Tide information will be received aa glad tiding. l.y the widowa and orphan, wboeefond. ware invented In Central railroad ah area at a time when the management of that corpor ation waa marked by liberality, pregreaa and enligh’enment. The bardahlpa there unfortunate people have had to .offer, and the agony of hope deferred, the diatram of poverty and thebumilia tion of want, they have been compell ed to endure, will be illy-compenaated by the declaration of dividend, in the future, but the little payment of two “dollar, and a half par .bare will be moat welcome to thoae who own a lock aa an inveetmant, and not aa aapccela tion.

How ttiia may be, we know not, but if there are any aneculatora no gaged in manipulating maltere lor the purpoee of ridding thrmaelvra of the atock of the Central rai road, they are to be congratulated on their ahrewdneas whatever may be mid of the mean, they employ. We ray they are to be congratulated on their rhrewdneaa, but, after all, it re- .|uiree no great amonnt of foresight to perceive that the Central rail- r*d can never prosper under ii. present illiberal and unjust manage ment. There are certain principle, un derlying every busineea—the busineaa of railloading, aa well aa the buainere of selling dry goods—that cannot be violated with impunity. It may require tact and intelligence of a special kind to interpret and apply these principles, or il may not; toil unless they are prop erly interpreted and intelligently ap plied, dia ater ia the result. This ia invariable. When a dry good. mer chant, presuming upon a monopoly, ia just and liberal bia patrons only when circumstances compel him to be, he violates these principles and failure ia the revolt. When a railroad, with ampler facilities and s larger mo nopoly, follows the example of the merrhant, precisely the rams result, ensue. Tbs culmination may oe long er delayed, but it ia sun; and when it does come it ia crushing in ita effects. The Central railroad las been approaching this culminathn for several yevra. la policy haa been illiberal, unjust, and narrow-minded. Presuming upon a power and an impregnabiV*- that no corporation can posses, it • c >uulry where the people bars been taught to love liberty and justice, and where Ihe law-makers are enlightened and patriotic, the Central railroad haa em ployed all the means at ita command to make itself odious to those upon whom it mainly relies for profitable bnaini support, and ita success in this partic ular has been notable. We have not the slightest idea that what we or any one else may write with respect to the intolerance and ob- atinancy which characterise the man agrmenl ol the Central railroad, will prove in tha slighle* degree effective Nor do we write with that end in view Fortunately for the public— fortunately, indeed, for the interests ol the stockholders of the rood themselves —the new constitution places the rem ade in tha bands of the people.and that they will proceed coolly, dispassionate. ly and fairly to apple it, no one need doubt who know. their temper or ap- pr< dates the paramount importance of ti c issues involved.

At any rate, they _are not badly off in Georgia, where, for several years past they have reaped the snbetantial benefits and enjoyed the material results of good gov ernment; end it gives n$ pleasure to observe that a spirit of br a>» nebs enterprise and progress, as neve as it is promising is developing amonp them. We have already, in an inciden tal way, called attention to the fact that a number of colored men in An gusts, Ltd inaugurated a movemen' looking to the establishment of a cot ton factory. S-'ine of the influential among them have already held a preliminary meeting, at which it was resolved to organises company witlft capital sU.ck of on« hundred thou ar.cT"dollars, and to be gin at once by making an effort to raise fifty thousand dollars. Fifty of those present at the meeting subscribed U the stock, and considerable enthusiasm as manifested. It is to be hoped tha* these colored men will succeed in their Hurts to establish a factory, and tha it will prove to be permanently profit* able. nueovi ‘General, how i about the umbel on ia the new conetitutlou to dealgnate a eucoeeeox to Gov Co quitt ia cam ol his death before the or* taxation ol the legislature?” •'Well, that is very idle diacuoioa.

This commit tee will look more particularly into oar coalmen ial relations with Mexico, and will also call for the diplomatic corree- pjadeoco between the two countries. The truth ia, this c mmit.ee is s pack ed jury, and Mr. Evarts in particular and the administration in general are ita victims.

The house com- miltee on fbreigu effdrs haa similar authority. The house committee or military affairs also tried to take a hand in tbe engroasirg subject. It proposed •nd a sub-committee to the Rio Grande to take testimony concerning the border troubles, but the house just before the adjournment for the holiday recess wisely sat down on the proposition. The trouble over the salt licks of San E xario will not probably bre* d war but between Mr Evarts’ desire to win glory for this administration and the desire ot Texas for war, right or wrong, we are on the verge of a tn uble that wouhf involve 300,000 men and tens ol millions of money. Tbe situation on the Rio Grande is substantially the that it has been ever since Tt xaa became a part of this country. Mutual raids have occurred ever since.

Four thousand persons were present from Monroe and the adjoining conn- ties, and manv from North Carolina. At 9 o’clock Monday night Hnnt ATTEMPTED SUICIDE by an overdose of morphine. His mother and brother, who visited him that n ght, probably furnished the drug. He was discovered about 2 a m. nearly unconscious, and by the aid of emetics and a stomach pomp his life waa aaved. But he had not entire* ly recovered from the effects when hang. A sheriffs posse of 56 acted as an I escort. He said privately he was guilty, but made no formal talk on the scaf fold. Hunt said he was prepared to die. Religiousaervices were conducted by Rev. CoL Tharp and Rev. Kelsover. rhe aseembltge was addressed bv Sheriff Warien, appropriately regret ting that he had to perform the saddest duty ot his life. A letter written by Hunt was read at his request, asking his parents and brothers to prepare to meet him. He uttered an inaudible wayer after bidding his friends good ly, and died in seven minutee, with little itrug tained stoJ AS AFFECTING ECENB when he parted with his mother, aged sixty.

Bar rooms were closed at the request of the citizens. Everything waa quiet and orderly, not withstanding the vast crowd. The body was given to Hunt's brothers, who conveyed it to the family burial place in tbe eastern portion of Monroe county. E ght months before tbe mur der, Jack Hunt, then aged about twen* tv, married a girl named Margaret Ann ~ * hter of Clem Davis, who was a tenant on Hunt's farm. The wife was only shoot sixteen or seventeen years of sge. The couple soon began to have bickerings, and in a little while Hnnt began to brutally chastise his wife on very slight provocation. Re senting this, the wife threatened re peatedly to leave him, and on THE MORNING OF THE MUBDEB, which was the 19ih day of Jnly, 1875, went over to the house of John Farmer, a mile or so distent. Mrs. Farmer was Hunt's sister, and while the families were friends, they were noton intimate terms. In the course of an hour, Jack Hunt himself came over to Mr. Far mer's. The latter had just taken a bucket and started to the spring.

Affair. Special to CStioago Tim*. TUB BELLIGERENTS. Washington, Dec. 16.—Although the Gordon 8 *Conkling difficulty, so far as regards the possibility of*any per sonal rencounter ia concerned, is oeU tied, the talk about it only appears to be redoubled. The protocol, as printed this morning, has awakened the live liest comments. Conkling, in allow ing this form of adjustment to be used, haa recognized the code as much as if he bad accepted a challenge from Gor don. That part of the preamble of the protocol which states that nothing would have come ef the difficulty had it not been for eraperated publications, ia absurd, for the reason that the gen* tlemen conld not find a subject for a quarrel in what is reported as taking place between them unless the publi cation was really correct. CONKLING would have accepted the challenge if given, but it ia understood by bis friends that his course would have been one of two: First, he would have armed himself and then read tbe chal lenge in open senate. The reading he would have accompanied by such in* salting comments as would have pro- yoked an assault from Gordon tfien and 45o I there; when he would have defended I himself. Hia Becond course would have I been to treat the challenro in such a way that Gordon would have been M1 , forced to assault him. Then he would ^ I have defended himself, and killed Gor- 4» | don if be could. As the matter now stands, according to the code, the gen tlemen in quest ion ar© in honor bound m I to resume all tbeir former relations aa *> I if nothing Dad happened. The arrange- I ment of yesterday is in strict accord- 2621 ance with the code, and leaves in the us I moat chivalric mind no vision of tar nished honor. GORD3N I looks to-night aa if he had not slept I since the executive session, when the 1 difficulty took place. He was placed in - , a terribly trying position. Senators I Morgan, Ben HiU, M. C. Butler, and 281 Lamar told him that be could do only ““ 1 one thing if he hoped to hold np hia head in the south again, and that waa to challenge Conkling. Mrs. Gordon, '*» j a handsome, black-eyed brunette, in* sisted, too, that her husband must chal lenge Conkling. Gordon is an extremely w I sensitive man. His prominent position jJI I and the necessary storm of obloquy 18* I that would be rained upon him and his ** I people for the revival of the duello ] here all weighed upon him. But in 'te I spite of ail this it can now be definitely »| wjj I stated that, as telegraphed last night. c ‘ 27 ij I the challenge would have been sent had 1081 aot tlie arrangement of yesterday been made. THE CORRESPONDENTS IN TIIE DARK. Special Correspondence Louisville Courier- Journal. Washington, December 1^—All ex-® citement in resj*ect to the Conxlingand JJ31 Gordon difficulty has died out. The I accounts of the affair which have ap- 7651 peared in the New York Tribune, New 14 *| I York Sun and some other papers, have been singularly false and slanderous. 5721 The malice toward General Gordon ia too apparent to render refutation nec* __ T eaeary. General Gordon has, since tbe 177 I occurrence, steadily declined to con- I verse with reporters on the subject, or 14 I even to correct the misrepresenlions 2M 1 which portray him as eagerly seeking t» I a difficulty. He waa on the floor I of the senate speaking to a privileged iw I motion, ana in no way referring w I to the New York een- toJ I ator, when he waa interrupted in a rude, in 1 disorderly and offensive manner by Mr. m I Conkling, who bore him a grudge on >7151 account of bis emphatic snpport of tbe iso I New York nominations. Even then. fill I 1*121 Gen. Gordon's language was measured SI I and dignified, and be very sensibly 7a I forebore to accept the Conkling suegea- 84i I tion of a settlement at once. What I source would have been pursued by rt. I him if the mediating senators bad failed , >181 in their efforts, it is now needless to *551 E* I .state; but all that the correspondents sn I have fetated woold or wonld not be done *m I is pnregueas woik. They literally knew ^ I nothing about it. As to Mr. Conkling’s .... >3181 plans acd purposes, it is fair to assume 267?.: 2651! 1721 j tbat they were equally in the dark.
