The Transfer ef Stock of Uie
Gulf Road to tbe S. W. Rail-
rood Company.
We are unwilling to believe that
the Central Railroad Company will
snaeeed in their extraordinary efforts
to secure the control of the Atlantic
a»4Gulf Railroad. It surprises us
not a little, however, that the City
Council of Savannah should have
eonsonted, under the circumstances,
■t matters not what the immediate
benefits, in a redaction of taxation,
might act rae therefrom,to the city, to
e a party to a transaction which
nudcessiul, most necessarily cast
odium upon the President and lb*
—•■*•* — • *1 ■ r-alf-Tfonri Tyhn.hnJft
ao faithfully, seriously, and efficiently
done their whole duty to the Road,
t6 the efty of Savannah and the
Slate’s interest. And not only would
these enterprising and public-spirited
men be sacrificed, but the Gulf Road
itself would bo seriously injured and
its stockholders defrauded. Should
tbe Golf Road be surrendered to the
control of Wudley «nd his grasping
board, its farther extection, or the
building of connecting branches that
might interfere with the interests of
the S- W. or C. Roads would be for
bidden; and, hettce, the great pur
pose of the State to afford a highway
to our people, untrammelled and un
restricted by other competing roads,
would be effectually defeated. The
oottOo which those roads permitted
to go to Apalachicola and New Or
leans, when they hod the power to
prevent it, will again resume its
wonted course. The P. & G. R. would
be extended to the Chattahoochee,
«nd Bainbridge thereby permanently
retardedits growth, if not hope
lessly mined. In addition to these in
evitable results, a monopoly would be
established of such proportions and of
snch limitless power as to defy all ef-
erts of the people of the State and
of the ciij of Savannah to rescue
themselves from its ruinous demands.
Our impoverished fellow-citizens
would be subjected to burthens in
freight and passage they now little
dream of as possible.
Tbe manifest duty of the stock
holders of the Golf Road is to sec
that this great iniquity is prevented,
by casting their votes, at the Febru
ary meeting, for Directors who are
not in sympathy with this movement
to consolidate the railroad interests
’ of Georgia, and thereby destroy all
competition in.railroad freights.
Ool. Joint Screven and his board
are eminently entitled to a re-elec
tion; and by their re-election thfe road
will be continued in the control of its
ftywida, and the interests of the peo
ple protected against a justly dread-
to contend in their efforts to insure a
permanent establishment. AU the
schools which have been opened in
this city have been^ fcbort lived, al
though, as a general thing, vwy pop-
alar and liberally patronized at their
begining. The moot trivial comjplainta,
of which parents should have been
ashamed, have been indulged by some
against the teacher, after the first
year; and when ever the enrrent of
popular favor has been disturbed, it
has required but a short timte to ren
der a change of teachers necessary,
greatly to the injury of our school
interests, and tbe reputation of our
city as affording educational facilities.
Change, change, change—in teach
ers, in books, in system of instruction,
in discipline and in every thing, has
been the cry; and the result has been
that but few, if any, of our giris and
boys have been thoroughly and prop
erly educated. A smattering, of the
various studies taught, is about all
Our children have acquired before
they are sent off to college to expose
the poverty of onr city in facilities of
instruction. Bnt shall this state of
things never have an end ? Do we
still lay tbe flattering delusion to our
souls that a teacher can possibly con
form to the whims and wishes of all
his patrens? Have not the evils we
have suffered—or that our children
have endured, through our everlast
ing fault-finding—tauglit us a whole
some lesson—one from which we
will be profited in the future ? We
hope so; and it pleases ns to see
that Professor Allen has not only
bnilt him a commodious and well
arranged Academy, sufficiently large
to accommodate two or three hun
dred pupils, but has erected a beau
tiful and tasty dwelling adjoining,
where he will soon be in circum
stances to board a number cf the
children of his distant patrons. We
want him to go ahead. He is fully
capable for the task of establishing
a first class Institute for Boys aDd
Girls, and we hope our people are
becoming tired of fault-finding, and
will consent to give him their cordial
and unflagging support He may
rely upon us I We want a school—
a permanent establishment, one
upon which our people can rely with
confidence; and Professor Allen is
suited by nature, experience, en
lightened judgment and scholarly
attainments to master the situation^
and build up an institution that will
be an honor to Bainbridge and a
do not"in these remarks, wish to be
understood as seeking to detract
from the merits of any other school
that is now or may be hereafter
established in our midst. We would
promote them all, if we could. The
Allen Institute is a school of a high
grade, and, as such, comes in conflict
with no other in this cily or section
of the Suite.
The Ookechek Trouble.—We learn
from the Savannah papers, of the 5th
inst., that the negro in3nrreetion be
tween the Ogeecbee rivers bns been
quieted without the loss of life, seven
teen of the leaden having surrendered
themselves to the civil authorities, and
are now in jail awaiting their trial.

The Most Important Lawsuit
Ever Brought in Georgia.
THE GREAT A. * Q. R. R. STOCK OPEEATIOn
ENJOINED.
Yesterday the Horn Carlton B. Cole,
Judge of the Superior Court of the Ma
con Circuit, at the suit of certain stock
holders of the Southwestern Railroad,
through their attorneys, the Messrs
Niibets & Jackson and Mesqp Whittle
Gustin, granted a bill of Injunction
against the Southwestern Railroad
Company and the Central Railroad and
Banking Company, forbidding the pur
chase by said companies of stock in the
Atlantic & Gulf Railroad Company re
cently transferred to them, by the city
of Savannah, and restraining said com
panies from all attempts to control,
through said stock, the operations of
the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, and the
commercial and business interests of Cen
tral, Southern and Western Georgia, to
be affected and controlled by tbe use of
said stocks in tbe hands of the said com
panies.

Our Educational Interests.
We deem it a fitting occasion, in
of the resumption of the exer-
cuee df the Allen Institute, of this
aty, cn Ubnday next, to make a few
suggestions in itgard to the educa-
tional interests of this community.
We have observed, with close atten
tion, during the last thirteen years
the status of oar schools, and the
jgffrinfriaawith trhieh they bare had
fought in the court below, on & motion
to dissolve, and then, go which way the
cause may, appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court of the State. It is,
probably, in respect to its scope and
general consequences, tbe most impor
tant suit ever brought in Geoigia, and
in the course of the trial, will array the
best legal and forensic talent in the
State. 1 '
The Injunction restrains tbe purchase
in question, on the grounds of a viola
tion of the franchises of these compa
nies, and of general public utility and
convenience. In a word, we under
stand that the bill (which we have not
seen) lakes almost identical ground with
the long editorial article in the Tele,
graph, about a fortnight ago, ia which
we expressed the opinion that combina
tions of capital and credit, resulting from
these franchises, could not lawfully be
wielded so as to obstruct public im
provement, and interfere with the pub
lic convenience, and the legitimate de-
vclopement of trade.
' The matter is iu the bands of the
courts—there we shall leave it, with the
remark that we ardently desire the pros
perity of all our railroads; but, at the
same time, believe it to be indispensable
public policy that they should be
restrained alike from cxoi bitant and un
equal taxation of the public, and from
cutting each others’ throats by an over
grasping and unnatural competition
If our courts shall sustain the grounds
taken by this bill, Georgia will lead off
in establishing a wise and liberal con
struction of railway franchises, which
forbids what may be witnessed in other
States—such gigantic combinations of
railway influence as are popularly be
lieved to control the politics, as well as
finances of those States—combinations,

C. Railroad Report.—The late
port of the President and Directors of
tbe Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany, of Georgia, has been received by ns,
but too late to receive farther attention
this week. In oar next issue we propose
to notice some of its statements in re
gard to the falling off in the receipts of
the road, and its unjustifiable attack
upon what it terms “competing roods,”
alluding, of course, to the A. <£ G. Road
which, at present, is its only competitor.
Buggies and Carriages.—The bug
gy nnd carriage manufactory of
Messrs. McKee & Bennett, corner of
West Broad and Bay Streets, Savan
nah , was highly commended to ns on
onr late visit to that city ; and person
al observation satisfied us that tbe
establishment was one of the first in
the State, and worthy the patronage
of the public. The proprietors are
yonng men, bom and reared on Geor
gia soil, and indentified with onr
people both in feeling and interest,
and, withal, true to their native State
in these sonl-trying times. See their
advertisement in an other column.
