AN OVEN LETTER PROM TOE OEORGIA CON- GREASMAX, Attanta (@) Constttution, Dec, 24, House oy REPRESENTATIVES, WABHINGTON, . C.; Dee. 21, 187.—My Dezar Bin: I trust you will believe me when I assuro you that your fetter I8 esteened as worthy to come from traly stylo yourself. Every mall is bringing mo letters-from every section of the Unlon, and my fricnds which ts most remarkablo. 1 will not pretend that T am Insensible to the cflect which may be produced on'my personal pulitical fortuncs, but I do sny that my chief solivitude I8 excited by far différent and, I will add, by far highor conslderations. Iy the reputation of o public man can be tar- nlshed by ugeneles so triding and s0 false - as those new ot work, then there can bo no Hitle encoursgernent for unseltiah patriotism, Ldo pot pretend that I have served or can servo my country with abflity, butl can say that [ lve given, and am now giving, under the most elubarrassing disadvantages, to that conutry the very best abllitles I possess, Under the severest trials I Liave mado a recorit of featless tidelity in dulense of Buuthern clvill- zaton and manhood, and of unfliuching adher- ence to constitutional government which noman van deny. _ But what I3 all this worth it it can liave o effect in protecting me from irrespousls ble mquibs frum Wushlugton City, some of which, ut Jeast, wre iusplred ‘snd mauy ceournged by the most unworthy mo- uves possibled It such squibs, whether thoughtlesy or desleming, ~ can throw triends futo s panle and cucourage enemics to sefresh thelr mullgnity with tho stereotyped slungg, “ T alwoys told you he was not reliable!” then our free institutions and pupular govern- aueut huve srvived ut o perlod whers & publle mnu can have no proteetion save fn the nothings neas of hia imbeciity ur the vallousness of bis corryption, He {8 sate slone when o does notn- ing that fools can criticlse, or does only what Bivelings will puf? for a consideration. Now, sir, I do not belfeve the people of Geor- gla have arrived at thls point, and. I shall do Them tho justics to suy thal I Lave not the slightest fear that they will allow themselves to be made parties to the wrouge which- some are oy plottisg sgelast mg. OB e wentinrg, 1 do one who has been a 4 life-long friend,” as you- thése from the South diseloss o “*panie” among* not doubt that when they know the trath, ne they will know ft, they will approve me with cheerfulness and unantinity; and, in tha mean- time, lga will not withdraw that confidence and trust witfiout which I shall be powerldss toserve cither them or myself. What hnve I done or maldl that “friends shoulil be alarmed and enemics cnuanrnp‘enl,” as muncrois letters eay! Without _znln‘: nto de- tails (as I will not be cowardly enough now to o)y 1 will state some facts, , Slnce the assembling of this session of Congress the Democratic members of the Ilousa have nietthree times In general caucus, I liave made-but one motion in general caucus, and that motlon was adopted wuanimousiy. There was not a dlssenting volce—not one, ) accompanfed that motlon Wwith a short spcech, the temper and spirit of which evers man in the caucus approved,and the main point of which was malinly agreed to by a large mn]orué'. Including, I bollove, every niember from the Southern or late Confederaty States, and certafuly every one preseot fromn Gcm'fl L 2. e have had frequent conferences, com- rolcd of alimited number of Democrats, from ive to twenty {n nconference, To scyeral of theso I liave Licen {nvited andattended. In thess conferences I have made_soveral motions and suggestions. Evcr& one Ihave yet made hns been adopted, and somctimes ~unankmously adopted. "On one or two_occaslona my suggess tions have been reeeived with s consideration that was pleasant and adopted with expressions thnt were flattering. 8 I8 my work. What am I charged with? 1. It{asafd that I have expressed distrust of Northern Democrats, and speeches to this effect ore filling the papers as if mado by me. Not single word published on this subject s truc— notone. 2 It I8 sald that mysclf and other Bouthern men hove lost falth'lu the election of Mr. Til- den, and have made, or are making, or are wille ing to make, some bargaln, or trade, or arrange- ment with Mr. Hayes. Al intimations of tnis kind are slmply manufactured—manufactured by sensational hirelings for mlv’lmllwl uso and benelit. Mr. Tilden and tho Domaoeratic parly are reduced to a sad hopo of success if the slily or designing Demoerats who affect to believe such charges are to be accepted as the only truated advisers of the party, It might be futeresting to give you an oxplan- atlon of how easily a public man here may bo misrepresented by newa cossips -and intervicw- ers,~and espeelally If ho be a public man who is worth misrcpresenting, but I havo not the time to do so now, A few words In conclusion. The political sit~ untion was nover o critical as now. Our con- stitutional system is on.a magazine of powder, and 10,000 fools, and sonte that are not fools, are striking matches all around it. None but cool men _and patriots .who lovs' country more than oflice can avert tho moat lNorribie civll war that ever disgraced nud de- stroyed uerty and humanity. And yet thero was nover lesa excuse for any war in the history of tho world, Buch o war, if it come, will be the culmination of human criine in the dubnrdly destruction of human rights by adisgraceful scramble for office. In the Jato election both Mr, Tilden and Mt Haycs recelved some votes, Wil it not be bet- ter'to have cither for Presfdent than to have o ruler who recoived no votesl le {s too stupid for argument who does not sco that the last alternatlye is Soulble. But whoever may or may not be made President by Returning Boards or ‘bayonets, one thing is certain: Mr. Tilden can not and will not be made President unless hie {s made so o fair, hionest count of the votesof the people. That count cait Lie nelther falr nor honest un- Tess i¢ be had under interpretations of the Con- stitution long ncccrlcd and by methods of pro- cedure long catablished, The party that now demnndsnew {nterpretations, or & now form or methiod of count will be a party {n rebellion and :ficug nlgn.lmt. the Constitution, the Unfon, and IC ptople. ) I l?rfl, therefore, in favor of a falr and honest conatitutional count of the votes of the people, T any laboring to sccurc that count, and when sccured I shall abldo itd result; ond so will every other man North and South who I8 uot willing to destroy his country, Iam. brave cnough to want peace, but not cowardly enough to aceept dishonor, It 1s zupleasant now to have to write letters, and, I confess, a little wounding to my pride to bo ealled on by friends to deny erguu 80 Fnlnly absurd, and so wickedly circulated. But will make an allowanco for o natural anxicty in thaso evil times. 1 nsk you, therofore, to give this letter to the PIM!’ and 1 respectfully ask every paper in eorgin to give it on Insertion, I uinke one rc:kuost of the people of Georgia, and that is that thoy will bellave nothing ns- cribed to me unless it appoara over my viwn sig- nature or in the ofllelial proceedings of Congross. 1 can geo no othier possible protection Irom mis- representations, Lelieve we can avert all the calamities I now so much dread. If wa can peaceably [naugurate the man elected by the people, wa shall lave o new und long lease of Constitutlonal Govern- ment. If we ean not, then our beautiful, glorl- ous, and conatitutional system will perish, and my friends will find e on the front line of the lnét fatal charge in its defense. Youre, very truly, Bess, .

Stevenson, Democratle member of Congress from this die- trict, to-day, and fna brict conversatlon with that gentleman learned his views on the na- tional problem. Mr. Btovonson, thongh a Domocrat, has always boen conservative and moderate In his views, and his- expression was in accordance. Mr. Btovenson sald that ho depreeated tho fdea and talk of war, aund, while he rcalized that the eituation fs a very dellcate one, calliog for the exer- clse of caroful and prudent statemanship, lie did not think there is any danger of blood- shed or a resort to arms. It would bo a mis- fortune to insugurate auy candidato by force or against the will of any part of the people. Ilo urged that tne guestion must be scttled by the proper tribupals, and their declsion respect~ ed and obeyed; but ha would not object to com- promise | satisfactory terms could be agreed upon.

Louls & Chlcago Raflroad, It was stated in Tne Tripuns o fow days ago that arrmngerents were on foot which would undoubtedly result in the annexation of this property to the Il nols Central Raflroad, and that Mr. Clarke had lelt on & tour of examination ovar the road, Information was reccived here yosterday that all the difticnlties batwegn the bondholders had been amfcably adjusted, snd the Court has or- dered the sale of the road to take place in two months, This haa to be aone pro forma, as the road was thrown futo bankruptey about a yeae ago on account of the diflereaces between the bondbolders, Mr. Alexander, tho Recelyer, has resizned hia position, and Mr. J. C. Clarke, who is now at New Orleans, has assumied the man- agement, Mr, Clarke will remaln in New Or- leans untll the rord Lina been sold, and the proper arrangements under tho now manage- ment perfected. Of course the property will he bid In by the Illinois Central, This has already beenarranged botween the bondholders. Tho Iilinoia Central Rallroad assumes all the indebt- educss, which amounts to $10,000,000, besldes the $0,000,000 which it loancd to the New Orlcans, §t.

The Actiug President and the Qhicf Enfilneer of tha Illinofa Central Rallroad made a thorough ex- amination of the property last summer, and they found that it will IYny the Interest on $10,000,000, If properly and cconomically mun- aged.

The road “from Chicaro to New Orleans is almost an air line, and will bo shorter thao nn{ of tho ronds leading to the Atlantic sesboards in tho East, The managera of the Illinofs Uentrul will per- feet such arrangements as to mako this liue tha most_desirable for foreign graln shipments, es- peclally during the winter months. No better man could have been selected to arrange for the unlon of the two roads and manage tho ling than Mr. J. C. Clarke, the new Vice-President of the Ilinols Ceantral, Heis onoof the most ex- ‘nerienced railrond managers in the country, and perfectly uuderstands all_the - transportation problems. He bins labored for yoars to bring about the result just obtained, and {t is his flrm hellef that much of the cxport busincss will hereafter tako Its way via tho new Southern trunk lines.
