T 1 e foil wing spo Gal dispatch, dated
Nashville, Tennessee, January 17th, ap
peared in the Atlanta Constitution of Sun
day last: "Thero is no doubt that tho
Louisville an 1 Nashville road has purchas
ed a o,ontr filing interest in tho Nashville
and Chattanooga company, by which that
road and its branches passes to them. I
havo this from Col. Cole himself. Tho
price was nmty-five cents, and throe mil
lion eight hundred thousand dollars worth
werebonght, Stevenson,Col. Cole’s friend,
commenced the sale, which soon turned
into a panic. Tho result of this thought
certainly to stop the present work on the
Owensboro extension, destroy the i resent
chance of building the Georgia Western,
and decline to ratify the lease of the Cen
tral road. Cole's directors wore to have
ratified that lease to-day, but did not meet,
the New York directors not coming. The
control of Cole’s road was bought for loss
than it would cost to build the Georgia
Western, and leaves no reason for build
ing that line. The lease of the Central is
the suppose cause of Cole’s friends aban
doning him, though it was rumored that
the purchase was made by r the friends ot
northern trunk linos, who were at Colo's
rapid strides towards competition. The
Louisville and Nashville people did the
buying, and tho stock of that company is
over par. Nashville is terribly excited an;j
indignant,”
Hon. Charles O'Conor, the great New
York lawyer, has written a long letter on
tho political situation. He regards it as
“absolutely impossible that any one called
a Democrat” should prevail at the coming
presidential election, for tho reason that
he could not ho elected without the vote
of New York, and the Republican majori
ty in the New York Legislature having
now tho power will assuredly take the ap
pointment of electors into its own hands
and thus avoid a popular vote. Honora
ble men in the party may hesitate at such
measure, he says, hut a colorable excuse
has been provided in the proceedings in
I Maine, and no party ever had such an op
j portunity an failed to employ it. For this
reason the venerable gentleman thinks it
useless to struggle against fate, and since
a Republican must be elected, ho prefers
Grant to any one else, since it is easier to
contend against force than against fraud.
We would advise all of the bourbon pa
pers of the South toread'tho able editorial
articles in the Atlanta Constitution, enti
titled “The Legal Tender Controversy
Democratic Tradition.” There is a con
servative tone about the Atlanta Constitu
tion that all good people throughout the
country must admire. The South would
unquestionably be better off if all her lead
ing dailies were like tho Atlanta Constitu
tion. Bourbon ism should bo frownod
down by all good people.
The Buffalo Express says: “Members
of Congress are busy speculating in stock,
tho various members liavinc SIOO,OOO on
margins. Hon. Archy Bliss, of Brooklyn,
is reported to have made alone.
The people who believe Congress should
have power to raise or depress prices by
inflating or contracting the currency
should note this condition of things and
weep." Ilangod if we didn’t think men
were sent to Congress to transact business
and not speculate in stocks.
The Legislatures of Mississippi aro still
balloting for United States Senators. Both
States should concentrate on others than
politicians for those important offices.
Tlio politicians of tho South should be
“sit down upon.” Send men to the Sen
ate and House of Representatives who will
not take up all their time in trying to be
re-elected. The South, by this time,
should bo thoroughly disgusted with the
politicians.
Tho Maine Democrats, Fusionists,
Greenbackors, apes, fools, and block-heads,
have been whipped out by the Republi
cans, who new have full charge of the
State Government. Somebody ought to
hire a “yaller-nigger” to take the Demo
cratic party out behind a "pine-sapplin’ ”
and give it a good mauling. It is always
acting the fool.
President Hayes on Monday sent the
nominations of several foreign missions to
the Senate. Of these, James Russell Low
ell, of Massachusetts, was named for En
gland; John W. Foster, of Indiana, for
Russia; Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
to Spain; aud Philip H. Morgan, of Louis
iana to Mexico..
The Democratic members of Congress
are paying more attention just now to
President making than they aro to the
business they were sent there to transact.
Congress is a big humbug, but we be
lieve the Democrats are the biggest hum
bugs of the two.
The South Carolina idea of running
Grant and Bayard as “solid union’’ candi
dates for President and Vice President has
advanced as far as the organization of a
club, mostly composed of ex-Confederate
soldiers, in Newberry county.
Col. John C. Nicholls, our Congressman,
says be is for Seymour, for President. He
was for Senator Bayard a month or two
ago. You will get the right man after
awhile, Colonel.
Dennis Kearney, the miserable fraud
and dead-beat of California, was in New
York at last accounts. Is there no way to
I get this nuisance out of the country.
General Grant will return to this coun
-1 try fiom Cuba about the first of April. It
i is not stated whether or not ho will bring
his boom back with him.
Senators Davis, of Illinois, and Muhone,
of probably hold the balance
of power in that body for two years, after

with an occasional sketch.
Colonel Carey W. Styles, of tho Bruns
wick Appeal, is one of the most vigorous
writers in the South. Tho Colonel will be
of great service to the people of this Dis
trict in the approaching campaign.
The Attanta Constitution requests all
Georgians leaving for Texas to leave in
the Constitution letter-box at the passen
ger depot brief summaries of facts upon
which it may base obituary notices.
Colonel James R. Randall has arrived in
Washington and his most charming letters
can be seen almost every day in the Au
gusta Chronicle. His letters are worth
just double the subscription price of that
excellent daily.
Nat Smith, the negro who was confined
in the jail at Jonesboro, for an attempted
outrage on Mrs. Gay, was taken out by an
unknown party of men, carried five miles
into the woods and hanged on a tree.
When found he had a shot gun wound
through the breast, apparently made after
he had been hanged.
Judge Wm. B. Woods has decided that
none of the laborers and maehanics had
any lien upon the property of the Atlantic
& Gulf Railroad Company or its proceeds,
because the remedy provided by the stat
utes of the State of Georgia for the enforce
ment of tho claims ns liens had not been
properly pursued. Another liek for the
poor laborer.
A special to the Augusta News from At
lanta says it was rumored in that city on
last Thursday that Dr. Stadiford, Presi
dent of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road, is interested in the lease of the M.
fcß. R. R. The dispatch says: “If this
rumor be true it will shut out Augusta
and Port Royal from the
Georgia Western Railroad connection, and
give tho outlet to Brunswick.”
The Albany Advertiser says: “We are
happy to announce that Mr. J. P. A. Du-
Pont, of the DuPont Okefenokean, has
been united in marriage to the young lady
with whom his own name was recently so
unpleasantly connected. In marrying the
young girl Mr. DuPont made her, and the
community which he scandalized, the
amende of an honorable man, and it is to
be hoped that he is forgiven, and that the
mantle of charity and silence will be
thrown over the unfortunate affair.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution telegraphs to that
paper as follows: “Georgia is represented
here in social life by Misses. Speer, Nich
olls anel Hammond. Yesterday accompa
nied by Mrs. Felton, they returned calls
to the wives and daughters of the Cabinet
officers and the heads of departments.
They are very popular and much admired.
Several complimentary hops have been
given these young ladies. In beauty, grace
and accomplishments they worthily repre
sent Georgia.”
