PROPRIETOR
TIIOM JUNE 11, ’TO
dissolution of the firm of John
I. Hall and William T. Weaver, as Editors
and Proprietors of tqe Georqia llehald,
appeared in the Inst, issue. The dissolution
was not only mutual, hut perfectly satisfac
tory, as was sten from the tone and preval
ing sentiment, of Col. Hall’s valedictory.
Bu<;h boing the case, we can but allude to
it with appreciation, and sincerely wish,
that the hints cast may not be, as it were
“pearls cast before swine” to be unnoticed,
but may they be accepted by the good and
the wise, and may each and every citizen
of every class, and occupation, take an
tbiding interest, in the sheet, and thereby
make it, a truthful, uaelul, and number one
newspaper. As heretofore, its political
sentiments can bo found in the gists of its
articles, and appreciated by those who love
truth and hate error. May its success ever
fco as gradual, smooth and widening, as the
dancing cf the ripple upon deep and still
waters.
AX EXTRAC T OF PRESIDENT
GRANT’S MESSAGE OX THE DO
MINICAN TREATY.
President Grant in his message of May
?>lst, concerning the treaty between the
United States and the Dominican Republic,
approves of the annexation of that Repub
be to the United States. lie expresses it,
ns his opinion, that the obligations of this
Government in procuring the Island need
rot be more than $1,500,000, the amount
stipulated in the tieaty of November 28th,
18G9. Ho thinks that amount will pay
every just claim against the republic of San
Domingo, and loave a balar.ee sufficient to
carry on a Territorial government, until
such time as new laws for providing a Ter
ritorial revenue can be enacted, and put in
force. He deems its annexation desirable
by virtue of its geographical position. It
commands the entrance to the Caribbean era,
and the Isthmus transit of commerce, and
possesses the richest soil, best and most
capacious harbors, and most salubrious
climate, and the most valuable products of
the forest, mine and soil of any of the
West India Island. lie is anxious for the
ratification of the treaty, because he believes
it will redound to the glory of tho two
countries interested, to civilization, and to
the extirpation of the institution of slavery,
as well as for many other reasons assigned,
some of which may be given hereafter. lie
says r
“The doctrine promulgated by President
Monroe has been adhered to by all political
parties, and I now deem it proper to assert
the equally important principle the* here
after no Territory on this continent shall
be regarded as subject to transfer to a Eu
ropean Power.”
CONGRESS.
Congress is still consuming time in dis
cussing Tax, Revenue and Indian Appro
priation bills. As yet, no final action has
been taken on the Georgia bill, and from
present indications, we can safely say, that
none will be taken during the prescat sess
sion. If so, what will become of poor
Bullock ?
THE AMERICAN UNION.
The editor of the above sheet complains
that “rebels and traitors are listened to at
tho Capitol, and indeed throughout the
country, in the distribution of public
officers, and the ‘Radical loyals’ are neg
lected.” In this general remark the afore
said editor has committed a blunder. If
he had said that some of the “Radical loy
als” were neglected, we could not have
joined issuo with him, but simply endeav
ored, to defend such a policy. The govern
ment we believe, and all officials ii botli
Federal and State service who have had
offices to bestow, have generally given them
to their party. In some instances they
have been compelled to go outside of their
party, to get a competent man, &c. The
true cause of this complaint, of the afore
said editor, is, that he has nevor had an,
office himself. The aforesaid editor has
had his eyes and soul (if he has any) on
office ever since tho surrender, be has
gone to any extreme to get office, but all of
his efforts have failed. The Macon Post
Office was the “apple of this editors eye.”
But tho department found a more worthy
man in the person af H. M. Turney (ne
gro.) Turner was removed for some cause,
and the aforesaid editor “put in afresh” for
the office, but his efforts were all unavail
ing. The head of the department, not find
ing a man of his party competent, and who
could be trusted, appointed a “quasi” Re
publican. And these disappointments are
tho true cause of the editor’s dissatisfaction.
A man who is true to no cause, who has no
principle, and who seeks to give himself
notoriety by slandering decent white peo
ple, can never expect to succeed. It is true,
the government has been put to desperate
“straits” to get men at times to fill offices,
and has from time to time been guilty cf
some dirty things by appointing mean
negroes to office, but no department or
official has, as yet, so far forgotten their
8“lf respect, or gotten their consent to be
guilty of such an unpardonable offeree
against society, as to appoint the aforesaid
r iitor to office. The wholesale abuse of
the Southern people by the aforesaid editor,
after he had lived here for a long time,
aroused a very, just suspicion among the
officials generally. He is very well known.
Jttar Gov. Bullock has recovered frem bis
late ilhrcgy.
It is astonishing, hut nevertheless
true, that Buih>ck has disgusted Congress.
Hi- tune for influencing Congress has pass
ed. and we think tie had better come home
and look after his slander suit —Thomaston
Herald.
And how does this hack- woods, one
horse rebel country newspaper, the editors
of which never saw Congress, happen to
know so much about the feeling of that
body, the most of whose members are Pwad
icals.—American Union Empire State.
The above extract from tne Herald
made its appearance in both, the American
Union and Empire State, arid the above
comment on the aforesaid article appeared
in both of the said “dirty, radical thumb
papers” e-s original matter. It would
therefore seem that the Empire State, al
though it bears a different name, is a
duplicate only of the American Union.
The poor, second-class deluded brain of one
notorious, foul-mouth Swayzc, supports
both. The American Union says, in speak
ing of the article referred to in the Herald,
“And how does this back-woods, one-horse
rebel country newspaper, the editors of
which never saw Congress, happen to know
so much about the feeling of that body,
the most of whose members are Radicals?”
In response, we say that our information
was gotten from the newspapers, and North
ern newspapers at that, and not from asso
ciation with any member of Congress, as
we are careful about our associations.
You are right Swa}Zo, when you aav we
have never been to Congress We have
never so far lost our self-respect as to want
to see, even, the present Congress. There is
a good many things we never done, or nad
done to us. For instance ; wo never pre*
tended to entertain Union sentiments dur
ing the war, and when asked about it de
nied them. Wo never during the war
encouraged the rebellion, (as the war is
now eallod by yon, for want of better sense
and breeding.) by peeking Government
printing at low rates, and theu since the
war, denied that we ever gave aid and com
fut to the enemies of the United States.
We gave all the aid and comfort in our
power and have never denied it. We never
edited a little miserable sheet called the
“Bugle Horn of Liberty,” in imitation of
“Frank Leslie’s Illustrated News,” and in
said dirty paper spoke of and introduced
cuts not altogether becoming a tolerable
well bred dog, about some elegant ladies,
and for said editorial and cuts were “rode
on a rail” by some indignant friends of the
lad ies, and aftewards declared that it was
for Union sentiments that we were thus
treated. "We never after the war held a
“Bureau agency” and used the same for
the purpose of inducing the poor, deluded,
ignorant negroes of the country to leave
their healthy and peaceful homes and emi
grate West to the sickly valley of the Mis
sissippi, where they died like sheep with
the “dry rot,” and all done for the sake of
ten dollars per head.” Our “traffic in hu
man flesh,” as it was called by Wendell
Phillip*, was confined to the time when
they were slaves and not since they are
free. This nefarious traffic was kept up,
until somebody was driven by the proper
authorities from his aforesaid agency. We
never were introduced as a witness in an
important case, and after giving in our tes
timony, had a number of negtoes brought
forward, with whom we had previously as
sociated, and who when brought forward
testified, that they would not believe as “on
oath in a court of justice.”
There are a great many things that we
couid mention that certain parties have
done .and had done to them, that we have
never done or had done to us, but as time
is precious and the subject (J. C. S ) a
very worthless ono r we forbear.

BLODGETT AsTfIN aNUIER.
The present Treasurer of the State Road,
Harris, gv»eai« before the Investigation
Committee that the expenses of the road
under Blodgett for December, January,
February and March last were sl,l 2,879.
93, and the"receipts $1,06f, 136 84. showing
an excess of cash spent over cash received,
of $41,743 09. For the same months in
1808-9 under the expanses were
$274,005 25, and the receipts $400.828 57,
showing an excess of cash received over
cash spent, es $186.763 32. So Blodgett,
with $1,001,1*30 84 as the receipts fo>* four
months, puts the road in del t s4l 743 09
while Col. Hulbert, with but $400.828 57
as the rece pts for the corresponding f..ur
months, has put in the treasury $lB6 763
32 Under Ilulbert the total yearly receipts
were $2.238,480 02, of which SI.OOB 525 15
was paid to connecting roads. This rule
applied to Blodgett, subtracting $1U9.139-
92 cash received by Harris, his Treasurer,
would make about $600,00 as tho State
Road earnings for four months, or $140,0*4)
more than under Ilulbert.
So that while Hulbert, out of $4G0.828,s
57, made $186,763 32 for the Treasury,
Blodgett, witn $6)0,000, put the road in
debt $41,743.09. In other words, Blodgett
has spent over $360,000 more in the same
four months than Hulbert.
The Constitution, to which we arc in*
debted for these figures, seems bent on pil

sharp criticisms and unanswerable axposi
tion of the gross blunders and extravagan

A RACY LETTER. *
THE OoVKRX-iR OF IDAII > AND TUB STATE
RoAD.
From the Atlanta New Era
The spirit of “investigation” which has
•o stirred the bile of local politicians for
week* past, seems not to have wholly omit
*ed the correspondents, reporters and at
taches of the daily pr.-ss. So now that “in
terviewing” has become somewhat antiquat
ed, “investigating” very naturally takes its
place.
Under these circumstances, private pa
pers will sometimes find their wav to the
primer ; and this seems all the more natural
in view of the fact that, during such sea
sons if Investigation, papers and private
correspondence cannot claim immunity
I'om examination, the more especially
wheu the investigators are conjured, by ali
that is sacred and holy, to make a “clean
shrieking” of the work before them.
Thus it was that one of the Era reporters
came into possession of the following racy
letter, which he picked up, as he tells us,
somewhere about the Superintendent’s of
fice at the State Road Depot As this let
ter is very readable ;. ami, moreover, as it
is of interest to the public, we have conclu
ded to publish it and take the consequen
ces :
Western and Atlantic Railroad.)
Superintendent s Office, v
Atlanta, Ga., June3d, 1870. )
Dr. Samuel Bard, Philadelphia, Pa. —
Dear Sir : Your favor of the 29th ulr.,
with which you surrender your free pa«s
over this road, given you in January last as
editor of the New Era, and in which you
also iocl .se your card as editor of the “True
Georgian,”—thereby intimating your desire
for a free pass as editor of the last named
paper—has been received.
1 nar.d you., with my cnmplilmctits, a free
pass over our road os editor of the “Daily
and Weekly True Georgian.”
I fear, however, it will be ,f little Use to
you if you really believe the following state
merit, which occurs over your signature in
your Prospectus of “The True Georgian”—
“The State Railroad, which, under former
administrations, was an unfailing source of
of large and constant revenue, though its
gro*s receipts have greatly increased, has
almost ceased to contribute to ti c S ate
Treasury. The road, meanwhile, suffers
for want of necessary repairs, and is actual
ly looked upon as unsafe and dangerous ,”
etc
Now, if this be true, or, if you even be
lieve it to be t»*ue, I apprehend that you
would hardly put yourself in a position
where your life woutd be in constant and
unnecessary peril. Furthermore, if you
really believe what you say in your Pros
pectus. that fact will, in all probability,
preclude the possibility of your ever be
lieving otherwise; for I am persuaded that
no prudent man like yourself would volun
tarily put himself in the way of positive
dao„er or peril, merely for the purpose of
demonstrating to the world, and to his
friends, that the road is “unsafe and dan
gerou’S,” and, consequently, that what you
say is true ! Whilst i regret, therefore, the
unfortunate state of your mind which will
prevent y u from using the free pass, J
hope you will do me the justice to remem
ber that 1 consider the road perfectly safe,
and, consequently, do cot. by compliance
with your delicately insinuated wish, med
iate anything like violence to your person
or indulge the hope that you “ may perish
by the wayside .”
In conclusion, allow me to thank you
for your warm expressions of personal
fr c .dship, and your best wishes for my
happiness and success, and beg leave to
subscribe myself.
Your obedient servant,
Foster Blodgett, Sup’t.

We commend it to the careful perusal of

Wheat Bran for Horses.—The spirit of
the Times says : “Wheat hrm, given io
the form of mash, is the usual food for sick
horses; it relaxes the bowels • this proba*
bly depends upon mechanical irritation.—
Mashes are laxative, and of course debili
tating, hence should not be given to horses
that are to continue at hard work or fast
work. Many stablemen give bran once a
week ; they seem to think its indispen
sable; they talk as if the horse could not be
kept in health without it. This is all nons
sense. But to give bran rs a nourishment
to a h.rse under ordinary circumstances, is
to give him aim >st the dearest food he can
live upon, even when his work does not
absolutely demand more substancial food.”
BREAKING IT GENTLY.. *
When the lamented Judge Bagley trip
ped and fell down the Court-house stairs
ana broke his neck, it was a great question
how to break the News to Mr*. Bagley.
But finally the body was put into Higgins’
wagon and he was instructed to take it to
Mrs. Bagley. but to be very guarded and
discreet in his language, and n >t to break
the news to her st once, bat do it gradual
ly and gently. Waen Higgins got tnere
w th his sad freight, he shouted till Mrs.
Bagiev came to the door. Then he said :
“D >es the winder Bagley live here?”
r, The widow Baglay ? No, sir?”
“I’ll bet she dors But have ityuor own
way Well, (foes Judge Bagiev live here,”
“Yes. Judge B gley lives here.”
“I’ll bet her don’t. But never mind—it
ain’t for me to contradict, Is the Judge
in?”
“No, not at present.”
1 I jest expected as much. Because, you
know —»ake hold o’ euthin, mum, for I’m a
going to make a little communication, and
I reckon maybe it’ll jar yon sane. There’s

The Singing. —Our visit to the country
last Sabbath was soul-refreshing, henrt
delighting, and happy. The day \r»s
bright and beautiful, and we met many
young ladies and gentlemen who had as
sembled at Oak Grove Academy to pass
the time in cordial greeting, and sing the
“happy hours away.” Professor Pound
—musical editor of the Barnesville Gazette
—was present controling the melodies, and
contributing to the pleasures of the occa
sion. The Professor is a “ great singest ”
ar and has a thorough knowledge and practice
of the varied systems of music, and gave
instructive lessons and lectures to all who
were present and attentive. Many silvery
voices ourdened the air with sweetest song,
which was rendered still more pleasing and
attractive by the radient beauty arid sunny
smiles of the fair choristers. The great
singist is also a good-hearted mortal, and
his lessons of music and lectures on piety
left impressions holy and indeliible, in the
hallowed sanctuary of young and tender
hearts. We heartily approve such associa
tions. They are as improving as they are
entertaining, and mert five liberal patron
age of all refined and educated communi
ties who appreciate the blending of music
and morals. Prof. Pound is preparing a
new music book ; buy a copy everybody
and relieve his newspaper of its present
fa-so-la burden.
Very Old. — We met an old colored
“gemrnun” the other day, and being im*
pressed, from his appearence, with the be
lief, that he had lived to an extraordinary
old age, asked him his age. At the pro
pounding of this question, the old darkey's
face, “lit up” with smiles, which from their
sincere appearence, must have emanated
from the very bottom of his soul, and said j
“La Masa, I dunno zactly how old I is, but
I think il da good lor, send next tater dig
en time, I will he mos three hundred and
fifty year old.”
This is quite a ripe old age, and we hope
the good old “darkey” will live three or
four hundred years longer to enjoy free
dom.
The Cotton Cb>p—Estimates as to the
ex’ent ot the cotton crop last year vary all
the way from 2,5* Ch 00 to 3,500,000 miles.
The Daily Bulletin presents numerous sta 1 -
tistios to prove that the crop amounted to
fully 3,00 ,000 bales, 2.400.000 bales hav
ing already come forward Reliable South
ern advieee represent that toe supply still
remaining in the Central Cotton States is
about the same as a year ago, while large
quantities are held in the country back of
New Orleans. It in safe, herefore, to as
sume that the receipts from now until the
tir<t of September will not full short of those
for the same period of 1869 (viz : 595,000)
so that the Whole'crop of last may compu
ted at 3,000,000 bales.
