THETHOMASTON HERALD. J. C. McMICHAEL M. C. CAHANISS, Knrroßs and rBomiKTORS. THOMABTON, GA., JUNE 17,1871. ~ The THOM ASTON HEIIALU has n Lnigt C'lrcvlatlon In Plkr, Mfrlwftlifr, Talbot, Spalding, Monroe, Bibb, Munvogre and Bntt*. Platforms and Cnudhlatc*. Several papers of the State insist that the Southern Democrats take no part in the next Presidential Convention and allow our Northern allies to make the platform, put the man of their choice on it, and we, the Southern Democrats, like so many negroes, are to he voted ns they dictate and fur whom thf*y may dictate. The reasons Urged for this course ia that we cannot go into such a convention without damaging our “North ern nlliea." We were told the same thing three ngo. and told if we would wait we could in four years longer, be allowed to have a voice. Our delegates attended the convention, but took no lead nor did they offer to take it— leaving the making of the platform and the selection of candidates with the Western and Northern Democracy. Our Northern brethern selected Feymoure and Blair as the standard bearers. Not withstanding we did not at the time think it good policy to nominate the old New York “political fossil" and the wild Mis souri soldier, still the South without a mur mur supported these men and gave them a handsome majority. In our opinion, a more unwise selection could not have been made, and it was made by our “ Northern allies ." If our “Northern allies" want our votes they certainly should give us an op portunity of selecting the man and declar ing the principles for which we are to vote. The South will by no means be exacting either as to men or platforms. We are heartily tired of the present military, Ku- Klux Administration, and earnestly desire a total reform. If we are to he put off from participating in the next Presidential nomi nation by such a pica, why may we not, in like manner, be put off, for all time to come, not only from conventions, but also from enjoying the fruits of victory, if a victory should he gained, and that too, after con trihuting largely in gaining it. Our poli tics are to participate with our “Northern allies" as well as co-operate with them. Macon und Western Itailrourt Lease. Tho “great mogul" of the Central Bail road has at last succeeded in his long cher ished desire of getting control of the Macon and Western Railroad. This line being secured in the interest of the Central, give* Mr. Wadley an opportunity of controlling a line of railway front Memphis to Savannah, lie has already, by lease and otherwise, con trol of the. entire line of railway from Savan nah tn Vi<»buhnrg, via Columbus and Mont gomery. These arrangements have made Mr. Wadley the ‘ biggest ra lroad man" in the South, and the Central R. R , the most powerful corporation. This grasping for and controlling long lines of railway, and that too, the most important lines that con nect the Mississippi river with the Atlantic ocean, will prove, we fear, highly detriment al to the interest of the country. Great monopolies never benefit any country. They absorb all competing lines, break down healthy competition, and thereby destroy the only security which the public can have against oppression from groat and powerful corporations. To have the lines of railways running West and Northwest which are feed ers to the great Central, owned and contfoll* ed by different companies, would be a check on the railroad avarice of the Central and would keep it on its good behavior. But as it is, the Central can afford to “behave" as it may see proper, and no power or combi nation of circumstances can divert or change the direction of freight or travel. Such a power is a dangerous one, and should not be tolerated in any corporation. The people are to suffer by it, and the people should see to it, that this “great concern" is check ed in its progress to power and railroad cen tralization. But a few months ago our Supreme Court put a quietus to one of the Central’s little tricks, and we hope it will do the Bame in this instance. Sueh a course as the one adopted by the “Grand Central" is contrary both to the interest and policy of the State. The policy of the State is and has ever been, to encourage competition in railroads as well as other enterprises. The security and prosperity of the country will in a great measure, be com prom sed by a de parture from the heretofore policy of the State, on this subject. In England these “huge" corporations are limited as to the amount of property owned or controlled by them. The English Government saw so plainly the danger to result ultimately from these great monopo lies that within a few years baek,tbe church of England was limitted and restricted in the amount of property to be owned and controlled by it. If the increasing strength of eelesiastical bodies was sufficient to arouse the fears of the English Government, why may not the ever grasping avarice and in creasing strength of a railroad corporation arouse our State to action. This power, exercised as stated by the Central, is “ultra vires,” if not by expression of charter, it cer tainly is, when we take into consideration the policy of the State. The coming Legis lature should put a cheek rn some way to the dangerous strides, the Central Railroad is making to power. Centralization of pow er and control in railroads is as dangerous to the agricultural and commercial well bei-ng of the country, as the centralization of polit ical power in the General Government would be to the rights of the Statee and civil liberty. Telkgru’BJO news not worth publishing this week. Little Men In Big Places. The history of almost every government shows that small men ojten Jill larye places. And in no country, is it more painfully true than in the United States at the present time. The boiling of the great political caldron throws the scum in the shape of small men t< the surface, and though their stay may he of short duration, still it is sufficiently long to disgrace anv country afflicted with them. In this way, we have been alllicted with quite a number of small men. The President though he may be a great soldier and understand very well the science of wholesale butchery, jtill he is a very small man ami is in no way suited to his exalted position. lie evinces Bis littleness in no plainer manner than by his appoint ing to place and power men who are fully as small as himself. Presidents heretofore, notwithstanding some of them were the greatest minds on the continent, called to their service ns counsellors the greatest men they could find. They sent to the foreign courts men of position and world wide reputation, arid filled the offices at home with men of ability and character. In days gore by, merit only secured a good positon, while in these days, it is gifts alone that will secure it. In days that arc gone, our Presidents were anxious to send our best men abroad, that they might, by their learning and intelligence, reflect credit upon the government; but in these days the President seems to care nothing about na tional reputation and appoints second class, ordinary men to important positions, when they make him presents. In almost every one of Grant’s appointments the office is much larger than the man. while the man should always be as large if not larger, than the office. It is a shame and disgrace to our intelligence, that such should be the case, and we hope ere long a great change in this particular, will he seen. Ileadly sat s of Napoleon, ‘that his great superiority, was exhibited more in his readiness in discover ing greatness in other men, and in giving them place arid position, that he might have the benefit of their counsel, than in any other way." If this he the true test, then what a very inferior man Mr. Grant muet he. Constitutionul Government. We have no w here seen a more just and beautiful tribute to constitutional govern ment than is found in the following extract from the speech of Mr. Groesbeck at the banquet of the Cincinnati Bar a few weeks since: “It is a great satisfaction to have any right we value clearly defined and put down in writing. If we make a contract of anv importance, we want it in writing. llow we cherish th» deed that makes good our right to the home where we dwell. We feel that there is insecurity and uncertainty about any rights w: ieh have not been affirm ed and carefully certified. It is of inestima ble importance to a people that their sacred rights of life and freedom, their personal and political rights, and the methods of administration that are to affect them should he plainly stated and fixed in enduring form. Tyranny makes no acknowledgments and signs no papers. Ahs«dute govern ments reject constitutional law, and hut few of the limited governments, eveu at the present day, are administered under written constitutions. This brings me, Mr. Presi dent. to your toast, ‘The Constitution of the United States.’ “It is in writing, the whole of it. That is a great excellence which we cannot over estimate. It is the work of distinguished patriots and sages, and the utmost care, and patience, and wisdom have been be stowed upon its preparation. It lays the foundations of the government on the acknowledged sovereignty of the people, and all the superstructure is fitly framed to this idea. Powers are necessarily granted and distributed to the different departments, that they may manage the interests confided to them ; but they are granted sparingly, and are to hs held and used as a sacred trust. All that remain are carefully re served to the States and the people. The sovereignty of our nation is no mystery, nor does it dwell at the Capitol. We wear it upon our shoulders as a garment. It is With the farmer in the field, with the arti san at his toil, with the shopman at his desk ; it is here at home with us. “Such is the theory of the Constitution of the United States. Nor is this all. Re membering the wrongs that have been done in the past centuries under the name of religion, established by the State, it de clares that no religion shall he established here; the conscience shall be free. Re membering how people have been oppressed, and forbidden to criticise or complain, it declares that speech shall be free and the press shall he free, and all shall be secure in persons, houses, and effects, against unreasonable search or seizure ; the soldier shall not dominate the man of peace ; nor shall any be wantonly deprived of life, liberty, or property, and trials he public and by an impartial jury. But I will not undertake in a company of distinguished lawyers to set forth what is written in the Constitution. It is enough to say it is framed in the interests ot the people, and makes the government theirs and subject to their control. ******* “Mr President, I have briefly responded to your toast, and you will allow me. in conclusion, to bespeak from all a closer walk with the Constitution That is one of the reforms much needed at the present time. lam sure you will allow me to say that many of the evils now troubling us are the results cf too much ind.fference toward the constitution ; and you w ill allow me further to express the h pe that the people will, with the least delay, change the re cent practice of administering it, and re-, turn to a stricter interpretation and a more faithful observance of all its direction." A bill has been pa*sed by one branch of the Massachusetts Legislature, providing that no railroad company, whose dividends for three years have averaged eight per eent. shall charge pas-engers more than two cents per mile, a proviso, that no fare shall he less-than ten cents. The Ku- Kiux are operating in Pickens county, Ga. A colored Deroociat named Anv Given had h-is house burned recently, and two other colered Democrats were bad ly beaten at the same time. The Radical deputy sheriff of the county was the Ku- Klux leader.— Ex. Macon and Western Railroad Lease. Mr. Whittle and two other directors and quite a number of Stockholders oppose the recent lease. They have placed on record their protest and in it declare, that the lease on the terms made by President White and the directors, will be ruinous to the interest of the road. The matter is now in the courts, aod will either receive judicial ratification or rejection, unless it is settled by combinations and little mutual tricks of interest, which railroad comnanies, fully understand. We are always alarmed when we hear of railroad people falling out, as it only means, that they will fall out and quarrel awhile and then unite for anew and more ex f «*nsivc <m the people. Railruuil Excitement. The Griffin S r ar, of Wednesday last, comes to us filled up with news of the in te.est manifested by the counties of Spald ing. Botts, Jasper and Morgan, f..r the Griffin and Madison Railroad The people in theie counties think they can manage to build a narrow gunge railroad from Griff'n to Madison, which according to the best information we can get, will not cost over ten thousand dollars per mile , for three hundred thousand dollars of private sub scription and ih cf/teen thousand .dollars per mile of State lid. Not being railroad men wp are unable to say whether or not this can be done, but this much we do say, if the people expect to get the full benefit of the fifteen thousand dollars per mile of State endorsement, they had better build it before the Legislature meets in November next. Resolutions of Ike Ohio Democracy. Resolved by the Democracy of Ohio. 1, That denouncing theextraordinarv mean hy which they were brought about, we recognize as accomplished fac's the three amendments to the Constitution recently declared adopted and consider the same as no longer political issues before the country. 2 We demand that the rule of strict construction, as proclaimed hy the Demo, eratie fathers and accepted by statesmen of all parties he rigorously applied now to the Constitution above referred to, and insist that those amendments shall not he held to have in any respect, altered or modified the original theory and character of the Federal government, but only to have en larged the powers delegated to it, and to that extent and nr more to have the re served right of the States, and that as thus construed, the Democratic party pledges itself to a full, faithful and absolute execu tion and enforcement of the Constitution as it now’ is, so as to secure equal rights to all persons under it without distinction of race, color or condition. 3. That the absolute equal ly of each and every State within the Union is a fundamental principle of the Federal Gov ernment ; that we should always cherish and uphold the American system of State sovereignty and the general government for general purposes only, and are unalter ably opposed to all attempts at centraliza tion or consolidation of p >wer io the hands of the general government, and nv re especially when such attempts are in the form ot u*urpa ion by any department of that government. 4 That w-e adhere firmly to the principle of maintaining perfeet independence be tween the co ordinate departments of the government, the legislative, executive and judicial, condemning all encroachments by the one upon the functions of the other. 5. While the fundamental law, as ex pressed in the Constitution, is necessarily paramount, until abrogated as prescribed by that instrument, all legislation is. in its nature and purposes, temporary, and sub ject to change, modification or repeal at the will of the maturity of the people, as expressed through the law making power, and that the pretense that any act of Con gress not executed, or any legis'ative policy of party is an absolute tin lity, is to tally inconsistent with the whole theory of government, and that it is the unquestion able right of the people, of themselves and through their representatives, at each suc cessive election and in each successive Congress, to judge what legislation is necessary, proper or appropriate to carry into execution or enforce the central powers, right and duties of the Federal Govern ment. 6. That as an instance of the eminently appropriate legislation under the fourteenth amendment we demand now of Congress universal amnesty. 7. That while we denounce all riotous combinations and conspiracies against law, or to disturb peace in the South or else where, we demand of all good citizens their utmost influence to put all such down. We also denounce the act commonly called the havonet bill, recently passed by Congress, and the more recent act commonly called the Ku Klux bill, extending by its terms P* any State, and enacted for no other purpose than to complete cenrrahza ion of all power in the hands ot the general govern.cent, and to establish a military despotism and,, thus to perpetuate the present administra tion without regard to the will of the people, as not only inconsistent with the whole theory and character of the Federal guv eminent, and as revolutionary and danger ous in their character, but are in direct conflict with the spirit anletter of the consiitution, including the amendments which they pretend to enforce. 8. That holding still to the good old Democratic doctrine of annexation or the acquisition of territory, we are yet totally opposed to the scheme of President Grant, to acquire St. Domingo as « job, and by the means and lor the purpose evidently in r tended. 9. That we are in iavor of a strietly revenue tariff conformed to the theory and principles of all other just and wise tax laws, and opposed to the protective theory, so-called. 10. That profligate corruption and wanton extravagance which pervade every department of the Federal government, sacrifice the interests of labor and aggran dize a handful of aristocrats, and are a wicked deprivation of the people us their rightful* heritage in public 'ands, which have been made gifts to railroads and other monopolists, paying more than twenty millions premium during the administra tion of President Grant, in government bonds payable at par, mi*it>ten»r ee at an annual cost to the pe pie of nearly thirty millions, and an unconstitutional, oppresive and extortionate system ot banking, whereby money is made scarce and interest hign, are übuses which call for wise and tboiuugb remedies. 11. That we are in favor of strict econo my ; of a large reduction of the expendi tures in the Federal and State governments ; of the collection, of internal menue by the Sa'e authorities, thereby returning to honest labor myriads of tax gatherers who afflict our land and eat up its substance, and of the speedy trial, conviction and punishment of the thieves who have stolen the tuxes paid by the people. 12. That while we reject repudiation we equally reject the proposition to pay the bondholders more than the contract with them demands; that if bondholder- have rights, so have tax-payers, a»>d we insist upon justice being done to both ; that the creditor is entitled to be paid in the same currency he loa'd to the government; that where he loaned greenbacks be should be paid in greenbacks, unless the contr*cts otherwise provide, and where he loand gold he should be paid in gold ; that to guard against a too great expansion green backs should be made convertible into three per cent bonds at the option of the note holders, said bonds to be redeemed in green backs on demand ; that the true method « f returning to specie payments is to make customs dues payable in legal tender cur rency, whether paper money or gold ; that such policy would secure uniform currency, stop gambling in g' Id, and thereby elevate the eerdit of the government 13. That with the watchword of reform we confidently give to the country, we be lieve the interests of the great body of the people are the same; that, without regard to political assoc ations, they are the friends of free government; that they ar»* equally hoto-st. brave and patriotic, and we appeal to them, as our brothers and countrymen, t * aid us to obtain relief from grievous abuses which wrong and.oppress every one except the wrong doers aud oppressors them elves. 14. Up- n the State issues, we resolve that we are in fav.»r of calling a convention as provided for by article 10th, section 8, of the State constitution. Trouble in the Kitilit-nl Camp in South Carolina—What hiked to Have II up*- pened! We find the following in the Chronicle and Sentinel of the llth inst,: The South Carolina Radicals are not pleased with Governor Scott's recent course. They charge that -he has sold out to the Democrats—that lie has removed good and faithful members of his own party fr m office to make rum for simon pure Democrats; that in many counties of the State the lives and property of toil men nave been placed in imminent peril by the i"flunceand power if Soft's Democratic office-holders, and that finally, and most intolerable to be borne, Gen. M. C. Butler, a distinguised Confederate officer and blood-thirsty rebel, actually controls the government of the State through his influence over Scott, who is in mortal fear of this unreconstructed rebel. Scott has taken a tour North, and in his absence, Ransier, the negro Lieutenant- Governor, has been active in fomenting dissatisfaction in the Radical ranks, and his chicanery went so far as the arragement of apian by which Scott should be deposed, and he promoted to his place. The plau was this ; Ransier, as Lieutenant-Governor, and, in Scott’s absence the acting Governor, ar ranged to call an extra session of the Leg islature. This was to be done on twenty four hours public notice, the faithful having been previously informed of the movement and induce! to lend it their support. A majority of the Legislature were hanging around Columbia and Charleston, where they have taken refuge since adjournment upon the plea that the? are afraid to return to their respective homes. As soon as this revolutionary body assembled they were to proceed at oriee to the impeachment of Scott, articles for which had been quietly and secretly prepared by Ransier and his co-conspirators. So careful had Ransier and his tools been, and so secretly had they conducted the whole nfFiir. die matter had actually progressed within twenty four hours of its development before any of Sett's friends stlsrectcd the trick. Unfortunately for Ransier and bis friends, by s -rne maens the plan reached the eat of Chamberlain, a friend of Scott, and who furnishes aM the brains for the party in the State and he set about at once to kill the plot. By dint of incessant working and of making great promises on behalf of Scott for his Julure good behavior towards his party—a few of R-msier’s strongest friends were induced to abandon the scheme. Theo there was a general withdrawal of the in surrectionary forces until in a few hours Ransier was left wirh but a corporal's guard and was forced for the present to abandon his de-ign of making himself Governor. Thus, by mere accident, Serit has been saved from the tender mercies of his friends and the people of the State the mortification and disgrace of having the gubernatioral chair filled by a worthless and rascally ne gr >. We congratu.ate them on their good luck. llol«enback .mil Loyd, ohaiged with the w.urder of Col. 0. W. Fish, had their trial at Oglethorpe.
