TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 20. 18C0.
The Savannah Republican and the
, Central Rond.
Tho Republican, commenting upon an article
in the Telegraph, of the 25th, upon tho new
Railway consolidation, conjures up the phantoms
which appear to disturb him. He says:
Considering the editor wrote with “imperfect
lights," we think he has been very free, both in
slating facta and oxpressing opinions. Wo re
gret to see this disposition to .make hasty war
on tho Central railroad, and must say that the
assumptions above are not only unjust, but un
reasonable. The Telegbaph has no right to
pronounce nucha harsh judgment upon the Cen
tral Board, which is composed of as enlightened,
liberal and public-*pirited!men as hro to &
found in the State. Even though the proposed
chango might put it in their power to effect a
favorable arrangement for through freight, we
cannot see why such an arrangement should ne-
ceaaialo steps with regard to the local trade of
the Southwestern that would be inimical to ■‘the
interests of the people tributary to it,” or re-
'gardless of “the equities of the situation.” It
will be to the interest of tho combination to get
all the business it can, and to this end it must
act justly and with a spirit of accommodation to
the people, especially as it will soon have at
Macon two formidable competitors reaching out
their lines to tho coast.
What hostility has the Telzobaph to the Cen
tral Road or the Southwestern Road? Wo never
had and never expressed any at all. We want
to see them prosper. Furthermore, we do not
suppose that in their combinations to increase
their own earnings, and cripple rival roads, they
are actuated by any hostility to Macon or other
interior towns. They wish simply to protect
and advance their own interests.
The misfortune, however, is that their inter
ests, as they understand them, in connection
with rival routes, are not compatible with the
interests of tho people, and that is all that con
cerns us about the matter. It is not for the
interests of tho pooplo that the Central Road
shall obstruct, circumvent or control all other
avenues to the seaboard, and this they are at
tempting to do. They made a bold stroke last
summer to control the Savannah ant) Gnlf Rail
road, and whether they did it or not the Repub
lican can tell us. He approved that movement
/ although it would have vested in a single com
pany, the power of fixing unquestioned tho
freights upon produce of all kinds from tho in
terior to Savannah. The Republican thought
that would be a good thing for Savannah, and
a good thing for the people of tho country; but
wo do not think any other disinterested person
was of that opinion.
With tho question of a controlling powerover
tho Savannah and Gnlf Railway, still, so far as
we know, an open one, the Central next swal
lows tho Southwestern road bodily, qnd tho Re
publican thinks this is > good thing too. As a
citizen of Savannah, he may lie right in hia
opinion; because it is to the interest of Savan
nah to compel all produce to come to that point;
and it is of no consequence to her xjhat rates of
freight may be exacted from the fanners. But
nevertheless, a wide difference will exist on ftria
point between the Republican and the people of
tho country.
We, on the other band, want to see the Cen
tral, and all other roads, get fair, remunerative
rates for freights, but we don't want to nee all
the laws of nature and principles of geography
npset and uprooted in the attempt to monopo
lize traffic. We don't want to see tho vast
trado interests of the interior sacrificed in tho
effort. If the Central Railroad most advance
its interests at the sacrifice of those of tho peo
ple—tho people on ths other hand must pro
tect themselves if they can.

rights and privileges, defined, set forth and
limited in Gift charter which is tho fundamental
law of the company. The agents ho selects, as
his representatives in the premises, for tho
management of tho franchise, are obviously
limited in their powers by tho same instrument,
and r»u, without hi* content, no more divest him
of his franchise in tho company—his primary
control of its affairs—can no more compound
hia chances for increased profits—and retire him
from the position of an active to that of a sleep
ing partner in tho concern, than they can sell
him out altogether. That position seems to bo
too clear for dispute.
The next point seems equally dear, and has
been heretofore elucidated in these columns.—
The stockholder is one party to the contract
under tho charter and cannot be divested of any
of his rights, powers, duties, and responsibilities
without his express consent His agent cannot
bind him except within the terms of the grant
The people of the State are the other party to
the contract and it cannot lawfully be perverted
to uses, effects and results not contemplated by
the grant In granting the charter of the South
western Railroad Company the representatives
of the people did not contemplate that it should
be sold out in the interest of gigantic combina
tions to pervert the course of trade—to prevent
wholesome, competition — to destroy interior
marts—to confuse, confound and perplex aU
those natural laws of trade by which men are
induced to embark in business enterprises in
order to mend their own fortunes and improve
the country, only to find that by such covert
proceedings and surpluses as this, all their cal
culations are npset and they are doomed to
pecuniary destruction, in spite of the exercise
of a sound judgment upon all the known and
natnfcl conditions.
The Savannah Republican tells ns he is assured
by those who havo authority to speak, that tho
Central Company, by this arrangement, con
templates no war n^on any interest of the peo
ple, or of the cities with which they connect.”
Well, now, this is gracious assurance, as far
as it goes. The people should bo profoundly
obliged to tho Central Road, since it has got
them, for any promise not to be too hard upon
them.
Bat why has tho Southwestern Road sold out
tho people ?
Because it fears that its bottom has been
knocked out by tho Albany and Thomasvillo and
Gnlf Roads. And why has tho Central Road
bought out the Southwestern ? Because it don’t
mean to give tho people the benefit of other out
lets to the sea which Macon will offer in tho
Macon and Brunswick and tho Macon and Au
gusta Railroads. These facta are clear enough.
How, then, are tho people to be deprived of
the benefit of theso natural and artificial advan
tages, which God and tho Legislature and hu
man enterprise have put into their hands ? The
roads are consolidated so that arbitrary, unjust
and ridiculous rates of freight may bo imposed.
High rates whore tho people havo no choice of
routes and very low rates at competing points.
We shall not attempt to anticipate tho sched
ule. What will lie tho through rates on cotton
from Albany and ootton from Americas? What
will be the rates from all points on cotton to Ma
con, where it will meet competing rates, as com
pared with “through rates” to Savannah ? It is
true, the Central rood might, (if they don'tchooso
utterly to annihilate the ootton trade of Macon,)
give it a transferable through ticket by which it
might stop in Macon for sale and reshipment to
Savannah ; but without this, it seems to us that
the«otton trade of Macon must bo restricted by
the accessary operation of these through rates,
pretty much to such portions of tho crops of
Bibb and surrounding counties os come hero in
wagons.
The whole thing lies in a nut-shell—it is an
expedient to deprive the people of the benofit
of low freights resulting from competition, and
in this way tho designs of the Legislature in
granting acta of railway incorporation, and the
designs of the Almighty in giving ns other
seaports besides Savannah, and the designs of
tho people in investing inoney in order to com
municate with them are nil defeated!
When one thinks over these things ho is bound
to see they will not begin to do. They ore not
right. They are not lawful. They ore not ex
pedient. Tho people will not permit it. The
Legislature will not permit it. The law will not
permit it, unless wholesale corruption and bri
bery poison the fountains of wise legislation and
tho sound interpretation of law.
P. S.—Since writing the foregoing, we under
stand tho parties to this bargain claim the sanc
tion of an old statute to it,but this does not alter
tho law of the matter so far as we can see.

The Agricultural Department ban tamed its

returns show a high average condition of wheat,
and indicate a good prospect of an abundant
crop, if no casualties occur before or after tho
harvest It should be obnerved, bowover, that
tho size and succnlenoo of the stalk favors lodg

Rye, barley, and othor grains are generally in fine

latest reporta in regard to ootton are favorable.
The yield of small fruits is unusually abundant,
with a fine promiso for those coming in later in
the season. Peaches will be abundant in New
Jersey and Delaware—will be a fair crop in the
West, and a short supply only in some localities
in tho Southern States where untimely frosts
prevailed. .

PROCLAMATION
Whiisas, A treat safe guard for Republican in
stitutions is to be found in tbe zeneral dissemination
of knowledge among the masses of tho people; and
Whereas. It is almost universally the practice of
State Governments to relieve from taxation the cap
ital invested in material neceesarily employed in tho
printing and publishing of books, magasines. news
papers, etc., and
Whereas. A proper construction of tho present stat
utes of force in this State will not permit an exemp
tion lor taxation for capital so employed.
And in order that the General Assembly may have
an opportunity to enact a law specially exempting
from taxation the value of material employed in
printing and publishing; and to the end that no un
necessary hardens may l>e placed upon these valuable
and important public benefactions until the General
Assembly may have an opportunity of exercising its
wisdom in deciding this question.
Now, Therefore, I. Rnfns B. Bullock, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of
this State, and of the Militia thereof, do hereby, by
virtue of the authority in me vested by the 70th Sec
tion of the Code, issne this my proclamation suspend
ing the collection of all State taxes assessed upon the
value of type, printing presses and other property be
longing thereto, actually in use for the purpose of
publication or printing, until tbe next session of the
General Assembly.
Of this suspension the Comptroller General will
forthwith give notice to the Tax Collectors of the
various counties of this State.

The State Agricultural Fair.
Wo have no doubt that the Fair at Macon is
destined to be, by for, the finest exhibition of
tho kind ever made in Georgia. The Labora
tory Building, which by the kindness of the au
thorities in Washington has been turned over to
the Society for this purposo, is grandly adapted
to the show. Its grounds contain 140 acres and
the main building, besides numerous other rooms
adapted to all uses, has one magnificent hall,
finely lighted and over 300 feet long by eighty
feet wide.
We confess this courtesy of tho Federal Gov
ernment to our Agricultural Society, as it is the
only indication of good will we have received
since the war, is particularly gratifying; and we
have been informed that the Secretary received
strong assurances from the most distinguished
sources in Washington, that they would lend
their influence to the passage of an act of Con
gress ceding the premises to the Society in fee
simple, as permanen thcadquarters of agricultu
ral science and art in Georgia.
In this case, we hope to see a strong and suc
cessful effort made to establish here a School of
Agriculture, in which tho great principles of
national science, which tie at the foundation of
this noble pursuit, shall be taught to our
youth, and experimentally applied on the prem
ises. This is what we need in Georgia more
than almost anything else.
But to return to the Fair: The most ample
preparations win be made, and- we shall have
