OI K .'HAMBKKOF COHHKHI'K CITY COl’N
(11, AND THF. (IHANdKM.
Wc appealed some days ago to the
members of our Chamber of Com
merce and City Council to give some
expression upon the IfniHjrlance of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, hop
in,'that their action would be em
bodied in a request to our represen
tatives in the National Legislature to
aid its pnssne. We agree with an
exeliange that the Importance of the
road to the whole country cannot be
estimated. The value of a national
railroad communication between the
Pacific and Atlantic, that cun be used
the year round, Is something simply j
immeasurable.
To the South the necessity of this
road Is beyond expression. From all
iwrts of the South un appealing
voice Is going up to Washington for
the General Government to foster the
great enterprise.
The Chamber of Commerce of New
Orleans Issued last March a most elo
quent, memorial to Congress in be
half of the measure, urging that it
will opthi up to the country a com
mercial empire.
Tho Chamber of Commerce of
Memphis in April presented a no less
eloquent memorial to the same end.
The Nashville- Cotton Exchange In
November plead for tho same great
cause. The Louisville Board of Trade
in March appealed to Congress for
tho vast undertaking. The Augusta
Exchange In November issued some
urging resolutions for the “great na
tional highway.” The Richmond
Chamber of Commerce in April urged
the consideration upon Congress that
having munificently aided Northern
and Western works the Government
should now in justice assist the South.
The Atlanta Board of Trade in March
squarely invoked the aid of the Gov
ernment, in this great work.
The St. LouiH Merchants' Es
ehange, the Texas State Grange, the
Kentucky State Grange, nnd .the In-1
dianapolis Board of Trade, uls6 have
spoken out In emphatic appeal for
this colossal railway. Perhaps the
most elaborate and aide presentation
of the subject was made by the St. j
Louis Merchants’ Exchange, whose
masterly and exhaustive memorial
covered the whole stupendous sub
ject.
The States of Texas and Missouri
have, by their Legislatures, passed
strong resolutions endorsing the
great enterprise and urging Congress
to aid it. The solemn and authorita
tive action of these great States is es
pecially impressive.
The telegraph lias brought
us the Intelligence that the South
Carolina Legislature had passed res
olutions of the same character.
We appeal to our own General As
sembly now in session, and to our
Chamber of Commerce and City
Council and the granges everywhere
to take the matter under considera
tion, and help give an impetus to the
grandest railroad scheme of the cen
tury.
• -*- •
And now we have It that the Repub
licans in Congress propose to revive
the Iron-clad test oath, in order to
prevent, fifty-three members of the
next Congress from taking their seats.
This is one of the desperate devices
suggested to prolong the miserable
existence of the Radical party and
prevent a reform, which Is inevitable.
It is the old story about Mrs. Parting
ton over Again. Sydney Smith tolls
us that there whs a storm at Sid
mouth. A great Hood hail set In up
on that, town, the tide rose to an in
credible height, tlio waves rushed in
upon the houses, nnd everything was
threatened with destruction. In the
midst of this sublime and terrible
scene. l)ame Partington, who lived
upon the beach, was seen at the
door of her house mop in hand,
trundling her mop, squeezing
out tlie water and vigorously
pushing back tin- Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic was roused, and so was
the spirit of Mrs. Partington; but tho
contest was unequal and the Atlantic
Ocean .beat Mrs. Partington. ‘She was
excellent at a slop or puddle,' adds
the great reformer, ‘but she should
not have meddled with tho tempest.’
The moral applies to Congress as
well as it did to the British Parlia
ment. Mrs. Partington will be again
beaten Courier-,TnMrnnl.
The Sherman (Texas! Register says:
Tho Dallas Hcntitl publishes a card of
thanks from Hon. H. Haro, presiding
judge, and Sheriff Barkley, to the
large audience in attendance on the
trial of Horbaeh, in that city, for their
quiet and orderly behavior. We sup
pose quiet and order on such occa
sions are so unusual in Dallas that
these officers thought it worthy of tin
expression of thanks.
The following is the lament of the
of a Northern “help." What would
a Georgia negro do under such cir
cumstances ;
We must keep the furnace and range
lireK just at the right heat ; must never
put on too much coal, and must never lot
them burn too low; must have the cakes
and beefsteak ready at the right mo
ment ; must watch for the milkman; must
hunt up the baker, clean t he kitchen, wash
the dislies, attend to the bell; tell the lady
of the house that fourteen book-peddlers,
nine venders of shoe-strings and eleven
persons are soliciting alms for all objects,
from tho erecting ft monument to Wither
spoon to sending box of toys to the Fiji
Islanders.
It is said that u poor-box in Phila
delphia received but four cents during
the year 1874. Charity was doubtless
kept so busy hiding Philadelphia's
multitude of faults that she had no
time to do any thing for the poor.
Ol'R ATLANTA I.KTTBW.
I • ■’. —.
Kpufinl CurroHitoxidi-uce D.IIU I imen.J
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. lb, 187.7.
Tito Legislature has finally done
I something that will please tho peo
ple, and if not the entire people, ccr
| tainly the inhabitants of Mclntosh
[ county, for they seated Mr. Burnell,
; who was the regularly elected mem
ber. He takes tlie place of Tunis Ot.
Campbell,*negro, who had been son-
I fenced to work on a Railroad, but bis
sentence is in abeyance until his case
jis tried by the Supreme Court. All of
I to-day has been consumed in the ar
gument by the House, of the repeal
|of the Homestead law of 1808. The
: measure was ably argued by a ntlm
j her of gentlemen but it was lost, tho
j vote being 8(f for repeal, and 69
against it, it being an amendment to
| the Constitution, required a two
thirds vote. Mr. Grimes, of Mitseo-
I gee, voted for the repeal. While
this law repealed tlie present Hotne
stead law, it allowed the same ex
emption as was in force prior to tlie
adoption of the present Constitution.
In the Senate, tlie resolution to
| call a convention was defeated by a
j large vote. The Senate also refused
|to concur in the House bill to ex
! empt one hundred dollars worth of
j personal property from taxation.
There can be no correct opinion
formed us to what will be tlie fate of
cither of the above mentioned bills,
|us they will move to recon-
I sider, or refer to some com
mittee. There are several impor
tant measures set. down for appointed
i days. There is nothing of imjiortnnce
going ori that is of any local import
| anon to Columbus, except the bill to
appoint Miss Green to the vacancy lu
j the Trusteeship of the Georgia State
! Lottery. Your readers are aware of
the fact that tho vacancy was occa
sioned by the deuth of Mrs. Williams,
of your city. It. seems that Mrs. Wil
j limns willed the grant to her daught
er,and the question uowarises wtietii
i or it was such n grant ns was suscept
ible of being Inherited, and, if not,
then whether the Legislature has the
right to appoint to the vacancy the
act incorporating the lottery not spe
cifying whether that shall not be
j done or not, Miss Green is a noble
woman, and Iter friends base her
claims for the place on her patriotism
and care of Confederate soldiers. The
friends of the other side claim the
Legislature lias no right to interfere
in the matter, but that it is a question
for tlie courts to decide. It is very
probable t hat nothing will be done in
the premises.
I hope I may be pardoned for send
ing the Times tlie tribute paid its ed
itor’s mother, but I do so, knowing
nil in Columbus endorse it. The fol
lowing brief tribute, paid by a learn
ed gentleman, was placed upon the
desks of the members. Speaking of
this claim, he concludes by asking:
If the legal rights involved arc to In- dis
regarded for t tie consideration of personal
merit mid gratitude, to whom should tlie
Representatives of Georgia sooner accord
their support than to the daughter of Col.
Charles J. Williams, who, after following
the Mag of his country tluough the Mi xi
can war to the very hulls of the Mimtezu
nias, laid down lilh noble life ill defense of
his native Slate, resisting tins encroach
ments ot' the ting he once folk iwwl so brave
ly. Of Mrs. Williams, for whose last, will
and testament the respect of a legal adju
dication is asked, it is unnecessary to speak
to Georgians. Generous friend, faithful
wife, Christian mother! in her loving heart
first originated the thought of placing
spring flowers upon the graves of the fall
en heroes of her land. In our annals, no
name so endeared, none so worthy or ns
vered as hers ehamm el vena-able mimi n '
Of her devoted patriotism, of her inflexible
loyalty to tlie principles in defense of
which they perished whom wo honor, was
the Atlanta Memorial and its sister asso
ciations sprung. Constant, unshaken of
soul, not cast down and made ashamed by
the overthrow which betel our arms, but
strongly exulting in the indestructible glo
ries of the post, nnd serenely trustful of
the future, she, first of Southern women,
made annual public tribute to our Confed
erate doiUl, and upon our associations en
joined the active and lasting care of their
heroic memories. “Many daughters have
done virtuously, but thou r.r relb-nt them
all."
Strong in womanly courage, loving in
womanly tenderness, rich in all womanly
graces, abounding in generous deeds of
benevolence, piety and patriotism, her
beautiful life stood crowned at its close
with public honors and private love.
The question of tlie Lien law seems
to puzzle the average legislator.
Most of them are forced to re-enact
the law, us their country constituency
arc writing thorn letters daily of the
pressing demand for the law. It may
be nn unwise law, but the necessities
of the pc ado require it.
Atlanta is crowded with amuse
ments for next week, but, from the
looks of the people, they don't scent
theatre hungry. There arc not near
ns many strangers in tho city over
looking and lobbying with the Legis
lature as formerly. The citizens, and
es[H'eially the ladies, are very regular
in their attendance in the gallery. I
will send you to-morrow Gov. Smith’s
reply to the charges made by Sir. C.
B. Howard and Howard’s rejoinder.

001. J. H. Blount writes to the Ma
con Telegraph :
Thy' Inst effort of Gordon was a
grand one. Senators and Represen
tatives frifm all sections are loml in
its praise. Schurz and Bayard arc
now inaugurating a movement to have
one hundred thousand copies of it
priuteil for circulation in the North
ern States. I must say, I never was
so impressed with grandeur of a mail
in my life.
The Minnesota House of Represen
tatives have passed resolutions com
manding that Hon. William King,
one of the Represetatives of that
State in tho forty-fourth Congress,
shall appear before the Committee of
Investigation at Washington, nnd
state his connection with the Pacific
Mail soandle, and vindicate himself,
or failing therein, place his resigna
tion in the hands of the Governor of
Minnesota.
Thebe are in tho United States 15ti
firms and corporations oqgaged in
the siik manufacture, with an aggre
gate capital of $19,000,006, and with a
force of 10,era operativss. New York
has til of these establishments, Now-
Jersey 30, Connecticut 22, and Mas
saehussetts 12.
ItrglMraUon lltll of Alabama
The-fidlowing* bill bus just passed
tho Aluliwna Senate. There is no
doubt but tlie bill, as it reads, will be
come tho law of Alabama, and wc,
therefore, give It for the benefit of
our Alabama readers:

duct, or ward to which he lias rentov- i
ed, and notify the registrar of the

It is to bo hoped that tlie Georgia
Legislature will pay all her debts, in
eluding the claim of our townsman, I
Yfr. Thwentt, before the claims of the
Sharp Rifle Company's claim is ever
considered. The rifles were furnish
ed in 1801, and the services of our citi
zens and soldiers furnished after
wards.
Thf. Hoc Crop. The aggregate
packing of the hog crop in the West,
to January 29th, is approximately
4.750,000, as compared with a total of
5,-1t!.'.,21X1 during last season.

From the query made to Mr. !
Brown, of Kentucky, by the Speaker
ofthoHousp.it would seem that as
soon as any one begins to describe
an infamous character, they suspect
that lie is referring to Butler.
Ir any Congressman dares to pro
nounce the name of Butler disrespect
fully, oxi>el him on the spot, is the
doctrine of Dawes.
It is far from agreeable to an
nounce, as we are compelled to do,!
that Count Johannes B’Uormatnie,
