Endorse [Communicated.] J r Editor: We arc truly glad that Gov. Colquitt lies yielded to a sense of duty and signed the bonds of the Northeastern railroad. The Governor’s convictions in opposition to State aid and the abuses of this doctrine since the war, has been such as to make him exceedingly cautious and slow to give his endorsement. In this case he conld not have done less. The faith of the State had been pledged; a large number of the best citizens of the State had invested their means in the enterprise, actu ated by the plighted faith of (he >Stnte. In good faith they complied with the Constitution, and clearly V expressed wiU of the Legislature. Under the circumstances, to have refused the endorsement would have been a wrong to the people ot Noitlig east Georgia. After most careful Northeastern railroad. The bonds are endorsed, the road is a success. We tender our congratulations to the good people of Northeast Geor gia Where is Dr. Carlton? We should like to meet him just now. The Dr. started with the enterprise if he was n6t the original projector.- Ho was’ -the working man on all occasions, from the introduction ot the original hill until he had produced the last vestige of evidence and law to satisfy the Governor. But lie had his ups and downs. When tliiugs ran smoothly with his “ pet,” he was as smiling and kind and soft as a May morning, but whenever there was a hitch, he put on the harness of’ the dray horse and pulled and pulled and tugged anil tugged.and if the wagon did not come then Is he a Mctio li<! ? If so. w< won’t tell. Well, Dr , we congratulate you, beg pardon for any insinuations we liar* made, but if ever we get in trouble, we shall try and enlist your services. ti,. i_..r xr„_t. n BANNER: u jfe FEBRUARY 5, 1878. a! red "‘2 ■‘JC3NT - i ‘-5am ... - AH, • •“ : -2 rfx If THE ESTBY ORGAN, ■ ' ' . *V|?
