The second choice was knocked down to 11. W. Sage, at $470, mid the third to D. B. Howard at S4GO. Bhakspeare Howard, who had been an excited bidder from the first, secured the fourth choice for $420. — H. B. Claflin paid $435 for the sixth choice, and Ilenry C. Bowen, of the Independent, invested $405 in a second seat. The first hundred choice pews ranged from SSBO to S3OO, the prices gradually depreciating as the desirable scats were taken up. The average of prices was about ton per cent higher than that of last year. 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. Wild Lands-Execution Stay ed.

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. [copy.] Georgia. Taliaferro County: Know all men by these presents: That I, Al exander M. Stephens, of said State and county, for divers good and sufficient causes, me thereunto moving, have as signed and transferred, and do hereby assign, transfer and turn over to the said State of Georgia, all the right, title and interest I have to and in the share I hold in the Western and Atlantic Rail road Company, under the lease of said road for the term of twenty years; the said share being the one-fourth of a full share in the stock of said company, or the one-nin^'y-second part thereof; and do hereby authorize and direct the Treasurer of said State for the time be ing to collect and receive from the prop er officer of said company all dividends, if any, which shall at any time hereafter be declared to be due *o the said por tion of said stock so held by me—the said Treasurer to hold the same subject to the action of the General Assembly of the State. In testimony whereof. I have here ,, —, unto set my hand an<f seal,this •j L. s. 6th day of January, 1871. ■ —.- Alf.x. H. 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. New A drertls emen ts.
