RATHER UNCOMPLIMENTARY SATIRE.
We notice that the Atlanta Constitution
copies from the Vic sl»urg Herald a most
perfect pen portraiture of the unblushing
villainy of prominent R nlicatl officials at
Washington, and doubtless, in order to
give poignancy to the article, the writer
satirically heads it “ Ben Hill.’ 1
Rather severe satire, this. Both, uncom
plimentary and indiscreet, in as much us it
is satirizing the true, the honorable, the
patriotic, in order to show up the vile, the
corrupt, the depraved. The Herald evi
dently had a double purpose in heading its
article “ Ben Hill,” and doubtless, wouid
seek to justify itself against the charge of
being uncomplimentary, under the idea of
the celebrated Swift, “that it is as hard to
satirize well those of distinguished vices, as
to praise well those of distinguished vir
tues.” '
Well, it must be admitted, that the guilty
never appear so guilty as wheu held up by
the side of the innneept.
A TIIENS, MADISON AND EA TON-
TON RAILROAD.
Elsewhere will be found a strong editorial
from the Savannah Free Press urging upon
the people of that city, the importance of a
railroad connection with Northeast Georgia.
We shall gladly uphold the efforts of Col
Oi ine, and will do what we can towards
arousing the people of Athcn - and the inter
mediate section to action in this important
enterprise. Now that Savannah is begin
ning to see the necessity of a railroad connec
tion with our fertile and most pri>ductive
Northeast Georgia, let the charter of the
Athens, Madison and Eatonton Railroad he
revived ; let our interest ami efforts in be
half of this enterprise he renewed and re
doubled ; let Athens strike hands with Sa-
Now that our long-looked-for Northeast
ern Railroad is soon to be completed as
far as the Air-Line Railroad, the all impor
tant question arises, to what extent will it
benefit Athens? The mere completion of
this road can by no means be considered
the »te plus ultra of our future growth and
prosjterity. Aside from the conveniences
of travel and trans|>ortation, which we, as a
community, may gain from jhi-* line of
road, the more material advantages which
are looked for as a resu t therefrom, de
pends altogel er upon the extent to which
we accept, appreciate, anil, through in
creased energy and enterprise, seek to
apply these advantages to an increase of
the commercial, in !u>trial and other inter
ests of our town. It must be remembered
that the advantages given to the local trade
of the country to be developed by this
toad, will be equally, if not more largely
shared by the smaller towns upon the Hue
of this road.
The advantages which must necessarily
i ciue to Belton, Gillsvillc and Harmony
Grove, will make them formidable rivals
for the strictly local trade of the upper
couutic* which, heretofore, have found a
market iu Athens. Again, it should be
liorne in tuiud by our business men, that
the Northeastern Road connecting with
tli'e Air-Line at Belton and with the Geor
gia Road at this point, which must inevita
bly be iu order to make our road of sell-
sustaining importance, presents Atlanta on
the one hand and Augusta on the other as
active com elitors o the jobbing trade of
this intermediate country. Trade, like
tradesmen arc fascinated with change, espe
cially when stimulated by superior induce
ments. Then, will the completion of the
Northeastern Road not only necessitate
iucrcased energy, enterprise and advan
tageous presentations on the part ot our
trading community, but, in a g eat degree,
must unquestionably give a new character
to our general and more important com
mercial interest. Athens in the past, has
depended in no small degree, upon the
local and barter trade from the country
above ns. As suggested, this will now find
inviting inducements nearer at home. Our
merchants then, must begin to look to a
I wholesale or jobbing trade wi.h the cuuu-
tuent are the paramount issues with the
American people, the only sure and certain
salvation of our republican institutions.
12. He comes of that type of statesmen
who accepted this goverment as an inheri
tage from our forefathers for the freedom,
protection and general good of the whole
American people, and not an institution. to
subserve personal aims and ambition.
For these and many more good and valid
reasons, what more fitting celebration could
be given to this centennial o! American
independence, than the selection of the H«m.
Tnos. F. Bayard as the uext president of
these United States.
Thu stock of “ fire worshippers” among

ext provocation. fired three shots at him. The

ach from which 3Ioj. Gregg has died since.
“Clarke” in the Augusta Chronicle says
“ an agricultural people do not need out
lets to markets in which they can buy.
They need outlets to markets in which
they can sell If the people of Georgia
were cut off entirely from the corn fields
and pork factories of Illinois, necessiy
would compel what interest has always
dictated as their true policy; and he who

the West in breadstuff and the like is their
wors enemy. It is wisdom to encounuige
production-—it is folly to abet consumption,
The idea sought to be conveyed is a good
one, but the remedy proposed is bad. Just
think of a country with no railroad con
nections with other important sections.
Rather an extreme view to cut the throat
of commerce to force a local poUcy as ne

ATHENS AS A DISTRIBUTING POIXT
No town or city in Georgia has so bright
n future as Athens, if we will bnt'proj erlv
apply our advantages W ith the comple
tion of the Athens and Rahim Gap Railroad,
giving 11s a Western connection via Knox
ville, with a shortened Northern ..connec
tion via the Air-I.ine Railroad, with our
connec;ion with t^hb Georgia Railroad at
this point, and then' With a connection with
tho Central Railroad rim the Athens, Madi
son and Eatonton Railroad, let us ^consider
f r a moment the impmtant po-ition which
Athens must necessarily occupy
Willi the above cited iiii]>ortaut outlets
and connections, can any one for a moment
doubt the great probability of our city be
coming, at no distant day, one of the nios;
important distributing points in Georgia, if
not in the South ? Po pie, merchants, busi
ness men of Athe: s, such importance given
to your city, though in the prospective, is
ne\ erthelcss, quite within your power. Let
us folly, wise! and energetically apply the
advantages we have. Let ns rest not until
we establish a connection with the Central
Raihond via and Madison Eatonton, and
then Athens will, beyond doubt, become a
distributing point lor all Southern and
Seaboard Georgia.
THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA.
WHAT HE IS THOUGHT OF ABROAD.
Our Charleston contemporary, the News
and Courier, of Thursday last, has the fol
lowing handsome notice oi.Gen. A. H. Col
quitt : “ Since tho withdrawal of Gov. Smith
from the fie d, the number of couspicious
candidates for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Georgia is narrowed down
to three or four, and of these three or lour,
Geu. Colquitt appears to have the best chance
of securing the uomination. We hope this
will be so, for many reasons. Gen. Colquitt
is uo ordinary man. Before the war he was
a member of Congress from Georgia. From
the beginning to the end of the war he was
in tl e field, and served with distinction.
Fcr years he has been at the head of the
Georgia Agricultural Society, and he is
chwely identified with the Southern industri
al end agricultural interests. Public offices,
without stint, have been offered him amt
declined. ’1 be popularity which he enjoys
is not that which is sought, but that which
follows after. Brave as Paladin, stainless
as Bayard, statesman, gentleman and patri
ot, what son more worthy and fitting can
Georgia find to be her Governor in this try
ing season ?
“ Iu what Georgia does the South has an
interest, aud we, at least, knowing her peo-
fie and grateful to them, watch their steps
with loving eyes. Colquitt belongs to the
South, ami bis name and tame are not Geor
gia’a alone. For this reason, and for the
pride we tiave iu him, we hope that the re
ports that come to us are true, and that
Gen. Colquitt will as certainly be nominated
as he will surely be triumphantly elected, ii
be become the standard bearer di the De
mocracy of the State.’’
The New York Herald pay* Gen. Col-
quittthefolluwinghighcompliment: “Thefiu-
ot the lot of candidates the purest in hia per-
so;ml character, is Allred H. Colquitt. He
comes ironi the proudest blood of Georgia-
hereditary gentleman and statesman. There
is no more illustrious name in GeorgiaVhLs-
t wy than Colquitt, and this Allred is one of
those handsome, sunny, well bred, capable
men that people single out by right of na
ture lor the lead and iuUt. The s-.al of
honor, the pink of chivalry, aud the very
character of trade upon the lilies of the
Northeastern, Air-Lims and Georgia Rail
roads. With the -advantage . Athens will
haw in a short liae pf tieights from the
North, and when our road is extended to
Rabun Gap, from the West, why should
she not compete favorably and successfully
with Atlanta and Augusta as a market for
all Northeast Georgia?
Merchants of Athens, we repeat it, the
building of.the Northeastern Railroad is
sure to bring strong commercial ct inpeli-
lion. Already your rivals, in view of its
early completion, are active in the field.
Now, in view ot these fuels, which must he
apparent to all who have surveyed the situ-
ati ii, does it not behoove you. notwitii
landing the cry of “hard times,** to begin
to bestir yourselves with proper efforts ?
it not highly incumbent upon our whole

A DOZEN GOOD REASONS WHY
SENATOR DA YARD WOULD
RE AN ACCEPTABLE MAN
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
We do not agree with the idea which
seems so general, that it is unwise aud impo
litic for the South to express her preference
in the selection of a candidate for the presi
dency. On the contrary wc deem it uot
only our right so to do. but eminently proper
that we should give our democratic brethren
of the North the benefit of knowing who
would prove an acceptable man with the
whole South. Thus laboring under an
honest conviction that there is neither poli
cy nor propriety in suppressing our
right and privilege to speak our choice in the
selection of our Chief Executive, and believ
ing further, that in the expression thereof,
we discharge but our duty, we respectfully
submit the following reasons .why - we thiuk
Senator Bayard, of Delaware would prove
an acceptable and sucoes-ful candidate for
the next presidency:
1. He bears a name which sounds well to
every American ear.
2. He ic the dese»udaut of a noble cheva
tier, himself a true chevalier.
3. He is truly an American gentleman
and “ to the manor boru ”
4. He is true to principle, patriotic of
purpose, able and honest as a statesman.
5. “ He is a consistent democrat, who has
never flinched nor wavered.”
6. “ He l.aa never made a political u is-
lake or miscalculation in relation to any im-
p< rtnnt subject-”
7. “ He would not receive the beck pay,
but spurned and refused it.”
8. “He is a man of such high honor and
robust integrity, that he is incapable of hesi
tation in any point of conduct which has .a
mural side.'’
9. He is eroioetly sound and conservative
upon the currency question, anti-inflationists
but equally opposed to any heroic treatment
of our financial troubles.
10. He bails tram a border State and
beinu free from the bias of sectioual prefer
ence or prejudice and beyond the control of
munied monopolies or corrupt combinations,
vnmld-prove highly acceptable to nU parts
of the country.
11. He holds that reform, retrenchment
