MONROE ADVOCATE. * JNO. W. ARNOLD, Editor. Thursday, June 15, 1871, 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 News, are much excited over a report brought over by a reliable “contraband” from Beaufort, 8. 0. that a negro baby was bom there a few dayh since, and immediately “opened his mouth atuf spake/* warning the people to prepare for eternity, as the world would be de stroyed within three days. After this remarkable ieat this eminent child died, A further report says that ajetter from hegven was found upon the little nig ger, A PROCLAMATION. Georgia: B J RJJFUS B.
