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: We have from time to time alluded to the purchase or lease of Southern roads by parties in close connection with the Pennsylvania Central.

' • 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. We have not the time or space to de- vot to comments, but must content ourselves, this week, with present ing a few fiicts, as given in a late Issue 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 State Treason-, lint others arc unac counted for. There are large numbers the dose, although the rise|n exchange acted as an offset to this. The advance in Ocean freights, by steamer, preven ted many shippers from buying freely later in the week.

If such combination is i.ot secured at a sacrifice of principle sir by .the use of money, it cannot be regarded ns corrupt, and is far less ob jectionable than the passive indifference which leaves the fate of elections and the destinies of the country, in the hands of unscrupulous intrigue. There ho* been a good deal said til Mint tl|e nomination of Senator Nor wood, as the result of one of these corrupt rings, and it has been said that Ihe trade,is to be consummated by tlic mtunihatioa of Gen.

It seemed, indeed, evident that a compact organization of the great lilies of Southern intercom munication, under a system controlled t»y one head, kept in ’full working or der, tltoruughly equipped, with regular and speedy passenger nnd freight trains running at the lowest payiug figures, must necessarily improve the condition of the whole South* the proceed* of the role of State bonds, j illustrate our position by relating an On the loth of February, last, credit j interesting conversation tlmt occurred toll 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 8,(Xto; This is a Democratic gain of R.flfVO./" J ” The Republicans gain 4,500 in Mas sachusetts. Last year tlic Democrats bad member* of tlie House; this year they have 50—a Democratic gain of !«. (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.

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.

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.
