Tac GubEKNITOIUAI. “QUESTION."—The fol
lowing ia the form of Judge Room's resolution
passed by the Senate on Friday:
Resolved by the Benate and House of Repre-
sentativM in General Assembly met, If any con
tent should arise between the person elected by
the people to fill the vacancy created by the res
ignation of ltnfoa B. Bullock, and the lion.
Benjamin Conley now execotlog the duties of
the Executive Department of llie Htate Gov-
emment as to the right to exercise snch duties
and fill said vacancy, or lietwoen any other per-
son claiming the right to exercise the duties of
said Executive Department and Hon. Benjamin
Conley, now exercising the duties aforesaid,
such contest thonld be decided by the legal tri
bunals of tho Htat*, and that the decision be
conclusive on the parties to such contest and
h# respected and obeyed by the people of this
Slate. ^
Honr It In to lip I*ut Tlirougli.
The Washington Republican, which ia the
apeoial organ of the President, says that it will
require not leas than 10,000 regular troops judi
ciously distributed through the Bonth to insure
a free and fair election in 1B72, and that it may
b* nooaaanry for Congress to increase the army.
Whereupon the New York Hun says this ia bnt
one of numerous indications that Grant intends
to fore* his re-eleotion by placing the whole
Bonth wider bayonet rule should he receive the
Republican nomination. Bneh a method of in
suring a free and fair election certainly de
serves the orodit of originality. It was only
equalled by the ingenuity of tho Ethiopian pres
ent-inker, who relates his experienoo in one of
the negro minstrel halls. “Pouipey, whir yon
get dat watch?" “A mangub it to me." “Gob
U to you for nnffln ?" “Tea—bnt I had tojknock
him down free or four time* before he’d do it.”
If Grant rnna for President in 1872 he ia de
termined to hare a free and fair election, even
if it should be neoeeeary to bayonet every man
in tho Southern Stales who opposes him. \Vhat
would bo deemed a free and fair election by a
man who haa used United States troops and
Gatling guns to oontrol the action of a Repub
lican Convention at New Orleans may he easily
imagined.—Floridian.
Tbit Coiscimrac*.—It ia wall worth remem
bering. It waa a remarkable coincidence. May
22, 1669. Niuety-aaren acres of land in Cook
county, Illinois. Chioago ia in Cook county.
It is quite probable that land in Cook county,
or any other county, near Chioago is very val
uable. Joseph U. Jones and wile to Ulymes S.
Grant. Joseph R. Jones appointed, on the 22d
of May, 1869, by the President, of the United
States, Minister Resident of the United States
at the Court of Bnueel*. Oo that day the deed
for the ninety-seven acres of Cook county land
waa made by Joseph K. Jones and wife to Ulys
ses S. Grant fur the nominal consideration of
one dollar. On that same day the President of
tho United States, whose name ia Ulysses S.
Grant, appointed one Jones, one Joseph It.
Jones, Minister to Belgium. A remarkable co
incidence. In brief, “How ia that for high ?”
A Otoaiora Yocno Woman.—If long hair be
the gtoy of woman, then there ia a glorious
young lady in Bouton. She waa persuaded the
other day to give a private exhibition of her
beautiful hand of long and heavy black hair.
Her htght is five feet three inches, and when
she ia standing erect her hair falls to her feet,
and trails a quarter of a yard on the floor. It
ia 73 inches in length. Here, indeed, ia a fa
vored young person: No need haa she of chig
nons, nor of braid*, nor of fronts, nor of trioo-
pherous compounds; and Eve herself, the primal
and perfect woman nobly planned, had proba
bly no greater wealth of tangled charms. Die
carding all moral principle, we are tempted to
lapM into the meanest kind of pun, and to pro-
nounoe this Boston beauty the greatest kairtas
In America. _
Model Eitino Hooaaa.—Meaara. Willis Clay
of Jessup, No. <: Atlantic and Snlr Railroad, and
J. W. Hardwick, who keeps the dinner bouse at
No. 12 Central railroad, deserve each, the pat
ronage of all who travel their respective routes.
Bountiful tables supplied with game, andall the

Nomdt'i Fobtcne.—Brown A Co., have juat

A I'nlform Rate or Freight on nil
Rnllronds.
A bill haa been introduced into the lower
Honse of the Legislature to provide for the en
forcement of a uniform tariff of freight charges
on all the railroads of the State. This would
be desirable, if practicable, bnt any Jaws inter
fering with trade, or of a sumptuary character,
are a direct encroachment npon private rights,
and invariably remit in mischief. As well at-
tempt to fix the value of the planter'a corn or
cotton, or seek by arbitrary enactment to de
fine the price of gold and silver. These are
questions that regulate themselves by the prin
ciples of rapply and demand, and the postu
tales of political economy, just as water will
seek its natural level.
The author of tba project mean* well, bnt
has not considered that practioally it would
operate very unequally, and therefore, disas
trcmaly npon many railroad companies. The
power of monopolies would be augmented there
by, for if the tariff was very loir, the weaker
companies would succumb under it, and
placed at a high standard, then the stronger
would only become still stronger, and better
able to build, or buy oat competing line*. Bat
what justice would there be in affixing the
same rates upon two road*, one of which oo*t
ten time* more than the other, aod require*
twice or thrice the annual expenditure to keep
it in repair.
We repeat, tba maxims of free trade alone
should obtain in (he promisee, and auoh sub
ject* are not matter* of ligitimate legislation.
“The world ia governed too much."
Tho lanry law.
We are sorry to see that tb* bill repealing
the usury laws was indefinitely poat]>ooed on
Friday in th* Ilonse, by a vote of 81 to r,.
The attachment to them forlorn relics of bar
barism is to ua a wonderful and inoomprehensi
ble fact. On every photoeophical principle, in
the first place, money like every other mer
chandise should be left to adjust its own price
under the laws of supply and demand, and there
is no more reeeon for fixing its value by law
than for attempting to establish the value of
eorn, cotton and bagging in the same way.
Secondly, the attempt to rognlalo it in that way i*
a total failure. The law naya seven per cent.,
bnt even every law giver violates it, and (he
rates of interest in commercial transactions in
Georgia vary everyday from eight to thirty per
cent., and are ao quoted in all the papers. It
will be safe to eay that the law is invariably and
totally disregarded. Fray tell ns, then, where
the use of it? and what other effect has the law
than merely to embarrass transactions in money
—bring State authority into contempt—obstruct
the influx of external capital into Georgia, and
ao add to the prioe by diminishing competition?
We trust the Georgia Legislature will get out of
that rut, after awhile.
A Protest Against the ‘•Tmwum”
Policy.
We find the following earnest protest against
the adoption of the passive or 'possum policy
—as somebody has wittily termed it—by the
National Democratic party next year, in that
ever faithful Democratic journal, the Boston
Poet. Bay* the Post:
It is not progress and growth for the party
which is the inspiring motive of tho peaaiv6 pro
position. ao mnch as it is a gambling fondness
for change, a trafficking attachment to both the
party and its great principle*, and a timid and
oonfuned calculation of chances that pays far
more regard to the personal profit than the
popular advantage. Any politician of ordinary
penetration must understand that a negative
position for a great parly ia sure disintegration
and death. Defeat outright could not bring on
the catastrophe so suddenly. It would be a
general disbanding without even the usual con
dition of external compulsion. Whether weak
ness or treachery, false judgment* or cool de
sign, the result would be no less thorough and
complete. Genuine, progressive Democrats,
determined on an expansion of the party doc
trines and methods to the utmost limit* of lib
eralism, lint resolved to protect their faith as
their only footing in the general confusion,
honestly believe that the liberal element of Re
publicanism can be bronght into co operative
position witbont making this confession that
they must hide their prinetptee in order to vin
dicate them. Bnppoaing the proposed scheme
of passivism to bo possible of success, it still
remains to be shown in what way the Democratic
creed has been liberalized or what new guarantee
of its operation in (he Government it will have
received. To win a triumph for a cause liy re
fusing to mention the cause, is ao idle as a pro
position as not to make it neoeasary to attempt
it as an experiment
Martini I-atv Movable.
Says the St. Louis Republican, the example
of the administration in being so careless as to
pnt the wrong oonnty in the first proclamation
of martial law in Bonth Carolina ia having its
effect on the United States' military there.
They would seem to think that they carry mar
tial law as a handy thing, in their pockets, or
that it is lying around loose all over the coun
try, to be picked up end used by them when
ever convenient. Among the instructive inoi
dents of the new “rebellion'' are the raids made
from York oonnty into the neighboring State
of North Carolina by Major Merrill's boras to
arrest in that State, without warrant, alleged
Kn-klnx who have fled into it to avoid the
reign of terror near their homes. A number of
such refugees were thns kidnapped in Cleve
land oonnty, North Carolina, carried to York-
villc, end there impnsioned. On another oc
casion a gang of these lawless troopers name
into the town of Shelby, the oonnty seat of
Cleveland, in the night line, in such a disor
derly manner that the inhabitants became
panic-stricken, many fleeing into the woods in
their night olotbes, and remaining there until
the military rowdies left, without finding any
of the parties they pretended to be in aearob of.
The people of both the Carolina* are thns
enjoying the blessings of an administration
which gives them the “equal protection of the
laws.” And yet they are not happy!
Important Knllroart Movement.
It ia reported on good authority that a move
ment is nearly completed to result in the estab
lishment of a direct line of railway communi
cation from Louisville and tho Ohio river
to the South Atiantio seaboard, with steam
facilitiM to Europe. The Louisville and Nash-
villa Company and the Nashville and Decatur
Company were sometime since consolidated.
The Bonth and North Road, of Alabama, baa
likewise passed under (he oontrol of the same
parties, giving them a direct line already from
Louisville to Montgomery. They are now in
treaty for a 1mm of the Montgomery and En-
fanla and the Brunswick and Albany railroads,
which will give them a direct and commons
line of railway communication to Savannah and
Brunswick by far the shortest and easiest of
from all the interior town* to tho seaboard.
The leasee* have abundant means to build
whatever portion of the connection that ia in
complete to make their combination one of the
most powerful and remunerative railway enter
prises in the oonntry. The leading spirits in
the enterprise are men controlling vast capital,
and of wide experience in similar undertakings.
The combination will control, on it* comple
tion, more than one tnonsand miles of railway,
a power sufficient to wield important influence
in the material progress of the Sooth.
The above information, whieh we cut from
the AtlanU Constitution, came in briefer shape
by the telegrams in our last edition. We hope
daw* 4 Co. may redeem their fortunes by
une snch project.
Tease You.—The Democrats of Georgia
ought to b* under great obligations to the At
lanU Era of yesterday, for ita great liberality in
the matter of advice. Speaking of the election
bill, it says:
And now that the bill haa passed—unconsti-
tntional and impolitic as we still believe it to
be—it is for the present law, and must be
obeyed until set aside by a competent tribunal.
There remains but one way, outside the law
courts, to prevent the mischiefs which are ap
prehended from it The State Democratic Con
vention, which assembles here in a few days to
nominate a candidate for Governor, can decide
to make no nomination and hold no election.
The act as passed is not mandatory, bnt per
missive; and hence the issue still rest* for set
tlement abort of tedious and expensive litiga-
Could anything be more generous ? We are
glad to see, however, that the Era has backed
down from Ua position of advocating open re
bellion against the will of the people in the
event—now one of the certainties—that they
elected and inaugurated their oandidato far
Governor, as witness the following from the

a member of the Methodist church, and a most

that a more estimable woman, or one more use-
