great abuse, an d th c change m the jxis-
tai law now contemplated in the measure
before the Postal Committee of the House, is
for the purpose of securing the prepayment
or postage on all printed matter Bent tnrough
the mails.
An estimate made by the Postmaster Gen
eral shows that during last year there were
sent through the mans eight hundred mil
lions of copies ot iailv newspapers, six htxn-
ared millions of weeklies, ana one hundred
millions of monthlies and other publications.
A . ® Aggregate L one billion live hundred
millions copies, upon which the legal j >st-
«>gc collectable amounted to i2,292,307. Tne
Department, however, only got $985,940, so
that over a million and a quarter of money
was either not collectable or was lost in some
unexplained way. The printed matter, winch
thus returned less than a million do ars
weighed more than twenty times the aggre
gate letter mails transmitt d during the
year, although the latter p:«id nearly nine
teen and a half millions of dollars. The pre
payment of postage on newspapers,the Post
master General, thinks will ot oulv enable
the Government to collect all the‘printed
postage due, but will also d rease the bulk
of mails on leading routes, for carrying
which some railways are demanding largely
increased compensation.
The proposed change will impose heavy
pecuniary responsibility on publishers, and
will have the effect greatly to diminish the
circulation of newspapers. The law is un
just for the reason that it makes the pub
lisher pay in advance postage on the papers
sent to subscribers, while there is no securi
ty that the papers will be delivered. The
transmission of a newspaper through the
mails is for the benefit of the person receiv
ing it, and to him the law should look for
compensation. It is a narrow-minded and
unjust law that would make publishers re
sponsible, in advance, for postage on news
papers which it should be the duty of I'ost-
mastera to collect from those to whom they
are delivered. Such a law would virtually
make the publishers of the country sureties
to the Government,by paying in advance,for
its business transactions with the public at
large. Postege of all kinds should be col
lected od all mail matter when delivered,
and every individual should bo required to
pay his own postage.
the bonds rejected by the last Legislature
to be clearly “illegal and void,” the editors
still give it as their “opinion that if the
whole mulgus of illegal bonds can be re
tired and destroyed at the cost indicated
($1,300,000) it had better be done.” As there
is a difference of opinion between the par
ties interested—the dealers in the bogus
bonds of Bullock, Kimball A Co. and the
people who are called upon to redeem
them—the editors think the agents and
attorneys of Clews A Co. and the other
holders of the fraudulently issued securities
should have a hearing, and ask if under the
circumstances “the State of Georgia, by a
very moderate and reasonable concession-
can sweep away all this rubbish—satisfy all
these parties in interest—secure their con
fession of illegality and irregularity, and
stand justified before the whole world with

places it is little better than a dirty ditch,

There was a time, immediately after the
war, when dust was thrown in our t-yes to the
tune of the swelling chorus of “’loyalty.”
Now that the feeling which originated a
watchword used for all purposes bv the
adroit managers of the East has did out,
and they can no longer pray upon us through
sectional hates orjanin.osities, they will have
to faco us with facts. We take no more husks.
We are entitled to and must have our share
of the moneys expended for public purposes.
We occupy the granary and the cotton
fields of the world, and need cheap trans
portation. As the Kansas City Times says,
this can only be suppli d by water transpor
tation and the improvement of our Western
rivers, and the construction of a ship canal
connecting some of ourWestern and Southern
navigable rivers so as to reach the Atlantic
coast at some good port in ail seasons—
such a canal, for instance, as that now pro
posed to unite the waters of the Mississippi
Valley with the Altamaiiain Georgia, and by
it with the Atlantic. Now. if a sum anything
like that yearly appropriated for the improve
ment of Eastern harbors, and other public
improvements to facilitate Eastern com
merce, was appropriated to remove obstruc
tions and improve our Western rivers, it
would soon enable our people to secure
cheap transportation to Eastern markets
without consuming the profits of-the pro

with the great railroad lines would also

her own glassware to obtain a monopoly of
the trade in preserved fruits.
The above paragraph reminds us of an oc
currence which excited our curiosity several
years ago. A cart loaded with sand, which
had been taken from one of the sand bar s in
the river, was standing on the Bay. A Mas
sachusetts man, now a citizen of Savannah,
took up a handful of the sand which he sub
jected to a close inspection. Observing his
interest in the investigation, we asked him
what there was peculiar about the saud. He
replied that it contained a larger percentage
of glass than any *and ho had over seen, and
that in the vicinity of a glass factory it
would be very valuable. Tho sand was
the same that constitutes the bars
our river. The gentleman who bad
been connected with a glass manufactory in
New England, stated that sand of no better,
if as good quality, was transported from a
great distanco to supply the factories in
Massachusetts.
With an abundance of the best material at
hand for the manufacture of glass, and a
market for any quantity of the manufactured
article in our own and adjoining Southern
States, why would not a small amount of
capital and enterprise find profitable invest
ment in the establishment of glass works in
Savannah ?
The Atlantic and (iulf Hailroad HilL
At this writing the Legislature has taken
no action on the bill granting State aid to
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. It will come
up in time, however, for the action of tbat
body, pending which wo write this article.
W r e hold that the aforesaid bill is not local
or sectional in its character, but general.
General because its object is to save an
enormous sum of money already invested by
the State—money that belongs as much to
the people of the mountains, as the in
habitants of tho palmetto glades. It is not
for the Legislature to sav whether the State
Authorities were wise when they invested
the people’s money in the stock of tho At
lantic and Gulf Railroad,but it is the duty of
that body to protect the investment.
When the bill failed to become a law at the
last session of the Legislature, was it the
will of the tax-pavers of the State that it
passed in such a shape that Governor Smith
withheld his signature ? We think not. If
we are correctly informed, and we believe
we are, the lobbies of the Capital were tilled
with railroad Icings and representatives of
powerful railroad combinations antagonistic
to the Atlantic A Gulf, working night and
day to defeat tho bill.
The fight in tho last Legislature was bo-
tween giant railroad monopolies and the tax-
pavers of Georgia. Between rich bond
holders and hard-fisted tillers of the soil,
and by the “skin of their teeth” the monopo
lists defeated the people. If the Represen
tatives are true to themselves the bill will
pass this session. Many bills have been be
fore them. Indeed scores of members have
their pockets so full of local bills, tbat a per
petual session is not improbable, but the
till introduced by ilr. Hunter, of Brooks,
granting State aid to the Atlantic A Gulf
Railroad, is tin? most important measure
that will be brought be f ore the General As
sembly of Georgia.
Just think of it, members of the Legisla
ture! The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad is no
contemplated route, but the greatest public
work in Georgia, embracing three, hundred
and forty-three miles of cornpU ted road, and
valued at eleven millions of dollars. Y/lien
extended to Pollard, a distance, we believe,
of one hundred and sixty miles, it will be
come the great thoroughfare of travel from
the Gulf to the Atlantic, and its 3tock now,
which, owing to the stupidity of a former
Legislature, is soiling for a mere song, will
advance to par, and the one-third interest of
the State will become paying, and our hard
working tax-pavi s will glory in the de
crease of their excessive burthens. But wo
patiently await -our action, gentlemen
Legislators. —Ha i"bridge Democrat.
opinion, and if wo are not much mistaken a
very large majority of the honest tax payers
of Georgia disagree with the editors of tLo
Telegraph.
The agents of Clews A Co. and other
holders of the bogus bonds are in Atlanta,
engaged in “ working up ” their ease, and
are no doubt using very persuasive argu
ments in support of the claims of their
clients and the compromise which they
propose to make. The terms of this com
promise have been beforo stated in our col
umns. It is thus summed up by the Atlanta
Constitution :
“ To recapitulate and put the thing in a
nut shell, the bondholders, for a million and
a half of dollars in new bonds at ninety
cents—which the State has gotten no benefit
from, but which they paid out on the faith
of the State’s credit—agree to settle all our
bond complications, loan the State all the
money she wants, and ensure tho future
soundness of her credit and the marketa
bility of her bonds at and above ninety cents
on the dollar.”
This is about a fair statement of the case,
and amounts to a simple proposition that,
if the State will give to the holders of the
bonds—which the Legislature declares to be
fraudulent, and which the holders admit to
have been fraudulently issued and illegally
negotiated—one million and a half of dollars
in new bonas, at ninety cents on the dollar,
they, the holders, will surrender all the
wortlTess bonds held by them ; loan tho
State all the money she wants; speak a good
word for her credit in the money markets of
the world, and call us good natured, honest
people.
Now, the preservation of our good name
and credit is a thing much to be desired.
But it is very questionable whether the best
way to accomplish that object would bo to
take up all of Bullock, Kimball A Co.'s
fraudulent paper, even at a compromise of a
million and a half of dollars. For on;-, we
cannot understand how the payment of a
million and a half of dollars to Clews A Co.,
is going to help the State credit, or render
its future honest obligations any more relia
ble and worthy of confidence. Banks do not
ducers. The main reason why larming is
no longer a paying business in the West is
the exorbitant cost of transportation.
Remedy this and agricultural pursuits will
again bo prosperous and profitable. It is
time our Representatives, from the West and
the Southwest should look more closely to
our interests, and if needs be form an alii
ance offensive and defensive to secui
these respects a proper recognition of the
wants and necessities of these States, as
well as their equal rights to their lull pro
portion of national currency and public ap
propriations. We have no desire to culti
vate or develop soctioual feelings upon any
of these questions, but we do demand just
ice and a just apportionment. The im
provement of Western rivers, and every
other measure calculated to develop the
vast resources of the West, will also add to
the commercial prosperity of the East—as
much of our surplus mus't find a market in
the Eastern States and an outlet throu: '
Eastern ports.
But the great difficulty is, they seek to
confine us to toe old and wealthy cities and
ports of New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
to make us entirely dependent on them for
capital as well as market and outlet, and com
bine to defeat every measure looking toward
securing a shorter, cheaper . J more direct
route by water to the Atlantic afsome South
ern port. It is timo our Representatives
should give them to understand that the
great and growing West and Southwest will
remain no longer mere “hewers of wood and
drawers of wa: ” lor Eastern capitalists;
that their intern ts mu *t also be consulted
and respected, aud the wants of her millions
ot agriculturists, mecL nics aud manufac
turers provided for as a ell as those of the
East. Tim Stales west of the Allegheny Moun
tains are drained by the Ohio,Mississippi, Mis
souri, aud their tributa : res,«and the South
ern and Southwestern States identified with
them in interest, have the power. What is
needed is to combine and utilize it, and all
that is desired can be obtained.

A message from the Governor was re
ceived transmitting the report of the Board
of Commissioners, composed of Benjamin
Conley, D. A. Walker and George Hillyer,
whose duty it was to audit unliquidated de
mands against the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. Eleven hundred and twenty-one
claims, aggregating $854,781 23, were pro
sented and passed upon by the Board.
Upon these claims $330,218 14 were awarded
as just and $524,562 79 rejected. The above
does not include the liability of over $250,
000 against the State upon contracts made
by Bullocfc and Blodgett for new cars and
engines, which the Board settled with the
lessees without cost to State. The Board
also settled a number of personal injury
cases, in which damages were claimed,
amounting to $471,700 for $35,000. The
Board having completed its labors, the
Governor recommended an appropriation
for compensation, the following amounts
having been paid previously to the Com
missioners ; Conley, $2,500; Walker, $2,500

Butleb on Bou -well.—In Massachus tts
the New York World considers tho proof con
clusive that Bout\.ell and Butler are in sweet
accord. The former wants the United States
Senatorship, the latter is again a candidate
for the Governorship. Each can strengthen
the other. Butler has been bidding for the
support of the scattered parties of the State,
whose combined forces would be formidable.
Boutwell, as Senator, Massachusetts could
easily tolerate. She is evidently reluctant,
however, that Butler should be her Gover
nor. While she is glad to use him in Con
gress, and at the bottom of her Puritan
heart feels a pride in his unscrupulous
shrewdness, there is, underneath it all, a
knowledge that the man is dishonest; that
he was abhorrent, in his acts during the
war, to the civilizod world, and that, though
useful he makes his position in Congress
his opportunity. Butler knows this as well
as if it had been printed—as a great many
other unflattering things have been—in the
newspapers. We believe that if his inner
most thoughts were spoken, his dearest
wish is to be Gov/ rnor of Massachusetts, to
s jj 0W though he would not express it thus—
the Puritan element of the State that he is
stronger than its dislike. It would be more
this to him. It would be a condona-
maii mnral ru.nnl n l,;..
A Special Coubt for the Trial of Mur
derers.—To meet the necessity of the times,
it is proposed in New York to inaugurate a
new tribunal specially for tbe trial of mur
derers. The Journal of Commerce says
“The growth of this city and the increase of
crime consequent thereon, (not to mention
the increase due to other causes), make it
imperatively necessary to have another court
for the trial of murderers and other felons
exclusively. The mills of justice cannot
work off the grist fast enough. All the
courts are overtasked. The calendars are
invariably in arrears. Many a month, some
times a year, elapses before a murder case
can be reached.”
This speaks badly for the progress of
■‘moral ideas” in the great commercial me
tropolis. Certainly the preaching of Beecher
and the rest of the higher law apostles has
accomplished little for the moral regenera
tion of the people of Gotham.

The Corinth Xews is delighted with the
prospect of the speedy completion of the
direct road from that city to Savannah, Ga.
The road progresses slowly, it is true, but it
progresses—from Opelika, Alabama. St.
Louis proposes to aid this highway, and
monopolize the eommerical advantages re
sulting from its construction. Of course^
Memphis will do nothing.

The disclosures of the evidence before tho
Credit Mobilier Investigating Committee,
during the past week, have been fearfully
damaging to him, showing not onlylhat he
