IX HOUSE.
Great interest was manifested this morning, in the
louse, iu idadon to the subject of the removal of the
•cat of Government from Mil.edgeville A large cm
course of ladies tilled the g.! levies, and numerous
strangers occupied the lobby outside of the railing,
eager to know the fate of the Dill.
When the Bill was read, Mr. Strother, from Lincoln,
load a substitute providing for the ascertaining of the
? I eople's will in regard to the subject. Mr. Strother
j made several remarks in relation to the Bill, and said
i be was in Civor of removal, but desired to be instructed
I bv tbe people.
Mr. Smith, of DeKalb, thought that the Legislature
had the legitimate right to exercise the power of re
moval, and was in furor of determining the question
; at ooce.
• Mr. Reynolds, of New ton, said that lie agreed with
. “he gentleman from Lincoln lie {wanted to know
| a hethcr the people of Georgia desired that the seat of
• Miverument should be taken from Milledgeville.
i Mr. Ilanienuu: asked the gentlemen whether they
dinitik from meeting this question uow—whether
•heir knees Belskuzzarued now, and they must return
to their constituents to know w hat to do. lie said he
was actuated by no ‘lukind feelings towards Milledgc*
iile, in disiliug that the seat of Government should
“>e taken to some other jHiint. Far from it. Some of
he pleasantest recollections i t his life were connected
vith Miileilgeriiie; but he desired that the seat of
Government should be at somccomn creial place, where
here was a larger populaliou, and more accotnmodr,
ion than in MiUedgeviile.
Mr. Speaker Ward said lie desired that the House
; should have some light upon this subject lx-fore they
j voted. I/e was willing to meet tbe qia-slhm during
this session, but he desired that the Committee ou
Finance should rejairt in relation to the present condi
:ru of the State, its debt, Ac., and w hat would be the
probable expendi'ure* necessary to carry out the pro*
j p->scd removal. His miud would be guided by the best
lights before him. He, tlieu-fore, moved to refer the
j ihll and substitutes, to the Committee on Fmanoe.

Mr Trice, of Pike, sjx>ke against removal.

MACON, GEORGIA:”
WEDXKSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1863.
Local Items.
The election of a Mayor, u I.’oard of Aldermen, and
three Marshals for the City, will take place on Satur
day nest, and we would urge all who are interested iu !
hc prosperity of Maoon, to fn to the pout and vote. —
There is uo place in Georgia, where so little interest is j
generally folt in Charter elections, as in our city. This
should not be so, for they are matters io which the in
terests of even citizen are more or less involved. And j
we forewarn all who do not exercise the elective ban- •
close on Sattmiay, that they have no right to complain,
if the election is not what they desired Let us have ‘
a ck*a:i and full j;oll of tbe electors of our city, and it
ivili then be a fair expression of the popular will.
Col. Na.han Ba-o, we arc requeued to state, is not a
candidate for Alderman.
The books of subscription to the c.ipital stock of tbe j
Macon and Warrenton Railroad, under the supervision
of Commissioners appointed fir that purpose, will be
ij>e:ied in this city on the l"th inst. The report of Win. |
G. Bonner, Engineer of the Road, Is in the hands of the |
Commissioners, giving all necessary estimates as to the |
cost of construction and equipment, and the probable 1
i*onrces of revenue to the Bond, and accompanied by a j
jump, which show* the alignment of the route and it* :
i connexions with the other railways of this, an ! the ad- !
|joi:sing Stales. There is no difference of opinion among
lour citizen*, as to tbe prime importance of this road to I
Macs n, and there* is as little atuong intelligent men, as
to the value of its stock. The meeting ofcitizens coiled
by the Mayor, to take into consideration the propriety
of a subscription by tbe city, to the capital stock of this
Road, was held on List evening. At the hour at which
we went to press—we had no rejx-rt of its action.
Tue congregation of the I‘resbyteilan Church cf this
city, wc learn, design to erect anew and beautiful house
of worship, on the corner of Mulberry and First Streets,
the plan of which ha* already been selected. It will be
when built, the third large commodious and elegant
Caureij building which has been erected here within a
short time, aud will be an ornament to our city, us well
as a” evidence of the appreciation of our citizens of the
value of the preached Word. In order to obtain funds
o assist in this htuu.iLle undertaking, the young ladies
of the lYeshvtenan Choir, propose to give a Concert of
local nod instrumental music at Concert Hall, on Mon
j day n etiLug next, conducted by Prof Guttcnberger and
Family. Tickets for this Concert, we are requested lu
slate, will be found at the stores of Messrs. U inship A
■Soil, \V. W. Parker, and E. B. Weed. We hardly
need to commend ibe design of this entertainment,
or to urge our readers to attend. Tlie object is a
worthy one, and the inode of oontributiou, a pleasant
one. It :s pleasant to drop a dollar into the dirty palui
oi a beggai, to do a chartlable act of any kind, simply,
because it is a duty—it isdccidixilv pleasanter to do our
duty when it furnishes us selfish gratification The
young ladies expect to give all who may attend, a valua.
ble consideration for ibeir money iu sweet sounds —
not a very desirable investment js-ihaps, but atill, a
very pleasant inducement to contribute bomc-thing to
aid iu tbe erection of a Chuicb Building.
Tbe Railroad Circus exhibited iu our city to crowded
audiences, ou the evenings of the Ist, -jnd, and Hid iusts.
) The company is small, but embraces in the number of
’is actors, M’lle Rosa, the best Feunde Equestrian, Herr
:Cuislc, the best Athlete, and Den Stone, the best f.icto

|have ever wilnessi-il <q>ou tbe A mericaii -sawdust
! The company will pass through our city on Saturday
‘next, eii route for Milledgeville, and give one Exhibition
on that evening.
The KtmLcls returned to our city from Savannah,
and gave two of tbeir entertainments on Monday and
I Tuesday evening at Concert Hall, embracing their rep*
! re-sen tat iou of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The Troupe go
ftom this |4>iut to Atlanta aud Chattanooga, aud we
would commend ilieui to the patronage of ad a ho love
tint music, or enjoy a hearty laugh.
The celebrated Troujieof Chinese Magician*. Nacio.
n.ancers, Jugglers, and Acrobats, are advertised to ap
pear at Concert Kail this evening. The entertainment
which they ofter is a novel one—the feats which they
perform are astonishishing, and the Troupe dressed in
Oriental costume as Mundaria:i*, arc alone, a sufficient
curiosity to a::.-vx-t a !a:gecio.-.d of we Occidea’jl*.
On Monday, the 28th ult.. Fix-Governor lieuja
min Fitzpatrick, and llou. C. C. Clay, Jr., were elected
lo the Senate of the Uniied States, by tbe Legislature
of Alub-ana. Clemens then has been slaughtered, Cobb
has been slaughtered, and Foote is auxiolisly awaiting
his decapitation. Their oflbnee was devotion to the
Union, and approval of the Compromise measure* of
1850.
l-*T~ Charlotte C. a daughter of tlie venerable Thom

The Washington /-Vim, the organ of the Administra
tion, in a long article upon “ the Union of the Democ
racy,” coivtaiwed in its issu-i of the 80th ult.. asserts,
that the Baltimore Convention, which nominated Gen
eral Piwvc, did not approve of the Compromise, in the
I’Utfomi, which it adopted, that if there had been any
such approval contained iu it, “ the nominee would have
met with certain defeatthat the Democracy were
divided upon the questions of ihe Compromise, into irre
concilable factious, and that the union and harmony of
Cue Party were secured by the failure, of the Conven
tion, openly to approve or to oppose <hc plan of adjust
ment. Thia assertion is startling, coming as it does
from the recognised orjpin of n President who was elect
ed by the strength of the Union sentiment, and on ac
count of his complete identification with the Compro
mise Party ot IS3O. The gist of the article is simply
this, that the Democracy ujion the great and living is
sues of the day, are divided as tar as the jiolcs are asun
der, that this fact was known, recognised and acied
upon at Baltimore, that the Party as then and there or
ganised, and as at present constituted, is but a coalition
of factious, for the sake of tlie spoils, and that upon tins
idea the President lias acted in the distribution of office.
Thi> is the plain intent and meaning of tbe article, 1;. ing
under a mass of verbiage and common-place. It is a
bold confession, of the humiliating fact, that the union
and re-organization of the Democracy, at Baltimore, “us
u compromise and surrender ol prtuciplc, effected b\
the to. -it agreement cf the factions entering into it, that
the opinions and principles which each entertained
should be held in abeyance, cloaked and concealed and
kept ill the back ground. According to the Union, a
common name, and a common upetite for plunder, is all
which is held in common by the members ot the great
dominant Bemocractic Party of the Union ! John dan
Buicii is a Democrat, Daniel S. Dickinson is a Demo
crat, Howell Cobb is a Democrat, and Charles J. Me
Donald is a Democrat, according to its interpretation ot
ihe Baltimore Platform, and all that is necessary tor
these four representatives of the four factious ol the
Party and their adherents to do, to establish their or
thodoxy, is to eulogise iu a very general way the im
maculate purity of Democratic principles—support the
administration, and be careful never to permit los in
dividual Free Soil, Compromise or Disunion principles,
to obtrude themselves above the dead level of the Balti’
more Platform, to disturb the union hikl harmony ot
the Party. As long as their iuvidualitv is completely
swallowed up and lost, as long ns their mouths are her
metically sealed, as long as they have no opinions—
they are consistent and reliable Democrat* —but as soon
as they have opinions of their own, and venture to ex
press them—as soon as they dare to interpret for them
selves, the declarations of tbe Platform, or to criticise
the acts of the administration, they i mdei/tocrutiie them
selves, they become disorganizes, disturbers, faction,
ists and agitators, and must be denounced and ostracis
ed. The essence of Reorganised Democracy then, is a
sacrifice of individual opii.iuu for party power, aud :I.°
basis of tbe leorguuizaitou is a simple agreement to dis
agree ujain principles. There is limbing new in this
interpretation of the character of the Reorganised lfo*
mnetaev, but there is something novel in the bold and
uublushiugeffrontery, with which it is given by an or”
gan of Ihe Party. General Scott ivasdeleatcd upon the
suspicion that he might deal too tenderly with the Free”
soil taction of tlie Whig Party; and yet the orgau’o 1
the Administration of General Pierce, admits that the
Democracy is but a coalition of factious, and that the
policy of the President is to conciliate them, and io re
cognise them us entitled to his patronage, countenance
and support Every thing which was suspected and
dreaded in General Scott, lias been realized in General
Pierce. Elected as a Union, Compromise man, by men
ot all parties, he lias studiously and systematically,
courted Hud favored the Anti-Union, Anti-Compromise
elements of the Democrat Party, made it the uursir.g
uiotlier of isms and political heresies, and inaugurated
in jvower the very infiuences which were dreaded in
tiie elevation of General Scott. General Scott was de
feated, but the deeper humiliation awaits Gen. Pierce ot
an unsuccessful Administration. It hns lost alieadv the
confidence of the people of this country, and meets their
Representatives in Congress, for the first time, crippled
and broken down. Its history is a record of confidence
abused, and pledges unredeemed. It has tailed to bar.
inooise tbe incongruous elements of its Party. That
Party is to-day distracted, divided, demoralised and
broken into factions, and tbe Administration is identi
fied with tbe worst of them. It must fail. It wants
that first great requisite of a stable and pure political
organization—unity of sentiment and agreement in pol
icy among its members, upon vital questions. As u
mere coalition of factions, it cunuot command ibe confi
dence or retain the allegiance of its own members It
must foil aud give place to a purer Party, which wil*
dare boldly lo make issue with tactionists at the North
and tbe South, and recognise agreement in poliiiciJ
principle, as the only basis of its organization.
XW The first Session of the Tbirtv-tliiid Congress
of the Uuited S.ates, began on Monday. We have uo
news as yet, of the organization of either House, or j
the delivery of the Message of the President. A caucus
of the Democratic members was held on Saturday night,
Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, in the Chair. Resolutions
were introduced endorsing the Baltimore Platform and
the Inaugural of President Pierce. A resolution against
the interference ol the Government in Stale pi btic
was ruled out of order by the Chairman, and he was
sustained by th.> caucus. This is the beginning of
Democratic opposition to the Administration.
Lino Boyd of Kentucky, was renominated for Speaker
of the Ho use on the 2nd ballot, and John W. Forney r.t
Pennsylvania, for Clerk on the Ist ballot.
Jared Williams, formerly member of the House
of Represent at ires, from New Hampshire-, and Govern
or of that State, lias been appointed by the Coventor
to fill the vacancy in Ihe United States Senate, occa
sioned by the death of the Hon. C. G. Atherton. The
Unluu characterizes him as a “ reliable ” Democrat,
which means, we supp-ose, that he may be relied upon
to support tlie Administration, whatever it may do, or
whatever it may leave undone.
Governor Foote of Mississippi, has written rn
address to the people of that State, withdrawing from
the Senatorial canvass, attributing the defeat of his
friends to the interference of the Administration in the
election, and the impertinent issue of the payment of
the Union Bank bonds, and announcing his retirement
to private life. “Good night to Munition.”
The Hon. Anson G. Phelps, President of ihe
New York Colonization Society is dead.
Death of Judge Dougherty.
The following letter addressed to tlie Editors of the
Ci.ronlca' d* Sriitiucl, contains an account of the cir
cumstances attending the death of this distinguished
Georgian, the announcement of which has been receiv
ed throughout the State, with sincere and profound rc’
gret. The estimation in which Judge Dougherty was
held, bv those who knew him best, has been shown in
tbe extraordinary honors, which have been paid to his
memory, by the citizens of Athens. The citizens of
that place, without distinction of age. or party, or posi
tion, have united with the people of ihe adjoining coun*
ties, publicly to express their sense of the loss which
the community and the State has sustained in his
death, and to proffer sympathy to his ntliicted fumilv
iu their sudden and overwhelming bereavement. In
another column, we publish a short tribute to his mem
ory, from a correspondent who was the contemporary
of Judge Dougherty, and enjoyed his intimate friend*
ship for many years.
A turns, Gu., Nov. 2Gth, ISA".
Ed. Chri.n'cJe d* — Sir —About dusk this
evening our citizens were startled by the appaling in
U-lligenee, that Judge Dougherty a* killed, by the ar
rival of a messenger fi.r medical and other aid.’
He was ou hi> return from a limit, in company with
two friend*. When about four miles from town, in ihe
vicinity of” Wilson’s Mill,” on climbing a fence lie fell
backward* and expired in a few minute*. It is sup
posed to have been oceassioned by an apoplectic lil.
Vou, Mr. Editor, can judge of the sensation produced
here when the sorrowful event was rendered certain. - -
I’ Few are able to reul.ze it, it ii so sudden, so crushing,
lu the death ol Judge Dougherty, our community
has suffered a great loss—one of its best and most re -
spected citizens, and Georgia one of her brightest jew
els; for he was beloved and respected when living,
by ail who knew him, and but few will hear of his
death, without paying ihe tributeofa tear to his mem
ory
A public riecting r.f tbe citizens of this and the ad
j joining cou'i*ie*, will he called to give expression to ihe
, public sorrow. Clark.

Beni oval of the Seat of Government.
The question of the removal of the Seat of Govern
ment, is stilljupon the tapis, aud r.t the same t me in
the clouds —nothing definite having been done with ij
as yet, and no one seeming to know what will be its
final disposition. On Thuisday last, it came up in the
iiouse of Representatives, and gave rise to a very am.
mated discussion, in -vhieh Messrs. Hardeman, of Bibb,
Strother, of Lincoln, Remolds, of Newton, Smith, of
DeKalb, Speaker Ward, and others, participated, which
ended upon a motion of Mr. Ward, in its reference to
the Finance Committee, lo report we presume upon the
ability of the State of Georgia, to build a Capitol, suit,
ed to its necessities. It scents to be doubted whether
the reference ha* killed the measure, and whether such
was ihe design of Mr Ward, in making the motion,
ionr Savannah content; . r u ies of the Courier and ihe
Republican, both statu g in their reports of the debate,
that he is understood to be in favoi of removal to Ma
con,) but it was wholly unnecessary, and its effect has
Licvn to delay and to cm harass the project. There are a
few prominent facts connected with the finances of the
State, known to every intelligent man within its limits
They are, that the State debt is insignificant and easily
managed, that it lias available assets, which would
cover twice the amount of her indebtedness, that the
oi dinary amount necessary for an administration of he.-
Government is easily raised by taxation, which is no,
vit to be oppressive by her citizens, and that ihe annu
al expense in repairing and preserving her public build
ings at Milledgeville, would L-e nearly equal to the in
terest upon the sum to be expended in a removal of the
Capitol. And these facts it would seem to us, are alto
get her sufficient to justify action upon the question o 1
r-nioval, if the ability of the Stale to undertake it, is
iho only point to be settled, and it is certainly the only
point which a report from the Finance Committee will
sctile
Upon this, as upon other questions, which have come
before the Legislature, there is a great disposition to
avoid responsibility, by referring it to the people. The
representatives of the people, exhibit extreme deference
to the will of their constituents, and it is curried so far
that we lear, we shall gradually loose the distinctive
feature of a representative republic, and that the peo.
pie shall become the legislative department of the gov
ernment, in despite of that provision of our Constitution
which vests legislative power, exclusively, in the Sen
ate and iiouse of Representatives in General Assembly
It is very rarely, that a question is made, which is prop,
erly referable to the people, because it is very rarely the
case, that a question is made where Ihe power of the
representative to act, is so doubtful that it must be re
ferred buck to the source of his power —the people.—
References of mere questions of policy and expediency
are improper and useless. They are very generally
nothing more or lt-ss, than hills for discovery and relict
- -for relief from the responsibility of acting for dis*
covery of the direction ot the popular current. It is a
very great mistake to suppose that the people, desire or
approve of such references. We, the people, have other
business to engage us, ar.d wc have for that reason del
egated to our representatives, in the Legislature, the
onerous duties of legislation. We do not care on every
unimportant occasion, to re-assume ihe powers we have
delegated to them. If our system in the feature of rep.
resentation is wrong, let us abolish it, assemble the peo.
pie iu mass, and let them vote viva ?•<*• , upon questions
of h-gi.- lation ; but if it is right, let us preserve it, iu fact
us well as in theory.
S fin- a.i the question of removal is concerned, the
people are with its advocates. There has been already
a very general expression of opinion upon it. and it ha s
been not only in favor of removal, but of removal to
Macon. We still trust that the measure may not be
defeated by a conflict among its friends, upon the future
location ot the Capital.
Macon does not claim its location, but its clligibility
in every respect, has suggested it as the most suitable
point for the seat of Government. Consequently, she
has been violently assailed by the press of Atlanta and
Milledgeville, and has keen subjected to tbe extreme
indignity of being compared to the former in point o*
morality, and to the latter in point of morality, health
and hotel accommodation ! A greater indignity could
hardly have been offered her- -and we might be dispos
ed to resent it, but our resentments are all lost and
swallowed up in admiration of the power of invention
and hurelness of face, exhibited by those who institute

The Savannah River Valley Railroad.
The Stockholders in this contemplated Road, at a
meet ing lecently in Hamburg, S C.. effected an organ
izatu.u, lv the election of a President, and u Board of
Dircctius, and the Company bus entered into the onter
prise, with an energy which insures its success. It is
a South Carolina project, but one iu which: Augusta,
and Savannah are largely interested. Mr. F. C. Arms,
ihe efficient Superintendent of the Georgia Railroad,
for a number of years, we notice, has accepted the ap
poitit ment of Chief Engineer, and will begin the exper
imental surveys of the route early in January.
The correspondent of tlie Charleston Standard, in a
late Kit.-rfrom Columbia, thus notices this new enter
prise i
The Sivannah River Valley Ronl is assuming a
pn-ition of great respectability. Stock to the amount
if ’7-V fiO has already been taken by the private sub
script ion. Mr. Hiram Hutchinson, po-'i.-s -d of exten
sile means, indomitable energy, and the habit of success
ot .til In* undertakings, h is accepted o. i lie* presidenev.
He is assisted by a highly efficient and respectable di
ne io.. Augusta and savannah b-uh cast smiles and
blardi-hments about the company, with die view, it is
suppose I, of enticing the road to ihe Georgia aide of the
Ruer, and hence it is that Ibis enterprise does now us
mi no a particularly imposing appearance. Os its ulti
in it<- completion there can now be no kind of question;
and its completion will render our rue pis ol die trade
and trived brought by the Blue Ridge Road to Ander
son, dependent upon our preseniing greater facilities
for transportation than are presented bv Savannah
The advantage* of Savannah with respect to trade at
\ugiisfii, can be rendered quite as great as are those of
Clun k *ion, and hence is presented to us the unpleasant
prospect of vet having to struggle (or the rewards of
our own enterprise in bringing trafle from beyond the
mountains.
1 ihiiik it important, therefore, that the River Valley
Road should be kept within the limits of our State, anil
in order to this, that the fund for its completion should
bo afforded from such sources as will render it indepen
dent of the State of Georgia.
Ci. Ki.ENs, Cobb and Foots —The Charleston Mercu
ry concludes a notice of the election of [J. S. Senators in
Alabama, with the following thrust at these three poli
ticians:
“ l’oor Jerry Clemens! Poor Cobb! Poor Foote!—
The great Union savers of the Smith, all sent to the
dogs in a single year! It will be a theme of mournfully
indignant comment oil the part of the Castle Garden
Committee and their organs, but we have faith to be
lieve that they have simply gone to their own place.—
If they saved the Union, let tlie Union feed and clothe
them. But for the South, stripped of her rights, dis
honored and betrayed by them and their like, it is not
tor her to be grateful for such services. Let the section
which took the body, pay the cost of ihe adventure.”
Smithsonian Institi tb. —'i he completition of the in
terior of the main building of Smithsonian Institution
is now actively progressing. The original plan having
been changed by the Regents, all the wood work and
tra.ning has been renewed, and its place is being sup
plied hv fire proof materials. The first story is to be
titled up for the Library and Museum of Natural Histo
ry, and the second story us a Lecture Room, capable of
accommodating 2,000 persons. These arrangements,
it is thought, will be completed within six moti lis at
ihe farthest, when the western wing of the building, at
present occupied by the Library, will he converted into
a Gallery of Art.
The services of the following gentlemen have been
engaged for the coming series of lectures: Benjamin
Hallowel, of Alexandria, Va., who will deliver a course
of lectures on Astronomy. Dr. J. Lawrence Smith, of
the University of Virginia, u course of twelve or more
lectures on (’bemistry ; Oliver Wendell Holmes, who
i will repeat his course on Poetry.
China*
Os llie iiopulution in China and the Government there,
the -V. J. Run- savs:
‘•The population of China proper is estimated, and, it
is believed, correct!'.’, at 867,682,007 inhabitants. In
the dependencies of *M mtchooria, Mongolia, Turkistsn,
Thibet, Ac., the population is about 4n,n00,n0", making
a total of over Jour hundred in I'dmiqfpeopl, under one
government, or eighteen times as many us live under
this Republic. Should our population double in num
ber every half century, it would requite nearly two
hundred and fifty years to acquire a population equal to
the present population of China.
The quantity of land in China is estimated at
100 English acres, of which 1 f1,1111,347, or nearly one
sixth is under cultivation. The total area in square
miles is 1,2‘J7 999, and the population on each square
mile is 288. Were tbe Chinese u warlike people, and as
far advanced in all the modern arts and sciences as the
American or Fhigiish. they could overrun ail Asia, and
conquer the combined armies of Europe. The effects
of a successful revolution among pm,On.i.ofio cannot be
foreshadowed by any human imagination.

“Lower California is a long peninsula in the Pacific,
pnrnHed to the continent, front which it is separated by
a deep gulf. The Spaniards long viewed it us a sort of
ill Dorado, or country ot wealth, their hopes being led
hv some pearls found niton its shore; but aciose exam
ination lias dispelled there; visions. California < ..joys
he most beautiful sky .n the world, constantly serene
and blue, and cloudless; or if any clouds for an instant
appear they display to most brilliant finis. But the
soil is sandy and arid, like the shores of Provence, aud
only a few favorer! spots present a trace of vegetation.
No where can be found a finer abode for the astron
omer or a worse for the cultivation.”
For the Journal A Messenger.
Hon. Charles Dougherty.
The sudden death of thisdist'iiguished gentleman has
stricken many hearts with deep sorrow, and impressed
the public mind with regret. When Rome was great
and virtuous the death of such a man, commanded a
monument at the charge of the Commonwealth. Here,
whilst it demands as much, it is proper that it receive,
at least, the tribute ol a respectful and sorrowing news
paper record. Inthe midst of jmlitical contests Party
leaders should pause to reflect that one of their number
Inis disappeared -one whose ability always inspired re
spect, and whose patriotism, honor and integrity always
awakened confidence, in the midst of professional ex
citement and absorption the members of the liar, may
well take time to note that a learned associate mingles
no longer his wise counsels in their consultations—raises
no more his eloquent voice in the Forum, and never will
again pronounce upright judgments from the Bench.
In those social reunions which so gracefully relieve the
labors of the law, they will recall, with mingled pain
and pride, his calm dignity when grave, and his peas
ant mirth when gay—his native politeness —bis equa
ble temper —his sterling good sense —and his justice
and magnanimity. They will remember that Judge
Dougherty was a just and ti ua exponent of a profession
whose vast ini!uence is wielded through the ability, lib
erality and integrity of its members. lie attained to its
highest honors, and won them worthily. He donned
the ermine modestly—and dolled it not only unstained,
but unrufiled. lie was an able Lawyer, and au upright
Judge. Such men are the jewels of the professional
crown. The community in which he was born and
where he lived will realise in his death a practical loss;
for he was the friend of the poor—the patron of merit
—the asserier of tight, and the peaceful avenger of
wrong. lie was a pattern of pure morality and the
guardian of decency, order, and ail the refinements and
charities of the cultivated circle in which he moved.—
His very presence was a si.lace and a scent ity. Men
felt that Charles Dougherty was honest and pure aud
true His life strengthened the good and rebuked the
bad. There was in his bearing —his sentiments and
his conduct a magnificent manliness, which testified to
the world that he belonged to the highest order of the
race Nature made him a nobleman—lhe attributes of
a man were written in his imposing figure —his intel
lectual head and his benevolent eye. The heart of
friendship, however, will receive the saddest impression
of his loss—that will ache with an intensity of anguish
to which the many who esteemed and admired him, are
happily strangers. Those who were admitted to the
sanctuary of his love, and they only, are cognisant o 1
the warmth and steadiness of bus affections and the
strength and nobility of his character.
It would be not only unavailing, but rude, to enter
into the presence of his bereaved family, with sympathy
or regrets. There is a sorrow so deep and dark that it
admits of no fellowship. There are visitations so mys*
terious and overwhelming, that we feel us though the
victims are set apart by Cod, dedicated to suffering.—
We mat imagine the grief of his desolated home, by re
calling the domestic virtues for which he was distin
guished ; such as tenderness ns a husband—fidelity and
affection as a father—justice and moderation as a master
—and steadfastness, counsel, aid and svuqaitby as a
brother. Some men are great or good only at a dis
tance-others are magnified by proximity. He belong
ed to the latter class, as many ultimate associates in
Georgia can attest. Upon the education, improvement*
and legislation of Georgia, he lias left the impress of
his clear and discriminating mind, lie was very re*
markable for the strength and accuracy of his judgment
—a visionary in nothing—practical in every thing.—
lie loved Truth. His intellect was its throne and his
heart its home. He delighted in presenting it without
disguise, and would permit in others no counterfeit pie*
sentiition. No man was ever less under the dominion
of prejudice, false theories or sophistry. So equally
were all the elements of mind distributed in bis iutellec.
tual constitution—so well adjusted and happily balanced
were all its attributes, that his errors of opiniou were
exceedingly rare. And he had the courage to act upon
his own convictions. That moral courage which re
gards neither private interest—public clamor—distin
guished names or plausible theories, when in con
flict with ttuth or duty. He early in life entered upon
his profession, and in the county where he was raised
acquired at once a respectable amount ol business, dis.
proving the aphorism that a prophet hath honor but in
his own country. Wising steadily he was madeJudg*
of the Western Circuit and presided in its Courts fo r
many years. When a young man he was returned to
the Legislature from Clarke county and represented
that county for many years. In the Legislature he was
from the beginning a leader—not of his party only, but
of the whole body upon all questions which rose above
the necessities of party. It may be said with perfect
truth, that no man exerted for twenty-five years, a more
salutary influence upon the laws of the State, than did
he. Ilis position and his opinions contributed as much
in forming and guiding public sentiment, ns those
anv one of the great men of Georgia. His actual servi
ces to the country have been numerous, but they have
scarcely been so beneficial ns the silent i o.ver of his
character. He received Ihe nomination ot his party for
the Government—also, for the United States Seuate
when his friends held the majority in the Legislature
lie was a member of the Board ot 1 vustees of the Uni. \
versily aud contributed greatly to the building up ami
sustaining of that Institution.
Such is but an out line of the life and character, Os
one whose death, without a figure of speech, has caused
a great State to mourn. He was stricken down in the
prime of his years, and in the enjoyment of
heal h. God in one moment quenched the light of his
life. Ilis bodily presence is lost to sense, but already
from the tomb has arisen, iu grand and beautiful pro*
portions, the image of his character, to preside for long
years, for good, over the destinies of his native State.
A Faicxn of many years.
