Geaeral Tom Ewing is tha Demo

The difference between him and
Charles Foster, the Republiean nom
inee, is thns stated by the Washing
ton Post: While General Tom Ewing
was bravely doing a soldier’s dnty at
the front daring the war of the re
bellion, Hr. Charles Foster was avail
ing himself of the opportunities fur
nished by the war to build up his
ample fortune in peace and quietness

The Springfield, (Mass.) Republican,
one of the most conservative and in

tome Southern man like Lamar,

pointment coold not “fail to hare an
important influence in moderating
the heat of political conflict, which
will appeal to the better nature of
every man, which must meet with
hearty response all over the South,
which wilt draw the people of the two
sections nearer together and make the
quarrels of the politicians of less avail
in disturbing business interests and
relations.”
Another local bill of which notice
has been given, is one to authorize
the county of Dougherty to issue
bonds to the amount of $30,000, and
to lavy a tax for the payment of the
same, for the purpose of establishing
a Free Bridge over Flint River, at
Albany, Ga. Is a bill of this charac

The question was thoroughly in
vestigated before the publication of
intention was made. The Legislature
will simply he asked to allow a vote
of two-thirds the citizens of Dough

this tax shall be levied. This is ail

Justice Bradley, of the Supreme
Court, recently decided. In the Culled
States Circuit Court at Savannah,
several petitions in reference lo the
above road, a synopsis of which we
give below:
1. That the city of Savannah li.nl
no authority to tax the road.
i. That the consolidation of the A.
ft G. and S. Ga. ft Fla. railroad *•001-
pastes was legal and valid, and that
under the charters of both roads, the
consolidated company bad all the
rights and powers that could be en
joyed by any other railroad company
under the laws ot Georgia.
3. That the consolidated road had
a legal right under the charter to buy
the S. Ga. ft Fla. lb R., aud that this
road had power to sell. Hence, the
purchase was in all respects legal.
4. ThattbeS.Ga.ft Fla. II. R. I
covered by both the 1st and 2d mort
gages of the A. ft G. R. R. Co.; but
nnt to the prejudice of the priorities
due to the separate mortgages on the
S. Ga. ft Fla. R. R.
That the A. ft G. R. R. Vo. and
the consolidated A. ft G. R. It. Co.
had power to borrow money, inort
gage the road and its franchises;
that the mortgages are valid upou
the whole of the road, including the
portion from Albany to Thomasville,
and that a decree should be made for
for the foreclosure and sale of the
road, its eqnipments and franchises
for the purpose of raising the amount
due on the mortgage bonds.
5. That the first mortgage was in
effect technically a deed, and the ob
jections to its proper acknowledgment
before a magistrate is invalid.
6. That the liens of laborers and
other employes of the road should
have been asserted with the prelimi
nary forms set out in the Slate laws;
that is if the law requires it to be re
corded or verified by oath such ac
tion should have been taken by those
claiming the liens in order to their
enforcement in the United States
Court.
7. That the claims of other connect
ing roads for through freight and
fares are in the nature of open ac
counts and stand upon the same foot
ing aa other unsecured debts of the
Company.
8. In drawing the decree the direc
tion* for the sale of the property
shonld provide for the payment into
Court ofa sufficient sum to par the
liens prior to the mortgages and the
sea of litigation. If the sum be
insufficient the deficiency mast be
made np by the purchasers of the
road, in case they be allowed to pay
their bids in bonds of the Company.
The bonds can remain uncancelled
until the matter is determined.
This decision is adverse to the
claims of the laborers and the hard
working, honest fellows who stood
by the road in adversity, are doomed
to suffer loss unless the above decis
ion is reversed. The above decision
is a great hardship, if not indeed
palpable in justice. The technical ob
jections to the first mortgage were
overruled, bnt equally trivial. objec
tions will be the cause of the laborers 1
liana being decided adversely.
The case will be carried to the IT.
S. Supreme Court, and those inter
ested will have to writ awhile yet.

*» Ga.. [
i 3, 1878.)
Believing it lo he the duly of the
press of Georgia lo call llie attention
of the public nud members of the
Legislature to the condition of llio
Lunatic Asylum, and to the fact that
many unfortunates, dethroned of rea*
son, are not provided for in a humane
way, we addressed a letter to Dr.
Powell, the Superintendent, for (acts,
and the following is his cheerful and
interested reply:
STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM
Near Millkdokvillr,
June
Editors Xescs, Albany, Ga.:
lu reply to yours of the 30tli of
May. I will answer your questions
according to number:
1. The capacity of the Asylum is
for 700 patients.
2. There are now 751 patients In the
Asylum. We have got up to this
number by using the parlors and rec
reation porticos.
3. Yes; there nre applicants who
cannot he accommodated. We nre
crowded, anil can only receive rerent
or dangerous rases.
4. There arc 112 negroes in the
Asylum.
5. 6,7. Insanity is evidently on the
increase in Georgia and throughout
the country. I know of no public
institution of the kind in the United
States from which the complaint of
being over-crowded docs not come.
Our department for colored patients
has been dangerously crowded for
months, ami we have 4.1 applications
for reception for that class of patients
on record, awaiting the occurrence of
vacancies. Many of them nre non
fined in jail. It is very clear that
some provision should be tnndc for
their care. Our Trustees urged upon
the last Legislature the necessity of
making some provision for that class.
The bill is still pending, and it is
hoped that the July session will make
the necessary appropriation.
As to the number of insane persons
in the State that ought to he in the
Asylum, I cannot answer definitely
We have not, as yet, refused to re
cclvc any white patients that were
recent or dangerous eases of insanity
The departments for harmless, citron
ic eases of insanity, and harmless
idiots, are filled to their utmost ca
paeitv.
The poor-houses, upon the slightest
manifestation of mental weakness,
have been sending to the Institution
class of harmless patients that we
cannot hope to benefit—such cases as
paralysis, senile imbecility, (he in
fant, the blind, the lame, the dying.

Press Cointncuts.
OUR INSTITUTIONS SAVE.
The plain fact, however, is that
neither party’s ascendancy will hurt
the country ; ami if our institutions
were of so fragile a nature (hat they
depended for their security upon the
continued care of only one of the two
great parties, and must lie shivered
by the handling of the oilier, they
would he already, as all sensible men
comprehend, pnst saving.—.V. T.

“Two-Third* of the Qualified
Voters of the County.”
The framers of the new Constitu
tion certainly made some terrible
blunders in the phraseology of their
articles, and their oversight is likely
to canse serious and expensive lega
tion.
One of the provisions necessary to
remove a courthouse, or levy an ex
tra tax for any purpose is that two-
thirds of the qualified voters of the
county are to give their assent to the
proposition by ballot It is difficult
to define the meaning of this clause.
Does it moan that two-thirds of the
voters must cast their votes for such
purpose, or that two-thirds of the
votes east at aa election will grant
the power to the county ? This is
nice question for lawyers, and makes
oat a dear case of negligence against
those wise men who pretended to
give ns a positive fttndamental law.
The citizens of Worth county arc
now puzzled over this intricate ques
tion, and the people of Dougherty
should guard against trouble by
turning oaten masse at the bridge
election.
We shonld like to have the opinion
of some of onr prominent lawers on
the subject, as it is certainly an im
portent one.
A Dog Law.
The Legislature cannot benefit the
country more than by the immediate
passage of a law that will rid the
country of the thousands of worthless
cun that infest every section of the
State. The sheep-raising business
seriously impaired by the ravages
of dog*, and the cry for their exter-
inatlon or for a law that would pro
tect the people from their ravages
hat become wide-spread and earnest,
We cannot conceive why former leg
islature* have not passed the desired
law. There cannot surely be any
strong argument against such a stat
ute, sod if the next assembly fails to
take the matter in hand and afford
the relief to urgently demanded, they
will fail to meet the withes of their
constituents and to perform one of
the plainest and most urgent duties
devolving upon them.

S1IKIIMAN AND IIAVES.
No one can see and talk with John
Sherman and not be profoundly itu-
ircsscd by him. llo is a large man,
n the golden prime of life, nnd a
model of that perfect health that
ronies from clean habits and a discip
lined temperament. A more intel
lectual head I have never seen, and if
indeed his manners are n trifle cold,
they arc stamped with diguity born
of conscious superiority and tho hab
it of command. I must confess that
my preconceived ideas of him were,
in part, largely shattered, and I can
understand better now than formerly
why he has loomed up so conspicu
ously for the Presidential noniina
tlon.

However much I may differ political

The Duty on Quinine.
Several attempts have recently
been made in Congress to obtain
repeal of the heavy protective tariff
on quinine, and institute a free trade
in this important drug. As the law
stands, the tariff gives a monopoly to
two large Philadelphia drug houses,
of which Powers & Weightmau is the
largest,'and these houses gain nearly
a million dollars in yearly profits by
reason of the so-called protective du
ty. The result is that the consumers
of the almost necessary medicine
have to pay an enurmons price for it,
most of which money goes to enrich
the bloated monopolists, and does not
materially add to the revenue of the
government. A more outrageous
burdensome tax was never imposed
upon a people. It is literally a tax
upon their life-blood, the repeal of
which is demanded by every princi
ple of right and humanity. Mr. Fel
ton of Georgia recently made strenu
ous efforts to have a bill removing
the restrictive duty passed by the
committee of Ways and Means, bnt
by the vote of Phelps, demo
cratic member, the considera
tion of the bill was passed
over till the next session in De
cember. The fever-tortured and
agne-shaken people will have this
pleasant consideration to cheer them
during the coming sickly season. Wo
arc not sure but that the people would
rather have the quinine bill attended
to first, and take the chances of the
army at the polls for a season or two
longer.
Tlie Effect of the Exodus on the
Cotton Supply.
The Philadelphia Record, specula
ting on what may possibly be the
effect of the negro exodus upon the
cotton interests of the country, snvs:
“.Should the next cotton crop of Hie
United States fall twenty-five per
cent short in consequence of Hie exo
dus excitement it would entail a loss
of a million and a quarter bales,
which, at 11)4 cents per pound, would
exceed the surn of $22,500,000.
"It is not probable there will he a
loss so great, blit those who are fan
ning the exodus excitement for parti
san ends expect to make it greater.—
Little they care how much suffering
they cause the poor negroes whom
they are inducing to leave their fields
of labor to go in search of the “prom
ised land,” and the more distress they
bring upon the white planters the
better pleased will they bn; little
they care if all the cotton mills in the
country are “shut down” in conse
quence of Hie high price of cotton,
and the two hundred thousand men,
women uiid children employed in
these mills anil in (lie establishments
which they feed nre thrown out of
employment for three months in the
year; little they care if every man in
the country is obliged to pay two
dollars for shirts such as arc now sold
for one; little ilo they care if India,
Egypt, Mexico and Brazil should be
able to produce cotton cheaper than
us, and the item of $200,000,000, the
value of the animal exportation of
cotton from (lie United Slates,should
dwindle to nothing."
The Montgomery mid Eufaula
Road.
AN IMPORTANT MEET1NO !
Telegraph A Messenger.)
On Thursday last, In Montgomery,
Ala., an important meeting of those
interested in the Montgomery and
Eufaula railroad, which was recently
purchased by President Wadlcy for
the Central road, was held and an
organization under tiic new manage
ment effected. Col. Wm. M. Wadlcy
was elected President, and Messrs. J,
J. Gresham and ,T. E. Jones, of this
city; John II. Wilder, W. A. Gordon
Geo. Cornwell, of Savannah; W. O,
Baldwin and J. 11. Hardic, of Mont

Union Springs, directors.

been issued, all of which has been ta
ken already. Bonds of the road will
also he issued to the amount of $1
500.000. This amount and the amount
of stock issued will just count up $2,-
120.000, the original cost of the road,
The bonds will be endorsed by both
the Central and the Southwestern
roadfs, and will bear six per cent, in
terest. Thus endorsed they will
prove an excellent investment, and
one hundred thousand dollars will
probably be placed on sale in Macon
July 1st has been fixed as the date
their issuance.
The road is now and will be run by
the Southwestern railroad trains, and
the regular passenger trains Icavin
Macon on that line will run throug
without change to Montgomery. The
trains commenced running on the
through schedule last Sunday. Tho
line is two hundred and twenty-three
miles in length, and is the longest
route now ruu continuously by any
line whicli has a terminal point in the
State. Many of the employes of the
road will probably bo displaced by
this arrangement, and the force of the
road will be brought down toastrict-
ly working basis.
The party returned from Mont
gomery yesterday, and dined at the
Brown House. There was quite a
gathering of the railroad men. Col

declared that the President had
right to veto any bill lie thought pro

compliment. The Senator proceeded
to sav he had uo intention to emliar

His (Mr. Hampton’s) people remem
bered that in a critical period oftheir
history, when any injudicious action
would have been fatal, the President
by a conscientious construction of his
duty, removed the United States
troops from Louisiana anil South Cur-
olina, thus enabling the people lo
store their local government to those
who represented the popular will,
For this wise, patriotic action lie was
grateful; anil while it would be
duty to oppose tlie policy of which
tlie President was the representative;
that opposition would not lie such
to drive the President into a coalition
with those who would madly trample
on the people in their struggle, in
dor to retuin power. Mr. Hampton
said his party was denounced
wishing to restrict Die Federal use
troops, but a high Republican, whose
words lie quoted, lind also pointed
out anil denounced Hie danger and
abuses of such use. It was not tlie
immense action of Hie army Hint lie
feared, but tlie ultimate effect of its
misuse, and he would oppose any leg-
isiation giving tho General Govern
ment power to interfere in any way
with elections.
