At the same time it seem ed to be the general belief that the twenty- four hour method wou Id eventually be in augurated. The great Russian astronomer, Baron Struve, has suggested that it be adopted at the beginning of the next century, but it is difficult to see why, if the change is desirable, its benefits should be postponed to another generation. greatly enjoyed by tlie spectators.

Both clubs played well throughout, but the Amateur® not only played in better luck, but out-fielded the Engle and Phe nixs. Whitehurst pitched in splendid shape, striking out eighteen men. Smith also pitched well. The prettiest play of the game was a catch of a hot line ball by Nick Fogarty, who put it to second for a double play. Following is the offi cial score: RAGLR AND PHKNIX. R.

Editor Enquirer-Sun : We heard a gentle man repent yesterday the remark of one of our intelligent citizens which forms the caption of this article. The author of the remark is so inti mately connected with the business interests of this city and vith those of the Enquirer that it is a matter of surprise to see the leading editorial in your yesterday’s issue. We do not remember to have ever seen figures made so subservient to the interests of Atlanta and Montgomery. If talking up the through route from the north to New Orleans via Atlanta and Montgomery to thfe detriment of a railroad which was con structed by Columbus money is “talking up our town.” we fail to see it. You are, Mr. Editor, bad at figures. 1 in the beginner’s arithmetic is addition, add together 50. 150 and 175 and make it 370. This is bad good mathematics. Again, when one writes for the papers they should be accurate in detail. The distance from Lula to Athens is 39 miles, not 50. The maps all show the distance from Columbus to Pollard via Troy as 165 miles. If. then, we add together the figures correctly we have route via Atlanta and Montgomery to Pol lard as 354 miles: route via Athens and Columbus to Pollard 39x150x16-1—353, or one mile shorter than by Atlanta. But let the maps be wrong as to the distance from Troy to Pollard, aud assume you are correct in your figures as to the distance from Columbus to Pollard—viz : 175: it is then shown that tne route via Columbus is ten miles longer say twenty minutes in time , but remem ber it would be by Columbus and “our town.'’ It will make of some value a quarter of a mil lion investment the city has, which hangs like a millstone around us now.

Don’t we work the livelong day in the sunshine and in the rain from Christmas till Christmas? and don’t we live on bacon and coilards and wear homespun clothes and never have any money in our pockets, first simple ride while the merchant aud the banker aim the railroad man and the lawyer and the doctor wear fine clothes and smdfce cigars, j and jingle the silver in their pockets and live on the best of the land? Now, then, why shouldn’t we farmers strike against our boss. King Cotton, who don’t treat us right? We work for him and slave for him, and he pays us only eight cents a pound for all our work that we have to do for him, aud he knows and everybody knows that we can’t live at that rate. He’s an old tyrant; he’s mean. He don’t pay us euougli to buy the babies shoes. He knows we have to work poor land and pay for guano and buy meat and mules and wagons and farm tools, and he treats us worse than old Pharoah did the Jews, who had to gather their own straw to put in their brick. And I say let’s don’t stand it, fellow- farmers, but let’s strike and then see what the old tyrant will do about it. I see by the papers them fellows up nawth jest strike when the bosses don’t treat ’em right. Now let’s try our hand agin our old have in two roads, which they put their money boss, King Cotton, for I tell you he’s mor’n in to help the town.

As quainted with the feelings which have embar rassed the beaxd of directors in discussing exten sions of the Mobile and Girard railroad, we trust it is not arguments and figures like those in your last that have brought them to this conclusion as regards the Elba extension.

If we farmers will just strike on king*cotton we’ll stop more wheels than the railroad fellers did up north, and they can't starve us out while we are at it, neither, for haint we been workiu’ for nothin’ and payin’ for our own rations to boot, that’s just j the 3ize of it. My old woman—that’s Betsy, I you know, says as long as the hens lays eggs, and the cows give milk, and the grass grows, we can live and snap our lingers^, m their faces if we’ll just stop feedin’ the'i tarnal niggers. She says if it wan’t for the niggers wede think every rock had turned to a fryin’ sized chicken, and every | stump to a fat skoat, and every bush to a j heifer yearlin* and the hul land would flow with milk and honey, and she says we can send all the niggers to heaven, for that’s whar they are gwine any how when they die, judging by the amount of religion they’ve got since the war. Now, then, let’s all hands let ’em knew that next year cotten is goin’ to be cotten, for we’ve declared our freedom, and we are goin’ to have milk, and honey, and beeves, and shoats, and chickens, and ducks, and turkeys, and hoecake, and every good thing under the sun except the nigger and cotten. Everybody has been growin’ fat but the farmer; everybody has been gettin’ benefit from the nigger and cotton but the farmer. The warehouses, and the stores, and the railroads, and the steamboats, and the banks, and the facto ries, and the shops, have been kept agoin’ by the nigger and the cotten, and the farmer has been payin’ for the music. Now, let’s make a big strike on King Cot ton. and see who’ll then furnish the music ; and when they talk about cotton at eight cents a pound, on poor land, we’ll just eat fried chicken and johnnycake and whistle Yankee Doodle.

Notes From \anro\. Enquirer-.* un : We are having too much rain. It is impossible for the farmers to clean their crops with the quantity of rain we arc having. Old farmers say it is tlu» most difficult year to cultivate a crop they ever saw. Corn and cotton, | where there is not too much grass, is growing I finely. The peach crop will be a failure in this part of the country. They are rotting on the i trees before they are near grown. Many j of the trees have shed the last j peach off. We think the blackberry crop should be gathered and dried to supply the place of tlu* peach crop. There is an abundant crop of black- j berries. They can also be used to make jam, and be used in the place of preserves. There is a great demand for sweet potato vines. Many that were bedded rotted afterward, leaving a k ood many farmers without plants. The potato crop will be a short crop th is year.

Now the brew ers have sued the railway com pany for re fusing to do its duty as a common carrier. The suit sets up that the Iowa statute is unconstitutional and void, because it con flicts with the constitution of the United States, but as the Chicago and Northwest ern railway company did not make the Iowa statute, but is only complying with ' its requirements, it would seem to be the wrong party to sue.
