Mb. Editor: It ia a well known
axiom, that the priraiples of justice are
Jittle tedi-
it because
we see a similar case that will arise in
the ih* distant future. Our growing

A clear cuticepfiou of this simple fact
nn the ttfrfof the Rajli>»ad
authorities would have, dictated an
entirely different policy ou iheTr part

motive, viz: self interest. But in
plain view of this fact, and with the
;power to do so in their hands, i
ot neutralizing the feeling agaiut
'T>wd, they liivi- adopted' the other,
course and seeni to be trying by all
tneane in their power to aggravate and
increase the opposition of our citizens.'
As we cannot charge the Georgia Rail
road with a lack of business talent, we
are forced to conclude that they are
governed by a stranger motive than
that of self interest, and that a blind
thirst for revenge on our people, for
withdrawal of patron a-e, has coused
them t6 set aside their true interest.
The immediate cause of this letter
was the attempt made hy the Georgia
Railroad a few days since to reduce
Athens to a way station. For this is
the plain English of Mr. Superinten
dent •Johnson’s attempted discrinriua-.
tion in freights against her in the
meeting of railroad mauagers. Like
the attempt to which we^ formerly
attention, tliis.fdso, was failed
the Northeastern Railroad, thus
adding to the debt- which pur citizens
owe that road. Such attempts as these
can only result in intensifying, the
antagonism now existing between our
citizens and the Georgia Railroad.
If a merchant wishes to attract cus
tomers to hie store, it is manifestly his
best plan to exteud them the largest
amount of accomodation within his
power—when the customers are se
cured he will not allow n momentary
sacrifice of his interest stand in the
way of retaining them. Ail business
men understand, aud practice this rule,
and the fact of its universal adoption
proves it to be a wise one. Bat the
Georgia Railroad takes a different
view of the matter. I*, says in effect
to our people, here is our road, we
want to carrv your freights, and as au
inducement for you to give us your
patronage we wiil do all we possibly
can- with our large means and great
influence to iqjure your city, we will
do all we can to make you a way sta
tion.. Our mighty Hercules will bare
his brawny arms and strike blow after
blow at your growing wholesale trade,
nor will he relax his efforts until it is
completely destroyed.
The political ecououiist is
satisfied with effects, he investigates
the causes which produced them
From the chain of cause and effect
he dedaces rules for guidance in future
cases of a similar nature. Retracing
Outsteps then we find that, when busi
ness revived after the war our city was
left with an accumulation of capital
which could not be profitably used.
Under the old regime this surplus
would have been invested in slave
property. Uuder the new, this ave
nue was closed and some other channel
rnfist be found. Capital naturally
turned to trade as the legitimate arena
for its employment. At the very mil
set it met an obstacle which appeared
insurmountable. To maketradgjwof
itablt it. was indispensably necessary
that we should compete on equal terms
with other cities. Here was the Geor
gia Railroad's opportunity. If it had
realized the situation it would have
said to our people—start manufac
tories, open wholesale stores, you are
the natural market for Northeast
.Georgia, although the Air Line Rail
road may have temporarily diverted
some of yonr trade from its natural
channel; we will give you such
freight rate as will enable you to com
pete with other places and you will
soon get it back again. It is our in
terest to do this, every dollar you
invest in this way will add to onr
income as it will increase our carrying
U railroad, now a mere speck on'bori-

pursues its present policy, grow into a

—The French Free •> asons have
