Iphe Atlanta Cou-litutianof the 29in-t., published <1 long end exceed!ugly (ntorenling letter from Ex- Governor Jenkins la Ms RxeelUocy Qorerner Smith, explaining his aSeiel Career while Governor of the Slots slid exposing the rilleinoue falsehoods of liul* lock ehoetthe finances of his ndrainuiraiioo. The letter is « noble vindication of Governor Jen kins’ ofificinl record end should he rrad, filed away, and Ipreseived by every true Geoi gian. Whi n wc reflect for a moment upon the crippled Condition ol the Plate, at the lime when Governor Jenkins assumed the Executive powers; that we had jnat emerged from the blighting, withering efTect of a bloody war of Tour years duration, with our soil ruthlessly laid waste and deaecra'ed by the sweep and trend of ~n nu, denting foe ; our property de spoiled ami our punlic wo ka and nstilnliona demol ished and destroyed ; we confess that we are at a loss to imagine how Governor Jenkins could have potni bly practiced tn b economy, as to only have in creased the public debt to $1,450,C00 pending his administration. The people of Georgia have renaon to be proud of her gallant son and once worthy servant <f their choice iu the mtuily dignified and patriotic, struggle lie had in resisting Federal tyranny and reconstruc tion ; for the honest di charge ot his duties to the people, and the foithful protection of the interest of lur loved old State. Below wo give the concluding remarks of hislet tcr which rings with the true metal and breathes pal rial ism in every sentence : The removal of the hooks anil papers was .imply a cautionary measere for my own protection. Not so with 'he seal.

Viwtt to Aufuntn. ’We have recently had the pleasure of a delight ful visit to Augusta, the pride of Georgia, and, in deed, the Queen City of tho cotton growing States. No one who has visited Augusta can have failed to admire the splendor of her buildings, the elo ganoe of their architecture, and the regularity and lieauty of the street*. Avery large amount of husineas ia transacted daily ill the place, and her merchants enjoy the enviable reputation of being live, honeut thorough and many of the Dry Good* Emporiums ere now welt stocked with new goods of tho latest styles and fashions, which are being sold at very reasonable prices. The grocery honsea are well supplied with everything in (heir line, and sales are everyday made at dose flgnres. Onr merchants are becoming convinced that goods nan be bought in Augusta upon ns reasonable terms asin Charleston or New York, and are fast turning their trade to this pluoo. Our shM notice would bo incomplete were we not to mention tile hotels. The Globe, Central and Mansion House, are good hotels, but the Planter’s stands among them "par excellence"- and justly enjoys tho reputation of being the very beet hi the city. Mr. Goldstein, the gentlemanly and courte ous proprietor, is a prince of hospitality, and is thoroughly versed in the hotel busiucas. The ur lianoolerk, Mr. Lee, can always bo found behind the •counter, over willing, ready and glad to do you a favor. The Planter's is elegantly illuminated with gas, the rooms neat and comfortable, and the aervanta polite and attentive. When you go to tho table, you find a bill of fare unsurpassed by Gist of any Southern hotel. Tho travelling public hove learn ed to appreciate the Planter’s, as evidenced by the large numbers of guests always on hand. It is in deed a rich treat to stop there, and we advise onr friends visiting Augusta to lie sure to give this house a call. Blodgett. —The Atlanta Constitu tion of yesterday says: There is no worse practical commentary on the Radical earpet-bag governments than that Scott, Governor of South Carolina, should harbor Blodgett against any le gal demand of Georgia authorities.— Hiding under Scott’s protection, Blod gett oooly parlies with our investiga ting committees, and demands terms, onder whose protection only he is to give**y testimony on the frauds. He demands immunity from arrest until Conley’s pardon shall run the ordeal of the court*. The committees offer to meet him at Newberry, South Carolina, he declines. Thus he dallies with justice under the eyes of Scott’s black protection, nod the law seems powerless. A graver mockery of civilired government was never seen. Thank God, it is an exclu sive illustration of Radical rule, aud its very infamy may teach a lesson for benefit hereafter, if not -ow. A Debt with a Vengeance. —For paying the balance of the indemnity of France to Prussia, it would require a daily subscription of $200,000 during eight years and four months, or SSOO,- 000 per diem during two years and one month, which is about the (Jslay grant ed by Germany, DisooverloN of thn J ll vestigu t inir Committee. This committee, whose notice we publish elsewhere, held a session in this city yesterday. The evidence elicited was relative to the transaction of Blod gett and other officials of the State Road in their steamboat investment. It will be remembered that Superintendant Hulbert purchased the steamers Mary Byrd and Resaca in 1869, the road ad vancing $21,000 in cash to the owners of the boats, and making a contract that this sum should be refun Jed in freight. It was clearly proven that the boats were not worth 813,000 The money was advanced prior to the final purchase, and when it became evident that the money never could be got out of the transaction in freights, the officials pur chased the boats. Small, the owner of the boats, prior to the time this sum of $21,000 was ad vanced upon them, had mortgaged them to a citizen of Knoxville. The boats, uft.er the sum was advanc ed and prior to their purchase, deterio rated in value, and Small being virtual ly bankrupt, the Superintendant was at his mercy. After the sale, Blodgett surperceded Hulbert as Superintendant, and immedi ately took the boats out of the hands of an old and efficient river man and put them into the hands of a man named Al exander, who was recommended to Blodgett by Horace Manard, Al exander, on his first trip, sunk the Mary Byrd in forty feet of water, above Bridgeport. She was a total loss to the road. The Rcsaca was shortly after taken to Decatur and sold to J. D. Hinds for $4,600 on a long credit, none of which has ever been or probably ever will be paid. After the purchase of these boats they were found to be heavily incumbered by liens of every kind, and numberless at tachment ensued ; in every case the State being worsted, and having to foot the bills. This probably is about as correct a history as will over be written ot the career of the ‘M«ry Byrd’ and ‘Resaca the purchase, repairing and running of which cost the State of Georgia about $40,000, and from which large outlay of money not one hundred dollars being returned.— Chattanoosn Times, 26 :h. Woman Suffrage in Massachusetts. —Again has the monster man ruthlessly crushed the tender bud of woman suf frage, ji/stns it was promising to blossom out and enchant the world ! To the progressive female mind there is some thing infinitely fiendish in the sport which the Massachusetts General Assem bly makes of this heart hungriness for the rapture of the hoi lot. The other day a committee reported favorably on subimttirjg_to popular a (ornate n>*f IXge amendment to the Constitution of Massachusetts. This raised the hopes of the friends of that measure to the empy rean ; but on the 21st inst. they were dashed to the ground by the malicious vote of tho House —nays 136, ays 77. Though the telegraph does not report the incident, no doubt low, djinouiac chuckles ran about tho House and rip pled on in the galleries, thus adding in sult to injury. And so, for this session, woman suffrage in Massachusetts is dis liosed of; and for one year more, if not onger, Utah will remain on exhibitiou as the only country where female suf frage and other curious ideas which somehow always get themselves mixed up with the great reform, will be exhi bited on the large working scale for the admiration and envy of those who regard them as the chief good. — N. Y. Journal of Commerce. The Cincinnati Convention. —The (Vow York Tribune thus defines tho com position and objects of this assem blage : The Convention to be held in Cincin nati on the first day of May is to boa Republican Convention. Neither the Grant nor the Democratic party can participate in its deliberations. The nominees will be Republican, and it will then be the province of the people to determine whether or not to elect them. No man’s vote, who may choose to give it, will or can be rejected. The inqui ry as to what may have been his views in the past will not be made. Although all Republicans favorable to the move ment are invited to attend, it is expect ed, of course, that the representatives of the different States will meet separate ly and determine for whom the vote of their respective States shall be giv en, as is the case in all Natioual Conven tions. This will put it out of the pow er of those who might contemplate mischief if it were simply a mass meet ing- Democratic Conference in Rich mond. —It is proposed to hold a private caucus of the Democratic leaners at Richmond, Va., some time during the coming mouth. The movement is be lieved to be in the interest of those fa vorable to a straight-out Democratic ticket for the Presidency. The result in New Hampshire has made the South ern and Western leaders doubtlul of the ‘backbone’ of the New England branch of the party, and this conference is only a combined effort toatiffeD it.— New York Comma^a!, Pmtnl Declslou. A Michigan paper publishes the fol lowing, which may be ol interest in other localities than that mention ed : ‘Quite and interesting decision, in volving the postage liability ts newspa per subscribers, has just been decided by the Department at Washington. A subscriber to an lonia coonty paper, re siding io Montcalm county, objected to paying postage tb?reqn*. alleging that as he recived the paper at Palo’ in lonia county, he was intitled to it free of postage. Postmaster Hal her decided tbit as he lived in another county from that in which the paper was published, he was liable for the .usual postage.— The question was finally laid before the Postoffice Department, and in a letter dated Febuary 24, the first assistant ’postmaster says .• ‘Donafide subscribers to weekly newspapers can receive the samt free of postage if they reside in the county in which the paper is print ed and published, even if the office to which tht paper is sent is without the county, pravided it is the office at which they regularly receive their mail mat ter.
