Wednesday Morning, December 27, 1871.
Public Acts.—In this issue we
complete the publication of a full and
correct list of Acts passed by the Leg
islature. We copy from the Atlanta
Sun. The whole number of Acts pass
ed are 220, mostly local in their char
acter.
COL. II, P. FARROW AND RCLLOCIi'S
. ADMINISTRATION.
A letter from Col. Farrow appeared
in the Atlanta Constitution ot the 23d
inst., which contains many important
disclosures. In this letter Farrow char
acterizes Bullock’s administration as
shameful and dishonest, and says the
Republican party was not responsible
for it. If the Republican party was not
responsible for Bullock’s administra
tion, Col. Farrow certaiuly is responsi
ble. He was Bullock’s Attorney-
General, appointed by Bullock himself.
He was paid a salary by the people of
Georgia for the purpose of giving Bul
lock advice. If Bullock followed his
advice, then is Col. Farrow res
ponsible for all the mischief that Bul
lock has done in Georgia. But if ,Bul-
lock refused to follow his advice, then
is Col. Farrow a mean and dishonest
man for holding on to his office and re
ceiving pay from the people, when he
knew Bullock would not follow his
advice ; and he was getting pay from
the people without rendering them
any service. But as Bullock retained
him in office as long as he remained in
the State, and in addition to his office
of Attorney General, gave him another
very nice office as Attorney for the
State Road, which he held at a large
salary long after the road was leased,
and went out of the hands of the State
—in other words long after there was
any duties to perform ; we must be
lieve there was the most cordial and
intimate understanding between him
and Bullock until the day when Bul
lock ran away ; consequently Farrow
was more closely connected with all of
Bullock’s rascality than any other man
in Georgia. He is also responsible for
much of Blodgett’s rascality—as he
was the Attorney for the State Road,
and was Blodgett’s legal adviser in all
things, and until the day when Bul
lock left the State, and did not have
any more fat offices to bestow on Far
row, did Farrow expose any of Bul
lock’s shameful doings ? He, if we
mistake not, was one of those who went
on to Washington City with Bullock
to endeavor to prop up Bullock’s ad
ministration and induce Congress to pro
long Bullock’s shameful administra
tion. It was on one of these excursions
to Washington, plotting against the
rights and liberties of the people of
Georgia, that Dr. Sam Bard wished
they might perish by the wayside, and
for which wish Farrow' threatened the
life of Bard, and pretended he was
about to break the peace of Atlanta.
What Farrow8»ys about some Dem
ocrats helping Bullock in his dishon
est schemes, may or may not be true.
If Col. Farrow knew these things to
be true, it was his duty to expose
them. There have been suspicious
that Bullock bribed some Democrats
to vote for State aid to the Brunswick
& Albany R. R. and for the purchase
of the Bullock-Kimbal! Opera House.
If Col. Farrow knew' of these facts, it
was and is his duty to expose them
and hava the culprits brought to jus
tice. But the Colonel’s character for
truth and veracity is so very delicate
and sensitive that his charge is equal
to a true bill found by a Grand Jury.
Let him name these dishonest men and
the Democratic party will punish them
as they deserve.
Retrenchment and Reform in
Congress.—There has been a fierce
war in the U. S. Senate over Mr.
Trumbull’s resolution to appoint a
committee to enquire into all thefrauds
and corruption of the civil service.
Morton and Conklin, and all of the es
pecial friends of Grant’s administra
tion immediately took the alarm. Of
course any one who proposed to inves
tigate official corruption must be an
enemy to Gen. Grant and to the Rad
ical party ; »o they reasoned, and so
reason we ; for Radicalism and corrup
tion are synonymous, and the opposi
tion which Giant’s friends in the Sen
ate made to this investigation was a vir
tual acknowledgement of the corrup
tion of their party, and that they fear
ed the committee would expose their
corruption. But the pressure was so
hard upon them that in caucus they
resolved to have a committee, and let
Anthony appoint only such on the
committee as were oppoied to inves
tigation, and thus defeat the whole
object of the investigation. This
dodge brought out Sumner, who
scored Anthony severely for appoint
ing men on a committee of investiga
tion when every one but one had
voted against any investigation.
Foster Blodgett forfeited his bond
to appear last week to answer to a
charge of cheating and swindling the
State while Superintendent of the
State Road. Blodgett, it is said, after
failing to fasten his roguish self upon
the Senate, went North, and it is be
lieved will not return to the State un
less brought back. A search warrant
has been issued for his arrest-
For the Federal Uniou. |
THE SOUTHERN .TIAGtZINE.
BY W. G. MACADOO.
Among the remarkable phenomenal
presented to our view as results of the |
War in the Southern States, none is j
more striking than the impulse impart- j
ed to literary production. We may
safel v assert that more has been done |
since the commencement of the War
to build, up a real Southern Literature
than was done in ail the period prece
ding it.
We do not purpose to speak of the
proximate causes. Some of them are
disagreeable to contemplate. But we
are justly proud of the result. At the
present rate of progress very soon
Southern authors will occupy that po
sition in national literatare which
Southern Statesmen occupied in Na
tional politics at the beginning of the
present century. Northern rivalry
northern sneers, and northern preju
dice, will hasten rather than retard
the result. A glance over the pages of
those two caskets of Southern liters
ture—“Ida Raymond’s” “Living F<
male Writers of the South” and Prof.
Davidson’s “ Living Writers of the
South” will reveal how able and ex
tensive is Southern effort in this di
rection. And from the great publish
ing houses are emanating constantly
Southern books, many of them of a
high order of merit.
The Magazine literature of the
South is equally active and no les:
able. We have before us the Decern
ber number of one of these Magazines
to wffiich we would solicit especial at
tention.
The Southern Magazine is published
monthly at 160 Baltimore st., Balti
more, and is, in out opinion, the ablest
uf the Southern Monthlies. It is con
ducted by Messrs. Murdoch, Browne
and Hill, all gentlemen filled with zeal
to build up a literature of our own
and with the dash of youthful vigor in
everything they do. They are young
men. Mr. Hill is a nephew of the
late Hon. Edward Y. Hill of Georgia.
Mr. Browne, the leading writer of the
trio, possesses in profusion all the re
quisites for a successful literary career.
He is a Baltimorean. Ilis monthly
contributions to his magazine are fully
equal to any contributions found in
the American or English monthlies
In Mr. Murdoch, the intelligent South
ron is unmistakably embodied. All
three are gentlemen in the 1 ighest
sense of the w-ord.
Among the contributors to the
Southern Magazine are many distiu
guished names well known to litera
ture. The touches of the graceful
pen of “Philemon Perch” (Mr. John
son, formerly of Hancock county, Ga.)
frequently adorn its paces. The “Spi
der Web Papers” of Mr. Holt (author
of “What I know about Ben Eccles”)
are admirably written, with great orig
inality ot both conception and execu
tion. Mr. Holt is a Mississippian. That
noble laborer in Southern Literature,
Mrs- Margaret J. Preston of Virginia
is a monthly contributor. Mrs. Pres
ton is a sister of the widow of “Stone
wall” Jackson. Mrs. Preston’s “Beech-
enbrook” is perhaps the most successlu
effort of the Southern Muse which has
appeared in print, and will secure a
permanent place in the literature oi
our language- And many others equal
ly distinguished, are regular laborers in
the “vineyard” of the Southern Maga
zine, as Paul H. Hayne, Prof. Brown of
our State University, and Sidney La
nier of Macon. The Magazine is very
handsomely printed. Each number
contains about 150 octavo pages of
reading matter. We earnestly bespeak
for it the patronage of those South
erners who desire to build up a South
ern Literature of a high standard of
•ibility.

The Three Bernices or Ansermo
of the Crag. Bij Mrs. A. M. Bright.
This is a historical novel, which
carries us back to the days of St. Paul,
Agrippa, Felix, Simon Magus, Ves
pasian, Titus, Domitiau, Josephus, and
many others, whose names have be
come famous in both sacred and pro
fane history. It is very interesting to
all classes of readers, and is for sale at
the drug store of L. W. Hunt & Co.,
in Milledgeville, where is also for sale
mauy other interesting books, among
them the writings of Miss L. Muhl-
bacli, Dickens, Easton Cook, &c., &c.
Senator Norwood, of Georgia, has
been seated and this settles the long
discussed question of the right of Mr.
Foster Blodgett to a s-eat. The latter
gentleman lias, it is stated, been in
dicted by the Grand Jury of Fulton
county, for cheating and swindling.
BROTHER, BUOD CIIEER.
There's beauty in the perfect day,
And in the peerless night ;
There's beauty in the waving grain,
And in the swallow’s flight.
This life is all too short for gJief,
Though tears may have a place,
But better far the che rful smile
That lights an honest face.
There’s beauty in the darkling cloud,
Torn bj the lightning's seaiti6,
And beauty in the grand old sea,
And in the rippling s'reams.
The earih was made for joy fulness,
So, brother mine, good cheer;
And while we live, we’ll live and laugh,
And dying claim a tear.
There’s pleasure in a woman’s kiss.
Yea, beauty in her guiles ;
And oh, the loving tiuthfuln- ss
That dwells in childhood’s - miles
Aud shall we men with wrinkled brows,
And hair fast turning gray,
Slili wa k in gloom, denied the grace
That blesseu our boyhood’s day ?
The world was one vast plensuro-honse
’Till Eve with hungry eye.
Tempted poor Adam to his fail
'Neath Eden’s azure sky ;
And her fair daughters yet incline
H r artful ways to borrow :
She was tirst cause of all our pains ;
They bind us still to sorrow.
There’s beauty in the summer s prime,
And in the winter’s snow ;
The darkest scene holds something bright,
There’s joy for every woe.
Away, then, visage wrapped in gloom,
That looks on mirth as crime,
But live aud laugh, Death cannot strike
Till the appointed time.
