and lamented sens, by the Bar of Baldwin

The State Road.
One of the most efficient railroad men of the
oath, tbe President and Superintendent of
hues of railway each ol which arc second in
.mportance to none in the South—we allude to
• ol. K. W. Golf., President ol the Nashville &
Chattanooga, and Nashville .V North western
Railways; and Superintendent of the Georgia
railroad—recently addressed a letter to flit*
lion Foster Blodgett, the Superintendent ol the
Slate or Western & Atlantic Railroad, which
r as 'published a few days ago in this
paper, suggestive as to Ihe condition ol the
latter ’road, and that its road bed, bridges, &c.,
; 0 order to insure safely and convenience in Ihe
transportation of the heavy business which it is
uti< ipated will be done by it the coming sea-
..u, needed working and repairs. In reply
the Superintendent of the State Road—CoU
Blodgett—admits the force of Col. Cole’s
- uggestion; states that almost all of the
* : iitire net earnings of the Road have been
expended in payment ol contrasts for material
vjd stock made by his predecessor, and in the
purchase of new iron, rolling stock, motive
power, and equipment for the Road made by him-
i II ; and that now the safety cl the Road de
mands that some forty odd miles of it be supplied
with new iron, which he hopes to procuresoon;
that the Road needs also 250 additional lreight
cars, at least live more first class freight engines,
,ud that all these needs of the Road, in addition
to the repairs which have to he put upon its
I .ridges and road bed, require heavy additional
.mllays of money, a bill to appropriate which,
under the recommendation ol the Joint Com
mittee of the Legislature appointed to investi
gate the affairs of the Road is now, as he learns,
before the Legislature, and which if favorably
noted upon he will “ be able to place the Road
in a condition second to that of no railway in
tbe United States, and consequently in a
i- .million to keep clear of all ‘ freight block
ades ’ during the coming season.”
Such then is the condition of the State Road,
and such are its needs And it is this condi
tion of that great State work, which affords
encouragement to those who have ever urged a
tease or sale of the Road to revive tboao pro
jects.
The question then arises will the Legislature
make the appropriation, or will it sell or lease
the Hoad ? In its present condition, it cannot be
run long, hut at an expense to the State, and at
the hazard of life, as well as ol loss ol
property to be trasported over it. In our judg
ment, ibis necessitates the appropriation on the
part of the Legislature, asked for to place it in
llrBt rate condition, second to no other road in
the United .States we also would say, but at
least in a condition to do safely and promptly
the work which, as a great trunk road, it will
bs called upon to perform the coming and future
business seasons. We have ever been, and still
are, opposed to the State’s surrendering its in-
lerest in, or absolute control over, this great
work. We have seen what it has done in the
past, and leel that it will prove more profitable
to the State In the future. Tt is too an inheri
tance of the present generation, coming to them
irom a past, and should be transmitted to a
future one. Its exceeding great value ia admit
ted on all hands; if it were not, there would
De none to lease, none to purchase it; put it
upon the market and from Maine to California
there would be bidders for it, and there would
he none more eager or would bid higher for it,
than the roads which use it as the great trunk by
which they realize their profits and declare their
dividends." Unco parted" with, and ine millions
that would he realized for if, would soon be
squandered, “lor history repeals itself,” and ’tie
(be history of Georgia that though the coffers
of hor treasury, at intervals, have been lull to
overflowing, depletion oi its contents soon fol
lowed. ITo, let there be no sale, or lease of the
roadi Let the Legislature make the necessur/
appropriations to put it in order l Let it see that
;t is efficiently and faithfully managed, and it
•will soon again become a source ot revenue to
the State, relieving the people of a large share
ol that buthensome taxation, under which they
new suffer, if not relieving them entirely of all
taxation ! To sell it or lease it would be com
mitting as great a folly as the man did who
“killed the goose that, layed the golden eggs."
memorial Tribute to Col. Ansnatns If.
Kenan, deceased, by tbe Bar at Bald
win Superior Court, Au'lld Term, A.
T»., IS70.
Forty-five years ago, with the formidable or
deal of suspended trials,examination before the
people, a Judge’s order, and a solemn oath of
taithtnlnesa and honor, Augustas FTolmes Ken
an, was allowed to enter hit name upon the
Bar-Roll of the Superior Courts of Georgia. To
day, with more so’ernn ceremony, that Bar
meets to record the fact of his deal)i on the first
day of Jane, A. IX, 1370. At the last term he
was here in his strength ; at this time, he cornea
to no call; and “the places which once knew
him, shall know him no more forever.” Sadly
realizing tli.it his appearance in Court is over,
and that hia absence has no promise of return
we meet to make our professional farewell and’
record of his memory. That farewell cannot be
less fervid than its subject, our departed brother.
Let tomb-stones he cold ; but our record shall
breathe tin- warm words ol friendship and fra
ternity.
We make memoir, that Col Kenan’s career
was brilliant, and greatly distinguished from the
beginning to the end. With commanding,
manly presence, and faculties at once shining
and most efficient, he entered the list in full
harness lor the strife of his favorite field, the
forum of criminal Law, the honors and rewards
whereof he almost monopolized in his district
for many years. The accused citizens, whether
guilty or not guilty, all alike, built their hopes
on him as leading counsel and advocate. Such
eminence could not fail to follow the exhibition
of such faculties as were his rich endowment;
the highest order of good sen**; felicitous tact,
inexhaustible expedient; and when he needed
the winning delusions of plausibility, or the
stronger ones of bold assumption, and vehement
overwhelming dogmatism. All the powers oi
the Advocate were his, except humor and ten
derness. Pleasantly humorous in social life;
he was rarely so in Court—and never tenderly
pathetic. Ilis arguments were earnest; his
pathos hot and passionate; all enforced upon
general spectators by a model manliness, and
upon jurors, by the mesmeric eye of the orator.
His eye was one ot his great powers in forensic
conflicts. His use of it seemed not to be artistic,
or scientific; but unconscious, and simply natu
ral. Iu the abandon of social hours, it was
cheerful and bright with the pleasant light of
life ; but in time ot debate ; in the work of con
viction, and persuasion and swaying of other
minds; it was half covered, fixed, intensified,
piercing with a strange ray, the very soul of
Juror or judge, who caught the searching gaze,
under which weak men surrendered and strong
ones felt confused. The magic was not a
charm, not fascination; it was that of power,
intensified brain power. The multitude over the
bar, while admiring the imposing advocate,
knew not the secret, the mystic mesmerism with
which he captured the unsuspecting minds of
simple jurors—but this natural magic ot eye in
times ot earnest work, and his good knowledge
of the ruling passions of men, were oftentimes
with him substitutes for law and testimony.
In a popular government, a man of such force
could not be confined to the Bar. The people
wanted him, and he was ambitious of their ap
plause. He therefore soon entered into political
life—his qualities made him a natural "Leader
oi the people,” and gave him great power in
h;s own district—fluctuating of course with the
ebbB and flows ol popular fickleness; but still
always great. A pure Celt, by blood, name and
nature; of towering stature, and great personal
comliness; a noble human form, of fiery spirit
and versatile gaiety, nature adorned him with a
chieftain’s gifts, and he needed only a lot among
his forefathers in Ireland, at the right period, to
have ranked among the Stars of Hibernian
history. But being only a Georgia Celt living
under constitutional, not spasmodic castellated
governments, In a larger field than his ancestors,
his hereditary national qualities were regulated
and modified by American institutions. Con
forming tbereiore to American forms, Colonel
Kenan early appeared in our Political Assem
blies, ot all sorts; Conventions, Legislatures, and
the Confederate Congress. In the popular meet-
log 8 of his native county, he ruled supreme;
and he was always a recognized man of mark
a power in every constituent assemblv of which
he was a member—whether of the State or ot
the Southern Confederacy. In these he was
both counsellor in the secret chambers ot State
life, and orator in the Halls—and when he spoke
wise men listened.
But we record another strong feature of char
acter—his purely local patriotism, his passionate
attachment to the place of his birth. A man of
some travel and great intelligence, he jetlound
in all the world, no Eden, no Elysium, no
land to long for, but one, and that was Milledge-
ville and its surrounding scenes in the beautiful
valley ol the Oconee. For these his love was tin
leigued, and lifelong, olten saying In his fervor,
that as he walked the streets by day or by
night, “ every stone seemed to salute him as a
friend.”
He started life while emigration to the Western
counties and States was a contagions rage of the
people; but it had no force on him. Delighting

i E transfer the following official announce I people; dui rt naa no force on him. Delighting
ment Irom the Federal Union, of Alillctfgevilie, I birnseU with the natural loveliness of the Oconee
Georgia, for the benefit of the readers ol the ®f e ? es about Alilladgeville in the centre of Bal
dwin county, he lelt no sympathy with the covet
ous or the adventurous Jand hunting emigrant
who could quit such pleasani abode lor a home in
the wild ; and this love for bis native hills and
valleys, it was, that kept him trom plunging into
the land speculations of his day. To his heart,
burning with this home love, riches in lands
had no charm, il the lands were not those of his
childhood's memory; any other lands on earth
but those of Baldwin county, conflicted with an
instinct of his nature; his love for Miiledgeville
and its home scenes. These were the dearest
on earth to him, and to have them ever in his
eye he built his bouse on a chosen hill,that com
mands u w ide. delicious landscape, where his
bearl could revel in beauty aud peace, as he
looked Irom his own door, down upon the val
ley and un to the wooded hills, he loved so
much. Whatever poetry was in his earnest
liery uature, kindled only at this theme; but tor
this, his extacy whs ever ready. Near akin to
this love for Miliedgville, was his love tor Wil
kinson county; its people, its hills, its deep
valleys, its majestic glorious forest ol pine.
We remember pleusautly, these heart-features
ot our departed brolher. They are a key to
much ol bis character and personal history and
torm a pleasing part ol the memorial record we
now make up for his distinguished name.
And now with these and a thousand more
unspoken kind memories, we close his proles
Monal record, in words ot resolution, still with
form, but warm with friendship and truth.

Mr. Scott hoped that the amendment of the
gentleman from Cobb would be adopted ; that
this is an experiment, and by the time proposed
it could be determined^ whether or not this

Air. Rice remarked that there are bonds due
in February next, and that the original section
clearly embraces what is desired, lor any Legis

Air. AndJrson’s amendment was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Scott, “ semi-auijpally ”

ant to adjournment, and was called to order by
President Conley.
Prayer by Rev. Wesley Prettyman.
The Roll was called, and tbe Journal ol the
last day read and approved.
A House resolution, declaratory of a resolu
tion passed, extending the credit of the State to
the Cartersville and Vanwert Railroad, was re
ferred to the Committee on Internal Improve
ments.
The following bills were then read for the
first time: Jill-, xtrewsier ouereu a resoiuuon proviumg

Mr. Cnmnhell—A hill tn adjournment.
To which Air. Bryaat replied that ho did uot
think so.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, asked if there had
not always been a militia law in this State except
when prohibited by recent act of Congress.
Air. Bryant answered that he did not know,
and argned that in case of a conflict between
the races; it would be necessary to have an
organizad military body, and that this bill only
proposes to change the Cod6 so as to make it
conform to the Constitution.
Mr. Duncan argued thatjhere is no necessity
for the bill because the Constitution gives every
man the right to bear arms, and whenever it
conflicts with the Code, the tormer must prevail;
that there is no nse for a militia organization,
and therefore he moved an indefinite postpone
ment of the whole subject.
On the motion to postpone, the yeas and nays
were called with the following result—yeas, 52;
nays, 36. *
Mr. Rice asked for a suspension of the rules
to take up a report of the Educational Com
mittee recommending the appointment of a

thorpe College with a view to exchange the
Governor’s Mansion in’Miiledgeville tor the
‘buildings lately used there by Oglethorpe Col
lege, said buildings, if secured, to be used tor
the education or tl\f colored race. The motion
to suspend the rulgS prevailed, and the resolution
in conformity with the recommendation of the
committee was adopted.
A message trom the Senate was received say
ing, that a resolution authorizing the Governor
to have the public laws and resolutions passed
at this session ot the General Assembly put in
pamphlet lorm, had been passed by that body.
A message irom the Governor was received
saying, that His Excellency had approved and
signed a resolution to provide tor the ; ,yinent
ot accounts for printing executive puielauia
tions.
On motion of Air. Shumate the rules were
suspended and a number ot House and Senate
bills were read tbe second time.
Air. Turnipseed offered a resolution providing
that hereatter this House, with a view to an
early adjournment, bold two sessions each day,
Irom 10 A. AI. to 1 F. AI., and trom 3 P. Al. to
5 P. AL, which resolution was adopted.
Mr. Lane oflered a resolution providing that
this session shall not extend beyond the 1st day
of October, unless by a two-thirds vote ot both
branches of tbe General Assembly, and then not
beyond the 10th day ot October.
Pending a vote on this resolution, it was dis

The selection of the Honorable Linton Ste

party ot Georgia. He is a pure aud upright pa-

brought suit against Prof. Groux and Senator
Sprague for a bill of $90 lor printing various
political essays aud speeches Frol. Groux
■ jaiins that at the request ot tbe Senator, arid

ing compensation, he prepared the documents
upon the currency question, tonnage, Alabama
question, workingmen’s movement, woman’s
rights, tlie Chineso, and various other subjects,
which the Senator then contemplated present

last week, and tbe ease was continued. Air.
Sprague then appeared by attorney. The magis

conscientiously favoi this measure he would do
so, but there ;s a principle involved which pre
cludes any such uciion on hi? part. There is no
precedent, and the only one that comes near it
is that ol the colored men. Which case, how
ever, is not similar to the present one, for the
courts decided that the colored men were Hie—

that they did not serve, tor miles they did not

Mr. Tweedy said that he is astonished at
some of the views expressed by gentlemen on
the other side ot this House; that this money
should be paid whether the amount be small or
large.
Air. Bsthune argued that these gentlemen
were candidates and their oppontnts were inel
ligible, and consequently they were the only
persons receiving legal votes ; these men were
here in 1869 at the trouble and expense of try
ing to get their seats, and it not only is legal,
but equitable that they be paid, and that it is
also a matter of policy that this money should
be paid, so that there should be uo impediment

said resolution did not prevail.
On mot .on of Air. Shumate the House fieci-
tailed the features of the bill claimed, that the
measures thoreof were characterized with justice
and fairness.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, said that he did not
propose to discuss the merits of the Savannah
bill because there is a Senate bill on the same
question which must come and can be amended
or rejected.
Mr. Haroer called the previons question on
the motion to reconsider, saying that be would
reply to a’.l the cant about unfainess when that
question came up, which call was sustained.
On the main question the yeas and nays were

•nays 51.
Air. Porter, colored, moved to take up the
Senate bill on this subject, and mike it the
Bpecial order for Thursday next, which motion
was withdrawn.
Air. Tumlin moved to take up the bill, and a
motion to suspend the roles for that purpose did
not prevail.
Air. Hall, of Meriwether moved to suspend
the rule* to take up 8 report of the Finance
Committee, which motion prevailed; which re
port was a bill reported as a substitute for
the bill to authorize the issue of bonds,
whereby to redeem all bonds and 7 per
cent, currency bonds, carrying a mortgage on
tbe Sta’e U <ad, which l-.t’er bill was sometime
ago, laid on the tanle. Tne substitute proposed
was a bill to issue bonus, whereby to redeem
all bonds due or faffing Jue.
Air. Hall argued that it is nee. res-v to meet
the indebtedness of the State and eiinei gold or
currency bonds must be issued, and that con
sidering the greater rate of interest on currency
bonds, and the probability of their increase of
value np to a gold standard, that the State
would save money by issuing gold bonds.
Mr. Bryant advocated tbe issue ot gold bonds,
and argued their advantage to the State, but op
posed tbe exchanging ol currency into gold
bonds.
Air. Anderson said that be was in favor of
payiDg the indebtedness of the State, but pro
posed to change the words “falling due" into
the words to fall due by January 1st, 1871.
Air. Lane advocated the issue of gold bonds
to be sold, and the proceeds thereof to be used
in buying up currency bonds; why should
Georgia be made to give gold for currency
bonds.

Whorter in the Chair.

Mr. Hal), of Merriwether, moved to reconsid
er so much of the act ion ot this House as relates
to the loss of a biff to protect the credit of the
State, &c. The motion prevailed and the bill
was taken up.
Air. Hall moved its adoption, and called the
previous question. The main question was put
before the House, and the bill as amended on
Saturday was passed.
On motion of Mr. Shumate, the rules were
suspended to take up a Senate bill to legalize
the revision of jury boxes in certain cases. The
bill was read the third time, passed and ordered
to be transmitted to the Senate.
Mr. Tweedy introduced a resolution providing
that whenever the yeas and nayes are called
that the names ot those absent or not voting be
entered on the Journal immediately after the
names of those who have voted. This resolu
tion was adopted.
Air. Tumlin offered a resolution seating Air
Wilcox, of Irwin county, who was elected un
der a proclamation of the Governor.
Air. McDougal moved to amend by adding
tbe name of AL M. Butt, of Marion.
Air. O’Neal made the point ol order that these
gentlemen not having been elected under Gene
ral Meade's order could not be seated, and tfiai
under former rulings the Speaker could not
entertain the resolution.
The Speaker ruled the point well taken, and
the resolution was not entertained.
Air. O’Neal, ot Lowndes, offered a resolution
to seat Air. Tappy, ot Johnson county.
Mr. Shumate offered an amendment adding
the name oi AD. Hunter, o Wilcox, which was
accepted, and the resolution, as amended, was
adopted.
Air. Jrener, of D_ngtcrty, moved to suspend
the rules to have u bill read to establish a free
bridge in his county—which motion did not
prevail.
The special order of the day, to-wit: “ a
militia bUl,” wa6 taken up.
Air. Duncan moved to indefinitely postpone
the question.
Mr. Bryant opposed the motion to postpone,
and argued that a country without a military
organization is at the mercy of a mob.
Air. Anderson asked Mr. Bryant if there had
ever been any use for militia since Oglethorpe
landed, and if it had not generally been regarded
as a farce.
Mr. Bryant replied that he was not conversant
with the history of Georgia militia.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, asked if Air. BryaDt
did not believe the organization of militia would
stir up strife.
