A New York newspaper parades a list which purports to show the alleged offi cial defalcations under the various presi dential administrations from Washing ton to Ilayes. The exhibit, which we need not stop to analyze, purports to in dicate that the losses by official defalca tions up to 18iil amounted to $24,441,829 in a period of seventy-eight years, and that the republican stealages in fifteen years amounted to 814,800,7711. But the Courier-Journal very cleverly replies that there is nothing analogical in all this, when you come to think of it, even if the question of accuracy lie waived. In the administration! prior to the republican regime, tho oniyohanca to steal was through violations pflaw, while under the republican system the stealage was accomplished under the forms of law; and while the unlegalized thefts amount to fourtpen millions, the legalized thefts run largely up into the hundreds of millions. All official stealage is most convenient ly measured hy the amounts taken wrongfully from the people and expend ed not for the betiolit of the people en masse, who earned the money and paid it in taxes, but for the benefit of certain conspiring rings and interests. The newspaper referred to shows tlmt the amount of public money handled hy gov ernment officials from Lincoln to Grant inclusive wuh 825,000,000,000, againstonly $5,000,000,000 in all the previous 78 years combined. The handling of that money made fully as many millionaires as the big battles made generals. It cost the United States more to fight that four years’ war than it cost England to fight the battles and supply tho finances of Enropo in the sev enteen years in which she fought Napo leon Bonaparte. Tho republican methods are sufficiently exemplified by the fact that government bonds were sold in 18(44 at 41 cents to the dollar as currency bonds, and then after the bond market had been satisfactorily cornered and the bonds gotten into influential hands, they were first made specie bonds and then gold bonds, each change doub ling or thereabout the value of the in vestment. The sixes sold down to 41 in 18(14, and government bonds of that rate of interest, with 25 years to run, would readily to-day sell for 250. What was tho use of republican officials breaking the law to steal when the system of stealing by the help of the law was at tended with Bitch brilliant results? .Steal ing was then on a wholesale Danis, and eminently respectable. Only the little follows had to peculate in violation of law. THKIK MUST DIFFKUEBCH, For some days the newspapers tit rough- out the country have been engaged in discussing the amiability of the cam paign in Tennessee between Bolt and Alf. It seems, however, that they are not getting along so smoothly now. A Nashville special gives the information that the ovation given Bob in the demo cratic county of Williamson was in marked contrast with the reception ten dered Alf,, and made a line of Reparation between the brothers which, perhaps, made them more aggressive in their speeches. In the course of the discus sion the first exhibition of passion was made daring tlie canvass. It was after ward much regretted by both of the brothers and their friends. When Bob likened Alf. to a tomtit, which had been riding on flip back of the repub lican party, which was referred to under the similitude of an eagle, Alf. showed a little temper. Bob also said the only reputable thing in Alf.’s political ■areef was when lie once voted for a democrat. Alf. retorted that only once had lie voted for a democrat in prefer ence to a republican. That was when he voted for lr in brother on personal grounds, and it was very bad taste, as well as a breach of confidence, for that brother to refer to that act for the purpose of injur iug his t Alf.’s) political prospects. Alf. also said that had Bob been nominated first, he would not have accepted the nomination of the republican party. Bob kept his temper better than his brother, and did not afterward severely retort. We have been watching this fraternal and unique campaign with much inter est and with the hope that the same good feeling which marked its beginning would continue throughout to tho end. We had atmost begun to regard it ns marking a new era in political discussion in this country. One of tlie evils of our elective government and of party polities is that it begets discussions of a charac ter that do not serve to elevate tlie moral tone of tlie people or engender lasting respect for the candidates, but rather besmirches and befouls the record and the name of all who participate, and leaves a harvest of bad feeling and sourness uttered all through tlie sections canvassed. It is yet to be hoped that the unpleasantness between Boh and Alf. indicated in the dispatch will speedily subside and that good sense, good fellowship and broth erly kindness will again assume the sway in their mutual conduct and bear- \g. We know it is a very difficult matter to play with burs and not he pricked, and politics is regarded as a very pandora’s box of evils, out of which must come heart burnings and festerings and be- foulings of the ugliest nature. Yet that it must necessarily be 6o, we do not con cede. And we yet hope that the guber natorial campain in Tennessee will demonstrate to the American political public that decency can he the rule even in political discussions. We needed some such example set before the people, so that., taking that as a pattern, the principles involved might in future he the things for proper and legitimate discussion. A CARD.

I Office ov the RailroadCommission op Georgia Atlanta, Ga., September 22, 1886. CIRCULAR No. 78. I’rojKiHod UbyLIou of (’IttHslflcatUm. To the Railroad Companies doing business within the State of Georgia: The commissioners desire to call your attention to the following table, showing the approximate proportions received by railroad companies for two hundred miles on through rhipmeuts be tween, Hay, Cincinnati and Macon; and the local rates allowed by the commissioner* for the same distance: Proportion Local on through! rate for shipment 200 . 200 miles. miles. | 16 1 06 1 40 2 10 27 Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. Per 100 pounds. The above table of local rates is based upon the commissioners’ standard tariff. Some compau- nieH are allowed from twenty to fifty per cent.upon the standard tariff. In such cases, the differ ences would be still greater than those given. The classification of articles adopted by the Southern Railway and Steamship Association and the classification adopted by the commissioners appear to be about the same; but an application of the same classification to a through shipment and a local shipment, for tiny given distance, will clearly show that the proportion received by any road in Georgia on the through shipment is un reasonably below the amount received by the same company on a local shipment for the same distance. This discriminates unjustly against all local industries. A part of the fifth section of the act establish ing the railroad commission of Georgia reads as follows: “The Commissioners appointed ;* * ♦ shal make such just and reasonable rules and regula tions as may be necessary for preventing unjust discriminations in the transportation or freight and passengers on the railroads in this state.” In accordance with the requirements of this law, it becomes the duty of the Commissioners to call your attention to this inequality of rates and to give notice that, in the opinion of the Commis sioners, some action should be taken to remedy the evil. Either the rates on through business should be raised or the Commissioners’ classification, so far as articles manufactured within the state of Georgia are concerned, should be so reduced as to place the local rates within a nearer approach to the proportions received by the railroad com panies doing business within this state, on ship ments coming from points without the state of Georgia. A study of the two classifications above referred to, will show that nearly all articles manufac tured within this state are embraced in the classes alreadv quoted. With the object above mentioned in view, tho Commissioners hereby request all railroad compa- nies doing business within the state of Georgia, to formulate a table of classificat ion and rates, em bracing only articles manufactured within this state, and to. file the same in the office of the Commission on or before the 26th day of October, 1886, together with such personal or written ex planations as they may desire to present to the Commission, all of which shall have the earnest consideration of the Commissioners in their effort to arrive at such action as they may deem just and reasonable.
