(artersvllli*, Georgia. March ft, 1879. 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 wnhia tfcu yuurJ. -Tbat’a aii! • • .. . „ „ 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 quese Villeneuve, who although over f< rty, and a grandmother, attracted uni vertAd aUmirutaouA * 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. Danville, Va., Feb. 27. —Judge Alex ander Rives is holding United States court here. Five county court judges were indicted by the grand jury for fail ing to allow negro jurors. Great indig nation prevails. One hundred and three boys between the ages of 14 and 19 are now confined in the California state prison. The leaders of the greenback party are in Washington perfecting their organi zation.
