The Stale Road.
It has been but a few weeks since the
"white-washing committee,” acting on tbe
testimony ol Judgr Parrott and others, re
ported that the State Road was in good
condition. It was thus that the failure to
pay any thing into the treasury for months
past was accounted for the earnings of the
road had been absorbed by expensive im
provements. This explanation, although
by no means satisfactory, was suffered to
pass for what it was worth. Everybody
knew that in the days of Gov. Browu the
road bad been kept up and forty thousand
dollars per month paid into tbe treasury,
and that at a later period, under the ad
ministration of Maj. Campbell Wallace,
tbe road bad beeu constantly improved
notwithstanding, be made pajments of
from forty to forty five thousand dollars
per month! These facts are known of all
men.
When Col. Blodgett was appointed Su
perintendent, it was claimed by his friends
that he possessed superior bussiness quali
fications. Hulbert had paid but twenty-
five thousand dollars per month. The
public were uot satisfied with this. They
expected the Wallace standard to be
reached, or something even better than
that, as it was notorious that the Road
was doing a much larger busine-s.
Georgia Stale Agrieolloral Society.
The preparations for accommodating
100,000 visitors at the Statu Fair is on
the most gigantic scale. Atlanta is do
ing her prettyest te make tbe Fair a grand
success. The grounds are elegantly fit
ted up, well watered and otherwise adapt
ed to the occasion. We see that arrange
ments have beeu made for persons who
do not wish to remain in the city at night.
Trains wiil be run on four different roads,
morning and evening, which will enable
visitors to lodge in the adjoining towus.
The citi; i os of Atlanta have offered a
prize of fc^.OOO for the fastest trotting
horse and $500 for the next best. We
hope to see a grand success.

From the following articles, which we

it would seem that there is likely lo be'

it be that the ting is in danger of being
defeated at its own game ? Bullock’s

Proposed Sale of the State Road.
The biggest scheme yet hatched,
and one involving most danger to the
financial interests of the State, was
made public yesterday through a bill
introduced by Senator Hurigerlord, to
incorporate the Georgia Slate Railway

is composed of a batch of Northern
railroad speculalors, who have come to
Georgia, not to build, or help build a
new road, but have come with palms
itching to gel hold of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, lor a consideration
far below its value, offered in a shape
which will never do the people of the
Slate any good. The bill incorpora

by the following, clipped from Wie New

“A brilliant fashion which has just
been invented in this progressive city,
bids fair to outshine Paris in its lustre
and extravagance. Recently an up
town gentlemen of wealth aud fashion
say, led the proscriptionist wing, Sen
ator Schurz led the enfranchisement
party, and under his guidance a seces
sion movement took place, the conven
tion splitting in two bodies, which met
in separate apartment, adopted dif
ferent platforms, nominated different
candidates for the Governorship tbe
present executive, McClug, receiving
the proscriptionist and B Gratz Brown
the enfranchisement nomination. The
Democrats have held no convention,
nor will they, but in all probability
throw their voice in favor of the liberal
candidate, Mr. Brown. The appear
