.That,s Nothing"

Some little fellows were telling stories
OF the late war, principally relative to
their friends and relations being made
prisoners, and of their long sufferings
In prison. Each one of them had q
wonderful story to tell regarding some
one Of their relations who thus suffered
almost martyrdom for their country, or
rather they all had such story but
Tommy Green, and the fact of his fam,
lily not being distinguished in this way
rather nettled him. Presently he seem:
ed to have new idea regarding such
honors. ''That's nothing" said he, "my
father was in prison for three years, an
he never went a-near the darned ole
war."

GEORGIA STATE RAILROAD LEASE

Below is the account of the final passage
of the lease resolution in the House as de-
tailed by an Intelligent correspondent ofthe
Augusta ConStitutiOndlist:
ATLANTA, Aug. IA, 1S72.-Editors Con-
StitutionaLiSt: At last the sWeltering agony
is over and
- THE STATE ROAD LEASE,
which has cost the State many thousands
of dollars for investigating; which has Great
ed vast amount Of i'll feeling, elimination
and recriminatiOn, is settled finally and for
ever. The lease remains precisely as it
stood before, which is precisely where the
people want it, and where their interest de-
mands that it should remain.
The war upon the lease has been vigor-
GUS and unc0mpromising war, bat it was
the suggestion of hot blood rather than of
sober Judgment. 1t was commenced for
the purpose of breaking tbs lease. The
investigation was ordered for the purpose
of breaking the lease. The whole thing,
upon its final defeat in the House, has
been urged for the purpose of breaking the
lease. There was no spirit of compromise
manifested by the antagonists of the lease.
n thing would have satisfied them but the
taking of the road out of the hands of tie
present lesses, and with this end In view
the fight has been made.
suspect that opposition to some of the
Iessees had a great deal to do with stimula-
ting the opposition to the lease. may be
wrong in this, but it is known that Cover
nor Brown is not favorite with some of
the gentlemen who presented the most Wig
orous opposition to the lease. Neither is
Mr.. Hill. And, upon the hypothesis that
no good thing can come out of Israel,
they may have suspected that there was
fraud in the transaction, simply because
Bullock conducted the transaction on one
side.
But the matter has had full, free and,
as far as appears, an impartial investigation.
1t has had full, free and exhaustive dis
cussion in the Assembly. It has had a
most liberal and able debate through the
papers. Afler all this the verdict of the
representatives of the people is-let the
lease alone. Stop the discussion. Let the
State receive her monthly rental, anL let
she people be glad that it is no less.
