Brunswick and Albany Kail
road.
The Atlanta Era, of yesterday says:
We are glad to learn that the reor
ganization of the Brunswick and Al
bany Railroad is complete, and that
this work of internal improvement
will soon be perfected. Some changes
have been made in tho Board of Di
rectors. Mr. Stephenson, President of
of the Ocean National Bank of New
York, was elected one of the directors,
to fill tho vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Lewis Scofield, Esq., of
this city. Charles L. Prost, Esq., was
elected President of tho road. The
new organization assumes iu full all
liabilities of the road, and will pay all
debts that may have accrued. Fur
thermore, arrangements have been
made by which sufficient funds will be
available for the immediate completion
of the road, not only to Cuthbert, but
also to Eufaula, Alabama.
If the views of tho Telegraph and
Messenger arc correct in regard the
State Aid Bond question, and that
seems to boa fair representation,
Messrs 7 Clews & Cos. will yet suffer at
the hands of Bullock and Kimball.—
The Constitution of the State limits
the powers of the Legislature. What
the Constitution warrants, they may
do, and what it prohibits they may
not do. We copy the following from
that paper on this subject:
Their action against a constitutional
prohibition is a dead letter, and all pro
ceedings under it are null and void.
Now, the Constitution of Georgia
has no other provision authorizing the
Legislature to pledge the faith of the
State for the benefit of private corpo
rations, except one limiting that power.
It is the last half of the fifth para
graph of section sixth, article third,
creating the Legislature and defining
its \>owers. It reads as follows :
The General Assembly shall pass no
law making the State a stockholder in
any corporate company ; nor shall [he
credit of the State be granted or loaned
to any company without a provision
that the whole property of tho compa
ny shall be bound for the security of
the State, prior to any other debt or
lien except to laborers ; nor to any oth
er company in which there is NOT AL
READY'AN EQUAL AMOUNT IN
VESTED BY PRIVATE PERSONS;
nor for any other object than a a ork
of public improvement.
French Emigration to Ucorgia.
A Letts* to a Geoboia Legislator.
—Baris, Oct. 16, 1871.— Dear Sib : I
have just had a conversation with M.
Edmond Farronce, editor of the offuial
journal of the French Government, in
which he assured me that if proper
steps were taken a largo tide of the
French emigration could be turned to
the State of Georgia—The class of
emigrants too are the very kind that
we most need—cultivators of the soil
—men who know how to work aud
who are not afraid of work.
Knowing the importance to our
State of securing such emigration, and
knowing the interest you take iu the
subject, I take tho liberty of suggest
ing that it would bo well for you to
correspond with Monsieur Farrenee
who wili readily give you any infor
mation you may require.
Os course you have been astonished,
as all the rest of the world has been,
at the immense amount of surplus
capital in France whioll recent events
have brought to light. lam informed
by French citizens of high intelligence
that proper invitation and inducements
might secure the use of some of this
capital for business enterprises of any
kind in the State of Georgia.
As Ido not propose to negotiate in
business transactions myself, and as I
desire no appointment either from the j
State or from any of its citizens, you ,
will perceivo that the hints I have'
dropped are entirely disinterested. I
You are at liberty to make such use l
of this letter as you think best.
I am, dear sir, very respectfully and
truly yours,

“HOW TO BEAT till A NT."
Tho Savannah Republican says that
under this caption a correspondence of
tho Nashville Union and American
presents a plan for acoomplishing tho
great desideratum in American poli
tics —the overthrow of a man who is
fast driving the country into a military
despotism. Wo lot the writer speak
for himself, only premising that we
are willing to any honorable expedient
that gives promise of so desirable a
result:
The imniiment prospect of General
Grant’s renonunation for the Presiden
cy forbid any discussion of probabili
ties on that hand. It is foreordained,
and it is doubtful even whether the
formalitv of a nominating convention
will be indulged. The Radical party
belongs to Grant and is tho Grant par
ty of the country. Now, if gentleman
connected with the Republican party
desire to defeat even Grant, there is
but one practicable way of doing it,!
and that is to call in each of the Blates
an an ti Grant Convention and let that
convention nominate an electoral ti-k
--et, composed, say, equally of Demo
crats and anti-Grant Republicans, sel
ecting for the places the purest and
best men in the respective States Lot
tbis ticket be run in each of the States
on its own merits, uncomplicated with
candidacy for the Presidency. l.ct
this college of electors, if elected such,
go on the day prescribed by law and
cast their votes for a President and
Vice President. I verily believe that
such a ticket would prevail over the
Grant ticket in New York, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio, and in enough other
States to insure tho defeat of Grant bo
yond peradventure.
This w 7 as tlie original intention of
the Constitution The convention sys
tem practically did away with it and
made the electors mere cyphers. This
plan recurs to fundamental principles,
und the advantage of taking the whole
field against Grunt
A Democrat.
To Hie Point.
Savannah, Ntv. 18th, 1871.
Editor Morning News :
I read, with great satisfaction, yjur
remarks in the paper ot this
morning on tho tardiness nndseo ning
indifference of the Legislature in re
gard to investigating the frauds alleg
ed to have been committed iu the dif
ferent departments of the State Gov
ernment within the past four years.
It is not remarkable that whilst ev
erybody believes and, in fact, knows
that tho grossost and most stupendous
frauds and abuses have been practiced
by public officers and agents, and whilst
everybody desired and expected that
on the assembling of the Legislature
the most vigorous steps would bo im
mediately taken to investigate and ex
pose these frauds and punish tho per
petrators, yet no decided action has
been taken by that body on the sub
ject, although half the time allotted fur
its session has expired 't How is this
state of things to be accounted for t
It is known that there are ceitain per
sons who from selfish motives, do not
wish these investigations to take place.
But surely they are so numerous and
powerful as to control a Legislature
fresh from an insulted and injured
people.
The truth is, the people should take
this matter in h-ind hoid public
meetings in the several counties and,
by proper action, arouse their Repre
sentatives to a proper sense of their ob
ligations, and require thet they promp
tly discharge them or surrender their
trust. There should he no dallying
about this matter. Tlie people owe it
to themselves to see to it that their
rights are not to be defeated in this
way.
Tho next we shall hear is that the
Leaislitive term is too short to accom
plish so great a task. But the Legis
lature should he told in advance that
no such apology will be received ; that
no excuse whatever will or can justify
the neglect of so important a duty
They can, if necessary, piolong the
session, or adopt the suggestion made
of organizing an outside commission to
make the investigation for them and
submit results. The latter of which
they have had already ample time to
do; but nothing has been done. 1
sincerely hope that you will continue
to speak out, and iu plain lur.guugo on
this subjuet, until members of the
legislature are brought to a sense of
their duty, or the people to a proper
appreciation of their rights There is
nothing at present upon which a pub
lic journalist in Georgia can better be
stow his time and labor than this.
A Citizen.
The carpet-lmggers are trying to
disturb the titles to real estate in New
Orleans in order to grab some of the
most valuable property there. A
large portion of the real estate in
Louisiana is held under grants and ti
tles from the former French and Span
ish Governments. These titles, under
old surveys, have been held as good,
without confirmation by* the United
States ; but under some recent act of
Congress, the provisions of which are
not generally known in Louisiana, it
is claimed that in all cases where the
title has not been confirmed, or where
the surveys cannot be found in the
Laud office, the property is public
land, which must be turned over to
the United States, subject to entry
under the provision* of the home
stead law.
Attitude of Napoleon. —According
1 to the Journal de Paris, Napoleon 111.
considers himself as still the legitimate
sovereign of France; consequently he
refuses to release from their oath of
fidelity the officers who have wiitten
to him to ask whether they ought to
place themselves at tho disposal of the
present government. “Should a ques
tion arise,” 6ays ho, “between order
and anarchy, combat for the former ;
but you remain bound by your oath ;
until the moment that the country
shall have been directly consulted, I
am tho legitimate sovereign.”
