bo it, therefore.
Resotved , That this Association, having

Free Speech !—A Foretaste of Radical

Western and Atlantic Railroad, i
Office of Superintendent, £
Atlanta, Ga., April 0,1868. 5
To the Officers and Employees of the 1 Vestern
and Atlantic Railroad:
While it is neither desired nor expected by
the Major General Comanding, and the Provi
sional Governor, that the privilege of ex
pressing opinions or preferences relative to
political matters should be denied the officers
and employees ol this road, they nevertheless
require that all connected with the road, in anv
capacity whatever, shall abstain from becoming
active partisans in the present contest foi the
offices of Governor, members of Congress, Are.
X am glad Lo be able to say that this order
is not the result oi anything exceptional in
your conduct, but is simply precautionary in
this time oi political excitement; and 1 take
this occasion to report, what 1 have heretofore
per Dually urged on al! connected with this
road, that while you thiuk for yourselves,
speak your own sentiments, and vote in accord
ance with your own convictions, you rigidly
abstain from all excited and unprofitable dis
cussions in the offices, shops, on the ears, or
elsewhere. Continue to be faithful in the dis
charge of your duties, and quiet, courteous
and geutlemauJy in your intercourse with
others.

Merely a Question. — In these days of
orders from these head quarters we hope it will
not be deemed rebellious or seditious to ask
the great and magnanimous commander of this
part of the great and glorious free Republic of
America a single question, and we ask it with
unbounded belief that the great and magnani
mous commander of this small portion of the
great Republic ol Freedom, including free
speech and a free press, will decide it with that
sacred regard to the rights of all !>:s subjects
which lias characterized ail the orders issued
from these headquarters; and the questio i is
this: Is it inflammatory or endangering the
peace ol society font political party to mar
shal its adherents in military array, with drawn
weapons, marching in .military order, to the
music of the drum and life; if not, will what
is sauce for the goose be. equally palatable to
the gander V

The Oration Last Night.—There was a
very good audience present last night in the
Presbyterian Lecture Room to hear the oration
before the Georgia Medical Association, deliv
ered by Dr. J. G. Thomas, of Savannah. The
orator spoke at length atf^to the point, being
frequently interrupted by the applause of his
hearers.
After the oration the members of the Asso
ciation and a number of invited guests repaired
to the Planters' Hotel to discuss a banquet to
which they had been invited Tty the medical
fraternity and a number of other citizens of
Augusta. We regret that the lateness of the

precludes the possibility of recording many of
the good things said on the occasion.
The Meeting Last Night.— A large aud
enthusiastic gathering of the Democracy look

Washington, April 9.
Senate.— No busiuess was transacted before
the impeachment. The reading of the journal
was dispensed with, and Mr. M. H. Wood, of
Alabama, who had been in the Union army,
testified regarding Mr. Johnson’s refusing him
office because he favored Congress.
Noster Blodgett had both his commissions as
postmaster of Augusta, Ga., with him. Blod
gett cannot learn that the reasons for his sus
pension were sent to the Senate.
The defense opened. Mr. Curtis spoke un
til nearly four o’clock, when, at his request,
the hall being larger than he was accustomed
to. the court adjourned without division.
The Senate went into executive session aud
adjourned.
House. — A resolution having in view the re
conciliation of South American difficulties was
referred to the Judiciary Committee, when the

~W ashington.
Washington, April 9—Noon.
llouse. No Legislation.
Senate. —The court opened. On assembling,
after reading the Journal, Mr. Butler called
other witnesses ; among them, Blodgett, who
testified regarding his removal from the post
mastership at Augusta. He knew nothing
beyond the fact, that he bad been suspended.
Mr. Butler asked for a certificate that no
reasons had been given for Blodgett’s suspen
sion.
The defense made the point that Blodgett’s
case was outside the charges made against the
President.
At a quarter to 1 o’clock, Judge Curtis com
menced his argument.
Washington, April 9—P. M.
Mr. Curtis was listened to throughout with
marked attention, especially by members of
the conrt. Some of his points were startling.
He left it with Senators whether they were act
ing in a legislative or judicial capacity. The
substance of the first, on which the eight
charges were based, was, that the removal of
Stauton and the appointment of Thomas was,
aud was intended to be, in violation of the
tenure of office act and the Constitution. He
denied both propositions, aud among other
authorities quoted statements of members of
the conference committee. Schenek, in making
z report to the House, used the words “ term
of service.” It might as well be said that a
King completed the term of bis predecessor,
who had died, as to say that Mr. Johnson was
serving out Lincoln’s term.
Curtis proceeded, showing that beads ot de
partments were the voice and hands of the
President. He argued that heads of depart
ments did not, in fact, could not constitution
ally come, under (be tenure of office bill, that
their exception was well understood by Sena
tors ; and noticed (lie absurdity of charging the
President with high crime and misdemeanor for
acting in accordance with the publicly express
ed views of Senators. iiis argument that the
President’s action was in accordance with pre
cedents and tlie Constitution is too compact in
its elaboration for condensation.
Curtis, arguing the necessity of the power
claimed by the President, instanced Floyd’s dis
placement by President Buchanan, where delay
would have led to deplorable results. Arguing
on the President’s duty to maintain his pre
rogatives, he said, a trustee would combat an
unconstitutional law which worked injury to
those whose rights lie had in trust, but it Was
much more the President’s duty to guard the
trusts placed in his hands by all the people.
Such, was the duty nobly fulfilled bv Ilamplin,
when he opposed the payment of ship money.
Recapitulating his arguments to prove (hut.
the President could not be impeached for an
act designed to procure a judicial decision, he
quoted Butler, to show that the managers ad
mitted this view, who said the removal in
itself was perhaps notan impeachable ofl'euse,
if made with that motive, and not accompanied
with a defiant message to Hie Senate.
Mr. Curtis said it was a matter of taste how
they should be notified.
Mr. Curtis argued to adjournment that rules
of estopel showing things ihatthe President had
done and said on these matters did not apply
in this ease.
The Congressional Executive Committee de
cline taking steps to induce Holden to with
draw from the N-jilii Caro linn Gubernatorial
race. The alleged cause of inaction is the ab
sence of many members.
Gen. Sherman listened to Curtis’ speech.
It. is said that Dr. Peter Bayne, the negro of
the Vitginia delegation, who visited Grant,
threatened him that he would get no votes iu
Virginia unless he adopted a certain policy.
Grant rung for an orderly, through whom
Bayne was informed that Grant had given him
all the time he luid to spare.
Grant, lias issued no orders regarding the
Ku-Klnxs.

An important decision has been given to
Judge Arrington, of the City Court. The ease
arose on the following tacts in 1862: The State
of Alabama advanced to the Arm Manufactur
ing Cos. §250,000 in State bonds, for the purpose
ot enabling the company to build an arsenal
and to manufacture arms, but as the purpose of
the State, was to arm Confederate soldiets the
contract was to be held null and void. The
suit was brought in the name ot the Governor.

If Queen Victoria lives as long as Iter
grandfather, George 111., her reign will ex
tend into the twentieth century. Though
the Queen has been uearly thirty years on
the throne, she is not yet forty-nine years
of age; and should she prove as long-lived
as were all others of the Hanoverian Brit
ish sovereigns, she will remain on the
throne long after the greater part of this
generation have passed away. George I.
died at sixty-seven, George 11. at seventy
seven, George 111. at eighty-two, George
IV. at sixty-eight, and William IV. at sev
enty-two. ' They are a long-lived race, the
Guelphs, one of them, George 111., dying in
the sixtieth year of his reign, the longest
reign in English history. He was eighty
one years, seven months and sixteen days
old when he departed this life, and the
same number of years, months and ‘days
vouchsafed to Queen Victoria would cause
her death to fail on the 4th of January,
1901. By that time Wales will have sown
the most of his wild oats.
Suicide of Mrs. Charlotte Jordan.—
Suicides seldom happen in our community,
and when they do they arrest universal atten
tion and excite a great deal of comment. A
melancholy death of this character occurred
yesterday, the particulars of which arc as fol
lows :
Oil Monday flight Mrs. Charlotte Jordan, a
widow lady living on the corner of Poplar and
Fifth streets, took a large dose ol morphine
for the avowed and confessed purpose ol put
ting an end to her lite. The act did not be
come known until late at night or early Tues
day morning, when Dr. Passmore was called
in. He found the patient in au almost hopeless
condition, and in spite ot powerful restoratives
promptly administered, she died in a few hours.
