W/IA T CONGRESS HAS DONE.
The forty-fifth congress of the United
States adjourned on Tuesday last. That
congress will not go down to history as a
very brilliant one. We give an idea of
what it did.
All the appropriation bills, except the
legislative and army bills, have been
signed and are now laws; also the river
and harbor bill, and the bill making the
requisite appropriation to pay arrears of
pensions. 'Hie last named bill reached
the president a little before 12 o’clock
and was promptly approved. It is un
derstood that a message vetoing the river
and harbor appropriation bill was pre
pared, but under tiie influence of great
pressure the executive signature was
finally affixed to that bill.
The principal measures which have be
come laws during the last session, in ad
dition to ten of tiie regular annual ap
propriation bills, arc as follows: The bill
reducing the tax on tobacco and other
wise amending the internal revenue
laws; the census bill; the bill to aid in
refunding tiie national debt by author-
i/.ing the issue ot small treasury certifi
cates; the bill to prevent the introduc
tion of infectious and contagious disea
ses, and the bill providing for the pay
ment of the arrears of pensions for ser
vices during the late war.
Among the measures which made
more or less progress bnt failed of enact
ment this session are the following:
The legislatave, executive and judicial
appropriation bill; the army appropria
tion bill; the bill to regulate inter-state
commerce; the steamboat bill; the Ge
neva award bill; the bill to establish
postal savings-banks; the bill to repeal
the specie resumption act; the bill grant
ing pensions to the survivors of the
Mexican war; the silver bill; the bill t
restrict Chinese immigration; the joint
resolution proposing a constitutional
amendment to prohibit the payment ol
disloyal claims; the bill to provide for
the coforcement of the eight-hour law;
the proposition to transfer the Indian
bureau to the war department; the Miss
issippi levee bill, and the bill to provide
fora commission on the improvement of
the Mississippi; the bill extending the
time for the completion of the Northern
Pacific bill; the Brazilian mail service
bill; the bill t regulate the transporta
tion of animals by railroads; the bill to
devote the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands to educational purposes; the
bill authorizing railroad companies to
construct and maintain lines of telegraph
for commercial purposes; the Burnside
committee’s army regulation bill; the
bill to revise the patent laws, and the
Japanese and Chinese indemnity-fund
bills; the various measures reported from
the house committee on banking and cur
rency, and many other financial bills, be
sides those specified above, proposing aid
in lands or bonds for construction of rail
roads, canals, etc.; a large number of
bills on the calendars aggregating local
interests of more or less importance, and
several hundred reported from commit
tees for the relief of private claimants
besides thousands of others, which were
left untouched in the files of the com
mittee rooms.
The total number of bills and joint res
olutions introduced in the house of rep
resentatives during the congress which
has just expired is 6,826, and the total
for the senate is 1,936.
The president has issued his proclama
tion convening the forty-sixth congress
on the 18th inst. The proclamation re
cites that an extraordinary session is nec
essary for the reason that the forty-fifth
congress adjourned without making the
usual and necessary appropriations for
the legislative, executive and judicial ex
penses of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1880, and without
making the usual and necessary appro
priations for the support of the army for
the same fiscal year.
DR. FEL TOX'S SPEECH.
We publish this week the speech of
Dr. Felton on the financial question,
which was delivered in the house of rep
resentatives on the 14th ult. It is a con
cise statement of the power of the money
lords over the people. The New York
Irish World refers to the speech in the
following words:
Dr. Feltou’s speech was a bold declaration of
independence from party ties, and due notice “to
whom it may concern” that henceforth these
great vital questions should find in him an advo
cate whatever parties might do. Ilis speech
would make an admirable campaign document
for general distribution, filled with unanswera
ble facts, and expressed with such vigorous elo
quence as to interest all who may read it. If
these two speeches could be sown broadcast in
any one state, the harvest would be secured.
#r. Felton has not made a speech yet
in congress that was not an appeal in be
half of the struggling and toiling people.
Ilis whole mission seems to be wrapt in
‘ the eTert to ameliorate the condition of
the oppressed Libor of the country. For
this he deserves the confidence of every
toilh.g son of America.
We beg the readers of this paper not to
pass the speech unnoticed. Preserve it
for the future that it may never be for
gotton who stood faithful by the people
in congress.
-♦ ♦
Why don’t the great Senator Gordon
reply to Mrs. Felton. He is the great
and immaculate Jupiter Tonans of the
so-called “orga'fyzed” democracy. Why
don’t he do something? lie has been
seriously charged; why don’t he tell what
he knows about it? Senator Gordon is
not, in reality, the great Jupiter Tonans
cf Georgia democracy, when it is sifted
down to facts. That he is a blatherskite,
we don’t pretend to deny. He has talk
od more and boeu “interviewed” more
than any public man in the United StatfcS

TTIE CON PA NY WE KEEP.
The Grif in Xeks feels bad about the
company ve keep and says:
Friend Charlie, we have never doubted your
democracy, but we do not like the crowd you
have been ri nntng with for some time. There is
but one dem >cratic party in Georgia, and that is
the organized party ; there is but one way to light
radicalism a id fraud, and that is inside the dem
ocratic partand any light made against the
organized democracy is giving aid and comfort
to the enem;. Charlie, come back into the folds
of the organ zed army, and fight the battle ol
your country with the army thatis bound to win,
for truth, jus tice and moderation never fails to
come out successful in the end.
The mott prominent of the crowd we
“having lieen running with for some
time” are Messrs. Toombs, Stephens,
Hill, Gus Wright, Ex-Gov. 11. V. John
son, Feltcn, Wofford, Speer and other
good and sound Georgia democrats,
neither of whom had anything to do with
tiie Bullock regime by holding office un
der him nor as lobbyists in his corrupt
legislature that plundered Georgia. Does
the Xeics think this bad company?
We admit “there is but one democratic
party in Georgia,” but there are at tiie
same time many so-called leaders, who
assume to lie the front of the party, tiie
genuineness of whose democracy we do
not endor.-e. Some of these have been
set up as i lols we cannot worship as de
mi-gods. The great democratic heart
only puls; tes in unison with ‘true demo
cratic principle and not merely for oltice
and public plunder. Faithful democrats
vote only for the best men who are the
truest democrats.
As to going back into the democratic
fold, we have only to say we have not
left the true fold. We shall certainly not
blindly follow the “thimble-riggerf and
tricksters” who use the so-called organi
zation of ihe party for selfish purposes.
Let the News stand as firmly by demo
cratic principles as we do, and it will
soon be drifting in the same direction
with The Free Press.
We have a great deal in The Free
Press about Dr. Felton and his estimable
wife. It is because there is so much said
about the n. Big people have to he talk
ed about in the papers. They can’t hurt
old Felton. “Old Record” is all right.
But the “organized” clan want to hurt
“Old Felton” by attacking bis wife.
That won’t do, my boys; she is smarter
than all of you and knows what’s she is
talking about.
Mrs. Felton, in her wifely devotion to
her husband, has called down upon her
head soma pretty severe comments from
the press. Her letters seem to have stir
red up a yellow jackets’nest. Their lit
tle stings, however, are scarcely felt.
The best thing the boys can do is to “go
slow.” Mrs. Felton knows what she is
writing about. Let the “brethren” be
careful.
Rip-Roaring Harris, of the Rome Cour
ier, will do something yet. He’s trying
to annihi ate Felton. The editor of the
Courier may rip and roar as much as he
pleases ir the staid old Courier, and yet
he won’t make a rilfie on the serene wa
ters of D:. Felton’s still waters of popu
lar confidence.
If the Rome Courier can kill out Dr.
Felton, i> is bound to do so; but the Cour
ier is too weak a concern to do anything
of the soit. We feel sorry for that paper.
It wants to do something but can’t. How
ever, we admire its impotent spunk; it
cannot do anything to kill out old Fel
ton.
Quite a number of the “agonized edi
tors regret that Mrs. Felton wrote those
letters. They needn’t weep about it at
all. If they are really sorry, let them
pull out their red bandanas and mop their
tears and “dry up.” The true democra
cy are not weeping at all—not all.
THE W. AND A. RAILROAD.
Its Excellent Management Endorsed by a
Responsible Man.
Marietta, Feb. 24, 1879.
To the F"ee Press:
Having in years past been engaged in
railroadi lg, 1 am naturally inclined to
read not only all newspaper articles
which I see in regard to them, but espe
cially so as to the W. and A. R. R. It is
the State’s property —I own an interest
in it. For years I have frequently trav
eled over it. I read with pleasure in a
late issue of your paper, your editorial
and the one copied from the Rome Trib
ute, in regard to it. Thej’ both had an
independent spirit which is refreshing in
these days of doubt and hesitancy. Our
people like those “who dare speak out in
meeting” on all public questions.
The lessees of this road, since it was
leased, have been subject to all sorts of
ungenerous criticism. I have no per
sonal interest in its management; I
would see justice done. All must admit
it is better to have a safe than an unsafe
road—pleasanter to ride without fear than
in torment. No one can deny but it was
in very questionable condition when it
was leased. For years before, a feeling
of dread was excited when it. became
necessary to ride over it. Now we never
hear from passengers or outsiders any
doubts expressed as to its condition or
good m; nagement. Having lately trav
eled over it, I will give some facts seen
and accidentally gathered not given in
either of the above editorials, that the
people may see what ex-Governoi Brown
and General Mcßae have done to im
prove and make their property safe and
lasting. There has been built over the
Chiekamauga eleven first-class bridges;
they are placed on splendid stone piers
of solid nasonry and by iron rods so fas
tened down as not only to make it impos
sible for them to be washed away, but so
secure as to allow trains to pass over
them at full speed. The bridges over
Oostana ila and Chattahooche have been
made a- safe as the new ones. They
will build this summer anew one over
the Aiatoona. Seventy-five to eighty
miles of the road has been ballasted. In
other words, new ties have been laid on
6-inch macadamized stone and the spaces
between filled in with the same and then
covered with sufficient earth to make it a
smooth solid foundation. The great
speed made on this crooked road of twen
miles uu btfurj tmfudasg aborts
has been questioned by some, but in re
ality it is safer to run over this portion of
it at forty miles an hour than over most
other roads at twenty-three or twenty
five miles an hour. Again, some forty
five to fifty miles of this is laid with tiie
steel rail, and it is rumored they have
some filteen miles more of it to lay, and
that they intend as the road bed and iron
needs repairing to ballast and put down
the steel rail. When it is all done, we
prophecy they will run the express train
over it in from to 4 hours. Some
seven or eight miles of wire fencing is
seen, and I therefore judge it is their in
tention to fence the whole line of road,
and thus protect their property from lia
bility to damage, and their passengers
from the danger resulting from running
over cattle, etc. Were they to stop im
proving, I believe the road would be at
the end ot their lease as good as it was
when it was taken. Secrecy is then
motto. I know not their intentions but
from the outlook. The present superior
condition of the road, cars and engines
they will keep all up to a high standard.
It seems to me absurd to find fault with
this lease. The monthly rental of $25,-
000 is more than the state ever before re
alized for it. There is no doubt but there
will in July he a bill introduced in the
legislature to sell it, subject to-the lease.
It strikes this humble citizen it would be
a wise move.
Our state debt of $10,400,000 is a big
scarecrow to those seeking southern
homes. They know nothing of the
state’s ab-lity to pay it. Direct taxation
is the only means as seen by them. The
sale of this and the Brunswick road
would reduce it to a mere song, and then
we would stand before the world finan
cially as we do in a mineral and agricul
tural point of view, the most inviting of
tiie southern states. But aside from tjiis,
there would be a great saying to the state.
Our yearly interest claim is probably
three times in amount that is received
from these roads. The present rate ot
taxation would then in five years pay eft
the entire debt, then the taxation neces
sary to carry on the state government
would be so light as to be nominally no
thing, and the “good time coming”
would have come.
A Friend of Georgia.
A FALSEHOOD NAILED.
The following letters will explain
themselves satisfactorily to all unpreju
diced minds:
I IorSE OF REI’RESENTATIV ES, )
Washington, D. C., Feb. 24, 1879.)
Mr. Seaborn IF. Wrighi, Home, Ga.:
Dear Sir —Your letter was received
this morning, and in answer to your in
quiries, I state:
Last fail during our campaign, when
the Lester faction in the seventh congres
sional district, through the instrumental
ity of one Bryant, brought out for con
gress Mr. Holtzelaw, with the design and
for the avowed purpose of electing Judge
Lester, my wife wrote to Senator Ferry
and other prominent republicans to use
their influence in crushing out this
“trick of the organized,” which under
the guise of republicanism was seeking
to perpetuate their own rule in the 7th
district.
It is unnecessary to tell you that the
movement was crushed, and a mongrel
party was rebuked that did not hesitate
to call oil J. E. Bryant tor his kind in
terposition.
I have through General llubbell and
Senator Ferry obtained the original let
ter of my wile, of which they took an
exact copy, before it was handed to me.
Not one dollar was asked for, no pecu
niary aid was solicited, and I have a cer
tificate from George C. Gorham, secre
tary of the executive committee, that not
a dollar was furnished or proffered at any
time by the republican party to me or to
my friends to assist or further the inde
pendent movement in the 7th district. 1
will send it for publication. On the oth
er hand, I have s r< n; t stimony that the
“organized” in the 7th district did draw
money from this city to aid* and abet the
Holtzelaw movement.
Very respectfully, yours,
W. 11. Felton.
Office of Secretary of Senate, }
Washington, Feb. 19, 1879.}
Hon. W. 11. Felton , .V. C.:
Sir— l am in receipt of yours of yes
terday’s date, asking me to state whether
the republican executive committee, ot
which I am secretary, furnished pecu
niary aid to yourself or friends last fall,
and whether that committee assisted with
money or the plotter of money the inde
pendent movement in the 7th Georgia
district last fall, or any time; and finally,
whether I have any knowledge that re
publicans individually or as an organiza
tion furnished directly or indirect!} pe
cuniary aid at any time or in an}' place to
further your election.
To all these inquiries I reply in the
negative. 1 know of no pecuniary aid
rendered you or in your behalf by any
republican, individually or collectively,
at any time.
Very respectfully, yours,
George C. Gorham.
MRS. DR. FELTON IN A “GEORGIA
HOMESPUN DRESS.’*
The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Evening News says:
Conspicuous among the ladies at the
National hotel this winter is Mrs. Dr.
Felton,-of the seventh congressional dis
trict of Georgia, wearing a fashionably
made cashmere dress, the product of the
Columbus, Ga. mills. 'Hie material of
this dress is so elegant In texture, that
one can scarce believe that it was spun
and woven in Georgia—that it is not im
ported goods.
But the fact is nevertheless true, that
this piece of goods was manufactured in
Georgia, and that the Columbus mills
are turning out ladies’ dress goods of
equal texture and fineness to any of the
French and Italian manufactories. Be
sides, they an* cheaper than the foreign
importations.
With this class and quality of goods
manufactured at home, why should our
southern merchants purchase foreign im
ported goods? And why should notour
ladies of the south prefer to patronize
their home manufactured goods rather
than foreign importations? Besides, it
is democratic. Certainly none of the la
dies in the fashionable circles of Wash
ington this winter are more elegant in
form and dress than Mrs. Felton, when
appearing in the parlors in her “Georgia
homespun dress.” We hope to see all of
our southern ladies, on their return to
the capital next congress, dressed in
“Georgia homespun.” Would that we
had a dress pattern apiece for opr wife
and two grown daughters of this Georgia
homespun!
The beauty of the evening at a large
ball recently given by Queen Margaret,
of Italy, was pronounced to he the Mar

f< rty, and a grandmother, attracted uni

A NOTABLE LADY.
What the Augusta Evening Sentinel thinks
of Mrs. Felton.
The Sentinel had the following edito
rial in its columns a few days since in re
gard to the letter of Mrs. Felton :
On our first page this evening we re
produce Mrs. Felton's remarkable letter,
addressed to the editors of the Chronicle
and Constitutionalist. It is remarkable in
many ways. In the first place, few of
the gentler sex could write a letter
couched in such vigorous and marrowy
English, and fewer still are so capable of
doing literary battle with presumed as
sailants of the masculine gender. It will
be seen that she bases her counterblast
upon the double presumption that Mr.
Reese meant her and that behind Mr.
Reese is the giant whom that gentleman
claims as a valuable friend. Mr. Reese
may find it convenient or possible to deny
this two-fold accusation; but, even in
such an event, Mrs. Felton has adroitly
got in all the evidence that she deemed
important in dealing with her presump
tive adversaries. We can hardly credit
that either Gen. Gordon or Mr. Reese
would make war on a lady, no matter
how much that lady may have, in her
husband’s behalf, endeavored to thwart
their opposition to him. It is recorded
of William 'Fell that, though lie dared
death itself rather than bow to Gesler’s
cap, he \v?a perfectly willing to make
obeisance to Madame Gesler’s bonnet.
And so it should he with Mr. Felton and
his wife. We confess that we have an
admiration for Mrs. Felton beyond the
poor power of words to convey. It
every man of talent and ambition had a
partner in matrimony endowed with her
intellect and imbued with her spirit and
clothed with her robust virtues, his path
would be onward and upward without a
doubt. She is a helpmate indeed of whom
a .royal man might he -proud—his loving
aidnvhen present and his noblest buckler
when absent. Mrs. Felton is tiie Maria
Theresa of Georgia. She has the best at
tributes of a woman and the aspiring
soul of a man. She wears no diadem like
the daughter ot the Caesars but she is
fashioned in the mould of queenliest
dignity and the power of command over
inferior beings. We hesitate to believe
that any Georgian, in high or low station,
would willingly assail so devoted a wife,
so majestic a lady, so glorious an intel
lect!

DR. FELTON IN CONGRESS.
The Darien Gazette pays the following
tribute to our faithful representative:
Through the efforts of tiie Hon. Win.
11. Felton, the live and efficient congress
man from the seventh district, Savannah
and Brunswick get between them the
sum of one hundred and ten thousand
dollars. 'J'he former gets one hundred
thousand and the latter ten thousand
dollars. Dr. Felton, since Mr. Hart
ridge’s death, has worked unceasingly
for our district, and our people are under
renewed obligations to him for services
rendered. It is true that Darien gets no
appropriation tHis season, but then we
are thankful that our sister cities, Bruns
wick and Savannah did. Congressman
Felton not only faithfully and truly rep
resents the seventh district, but the
whole state. We don’t know of a more
faithful, energetic and wide-awake con
gressman than the Hon. W. 11. Felton,
of Cartersville. It seems that he has his
whole heart in the good work of improv
ing the state and doing everything in his
power that tends to build it up. We
congratulate Georgia on having such a
representative at the national capital.
New York and Illinois are following
the examples of Alabama, Maine, Mis
souri and North Carolina in reducing sal
aries of state officials and abolishing use
less offices. The New Orleans Democrat
commends this course to tiie coming con
stitutional convention in Louisiana.
The Raleigh Observer informs us that
the principal of the bonded debt of North
Carolina, according to the treasurer’s re
port, is $16,960,045. A bill which passed
ihe senate, provides for a settlement at
40, 25 and 15 per cent, of the whole debt.
