THOMASTON, OaT'dEC. 18* W.
CONGRESS AND GEORGIA.
The latest news from Congress in
dieates a disposition on the part of
that body to postpone action on the
Georgia question until after the meet
ing of the Legislature in January
next. This is much better for us than
wa3 first wftticipated, and but confirms
U3 in the opinion we advanced last
week—-that Congress will not inter
fere if the proper steps are taken by
the Legislature. And we again say,
in our opinion, the members of the
Legislature who occupy the seats of
the expelled nsgroes should at once
resign. If they resign the seats now
occupied by them they can ho filled
by anew election. But say some,
Governor Bullock will not order an
election. Suppose he does not, hew
will that effect the matter? There
will be left in each House more than
a quorum, and the legislation neces
sary for us during the next year can
be done by the remaining members.
If the members refered to resign and
the Legislature adopts the Fifteenth
Amendment, Gov. Bullock, with all
of his crowd of disappointed office
seekers and slanderers, can never in
duce Congress to interfere any furth
er. A large number of the Republic
can members of Congress are tired
of a continuous political strife,
especially when further action on the
question of reconstruction is an ad
mission on their part, that their much
boasted and pet scheme of reconstruc
tion has failed, and they will not at
last, he so easily induced to take ac
tion. Judging lrom what lately
transpired before the Reconstruction
Committee they are pretty well con
vinced of Gov. Bullock’s real motive.
It is not for the good of the Repub
lican party that he urges action on
the part of Congress, but it is to give
him a little brief power, and place in
office men of his choice. AYe cannot
believe that Congress, as insane as
some of its members are on the negro
question, will demand absolutely, that
the negroes shall be reseated. Such
a course would be contrary to all
parlimentary rules and usages, and
contrary to rules which govern the
proceedings of the courts of justice.
The Legislature when it passed
judgment upon the expelled members
was setting as a court —a court not
only competent to try and decide the
question, but the very highest tribun
al before which the question could
have been tried. The question hav
ing been tried and determined by a
tribunal of competent authority, it
can never he reviewed rightfully eith
er by the Legislature or any other
earthly tribunal. The Legislature
may, if the same parties should be
elected, declare them competent, and
while a decision of this kind would
overrule the former one, still it is a
new case and cannot affect the former
so as to reseat the expelled members.
The crisis is upon us and must be
met. It is, in our judgment, folly to
follow the advice of those who coun
sel non action. Non-action, will in
the madness of the hour, induce Con*
gross to pass the bill now proposed
for the persecution of Georgia. But
if the question is met by the resigna*
tion of the members refered to and
the adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, which was done at one time and
vetoed by the Governor, the Georgia
trouble will soon he at an end. The
adoption of the Fifteenth Amend'
ment is the main object which the
present administration desires accom
plished, and upon that this whole
question can be settled.
President Grant in his inaugral ad
dress said, u nothing is wanting to
complete reconstruction but the adop
tion of the Fifteenth Admendment.”
Those words were used by the Presi
dent long after the negroes had been
expelled from their seats in the Legis
lature, and when all of the facts and
circumstances attending their cxpuL
sion were well kr own to him and the
party acting with him. President
Grant then, according to his own
statement, is hound to recognize
Georgia as completely reconstructed
whenever the Fifteenth Amendment
is adopted. * That a majority of the
members of Congress will oppose any
further action in the Georgia matter
when the { resent members who occu
py the seats of the expelled negroes
resign and the Fifteenth Amend
ment is adopted we have no doubt.
If then our political troubles can
be settled in this way and forever
put at rest, certainly the object to be
accomplished is well worth an honest
effort of every lover of his country.
But if after going thus far for the
?nke cf quiet and peace Congress is
not satisfied with anything less than
reseating the negroes, we say mem
bers of the Georgia Legislature, never
d* it. Don’t be guilty of the folly
and chi M’s play of violating the time
ktnored rules and usages of Congress
and every deliberative assembly on
the face of the earth. But if this
last act of brutal tyrany is to be done
don’t allow yourselves to be made
the tools of its accomplishment. Let
Congress do it. And while w T e may
feel disappointed and humiliated we
should paitiently bide our time.
NEW MAIITROUTE.
We propose in connection with the
people at Pleasant Hill, Belview and
Talbotton, to petition the Govern
ment for the establishment of anew
mail route from Thomaston to Talbot
ton via Peasant Hill and Belview.
By the present route the mails in go
ing from Thomaston to either of the
above places passes over one hundred
and fifty miles of rail route and sixty
miles of hack line. While by the
proposed new route, if established,
the mails could be carried at a very
small cost and with far more conven
ience to the people, it being a
distance of only twenty-eight miles.
With a view therefore to establish
the above proposed route we ask the
people at Pleasant Hill, Belview and
Talbotton, to get up petitions setting
forth the facts in regard to the new
route lnve it largely signed and send
it to us. We desire bids at each
place for carrying the mail over this
new route, that the Department may
be furnished with all of the facts at
once. A weekly mail will do, though
we prefer a semi-weekly mail.
THE GEORGIA. HERALD.
Our paper which started only a
few days ago has now over four hun
dred subscribers, and we desire to in
crease it to one thousand soon. And
especially do we desire and intend
that it shall reach every family in the
county of Upson. We therefore ask
our subscribers throughout the county
to speak a good word for us. Every
subscriber can induce his neighbor or
friend to take it, and in this way it
can be circulated and reach every
house in the county. The very low
price charged for the paper places it
within the reach of nearly all. But
if there are any who desire the paper
and are not able to pay the subscrip
tion price don’t hesitate to let the fact
be known by reporting name and
post office to us and they shall have
the paper without charge. Our pa'
per is purely a county enterprise and
we desire all to have the benefit of it.
STATUTE oFTIMITATION.
We give below a synopsis of the
late act of the Legislature of this
State entitled an act in relation to
the statute of limitation and for oth
er purposes, approved March lGth,
1869. Pamphlet laws of 1869, pages
133 and 134.
The second section provides that
all suits upon judgments obtained out
of this State prior to June, Ist, 18G5,
not now barred and all writs of scire
facias to revive judgments obtained
in this State which are dormant shall
be brought by the first January, 1870.
The third section provides that all
actions cn bonds or other instruments
under seal and all suits for the en
forcement of rights accruing under
statute shall be brought by the first
January, 1870.
The fourth section provides that
all suits on promissory Dotes, bills of
exchange, or open accounts, or for
the breach of any contract shall be
brought by the first January, 1870.
The fifth section provides that all
actions against executors, administra
tors, guardians or trustees, which ac
crued prior to June Ist, 1865 shall
be brought by first January, 1870.
The sixth section provides that all
other actions upon contracts, express
ed or implied, or upon any debt or
liability whatever, which accrued
prior to June 1,1865 shall be brought
p v January, 1870.
The seventh section povides that
all actions for torts of any character
whatever, wjien the tort or wrong
was cammitted or where the right of
action accrued prior to Ist June,
! 1865 shall be brought by the fiist
January, 1870.
Owing to the length of thefact we
are unable to give it in full in our
columns. We have given a synopsis
of all of the important sections of
the act, and call the attention of our
readers to it. Those who have old
claims of any character whatever had
better look after them. A great
many judgments obtained prior to
June, 1865 are dormant and parties
owning such had bettei take steps to
revive them before first January,
1870.
COL. E. IIULBERT'S LETTER.
We give below a very interesting
and important letter of Col. Ilulbert,
giving his reasons for not paying in
to the State treasury montljv the
net earnings of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad. The idea ad
vanced by Col. Ilulbert in a recent
official report to the Governor, and
in the subjoined letter, as to the
permanent improvement of the State
Road is, in our judgment, a very
good one. It is true, if the course
he suggests is pursued, the monthly
payments of the net earnings will be
cut short for a while, but the money
will go into the road as a perma'
nent improvement and make the pro
perty far more valuable. When the
road is thoroughly repaired and im
proved as he suggests, we can look
for a long harvest of net income,
without expense, save the operation
of the road. Whatever may be said
of Col. liulbert’s politics, we think
all will admit that lie is a man of
great business capacity. We think
in these times he is the man for the
place :
IMPORTANT LETTER FROM COL. E.
lIULBERT.
W e.stern and Atlantic Railroad,!
Superintendent’s Office, >
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25. 1809. j
To His Excellenc, Rufus B. Bullock, (gov
ernor of Georgia ;
Sir : In response to your inquiry for my
reasons for the non-payment of the usual !
amount into the Scute Treasury for the |
month of October, from the earnings of the i
Western & Atlantic Railroad, I have to
state that the purchase of five hundred (500)
tons ur uv,.» tu:.,,. ..t
($30,000) dollars, to replace a portion of
those so worn as to have become dangerous,
together with an unusual number of cross
ties received and paid for at our last esti
mate, amounting to thirty-three thousand
($33,(L0) dollars, has exhausted our means
so tar as to compel me to postpone further
payments into the Treasury until such time
as the surplus has again reached an amount
justifying a resumption of payments.
We have fifty (50) miles o -id and bidly
worn rails, an early removal ' i which safe- i
ty and economy imperatively demand.
This will cost five thousand five hundred
($5, 500) dollars per mile or a total of two
hundred and seventy five thousand ($275,-
000) dollars.
During the last fiscal year we have laid
down nine and one-half (9i) miles of new
rail of an approved pattern, with Fish joints,
at a total cost of fi ty-two thousand two
hundred and fifty ($52,250) dollars.
This has been a heavy drain upon our re
sources, but has been met up to this time,
without interfering with our regular pay
ments.
The renewal, however, has not kept pace
with the rapid deterioration of the old rail;
hence the necessity of further immediate
and heavy expenditures for that purpose.
During the present month we hare paid,
as before stated, thirty-three thousand ($33,*
000) dollars for cross-ties.
Requiring some twenty thousand (20,000)
for immediate use, we advertised for the
same at a highly increased price, (same as
formerly paid,) which resulted in an unex
pected and unprecedented number being
placed on the line of Road—a much larger
number, iu fact, than our immediate wants
required ; but as the parties furnishing
them had dune so in good faith, it was deem
ed but j-ust that they should be paid—especi
ally as, in many instances, the parties were
pjor, had exnausted their means in fu<n'ah
iDg them, and could illy afford to wait until
such time as we might need them.
In numerous cases merchants had supplis
ed these persons with provisions on a cred
it until such time as they should receive
their pay from the Road.
The general failure of the corn crop on
the line of Road doubtless caused a much
larger number to be furnished than would
otherwise have been. +
In many instances payment for the tim
ber furnished was the only means the parties
had to enable them to purchase seed wheat.
A postponement of a settlement would have
caused much suffering. Under all the clr*
cumstances it was deemed best to pay. and
thereby relieve the necessities of those who
would otherwise have been placed in a dis
tressed condition.
My able and accomplished predecessor,
Major Campbell Wallace, in hie report for
1867, remarks as follows in a similar case:
“You will observe that the amount ref
ported this year for materials on hand is
greater by twenty thousand dollars than
tor last year. In the straightened anddis*.
tressed circumstances of our people, I cons
sidered it not only my duty, but good p dicy,
to aid as tar as practicable, such as lived
near the line of the Road to sustain and
support their families, without depending
on the gifts of the State or the benevolence
of private associat ons ; hence thousands of
cros6-ties and cords of wood, not needed
for immediate use, have been taken up and
paid for.”
Enclosed in the expenditures at this time,
is the cost of a Howe Truss Bridge, at Alla
toona creek, to replace the one substituted
for the culvert long since fallen down from
inferior workmanship.
The necessary removal of the debris of
the culvert will also involve a considerable
further expenditure, to be paid for as the
work progresses.
While on the subject of expenditure which
are immediately necessary, permit me to
remind your Excellency of the pressing de
mand upon us for the erection of fire proof
shops. The temporary wooden buildings
at present occupied f«»r that purpose, are ex
tremelv dangerous, and are rapidly falling
into decay. W’itnin the last year they have
: been accidently on tire, but it was fortun
ately discovered in time to save the build
ings, together with their valuable contents,
and thereby heavy loss to the State.
The very high rate charged by Insurance
Companies for risks upon buildings of this
character, Jilled with valuable machinery,
and generally crowded with locomotives
and cars undergoing repairs, the premium
amounting, as it would, to several thousand
dollars—would in a few' y ?ars erect first
class Fire Proof Building.
I cannot better state the very great im
portance of a iiLeral expenditure for their
erection, than to quote from tke Annual
Report for 18G7, of Major Campbell Wal
lace, in which he says :
“1 would recommend the immediate sub
stitution of brick buildings, as near tire
proof as practicable, for these unsafe wood
en structures. These buildings are ol such
combustible material, that we are in con
stant danger of serious loss by fire ; and al
though Atlanta can, with trtuhfulnesa, boast
of as prompt and faithful firemen as any
city on the globe, and although our tracks
are so arranged, that, in case of fire, the
larger portion of our engines and cars could
be removed beyond its ravages, such a cas
ualty could not occur without a loss in ma
chinery, shop-tools, and material, greaely
beyond the entire cost of new buildings.
Were the State Road my individual prop
erty, ] would not divert auothee dollar ot
its earnings, for any purpose whatever until
all our shops, and a suitable foundry inab
dition, were erected on the most improved
plan of fire-proof buildings. ”
The pressing demand for the erection of
a Union Passenger Depot at this place for
the comfort and convenience of the traveling
public should not be longer overlooked.
The commencement of this work is delay
ed only by the preparation of the plans
and specifications.
It will cost from seventy-five to one hun
dred thousond dollars.
This Road’s proportion of the cost will
have to be met at an early day.

NO RESURRECTION-DEATII OF A
Ell EE GOVERN MEN L- AN ELO
QUENT EXTRACT.
The following beautiftl extract i
from a speech delivered by 110
1). W. Yoorhees, of Indiana. I
is from the lips of a statesman and
schollar, the picture given by him of
a government that has lost its liberty,
is strong and beautiful, but not over
drawn :
It is a melancholy spectacle to behold a
free government die. The world, it is true,
is filled with evidence of decay. All nature
speaks the voice of dissolution, and the
highway of history and of life is strewn
with the wrecks which Time, the great des
poiler, has made. But the hopes of the
future, bright visions of reviving glory, are
nowhere denied to the heart of mansave as
bp er" oq (in the downfall of legal liberty,
lie listens mourufull to the autumn winds,
as they sigh through dismantle forests, but
he know r s that their breath w ill be o »it ana
vernal in the spring, a .and that the dead flow
ers and withered foliage will blossom and
bloom ogain. He sees the sky overcast with
the angry fruwn of the tempest, but he
knows that the sun will reappear, and the
emblazonry of God cannot perish. Man,
himself, this strange connecting link be
tween dust and Deity, tetters wearily,
wearily onward, under the weight of years
and pain, toward the tomb, but how brief
ly his life lingeis around the dismal spot
It is filled with tears aod grief, and the
widow and cypress gather around it with
their loving but mournful embrace. And
is this all ? Not so ! If a man die, shall
he not live again? Beyond the grave in
the distant Adienn Hope provides an elysi
ura of the soul where the mortal assumes
immortality, and life becomes an endless
splendor. But where, sir, in all the dreary
regions of the past, filled with convulsions,
wars and crimes, can you point your fingar
to the tomb of a free commonwealth on
which the angels of resurrection have ever
descended, or from whose sepulchre the
stone of desdotism has been rolled away ?
Where, in what age. and in what clime have
t e veins o‘c institutional freedom renewed
their youth and regained their lost estate?
By whose strong grip has the dead corpse
of the Republic, once fallen, ever been raiss
ed ? The mereiful Maker who walked upon
the waters and bade the winds be still, left
no ordained apostle with power to wrench
apart the jaws oj national death, and release
the victim of de.-potism. The wail of the
heart-broken over the dead is not so sad
to me as the realizath nos this fact. But
all history, with a loud, unbroken voice,
proclaims it ; and the evidenc of what the
past has been is conclusive to my mind of
what the future wilf be. Wherever in the
domain of human conduct a people, cnce
possessed of liberty, have surrendered these
great gifts of God at the command of the
usurper, they have never afterward proven
themselves worthy to regain their forfeited
treasure.
