    I'H \T DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE. ]
To the Free Press:
Judge Lester, 1 1io Atlanta Constitution
nml Joe Branham, of Rome, openly state
that the Legislature of 18(18, 1860, ami
one session of 1870, was a Deinooratie
Legislature. The journal says this leg
islature assembled in .Inly, 1860, and the
authorities say they expelled the ne
itu*s three weeks afterwards, “making
The Legislature Demoeratle” thereby.
< onley was president of the Senate and
McWhorter speaker of the House. In
March, 1860, Judge Lester was made
domestic commissioner of immigration.
This he, Branham and the Constitution ,
all say was a Democratic measuiv.
In March, 1860, fire days after, the
Rrnnswick Albany Railroad bill be
came a law. If Democrats passed tlie
first, they parsed the last. Then cannot
tlnit n it. The bills that passed the same
J cgi-latnre authorizing the bonds oi the
• herokee and Van Wert Railroad, the
Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, the
Macon & Brunswick road and several
other similar schemes, passed in Septem
ber ,1868 and March, 1860. Of these
bonds, a committee -of three, Garnett
McMillan, John I. Hall and one other
■ay that they were passed by the “infer
nal use of (jotit."
llehohl a Demo’ratic Legislature! 11
you claim one measure claim them all. If
you deny one you must deny all.
Col. Branham says the State Agricul
tural Society passed the bill for Foreign
and Domestic Immigration. Judge Les
ter has the honesty to say “the State
Agrieultural Society refused to have any
thing to do with it, stating the law was
not what they wanted, and the scheme
was barren oi' results.” (You had better
confer with Judge Lester next time, Col.
Beanham.)
The State Road [.ease was passed and
went into effect, at the close of the year
1870. Of course that was a Democratic
measure lieeause so many organized Dem
ocrats were zealous for it then and after
wards. (t. X. Lester says he was so
violently in favor of it that. Gov. Brown
engaged him to work on the Legislature
to ratify it. Judge Lester proceeded to
engage and Gov. Brown gave him $“*00
to retain him. (The Governor was wise
to retain him.) The Constitution took
$5,000 for the same work and then took
two or three thousand from the other
side. “We made some seven or eight thou
sand dollars out of the lease, says the At
lanta < 'onstitution, February 10th, 1876.
Lester’s receipt for SI,OOO is in the pub
lic records. Here was a Legislature that
has been the shame of Georgia! Here
were the members who charged all our
w oes on Bullock and Ids “piratical crew.”
These were the men and this the Legisla
ture that G. X. Lester and the Atlanta
i 'onstitution falsely charge to be Demo
cratic to cover up their ill-gotten gains!
Shame upon such trickery! Shame upon
such organs and lawyers, who do these
“disreputable” deeds and try to hide it
by saying “Democrats did it.”
Let the truth come out. If Democrats
did it, the Bepublicons are innocent.
If Bullock fleeced the State, and filled
the pockets of these “organized” Demo
crats with the gold of the State, let them
Im tried again—with Bullock. Bullock
was tried and Democratic witnesses
cleared him. The reason is plain.' Bul
lock could put his finger on the men who
bad helped to do it. Record.
JUDGE LESTER AND THE STATE
ROAD LEASE.
To the Free Press £
When this leases was passed through
Bullock’s legislature, Judge Lester had
an office in Atlanta. There is no pub
lished receipt of his taking a lobby fee
until 1872. But, if if was no harm in
1872, he considered it no harm in 1870.
He says lie “talked so much” about the
lease that be signed a contract in 1872, to
lobby the ratification. Let lin an
swer whether he rook a fee in 1870. We
believe be was trilling, and took it if he
could get it. So many got lobby fees about
that time, that it is only reasonable to
conclude he did not slight any offer.
Any man who could defraud the State
out the half of SIO,OOO as Domestic Com
missioner of Immigration, would not be
tender-footed about any lobby fees —be-
-Ides he took the SI',(XK) without any
qualms of conscience in 1872.
Will the honest citizens of Georgia look
at the transaction which deprived the
State of $2,400,000 ? The Legislature
requires the half of the road earn
ings to be used as a school fund. Sup
pose we had secured the otter that would
have saved the immense sum above sta
red ? We would have .added to the school
fund SOO,OOO per year additional to the
quail stun no w allowed to this great edu
cational enterprise. Georgia needs this
money that Judge Lester helped to cheat
the State out of. That bribe of SI,OOO,
cheated the poor children of Georgia out
of $60,000 per year. This is the candi
date, set up for Congress.
Why did the new constitution condemn
lobbying ? The Convention that met
in Atlanta last summer made “ lobbying ”
a penal offence. What is lobbying ? The
work that lawyers and practitioners of a
certain stripe’do in the Legislature to
prevent the passage of certain bills, or to
push through certain bills for which they
take money!
Col. L. N. Trammell says he took
$7,500 to push the Brunswick & Albany
railroad through the Legislature. That
was lobby work. The president of that
road sicore on oath, he got a heap more,
but that is enough to make him a pro
fessed lobbyist. lie says it wets rujht.
The new constitution of Georgia says it
i- an offense punishable by the State.
Who was correct V Judge Lester took
SI,OOO from Gov. Brown to work on the
Legislature of 1872 to ratify the State
road lease. That was lobby work. He
ays it was right! The new constitution
ays it was a crime. Who is correct ?
If these men took a fee in one case and
believe it right, do you not believe they
took as man)' as were offered to them ?
Ge: . Toombs says these easy-going
lawyers, who hung around Bullock,
•t>elonged to the regular lobby, and that
they practiced their calling under other
administrations with equal activity and
ueeess, and now having no claims on
The people, they use so-rolled Democratic
convention, to foist themselves into
office.”
Will the honest jteople of Georgia send
a mendter of the ‘“regular lobby” to
practice in Washington ? Bartow.

THE .JUDICIAL ERMINE IN THE
SLOUGH OF POLITICS
Columbus Times.]
Since the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary, the bench has lteen re
garded a* the seat of justice and the er
mine an emblem of the purity of official
character. Of the true Judge a eelebrat
et |s*er says:
‘‘With an equal scale
He weighs the offences lwtween man and man:
He is not soothed with adulation,
Nor mov’d with tears, to wrest the course of jus
tice
Into an unjust current, to oppress the innocent:
Nor does he make the laws
Punish the man, hut in man the cause.”
A Judge is hut a man, and to fill the
high ami responsible trust with which lie
is invested when elevated to the bench,
he should be, as far as passible, removed
from even necessary participation in any
of the questions or affairs of the people
which tend to heated discussions, rival
ries jealousies, envyings, hatreds and
combinations to raise up one and put
down another, and voluntarily participa
ting in such matters by a Judge, should
receive :is scorning'a frown ofcomdem
nafion from the people as an Arabian
simoon.
The dignity and purity of the Georgia
bench has been so well sustained (except
during the period when men were put in
to that high position who were not the
choice of the people) that we had hoped
it would never become our duty to con
demn the course of one of her sons who
wears the judicial ermine.
It should not be so, nevertheless it is
too true that politics is demoralizing in
its results, and no judge while engaged
in, or passing through a heated political
contest, can mete out even and exact jus
tice to friends and foes alike. When a
judge becomes a candidate for a political
office, he should resign his judgeship and
let another l*e appointed, who, when he
is upon the bench, will be tree from the
influence of the heated political strife.
We regret that it is our painful duty to
condemn the course of Judge George X.
Lester, the nominee of our party for Con
gress in the seventh congressional district
of this State, The campaign in the sev
enth district is a heated one. It grows
more bitter day by day, and the friends
of the candidates are raging like an an
gry sea. Judge Lester has so lost his pa
tience in the heat of the contest as to call
his opponent “an unmitigated liar.” Can
any one doubt the effect such a scene
would have upon an impartial mind? A
judge appointed to preserve the peace
seeks to provoke a difficulty. Does any
one suppose that a judge who so far loses
es his telnper as to use such language to
his opponent, could, while on the bench,
so control Ids feeling engendered during
the campaign as to do justice to his oppo
nents ?
Though there is no statue debating a
judge from active participation in poli
tics, still there should be a common law
among the people to effectually condemn
such a course, Judge Lester is the reg
ular nominated candidate of the Demo
cratic parly: and few are the instances
when the party is justified in not support
ing its nominee, but this is an instance
where the party would lose more by Hie
success ofits nominee than by his defeat,
for establishing such a precedent would
lie certain to react to the detriment of the
party in the future.
Let it be said to the honor of Georgia,
we do not believe there is another judge
in the State who would have an eye so
single to his private gain as to hold
to his judgeship with one hand while
grasping for Congressional honors with
the other.
We think it is the duty of the Demo
cratic press of the State, and indeed, that
of every true Democrat, to condemn the
course of Judge Lester in not resigning
his office of judge when lie accepted the
nomination for < ’ongress.
He cannot point to his unsolicited and
unanimous nomination as an evidence
that he is not actuated by selfish motives
in accepting the call of bis party, for if
patriotic, he would have felt equally call
ed upon to obey the wishes of the party
to submit Ills resignation as judge, since
be cannot fail to see the interests of his
party would have suffered less had lie de
clined to accept its call, than to enter
the political arena in his judicial robes.
For it is a matter which affects not only
the people of the seventh district, but
the entire Democratic party of the State,
and a failure to condemn hjs course will
be construed as an approval of It.
We have no reason to believe that
Judge Lester would not make an able
and faithful Representative in Congress,
if elected, hut no matter what may he
his abilities, character and qualifications,
the Democratic party should not tolerate
the course of the Judge in dragging the
ermine through the slough of politics,
and the people of the seventh district
should so effectually condemn such a
course as forever to preclude its repeti
tion.
Let not our brethren of the seventh dis
trict in their love admiration of their lead
er, and their personal affection for him,
forget the sacred duty of a judge and the
fearful consequences of such a precedent.
Vox Populi.
RUNNING AGAINST THE MACHINE.
One of the most notable feautures of the
race is the wonderful strength displayed
by the Independents.
In almost every county where there
was an independent race the nominee
was beaten, and the Independents trium
phantly elected. In Thomas county the
nominees were elected, and also in the
Richmond Senatorial district. In such
sturdy constituencies as Rome and Ath
ens the Independents were elected by
large majorities. In DeKalb, Col. Al
ston more than doubled his opponents,
and hardly one-fourth of the votes were
cast for the regular nominee. In the
Senatorial districts Preston, Ind., beat
McHenry nominee; Harknes, Ind., beat
Grantland, nominee; Lumpkin, Ind.,
l>eat Davenport, nominee, and so on
through the list. Col. Candler sored him
self in the Gainesville district, but more by
his personal effort than otherwise.
The strongest claim of the Indepen
dents lies in the fact that in dozens of
counties there were no nominations made.
Yielding to an almost unanimous wish
the “bridles have been pulled off,” in
many of the counties, and a free-for-all
tight indulged in. This was the case
in Atlanta and a majority of the Senato
rial districts. It is a noteworthy fact that
in all of these races not a single Republi
can candidate has appeared to contest the
prize, or take advantage of the split in
the Democratic ranks. The negroes, it
appears, were more than willing to have
the “color line” broken down, and rang
ed themselves under whichever Demo
cratic leader their choice fell upon. In
many cases the majority of the negroes
went with the regular ticket against the
Independents.
All in all it looks as if the Independents
had a very good day of it.— Atlanta Con
stitntton, of December last.

HOW GEORGIA WAS SETTLED BY THE
GERMANS.
August 11, 1878.
Editor Columbus Enquirer-Sun:
In the year 1869, the Legislature of
Georgia was impressed with the imme
diate necessity of colonizing the Old
Commonwealth with anew population.
Stripped by the war, poor and needy,
the old guard must giro way to anew te
ller of things. If you will read the Jour
nal of 1869, you will see how unanimous
these salons became on that important
question. On March !•), 1809, the hill
became a law, and the same day witness
ed the election of two Commissioners —
Foreign and Domestic. A sum of ten
thousand dollars was set apart for their
compensation—seven thousand dollars of
this sum was to pay their salaries and
three thousand to pay for printing. < 01.
G. X. Lester opened an office in Atlanta
as Domestic Commissioner, and Col. Sam
Weil departed for Germany as Foreign
Commissioner.
So far so good. J udge* Lester says it
would be impossible to tell how much
talking and writing lie did for the good
cause, seated in bis office in Atlanta, lie
drew his salary in installments of five
hundred dollars regularly, and drew
from two to three hundred dollars for
printing. He just spread himself in that
office, and we are sure it would be impos
sible to ascertain the “talking,” etc., that
was accomplished.
Commissioner Weil had been away
from his faderland some years, and he
now travelled around the homestead four
teen months, and printed lots of circu
lars. He “talked” and “talked” and
was doubtless much encouraged by the
situation as he staid so long.
Judge Lester says in his letter of resig
nation, that the State Agricultural Socie
ty would have nothing to do with the
scheme, as the law was not what they
wanted, as the whole scheme was barren
of good results.
The people became violently opposed
to the immigration enterprise and de
nounced the Legislature for passing if.
The Judge grew a little restive. He kept
a steady look-out from that office door for
the coming German. He continued to
talk nevertheless and Brother Paul was
so handy (as Gov. Bullock’s private sec
retary) he was not lonesome. The native
Georgians began to grow restless, too.
They were taxed to death to pay all these
legislative bills, and could indulge in but
few comforts and no luxuries, to be able
to meet their taxes. They began to talk.
The clamor grew louder (which might
not have disturbed this brave commission
er, if the money till had not become so
nearly empty) and Judge [.ester became
anxious to see Weil and the emigrants.
He mounted bis look-out every day, and
like the noble Wellington, would cry,
“Oh! that the German or more money
would come!”
The “days grew longer and the nigh Is
were drear,” in anxious desire to see the
Teutons who were to show Georgia far
mers how to do business. Brother Paul
and the Governor cheered his drooping
spirits in their kindest way, but the ex
pectancy and continued disappointment
on the mind of this noble patriot, had he
not become impressed that the State Road
would he leased about this time, we fear
would have been excessive and the talk
ing worn him out.
At. last he got news from Weil. The
fourteen months toil and severe labor were
about to bear fruit. The Domestic Com
missioner garnished Ids office, sent for
Brother Paul and the Governor anti wait
ed with smiling face the most welcome
sight of Weil. The brave Teuton grace
fully alighted at the office door and intro
duced the emigrant, who some say was
his betrothed wife, and others his niece.
The Judge cried out “close up boys!”
the actors passed from the stage. On Xo
veinber Ist, 1861, Samuel Weil introdue
a bill in the Legislature for compensation
for bis losses as Comminissioner of Immi
gration.
A Reader of the Journal.
Mr. Jeffrey has established the fact that
hones disappear in the ocean. By dredg
ing it is common to bring up teeth, but
rarely ever a bone of any kind; these,
however, compact, dissolve, if exposed
to the action of the water but a iittle
time. On the contrary, teeth —which are
not hones any more than whales are lish
—resist the destroying action of the sea
water indefinitely. It is, therefore, a
powerful solvent. Still, the popular opin
ion is that it is a brine. If such were the
ease, the bottom of all seas would, long
ago, have been shallowed by immense ac
cumulations of carcasses and products of
the vegetable kingdom constantly Boat
ing into them. Destine, the peculiar ma
terial of which teeth are formed, and the
emanel covering them, offer extraordina
ry resistance to these chemical agencies
which resolve other animal remains to
nothingness. Mounds in the West, tu
muli in Europe and Asia, which are be
lieved to ante-date sacred history for
thousands of years yield up perfectly
sound teeth, on which time appears to
have made no impression whatever.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune, writing from the mail steamer
Pa ragout l last week describes the terror
caused all along the Mississippi river by
the report of the ravage of yellow fever
at New Orleans. At Vidalia, La., the
natives came to the landing with stones
and clubs, and fought back the crew of
the steamer when the latter attempted to
take some baggage on board. At Natch
ez the flash of a cannon warned the Par
goud to remain aloof. The people of
Delta even tried to prevent the mail from
being landed, and at Vicksburg not a
deck-hand was allowed to leave the shore
end of the steamboat staging. Commerce
is paralyzed for a time on the great water
highway of the West, and it is to be hop
ed that the unreasonable panic will soon
subside.
The Ancient Order of United Work
men, of which the last session was held
in St. Louis, March 19, 1878, has about
eleven hundred lodges in the United
States, and a membership of about sixty
five thousand. It was first organized at
Meadville, Pa., in 18G8, and its growth
during the past two or three years has
been quite rapid and vigorous. The prin
ciples of the order are said to be entirely
on the side of peace and harmony between
labor and capital, inculcating wise meas
ures for the remedy of existing evils, and
opposing strikes as one of the chief ob
stacles to relief.
There is some evidences that a photo
graphic 1 copy of John Sherman’s letter to

When that is produced Mr. Sherman will
