THE EA G IE.
MY J. E. KEDWINE.
Friday Morning., January It, 1880.
Nearly all tbe railroads report “a
large increase of business during the
month of December.
It is reported that Tilden and Kel
ly have bnrried tbe hatchet and
smoked the' pipe of petes.
The biU io resbriei Glinese immi
gration, whhh wm vetoed sap Ifr.
Hayes, bw been reinleodtred in the
Hoose by Mr. Page, of California.
If there should be no break in the
Brown-Cole combination (and this
we do not look for, as Joe Brown
hardly ever slips up) the time is not
distant when Savannah will ship , a
very large portion of the cotton crop
of the south.
The attractions of the Mexican ta
riff may be seen where it is known
that a barrel of salt which is bought
for $2 in New York costs s2l when
laid down in tbe city of Mexico and
all other imported articles are in the
same proportion.
We have received the first namber
of the Cleveland Advertiser, published
at Cleveland, White county, by Alex
Church—Alex Church and W. B.
Bell, editors. The copy before t us
makes a very creditable appearance.
The Advertiser seems to wholly ig
nore the Blue Ridge Echo which
paper it supplants.
An idea of the remarkable advance
in the price of iron can be obtained
from this authentic statement. The
price of iron rails in January, 1879,
was $32 per ton, February $33, March
$34, April $34, May $3-‘ June $37
July S3B, August $39, September s4l
October $45, November 51, December
$53.
Although there is an apparent
calm in Presidential booming all
around, still it is clear that Mr. Sher_
man is on a still hunt to spike the
Grant guns and if the signs are not
deceptive with some prospect of
success. One hundred thousand of
fice holders as basis with which to
start must not be despised or ignored,
in a political campaign.
The Session of congress just pro
ceeding a presidential election is gen
erally a lively, ratling affair, where
all are playing for position. Accord
ing to the New York Herald the dem
ocrats have starved ont the lobbyists,
Mr. Hayes has no plans of his own,
and has no followers and tbe capital
is now enjoying the quiet and hap
piness of peace and prosperity.
Democratic economy gives the wire
workers no opportunity to handle the
money of the country, Grant will
not return before the latter portion
of March, and politicians do not wish
to enter active service until some
thing definite has been made to turn
UP. t
Tlie .Lease of the Brunswick
Road.
Tuesday last was the day fixed for
the lease of the Macon and Bruns
wick railroad, under act of the last
legislature. Since the combination
of Col. Cole and Gov. Brown, by
which the management of the Cen
tral road passed into their hands,
great anxiety has been manifested by
both Macon and Brunswick lest the
Combination should defeat, or inju
riously affect the lease of their road
md its northern extenson. This
opinion was not confined to the peo
ple of those cities, bnt wae shared by
most persons familiar with all the
facts and surroundings. Some
thought that tbe minimum rental au
thorized by the legislature, $60,000
per annum, could be obtained. When
the road was put up, however, all
doubts and fears were dispelled, as
the bidding soon became spirited by
representatives of four or five differ
ent combinations. After a lively con
lost the road was knocked off to Mr.
James M. Couper, of Brunswick, the
>gent of a company composed of W.
5. Wheeler and Nathaniel Greene,
> London and Chauncey, and Charles
nbbbard, of New' York. The price
• aid was $194,000 per annum. It is
inderstood that this lease will be
ouverted into a purchase. Mr.
louper paid tbe SIO,OOO advance re
uired by law. It is believed the
will extend the road to
Hue point on the Georgia road, but
ns as yet seems to be mere conjec
ire. --

A special dispatch to the Atlanta

The Great Southern Through
Line.
No event in the history of rail
roads in this country has attracted
so much of public attention and in
terest, as the Cole-Brown combina
tion, by which a through trunk line
is established from St. Louis, tbe
great metropolis of the Mississippi
valleys, to Savannah. The combina
tion is the result of a long struggle
between several of the rival cities of
the west to secure a short and direct
line to a south Atlantic port that
would be free at all seasons of the
year from snow and ice blockades.
It was with this object in view that
Cincinnati expended $20,000,000 to
build the Cincinnatti Southern to-
Chattanooga. The building of this
road would give Cincinnati an advan
tage over all her rivals and hence to
offset this St. Louis went to work to
consolidate the lines already budt,
under one management and thus
maintain her supremacy over all her
rivals. This scheme quietly and se
cretly worked by Col. E. W. Cole,
president of the Nashville and Chat
tanooga road, and Ex Gov. Brown
of the State road was finally consumat
ed and the roads consolidated and
made one trunk line under one man
agement. By this line the distance
from St. Louis to Chattanooga is 467
miles; from Chattanooga to Atlanta
138 miles, and from Atlanta to Sa
vannah 293 miles—making a total
from St. Louis to Savannah of 898
miles. From St. Louis to Baltimore
via Cincinnati and the Baltimore and
Ohio road, the distance is 920
miles, and to New York 1,108
miles. Thus it will be seen that Sa
vannah will have a shorter line than
either Baltimore or New York, to
say nothing of climatic advantages.
St. Louis is now the collecting and
distributing depot for the grant Mis
sissippi valley, and with this short
line to our own seaport, as the gate
through which bar commerce must
find egress and ingress, the time is not
distant when the dream of direct trade
with the south will be realized. Indeed
this promises more practical results
in that direction, than any and all
other schemes combined Cincinnati’s
road will connect with this trunk
line at Chattanooga, and hence that
city will be in competition with St.
Louis and equally interested in the
trade of he southeast. With the
wealth and enterprise of these two
cities and the pluck and vim of our
own people there is good reason for
believing that the initiatory step to
ward direct trade, has been taken
and that in a short time the south
and west will cease to pay toll and
tribute to New York and Baltimore
on everything they sell and all they
buy.
Astounding Bribery.
To give our reader a correct idea
as to how the Christian republicans
of Maine do business we copy the
following from the (Augusta) Maine
Standard of the 9th inat:
Never Since the state house was
located in Augusta, has there been
disclosed such an astounding piece
of villainy as we have to record this
morning. The story is this: Messrs.
Swan and Harriman, having been
told by a friend that a certain repub
lican had offered him a thousand
dollars to resign his seat in the house,
determined to test the fellow for the
purpose of exposing him.
Mr. Swan went first to the party,
in this city, and intimated he was
for sale for a SI,OOO. Swan was ta
ken into the court house and locked
in the jury room. The briber retired,
and in a few minutes returned wiih
SI,OOO, which he gave to Swan.
Mr. Swan told his friend Harri
man of the circumstance, and ad
vised him to play the same game.
He did so, went through the same
process in the court house, and came
forth with $1,005. The party over
paid him five dollars by mistake.
These gentlemen have the money
in their possession, and have shown
it to a large number of persons. The
money was counted by Mr. Gove, sec
retary of state and, and Solon Chase.
But the affidavits speak for themselves
What are we coming to ? When a
crime like this is committed under
the very shadow of the state house,
what may we not expect from this
hell-deserving party ? Who had so
large a sum to furnish ? We know
this wickedness was transacted in
three minutes walk of Senator Blaine’s
house,

Drawing It Fine.
1 Moiirae Advertiser.
One of the finest cases of smallness
that has come to our notice, was the
bill offered in congress last week to

Mexican war except those engaged in

A Favorable Opening.
Washington Post.
Any prominent southern democrat
who is willing to assume paternal rela
tions toward ‘‘the Grant movement
in the south,” can hear of an opening
for a remunerative engagement by ap
plying to Cameron & Co., of the State
of Pennsylvania.
Lacking in Proper Respects
Washington Post.
Although congress met more than six
weeks ago, there has as yet been no offi
cial announcement of the demise of the
administration’s stepfather, the late la
mented husband of Eliza Pinkston. The
administration is lacking in proper re
spect to its maternal progenitor.
A,Debatable Point.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Williams, the colored statesmen, is
bound to do something for his race.
He proposes to repeal the law
the intermarriage of white and colored
people. Still, it is a debatable point
whether he is doing much for his
own race by this action. The sacrifice
is generally on the colored person’s side
when he or she marries a frayed out
Caucasian.
Asking Too Much.
Atlanta Constitution.
Blaine’s friends are still apologizing
and explaining. It is sufficient to know
that White, the briber, was a frequenter
of Boes Blaine’s house. We are now
asked to believe that there was no con
nection between the principal of the
rebellion, and its agent; and that
White is innocent anyway, although
he refuses to appear before the bribery
committee of the house. There is such
a thing as overdoing the belief busi
ness.
A Forerunner.
Lon Ibvilla Courier-Journal.
As to Maine, it seems to be another
Hayee affair. There is a fuss. There
is a chance. There is a “go in” on the
part of the republicans. Chamberlain
is a republican, and he is a dictator.
This is enough. We are to understand
from this affair what we are to expect if
Grant is not elected president—a dicta
tor; a civil war; a usurpation. Os
course the republicans will win in
Maine. They have the rascality and
they have the force.
Spreading Himself over tile Country.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A vest amount of vitality is imparted
to the alleged Grant movement by
Judge Lochrane, of Georgia. By hur
rying from one part of tho couutry to
another, having himself interviewed at
every jump, the judge creates the im
pression that tho Grant tide is vising,
bnt the fact is, a little old republican
judge in Georgia doesn’t amount to
much anyhow, and when he spreads
himself all over the country he is as
thin as the butter on the bread at a
charity boarding school.
An Appropriate Remedy.
New York Herald.
As the State of Maine is desjtitute of
any one who can legally claim, to be her
lawfully elected governor, her only
course seems to be to follow the custom
of other States and nations in similar
circumstances and crave the protection,
es the highest dignitary within her
borders. Judging according to titles
this individual is Sockbesin Swassin,
governor of the Penobscot Indians. He
already bears the title of governor,
which the State law recognizes in his
case, and no insinuations have been
made as to anything crooked in the
manner of his election.
A Suggestion to the Czar.
New York Snn.
The Czar of all the Russias is repre
sented to be in great mental trouble
from bodily fear of being shot, or blown
np, or assassinated in some way. In
deed, the apprehension of a violent
death is said so to prey upon him that
fears are entertained lest it shall drive
him mad and shorten his days. It
renders his existence perfectly misera
ble.
For tho relief and benefit of the Czar
we kindly suggest to him that there is a
very simple method for him to escape
from the dangers by which he is sur
rounded and the constant anxiety by
which he is oppressed. Let him abdi
cate and come to this country. The
assassins will then have no further oc
casion to file at him or to blow up the
train by which he travels.
Opposed to a Third Term.
Macon Telegraph.
The German opposition to tho third
term movement is assuming a very de
termined and formidable character.
From Missouri to Pennsylvania this
, population are presenting a united and
uncompromising front against it, as
essentially anti-republican in its true
meaning. There is no important city
in that whole scope of country in which
very menacing demonstrations are not
visible, and unless some important
change in opinion and feeling can be
brought about, the stalwarts will bo
confronted next month, when it is pro
posed to select a majority of the North
ern and Western delegates to the Chi
cago convention, with the alternative of
taking the back-track or hazarding a
canvass with the German element ar
rayed in opposition to their nominee.
This element favors Washburne, prin
cipally.
