THETHOMASTON HERALD. ( II AS. G. BEAHC EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR " HOMASTON, GA , JAN. 14, 1871. The THOM ASTON HERALD hat n Large ( ircnlntinn In I'pnon, Plk**, Meriwether, " i»lho<, Spalding, Monroe, IJibb, Mnarogee ml Units. 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 Atlanta Intelligencer, is dead lie died on the 11th inst., in Atlanta, after an illness, imd close confinement to his bed for nearly three months. He was the oldest Editor ii the State and one of the ablest. It seems Vat natural to us, and yet foi; him how lofty too panegyric ! that we who know him best . J ioal#fbel this most: that the void he has i* l ?t behind him should ache most painfully i v i the hearts of those who were nearest to hhn, when he died: and that while the tush of the agitated times in which we live i"ay be constraining the thoughts of others * * topics of a more immediate, practical, and selfish interest, we must needs leave the impetuous stream to sweep by us as it may, v bile, steping to the hank, we commingle ■ ir sighs above his sacred ashes, and wreath around his memory a tear-wet gar lutid of tenderest bloom.

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. State Senators Elected. There were 22, or one-half the whole number of State Senators elected ac the late election. Os this number 19 are Dem ocrat-', and 3 Radicals.

J y “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. ' Synopsis ofTelfgrnplHc *«wi.

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. Alexander 11. Stephens. A Knoxville contemporary says that in Georgia, “the Democrats played against loaded dice and won.” And tie might add that the Bullock party “staked their all upon the hazard of the'die,” and—died.— i Bashville Banner. f 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.
