Mr. Jefferson Davis Ins a knack of say
ittg tlie wrong thing at the wrong time.
At the reunion of tb Army of Northern
Virginia, on the 22*1 instant, at New Or*
leans, he made his little speech, in which
he said the cause was not lost, hut only
sleeping. In referring, to the stirring
•vents of the late war, in which those be
fore him had participated, he said :
•' You have done your duty in the past,
and may Qod spare you to do it in the fu
ture, should ever necessity again arise.”
We are opposed to these reunions, any
way. They are productive of no good.
They are not representative, for hut few
of the rank and tile can attend. Wo were
a soldier of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, and participated in the aforesaid
stirring events, hut w e do not care to at
tend a reunion—there are too many that
can not attend until that grand reunion
above, where no foolish speeches will he
made.
Since the above was put in type, the
gratifying news comes to us that Mr. Davis
did not make use of the foolish speech as
reported above. We arc glad of it. It
was simply an attempt to lire the North
ern heart. Hut we believe it would be the
part of wisdom for Mr. Davis to make no
more public speeches. They offer too
good a chance for malignant misrepresen
tation.

1)r. Felton's theory seems to be, from

to build a narrow-gunge railroad from
Lincolnton to intersect the Georgia rail
road at Thomson, and thence to some
eligible point on the Central railroad. It
is also a part of the plan, if sufficient
assistance can he obtained, to extend the
road to Kibe it on.— Mr Dujfie Journal.
Felton in his rejoinder to Hon Hill's
letter is more venomous than at first, and
furnishes further proof that he was acting
the part of a hvpocri'o when lauding Mr.
Hill some years back. If Mr. Hill is all
Mr. Felton claims him to lie. he chose a
strange man Tor his friend. His ” consis
tency ” is of the gruel order—very thin.
William Arp. who comes to town
occasionally, in order to warm his feet and

Tire Augusta Chronicle's correspondent
at Washington writes that paper : “Con
gressmen are busily engaged in sending
seed to their clamorous constituents, who
seem to think “garden sass” that has a
Washington flavor quite superior to the
home-raised article. In many instances,
I think such persons are the victims of
misplaced confidence.”
Statistics show that suicides have
increased in percentage in recent years.
Last year there was one in every 5.253; in
the preceding year, one in about every
6.500; in the year before that, one in

was as low as one in every 7.400; in 1875,
however, it was one in every 5,800, approx
imating the percentage of last year.

Are our people asleep on the subject of
building a narrow-guage railroad from
Carncsville by way of Danielsville to
Athena? We have heard nothing of it
for some time past, and are afraid our
citi/.eus are not thoroughly alive to the
importance of such a connection. It striked
us that the almost impassable conditioif 0 f
the roads for the past few weeks.wemkyfj n j,
the hauling of freights almost an
bility, is of itself a very strong argnm, „t
in favor of the immediate construction!,j|
the road.
A
The contract has already been let jj or
the building of the road from West How^ rfj _
ville to Carncsville, which will
be done in a short time.
It is almost an absolute necessity
city of Athens, in order to neutralize^{| lU
damaging effect to her trade of the building
of the Klberton Air-Line, to constrict n
road from that city to some point on j], e
Klberton Road, and the constructioi „f
the Carncsville Road will render it hig,]y
advantageous to Athens to connect vv th
that point as she would then cross the J.;.
A. L. and be m direct communication
with Hartwell, which would concentr.,| t .
the trade of a large section of country j„
Georgia and South Carolina at Atly, s .
tluu city being the best and most avail! ,i L .
market.
Under this view of the case, wo f>, t q
satisfied that the road from Athens
Carncsville will be built; and, inasm\i,
as it will only require a slight deflection
from a straight line to bring it by Danlcls
i vtHc, we feel sure that the people of
Danielsville and Madison county can
secure it by subscribing liberally to its
construction.
Arouse, then, citizens of Madison, and
put forth a mighty effort to secure this
great desideratum, before it is too late.
All that is necessary in our opinion, is “a
long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto
gether.”

Ldlcr From .Senator Itroivn.
United States Senate Chamber,
Washington, January 17, 1882.
Colonel J. 11. Estill. Savannah, Ga.—
Dear Sir:—l have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter
informing tne that there are reports in
circulation in Georgia that I applied to
President Arthur to permit me to
control the patronage of Georgia, and
that he declined to do so on account of
mv democracy, etc.
In reply, I have to state that there
is no foundation whatever for such
reports. My personal relations with
President Arthur have been pleasant
ever since I first met him, but he un
derstands very well mv position as a
democratic senator, and I understand
his position as a republican president;
and while, in accordance with the
request of many of my constituents, I
have presented the names of a few
persons to him who were seeking ap
pointment, with such recommenda-
tions as I thought them entitled to. 1
have never on any occasion intimated
to him that I would like to have the
control of the patronage of my state,
and I have never expected or desired
it. My opinion is that most of the
democrats who remain true to their
principles and to their duty as dem
ocrats, who hold federal offices worth
anything, will be displaced to make
room for republicans, or for the class of
democrats who may be influenced and
won over to alliance with the republican
party by the favor of offices bestowed
upon them.
You further call my attention to the
fact that there are reports that I had been
approached by the administration and
desired to take charge of what ia termed
the new movement in Georgia. This,
too, is entirely incorrect. My position
as a democrat is well understood by
the administration. I am not aware
of any act I have done here, or any
thing I have said indicating in the
slightest degree a purpose to depart
from my duty as a democrat, I know
there iwa disposition on the part of
those who are attempting to consolidate
an alliance between the republicans
and a class of democrats who arc dis
satisfied with the party and are ready
to leave it, to characterize every man
who acts with the democracy and
maintains its organization ns nhonrbon ;
\d they’ appeal to every man who is
| in favor of progress and of the accept
ance of the reconstruction measures
ainj tlir faithful execution tv Join the
new organization.
There can be no reason for this in
Georgia, as the democratic party, an
majority of it, ns at
is on the progressive
line, j have accepted the recon
struction measures and the constitu
tional amendments in good faith, and
in.end to stand by them and carry
thnn out in Iqfter and spirit, and to
se* to it that legal justice is done to
the citizens of the state without
regaWfU* ra ce yr color. The democracy
intends that there is a free ballot
and a fair count, and that the legal
rights of the humblest citizen are pro
tected as sacredly as those of the
wealthy and influential.
Surely the people of neither race is
ready to encourage any new move
ment or any other sort of a movement
that would subvert the old principles
of the fathers of the republic, obliterate
the old landmarks of society, or break
the new ties that bind us together.
This is a vital question that both races,
and all the people of Georgia are
interested in. And if there be any
restless spirits who would be willing
to encourage disorganization and dis
integration and destroy the prosperity
we now enjoy for the prospect of
political promotion or otherwise, I am
obliged to think they will find them
selves encouraged by a meagre follow
ing.
1 I trust it is scarce!}' necessary for
—no to any to you or to the people that
I [ can give no countenance to the new
movement. I see no necessity for it.
I expect to vote for the democratic
nominee for governor of Georgia in
18S2 and for the democratic nominee
for president and vice president in 1834,
if I live to see the elections, and shall
bo glad to contribute my humble mite
to the success of the democratic party
upon a liberal and just platform, which
[ have no doubt it will occupy, and I
trust the great body of people will feel
it their duty to do the same.
Very respectfully,
Josih'ii E. Brown.
