years ago the Georgian who would publicly dis
cuss the current issues of tho day, labored
under some very peculiar disadvantages. As
a citizen of the United States ho was guaran
teed the right of free opinion and free speech;
bur as a citizen of Georgia these inestimable
prerogatives of a free citizen were to be held
in strict subordination to a uris-directed pub
lic sentiment. It was a sentiment
wjv.-d r.n Institution upon 'wl
originally predicated, and which w
Jv substituted Prejudice for
Slavery was, indeed, no more. 1
down amid the relics of a past decade, never
to bo resurrected. That fact was universally
conceded. No ona even professed a desire to
see it restored; yet tho popular complaint was,
that tho Government sought to substitute for a
fundamental law recognizing slavery a new
constitution providing for its abolishment!
The colored man was indeed no longer a chat
tel; he was no longer a piece of personal
pronto#’ at the absolute disposal of a fellow-
mauche was, ass freeman, responsible to no
undivided master, but, like other freemen,
was amenable only to the government
claiming his natural and undivided allegiance.
This was, I think, universally admitted even
in Georgia five years ago; and yet so tenacious
of its prejudices was that ‘•conservatism,"
which still lingered over the memories of the
past, that it denied to the colored man his
natural prerogative of citizenship, whilst it
fully conceded his liberation from vassalage.
He was, according to the singular “con
servatism" of that day, neither slava or
freeman, neither alien or citizen, neither
freeman or bondsman, neither barbarian
or Christian, a sort of cross between
a denizen and a native citizen, and
yet without the rights and privileges of
either! To advocate the recognition of his
civil rights as a citizen of a SUte, to ask a re
cognition of his right of action or testimony
. v • -w . -a “ _i il.

of a false, but by no means impotent, public-

no better argument than the assumption that
this is “a white man’s government,* was an-
tagonistical to Bepnblicon principles. Im
partial suffrage was not then within the range
of current political discussion in Georgia—
Holding him to bo disqualified for the elective
fmncbwn by reason of his ignorance, it was
equally the policy of tho •■conservative’’ or
“bemocratio" party to keep him so, by de
priving him of the means of education and of
all the opportunities for advancement.
Closely allied to this was another issue,
which, like this, grew out of tho result* of the
war. I allude, of oouree, to the dogma of
State Sovereignty, as it was then arrayed
ngainst the policy of the General Government
on the question of Deconstruction. Profess

doned the “Lost Cause," our Democratic
friends, nevertheless, denied the right of the
Federal Congress to prescribe a Constitution
of State Government that would conform to
the Constitution and laws of the United states.
Professing adhesion to the Federal Constitu

the recognised head of the Republican party
in Georgia, was a convenient target for all
these opposing elements; and what argu
ment, and ridicule, and misrepresentation,
and abuse, could not accomplish, was
sought to be effected through the
bad faith and treachery of those whom, in an
evil hour, the Republican party embraced and
entrusted with its confidence. Bat for the
firm and manly stand of Governor Bullock,
after tho expulsion of the colored members in
1868, the condition of Georgia to-day would
doubtless have been even vroreo than that of
18CG. There is no disguising tho fact that the
frniu of tho victory ol April, 1868, were im
periled in 'September of the same year, and
this through the treachery of persons claim
ing to be Republicans, bnt who, la fact, were
only Republicans to the extent of the patron

Important Worn tor tbe Supreme Court.
Three important eases are to come up early
in the December term of the United States
no Court The first involves the eonsti-
fessed so great reverence. Claiming for them
selves the right of free speaefa, even as against
the constructive obligations of their oaths of
allegiance, these defeated and maddened
political leaders justified the existence of a lo
ad terrorism that made social ostracism or
personal violence the sure penalty of a free
expression of opinion. Men who, before the
war, honestly entertained and fearlessly ex
pressed the Opinion that tbe dogma of local
sovereignty was nutagoniatiea! to tot teachings
of the founders of the great republic, and who
therefore claimed for the General Government
tho ultimate allegiance of the citizen, now
either spoke in bated breath, or stop weakly
yielded to the prejudices engendered by e cause
less and nnsnccessfnl revolution. They acted
with those leaders who sought to re-establish
tho issues of 1860; and this in contempt oi
their own better judgment Nor was this ex
ceptional. Thousands of onr very best men
in Georgia were gnilty of this weakness. They
had opposed the war of secession inaugurated
by Democratic politicians for the perpetua
tion of a party dynasty; they had denonneed
the Charleston Convention as a treasonable
body, and held up Its leaders to the execra-
tion of the public; end yet, when the fighting
commeuefa, they very naturally submitted
their better judgment to an impulse, and took
up arms in defenso of their native section,
whilst their judgment condemned the octiou
of those who preoipiiated the struggle, and
these men it is needless to say, made tho
ablest and beat soldiers tho Southern Con
federacy ever bad.
Iu this way did the people uf the State,
irrespective of post differences, become assimi
lated in nympatby, and in tho fallacious
glories of a cause originating in antagonism
to tho laws and government of tho United
Stotts.
It was under these circumstances that tho Re
publican party of Georgia was first organized. It
was organized at a tease meeting called in tho
city of Atlanta, July 4th, 1867; aud it was tuy
privilege to preside at that meeting! I shall
never forget how unpromising were the
prospects of onr infant organization at that
time. Those who, tike Nieodomus of old,
wonld cone to ns by night, ss it were, and
profess adhesion to the principles which we
iromulgatcd, wonld sooner have put their
ends in the fire than openly profess what
they rerdfy Wieced to be the only wise and
tone policy; to-wit, the checrfnl acceptance of
tho plan of reconstruction based Jon those
broad principles of BepnblicanismjHvhicb to
day stand endorsed by nn overwhelming ma
jority of the American people. Relinking that
the principles wet_~right, we boldly pro
claimed our purpose to adhere to them until
we should tea them trinmphant^n Georgia.
Tho struggle was flereo indeed. It was in very
truth “a time to towmea’a souls." In the
fonguagp of n disJOSBished statesman, “it
was a ^rrible time I™ timid men; aud many
of our ■adherents found it necessary to elect
between forfeiture or their social position
and the abandonment of their honest political
convictions. Others found U necessary either
to recant their political opinions, to walk the
land with scaled lipe nr d^e seek a residence
beyond the limits of the State.
Ultimately, however, the triumph came. A
new Constitution wns framed, wherein is re
cognised the Civil and Fotitical Banality of
all men. A Relief end Homestead meostfre
was adopted whereby the tittle that was left to
the people of the State by the democratic war
of disintegration, was secured to them. A
system of Publib Instruction was provided,
whereby it was sought to place the means of
acquiring a plain English education within
the reach of every one, however Ttpmble.—
That barhorous relic of a feudal ago, known as
the eq. so. lijw, or imprisonment for debt, was
abolished.’ TboJ ofher twin rplip of tho ©ark
Ages, the public whipping post, was likewise
abolished. Every man in the State was mode
equal before the law, aud at the ballot, to
every other man. All stood alike unchalleng
ed as litigants or electors; and these rights
carried with them tho farther right to vote for
whomsoever they choose, be the candidate
white or black, native or foreign born. In n
word, the Republican Constitution of 1868,
sought to emancipate alike the poor black man
and the poor white man, add to give each an
equalonpottomitor with the, privileged phgst,
of acquiring and adorning a citizenship in
Georgia. After this emancipation of the
masses of both races, it was no longer a crime

and act for himself! The new Constitution

of the Empire State of the Sonth. If those

ples of constitutional liberty, who seek not to
nullify or to revolutionize the governments set

consistently act with the Republican party in
tho present canvass. Democrats! I put to
you tho question plainly: Are you in favor, to
day, of accepting tho present Cqjstitution of

XIYtli and XYtli Amendments, ns the tone
Constitution ? Aro yon in favor of unqualified

down to the level of tho other, but the other

ship without disparagement of the rights of
any.
My friends, wo claim these as the legitimate
results of the triumph of the principles of the
great Republican party of tbe United States.
It is but a realization of those great principles,
I ,public.
, mlgated by the founders of the ltcp
Je-quarters of a century ago. The contest
between popular liberty, and its antagonist,
which has sometimes assumed ono name and
sometimes another, bnt whose last qognomen
was that of -‘Democracy," has beendohg and
fearful. But the cause of tho- people tri
umphed over all opposition in tli-, election of
Gen. Grant to the I’rcsidepcy-; of the United
States in 1868, and in that-election, the en
dorsement and confirmation of tho reconstruc
tion policy of Congress, under which onr State
Government was established.
The Republicans of tho United States have
a worthy and able representative head in the
administration of Gen. Grant; the Republi
cans of Georgia, in that of Governor Bollock.
Both administrations stand endorsed by the
people; that of Gen. Grant has been more
than endorsed in tho result of the late elec
tions in tho Northern States. That of Gov
ernor Bullock, by the acts of tho Representa
tives of tho people, recently assembled in their
legislative capacity. The administration of
Gen. Grant sUndsforth conspicuously for its
action and
economy; for its faithful collection and return
of the public revenue; for its faithful and
rapid payment of the public debt; for its scru
pulous adhesion to the great principles of free
government, and for its judicious foreign
policy. That of ! Governor Bollock is
conspicuous os the first Republican ad
ministration in the State. It is conspicuous
for its instrumentality in utilizing those great
principles of political and civil equality which
give all men an equal chance before tho law,
and places all at on equal advantage (so far
os practicable) in the great bottle oflife. The
unexampled material property of the State,
under this administration, is itself au e loquent
enloginm upon its ability, and its integrity.
Never did a State administration come into
power under circumstances so tittle calculated
to make it popular with the people. It was
its province to enforce a new Constitution of
Government; to execute now, and, to ns,
novel legislation. It therefore had to encounter
the opposition, not only of all the old Bour
bon leaders, who aaw too plainly, the hand
writing upon tbe wall, but likewise tho oppo
sition of a large and respectable class of men.
whp.oppose anything that is above or beyond
same time, became convenient al|ie* |ff-the
Georgia Democracy in nullifying _
stoaction acts and in preventing Urc tqtora-
tion of the Union in accordance tkflffiftk.
Professing to oppose what is known now as
“Andy Johnson’s policy" ot reconstruction,
they nevertheless sought to reinstate those
who, in 1866, disdainfully refused to entertain,
much loss to ratify, the 14th article of the
Constitutional Amendment; and when Gov
ernor Bullock, in accordance with the cz-
pressed wishes of the Republican party of the
Bute, and tn accordance with tore until* oral
intent of the reconstruction laws of Congress,
appealed to Congress in the interest of tho
loyal people of the State, for the enforcement
of the laws; when he sought a re-organization
of the Legislature in accordance with the pro
visions of tbe General Government, he was as
bitterly assailed by these decoy leaders of the
Democratic party as by the old Bourbon lead-
selves iu the ranks of the Democratic party.
They did not believe, perhaps, that Congress
was, after all, iu earnest in its reconstruction
policy. They seemed to have tbe impression
that the Government of the United States
wonld ultimately yield the point to those Dem
ocratic politicians who controlled tho State in
1866. And, hence, while they professed to he
Republicans^ they seemed to wgj^hc name
only for tlanfuirposo »f the meri^E-clnany
serving tfl|l who oppoaedMgflrcrnction
from its earliest inception ujWWiKt time.—
They even proceeded to organize a self-styled
Central Committee, composed of persons who
were opposed to Congressional interference,
after tbe expulsion of tho oolored members.—
They denied the truth of the proposition that
tho Constitution of tho Stato conferred upon the
black man the right to hold offioe, and, .with
an effronfry unequalled in any age or country,
sought to make it npper.r abroad that they (an
inconsiderable taction) were Oit Republican
party of the Stato ! Whilst the aeta and mo
tives of these men were well understood in
Georgia, there was, at «uo time, considerable
misapprehension of tiro facts at Washington.
Of coarse it went abroad ’tljst the Republican
party of the state was divided; that the ad
ministration only embraced .a faction of tho
party in the State; that it souglifn reorgani
zation of the Legislature only Jor selfish and
unworty ends, and tiiat those who were op
posed to the administration were the only
honest men in the party! All that, however,
was soon corrected by time. It soon became
kuotyn that tho Republicans of the State,
almost to a man, stood by the Administration,
S d when tho Act of December 2d, 1869, bo
rne a law, the battle was transferred from
Washington to Atlanta. Here the opposition
of 1866,1867 qnc( 1868, marshaled their forces
for the lost terrible conflict. It was to be the
last act in thedrama<of reconstruction. And,
to strengthen "their forces and give plan-
ibility to theft claim of obedience to law,
aey selected ah their candidate for Speaker,
at the re-or^knization, a man who had previ
ously passed as a Republican,-but who had re
cently loaned Jimself as an instrument io the
tained Governor Bullock in his efforts at
Washington now sustained him in iris (efforts
to excoote the laws of Congress. A. reorgani
zation was had, and, for the first time'in the
history of Georgia, was legislation commenced
in accordance with the requirements of the
new Constitution. As a result of this, wo have
the Public School Iaw, the Homestead Exemp
tion Law, numerous charters for new and im
portant railroads, and an election law adapted
to tho new extension of the franchise iu Geor-
31 The canvass in which wears now entering
is ono of equal importance to that of 1868- It
wo would maintain the fruits of the victory of
that election, we must win this. IT wo wonld
not nullify the new Constitution by torning
the State over to the hands of the revolntion-
ary Democracy, we should elect onr candi
dates in every county and district in the State.
It is a prominent and taTorite scheme with
this revolutionary friction of the Democracy to
repeal most, if not oil, tho legislation of the pre-
ent year, should they come into power. They
even go so fin: as to openly advocate the repu
diation of the bonds of the State gut^on-ed
to be issued qnd now in existence; and they
propose, by constitutional amendments, to
emasculate the present Constitution of the
State so as to make it harmonize with the pet
views and issues of the Democracy of 1868.
This has been openly proclaimed, both in the
Senate and House of the General Assembly,
as well as through the Democratic press of the
State. Indeed, they have adopted a platform
of principles identical with the National Dem
ocratic platform of 1868, thereby pledging
themselves (should they eomo into power) to
tk,. XlYtli and XVlh f .:..-li!uti< :.al
Amendments; to nullify the Acts of Congress
in so for as those Acts impose disabilities for
holding office; and, in short, to inaugurate a
revolution as tins contoigplatcd by the
Democratic nominee for Vico President in
18G8. ’ '
It is against this faction of the Democracy,
and not against Democrats as such, that the
Republicans of 1870 now make war iu Geor-
constmction? And do you really support and
maintain tho new Constitution of the State and
the State Government as setup thereunder?
If yon can answer me affirmatively, then yon
have no issue to make with tho Republican
party of the Stato. If yon ore note willing to
concede to every man, irrespective of- the
accident of his birth, or of _ hi^
vious condition,tho right to a voice *n the
government; if you are note wilting to see
the lowly elevated by a just and wise
legislation; if you are now wilting to let
the dead past bnry its dead; if yon are now
writing to go with us in the future, in the
maintenance of qpr present government, and
tho development of tho material and in
dustrial resources of the State, then I am
authorized to say to yon that the platform of
*’ ’is wtoe
tho Republican party' is wBlo enough for you
and all others who will now co-operate with
I see before mo a number of gentlemen who
belonged to the old "Whig party in days gone
by. That was indeed a noble old organiza-
zation, and it is one of the proudest reflections
of my life that I belonged to it in the days of
its power and prestige. It was a party that
always denied the revolutionary dogma of local
or State sovereignty. Under the leadership of
Mr. Clay'and Mr. Webster, it denied tho di-
viao right of Slavery, repudiated as treasona
ble tho doctrine that the ultimate allegiance of
the citizen was due to the State Government,
and HQmcMhat the genius of Republican in-
stitution^and tho stability of our Free Gov
ernment, demanded primary allegiance to the
Union. Yon, as Whigs and Union men in
I860, contemplated with horror tho pro
position, made by this revolntionaiy Dem
ocratic party, to sever tho Union and establish
thirty-two Republics, where, in law, there
oonld be bnt one. Yon never yielded yonr
consent to co-opera to with theta ;n the estab
lishment of the proposition that the Union
was simply a “compact,” a rope of sand, to
be broken at tho will of any one State. Yon
held the Union paramount to everything else,
bat yon yielded an acquiescence to the domin
ation of* this Democratic f.ictiopSMMv when

the oontest is over; now that tho principles of
tho Federal or Whig party, as enunciated by
Hamilton, and Washington,
_ and Adams, have
been vindicated; now ’that the Declaration of
Independence has, for the first time in the
history of tho United States, been mode a
practical and living reality in all the States;
now that the dogma of Secession and ultimate
State allegiance has been decided by the high
est tribunal known to civilized nations; now
that the whole issue which onee divided the
Whig and Democratic parties, or the Union
and the Secession parties, has been settled,
and settled fearer, allow me to ask yon, in all
' ‘ less, art.vou prepared to re-open those
? Are you prepared, at this late day, to
renonnee yonr ancient faith, and ally your
selves with your old enemies who openly pro
claim that “the war settled no political ques
tions” and that the constitutional right of Se
cession still exists? Why, these Democratic
leaden even tell yon that the question of Se
cession is simply adjourned, not settled; and
that whilst it may be “inexpedient” to put
into ptactioe their pernicious doctrines, they,
nevertheless, intimate quite plainly that -’the
time may come” when they can hare a new
hearing!
Now. uentiemen. if the principles of tho
Whig party were right in 181S, 1S00 and 1856,
they are right to-day; and if the principles
enunciated oy Ur- Calhoun and the nnltinera
of 1833 were pernicious; if the principles
ennnaiated in I860 by Mr. Yancey, Mr. Breck
inridge^ and the Secession leaders of the De
mocracy were revolntionaiy in I860, they are
so still. Tbe only difference is, that a Demo
crat in I860, to bp consistent with his theory
of government, mast necessarily advocate tho
right of Secession; whereas, now having ap
pealed to the highest tribunal known to civil
ized nations for adjudication of the question
which had long been mooted, and the deci

turned their backs upon the past, and surren

those arms were taken up. Therefore it is,
that we find in the Republican party of Geor-
mony of the old Democratic

consistent; they are simply carrying ont their
pledges, made at the beginning of the war,
to abide (he issue. They are simply true to
their oaths of allegiance, given at the close of
the war, to support the Government of the
United States ns against all other govern
ments, and the proclamation of emancipation
as against all laws and ordinances. How,

rcction of an issue, which according to his
opinion, never had any merits ?
The issae of the present campaign, there
fore, presents this simple proposition: Aro the
People willing at this timo to accept tho pres
ent status of things as imposed by the Con-
css of tho United States, and by the Consti-
_ ition of the State? Are my Old Lino-Whig
friends willing to open np the avenues of in
telligence and enterprise to all men in the
State, regardless of color or previous condi
tion? Are they willing that the present re
markable prosperity of the State should be
continued or accelerated by the administra
tion of the government os we now find it? If
so, I then say to yon that the lULkof the Re
publican party are so extendeoiS to embrace
yon, no less than all who originally acted
with us. _
The Republican party in Georgia have no
enemies to punish. It seeks not to discrimi
nate against those who may have differed with
ns in the past. It seeks n< t a monopoly of
the offices or emoluments of government; bnt
it simply seeks to secure to the citizens of the
State, all those civil and political rights guar
anteed by tho Constitution of the State, and
by tbe Constitution of the United States. We
hands of the revolutionary Democracy.', The therefore make war upon no party, except that
result is well known. ' Tho people who sns- faction of the Democracy, which do not re
cognize the existing Constitution and Laws os

vitalize that organization of 1860 and 1861,
which dragged onr State into revolution and
anarchy, and which covered onr land with
mourning from one end to the other.
Old lane Whigs, Conservative Union men,
progressive Democrats, [Anti-reconstrnction-

To Detect the Age of Itaadwrltlng.
Attempts have been made to invent a meth
od for approximately determining the age of
any writing. Iron inks suffer a change in pro
cess of time, and becomes yellow, the organic
constitnents disappear and the iron becomes
more prominent. By moistening tho writing
with weak hydrochloric acid (lacid, 12 water)
if tho ink is old a faint copy can be obtained,
and the newer the writing the plainer will he
the copy. In experiments made by Carre,
handwriting thirty years old gave scarcely any
impression—an anthentic document from the
year 1787 yielding mere traces. Soaking the
paper in weak hydrochloric, ricjti give* opposite
results, ns bau4wri{ing a few months or a few
years old is at once removed by this acid, while
old ink has' suffered such a chemical change
that the acid no longer acts upon it. After
the experiment it is well to neutralize the acid
by suspending tho paper over a capsule con
taining sal ammoniac. The test appears to be
only applicable to writing several years old,
and is confined to iron inks.
TU« Sleeping Beauty.
The medical fraternity of St. Louis liavo
been sitting upon the Sleeping Beauty of
Hickman, Kentucky, and their conclusion is
that she is a humbug. Tho sitting was not
a physical operation, with the weight of the
body superimposed, but one of those medical
consultations wherein a dozen or so members
of the Esculapiau profession draw their chairs
in a circle, flourish their pocket handkerchiefs,
nod to each otheriutelligently, sfrokethe nose
with the ^ dexter digit, glance at tlfP%0Hjug,
quote difficult Latin that is lit for epnurojfcn
the mummies of Egypt, but frequent onTirug-
gists’ bottles, mutter confidentially such terms
as “diagnosis,” “non comatose," physiological
phenomena," &C.; and finally draw up a wri
ting certifying that “we, of the medical fra
ternity of so-and-so, after due deliberation and
scientific investigation, with experimental de
monstration, accompanied with appliances of
modern formation, do lind-that,” &c. This
he manner and w^JBLpf the medical
in the case oi Misy^uodsey, the re-
fble Sleeping Beauty of Western Ken
tucky, save the certain curious ones of this
medical conclave of saw-bones who were pos
sibly desirous of rivaling the discovery of Har
vey,poked thrnr fingers in the Sleeping Beauty’s
eyes, pinchea her cheeks and limbs, shook her
body, stuck her with a needle, and by other
wake-up processes sought as well to spoil her
handsomeness as to arouse her to light and
life. That was a cruel verdict of those distin
guished practitioners, for it exploded the mys
tery of how a woman, of remarkable beauty of
facial expression and physical perfection of
form, could only keep awake two hoars out of
tbe twenty-four,, and thus exist for twenty-one
years, 'the cold, steel scalpel cut without
compunction, however, and the judgment is
solemly entered by tho medical wiseacres of
St Louis that the Sleeping Beauty is “a pure
and unadulterated humbug, trained for purpo-
of deception."
e Xew York Knickerbocker,
ustin McCarthy thus describes the old
New ^rk families:
What is a Knickerbocker? One of the
grand old legendary families who live in what
may be called the Faubourg St Germain of
New York; one of those who had grandfathers
and ancestors, and are prond of them; who
data hack to Peter Stuyvesant and his peers
and paladins; who aro Republicans with a
picturesque Old World dash of legitimacy
over them; who shrink back from Shoddy as a
Larochcjaquelein might from a Mires; who
would rather be poor, if needs were, than be
mixed up with any of the vulgarity of modem
ealth; and who would be offended if they
were mistaken for residents of Fifth
avenue. Leave the . luxurious vassals of
Fifth avenue, Murray Hill and Madison av
enue, you inquiring European stranger of
intellect and pensive mind; wander toward
the East river, nntil yoa emerge from shops
and noise and traffics, and modern activity into
the solemn, stately monotony and majestic si
lence of Second avenue. There dwell the
Knickerbockers in dignified isolation, fading
grandly away, aito perituri, bat touching and
sublime in their fait Modern degeneracy has
not reached them. Go there, contemplative
stranger, in the twilight, and not in the garish
day, and say whether even New York has not
its ruins and its romance; whether even mod
ern commerce may not have its old noblesse,
democracy its traditions of gentility, republi
canism its legitimacy and its stately futile
protests against a too clamorous and vulgar
progress. The Coliseum has been done to
rags; the Alhambra is “played;" the Faubourg
St Germain is worn ont Will no poet of
melancholy spirit feed his sat^ soul wilh med
itations among the Knickerbocker mansions
of Second avenne, New York ?
Strong Character.
Strength of character consists of two things—
power of will and power of self-restraint. It
requires two things, therefore, for its ex
istence—strong feelings and strong command
over them. Now, it is here we make a great
mistake; wo mistake strong feelings for strong
character. A man who bears ail before him,
before whose frown domestics tremble, and
whose bursts of fury make the children of the
household quake—because ho has his
obeyed, and his own wav in all things—1
call him a strong man. The truth is, that is
the weak man; it his passions that are strong;
he, mastered by them is weak. You must
measure the strength of a man by the power
of the feelings he subdaes, not by the power
of those which subdue him.
And hence composure is vety often tho high
est result of strength. Did we never see a
man receive a flagrant insult, and only grow a
little pale and then reply qnietly ? That is a
a nun in anguish stond, as if carved ont of
solid rock, mastering himself? Or one bear
ing a hopeless daily trial remain silent, and
never tell the world what cankered his home
peace? That is strength. He who, with
strong passions, remains chasto; he who,
keenly sensitive, with manly powers of indig
nation in him, can be provoked, and yet re
strain himself, and forgive—these are strong
men, the spiritual heroes.
A Card to Senciblc. People. Rational
reader, if the aspect of the weather was uncertain you
would not be foolish enough to venture out without an
overcoat or an umbrella. Haro the forecast, then, to
protect yourself at this dangerous season with some
thing more important than either of these articles.
Strenghten your stomach and nervous system; regu
late your liver and your bowels, tone all your organs
and cheer your animal spirits with that agreeable cor
dial, tonic and alterative, Hostetler's Stomach Bitters.
So shall you sorely escape tho dlaeaaea which fasten
upon the feeble and debilitated.
“Suffer and be strong," says tho proverb; but be
strong that you may not suffer is the better maxim
and of all strengthening this is the safest, the surest;
the most genial. As a remedy, as well as an antidote,
for dyspepsia, fever and ague, and liver disease, there
combination of vegetable spccifUc at present
known which even approaches it in efficacy.
Anticipate tho enemy. Tho elements of innumera
ble diseases arc afloat in tho raw, damp, mephitic

not, good reader ? That iB the question. A bottle o*
two of the great defensive medicine of the age, Hos-
testcr’s Bitters, will so strengthen aud brace up you 1
bodily powers to enable them to laugh a siogo to scorn.

Napoleon’s Novel.
Not alone was food for scandal discovered
iu the Emperor’s escritoire by the committee
charged with the task of “editing" his papers.
The sketch of a novel was discovered in his
handwriting, which may be thus epitomized:
M. Benoit, an honest grocer of Moon street,
goes to America in 1847, and alter traveling
extensively in the United States, returns to
France in April, 1868, expecting to find that
country groaning under an infamous despot
ism, as informed by French refugees. Enter
ing the harbor of Brest, accordingly, he won
ders at the black, ugly substitutes for the line-
of-battte-ship, and is told that they ore armor-
plated vessels, the invention of the Emperor.
Clothed in iron, they ore proof against shot, and
this transformation has destroyed to a certain
extent, the naval'snpremocy of England. His
astonishment knows no bounds os he sees, on
lauding, an orderly crowd on its way to the
polls and learns of universal suffrage. The
great railroad system of the empire, the net
work of telegraph lines, the fortifications, em
bellishments, order, cleanliness, and,especially I
the immense improvements of the streets of
Paris fills him with wonder and admiration;l
and when he finds everything cheap, owing to I
the commercial treaty, no political prisoners,
the exiles returned, a free and universal peace,
order and prosperity, his surprise knows no I
bounds. Not an intricate plot, cerfefifcly, bnt
doubtless tho Emperor found relief from the
cares of state in its production, and it is, at all
events, an innocent romance, r ^ m
The Progress of German Unity.
The battle of Sadown, 1866, made Prussia
mistress of North Germany, and gave birth to
the Northern Confederation. It did more—it
taught the South German States the propriety,
if not the necessity, of courting the friendly
alliance of the North. No sooner was the
treaty of peace signed between Austria and
Prussia than the fact was made public, much
to* the annoyance of the Emperor Napoleon,
that Prussia and the Northern Confederation
fyld entered into a military alliance, offensive
and defensive, with Bavana and Wurtemburg
and Baden. A military alliance with these
South German States was not all that Bismarck
and the German unionists who acted with him
wanted. More, however, it was impossible for
the present to obtain. Sedan has now accom
plished what Sadowa left undone. Baden, it
was nlways known, was impatient for a closer
union with tho North. There were donbts
about Wnrtembnrg and Bavaria. It appears
that Bavaria and Wartembqrg have made an
end of those doubts by a formal vote in favor
of confederation with tho North. If this be
correct, Germany is now more a unit than she
has ever been in all her previous history, and
Count Bismarck has gloriously crowned the
edifice. In all future time Bismarck will be
spoken of as the most daring and most suc
cessful of the statesmen of the nineteenth cen-
tury.

BtrictiOQB therein named, to-wit:
The monthly rental shall not bo less than twenty

es shall give a bond for tho sum of eight millions
of dollars ($8,000,000) to securing the prompt payment
of the amount of rental agreed upon, and for tho re
turn of the road and its appurtances at tho expiration

jority of the whole interest in the lease. No railroad
or express company, or any combination of them,
shall, in any event, become the lessees, but they may
become sureties on the bonds of the lessees. The les
sees aball not charge a higher rate for local freights

said roads, and the said lessees shall hare the same
rights, exemptions, privileges, immunities and guar
antees, except the establishment of banks, and shall
be subject to the same liabilities, disabilities, and pub-
lio burdens of said railroad companies last mentioned.
The faith of the Stats is pledged to redeem all mort
gage bonds and coupon* now resting on the State Road
as they fall due, and to save the lessees harmless
against all such bonds and coupons.
The lessees are by this act constituted a body corpo

munities, as are usual with railroad companies, and

tic Railroad.

December next, and must bo addressed “to the Gover
nor of the State of Georgia, at Atlanta,” and marked

ern and Atlantic Railroad, in accordance with an Act
approved October 24,1870.” The proposals must state

to make proposition, the amount that each of the par-
ties therein named are worth over and above their
debts and liabilities, together with a full description of
the character of tho security which will be offered to

The property to be leased is a single track railroad,
one hundred and thirty-eight miles in length, with
frill and complete equipment of shops, depots, turn
outs, shielings, engines, cars, etc., etc., etc.,
