THOMASTON, GA, FEB. 5, 70.
NOTICE.
Our subscribers whose Post-office
is in Thomaston will find their paper
in our mail box at the Store of Suggs
& Olipliant, in Cbeny k Allen’s new
brick building. These gentlemen will
take pleasure in delivering the paper
to subscribers.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Although both Houses were or
ganized eight or ten days ago, they
have done nothing as yet, except to
re-adopt the fourteenth amendment
and adopt the fifteenth amendment.
It may seem strange to see the re
adoption of the fourteenth amend
ment, but it was done because the
Governor declares that all legislation
since July, 1868, is a nulity. The
fourteenth amendment was by reso
lution of the Legislature adopted
since that date, and hence the neces
sity, in the opinion of the Governor,
for a re-adoption. The Governor’s
message was transmitted to each
House on Wednesday last. There is
nothing of interest or importance in
the document. It is a very great
display of bitterness, hate and weak
ness.
CONGRESS.
If recent reports he true Congress
has not yet concluded to let Georgia
alone. Having obeyed the behest of
the Governor by passing the recent
Georgia bill, and becoming dissatis
fied with his (the Governor’s) man
agement of thing 0 , the members are
seriously considering further action.
It is known to be the opinion of
Senators who were foremost in advo
cating the late Georgia bill, that, that
measure "was only intended to re-or
ganize the Legislature so as to seat
the expelled negroes and ‘ : oust” mem
bers who were inelligible under the
fourteenth amendment. They are
Ljr no means satisfied with affairs
down here, ana speaK ur
Gen. Ruger still the Military Gov
ernor, and ordering anew election
for all the officers of tbe Slate from
Governor down. It is generally un
derstood that Congress will not per
mit another election of United States
Senators, but hold that Hill and
Miller were properly elected.
Projected Canal. —A writer in the
Brunswick Appeal thinks that a canal
through Fkuida, from the St. Mary’s
river, Georgia, to some point on the
Gulf, would create a great revolution
in the carrying trade of the Gulf and
Western States, and benefit not only
the South, but the whole country.
It is believed by many that a canal
joining the waters of the St. Mary’s
and Suwanee rivers could be made at
comparatively little cost.
Cuba. —The news is important
from Cuba. General Fueller, the
Spanish leader, has received a sharp
defeat. Gen. Jordan, who thrashed
him, has been made Commander-in-
Chief of the Cuban forces in place
of Quesada. The latest accounts in
dicate heavy Spanish reverses.
VG&m Gen. Canby has issued his
order relinquishing control of civil
affairs in Virginia.
A good example for Gen. Terry.
Woman’s Right*—Susan Anthony Tins
Irrepressible Rooster of the Concern.
—lt is pretty generally knewn that the ad
vocates of female suffrage are divided into
two hostile parties—one led by Miss An
thony ml Mrs. Stanton, and the oth r by
Lucy Stone and Henry Ward Beecher.
The latter has been for sometime past en«
gaged in the vain attempt to bold a meeting
without the presence of Miss Anthony. The
failure of Mr. Dick to keep King Charles
the First out of his history was no less con
spicuous than is the fhilure of the followers
of Mr. Beecher and Mrs. Stone to keep Miss
Anthony out of their conventions. They
recently went to Cleveland, thinking to thus
get rid of her; but no sooner had they or
ganized a convention thau Miss Anthony
made her appearance, brimming over with
innumerable resolutions, which she per
sisted in offering, until the convention dis*
solved itself, to sheer self-defense. The
unhappy members next fled to Boston ; but
even there the redoubtable Miss Anthony
turned up, in exeelent condition, with a
fresh supply of xeeolutions, and with aa
indomitable purpose ot monopolizing tho
entire time of the- helpless convention.
There is evidently no place so remote or so
undesirable as to offer an asylum-whsre the
anti-Anthony party can meet, with the
reasonable hope of escaping from ths pres*
ence of their determined oppressor. They
haA better yield to the inevitable. While
Mias Anthony lives she will attend any
convention which they may organize, and
while she has breath enough to speak she
will offer resolutions inexhaustible in quan
tity and interminable in length. Go it
Susan.— s. r. Wovld „
Answering Argument with Mud. — No
sooner does Mr. Dawes —like Mr. Wells, a
man of honorable reputation, against
whose integrity no one has ever before ut
tered & whisper—no sooner does Mr.
Dawes speak fur the people against the
monopolists and jobbers, and show up
waste and corruption, than instantly bis
motives are also impugned, and an attempt
is made r.ot to answer his statement, which
these jobbers feel to be unanswerable, but
to cast doubts upon his character. It will
not do ; it is to* late to deceive the people
by such clumsy and dishonorable means.
Let the monopolists answer Mr. Wells and
Mr. Dawes ; let them show these gentle
men mistaken ; when they do that they
will not need to call names. But they pre<?
fer to call names ; and sensible people will
understand why.— N. Y. Post, (Rad.)
