Death of John A. fiperty, E-q.
We are pained to learn that our old friend,
John A. Sperry, of Uarabalville, died at hia

Mr. Sperry was a native of Waterberry, Con

ortl Mnrnulej’N Antl-Democrnllr
Letter.
Tbs papers are rprod offing a letter written
in 1857 by Mr. Macauley to Hon. Henry S. Ran
dall, in acknowledgement of the receipt of a
copy of the “Life of Jefferson” then just pub
lished by that gentleman. Since that time,
popular theories have surged onward with tre
mendous impulses, and have thrown aside ev
ery qualification prescribed by Jeffereon him
self. Jefferson never favored universal suf
frage without distinction of race, oolor, previ
ous ocodition, or any qualifications for its dis
creet examine. But the advance so-called Dem
ocratic column of to-day ia ahead of the most
aggressive position of the wildest universal suf
fragist of flva year* ago, and we may aafely
prediet that in four yean from this Ume there
will be a numerous and well organized party '
the United States, clamoring not only for uni
versal suffrage without distinction of color
Mi, but for the abolition of property rights
and the subordination of eveiy private right
and interest to the will of the majority aa rep
resented by the Government. Nor, if we may
credit reports, ia the so-called advance lem
startling in England. In a word, the contro
versy foreshadowed in this letter is ^question
ably coming:
Hoixt Lodoz, KmantoTow.! London,
May *3, 1857.
Henry 8. ItandaU, E*q.:
Dean Sib : You are surprised to learn that
have not a high opinion of Mr. Jefferson, and
I am surprised at your surprise. I am certain
that I never wrote a line, and that I never, in
Parliament, in conversation, or even on the
hustings—a place where it is the fashion to
oonrt the popnlaoe—uttered a word indicating
an opinion that the supreme authority in a
State ought to bo intrusted to the majority of
citizens told by the head; in other words, tc
the poorest and most ignorant part of society.
I have long been ooovinoed that institutions
purely Democratic must, sooner or later, de
stroy liberty, or civilisation, or both.
In Europe, where the population is dense, the
effect of each institutions would be almost in
stantaneous. What happened lately in Franoe
is an example. In 1848 a pure Democracy was
established there. Daring's short time there
was reason to expect a general spoliation, a na
tional bankruptcy, a new partition of the soil,
a maximum of prices, a ruinous load of taxation
laid on the rich for the purpose of supporting
the poor in idleness. Such a system would in
twenty yean have made France as poor and
barbarous as France of the Carlovingians.
Happily the danger waa averted, and now there
is a despotism, a silent tribune, an enslavzd
press. Liberty is gone, but civilization has
been saved. 1 have not the smallest doubt that,
if we had a purely democratic government here,
the effect would be the same. Either the poor
would plunder the rieb, and civilization would
perish, or order and property would be saved
by e strong military government, and liberty
would perish.
You may think that your country enjoys an
exemption from these evils. I will frankly own
to you that I am of a very different opinion.—
Your fete I believe to be certain, though it ie
deferred by a physical cause. As long as you
have a boundless extent of fertile and unoocu-
pied land, roar laboring population will be far
more at case than the laboring popnlation of
tbo Old World; and while that is the case the
Jeffersonian policy may oontinue to exist witb-
ont earning any fatal calamity. Bat the time
will oome when New England will be as thickly
peopled as Old England. Wages will be as
low, and will fluctuate aa much with you as with
us. You will have your Manchester. and Bir
mingham*, and in those Manohesters and Bir
mingham! hundreds of thonsands of artisans
will assuredly be eometlmrs out of work. Then
your institutions will be If airly brought to the
test.
Distress everywhere makes the laborer mnti
nous and duoontented, and inclines him to lis
ten with eagerness to agitators who tell him that
it ia a monstrous iniquity that ono man should
havo a million while another caouot get a full
meaL In bad years there is plenty of grnnlbling
here, and sometimes a little rioting. But it
matters little. For here the sufferers are not the
rulers. The supreme power ie in the bends of
class, not numerous indeed, but select, of an edu
cated class, of a class which ia and knows itself
to be deeply interested in the security of prop
erty and the maintenance of order. Accordingly
the malcontents axe firmly yet gently restrained.
The bad time is got over withont robbing tho
wealthy to relieve the indigent. The springs of
national prosperty soon begin to flew again;
work is plentiful wages rise, and all is tran
quility and cheerfulness.
I have seen England pass three or four limes
through such critical seasons as I have de
scribed. Through such seasons the United
States will have to pass In the oourso of the
next century, if not of this. How will you pass
through them? I heartily wish you a good de
liverance. But my reason and my wishes are
at war, and I cannot help foreboding the worst.
It is quite plain that yonr government will
nevhr be able to restrain a distressed and dis'
oontented majority; for with you the majority
is the government, and has the rioh, who are
always a minority, absolutely at its meroy.—
The day will oome when, in the State of New
York, a multitude of people, none of whom has
more than half a breakfast, or expects to have
more then half a dinner, will choose a Legisla
ture. Is it possible to doubt what sort of Leg
islature will be chosen ?
On the one side ia a statesman preaching pa
tience, respect for vested rights, strict observ
ance of publio faith. On the other is a dema
gogue renting about the tyranny of capitalists
and usurers, and asking why anybody should be
permitted to drink champagne and to ride in a
carriage, while thousands of honest folks are in
want of necessaries. Which of the two candi
dates is likely to be preferred by a working
man who hears children cry for moro bread ?
I seriously apprehend that you will, in aome
such season of adversity as I have described, do
things which will prevent prosperity from r
turning; that you will act like people would i
ayeerof scarcity, devour all the seed corn, end
thus make the next year a year not of scarci’y
but of absolute famine. There will be, I fear,
spoliation. The spoliation will increase the dis
tress. The distress will produce fresh spolia
tion.
There is nothing to stay you. Your Const!
tution is all sail aud no anchor. Aa I said lie-
fore, when a society has entered on this down
ward progress, either civilisation or liberty must
perish. Either some Cmaar or Napoleon will
seize the reins of government with a strong
hand, or your republic will be as fearfnlly plun
dered and laid waste by barbarians in the twen
tieth oentnry as the Roman Empire waa in the
fifth; with this difference, that the Huns and
Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Empire, came
from without, end that your Huns and Vandals
will have been engendered within yonr ooantxy,
by your own institutions.
Thinking thus, of oouree I cannot reckon
Jeffereon among the benefactors of mankind.
I readily admit that his intentions were good
and his abilities considerable. Odious stories
hare been circulated about his private life, bnt
I do not know on what evidence those stories
net; and I think it probable they are false or
monstrously exaggerated. I have no donbt but
that I shall derive both pleasure end informa
tion from your aooonut of him.
I have the honor to be, dear air, yonr faithful
servant, T. B. Hacaunii.
The Western and Atlantic Canal.
The General Assembly of Georgia (aaya the
New York World of the 26tb) has represented
to Congress the desirability of a cheap and
itood means of oommnnioation between the
Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic seaboard, the
means proposed being a canal through Georgia
connecting tbo Tennessee and Coosa riven
with the Oooaa and the Oemnlgea. All possible
and probable advantages which are to accrue to
all sections of the Union are fnlly and perspic
uously put forth, and they are neither few nor
individually trifliuy. The lessening of the cost
of the transportation of prodaoe which has been
created by canal system of this and other States
hae been brought fully to bear on the proposi
tion and the cause of the memorial which pre
sents it. The forced conducting of all the
produce of Western industry, both mechanical
and l.ndnstrial, by the proposed route, the
safety of the way both -‘in war and
peace,” the fact that no ioe nor any effect of
rigorous winter can cause obstructions, and
every possible advantage—all these things are
used to have, ea they should have, a bearing on
th* question at issue. The real objection to
th* whole scheme is that the promulgators ilk
for it government aid. To aay nothing of what
the government ia at present doing in regard
to the Ku-klux, reconstruction, the prospective
obtaining of voice by force, and all those name
less “jobs” to which at present the United
States are committed, how ran the people of
Georgia expect to have their industrial affaire
attended to when the civil service has to be re
formed? At all times there are very palpable
objections to be foand against the asking of
government aid; and how supremely absurd
aueh asking at the present moment is, will pro
bably be seen by the results of this memorial
The “absurdity" will be leas apparent the
more the subjeot ia considered. When the
great producing States of the West find that by
this route their grain and meat will find an out
let to the Atlantic all the year round at leas than
half the present cost, they will cease to oonaider
this canal in the light of a Georgia improve
ment, and mo that they have far greater inter
est in it than this or any other Southern State.
It ia as important a national work as the Pa
cific Railroad, and rightly presented to the
country will combine the hearty co-operation of
least a majority of the States. It cannot too
*oon be urged upon the country, and if it faila
of Congressional sanction now, ia sure to re
ceive it at last. The memorial asks for a dona
tion of land or a loan of the credit of the Gov
ernment to the extent of ten millions.

It looks odd (says the Floridian) that Massa
chusetts should be quoted in justification
Southern opposition to carpet-baggers. But
such is the fad The people of that old oom
monwealth were ones made the victims of
carpet-bagger, and they protested lustily against
this outrage. Ia a document bearing date April
18,1069, and entitled, “The Declaration of the
Gentlemen, Merchants and Inhabitants of Bos
ton and the Country Adjacent,” they complain
that Sir Edmund Andros bad been brought from
New York to be their Governor, and they set
forth their grievance# after this manner:
“The Government waa no aooner in these
Hands, bnt ears was taken to load Preferments
upon each men as were strangera to and haters
of the people; and every one's obeervation bath
noted what qualifications recommended a Man
to publick offleee and Employments, only here
and there a good .Van waa used, when others
oould not easily be bed; the Governor himself,
with Assertions now and then felling from him
made us jealous that it would be thought for
his Majesties IntereU, if this People were re
moved end another succeeded in their room.—
Aud these far-fetched Instrument# that were
growing rich amouog us would gravely inform
us that it teas not for Jus Majesties interest that
tee should thrive.
But of all our oppressors we were chiefly
squeezed by a crew of abject Persona fetdoi
from New York, to be the Toola of the Adver
sary, standing at oar right hand; by these were
extraordinary and intolerable Fees extorted
from every one upon ell occasions, without any
Rule* bnt those of their own insatiable Avarice
and Beggary ; and even the probate of a Will
most now co t aa many pound* perils; a aa it did
ShCUngs heretofore: nor could a small volumo
contain the other Illegalities done by these llorse
Leeches in the two or three years that they have
been sucking of us. * * * Persons who did
but peaceably object against the raising of Taxes
withont an Assembly, have been for it fined,
some 90, some 80, some others 50 pounds.
Packt and pick! Juries have been very com
mon things among na. * * * Some have
been kept in long end close Imprisonment with
out any the least Information appearing against
them, or an Habeas Corpus allowed unto them.”
The protest was printed in pamphlet form
end no donbt had a general circulation among
the people of that day. In commenting upon it.
the Nashville Union and American says: The
carper-bagger as here pictured nearly two bun
dred years ago, is true to his instincts to-day. The
picture is so life-like that it seems to bare been
drawn for the Southern States in the light of the
past five years. The governments of the Southern
States were “no aooner in these hands, bat care
was taken to load preferments upon such men
as wore strangers to and haters of the people
end every one’s observation had noted what
qualifications recommended a man to public of
fices and employments; only here and there
good man was used when others oould not easily
be had.”

or Bteaueus to Livenroot.—Tho long agitated
project of a permanent tine of steamers direct
to Liverpool from the port, it would seem, is
about to be consummated. Mr. Mansergh, the

the Azores. The Darien ia an iron hnll steamer
of 1,200 tons burthen, and has a carrying ca
pacity of about 2,200. She will be succeeded
>y another vessel to be plaoed on the route, aud
which will probably arrive here in January.
These steamers are well adapted to the trade of
Savannah, being of tight draft, and bavin;
freight room for such a cargo aa can be carrier

i Jo. are the agents of the Darien.
We find these remarks oh the subject of
railroads, in the Augusts Constitutionalist of
Thursday. They express our views of the
situation exactly:
Bnt it is a subject of tenons apprehension
that there are too many railroads in the South
for the business. There is a mania for build
ing them, whether the population and produc
tions of the country require them or not.
There can be no doubt that the great interests
of the southern people would have been promo
ted if a considerable part of tho moneys of late
; rears invested in railroads had been embarked
in manufacturing enterprises. These wonld
have utilized labor, increased value?, create:
towns and villages, aud brought into existence
a great amount of solid and fixed capital be
longing to onr own people. Our railroads too
already bnilt, and those that the new wants of
ths country wonld have rendered desirable,
would have shared in the general prosperity,
through the increased freights and travel, that
such an employment of capital wonld have pro
duced. Railroads are desirable conveniences,
and within the bounds of the actual needs of
society for transportation, their construction
adds to the general wealth. But this may be
carried to excess, and become a source of em
barrassment. In view of fntmc enterprises, it
may not be amiss to examine the qntstion.eau-
tionsly. and “ hasten slowly.”

Thence it is expected to take the ease to the

The investiin* that have been made into
the affaire of' Brunswick and Albany rail
road of Georfoveal a deliberate conspiracy
to swindle the n yers of the State out of mil
lions of dollar!
The first of ; e !a granting State aid to the
road, passed iiqy, provided that aa fast as
every ten miletbid be completed the Com
pany might prefits bonds to the State Treas
urer, who ahonltoe the State’s endorsement
on them. Unfnately for the schemes of
Bullock, howevUie Treasurer, Dr. Angier,
was a man who Id not be induced to lend
himself to the pfees of the the conspirators,
and so, in 1870, ock’s subservient Legisla
ture passed a ecj aot providing that the
bonds of the com; should be presented to the
Governor, insteif the Treasurer, for en
dorsement. Undevcr of the act of 1370 Bul
lock baa endorsc#d issued bonds lavishly,
not only in violate the Constitntion of the
State, bnt also relation of the provisions of
the very acts past by the efforts of the con
spirators. Under t} C >rcni£Stanc< b :t becomes
a question whether state is legally respon

Intimidation. —To has redly been only
one kind of intimitjn in tho South since the
war, and that ia of« kind mentioned in the
following paragraplom the Floridian of the
2CQi instant It is,never, of no avail to call
the attention of therernment to this kind of
intimidation. It hieen the steady effort of
the Radicals to enrage this intimidation
where it exists, and set it afoot wherever it
has not been develop if there be any snch
place in the Southenfitos:
SnaMEFUD and Ocgeous.—The Radicals,
mostly colored, held oeetting in the Court
house the evening bet the election, with Mr.
Edwards in the ohair.'eter Hall, a qniet and
peaceable oolored mi was called on for a
speech after several era bad norated. He
got np very qnietly anold the meeetiog that
he was a Democrat anuve bis reasons for be
ing one. U the dovil iself had been turned
loose in the room he Cd not bavd created a
greater commotion thaxis announcement pro
duced. Peter was deqiced and threatened,
and men crowded sromtim in menacing atti
tudes as if ready and cions to tear him in
pieoes. He was actnalstrnck by some one
and had to be harried fa the room for safety.
We honestly believe tbif he had remained,
he wonld hare been soosly injured if not
killed.
Waemiko Rzilwzt Ci.—The introduction
of a new method of waing railway cars, on
gome of the French and rman lines, has been
attended with gratifyin|nccess. A prepara
tion of wood, charcoal, rate of potash, and
starch is employed. Atwt the charcoal was
bnrnt in perforated box two feet long, four
and onc-hzlf inches widand two ana three-
fourths inches deep. Itts soon found, how.
ever, that this combos! ioeaused violent head
aches, and the charcoal z therefore put into
dose iron boxes, ptseenuder the seats, a
double top being emplojSo prevent the seats
of tho cars from beeomiitoo hot. The pre
pared charcoal ia packed the boxes in pieces
fonr inches long, three ihes wide, and two
inchos thick. On the lintetween Aix-la Cha-
pelle and Berlin, eight pits of charcoal were
rued for heating a comprrtmt. This quantity
efficiently warmed the err ring sixteen hoars,
and at the end of the jonrn, the fuel was still
fu&eral notice.
The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs*

members of the police force, and to the citizens
(both white and colored.) of Macon for tho timely

throughout manifested a most kindly feeling, as
sisting us in removing our goods from the bnilding

prevent the more ma'iriously inclined from stealing
and appropriating them to their own nee. The fire
men labored with almost superhuman exertions;
the police foice watched and superintended every
thing with their characteristic care and vigilence;
■ml the freedmen rendered invaluable assistance
both in their efforts to assist in subduing the flzmes
and in removing onr effects beyond danger. With
feelings of the warmest and most heartfelt grati
tude, we thank them all for tho kindness shown us

It is asserted that efforts have recently been
made to induce the Administratiiti to interfere
in the affairs of Georgia, to the ezd that the re
cently elected Denroeratio Goverior might be
prevented from taking the Gubernatorial chair.
The Georgia Radicals are rash enough to believe
that in the fere of the coming Presidettial elec
tion General Grant wonld be unwise ezongb to
endanger hia chances for re-election by such a
flagrant outrage as they would have him commit,
but, however much be may have been inclined

Gun*—About 3 p. at yesterday, George Prr-
ker went to his brass foundry. No. 23 Hirer
street, Newark, N. J., and saw that the froat
door had been broken open, apparently by
bur glare. He immediately informed the police,
end detectives were sent to investigate ths
esse. On entering the establishment a handle
of plunder was found, and the dead body of a
burglar beside it on tho floor. Several robber-
ries had been perpetrated at this foundry pre
viously, and the proprietor had arranged
spring gun with a string attached to the trigger
passing along one side of the building. Tne
burglar in searching for plunder bad evidently
come in contact with the string, and received
the contents of the gun in his left loin. His
name ia William Healey, e notorious thief,
who had served terms in the State Prison and
in the County JaiL He lived within a few
doors of the foundry.—.V. Y. tribune Dec. 2f
A Lccisvnxx Harz of thz Lock —An affect
ing story comes from Louisville to the following
effect: Two beautiful young ladies of aristo
cratic appearance were standing on the corner
of Broadway and Fourth streets about 3 o’clock
Friday afternoon, waiting for a ear. One was
on a shopping expedition, and the other waiting
to see her off. The car came np and stooped
for the passenger, who turned to her friend to
give the usual goodbye kiss, when by some
means her arms became entangled in the curls
of her friend, and just as she was tearing her
self away, down came a hags blonde wig, fell
ing with its mas* of rich and shining curia and
crimps at their feet, end revealing a head of
short, dark hair, rolled np in a tittle knot be
hind, and arranged to accommodate the decep
tive wig. ^
Tms ia a description of a terrible infant in
Fentress county, Tennessee: ‘-The prodigy is
only three year* old, and weighs seventy-five
pounds, has as much beard as a twenty year
old, his feet are eight inches long, though small
for one of his build; he is fond of the society
of girts, but the bojs he detests. Hia voice is
coarse, and his fits of passion are terrific.”
A minister lecturing in East Boston recently,
suddenly remembered that he had agreed to
marry a couple at that very time. He stopped
his lecture for fifteen minutes, fulfilled his
agreement, married the happy couple, and re
turning finished his lecture.
As thz passengers were preparing to leave
their neats on the arrival of the New York train
Boston the other evening, an old gentleman
picked np a dark object which appeared to drop
a from a lady’* bonnet. “Madam, is thl* you*?
You appear to have dropped it by accident.”
“Inns you, air," (placing her hand to her
heed)—“a railroad accident—a misplaced
switch."

BE LIABILITY and EXCELLENCE. Experience
