For The Courant. Reminiscences of the Cherokees, By HON. J. W. H. UNDERWOOD, of Rome, Georgia. CHAPTER 11. Copyrighted. All rights reserved.] COMPACT OF 1802. In 1802, the United States Government made and entered into a compact with the State of Georgia, by the terms of which, in effect, the Slate of Georgia re linquished the right to the territories within the limits of the States of Ala bama and Mississippi, in consideration of which the United States undertook and agreed to extinguish the Indian title to all the land within the chartered limits of Georgia, so soon as it could be done on reasonable terms. About 1525, the people of Georgia became clamorous that the United States should perform her part of the compact, and in 1829, when General Jackson became Presi dent—the State of Georgia having voted for him—her public men began vigor ously to press the rights of the State of Georgia in the premises, and to demand the extinguishment of the Indian title within the chartered limits of the State. The Government of the United States had, in the most solemn form, acknowl edged the Cherokee Nation was a sov ereign power, authorized to govern themselves and other inhabitants of their territory, free from any rights of legisla tive interference by the several States composing the United States of America, in reference to acts done within their own territory. The whole territory occupied by the Cherokee Nation on the east of the Mississippi, had been solemnly guar anteed to them. All this will be seen to be true by the several treaties entered into between the United States and the Cherokee Nation of Indians, to-wit: At Hopewell, on the 28th day of November, 1785; at Ilolston, on the 2d day of 1791; at Philadelphia, on the 26th day of June, 1794; at Tellico, on the 2d day of October, 1798; at Tellico, on the 24th day of October, 1S04; at Tellico, on the 28th day of October, 1805, and 29th October, 1805, and at Washington City on the 7th day of January, 1806; at Washington City, 27th of March, 1816; Chickasaw Council House, on the 14th of September, 1816; at Cherokee Agen cy, on the Bth day of July, 1817, and at Washington City on the 27th day of February, 1816. All of which treaties were duly ratified by the Senate of the United States of America. Gold mines, that were exceedingly rich, had been discovered in the territory then occupied by the Cherokees, par ticularly in that part now comprised within the limits of Lumpkin county. They attracted the attention of the white people living adjacent thereto and many from other States, and created the state of things called the “Intrusion,” within that part of the Indian territory. On the 2d day of December, 1830, the Legislature of the State of Georgia passed “An act to authorize the Governor to take possession of the gold, silver and other mines lying and being in that sec tion of the chartered limits of Georgia commonly called the “Cherokee coun try,” and all other unappropriated lands of the State, and for punishing any per son or persons who may be found tres passing upon said mines.” The above recited act remained on the statute book for about one year, and there was no action taken by the Gov ernor of Georgia under that law. Presi dent Jackson, at the urgent demand of the chiefs and head men of the Chero kees, in May, 1831, acting in concert with the Governor of Georgia, removed the “Intruders” from the Indian terri tory, forcing them across the Chestatee river, at “Leathers’ Ford,” which cir cumstance inspired one of Georgia’s bards, (wlco died at the age of 88, an ornament to his race,) to write a poem, beginning: “Big lighting Jack Sanford, He lit a mighty battle, He font it the ford Where Leathers stole the cattle.” On the 21st day of December, 1830, the Legislature of Georgia passed “An act to authorize the survey and disposition of lands within the limits of Georgia in the occupancy of the Cherokee tribe of In dians, and ail other unlocated lands within the limits of the State, and to au thorize the Governor to call out a mili tary lorce to protect surveyors in the discharge of their duties, etc., etc., etc.” Ou the 3411i day of December, IS3I, the Legislature passed “An Ret to lay out the gold region in the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians into small, 40 acre lots, the balance in 160 acre lots and to dispose of the same by lottery, etc., etc.’” Under these two acts of the Legisla ture the land within the chartered limits of Georgia in the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians were disposed of by lottery. These two acts, and two others, to which attention will be called, comprised the policy of the State in reference to the Cherokee Indians. On the 22d day of December, 1330, the Legislature of the State of Georgia passed the following law: “An act to prevent the exercise ol assumed and ar bitrary power by all persons under pre text of authority from the Cherokee In dians and their laws, and to prevent white persons from residing within that part ol the chartered limits of Georgia occupied by the Cherokee Indians, and to provide a guard for the protection of the gold mines and to enforce the laws of the State within the territory.” This law forbade the Indians to assem ble in council to legislate, or for the pur pose of making laws, or to hold any court, or to act as ministerial officers, or to confiscate any property —except the chiefs and head men may assemble to CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, MARCH 12, 1885. meet any commissioner of the United States, etc. This law further enacted that all persons residing within the limits of the Cherokee Nation, on the Ist day of March, 1832, or any time thereafter, without a license or permit from the Gov ernor of Georgia, or his agent, and who shall not have taken an oath therein re quired, should be guilty of a high mis demeanor, and upon conviction thereof be punished by confinement in the peni tentiary at hard labor for a term not less than four years. The oath required was as follows: “I, A. 8., do solemnly swear that I will sup port and defend the constitution and laws of the State of Georgia and uprightly de meaii myself as a citizen thereof, so help me God.” This act also authorized the Governor to organize the “Georgia Guard,” which was done. Wm. N. Bishop was ap pointed agent of the State to enforce the law, and was appointed commander of the guard. Our late departed fellow citizen, John H. Underwood, (Big John) was a member of the guard. While the guard was stationed at what is now Spring Place, in Murray county, they discovered a singular looking solitary man, with apparently no object in view. His accent clearly indicated that lie was a Northern man. He seemed to be well educated, of good manners, and fine educational powers, though taciturn. Spies were put upon him and he was set down as an emissary of what, or from whom, never transpired; he was ar rested as such, and put under guard —our friend, “Big John,” was his jailor, and watched him kindly and closely. After being kept in close custody for many days, and no proof whatever against him of any improper record or act, he was discovered to be the authSr of “Home, Sweet Home,” John Howard Payne, and was set at liberty with the most humble apology of the commander, and an emphatic promise from “Big John” that he would never arrest and confine another man without some foun dation. The Legislature of Georgia, on the 19th of December, 1829, passed the fol lowing law : “An act to add the territory lying within the chartered limits of Georgia, and in the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians, to the counties of Carroll, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Hall and Habersham, and to extend the laws of Georgia over the same, and to annul all laws and ordinances made by the Chero kee Nation of Indians.” By the provisions of this statute, the laws of Georgia, both civil and commer cial, were extended over all that country within the chartered limits of Georgia occupied by the Cherokees. Under the provisions of the two stat utes referred to, and whose objects can well be understood from the titles of the bills, the Indians suffered great wrongs. At the September term, 1831, of Gwin nett Superior Court, the grand jury of said court did then, and there, find an indictment in substance as follows: “For that the said Elijah Butler, Samuel A. Worcester, James Hott, Samuel Mays, Sany Eaton, Austin Copeland and Ed ward Losure, white persons as aforesaid, on the 15th day of July, IS3I, did re side in that part of the Cherokee Nation attached by the laws of the State to the said county, and in the county aforesaid, without a license or permit from His Ex cellency, the Governor of said State, or from any agent authorized by His Ex cellency, the Governor aforesaid, to grant such permits or license, and with out having taken the oath to support and defend the constitution and laws of the State of Georgia and uprightly demean themselves as citizens thereof contrary to the laws of the State, etc.” The defendants in the State Court ap peared in proper person and filed the plea of not guilty, and that the jurisdic tion ol the court, and the law under which the indictment was found was un constitutional and in violation of the treaties made and ratified between the United States and the Cherokee Indians. The case was tried as to two defendants, Butler and Worcester. Their plea was the same and was overruled by the court and the defendants were tried on the plea of not guilty. The jury found a verdict against them, and the court sen tenced them to hard labor in the peni tentiary for four years. The defendants carried their case to the Supreme. Court of the United States, and were represented in that court by John Sargeant and William Wirt. The opinion ol the court was delivered by John Marshall, Chief Justice, who, after a very able statement of the facts, histo ry,treaties and charters, proceeded as fol lows : “The actual state of things at the time, and history since, explain these charters; and the King of Great Britain, at the treaty of peace could cede only what belonged to the crown. These newly attested titles conceived no aid from the articles so often repeated in the Indian treaties, extending to them first the protection of Great Britain, and afterwards that of the United States. These articles are associated with others recognizing their title to self-govern ment. The very fact ot repeated treaties with them recognizes it, and the settled doc trine of the law of nations is that a weaker power does not surrender its in dependence, its right of self-government by associating with a stronger and seek ing its protection. A weak State, in or der to provide for its safety, may place itself under the protection of one more powerful without stripping itself of the right of government and ceasing to be a State. Examples of this kind are not wanting in Europe. ‘Tributarv and feudatory States,’ says Vattel, ‘do not thereby cease to be sovereign and inde pendent States so long as self-govern- ment and sovereign anti, independent authority are left in the ac|miuistraticn of the State. At the present day more one State may be as holding the rights of setf-government under the guarantee and protection of one or more allies. The Cherokee Nation then, is a distinct community, occupying its territory, with boundaries accurately described in which the laws of Georgia can have no force, and which the citizens have no right to enter but with the ? assent of the Cherokees themselves, or in conformity with the treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole iniercourse be tween the United States and this Nation, is vested by one constitifttlon_and laws in the Government ot the United States. The act of the State of Georgia, under which the plaintiff was prose cuted, is consequently void and the judgement a nullity. Can the court re vise and reverse it? If the objection to the system of legislation lately adopted by the Legislature of Georgia in relation to the Cherokee Nation, was confined to its extra territorial operation, the objec tion, though complete as far as respected mere rights, would give thi# court power over the subject. But 4 goes much further. If the review w&ieirtias been taken be correct, and we it is, the acts of Georgia are repugnant to the constitution, laws and treaties of the United States. They interfere forcibly with the relations established between the United States and the Cherokee Na tion, the regulation of which, according to the settled principles of our Constitu tion, are committed exclusively to the Government of the Union. They are in direct hostility with trea ties repealed in a succession of years which mark out the boundary that sepa rates the Cherokee country from Georgia, guarantee to them all the land within their boundary, solemnly pledge the United States to restrain their citizens from trespassing on it ana recognizing the pre-existing power'of t|ie Nation to govern itself. They are in ? equal hostili ty with the acts of Congress lor regula ting this intercourse and giving effect to the treaties. The forcible seizure and abduction of the plaintiff in error, who was residing in the nation with its permission and by authority of the President of the United States, is also a violation of the acts which authorize the Chief Magistrate to exercise this authority. Will these pow erful considerations avail the plaintiff in error? We think they will. He was seized and forcibly carried away while under guardianship of treaties guaran teeing the country in which he resided and taking it under the protection of the United States. He was seized while per forming under the sanction of the Chi£f Magistrate of the Union, those duties which the humane- policy adopted by Congress had recommended. He was apprehended, tried and condemned, under color of a law which has been shown to be repugnant to the constitu tion, laws and treaties of the United States. Had a judgement liable to the same objection been rendered for prop erty, none would question the jurisdic tion of this court. It cannot be less clear when the judgement affects per sonal liberty and inflicts disgraceful pun ishment, if punishment could disgrace when inflicted, on iunocence. The plaintiff in error is not less interested in this unconstitutional law than if it affected his property. He is not the less entitled to the protection of the consti tution.and laws of his country. It is the opinion of this court that the judgement of the Superior Court, for the county of Gwinnett, in the State of Georgia, condemning Samuel A. Wor cester to hard labor in the penitentiary of the State of Georgia for four years, was pronounced by that court under color of a law which is void, as being repugnant to the constitution, laws and treaties of the United States, and ought, therefore, to be reversed and annulled.” Justices McLean, Washington, Bald win, and all concur, except one Justice, who denies jurisdiction. It is not intended by the foregoing re view to revive the controversy that once existed with reference to the legality or justice of the action of the State of Georgia towards the Cherokee Indians. That controversy has long ceased to exist, and can never be revived. The State of Georgia, priding itself' upon “State Sovereignty,” that then meant something, marched straight forward to the accomplishment of the policy of the State. The laws of the State were enforced through the tribunals thererof. Wor cester and Butler were pardoned upon taking the oath prescribed, and left the Cherokee country and returned to Ver mont and Massachusetts. [to be continued.] Horatiug at the Board. Lewiston Journal.] “Horatius” said the schoolmaster to a nine-year-old boy with' two imposing freckles on his nose and two equally im posing freckles on the knees ol his trou sers. “Horaiius, please form a sentence with the word toward in it, and write the sentence on the board.” Horatius went to the blackboard, and alter much scratching of head and fric tion of brain, printed with the crayon in letters that looked like a lot of half-feath ered Shanghai chickens running alter a piece of dough. “I toward my trousers.” A hone ran away with a prominent Republican politician in Washington the other day. We thus see that the victory of the Democrats is already having good results. Six months ago the prominent Republican politician would hare run away with the horse. —Atlanta Constitu ion. PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND. Brilliant Inaugural Exercises—Republi canism Mores Out—Democracy Mores In! At 10:40 o’clock the Presidential party entered their carriages and took the po sition assigned them along the line of march. In president Arthur’s carriage, President Arthur with President-elect Cleveland on his left, Senator Sherman facing President Arthur, and Senator Ransom on his right facing the Presi dent-elect. The second carriage contain ed the Vice-President-elect, with Senator Hawley on his left. As the carriages drove out of the gate and entered the line, the occupants were greeted with the wildest enthusiasm, men shouting, women screaming and waving their handkerchiefs, and all seemed carried away with the excitement of the moment. The scenes on Pennsylvania Avenue almost baffled description. A great sea of upturned faces hid the sidewalks. Above it the buildings were covered with cloths of gorgeous colors arranged in pa triotic devices; soft, spring-like breezes lazily stirred the innumerable flags and streamers. The President’s elegant car riage was preceded by Gen. Slocum, chief marshal, and liis staff, and a troop of United States cavalry. Surrounding the carriages were a dozen mounted po licemen, The party received an ovation all along the line of march ; men cheered, women waved their handkerchiefs and clapped their hands, and the greatest en thusiasm was evinced by the great throng. President-elect Cleyeland kept his silk hat In hand, and bowed to the right and left as the carriage rolled slowly along, The same reception was accorded the Vice-President-elect, whose carriage fol lowed. Next came the National Demo cratic Committee and the Inaugural Com mittee in carriages, followed by the Dis trict militia, headed by the Washington Light Infantry. The marching of this organization, with its unusually broad front was almost perfect, and it succeeded in making a difficult wheel at the South east corner of the treasury building with out breaking—a feat which even the United States regulars did not attempt. A number of colored militia formed part of the first division, and presented a highly creditable appearance. At nine o’clock full three thousand people had congregated on the broad plaza to the East of the eapitol and on to the West approaches to the building. Both the carriages and pedestrians were black with strangers going to and from the great structure. On the streets north of the building the military companies societies were forming and preparing to march to the center of the city. Hun dreds of people who had passed the night in Baltimore, and who had arrived on the early morning trains, lined the thor oughfares. Many of the strangers had been unable to find resting places daring the night, and their faces and clothes were covered with dust and dirt. Many of them carried carpet sacks or valises in hand, while a few held their visiting clothes in average sized band boxes. Talkative individuals related their expe riences of past inaugurations. An old white-haired man, with beard as long as Rip Van .Winkle’s, entertained many with his account of the burning of the eapitol by the British in 1814. He said he was 92 years old, and was from one of the first families of Virginia. “Little did I think,” he remarked, “when I saw that building burning, that I would see Grover Cleveland inaugurated in 1885.” During the morning recess of the Sen ate, from Bto 9:3d, the appearance of the hall underwent a change. Russet leather backed sofas and luxurious arm chairs from the cloak room and the committee rooms were brought in and placed around the vacant chair before the clerks desk, while two or three hundred split bottom chairs were placed wherever space could be found between the seats of Senators. Senator Garland’s desk bore a floral lad der with several rounds, but .no other flowers were to be seen. A little before 11 o’clock the doors of the President’s gallery were opened and people entitled to admission were escorted in. Among them were Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, sister of the President-elect, Rev. W. A. Cleveland and wife, and their two sons, Mr. Hastings, nephew of the President-elect, Miss Hastings, Miss Nel lie Yeomans, and Miss Annie Yeomans, nieces of the President-elect, Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, of Toledo, and Col. and Mrs. Lamont. The only events of the early proceedings which w’ere not upon the programme, were the outbreaks of applause which greeted the announcement of the passage of the Grant Retirement Bill and the re ception of the President’s message nom inating Gen. Grant to the newly created vacancy. The applause, which w r as hearty and prolonged, was not suppress ed by Edmunds. Just before the entry, the members of the Supreme court arrived in their am ple black silk gowns, and preceded by their marshal. The annual act of turn ing back the hands of the Senate clock was performed by the veteran door keep er, Capt. Isaac Bassett. The Supreme court justices were placed upon the right tront of the chair. President Arthur was now announced, and his coming was greeted with warm clapping of hands, in recognition of which he bowed graceful ly to the assemblage. A momeot later, and the buzz of con versation was again suspended in antici pation of the announcement of the Presi dent-elect of the United States. Mr. Cleveland had already entered the hall, and with his escort, halted within sight of the assemblage. While bis arrival was being announced, applause, clapping of hands at first, ami then cheers loud and prolonged, welcomed him; then a stal wart voice in the gallery arose above the din, demanding three cheers for Grover Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland, on the arm of Senator Sherman, went to the private entrance of the Senate chamber, and proceeded im mediately to the Vice-President’s room. Ex-President Arthur went to the Presi dent's room, where his cabinet was as sembled, and where he engaged himself in signing measures which Congress was rushing through the legislative halls. Hendricks, on the arm of Senator Haw ley, entered the apartment where Cleve land had previously gone. Hendricks now took the gavel and called the Senate to order in extra session. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, following which the Vice-President made a brief address. New Senators were sworn in, and after the reading of the message of the Presi dent convening the Senate, the proces sion was formed and filed its way toward the platform on the central portico of the eapitol. Precisely at 12:30 p. m., the head of the procession appeared coming out of the main East door of the eapitol. President Arthur stepped to the front of the platform, followed by the President elect, Chief Justice Waite, and the Ser geant-at-Armsof the Senate, all uncover ed as they stood facing the crowd, and the vast assemblage cheered again and again lor several minutes. At 12:40 p. m. President-elect Cleve land arose and began his inaugural ad dress. He was clad in a full suit of black, Prince Albert coat, high, old-fashioned standing collar and black tie. In speak ing he had his left hand closed behind him, and emphasized his speech by ges tures with his right hand. He spoke without manuscript, but occasionally consulted a small piece of paper bearing’ notes of heads- of his discourse. His voice was clear and resonant, and he slowly enunciated his words and occa sionally turned about at pauses, as if to note the effect of his remarks. (See his address on our 2d page.) The address was very brief, and at pre cisely two minutes alter one o’clock he concluded with the invocation of the blessings of Providence and turning to the Chief Justice and bowing to him, said: “lam now prepared to take the oath prescribed by law.” As the Chief Justice arose to adminis ter the oath, the vast assemblage cheered again and again. The President-elect stood faring the Chief Justice, with the crowd on his right. Chief Clerk McKen ney, of the Supreme court, stood just to the bible upon which the oath was ad ministered, the President-elect also hold ing it with his right hand. The bible used is a small morocco covered, gilt edged volume, pretty well worn. It is the bible which Mr. Cleveland’s mother gave him when he left home as a young man, and at his special request the com mittee of arrangements had it in readi ness for the ceremony. The crowd pre served perfect quiet as the impressive ceremony of administering the oath was taking place, ttut wlien it wa3 concluded" and as President Cleyeland laid down the bible after reverently kissing it, and shook hands with Chief Justice Waite, who was the first to congratulate him, they cheered loud and long. Ex-Presi dent Arthur was the second man to con gratulate the President, and then fol lowed Chief Clerk McKinney and Sena tor Sherman. President Cleveland was then introduced to the remaining judges of the Supreme court, to Lieutenant-Gen eral Sheridan and General Hancock. At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the eapitol, the procession escorted the presidential party back to the White House. The two carriages which con tained President Cleveland, ex-President Arthur, Vice-President Hendricks and the Senate committee of Arrangements, took positions in the first divisions and the line staited. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested along the route. Crowds on the sidewalks had increased so that it was impossible to press through it. Many people were forced out into the roadway, and the police had all they could do to keep the avenue open for the procession. The review from the Presidential stand was a grand sight, and it was the gener ally expressed opinion that no more bril liant pageant had ever been witnessed in the country. All organizations gave the marching salute-as they passed the grand stand, and thp President at first recog nized this compltaient by raising his hat to every separate command. But the length of the line and the chilliness of the breeze which sprang up compelled him before the second division passed to keep his head covered, and in most cases to limit his acknowledgments to a slight , bow. In view of the fact that the pro cession wks three hours in passing. It is not a matter for surprise that he had to abandon his intention of standing with head uncovered through the review. FIRE WORKS. The public celebration of the day end ed with a display of fireworks. In char acter it was like all displays of fireworks, but in volume and variety it is said to have excelled any former pyroteehnical exhibition upon this continent. Withal it was successful to the minutest detail, although the stage of preparation late in the afternoon was not encouraging. TIIE BALL, The brilliant finale of the inauguration ceremonies was the ball at night. It put the cap sheaf of gaiety on the more -formal and serious, though grand, cere monial which preceded it. Beauty lent its aid to crown the triumph of the in coming administration, and amid the light festivities of the ball room the cele bration of the day came to a close. The ball was held in the unfinished new Pen sion building, an immense structure. Blaine is mad about that portrait Archer painted of him, and claims that Frelinghuysen accepted sit out of spite. The real portrait of Blaine is the one Mulligan painted. That should be hung up in the reception room.—Detroit Free Press. NUMBER 6. + LADIES’ COLUMN. + A SWEETHEARTS SUGGEST/OX.

Said Pat: “Your eyes are so blue, And your lips so templlingly red, They’re the purtiest I ever knew And belong to the colleen I’d wed. “Ah? darlin’, if it wasn’t this baste That’s pullin’ my poor arms apart, They would tiuderly stheal round your waist And yourself be pressed to my heart. “For my love’s that powerful indade Withoat you I cannot survive." Then Kathleen blushed and said: “Mr, Reilly, perhaps I could drive!” THE PRINCESS OF WARES. Boston Herald,] The Princess of Wales is adored by the English Conservatives and Radicals alike, and it was a lucky day, indeed, tor the heir apparent when he took the sweet and high-minded daughter of the King of Denmark to wife. Her popularity is rivaled only by that of Mr. Gladstone, and it is even greater than his, for Lon don is hers, heart and soul, as well as the provinces. To look at this pretty and girlish woman no one would imagine that she was forty years ot age, and the mother of several children, including two great boys, one of whom has just at tained his majority. Although H. It. H. , holds herself so well that, when seated in her carriage or in the box of a theater she seems a tall woman, yet in reality she is petite. The Princess dFesse3 her hair rather high, and wears high heels. She is always attired to perfection, and usual ly in white or black in the evening and in very quiet colors during the day; but her costume at night, however simple, is set oft" by the most magnificent jewels, so that she literally “blazes like a jeweled sun.” 11. R. H. is somewhat deaf, but not seriously so. The present writer has seen her many times in public, and has always been impressed with the grace and delicacy of her type of beauty, and the unaffected goodness that seems to surround her like an atmosphere. The Princess is always cheered to the echo, and fairly mobbed b} r the enthusiastic public. I have seen her seated in the royal coach, returning in state from Buckingham Palace to Marlborough” House, preceded by outriders, a diadem on her fair brow and gorgeously attired; again, at a garden party, accompanied by her little daughter clinging to the skirts of her gown, as she walked along between the ranks ot ladies courtesying, and men with their heads uncovered; again, driving in Hyde Park late in the , aftyruoou with the little Princesses, or sailing out to the royal yacht anchored off the Isle of Wight, the ribbons of her sun-hat fluttering in tae fresh breeze, her dress a simple blue serge, and, still again, selling roses for charity at the fete held in the Horticultural Society’s grounds in South Kennington. The Princess is a familiar, but always art iso lated, figure in English daily life.- 1 A PUERILE THREAT. Nashville Danner. ] The railway crowd that assaulted the Alabama legislature, and failed in their effort to overthrow the railway commis sion system in that State, are battering away at the doors of the House, having already “bucked and gagged” the Sen ate of Tennessee. They have reached such a pitch of pride and arrogance by reason of their temporary triumph in. Tennessee’s State Senate, that they threaten Georgia with invasion and the utter overthrow of her popular and effi cient railway commission. They say that they vyill bury Campbell Wallace under its ruins because he has told Ten nessee and the Union, that Georgia has tested her railway commission for five years, and finds that it is beneficial to the railroads and to the people. This exam ple of Georgia is making them very wrathy, and as they cannot answer his reports of success and triumphs in the field of railway regulation, they make a' bones of saying that his head will soc fall in the basket. lie has heard so impudent and insolent bravado be and often. ll‘e has measured /swbrua w ith the railway power of and has been victorious, because the people thereof irrespective of party have been at his back and because Georgia’s public men of all parties have been for the coo mission, and because the Atlanta tution and all the other leading papers have stood grandly by the commission and commissioners. These railway agents want to slaughter Campbell Wal lace and overthrow the Georgia commis sion, because they know r no State in this Union will continue to submit to- railway, exaction and oppression as long as Geor gia’s example flames up and throws its beams athwart the continent. The Stahlmanites are vexed at the frequent references to Georgia’s commission and commissioners by the Tennessee Demo crats. The only way to get rid of the annoyance is to overthrow the Georgia commission. Forewarned is forearmed. Georgia had better fortify, for a greater enemy than Sherman threatens another march to the sea. A Clean Sweep Anticipated. From the Mauch Chunk Democrat, j Joy to the people : emir'*****’ longer.
