AIHK'DTA, UA.i THURSDAY MORNING Nov. 8. 1886 Affairs of Ihs Assoeiatod Pre«*. 7b Agents and Onrespondenis of ike Associated Press: New Yoke, September 6.—Pleas* to taka nolieo that Mr. D. 11. Crain ka» been diacharpt-d from the General Agency M Ihe New York Associated Free*, by thn unanimous rote ot the members, M. Jos. W. Simslon has been appointed General Agent,and due attention will be giseu to his dispatches as such agent. (Signed) W. C. Prime, Os the Journal of Commerce Brest. Jos. P. Beach, of N. Y. Sun, Sec’y. REPLT or O. H. CRAIG. To all Editors and Agents of the As sociated Press: New Yore, November 5.—1 have read the notice sent over the wires this evening, signed by Messrs. Prime and Beach, and pronounce its assertions utterly aud infamously false. I have not bean discharged unaniroonsly, nor at all. My responsibility is to the Ex ecutive Committee, aud to them only, and they have not and will not unite in the lying assertions of Prime and Beach. It is true, I have tor some weeks past headed a movement here to remodel and improve our Association, as you will learn from my printed circular, now on its way to you, and it is also true that all these arrangements are complete, and will go into effect next Monday. My resignation has been in the hands of the Executive Committee for several weeks, and whether accepted or not, I should have retired ut the end ot this week, nt which time I have good reason to believe, every Ageut or Reporter of the Association will earnestly cooperate in tbe new movement, which 1 assure you, is started with the most ample backers, and its results will largely pro mote the interests of all the papers out side of the city, and I shall confidently hope for your earnest approval. (Sjgned.) 1). H. Craig, Gen’l Agent N. Y. Ass’d Press. We find the above in the Chronicle <£• Sentinel of yesterday morning, but not in the Constitutionalist, Why it was published in one, and not in the other, we are at n loss to know. Per haps it is none of our business— perhaps it is of no consequence, as the facetious Toots would say. But when the President of the Associated Press telegraphs to its agents and correspond ents that Mr. D. H. Craig has been discharged from the General Agency of the institution, by the unanimous vote of the members , we cannot resist the inclination to ask our city cotemporarics if they voted on thnt subject? Os coarse, as they arc members of the Associated Press, and the vote was unanimous, they must have voted, or else they have been treated very shab bily by the New York members of the Association, which undertook so impor tant a move without consulting their “ Southern patrons,” and, we beg leave to tender them our sympathies for this evident slight. Let that pass, however. The New York Associated Press, of which Mr. Craig was the General Agent, has removed that gentleman, and it is proba ble that this step was taken because of his course toward Southern papers, cutting off, by urgent conscriptive policy, no little revenue from the Association. It is very evident thst the more custo mers the Association has the greater will be its profits, and consequently, the greater its facilities for supplying its own members and its customers with news. Any policy, therefore, which presents an increase of customers, must be detrimental to its interests and unsatisfactory to its members. It is true Mr. Craig denies his expul sion trom office ; but the character of the gentlemen who sent the first dis patch, and the official nature of the dis patch, warrant the belief that their statement is the correct one. And this view, it appears to us, is corroborated by the statement ol Mr. Craig, that he had scut in his resignation to ibe Ex ecutive Committee some weeks ago, having in view anew movement, in which he believes that every Agent aud Reporter of the Association will co -o|>crate. But whether he is expelled or resigns, it is sufficient to know that he is no longer the General Agent of the As sociated Press s and those papers which have been excluded from the benefits of that Association may now have reason to hope for a change of policy, for a more just, liberal, and enlightened pol icy. We have been excluded from the ad vantages of the Association, as our read ers know; and it is unnecessary to recount the means here by which this has been done. We will simply add that we have not been idle since. In fact, we have been iming no little energy to secure telegraphic news for our paper, and will not give up the effort until we do suc ceed. After the General Agenl had de cided against us, we applied, in writing, to the Agent in this city, to furnish us, as a merchant, with the dispatches which he supplies to his mercantile customers, which dispatches come to him in cypher, and are not a part of the Associated l’ress news. We informed him that we did not want them until 9 o’clock at night, at u time when they could not be used to the injury of the mercantile in terest ; that we would pledge Ourselves not to take any advantage of them with the daily papers, and would, therefore, not give them publicity only in our morning edition, and that we would give security, if required and pay for them in advance. We thought that this was a very fair and liberal offer; but Mr. Walsh, fur some reason, refused to give us the dispatches, and has not furnished ns with any satisfactory reason for such refusal, thereby doing us, a.i we think, great injustice. Wc huve no desire to renew a conlro »:ray which was unpleasant to us ; but tbit much we have fell it necessary, in justice to ourself to say. We desired earnestly to establish the best of feeling with our city cotemporarics ; but were met with opposition aud unkiudness from them at the start. Against their injus tice we felt called upon to protest. But as we have said, we have no Intention to renew the unphtesant controversy. We desire to coOperßle with them lor the beet interests of our city, end we should say or do nothing to disturb the harmony and good feeling which ought to exist between the papers of » com munity. There is certainty room enough for all; and in 'advocating and promo ting the interests of the community of the State and of the South, there' is enough for all to do, without engaging in unpleasant and unprofitable discus sions. Our only excuse, therefore, for this deviation from our policy And prin ciples is the occasion which ca led forth these observations. The change in the General Agency of the Associated Press is an important movement,, and gives us reason to hope that there will also be a change of policy; and that all the papers of the country who are willing to pay for the dispatches can get them. Then the Daily Press will be placed upon an equality with its older and more favored cotemporaries, aud our readers have all the advantages which the telegraphic news can give. The Columbia and Augusta Bail road. We published, in our issue of yester day, a “ Report of the Proceedings of the Stockholders of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, nt their Annual Convention held in Columbia, S. C., Thursday, Nov. Ist, 18C6.” This morning we publish the proclamation of His Honor, Mayor Foster, ordering an election to take the sense of the com munity in regard to a subscription, on the part of the City, to the Capital Stock of that Company. Both of these docu ments are import,.ut, and should com. rnand the attention of our citizens. The work is an important one, involving a considerable share of the commercial interest and prosperity of the City. If, after, a careful examination of the whole subject, our people feel that they can assume this additional responsibility upon themselves, it will be their duty to vote for “subscription,” and thus secure the completion of the road to this point. We should have preferred a loan by the City of its credit to the road, if it were possible, as being the most secure mode of assisting it; out as this could not be done, our City fathers, in their wisdom have thought best to sub mit the question of “subscription” or “no subscription” to its capital stock directly to the people. With this object in view they have appointed the third Monday in November instant as a day of elec tion to ascertain tbe sense of the people in regard to the subject, and affixing certain conditions to the subscription, should it be decided by the popular vote to subscribe. These conditions are, that the Road shall cross the Savnnnah river into this City; that its machine shops, and freight and passenger depots shall be located in this city, that its property shall be taxed as other proper ty, and that the Mayor of this City shall be, ex officio, one of the Directors of the Company. These are wise provis ions, and not too exacting. The sub scription asked for is a large one, and will, we are assured, secure the comple. tion of the Road ; while the conditions are easy, aud will, no doubt, be ac cepted. While examining into this subject, the people will have to consider the financial condition of the City, the necessarily heavy taxation already im posed upon them, and the liability clause of the Company’s charter, pub lished in connection with the Resolution of the City Council. These are serious and important considerations; but the question arises, whether or not the advantages to be gained by the com pletion of the road to this point will not more than counter balance these seem ing disadvantages? We think they will. The route to the North will be greatly shortened, and the time thus consider ably lessened between the Southwest and the North, thus inducing trade and travel to come this way. In fact, there is no railroad which terminates at a given point but must benefit that point. It roust, in the increase of trade and the facilities for trade, increase the value of real estate, and so increase the re sources of taxation, thus rendering it less burthensome to the individual tax payers. It should, also, be taken info consid eration that, other roads are in contem plation which will cut our City off entirely fromthc great route of Northern and Southern travel, unless this link is speedily completed. By the completion of this Road and the Milledgeville Road, and the Mobile and Girard Road, the route and time between New Orleans and New York will be so much lessened as to defy competition. The routes and time to Montgomery and the West will also be considerably shortened, and travel induced by this line. We have been informed that the charter, an extract of which is pnblished in our official column this morning, was never accepted by the Company; and it is not doubted that the liability clause thus published will be repealed by the present Legislature. It is as wc have said, an important subject, and we feel that it is tho duty of every voter to examine it carefully, and vote according to bis best judgment. A great interest of the City is involved in its settlement, and it behooves every one to act with prudence and caution. We believe that the Road ought to be built, and that Cither the City Council, or private individuals, ought to aid in its completion. Still, we wish every citizen to act for himself mid for the good of th* community, For this reason we have stated the question plainly, And advised a calm and full investi gation of it. And, in conclusion, we earnestly suggest a full vote on the day of the proposed election so that there may be mr doubt as to the sense of the community in regard to the action of the City Council.

House adjourned till morning. Pluto. Special Correspondence Daily Press. From Milledgeville. Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 5, 1866. Editor Daily Press: Thanks to Col. Frobe!, State Engineer, the Capitol has been put in very creditable order. The roof no longer lets in the rain like a sieve, and in either Hall the once prevalent dinginess has given place to a refreshing degree of light and airiness— the woodwork having been painted a glossV white, tipped off with gold; the walls tintei. a faint pink, and the win dow-shutters a very light straw. Above the Speaker’s chair, in the House, is a full-length portrait of old Andrew Jack son, in the full glories of his New Orleans uniform, leaning upon his sabre, and looking heroically sour on the beholder. Once the portrait of Gen. Janies Jackson, who so strongly upheld the civil authority in the affair of the Yazoo fraud, occupied this post of honor, but, as if to typify the present reign of the sword, the soldier has been promoted to the statesman’s place. To the right and left, old Hickory is flanked by Franklin and LaFayctte. In the Senate, Col. Gibson’s chair has on either side full-length portraits of Wash ington and Jefferson. Along the west wall are ranged like portraitures oi Troup—the first Governor of Georgia elected by tho people, the Legislature having, prior to 1824, that selection— and James Jackson, above mentioned. The opposite wall has, in loving unison, Clark and Crawford, cheek by jowl, ns though they had never been at sword’s points during life—Clark cleaving to the Federalists and Crawford to the then Republican party, an antagonism whith led, in 1804, to a duel, in which Clurk shot Cniwlbrd iti tho .vrist. On tbe opening duy the desks of presiding officers iii either house wore decorated with wreathes and bouquets of many tinted flowers—to one wheroof, with an eye, doubtless, to the (un)Consfitutional Amendment, was appended a slip vT] paper bearing upon it, in delicate chi. rography, the admonition, “ Don't bend to the Yankees I" At first, there was but a bare quorum, but now there are only a very few vacant seats in the House, and hardly any in the Senate, beyond that which should be occupied by Hon. C. A. Smith (Bill Arp), tempo rarily detained at home. So far, of course, there has been no legislation, but signs iudicate, to some extent, the probuble action of the session. A joint special committee had the, so-called, Constitutional Amendment entrusted to its tender care to-day, and will, beyond peradventure, return in the shortest possible time, that precious bantling of iniquity to its fathers, with the label on its back, “ Not Wanted.’ 1 Speaking o| this Amendment, it may be stated that it is understood quite a number of promi nent men throughout the Slate have written here in advocacy of its adoption. One name in particular might be men tioned, but is withheld in hopes the gentleman will get over his twitter in good time. Every man has, of course, a right to his opinion, but, as a matter of interest, the people might like to know, and perhaps will know, the names of these swift runners of the reconstruc tion race. A bill to abolish the County Court: and providing no substitute, has been introduced, but it is not thought so suicidal a measure will pass. The chief opposition comes from counties that, as having only a limited freedman population, cannot properly set off the benefits of this tribunal against its disadvantages. Col. Snead, of Richmond, has, up to date, introduced three bills—one to in corporate The Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Augusta (capital stock $200,- 000, with power of extension to a mil liou); one to change the times of hold ing the Superior Court in Richmond County from the second Monday in April and October to same day in January and,June; and one to strike out the word “ indigent” in the act of last ses sion, giving artificial arms and legs to maimed Georgia soldiers. This latter, which makes mutilation and not poverty the condition of receiving the State bounty, is an admirable measure, and it will be a shame should the General As sembly refuse to adopt it. The subject ot relief is destined to prove a problem, whose solution will tax to the uttermost legislative ingenuity, but will not be further touched on in this letter than to say it has been suggested that the State credit be relied on to help the people out of their strait—assuming the relation of creditor, under certain restrictions. This plan comos from high authority, but has not as yet been perfected in detail. The S'ate finances, it is pleasant to say. are in a condition that gives no ground for despondency. The entire debt of Geor gia is at date $5,706,500, and exclusive of the State road, which, by law, is not allowed to be valued in a presentation of public accounts, the present assets are $1,126,000. The road is, ot course, in reality assets, and I am informed by the Comptroller General—whose report, by the bye, is highly creditable, and shall receive hereafter a more fitting notice—that he has means of knowing it could be sold at a fortnight’s notice for ten millions of dollars. The indications arc that the session will be far more lively than was at first thought, some of the fair ones of the State having descended, like so many goddesses, upon us, and bringing with them much talk of festive import. Yesterday the pastor of the Methodist Church made an exhibit that speaks little for the state of the vineyard in this quarter, stating at the end of the ser vices that he would, with that day, with draw from further ministration—having been cheered in two longyears with little spiritual comfort from his flock, and still less wherewithal to keep himself and family from want. Report says the good man has enjoyed a munificent salary of S3OO per annum, which, if so, will account for his somEwhat startling hom ily. Rev. Mr. Flynn still ministers ac ceptably at the Presbyterian Chuich, and keeps up his laudable wont of pray ing for all them that do languish in an unjust captivity. The story told by a correspondent (Quondam) of the N. Y. Times-, in a late letter to that paper from Augusta, to the effect that Hon. Alexander H. Stephens and his brother, the Judge, favored the adoption, by Georgia, of the Constitu tional Amendment, turns out to be without foundation. A letter was very recently received, in tlm city, by a gentle man once occupying a high official po sition, in which Mr. Stephens emphatic ally says his position is not such as the letter alluded to attributes to him, and that he cannot imagine what could have led to a statement as erroneous in re gard to him as to his brother. He thinks; also, that the Amendment should be acted on at once in order to put at rest all doubts as to how Goorgia will stand in the matter. The first steps in this action were takeu to day, as stated, and by the 7th or Bth, perhaps before, the proper verdict will be passed upon the measure. 8. D.

In the event of the neglect or refusal of the incorporation to pay any debt owing by tho same, the creditor or creditors thereof may sue the Company in their corporate name, and upon obtaining execution against the Company, it shall first be levied upon the corporate property of said Company, which shall first be liable, and upon thq return of tbe proper officer or officers, of no corpo rate property to be found, said execution may bo levied upon an amount of the pri vate property of any Stockholder of the Company, equal to the amount of his stock; if that bo not sufficient to satisfy said exe cution, tiien it may be levied upon the pri vate property of any other Stockholder, equal to his stock, and ao on, until the exe cution is fully satisfied, and in all cases tho levying officer shall bo tho judge of tbe amount of property necessary to satisfy the fi. fa.
