COL. BLoDGETTs sEAGo LETTER
Our COMPANY"

Editor Marietta JOurndt--We arc
verify living in an age of improve,
ment-new developments are daily
transporting which are calculated
within themselves to astonish tht
natives and arouse to action the dor
mant faculties of the most obduratt
mind. 1t is an old maxim, tina
when "rogues fall out honest mer
get their dues" While | do mol
advocate a personal application Of
this sentiment in the present in
stance to the Seago-Blodgett Com
pany, yet the letter of Col. Blodgett
which made its appearance in the
"True Georgian" does present some
very startling features. In alluding
to the letter, it is not my purpose to
call in question the reputation or
character of any gentleman who has
been, or may be, recognized as one of
the "Seago clique who have been
SO wantonly outraged by not obtain
ing the lease of the State Road, and
the people of Georgia swindled out
of some $4,000 per month as the re.
suit of that failure. Col. Blodgett's
political and private history has been
long the subject for discussion by his
fellow citizens, while his official re-
cords are matters which | do not
propose at present to elucidate-the
subject which have now under
consideration is, to call the attention
of the people of Georgia to the ex-
position which appears in his letter
to Seago; while it may not be con-
sidered real offer of bribery by Mr..
Seago to Col. Blodgett, it neverthe-
less conveys such an appearance of
deception and intended fraud that
men holding positions in society as
that claimed by Mr.. Seago, should
at least put the blush of shame upon
his cheek, and render him obnoxiou
to any honest man in the commune
ty in which he resides. What are
the facts upon this subject ! We
are informed that SeagO offered Col.
Blodgett SO for his stock in the
Seago- Blodgett Company, in order
that Col Blodgett and Seago might
s,eeay that Col. Blodgett was not one
of "our company'-having a mental
reservation still remaining, that Col.
B. was member of the Company
whenever the lease should be obtain
ed. Why was this course so in
geniOusly planned upon the part of
Mr.. SeagO? for the express purpose
Of making Col. Blodgett the tool of
Seago in electioneering with the
Republican Party in the Legislature
as disinterested parsonage, while
Seago was to operate with the Dem
ocrats with like disinterested mo-
tiyes; at any tine being willing
whenever it shall become necessary
TO prove that they were not parties

The Covington Enterprise says
The abundant rains which have
made the corn prospects very prom
Using, have been rather drawback
upon cotton generally though the
warm sunshine fthe last few days
has produced marked improvement
on such crops as have not suffered
too much for want of work. Dill.
gent attention has this year been
more beneficial than imported fer
tilizers. With one month more of
seasonable rains, the corn crop of
this section will be unusually good,
but few weeks drought just now,
will cut off the prospect now so
promising.

There occurs no physical, social
or moral effect without a cause, and
communism or agrarianism furnishes
no exception. We copy an article
On "Communism in New York, the
writer of which, shuddering at the
effect and denouncing the actors, yet
like most other writers, finds no PAL
liation in, and suggests no remedy
for, the moving cause. Commun-
ism is a natural result of the growth
of population and of the unequal dis
tribution of wealth in the progress of
civilization. When the means of a
rational life are denied to the bulk
of a population whether of city or
country, while few roll in opulence
secured by fraud, violence, tyranny
or what not, it cannot be expected
that the mass will move on quietly
from bad to worse, from generation
to generation, suffering as they do
in Paris, in London or New York.
The few in Rome found refuge under
an Empire. In Paris they have
saved themselves at terrible sacri'
fee. In London they sleep CON
sciously over the slumbering volcano
and New York may profit by thei
example.

COMMUNISM IN NEW YORK.

A New York correspondent of the
/ Boston Post says: Since the dia-
bolism of the Paris Commune at
tracted the attention of mankind to
the principles there expounded and
enforced, much has been said about
the existence of similar element in
this country, and especially in New
York. Well, we have an element
of this kind here, and it makes no
secret of its sympathy with the ruff
fans who have done their utmost to
disgrace and ruin France. 1t is
composed mainly of members of the
International Workingmen's Society
a branch of which was organized in
this city about three years ago, but
has many sympathizers outside of
the class there represented.
The free-lovers are with it heart and
hand, though some of them pretend
to deprecate the horrible acts COM
mitted in Paris; all the social and
moral reformers sympathize with it,
and many of them justify the fright

The Hawkinsville Dispatch says
From eur own knowledge and in
formation from other sources we are
convinced that the peach crop will
be a partial if not an entire failure in
this section. Trees that were bur-
dened with fruit few weeks ago,
are now shedding rapidly, and be-
fore it will have matured and ripen-
ed, three fourths will be utterly ruin
ed by decay. Dried fruit will be
very scarce in this region next fall
and winter Those who have the
opportunity, should prepare, as
much as possible, as such an article
will command fair price.
