UIiITMAN BANNER. QUITMAN: 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. Professions of law, medicine and den tistry, $lO. Daguerean and similar artistA, sls. Auctioneers, $25. Pool or billiard table, $25. Bagate'le table, $25. Ten pin alley, S2O. All other tables or game, unless foi exercise nr amusement, not prohibited by law, $lO. Vendors of patent medicines, oilier than regular tnerchantSj for every coun ty, SSO. Poll tax, sl. Magicians and flllght-i f hand per formers, $25 for each and every perfor mance. Circus companies SIOO for every day in cities containing a population over 10,000, and SSO in cities containing a population between 5,000 and 10 000, and $25 in towns with a population un der 5,000. Shows and exhibitions (except for 1 it— entry or charitable piivpos- s), $25. 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 i fur the posititions—but many of the oil - ; ixens if Brooks are dueati.Cini, as they | were partial 10 one of our own citizens (Or the Judgship. 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 day and night, I made fifty speeches We spent all onr money. Col. Whitcley put in tin- lust cent—the last cent, sail One day I wont to his house for money to bring out the darkies, llis wife kept the money. "Wife,” said he, “givu Jim some money.” ‘There ain’t but two dollars in the house,” she says. ‘‘Give it to him,” lie says; ' I’m going to spend the last,” and lie did, we only missed be ing l,eat by a mighty little N< At time they Will set him. I tell you, sail, some of these days the Democrats will have every bit of this State under themselves just as they want it. 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 & Talbot, 36 Bromfield Street, Boston. The President has signed the hill re pealing the franking privilege.
