R. R.—The to go by
Bowdon.
At a meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the S. G. & N. A. R. R. On the
7th inst., at Newnan, we learn that
Judge N. Shelnut* £n<3 Jno. B. Me
Daniel Esq. of Bowdon, were present,
as representatives of that thriving lit
tle town, to ascertain definitely the in
tentions of the Board in reference to
it, and that the following proposition
was made by the Company and ac
cepted by them upon the part of Bow
don: That the Road would run by
Bowdon, provided the Bowdon people
would paydown $20,030 for stock,
and do the grading between here and
that point, taking also two thirds of
that in stock.
We also learn that it is the inten
tion ot the Company, to continue the
work on beyond this place at an early
day, towards its other terminus, wher
ever that may be, no one it seems
knowingdeflnitely at this time, though
it is thought, this .point will be decid
ed by the location of the Southern
Pacific R. li. which it is hoped will be
some time soon.
We congratulate cur Bowdon
friends at the flattering pfofipect of se
eming railroad facilities, ana hope they
will have no difficulty in complying
with the proposition of the Company.

What is Guano? —lt has been
generally supposed that the guano
deposits ra the Chinch a islands were
the excreta of birds, but now Dr Ha
bel and Professer Edwards suspect
that they are made up of the bodies
of decayed animals and plants, most
of which are of marine origin. This
supposition rests on the fact that the
anchors of ships moored near those
islands frequently bring gtiano to- the
surface.
The Supreme Court of Tennes

that the lease or sale of the railroad
to other parties did not affeetthe rights

AYe have not, since the close of the

consented to split rails, and fences have
been repaired extensively.

generally are working well and cheer

We discovered a prevailing disposi

as a purpose to make “ heap upon

The Gauge RaLw^y.
Having given the arguments in fa.
vor of the narrow gauge as the means
of development, we will now give
those in favor of the broad gauge, in j
order that our readers may decide in
telligently upon the gauge
as applied to proposed lines from this
point. All will admit the importance
of the question, as connected with the
future of our city hence no one can i
possibly object to a full discussion of
the subject.
The leading argument in favbr of
the broad gauge for our proposed lines
of railway is a uniformity of gauge ,*•-»-
thereby avoidingthe transfer of freights
and passengers at connecting and ter
minal points.
This continuous unbroken gauge is
an advantage in the transmission of
through freights which the narrow
gauge does not nor cannot possess un
til it has been so fai extended as to
become a general system.
That they are well adapted for local
purposes there can be no doubt, and ,
as the system is extended it is not im- i
probable that they will take the place !
ot the broad gauge, or in other words
as their merits* namely small eo*>t and
low rates, are fully understood and ap
preciated, that many of the broad
gauge lines will be changed to narrow
gauge. But the importance of a con
tinuous unbroken- gauge should, not
be overlooked, especially when we take
into consideration interest beyond us
as well as that of the road itself.
But the interests beyond us and in
a measure foreign to us, and that of
the railway, although, identical, may
not be, in fact are not, in unison with
those of Atlanta.
If the several railways having ter
mini in Atlanta were each of a differ
ent gauge it would benefit us largely.
VYith this view of the case, if our
proposed line be built broad gauge,
thereby forming a continuous line wit h
those east of us, it would in all proba
bility pass a large business through
Atlanta, wkieh, it the gauge were
broken, might be controlled by her mer
chants.
This, then, is a question of vital im
portance to Atlanta. The lime and
expense of the transfer of freights by
the narrow gauge is, or may be,-avoid
ed by the broad gauge by running
through trains; witness the Green
Line.
It should, however, be borne in
mind that tire reduced cost at which
the narrow gauge can transport freight
may more than compensate the ship
per for the slight delays in tranship
ment.
It is claimed that the broad gauge
has a greater carrying capacity than
the narrow gauge. If we admit this
claim, it then only becomes necessary
to inquiie whether it has not a greater
capacity than our wants demand, and
whether in building railways of this
class,, we are not investing an unnees
sary amount of money, and thevhy eu
tailing high rates upon the industries
of the country, and in a measure retard
ing development rather than accelerat
ing. Indeed it is a serious question
whether we did not make a great mis
take originally in adopting as broad
gauge as we have done.
AVe presume no one will dispute the
fact that our Southern broad gauge
roads possess a capacity mu'ch greater
than the wants of our section demand
and in this connection it remains for
us to decide whether having commit
ted so costly a mistake we shall contin
ue to perpetrate it.
If an error, it has certainly been a
very costly one, and in our present
poverty stricken condition it would be
foil v on our part to repeat it.
The whole argument then turns up
on the point, first, whether Atlanta
has the ability to build, own and con
trol a broad gauge line, with its high
rates : and, secondly, if able to do so,
whether a cheap narrow gauge, with
its low rates to and from Atlanta, will
not advance her interests more surely
and rapidly than the more costly broad
gauge.
AA’hile it is true that a continuous
cheap narrow gauge line from Atlanta
to Eastport on the Tennessee [trier,
connecting with steamers at that point
fqr all parts of the A Vest and North
west by cheap water transportation,
having only one transfer, and piercing
the great mineral belt of Alabama, via
Birmingham, with its Cheap rates on
AAV tern produce, coal and iron, would
place Atlanta merchants and manufac
tures on a secure footing, enabling
them to set competition at defiance
we should nevertheless give the broad
gauge, with its connections through
1 and beyond Atlanta, and its ability to
transport freights for Augusta, Alacon
Savannah, Columbus, Montgomery,
and every station on the various lines
without breaking bulk at this point, a
full and fair consideration.
AYe h ave thus presented the main
argurnets in favor of the two gauges. -
AYe are not redded to either svstern
! and only desire the merits of both ful
! ly discussed, in order that a wise con
; elusion may be reached aud Atlanta’s
future progress made secure.
SST* The Palace Alills of Columbus

Truth in ISiief.
The real cause of the reluctance of
Congress to accord to the Southern
States the right to be represented in
that body by men of their own choice
is clearly explained in the following
concise paragraph front the Brookh n,
N. Y., Eagle, telling why the Aniuesty
bill was defeated:
So long as the South stands ready
and anxious to send men of more brains
and integrity to the Senate than the
demagogues now dominant there pos
sess, tlrose demagogues may be relied
Upon to vote to keep such men out. —
In this personal reason lies the whole
antipathy to amnesty. Few of the
senators are statesmen now. Many
of them are knaves, and an equal ad
ditional number are ranters. The
fools and the jobbers are the great ma
jority. They would be dwarfed into
insignificance by the advent of men
who would prove the intellectual heirs
of the rricn the Senate contained before
and up to the beginning of the war,—
They were violent, but they were not
venal. They believed more in their
States than they did in their country,
but they never sold their votes to rail
road lobbyists. They never slavered
a President, tior even became infam
ously and rapidly rich on their small
salaries. They never voted a dollar
for the war, to be sure—but they nev
er voted a dollar to a “ring” or into
their own pockets. Their mouth was
full, perhaps, of States rights, but they
never had their desks running ovrir
with railroad stocks, nor gauged their
support of a measure bv the condition
of their bank books. Small wonder
that the slightest vision ot such men,
or their similitude, coining again to
the Capitol, fright the souls of their
feeble adversaries. Jealousy of and
conscious inferiority to such men is the
real reason why amnesty was killed,
and we conjure the country to bear the
fact in mind.
La Grange Banking & Trust Cos.
AYe are glad to annouce that this
company, which organized recently
under a very favorable charter, have
completed their banking house, and
will move into it at once. The vault
is very large and fire-proof, with an
iron front and double doors, with locks
from the well-known house of Hall’s
Safe and Lock Company of Cincinnati
The safe deposited in this vault is a
model for its construction, defying
alike burglars and conflagrations.—
The outlay for the security of valua
bles have been heavy but judiciously
expended.
The officers, as well as stock-holders,
are among the leading men and capi
talists of La Grange ; and every assu
rance and guarantee is furnished that
good faith and fail 1 dealing will char
acterize the management of the Bank.
The banking house is immediately
East of and adjoining the Tronse of A.
I). Abraham Cos,, arid is fitted up
with every convenrende, including all
the latest tixiures rind furniture: The
side, from the house of Herring,' Far
rell and Sherman, of New York, cost
$1075, and the iron front to vault
cost $306. The vault is built from a
foundation in the earth of brick walls
two bet thick, and floored with dress
ed grrinite from the Stone Mountain.
The counters and arches overhead
were built in elegant style by Mr.
Kener—the former ornamented with
handsome bronze picketing. Adam
Bogert, colored, put the finishing touch
to the interior of the house with his
facile brush and skillful handling of
the paints. —La Grange Reporter.
