Railroaw from Chicago to Savan
nah. —At the Agricultural Convention
which meets in Augusta in February, we
hope the advantages, or disadvantages, of
this great railroad project will be discussed.
There will be no more fitting body of citi
zens before whom this matter could be
brought than one eomposod of representa
tives of the farming interests of the State.
The line projected, starting as it does from
one of the great grain centres of the West,
is one of peculiar interest to the people of
this State, and particularly so to the farmers
of this part of the State.
By a railroad from Chicago grain aud ba
con can be laid down at our doors at a much
less cost than it can now be bought for in
Augusta. Corn, in portions of the West, is
now used as fuel, because at 17 cents a bush
el they find it cheaper than coal or wood;
while in Elbert county to-day holders de
mand from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel.
A certain class of speculators may be
found in this part of the State who, while
they do not openly oppose the construction
of railroads, act in such a manner as to re
tard a movement in behalf of such an enter
prise more than open or violent opposition
could do. We beg our'eitizens not to be in
fluenced by this class of people, but to stu
dy the interests of the whole Community
and act in accordance with their honest
judgment.
To the delegates selected to represent
this county in the Agricultural Convention,
we submit the proposition made in the
opening of this article. We hope they will
make it a point to bring the matter before
the convention, and by that means give it
sufficient prominence to induce the people
and press of the State to give the subject tbe
consideration which its magnitude deserves.

WHAT “CREDIT MOBILlEli” ME AES.
The Chicago Tribune, gives the following
definition of “Credit Mubilier:”
A correspondent asks the meaning of the
words “Credit Mubilier ” (Several Con
gressmen have asked the same quest! n.)
We presume he wishes to be informed con
cerning the original derivation and use ot
the term. We will endeavor to explain it.
The “Credit Fonder” has long been the
general title in France for associationr that
advance moucy on lauded or immovable se
curities. The “Credit Mubilier” was the
name given to a powerful corporation, oi
gauized in France in 1852, for advancing
money on movable property. The name
was adopted evidently with the purpose of
affording a ready definition of the object of
the association. The “Societe Generale de
Credit Mubilier” became a great and profit
able enterprise. It had special privileges
under its charter. It assisted materially
in the construction of railways and the pro
motion of mining schemes. Among other
enterprises in which it was notably interest
ed were the Government loan on account
of the Russian war, the Grand Central
Railway Company, and the Geueral Omni
bus Company, of Paris. At one time, it
advanced 250,000,000 francs, and at anoth
er time 375,000,000 francs, to the French
Government. Its business was so great in
1855 that it declared a dividend of 40 per
cent, on its capital. While it was manifest
ly the means of doing much good in Francij,
it eventually failed.
The introduction of the term “Credit
Foucier” and “Credit Mobilier” into Amer
ica are due to Mr. George Francis Train.
He established a “Credit Foncier” with
Omaha lands, which he hawked about the
country some years ago. He gave the
name ot‘“Credit Mobilier of America” to
corporation with universal privileges, which
was organized in Pennsylvania. It wap
appropriated by Messrs. Oakes Ames, I>4
rant& Cos., to serve as the party of th|
third part in the famous “triplicate agree
ment,” by which the managers of the Unioji
Pacific railroad let out the contract of build
ing the road to themselves, in payment hr
which they modestly took the road itself, a 1
the United States bonds, ail the Unitali
States lands, etc., at a profit of over I,o®
per cent., on an entirely fictitious capi'afl.
This is what “Credit Mobilier” means, id
the modern American and Congressional
use of the word. The title is not inappro
priate. The transaction was literally!v
Credit on Movables—the United States
Government furnishing the credit and the
money, and Messrs. Oakes Ames & Cos.
taking the movables—that is, the securities
and the profits.
LEGISLATURE.
The following bills have been introduced
in the Senate :
To provide a way for Justices of the
Peace to collect insolvent costs; to fix the
election of Representatives to Congress ou
the first Wednesday in October; to amend
the act prescribing the manner of incorpor
ating towns ; to secure a speedy trial in
criminal cases, and providing that where
a homicide is committed the Governor
shall send a Judge to try the case without
delay #
The following bills passed : To change
the constitution so as to require citizens to
be residents of the State twelve months be
fore voting ; to extend the provisions of the
bill to encourage woolen manufactories and
iron manufactories; to provide for the re
turn and payment of taxes on wild lands;
aud to amend the laws in reference to kill
ing stock.
In the House, to change the time of
the Legislature to the second Wednesday
in July; to repeal the act to protect people
in the sale of kerosene oil; to organize an
insurance department and providing for an
insurance Commissioner ; to regulate prac
tice in the Supreme Court; to encourage
direct trade by authorizing the Governor to
offer a subsidy of SIOU,OUU to a semi-wcek
ly line of steamers from Georgia to foreign
ports, and to establish a Buieau of Immi
gration, providing for the appointment of
one Commissioner from each Congressional
District and one from the State at targe,
two foreign Commissioners and one home
Commissioner, with his residence at Sa
vannah.
In the Senate, on the 20th, a bill came
up regulating the drawing of jurors in the
State. The bill provided for drawing ju
rors without discriminating against color. —
It was opposed by the Judiciary Committee.
Deveuux (colored! supported the bill main
taining that it. was an abridgment of the
rights of the colored citizens to exclude
them from juries. He desired no class leg
islation, but demanded that the laws of the
United States be heeded. Senator Reese
rSplied that Jury Commissioners were sworn
officers, and were not guilty of discrimina
ting against colored citizens. Because a
man was upright and intelligent was no
reason that he should not be excluded from
the jury room. Thousands of intelligent
white men had never served on the jury,
because they never had been needed, aud
the same was applicable to colored per
sons. The bill was lost by a vote of 30
to 4.
CANCER CURED IN Ell-TEEN DAYS.
There has transpired in this city within
the past two weeks one ot the most remark
able cases on record, being no more er lea*
than the extraction, root and branch, with
out pain, and by the simplest of meats,
of a large cancer from the left cheek of
Mr. C. A. Chase, freight agent at Kansas
|!ity, .if the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail
e outlets
mi. v— ''.discovered about six years ago,
a small red spot growing upon his left cheek
immediately below the eye. This red spot
increased in size, and soou developed one ot
those dangerous and most unpleasant boaily
afflictions —a cancer. For about two years
Mr. Chace has tried every medical advice
and treatment, and still the horrible protu
berances continued to grow and threatened
ultimately to eat the lace and cause him to
lose the use of one eye. A council of phy
sicians, each of them prominent iu his prac
tice, was held a tew weeks ago, when it was
proposed to cut the cancer from his face. —
This proposition, had it been carried out
would have endangered the life of the pa
tient, hence it was Dot adopted. About two
weeks ago Mr. Chace called upon Professor
Kellogg, proprietor of the Turkish Baths on
Walnut street, who boldly announced his
ability to cure the cancer iu fifteen days it
his directions were strictly complied with.—
Mr. Chace, glad to avail himself of any re
sources for getting rid of his growing cancer
consented, and at once went under l)r. Kel
logg’s treafmont.
lie was placed in the Turkish bath for
two hours each day lor seven days, with a
temperature of 17U, when it was found that
the cancer was dropping out root and fangs
entire. It first became red on one side and
then burst the skin. Mr Cha'e applied by
Professor Kellogg’s advice, a poultice, which
aided in drawing the cancer from the
cheek. During the fast week his family
who reside in West Kansas City, have
watched with great anxiety the cure being
effected. On Sunday the anxiety was so
great that notwithstanding the intense cold
weather, Mrs. Chase called at the baths to
inform Professor Kellogg that the cancer
was about to drop out. Yesterday morning
the patient himself brought the cancer in a
small vial to Professor Kellogg; and it had
fallen out clean, with all its roots and fangs
attached, leaving nothing except the ugly
indentation in the face where the cancer
had been He will now continue to take
the baths until the cheek is healed. The
cancer, as extracted, is about the size of a
hazlenut. It is preserved at the baths for
the inspection of the curious. —Kansas City
Times.
A CLEAR TRACK FOR MR, STEPHENS.
A meeting of the Senators, Representatives
and prominent citizens of the Eighth Con
gressional District was held at the Kimball
House this evening—Gen. Toombs in the

Stephens staud for Congress. The lollow
ing gentlemen were present, who signed the
request:
Senators —Eighteenth District—Cain ;
Nineteenth District—Heard; Twentieth
District —Gilmore; Twenty-ninth District
—Reese; and Thirtieth District—Hes

Mathews, B. T. Evans, Judge Hook, Judge

All the candidates have declined in favor
of Mr. Stephens, which leaves him a clear
walk over the track.

Tiie Fence Law. -The last Legislature
of Georgia passed an act under which the
farmers of any county who desire it, may
get rid of fencing planted lands. The act
is entitled “An act relating to fences aud
stock and for the protection of crops,” and
declares the boundary linos of every lot or
parcel of land a iawfuj fence, and provides
for the impounding of all roving stock wh icli
may trespass thereon, and the collection of
damages from its owners in each and every
county;after the following proceedings have
been had, whicii shall make the law opera
tive, in that county: Fifty freeholders
shall petition the Ordinary lor the benefit
of the act. Upon the receipt of the petition
the Ordinary is required to make the fact
known by po-iing or advertising for twenty
days. If, at the end of that time, a counter
petition—-igned by fifty freeholders, shall
be filed in his office, the Ordinary shall pro
ceed no further. But if no such counter
petition is filed, or it filed, is not by another
petition signed by twenty-five freeholders,
the Ordinary shall proceed to order an elec

July following, in which the question of
“Fence” or “No Fence” shall be submitted
to tlie lawful voters of the county, and if
the majority shall declare for “No Fence,”
