FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1873-
The Atlantic & Gulf Hallroatl I'**
tetiNion*
An yet no action lia« bren taken by trie
on tbo bill Intfodnoed in tl*c
House l.y Ciipt. Hunter, (frit tiling Slate
aid to the Atlantic and Gul! Railroad
Company, to enalilc it to successfully
carry out tho original intent ion of the
Company; and it will bo seen by the let
ter of our Atlanta correspondent, that
the meaauro meat* with great opposi
tion.
In our opinion, tlie appropriation con
templated is decidedly tl.o most ffnpor
tant measure before the General Assem
bly: for tho object in view is not only to
reimburse the State for the one million
of dollars already invested in tho road,
but to advance the material prosperity
of tbo Southern portion of the Stale, and
to deVelope its vast, varied and valuable
resources.
Ity some thh strange idea is advanced,
that tbo moasuro is objectionable, be
cause Kfctiona! —that Middle and North
Georgia will reap no advantages from
the appropriation asked for. This posi
tion is certainly untenable, Tho sec
tions Os the Stale designated undoubted
ly bate an interest in the one million of
dollars already invested, and which will
become worthless without I fro additional
appropriation specified in the bill now
before the Assembly; and again, if by
means of the extension of the roftd to the
Gulf of Mexico, the Southern portion <>!
tbo State is filled lip by enterprising im
migrants from other Stales and l< reign
lands, her millions of uncultivated acres
brought under Cultivation, and prosperi
ty planted where poverty now r igns
supreme, will not the Slate at laige lie
benefited, in the way of increased revenue
from this infused prosperity? Wo can
view it in no other light. Every enter
prise (bat tends to advance the prosperi
ty of otic section of tbo IMate, redounds
to tins interest, prosperity, wealth and
happiness of tho entire Common
wealth. A selfish, sectional policy, never
ctcntuntcd in good. Sonfl.ern Georgia
is not jealous of the prosperity existing
in other pmtions of the State; she made
no pretest against the advantages which
North Georgia derived by the construc
tion of the Atlantic and Western Rail
road ly tho State. She is proud ol said
ChterpriSc, and feels that it is a mutual
benefit, because it yields a revenue to
the Treasury ot the State. The exten
sion 61 the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad to
I’ollard and Mobile, will also yield a
revenue to swell the coffers ol the State;
and therefore our friends in every sec
tion should champion, rather than Con
demn, thh appropriation Contemplated in
the bill introduced by the Representa
tive from Brooks county.
Tho bill which passed the Legislature
at its last session, failed to become a
law because the Governor declined lo
approve the same, on tlm ground that
the bill was in conflict with tho ComMK
tntion. Tho present bill obviates this
serious objection, and wo aro assured
til (ft not only Governor Smith, but n
number of the loading legal minds of the
Slate, have given it as their opinion, that
tho bill now net.ding is not in conflict
with the Constitution. The State is not
asked to make an appropriation for the
construction of a Railroad in Alabama,
but to enable the existing Company to
carry Out tho original intention of the
incorporators—a great h'ghtfay of trav
el between tho Gulf of Mexico and the
Atlantic coasts.
This section of the State looks forward
(o the passage of the 101 l by tho Legis
lature with great anxiety. If it should
fail, a severe blow will be administered to
our material prosperity, and the interest
which the State ol Georgia luis in the
Atlantic «ud Gulf Railroad, w ill be ut
teily destroyed.
Increased Taxation.
A bill is now peuding in the Georgia
legislature, Which, if it should become a
law, will necessitate a considerable in
crease In the amount of lev,line to be
raised by taxation. This is not agreea
ble news for those who already Com
plain of late years’exactions; but they
must remember that Georgia, their kind
old m> lhor, has become deeply involved
in debt; and ns respectlnl, dutiful chil
dren. who have the interest and honor of
the State at heart, they must uncom
plainii g Submit to still greater hard
ships, and yield up their substance
cheerfully, for tire public good.
The bill referred to, authorizes the is
sue of twelve hundred thousand dollars
in bonds, to bear eight per cent, inter
est, and the principal parable in annual
installments, one bundled thousand did
dollars each succeeding year, until tilt
whole is absorbed—the fiisl SIOO 000 !
payable on the first day of April, ISIS
To meet the bonds at maturity, the Gov
ernor is authorized to “mcre.-se the per
centage on she taxes to be collected in
the year IST I, arid in r very succeeding
year, until the whole il the bonds issued]
der this act shall be paid, so that the
taxes to bo collected in these (twelve)
yours shall exceed the amount otherwise
authorized to tie collected, by the sum of
$100,000.” The <>bj ct fur the issuing of
these new bonds, is to pay’ all past due
bonds and interest, and to exchange for
other bonds falling due within the next
three years.
Tire Tax Laws.
A bill lias passed tho Senate amend
ing tho Tax Laws of Georgia, and will,
doubtless, become a law. It provides
that tho Judge of the Superior Court
shall tic empowered to appoint a revisory
board of three reliable citizens, in eacli
county’, whose duty it shall be to revise
and amend the assessment of property
as received by the Tax Receiver—having
the authority to amend returns when in
their judgment they ate erroneous. The
Bill further provides that property shall
lie returned ut its market value. The
j following arc among the special taxes
enumerated :
Skating links, SSO.

tistry, $lO.
Daguerean and similar artistA, sls.
Auctioneers, $25.
Pool or billiard table, $25.

Vendors of patent medicines, oilier
than regular tnerchantSj for every coun

Poll tax, sl.
Magicians and flllght-i f hand per
formers, $25 for each and every perfor
mance.
Circus companies SIOO for every day

population between 5,000 and 10 000,
and $25 in towns with a population un
der 5,000.

Railroad companies, one p r c ut. on
their net earnings.
Home and foreign insurance e mpa
nies, one per cent, on all premiums, in
money or otherwise, received by them.
Express companies, ono per cent, on
gross receipts.
The Comptroller General is authorized
to older tax receivers to commence re
ceiving tux returns immediately after
April 1.
The GompJroller Genet al is required
to cause tho taxes to ho collected by
December 15.
It further provides that fho oath to
be administered to all persons making
returns o! their taxable property shall
be in the Words following: “You do
solemnly swear that you will true an
swers give to nil lawful questions I may
put to you touching the returns that you
are about to make; and that you will
make a true return ol all your taxable
property, ut its rnaikct value, on the
first day ol April, proceeding, to the best
of your knowledge and belief. So help
you God.”
Small I’oxnml Vaccination*
As that loathsome and extremely dis
tressing disease, small pox, is prevailing
to an ulai ming extent in various por
tions of tho country, it will he well for
all persons to guard against its vii ulence
by means of vaccination. We presume
our resident physicians have a supply of
vaccine matter.
As to the advantages of vaccination,
we make tho following extract from tho
Boston Medical Surgical Journal a very
high medical authority, and it will bo
read with interest:
The following propositions are offered
as matters of belief, and some ol them as
matters of record:
Ist, Without vaccination, one death
in ten ffoin all causes Would bo tiro re
sult of Binnll-p ix.
2d. Without vaccination, nineteen
out of twenty would have smalLpox.
Sd. Without vaccination, sixty-sev
en per Cent, of the eases of small-pox
would be fatal.
4tln With vaccination, not two per
cent, of the inhabitants will take small
pox .
sth. With vaccination, the percent
age ol death bom small pox is only a
bout right ut tho two per Cent, who will
take it.
Cuh. A larger percentage of those
; who have bail small pox will bavo the
j secondary disease than of those who
have been vaccinated. This is to say,
| vaccinia is a better prevention of vurio
| loid than smnll-pox is.
7th. Humaniz'd virus, is more likely
;to take than tho original virus from the
] COW.
| fill Humanized virus, whether it
i tarteJ or not,does not produce such se
| vo<o constitutional symptoms us primary
! eowjvifus does.
; 9th. It is not proved that either hu
manized virus or primary cow virus is
the belter in its protective effects.
10th. There are Certain individuals
who do not seem susceptible of variola
11th. There are certain individuals
; who do uot seem susceptible of vaccina
tion.
12. Tho taking of small-pox after
vaccina ti. n is no proof that a si coi.tl vac
cination would have succeeded.
13th. A successful re-vaccination is
no proof that the individual re-vaccina
fed would have taken small-pox.
A Happy Man.
Tweed, the Gre.it New York financier,
w ho is now undergoing trial lor the per
petration of n ouster frauds, a few days
ago while leading the evidence ol Oakes
Ames before the Credit Mobiiicr Com
mittee, said : “Tl.ank God! I am not a
Congressman] As had as they say 1
am, they have never accused me ol sell
ing my vote as Seuatoi!”
Atlanta/ CorrespoiMl«-noe
• > .Senate Chamber, I
Att.anita, Oa , Jam 28, 1873 {
Editor Quitmart Banter .-—The session
opened peacefully enough, and during
the three weeks that hare elapsed since,
the current of legislation lias flowed snj
tranquilly along, broken with so little of
ii cident, correspondents have been
put to their tClt’s ends for material for
letters. They hare their eyes and ears
and note books op«wi, however, and be
lieve that half ad. sensations aro to I
come yet, all 'crowded' together. Pity
Hie man then who doesn’t lake a news -
paper, ar and get bis news fresh. There j
is such a dfference between jiemneivs and
old news—tbo difference between Lot |
griddles and cold griddles.
But you need not look for a repetition
of tho stormy scenes of ’6B, ’9 and JO,
when the republican and democratic for
ces were bo nearly equal. Now, if there
is clashing it will be between democrats;
but there is little danger of it : the par
ty believes in He strength of union, and
will not at present hazard its hold upon
tho power it has regained, l y division
and strive.
Wc see many new faces in tl.c Senate
some good, some bad, some i I the other
U’ud. The new are welcome, but we
would gladly have seen many of tl.o old
back. This body is composed of so few,
that the members, unlike those of the
Lower House, become intimately ac
quainted and attached to each other. A
kind of family feeling is engendered, and
when the elections send up anew set of
| Representatives, the lor.s of the outgoing
iiieinbcts is felt. Yet this principle of
| change—of rotation.—-with all that can
] be said against it, is probably one of the
best ,in our system of government.
Judge Reese, at my elbow, remarks, that
it takes an infusion of ,tbo now to ke<p
tl.o body healthy.
The new members cordially united
with tl.o old in placing Mr. Trammei.i.
again in the chair. It may be doubted
j wlietl or wo have another member so
well fitted fur tho position. Democrats
land republicans alike give him credit
[ for being a good officer. He is ready,
I lie is posted; he is Courteous and impar
| lial, and knows bow to dispatch busi-
ness.
Some important bills have been intro
duced, had their third reading, and have
gone to tho other branch, Hie State
House and tho Senatorial elections have j
been held, the Committees given some-.
thing to do, and for two weeks all the
wheels of legislation have been in rapid!
motion.
Several changes are proposed in the :
public school system 1 , but none of them 1
for tho better, I fear, and none of them !
at the ii.stance of Professor Orr, the
School Commissioner.
One sweeps away the wholo system
and leaves the subject entirely with the
committees. Another takes that portion
of tho School Fund derived from the
State Road, $150,000 a year, aud de
votes it to tiio payment erf the State
debt. The fund is now so small that
only little can be done in the prosecu
tion of the work ; it would seem cruel
indeed to further cripple the Commis
sioner, who is a thorough school mao, a
good and careful officer, and who is la
boring amid great difficulties to give to
theStatea system that will compare fa
vorably with those of other Stales, that
shall be a in-ui.s ot enlightenment and
great blessing to Georgia ’ whole peo
ple, for years and generations to come.
The latter frill has passed the Senate
and is now before the House. It is hop
ed that it may there be fully discussed,
and that members will be led to see the
impolicy of supporting such a measure
now, mid vote it down.
The lower counties have their delega
tions here quietly working in the inter
est of the Gulf Hoad extension. This
measure will meet, it is said, with great
opposition, but its friends arc hopeful
that tiiis time it will not miscarry. It
is too early to say what will lie tho is
sue. It is quite certain that if it goes
through the Assembly again, it will not
fail to become a Jaw fur want of the
. Governor’s signature.
The weather hCre is not a subject to
write about, even if it dees so often fur
-1 nisb lire staple of cc nversation. I will
say to you, however, that if you arc
Coming to make us a v : sit before the
session eloses, bring with you an abun
dance o! warm clothing, a biace of uin
brellas, overshoes, rubber boots, and if
yeti have not forgotten how to use them,
a pair of stilts. Os remedies for colds
and catarrhal affections,(it wou'd be well:
to huve a supply. But I would not
come, now. Defer vonr trip until March j
or April, or outil such time as you can
get about dry shed. C.
A New Api’orhonmkst. —The bill before ]
tbe Legislature providing for anew ap
portionment of Representatives, reduces
tbe number of Representatives in Mor
gan, Columbia, Warren, l'uiaski, Lee
and Randolph, to one each; secures oue
for McDuffie, Dodge, Douglas and Rock
dale, and gives two to Walton and Jack
son. It makes no change in the repre
sentatiou of other counties.
Increase of I'ay.
T!ie Judiciary C jmmiHre of tbe Ilonec
of Itepresenla'ives at Waslington, lias
reported a bill increasing tbe pay of cer
tain < fficiula. The salary of the Presi
dent is to be $50,000 a year; tbe Vice
President $10,000; tbe Speaker of the
House SIO,OOO, arid members of Congress
$8,00t). It iR preposed by tbe bill to
abolish tbe mileage system, but the
leeches will strike said cl a tree from the
bill.
Tti* Florida Senatorsliij«.
Ti e long agony, at Tallabae.se, is over
—tiio ten days’ contest is ended. S. B.
Conover, a Republican, has been elected
United States Senator. Ah the gentle
man received twenty-seven Democratic
votes, it is presumed lie is less objection
able than other prominent Radicals of
Florida.
State Kond Claims.
A few days ago Gov, Smith sent a
message to the General Assembly, trans
mitting tin: report of the Board of Com
missioners appointed to audit unliquida
ted claims against the State Road.
Eleven hundred and twenty-one claims,
aggregating $864,781, were presented
and passed upon. Os this amount $330,-
218 was awarded us just, and $524,362;
rejected. The Board also settled a
number of personal injury caßes, in Which
damages were claimed amounting to;
$471,700 for $35,000. The Board con
sisted of Benjamin Conley, D. A. Walker
and George Ifillyer; and if it has been
really just to claimants, it is deserving
the thanks of tax payer for saving the
State in the neighborhood of one million
of dollars.
.) iKlicinl Appointment*.
Gov. Smith recommended, and the
Senate confirmed lion A. 11. Hansel! of
Tiioniasville, Judge of tbe Southern Cir
; cuit, and Capt R. G. Mitchell, of the
) same town, Solicitor General of said Cir
cuit. These are good appointments—
I the gentlemen aro admirably qualified

How Wliitcly Was titcctrrl tu Con-
KI'CSS.
IT. V. Bed field, the correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, was in Allan
ta during the Senatorial canvass, and as
umiak, interviewed all sorts of people who
seemed at all likely to furnish him an
item. Among others with whom he talked
was a negro member of the Legislature,
who told him all about how Whitely
managed to secure his lunt election to
Congress. Said the colored Solon:
Col. Whitely is ono of the greatest
men that walks on this here country.
The fool niggers voted the Democratic
ticket so much that we only elected qtir
man by fifty votes. We woiked every

TeMPRRAKCK liKOI-lATInN IX PcNN'SYI.VAN*
nia. — In the I’cnnylvatiia Assembly last
week, a resolution was adopted by a
large vote, providing that no intoxica
ting liquors shall be kept or drank in the
House. Afterwards, thinking this pro
vision insufficient to effect the object
desired, a Mr, f.awshe presented a reso
lution, which was also passed, that all
bottles except those containing ink
should l>e removed mini the cloak-room.
If, says Forney's Press, after this, the
[capita! does not become a temple of tem
perance, there is no virtue in legislative
enactments.— Exchange.
The resolution will work injuriously.
The members will cither fill their jxiuches,
previous to legislative hours, and take
their seats beastly drunk, or carry in
their pockets flasks fill with the exhila
rating fluid.
; The Valdosta Times learns that a fund
.by private subscription is being raised
to build a bridge across , tbe Wiihlacoo
I cl.ee river, between Lowndes and Madi
son comities. This is a good move for
the commercial welfare of Ya’dosta. Two
more are needed between Lowndes and
Brooks, ami we hope the c tuny com-'
inissionpis will take the matter into se
rious consideration. The people across
the river desire to communicate with
Savannah by way of Valdosta instead et
Quitman, as heretofore, and to this end
are taking np a subscription among
their.sel ves.— Sac. Advertiser.
Exactly I We trust the bridges refer
red to wits be ooostmeted in time for the
moving of the next cotton crop, as many
of the planters of Lowndes county find it
to their interest to bring their crops to
Quitman, and thereby receive the bene
fits of a good market.
Civil. Rights. —The negro Represents- ,
live troin Thomas county, Atkinson, a
few days ago introduced a bill in the
House, making hotels, courts, churches, j
and all places of public amusement,
equally accessible to all classes, a vio
lation of the same to bo liable to a line i
ot SSOO or imprisonment. We would
like to kuow who drew the bid for the
nigger. i
Ballou's Magazine fob February —We
are glad to welcome the February num
ber of Bollou's Magazine, for it is one of
our favorites, always bringing pleasin'
and comfort through its well-stocked
pages, [which interest and amuse. It i
makes the children happy, it makes the
ladies of tie household happy, and re-;
moves some of the burdens of life, al i
least for a time. There is a ivays such
a variety in the Magazine, that all tastes
must be suited. Here is a sea story,
full of wild adventure, lie re a quiet do
mestic tale, and tbe next u lover’s yarn
fi r the sentimental (and at some time in
our livrs we are a little inclined thSt
way), eloquent poetry, and many other
featines, too numerous to mention. Bal
lon’s Magazine is So cheap that al! car
take it without feeling in the least im
poverished. Why, it is only $1.50 per
year, and a pretty little Cbromo thrown
in, or 15 cents single copies; a sum that
a person often throws away in a thought
less moment. Our advice is, take it,
and enjoy it as we do. Address Thome-s
