Mr. Springer reports that from Mr

was again moving for a nomination
for tlie Presidency. Mr. Tilden told
Mr. Springer that it was a matter of
vital importance that the Democracy
should win at the next Presidential

try is now approaching to what pro
discs to be a long era of prosperity,
and if the Democracy can ride into
power on the wave, to which it will
have contributed so largely, it will
remain in possession of the Govern

leaped over the ramparts in the face
of a terrible fire, and rescued the flag
that had been shot away. It is pro
posed to have a “Jasper Centennial''

ation propose to lay the corner stone
of his monument. The fnnds for this

There are no salaries paid to any one.
Tbe cause is a good one, and we hope

The Albany News, from what is
said by the Macon paper, is clearly of
the opinion that the Judge’* railroad
bill is impracticable, and was so in
tended by the Judge because of bis
relations to the road. Now this ar
raignment of Judge Hall is rather
severe, in our opinion. If the bill is
InipracUcable in any of its parts, snch
gentlemen as Mr. Westbrook, and
others of the railroad committee, cer
tainly would have seen that trouble.
If the bill goes too far in the mat
ters spoken of, and gives power Into
tbe hands of a commission that can
not be exercised by it, without viola
ting the chartered rights of the roads,
then in that regard the Legislature
will be very sure to amend. Tho
News need have no fears bift that the
Legislature will enforce the constitu
tion on this subject, unless too many
of the members are sedneed Into ab
senteeism. w«. fear absenteeism from
tbe duties of legislation will i-ooii
prove a greater evil than lobbying.—

Tlie seeming absurdity of the bill,
is what aroused oar suspicion of Hie
intention of its originator; and wo
felt it a duty to call the attention of
tlie Legislature to its fallacy, allow
ing chip* to fall where they might.—
We did not accuse Judge Hall of hav
ing “relations to railroads." Some
times these efforts are made by par
ties directly interested in railroads
either through ignorance or for a
purpose. Now, we do not charge
Judge Hall with either. Have never
known him to be guilty of wrong do
ing, yet warn the Legislature that in
these latter days even legislators may
not be infallible. The News means
simply to call the attention of “Mr.
Westbrook, and others orthe railroad
committee,” to the shape of the bill,

following tlie surrender these lauds
were much neglected, but of late a
lively spirit seems to have again aris
en, and the crops at this time seem
hopeful indeed. Cotton looks better
than it docs in Southwest Georgia!
and it seems that the corn crop escap
ed such a severe drouth as that which
befell onr planters. A good yield
will lie made. Caterpillars have
[ made about the same progress here

apprehension of trouble from them.

I observe no striking change in the
