tlfnrtlpvr Huger*.
She played last night t<» a large audi
ence, the piece entitled “Bonn or Love
Works Wonders.” Miss Rogers acted
the title role almost to perfection. She
is young, but has true dramatic genius.
She is not stereotyped in any of. her
movements. The voice ,and face of the
actress express the emotions which
sway her m ind and her action is in per
fect unison with those emotions. There
is no exaggeration of passion, but the
earnestness of spirit which pervades
her impersonation of this “love affair,’’
(wo call it) demonstrates in a remark
able degree the strength and symmetry
of her talent and admirable execution.
Her support was about as good as ever
comes South. In fact, wo would call it
first rate for our city.
As for the merits of the play, which
we term a common place series of Jilt-
ings, we must say that the plot has no
depth, and in itself is not calculated to
place one in a potential state of impa
tience and anxiety to know the results.
Notwithstanding, there is nothing re
markable in the play, yet it “took,” to
a fabulous degree, judging from tin*
plaudits of the audience. It pleased
because it was a bundle of love matters,
which pleases as it goes along. The
play was well presented and admirably
dressed id every souse of the word.
Wo repeat that the support was good,
anil we make special mention of Mr.
Hudson Liston, who personated Chris
topher Npillet in *a style that would
make Comedy itself smile.
Miss Jennie MeLellan personated
Miss Doretlm Withers, an old maid
with much reading and “stupendous
intellect,” in a manner which could not
well ho surpassed.
Tlit> IMiuwiix Jewelry Mon*.
Mr. Jim. II. Briggs has associated with
him Mr. T. S. Spear, and has opened
at 101 Broad street a new and choice
selected stock of Jewelry, sterling silver
ware, gold and silver watches, and ar
ticles suitable for bridal and holiday
presents.
Mr. llriggs is a stranger to us, but he
comes well recommended as a first-
class merchant and gentleman. Mr.
Spear is too well known for us to speak
of him. His taste for selecting stylish,
fashionable and (/nod goods has never
been questioned. The stock of goods is
new and fresh and direct from various
Northern manufactories, and will be
sold at prices to suit the times. We ask
of our friends to give the “Phoenix”
a call and examine the stock. We
have done so, and are gratiHed to re
port a beautiful lino of goods at mar
velous low figures.
Mr. Lequin, an experienced watch
maker, has charge of the repairing of
watches, jewelry, etc., and all work is
guaranteed.
Fire In C’hnltnliuocliee iomity.
Wednesday morning, Hie very valu
able and desirable dwelling of Mr. Win.
Bagley, of Chattahoochee county, was
burned. The lire originated from a
stove about the building. Wo learn
that there was no insurance. This is
certainly a very heavy blow upon this
gentleman to have Ids hard earnings
swept away almost in the twinkling of
an eye. His house coatuinud fully
twenty rooms with many conveniences
and was doubtless the most costly one
in that county. The structure could
not be replaced for Joss than ten thous
and dollars.
A Henutlfiil Boll llouxr.
It was made by Miss Willie Mahaf-
fey, of this city, and is now on exhibi
tion at Marcnnn tV t larrett’s. It is to be
rattled at I illy cents per chance, being
valued at twenty dollars. In less* than
throe hours more than half of the
chances had been taken, and this speaks
well for the most admirable style in
which the baby things* are gotten up.
The walls and ceiling of the little house
is tOMtlly papered, and the furniture Ls
neat and unique, and comprises every
thing pertaining to a neat and hand
somely furnished room—oven babies.
Everything was made by Miss Ma-
hatlby’s hands.

We learn that to-day there will be a
chicken-fight in Browneville, Alaban^i,
in which Georgia cocks will be principal
participants. If any of our boys want
to have some rare sport now is the time.
We would like to be on hand, but busi
ness of an imperative nature requires
ourprosenee in the city. No doubt
many of our sportive youths will not
he as busy as wo are, and will partake
of the fun. *
A Rcuilxlfr.
We heard complaints last night that
some parties could not, with satisfac
tion listen to the play in the Opera
House, because some who were
sitting near had too much to talk
about and seemed to be studious that
others should hear them. Gentlemen
who pay their money to witness an
entertainment do not desire to be dis
turbed, even if it be by those who
would be co)U'tpk'non.s. Be still, boys,
merit shines without any unnecessary
application of gas. You can be seen, if
handsome, but should not be heard.
0|*i»rrx«l«e Railroad DUrrlnalaallon*
uad the Reairdy.
Mr. Editor: A few days since I read
an article in your paper showing the
discriminations in rates of freights ns
practiced by the railroads leading to
and from the city of Columbus. This
discrimination not only does exist in
case of cotton, but in all classes of goods
and merchandize of all descriptions,
and has existed or been practiced for
years, resulting in great damage to our
city.
1 am glad to see tlmt one of our pa
pers has had the independence to de
nounce oppressive monopolies, and I
hope your paper will continue to keep
this matter before the people until they
are aroused to act. t
The. question asked by every one is—
“Is there no remedy or relief?” I an-
Hwer there is always a remedy against
injustice and oppression, if the people
will take hold of this matter. There is
n remedy in this ease, and one that will
he effectual if tukon advantage of, and
which will put an end to discrimina
tion and high twites of freights. The
remedy I propose is to come from the
Legislature of our .State, and if our
City* Council will appoint a committee
composed of members of its own body
and other prominent citizens to devise
and inaugurate some plan by which the
people in the different portions of the
State that are effected by these discrim
inations, will act in concert and demand
of their Representatives that the matter
be brought before both branches of the
Legislature, and pressed until relief is
obtained, by the passing of such laws
as will prevent in the future discrimi
nation and oppressive rates of freights
being exacted by these railroads. Then
and not until then, will we get relief.
The question of high freights
and discriminations is being agitated
all over the country. By referring to
the acts of Congress on the 8th or 0th
instant, you will find that Senator Chaf
fee offered a hill in the Senate of the
United States, compelling all railroads
to prorate with eacji other and prohibit
ing them from discriminating in rates.
This action shows that other parts of
the country have cause for complaint
against railroad monopolies. While I
do not advocate Congress regulating
such matters, still I believe that event
ually it will he the only power that can
protect the country against powerful
monopolies—railroads being the great
est. I think our State Legislature is
the proper source from which the peo
ple must look for relief, and if the
matter is fairly brought before the
body, I must think there are Represen
tatives enough in it not under the in
fluence of tho railroads, to give reliof
by passingsuch laws as will compel
them to make the rates of freight fair
and equul.
Some portions of the Western States
a few years since were suffering in the
same way, and the Grangers took hold
of the matter, and the Legislatures
passed laws relieving them, and, not
withstanding that every effort was
made by the railroads that money and
influence gave them to prevent it, the
laws were passed and tho Supremo
Court of the United States sustained the
Legislatures by deciding they had the
right to pass laws regulating freights
and preventing discriminations against
portions of the State where no coinpe-
tion existed. Why cannot tho Grangers
of this section act with us, as any bene
fits we may get by receiving equal
transportation facilities and rates of
freights on a parity with other sections
will result in u benefit to the planter
as well as to us.
1 regard it as useless to appeal to the
railroads. That has been done until I
am convinced it is a waste of time, and,
besides, it would be something new
under the sun for a powerful monopoly
to voluntarily relinquish any power it
may have, whether it is by might or
right, to draw from the pockets of the
people. The agitation of this matter is
not a new one. An effort was being
made at the time the Convention was
in session at Atlanta to have the subject
brought before them, but was aban
doned, I learn, upon the assurance of
parties connected with one of our most
powerful railroads (the Central) that
the question of freights was then in the
hands of Mr. Powers with full discre
tion to make such rates as would put
one city on a parity with other cities
and sections as would be fair, equal and
just.
The remedy I suggest 1 think is the
only one, and, if tho people in the dif
ferent portions of the State, who are ef
fected hv these discriminations will act
together, relief can bo ha l through our
Legislature and only from that direc
tion. Our Representatives are young
men of talent and energy. If nec
essary, I am in favor of calling
a meeting of our citizens and
instructing them to have this matter
brought before our next Legislature
and pressed; but 1 have no idea such a
meeting will he necessary to interest
them in the question, as 1 am satisfied
that they will take advantage of the op
portunity to obtain for themselves the
lasting gratitude of their constituents
by using every means in their power to
have such laws passed as will remedy
the matter.
1 do not think it necessary at this
time to give facts and figures to show
that these discriminations and excessive
rates of freights do exist. Ask any
of our merchants, cotton dealers, in fact
any, and you will bo told the effects of
it is felt in every branch of enterprise
or business.
In all probabilitythere will bean ex
tra session of the Legislature called to
meet in January, or at some early day,
and the sooner some plan is adopted by
which this matter can he brought be
fore it the sooner we will obtain relief.
1 think the appointment of a committee
by Council will be the soonest way of
organizing here. Rk.\.

worse roads than those of Harris coun
