The N. Y. Herald mentions the rumor
that the Administration in perfecting a plan
\* hereby the government shall resume specie
payments before the Ist of January, 1872.
Senatorial* Question. —The telegrams
report that five out of seven of the Sena
torial Committee have reported in favor of
f-enting Hill and Miller. The question will
doubtless be disposed of before we go to
I ress.
In twenty one counties in rhe Firßt Con
gressional District, from which returns
have been received and are regular, Paine's
majority, Democratic, is 3 018. In three
counties, where the returns are said to be
iTregular, bis majority is 2,000, making a
♦dear majority of 5.0T8. From five counties
ilie returns have not been received. Thus
«iys the Savannah News.
A Wasaington dispatch to the Macon
Journal of the 10th says: “The President
disclaims any intention of reverting the
Southern States back to military law, as he
>nys the issue has been fairly tried, and
nhat there can no longer be any doubt
: bout the result. Butler says that he does
•’""t intend that any amnesty bill shall be
passed, so long as New England can pre
vent it/'
Tiie New York Herald says: ‘‘The re
•■onstruction of the Southern States, on a
Republican basis, has been a venture for
r 've Radicals. All the States thieaten to go
iVmocratic at the next Presidential elec
*i"n, and somo of the extremists in Wash
. rngton serionsly contemplate a fresh recon
-‘ruction. They ought to seriously dread
any further handling of the subject/'
Some idea of the condition of the people
v ho arc shut up in Paris may be had fiom
a Tribune telegram, which says:
“Coal cannot be bought, as it has all
' f'p n used for casting cannon and by the
railways and mills. Wood is nearly gone ;
the trees of the Bois Boulogne and the
1 oulevardß are now being cut. Children
:re dying for the want of milk. The total
i nmber of deaths for each of the last two
weeks was 2,700. Bread is plentiful ;it is
r ' it rationed, and is expected to last to the
end of February."
Georgia at Washington.— The Patriot
of Tuesday, says :. ‘‘Georgia Radicals await
s he return of Attorney-General Akerman
to Washington with much anxiety. They
Impe then for positive information as to the
intentions of the leaders of their party in
Georgia, and whether the chances are fav
< rable to reconstruct the present political
status before admiring the State. In this
connection it becomes interesting to watch
the plan which leading Radicals in Con
gress are said to have on foot for recon
structing, not only Georgia but Florida,
Alabama, and North Carolina as well.
Paris — lmportant if True. — General
Thicrat, 6ays the New York Evening Ex
cess of the sth, is said to have sent a par-
Hamantaire to headquaters at Versailles
t '-day, with instructions to ask that a
German officer should be sent to confer with
General Trochu. It is supposed that the
subject proposed to be discussed at this
inference relates to an armistice to which
'rochu is supposed to be inclining, hut
nothing definite has yet been elicited on the
'■object. The request—so the story goes—
lias been transmitted to King William for
his decision.
Major Joiin 11. Steele, Editor of the

three months. He was the oldest Editor

The State Hoad.
The assignment bv Mr. Stephens of his
interest in the State Road to the State of
Georgia, created considerable excitement
with the Company a few days ago. Ex-
Gov. Brown “goes back" at Mr. Stephens,
and tells him he ought not to have treated
him so badly. The letter- of Ex-Gov.
Brown remonstrating with Mr. Stephens
was then followed by a publication of bids,
Ac., by various parties. This last publica
tion shows evideutly that there was a com
bination so formed as to get the road for
$25 00 ) per month, by allowing members
of all the railroad companies to become
members of this new company. Governor
Bullock was evidently in a hurry to let out
the road on a particular day, when the act
did not say that it should be done on any
certain day. The new company organized
the other day by the election of the follow
ing officers : President, Joseph E Brown ;
Superintendent, Cole : Auditor, E. G.
CahaDiss; Treasurer, G. M. Smith, of
Pennsylvania.
Reconstruction Complete.
Gov. Bullock is out in a letter addressed
to som« unknown Democrat, in which he
claims reconstruction complete j D Georgia,
except as to the sth District. The Govern
or earnestly urges the admission (four
Representatives in Congress and the Sena
tors elected in 187<). The Governor thinks
that the sth Congressional District should
be reconstructed, because the people in that
District in the recent election attempted to
vindicate and respect the Constitution of
our State, rather than an unconstitutional
law, which was truly obnoxious to every
honest man. The Governor would insist
unblushingly for the reconstruction of the
entire S f ate if he had any encouragement,
upon the ground simply, that the State has
gone Democratic; but we are informed bv
those who pretend to know, that Congress
has given him and his followers to under
stand that they must take care of them
selves. Hence his column and a half letter
saying that the election is as fair as could
he expected under the circumstances, ex
cept in the stn District.
llailicul Advice Against More Reconstruc
tion of (Georgia.
The Atlanta Constitution thinks the
futher reconstruction of Georgia will un
doubtedly be attempted by the defeated
Radicals, if there is any hope of success.
And it may be attempted anyhow.
But let the people of this country hold it
in everlasting remembrance, that of all the
political parties that have ever flourished in
this country, the Badical is the sole one
that Las sought to overthrow State govern
ments as a remedy for its own defeat, and
as a means to secure its success. All other
parties have been willing to respect law
and popular verdict; hut this faction, in
its mad greed for power, has been willing
and sought fiercely to stab the government
to get its control. The monstrous wrongs
done by it upon the very body of funda
mental law and popular liberties, must
stand as an eternal reminder ol its intrinsic
iniquity, and as an unanswerable plea for
its downfall at the hands of virture and in
telligence, when they are free to act and
speak.
Some of the northern Republicans have
a sense of justice in the matter, that
prompts them to speak out against the
wrong. The Buffalo Advertiser, a Radical
paper in New York State, congratulates the
Georgia Radicals on their election of the
few Congressmen they have elected, and
adds the following wise and just words,
which we commend to Gov. Bullock and
his people for perusal:
“This congratulation will be turned into
disappointment, however, if the sore-head
ed politicians in that State persevere in
their declared intention to bring Georgia
again before Congress. Duringjhe election
we heard from both sides that the voting
was taking place without tumult or riot.
Now we are informed that some of the de
feated Republican Congressmen intend to
contest the election of their Democratic
opponents, on the ground of frauds, intimi
dations and outrages committed at the
polls. One correspondent says that ‘thous
ands’ of negro voters were driven from the
ballot-box in one district.
Now, to be somewhat exprossive, that
sort of talk is ‘played out,' and the North
ern people are heartily pick of it. If, after
all the precautions that have been taken
and the laws that have been passed for his
protection, the negro voter is not yet se
cure, why, he never will be. We do not
believe that he will be, in fact, so long as
those who coddle him feel that they "can
run - to Congress' with their everlasting
grievances. We take all such stories of
intimidation and violence with a strong
dose of doubt. There is good reason to be
lieve that the old ‘rebel element' is willing
enough to act ugly towards the freedmen.
But the Southern men have learned some
thing by experience, and they know that *
no anti-Republican Congressmen-elect has
a chance of admission if any charge of
illegal proceedings at the polls cae be
proved against his party ; and hence the
majority of the Southern people are too
shrewd to give their political adversaries
any such chance to make capital against
them.
The fact is, that the Southern States are
overrun by a lot of political adventurers,
who have lived on the Republican party
until they have sucked all the life out of it
in that quarter of the country. Such men
are nothing without office; they have taken
ro pains to live on good terms with the
Southern people, as they telt sure that
political honors were theirs so long as they
desired them. Now that the wheel is turn
ing, and that they have demoralized their
own party by theis selfishness and unscrup
ulousuess, they cling with the grip of dying
men to the profitable place that are slipping
away from them, and they hope to make
Gongress do for them what the ballot box
has failed to do. They are mistaken. The
Northern people have submitted to such
tactics until forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue, and they will submit no longer. If
the defeated'oandidates in Georgia are wise
they will bear tbeir overthrow with good
grace aRd keep their disappointment to
themselves."
. Rc-R ©cons tract ion.
A Washington correspondent to the N.
Y. World of recent date says the announce
mant in the dispatches last week that lead
ing Radical Senators were considering the
propriety of attempting the reconstruction
of some of the Southern States agaiD, is
confirmed by later developments. It Ap
pears that the question was talked ovei at
a conference the other night between le»d
ing Radical Senators from the West end
several Senators representing the South,
including one from North Carolina. The
unexpected Democratic triumph in Georgia
proved to-be a great source of grief, anc it
was admitted, unless something was done
by Congress in the meantime, that the eec
toral vote of the South would be cast solidly
for the IVmoerat'c candidate for Presidmt.
One Radical Senator, who seemed less
headstrong than the rest, was hold enough
to express the opinion that any attempt
made by Congress to take military domi
nation of these States again would be njet
with a reaction that would utterly annihi
late the Republican party. The first step
in the programme is to fiud a pretext, apd
it Is said that both Senators Chandler and
Morton have advised the President to re
commend to Congress, in a special message,
the creation of a special commission to in
vestigate the condition of the South, etc.
“ With pecret eonrse, which ro loud stormp finnojr;
Glides the smooth current c( domestic joy.”
Does the young heart wish to know
whether the loftiest triumphs of ambition,
at the sacrifice of the home affections, ever
conduct to happ : ness ? Bright shone the
sun of Ansterlitz, as to reflect the glory of
one transcendent man. The sous-officer of
a French company had become the armed
dictator of a continent; and yet, with a
continent at his feet, with a career already
confided to history, in comparison with
which the proudest achievement? of the
proudest of the Cse-ars had been made to
pa'e, writing from the retirement of hi? own
soul to Josephine—his reproachful wife;
Josephine, restless in her empire—woman's
empire—the empire of the heart, which
she would have had more boundless than
visible space, and more enduring .than
time ; complaining of how much she suf
fered on account of his absence in hot pur
suit of her sole rival—Ambition! The
soldier, the consul, the conqueror, the Em
peror, Napoleon Bonaparte, penned these
most significant words : “Thou and I have
lived long enough to know that to live is to
suffer." Ah ! wonderful man, and did it
not occur to thy prof >und thought that a
just God had made neither thyself nor
Josephine to suffer? That the same spirit
of eternal law which guides in the world of
instinct the burdened bee from the robbed
flower to his six-sided cell of wax—must,
if implicitly obeyed, conduct the human
soul to its final rest, “lone wondering" at
times, it may be, but not wholly “lost ?"
And it did Dot then require the barron
rocks of Bt. Helena, nor the monotonous
roar of ocean, which salutes thy walk upon
that desolate strand, as if chanting the
funeral derge of Hope herself, to teach thee
that no triumphal march of Ambition,
however gorgeous; no achievement of hu
man genius, however Godlike ; no terestial
Empire constructed bv indomitable energy,
massive block upon block as the Egyt an
architect reared the pyramid ; no pomp and
circumstance of glorious war; “no starred
and spangled court where low born baseness
wafts perfume to pride," can compensate
for the sacrifice of one devoted woman’s
love.

“Gev. Grant, it is understood, says the
Herald, will shortly send such information
to Congress, touching the late Southern
elections, as will change the Amnesty bill
pending into another reconstruction bill.
The reconstruction, however, most needed
is, we fear, a reconstruction among the
Republican managers down South. ”
The World cf same date says: A re
reconstruction of the South is hinted from
Washington, but will hardly amoun t to
much. The bayonet can upset what the
ballot has done thero ; but the moment the
re-commenees the ballot trips the
bayonet in turn.
An Interesting Relic.—The oldesfstove,
probably, in the United States, is the one
which warms the Capitol at Richmond, in
\ irgima. It was made in Ergland in 1770
and warmed the House of Burgess for sixty
years before it was removed to its location
where it has been for thirty years. It has
survived three British monarchs, has been
contemporaneous with four kingly mon
archies, two republics, and two imperial
governments in France. The great Amers
lean republic has been torn by internal
strife the breach partly healed, and still
the oM stove remains the same, unmoved,
in the midst of all. —Ex. '

State Road Ring—Mr. Stephens Backs Oat
Liberty Hall, )
Crawfordville, Ga., Jan 6. 1871.)
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist, Au
gusta. Ga.:
Dear Sib: In the issue of your paper
of yesterday appeared an exposition ot the
facts of my connection with the lease of the
State Road.
When that was penned, several days ago,
I supposed, as is apparent from the whole
paper, that everything pertaining to the
letting of the lease, under the act of the
Legislature, was fair and just. If there had
been anything wrong in the acceptance or
rejection of any bid or bids, I was not aware
ot it, as I stated. On that point I had seen
or heard of no complaints whatever.
To-day I have been put in possession of
a statement in writing, made by A. K.
Seago, of Atlanta, in which he avers that
he and others named by him did put in a
bid for the lease of the road at $36,500 per
month being $11,500 more per month
than the sum bid by the company to which
it was leased, and in which my name ap
pears as one of the lessees. lie moreover
states that his company was worth a million
of dollars, and tendered security to the
amount of over eight million of dollars.
This statement, coming from the quarter
it does, is quite sufficient to cause me to
sever all my connection with the lease. In
doing this, it is not my wish to be under
stood as passing judgment upon the conduct
of others. I act only for myself, in declar
ing that I cannot think for a moment of
holding an interest in the lease under this
statement of facts.
In all that I did in regard to the whole
matter, as I have before stated, I was gov
erned more by a wish and desire to promote
the interest of the State than by any object
of personal gain.
I send you with this a copy of a return
by me to the State of all the interest I had
in the company to which the road was
leased, which I will be obliged to you to
give to the public with this communication.
Yours, truly,
Alexander 11. Stephens,
[copy.]
Ceorgia, Taliaferro County :
Know all men by these presents : That
I, Alexander H. Stephens, of said State
and county, for divers good and sufficient
causes, me thereunto moving, having as
signed and transferred, and do hereby
assign, transfer and turn over to the said
State of Georgia, all the right, title and
interest I have to and in the share I hold in
the Western and Atlantic Railroad Cum
pany, under the lease of said road for the
term of twenty years ; the said share being
the one-fourth of a full share in the stock of
said company, or the one ninety second
part thereof; and Ido hereby authorize and
direct the Treasurer of said State for the
time being to collect and receive from the
proper officer of said company all dividends,
if any, which shall at any time hereafter
be declared to be due to the said portion of j
said stock so held by me—the said Treas
urer to hold the same suject to the action
of the General Assembly of the State. In
testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this 6th day of
j l. s. V January, 1871.

The Rochester Union declares that the j
Radical party is going to the dogs. If this
is true, it is a melancholy thing for the
dogs. Louisville Courier-Journals
We learn, from the Barncsvilld Gazette,
that the residence of A. M. W eaver, Esq.,
eight miles S>utb of Barnesville, was en
tirely consumed by fire on Friday 'night
last. Sfr. Weaker and family narrowly
made their escape from the raging fl tmes,
loosing every thing they had in their dwell
ing ; not even their clothing could be saved,
so closely were they pursued by the roaring,
terific, consuming clement. We are proud
to learn, however, that numbers of our kind
hearted community are responding to their
necessities.
We also learn that the residence of Mrs.
Cato, near Flint river, in the eastern por
tion of Talbot county, was burned a few
days ago. The fire was accidental, having
caught from the chimney, and destroyed
nearly the entire household goods and
effects es Mrs. Cato. She is a poor widow
woman, whom we hope the good people will
aid in her misfortune.
OBITUARY.
Mrs. Arminp.y A. Nelson, wife of Thomas J. Nelson
died January 3d, IS7I, in the 23th year of her age. ’
She was the daughter of Stith and Catliron Parham,
of Meriwether couDty, Ga. She was married to Thus.
•J. Nelson in 1865, and became step-mother to three
motherless children to whom she proved to be nn affec
tionate mother, exhibiting nn Interest, care and skill in
directing the lives of the little ones rarely found in any
mother. During her illness she summoned her little
charge to her bedside and enjoined upon them the ne
cessity of being good and obedient children, exhorting
them at length expressing her willingness to die; felt
prepared, and saw her way clear. She talked much of
the certainty of her death and her perfect resignation
to her fate; saying her only regret was leaving her
husband and the children. When nearins: her final end
she called little Tommie to her and gave him her little
pet pig, and gave him directions how to grow his pig
and how to dispose of it, and what to do with the pro
ceeds, continuing to admonish him to be a good boy,
and to learn his lessons well so that the teacher would
not punish hi in. Loving Mother! How that child will
miss her! She was a lady of rare lrtterary attainments,
delighted in the culture of flowers, and the propagation
of science and the liner arts. She possessed good
business judgment, often siding her husband in his
business transactions. He has lost his all.
“A weight of suffering his spirit seals,
As he stands of life’s sweetest joy bereft.”
Such was her modesty that it was by some construed
to be timidity. Refusing to push herself forward she
was, at times, taken to be reserved, but to the writer
and those who knew her well, there was never a more
open hearted, free, and affable woman in our aeqaint
ance. A more devoted and affectionate wife we have
never known. A tear steals down the cheak as we write.
She is gone! Gone from society, neighbors and friends !
Gone from those dear little girls ! whom she said, had just
arrived at an interesting age. Gone from him to whom
she was dearer than life! Gone, forever gone, from
little Tommie, her darling boy! But we are consoled
and staid in our feelings when we remember our loss is
her eternal gala.
“ A life in heaven, it hath no tide
To toss the voyager's bark aside,
A wreck upon the shore,
Though countless years may roll along,
We still may sing the joyous song,
O’ life for evermore.
