The Fort Valley Mirror Terms, - - $ 2 . 00 . 8. B. BURS, Editor and Proprietor. FRIDAY... ABRIL 9. 1SS0 Tho students of the University of Virginia have voted as follows on the Presidential quostion: Biyard 180, Tilden 26, with a small vote for Seymour, Field and Grau . The candidacy of Blaiuc and Ed¬ munds leaves Grant without any following in New England, notwith¬ standing the fact that lie is put for¬ ward as the especial champion of a solid North. The Fusioniats are developing unexpected strength in the spring municipal elections, and they claim, in. their new enthusiasm, that they will carry Maine iu September by 10,000 majority o.’rr the Republi¬ cans. It is said by learned men that Good Friday and Easter this year fell exactly on the anniversary of the events they commemorate ; that it was on the 26th of March the erucifiction took place, the 28th witnessed the tion. t -• For the year ending February 29th there was an excess of Ameri¬ can, exports over imports of $212,s 298,963. The balance of trade in our favor, however, is decreasing every month. Should the decrease continue at the present extraordi¬ nary rate there will actually be a deficit within a very few years. The New York Herald has inter¬ viewed two more legislatures, with the following result: Mississippi— Seymour, 40 ; Haucock, 22 ; Bay¬ ard, 16 ; Tilden, 9 ; Hendricks, 9 ; Thurman, S, and Grant, 6. Texas —Bayard, 35 ; Seymour, 34: Han¬ cock, 10 ; Voorhees, 10 ; Hendricks, 5, and Grant, 4. A special dispatch, to the Chicago Tribune says that prominent Repub¬ licans at Washington Lave been for some weeks aware that a movement is on foot to make a second Repub lican nomination in case General Grant is successful at Chicago. The movement is slid to have al¬ ready made substantial progress in Massachusetts, Missouri and New York. The colored brother from North Carolina occasioned some disturb¬ ance in the recent elections in In¬ diana. This was probably the re¬ sult of a new rebellion iu the south. The Indiana democrats—regarding the matter from the stand-poist of the worthy editor of the Burlington Ilawkeye—are undoubtedly making laborious efforts to re-enslave the un¬ fortunate negroes. Let us all unite to deprecate such efforts. Of twelve or fifteen counties in Iowa who have appointed delegates to the Chicago Convention, eight have instructed for Blaine. Of thirteen counties in Missouri who have appointed delegates to that convention seven have been in¬ structed for Grant, one for Blaine, two presumably for Grant, and three send mixed delegations. A call has been issued for conventions from each Congressional district of Wisconsin to appoint delegates to the National Greenback Conven¬ tion. Emory S. Foster, Secretary of the Anti third Term Committee, states that he has received assur ances of co,operation from Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnessota, Kentucky, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas and New York. The Atlanta Constitution suggests that “wherever there symptoms of Independentism, the Democrats should make nomina tions calculated to harmonize the party.” That should be the policy of the Democrats all under circam stances. - - A, correspondent of the Conyers Examiner has heard that Govern* or Colquitt will probably be elect ed a bishop of the M. E. church, south, at the next general confer¬ ence, and consequently, will retire from polities. Tha rules that gov¬ ern the general conference are of such a nature as to greatly interfere with the probability of this rumor. Murat Halstead is putting in his very best work against the third termers in Ohio. lie predicts that Grant would be swamped in that Statu if nominated, no matter who tlio Democrats might run. “The Germans,” lie says, “almost to a man, will cut Grant; thousands of them who are always roliablv. R> publicans will- t e found voting for Democratic nominee*. The entire body -of Jews are against Giant iu this cRy, mid you know they cast a large voto.

With these itiffit enecs in tho Republican ranks against him, w! at Impo could his gri u«er 4 have of hit whining tl o r.e r MACON DAILY HERALD We Lave received the first num¬ ber of the Macon Daily Herald, a new paper printed in Macon, by Christian, Sims & Co. It is a good paper and is published at the low price of $0.00 per annum. Macon people ara continually talkiug aoout needing two papers and they have now an Opportunity of giving sub' stantial proof of it. The copy wo have before us displays unusual merit and promises to bo interest¬ ing in noting all local news, as well as keeping up with the general topics of the day. The coming campaign, will bo a very interesting one and our people should keep posted on political matters. Tall Yaks*. -Tom Arter (Bridges Smith) is publishing a book for lit¬ tle folks. Something out of the usual line of Sunday school litera¬ ture, and being in the stylo boys like to adopt when by themselves in the corner of the barn on a wet day. It will be an interesting vol¬ ume for the boys and we hope re¬ munerative to Bridges. The pub¬ lisher, A. E. Seifert, Macon, wants an active boy or girl agent in every town, for the purpose of selling the book. Applicants for this place should write at once to the publish¬ er for particulars. The British Government is de¬ manding satisfaction from the Gov¬ ernment of the Unit'd States for an outrage committed on two of its citizens. It seems that some time in 1879 tiro brothers by the name of Dows went to Bell county, Texas. While there they joined a religious sect known as santificati.mists. This sect was in bad odor in Bell county, and the citizens notified the broth¬ ers to leave. They didn’t take the hint, and so a mob gathered and gave them an unmerciful beating They were then sent to the Lunatic Asylum at Austin as lunatics. The superintendent of tho institution re¬ fused to receive them on the ground that they were perfectly sane. Ti e brothers were British subjects, and the outrage to which they had boon subjected coming to the cars of the British Minist r at Washington, through a consul at one of the Texan ports, the British Government de¬ mands satisfaction. An investiga¬ tion of the affair lias been ordered The chances are that this govern¬ ment will have a nice little bill to pay. -...... ■ — aw - Another Indian War Threatened. —Troubles being threatened be¬ tween white settlers on the Upper James river, Dakota, and a Sioax band under “Drifting Goose,’.’ Sec Schurz has invited that chief, with other leaders of his band, to Wash¬ ington to talk the matter over: ‘Drifting Goose’ claims that the white settlers have invaded his lands, and he says he will die rather than go anywhere else.

These writers are to create a false impression. is not a p.rpor in the state that thinks Mr. Tilden an available can didate. They are as well posted as > auy correspondent can be. Some were inclined to advocate him, but they have since changed their opin¬ ion. It is impossible for him to carry hi3 own state, Nefp York. All are beginning to see that. He received 37,000 plurality in that state in 1876. Tammany has des dared that under no- circumstances will that organization support him, but will voto for any other demo¬ crat that mry be the nominee of the party, Kelley la-t year received over 80,099 votes when he was run - nin J for governor against Mr. Tilden s candidate. In case Mr Til den is nominated and Mr. Kelley S ets as tittle as 19,009 votes, democ¬ racy will certainly be defeated. Georgia will not sustain the nomina tion of any man whose choice will be a defeat from the beginning. Mr. is vertually out of the race, Sun. The Cuthbert Appeal says: “If people complain of ring rule they have only themselves to blame. By attending the primary meetings or elections and making themselves heard by voice, and better still, by vote, they can control their own delegations, and thus take power from politicians who are working for their own sotfish purpose. Ring rule is because of the apathy of fl* 6 gonSrid voters, for else how can the few override tho many? We want good, true men in office, who will fill their position with ability ami firmness, and gain reputation by attending faithfully ami intel ligently to duty, and not by soek ing popularity through influences that do not form a part ot a wise competent official. If tho people would act—wo moan the Bubstan tial closes who have much interest at stake-—indopondontism would not be hoard of, murii lews advoea ted. Rings cannot rule unless jluottgh the consent of voters. GEORGIA NEWS. Small grain iu Schley county is badly damaged. .

Editor. Your notice of the contemplated improvements in Fort Valiev read with pleasure. It is encouraging to know there is some life in our little town yet But it would be far more encouraging, if thd'4v,isi_ ness done in our town and sec tion. was relieved of the heavy bur¬ den of paying such a high .tribute to the trade centers or terminal points of our railroads, which trib¬ ute |is created, and sustained by the discriminations in the freight tariffs imposed. Let us have equal and just rates of freight, then our town would soou take her proper rank among the prosperous business places of our State. our people would feci encouraged to , improve •__ their ,, ■ property , m . a , stantial manner. But under the present state of things, it is useless to expect them to invest much money in ex pensive improvements, when om railroad magnates, by reasons their discriminations in freight tar¬ iffs, can raise or lower the value of such improvements 25 to 40 cent., and they powerless to help themselves. And it would be un¬ wise for them do so. The system of discriminations in freights as practiced by our rail¬ road managers, is doing more to retard improvements in our towns and villages along our railroads, than any other one cause. Our railroad “kings” seem careful to protect their terminal points, even if they have to freight goods to such points at con remunerative rates, and to care very little about the towns along their line of roads, except to rob them by high tariffs, to make up for this deficiency at their terminal points. They re¬ mind ns of the vagabond who ex¬ pended all his money in purchas¬ ing a fine pair of boots for his feet, and a good hat to cover his head, leaving his body clothed in tatters and rags. There is neither reason or justice in such a policy. By such a sy& tern we are deprived of mueh of the advantages of through rate-., or no through rates at nil. Trne ■ mi railroad magnates will, plication Fery promptly iuraish ns a through rate, so called, bufa how is it made up ? by adding a Itigh . local rate from Macon to Fort Val ley. If one of our merchauts de¬ sired a through rate on a car load of 20.000 lb of bacon from Lou¬ isville to Fort Valley, they would give him a rate of $162.00 per car, when S-50 00 of this rate is for bringing this car from Macon to Fort Valley, leaving only $112.00 for four other roads which takog this car the entire length of their roads being, if equally divided, on¬ ly $28.00 each, when, the S. W. road receives $50.00 for carrying the car only 28 miles. In such a case we think om - railroads could, with propriety, give our merchants a deduction, for they do not have to unload and reload a through car in Macon. Under the present system our merchants could have this car unloaded and then reload¬ ed for Fort Valley without extra charge. Again, under the present system, our merchants are deprived of the benefits of shipments by the car load. On this bacon they are charged 25 cents per 100 pounds, if 1,000 pounds or 100,000 pounds be shipped. This is not only true in regard to the bacon from the West, but the same tribute is extorted from us in our shipments of cotton to the coast. We have to pay a high tariff to Macon just as if the was there unloaded and re¬ listed and relisted. When we consider this tribute is extorted from us, on imports and exports, it to be a burden heavy indeed. And under such a burden, we need never expect to become a prosper¬ ous and growing town. Under this state of things, which we are powerless to remedy, we witness every year a growing wag on trade from our section to Ma. coti, carrying wagons loaded with merchandise and supplies, that our merchants should, and would hap die, but for this onerous tribute paid in excessive freights, and we need expect no abatement in this wagon trade, but a steady annu al increase, unless wo can, in y, nr-V-il p nnort p nnrmlh- i,i., ,n,1 managern to gtve.yts more feqmta ble and jiiBt rates oi fe’ :iglit fur our' unport'S and export,-, cease to tax nri to mok ■ tip fjr L-, rates gtw^fcY * , tc-mm . , p. . j - • And wo would not have oar run roads do our tjjpuuesft at n m re¬ munerative rates, but we should have fair and just rates with other points, equal charges for like work, is all ivo wish. Some express confidence in our railroad commissioners effecting this equality in freights, so much dosirod. Yet I have more contL dence in time curing tho evil. I (•minet believe that our railroad managers will much longer remain blinded to the evil complained of till over our Stale. I hope yet to see fair and equitable tariff rates of freight inaugurated by our railroad magnates.

Wynne, DeWolf & Co PROPRIETORS, COLUMUUB, GEORGIA- The World for 1880 . Democrats everywhere should in¬ the form themselves carefully alike ol action of their party throughout tho country and of the movements ol their Republican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contribut¬ ed greatly to the loss by the Democ¬ racy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls.
