Congressional Election.
The Legislature having set apart the
first Monday in April for tho Congres
sional election, wo observe a limners
ville coriespondcnt of the Savannah lie
publican, suggesis the holding of a Dis
t. lot nominating Convention, at Mack
shear, on the First Monday in March, for
the purpose of selecting a Democratic

If the suggestion is agreed to, County

The Caunliit; of (ho Votes for
ErosMtent anil Vice President.
The Telegrspile report of the coun
ting of tho votes, on tin l 10th inst., says
that at 1 o’clock tho Senators, arm in
arm came into the house. Senator \\ ade
took the chair with Mr. Colfax i ear him.
Senator Cockling and Representatives
Wilson of lowa, and I’ryunc, acting as
tellers. Mr. Pryutie read out the Demo
cratic votes, Messrs. Cockling & \\ ilson
alternating in reading the Republican
votes. All went smoothly until Louisia
ns was reached, when Mr Mullins, of
Tenn , objected, declaring that no va!
W election had been held. The Joint
Session separated and the House voted
one hundred and twen y six to sixty
tinee to count the vote of Louisiana.—
The Senate, alter a severe struggle, to
draw in extraneous matters voted to
count. The House again met and pro
ceeded with the count, until Georgia
was reached, when Mr. Butler objected
I ecause the Georgia College had not
voted ou the proper day and Mr other
r asons. Much confusion ensued, which
Senator Wade ended by ordering the
Senate to its own room. The House
then voted one hundred and fifty to forty
one that Georgia should nut he counted
The Senate, after a most perplexing
and laughable struggle, declared that in
the face of the concurrent resolution con
cerning the State of Georgia, the objec
tion in joint session was out of order.
The House again met in joint sessioH in
at solute conflict. Senator Wado order
ed Georgia to lie read as directed by the
concurrent resolution. Butler objected.
Wade won.ld hoar so objection. Butler
nppea’ed from Wade’s decision. Wade
would allow no appeal and ordered tjfie
oou-it to proceed. Butler moved that

1 An id moat intense excitement Wadeur
, dered the count to proceed. Senator
| Conkling commenced reading in a reso

| cries of “order.” Tho noise became- deaf
| cuing, when Speaker Colfax sprang to
h ; desk, proclaiming “The Vice Presi
dent must he obeyed in joint session,”
and ordered the Sergi-ailt at Anns to ar
rest all disorderly persons, Colfax was
oidci lng and appealing probably two
minutes, during which time the Sergeant
■it A* ms had distributed Ida men well
through the House before partial order
was ientered, when the reading of the
result and the proclamation followed, and
the Houses separated and the henatc im
mediately adjoin ned.
In the House Butler introduced a reso

action, hud been guilty of a gross inva

Col. Screven's Aildrees to the Slock
Holders A- & G. It. 11.
Mr. Chairman:
The report which I llavr just submit
ted is tr.o annual report of the President
and Directors of this Con-puny. Neeep
sari'y restricted by the limitations of a
document of a purely business character
I fear that it is not sufficiently explicit
in its exposition of some of the points
connected with (he nflairs of the Compa
ny which have attracted of late, much of
the public attention and which have be
come prominent topics of public discus
sion Conscious that the position of this
Company, in its relations, especially
with the Central and Southwestern Rail
roud Companies has not been understood
and has often been the subject of unjust
misconstruction and censure, I beg leave
to say that this annua! report should
not he dismissed without some allusion
to the late annual report of the Central
I Railroad and Banking Company in which
' the following remarks are made : “In
j addition to the rival lines of road that
may he built upon the credit of tho
I State, there are other causes tending
I seriously' to impair investments that
have been made; we. allude to competi
tion from lines claiming a shaio of the
business that is fairly tributary to your
Road. The policy of such lines is to of
fer transportation by a longer and more
expensive routes at reduced rates. This
in turn obliges a reduction hy the nutu
ial channel, amiMi some cases a counter
cmnpQtivu rale, when the opposition will
again induce so that in the end the line
fairly entitled to the business must do it
at an unremiimnative rate or lose it alto
gether. This policy is now prevalent,
and apparently popular with too many
Roads of the Conntiy; hut why ft should
by Stockholders whose interest is at
Stake, the Board is at loss to understand
The Managers of the Hoads that persist
in this kind of warfare are capable .of
doing an immense amount of injury to
otherwise remunerating lines without
in any way lieiielitting those under their
control. How far this policy is to be
carried or wtien to cease, tho Board is
unable to predict but itis easy to fore
sco the utter ruin that must follow iis
continuance and we cannot close this
Report without entering onr protest a
gaiiist a policy so disastrous in its res
ults.
These remarks which might hare been
better restricted to a simple statement
to the stockholders of tho Central Rail
road and Banking Company of the fact
of the reduction ot the receipts of the
Company for tho past ysar rather than
attempt to account for this reduction by
| incorrect reas .ns proceeds to ascribe this
result, to lines claiming unjustly' a share
| of the business “fairly tributary” to the
j Central Railroad. It cannot be doubted
j that allusion is here made mainly to the
j Atlantic & Gulf Railroad which has had
j the misfortune to penetrate the so called
i “legitimate territi ty” of the Central and
j Southwestern Railroad Companies on the
Flint and Whattahoi clu e rivers. This
well compounded statement of arbitrary;
assumptions might well be dismissed by j
a few categorical and brief propositio s: j
Ist. Business is “fairly tributary” if;
tributary in any sense, to that lino which
esn carry it. the cheapest.
2d. The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad is |
2IIT miles long to Cambridge and on the
same ratio of water transportation as
| that hitherto recognized hy the Central '!
Railroad in its adjustment of rates with
j carriers by water i. e. four miles of wa j
ter to one of rai , Columbus is about the:
| same distance to Savannah by way of I
Baiubridge as by' way of Macon; and
j Eufaiila is 331 miles and Fort Gaines!
j 331 miles by way ofMaom while hy way
j of Bainbiidge the distance from liufaula
1 to Savannah is 277 miles and from Fort
: Gaines 270 miles. This ascertainment
I of comparative distance affords an easy
j demonstration that tho route via Bain
| bridge is not only more expensive luit
I that it should be el.taper. 3bat ibis
. route lVotn the places named is longer in
point of absolute distance is not to be
! denied; But it is equally certain that ub-
I solute distance is not a criterion on the
cost of transportation. If it were the
I Central Railroad taking its cotton late
j from Station No. 1 to Savannah as a
j basis of estimate, should charge say $3
per 100 pounds Mr the transportation of
Ci tton from liufaula to Savannah 334
' miles ! Its actual charge however Mr
1 this distance s now $1 05 per hundred
! pounds. Ti e distance via Bainbi idge is
277 miles. II tnw the Central Railroad
: demands 13 4 miles, the rule of propor
tion would call for a chum e of say 83c
1 ou 277 miles-
It is therefore simply untrue that the
Bainbiidge is the more cxpensiie. It is
so much cheaper ns to over balance the
I difference of absolute distance.
31, These facts being true, they dis
prove tbe assertion that the rates from
the Chattahoochee via the Baiubridge
route have been reduced at all lower
| than was authorized by the principles
j ou which the Central Railroad itself ad.
iustsits own rates of tiansportation. If
therefore the Central Railroad was fun j
ed 10 reduce its rates, it Was because it
could imt resist the advantage of the ;
Baiiihridgo route.
4th, The “millira! channel” of trans
portation if not the channel provided by
nature as the Chattahoochee and Flint ■
rivers is the cheapest chmpfel and the 1
“fairly entitled to the business,” is the
one which can command it at. remunera
tive rates. It $1 05 per 1 (JO lbs on cot.
toll is a ronniiuTutivi. rate to the Central
Raihoad transporting 334 miles certainly
it should he 11 min i 1 alive in the same
proportion to lh<- Atlantic and Gulf Rail
load transporting 277 mill s. In Janua
ry 1808 the Gliaige of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad 85 cents per 100 lbs. I’.mm
Kufaula; or as $1.05:334 miles; $0.83:
277 miles.
Willi these few plain arid undeniable
proposition!) I proceeded to add that just
such misrepresentations as thrse now ail
verted to pronounced by the respietive
Annual Reports during 1808 of the Mus
cogee, Southesli-rn and Central Rai’ivnd
Compiti ii s have been used to inflame the
public mind with a suggestion tiiat the
administration of this Con pany has boon
aggressive and unjust recklessly intru
ding upon the so-called “legitimate ter
ritory of these Companies and in u fruit,
loss warfare doing great damage to them
without hi unfitting this ~6' n ■!.any. —
These assertions could they b • under
stood as mere exclamations of the gi .el
es an unnerved and stio-kei* mom p sly,
would invite scarcely more than a to 1 f
expression of compassion, hut whi n they
assume the form 1 fa grave and unKtiii -
did impend inent ] ii ni i nred without
condition or reserve such assertions de
mand fall refutation and exposure if not
distinct rebuke. 'J he autlu rs of tin sc
reports should know that the udministru
tion of this .ompaiiy has sought for no
more than the evident advantages of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad nfM-i w a t heap
or route from the Chattahoochee and that
had the directors of this Company east
away these advantages and refused the
business which the Atlantic'and Gulf
Railroad ought to have brought it would
have been an improper, if not a erimiii
al disregard of the interests of the Block
holders of this Company. Iris simply
senselesg to assume because (lie South
western' Railroad t< iriiiinih-s on the
Chattahoochee river and was completed
before the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad,
that the former alone id, "lairjjf entitled’
to tho business of the yountrjr divided hy
j it and there may he some doubt suggi-s
ted whether the people living in it are
prepared to acknowledge themselves the
vassals of any sovereignty so supreme-,
that they cannot give, their transporta
tion to whom they-please.
The President of Central Railroad
Company with a sententious dictation,
which would be unworthy of response
did not appear to involve a declaration
“ex-cathedra” gravely asks why the poli
ey against which he enveighs “is sanc
tioned l y stockholders whose interest is
at stake.”
The impeachment thus doulitly utter
ed may he intended to go to trial before
the bar of the'stockholders of this com
pany.
The Directors of this Company do not
fear this arrangement. Their duty has
been boldly but conscientiously perform
ed. Many of them have huge interests
in the Central and South Western Rad
road Companies but Ibis has not deter
red them from the careful and assiiliotis
performance of their duty to the Alien
tic and Gulf Railroad Company: and they
1 might with very pertinent justice of
j right demand to know why the rates of
I the Central and South Western Hail
| road have been reduced if the Bainbi idge
j route is so much "longer and inure ex
pensive ?” Why did they not allow to
[this route a fair share of the business
lof the Chattahoochee (if only that which
went to Apalachicola previous to the
completion of the Atlantic and Cull Rad
road to Baiubridge and never before eon
trolled hy theCeiitial and South Wes
tern Railroads) in order that the receipts
of these roads might be rmiHituined at
something like previous figures.
11l 1867, Apalachicola r< ccired 80 000
bales of cotton. Has this transportation
become peculiarly valuable only because
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad has been
built to Baiubridge ? Why if the Central
Road has such pre-eminent advantages
should it suffer its receipts to decline un
and :r an ull coni t mal and unnecessary con
test with an enterprise asserted to be in
I'eiior?
If, on the other hand, the Atlantic
and Gulf RaProatl (Res possess ; -’\ la
ges which might in any degree 1 :. .im
balance the continuity and greater se
curity' of transpo.ilation of the ''until- j
western and Central Roads, why did the
authorities of these institutions decline j
to make a reasonable compromise with
an antagonist whose damaging power
was unquestionably great ? (la the
contrary every elf.a t lor compromise has
failed because of the unreasonable and
arbitrary exactions of tl r aiib t ntics ol
the South Western and Central Railroad
Companies until the lalt.r, after being
forced to the confession of a loss ol $212
j 000 in the receipts ot 1868 i-a joint and in
! incurring obligations to the amount ul
upward ot one million two handled and
; thirty five thousand dollars to obtain
control of tbe Atlantic and Gull Railroad
i This in itself a measure ol doubtful le
giilitv involves an expenditure, which
reasonable compromise would have sav
ed. It is therefore evident that this i x
penditure enormous as it is, betrays, it
no more an unnecessary grasping tor a
costly power because the same conces
sions which control l>y- these companies
jof the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad would
: justly demand me quite asjastly deman
ded by the conditions of fair compromise
If it is suggested that the recent
compromise between the companies is
proof to the contrary it is certain first
that this compromise was made altar it
was understood that the Central and
Southwestern Kail wad Companies had
become stockholders in the company ;
and secondly that this is not a fair com
promise simply because it arbitrarily
cuts the Atlantic and Gull Railroad en
tirely i ff from any of the business of Cos

golden maxim of justice may be appro
riate to the weak but it does not apply
to tbe powerful, when they may vcntuic
to evade the !aw if Hh assertion is at
tempted or to defy it it it cretna to be
doubtful.
The cons<’i]ueticcs of tliin policy have
become already evident. Cotton is of
fered to be carried to New Or! ssl fiO
per liale, from all points on tin Flint and
Chattahoochee livers inchiiling Bain
bridge, and a powerful coniliination
bucked by large capital has been form
ed to cany cotton via Apalachicola
through Cedar Keys and Feniundiou,
to New York and other Northern ports
at $1 25 per 100 lbs, when the compro
mise rate of this company is $1 65 pet
-700 lbs. from Baiubi idge. l ints the
compromise made with this company ba
llot only deprived it of the business it
lii.d obtained at Columbus and Kafaula,
but has furred it into a breach with its
allies converting them into enemies not
only to itself, but to the commerce of
this city on the Flint and Chattahoochee
rivers; while the Central and Southwes
tern Bail road Company fling to the A.
& G. K. 11- Company the charitable drop
pings of the rich mans table.
It is futile to assert that this Compa
ny is itself to blame for such a compro
mise by which it abandoned any part of
its commercial rights because it lias been
offered the privilege of In coming a part
ner ill the steamboats owned by the Celt
tral and Sulhwa stern Hat I road Compa
nies. This Company will not venture,
like litem to transgress tile limits of this
Act of Incorporation, and attempt an die
culily whie may prove a piopi : sub
ject of injll notion if not of the .State’s
writ ofipn, warranto; nur >s it disposed,
moreover to wear even the semblance ot
a breach of i.s Compromise by subsidiz
ing steamboats on the Flint and Chatta
hoochee rivers even by a direct owner
ship to bring and carry freight at eva
sive rates. These are acts which while
they demoiistiate the folly of compro
mises m>t made « fleetive by vndicatory
foifo.lures are not unsnggest.ve of the
prospects ot the Atlantic and Unit liuii
ruad when in the control of these compa
nies Tt ey will reap a rich harvest in
deed when they shall have eon-' muted a
monopoly by which the Alb.ii .o & Gulf
Haiiroad is absorbed and llu-n steamboat
adversaries mi tbe Flint and Clialtalmo-:
chcc rivers forced to retire from the con
test.
Mr. Chairman, a fear ol tiring the pa
tience of the stockholders prevents my
attempting any further vindication of
the policy of the administration of this
Company in its operations on the F int
and Chattahoochee r.veis I'eriiaps tin
sueeess attending t *• op. rations of this
Cumpauy in thin direction achieved in
ttie face of persistent and powerful "ppm
sit ion and without the on! lay of a si;.- 1 .-
dollar for means of transportation addi
tional to those it already pi ssi s-ed is
itself a sufficient vim: icatiou. Hat 1
trust that enough lias been said to dissi
pate the culpability which has been tin
justly sought to attach to the policy. It
was dictated not by any ; urp.ise to in:
damage the mteris'* id l! o Central and
Southwestern Railroad Companies but
it was cnforct and by a warm sens-- of duty
which forl ad - the casting away of any
of the advantages to winch the Atlantic
& Gulf Railroad might be entitled by its
local position and the large money in
vestment by which those advantages
had. been obtained.
If sir, in tine course of these remarks
I may seem to have given vent to ex
pressiops which tniglu have been mark

they have been invited by deci.i ..lions

justly be styled the great medicine of the world,
for then* is no region of the globe into which it !
has not found i:s way. and n«m*t where it has not.
long been largely used and highly prized. More- j
over there is t;o clime to which it has not proved 1
to be well adapted for the cure of h considerable
Vi; xof and • -a-": it -s a peed' ands ite reme
dy oo burns, scalds, cuts, bruise*, wounds and
various other hiturie:-. ns well ns for dysintery.
diarrheea. and dowel cemphimts general!y. it : s
a-itiiii.ibtv soiled for every race ol men or the
face of the globe.
It is a very significant fact, that notwithstand
ing the long period of years that the ••I'aiu Kill- ‘
••r ’ has be. i hes re ts • wf rid, it has never lost
one whit of its popularity or shown the least sign
of becoming 1 unpopular; but on the contrary.;
the call for it has steadily increased from its first j
discovery by that exc.-UeiH and honored man. ;
ferry Ini vis. and at no pieviou* time has th » tie- !
mai.d for it been so great, or the quantity made
bren so large, as it- is this day.
Another significant fact is. that nowhere has
the Tain Killer ever been in higher repute or
Sgeri more generally used by famine-, and indi- |
\ idu; Is. than it has been here at home where it
was first discovered and introduced, and where
i;s proprietors. Messrs Pony Davis Jc Son. have
ever been held in high esteem. That the Pain
Killer will continue to be. what we have styled
it. tbe great medicine of the world, there cannot
be the shadow of a doub\—Pkoy. Jdvkrtisku.
