MANEUVERING OF RAILWAY KINGS.

M. »WL\ELL, Proprietor.
Tuesday Morning,
Nov. H, 1879
Eveky once in a while some paper
has something to eay about secession.
Why, bless your soul, don’t you know
that secession, Boh Toombs and Alec
Stephens are dead issues ?
Wonder ip Akerman is for Grant?
When Grant relieved him of his port
folio as Attorney General it was said
that Akerman was too honest to hold
office under Grant. Who said it ?
When you see the word "rental” in
print or hear it used nowadays, you
may be pretty sure. that the person
using it means “rent,” and not “rental.”
But then it looks bigger to use a word
of two syllables, you know.
Wit is like good butter. If you have
but a limited amount to give, please do
not try to cover too much space with it
—do not spread it too thin. We like
butter thick enough on the bread to
show the print of the teeth.
Now, since a few office-holders and
some office-seekers are declaring for
Grant, the publication of Felton’s cor
respondence with Ferry and other prom
inent Radicals last year might not prove
detrimental to the doctor’s success as a
double-barre.lled office-seeker. It might
“snow under" and "squelch out” Aker
man’s prospects.
Cincinnati in order to have indepen
dent railroad connection with the
Southern and Southeastern seaboards
with the attendant results of the large
traffic that naturally arises along lines
of trade between the South and- the
North, has expended nearly twenty
millions of dollars to build a road con
necting with the roads that diverge
southward toward Charleston and Sa
vannah on the Atlantic and New Or
leans and Mobilo on the Gulf Jfrom
Chattanooga.
Of these two connections the ono with
the eastern coast over the W. & A. R. R.
of Georgia is the only really desirable
one, as Cincinnati and all other points
in the Northwest can use the groat nat
ural highway of commerce, the Missis
sippi river, to New Orleans, which pre
sents as great facilities for shipping
heavy freights as can any railroad line
and at much lower rates.
The Cincinnati road being nearly
completed to Chattanooga, we see it
stated that Col. Cole, President of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
company, has purchased a controlling
shore of the interest of the lessees of the
Four years ago, when Hayes beat
glorious old William Allen for Govern
or of Ohio, the cry went up that the
Radicals would sweep the country in
187G. But they didn’t. Tilden was
elected and Hayes “counted in.” Next
time if a Democrat is elected, as we
may reasonably hope will be the case,
you bet he will be “counted in.”
The Democratic Party of New
York.
“As New York goes in 1879 so goes
the Union in 1880.” These are the
words of ono of the most far-seeing of
Republicans journals, uttered a few days
before the election.
We heartily re-echo the prophesy
which they contain.
Last Tuesday New York registered
herself in the list of Democratic States
for the ensuing national contest.
Her intelligence scorns the blatant
demagogue’s shibboleth of the “bloody
shirt.”
Her clear vision penetrates the fog of
stalwart sophistries and fixes itself
firmly on the objects of a wise conserv-
tism.
Friends of the Constitution and lov
ers of Jeffersonian principles, take
heart from the fact that the brightest star
in the constellation of American States

is done no doubt for the purpose of i leads to Democratic victory!—Now

Zach Chandler wnsChairmau of the
Republican National Committee, and
his death necessitates the election of
successor. Cornell wantB it, and so do
many others. Cornell thinks he is
“biger man” than anybody since his
election to the Governorship of New
York. Kelly made him Governor—
would not it be more appropriate to
give Kelly the placo ?
Among our clippings to day are short
articles giving expressions from Sena
tors Vance, of North Carolina, and Hill,
of Georgia. Both these gentlemen in
form us .that they have no particular
choice of men as candidates for Presi
dent in 1880, but are both ready, will
ing and determined to support the nom
inee of the Democratic convention.
With such sentiments on the part of the
Democracy success is certain.
Writing not long ago of New York
political affairs, the compositor trans
formed our “Kelly” into “Kellogg,” and
careless proof-reading on our part left
it uncvrrected. The mistake caused us
considerable annoyance, which contin
ued until we found that the Dalton
Headlight had discovered it and tried
to make fun of us about it. Any error
glaring enough to be detected by the
Headlight is too patent to do any harm.
Unless the American people have
lost their inborn lovo of freedom and
are willing to cut loose from nnd forget
the traditions of the past, U. S. Grant
can never be elected again as President
Office seekers, office-holders, timeserv
ers and trimmers may favor him, but
the patriotic vote of the people will con
demn any attempt on the part of Grant
or his followers to inaugurate a mon
arcliy by saying that one man alone of
all the people is worthy of their suffrage

sions to the Northwest, and to give, ns
far as favoring rates can give it, the

board of the Southern States to the
Northwest, nnd vice versa, to the N. &
C. railroad.
This would be a magnificent project
with glittering prospects for the N. &
C. R. R. if the great line from Louisville
to Nashville was dependent upon the
N. & C. road, but. this last road owning
or controlling a line to Montgomery,
Ala., is independent and really a rival
of the Louisville and Nashville road,
and the Nashville road is dependent in
a great measure upon the Louisville
road. But in order to obviate this diffi
culty and to become independent as a
North and South through line the
Nashville and Chattanooga company
through Col. Cole, has virtually become
the possessor of the W. & A. road to
Atlanta, and is preparing for an exten
sion of its system to Evansville, Ind.
on the on the Ohio river.
This project of the N. & C. road ac
complished, that line will be a contin
uous one ftom Evansville on the Ohio
Atlanta. The Louisville road has
as already stated, an unbroken route
from Louisville to Montgomery, Ala,
The Cincinnati Southerc, when com
pleted to Chattanooga as it will be in
few days, will have to depend upon tl
W. & A. R. R. for a means of forward
ing and receiving its freights, with that
road controlled by a rival system, or
look to the Great Southern road which
tends toward New Orleans and the
Mississippi river. Now that it will be
futilo for a circuitous railroad line to
try to compete with the Ohio and Mis
6issippi river steamers in the carrying
of freight from Cincinnati to the South
west is apparent at a glance, so Cincin
nati will be forced to look to the South
east and South direct for an uutrara
meled outlet to the seabourd. This
to be obtained at slight cost by lending
assistance to the project long ago inau
gurated, of building a line from Chat

great enterprise have been
H. H. J., in an editorial letter to the
Macon Telegraph has to this to say of
Senator Hill:
On the train last evoning as we re
turned to Macon, the writer encountered
this distinguished gentleman. He is
decidedly reticent as to any preference
for the next Presidential candidate, but
will support the nominee of the Democ
racy.
In regard to Senator Bayard’s claims,
he thinks that his hard-money proclivi
ties would not he any objection to him,
as the Greenback movement has greatly
subsided, and that issue since the suc
cessful inauguration of specie payments
is no longer a practical factor in the so
lution of the financial problem of the
country. Mr. Hill thinks the recent
elections are by no means discouraging
to the Democracy, nnd all that will be
needed next year, is a “long pull, a
strong pull and a pull all together,” to
ensure the triumph of constitutional
liberty.
It is going to happen that a few of
the officeholders and many of the office-
seekers who have been loudest in con
demnation of the Democratic party, as
a party, because of the crookedness of
few put iD office by the party, will be
fore long bo outspoken in praise
Grant—but they will never say a word
about Babcock, Belknap, Boss Shepard
and the countless throng of robbers of the
public crib that Grant put and kept in
office, and he kept in more than one after
their guilt waB known. But the idea is
that Grant will be successful, and that
Ts'what controls these place-hunters.
Colonel Luther J. Glenn says that the
Democratic party committed suicide
during the extra session of Congress by
an overdose of States rights mixed with
clerkships. We are inclined to think
that the latter part of his statement
about the overdose is correct. We don r
believe, however, the party is dead.—At
lanta Constitution.
No, not dead by a long shot; and we
do not doubt that the same remark was
made by various people when tho De
raocracy of the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict with Col. Glenn as the nominee
was defeated in 1872 by a Republican
“0, yes, tho Democrat committed sui
cide when they nominated Col. Glenn
and the party is dead,” was no doubt
said by somo and hoped by many, but
the Fifth has ever since been faithful
and been represented by Democrats
No, the old party is only going through
a purgation preparatory to tho grandest
fight ever made at the ballot box for the
principles of civil liberty. A few Jo
nahs pitched overboard and the sea will
cease from raging, and the good ship
sail Btnoothly on.
istence several years, and consid
erable work has been done at various
points on the line, and now
cars are running some thirty miles on
theline from Columbus northward. True
it is a narrow guago road, but it can
easily be changed.
The following from the Chattnnoog,
Times of last Saturday shows that the
people of Chattanooga are looking
their interest in this matter; hut, as we
have said, the Cincinnati Southern will
be compelled to look an extension
tho direction of Romo and Columbus
since the water route over the Ohio anc.
Mississippi rivers becomes a rival that
cannot be successfully fought in the
carrying trade to New Orleans and the
near Southwest:
The idea that any road can long enjoy
a monopoly of any particular railroad
business is a delusion and a snare. The

managed road, takes the business per-
Cincinnati Commercial, Ind. Rep.
The election of Cornell, under the cir
cumstances, with the rest of the Repub
lican ticket defeated, is a poor sort of
Republican victory. It certainly does
not authorize Senator Conkling to rise in
the next Republican national conven
tion and claim that the State of New
York would vote for Grant, and for no
other Republican candidate, and he
must therefore be nominated. On the
contrary, the Republicans of New York
arc admonished that if they would not
permit their State to become a province
of the solid South, they must escape
from the Conkling machine which is
victorious only with the co-operation of
the Tammany machine. After all, the
next Presidential election must fought
on its merits. It has not yet been de
cided.
Memphis Appeal: People along the
line of the Mississippi and Tennessee
railway say that the quarantine has
served ono good purpose by affording
the laboring class in that region an op
portunity to gat out of a serious trouble
in precluding the possibility of going
deeper into debt, and thus compelling
them to pay what they owed with the
money that would otherwise have been
squandered in oxtravagance. The coun
try merchants have [succeeded in col
lecting outstanding claims, and many
bad debts, and it is said there is now
more money in the country than has
ever been .known at this season of the
year since tho war closed.
simmon. The Cincinnati Southern is
the shortest, as it will be the cheapest
and quickest, line between tho central
North and the central South. In con
nection with the Ala. Gt. Southern, it
will bo the shortest and best route from
Chicago, IndianapoliB, Cleveland and
Cincinnati to New Orleans, and of course
this covers the whole Southwest sugar,
cotton and eattle producing country.
Now, if the great capitalists who will
control the C. S. desire a lino to their
liking, direct from their southern ter
minus to the Gulf, they can get it by
extending a helping hand to the enter
prise now in active development, for a
road from this city to Pensacola, via
Rome, Columbus, etc. They can got
that connection in less than ten years at
a nearly nominal cost to them, and
when they have itr—as they will—their
whole line will—provided in the mean
time a close alliance is formed with the
Alabama Great Southern—be the most

New York Herald : The thoughtful
and intelligent part of the Republican
press are very far from exulting over
the success of their party in electing
Mr. Cornell. They find more of warning
than of encouragement in a victory
which is due to the Democratic split.
Mr. Cornell is not elected by a majori
ty, but by a mere plurality. The two
Democratic candidates for Governor
have received twenty-five or thirty
thousand more votes than were given
to the Republican candidate. The nat
ural inference—the inference which
Democrats throughout the country are
sure to draw—is that a Democratic can
didate for the Presidency popular
enough to reunite the party in New
York has excellent chances for carry
ing the State next year. That is to
say, a Presidential candidate who
should receive all the votes given to
both Robinson and Kelly would dis
tance a candidate receiving only the
votes given to Cornell. The aggregate
vote of 1880 will indeed be larger than
the aggregate vote of 1879; but if the
same proportions are maintained the
reunited Democracy would sweep the
State.
The actual result in New York, al
though discouraging, will by no means
reduce the Democratic party to despair.
the Democrats are wise enough to
profit by their chastisement; if their de
feat in a State which is the pivot of the
Presidential canvass shall render them
more cautious and prudent; if it cures
the party in Congress of the kind of
antics cut at the last regular session,
and, in a milder form, at the extra
session, the party will still have a
chanco of carrying this pivotal State and
electing the next President. Every intel
ligent politician has long seen that the
Presidential election hinges on the vote
of New York. As Senator Conkling
Btated in his speech to the Saratoga
Convention, and, more recently, in his
speech in Brooklyn, tho Democratic par
ty needs only forty-seven electoral votes
in addition to the one hundred and thir
ty-eight of the solid South, and if New
York goes Democratic it will furnish
thirty-five of tho needed forty-seven.
The State of Indiana will supply more
than the other twelve. Indiana is a
Democratic State, and it has fifteen
electoral votes. New York and Indiana
together, if both go Democratio, will
add fifty electoral votes to the one hun
dred and thirty-eight'of the solid South
which will make three more than are
necessary to elect a Democratic Presi
dent. The Democratic party need bor
row no trouble about the recent Repub
lican victories in the other Northern
States if it can carry New York and re
tain its hold on Indiana. But without
New York it has no possible chance
In military phrase, New York is the
key of the Presidential position
Mr. Cornell had been chosen Governor
by a majority, instead of a mere plural
ity, the Presidential contest would be
already sb good as decided. But inas
much as the two Democratic candidates
had a majority of the votes between
them it is obvious that if all tho Demo
cratic votes had been given to one can
didate that candidate would have been
elected over Mr. Cornell. It is this
state of the vote which causes forebod
ing anxiety among the intelligent Re
publican politicaus of the State, who
are more discouraged than elated ovor
the result of the recent election.
Missouri Republican: The Southern
states are receiving their full share of
the prosperity that prevails over the
land. It is stated by an Augusta (Ga.)
paper that the cotton sold last week in
that city brought $100,000 more than
the same amount would have sold for a
year ago, and it is estimated that the
October sales have brought planters
$9,000,000 more than those of last year
not because a greater quantity of cot
ton has been sold, but because the
priceB are better. The same grade of
cotton that last year sold for only 8 cents
now brings 10 to 101—making a differ
ence in favor of the plant of $10 a bale,
and of $40,000,000 to the whole South
on the present year’s crop. An un
usually cheerful spirit prevails through
out the Southern states on account of
th ! s advance in price of cotton. The
crop is very large and fine, and its
movement to market in the next seven
months will involve a large and profit
able business.
