about a certain myth, styled “the
Pennsylvania Central," which silently
but effectively baa been reaching out its '
iron arms towards Georgia, and through
Georgia to the Southwest, and puzzled
to discover the aim and design of this
mystic power. The following authori
tative exposition, contained in a leader
of the Baltimore Gazette, of the 17th
inski lifts the veil, disclosing the real
actors, their purposes, and some of
their plans. This combination displayed
a powerful combination of capital and
energy, whose purpose is to perfect a
compact and well organized Southern
Central Railway System, to be
getically worked in the commercial in
terests of Baltimore. It has been defi
nitely announced that through connec
tions to the city of Augusta will be
made on the 10th proximo:

Account of Hoary Clews & Co.
The account which this firm has
presented against the State of Georgia,
is a fearful one, a bare inspection of
which is enough to make an honest
man sick at heart.

of the Atlanta fWifuf/wi:
His claim aguiust the State amounts
to over $1,000,000. Among the items
are numerous drafts drawn by Bollock
for large sums of money, the proceeds
of some of which have come into the

counted for. There are large numbers

acted as an offset to this. The advance

termine just where legitimate party

i.ot secured at a sacrifice of principle

The Elections.
We’gather from onr exchanges the
folhfwihg results of recent elections:
Governor Parker, of New Jersey,
(Democrat) lias a majority of 5,000.—
The Republican majority last year was

(tern country, and
lead, consequently, to the development
of this, its natural and must important
market.
Mr. Walters has lieen joined in this
enterprise bv a n uni bet V*’ tlie leading
capitalists of Baltimore, Pennsylvania
and Liverpool. Over seven millions
dollars have already been expended in
actual cash outlay, and up to the pres
ent time, by purchase of stock, a con
trolling majority in a number of most
important lines of railroad, comprising
in all 1,425 miles, has been secured.—
Besides this, control has been obtained,
under lease, of 363 miles additional.
These combinations already comprise
complete lines from
Richmond, via Danville and Charlotte,
to Atlanta;
Richmond, via Weldon and Wilming
ton, to Charleston and Augusta; and
from
Atlanta, via Knoxville to Bristol, from
which a connection will, in all prob
ability, be made witk Danville by
General Flournoy’s road, which will
be constructed.
Additional roads have been built,
and all are, or are being put, in first
class working order and thoroughly
equipped.
It will thus be seen that this new
company now controls both tlie main
lines south from Richmond, the North
Carolina roods, the chief roads of South
Carolina, two main roads in Georgia,
and tlie important lines of East Ten
nessee. These combined Southern lines
will have direct communication north
of Richmond with Washington, Balti
more, Philadelphia and New York,
both through tlie preaent lines and by
others to be built iu friendly alliance
with the new organization.
The programmee will lie complete
within two yean, when facilities for
freight traffic and passenger communi
cation, will be afforded tlie entire South
that will not only lie simply unrivalled,
but cannot’be provided by an compet
ing iutcrast, at less than double the
outluy ot this Company, as control of
these roads have been ’obtained at an
average cost of about fifty cents in the
dollar on tlie original cost in times of
gold currency nnd cheap labor. Balti
more will have complete communica
tion with the whole South by lines of
railroads 200 miles nearer than New
York. Atlanta will be placed in direct
communication with this city by a route
100 niiio* shorter than any' existing
one, aud passenger trains will traverse
the entire distance, 650 miles, in less
is given for the sale of 500 gold bonds
of $1000 each at 87j, equal to 437,-
500; and on the 8th of September of
1150 bonds of 81000 each at 86$, to
$994 750, in all 61,432,250 for”the
sale of $1,650,000 of bonds.
The charge for commissions alone is
$93,749 45, and for advertising 814,-
320. These commissions and adver
tising charges are all for his efforts to
sell bonds which have been issued by
Gov. Bullock. The firm have a se
parate account for transactions connect
ed with the old bonds of the State, re
deeming such os were due, paying in
terest, etc., amounting in all to over
6300,000; and his transetions iu con
nection with new bonds to over $700,-
000.
There are numerous items of Express
charger—indicating that Clew*, & Co.
paid the Express Company for deliv
ering to them State bonds sent for
redemption, which, if true, is a fraud
upon the people of Georgia.
There is something suspicious on the
face of this statement of bonds sold.—
A gentleman of this city tried to sell
some of Bullock’s gold bonds in New
York, last spring, and could not get
an offer of more than fifty cents on the
dollar. Finally, Mr. Clews gave him
eighty-five, rather than allow them to
be thrust upon the market for just
what they would bring. We doubt if
Clews & Co. have made a bona fide
sale of a angle bond; for it is belived
that the Bullock bonds have next to no
negotiable value in New York. It is
particularly believed that no one could
be found on the 8th of September last
who would have given 86$ for the near
bonds which Bullock and Company
have been trying so hard to sell.

Trade Movements in New York.
A late press dispatch from New York
says the cotton movement as coir,pared
with last week shows a slight decrease
in receipts and considerable increase in
exports. The movement for the ex
pired portion of the cotton year, how
ever, shows a largo tolling olf both in
receipts and exports as compared with
the corresponding period of last season.
Receipts from all ports for the week
101,494 bales, agaiust 105/100 bales
last week; 96,708 the previous week;
93,969 for three weeks since. Total
receipts since Septemer 666,608 bales,
against 799,329 bales for the corre
sponding period tbe previous year,
showing a decrease of 32,721. Ex
ports from all ports for the week 59,-

year. Total exports for expired por
tion ot cotton year 289,430 against
369,968 same last year. Stock at all

The discussion of the Chinese question
in that city is one of daily and hourly
occurrence, and in almost every part
of the city at the same time Mr.
Boggs owns eleven leagues of laud;
raises large crop* of grain, fruit aud
grapes, which require fifty bands to do
the work. In 1867 he had about forty
families living in various small houses
on his ranch, numbering about fifty
laboring men, making a population of
about 250 persous. All of these per
sons were living off the products of his
ranch. The labor of the men cost him
6600 per annum each, or about that.
Hearing a conversation on the subject
of Chinese labor, and being appealed
to for bis decision, he told what we have
stated; and, said he; “ You see the
expense of my men was about $30,000
per annum, but they kept my ranch in
fine order.
I sold them everything they wanted
to cat and drink, which amounted to
over $20,000, and paid them about
$200 apiece, or $10,000 in money, with
which they bought their clothes, school
books and everything else that could
not be bought on the ranch. They
had a good school and nice little church
kerything seemed to be happiness
among them, and I did very well. I
thought I could make more by having
cheaper labor, so the next year I hired
Chinamen at $40 a month, and hod
fifty of them, amounting to $20,000
per annum, or $10,000 less than the
white men. They camo on with their
tents, clothes, rice and other articles of
food, and went to work. They were
docile and industrious—I had no trou
ble with them. They did just what the
white men did, and just as well. They
bought of mo about $1,000 worth of
provision*, and I paid them $19,000 iu
gold. I asked them what they would
do with their money. “Send it to
China,” was the answer. At the end
of the year, the families living on the
ranch were gone. The little houses
were vacant, the scho,»-ho>ise and
church were no use, and the trees and
shrubbery they had planted died out
for want of care. The cabbages, po
tatoes, meat, fruit and everything that
two hundred and fifty people would use,
was wasted, or I bad it on hand with
out any one to consume it. I felt sad

Financial Condition of South
Carolina.—A special dispatch to the
Charleston A’etcs from Columbia says:
The State is perfectly bankrupt, and
admit of one dollar on the State
Treasury today was dishonored. Judg
es, school teachers and other State
appointees are clamoring for payment,
and selling their warrants at ten and
fifteen per ceiit discount The worst
feature of the situation is the absence
of financial officers of tlie State and the
studious suppression of facts by those
who remain. The largest taxpayers
and the. leading bankers of thi* city
arc who ly ignorant of the condition of
the t*tnto finance*, anti ‘the securities
of the Ktute are offered at ridiculously
low figure.-, and no taker*. The inter
est of the State bonds due October 1
has not yet been paid, and the bankers
of this city, at their meeting to-day,
agreed to nave no further dealings in
State securities.”
