Col. T. L. Gantt of the Athens

The Death ot the ‘‘Olivo Bill.”
Kow there is no longer any pros
pect that the violent and danger
| ous features of the Olive bill will
fever be brought up again for se
! rious consideration, it may be well
j for the Constitution to make a re
: view of the history of this re in ark
; able measure.
; When it was introduced last I)e
--; ceraber the cry was dilligen. iy seat
| through the state that the dangers
! of a railroad consolidation were ful
ly me! in this measure, and that
encroachments of monopoly would
effectually be checked by it.
01 course it is natural that scliern
ing poll ijians and self-constituted
prophets should have availed
| themselves of this opportunity to
ride into public nolise by making
I adroit use of these arguments, cal
| culated to catch the popular fancy.
The “Olive bill” was heralded ev
erywhere as a safely valve, and de
i signing patriots ted it to everybody
! that would take it. Clubs met and
: indorsed it, and meetings without
I number tructed for it.
But the judgment of the people
'asserted itself, and by the time the
legislature convened, in summer
sessioy, the public had an opporiu
, nify to take the matter into more
I care u! confide alien. And yet the
1 seliemieg p fLoians and design
ing v Lrh..-u were e-.ying from the
house tops that jlist such a meas
ure as this was absolutely impera
tive for the protection of She state.
They did not suggest thjit there
werv any dangerous features in the
bib. nor t’i.;f it. v/cmld be safer to
move < autiously, but they .. . and
ed just such a measure, and they
dll th-.dr utmost to b". > b r

The clubs l.h it approved, and the
meetings that indorsed, ne r

rd urovjYooa that, if rhop.ed, w.u!d
!tab to lire very quick the railroad dr.
velopment of the state. The pc’: i
ciaus and patriots afoiesai ), had de
o; -.reit that the bill was tjbf tifin.T, and
without knowing what Ihyy were real.
Iy doing, many good people, and good
ores, too, found themselves in the pro
c-aaioa calling tor the “Olive bid,” —
a measure proposing outright to cre
ate a way to forfeit tho charters of the
railroads of Georgia, and wcco tlfi
could not be done, to put them into
the hands of receivers.
and hose are the two salient feaunes
of the Olive bill,- and the, strangest
thing to us about, the whole mat er is
that there could bo found men—good
in on and strong men—who were goir,-
to swallow it whole if it bad come f o
them ia that shape. We can readily
see how the people have bean deceived
about the matter, fir the politicians
and the designing patriot baa been
abroad in the laud aou that has been
their mission. They did not care it
every mile of railroad iu Georgia was
wrecked, so long as it aided them in
accomplishing their purposes.
“Forfeit all the charters end put the
railroads iu tho hands of receivers and
give me what I want, 1 will be satis
fic-d,’’ was thoir cry.
Bus it is incomprehensible to us that
thinking men, urea that had tide Dill
before their very eyes ami their fingers
on the very sections that were bought
witlr such danger, should have ever
gained the consent ot their judgment
to ha ye supported such a measure.
The action of the committee in tab
ling both the bill and substitute in or
der to dispose of the matter in a man
ner that will bo neithair dangerous nor
violent, mCst be satisfactory to all
those who really want to hare only
that done which is to the best interest
of the state. Mr. Olive, himself, whore
conduct in the support of his measure,
has been such as to carry with it sin
cerity in his statement that his desire
was to have only that dona which was
best, ongbt*to be satisfied with theeq
uation sad ought to, and no doubt will,
be-ready to support any other proposi
tion that comes within the scope of the
popular demand and the requirement
of the constitution, and. yc which is
neither violent, radioal nor daegarott.
In this connection let us Gate that a
special committee of three from the
senate and ri>o from the house have
been appointed to investigate the le
gal; ty of the. combination alleged to be
under control of the. West Point Tar
mint.!. This j ict committee is made
up of some ot the best lawyers of both
b'&DChcs of the general assembly. Ii
will make a thorough investigation
and pending its report no action will
fVoba ly be taken that can be delayed
with the prospect of deriving valuable
i t ceric* ing the true si
|'. ion, (rocs the result of tb n work cf -}jc
