RAIL BOAD CONTBOVEB^V,
The people of Macon and Atlanta,
and Rail,road men representing' conflicts
liig interests, ate having a lively con
troversy over the lease of th« Macon
and Westerq by the Central and their
different interests. The disputants
and eon use pungent arguments, and
one not accustomed to digesting Rail**
road subjects, will be in the condition
“Piidy was when the, light was blown
out” if he should undertake ,to settle
the dispute.
Col's. Hulbert and -Grant differ in
opinion as to the results to Atlanta
from building .another line of road.—
Both oi ,tljesc; gentlemen are men of ac
knowledged Railroad capacity, both
uee strong and pointed argument to
support their positions. Asa general
proposition the more Railroads, the less
dividend to the stockholders; but it is
also true that Railroads bring wealth
and wealth brings business. While
Atlanta may be injured for a time by
the lease .of .-the Macon and Western
road to the Cential, and by another
new line under control pi the Central,
yet the tact of her being a great cen
tral poiut qf Railroads, with her capital,
energy and enterprising population, she
will in time overcome these obstacles,
retain and build up her trade. She is
blessed with a population eve; ready to
.engage,in any enterprise promotive of
the good of the country or the interests
of its people. a peo
ple zcjjiiPe and watchful fqr the weU
faTeof the city. We trust a full and
free discussion of these subjects and
tire (policies of the .various roads, and
the views of the leading Railroad men
of our State, will serve to bring out
and develope the best plans for the in
terests ot the roads and the people.—
We frost all, ; aij(l governed by a de
sire enterprise and develope
the resources- of the country. While
we know but little of the various in
terests and less about IlailrQaditjg, we
would suggest to the Atlanta people,
to be up and doing; let no chance slip
to bring another .road to the city, eith
er from vigilance, energy or capitol.—
There is a road in contemplation which,
when built, if extended will injure and
eri, pie the tirade of Atlanta.
NEW ORLEANS FLOOD.
The New Orleans flood has beeu very
disastrous to the people in the vicinity
cf the river. We learn that about
V- ./
eighteen hundred bouses have been en
tirely submerged aud about twenty-five
hundred families have been made
houseless. The cause of the ruin and
desolation is charged to the canal com
pany from the fact that they had sold
dirt from the levee-and weakened the
.ljftqks so'that the water could escape.—
The company owns the canal from the
heart of the city to lake P-onobartrain.
The company, if this be true,has caused
much suffering and loss and should do
all in their power to alleviate the mise
ries they have caused by an unthought-
J‘u.l act.
Foster Blodgett's Perjury Case.
We yesterday published the facts,
says tbo Atlanta Constitution, in this
case, justified legal differences of opin
ion. But in our view the facts ate in
sufficient for acquittal. We may be
mistaken, but such is our judgment.—
What are the facts, upon which Blod
gett bases his claim of innocence? They
are these: that on account of his an
tagonism to the secession of Georgia
and the war, his life and property were
threatened with destruction, unless he
entered the army, these threats being
conveyed through anonymous letters;
and for this cause he entered the army,
‘not from any desire to benefit the re
bellion, but solely on account of the
reasonable fears he entertained for his
person, property and family.* This is
his own statement, and this is his des
fenae to tiro charge of perjury. Fear
of injury to life and property produced
by anonymous letters, forced him into
service. He therefore raised a company,
entered the army, and afterward, being
an ambitious man, sought election for
a higher offie—that of Major—but Was
defeated. Yet for the reason mention
ed, Blodgett contends that there was
nothing voluntary in alt this.
J,et us examiue the oath that Blod
gett subscribed: ‘I, do. solemnly
swear that I have never voluntarily
borus arms against the United Status,
that I have vo’untarily given no aid,
countenance, counsel or encouragement
to persons engaged in hostility thereto;
that I hav,e neither sought, nor accept*
*?d, nor attempted to exercise, the func
tion* of an/ whatever, under any
authority or pretended authority in
hostility to the United States.’
-w • ■*-# A • H A
The very reading of tlip oajth seems
to us argument enough for convictioij.
Did threats through anonymous letters
constitute such forqe or compulsion as
to have taken away the free violation of
Blodgett’s action in joining the army,
and seeking office? Was jit such com
pulsion as relieves from the Jangpage
and intent of the iron-clad oath? If
Blodgett had been ‘conscripted,* or
taken by physical violence and forced
to enter the army, his action would not
have been ‘voluntary.’ But th,e .force,
which he claims constrained him, came
of threats through anonymous letters.—
Can the iron-clan be reasonably con
strued to contemplate such compulsion
as adequate to make out an involuntary
act? Was not raising a company a
‘voluntary’ act? Did not Blodgett, in
the very words.of the oath ‘seek and
accept office’ and ‘exercise the functions
of an office?’ Some such view of the
Case seems to have occurred to the pure
mind of this virtuous patriot, for he
says, in his application for the post
mastership of Augusta, that ‘for the
purpose of preventing any insinuations
from parties not conversant with the
circumstances,’ (of course only that) ‘1
would prefer a slight modification’ of
the oath. The same reason, doubtless,
induced him to avoid a trial upon the
merits of his case, and escape on a
techntfcaiity of law. The original oath
subscribed could not be had, but an
exact copy Was before the court, yet
the copy was ruled out, and of course
there was no case before the jury. The
merits of the case were not touched,
yet the immaculate Foster says, in his
pamphlet, in italics, ‘/ was tried by a
jury and acquitted.'
But on the principle of ‘giving the
devil his due,’ let us present the inno
cent and gentle Blodgett in his self>
fashioned garments. The dear soul of
this persecuted patriot unbosomed itself
to the Postmaster General in a ‘free,
frank and open statement of his con
nection with the rebellion.’ In it he
forgets to say, though ‘wishing to con*
ceal nothing,’ that he raised a company,
accepted its captaincy, with laudable
ambiton sought a still higher office, and,
as is said, in the excess of his ‘involun
tarily’ patriotism challenged Sherman’s
celebrated battery as the only foeman
worthy of his ‘involuntary' steel; but
in it he does say that he did enter the
Confederate army, ‘but never was in
any battle or skirmish, and never fired
a gun, or drew a sword, against solder
or citizen of the United States.' Yet
this man who tries to prove that he was
untrue to the cause, and at heart vios
lently opposed to it, deceived his mep
by the appearances of patriotism, this
wronged and persecuted man, who is so
‘frank and open, wishing to conceal
nothing' (oh ghost of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad job); this now guilt
less Radical office-seeker bad the efs
frontery in the bloody'days to ‘seek’for
higher office in the ranks of the cause
he so heartily hated. What a splendid
foreshawowing and promise this of the
after man, who was to sink thousands
of dollars monthly m the management
of a fiduciary trust of the people, Geor
gia's great railroad, and yet in the teeth
of this fact, offer to lease the road from
the people at a monthly rental 0f535,000,
and still leave margin for excellent
profits. * >
Radical Senators of the United States,
you rose to the true dignity of Ameri
can Senators and demonstrated your
respect for your lofty position, when
you sternly refuse to allow this political
demagogue to occupy a post so far above
hiß merits and misrepresent the people
of a noble State. All honor then, even
even to Radical Senators. Thank
heaven there is a sense of right and
justice still in our land. There is an
outrage which even an American, Radi
cal Senate will sternly refuso to per
’petrato upon a people already oppressed
and most cruelly wronged. There is a
limit even to Radical persecution.
Gxtiovcrnor Orr on the Situa
tion.
Ex-Governor Orr, of South Carolina,
has unbosomed himself to a Herald
correspondent. He says: ‘‘With Giant
in the field the contest would be doubt
ful, but with any other Republican as
the standard-bearer of the party the
Democrats would win. But I have no
faith in the Democrat*# They have no
great men uow; they are a lot of con
founded idiots, that don’t know what
they are about. ft is likely as not that
in their nominating convention they
will put a fresh secession plank in their
platform, put up seme old dummy of
bygone days and go borne to be licked
like hell at the polls. They bad a fair
chance last time, and I among others
urged them to take advantage of it. If
Instead of nominating our fine old friend
Seymour---with his drafWiot reputation
and the abamd pl>t#xla,t|ey’ give him
to stand cHi-~-they had put up Chase the
country wp#ld have been carried for
peace and Democracy, I .voted for
Seymour and Blair myself, very unwil
lingly,! confess, especially for Blair—l
went with the crowd. The true poliey
for the Democracy is to nominate for
the Presidency some good and tried
Democrat with a sound war record, not
necessarily a soldier, if the Republicans
put a civilian, buta prominent Geueral
in case Grant is in. the field. Perhaps
it woujd he better in any case to nom
inate a civilian.”.
WUat il»e South Carolina Ne
groes Say of the Carpet Baggers.
The correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Columbia, gives
some startling revelations of the love
and affection subsisting between the
negroes and carpet-baggers of South
Carolina. He says;
“A State Senator, who looked like
a genteel mulatto barber in a city hotel,
in conversation with me the other day
was particularly severe upon the State
officers. ‘'These men,” he said, “are
to blame for all the trouble in the State.
The d—d scoundrels corrupted the
members of the Legislature, who were
innocent before they were instructed in
villainous schemes, and now have the
audacity to talk of the venality ot these
instruments. These State officers used
us as long as they could, and now that
they’ve no more use for us they don’t
care what becomes of us. Talk about
corruption! Why, these fellows when
we put them in office, were so d —d
poor that they bad no seats in their
pants, now they roll in money. What
do they care for the colored man? No
more than for a dog. They will sell us
out to the Democrats whenever they
can make anything by it. You might
rake hell over and sift the cinders,, and
you couldn’t find such mean men. J ’
This convamatiou occured in aTlagis
trate’s office. The Squire, a negro who
held the offices Qf City Magistrate,
Trial Justice, Stale Senator, Land Corns
missioner, and I know not how many
more dignities, concurred in the views
of his brother Senator in the main, but
deprecated the violence of his expres
sions. He thought that the powers
that be ought not to be spoken of in
such a disrespectful manner, but adifiTt
ted that they were much to blame, —
The Governor, he said, was a weak
man who wanted to please everybody,
and would say one thing one day and
another the next. He was never of the
same mind two days in succession. If
he hard been a man of strong will he
could have put down the Ku-klux long
ago, but he was afraid to take any active
measures against them, and was always
trying conciliation, I find the opinion
of nearly all the intelligent negroes with
whom I have talked is strongly against
tho Governor and the few men who with
him have controlled the Republican
party in. the State. They are regarded
as incompetent and selfish, and not true
friends to the colored race. It is not
unusual to hear the negroes threaten to
join the Democratic party unless more
protection is afforded them by the Re
publicans.
Keep Your Business Before the Peo
ple.—We received a letter yesterday
from down the Southwestern Railroad,
IV V, . '
enclosing an order for crockery ware,
and requesting us to turn it over to the
merchant dealing in such goods. The
writer says: ‘‘Some house in Macon
imports largely of China, etc , but they
have taken their advertisements out of
the Telegraph and Messenger, and I do
not remember their address.” Os course
we turned the order-over to Mr. B. A.
Wise, the great Georgia importer of
crockery and China ware.
Notwithstanding the very liberal
manner in which Mr. Wise has adver
tised his mammoth crockery establish
ment in this city, yet it will be seen
from above that just so soon as he ceases
to advertise it, a gentleman, who desired
to trade with him, forgot his address,
and the wonder is the order was not
sent North. No man ever lost a dollar
by keeping his business before the pub
lic—both in dull and aotive seasons of
trade. —Macon Telegraph,

The negro population in the eastern
part of the city, says the Savannah
