequently will vigorously press
tbe matter to a successful termination. It Isa
matter of vital importance to Savannah ami
Southern Georgia.

The Carpet-Baggers’ Debt.
It Is a notorious fact, that in Gen. Grant, the
penniless adventurers, blood hounds and leech
es, who have Infested the South, ever since the
war, hare found a true and persistent friend.
The Southern gentleman, in his majesty’s esti
matioo,has been unworthy of confidence, and
therefore has he sent among us an army of un
principled knaves and thieves, who have not
only oppressed and purloined us of our individ
ual substance, but almost bankrupted the State
governments. As evidence of this latter asser
tion read the following facts :
North Carolina .- In 1861 the debt of *hls .State
was about $12,000,000; In 1871 it was about
$35,060,000.
South Carolina.— In 1861, the debt of the Slate
was $4,500,000; in .1871 it is $31,000,000.
Florida —ln 1861 this State had a debt of on
ly $371,000; now It has reached the enormous
sum of $15,797,000.
Georgia. - Our State debt in 1861 was $2,970,*
750. At present it is difficult to estimate. The
known liabilities are about $20,000,000.
Alabama^- Debt In 1861 about $8,000,000; in
1871 her liabilities amount to about $53,000,000.
Mississippi. - -We have no estimate of its debt,
but ft is enormous. In 1860 the cost of the State
government watt $350,000; in 1870 it was over
$2,000,000.
Texas. —ln 1861 the debt was $2,000,000; now
it is $15,000,000.
Arkansas. —Debt in 1860 was $,784,000; now
her liabilities are $19,000,000.
Thus It will he seen that In nine Southern
States, the aggregate public debt, Ims been in
creased in ten years, from about thirty millions
of dollars to upwards ol Itro hundred millions.
And this deplorable condition of affairs bus
been brought about directly by Gen. Grant, who
has persisted in placing at the head of our local
governments, the hose horn and unprincipled
adventurers of the North, who sang hosannas to
his name, whilst they villified and robbed the
victims of their master’s hatred.
This is the result of the carpet-bag policy so
persistently carried out by IT.l T . S. Grant. Is ii
not sufficient, of itself, to influence Southern
men to temporarily discard partisan feeling and
prejudice, and unite as one man, in a determin
ed effort to drive from power the ignorant and
debased official, who has disregarded every
principle of honor, and fraternized with thieves,
blackguards and perjured scoundrels.
The interested apologists of the Grant admin
iMratton, however, toll the people that the bulk
of these State debts was contracted in prosecu
ting the war inaugurated by the secession ele
ment of the South. This is false, and Horace
Greeley’s organ, the N. Y. Tribune, utters the j
simple truth, when it unequivocally declares |
that this whole range of mountains of debt is no J
“War Debt.” That perished with the cause for
which the war was waged. This debt is the hid
tows offspring of Anarchy masquerading in the
stolen lobes of Peace; it is the monstrous has
tard begotten by carpet-baggers upon a ravished
body politic. What a spectacle of scoundrels
in all the places of trust and emolument!—of
whole festoons of leeches swelling with the pub
lie life-blood, until satiated they drop oft and
sink Into their original obscurity!—of deprecia
tion of those val tas, w hich among an agricultur
al people, afford the best indications of prosper
ity or of pauperism! Never was a more system
atlc greed gratified by semi-legalized felonies!
We inns* go hack to the provincial governments
in the days of Roman d«cadence to find a paral
lei. and even if we do so, the military mercena
ries of the Empire seem moderate in comparison.
And then look at the consistency of this Grant
government. Asa Northern writer expresses
it, the Radicals demand that the people of the
Southern States shall be loyal, and such loyalty
is made the condition of their .admission to nil
the rights and immunities of .American citizens.
They then proceed to harraas, worry and irritate i
ns- -they steal the little wealth that is left us - j
they muke our States merely foraging fields for
an army of thieves, who contract gigantic debts !
without our consent—they ruin values, diruiq- I
ish incomes, and quadruple taxations —and then i
Grant and his mercenary, howling pack of I
hounds, express astonishment that our people
should be restless, impatient and indignant. In i
one hand they carry the flap of the Unkin, but
we caLuot respect or greet it with enthusiasm, j
io’vrg as other is in .our js'ctors— r-*fw-ttSi
j landing they vociferously shout, “Let us have
Ui der this state of affairs, the duty of every
man is plain : The thieves must be driven from
power; and to accomplish this, as previously
-fated, party feeling and prejudice must yield
to necessity. Horace Greeley is the roproseu
j tative of Reform; on that particular issue he has
} been accepted by the people, lie is opposed to
carpct-bag supremacy—bo has confidence in the
honor, judgment and wisdom of Southern gen
tlemen-—he is bitter in his denunciation of the
thieves who have grow n rich on the substance
of the people of the South; and fur these reasons
alone every honest man can rally to the stan
dard of Geeu.ky and Brown.
Tlie Hfafe Itoad Lease.
We have purposely refrained from referring to
the report of the Committee that investigated
the action pi the Executive attending the lease,
to ex-Gov. Drown and others, of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, simply on the ground that
we attributed to the General Assembly sufficient
wisdom, discretion and honesty of purpose, as
to beiievo they would act justly between the
State and the lessees. As will be remembered,
the majority of the Committee, reccommemhd
that the lease be annuled. The whole question
was thoroughly and ably discussed, last week, !
in the Senate, and we are happy to announce ,
that said body repudiated the majority report,!
and by a vote of 31 yous to 9 nays, declared that ;
the lease was fair and proper. This settles the 1
matter, we trust, for the next twenty years, and j
we fiyl sanguine it meets the approval of a vast ■
majority of the people interested. The lease j
was a Democratic measure, carried into effect j
by a Radical Legislature, and now a Democrat- j
ic Legislature ratifies the transaction. Resides j
u monthly rental of twenty-five thousand dollars, j
it takes the road out of State politics, where It 1
has been the fruitful parent of fraud, corruption ;
and veualty, damaging to the dignify of the j
Commonwealth. We think the trad* a good one. I
and the Senate has manifested sound judgment
in ratifying the transaction.
A Duel on the Tapis.
The atmosphere of Atlanta evidently has a
tendency to cause the angry passions of men to
rise anil they give vent thereto in hitter, biting
words. A few days ngo “everybody, and bis
family” expected that Drown and roomba would
retire to a secluded retreat and take “pistols
and coffee” “in ther’n;” and now “Old Tige”
Anderson and Representative Goode are as
piling for pugilistic honors or under the Code
“that satis faction duo from one gentleman to
another.”
A week or ten days ago a member of the
House was arrested by the police of'Atlanta,
under a charge of being drunk and disorderly.
'I Ids incensed the House, and alter a whole
day's disenssiofi, iu7regard to the outrage, tin*
offending policemen were brought before the
bar ol the House and reprimanded. During tin
discussion Mr. Goode used harsh language in
reference to the police of'Atlanta, which influ
enced the following raid Irom General Ander
son, which was published in the Constitution:
Atlanta. Ga., August 10, 1b72.
MiUors Constitution : I ask tor a small space
in your columns to reply to some of the unwar
ranted and malignant attacks made on the po
lice by the lion. O. T. Goode in the House of
Representatives yesterday.
“He does not know and docs not care for the
Atlanta Police.”
\\ ell I presume we can survive the gentle
man’s indifference.
“ I lie Atlanta police are black spots upon her
blight escutcheon.”
Wonderful. Yet I boldly assert that, let them
be black ns they may. every one of them can !
Aiow as bright a rocord fi r honesty, sobriety in
teyrity and morality as the honorable gentle
man. \\ lien he Charges that ti e Atlanta police
are a set of “ruffians. \vh6 desecrate and disgrace
the grey they wear, 1 hurl the foul imputation
back to the villifler. These men did not dese
crate the urey when they received the honora
ble scars they are proud to wear--when lan-j
guishing in Northern hastilesor in bloody
battle, where they purchased their armless I
sleeves us the price of their devotion to South- j
ern rights and Southern liberty: nor did l cm
know one of them to get out of the service save bu
means of honorable wounds received while wearing ■
the grey und in honorable, discharge of duty. j
G. T. Anderson, Chief ot Police. J
Ijj response to this card, on the morning of the
1-1”. Mr. Goode rose in his place in the House,
to a question of privilege, “lie said that his at
tent ion luid been called to a scturilous article
which had appeared iu Sunday’s Constitution,
over the signature of Geo. T. Anderson. Chief
ot Police, it the paper had a circulation no
wider than this dirty creature's acquaintance,
his low character and well known mendacity
would make it unnecessary so reply to it. it
Anderson ever had any claim to he considered a
gentleman ho had forfeited it by his course in
this matter. Anderson, if insulted, should have
sought satisfaction, and not have published a
card hurling back foul epithets. This is the
cheap subterfuge of a coward. Anderson had
long since placed himself beyond the pale of
gentlemen. He had been informed that while
an officer of the United States army he lmd
grossly insulted gentlemen, and when challeng
ed, the dastardly ruffian had refused to fight,
and wgs tahoed and ostracised by his comrades
lor his paltroonery. Like a whipped spaniel he
continues to snarl at'gentlemen. Encased in a
I panoply of infamy, he is *afe, and I dismiss him
from notice. Ho took occasion to say that he
lmd heard that the police were clover men, who
tried to do what was right. He took pleasure
in doing them justice by attributing whatever
wrong they did to the misfortune of being com
manded by an ignorant, brutal bully. A num
ber of gentlemen were anxious to have Ander
son arrested for breach of privilege. He begged
them as a personal favor, not to do so, as he
never expected to claim the privileges .of the
House as a protection against either the as
saults of gentlemen or the sneaking bite of a
cowardly cur.”
The Ku Ku x PmsoMNU.— I The Grant Radicals
are becoming uneasy, in regard to the effect the
torture of the Ku Klux prisoners, in the X. Y.
penitentiary, will have on the Presidential elec
tion. A dispatch from Washington, on the 10th,
says “that since the letter of Gerritt Smith, in
terceding for the imprisoned Ku Klux at Albany,
similar recommendations have been received
Irom influential Republicans. The report ot
Colonel Whiteley, Chief ot the Secret Service,
who has been directed by the President to in
vestigate jas to the several cases, will be the
basis of the President’s action, who has already
intimated a willingness to comply with the sug
gestious made.
Butler, the Beast, thank God, will not be a
supporter of HAraoe Greeley. Ho wavered in
allegiance to Grant for a few days, but finally
resolved to remain in the den of thieves. If he

Converted. —We are happy to state that a
mrmgFt the Democrats who lmvo been under
deep conviction ever since the meeting of the
Baltimore Convention, there have been two hap
py conveisions to the people’s cause, of those
who were “straight-outs” of the strictest‘sort,
viz: Elides, of the Quitman Banner, and Thomp
son, of the Savannah News. These conversions
were quite unexpected, except to those who !
could exercise a large amount of faith and who j
knew the power of truth on sensible minds. |
Hides, although only a few days ngo he was to
all appearance a confirmed infidel, has had the
great deep of his heart broken up, and having j
sought pardon has found pence; and now, like a j
good Democrat, occupies his place in the “Amen j
corner” of the Democratic church, and has gone I
earnestly to work in the vineyard. Thompson's i
com-ersfotl don’t seem to be so bright lie ha- ;
evidently left some duty undischarged, is vo ■
gardlng “iniquity in his heart,” or is depending '
too much on his own rightiffinsness, and conse
quently has not been enabled to come to his:
work with that zeal that is common to new con j
verts. We suggest tlmt he raise the names oi l
Greeley and Drown at the head of his columns, j
and he will then be enabled to realize the “nn- j
swer of a good conscience.” and go into the j
work before him feeling more at home.
To others we say, stilt there is room. There j
are still some “persecuting Nanis” hi tho land '

concerned, turns out to be gasconade, for the
