ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
Wednesday* February l«, 1870.
Georgia.
The reconstruction o1 Georgia as dictated by
Congress and the Federal authorities will soon
be completed, at least, we cannot resist the con
viction that it will be despite all efforts made to
prevent or to further, for an indefinite period,
postpone it. However distasteful to our people
the plan of reconstruction may be; however
obnoxious many of the provisions of the recon
struction enactment may be to those of them,
who like ourself, see in the reconstruction of
i he Slate a disregard, and a setting aside of
those cardinal principles of Democracy which
recognize State flights and State Sovereignty ;
still will Georgia as Tennessee, Virginia, and
a 1 other of her Southern sister States, have to
submit to the infliction, and do the best she
cm under it. It is madness to resist; it
i§ folly to Indulge in sophomoric dis
plays of damning denunciation, for they
will not r.eet the emergency. When recon
structed, the advancement of the material inter-
e -tr, of our people and of the State should be the
first great consideration. As the Richmond
Enquirer Bays of Virginia, so say we of Geor
gia-the will Deed “emancipation from distress
arid rctoration to some measure of prosperity.”
Wc believe that the great body of the Demo
cratic party ot the Stato entertain these views,
n-jii will co operate to that end. The day has
pa^ed lor mere political excitement. The am
bitious for public honors and for places must re-
stiain fueir ambition. The people are sick of
the political strife of the day, and desire peace.
They recognize in its fulness that they have not
t he |>oveer to prescribe the terms of peace ; that
they must accept those which have been
forced upon them, and bide the future
lor relief from .ill that in those terms are
unjust, iniquitous, or oppressive.
Georgia will soon enter upon another political
era. tSiie will soon become a State—shorn though
she will be of mauy of her aocicnt privileges
and power—in the Union, but still she will be a
State as her Southern sisters will be; and it
takes uo prophet to foretell that united with
them in the national council, she will again, as
in the past, become one ot the most prosperous
• in the Union.exercising political as well as moral
influence in the land, as the “Empire State of
the South."
1 l>o President end Georgia.
The following article is from the Washington
Chronicle of the 8th iDSt:
At noon yesterday a delegation of Georgians
visited the White House, by appointment with
the President, to consult upon the political situ
ation in Georgia.
The delegation was composed of Judges Par
rott, Gibson, and Harrell, of the Superior Court
of Georgia; Hon. Ben Jim in Conley, President
o! the Stale Senate; Hon. Ephraim Tweedy,
President of the Republican Legislative caucus;
Mr. John R Colonel E. F. Blodgett, and
others.
The committee was cordially welcomed, and
the President expressed his gratification at the
progress made toward reconstruction in Geor
gia, cordially indorsed the action of General
Terry and Governor Bullock in the premises,
and said that lie considered the present the only
legally organised Legislature in the Slate since the
rebellion. The President frankly stated that at
one time lie had entertained the opinion that
tho Legislature which assembled on July 4,1868,
was a legally organized body up to the lime the
colored members were expelled, but that fur
ther investigation convinced him that its whole
organization was vitiated by the large number
< (disqualified men who were then admitted.
The President expressed the most perfect
confidence iu General Terry’s judgment and dis
cretion, and eaid that General Sherman fully
coincided in this opinion. Some further con
versation took place, when the delegation
broached the subject ot having the South repre
sented on tho United States Supreme Court
bench, when the President stopped them short
by saying that it was too late, bo had already
made n nomination. It is understood that
ihe delegation were about to present
the name of Judge Erskine, of Georgia.
The President inquired who it was intended
should be elected Senators when the Legislature
reassembled. The delegation replied that no
nomination Lad yet been made, but that Mr.
Blodgett was tbo unanimous choice of the party
lor one of tho vacancies, and the other would
be filled by equally as good a Republican; that
whoveer was regularly nominated by the
Republican caucus would be elected.
The Georgia Republicans are much gratified
Ht the position taken by the President, as being
fully in sympathy with the loyal men.

The ludianola (Texas) Bulletin, alluding to
the fact that Mr. Mooney, who has a grist and
saw miil at Prairie Lea, Intends establishing a
cotton factory, says: “Western Texas gener
ally is well suited to the establishment of cotton
factories. Situated in the heart of the best cot
ton-growing country in the world, the manu
facturing ot cotton goods cannot be otherwise
thau profitable. Besides tho Guadalupe river,
the San Antonio, San Marcos aud fifty other
streams are fine mill streams, and the day is not
isr distaut when Western Texas will be a large
exporter of cotton goods, and not only cotton
goods, but ether {abacs of a textorial nature.”
Tb* CUInese In Texas.
Private advices, an exchange says, has been
received from Texas to the effect that the three
hundred Chinese laborers, now working on the
extension of the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad, near Calvert, are giving great satis
faction. They are industrious, temperate and
docile, and do more work in one day, without
complaint, than can be gotten out of three
mgrcHS under the benign influences of their
newly imposed liberty. With the aid of this
reliable labor, the road is beiug rapidly pushtd
forward toward the point where it will connect
with the road coming down from Kausas. The
succc&iul introduction of these laborers by Gen
J. G. Waiter has attracted the attention of
e ther great railway corporations in the South,
and a movement is on foot to secure through
him, for some of the most important ol the pro
1 ected roads, a sufficient cumber to push them
rapidly forward to speedy completion. The
press of Louisiana and Texas is generally in
lavnr oi the introduction of Chinese labor sor
railway work and the early completion ot a
net work of much-needed railroads is now at
last possible.
George M. Bedford, of Bourbon county, t
Ky., states that the Paris True Kentuckian,a few
days ago submitted his cattle to a lest by which
he obtained the weight of water drank by them.
At half-past eignt o’clock in the morning he
weighed three yearling bulls; then watered
them, ana put them on the scales the second
time. Before drinking, Duke of Goodness
weighed 1 <05 pounds; Cherry Duke, 1675
pounds; and Invincible Duke, 1525 pounds.—
Alter drinking, Duke ot Goodness weighed 1745
pounds; Cherry Duke, 1720 pmuds; and In
vincible Duke, 1670 pounds. With one animal
the increased weight was forty pounds, and with
the other two forty-five pounds each. At tixis
rate of increase it would make a vast difference
in the price of a herd sold by the pound, whether
purchased and weighed in the morning belore
or atter drinking. Water is a cheap commod
ity, but it becomes valuable when disposed of by
U»e pound at the price paid'for cattle.
Currency and Coaxreaa. i
The Imperative need of the country is ac
elastic currency, and this truth is admitted by
i every business man who has sufficient sense to
! keep out ot the fire or bunt a shelter from a
] pelting storm. Congress, however, adopts jost
the opposite policy, and adheres tc it. The rea
son why need not puzzle any one. The history
of New York finances dnriog the past four years
unravels the secret. An exchange says:
If we mistake not, legend tells os ot a certain
conclave ot learned philosophers, who under
took to prescribe laws for restraining what they
deemed the excesses of Nature. After protract
ed discussion, it wss determined to stake out the
limits ot the tides to determine what degree of
beat and cold should be allowed to the different
portions of the earth’s surface, so that instead ot
immense torrid deserts and vast regions of per
petual enow, the earth should be blessed with a
unifoim temperature, and its whole surface
should bud aud blossom; the subterraneous fires
were to be wailed in within prescribed limits, so
that the inhabitants of the volcanic regions
should no longer be exposed to sudden engulph-
ment; the air-currents were to be so regulated
a9 that the mariner should be no more subject to
the vicissitudes of storm, bet be favored with a
constant and equable breeze; floods were to be
obviated by placing the atmospheric laws under
better regulations, and instead ot devastating
rain-storms the whole surface of the earth was
to be refreshed by dews like those of Herman.
Wise philosophers were these, and ever to be
held in grateful remembrance for their efforts to
reconstruct nature iu the interest of suffering hu
manity ; and fortunate is it that even in these
times we have men who, with like wisdom and
nob e instincts, undertake b> reconstruct the
laws which a mistaken, Providence has ordained
(or governing the world of finance. The current
discussions of the Senate upon the legnlatiou
and. increase ot the currency afford a fair, parallel
to the deliberations and conclusions ot this le
gendary conclave. The laws of ff nance render it
certain that no credit circulation, made acu&Uy
and effectively redeemable, can ever be in excess
of the legitimate wants ot business. Grave Sen
ators, however, wholly ignore this l*w, either
ignorant ot its existence or as ignorantly dis
trusting its efficacy, and, instead ot providing tor
tree issues of curreucy, restricted only by due
precautions to insure its redemption, have
undertaken to determine precisely how much
currency is required, not only by the country at
large, but also by each section,"and if we mistake
not by each citizen. We are unable to learn
from tbe deliberations ot these sages, how, amid
the constantly fluctuating requirements ot busi
ness and ot the several sections, and with
tbe ever changing proportion between the
amouuts of the various instruments of exchanges
(including gold, greenbacks, national currency,
iractional currency, private notes, checks and
book accounts,) they have been enabled to ascer
tain the required data ior fixing the precise
amount ot bank circulation with which the
country may be safely intrusted'; but perhaps
this oversight of data may be excused, when it
is considered that the object aimed is so trans
cendent as the reconstruction of tbe natural
laws ol finance, which, of course, implies a wis
dom superior to the calculations of common
minds.
Signature of toe Gross. —The mark which
persons who are unable to write are required to
make instead of their signature, is in the form of
a cross; and this practice having lormerly been
followed by kings and cobles, is constantly re
ferred to as an instance of the deplorable igno
rance of ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably a proof ot such ignorance.
Anciently, the use of this mark was not con
fined to illiterate persona; and it is still always
used by Roman Catholic bishops as part of their
signatuns. Among tbe tiaxons, tbe mark of
the cross, as an attestation of the good laith ol
the person signing, was required to be attached
to the signature of those who could not write.
In those limes, it a man coaid write, or even
read, his knowledge was considered proof pre
sumptive that be was in holy orders The
word clericus or clerk, was synomous with pen
men ; and the laity, or people who were not
clerks did not feel any urgent necessity for the
use ot letters.
The aucitnt use of the cross was, therefore,
universal, alike by those who could and those
who could not write; it was, indeed, the sym
bol of an oath from its holy associations, and
generally the mark. On this account, Mr.
Charles Knight, iu his notes to the “ Pictorial
Sliakspeare, ’ explains the expression of ** God
save the mark, as a forth of ejaculation ap
proaching to the character of an oath. This
phrase occurs three or more times in the plays
of Bhakspeare; but lrtherto it had been left by
the commentators in its original obscurity.

Pat Wilih, the Ageat of the Associated
Press at Aasaata.
The reader will notice in the following from
the Washington Chronicle, a dispatch transmit
ted by the individual whose name heads this
article, in his official character as Agent ot tbe
“ Associated Press ” (New York) to that paper,
which we denounce ior the deliberate misrepre
sentation of this journal which appears upon its
face, and to which we invite the attention of
the Telegraphic Company in whose employ he
is. Our attention having been called to the
dispatch itself, as it appeared in the Washing
ton Chronicle of the 7th instant—a paper with
which we do not exchange—we determined to
give it a thorough ventillation, but this has been
so effectually done by some unknown friend at
Washington in the paper in which the dispatch
originally appeared, and we believe the only
one to which it was telegraphed, that we will
now only briefly comment upon it:
Whatever may bs said of the age or influence
ot the Intelligencer is a matter altogether of
judgment on the part of those who say it. That
it is an old Democratic journal, the oldest in
Atlanta; that it has ever been so and still is;
none but those who would, like Mr. Walsh, ma
lign it, deny. In regard to its influence—that
Which it has exercised in the past, and is still
exercising—we leave the public to judge. But
when that very important individual undertakes
to say of the Intelligencer that “it is not re
cognized by the Democratic party as one of ite
organs, and has very little, if any influence with
that party,” he goes far beyond his duties as an
agent oi the Associated Press; and while saying
that he has “no politics” though connected with
the Chronicle <£ Sentinel of Augusta, he proves
himself to have been influenced by partiz&n
feeling, and utters what is false concerning this
journal.
Neither has the “entire Democratic Press of
Georgia” repudiated tbe Intelligencer nor
has the Democratic Party ol the State refused
to recognize it as one of its organs. But who
authorized Mr. Waisb, this man with “no poli
tics” this mere agent ot the New York Associa
ted Press, to speak for the Democratic Party of
Georgia? “Honesty and truth” he says—we
charge that other influences than these, patent
upon the face ct his telegram and his connec
tion with a partizin paper, have prompted
the outrage he has perpetrated upon this Journal
The “New York Associated Press," lor which
this Mr. Walsh is agent, we feel satisfied, should
Ts attention be called to this gross outrage will
not hesitate to administer unto him a severe re
buke for his conduct. For our own part,again call
ing ihe attention of our readers to the article be
low taken from the Washington Chronicle, we dis
miss him, as we do all such maligners ot the
Intelligencer, to go on with their dirty work
—the work of misrepresentation and detraction,
for which some of them seem to have abundant
ability, as well as inclination :

LETTER FROM A GEORGIA DEMOCRAT.
To the Editor of the Chronicle :
As there is no Democratic newspaper pub
lished in the capital of our common country, I
am compelled to ask from you the courtesy oi
allowing me a space in your journal for a brief
comment upon a series of newspaper dispatches
which I find published in the newspapeis here
this morniDg. The dispatches are as follows
GEORGIA POLITICS.
A STATEMENT AND COUHTNB-BTATEMENT—HTATE BUNA-
TOT'S ON THKIB WAT TO WASHINGTON TO WATCH
OOTSHNOB BCTI.LOCK.
Augusta, Ga, February 6.—The dispatches
sent last night from Atlanta, bad reierence to an
editorial in the Intelligencer.
As that dispatch was sent through the Asso
ciated Press, honesty and truth requires me to
say that the paper in question has been repudi
ated by the entire Democratic press of Geoigia;
that it is neither the oldest or mo9t influential
paper in the State. It is not recoguized by the
Democratic party as one ot its organs, and has
very little, it any, influence with that party.
As an agent of the Associated Press. I have
no politics, and have strenuously avoided giving
offense to either party. It is my duty to have
collected and transmitted tacts, not speculation
or individual political opinions.
The Atlanta agent says the dispatch was a
special, and not ior the Associated Press.
Pat. Walsh,
Agent Associated Press.
The dispatch referred to is as follows:
“Atlanta, Ga., February 5.—The oldest and
most influential Democratic Journal in the State
of Georgia, which has always opposed the re
construction policy of Congress, comes out to
day in a bitter protest against the self-consti
tuted delegation to Washington, beaded by Bry
ant.
“The writer says that this 'delegation/ with
out any authority trom the people, seeks to stir
up striie and keep Georgia out ot the Union; to
have reconstruction done over, and to entail
upon the people the enormous expense of going
through what they have gone through for the
third time io earnest efforts to comply with the
demands ot Congress. He says also that every
interest oi the State demands that reconstruc
tion be considered by Congress as perfected in
Georgia; that tbe men of property, the tax-pay
ers, the labor, the enterprise, and every other
interest of the State demand that a stop be put
to the schemes ot the so-called Bryant Democra
cy ; that the great mass ot the people of the
State received the recent acts as a final settle
ment of the reconstruction issue, and the great
body of the Democrats ot the State do not sus
tain the movement of Bryant and his committee
to overthrow what has been done.”
The Huntsville (.Ala.) Advocate threatens the
railroad ihievts at Montgomery with “a new
party, with bold and able leaders to repudiate
the bond swindling upon the State.” It says:
“Beware, be warned, ere it is too late. The
storm is rising and the whirl wind will be resist
less T’
Augusta, Ga., February 6.—Senators Hull,
Bryant, Caldwell, HoldeD, and other Republi
cans opposed to Governor Bullock, are on their
way to Washington to represent the condition
ot Georgia.
Mr. Bryant says the object of the delegation
is to show to Congress that Governor Bullock
has violated the Reconstruction acts; that the
Eegislature, as now organized, is illegal, and
that seveial persons are allowed sea's in the
Legislature who are not entitled to them, and
that it Congress sustains Bullock the Republican
party of Gt orgia will be destroyed.
The dehgition represents the Conservative
wing ot the Republican pariy in this State, and
repudiate all affil ation with tbe Democratic
party.
As a Democrat, and a Georgia Democrat at
that, 1 desire to say that I believe the dispatch
from Atlanta, dated the 5th, making quotations
from what is alleged to be an influential Demo
cratic journal to the effect that the people of
Georgia have not authorized any “delegation"
to come to this city; that the people of Georgia
are opposed to any farther disruption or disturb
ance of the reconstruction business, and that
the Democratic party, as an organization in that
State, is willing to acquiesce in what has been
done, and submit to the will of tbe Government,
is true
The men of property, the tax payers of the
State, are oppoaed to any iurther meddling or
remodeling of this reconstruction business.—
They prefer to let bad enough alone. And as
a Democrat, I, and those who act with me, are
satisfied that we shall gain nothing by objection
or resistance.
As to the attempt oi Mr. Fat. Walsh, the
Associated Press agent at Augusta, to ignore
the political standing of the Atlanta Intelli
gencer, I have to say, and repeat here what is
well known, that Mr. Walsh is one of the edi
tors of the Augusta Chronicle <t Sentinel, the
Democratic journal which favored the coalition
which Bryant proposed with certain Demo
cratic members of the Legislature; and the In
telligences, as well as other Democratic
journals in tbe State, objected to such accept
ance. Hence it is quite natural for this editor
of the Chronicle dt Sentinel to disagree with the
opinion expressed by tbe Atlanta press agent as
to the political standing of the Intelligencer
In the second dispatch from Augusta of the
6th, it is stated that Mr. Bryant says the object
of his delegation is to show Congress that Gov
ernor Bullock has violated the reconstruction
acts, that the Legislature, as now organized, is
illegal, &c. Now, we Democrats are indisposed
to believe that Governor Bullock has violated
the reconstruction acts. In fact, those acts were
intended, we presume, by Congress, to establish
a republican government in Georgia, and if
Governor Bollock has done this, as we are now
inclined to admit that he has, it is not likely to
be considered a violation of those acts to briog
about the object for which they were enacted.
The only objection which Mr. Bryant can urge
against tbe organization of the Legislature is
the fact that he did not have sufficient support
ers in it to insure his election as Speaker, and he
is therefore naturally dissatisfied with it.
Bat, Mr. Editor, the Democratic masses of
Georgia are tired of running after the personal
fortunes of any man or set of men. We don’t
care a “ bawbee " for tbe foi tunes of Mr. Bryant.
We have got throngh with him. Nor do we
take any especial stock in tbe success of Messrs.
Hill and Miller, who are seeking admission to
the Senate.
While we would be gratified to know that our
men were admitted, still we consider the admis
sion of the State and settlement of this recon
struction business as a subject of far more im
portance to tbe interests and welfare of oar State
and people. And we therefore hope that the
Senatorial gentlemen who have this question to
dispose of will dispose ot it to their own satisfac
tion, and without any regard to the personal
ambition of any man, be he Radical or Demo
crat, scallawag or carpet-bagger.
A Georgia Democrat.
Washington, D. C., February 7,1870.
A Well-merited Compliment.
One ot the correspondents of the Nashville
Union St American, over the signature, “ Se-
wanee,” who participated in the late “Green-
Line Excursion” writing from this city, pays
throngh the columns of that paper the following
well-merited compliment to Mr. B. W. Wbenn,
the General Passenger and Ticket Agent of the
State, or Western & Atlantic Railroad. Refer-
ing to certain complimentary presentations
made at the Scriven House in Savannah by the
Louisville delegation to several railroad offi
cials as a testimonial of tbeir high appreciation
of the civilities and services rendered the “Ex
cursion Party,” the correspondent says:
“A cane was also presented to Mr. B. W.
Wrenn, General Passenger and Ticket Agent
of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. This was
a handsome recognition of the indefatigable ef
forts of one ot the most obliging, clever gentle
men connected with the excursion, to make the
trip as pleasant and agreeable as possible.”
Never was compliment more worthily be
stowed. The receipient of it, Mb. Wrenn, is
one of the most efficient officers of the Road,
never tiring in the discharge of the important
duties to which he is assigned, and by bis energy
and perseverance in them, his courteous de
meanor to all with whom he comes in business
contact, and the promptness with which he
dispatches it, he has well earned the reputation
ot being not only a popular but most efficient
railroad official. We congratulate Mr. Wrenn
most heartily also, npon the fact, that, while his
labors and services were appreciated by the “Ex
cursionists,” they are no less so by all having
business transactions with him, as well as by the
large traveling public that pass over the line ol
Georgia’s great railroad enterprise.

The Jew* in Kn<ala,
We are gratified to notice that the Autocrat
of the Russian Empire has recently greatly ame
liorated the condition of the Jewish people in
his dominions. Some time since, a deputation
of prominent Israelites in this country waited on
the President and requested his good offices in
behalt ot those ot their people living in Russia.
The President, says the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal, “instructed our Minister to Russia to lay
the matter before tbe Eemperor; he did so, and
has Just reported to the Secretary of State, Mr.
Fish, that tbe Jews iu Russia have recently had
many privileges and immunities granted to them
calculated to ameliorate their condition. Among
them grants of land to farmers, ‘subsidies lor
expenses of colonization and exemption from
taxation and military duty for a certain term ‘
They are now allowed to live anywhere in the
Empire, to hold office, to practice medicine, or
enter the army, and in meritorious instances are
admitted to the class ot “notable citizens.”
These rights thus granted cannot but have a
beneficial effect upon tbe welfare ot this peculiar
people, and this action of the Emperor' speaks
volumes for bis liberality and enlightenmeat/'
From Watshlngtoa.
The correspondent ot the Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
The new Justice of the Supreme Court, nomi
nated to-day, does not seem to meet with much
greater favor among the Senators than did the
nomination ot Judge Hoar. It is maintained
Mr. Bradley never held any judicial position;
that he is a lawyer of only fair abilities, which
have been devoted ot late to the patent law;
that he is geographically misplaced—instead ol
being taken trom a Southern Circuit Court, his
residence in New Jersey is only fitty miles from
that of Judge Strong, who is a op. doted at the
same time ior the Pennsylvania Circuit Mr.
Bradley was recommended principally by ex-
Governor Ward, oi. New -Jersey, aad Secretary
Robeson. Jndge Strong has been on the Su
preme bench of Pennsylvania, but resigned a
year or two ago. He was lormerly a Demo
cratic member ot Congress, but of late years has
acted with the Repulicans.
Don Piatt writes to the Commercial:
I saw this decided brunette (Senator Revels)
enter upon the floor ot the Senate, and it was
gratifying to note the alacrity and zeal with
which Massachusetts hastened to avow her prin
ciples and act with consistency. Sumner and
Wilson shook the gentleman warmly, and the
gnarled and knotty Drake strode up to partici
pate in the demonstration. Well, this is all
right, and I must not be supposed to object.—
The law governing in social equality is a law
oi each man’s own enacting. It 1 wish to shake
a colored man’s hand, it is my right to so shake,
and no man can say me nay. If, on the other
hand, I decline shaking, the colored man may
be offended, but he cannot make me shake, nor
can any other man or set of men. so, if Messrs
Sumner, Wilson, Diake and others, find the
new Senator agreeable and companionable, they

exeention, confessed that with John Kennedy,
who alterwards made his escape, he agreed to
mnrder Baker. They found Baker in a field
and Kennedy shot him. They went to Mrs.
Stewart’s house, and Gardiner heard her crying,
and in a few minutes afterwards, Kennedy
came out saying he had ravished and murdered
her. They fired the house and burnt her body
and threw Baker’s body in tbe river. On the
scaffold, Gardiner only said “I am not gnilty,
I don’t know whether I am going to Heaven or
Hell.” A crowd oi colored women gathered
around tbe gal lows and assailed him with cries of
“yon are going to Heil, that’s wnere you are
going.” The drop fell and Gardiner died in
stantly.
Good.—We are informed that a Mr. Dunbar,
of New York, has bought four hundred acres ot
land in this county, adjoining Judge Bankston,
with tbe intention of engaging in cotton plant
ing. It ‘gives us much pleasure to chronicle
such material aud substantial additions to onr
local wealth and prosperity. In spite of the
many reports in Northern journals to the con
trary, Mr. Dunbar will find onr people kind,,
courteous and neighborly. \ye hope many
other Northern gentlemen may be induced to
follow his example. Monroe is tamonsfor good
