Commercial Convention•
Wc give our readers this morning the report
ol the committee, in tho Southern Commercial
Convention, recently held in Cincinnati, upon
“Ample railroad faculties from the Ohio river to
the Central South.” To Georgia, this is the
most important subject brought before the Con
vention, next to the Southern Pacific Railroad,
to the whole South. It was reported unani
mously by the committee, and adopted by the
Convention. May the roads recommended soon
be In successful operation, opening up new en
ergy end vigor to our whole country f But to
the report: ,
Whereas. The railway facilities lor the
transportation ol the produc's of the North and
and Northwest to the Central South are inadc
(juate to satisfy the demands of a commerce
which is steadily increasing; and,
Whureas, Railroads tend to increase produc
tion and consumption, and the general develop
ment of the resources of the country through
which they may pass, thereby augmenting tho
geneal wealth and adding to the general pros
perity oi the whole country; and,
WriEKEAB, There are no direct railroads run
ning from the Ohio river to the Central South,
through a large portion ol the great States ol
Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and TenneBeee to the harbors of the
Atlantic and Qulfcoaste, including that great
belt of country lying between the 3d and 8ili
meridians west longitude from Washington,
abounding ia agricultural and mineral wealth
as yet almost entirely undeveloped, therefore,
1. lit it Resolved, That this Convention re
commend most earnestly to the favorable con
sideration of the Legislatures ol the different
States, and also county and municipal corpora
tion authorities through which they may pas3
nnd terminate, the following projected lines of
railways from the Ohio river to the central
South, and respectfully ask that liberal legisla
tion be granted and a generous support extended
them by those they will directly benefit as well
as for th® general benefit that will be derived
therefrom by the country at large. The roads
that your committee specially recommend lor
the approval of this Convention are:
1. The Cincinnati Southern Railroad.
2. The Louisville and Chattanooga Grand
Trunk Railroad.
• 3. The Cumberland and Ohio Railroad.
2. Resolved, That this Convention urge upon
the State of Kentucky the necessity of granting
a charter to the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
lrom Cincinnati to Chattanooga, or to any other
point that may bo deemed advisable by the
trustees or corporators, and that the line should
be as direct ns practicable. Respectfully sub
mitted.

Chairman.
Daniel Pittman, of Georgia,
Secretary ol the Committee.
It la Juat S.T.
A cotemporary says, that “ unless the Radi
cals are able to control their Fifteenth Amend
ment fellow-citizens more effectually than they
are doing in some of the Southern States, the
changes in the Constitution will, in the end,
operate against themselves. The ireedmen in
the South have already had enough of carpet
baggers and scallawags. In Selma, Alabama,
Ben. Turner, a genuine African, has beaten his
white fellow-candidate, and received the nomi
nation to Congress. In South Carolina all the
Kadical nominees are said to be negroes, and in
Florida the negroes have also carried the day.
It, therefore, the Radicals elect in the districts
in which these nominations have been made,
the result will be that a number ol seats in the
House ol Representatives will be filled by ig
norant and uneducated negroes, on whom the
Radicals can in no way depend, and who may
at any time become disgusted at the treatment
i hey‘receive from their white coadjutors, and
turn against them. A dozen or two African
Representatives in Congress, would doubtless
have the effect of making a considerable break
m the ranks oi fhe Republican party.”
We apprehend Georgia will also have its
quota ol negro members in Congress, under
Akmnuu’s election biiL

Negro Equality.
We see it slated that the eflort to force negro
equality on the people ol Ohio has been com
mence! at Cumminsville, by the school board
ol that place. The board adopu d resolutions
on the 30th ult., to admit colored children to the
public schools. This action produced quite an
excitement on the 3d ins»., when a number of
negro children made their appearance and de
mauded admittance. Two ot the teachers leit

TkeCom|»iroler on the Wild Ltai* oi:he
State
The Em of yesterday publishes the following
letter add r» wed by the Hon. Madibos Rnr.r.,
the Comp roller General of the State, to the
Sp<ak<r <>i the House of Representatives, on the
“ wild land question,” in which much interest
is now taken, and in which a very large cumber
ol our people are deeply interested.
Comptroller General’s Office, »
Atlanta, Ga , October 7,1870. f
lion. R. L. Me \Vbarter, Speaker of Unite of Rep
resentatives, present.
Sir : In answer to your inquiries I have the
honor to state that in my judgment it is uncon
stitutional for the State of Georgia to take pri
vate property for public use, without adequate
compensation. The law of the State in regard
to unproved land is that, if not dalv returned
for taxation, it shall be doable taxed and sold
under execution lor the tax. I can see no rea
son why wild land should be placed upon a
differi nt tooting. All that the State desires or
can demand, and all that she is entitled to, is the
lawful lax upon the value of the property within
her jurisdiction. The unreturned wild lands
have all once been granted and the title has
folly passed out ol the State, and the State can
not legally deprive the owner of bis property or
title, alter it has once been granted, except by
levy and sale lor taxes under execution.
Under the law as it now exists, the owner can
redeem his land when sold, at any time within
two years, by paying the purchase money and
a certain per cent thereon. I have read the
amendment proposed by you, to the present law
in reference to wild !a:.ds. and am ol the cunn-
ion it ought to pass. If it should pass, alilb
impediments dow in the way of an easy and
practicable execution of the wild land laws, will
be removed. It would be lar preferable in my
judgment to allow the law to remain as it is,
lather than to pass a law reverting these lands
to the Slate. But.Yn the event that yonr amend
ment cannot be passed, I think the Price bill
would be lar prelerable to that which proposes
to revert tbe lands to the State. I am at a loss
to perceive how the State can resume the title
to lands, alter tbe same has lawfully passed from
her. unless she .becomes the purchaser of such
lands after the same have been levied on and
sold at public outcry under existing lavs Tbe
lands are subject to taxes, and in delanlt of tkeir
payment, they may be lawfully sold, like im
proved lands, to raise the taxes, bnt it seems to
me that it would be an act of usurpation on the
part of tbe State to resume the propier-
torship of these lands in the manner pro
posed by tbe act reverting them. It also seems
to me to be a dangerous precedent to set, that
the State may seize upon private property and
forfeit the title thereto, without the consent oi
the owner. If it may be done with reference
to wild lands, it may be done with eqaal pro
priety with n lerencc to any other species of
properly. The bill proposing to revert these
lands, in my judgment amounts to nothing less
than thu confiscation ot riife to private property,

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SEVENTY .SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Tlicii and Now-Officers of the Govern'
ment imrr'rrlnx with the Elections.
In 1841, when Daniel Webster was Secretary
ol State, he nddtesbed the following letter to Mr.
Ewing who was then Secretary ol the Interior:
Department of State, March 20, 1841.—
To the Hon. Thomas Ewino, Secretary of
the Treasuhy: Sir—The President is ol the
opinion that it is a great abuse to bring the pat
ronage ot the Qeneral Government into con
flict with the lreedom ot elections; and this
abuse ought to be corrected wherever it may
have been permitted to exist, and to be pre
vented lor the lature.
flc therefore directs that information be given
to all officers and agents in your Department
of the public service that partizan interference
ia popular elections, whether of State officers
ot this Government, and lor whomsoever, or
against whomsoi v- r it may be exercised, or the
payment ol any contribution or assessment on
salaries, or official compensation lor party or
election purposes, will l>e regarded by him as a
cause ot removal.
It is not intended that any officer shall be re
strained in the tree and proper expression and
maintenance of his opinions respecting public
men or public measures or in the exercise, to
the fullest degree, ot the constitutional rights
ot suffrage. But persons employed under the
government, and paid lor their services oat ot
the public treasury, are not expected to take an
active or officious part in attempts to influence
tbe minds or votes ot others; such conduct be
ing deemed inconsistent with the spirit ol the
Constitution, and the duties ot public agents
acting under it; and the President is resolved,
so far as it depends upon him, that while fhe
elective franchise by the people shall be free
from undue influences of official station and au
thority, opinion shall also be free among the of
ficers and agents of the government.
I hare the honor to be, sir, your obedient ser
vant Daniel Webster.
How is it now ? the greater tho service ren
dered the party in power by officials of the Gov
ernmeut, the greater the reward. ’Tis the test
for holding office now, it was not so, in the bet
ter days ol the Republic.
Tbe State Fair and the Hon. Tho mum
Stocks*
We learn with gaeat pleasure that it is the in
tention ot that old and highly esteemed gentle
man, the Hon. Thomas Stocks, of Greensboro’,
the first President ot the State Agricultural So
ciety, and for ten successive years occupying
that position, to be present at its approaching
Fair to be held in this city. We aro indebted to
the Orceeslioro’ Herald for this piece of interest
ing information, and also tor tbe following reply
in a request made by the Hon. D. W. Lewjg,
the Secretary ot tbe Society, that he wonld per
mit •* a photograph from which to prepare a
drawing to adorn the Library Hall of the Socie
ty,” originally appearing in the Index of this
city. The Herald states that on Tuesday last it
w>)« gratified to meet in town “ tbe venerable
Ct,Titian gentleman,” and that “his general
health is remarkably good for one of his years’*—
eighty five.
Oak Hill, September 20th, 1870.
Dear Brother lewis : I was glad to receive
> ours ot the 6th instant, and thank you sin
cerely lor the compliment. I regret I have not
a good Daguerreotype to send you. I have an
excellent likeness taken by Perkins fifteen years
ago, and if a good artist should come to Greens
boro’ I will send you a photograph taken from
it; or if I am able to be at the Fair, 1 will
bring it up, and have one taken in Atlanta.
My health is good for one of my age—nearly
eighty-five. I shall be glad to be at the Fair,
where 1 shall have the pleasure of taking by
the hand many old friends whom I shall newer
see unless I do attend.
With my kind regards and best wishes (or the
prosperity of the Agricultural Society, I am,
my dear brother.
Yours truly,
Thomas Stocks.

Old as we are, w e had scarcely begun our
“ battle with life,” when the writer ot the fore
going letter had filled many important public
positions in Georgia, and had done his State val
uable service in them all, and when, alter more
than the third of a century of active pablim ser
vice, he retired from political life refusing any
further public trusts or political honors, we find
him active and prominent in promoting charita
ble enterprises, tbe education of the masses, lite
rary institutions, agrieuiture, religion, we feel a
pride in, and so profound an admiration for, the
m&u, that we shall regard bis presence at the
Fair, as one, to Groi laus especially, ot the
most agreeable events that could possibly occur
on the occasion. Doubtless already arrange
ments have been made in some one or Tnore
families to secure to him those hospitalities and
attentions which bis age imperatively demands,
and which there are none in our city who will
not feel honored in bestowing upon him. His
was “ a youth of manhood ” indeed, a ripe Age
of public usefulness, and an old one of chrmtlan
benevolence, such as dwells in the hearts of those
over whom “ faith, hope, and charity” exercise
controlling and absorbing influence. **

nays 67.

98 members answered to their names.
Mr. I’orter, of Chatham, moved to adjourn

the collection of the same.
Hr. Tweedy demanded a call of the roll and
81 members answered to their names.
Mr. Scott remarked that there were at least a
dozen members in the lobby, and he moved that

The Messenger was instructed accordingly.

day.
Mr. .Saultar made the point of order that

ment ot the bill in relation to poll tax, was set
down for final action on Tuesday next.
A motion by Mr. Rawls to reconsider the loss

rights prevailed.
The Speaker informed the House that several
“ special orders ” had been passed over.

olution to rescind a resolution approved March
12,1869.
On motion of Mr. Johnson, of Forsyth, Judge
Clement was invited to a seat on this floor.
Mr. Shumate moved the adoption of the sub
stitute offered by Mr. McWhorter in lieu of the
Land Bill.
Mr. Price said that the substitute of Mr.
McWhorter did uot meet the demands of the
subject— that there are thousands of acres of
land in this State which have not a dollar of tax
tor years, and that his object in spending a great
deal of time in preparation of a bill was to
cure the payment of these taxes—he pointed
ont what he considered defects in the other bills
and showed that his substitute though long met
these objections to the others—that he has en
deavored both to protect the owner and the
State.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, favored the substi
tute offered by the committee, the first section
of which reverts these lands to the State and
this he approved; that there are two objects
which should be sought, to wit: The payment
of these taxes to the State and putting these
lands in the hands ot actual settlers.
Mr. Pbtfiips remarked (hat the State has lost
about $30,08i) by reason of the non-payment of
tax on tuese wild lands. He argued that the re
vision of these lands to the State would not be
unconstitutional.

the committee.
Mr. McWhorter advocated the substitute of
fered by himself an 1 moved to amend one ol th8
sections thereof. This motion did not prevail.
Air. Harper, of Terrell said that all he wanted
was some full to prevent land stealing. He
favored the substitute offered by the committee.
Mr. Shumate opposed the committee’s substi
tute ou the ground that it was virtually a forci
ble taking away from the owners such lands as
the taxes thereon have not been paid; that many
acres of wiki land belong to widows and or
phans and this substitute provides means by
which shrewd parties by paying a few dollars
may get possission of every acre ot land-where
the Dayment ol tax has been omitted by accident
or otherwise.
Mr. Rawles offered an amendment to Mr.
McWhorter’s substitute providing for the sale of
wild land for unpaid - taxes, &c., at the Court
House door ol the county where the land lies.
Be remarked that many persons who own these
lands have lost their papers, and have paid tax
es lor which they never get credit.
Mr. Anderson fovored an indefinite postpone
ment of the whole subject, remarking that from
the inhumation before the House in respect to
wild lauds, it was difficult to determine what
action' would be best, or what class of our peo~
S ie would be benefitted or harmed; that Mr.
IcWhorter’s substitute is nearer like the law as
it stands, and if any of the measures succeed, he
wonld prefer that one.
Mr. Anderson moved to indefinitely postpone
the whole subject.
On this motion Mr. Felder called the previous
question, which call was sustained, and the mo
tion to postpone was lost.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, moved the adoption
ot the committee substitute.
On this motion Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes,
called the previous question, which call was
sustained.

Si VENT Y-THLRD DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Saturday, October 8,1870.
HOUSE.
The House met at the appointed hour, with
Speaker McWhorter in the Chair.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley.
The Journal of yesterday was read.
Mr v Scott moved to reconsider so much ot
yesterday’s proceedings as relates to making the
bills in relation to the Western & Atlantic Rail
road, the special order for Wednesday next.—
Mr. Scott remarked that he desired to have the
said bills set down as the special order for Mon
day.
The motion was put before the House and
lost.
Mr. Shumate moved to reconsider the action
of yesterday in relation to the passage ot the
committee substitute for the “ wild land bill.”
Mr. Watkins hoped that the motion would
prevail.
Joiner, of Dougherty, opposed reconsidera
tion, remarking that if the owners do not pay
taxes on their land, it should go into the hands
ot those who would pay.
Mr. Fitzpatrick remarked that he did not be
lieve tbe hardworking members ot this House
understood the bill that had been passed, and
that he desired this land known as wild laud to
be sold if the taxes are not paid. He favored
reconsideration, and thought tbe substitute by
Mr. McWhorter would meet the necessary de
mands oi the case.
Mr. Anderson in a forcible Bpeech advocated
reconsideration, showing the disadvantages of
the bill passed yesterday, and approving the fea
tures ot Mr. McWhorter’s substitute.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, said that there are
two sides to this question. The substitute by
Mr. Me Whotter does not settle the question, and
leaves the status of the lands in a doubtful situa
tion, besides the feature which is harped on so
much, to-wit, advertising the land lor safe in
the county where it lies, does not benefit the
colored people who, in most cases, cannot read.
Mr. Price rose to speak, when
Harrison, ot Hancock, made the point of or
der that under a recent rule, only two speeches
can be made on a motion to reconsider. This
point was ruled as well taken, and the motion to

FEMALE COMPLAINT
That claims its victims throaghont the length and
breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each monthly pe
riod ; some girls are In great peril at the commencement
of menstratian, while older ones dread its decline at the
tornot life.” Sometime the menstrnal flow ia too
mnch, or too tittle, or may be attended with pain ; may
be irregular or entirely checked, or changed in appeir-
ance, attended with other distressing symptoms. Leu-
corrhce, or tho “Whites,” frequently drains the system,
or ulceration of the womb may create pain and cause
rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly common com
plaint, giving much trouble and distress, which, under
ordinary treatment, is difficult to core.
Hysterics, Green Sickness, Irritability of the Womb,
and other serions and fatal complaints follow the female
sex throughout life. Lives there a medical gentleman
who has or can relieve the lair sex of the above trou
bles? Not many. Is their no combination of remedial
agents that will come to her rescue ? We answer, Yes
ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERS.
The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and Female Reg
ulator known, will cure all those complaints above
mentioned in an incredibly short time. The Bitters at
once arouses, strengthens and restores the womb to its
natural condition, removing obstructions, relieving pain
and regniaUng the monthly period. Yonder s ands a
pale, fcebie and languid girl, just bursting into woman
hood; she is the pride of all, but hark I she silently
steals a pickle, eats chalk, or a slate peucil; no appetite
forVood ; she turns with a dull eye and seeks solitude
her eye no longer sparkles , her meny laugh is no long
er heard ringing through the air ; she mopes about with
bloodless lips and gams, with headache, palpitation,
constipation, swimming ot the head, cold feet and
hands, melancholy; she has a coated tongue, offensive
breath, and a host of other evils too numerous to men
tion.
When neglected all these symptoms become aggrava
ted, there is sick stomach, heartnurn, a dark line settles
nnder the eyes, the legs and ankles are swollen, the hair
loses its gloss aud lalis off, there is brittleness and split
ting of the finger nails, swolen abdomen extreme ner
vousness, fretiulness, pains and aches, dry cough ”—
tencalfits, rapid prostration, epilepsy and death! If
you, or any of your lnends, are thus afflicted, send at
once for a bottle of English Female Bi tiers and be cured.
Its effects are magical m such complaints, bureiy no
mother will postpone and delay,this nuty until
DEATH !S AT THE JD00R.
In all these complaints the system evidently shows a
want of red blood, and Mr. Churchill, in his work on Dis
eases of Females, says: “Bearing in mind that the blood
is remarkably deficient in red corpnscles, and the known
property ot iron to correct this condition, theory sug
gests it as the most to he relied on, the best ot which Ts
the Citrate.” Citrate of Iron enters largely into tho
composition of English Female Bitters, combined with
powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities.
AmoM the mountains of Tennessee and the piney
woods of Mississippi, is lonnd a certain hard and flinty
root, whicn has been in secret nse by some old mid
wives lor many years, possessing magic powers in regu
lating and restoring all females snllerlng with any affec
tion of the womb. This root we have obtained, gave it
a lair test in onr practice and it is now oue of the prin
ciple ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerlnl ute
rine and general tonics also enter into tis composition.
We also add Leptandra or Biurk root, sufficient to act
npon the liver and keep the Dowels open.
BLOOMING Y0DNG GIRLS
Middle-aged matrons, those at the critical period, and
the aged grandmother, are all cured by the use of our
English Female Bitters, now prescribed and need by
physic ans all over the country.
If yon are troubled with Falling of the Womb, atten
ded witn a sense ot weight and bearing down bain in •
the back and side, and other attendant evils, English
Female Bitters will give entire relief.
Those at the “ turn of life,” mothers alter confine
ment, and all others (male or female) who are oonvales
cents from any protracted or debilitating complaint,
who gain strength slowly, and whose digestion is slow
and imperfect, will find these Bitters the very thing
their system demands. It gives a poweiiul appetite,
aids and assists digestion, arouses the liver, strengthens
mentally and physically, and fills the whole system with
pore crimson blood coursing through its channels.
