Condensed Legislature proceedings

Both branches of the Legislature
met and organized on yesterday. L.

Senate, and Smith of Muscogee speak
er of the House. M added elected
clerk of the House, Carrington, assis
tant.

tleman in Webster county’ had inten
ded to enter him for a premium as
the ugliest man, but Kin l)ail hav
ing come in from Texas, will bo on
hand, and the Webster county gen
tleman is respectfully withdrawn.
There is still a chance for home folks.
It will be seen from an oflieial doc
ument in anotliov column that Gov-
Bullock has resigned the office of
Executive of the State, and that Ben
jamin Conley, President of the Sonate,
has been appointed to till the office.—
In our next we will publish Bullock’s
card to tiro public stating the reasons
for bis action ; and will add that the
principal reason given was four of im
peachment.
Drowning men will catch at straws,
and fading glory, like an oft-used ta
per, will flicker in its socket until it
finally succumbs to the devouring ele
ment, and its substance is scatter ed hy
every passing breeze. It is with re
gret that we have to apply those senti
ments to the onco flourishing city of
Cuthbert, but “tlio edict lias gene
forth, the handwriting is upon the
wall ” Having JAyJ-winked the pub
lic, they would have tiro people be
lieve that that place wa» to bo the
commercial centre and distributing
point for this section of country and
Florida. But her plans in this direc
tion cauio Tumlin down ; the Bullock
has been Schlattcred; and now, friends,
though you may excel in tlio ’Possom
yield, you may Saic-tell the w ild wastes
thereabout are inhabited and Chris
tianized, but if you Sear-right, vi e can
make merry over your Simmons many
times before forged Georgia Bonds will
bo issued to complete your railroads or
redeem the pretty money that now’
moulders in your safes, which you
would be proud to barter for half the
amount of Bacon that it cost to get it
there. Had we known the condition
of our brother’s comruisary department
we would not have encouraged our
boys to go on the line of railroad ’pos
som hunting. Wo now advise them
to keep away, tor there aro none to
spare.
Reobgaxization among the Geo can
Padicals. —The editor of the Atlanta
Constitution writes from Dalton :
I hear many rumors of an entire re
organization of the Republican party
in Georgia. The body of the party
are against Bullock und Blodgett, and
a strong effort will be made to throw
them overboard. I learn that leading
men in the organization contemplate
calling a State Convention. It is pro
posed to reconstruct the Executive
Committee. Akeruiau it i3 believed,
will take a prominent part. Already
his Radical State friends aro urging
his name for Governor. The name oi
Dawson A. Walker is also mentioned.
Os one thing I am assured, and that
is, that a lively Radical warfare is pro
posed against his sacred Majesty Ru
fus, and his henchman-in-cl.ief, Foster
of the State Road. Their “frods,” as
the pure Convede used to dub irregu
larities, aro too heavy for even that
pious party of moral ideas to tote safely.

Atlanta, Oct. 80.—Gov. Bullock re
signed his office on the 23J to lake ef
fect to-day, and at 3 r. m. Bonj. Con
ley, President of tlio Senate, wa3 in
stalled as Governor. The resignation
was written before his flight to New
York. Great excitement prevails.
The statement a few days back that
Charles L. Schlatter, Superintendent
of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad
bad left with railroad property is in
correct. Thors is nothing charged
against Schalter.

Owing to the fact that wo were not
in regular altcudanco each day ut tlio

ers would like to hear something of
this successful project, wo condense
Rom the Savannah J lorutng Xnvs
enough of “J. C. ll’s.” comsponding
lettci as will convince the reader oi
the magnitude of the enterprise :
As you approach the entrance gate,
you are struck with its picturesque tip
-1 pen ranee, and this f cling glows as
! v < ugi t. nearer. The elaborate finish
of the gate thews taste and judgment.
: It is artistic us well as convenient, and
combines, in a most remarkable de
gree, the useful with the agreeable.—
I You will find, upon inspection, that
what is true of the entrance gate is al
-1 to Due of every structure upon the
gi< units. They were designed and
constructed in the best possible style,
| and yon will he told hy visitors from
! the North© and West that they me
the meet beautiful, commodious and
convenient Fair Luildir gs in the Un
ion.
, Directly in front you see a fine gave
' of lurest trees, in the midst of which
is the half-mile track, Numerous
seats are scattered throughout the
grove, and hero and there a statuo
or a fountain gleams white through
tho shadows. Beyond, the buildings
and halls if die Exposition rise into
view. Altogether, it is a most impres
sive scene, and you led that nature
i and art have combined to make the
most magnificent fair grounds on the
continent.
The largo building to the right as
you approach tlio centre is the Machin
ery Hull. A system oi shafting run
ning from one und to tiie other is
driven hy a large portable steam en
gine in the rear. il<-re the gins and
machinery w ill he tested.
Further cm you eomo to tlio flying
ponies. Looking uhout, you observe
several booths, from tho entrances of
which men (who roil their r's us if
that unfortunate consonant was red
hot) are wildly appealing to various
small boys and negroes to seize upon
this their last opportunity of b holding
ali tae curiosities ol earth, gathered at
groat expense from tho tropics as well
us from tlio boreal regions.
This large building hero to our left
is tho dining-hall, it is capable of
seating at least five bundled people at
onco. Tho bread ovens in tho cook
room can bake two barrels ol flour at
one time, while numbers of nogs are
offered up daily on the ranges as a
holocaust to those who hanker after
the flesh pots of Macon. Below tho
dining-hall is tho Ladies’ cottage, a
beautiful specimen of architectural
taste —comloi table aud convenient.—
To tho right of this is a liquor foun
tain and cigar eta ids. Be ware oi
Item. Til front oi' tho Ladies’ Cottage
is a beautiful fountain. Beyond this
is tlio single truck railroad. Near by
rises Floral Hail. You at once make
a mental note to the effect that it is
the finest structure on tho grounds.—
The scene is dazzling beyond descrip
tion, and you mako another mental,
note, the purport of w hich is that you
have never before behold such a col
lection of beautiful women. They
stream by you in myriads. They pass
you by tlio thousand. You are be
wildered—confused. Tho mixture of
blonde and brunette, and tlio inter
mediate character.sties of beauty—tho
sparkle of blue, black and hazel eyes
—are all exquisitely confuting, and
you lay your hand upon your manly
bosom and thank Ilcaven that jou are
a Georgian. • You are impressed with
the idea that no other land upon earth
can lay claim to such beautiful women
aud such brave men. Some ono in
quires as to the whereabouts of tlio
l’rettiest Gill in Georgia. You turn
upon liiui fiercely. Bali! Go to, thou
blockhead, dlio P. G. in G. is a myth
and a humbug—tho plaything of
thoughtless editors. Behold the Pret
tiest Women in tho World ! and you
point out to your enquiring friend tlio
dazzling assemblage of Floral Hull.—
The exhibition of articles in this Hall
is very fine—th« finest perhaps on tlio
grounds. There are three fioors, and
all the available space is tilled. The
walls are elegantly decorated, and ev
erything about the building is finished
with tlio most exquisite taste.
Y r ou pass up to the roof by means
of a stairway and find yourself upon
ono of the turrets oi the buildings.—
Hero you have a splendid view of the
race-track, the grand stand, the
Judge’s stand, etc. Y u also have a
view of the main music stand, from
which the fine hand of the Second U.
ft. Infantry is discoursing eloquent
music. Beyond the music stand is
Premium llall, to which, after you
have escaped the delightful thralls ot
tlio Plural Temple, y~u make your
way. On your left, as you enter, is a
branch of the Western Union Tele
graph office, and the Southern Express.
On your right is tho Acme Press of
the Macon Citizen. On your left,
again, is one of the wonders of the
age in the shape of Abel’s Combina
tion Loom. Further on is a magnifi
cent collection of buggies and car
riage© of every conceivable 6tyle.
You make your way. to tho second
floor, aud, strolling around, find your
self face to face with a veritable Hoa-
then Chinee, who is busily engaged in
showing how ho can cook. You taste
his biscuit, and conclude that this, at
least, is a game he understands.
*****
There is a g’eneral move toward the
river, for the purpose of witnessing
the boat races. The terraced bank is
already crowded with ladies, gentlo
men and children. In order to have
a bettor view of the race, and to enjoy
the occasion thoroughly, you step
aboard of Pope Freeman’s little steam
er, and go puffing up the stream at a
great rate. The sceno is of the gayest
description. Thousands of beautiful
ladies, arrayed in the brightest colors,
the soft haze of Indian summer, the
autumn-tinted foliage of the trees,
dappled clouds drifting slowly to tko
West, sudden gusts of sweet music on
the wind, add each a charm to tho
hour, and you find yourself wondering j
whether all this is reality. Surely j
there Yitis never been justsuch a econo
since tho famous days of the good Ha
roun A1 Raschild.
A shout from too shore calls your
attention to tho fact that tho race has
begun. Three boats have entered—
j the Lucille and Alice, of Savannah,
| and n bout rowed hy the Rolf Club,
jof Macon. The Lucillo is leading,
j hut the Macon boat is closo at hand.
I Macon puts on a spurt for the front.
! Kimball, my boy, couie down to your
knitting. Mil.er, straighten yourself,
j Schley, you are wanted. Titcomb,
! lean to your oars Dear children, one
pull for old Savannah. Once more—
uud onco again ! Ah ! tin to we are,
' sale to tho front—uiuDho raco is won.
But the Mucou hoys wero close at
hand. They swing tin ir oars as if
they had been born on tiro tails,
i And thus tho week flies away and ,
Saturday comes, and though tlio Fair
is by no means over, you have an en- j
gngeuicnt in Savannah on Sunday.— j
You acknowledge this fact with re- j
gret. You have enjoyi and yourself tlior- i
oughiy, and you l'eul liko congratulat
ing ever body you meet. That is, tra
ditionally, gentle reader, if your linos ]
have been east in as pleasant places as I
mine.
I trust that tho Committee which
attended the Fair on tho pait of tho
Industrial Association took pretty full ,
notes. The State Fair through the
energy and foresight of Huff and tho
liberality of Macon and her citizens,
has been made oi o of the grandest
successes of the season.

The Atlanta Constitution has the
following in regard to tho affairs of
this road. Now that rascality is being
made public, and I’m chief actors are
flying from tho gaze of these who ela
niov for an honest investigation of af
fairs, w’o wonder liow many conscicn
dcs there aro condemning those who
were aiders aud abetors in this great
fraud:
Wo are informed by the letter to
which wo referred yesterday that Mr
J. A. Burns, the Superintendent of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, on
the morning of the 20th, left tho road
without notice to any one>
Among the contractors to whom it
is said Kimball has soli his interest in
tho road are given tho names Lyons
& McLendon, A. Blue <X Cos., Hiuos
& Hobbs, and others. The price is
said to be $150,000.
G’ol. G. L. Sliiatter, tho Chiof Engi
neer, proposed that the employees who
had seized rolling stock for their debts
should release it aud lot him run the
road and pay them.
Tho employees refused unless paid
or given security that payment w’ould
bo made in thirty days, they to appoint
George i. Cook Superintendent.
There seems to have been great ex
citement,. Every body was grabbing.
Whiskey flowed ireely. Engines and
every thing else available wero levied
1 on and seized indiscriminately.
In connection with Governor Bul
-1 lock’s seizure of the road his proela
-1 mation implicates him in a fraud upon
the State.
110 casts suspicion on the bonds he
has had executed, registered, and by
himself delivered to li. I. Kimball.—
In the case of the endorsed bonds “as
fast as every ten miles is built in a
substantial manner, and the same
in good running working order, which
shall he certified to by an engineer ap
pointed by tlio Governor, tho company
shall present to the Governor the
bonds of said company, which his
Excellency is required to endorse and
deliver to said company.” It there
has been no fraud in the delivery on
the part of the Governor, ho has no
further control over the hands thus
delivered, and they are bona fide the
property of tho company, tho State
having as security for the endorsement
tho road completed and in running or
der, upon which the State has the first
lien. And tho Governor advertising
tho bonds and appointing courts to re
ceive evidence ot validity or applica
tion, of itself is presumptive evidence
that the Governor has practiced a fraud
upon the State by endorsing and de
livering bonds before tho road was
! complete. And by application to tho
proper officers we find that $3,300,000
of the endorsed bonds, hy order of tho
Governor were signed, sealed with tho
great seal of the State, registered and i
delivered to his Excellency ; the last I
as long ago as the 18th day of April; i
while the road is very far from being |
completed to the extent to authorize j
anything like this amount. In addi- j
tion to the above, the Governor has 1
had signed nnd sealed with the great
, seal of tho State and delivered to him
$1,880,000 State bonds for the Bruns-1
! wick and Albany Eailroad Company, j
! being the full amount said road is en- i
j titled to when completed tho entiro !
, length ; making in all, aid by tho State !
to said road, five millions one hux- 1
DEED INI) EIGHTY THOUSAND ($5,180,000)
dollies ! twice the entire indebtedness of
the State at the close of the war. No
wonder the Governor has taken a sud
den flight to New York.
We learn that the Governor has not
used the services of the proper engin
eer, Col. Frobel, tho superintendent of
l’ublic Works, to examine and report
upon the railroad preliminary to the
indorsement of bonds, but that ho ap
pointed an engineer in the employ of
the road, whose connections with the
road should have precluded his selec
tion as the State’s ageut.
It will be observed that at present
there is no evidence of the delivery of
the bonds over the legal amount to
Kimball, only of the preparation and
delivery to Governor Bullock of the
entire amount of road would call for
when completed.
The question arises whether he has
delivered the surplus to Kimball in vi
oltion of law, or whether ho has had
them in hand ? If the latter, what
has lie been doing with them since
April and May ?

Tho Yoikvillo 'linqufitt of the 2Gffi
is ut hand. T his paper is published
in one ot tho counties that has been
victimized by the impel ini ukase ot tho
Grant. Wo condense, Item its col
umns, the following summary of what
is being cloiuyovor there, under Milita
ry Government:
AUKU.iT OE CITIZENS.
As was not expected, the 1 rouident s
proclamation of tho 12th, was follow
ed livo days thereafter by another,
suspending tho privileges of tho writ
of habeas corpus in certain sections in
South Carolina.
On Thursday last, tho military au
thorities at this place commenced mak
ing arrests. Several citizens of tho
town were arrosted while in pursuit of
their avocations, and many persons
from tlio country, while in_ town on
business, wero also dotaiuud und lodg
ed in prison.
About the same hour that tho ar
rests commenced in town,
•run uiLtXA uv uneas to move,
squadrons of cavalry marching out in
various directions, for the purpose of
arresting those in tho country
whom accusations have been made for
violations of ftoe “Kuklux” and “En
forcemeat” acts of Cungrcss. On
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, squads
of soldiers were returning at all hours,
having in their-custody citizens of tho
country, embracing men in all stations,
and occasionally amongst the number
would be found a negro, of which ela-s
five aro now under arrest.
THE TOTAL NVIIBEU NOW IN JATL
at this place is 79, us whom two aie
negroes ; and confined in tho guard
house at tho military camp aro also
three negroes—Thacl Archer and Reu
ben Goins, of the town, and Samuel
Simr 1, of tho county.
It may be proper here to state that
very few arres.s have been made after
night, the larger number having been
made in the day time, and, so far as
wo have been able to learn, no show
of resistance to authority has been
made. As may well bo supposed, the
jail is very much crowded, in conse
quence of which the prison accommo
dations aro being increased, by fitting
the sec nil story of the building for
that purpose. There is no disposition
on tho part of officials in charge to
treat the prisoners with undue harsh
ness, aud we have been requested by
some of the prisoners to say that their
treatment has been as kind aud as
mild as they could expect.
THESE All RESTS
have all been made by the military au
thorities, without formal warrants, and
it is expected that a preliminary exam
ination of each prisoner will bo had
before the United States Commission
er, when, if in the opinion of the Com
missioner, the evidence fails to sustain
tho charge, tho prisoner will bo re
leased. In the examination before the
Commissioner, tho accused will be al
lowed counsel. TRo examination will
be public, aud conducted in tlio man
ner es all legal proceedings before a
Commissioner.
ATTORNEY GENERAL All NEMAN,
and D. T. Corbin, District Attorney of
this State are here, and, wo are in
formed, will remain until the conclu
sion of tho investigation. No time has
yet been fixed for the examination, so
far as we can learn.
Os tho charges of their nature against
any of the accused, we are unable to
give any information. The authori
ties are reticent in regard to their
movements, and wo can only publish
facts as they transpire, deeming cou
joctures and sensational paragraphs—
such as will flood many of the papers
ut a distance—as quite superfluous,
aud in tendency, iiijuriuus.
a gloomy rnosrncT.
The wholesale arrests made hy tho
military in this county have had a
very depressing influence on business
generally, and we presume such will
bo the caso throughout the entire sec
tion of the State embraced in the pro
clamation of the President. Crops re
main in the hells unharvested, and on
account of tho general feelings-of inse
curity, business is nearly at a stand
still, while a large number of persons
have left the country, rather than in
cur the unpleasant aud uncertain con
sequences of airest. The future of
our section, we aro free to confess, is
now more gloomy than it has boon at
any time since tho close of tho war.—
Wo have had
AN IXTERNIEW WITH THE AUTHORITIES,
to learn to what extent arrests might l
ho expected to be made. Colonel Mor
rill, the officer in command, assures us
that no improper arrests wculd be
j made, aud that any person who felt
i himself innocent of violating tho En
| lbrcemeut act or tho Ku-klux act, need
i entertain no fears of being molested iu
I any way by the soldiery or tho Matr
j shal. We trust this declaration hy
I Colonel Merrill will have tho effect to
| measurably restore couiidonco in tho
i minds of many who naturally enough
are apprehensive at the unusual stride
mads hy the chief executive of the na
tion to arrest transgressors of tho law ;
aud that if business cannot resumo its
wonted channels in our midst, that at
least the entiro populace will not be
come terror-stricken and dismayed,
j Lot us hopo for the best
A FALSE KCMOE.
The reported collison between a par
ty of citizens and the United States
soldiers at a place known as Pea-
Ridge near the line dividing York and
Union counties, is entirely unfounded.
No difficulty of any kind has occured
since the military authorities com
menced making arrests.
The Augusta Chronicle says that
the counties of Washington, Burlco,
Jelferson, Hancock, Glasscock, War
ren, Floyd, Chattooga, Columbia, Lin
coln, Elbert. Wilkes, and Whitfield, it
is radically alleged, will bo put under
the martial law.

Tho only hope now is in tho Re
publican party, Around tho orgaui
zatiou all tho friends of pure govern
ment must rally, or wo shall be swamp
ed beneath a tidal wavo of oflieial cor
ruption.—Repahlictiy jpujter.
For examples of tho “puro govern

county, see : 1. A Republican Pres
ident at Washington, who bestows his
cabinet offices in return for personal
favors and gifts bestowed upon him.
2. A Republican administration
which spends one hundred and thir
teen million dollars more for the cur
rent expenses of tho government than
the last Democratic administration.
3. A list of three hundred Repub
lican defaulters, who have pocketed
twenty millions of dollars of tho peo
ple’s money, and have never been
punished by tho administration.
•1. A Republican administration
which compelled tho only member of
tho Cabinet who attempted to purify
his department, to retire from office,
so that tho thieves and corruptionists
could carry on their plunder,
5. A Republican Congress which
puzzled tho Supremo Court until they
Could pass a law by which a Republi
can President could back it.
(3. A Republican Congress, which,
controlled by lobbyists, has given away,
so fur as any revenue to the public is
concerned,but sold, so far as their
pockets are concerned, vast tracts, and
hundred of millions of acres of the
public lands to gigantic corporations.
7. A Republican President who used
the secret service money of the govern
ment to forward a corrupt annexation
theme for toe benefit of speculators in
iSan Domingo and their allies in this
country.
But why multiply ? These speci
mens of the kind of “pure government”
the Republican party gives the country
will do for the present. Ought not
the “friends of puro government” to
rally for a party whoso crowning
achievements are a mercenary Execu
