Investigation of tlie Route Between Sa
vannah and New York.
For a long time the irregularity of mail
communication between Savannah and New
York, and points intermediate beyond Au
gusta, have been a crying evil. We have
thoroughly investigated tho whole matter,
so far as our relations have afforded oppor
tunity, and have only been able to discover
that the fault 13 not in this office or this
side of Augusta. We can lind no instance
of negligence or misconduct among the
employees of the Savannah office, or any oi
the route agents who report here. In fact,
our inquiries everywhere have resulted to
their credit.
By the exertions of Col, T. P. Robb, our
worthy Postmaster, Special Agent Harrison
Reed, whose district comprises Florida and
Alabama, was a short time since especially
detailed to investigate the irregularities be
tween here and New York. He has just con
cluded his tour, and has paid careful atten
tion to the workings of the mail system on
every important part of the route.
He has made a full report to the Post
Office Department, embracing many import
ant suggestions, several of which will doubt
less be adopted, to the great adyantage of
business men and people generally South.
We have not the data or the disposition
to publish the full results of the trip, hut we
judge that although they exhibit no especial
fraud or deliberate negligence, they will in
crease the activity of some special mail
agents, and the carefulness of several
route agents. Everybody claims full ex
emption from blame, but that some
body, officially employed, is seriously at
fault, is shown by the fact that we some
times get three days’ New York Heralds and
Philadelphia Ages and Washington papers
in one batch, aud that the New York Hotel,
and many subscribers North, get the News
and Herald, when they get it at all, in in
stalments that cover four or live days’ issue,
We at first suspected the fault might be in
this vicinity. We are sure now that it is
not.
We hope Special Agent Reed’s labors will
result in a great improvement.
A OLIMVsE OK TIIE FUTURE.
The Pacitie Railroad, now progressing
rapidly to completion, with some prospect
of being open lor travel in 1870, will be the
great highway of the world. Stretching
with ita eastern connections across the Con
tinent from New York to San Francisco, a
distance of 2,263 miles, it will afford the
shortest and most comfortable route from
England to China. The traveller from Lou
don to Hong Kong will run up by rail to
Liverpool, and take the steamer, which will
land him at New York, 3,150 miles to the
westward, within eleven days of the time he
left home. Theuce across the country he
will fly in the cars in six days to the Golden
Gate, where another steamer will be in wait
ing to carry him the remaining 4,500 miles
in twenty-three days. The whole trip will
occupy only forty days, fifteen less than the
shortest time ever made by the Mediterra
nean or Red Sea route. There will be but
two changes, the whole course will be through
the healthiest aDd pleasantest region in the
world, and the land transit will be a grateful
relief to the monotony of the ocean trip.
These great advantages will eventually se
cure to the Pacific Railroad the whole trade
of Eastern Asia, and make New York and
San Francisco its principal seats.
The New York Tribune is making frantic
appeals to its Radical friends to send in
their names as subscribers for Radical jour
nals, and especially for tire Tribune. It ex
hausts its arguments upon the importance of
the wide circulation of the organs of Radi
calism, and insists that, unless the country
is flooded with them, the next Presidential
election will result in a Radical defeat. It
says that “the Republicans owe their victo
ries of IHBC primarily to Mayor Monroe and
his subordinate Thugs in New Orleans.” Ia
other words, that the disturbances in New
Orleans, gotten up by the Radicals them
selves, furnished the ground-work and foun
dation for the stream of falsehoods with
which the Radical press deceived the people
in regard to the condition of public senti
ment in the South. The idea now is to give
the Radical journals such a circulation as
will place their falsehoods in ev.ery nook and
corner of the land, and delude and humbug
the people as they have done heretofore.
But it will not do. lire people are opening
their eyes and cannot much longer be de
ceived. They are beginning to comprehend
the sophistry with which they have been
misled, and are repudiating thei r false guides.
It is Worthy of note that, in the campaigns
wlrioh have just closed in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, the Democratic party was stigmatized
by its enemies as a party of “rebels” and
“secessionists,” just as the Southern people
have been stigmatized. By their votes, the
people of those States, as our own people
had done, showed the estimation in which
they hold all such malicious but silly accu
sations. The slanders are treated with con
tempt, and the slanderers repudiated.
Catching at Straws.— The Cincinnati En
quirer says: “The ouly reason which the
Radicals give that they will ever recover
their ascendancy again in Ohio is, that they
did so in 18(13, after being beaten in 1862.
Ihey torgel that they were restored then by
the bayonet, by irauduleut army votes, and
by military tyranny. These aids they are
not likely to have next year.”

Loyal Botul-llolilers anil One-Armed
Soldiers.
At the beginning of the late war, when
the able-bodied men were called upon to
abandon their farms and workshops and en
ter the “Union army” to put down the re
bellion, maintain the union of the States,
and the Constitution of the United Sta'es as
it came from the hands of our revolutionary
fathers, a young man in the neighborhood of
Cleveland, Ohio, enlisted inthe Union army-
This young mim had five hundred dollars in
gold coin, which lie placed in ihe hands of a
banker, a native of New England, for safe
keeping until he should return home horn
Ihe war, for which the banker gave a writ
ten obligation reciting that he had received
the sum of live hundred dollars in gold coin,
and obligating himself to return the same
iu gold coin.
The Government called upon the capital
ists lor the loan of money to carry on the
war, but the capitalists refused to lend.
The Government was therefore forced to is
sue legal-tender notes, commonly called
‘‘greenbacks,” to purchase supplies for the
soldiers in the field. Finding that
these notes rapidly depreciated iu
value, notwithstanding they were
made a legal-tender in payment ol
debts, the Government proposed to exchange
six per cent, bonds for greenbacks but the
hankers aud capitalists refused to make the
exchange because the bonds were subject to
taxation, like other property.
The Government then proposed to m
cbana» Hre-twenty bonds, which should be
exempt from taxation, for greenbacks at par.
At this .time one dollar in gold would buy
two dollars and eighty-live cents in green
backs, and the Cleveland banker purchased
fourteen hundred arid twentv-flve dollars in
greenbacks with the young soldier’s live
hundred dollars in gold, which he exchanged
for five-twenty bonds, the interest payable iu
gold, aud the principal in greenbacks, five
years atier date. These bonds the banker
deposited in the Treasury of the United
States, for which he received in exchange
fourteen hundred dollars iu National bank
notes, which he loaned at six per cent, in
terest.
By this financial manceuver he received sev
enty-two dollars aud eighty cents per annum
in gold from the Government,and eighty-four
dollars per annum from his nank customers,
making one hundred and fifty-six dollars aud
eighty ceDts per annum for the use of the
soldier’s five hundred dollars in gold. The
soldier having been honorably discharged
from the army, minus his right arm, be went
to this loyal banker, aud demanded
bis gold, in accordance with the w> ,; Ueu con
tract, but the loyal banker refused lo return
the gold, aud proposed to pay him dollar for
dollar in greenbacks. The young soldier
then brought suit on the written contract
for the payment of the gold but, after the
suit had been pending for one year aud a
half, a loyal court decided that greenbacks
were a legal tender ; so tlie result was, that
after the loyal banker had had the soldier’s
gold for five years, and had received seven
hundred aud eighty four dollars for interest
thereon, the poor soldier was compelled by
the decision of a loyal court to take five hun
dred dollars, in greenbacks, worth only
three hundred and forty seven dollars iu
gold, for his five hundred dollars in gold;
and was, moreover, denounced as a copper
head and a traitor for insisting upou pay
ment in gold.
This decision covered tho case of thou
sands of soldiers, laboring men and pro
ducers in the State of Ohio, who had freely
shed their blood and expended their money
In m.intet* *Td. ~C <Jj. <?JljtitllUtion,
which, among other things, provides that no
laws invalidating contracts shall be passed,
aud when they found that loyal courts were
prepared to disregard this plain provision
of the Constitution, they came to the con
clusion that if greenbacks were good enough
for one armed soldiers they were good
enough for loyal bondholders who purchased
their bonds for thirty-five cents on the dol
lar.
They therefore proposed to pay these
bonds in greenbacks as fast as they full due,
aud to abolish the National Banks, and suh
si itute greenbacks for National bank notes:
For this proposition they were denonced
by the Radicals and loyal bond-holders, as
copperheads and traitors, and the issue was
thus made up. Greenbacks for one-armed
soldiers, laboring men and producers, and
gold for lordly bond-holders, against one
currency for wounded soldiers, producers,
bankers and bond holders —aud the people
of the State decided the question at the bal
lot bqx on the secoud Tuesday of the pre
sent month. S. 11. N-
THE GREAT SWINDLE.
Even taking the laws of Congress as a
guide, the registration in the Southern States
has been a gigantic swindle. Every possible
ditticulty was thrown in the way of white
men, but negroes between the ages of sixteen
and one hundred were everywhere received
with open arms. Two hundred Africans
who came over but recently in the Wan
derer, and cannot speak the English lan
guage, were registered iu Alabama. Ac
cording to the registry in that Stale the col
ored population is now ti n per cent, larger
than it was in 1800, although a number of
the northern tier of counties lost nearly all
their negroes by the war, and by emigration
to Brewulow’s kingdom, and notwithstand
ing that numbers of blacks have lately left
Alabama for ihc Mississippi Valley. The
impudence of asserting that the negro popu
lation of Alabama is larger now than before
the war, has hardly a parallel, even in ti e
hintory of Radicalism. Tbe same swindle
has been perpetrated in all the Southern
States. To suppose that it could last, at,d
form the basis of our future politics, would
be to admit that there was no difference be
tween the plainest right and the most
flagrant and indecent wrong.
Handsomely Done.
Editorial quarrels always look badly to the
public eye, and are not very creditable to
the profession. VVe are gratified, therefore,
to see the following card in the Atlanta In
telligencer of yesterday :
A CARD.

undersigned Hereby apologize fur the pub
lication, and disclaim llie endorsement of
certain selected urlicies and communications
that have appeared in our respective jour

each other. Whatever charges or imputa

made through our editorial columns, are also

Burke's Weekly for Boys and Girls.—
We have received from the publishers, J. W.
Burke & Cos., Second street, Macon, Ga.,
the first quarterly part of this magazine. It
is one oi the most interesting juvenile week
lies published, aud its typographical appear
ance is especially creditable.
Order4U. —The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
“There is some prospect that Pope’s order,
forbidding the publication of advertisements
in Conservative papers, .will be revoked by
tbe President, to that the people of Georgia
aud Alabama can b j tow ihtir patronage
upon papers of their choice.”
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM IN j
VIRGINIA.
Hunnicutt, the leader of the Radical party
in Virginia, was nominated iu Richmond, a
few days since, for the State Convention. He
made the following speech on the occasion
of his nomination, iu which he gives the
platform of his party:
Fello.w-citizens —I stand before you us a
delegate to the most important convention
and legislative body that ever met in this
State. lam gratified with the peace and
harmony that has pervaded this assemblage.
[A good joke—Reporter] and thank you for
the Honor you have conferred upou me. 1
hope—certainly intend—that my course in
the Convention, if elected, shall be like it
has been iu the past—always doing all for
the benefit of the white aud black alike. 1
would rather again subject myself to all the
odium, slanders, and curses which have been
heaped upon me than to become a member
of the Convention. But the Republicans
of Virginia have always looked up to me for
advice and counsel iu days gone by, and 1
will not lorsake them iu this crisis. If 1
refuse to become a candidate the rebels and
Republicans would say I’d gone back upon
my friends. We Republicans are now in
one barque, and it one of us go down, all
must go together, and therefore it behoves
us to stick oy one another.
My friends, you must beware of many
white men who come to you with fair pro
mises. They aie two-faced. After they
had accomplished their vile purposes by
making tools of you they' will lorsake you.
L respect Henry A. Wise because he is not
two-faced. He has the boldness and manli
ness to proclaim his principles and stand by
thorn. I repeat, 1 respect him, but ido not
respect his principles.
It is proper that I should give my plat
foim. and it is the same one I had in 18(*h,
when I first came to Richmond. It is “Un
conditional preservation of the Onion—Re
publican principles—equal rights 1 r white
and black, and free education.” Congres
has given universal suffrage, and’tis belter
than the first idea ol suffrage, which should
allow a vote to each man who owned five
hundred acres of laud and paid tuxes on
$.5(10 of perishable property. If this had
h-ea adopted by Congress, about nine hun
dred and ninety-nine of every thousand ne
groes, and almost the same proportion of
white persons in l his Stale, would have been
cutoff from tlie blessed privilege of voting.
Ibis is not my way of thinking; aud I shall
advocate in the Convention the broad plat
form of “universal manhood suffrage.” Free
education I shall also urge Free schools
and money to start them we must have. The
properly of this city and of the Suite must
be taxed to keep up the schools. Free
schools will help the property-holders.
Northern capital will then come here. If
the rebels don’t like the schools, they needn’t
send their children. If they do send them,
aud they abuse the children of the “Union
men,” they will be whipped ; and if that
doesn’t make them behave themselves, they
will be driven away. Republicans have the
day now ; but I’m in favor oi treating rebels
kindly. I’d not do the least thing that would
cause them to feel one bit worse than they
do now. fCries of “Dry do feel berry bad.”]
Now, my hearers, who should be disfran
chised. [Cries of “Now lie’s coming to it;
dal’s it.”] I ll tell you wlmt class I shall urge
to be disfranchised. First. The leading
rebel editors of Virginia. These meu com
menced and kept up the war—forced hus
bands aud sous into it by the sensation lies
published iu their papers, aud they have kept
Virginia out of the Union to ibis day. They
are (lie Dispatches, Exuminers and Whigs.
[A voice: “The last-named is a Republican
paper.] Yes, u Re-pub-li cun pu-per, und
God save the mark! The Times has gone
under, and I hope other p ipers will soon
follow its example. [A voice: “Hosv about
the Southern Opinion?”] Oh, theSouth-ern
O-piu-ion is so small an affair that I didn’t
think about it/
The next to be disfranchised are the minis
ters. If Dr. Burrows and others would stay
out of tlie theuire and remain iu the pulpit
and closet, and not meddle with politics, we
would let them go. Bat they must behave
themselves. 1 mean that the ministers aud
editors, politically, are bad, not morally. I
would not attack their morals. No gentleman
would do that. lam iu lavor ol allowing a
vote to those poor white men who were forced
into the army at the point of the bayonet, it
they repent; but they must show go id signs
til repentance. Tlw.wiallliy merobuilM WE®,
during the war, ran the blockade, or em
ployed others to do it, should be disfran
chised. They did not fight, it Is true, but
they encouraged and drove others to do it,
and then imposed upon ihe wives and chil
dren of ttiose who louglit. They bought
goods cheap and sold them for five
prices—sold whiskey for ten dollars a drink
that would have maddened demons had
they drank it. Let them, as wed as the
“bomb-proofs" be disfranchised; also, over
seers. All of them were but time-servers,
and hunted down and exposed Union meu.
There are many fanners who were forced to
contribute supplies to the rebel aimy. They
should be allowed to come into the Union,
for they have repented. Many of them have
said so to me. Let them vote next time.
Thirty thousand persons in Virginia ought
to be disfrauchi ed, and will be it they re
ceive justice. [A voice—“ What are you
going to do with rebels that have repeated?’’]
Oh, I’ll vole on ilie first day of ibe Conven
tion 10 enfranchise them. Another voice—
“ How long must Ihey repent :’] In the
words of the prophet, “Oh Lord, how
long?” I say, uulil they repent in sack
cloth and ashes. Will that be long enough?
[Cries of “Yes; dat’s so.”]
THE CODE.
[From the Macon Telegraph.l
They have a queer way ot doing things iu
Atlanta and thereabouts. Some of the papers
of that city contain a correspondence that led
to.the recent duel near Augusta, and we con
fess there is a novelty hi tile whole affair,
ft appears that Mr. Farrow, considering him
self aggrieved by an article iu the Rome
Commercial, called on the proprietor of that
journal, who explained, aud Mr. F. returned
to Atlanta satisfied. S tme days thereafter,
the editor of the Commercial, Mr. M. A. Ne
vin, wrote Mr. Farrow, avowing the author
ship of the language complained of, reit
erating it, demanding that he be con
sidered the aggressor, and expressing his
willingness to respond to any demand for
satisfaction that Mr. F. migut make upon
him. Mr. F. replied, declining to challenge
Mr. N. on the ground that the latter was a
ctipple, having lost a leg. The remarkable
part of it is, lhat at this stage of the quar
rel, Col. O’Connor, the friend of Me. N.
substituted himself for his principal and
challenges Farrow. F. accepted, aud the
parties met at Baud Bar Ferry, uear Au
gusta, exchanged shots, aud then made
friends. It is very clear that Farrow struck
a crowd some r ns of whom he had to tight,
noUns vo/ens.
Mitel,el cm **i>yoi .
W e have noticed the strange fact that what
purported to be Mr. Pryor’s indignaut denial
of radical proclivities has elicited from the
republican press warm expressions of ap
proval. Here is what John Miichel, a con
servative, says of the letter and the writer:
“A ftiand lias sent us a copy of a letter
written by Mr. Roger A. Pryor 10 the Rich
mond Whig, aud asks us to reproduce it.
Wo should do so with pleasure, as it is well
wiitten, like everything else penued by Mr.
Pryor, but we protest that we cannot find
anything in it. Mr. Pryor advises his friends
at the Mouth to ‘accept the situation’ (a tire
some phrase)—well, they do already accept
the situation: they are doing nothing, that
we know of, to reverse the judgment of the
war; what does Mr. Pryor want ?”
About as Mean as They Make ’em. —Not
many yeuts since, in West Plymouth, (N.
H.) it used to be the custom lor the school
master to “board ’round” among the families
ol his pupils, so as to save expense. Some
times, of course, the days didn’t come out
quite even—there would lie eight andont-balf
days at one house and nine at another. One
man, who was notorious for his im anness,
just before the school master began his din
uer, said to him: “Mr. ,” said he, “I
suppose, by rights, that your time is just
about half way through this dinner. That’s
as near as 1 kin make it, and I’ve calculated
pretty close. But 1 don’t wish to be small
about it, and you kin eat just about as much
as you would do for ordinary.”

factory reply. The preparation is l mild and geutln
saline cathartic, alterative aud tonic, and m most
carefully prepared in the form of a snow while pow
