Colonel Roberts, of Louisiana,
proposes to ask the general govern
tnent to guarantee the debts of the
Southern States for as much as they
are worth in the market. Louisiana
owes about $12,000,000, w orth about
70 per ceut. The State w ill lie asked
to issue bonds for 70 per cent of
$12,000,000,the general government to
guarantee these bonds, and tho present
holders to exchange for these. This
is one more proposed stop towards
centralization. 1 luring the war mu y
things were done which the framers of
our constitution never contemplated.
The sooner we get hack to the broad
idea that the United States govern
ment is one of limited powers, having
no lights except those expressly
delegated, the safer w ill he our
liberties.

Perfect a hill for that purpose, and no
doubt it will lie passed without

In districting the state, the nmst

as may be. The hill now before the
legislature is in both these respects
probably us fair a one a- can be dratted.

THK W. h A. I.K.ISIC.
I have shown you that wo first haro
our contract mado, have its direct affirm
ulion by direct action ol the owners of
the road, the Stale of Ooorgia speaking
through tho la-glsluturo. We have
recognition by the State time after time,
us I have shows you. All that would seem
to settle the case.
Upon the faith of this the lessees went
on and made iiuprov 'moots. They have
expended a great dual of money upon
that road. When it was leased to them
it was in a frightful condition, so much
so thai when a committee was appointed
in 1870 to investigate it, there was found
among the papers a letter written by
Varney Gaskill to Foster Blodgett, in
which he said: "The road is in a frightful
condition. As I rodo I prayod."
Gaskill was Blodgett's private secretary
anil was writting a confidential letter on
another subject. There was scarcely a
day that there was not an accident. Thu
road was managed as badly as it could he
managed. That year there were eight
hundred thousand dollars lost under
Foster Blodgett's management. The
records show that Gov rnor Smith paid
about eight hundred thousand dollars of
its audited claims when he came Into
office. It was taking money out of the
Treasury of tho State instead ol putting
it there.
Thu State made this lease upon the
terms imuird in the deed of lease, and
the lessees took hold of it and spent their
money in putting it in thorough running
order. The lessees have spent upon that
road one million five hundred and nim-ty
fivu thousand dollars in betterments,
besides purchasing cars and engines,
which arc there to-day.
Would it be fair, would it ho just, to
stand by until aflor this is dorm, saying
tin e and again, we affirm the lease, and
than come forward by the strong hand of
power and say: "Wo will tako this
property from you and ignore your
rights?" Grant your power to do it, is
it right? Would a court suffer it? Would
it he permitted? The-e, then, are the
facts upon which we base our defences.
I submit to you us lawyer', arc they not
facts upon which a rather stubborn
defence could he made?
Is it the interest of the road or of the
Slate to fight it? 1 say to you to-day us
tho representative of the lessees, if you
desire the road and you will pay for iho
bettorinents, you can have it without a
suit. We will turn it over to you upon
their payment, i! that he so, why fight
ovei it? If you want the tho road, pay
what lias been pul upon it and lake il.
Is not this fair? Docs the great Stato ol
Georgia wish to take property without
paying for it? Will the State do a thing
she will not permit a citizen to do? Does
tho State wish to tin that which she has
though her judges declared time and
again is a fraud when attempted hy h r
citiz.ns? Will she encourage men to
spend money, and then attempt to re
pudiate those acts with the hope of
making money? Ido uot believe it- I
do not believe that if these facts hail been
remembered hy the Legislature oilßßl,
that (he resolution of'2Hth September,
IKS I, would ever have been passed.
When that road was leased, there was
hut seventeen miles of ballast upon the
whole line, and not in ounce of steel rail
upon its track. To-day almost the entire
road hud lias boon ballasted and lias boon
laid with steel rails of the very host kind.
Sinoo this litigation commenced wo have
put down 700 tons of steel rails upon the
upper end of the road, and wo intend to
put down at bast two thousand five
hundred tons within the next few months
in order to hotter compete with our grca (
rival, the East Tcuneasee Road Docs
that indicate that wo have any fear of
the result of this suit in the courts?
Every bridge upon the road has been
built anew. Every or e has been buil: of
irou or a combination of iron uud w,-od,
save two. There is not a belter road to
day in tho United States than the
Western and Atlantic railroad, so far as
physical condition of the road is oonoerned.
If you waut it, pay what we have
put upon it and lake it without a law
suit. Cun there be a fairer proposition?

lie sells mostly to Macon grocers, at

contends that a pound of butter costs
less than a |Kiuiid of cotton. He
weans his calves at four days old,
feeding them on milk, gradually mixing
more and more skimmed milk with the
new. The cows are all milked in
stancheons the year round, and kept
there all * night in winter. A small
quantity of cotton seed or of wheat
bran is fed to each cow while being
milked. In winter he feeds on
Bermuda hay, straw of oats or wheat,
