True Georgian.
The Bard, (late of Idaho.) of At
lanta, no longer fills the atmosphere
of that city with his melody. lie
shipped his effects and left the typos
of the Georgian to attach the office
for their dues. The latest accounts
are that he is trying to purchase the
Savannah Republican, and run it as
an administration organ
Por Governor.
Let no one be uneasy that there will
be no candidates for the Gubernato
rial chair during the unexpired term
of the bovine. The names of Hr.
Angier, Judge Worrill, Gen. Colquitt,
Gen. Gordon, Gen. Wofford, Hon. A.
H. Nunnally, Hon C. B. Wooten,
lion. M. A. Can Her, Hon. James M.
Smith, and others have been suggest
ed. Among so many able and effi
cient candidates we hope a judicious
selection will be made. We need the
right kind of a Governor to assist
and enable the Legislature to bring
about reform.
Killing of Yules.
Our readers will remember that
some of the Mormon Saints have been
arrested for the murder of Yates.
The following is the history of the
murder: “Yates visited the Mormon
camp during the rebellion in 1857,
ostensibly to sell powder. The Mor
mons regarded him as a spy, and
some weeks afterward arrested him
and placed him in the custody of
Hickman, at Salt Lake. H. Wells
then commanded the Mormon troops
and Hosea Stoutwas Judge Advocate.
On the way to Salt Lake Hickman
killed Yates, as he says, by orders
from Brigham and Joseph A. Young,
and at the instigation of Wells and
Stout. Hickman is confined now at
Camp Doughlass. He went with the
officers to Rhoda Canon, and after
pointing out the spot where he had
buried Yates assisted in disinterring
the remains.”
Conley’s Message.
lion. Benjamin Conley, exercising
the powers of Governor, submitted
to the Legislature, on the 3d inst., a
very lengthy message, setting forth
his views and opinions as to the
proper course and subjects of legisla
tion. Our limited space forbidding
the full publication of it, we will
merely give an epitome. He thought
we have had enough wrangling and
strife. Hoped that every class of
persons would so shape their conduct
that there may be no reason for any
declaration of martial law, any sus
pension of habeas corpus , or, further
reconstruction. Had nothing to say
about a special election. He prom
ises retrenchment. Could not tell
of the disposition of the State Bonds.
Who can? Urges an investigation
into the matter and promises his aid.
Wants free education but is opposed
to mixed schools. He urges that the
States’s pecuniary faith be kept in
violable. The message coming from
an uncompromising Radical is quite
moderate and conciliatory, and con
tains some commendable suggestions.
Gcorglu Legislature.
We gave in our last issue, the mere
organization of the Legislature.. We
will from week to week give our
readers the benefit af a brief summary
of the acts of this body. It has
commenced work with an industry
and interest that seems like business.
It recognized Conley as exercising
the Executive powers of the govern
ment. A Bill has been introduced
and passed the House, providing for
a special election in December. Bills
to- reduce the per diem of members
have been introduced. The House
adopted a resolution denouncing Bul
lock’s assertion that there had been
a combination on the part of the
Legislature to impeach him. Much
matter has been introduced for the
consideration of tne body. # The Ku*
Rlux bill is spoken of by the Atlanta
papers as being one of the greatest
importance. If space will admit we
will publish it in our next issue. The
Senate has repealed the usury law and
the act organizing the District Courts.
Railroad Meeting.
Information having been received
that a bill would soon be introduced
into the Legislature for the purpose
of obtaining a charter for a railroad
from Macon by the way of Thomas
ton and Chalybeate Springs and to
connect with some road west of this
point, a meeting was held to get the
sentiments of the people. The spirit
of the meeting was favorable to the
road being chartered. We are kindly
disposed to both the Central and the
Macon and Western roads, but are
much opposed to monopolies. Be
fore the building of the Macon and
Brunswick road the Central road
monopolized all freight transportation
from the south and southwest portion
of the State. Parties were required
to go to the depot in East Macon and
receipt for freight and hall it them
selves to their stores. When the
Macon and Brunswick road was built
♦he Central purchased drays and de
livered freight at the stores at the
same rates they had formerly deliver
ed them at the depot. The Macon
and Western now have the monopoly
in their hands and we think the
building of a road through this sec
tion would destroy all monopoly.
We would be glad the charter could
be obtained and the road built.
Much benefit would result to a vast
scope of fertile country traversed by
the clear waters of the Flint. f lhe
spirit of the meeting was decidedly
in favor of the charter, and we hope
our able Representative will contrib
ute all in his power to obtain it, pro
vided that no part of Upson shall be
cut off to form anew county.
Barnesville has for two or three years
been exerting herself to have anew
county formed from the adjoining
counties merely because she wishes
to be a county sight. We wish it
distinctly understood that we are
unwilling for any portion of Upson
to be cut off unless somebody would
be more benefited than we now see.
The following are the resolutions
passed :
Resolved , That we, the citizens of Upson
county, do approve of the measure proposed
to be brought before the Legislature of
Georgia, for grant of a Charter to build a
Railroad direct from Macon by way of
Thorraston and Chalybeate Springs to West
Point, and do recommend that our Repre
sentative, lion. John I. Hall, support the
measure if it comes up before the Legis
lature. Also, the following resolution
presented by Judge Sharman, was unani
mously passed a’d adopted.
Resolved, That we, the people of Upson
county, do most respectfully request and
urge upon our Representative in the Gen
eral Assembly, to tis* his utmost influence
against any part or parcel of Upsor. county
being cut off and added to any other county
or its boundaries being changed so as to
lose one font of land and the Secretary of
this meeting forward this resolution at once
to our Representative, lion. John I. Hall.
Squandering,
The mania for squandering tlie
peoples’ money is not confined alone
to the Southern States. The Maine
Standard of the 3d inst., raises a
complaint against Governor Perham
ft r unwarrented expenditure, of pub
lie money. This official, character
istic of every Radical Governor, has
put his fingers into the State Treasury
and drawn therefrom eight or ten
thousand dollars to aid in the cele
bration of the completion of a private
railway enterprise, or rather to do
honor to the national executive.
The President being invited to be
present at the opening of the road
to public travel, Gov. Perham goes
to much unnecessary expense in au
thorizing ten militia companies to be
present, and detailing special guards
to escort the President, which are to
be paid from the State money. By
the time the many railroads now in
process of construction, are completed
and the celebration of such completion
costs the different States from ten to
twenty thousand dollars, merely to
boot-lick and do honor to the Presi
dent, the Treasuries will look rather
scanty and the people feel the great
burden of taxation. The increased
indebtedness under the Radical rule
is estimated by a writer in the Patriot
at $226,947,711. A single county
in Texas, a few days since, was fined
$40,000 to defray the expense of an
uncalled for military occupation.
Bullock fled from impeachment and
accountability for having squandered
quantities of the peoples r money.
Think of it and consider for your
selves what mast be the future condi
tion of both State and general
governments wttliout a chahge of
administration.
Our acting Governor, in his mes
sage says, “we must economise in
such ways as to do justice to the tax
payers, and restore popular confidence
in the government. We sincerely
hope he will carry his theory into
practice, and let the oppressions,
caused by the lavish expenditures of
our State administration, no longer
burden the people.
Thanksgiving.
Thursday the 23d of November,
has been designated by the Presi
dent’s proclamation as a day of
general thanksgiving.
OBITUARY.
Died at his residence in Peasant Hill,
Talbot cunty, Ga., August 1, 1871, Dr.
Bt.xke I). BreW'Tek, in the sixty-fourth
year of his age ; a nmn of noble qualities,
generous disposition and cultivated intel
lect. As husband, lather, brother, friend,
none will Jeave a more desirable name.
His attainments and success in bis profes
sion are too widely known arid aekn<>w lt*dg
ed to need reference here, save the one
filing needful, ho stood preeminent among
those we have known and loved ; and dis
ease, that frequent, blessing in disguise,
revealed to him the beauty and truth of
holiness, and the priceless value of the
soul. Two weeks before his death, he em
braced religion, was baptized and his name
recorded as a member of the Presbyterian
church at Bellevue. llis first words after
baptism were, “I feel as if I was entering
the Temple.” Oh 1 beautiful utterance !
Oh ! grand conception ! Shall we ever for
get it ?
With deep regret in his countenance he
w<>uld say I came to the Lord, old and
steeped in sin ; I have trampled on his
choicest blessings, and he has not cast me
off” Here, with a radiant glorious look,
he would sav, “Bles.-ed be his holy name
forever;” ‘ Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.” Soothed by the sweet expeiiences of
faith, “he loaned his head on Jesus’ breast,
and breathed his life out sweetly thdFe.”
Oh ! dead ! That manlv form
No more shall rise to cheer oar sight;
But far from life’s tempestuous storm,
It rises clad in heavenly light.
"The music of his voice is low,
He'll come to us no more no more;
Praise God that ice to him can go
Through mercy’s ever open door.
His feet have marked a shining way
Up to t-r.e portals of the .-ky;
It points us from the earth away
Where priceless treasures He.
He’s co heir to the glorious land,
He viewed from Pisgah’s height;
And brother to the radiant band,
Seraphic sons of light.
Soft he thy slumbers, sainted dead;
The grave, our Savior blest;
Say, “ > here, hut with the dying head
Should dying members rest.”
Around thy name fond memories meet,
Thy virtues in our bosoms lie
Embalmed, and breath fragrance sweet
To lit us for a home on high.
To thea r we will not say farewell;
We'er pressing on to meet thee ;
It may he soon ; ah ! who can tell
The happy day we’ll yreet thee.
