An important ease to planters, was

hiring thirteen laborers in the em
ploy oi plaintiff as field hands, in

by this verdict, juries have made up
their minds that such interferences
with labor shall be stopped.

Tike Georgia Democrat
and <2ie Larad Script.
In our last issue we saw 7 proper
to criticise an article which appear
ed in the Democrat of iho'Qth inst,
upon the action of Governor Smith
in donating the land scrip to our
State University. Said criticism
called forth .iu array ol defense —a la
Damour—in the last issue of the
Democrat, which we propose to no
tice for the purpose of laying the
facts before the public.
The Democrat commences its
defence thus :
“Because in thu last issue of our
paper we saw fit to denounce the
‘Ring’ that had seduced Gover
nor Smith iuto donating the Agri
cultural Land Scrip to Franklin
University at Athens, and because
another journal, without giving
credit, published garbled extracts
from our article, our contemporary
of the Appeal waxes exceedingly
wrath and charges us with having
acted ‘without reflection or investi
gation.’ ”
Now the facts are, the article in
question was published entire in
the Union, as it appeared in thp
Democrat—without modifying a
single sentence, the evasion of a
single word or letter , and without
even correcting the typographical
errors,.
Was this making “garbled ex
tracts
Is it possible the senior Editor of
the Democrat—who makes Macon
his home, where he can have, or
should have, the opportunity of
seeing what is printed in his own
paper before it is issued—is thus to
be imposed upon, and made to
say tilings which will not bear the
test of investigation ?
Wc have the proof in our posses
sion sufficient to convince the most
Stubborn that they were “just mis
taken” in the above declaration,
which can be seen by all desiring
so to do.
After proceeding at some length,
vainly attempting to sugar-coat
and modify their former article,
they say :
“Some weeks ago, at the earnest
solicitation of many influential cit
izens, wc were induced to establish
a paper in this city. In order to
avoid the expense attendant upon
purchasing office material, and for
the permanent establishment of
our enterprise, we negotiated ar
rangments with Dr. jas. A. Da
mour of Macon, w T hereby wc could
secure the publication ot our pg
por for the present, and only for
the present, as we intend, in the
fall*, establishing a complete news
paper and job office in Cuthbcrt.”
Iu face of this declaration we as
sert, without any fear of successful
contradiction, % that Dr. Jas. A. Da
lnour has not, nor never had a
press, pound of type, or any other
printing material in Georgia. He
is simply an employee in Swayze’s
office —bought for the purpose of
doing his (Swayze’s) dirty work,
and in “times like these” serves as
a .screeue to hide Swayze from the
outside gaze.
When it became known that
Swayze was proprietor of the Macon
Citizen, its days were numbered,
and it was soon forced to suspend,
lie then commenced the publica
tion of what is called “patent out
sides” for country papers, propos
ing to furnish printed outsides for
about the same as paid for blank
paper. We received more than one
such proposition ourself, • from
Swayze, but gave them ho notice.-
Damour was not known m the es
tablishment at that time, but wc
will show when and why he was
norated as the man of the business.
Several papers in Georgia, we
are sorry to say, entertained these
propositions to print their outsides,
hoping thereby to curtail expen
ses. Several new papers were also
started throughout the State—Sway
ze finding men who, forsooth, were
aspiring to editorial honors (?) to
assume the proprietorship and, if
possible, give them east in their re
spective localities. (Only four have
been started on* the line of the S.
W. R. It. by this scheme.) But
when the enquiry stal'ded down the
line, as to “ who was publishing
these papers,” then it was that
Swayze put his man Friday .upon
the stand, who would have you be
lieve that he did it —“ it was not
Swayze, but J that struck the blow.”
This chicanery was-necessary to the
salvation of not only the l< patent
papers,” but also to the very life
and existence of the American Union.
It was about this time Swayze
was boasting that he was able to
publish a regular red-hot Radical
paper in Georgia, and make money
by so doing. He knew full well his
late, should the facts become known.
lie is publishing ten or twelve
papers for different points iu the
State, which gives him control over
60 to 90 columns of advertising,
while the people pay all expenses,
leaving him the enormous proceeds
arising from this advertising space,
part of which is filled with “ offi
cial ” U. S. laws, seen only in his
jmpers. (See Georgia Democrat.)
Thus if is, the only Radical, scali
wag paper in Georgia is kept alive.
The cost of getting out these ten
or a dozen papers, is but little more
thabi would bo in issuing a seini
weoklv, as they all contain nearly the
same matter, while his “ machine
man ” —Dnmoure—grinds out edito
rials which 1 , nnder a slight pressure,
and a subsequent explanation, will
suit for all.
Knowing that some of our mer
chants and citizens were laboring
under a mistake as to the real
status of ilie “patent news paper
business,” has caused us to lay bare
the facts in the case. Having
done so, faithfully and candidly,
we now dismiss the subject from
our columns promising, in the future
to tiy and fill them with more profi
table matter.

A Tour Through Texas,
OR
Information for Emigrants.
On the 17th of Dec. 1870, I left
Cotton Hill, Gq., with a party bound
for Texas. We took the night
train tor Fort Valley, at 61 P. M.
Our party consisted of Mr. J. B.
Griffith and family, W. K. Ilicks
and lady, Mrs. S. A. Hicks, J. T.
Ilicks, Miss Laura V. Ilicks and
Masters J. J. and C. C. Hicks,
John Goulding and T. M. Allen.
We bid farewell to numerous
friends at the depot, with happy
hearts, hoping soon to see the
“ Land of Milk and Honey.” While
passing Cuthbeit, Ga., we were
charmed by some delicious music,
from swan-like voices *of some of
the fair daughters of Cuthbcrt.—
But alas 1 it was but momentary,
for we were soon hurrying onwartl
towards the land of promise. While
at Smithville I passed through the
Ladie’s Coach and found the most of
our party enjoying themselves in
the arms of Morpehus, and from ap
pearance, their thoughts were trav
eling through the Elysian fields of
dream land.
In passing Andersonville, the
place that the whole yankee nation
hates worse than they do the bot
tomless pits, I had the pleasure of
viewing the Stockades by Moon
Light. They are situated about
one half mile from the Depot and
are going to decay very fast. They
still serve to bring back a vivid
recollection of the once glorious
and magnificent, but much lament
ed, Southern Confederacy.
We arrived at Fort Valley at 2
o’clock A. M., finding every oue a
sleep, and the weather extremely
cold. After a considerable noise
and trouble we aroused the hotel
keeper, and found a fire - they, were
very much crowed and we had to
sit up the rest of the night. Our
Party here increased to 28. We left
for Columbus at 9A. M. Arm ing
there at 45 minutes after one P. M.,
and left immediately for Montgom
ery, Ala. Arrived there at BP. M.
and left immediately on the M. &
M. R. R. for Mobile. We procured
emigration tickets in Montgomery to
New Orleans,, for seven dollars.—
Our party increased here to about
eight hundred, we made blit slow
progress on this road, and being so
very much crowded it was impossi
ble to sleep any. Wo arrived at
Tensaw, at 10 A. M. on the 15th,
and went immediately on board of
the Steamer St. Elmo, and was soon
on our way across the Mobile Bay.
We passed near Ft, Gaines ; it
showed signs of the late war very
distinctly. The guns and morters
have all been dismounted and were,
lying near the water, there were
numerous ships and steamers here,
from all parts of the world, but the
one we most desired to see was not
there, it left for New Orleans an
hour before our arrival, I will
leave the description of the city of
“Mobile, for someone that is bet
ter acquainted with it. The Agent
of the N. O. M. C. R. R. fur
nished us a special train to N. O.
We left Mobile at 6 P. M. very
much relieved, for we had become
very tired of the mud. This is one
of the smoothest roads I ever rode
upon and very strait. It is built up
on trestle work af.fi runs over water
and through the marsh all the way.
This road looks very dangerous, but
from the speed at which they travel
it seems they are not afraid of it—
they traveled at the rates of 30
miles an hour the most of the time.
We arrived in New Orleans at
10 A. M. on the 16th. It # is called
the “descent City,” and I think it
deserves the name. It was almost
impossible to move here for the.
drummers ’and cab drivers. Here
let me*advise all young peop’e that
expect to go west, not to listen to
what any of them have to say. -If
you want any information ask the
Police, they are always near and
ready to give all the information
they can.
I here parted with all of our par
ty except John Goulding, we went
on board the Steamer 13th Era,
bound Texas, and the
dthers went to Galveston and from
there to Town Bluff, Tyler County
Texas.
We found a great many passen
gers on board and the trip hid fair
to be a pleasant one, although we
would not reach Jefferson under a
week. We had a very pleasant
trip up the Mississippi and Red
Rivers. At Alexandria, I was left
alone for the balance of the trip.
There was a Theatrical Troupe on
board, and they made the time pass
very agreeably.
Wo arrived at Shreveport, La.,
at 2 P. M. the 20th—four days out
from N. O. I went a shore with
Col. Haynes, and strolled through
Uie city 7. Shreveport is the
diest piace I ever was in. There is
a great deal of business done here,
and at present it is the Eastern .ter
minus of the Southern Pacific It. It.
We left for Jefferson at 10 P. M.
and entered the lakes at 6 o’clock
A. M. 21st, and arrived at Jefferson
at 4 o’clock P. 31. 22nd.
T. M. A.
Georgia Legislative Expenses-
Mr. Voorhees, in his late speech
in the House of Representatives,
has the following upon Legislative
expenses in this State:
Sir, I hold in my hand the official
statistics on which I make this
charge. The reports of the comp
trollers general of Georgia show
that for eight years, commencing
with 1855, and ending with, 1862,
there was expended for the pay of
members and officers of all legisla
tures during the entire period the
sum of $866,385 52, This is the
record of the administration under
the management of her own citizens.
During the two years’ existence of
the Republican Legislature elected
in 1868, the report of comptroller
general shows that there was expen
ded for the pay of its members and
offiers the startling sum of $979,055,
only a fraction less than $1,000,000.
One Legislature is thus discovered
to have cost $112,668 47 more than
the Legislatures of eight previous
years in the single matter of its own
expenses. There had been no in
crease in the number of members.
On the contrqjy, there are fewer
now than under the former appor
tionment.
In earlier times the clerk hire Os
the Legislature of that State did
not average over SIO,OOO per annum.
That item alone reached the sum of
$125,000 for the one Legislature
whose conduct I am discussing;
more than equal to the expenditures
011 that account of any ten years of
the previous history of Georgia.
Her General Assembly consist of
175 representatives and 44 Senators,
making 219, taking both branches
together. The record discloses 104.
clerks in the employ of this body
while the Republican party had the
ascendency there. One clerk for
every two legislators is a spectacle
which 1 commend to the considera
tion of the American tax payer and •
voter everywhere. Who can doubt
that such a body was organized for
the purposes of robbery and extor
tion ?
Peace in Georgi.f-Homc
Mule.
Georgia is to-day, the most’peaco
ablc and prosperous State in the
South. The hirelings ofGra nt, have
gone to their Northern homes.
Governor Bullock and Foster Blodg
ett, two of the most infamous yul
tures ever fastened upon anvpeople,
tied the State, and are now fugatives
from justice in Canada. Other rob
bers of notoriety soon followed
the leading birds of prey, and to-day
Georgia is free—from soldiery gild
detectives, cut-throats, hired asas
sms, and swift politick'd witnesses,
after the fashion of those little Jacob
son marshals together at Jackson to
convict and advance the internets of
the party .of thieves and national
plunderers. We congratulate the
Georgians upon becoming masters
of the situation ; for their deliverance
from the clutches of the carpet-bag
vagabonds, arid for the gallant effort
they have made in behalf of the full
redemption of the State.
What is true of Georgia may be
said of every other Southern State.
Remove the reconstiuetion vampires,
give the people undisputed self Gov
erment will cease, fraud
will be crushed and the colored man
have all die rights and liberties he
demands. Man can then tread the
earth once more in all his. f’onier
pride of hope and happiness ; the
garden, the orchard and the harvest
will flourish again; while the cotton
and the cane, the rice and tobacco
fields will be made to bloom and
3'ield as of yore. We only need
the removal of the men who mis
govern our State govenments, and
an honest selection at the ballot
box, to restore peace and order,
and make the mists and shadows of
our dark hours disappear and fly
•heedlesly by. Without this change,
t,hc picture of peace and prosperity
we have painted will never gmdden
the eye.— Vicksburg Herald.
Tiie Remains OF Col. Ames.—
The Macon Telegraph and Alea
enger of Sunday says :
Mr. John Ames, of Syracuse,
New York, the father of Colonel
Charles T. Ames, the well known
and popular circus proprietor who
was killed at Dawson a year or
more ago, has been in this city a
day or two for the purpose of re
moveing the remains of his son to
their final resting place in Syracuse.
He left with them yesterday on the
afternoon Atlanta train over the
Macon & Western Railroad. We
are sue Mr. Ames has the sincere
sympathy of the community gener
ally. in his sad errand. His son
had made himself very popular in
this section, by his courtesy, fair
. deanling and general cleverness, and
his death was universally mourned.

Dr. lluston.— A dispatch of the
Bth mat. from Baltimore to the New
York Herald, says that the Sommit
tee appointed by the Methodist
Episcopal Conference to investigate
the charges against Rev. Dr. Huston
will report the charges fully proven,
and that the report “will undoubtely
show a degree of crime on the part
of this Dr. Huston such as this coun
try has seldom known. 5 ’ The dispatch
also states that Huston prefered
counter charges against Dr. Mun
sey, a principal witness against him,
but that an investigation showed
them groundless.

A Warrant Issued fbr
Bullock’s Arresl lor La r
cenj.
. The Augusta Constitutionalist con
tains a brief notice of the fact that
a warrant for Bullock’s arrest was
out. The facts have been in our
possession for some time, but with
held for reasons ot sound policy.
It is unfortunate that the matter
lias crept into the newspapers at
this stage of the grme.
As the matter is out, wc give the
details.
The mortgage of $60,000 on the
State House bought from Kimball
was not discovered until after the
purchase. Kimball secured the
State by a deposit of 5i20,000 of
Atlanta city bonds in the Execu
tive office. Those bonds were ab
stracted by Bullock, sent by him
North, sold by Henry Clews <fc
Cos., and the money appropriated
to private use. The offense was
“Larceny after a Trust.”
An affidavit was drawn by Gen
eral Toombs carefully conforming to
the Georgia law, and thereupon a
warrant issued for Bullock’s arrest.
Governor Smith made a requisi
tion on Governor Hoffman, of New
York, for Bullock, through Colonel
John B. Cumining, of Alacon, as
the State’s agent. Colonel Gum
ming had previously ascertained
the whereabouts of Bullock, who
has ”been ‘oscillating from New York
to Canada, staying principally at
Medina and Albion.
Governor Hoffman objected to
the affidavit as being defective,
mentioning his objections, among
which the chief was that in the ab
sence of an indictment the affidavit
should be very full.
On the return of the papers, Gov.
Smith re-drew the affidavit, with
the Suite and. Federal iaw before
him, and with a special reference to
the objections of Hoffman. The
second affidavit was very full,* cov
ering three or four pages of legal
cap", and framed with exceeding
particularity. The papers were
sent again, and arrived in Albany
on Saturday two .weeks ago, Gov
ernor Hoffman being absent. On
Monday he returned,*and the affi
davit was again objected to.
At, this juncture Governor Smith
lost his patience, lie telegraphed
to his agent to state to Governor
Hoffman that he was.now satisfied
that Governor 11. did not mean to
deliver up the fugitive from justice;
that he was convinced he could not
frame papers' to meet Governor
Hoffman’s quibbles, and for the
agent to withdraw the documents
and return home.
On Tuesday morning Governor
Hoffman approved the requisition
and issued the warrant. That night
00l Gumming left Albany to exe
cute the warrant, hut the bird had
flown. In Bullock’s stables was
found a saddle horse very milch,
jaded and lamed, indicating imme
diate. hard usage. Nothing Ims
been heard of him since.
The probabilit.es are very strong
that the delays over the papers
were to give Bullock time to flee.
Governor Hoffman,, as the case
now stands unexplained by him, is
open to damaging reflection.
These are the facts of this grave
matter. It will he' a satisfactory
day for Georgia when the great
chief of her Radical plunderers is
bronghtback to meet the justice so
richly due him. —Atlanta Con
stitution.
A movement is said to be on foot

panies.
