Wednesday Moskino, Awn ? 1871.,
A CAItD.
My «onnect>on with the Gwinnett
»* its editor and proprietor,
ceased with its last issue—l having
hold out my entire interest to Col.
Tyler M. Peeples, who will continue
its publication, and fill out all unex
pired contracts for subscription and
advertising.
Penis W. D. Bocllt.
SALUTATORY.
It will he seen,by reference to the
above can), that we have purchased
from the former editor and proprie
tor, Mr. Inruflv, the Gwinnett Atlas,
and the entire outfit of the office,
including the books, debts due the
office, etc. We will continue its
publication, and unexpired contracts
with subscribers and those who are
advertising, will be carried out. Mr.
Ibntlly remains with the office, for
the present, as foreman.
In taking charge of the editorial
department of the paper, we regret i
that we cannot bring to the discharge
of the duties which will devolve upon
us, the aid of experience; yet, we
hope, by energy and attention to
business, to make the Atlas a live
times journal , and a welcome visitor
in the families of our subscribers.
Using identified with you in feeling
and interest, and having mingled
with you both at home and on the
tented field, we think we understand
something of the wants of the people
of this section of the State. We
propose to devote our time and space
mainly to developing the resources
of this section by railroads and other
public enterprises, and to promoting
and encouraging our agricultural,
manufacturing, mechanical and edu
cational interests; thereby relieving
us of that dependence on tlie North
end West which has been a greater
curse to the South than the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
and the Ku Klux Bill—obnoxious as
they are. The vindictive spirit which
prompted these measures was engen
dered by the conflict of arms through
which we have passed, and kept alive,
for a season, for partizan purposes,
hut which will eventually die out;
and these harsh and unconstitutional
measures will become obsolete by the
force of an enlightened public opin
ion. There is a “Southern indepen
denee” which we desire to see, that
may l>e obtained without bloodshed,
hut constitutionally, and “in the
Union;” that is, an independence of
Northern manufacturers and Western
corn cribs.
Politically, the Atlas will be Dem
ocratic, though liberal and conserva
tive We shnll not advocate any
measure simply because it is Demo
cratic, or oppose it simply because it
may have originated with the Repub
lican party, but will try to discuss
trery question fairly, and be governed
by our convictions of right. We are
unalterably opposed to divesting the
States of the sovereignty reserved
when the original compact between
the States was entered into, and are,
therefore, opposed to centralization,
whether it is attempted to he effected
ty constitutional amendments, Con
gressional enactments, or usurpation
on the part of the Executive.
In onr intercourse with the edito
rial fraternity we will be liberal, and
will hit none surpass us in profes
sional courtesy. Differences of opin
ion will naturally exist; but we have
Jong since learned, that men differ
widely in their opinions of public
measures, and iu their convictions of,
■duty, and yet each are equally honest
atnd conscientious.

important Decisions of the
Supreme Court of Georgia.
Below will be. found two impor
tant decisions of the Supreme
Court, clipped from the Atlanta
“ Sun,” !ii which the people of the
Stale feel a deep interest. In the
case of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company, vs. Mayor and
Council of the city of Macon, et
al., it was held, Judge McKay dis
senting, that the Central Railroad
had the legal power and authority
to lease the Macon and Western
Railroad for the term of ninety
nine years. Judge Alexander had,
at the instance of the city of Ma
con and others, granted an injunc
tion, restraining the parties from
making the leave, and this deci
sion was overruled by the Supreme
Court. As to its effect upon the
railroad system of the State, and
the interest of the people, we may’
hereafter lake occasion to com
ment.
In the case of Wallace vs.
Whitehead, the Court, Judge
Warnen dissenting, held that so
much of the Relief Act of 1870,
aa requires, in all cases where the !
debt was created prior to the lir»t
of, June, 1863, that before tbe case
can proceed to trial, if in suit,
and if in judgmeut, before execu
tion can proceed, plaintiff shall
file bis affidavit, that all legal
taxes, chargeable by law upon
said debt have been duly paid,
is constitutional.
This decision will strike from
the dockets of our Courts a large
number of eases—give relief to a
great many debtors, and do in
justice to creditors: it is a part
of that system adopted, after Con
gress struck the relief clauses
from the Constitution, to accom
plish, in a circuitous way, what
could not be done directly. This
statute has certainly the merit of
ingenuity.

Warner, J.
Hold, That the State of Georgia
and the city of Macon, on the
statement of the facts disclosed
by the record, were uot piopcr
if ties to complainant’* bill of
complaint.
Held, also, That the Macon &
Western Railroad Company had
legal power and authority, under
the provisions of its charter, to
lease that road to the Central
Railroad and Banking Company
of Georgia; and that the latter
company had the legal power and
authority, under the provisions of
the act of 1852, to accept said
lease as specified in the contract
set forth in the record.
Held, further, That the Court
below erred in granting the in
junction prayed for iu complai
nant’s bill.
Judgement reversed.

opinion of the Court.

Loch bane, C. J,
Where the Court below die
missed the plaiutitTa action, under
the provisions of the net of 1870,
for failure to file affidavit required,
that the party had paid ail the
legal taxes due and chargeable
thereon.
Held that this provision of the
Act of 1,870 is constitutional, aud !
the Legislature of the State had
the power, under the Constitution,
to pass such laws as were deemed
essential to the public welfare, and ;
Courts have no right to restrain
by construction, the power dele
gated by the people in Conven
tion, to the people's representa
tives.
Held, again, that the duty to
pay legal taxes due and chargea
blt*, i« one ot the highest duties
imposed by the Government upon
citizens, and it is not an impair
ment of the obligation of con
tracts for the State to require the
payment of such tuxes due there
ou, and to prescribe the mode by
which such payment shall be
proved, before her Courts, and
processus shall be used to enforce
, claims upon which taxes may be
chargeable.
Held, again: If the failure to
. pay legal taxes, or making affida
! vit that they have been paid, af
ter six months have been granted
by the Legislature for that pur
pose, works a failure of remedy by
law to enforce contracts; such
failure of remedy is the legitimate
1 result of the failure of the party
to pay his legal taxes, or to com
ply with the laws of the State;
and such failure of remedy so in
voked by the party himself, is not
an impairment of his obligation or
contract.

We take the liberty of publish
ing u private letter to the Editor,

which will be interesting to the
people along the proposed route
of the Macon and Knoxville Rail
road.
It will be remembered that lion.
Jerry Cowles, one of the Directors
of the Road, iu company with Cols.
Sweet and Clute, Civil Engineers
and agents of a large company of
railroad men and capitalists of
Chicago, passed this place two
weeks ago, on their way to Knox
ville, Tenn., to examine the route
and report upon its practicability.
While here they informed us that
they wore much pleased with thc
eurvey made by Col. Du Bois, and
that from Macon to Lawrenceville
they’ found no difficulty. They
were, however, apprehensive of
trouble from this point through
the mountains to the Tennessee
line.
Gumming, Ga., July 24, 1871.
Col. T. M. Peeples,
Lawrenceville , Qa.,
Dear Sir : Mr. Sweet
was favorably impressed with the
route from Lawrenceville to Cum
rafng, and through Forsyth. Capt.
Irish went, with him to Dawson
ville Thursday night, and on Fri
day accompauied the whole party 7
two miles beyond the Amacalola
Gap, which was found to be of
easier access, and, hence, more
practicable for a railroad than had
been expected. The conclusion
seemed to be, that it could be ap
proached and passed with easy
grades, but would require heavy
work. Wc regard Gumming as
safe.
When the whistle blows look
out for the engine.
Many thanks to the citizens of
Lawrenceville for the interest
manifested in our behalf.
Very truly yours, etc.,
Isaac S. Clement.
lion. Jerry Cowles “Inter
viewed.”
Lion. Jerry Cowles has returned to
Macon from his trip along the line of
the Macon and Knoxville Railroad.
We give below an interesting extract
from the editorial columns of the
Telegraph and Messenger. We hare
not space to give the article in full:
We also, on yesterday, had a call
from Col. Jerry Cowles, of this city,
the projector and untiring worker for
the proposed road, who has just re
turned from Knoxville, and was kind
enough to communicate some inter
esting information with i»gard to the
prospects of tho road. While noth
ing definite as to its construction has
been yet settled, still, there are well
grounded reasons for believing tLat
the project is very favorably regarded
by parties with ample means to put
the wl olc line through. These par
ties (Canadians), who have their
headquarters at Chicago, and who j
are now budding the North Pacific |
Railway, have recently sent out two ,
eminent engineers for the purpose of!
surveying the proposed route of the ;
road, and upon their report a decision
will be made. The 12th of August
is the day named for the decision, so
that within two weeks, we shall know
W’hat tho road's prospects for build
ing are, so far, at lettfi, as the Chi
cago capitalists are concerned.
Col. Cowles, who passed over the
route from Covington to the Duck
town Copper Mir es with these engi
neers, says they were, iu the main,
perfectly satisfied with the survey
heretofore made to Lawrenceville,
mid that they wero also most favora
bly impressed with the character and
quanlily of the resources of the coun
try through which the road will pass.
It i» reasonable to believe that their
report will be highly favorable, and
that the actiuu of the Chicago parties
will he correspondingly influenced by
it in the right direction. Col. Cowles
represented the feeling of the people
of the various counties along the
lino of survey as most heartily "favor
able to the road and every assistance,
such as furnishing guides, giving in
formation, etc., was most cordiallv
rendered. As stated in the article
from the Press and Herald, the Duck
Town Copper Mining Company have
offered to subscribe $500,000 towards
the road if run by that point, and
there is little reason to doubt that
this subscription would not be mate
rially increased, as the road would
give them a railway outlet and trans
portation which they now have to
seek at Cleveland, forty miles away.
In the event that the road seeks
Knoxville via that point (Cleveland),
the mining company will transfer to !
the road, free of cost, a broad, wed- j
graded dirt road, which they have, ■
at great expense, dug out of the side
cf the mountain, and over which all
their ore is hauled to Cleveland.
This, of course, would greatly lessen
the construction of the railway be
tween those two points.

Judtic N. 1,. Hutchins.
Wo would call the attention of our
readers to an interesting biographical '
sketch of the late Judge,Hutchins, i
from the pen of onr esteemed corres
pondent, VV., which appears in this !
issue. We can fully endorse all that |
is said by our correspondent. We i
knew him well, for the last ten years !
of his life, were admitted to the bar !
under hi* administration, and prac
ticed in his Courts. He was no or
dinary man ; he had the most won
derful power of analysis and simpli
fying a legal proposition of any law
yer we ever knew. He ranked high
as a lasvyer in the davs when the bar
of the Western circuit was regarded
as the best in the State. What a
brilliant galaxy* of legal talent! There
were Judge Uuderwood, Dougherty,
Hillver, Overby, Howell and T. R.
It. Cobb, John Y\ . 11. Underwood,
Simmons, Hull, PeepDs, and many
others. “ ihere were giants in those
days.” To the younger members of
the profession he was kind and in
dulgent, ever willing to encourage
and assist them. Wo can never for
get his kindness to us at a time when
we needed the help of his long expe
rience, intimate knowledge Of the
law, and mature judgment.
Do you Take the Atlas?
We desire to build up a first
class weekly newspaper, and all
we need to accomplish this is a
liberal support from our friends.
We have engaged in this business
with a determination to succeed,
and hope our subscribers will
take an interest in extending our
circulation. If we are properly
supported, we will spare neither
time nor expense to improve the
Atlas, in all its departments.
We are making arrangements
to secure the services of a corps
of able correspondents from ad
joining counties, and other por
tions of the State, and expect to
make this one of the rno.-.t inter
esting features of the paper. We
solicit from our friends in the
county communications upon all
subjects of public interest.
We intend to add a new feature
of importance to onr fanning
community, who trade largely to
Atlanta. We have, heretofore,
only given the market report of
Lawrenceville, but we shall here
after give reliable quotations from
the Atlanta market ; and hope to
be able to present in our adver
tising columns the cards of relia
ble business houses in that city,
with whom we can recommend
our people to deal.
Ku Klux Co
i Judge A. R. Wright, of Rome, N.
L. Angicr, State Treasurer, and Hon.
J. 11. Christy, of the Athens Watch
man, have testified befo eye Ku Klux
Committee at Washington. We
give below a telegraphic summary of
Col. Christy’s evidence :
He testified, in substance, that he
knew of no Ku Klux organization in
, his district, or any part of the State.
! In answer to a question as to what
! facilitic he had for knowing any
thing about it, he stated that he had
twice been elected to Congress Irom
that district, and usually attended
the Courts of the Western circuit as
well as a portion of those of the
Northern circuit; and, in response to
questions, he said he believed that
ho was personally acquainted with
the people generally. No more
crime was committed now than be
fore the war in his section of the
State. He admitted that there had
boeu some violations of the law by
disguised parties, for the purpose of
punishing persons for living together
in adultery Hnd fornication, theft,
j etc., and stated that it was the gen
eral opinion in (he community that
the people took the law in their own
hands because so many criminals had
| been pardoned.
Another circumstance, which gave
rise to the many exaggerations in
reference to tbe so-called Ku Klux,
was the fact that mischievous young
men, for purposes of amusement,
sometimes wrapped themselves in
sheets and scared the superstitious
negeoes, some of whom affected to
believe they were the ghosts of de
ceased Confederate soldiers. These
negroes had disguised themselves,
and whipped a white man in Clarke
county, and there bad been but little
said about it. Another parly of dis
guised negroes, who had tried to
murder a man in Hancock county,
had been convicted and sentenced,
but subsequently pardoned by the
Governor.
The witness expressed ii*> opinion
that Aif. Richardson had not been
attacked upon political grounds, and
that no negro had been intimidated
from voting the Republican ticket,
but some had been prevented by
threats from voting the Democratic
ticket.
The whole tenor of his testimony
was to the effect that he believed
there was no regular organization in
Georgia for the purpose of violating
the laws.
Ihe examination was long and te
dious, hut the above are the leading
facts elicited.
From tbe Knoxville Press and Herald. |
The Proposed Macon and
Knoxville ltoad.
For several days past our city 7
has been visited by a number of
prominent Southern and Western
railroad men, who arc looking as- i
ter the most feasible route to
build a railroad . from Macon, Ga.,
to this city. Col. Jerry Cowles, of
Georgia, is the projector of the
proposed road, and by bis energy
and untiring zeal he succeeded in
obtaining from the Georgia Leg
islature a charter for the Macon
and Knoxville Road. lie has also
obtained aid from the State of
Georgia to the amount of $15,000
i per mile, as well as secured atldi
! tional aid from Eastern capital
ists, enough to accomplish the
building of the road. Col. Win.
K. Do Graffenreid, the President of
ihe load, made, during the last
’ season, a survey of the route for
117 miles North of Macon, and,
i with some other interested par
ties, passed over the proposed
route of the road to Ducktowu,
i Tenn., thence to the East Tenues-,
see, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road at Athens.
A second proposed route is by
way of Rabun Gap, connecting
witli the Knoxville and Charles
ton Railroad when completed to
that point.
Col. Cowles, Major De Graffen
reid, and C. C. Clute, of a Chicago
firm of railroad builders, have
been in the city several days,
talking over the subject of the
two routes with our citizens, and
yesterday, on invitation of Major
Thos. O’Conner, President of the
Knoxville and Charleston Rail
road, accompanied by 7 a number of
our prominent merchants and busi
ness men, took a trip over the
Knoxville and Charleston Railroad,
ias far as Maryville. Major O’Con
ner had provided a special car for
the occasion, and during the trip
the subject of the proposed road
was earnestly canvassed.
The route by way of Rabun
Gap would bring the main road
into Knoxville over ihe Knoxville
and Charles on line, from that
point, but the uncertainty existing
as to when the Knoxville and
Charleston Road will be completed
to that point, prevents any very
definite conclusion in regard to
that route, from being arrived at.
If the route by way of Duck
town should be determined upon,
the DucktownCopper Mining Com
pany have promised to take a half
million dollars of stock iti the
road, and arrangements would
then have to be made for running
on the track of the Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road.
Besides the above mentioned, there
are still other matters connected with
the building of the road to be con
sidered ; so that it will readily be
seen that while the main part of the
building of the road is assured, the
route by which it will approach
Knoxville is a matter of uncertainty.
On arriving at Maryville, a num
ber of the gentlemen composing the
party walked about the town for a
time, and at 5 o’clock ail again
boarded the cars for the return trip.
Upoh the arrival of the train at
the depot in this city, Mr. P. Dick
enson called Mayor Van Gilder to
the chair, and, after a neat little
speech, proposed the following reso
lutions :
Resolved, That we, representing
the citizeus of Knoxville, hereby ten
der our earnest sympathies to the
gentlemen who have come to the city
with a view of opening a mere direct
and quicker line of communication
between this city and Macon, Ga.;
and,
Resolved, That we will do all in
our power to aid them in their un
dertaking.
Resolved, That the thanks of the
party are hereby tendered to Major
O’Conner, President of the Knoxville
aud Charleston Railroad, for his
courtesy on this occasion, in furnish
ing us with a special ear for the trip.
The above resolutions were unani
mously adopted.
Major De Graffoureid replied, in
behalf of himself and friends, stating
that it was their purpose to more
closely cement the city of Knoxville
with the State of Georgia; that the
vast resources of East Tennessee were
required in the former State; that
the citizens of this section were thriv
ing and enterprising peoplo, and were
seeking further developments, by in
viting capital and labor; and assured
those present that a corps of engi
neers would complete the survey of
the routes aod be in our city by the
first of next October—a stateuieut
which was received with applause by
bis listeners.
After partaking of tbe hospitalities
of Major O’Conner, tbe party then
separated, bighly pleased with their
trip—not only duly impressed with
the importance, but entirely convinced
ot tbe feasibility, of tbe proposed
connection.
Disgustingly Stale . That
phrase “ and still he is not happy,”

tricts. Soon they will drop this

yourself,” and “ how* is that for
high?”- —Middle Georgian.
From the New York World.
Airs. General Gordon.
An incident in the army life of i
Lieut.-Gen. John B. Gordon, of the !
Army of Northern Virginia, is going
the rounds of the press in a some
what misstated form. The correct
rendering is as follows:
The General’s wife followed him
through all the war, remaining as
close to his command as circumstan
ces and non-interfereuce with his
duty would permit. On the day of
the battle of Winchester, Mrs. Gor
don was staying at the house of a
friend in the town. By 10 o’clock
in the morning, the General, seeing
that the day would probably go
against the Confederate forces, sent a
message to her to leave the town at
once; but as shells were then burst
ing in the streets, she was not able
to get her carriage in readiness. All
day long the Confederate forces,
steadily driven back in disorder, kept
passing the town. Mrs. Gordon
viewed the sight with what compos
ure was possible, until she saw troops
belonging to her husband’s corps
pass her house in disorderly retreat.
This was too much for silent observ
ation. The General then commanded
Stonewall Jackson’s old corps, and
his dash and unvarying success, thus
far, had given him the name in the
army of th« “ Second Stonewall,”
and she could not realize that his
men had any right to be retreating.
So. with the enthusiasm of the mo
ment, she ran into the street and
for hours rallied the flying men, and
turned hundreds back to the front.
After a while the retreat of the Gen
eral’s command, which brought up
the rear, became too, almost a rout,
and as he fell back through the town
he rallied his men at every street
corner for a momentary stand, when
suddenly he came into tbe most un
expected sight of his wife, whom he
supposed was by that time at least
twenty miles in the rear. She was
iu the midst of the retreating troops,
where balls were flying and shells
bursting, and at the moment had a
soldier by each hand, whom she was
m the act of turning hack.
JCSF" Mr. C. C. Bowen, the polyg
amist, pardoned by President Grant,
has been recommended to emigrate,
with his numerous wives, to Utah,
where he can lawfully play husband
to them all. The Salt Lake Herald
indignantly expresses the hope that
he will slay away. It does not want
any sneaking fellow like him round
there, passing himself oft' as a single
man on unsuspecting spinsters. The
Mormons, it says, make their mat
rimonial arrangements openly and
above board, and if they are married
already, say so to the new objects of
their affections.— N. Y. Sun.
jT-tT" A gentleman of Connecticut,
who is something of a sportsman,
went to sleep iu church on one of the
late warm Sundays, and dreamed he
was hunting rabbits. During an
eloquont passage in the sermon lie
espied in his dream a rabbit, and star
tled the congregation by shouting
“ there he goes.”
