Delegates from all the States assem bled at St. Louis last week tor the pur pose of reporting on the proctibiiity and demand for a Southern Continental ituii road, stretching from the waters of the Mississippi, via 151 Paso, to the Pacific Ocean. The Committee ou llesolutions reported that, suid road should lie built, for the following reasons : “First, as a measitre of sound statcMimuship; hen oud, as a menus of national defence ; third, as » loo.il military necessity; fourth, as a measure of practical econo my ; tilth, ms ii commercial necessity to the twelve millions of people hihnlntiug a belt of country troiu 400 to 701) iui.es iu width, stretching along the cut in South Atlantic Coast, Gulf of Mei.ie ami Old Mexico to the Dueific Ocean , sixth, us a threat saving to the p-op.ti o. the entire OOttuUy, beOtune it wtil give a competing line between the two oceans , seventh, because uominuiiiuation thus e» tablislicd with the ncti and pr.siuetivi States ol O and Mexico wi old seciira In large and lueriit.vc traffic now dm-rI.M to other countries, and would thereby increase the revenue ot the Government, eighth, ns a prudential and proper act u. euconntgc the p.opio ol the South."

The cause of the suspension of Treasurer Jones may be stated briefly as follows : Alsint two weeks ago it was brought to the Governor's notice that the Treasurer wus holding office under insufficient bond—indeed lmd never given any but a temporary bond. Accordingly the Gov ernor notified him that Ik must not only give a ucw bond within teu days, but that the same must he strengthenod.

MKr.lllill KeFORtl. There is one department of the gov ernment which shonld at least receive os much attention a* the hands of reformers as those heretofore prominently alluded to in t hat connection. We allude to the powers and pay of officers of the govern ment uuder direction of the United States Courts, so far as relates to the arrest of psrties who aid iu illicit distili- I ing. We would not defend those who openly violate tlie Federal statutes but i think a limit should be hud to the au thority for the arrest of those employed by the principals in the matter. There Is no doubt but that innocent citizens iof Georgia have suffered greatly in the manner openly complained of iu Tennessee, where it is suid Federal offi ecs have been prostituted end those who lihed them have grown rich. The New York Sun has the following iu regard to I this matter iu Tennessee : Hundreds of poor men, whose sole of fence i» that tiny have made a lire nmler a kettle, or cut a o.rd ot wood it may tie, | simply as employee., of others, the prin cipals in the ru.s •, are modi to share with tutor employers in the joinings and req iiisitions for bail couw queut upon dis ! covery and arrest, though perfectly inno . cent of any intentional v.long doing. These meii in nine cases out of ten are so poor that even in the immediate neighborhood of their own homes they would lie utterly unable to furnish bonds j for their appearance to any amount. But, I list they might, it is the practice usually io take them as fur away us possible from any menus of so doing. Thrown into jail, away from bonus, ignorant, poor to ragged ness, amt utterly unable ; to escape me process, these poor devils 1 arc then subjects to a ay-stem of terror ism for weeks, which Ims this result— when brought to trial they are induced j through fear of the mighty name of the United Blutes Court, and tlpur inability jto employ counsel, seconded by the strenuous efforts of the District Attor ney and his assistants to induce them to , HO do, to submit their eases with a plea ! of guilty, and usk for sentence without ! ; the formality of u trial by jury, with the I j hope of a lighter sentence. I And here comes in the profit of the , i officials. For every trial by jury, end-! | ing in oonvieiioo, the District Attorney's ; | fees are fixed by statute nt. 820. For a ' submission without trial, ou a plea of ; | guilty, his fee is <*lo only, and the roe- I ords of this one court alone for the post j live years show that over a thousand ! eases that were submitted without trial ! ire euicied of record as having been ! | tried by jury, and bills tor services of i .he District Attorney and his assistants, * : audited and paid by the department at i Washington. rut: tMtci) si.vn.s p mnatm. | ■ ' ■ i its rtw.mt.MU- roMiw.nxioN and t-itoh racib. The ('ourirr-.hjnnuil sayH the death 1 if .Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, has , allied renewed attention to the political) j diameter of that body. When full it j -onsists of seventy-four members. The ! Democrats have already twenty-eight j nom) ers. If Governor fngersol, of Uonoectiout, convenes the Legislature to i •laiimo a Bomtnv in tin- place of Mr. Ferry, some Democrat) will bo elected who will hold over till 1875). This makes twenty-nine Democratic Benators. In addition to this, the. vacancy from fami sinna will prolntbly be filled this winter by a Democrat or a liberal Republican. Charges w ill be filed against Bponoer 1 Rep,, Ala.,) and one or two other Re publicans alleging corruption in their elections, and it i.\ said the proofs will he strong enough to unseat at least two of them. Mr. Booth, of California, is un indt'pehdout, and Messrs. Robertson, (Rep., 8. 0.), Himvou (Rep. Nov.), Clinstiaocy (Rep., Mich.), and Conover (lteb. Flu.), arc far from being ultra and unscrupulous i artisuus. The Senate is thus Republican, Imt there is no longer a violent partisan majority ait in former years, The Democrats have an excel- I lent prospect of gaining control of the Btinute on the 4th of March, 1877. They have gullied ,me Senator in Mississippi, j mnl will certainly gain oue iu Arkansas 1 and one in Texas, with good chances for v.teiiu' cs occurring in Louisiana, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin and New Hampshire ere March i, 1877. The dan- | gcr of losing control of the body may lead the Republicans to scat Pinchbock, right or wrong, thus winter. (t ou niumciitid.) Nov. 24th, 1875. M kssks. Kiuroits : Knowing you to he jolly, good- ' hearted fellows, ever ready to drop a sympathetic tear in behalf of oppressed i humanity, 1 ln-sitate not to ask a short : space in the columns i.f your elegant j loritVAt, ; not that 1 expect, or even dn j sire, to present to yon and your many 1 leaders a loug, juicy, sweet-scented epis tle- one fraught with the quintesceut elements of mi elaborate description of cyclones, earthquakes, etc., but I come I before you without ostentation, and I shall speak with fearless emphasis in be ! half of a fragment of unmercifully | abused humanity, namely, the ‘Renters,’ with which unfortunate class your hum ble servant claims a common brother i hood. Now, what no complain of is, that we \ cannot sustain ourselves mnl families, aud pay the high rates of rent extorted from us by some, and 1 might say a ma jority of the supposed, or self-styled gentry of this country, whose ancestors bequeathed to them a few acres of red lulls and sandy planes for an inheri tance, that they might, by tin “sweat of the face” obtain a livetyhood. Bn; to | obviate the necessity of so much labor ou their part, they propose to rent these hills and planes, and for a tme-horse, or mule farm, os the case may be, they de mand one thousand pounds ot lint (sit ton, and in many instances, if the agree m at is not very explicit, the whole pound of flesh will be peremptorily de manded, skin and Wood thrown in, claimed, perhaps, as a recoLrJpnS* for ? bagging end tics, {lacking and {irompt i delivery at the railroad station. Now, don’t every renter in McDuffie county 1 know that lit ea**t ufake ends meet and pay such exorbitant rates ? Don’t he know that to continue to do so is equiva lent to absolute suicide aud utter star vation of his family ? Then, why will he eoniinue to pursue a course that he must know will inevitably leiul to such results'/ To al! such I would say, strike—strike now, as y'our humble servant ha., done, and swear by the “holy fathers” that you will never pay such rates again. Y’ou can get a home, never fear. These hills and planes are worthless without la bor, and the -landlord’ is compelled to employ you, for the present, at least, or starve himself. Generally eight hun dred pounds of lint is as much as you can afford to give for a one horse farm, and the landlord should pay you for all new rails put upon his fence, and all oth er substantial improvements besides, and even at this rate tlie land should be good and seasons propitious, or you might be visited by George Langford, or some other seemingly ostentations official when you might swear that you were not pre pared to receive company stall. You iiave, no doubt, observed that quite a number of persons arc leaving Middle Georgia and seeking homes in tlie far West ; and wliy is this so 7 Because of the oppressive rule of the landlords of this country- This is inviting emigra tion to Georgia with a vengeance. Now, Mos srs. Editors, 1 have had my say, aud if 1 have offended anybody, I hope you will intercede ami bring about a reconcil iation if you can reasonably do so ; if not, just say yon don’t think i care a—• Now T will Iml you adb-n, by wishing that your list of subscribers may soon grow to the extent of yotir desire. Runtiib. j COMMUNICATED, j iffHWt Editor* : Will you allow a few lines in vmir pa per for the purpose nf'calling the atten tion of eitizejis of the town to v.b'tit we regard ns the disastrous ef!-. -t of th-- late Ordinance licensing the vending of fresh ‘ meat ? We will first premise by f rying that we have no doubt but that the Commis sinners thought it would util, i veu use ful purpose, but they are honestly mis taken. If the citizens of the surround ing country are allowed the unrestricted privilege of disposing of their meat in such quantities mt they may see fit, who does it injure? Oertainly i*o one. On the contrary whom does tlm restriction of this rigiit benefit? No one but tin 'l’mvn Council t i the amount of ten do! [srs, the license fee, and the party who tukes out tlm license. How does it ben efit him ? By giving him a monopoly. How many does it injure, and win arc they? In the first place by licencing ] - .■.omperiGrnOnmmig the buyers, it forces the fiit-z.i i in the couibry to take the i fixed price of the monopolist or drives i him to some other market. It also forces - the Citizen of the town to give whatever ; \ juice the monopolist may ask regardless lof the market value of tin article. Now, ' Mr. Ivuox is a special friend of your cor respondent, and wo would do quilling to ' injure him ; but wo pivttuuc Mr. K nox | iH both able and willing to compete with : others who may wish to , .11 fresh meat |in this market. If ho iu not, let him I “sell out” to someone who is. We arc | the enemy of monopoly 1,0 matter ; whether it aspires to the dignity ol a Ring for the control of millions, or mod* | cstly confine.' its operations to the selling |of fresh meat in a country village. It might do for the Town Council to rent ! its meat stalls if it had any, hut iu a town the size of this, to license the juiv ilogc of selling mt articln of prime ueoei aity, is not only impolitic nail unwise, but unjust, not only to tlm m u t consu mers of the town, but the aues-.t raisers of the surrouuding country. We hope, therefore, that the Council will refund M". Knox lus money, and m-uu :.i. r its action on this question. We cun hear now the low mutterings which betoken the coming storm, and as sun- us it is that trade, like water, is continually struggling to find its own level, so sure this town will be deprived of its daily supplies of fresh meat, if this O.dimiuee is not repealed. Wo merely throw out these sugges tions for what they are worth, and to in vite the attention of the citizens to the subject. Thomsoji may bo strong— . Thomson may be povv iful, but she ean - not control the everlasting and immuta ble law of supply and demand. “Fr.EE Tk.uik.” Concluding words of Hon.

It is tlso the year in which an opposition House of Representa tives. the first since the war, will be in pow er at Washington: and the year of the twenty-third election of v President of the United States. All of these events are sure to be of great interest and importance, es pecially the two latter: and all of them and everything connected wiub_ them will he ful ly and freshly reported ana expounded in The Huk. The opposition House of Representative-;, taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago by The Sex, will sternly and diligently investigate the eomptiona and in indeed* of Grant's administration; ami will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation for anew and better period in our national history.
