ErHE STATE ROAD.

There occurred quite spirited
discussion in the recent Georgia
Railroad Convention over the lease
of the State Road. Blodgett, Seago
& Co., were represented by Toombs
and others who hope through the
next Legislature to have the lease
annulled in their favor. Judge
King, who represented the Other
side showed that the Road had paid
Pa per cent in the past. Last year
it asked for 100000 while Blodgctt
who made this requisition offered tc
take the lease and pay $4,000
monthly. Mr.. King said there were
some honest men in the last Legisla-
turo but very few. at was said
the next would be better. He
hoped to God it would" lie con-
tended that the lessees were amply
responsible and that tic contract
would be executed in good faith.

THE establishment of Trunk
Factory in the town of Marietta was
deemed matter Of congratulation
by the JOURNAL, and justly so. If
this Factory can succeed burthened
with the high rates of living here at
present, what might we hope for its
future if we could offer it the facilities,
conycnicnces and cheapness of !iv-
ing as in other manufacturing coun-
tries2
Suppose this manufacturer has
three children to educate his three
workmen three each the total is
twelve children at a cost of not less
than fifty dollars per month or six
hundred per annum. 1t is evident
that this six hundred dollars must
be added to the price of his trunks
and paid by the user. Now six hun
dred dollars will pay freight on a
great many trunks made where the
workmen are not subject to this item
of expense in living, and conse-
quently the article is made so much
cheaper that it may be shipped here
with freight added in successful
competition. This six hundred dol
lars then is the chief barrier in the
way of complete success in manu-
featuring here. But for it, capital
would flow in upon us, the sound OF
the hammer. the lathe, the saw and
the spindle would be heard in every
street and business clothe the town
as with a mantle.

takes away the foundation from one
side Of the arch, and of course it falls
in. There is no harmony of opinion
and of purpose left amongst the peo-
pie, and discord amongst them is the
only thing that remains to divert
their attention from their condition
Of abiect slavery to the tyranny that
is over them.
Now, we are not the especial friend
of General Sherman. But we are
not surprised at his utterances. 1t is
strange that such declarations have
not been made before. There has
been provocation enough to have
drawn them from any honest man
and Greeley says that General Sher-
man is "rigidly honest" 1t is a
wonder that sympathy for mis-
governed and noble country has not
forced him and others long ago to
proclaim such facts from the house
tops. 1t is gratifying to every
"honest" and thinking American
that this "honest" General has thus
frankly declared his opinions. That
he has done so, widens the range in
selecting the man who shall bring
the country out of the wilderness of
corruption and fraud, and out of the
slough of despond.
The South asks not that her ''pe-
culiar notions" as they are called,
shall be propitiated. No; far from
it! The poor South would be glad
of peace and liberty, with crust of
bread. Give US freedom from insult
and outrage from calumniation from
the Presidential seat, and the liber-
ty to manage our domestic concerns,
and we shall have nothing to say
about political economy. What ace
scant is Chat the eOh0Le nation should
secure to itSeb-the honest admin'S-
tratiOn Of the government according to
the constitution, and equal rights to
all the States and the people Of this
Union About men we care moth
ing. Give us the men to do this and
we shall be entirely satisfied. With
out such men there will be neither
peace nor harmony in the land, and
the nation cannot grow and strength
en- in power and dignity as it should

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

If a cotton crop is to be grown
this year in Georgia, we may say
the work is, to a great extent, to be
commenced. Much of what is up is
in SO sickly and perishing a condi-
ton, and so INSTRUCTED by grass and
weeds, that it will have to be plowed
up. This is particularly true on low
and level lands. On dryer localities
it is badly washed, and the stand
everywhere is exceedingly poor. We
have never known a more unprom-
ising prospect at this season of the
year, and have come to the conclu-
sion that 1871 will probably witness
enough of cotton failure to produce
in connection with TIE great cotton
years of 1869 and 1870, a general
average. With so poor start and
SO much of the growing season lost,
the deficit, as compared with last
year, must necessarily be great. A
million bales will hardly cover it
Corn is better, but all plantation
work is sadly behind hand. In the
past fortnight more than half the

THE ISSUE

Is either one ofpolicy or of prin-
ciple. If the latter, then the democ-
racy must plant itself upon plat
form denouncing the whole system
of radical reconstruction and de-
handing the restoration of the rights
of the States. The objection made
to this is it insures defeat.
fit is to be an issue of policy; if
the democracy is only to aim at Sue
CESS, then we trust it will have sense
enough to accomplish that object
1t will not do to nominate any one
involved with the issue Of principle,
or, indeed, any cioiIian with the hope
of defeating one now welding the
most extraordinary powers of gov
eminent. Against any such nomina-
ton Grant now commands success.
II, however, the democracy is go
ing in to scin let it nominate the
General of the Army, VIM. Il. SHER-
MAN, and the Ku-Klux bill is dead
letter in the Presidential campaign
and success is certain.
Nor, can it be doubted that the
political social and material interests
of the South and the welfare of the
whole country would be promoted
by the change. Gen. Sherman had
his own views of the sacredness o.
the Union, but as an antagonist o
secession he proved himself, in thu
end, magnanimous, liberal and sym
pathetic. If the South desires
firm and powerful friend in the Gov
ernment it should take the means o
securing one able and we believe
willing to see our people righted'

GAINESVILLE, Ga, May II, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
i notice in your issue of this morn
ing under the head of "a new Rev
elation," an extract from the Mont
gomery Mail in reference to a prop
osition from Mr.. Lincoln to our COM
missioners, who met him at Hampton
Roads, the correctness of which is
involved in some doubt, but which
should, by all means, be finally set
tied, during the lifetime of Mr..
Stephens and other living persons
who were prominent actors in this
NOV ement.
recollect to have read similar
statement to that of the Mail in a
speech made by Hon. George H.
Pendleton, of Ohio, in Cincinnati,
very soon after Seymour had been
nominated for the Presidency. Mr..
Pendleton, i'll remember correctly,
was arguing the proposition that the
policy of the Republican party, since
the close the war, was not the policy
of that party during the war; and
the action of Mr.. Lincoln who, he
stated, wrote Reconstruction" on a
sheet of paper and told our commits
sioners if they would agree to that
they could write the balance of the
treaty, and was cited as proof Of the
correctness of his proposition. The
facts can certainly be gotten at, and
the interests ofso many of our peo-
pie were effected by the reusults
of that meeting, that they have a
right to know the truth. On the
other hand honored names were con-
nected with the movement to termi-
nate the war, which should be fully
exonerated from the charge, while
this report is not authoritatively con-
tradicted, of so foolishly sacrificing
the rights and interests of their coun-
trymen. AS a leading public jour
nal. | would ask in the name of
many interested, that You call furth-
er attention to the matter, and secure
its investigation to the bottom.

SWEDISH IMMIGRATION.

i rom the Macon Telegraph & MessehSeT'I
A leading citizen of Jasper sends
us the following copy of letter re-
ceived from Mr.. John Foss, a Swede,
now in Sweden as the agent of the
people of Jasper and adjoining coun-
ties, for procuring immigrants from
that country. Our correspondent
saws that Mr.. Foss has established a
character for integrity, and his agent
in Monticello, to whom this letter is
addressed, Mr.. N. B. White, is one
of the most enterprising merchants
of that place.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Foss re-
ports his countrymen very anxious
to make engagements TO come to
Georgia. He will bring two hun
dred with him-has had five hun
bred applications to come, and would
like to bring thousand immigrants
and we wish we had them.
There are no better people than
the Swedes. We think among Eu.
ropean immigrants employed in farm
and domestic service in the United
States, they stand everywhere about
No. ! , as sober, industrious, faithful
and trustworthy, and there is M
doubt that the great mass of these
immigrants, starting from this hum
bic beginning, will, in few years
rise to the position of prosperou
landholders and form highly val
liable addition to the population 0
Georgia. There is not a man o
: woman amsng them who cannot reat
and write, and few who may not b.
called intelligent. Well grounded
in childhood in all rudimental moral
religious and literary knowledge
and exceedingly frugal in their hab
f its, the road to comparative wealtl
will be found easy and their progress
rapid. We wish there were enough
of these people in Georgia to-day t.
elevate the standard OF labor by thei
example, and to create by some
small competition an appreciate
value for a wages engagement. i
has none now, and therefore we are
without the smallest means Of en-
forcing reasonable service for reas.
enable wages, unless the employee
chooses to give it. We append thu
