Senator Bayard, the •li.stiugiiished
Delaware U. S. Senator, made a
speech last week in his State to hi*
country friends which every farmer
should heed. In it lie encouraged tin-
farmer to take a leading hand in pub
lic affairs. This comes with exceed
ing grace from one who has himself
been trained as a lawyer and reached
celebrity in the profession before In
acquired political reputation. The
Senator alludes to the feeling as a
growing one. It goes in communion
with the knowledge that lawyers have
been too numerous and too potential
in our legislation. In the Delaware
Legislature it is not common to find
any lawyer in either Senate or House,
anil there has very seldom been more
than one in every session. Here in
Georgia we are overrun with them
and it seeenis that they would em
brace all the emoluments of power.
Passing from this branch of the
subject, and having joined his voice
to the general suggestion that farm
ers should come to the front, Ihe Sen
ator considered for a moment tin
characteristics of country and < ily
life in their influenc e upon Ihe lego-
tor’s mind. The country encourage-
breadth ami depth of thought. Tin
city compels sharpness and brilliancy
It is a natural consequence in eaeli
case. The shepherd watching hi*
Bocks, the plowman slowly tiiruiup
his furrow, the woodsman swinging
his axe in the forest, has abundant
leisure for thought, and in the silt-in
of nature may gather her subtlest and
most suggestive expressions. Prom

the axe has no opportunity to mens
urn his thought with another w in

the plowman, fatigued with the day’
toil, goes home to rest, anil not to an
exchange of wits or a comparison of
opinions. Ilis conclusions are ab
stractly reasoned out, ami it may lie
that some material fact had been 1111
known In him before he entered on
his train of reasoning. Bin his great
advantage is in having time to relic
at all. The rush of city life gives
man little time for abstract logic.
Tbe current flows too swiftly- for him
to indulge in calm meditation. A
Mr. Bay ard remarks, his faciiltie
sharpened and luii-nished by Ihe con
tact with the crowds around him,

find leisure for the elaborate study of
any question, nor the calm process

ARLINGTON
is quite a lively business place just
now. We have five first-class dry
goods emporiums, viz: Messrs Bawl;
& Co, Webb & Hightower, Harris,
Muse & Co, W. O. Butler A Co, and
A. W. Turner, all of whom are active
business men, receiving goods almost
daily by.tlie car load, and you may
imagine from that how rapidly they
are disposed of. Besides Ihe above
named f rut Arlington has three first
class ilruj^stores, and two drinking
saloons. ’-The drugs are kept ami
sold hv Drs. Mcl-emi, Kwell and But
ler. The last named physician is u
ery promising young man, mul to
say the least of him, the time is not
far distant ere he will he noted as a
great “medicine man.” It would be
useless to say anything ill the olher
DofchmP Behalf, as they are old phy
sicians, been practicing here for
ears, consequently they ure too well
■known. Should a person want any-
thing warmer than coffee, those two
affable gents, Messrs. Saxon and
llatnel will he pleased to serve them
at uiiy time.
OUR HOTEL.
We have one of as good or the best
hotels in the State, ill the same size
town, presided over by one of the
most domestic, pleasaut and agreea
ble ladies I ever knew. Fifteeu reg
ular boarders are domiciled iu the
holstelrie, besides a good deal of trim*
sient custom is always finding it
way there.
RESTAURANT.
We also have a restaurant, where
meals can lie had at any time of day
or night A. P. Duke, the proprietor
of same, tiiiITkeep constantly on hand,
fresh fish, oysters, etc, that will he
served up in a palatable style.
ILLXESS'OF COI.. PEPPER.
I regret to announce the illness of
our depot agent, Col F. L. Pepper,
and hope he will soon recover. Thai
clever assistant, Boss Bechome, is go
ing right ahead with the business, ami
would, from the rapidity in which he
transacts business, remind you of a
man with at least half a dozen heads
and arms inetekd of one.
COTTON.
Arlington has up to this date re
ceived l,6d0 Dales of cotton, and still
tbe fleecy staple continues to pour in,
from fifty to one hundred bales daily
Some of the merchants speak of haul
ing cotton to Howard’s landing on
the Chattahoochee river, on account
of it not being carried off fast enough
by the railroad, and ship via Savan
nah steamer to New York, &c. I hope
we will he furnished with an extra
train in order to prevent them
from so doing.
GOOD FARMING.
I take pleasure jn making mention
of the farming exploits of an old,
one-legged Confederate .soldier, Mr.
W. 11. Forrester, lie has made this
year on aoneoxfarm, two hundred
ami fifty bushels of,potatoes; two
hundred bushels ot corn, peas, siigar
canc etc., iu proportion, 'and one of
the prettiest hales of rotton I have
seen. It was sold to W. O. Butler &
Co., as low as the present prices are,
for 10J* cents in money. It will lie
on exhibition at Ihe Albany Fair.—
lie came home from the war without
a home, money or supplies, minus a
leg, and now has a comfortable little
home, and is out of debt and a year's
supplies ahead. That goes to show
plaiuly what contentment, economy,
energy and perseverance will iieeoiu-
plish. Hoping to get up something
more newsy next time, I am, yours,

Albany, Ga., Orl. :j, 1878.
Dear Sir :—I address this letter
to yon im account of your public po
sitiou as the representative-uni ad
ininistrator of tin- Pool contracts en
tered into by the several railroads
and steamship lines constituting
your association, and my purpose if
lo expose the illegal and unjust char;
after of the combination an.I its ac
tion.
1 would refer you lo the Conslilu
tion. Article 4, Section 2. and cape
chilly to tin* fourth paragraph of that
section, which, after prohibiting the
General Assembly from iintliiirizin
any c*or|K>ration to liny shares 11
stock iu any oilier eorpnralion, “or
to make any contract or agreement
with any such corporation, which
may have the effect, or Im* intended
to have the effect, to defeat or lessen
amiptftitiou," etc., declares iu positive
and absolute terms, that “nil sueh
nmtraels anil agrrrnirnls shall In
illegal anil mid.''
Ill defiance mid contempt of this
supreme law ol the State your asso-
liation of railroad iair|Kir:itioiis liavi
maintained, .aid you, ns general com
missioner,have executed and enforce*
Pool contracts which were intended
defeat coni|ielitinii, and actually
have defeated competition, over sinci
tlie day of the adoption of tin* Con
stitution to the present lime, with
slight, exceptions during the interval
The effect of these 1’isd conlrnetf
lias lieen a series of arbitrary and il
legal impositions iu the form of line
qua! and generally exlmrliitniit
freight tariffs and unjust disi-rimina
lions, which have cost t he people of
Georgia over and above reasonable
rales many times more Ilian the
entire taxes imposed hv the State for
the administration of the govern incut
Not long since I called your alien
tion to tlie fuel, that whilst you were
carrying cotton for Macon over till
Macon and Brunswisk rail road ISf
miles, and by Mallory’s line lo New
York at 75 cents per 10(1 lbs, you
were charging $1.15 per 100
lhs. over tlie Brunswick and Albany
railroad 170 miles, aud by Mallory’s
line In New York, making a diserin -
illation against Albany ami the plan'
1]' Southwestern Georgia of ID
•elds per 100 lhs., or $2 per hale. or.
nil unjust and arbitrary tax of fitly
ixly thousand dollars on Ihatou
irtiele. Tlie difference, I learn, ha
been recently reduced to :t.l cent
per 100 |Miiiuds, and if the presen'
lie from Macon to New York—S
[‘Ills per 100 Ilis.—is a reasonabt
rate, then your overcharge, or art*
vary and unjust taxation on Ditto
for the benefit of the railroads tci
minuting at Albany, would he soin
thirty five to forty thousand dollar
I tel* an nil in.
I also called your attention to th
fact that the Southwestern railroa*
had been, last, season, charging ill'
cents per 100 lhs. on cotton fron
Leesburg to Albany, a distance 0!
about leu utiles, whilst potion wa-
carried from the same point lo Alltel
icus, Ihirly-six miles, niiuiiiuillv, a
ilO cents per 100 Ilis., lint really, I*
reliales, at 50 els. per hale. I learn
that, now, the rate on cotton fron
Leesburg to Albany is 20 cents pe
100 ponnda, and that tlie rate frou
the same point to Americas is main
tained, iiy indirect rebates throngl
the merchants at 50 cents per hale.
Another unjust diserimiiinliiu
against qs is shown by tlie fact tin.
the rate on cotton Iroiu Macon It
Brunswick, ISO miles, is 40 cents pci
100 lbs , whilst from Albany to Bruns
wick, 170 miles, tbe rale is 70 cent
per 100 Ills. If the rate from Maeoi
to Brunswick is a rcasouab e rail
tlieu our planters are unjustly taxes
more than one dollar and fifty ceuli
on each bale of eotton shipped to tin
same point.
I mention these things to show
something of the character mul e .
tent of tlie authority which is exei
eised by the a raih'oud corporations 01
the State who seem to defy all law
aud all restraints upon their iiupen
ous will. They have clothed them
selves with a taxing power over tbi
productions and consumptions of tin
people, though the instrumentality
of tlieir illegal combinations, theii
capital aud employees, which, if ex
ercised by tbe legislature, would ere
ate a revolution, or if exercised bx
any despot iu Europe would cost him
his head.
The Constitution, Article 4, Sec
tion 2, makes it the duty of the Gen
eral Assembly “to pass laws from
time to time hi regulate freight and
passenger tariffs, to prohibit unjust
discriminations 011 the various rail
roads in this State and to prohibit
said roads from charging other than
just and reasonable rates aud enforce
the same by adequate penalties."—
And paragraph 2 of the same Sec
tion provides that “the exercise ol
the police power of the Stale shall
never be abridged nor so construed
as to permit corporations to conduct
their business iu .aieh maiiuer as to
infringe the equal rights of individu-
nals or the geueral well heiug of the
State.”
Though the people of Georgia may
not hope for a voluntary surrender
of the usurped power of the corpora
tion over whose illegal contracts yon
preside, they will demand of the rep
resentatives who are soon lo meet in
General Assembly that they shall
enforce IheCoiistilutiiiu in letter and
spirit.
Notwithstanding wlrnt 1 have here
said, I am a friend to railroads.—
They are an indespensible necessity
to I lie well being of tlie State. My
acts will verify my words. I am also
a personal friend to every railroad
manager with whom I am acquainted
in the State, including yourself.—
They are gentlemen in whom I have
great confidence in all things out
side of their corporate capacity. And
even in that capacity I believe that
though they may be aware that Ibex
are acting in coiitliet with the law,
they may think that the la-vis wrong
and that they are acting in accord
with abstract, justice. Bui such views
arerinteunlile and if nuiversully in-led
upon would render the weak the vic
tims of the strong. Justiee accord
ing to law, rigidly and impartinlL
enforced, is the only sure protect ion
of every member of the community,
anil railroad corporations, howuver
strong, cannot long resist its dr
uinmls with impunity.
In conclusion, 1 would like to
know how it is that Messrs. Ftewel
leu, Joues and Lofton, Directors of
the Macon & Brunswick railroad,
have made the Stale violate her own
Constitution by putting this Stale
road into the l’onl?

Address from Chairman Lockett
A GOOD PAPER.
There I icing at tins time noean
delate in the field to oppoaethe reg
ular nominee of the Democratic par
ty, tlie present status of affairs may
lull the voters of the District into :
premature inaction and foeling o
security, which may prove disas
trims to the interests of the perty.-
f he plans and purposes of onr oppr
nenls, the lenders of the llepnblicm
party, have not yet been promnlgat
ed. We know enough however, t>
warrant the assurance, that they ar
still active and vigilant, and oeglec -
no opportnnity to roose the dormau
hopes, aud improve the waning foi
times of their party. It behoove
the Democracy of the District t*
“intermit no watch against a wakefn
foe.” Inaction and indifference tun
prove as fatal tut disaffection and in
lepemlentism. The redemption o
the District so signally effected foii
years ago, should uot now be imperil
■■d by mipineuesa or ueglect. Let it b
remembered, that though the Repnb
lican party iu the District has beei
beaten, their organization is still iu
tael, aud formidable, aud their dis
cipliue, as oL-cassiou requires, vigor
ous amt exacting. The disaffectioi
brought alsnit by persoual ambition
-tiding with Imlepeudeutism au*
so-called Greeubackism, has already
inspired them with a hope of sncces*
in two Districts in theState,and may
have the same effect iu others.
For these aud other reasons, ii
has occurred to the Central Execu
live Committee of the District to is
sue tliis appeal to yon, and, througl
you, to the votes in the several conn
ties, to urge the necessity of polling
a full vote at the various precincts
on the 5th of November next. Even
should tbe dangers above suggested
prove imaginary, a full vote is desir
able to bring out the strength of tht
party, and show the fertility of Rad
ical organization against it in this
District in the future.
It ia well knowu that organization
among onr opponente has been here
tofnre, in many instances, secretly
effected and remained unseen in its
effects, up to the era of an election.
You are therefore earnestly urged to
keep on the lookout lor dangers, i
which, if not imminent, appear to the !
committe highly probable. A mea- j
gre vote at this juncture,- would elate
our opponents, and prove that “we
had merely scotched the snake, not
killed it." |

Advertising vs. Drumming.

better. Their customers are better
