Angier states that Bull- <:k issued
three mdli.-n gold binds to redeem seven
hundred th usand dollars, and two mil
lion currency bonds to meet three hum-.
died thousand dollars. Clews was told
this by AlUui Angler.
The Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road bonds to the amount, of $194,000
were indorsed by Bullock. Thirty
bonds sold at from 90 to 9! V cents, and
IG4 were hypothecated to New York
Warehouse Company for SIOO,OOO by
the A &O.R. K. Cos. The committee
recognize tin sc bonds as got and.
The Buinbridge, Cuthbert and Co
luuibus Railroad issued SOOO,OOO of
bonds, of which $240,000 were indorsed
by Bullock without the signature ol
Secretary of State, who was to sign
them when 20 miles were done. Fifty
miles were graded but none ironed
Kidd, Pierce A Cos. own the indorsed
bonds, who advanced 805,000 on $2-10.-
UOO. These bonds are void.
The Brunswick and Albany Railroad
had $3,300,000 indorsed bonds, and
?1,880.000 gold Btate bonds. Road
cost $20,000 per mile. TLe road was
in operation 05 miles in 1803. 'ihe
iron was taken «p by the Confederate
authorities and paid for. The State
government had nothing to do with the
matter. The following facts arc obtained
The act giving aid was based on the
falsehood that the Btate owed the road
for the iron taken by the Confederate
States government. It. A. Crawford,
says Win. L. Avery told him that Bul
lock got $100,01)0 for indorsing the
bonds* B. Y. Sage, of the Air-Line
Road, swears that Bullock told him be
fore he signed the bill giving aid to the
Air Line, that “if there were anything
to he mode out of it. that he, (witness)
might e< utjtyipon him (Bullock) as be
ing iras on the make,” and
when Bullock indorsed the Air
Line bonds, lie sfid “ even if the com
pany did comply with the law’ and Con
stitution in every particular, he never
would sign another bond unless they
would turn out that damned rascal, Aus
tell, because Austell was backing up
Angier and he would not give aid to bis
enemies.” This shows the morality of
the noble Rufus in these matters. The
indorsements were erven in every ease
before the lawful amount of road was
completed. Clews, the Treasurer of the
Company, and the negotiator oi large
numbers of the bonus, knew of this.—
Finney, the financial agent of the road,
kept him constantly informed. Clows
said he could take care of himself.—
Bonds were issued fifteen or twenty
miles in advance, all the time, which
Clews knew. Finney says that Conant
told him they gave Roland B. Hall, leg
islator from Glynn, $7,000 in stock for
his services in regard to the bill, and
also gave him a lot in Brunswii k worth
SI,OOO. Houston swears that Hall was
put out because the company did not do
enough for him for his valuable services,
and he left the impression on witness’
mind that improper influences were
used to pass the bill, and ho threatened
the company. W. K. BcGralfenricd
notified Clews' agent, Lewis, that the
bonds were issued against law. The
second indorsement bill was gotten up
in Conant s effice, in New York.
L. Avery‘drew it Frost, the President
~f the Find, testifies that he refused to
aceept. h u.l ■ in advance of the work
that Bulh e! and Kin ball wanted to de
liver. but, Kimball did proe ire and use
them. Frost says repeated illegal out
rages were attempted by the contractors,
C'*naut and Avery.
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1872.
Win. L. Avery says Clews knew all
about the matters, and was to have a
fuiirth interest. The testimony against
Ckuvs shows his thorough knowledge of
every fraud.
Jacob 11. Scliiff swears that he nego
tiated $1,810.000 of the bonds in Eu
rope for $1 459.582 S8 on Clews’ pledge
that’the bonds wore all right, lie was
to account f r the bonds at 77] and 80
cents, retaining the surplus over. Schifi
had tlie exclusive right to sell them in
Europe from Clews, but Clews broke the
contract. Babcock says $20,000 was
spent in Atlanta to bribe members to
pass the bill.
sudtl) A Cos., of New York, sold iron
to Kimball, and took $304,000 bonds
at 05 cents The Metropolitan Bank
loaned $75 000 on 100 bonds; the
National Bank $133,000 on 190
b n Is; 8. Marxs bought 151 bonds in
London. October, IS7I at 00] cents.
Other news show’ that Kimball trot a
million'and a half of dollars from the
sale and hypothecation of the b<»uds. Os
the indorsed b nds all were reported to
the committee but 219, and all of the
State bonds but 382; and 307 bonds
were issued in duplicate, and 41
bonds in triplicate. This makes $5.-
559 .000 of bonds illegal and forged, used
bv this road.
There was no investment of private
parties in the road. Certificates wore
prepared in blank by the engineer and
tilled at pleasure. All of the bonds were
indorsed by Bullock without (Ltc —-
Some 1.080 bonds were signed by Frost

125,000 of the bonds .there is no road
to*show. There arc three millions of
debt against the roa •. The committee
decides the whole batch of these bonds
invalid, i he question is flb’y discussed
Railroad charters are laws, and people
are,on notice of laws alid Constitutions
Public agents can only bind to the extent
of their power. None of the conditions
of the law were complied with in the
completion of the road or private invest
ment. The State's agents could uot in
dt ise illegally, and purchasers must look
to agent’s authority, which is open and
limited. As between the Ss*te snd’the
original contractors on these bonds, the
State is not bound, as they had knowledge
of the frauds. Nor i* the State bound to
innocent purchasers from the contractors.
The authorities to contract must exist
before liability begrrrs.
The purchaser must look to the nu
thority, and ho cannot benefit by his neg
ligence. The restrictions of laws he must
notice. The authorities are full and ex
plicit ( n this. An illegal indorsement
cannot be made .good by any amount of
circulation. Its invalidity is incurable
No inquiry was made by purchasers;
they bought on the Governor’s signa
ture.
The Cartersville and Van Wert Rail
road has two sets of indorsed bonds for
the same miles, $275,000 in one batch
and $300,000 in the other, both out.—
The testimony shows that the road was
not built when the bonds were indorsed,
and Bullock knew it. Henry Clews
h:.s the first bunds, and as treasurer of
the company knew the fraud. The
committee report these, bonds void.
Two million currency bonds w’ere is
sued to raise money on temporarily. —
Three millions gold bonds were after
wards issued to pay the money. —
Bullock sent Kimball to t ike up the
currency bonds to cancel. Clews held
sßoo.ooo,and Russell Bago $530,000
currency bonds.
Ihe former to cover $17,000. Sage
g' t $500,000 g'ld bonds to indemnify
hi in and refused to give up currency
bonds. Clews also refused. Kimball
took the currency he got up and borrowed
money on them from J. Boorman and
A. G. Johns, $35,000 on $50,000 bonds.
The cream of this transaction was that
Kimball bamboozled these sharp New
York brokers by getting their money
on Bulkck's order to cancel aud return
said currency bonds to the,Georgia Treas
ury they taking Kimball’s word, and de
clining even to read the order. The
Btate got none of the money. The gen
tlemen were in fault for being deceived
The committee report these bonds as of
no f. ice.
The Macon and Brunswick Road
has $2,550,000 bonds indorsed, of
w hich $2,100,000 wore under the pres
ent Constitution, fi-r which there is an
equivalent of private investment, but
not. for the $450,000. The committee
make nc reci uimendation. These bonds
brought from sixty cents to par.
The gold bonds were three millions. —
Kimball got $250,000 tor the Opera
Mouse; James 8100,000 for the Exe
cutive mansion ; Henry Clews has $502,-
000 unsold; $300,000 have been re
turned to the Treasury, and $12,598,000
were sold and hypotuecated. Os this
last sum Clows sMd $1,650,000, and
Kimball manipulated the rest. Clews
got $1,432,250 for his bonds, and paid
SIOO,OOO on State Road bonds, $009,-
192 7S on drafts and notes of Bullock
and Blodgett on account of State Road.
$108,700 to the National Bank, and
$254,000 for expenses and fees. The
money paid on Bullock's and Blodgett’s
drafts was misappropriated, and Clews
did not get the gold bonds ns collateral
security but for sale. The money raised
by Kimball on these bonds can’t be es
tiuiatod. The committee recommends
all these gold bonds to bo paid, as Bui
lock was m t restricted l.y law as to their
issue. The gold bonds held by Clews
are illegally in his hands, in opinion of
the committee.
The Couth Georgia and Florida Rail
road. SOI4,UuO. issued by Jenkins and
used by Bullock, arc valid.

Speculative Masonry.
Speculative Masonry is theoretical
Masonry, and as applied to principles, it
means a system. Speculative Masonry
is then a system of principles. This
system of principles relates to the na
ture and conduct of men. It is. there
fore, a system of morals. Without pro
posing to answer the many objections
urged against it, in view of the conduct
of its members, we will proceed at once
to show that Speculative Masonry is a
grand system of moral principles.
The moral law must be the law of
tiie perfect man. There arc but two
propositions that can be laid down upon
the subject of w hat morality is. The one
is.morality is a code of rules for the be
havior of "man as he is,” a code which
recognizes existing delects of character
and make 1 ’ allowai ee for them: the
other ss, that it is a code of* rules to
regulate the conduct of £ ‘ men as they
should be.”
The first proposition is not accepted
by Masonry, for it nowhere approves
or countenances acts made needful by
an) r defects. Acts cannot bo excused
on the ground of defect in character,
and any system of morality that permits
such acts is no morality at all.
'ihe code of morality approved by
Masonry ignores all vicious conditions,
defects, and incapacities, and prescribes
for a sound and perfect humanity.-
“ Bure and absolute rectitude.” is the
only morality esp used by Masonry, and
any C : nduet w hich i r?; ■ * Dime •- «<»•»
demned by it. It is the internal man
that Masonry looks to, and not the ex
ternal. Speculative Masonry proposes
to set forth a statement of social and
moral principles under which human
beings may harmoniously combine, and
requires perfection in human conduct,
that is, it a- es not change to suit the
times. It is the same to-day that it was
in the days of St. John, the Evangelist,
and St. John, the Baptist. The reason
why it does not change is. because it is
a sound system of morality, and rejects
the “Expediency System.”
Masonry teaches the doctrine of un
changing right and vrotuj. and believes
that the principles arc not interchange
able.
While it is a human institution, or
ganized by man, it is founded upi n what
is believed to be truth. The great work
of the organization is, therefore, to
bring men up to a correct standard oi
moral conduct., and not as some suppose,
to change the heart ; that is a work of
higher power than Mas.ury Specu
lative Masonry treats s«doly of the
straight man, one who will bear the
straight edge < f the square, and not of
broken hat k -d curves and crooked lines.
Masonry, like geometry, requires perfect
figures. Any deviation from mor lity is
Hon-Masonic. True Masonry is moral
health, or, in other words, it is the sci
ence oft-a healthy and pure morality.—-
"All evils result from the non-adaptation
of constitution to couditii ms.”

Cure for Dysentery.
Edim-to ( l o):stifnfion : Believing that
therejn-e many cases of this fearful dis
easeriespeeia!ly among children, in this
community, please give place to this
remedy. It is as follows :
A spoonful or two of pure, raw wheat
flour, thinned with water so it can bo
easily drank. Three or four doses, taken
at intervals of ton or twelve hours, will
cure any case not absolutely chronic ;
and from what 1 have witnessed, I feel
sure it is one of the best remedies in
the world for chroni<#diseascs. To make
the dose palatable for children, it can
bo sweetened and flavored with some
drops n.*t acid.
Some forty years ago the dysentery
prevailed throughout the Northern States
to an alarming extent killing thousands;
and in the midst of it someone pub
lished this remedy, which was every
where adopted and worked like a charm,
curing thousands, and I, now an old
man. have known hundreds of cases
cured by it since. It seems to have the
effect to check the disease and at the
same time restore the inner coating to
the bowels, which the doctors tell us is
lost by the disease.
An Old Observer.
Mark 'Twain says of a defunct
friend: ‘ You can never see such a
clear head as what he had—and so calm
and so cool. Just a hunk of brains—
that is just what he was. Perfectly
awful. It was a ripping distance from
one cud of that man’s head U> t’other.
Once an’ again he’s had brain fever raging
in one place, and the rest of the uiie
didn’t know anything about it—didn’t
affeei it any more t’lnu an Injun insur
reef ion in Arizona affects the.,United

j He belonged to Heth’s Division and
I fell on that terrible Sunday morning’s
fighting in irout of Petersburg. lie
was a Georgia sergeant and his name
was George 11. W illiams. His body
was taken to the city by his friends and
a cuffin ordered. 51 r. J. T. Morriss
made the coffin and the body was placed
in it and set aside for bis friends to have
buried. But the cannon were booming,
the shells screaming and bursting, our
boys retreating, and the Yankees pour
ing in, so the body was left to lay. in
its wooden bed up stairs, in the under
taker s shop. Mr. Morriss could get no
conveyance to bear it away, and it had
become so oiieiiMve that he had it bu
ried in the back yard under the steps.
A few days since, and the Petersburg
Progress recorded a tire, and the house
that was then the undertaker’s shop, on
Sycamore street, was burnt The work
men commenced clearing away the debris
and discovered a coffin, through the
crack of which the remains of a man
could be seen. All was excitement, the
coroner gathered his jury and sat in
quest over it, and Mr. Morriss came and
cleared np the mystery by telling bis
plain and simple story. Only a simple
story, it is true, but how it carries his
old comrades back to that day ! how it
will be read and bugged as a treasure

A - ntovel Request.—A
Major writes to the United States Treas
ury concerning the fate of his five dol
lar bill as follows :
I send to you for redemption u frag
ment of a $5 bill, the rest of which
was destroyed under strangely careless
circumstances. Having just received
the bill, 1 dropped it in my pocket in
company with some ragged tobacco, and.
after supper, taking a chew, I chewcii
money, tobacco, and everything, leaving
scraps of the bill and fragments of the
tobacco. 1 discovered the sad catas
trophe, and went for the masticated
“cud,” but all traces of the money had
vanished, and, “like the baseless fabric
of a dress, left not a wreck behind.”
Vainly was 1 bending, crooking, and with
both my pyc- a looking,
Looking- for my lost sjioudulie, Lke the
Fichu! lost of yore ;
Looking for the well-chewn fragment which
l lost the night bufoie ;
Only this, and nothing more.
"Spuds," quoth I, "for thee I pinctli.
Gone to where the woodbine twineth ;
Gone, departed, doomed and fated,
Gone to fragments dess’eated ;
Gon-*, as I have already stated.
Where thy worth no longer sliineth.

Many a woman looks as fresh as a
June morning in clean calico or white
muslin, whose complexion and figure
are utterly ruined the moment she duns
her silks and velvets. Now, precisely
the same thing happens with ideas.—
People spoil good ones every day by ar
raying them in verse, and editorial waste
baskets are fed constantly with matter
which, if dressed in good respectable,
homespun garments of prose, would find
a ready welcome to printed columns.
A country clergyman, paying a pro
fessional visit to a dying neighbor, who
was a very churlish and universally un
popular man, put the usual question :
“ Are you willing to go, my friend ?”
“ Oil, yes,’’ said the sick man, “ 1 am.”
“Well,” said the simple-minded minister,
“ I am glad you are; for the neighbors
are all willing.”
The other day an excited individual
accosted a street gamin with the ques
tion :
“Say. bub. which is the quickest way
for me CD get to the railroad depot ?”
“ Run,” was the response.

To be good men and tiue, is nil that
Masonr/ requires.
Let no man call God his Father, who
calls not man his brother
If our symbols were better taught re
should need less of side decrees.
It is the duty of Masonr to seek a
knowledge of each other as Masons.
As in the creation, evening came be
fore morning so in our mystic work
Anti Masonry blew its blast and pti
rifled Masonry by blowing out the ch ill
The germ and nucleus of all Freema
sonry is to be found in the primitive
degrees.
In the Lodge there are no u)or\arch
ists, aristocrats or republicans—but Ma
sons—brethren.
M asonry is as a progressive science,
and to be obtained only by time, pa
tience and industry.
Tbcye was to bo seen in all the Egyp
tian temples, ns the symbol of divine
wisdom and Providence.
It is impossible for Masonry to de
generate. The worst evil that can befall
it is the neglect of its friends.
The Masonic is a Society whose lib
oral principles are founded in tlie im
mutable laws of truth and justice.
Observe well the old landmarks—in
quire after the old paths and rally around
the old standards of our fathers.
There is but one road leading to the
portals of Masonry, the king and his
most humble subject must travel the
same way.
Henry Clay was a Mason as early as
1809. In 1819 he was Grand Orator
of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, ai.d
in 1821 its Gmtid Master.
The mission of Freemasonry is one
of mildness and peace. It carries with
it no pauophy of power, but its own
purpose ; its own excellence and value.
Masonry needs no voice, beyond its
own mild and endearing precept and
teachings to bespeak its claims to the
just estimation and confidence of the
world.
W ere I to travel in a foreign eoun
try, I should consider my Masonic rela
tions the surest safeguard, aside from
divine protection that could bo thrown
around me.
Blessed be the institution that lifts
the cup of consolation to the lips of the
afflicted, and gives the poor and humble
the high ministry of imparting this be
nevolence.
Masonry is not to be placed on a par
with revealed religion ; but rightly ex
ereised, she supplies some of those rare
motives for doing good which are some
times looked for only in religion.
Order, truth, harmony, benevolence,
the grand principles of God, are the
foundations of Masonry; and through
out her career she lias loved and sus
tained and never departed from them
Masonry is the application of divine
principles by human wisdom to man’s
wants, in time —Christianity, the appli
cation of divine principles by divine
wisdom to man’s temporal and eternal
interests.
If we disregard in our intercourse
with the world, the duties which Ma
sonry teaches vve cannot hope to ad
vance its reputation or to impress upon
the uninitiated the value of the iustitu
tion.
In the year 1425 Freemasonry was
prohibited in England, occasioned prin
cipally by the Bishop of Winchester,
who was de irous of obtaining the sole
government of the state of affairs, and
conceived the idea that the Craft, as a
body, was inimical to his designs.
Religion is a divine revelation—Free
masonry a human invention. Religion
is from God —Freemasonry from man.
Religion is infallible-—Freemasonry,sub
ject to all the errors of human infirmi
ty. Religion is tho bond of man to
God- Freemasonry the bond of man to
man.
The duty of relieving the distressed
.is unequivocally taught by the Gospel
of Christ, an«l enjoined as an item of
Christian laith and practice; yet it can
be said without fear of contradiction,
that no class of men has ever carried
them out so invariably and universally,
as the members of the Masonic Frater
nity.
Masonry has performed many mis
sions upon this earth, and she has more
to accomplish ere she fulfills her desti
ny of goe and ; but there is one beautiful
feature of her ministry not frequently
preseuted for our inspection—it is that
brings together, at one and tire time
altar, the aud the Jew.
St me watf 8 were walking around an

From the success attending the first ses
sion. we feel confident that ottf school will
prove a success in the future. Out house is
large, comfortable and neat ; ohr situation
is beautiful, and our society excellent. The
method of teaching has been very success
ful. The classes learned rapidly. Our course
of studies is thorough, up with the times,aud
*uch as will, if thoroughly studied, prepare
young ladies and gentlemen for business,
usefulness and happiness.
It is folly to talk about succeeding In life
without an education. Ymty or fifty yearq
ago. when our lands were ffefih and very
productive, and when we tjoltivatod them
simply with the plough and hoc, aud then
hauled our produce to market on wagons. a
very limited education was thought to be
sufficient; but now. in the days of improved
machinery and farming implements, rail
road, Sc., n good education is absolutely
necossory. Young men, if you want to umko
money, if you want to make a Competency
tor all the practical purposes qualify your
selves in early life, go to school, train your
minds, and store them with useful knowl
edge. We do not say that our school is the
best, but we think it is ns good as any in Its
section, und that it meets the demnnd of the
ige. Ask those who have attended our
school. Give us a trial, save money by cheap
boarding, only $lO to sl2 per month. Our
school is no humbug. It does not run by
gas-works, hut by common sense, and relies
upon its merits to sustain it. •
