S. B. BUBS Editor and Proprietor,
FRIDAY. .. APRIL 23. 1880.
Will Oppose Grant. —Mr. Bing¬
ham, editor of a leading Republi
ean paper in Michigan, has written
a letter that has created quite a stir
in Washington among Northwes¬
tern Republicans, stating that “if
Grant is nominated 15,000 Repub
1 leans in that State will bolt, and
that Michigan and Wisconsin will
become doubtful States.”
The resolutions adopted by the
Massachusetts Republican Conven¬
tion are noticeable for the absence
of everything of a “bloody shirt”
nature. They “deplore the exist¬
ence of sectional strife and animo¬
sity, and of parties bound by terri¬
torial lines.” This is a new depar¬
ture lor a political convention.
The most piteous howl yet rais¬
ed for the third term comes from
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. With
a pathos that is awful in its depth
and tenderness, that journal says
of General Grant, that Illinois
“would sink into contempt were it
{o so far forget itself as to join
hands with any man—we do not
care what his gifts —to humiliate
and humble the battle-scarred hero
who gave life to the country in its
direst extremity.” This is the first
we ever heard of Grant’s scars. It
is true that he cheerfully gave the
lives of many of his fellow citizens,
as Artemus Ward did tho lives Of
his jvife’s relatives, to tho Union
cause, but that is no reason why
he should be President for life.
Mr. C. R. Jolmson, census su¬
pervisor of the Fourth district, an¬
nounces that he is ready for appli¬
cations for enumerators from the
following counties: Baldwin, Blob,
Butts, Campbell, Car-roll, Clayton,
Coweta, Crawford, Douglas, Fay¬
ette, Harris, Heard, Henry, Jasper,
Jones, Meriwether, Monroe, New¬
ton, Pike, Putnam, Spaldiug, Tal
bot, Troup, Twiggs, Upson and
Wilkinson.
Ladies are eligible to tbe posi¬
tion of enumerator. All applica¬
tions must be made in the hand¬
writing of the applicant, and the
place of birth and legal residence
also must be given. Mr. Johnson’s
address is Griffin, Georgia.

More Enumerators Needed
We learn that, in accordance
with instructions received yester¬
day, the supervisor finds it necessa¬
ry to appoint a much greater num¬
ber of enumerators than he antici¬
pated. The fewer the days occu¬
pied in taking the census the fewer
the changes in the population dur¬
ing the time, and the more accurate
the result. Hence, the census su¬
perintendent has decided on smal¬
ler subdivisions than the law re¬
quires.
As each enumerator must live in
his subdivision, it will be well for
every applicant to send in the
name of militia district or city ward
in which he resides. The supervis¬
or thinks an active man will earn
about $3 a day as enumerator.

Attorney-General Ely
Sometimes it is a very great treat
to visit the Supreme Court and hear
the learned Attorney plead causes
before the august tribunal.
The arguments made in the case
of the State vs. The Southwestern
Railroad Company before the Su¬
preme Justices were very able.
General Toombs and Attorney
General Ely represented tho State,
and General A. R. Lawton and
Judge R. F. Lyon, contra.
As a matter of deserved compli¬
ment to the industry and legal tal¬
ent of the Attorney General, we
quote aremark made by an emi¬
nent ex Judge:
“The brief presented to the Su¬
preme Court by Attorney-General
Ely in the case of the State against
the Southwestern Railroad Co., (in
my opinion) was as able as any ev¬
er argued before the Supreme Court
of Georgia.—Crawfordville Demoa

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
We have never been able to see
the wisdom of our Legislators in
establishing a railroad commission,
nor have we yet seen, nor do we
expect to see, any good resulting
from said commission, In our
opinion it is simply another one of
those numerous sinecures, which
are becoming so prevalent in our
government. State and national,
made for the pensioning of parti¬
sans and as a reward for service.—
However, we hope that wo are in
error, and that some good may re¬
sult from the law, which might
have been more effective had it
been more simple ; have provided
against di?crimination, and estab¬
lished penalties, at common law,
for the same.
After several months and much
expense, which seems to be only
commenced, (for the commission
seem only to make rates to undo
them again—advertise at large ex
pease, one day, and the next re-ad
vertiso a suspension or change,) we
are yet to learn of the first benefit
derived from the action of the syn¬
dicate.
We do not concur in the idea of
one party regulating the business
of another party, in the first place,
and believe the Legislature made
an error when they went beyond
their plain right to prevent dis¬
crimination, which is the only evil
the road can do us ; but as the law
has been made and is now in ope
ration, the officers provided to reg¬
ulate tariffs, etc, we are getting anx¬
ious to see some good result from
it. If the commission does not
improve on what they have done
so far, very soon, wc think it a
good idea to abolish the commis¬
sion and repeal the law.
As pertinent to this question we
direct the attention of the commis¬
sion and our readers to a commu¬
nication in another place showing
tlu^discrimination towns the southwestern made against road. our
on —
Here is a tangible evil which, if this
commission will remedy, we shall
give them credit for.. Let them
quit figuring on iinpraeticables, for
they do not how what it costs to
carry freight, as circumstances gov
era that altogether, and give their
attention to the evils of unjust and
hurtful discriminations- This can
be easily prevented without inju¬
ry to tbe railroads.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to say that we do not sympa
thise with the hue and cry agains t
railroads. We consider them of
great benefit to our people. They
are not soulless corporations sim¬
ply, but property, and a large part
of the stock is owned by widows
and orphans, and is made a means
of subsistence. That railroads are
sometimes mismanaged is unfor
tunate, and is one of the evils our
commission should correct.
Me. Educe :
Will you allow me to call atten¬
tion of the Railroad Commissioners
to a few facts brought to my mind
by one of our most enterprising
business men, viz: It is not so
much the rate cf charges of our
Railroads that hurt us, as the
awful discriminations made against
certain places aud by certain Rail¬
roads.
car
from Cairo to any point on the
Central Railroad, via Macon—
whether 10 miles or 150 miles—is
33 cents per hundred, and yet corn
shipped via Macon to this point
on the Southwestern Railroad is
63 cents per hundred.
The two roads have no compet¬
ing’ lines and both are under the
same management. A car load of
Bacon shipped over the AL & W.,
Railroad, from any given point in
the North and West—will be
charged, for passing over tho said
road, $1G 00, distance of 101 miles,
and on the same car load fx‘om Ma
con to this point, Fort Valley, 29
miles, we have to pay $50 00. Both
roads are under the same manage¬
ment.
Would it not be well for the
commissioners simply to say there
shall be no such discriminations,
and let the railroads have a living
tariff.
The figures and points are gath¬
ered from the aforesaid business
man and I presume he is able to
establish the same.
Respectfully, Valley.
Foet
Fiee in Knoxville. —On last
Monday morning, the store of Drs.
Barron & Jones, of Knoxville, took
fire on the roof, but was not scris
onsly damaged, as by tearing off
some shingles and the free use of
water it was extinguished.
A cotton factory is soon to be
erected in Cochran.
U. M. Gunn. —In the last Homo
Journal appears a card from one U.
M. Gunn, who takes exception to
our remarks made last week in ref
erenco to his predilection for litiga¬
tion. The card is so apparently the
result of a depraved mind and ebu
lition of nasty temper, that we
would not notice it save for several
grave and easily refuted untruths
which it contains. These may be
intentional or not; we will give it
the most charitable construction and
say that Gunn was mistaken or mis¬
informed. In the first place Gunn
was a subscriber to tho Mirror when
we took charge of it. His subscrip
tion ran on for nearly a year and a
half, when we dunned him for it.—
He very readily paid up for the year
and unexpired half year, and re¬
quested us to discontinue when the
time was out, as he had so much
law business on hand he could not
find time to read it. As soon as the
time paid for expired we promptly
discontinued the paper, and we as
sert, and will prove by post master,
if necessary, that he never refused
to take it out of the office or re¬
turned it to us once. This one oc¬
casion was the only time Gunn ever
alluded to the paper in any way,
and we presume, if we had not ask
ed him for pay he would have re¬
ceived it up to this time. So much
for his effort to contort our article
into revenge. He must have small
ideas if he thinks the loss of profit
on $2 subscription would influence
us to that extent.
Again he states that we were
clerk of the grand jury and incor¬
porated the judges charge in the
presentments for tho purpose o£ in
creasing our publication fee. This
is palpably untrue, and a grave re¬
flection on the jury whom lie thus
charges as abetting us in wrong-do¬
ing. Mr. Killeu was clerk and we,
as a member of tho grand jury,
wrote only a small part of the pre¬
sentments. If Gunn knew anything
about grand jury proceedings he
would know that various commit¬
tees wrote the presentments, which
was the case in this instance. As
regards incorporating the judges’
charge we were in no way responsi¬
ble. As one of the jury we were
approached by a prominent officer
of the comity, who said ho had been
requested to ask the grand jury to
incorporate the charge in the lynch¬
ing case, in our presentments. Ws
said to him that we would bring the
matter before the jury. We did so
and also stated that it would mate¬
rially increase the cost of publica¬
tion, but as there was considerable
feeling in regard to the matter, tho
jury unanimously ordered it incor¬
porated. We said to the judge
that we had been asked to incorpo¬
rate his charge, th it it was unusual,
but the jury had decided to do so.
He said the jury had the right to do
so if they saw fit. The members of
the grand jury will bear us out in
these assertions, and thus falls to
the the other
As these charges are the only
thing worthy of 'notice in Gunns'
card, v. r c shall simply say that if ho
had come to us in a gentlemanly
manner and satisfied as we had done
him injustice, weshould have cheer
fuby made the amende. He says
he has never consumed the time of
a jury have more than one hour ; if so ’
we been grievously misinform
ed. Of this issue the people of the
county can judge, as we, of our own
knowlodge, know not to the contra¬
ry. Our remarks were made with
no ill-will to Gunn, but more in
pleasantry than otherwise, and as a
result of a conversation heard on
the streets, in winch it was plainly
stated that Gunn consumed the
time of the court a good deal in
his cases. As regards the case
mentioned, of course we could
mean no reflection on Gunn for de¬
fending a criminal prosecution, and
w e stated that the jury were out
only a few minutes, and returned,
as we think a righteous judgement.
Mr. Gunn appears to give con¬
siderable attention to the utter¬
ance of an “obscure weekly sheet.’’
It is a wonder that he did not
spell think it “weakly.” that lie even seems
to our utterance will go
“out to the world'’ Wo make no
pretence circulation of having such an im¬
mense and hope that
Gunn has not been damaged a cent.
His reputation made during a life
long residence in the eounty ought
to withstand so small an allusion
from such an obscuie source, i£ it
does not, he is not as big a Guru
as we thought him.
Seriously, we had no intention of
doing him any injustice, and are not
satisfied yet that we did. Should
he fulfill his threat aud take the
flatter into court, under the pres
ent aspect of the case, we are satis
fled the jury would return a verdict
about thus:
Gunn vs. Burr -Libel—We, the
jury, find that gun went off half
cocked and damaged a bur. Ver¬
dict for defendant.
Lost Mule, —Henry Irvino lost
his mule last week in Perry, but
