THE EXPRESS. jCedartown, Maroh 14th. JNO. W. RADLEV, Editor. The Express has a larger circu lation than any other newspaper published in the 38th Senatorial District Our Trip to Atlanta. Lust Monday in company with the prince of good fellows, Newt Wright, we wore safely landed in Rome by Flournoy Treadaway than whom there are but few better livery men. We were way-billed to Atlanta where we arrived in due season. Rnsiness being onr otrjeot, to business we im mediately went. Newt following the bend of his inclinations', we ours. It were useless to tell onr mission. When ever a news-paper mangoes out for business it is presumable that it is for advertisements and sub scriptions. Well, that wa« our b' si- ne8S and wo succeeded measurably well. We found Atlanta to be a live place. Evidences of energy and thrift can be seen on every hand. The merchants are hopeful of a good trade. They don't expect an untisu ally large trade, nor do they want it us unsettled as is the condition of finances. While there we visited the ceme tery m company with a Mr. Osier who went thither to find if he could the last resting place of a dear broth er who was wounded at Peach Tree Creek tight and died few days after ward in the hospital. We could not find it. How many “unknown” graves there are! The cemetery is a beau til u I spot of earth and contains the bones of hundreds of onr people who gave their all in defense of what they conceived to be right. Peace to their ashes. There arc sonic immense business bouses in Atlanta. We went through ‘from cellar to garret of Mess. Moore, Marsh & Go’.s mammoth wholesale bouse. These gentlemen did a bus iness last year of over a million of ■dollars. They have five departments: the cellar for leather; the first floor for dry goods; the second for notions; the third for hoots und slioeo and the fourth for hats and caps. They are clever gentlemen and merit nil the trade they get. We next visited the extensive re tail dealers,J Mess*. Chamberlain, Boynton & 0o. It is a cariosity to enter this typical bee-hive. Clerks •and customers all over the house. Every department is overflowing with bright new goods nnd they are Belling them, too. We found Mr. Boynton to he a whole-souled man. Thoir Mr. Chumbcrhiin wus not in -till colly. Wending our way around we run onto the whole sule whiskey house of John Jones, son of our fellow-towns man, A. It. Jones. Shepard says that Mr. Jones has a fine assortment liquors and we suspect that Shepard ‘knows; likewise does he say the same of the State Line distillery goods owned by Mr. Wm. Rich. Passing on up the street we were invited into the establishment of Mr. John Lago niarsino, wholesale manufacturer of plain and fuijcy candies vmd fruiter er. Mr. Lagohiarsino solicits tho patronage of our merchants nnd we trust they will share a portion of it «ith him. The furniture business is well rep resented in Atlanta by Mr. James L. Watkins. He will sell you a set of furniture on monthly payments. We must not forget to mention the Thompson restaurant. The best oysters we ever ate was served by him, and if you don’t believe lie ■knows how to bake salmon aek Fcivt Wtigilt,’ Wf,believe itipon onr soul Hiwt] InIiwI. ate a whole ope.: The host place we found was onr boarding honse. We stopped at the Wilson House kept by Mr. Keith. Ho is.said to keep tile best second class hotel in the city and we believe it. He treats one well nnd feeds well. Give the Wilson a call. Wc met in Atlanta two of ourciti- zens, Col. Tidwell and S. P. Shep ard. The Colonel was in attendance upon the United States Court. We verily believe lie knows every man in Atlanta. He placed 11s under last ing obligations to him for introduc ing us favorably to many of Atlanta’s best business men. To Mr. Shopnrd, too, we return our politest bow, and hope some day to be able to recipro cate the favor to both the gentlemen. Saturday morning we started homeward. Wc are under obliga tions to the railroad authorities for courtesies shown. For the first time we onme over onr road, the Narrow Guage. Mr. Vandiver, the Conduc tor, understands end attends to bis business in every particular. Home again'. Washington letter. A Rebuke to Democratic Senators and Representatives—The Yel low Stone. Washington, March 8,1878. One half the bills presented in Congress are in direct violation, ei ther in letter or spirit, ol the Cons!i- tution. These bills are prepared by people with special interests to be served, by public ollicers who wish for extended powers, or who have theories they wish to test, or by an active lobtiy which sees a possibility of plunder in every deviation from simplicity in Government. Every public officer is watched by an olli- cer, who, in his turn, is watched, ery Court in some sections of tl e Oiunlry is at once aided aid seized upon by ollicers, and all there spies and aids arc the unnecessary and vicious ■oreutnres of s system ol legislation not thought ol in this country before 1861, And which, if ever necessary, ceased to bo years ago. Every Department of the Gov ernment hue its secret, agents scut tered through every stale; forming an irregular nnd irresponsible body of men whose very employment sug gests to them the corrupt use of pow- ■cr It may he that most of those who will read this letter, have in no ap preciable way, except in the'amount of their taxes, suffered from this evil, but all of them may at any moment suffer. It .is u wonder that Demo crats m House and Senate content themselves with feeble opposition to new usurpations of a Republican nd ministration, and do not attack ex isting wrongs. Senator Thurman or Senator Bayard, or Senator Beck, or Representatives Glover, Ediu, Stephens, Springer, Cox, Lynde, Morrison, Potter, or any of tile hun dred other able men in Congress could do no better work for the coun try or thoir party than by a thor ough exposure of the changes that have been made in the methods of transacting the business of tho Fed eral Government, Exposure in tliis matter would at once force reforma tion. The Senate yesterday passed the hill authorizing the issue of a long bond for the investment of savings, which provides that, in lien of the 4 pvr cent, bunds authorized by the act of July 14 1870, the Sec retary of the Treasury issue a sum not exceeding *1-00,000,000 of coupon bonds of tho denomination of *26, '*60 and *100, nbd of rqiuil sitmi 6f each denomination, redeemable in coin 60 years from date nnd.bcaring interfst payable semi-annually in coin at the rate of 4 per cert, per un- num, said bonds to be exempt from taxation. The Secretary shall keep the bonds Tor sale at tho different sub-treasuries, Nntionnl banks a id money depositories of the United States, and shall dispose of them at par and accrued interest in coin or United States legal tender notes at their nominal vain It is of course impossible to say what action the House will take on the measure, lint it would seem that favorable action coiiM do no harm, I am indebted to Prof. Hayden for several years past engaged in sur veying the “Yellowstone National Park” for tho follow!; g information concerning it. It is the largest Na tional Park in the world. It was cut aside and dedicated ns a public park and pleasure ground by Act of Congress of Moll 1, 1872. It is silu- uted at the son roes of the Yellowsone and Mississippi fivers, in the Terri, tories of Wyoming and Montana and comprises a territory of 55 by 65 miles (3576 square miles) and its general elevation is more than 0000 feet above the level of the sea, and some of its peaks rise to the height of 10.000 or 12.000 feet. It derives its interest not only from its great elevation, but from tile volcanic char acter of the wliolo region about the Yellowstone, and especially from the two great Geyser Basins within its limits all the various manifestations of volcanic activity, except the fire- volcano, can here be found upon a grand scale. Ill addition to its vol canic characteristics, the natural beauty of the scenery of tile Park, is unsurpassed. Within this Park are the sources of the Yeiloivetonc, the Missouri, Snake river, Green riv er, and Wind river. The Yellowstone lake, 300 feet deep, is the most beau tiful lake in tho world—a gem set among the mountains. The lake has an area of 15 by 22 miles, nnd an al- titilde of 7488 feet, and u circumfer ence of376 miles, being the largest ‘ ,r "» T body of water in the world at that elevation. The mountains that hem the vnlleys on every side, rise to the height of 10.000 and 12.000 feet. Here you can tine the salmon trout (which exist in great numbers) from the coo) waters of the lake, and without leaving your tracks, cook AVI'It’ AD VER Tl SEMEN TS. them in the boiling water of a hot spring.
