a Treasure ffo unfair to cities
Tlio HpoAkor flchlfessed the HouRC'Upon 'Ctirngreisiri the 3kl Dislrict, andsugg^U .oa this ^feliminary contest, or * skirmish,
this measure. He depreciated the antsg-
lonistu gofiU6iuc.il sought to raise betweeu
iho country and "'tho cities. Eronj what
soino gentlemen snid, .oho might think
they regarded cities air being built for the
bonofft of thoir own inhabitants qnly, ond
were contrivances .to get the proceeds of
tho farmers’ labors. The cities wore bon-
clun.il to the' planters. It was in tbom
they found the best market for their pro
ducts. Ho illustrated very eloquently and
inly now tuo city ana tue country were
lunlually dependent upon, and beneficial
to eneh other. The planters derived ad
vantages from the cities which they ought
to ha willing to pay for. They had fire
tho benefit of the services of expe
rienced merchants, from whom they get
advances, nnd through whom their crops
were sold for higher prices than the plan*
L'oula get without their aid. Thes
ought Hot to oxpeot all these things
nothing. But the fault was not in tbo
Ww. The commission merchants were
determined to have compensation for their
SorvlcoM. they put this tax on the farm-
ern, and if this bill passod, they would
f iut it on iu some other way. Besides,
t * “
Ms bill was too general. It would ex
empt from proper taxation the produce of
men outside of Georgie, and deprive her
cities of a sourco of revenue they ought
to have. Ho hoped tho bill would not
pass, ns it could do no good, and would
certainly result in much harm.
Mr. Huge spoke against the bill.
The trouble seemed to bo that the agri-
oultmisl paid a tax lo support tho city.
This hnd boen tho way from timoimmo-
fhoviul. When tho consumer bought im
ported goods, ho paid all the taxes mid
duties^ The consumer paid tho city tax
on‘dry goods as well as on produco. Tho
merchant always puts on a per cent, to
cover his city * taxes. This had uTwnvH
been, done, and no law could prevent it.
This law would exempt from taxation tho
grain nnd provision merchants of tho
West. Why should this discrimination be
merchants were taxed? Atlanta was
spending hundreds of thousands to build
railroads to develop tho agricultural ro-
Hourcps of the country—Jj»800,00() to (ho
Air Lino,. to tho Georgia.West
ern, and a bill would soon pads to enable
hoi* to subscribe $1,000,<M)0 luoro to tlie
Georgia Western. Every man who par
ticipated in the enjoyment: of these privil
eges ought to hour his pro rata share of
tlie expenses.
Air. Cirlttoudon spoke in favor of the
bill at some lougtli, and hoped it would
puss.
Mr. McMillan disclaimed any intention
to arouse iui aid agonise i between the city
and tlio country, lie was proud of tho
growth of Kavanrnh, Atlanta, Augusta,
Mucou, Columbus, and tho other cities of
Georgia. Atlauta lias done much to de
velop his section of the State, but was
this a disinterested benevolence? Did
Macon nnd Atlanta aid these railroad eu-
Icrprifms for the benefit-of the country
alone ? lie would as a cilizen of Atlanta
or Macon lie willing to be taxed to help
build these railroads, to get the privilege
of taxing tho agricultural products they
brought to town. He wanted the vaii-
ruuds. wanted to get lvis products to town,
but did not want them taxed to death
whou they got there. The commission
merchants got pay for all they did for tlio
planters, nml in addition to this inado the
plimteJ-H pay all thoir taxes. Tho cities
aided culm prises, and claimed tho glory
of it, when tlio planters paid for it. Ail
tho tax enmo out of the produeor at lust,
aud lie hopcil the bill would pass, nnd
afford the laboring men of tho Htate a pro
tection against these burdens.
Mr. Richards called the previous ques
tion ami the call was sustained. Upon tho
fiassflgoof the hill, Mr. Murphy, of Harris,
called for tho eyes and uuys, und the call
wus sustained. The bill was passed by

There is a good deal of talk on tho
street* about a new sotiRntionnl political
combination. I know not how much
truth there in iu it, but ono hears it wher
ever lie goes, nnd some of tho parties to
tho movement do not hesitate to avow it
and defend it. Tho coinbiuution is in
Kiibstnfico nr. follows:
The Radicals propose to unito with tho
discontented Democrats in support of an
untbGrceley ticket iu Georgia, and to
give tlihse Democrats all tlio offices nnd
positions within thoir joint control, pro-’
vidod tho latter will aid in securing tho
electoral vote of tho S’tato for Grntit and
Wilson! ' Tho Democratic parties to tho
coalition are to havo the nominations for
GongrosM nnd the Legislature, aud such
Federal patronage ns would fall to Geor
gia in tho event of Grant's election.
Evon the electors will probably bo Demo
crats, who may be relied upon to cast tho
vote of tho btuto for Grout, and if not
for him, thou certainly not for Greeley,
but for some third porson. The poiut in
tho wliolo thing is tho dofoat of Greeley
in this Stato.
The Scheme Receives No Countenance
FnoM the Democrats,—I need hardly to
say that this movement towards political
miscegenation in Georgia receives no
countenance or support from those lead
ing and influential gentlemen among us
who have not yet obtaiuod their cousent
to support Air. Greoloy. Th© men who
are engineering tbo movement nr© with
out political weight or sagacity, and the
whole thing is bound to end in disaster,
both to Grant and the individuals con
cerned in it. No trno Democrat can be a
party to such a monstrous bargain. There
are good inon in Georgia tvho are unwil
ling to vote for the Cincinnati uomipaes,
but they would scorh all attempts to trade
them off to tho Radicals, or to induce
'Htefnlo obt*r into an unnatural ‘ amalga
mation with the vile scalawags, carpet-
baggers, and dusky supporters of Grant
andhis’police.—Atlanta Vorrevpmulent of

The landation of the “straight outs”
by tho Atlanta Hun and tho magnifying of
their meeting into huge proportions by
tho Atlauta Sun is a matter attracting the
most serious attention. We need not say
that tho meeting was really a small affair,
which is tho fuot. What wo desire to Kay
is this: tho Atlanta Hnn is doing more for
the oleetion of Graut„ tbo Radical candi
date for President, than if it hoisted, his-
namo to tho masthead. Mark tho tael,
that it is not nrutrul, but is building’up a
party in opposition to Greeley, mid, if i*
succeeds, will, onable Grant to carrv'tho
State. It says the meeting was u* most
g ratifying RiiccoKH aud th.’it many “Mem-
ers of the Legirtlattire were present,''
and mpuy “persons encouraging tho
movement,” who havo lieen counted for
Greeley. It calls itself a Do time ratio pa
