The State Road Lease.
Although thero were grave doubts as
to the practicability of leasing this great
State property, at the time the bill was
passed, we now fiud very few people
who are disposed to grumble at the
transaction—especially sinco it has
transpired that Judge Joseph E. Brown
heads the leasing company. This is not
at all surprising when it is remembered
that the road was worth more to the
State under Gov. Brown’s administra
tion than any other} and wo confess
that our own feelings arc now in accord
with the general sentiment.
The road had been fought over, and
run as a political machine long enough,
and it is certainly a relief to know that
it is now to bo run outside of politics;
and it is gratifying to know that the
able company into whose hands the
road now goes, will, doubtless, by their
energy and managing ability, give a
name and character to the line, which
will greatly increase its pecuniary value
to the State, by the expiration of the
lease.
We would advise a careful perusal of
the very able letter of lion. A. 11.
Stcpheus on this subject, which will be
found in another column of this paper.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist*
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
and the Lease of the State
Road. i
We are permitted to publish the fol
lowing extract of a letter from Mr.
Stephens on the subject of the State
Road lease. The letter from which we
quote was addressed to a gentleman in
this city:
* * * *
The history of my connection with
the lease is this: After the advertise
ment of the letting of the road, in pur
suance of the Act of the Legislature;
and after I had seen in the papers that
ex Gov. Brown intended to organize a
company to put in a bid for it, I wrote
to him. stating that if what 1 had seen
was true, I should like to be one of bis
iompany, and to take an interest in it
to the extent of my property, which,
over and above all liabilities. I. thought
was ten thousand dollars. He replied
that he had been engaged in organizing
or forming a company with a view of
making a bid for the lease; that he did
not know whether the parties with
whom lie was conferring would be wi!
ling to extend the list or not; that in
dividually he was perfectly willing to
do so, and would present my request
when the company met. I wrote back
to him giving him full power to act for
me in the premises, as he might think
proper, but told him it was a matter
that I did not feel sufficient interest in
for any urging to be used in my behalf,
and that if there w r as a single member
of his company who showed or indicated
the slightest objection to my taking an
interest in it, my name should not be
presented by him. I knew nothing of
the parties with whom he was confer
ring—not one of them; nor did I c ure
to know 7 any more than I should who
are the stockholders in the Georgia
Railroad Company if I were going to
invest anything in it, or any other Rail
road company. I believed he would be
the controlling man in the affairs of any
company that might be formed under
his auspices. I thought, under his
control, the road might be made to pay
the minimum amount fixed by the
Legislature and even more, as well as to
pay the lessees something for their risk
and trouble. I so wrote to him. In
reply, he said that he did not think any
company could afford safely to under
take to pay more than the amount set
by the Legislature and leave any margin
for profits to the company, in considera
tion of their trouble and liability, look
ing to the risks of food and fire, and
the now roads which would soon take
off a large portion of the freights which
otherwise would pass through this chan
nel. lie said he would not put in a
bid fur more than the $25,000 per
month, set forth in the act of the Legis
lature. This is the substance o's our
correspondence. Subsequently, after
the meeting of his company a few days
before the expiration of the time for
putting in the bids, lie wrote to me that
he had presented my name; that there
was no objection to my talking an inter
est. a small one, as I expected it to be,
on the basis of the organization of the
company, and that the company had
agreed to put in a bid at $25,000 per
month—no more. He expressed doubts
as to whether the bid would be accepted
or not; but said lie would give no more.
The next thing I heard was the an
nouncement of the lease of the Road as
published in the papers. The names of
the lessees are different in the different
papers, and I do not yet know who they
all really are. Some of them are men
for whom I have as little regard person
ally or politically as any man can have.
Some of them I regard as men of as
high character for honesty and integrity,
in business matters at least, as any men
in the State —men who would be as far
from countenancing swindling of any
sort as any I know in Georgia or else
where.
Now in relation to this charge of the
lease being a “ swindle,” how do the
facts stand? I think they may be thus
summed up. At least this is and was
my view of them :
The Rond was paying nothing to the
State It was used practically as a
political corruption fund. So far from
paying anything into the Treasury, the
Legislature was called upon to make a
large appropriation to keep it up. The
cry was in substance that Bullock,
Blodgett & Cos., were corruptly using
and appropriating the income; that it
ought to be taken out of their hands
and either sold or leased to responsible
parties. This was the Democratic cry.
The measure for a lease was brought
forward in the House by one of the
most prominent Democrats in it. The
bill was published in the newspapers.—
It was sent broadcast over the country.
It was before the public long enough to
be thoroughly understood and discussed
by the press. My opinion was sought
by the introducer of the Bill. I gave
it to him frankly. I was not in position
to know all the facts. I was confined
to my house, not able to walk, and could
not do more than give an individual or
private opinion founded upon my own
reflections. These led me to the con
clusion that a lease under the circum
stances was perhaps the best; but in no
event, nor under any circumstances,
would I favor or vote for a lease, if I
were in the Legislature, for less than
$500,000 per annum. 1 thought it
could be leased for that amount, or it
ought to yield that amount. This is
the substance of what I wrote to him.
I suppose other public men in the State
were consulted as I was. How this is I
do not know, nor what advice was given
by any, if sought. But this I will say;
That if there was a single newspaper of
the Democratic party in the State that
said one word either editorially or by
communication against the proposed
lease, under the bill so published, offer
ing the road for $300,000 per annum,
except the Atlanta luteUigencer , I am
not aware of it, If there was any oppo
sition by the Democratic press in the
State to the lease, with the exception
stated, I did not see or hear of it. Af
ter this opportunity for discussion on
the part of those who were much more
able than I was to look into and investi
gate the subject, the bill passed both
branches of the Legislature. The Sun,
a neutral paper in politics, in Atlanta,
did oppose the measure and call upou
4b© Guveroor to veto it. He, however,
sTtraed the bill, and proceeded to adver
tise. the lease according to the provisions
of the act. It was advertised for weeks,
if not months. If there was a word
said during this whole period by a paper
in Georgia, characterizing it a swindle ,
or even denouncing it as a measure of
bad policy, it escaped me.
It seems to me that the proper time
for vijgilantoscntinels to have sounded
the alarm, if there was anything so
really corrupt in the matter, was when
the measure was before the Legislature
and before bids were made for the lease.
With the exception of the papers stated,
I do not know of one on the Democratic
side, or leaning to that side, which op
posed tire measure while peudingbefore
the Legislature, and not one said aught,
ns far as I know, against the lease while
the advertisement was pending, notify
ing honest and honorable bidders that it
would he regarded in any quarter as a
“ swindle.''
Under the circumstances, 1 repeat I
am quite as much surprised to see this
charge now made as anybody possibly
can be surprised to see my name amongst
those who proposed to take the lease.
All I have to say in conclusion is
that, if there has been anything wrong
or unfair, much more, if there has been
anything corrupt in the letting of the
road under the lease, in the acceptance
or rejection of bids, I know nothing of
the matter. Nay, more, I hope it will
be exposed, and the guilty party, if any,
brought to proper punishment. Let
the attack be not by insinuation. J<et
charges and specifications be made and
proved. My friends need not indulge
in any useless and unnecessary “ pain ”
or “ mortification ” at anything I have
done or shall do in reference to this
lease, or anything else.
My life has been devoted much more
to the interests cf others than it has
been to my own. In this matter, I was
looking in what I did quite as much to
the public as personal interest. I knew 7
Gov. Brown had shown more efficiency
in the management of the State Road
than any person who had ever had it in
hand, or at least I thought he had.—
However much I have differed with
him, and do now differ with him on
grave political questions, yet I have
never believed that he was u “rogue”
in any sense of that word. I considered
him a man perfectly honest in all pecu
niary transactions, both public and pri
vate. Under his management, I believ
ed the State’s interest would be secured
to whatever amount he might feel wil
ling to take the Road at; and so far as
any interest might, under his manage
ment, fall to my small share, if any, that
I expect to devote, as I have much the
greater part of the proceeds of my own
labor, not to my own aggrandizement,
but to the assistance, the relief, the
comfort and well being of others.
Yours truly,
Alexander H. Stephens.
The State Road Lease,
A Second Letter from lion. A. II Ste
phens.
Liij’ty Hall, Crawf’dville, Ga., j
January t>, 1871. j
To the Editor of the Const itutionalist ,
Augusta, Ga —Dear Sir: In the issue
of your paper of yesterday appeared an
exposition of the facts of my connection
with the lease of the State Road.
When that was penned, several days
ago, I supposed, as is apparent from the
whole paper, that everything pertaining
to the letting of the lease, under the act
of the legislature, was fair and just. —
If there had been anything wrong in the
acceptance or rejection of any 7 bid or
bids, 1 was not aware of it, as I stated.
On that point I had seen or heard of no
complaints whatever.
To-day I have been put in possession
of a statemont in writing, made by Mr.
A. K. Seago, of Atlanta, in which he
avers that he and others named by him
did put in a bid for the lease of the road
at $30,500 per mouth, being $11,500
more per month than the sum bid by the
company to which it was leased and in
which my name appears as one of the
lessees. He moreover states that his
company was worth a million of dollars,
and tendered security to the amount of
over eight millions of dollars.
This statement, coming from the
quarter it does, is quite sufficient to
cause me to sever all my connection with
the lease. In doing this, it is not my
wish to be understood as passing judg
ment upon the conduct of others. I act
only for myself, in declaring that I can
not think for a moment of holding an
interest in the lease under this statement
of facts.
In all that I did in regard to the
whole matter, as I have before stated, I
was governed more by a wish and desire
to promote the interest of the State than
by any object of personal gain.
I send you with this a copy of a re
turn by me to the State of all the inter
est I had in the company to which the
road was leased, which I will be obliged
to vou to give to the public with this
communication. Yours, truly,
Alexander 11. Stephens.

The Great Fire in Richmond,
Virginia.
The Richmond Whig of Monday
week has a fhll account of the awful
fire at the Spotswood Hotel on Sunday,
the 25th of December.
About fifteen minutes past one o’clock.
Sunday morning, Patrick Byrd, a color
ed officer servant at the Spotswood Ho
tel, corner of Eighth and Main streets,
was proceeding to wake up the female
servants, whose duty it was to scour the
hotel, when, on reaching the passage
leading to the dining-room, on the next
floor above the office, he discovered an
unusual smoke, and a rapid investiga
tion disclosed to him that it proceeded
from the pantry, a wooden connection
between the kitchen and dining-room,
and forming with the latter an L. He
at once concluded that the house was
on fire in that quarter, and hastily re
turned to the office and informed Mr.
Knowles, the night-clerk, of his conclu
sions. Both thereupon hurried to the
pantry, forced open the door, and found
that even in this short time the smoke
and flames had increased so rapidly that
the former was issuing in every direc
tion. The time was too short to give
the alarm of fire to the sleeping occu
pants of the hotel.
Frantic men, women, and children
leaped from their beds at the cry of fire,
to which was added the cry of murder,
j and a scene followed which beggars all
description, because language is inade
quate to the task of picturing the feel
ings, actions and wild exclamations of
panic-stricken, helpless human beings,
called from their slumbers at suoh an
hour on such a night by the cry of fire
and the Stifling rush of smoke into their
bedrooms. Then the rush for windows,
the cries for help, and the appearance
of mothers, clad only in night clothes,
and shivering from the freezing air. yot
clasping their little ones to protect them
from the biting cold.
It was some time after the first cry
of fire in the building before there was
any alarm outside—in fact John Cooly,
who came down the street about the
time and went into the restaurant near
by, says he could see no sign of fire in
the direction of the Spotswood, although
he heard the cry. Subsequently he
came out with John Jackson, the pro
prietor of the restaurant, and found that
the Spotswood was on fire. He does
not think fifteen minutes elapsed before
the entire building was in a blaze, the
flames reaching with a resistless grasp
for the Grant building adjoining, and
lower down on Main Street. This was
facilitated by the wind, which was
blowing in that direction.
Mr. Edward M. Alfriend occupied
room No. 39 in the hotel. He retired
about half past twelve o'clock and was
aroused, he thinks, about half past one,
by cries of “Save my child !” “Save my
children 1” “Fire !” “Fire !” He sprang
out of his bed ond found his room full of
smoke, so dense that it was impossible
to see his hand lefore him. He hur
riedly put on his clothes and gathered a
few othor pieces of apparel in his hands,
and as rapidly as possible made his es
cape from the hotel. TTe passed along
the main passage on the third floor of
the building and thence down what is
known as the ladies’ stairway. This
passage was so densely filled with smoke
as to make it neessoary for him to hold
his breath as much as possible from his
room down to the parlor floor, two sto
ries below. At the time he left his
room the fire was bursting into the
rooms at the entrance of the passage be
low him. As he passed through the
hall he cried “Fire!” banged upon and
burst open several doors and aroused the
inmates. One of these he ascertained
was occupied by C. A. Shaffter, Super
intendant of Public Printing, who in
forms us that he owes the saving of his
life to Mr. Alfriend. Mr. Alfriend lost
his library, valued at $2,500 ; pictures
valued at S3OO. and all his clothing.
By this time the firemen were on the
gronnd, with their steam eng’ines and
other apparatus, but owing to the fact
that the plusrs were frozen, found diffi
culty in procuring water with their ac
customed dispatch. Despite the weath
er. however, which turned water to ici
cles as if by magic, they toiled on, but
found that to save the Spotswood was a
useless task, and that the Grant build
ings were doomed. The hook and lad
der company were till the while doing
their best to save the inmates of the ho
tel as they appeared at the windows.—
Citizens, among them Mr. Robert Scam
mel. Mr. Shields, a son of policeman
Shields, John Jackson, colored and oth
ers equally active, whose names were
not furnished, were letting down per
sons from the upper stories by sheets—
and other coolness and bravery saved
lives which must have been otherwise
lost.
During the fire an unknown man
leaped from the upper story, and as he
reached the ground a wall fell upon him
crushing him instantly to death. Cap
tain Hoffman, of the Petersburg rail
road, leaped from a window and sus
tained no injury.
While the fire was running rampant,
and the flames hissing and leaping for
fresh food for its insatiate greed, a man
appeared at oue of the upper windows
fronting on Eighth street. He waved
papers which seemed to be of an impor
tant character, and made desperate ap
peals for help. Finally, seeing death
imminent and succor out of the ques
tion, he tore the papess up and met his
doom. The above was the romantic
story current yesterday, but it i3 de
stroyed by the fact that the person re
ferred to was 3ir. Eldrige. of New York,
who was brought out on a ladder, and
left yesterdov for home. He tore up no
papers, but there were papers flying
around his head while he stood at the
window.
The thermometer at sunrise on Sun
day morning indicated 8 degrees above
zero. At the time of the fi~e the mer
cury must have been at least two de
grees lower. The intense cold increased
the perils and trials of the fearful occa
sion. Water thrown by the fireman be
yond the influence of the heat from the
burning pile was immediately congealed.
The steam fire engines, even, were coat
ed with icicles. The telegraph wires
were covered with ice to the thickness
of the largest cables, under the weight
of which some of them were broken. —
They were promptly replaced yesterday.
The rear of Anderson’s and front of
Mash’s establish moot were decked, with
rows of large, pendulous icicles, which
glistened like burnished silver in the
rays of the sun. It seemed ae if the ice
king had snddenly reared a splendid
pallace in the midst of desolation.
Thousands of persons of both sexes,
despite the cold weather, visited the
} burnt district yesterday, and talked over
j the terrible disaster. The firemen kept
lip a stream on the burning debris, and
| towards night the upper corner of the
j standing walls of the Spotswood was
thrown down to prevent any aoeidbnt.
