and other loealMaa below Lumpkin, aloog
•he line of lha Balnbridge, Cnlhbert A
Colnmbna Railroad, then la oodiepoaitton
whatever to give Oolnmbna lha “cold
►boulder" iii regard to the axtaaatoa of
the road. The proposition to atop it ot
Lumpkin, or to divert it to CafMU or
Ilawkinaville, la exelnatvelj a notion of
people in Lumpkin and tie vicinity. The
Direetorn, who have the deeiafon of the
question until Inatrnotad bp the atoek-
holdera, stilt want to build the toad to
Cotumbua, and to bmildHat onaa. They
deal re, above all thlopa, that Ootaabna
ahould aubetantlally maaifeat eaeh an in-
lareat in tbe road aa will warrant than in
commencing work of CMr an if and harry
ing ita completion. They contemplate with
internet the connectiona thatwaare about
to make with the great marketa of tba
North and Want, and appreciate tbe ad-
vantagea which a direct ooauaaalealion
with Oolnmbna, aha having each ooesec
tion r, will give them. They do not aaa,
for inataoee, why the trade of Oath kart
ahould go to Macon, 1th milea diatant,
when It oonld, by the axtenaion of tbs
Balnbridge, Cuthbart A Colnmbna Hail-
road, reach Columbus, aa good a market,
by a road of UO milea; nor la the advaa-
taga of going to Atlanta by way of Maoon,
220 miles, apparent to them, when they
could reach Atlanta, via Colnmbna, In
1211 miles. Tbe people of Lumpkin—still
nearer to Columbus, and still farther from
Macon and Atlanta by tba Hontfcwsatera
or Hawktnsvitla routs—may aaa some
advantage In elbowing around Oolnmbna,
bnt tba people on the route below them
are not yet able to see it.
At the sumo time, the people along tbe
lower section of Iho road do oomplaia of
tho apparent apathy of the citlians of
Colnmbna oonoerning it. They do not
fully apprehend the neoeaaitleu that hava
constrained Colnmbna to look at onoa to
her other oonnectioua and to strain evary
effort to improve and extend them, both
for her own benefit end for that of tba
poopla below us, whoa# trade we hope to
regain by making Oolumbua their beet end
moat aooculble market. We hope that a
better underatanding of thocc matte ra will
Boon be effected, end that then will be
a boarly co-operation in axpadiilng tba
original plan of the autarpriaa. The
Albany connect ion need not interfere witb
it in the least, but rather be made to
facilitate it.
We have encouraging reports of tba
progress of the work below end immedi
ately above Onthbart. The Roginoor oorpa
commenced tbe loeation of ths road north
of Ootbbert on Monday last, and by naxt
week a large foroe will ba sent to work ou
that section. The Directors hops to be
able to roach Lumpkin by tbs 1st of dan-
nary next. A telegram from New York,
dated Tuesday last, announced that a
shipment of Iron for ths rood had bean
made, and would ba followed rapidly by
saongh to finish it to Lumpkin. This
Indloates energy and progress—more than
our people at this end of tba lino wars
aware of. Wo hope that our cltiaena will
now realise the fact that the iron horse
it romiutj through a country that haa
never heard hia startling snort before- a
oonntry whose trade naturally belongs to
na, and can ba regained by onr taking to
ouraelvea the advioe that Hercules gave to
the nulled wagonar.
Tba New York lltrald anticipates a
very acrioua disturbance of old party or-
ganiaationH, and perhaps of onr existing
social conditions, by ths Labor Reform
movement. It peroelvee in it tha ele
ments of a great revolution, arraying
labor against capital; refers to its infln-
cuoe iu tha late New Hampshire eleotion,
and to its probably fullar exhibition of
strength in tha approaching Meaanohu-
eetle election ; end oonolndea: “In any
event, after November, 187*, we ahall
hare the beginning of a new political
agitation In this country which will hardly
slop short of the greatest and most radi
cal and swooping revolution in the history
«r the world, and we ahall ba fortunate if
we eaoape another general civil war in
passing through this approaohing revolu
tion. Much are the aigna of the limes,

All day jenterday wax couanmed in tho
argument before Judge Butt, of the case
of the State against N. P. Hotchkiss, for
mer Auditor of tbe Slate Hoad, aud
charged with cheating and defaudiug the
State out of a comadoiable auiouut of
money.
Capt. R. P. Howell and Col.’Bleckley
made very able uuU toiling apoechea iu
bchult ol the prosecution, wiuie Gen.
Gartrell aud Ballou Thrasher were elo-
queut in the defence.
The diMcussion developed Do new
points. It 1r evident that the biggest
kind of thieving has been going ou, aud
that tbvfto preliminary trial* are merely
tireakiug tho ice a* it were for a future
dive.
The more the rndter in alirred, tbe
londc-r it hiuoIIh, and we dare say that be

will be implicated in this far-famed Stale

It ba* certainly tha* far developed Iho
most flagrant and dowurighi robbery fcver
perpetrated upon an honest folk.
Mon, whom everybody waa willing to
» were honest, and who were far
veu meddling with *uch a thing as
bbery ha* exposed, are pro von to be
to uh*t in veals of the first water.
This is emphatically an instance where
bi^ves have fuiien -out, and we are satis
fied if bouent folks don’t come by thair
dues in the matter, that they will see how
a great many men, who have heretofore
pas*e«l as honest and respectable, have
been guilty of the worst kind of thieving.
The farther the invesHgttiou proceeds
rt*. the deeper we cun see into the villainy of
•in- | this State itoad business; and we predict
i,hi i th.il when these old thieves and cheats
in, are forced i.iio daylight, that they will
bring to tho surface with thorn s Lost of
miuor culprit* whom the world knows
not hi tig oi at present, bnt whose appear
ance will cause just indignation ntuong
the more bonc*t and respectable portion
of the people shorn they h-tvo thus Hu
ge mtly wad systematically robbed.
Auditor Hotchki** was first allowed
bud in me sum of $0000, but as thiH ap
peared to be too large, it Was reduced to
with the verbal understanding
that Le would be immediately arrested
upon auolher and similar charge.
The latter arrest was made, and tbe
Auditor, waiving ull ex.imiuatiou, waa
bound over in a similar sum to appear at
