The State Road Lease.
The Columbus Enquirer, in relation
to the late lease of the State Road,
makes the following timely remarks:
“It is rather extraordinary that the pub
lio are permitted to know so little of the
bidding for the Sta/te Road, and es the secu
rity rejected and received. The simple an
nouncement that there were other bids
higher .than the accepted one, but that the
security offered by these higher bidders was
not acceptable, is not satisfactory to the
people of Georgia. On the contrary, it dis
closes a proceeding from which many are
very apt to infer that favoritism had some
thing to do with the rejection of some bids
and the acceptance of a lower one. Let the
people have light. Let the data be furnish
ed, from which they can make a comparison
of the bids and of the securities offered. It
is the common opinion that the road has
been leased too low for so long a time, and
that the lessees will make many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of clear money
out of it, while the State will uot draw six
per cent, per annum upon its investment. —
The fact that it has not lately been paying
even twenty-five thousand dollars per month
into the State Treasury is no evidence that
it caunot be madeto pay twice that sum by
efficient management and a policy looking
to profits of operation alone —a policy that
will pretty surely be the one of the lessees.
Let the press and the people demand a thor
ough ventilation of the lease.”
In addition to the above we have to
Bay, now that the lease is made, and
become a fixed fact, that it is especial
ly desirable that the people have laid
before them the securities given by
the company, so that they may see
that the security is ample and good.
We see it stated, generally, that the se
curities are large, amounting to some
twenty millions; but as these mostly
consist of various Railroads in and
out of the State, a question has arisen
not without weight, as to whether
these are good to the State. We have
heard the enquiry made whether the
the directors of these roads have au
thorized any such act upon the part of
the lessees to pledge their roach in
this way, as security to the State, for
the benefit of private individuals.—
For instance, can the Stock and inter
est of private stockholders in the
South Western Railroad, or any oth
er mentioned in the list of securities,
be made liable to pay for any deficit
or mismanagement on the part of
these lessees. Do their charters au
thorize it, and if not, is the security
taken by the Governor good, as is al
leged ? VV e should like to see some
thing more than a mere announcement
of what has been done; the people
have a right to a clear understanding
of the whole matter. Not questioning
the honesty of all the parties to the
contract, still, we desire to know exact
ly how the matter stands in all par
ticulars. Give us the data. Many
suppose that these Railroad securities
are not good because of the want of
authority to pledge them to the State.
If the road has been let at too little a
price, and this seems to be the prevail
ing opinion, still let us know, if, upon
failure to comply with the terms of
the lease, that the State shall not lose
that little, on account of the invalidity
of the security given Clearly, it
seems to us, that without express au
thority in the charters of these roads,
thus to give the roads as security, the
security thus given is not worth a fig.
Since writing the above, we learn
that Mr. A. H. Stephens has abandon
ed the company, as has also the Cen
tral Railroad, and that it is doubted
whether either of the roads offlred as
security, have signed the bond requir
ed by law.
H&T The Atlanta Era says that, “Car
te rsviile has a set of numbskulls who
w ondor why preachers do not work ev
ery day for a living, and preach on
Sundays tor nothing.
We would inform the Era that he
need not vex his righteous soul in rela
tion to onr people. All the churches
in Cartersvilie have made liberrl assess
ments for their preachers, and they will
be fully and promptly paid.

Paclwnq Line, Geo igia, 1
January 4th, 1870. )
Messrs. Editors: Though having no
desire whatever, to be termed a
reformer, yet I have somewhat to »ay
against a few things contained in “O.
I. CV communication in your valua
ble paper of Jan. 3rd iust.
I wish to do this, not in a spirit of
criticism, but that, perchance, some
positive good muv result therefrom.
j Well, the first nugget tion of “O. L C.”
is “how the young people may be pleas
antly spent.” Tis true “O. L C.” uses
I the phrase, “our young people,” mean
j ing, of course, the young people of Car
tersville. But, of course aga ; n, these
| suggestions are read by your thousand,
|or more, readers of the Express, and,
! consequently are suggestions to all
young people, readers of your paper.
“O. L 0.” suggests that the young
people may be spent. May be vpent !—
For what ? For mere amusement—for
pleasure chiefly.
The first suggestion, as to joining the
“Literary Society,” is good enough.—
But why lug iu the suggestion, that
each young man “bring her whom he
adores?” Does ‘‘O. I. C.” not know
that it is human nature for the sexes
to neglect every thing else, when they
are together, save each other's com
panionship ? And, we think, a Litera
ry Society would be better off without
the “her-whom-you-adore.”
The Social Club, in rem , is not a pos
itive evil. But, as “O. I. C.” suggests,
that its aims and ends, really, are to
aflord to bashlul boys a golden oppor
tunity of whispering words almost as
sweet as kisses etc., etc., etc.; and clos
es his paragraph with a strong and fine
appeal to young men, which sets forth,
in contrast, their lonely condition be
fore their fire grates, dreaming of what
happiness they might enjoy, with the
actual enjoyment consequent upon the
attending of a Social Club, we object.
Now, we have this to say against “O.
I. C’s. suggestions, that, in such cases,
the youths of the land would see too
much of artificial, and not enough of
the real life und character of each qth
er. If “O. I. C.” would have the young
men “a wooing go,” why not have them
visit their “Dulcineas” at home, where
life and character are exhibited in their
real forms ? Would there not be less
chance for practicing deceit by either
sex, and, consequently, less regrets in
after life? A “Social Club,” the aims
of which are no higher than those sug
gested by “O. I. C.,” in our opinion,
would fall far short of what a “Social
Club” should be.
“O. I. C.” does not wish the “Rink
to be forgotten, because it is a delight
ful place to roll away dull time.” Dull
tune. Aha! there is where the shoe
pinches. And, pardon me for remark
ing, that I heard, not many days ago,
an eminent divine say, Dull time is the
secret of all this. Dull time! Dull
time!! Why should time be dull?—
Why should time not be sharper than
a two-edged sword, when all we have
of it, is:
“A few short moments o’er,
And all is gone from us,
Or, rather, we ai e gone from all.”
Can time be dull, when there is so
much to be done, so short a time in
which it is to be done, and so few do
ers.
The fact that there are Skating
Rinks in Atlanta, and other places, is
no defense whatever, for an} r thing of
evil may be in all the places, and, yet’
be evil still.
As to deiights, we hardly think that
those young men whose arms were
broken, or whose joints were disloca
ted, and those young ladies who have
suffered from sundry falls, which gave
them bruises, would say that the sport
on the Riuk is so very , very delights 1.
That there is great danger to the
person, while performing ou the Riuk,
none will deny. That there is any
real good to be derived therefrom, we
believe, there is no one so bold to affirm.
There be many good men; who doubt
the innocence of a Rink.
We think that any one should be en
titled to express his opinion about the
“Skating Rink,” without being charg
ed with “mawkish modesty and mouth
ing morality.” It is bat fair, that while
“O. I. C.” is of the opinion that the
Rink is an innocent and a delightful
place of amusement, we should be al
lowed to differ from him.
But “O. I. C.” may be one of tin
bashful “boys,” who is trying to fix up
all these tricks to get away from bach
elordom; in such case we consider him
somewhat excusable. But, “O. I. C.,’
you are wrong. If you would win, go
b >ldly to the home of your “adored”
and settle the matter, for it is the prop
er place. We have no opinion of a
young man whom it requires a Litera
ry Society, Musical Club, Social Club,
Skating Rink, and prayer meeting to
marry off. 0. I. don’t C.

A Graifying Fact. —The white Rad
icals do not seem to be popular down
in Georgia. It is one of the most grat
ifying and interesting features of the
late Democratic triumph in that State
that the only two Radical State Sena
tors elected are colored men. The
white finds no favor there from the ne
groes —his color prejudices him The
intelligent voters likewise favor an in
digenous article, although heretofore
on the side of free trade in instances
like this, they vastly prefer the domes
tic to the imported commodity, and so
the carpet-baggers have had to take
their traps in hand once more, this
time to march back home to the bar -
ren hills and bleak mountains of New
England. Georgia says, in very em
phatic term, give us the original nig
ger rather than an imitation of the white
man; the negro to the manor born
rather than the itinerant political
mountebank from the North, who seeks
to force himself upon a community,
whether his presence is thought to be
desirable or not.
The result in Georgia foretells the
fate of these people in all the States of
the South. Their death knell has been
souudeef," and the negroes no less than
the real, substantial white people, will
hail the day with pleasure wnen the
last one of them Uas crossed our bor
ders, to return to plague us no more.
If we are to have Radicals at all, give
us negro Radicals. Deludeb as they are
at present, they have some excuse for be
longing to the Radical party; a moder
ately intelligent white man has none.

GEORGIA.
The returns of the Georgia election
present a prospect by no means agree
able to administration eyes. It is re
ported that five out of seven Congress
men to whom the State is entitled ar
certainly Democratic, with ev *ry prob
ability of tin remaiuiDg two going th«
same way. As to the Legislature, the
advices are that fully three fourths of
the members elected are Democrats;
which insures an impeachment of that
poor henchman of the vYhite House
Gov. Bullock, just as Gov. Holden, of
North Carolina, is now impeached for
letting loose a vagabond militia upon
the State unhappily delivered over to
his authority. Beyond all this, the
Georgia election decides that it is uot
possible for any President of the Uni
ted States, even one crowned with the
laurels of victory, to so far prevail over
the Anglo-Saxon predisposition in fa
vor ol liberty as to countervail a ver
dict at the polls by means of the bayo
nets and the influence put at his com
mand in virtue of his place. Further
than all this, the recent election in
Georgia demonstrates thnt the day of
repression is past. Before the war
South Carolina was taken to be the
type and embodiment of secession.—
Since the war, the State oi Georgia has
beeu considered the most intractable of
all the Southern communities. To
day, however, this commonwealth pre
sents itself as fully accepting the situ
ation, and it will be a perilous work,
we may assure the Republican majori
ty in Congress, to reject the vote just
cast. That said vote is against the Re
publican party is no reason to be receiv
ed by the American people as forming
au argument for the rejection of the
popular verdict. As the tree falls so
must it lie, and we take it that this
Georgia election will be allowed to re
main undisturbed. Attorney-General
Akerman has done his best; the ad
ministration has put forth its strongest
powers; the reconstructed State gov
ernment has exerted itself to the utter
most; it has been, iu the words of An
drew Jackson, an entire victory for -
mocracy, and must remain, to quote
Andrew J ckson again, “a square de'
feat. ” World.

THE LANGDON
FERTILIZER.

PURITY GUARANTEED.
W. D. JHANIf, Prop’r.
MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED (200)
PLASTERS TRIED
THE LANGDON FERTILIZER
this last year, and the MOST FAVORABLE
REPORTS are heard from it. Its PURITY and
STRENGTH are guaranteed. The value of
BONE PHOSPHATE
AND
COTTON SEED ME \L
as a manure, is known to every SCIENTIFIC
AGRICULTURALIST. These articles form the
bulk (4-5) of the "LANGDON,” to which are
added proper quantities ol POI'ASH, GYPSUm
and SALT. These five ingredients lonu the
compound.
IT IS A HOME PRODUCTIO .
Large Capital invested here in the Works,
affords a security for the guarantee of its PU
RITY.
HON. C. C. LMGDO.V
(Agricultural Editor Mobile Register,)
gives advisory supervision to the production of
this Fertilizer.
NO HIGH FREIGHTS from the far East, nor
LARGE COMMISSIONS TO AGENTS HERE,
have to be paid, as must be true of an article of
foreign (Northern) manufacture, and hence the
“Langdeu” can be sold, and IS SOLD CHEAP
ER, than any Standard Fertilizer in the mar
ket.
The COTTON SEED MEAL is produced at
the Works, and the RAW BONES are gathered
from the surrounding country and ground at
mv Mills.
FARMERS aUE INVITED to visit the Mo
bile Oil Mills and witness the operation of pro
ducing the Langdon Fertilizer.
Planters should instruct their Merchants to
buy for them
THE LANGDON FERTILIZER,!
Because it is a simple composition of articles
known to be good, and the Purity of
which is insured.
Because it is sold at a lower price than any ar
ticle of like quality could be, which is
brought from a distance.
Because it will give greater returns from its
use, pound for pound, than any other
Fertilizer, no matter what the price.
FROM THE MANY TESTIMONIALS from
practical men, these are here given;
Tuscaloosa, Ala., I
December 22d, 1870. J
Cot. W. I). Mann :
Sir.—Your Circular of the Is* inst. came to
hand. As we found the Langdon Fertilizer the
best that we tried, 1 give you my experience
with it. Our land is poor, red hill land. Used
200 lbs. to the acre. We used one ton of Gillam’s,
at $75; three tons of Zell’s, at SBS per ton; two
tons of the Longdon, at S6O per ton. The land
was all worked alike, and the some quantity
used of each. 1 did not keep the Weights of each
field separate, but attended to the picking and
weighing myself, and kbow that there was more
cotton gathered to the acre on the Langdon than
any other part of the place. The Zell’s was next.
From my own experience, and in the opinion of
all farmers who took notice of it, the Langdon
Fertilizer was far superior to any that we used.
Respeetlully yours, &0.,
C. H. FITTS.
Mr. Thomas 11. Kennedy, of Meridian, Mins,,
after recounting his experience in the use of the ,
Langdon Fertilizer, says: “When I lived on my
plantation in Alabama, I used many kinds of
Manure, but I uever used anything that would
begin to compare with the Langdon Fertilizer.” j
THE FRIGE AT THE MILLS IS S6O PER TON.
It is exchanged for Cotton Seed, 300 pounds, in !
strong sacks, delivered free on board boat or cars j
at Mobile, for one ton Cotton Seed, free at the 1
landing or depot up country—sacks and twine
furnished by the Mills.
Os its cheapness, Col. Langdon »ays: “Its j
cheapness—l am fully convinced that, at the ;
price now fixed by you, to-wit: S6O per ton, it
is much the cheapest fertilizer iu our market. j
Pound for pound, 1 consider it more valuable i
than the preparations that are selling at $75 to
SBO. For my own use, 1 would greatly prefer it
to Peruvian Guano at the same price.” Os its
merits, he says: “The result is the best Fertil
izer iu the world for our Southern lauds, in my
opinion.”
Again: “It contains more fully and complete
ly than any other, the elements neccessary for
the production of Southern crops and the reno
vation of Southern soil.
t rof. Charles U. Shepard, Jr., M. D., Professor
of Chemistry South Carolina Medical College,
and Inspector of Fertilizers lor South Carolina,
who made a full and careful analysis of the
Langdon Fertilizer, says of it: “It is a very su
perior article.”
I also crush at the milis, Raw Bones, which
are ground fine. Price at the Mills, $45 per ton.
Ground Raw Bone is too well known as a strong
Fertilizer to need comment. For trees, shrub
bery and grapes, it has no equal. The Ground
Bone of the Alobile oil mills is warranted to con
tain nothing but Bone.
