Good Noivs for OpcrntorM.
Good news for the operators who join
ed in tbo strike on tho Central railroad
has bccu received by E. It. Dozier, di
vision chief of the Order of Railway Te
legraphers in Macon. It came in the
shape of a letter from Chief Operator
Ramsey of tho order and stated there wns
asum between $6,000and$8,000subject to
his draft. This money will be drawn and
used in payipg the men at the rate of a
dollar a day for the time that has elapsed
since the strike begun on tho 10th of De
cember. The chief operator also requests
the divison chief to send him a complete
list of the striking operators and their
places of residence. The amount to bo
used in paying the men is appropriated
in what is known as the protective fund
of tho order which now amounts to some
thing like $75,000.

HI, Money Involved.
The Atlanta Journal says: O. C. ifu 1 -
ler, acting as examiner, is engaged in
Inking the testimony of State Railroad
Commissioner Fort in the case of the in
ters tatc commission against the New Or
leans and Texas Pacific and Western and
Atlantic and the Georgia roads. This is
a test case involving thc>long and short
haul clause and a va9t amount of money
to the railroads of the country. If decid
ed agaiost them, for instance, it will
cost tho Georgia railroad alone upwards
of $500,000 a year, and tho railroads
all over the country in proportion. In
order to illustrate the principal point
in ibis test ease made by the interstate-
commission, it is only necessary to state
that less freight is charged on buggies
shipped from Cincinnati to Augusta, Ga.
than on buggies shipped from Cincin
nati to Social Circle; although Augusta
is 100 miles beyond that point. Judge
Newman of the federal court, will take
up this large, important aud interesting
railroad case—the biggest now on any
docket in this country—in a few days. -‘

Deserved Pardon.
Governor Nortlien grunted n pardon a
few days ago, behind which is an inter
esting story. A. J. Burnett is a whito
man who wns convicted of manslaughter
pcvernl yoars sgo by the superior court of
Crawford county. lie lind a son, a part-
nor in the crime, and they have both
served out their terms with the exception
of n few months. Tho father wns sen
tenced for threo years. He took tho enso
to the supremo court after a hard strug
gle iu the superior court of his county,
and was about to bring on n long trial in
tho high court, ilo linally gave out tho
notion of contesting it any further, and
dcoided to turn himself himself over to
the authorities nnd servo out his throo
years in the state jjfinitcDt.iary, lie
went to tho penitentiary department
nt tho capitol and told the authorities
there that ho wns ready to bo takou to
tho camps and called a halt in the pro
cedure of the cos# in tho supremo court.
He was a man of high character, well-
known at home as a thoroughly honest
man, and deserving the confidence of all
the neighbors. Ills thorough frankness
before the keeper of tire stnlo penitentia
ry was such as to inspire tho keeper that
hero was u convict wilt whb ns noot a
gentleman ns convlotaf ever get to be.
When ho told tho kiVperthat ho was
ready to bo taken to tho comps, and gave
himself over without further hesitation,
that officer told him to go to the camps
as soon ns he fixed his business at homo in
loudition for departure, Und the man wont
.o thu convict camps unguarded nnd with
no handcuffs on his arms. He went vol
untarily nud atone, and gave himself up
to the convict guards, taking with him
his papers of conviction and telling thorn
that he had come to woik out’his len
ience. This is, perhaps, tho only case on
record when a convict, in the state of
Georgia has taken himself to the convict
camps without a sheriff or a guard at his
side. It was Bbown to the governor that
Burnett has conducted himself most be
comingly whilo nt the camps, and that
bo has served nearly all of his time there,
ft was further shown that there wns no
positive evidence that he wns guilty in
the first placo, and that tho jury that
tried tho case, and tho judge who sen-
tcuced him united in tho appeal for clem
ency.

Georgia ftclioola.
An enumeration of the school popula
tion of Georgia will bo made this spring.
This was decided at the meeting in At
lanta a few days ago of the state board
of education. It was also decided thet
history should be taught in tho common
schools of the state. The board met in
the office of State School Commissioner
Bradwell. Every member was present,
Governor Northern, Secretary of State
Cook, Comptroller General Wright,
State School Commissioner Bradwell,
Attorney General Terrell and the secre
tary of tho board Mr. Robert Gaines.
The accounts lor tho last quarter wero
approved and then the appeal case from
Pike county was taken up. The negro
teachers for Pike who made contracts
for certain sums asked to be paid by tbo
number of scholars they hud. The county
school commissioner refused to grant
their petition and tho case wna carried
to the county board, which sustained tho
decision of the commissioner. The case
was carried to the state school commis
sioner, who sustained those below him,
aud it was appealed to the state board.
The board'sustained the ruling that had
been made. Then the ease from Cobb
county as to the uso of history in the
schools was considered.
Commissioner Bradwell recently in
structed county boards of education that
they only had tho right under the law to
prescribe the text books constituting tho
curriculum of the common schools. Or-
thogrephy, reading, writing, English
grammar, geography and arithmetic.
History had beeu prescribed in the
schools of Cobb county nnd the board of
education there appealed from the decis
ion of the commissioner on this point.
The board annexed history to the list.
The action of tho bonrd makes history a
compulsory study and allows county,
boardB to prescribe what history shall be
used.
Tho board decided to have an enumer
ation of the school population of tbo
state made. The law says this enumer
ation must be made every ten years, but
it can be made every live yest j. It has
been five years siteceUthis enumeration
was made, the sumbec of the uqquUU95
then being 000,281. The population now
will remount to about 050,000. Btata
School Commissioner Bradwell will hare
charge of tho work, which will cost be
tween fifteen und twonty thousand dol
lars, He thinks it will bo completed by
May.

And Recounts Some of I lie north »f Val
id' of the Hero of New Orleans,
Just seventy-eight years ago to-elar,
(January eighth) there weis fought
a memorable battle, tho most ex
traordinary perhaps, that is recorded in the
annals of all history. It. wjvm not a very groat
battle,for there wero only 18,000 men engaged.
It dill net last but forty minutes,and yot its ro-
sulta were wonderful, and thoir influence is folt
to tills day, and will continue) to be felt as long
IIS this government exists. If thnt battle lied
been fought he old England or Now England
or in any other nor I lime state of this Union, it
woulel leave boon celebrated i„ „torv and la
song by orators nud poets,and boon a landmark
in history, a boeecou light of uonrago and pa
triotism and generalship in bright anil an en
during nee llohonlindou or Thermonvlae
Bunker's Hill. '*
But it wan fought at- Now Orleans, away elnwu
south in Dixie, by southern men, who wero un-
dor tho ban—the ban of tolcrutlng and defend
ing slavory—the ban or being barbarians. The
foileralists of Now England lead onpoeeod the)
war with England, and they gave only a reluc
tant praieeo to Juokson for hit victory, for they
foaroel that it would make him popular with
tho masses who wero fast settling up the west-
orn ntatcee. And it did. The victory was »o
amazing, so unexpected. 0,000 southern men,
armed with ol 1-fashlonod rifles, ami unexperi
enced in modem warfare, pitied eigaimit 13,•
000 English Iroopa, the flower of Wellington’),
army, that had jiiBt a few months beforo con*
qnored Napoleon and retired biin from Paris to
Elba; and yet those rough, untrained soldiers
did, lu forty minutes, kill 3,000 of tho enemy
aud put tho re-at to flight, anil tout only eight
killed and thirteen wounded of their own side.
Where does history record ancle a victory?
There waa no fooling about that bitsinesH. Those
riflemen hadn't limited boar and wolves and cat
amounts and shot squirrols’ eyes out all tlioir
lives for nothing. Their fathers bad fought
old England in the Bevolullonary war, and the
sons had no lovo for tho Britishers. Wash
ington city, tho capital of tho Union, was
then ill tho hands of tho British, but those
southern patlrots colioeil Jackson's oath when
lie swore by tho eternal they should not taka
New Orleans. Ho had already driven them
from Pensacola anil Mobile, amt bad scattered
the Indians from hill and hollow aud blown up
a fort with 300 runaway negroes iu it—negroes
that tho British were not only protecting, but
wero inching to a merciless warfare upon the
families of the absont soldiers.
Wonderful man lliat Jackson, for be had to
light foes without and foes within. Thoro was
no telegraph to bring him orders from Wash
ington. and when tho mail brought them iu
tho old-faahloued stage li» had already elono
what they forbade or what they commanded.
It maelo but little difference) to him. Ilo con
sidered bis commission ns major general in
command of tho southern division, its a ‘‘carlo
bhtnuho'' to do just as be pleased for tho public
good—and lio did it. Ilo was king atuf auto
crat. General Winfield Hoott reported bint as a
mutineer for not obeying orders, and bo de
nounced Hoott as a currion-feel buzzard, and
thon challenged him. Ho would light anybody
iu defouso of his own honor or that of a wo
man. Ho nevor allowed any reputable woman
to bo maligned in bis presence, not oTcri by a
hint or a whispor. Ho brolto up his oabinot bc-
causo Mrs. Jolm C. Calhoun and Mrs. Berrien
refused to asHooialo With Mrs. Eslon. Ho was
always Blow tee boliovo charges against a woman.
Jackson was the first imUifler, for ho absolute
ly refused to execute tho mandates of tho eu-
promo court unless they coincided with his
views. When tho state of Goorgia rofttaed to
recognizo tho claims of tho Indians within her
borders and was in open conflict witli tbo fed
eral government, Jaokson withdrew the troops
and nworo l>y tho oternal that the red-haudi d,
blood-licking Indians should havo no state
witlein a state! He had beon lighting Indians
for years, and knew tlielr treachery and tlioii
brutality. But bo was a great, big-hearted,
noble man—a diamond In tho rough. Ho
l-noed, bo bet, ho gambled, ho swore and bo
fought duels, hei was always forlho oppressed
and the helpless, and always the protector and
tho dofendor of woman. Even if her hus
band was the oppressor, lie sought
a quarrel with him about it,
and generally got satisfaction in somo way.
What a will ho had, anil what a will power over
men—even such men as Tom Benton anil Gass
and Blair and Ghlof Justice Taney. He waa
the first president who said turn tho rascals out
—and he turned (hem. From 178# to 1829
thoro had been but seventy-four removals from
ofllco, but Jackson turned out 3,000 tbe first
yoar of lets presidential service. He determined
to break up the United States bank, because be
said it was being used for plunder anil political
purposes, and so he ordered McLean, tho secre
tary of tho treasury, to remove tho deposits.
McLean declined. 8o lee removed McLean and
appointed Duane. At the last moment, Duane
declined because it was illegal. He removed
him and appointed Bogor B. Taney, and ho re
moved them, and all tho people said amen. He
declared afterwards that, if Taney lead foiled
him, ho would have removed the deposits him
self. He was as determined as Cromwell, when
lee onoe made up his mind. Ho and Sam Hous
ton nud Davy Crockett had fought together and
bqnlrcd together,and a hundred times imperiled
and the British,“and they' wero all of I he same
•tripe and type, and lead a moeiauro of contempt
for courts anil laws and for tho aelstoeracy of
weaith, He put New Orleans under martial
law, and the judge fined him *3,000. Ho put
tho jndgo ire jail and kept ore his course as
though nothing had happened. When Florida
belonged to Spain, and was occupied by lawlees
people from different countries ami disorder
was universal and hideous, Jackson wrote to
President Mouroo for loave to go down thine
and regulate tbo concern. He didn't get ee re
ply and concluded It ought to bo done anyhow,
notwithstanding that Spain owned tho country,
and so ho organized a littio army of 2,301)
southern men, and marched tleero and turuod
tho Spanish rascal) out of their own offices in
Halt Augustine anil 8t. Mark), ami arrestee!
every outlaw ami killed every hostile Indian lee
could find and hung some Englishmen because)
they couldn't give a good nccouut of what thoy
wore doing—and, within a year, Spain got
tired of demanding satisfaction for his out
rageous invasion and sold the stats to the
United States government.
But this Is enough of Jackson. He lived long
and lio lived muoli. His whole li fo Was marked
by truthfulness, integrity and courage. No
wonder that tho good peoplo of New Orle ans
eclebrato this day, and thus hand down feoni
generation to gene ration the memory of ono of
t)io moat remarkable victories ever achieved.
I lovo lo road atiottf it tend to contemplate it,
for it was all tbo horoism of southern people
-people whose sons fought at Kbllolt and Cor
inth anil Vicksburg. And It Is a comfort lo
know that, although Jackson left no children,
yot tho soo of his adopted Bon set veil in the
confederate army, in which ho wees a colonel.
Now, let tho boys read tip Jackson and pon
der him, and avoid his e mm soil, imitate his
virtues. It will, perhaps, surprise them to find
that this great battle was fought just two weeks
after peaco heed been niaele at Gbout, a city in
Belgium, but there was no telegraph or sub-
marine cable then to bring the news. If there
lead been, then 2,B00 live s would leave been
saved, and, peebaps, Jackson would havo died
without becoming famous. It will bring a
'glow to tlielr southern prtriotiam to know that
ftlec men who fought unde r Jackson wero tho
tfathers and grandfathers of tho name men who,
only 700,000 strong, all tohl, did for four long
