The Atlanta Merchants—and Discrim
inating Tariff*
The inbjoinnd ertiele, with heading n* above
w o clip from the Atlanta Constitution of the 28,
idt. it i* substantially the very *»me complain*
from tho Atlanta merohant* that our own deal
er* have long uttered ; about the diacriminationa
in the freight Tariff* on the Rail Road*. Our
depot la a "IocaI” point, and we complain that the
Kail Road chnigea u* more on freight delivered
here, from Atb-ntathan if t'wsre carried through
IP Augusta. Atlanta ia a "local” point on this
’ Green lino - ' freight route which extend* through
from Louisville to Charleston, and now they com
plain that they pay more on freight from Louis
ville than merchant* in Charleston.
.On a cart of Bacon from Louinville to
Charleston they charge 94 cent* per 100 pound*.
If it it delivered at Augusta they oliargo f 1,00
per hundred, and if delivered in Atlanta it it 96
cetite per hundred. That i» pretty tolerable
just discrimination in tba tariff, and no wonder
Atlanta and. Augusta lay to. But how do we
d»or "locale" faro hero in Washington! Our
hogshead of Bacon, by IhepublUhed tariff aawe
read it,ooste $1,40 per hundred, coming from
Louisville here. Example—we have boforoua
tho freight bill on two hugaheada, paid by Mr.
James Junkin, of tbia placo. Gross weight on
Ida bill* 3395 pounds Expense* to Atlanta $23-
80 cent*, and from Atlanta, here, $11,85 cent*,
making total $84,11 cent* which i* a Hula muse
than s!,«# per, JHMMfI tKK True, we can anvo a
little of this expense; six cent* per hundred, by
having our Bacon sent to Augusta first, for which
w« pay SI,OO per hundred, and then haring it
resUppcd to (his point, which will cost 40 cents
per hundred, making $1,40 against $1,40. Rut
that i* a roundabout way to save six cent*, and
the circumstance doe* not do credit to the rates
of tho tariff. If we were twenty miles nearer to
Augusta, tho aaving would lie greater. Indeed
we are informed that merchant* at Barnett sta
tion, and perhaps those at the station* below, do
in fact Intro their supplies from Luuiavillo con
signed first to Augusta, end then resbippedto
them at their respective point*.
IF* therefore complain greatly, and with more
cause to complain than the Atlanta merchant*,
We want lower rate* of freight, and there ia no
just causa that we are aware of for the high
tariffs we pay.
The road* may well say (hat there is but little
freight to auch local points, and that they can
oarry cheaper to tho through points, because
there ar# large bulka going there. That is true.
and we don't expect to hav* freight* at retail,
as cheaply a* those who pay by wholesale. But
either it pars, or it doe* not pay to carry Bacon
from Louisville to Charleston at 94 cents per
hundred. If it does not pay, the road* ought
not to do it, and would uot do it. If it doea pay
then it will be equally profitable to put it off
here, or at Barnett for the same money. We
ought not therefore to pay more tlrnn the
Charleston buyer or the Augusta buyer even if
we pay as much. Those compensatory rates
grind the life out of our towns and kill our trade.
But we did not intend to delay so loug the
following remarks from the Constitution :
Since the establishment of what is known as
the “Green Line,” our merchants and tho whole
city hav* suffered vastly from the system of dis
crimination in tho tarriff of rates. H-'hile we ap
prove the grand scheme of an unbroken freight
and applaud the genius, enterprise and lilierulity
that gave birth to the “Green Line." we. in com
mon with our merchant*, must condemn its
.errors and the manifest injustice resulting from
illjpelpeble defect*.
Tho discriminations are such that operator*
at the extreme end* of the line have immense
advantage* over the merchants of intermediate
point*, and actually fatten and grow rich at their
expense. For instance: The freight on Baoon
from Louisvdie to Chatleston ia 94 cents tier
bumbl'd, while from Lovieville to Atlanta it is
94 cent* A like invidious and ruinous discrim
ination obtains on f.eights to Savannah, Augus
ta, Macon, West point, Montgomerv, and other
points.
Now, as a matter of courts, this arrangement
tore** capital to one cr the other extermitie*
because if the Atlanta merohait pays more
freight than the Augusta, Savannah or Macon
merchant,he mutt lose the excess if he sells at
the same pree; and if he sells to a merchant
in either one of those cities, he must lose the
additional freight—say 20 to *5 cents per hun
dred—on tho reshipment. This consumes the
profits, and the consequence is that the Atlanta
merchant cannot operate at all.
To change this state of things, « n d eeenrs a
pro rata schedule, our Board of Trade have re
rent It beer, earnestly presenting the question to
the chief* of several roads over which the Green
line is estaoUehad, and w* are glad to announce
than ihcir effort* ara about te be crowned with
race***. They art for nothing hut sheer justice
—an equal showing with the other cities of Geor
gia. and fair competition in the race of commer
cud progress.
The questions involved are of the last impor
tapes to our city, and uninformed persons should
iuvat(igate thoroughly before venturing an opin.
ion. We shall in the next few numbers of the
Constitution, devslop all the fact* and, if poe*i
Me, solve the myitery that enshmud* the diffi
culty.
The Merchant's Protective Union-
Ratiso* ac to Ntanbino axd C’aaotT.—lt it
Senerally known that there are in the city of
lew York establishment* styling Iheiaaelve*
‘•lnstitutions," •‘Commercial Agencies,” or “Mer
cantile Agencies," which are supposed to have
great influence and actual power ia producing
or prejudicing the standing and credit of boai
nes* men throughout the Union. Haring their
own eecret agent* in naarly every city, town,
village, and at almost every crossroad in the
length and breadih of the whole land, these con
cerns have become interwoven with the whole
mercantile systemtof the country. Every mcr
chant, trader, manufacturer, end banker, whether
likely or not to make puchase on time or to ask
for credit in any of the principal cities, i* fully
reported at their headquarte*.—his business,
means, “respectability," standing, are published
and even hi* private iiabita are detailed and open
to the inquiry of their customer* So complete
and thorough a system of espionage a* these
concern* hare every where extended, is probably
unknown esen to the police departments of
Fri nee or Austria.
So long as business shall continue to be done
upon the credit «y*tem, establishments of this
nature will probably continue to exist, in some
form or another; but the mode in which they
have been conducted—namely, by printing
Books of Reports, in which tens of thousands
of business men are devoted by a dash ( —), or
an asterisk (*;, an interrogation point (I), or *ome
similar mark, signifying that the party so indi
cated is “not ree.nnmedcd 'or credit.” or that the
customer should “inquire at the office"—must, in
view of recent decisions in slander and libel
suit*, tie materially modified.
Those establishments, with their numeroos
clerks, standing behind long rowa of deaka, on
which li* ponderous volumnet wherein can be
learned a story, whether true or false, of every
merchant in any part of the country whatever,
will probably modify their business, or pass away
—the liberality, in view of recent decisions to
to slander suit* arising out of their operations,
being too heavy to incur.
In the Mercantile Agency case of Beardsley
against Tappan, the plaintiff recovered ten thou
sand dollars; and upon a motion fora new tiia),
made before ihe United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York, the Horn
Samuel Nelson, one of the ablest Justices of the
Supremo Court, has delivered an opinion deny
ing the, motion, holding that the publicity given
to information depreciatory of tho standing and
character of merchants, “by recording the libel
ous words in a book, deprived the communica
tion of its otherwise privileged character.” He
was further of opinion that I to legalise these
ertabliai ments in the manner and to the extent
omul n f tne aeiemmio, ■* piueingone portion oi
the mercantile community under an organised
system of espionage ana inquisition for the
benefit of tho other, expoaed, from the very na
ture of the organization, to perversion and
abuse.
Wjth the riow of obviating the objectionable
features of the former system* a company, with
a capital stock of ssoo,ooi', divided into $lO
■hare* has been organised and incorporated un
der the law* of the State of New York, under
the title of The Merchants’ Protective Union,
on a basis which seem* to lie free from the evils,
difficulties, and embarrassments under which
those heretofore In existence have labored.
Tlie plan adopted by the Merchants' Protec
live Union, though analogous in some pirtica
lars to that of the establishments above referred
to, ret differs in inch material respects as nut
to be amenable to tho objections urged against
them, the main points of difference being the
following:
1. All necessary information a* to the pecu
niary responsibility or financial condition and
standing of businesa men will he based upon the
written statement# of the parties themselves—
so far attainable—to be furnished at least twice
each year, the agnnta of the Union examining
and reversing such statements when deemed er
roneous; and, where same can nn( bo obtained
from the parties themselve* by reason of their
ble correspondent of the institution, whose names
will also be published in the Mercantilo Refer
ence Reports, to be issued every six montha.—
The character of its correspondents, ami the pub
licity thus given to their connection with the or
ganization. will prove a sufficient guarantee of
tlie correctness of the information thus obtained
and the justice of the reports fill niched hv them
There will ho nothing “secret"or "stricliy Conti
dential” in its report i of the rating! and makings
of the credit and capital of business men—there
will be no futile prohibition to the effect that
such information "shall never, in any way, bo
commtnunicated to the persons reported"—tlicie
will be nothing (lint may not bo exposed to the
light of day.
2. The report# and information furnished by
The Merchants' Protective Union will be confined
to those who are considered worthy of credit
of some grade; and the names of none who can
not be recommended for some line or dcgi re of
credit will be mentioned or in any way referred
to.
It is tielieved the above plan, adopted after
consultation with some of tlie ablest counsel in
nearly every (state, will avoid the evils of those
heretofore in operation; will bo productive of no
harm; will work substantial jo-dice to ell; and
will at the same time, furnish reports moro truth
ful and complete, and therefore of much greater
value than any previot sty issued.
It will be seen, from their announcement in an
other column, that in September tlie merchant's
Protective Union w II publish in one large quarto
volume The Mercantile Reference Register, con
taining, among other things, the names Nature
of Business, Amount of Capital, Financial Stand
ing, and Rating as to credit, of over 400.000 of
the principal meictiants, trader* bankers, manu
facturers. and public companies, in more than
30,000 of Ihe cities, towns, villages, and entitle
ments, throughout the United States, their terri
lories, and the British Provinces of North Arner
rica; and embracing tlie most important infor
mation attainable and necessary to enable tlie
merchant to ascertain nt a glance tlie Capital,
Character, and Degree of Credit of such custo-
mers as arc deemed worthy of any gradation
of credit; witli a Newspaper Directory, contain
ing the title, character, price, and place of publi
cation, with full particulars relative to eacli
journal, being a complete guide to the press of
everv county in tho United Statcs
. Bjr aid of The Mercantile Reference Register
business men will lie enabled to ascertain at a
glance the capital and gradation of credit, as
compared with financial worth, of nearly every
mcrehchant, manufacturer, trader, and banker
within the above named gcograpicai limits. —
The price of ihe work is SSO.
Those wist,ing for more information on tlie
subject of mercantile agenoies will find the ques
tion folly and ably discussed in the July issue of
Monthly Chronicle of the merchant’s protective
Union. The pamphlet contains, in addition, very
interesting details as to the operations of the
former and existing agencies, ami a list of legal

Gen. Meade's Official Report Substantiates tk *
Outrages on ll’iThsiwj at Port Pnlaski.
W ashisctos, September 10. noon—Gen
Meade has reported on the Aslibunt Murder at
t'olumbu* Ga.. and relative to other matter*
pertaining thereto. The report substantiate*
the statement published of outrageous treat
meat of witneaoes at Fort Pulaski. The com
mandant of Fort Pulaski says the detectives
came to the Fort with the prisoner* in charge
with order* to have the sole control, of them,
consequently { assumed no authority except to
keep them yecqie. A naratire of sweat-boxes,
shaved heads and other lerrors follows.
Regarding Governor Brown's connection with
the affair, he say* in effect, that he employed
U own for his legal knowledge and influence
with tlie people. JJrojrp Jgipt-uled five thou
aand dollar* fee*. Tbi* amount, under ordinary
circumstances, General Meade would rot have
paid, but be was apprehensive the defence
would hire him.
Tb» Camilla Nxvrat—The Washington
Express of the 33d any*;
Major General Meade, who is the commanding
officer of the military district in which the State
of Georgia i* included, arrived here last night
from Philadelphia, and this morning had an in
terview with the President, and also with the
Secretary of War. From the letter, Genera!
Meade received special instructions to proceed
at once to his command, and prevent all further
disturbances by the use of the troops under his
command, and, if necessary, call on the War
Deportment for more troops. General Meade is
to hare instituted a thorough investigation of
the recent riot in Georgia, and, if possible, bring
the guilty partiee to justice. General Meade
will leave here this evening or to-morrow for
his headquarters in Atlanta.
A Baud Qcutiox.—Editors have bard ques
tions put to them occasionally, but of all the
hiud hardest toll* to the lot of ilia
Macon Telegraph.
A gentleman of limited means in Eufala, Ala,
write* that he would like to move to Macon if
be can afford to live there, and asks “can you
tell me what it cost# to support a wife in Macon!"
The valient writer makes bi« answer thusly:
Now, we appeal to any reasonable man to say
if just such another question was ever put to an
Bailor. He might ae well send to know the
dimensions of a piece of chslb, the length of a
fair distance, the si*e of a convenient house, and
all that, We have this, conclution or comfo/t
form it, he i* welcome to do so. ‘
We know of some wives—-good, clever souls—
who support themselves, and put by not a little
for rainy—aunshiny would be more sensible—
days; and others whose largest salary would not
begin to pay bill* It quite depends upon tlie
wife. Some women have no more idea of money
than has a turtle of 2,18 speed. Same, on the
other hand, comprehend the fact that a dollar
embraces just one hundred cents. It may cost
little or nothing to suppoi t a wife in Macon, or it
may cost everything and something more, ben
si me married people,however, always live witk
in their income, Believing our correspondent to
be sensible man, and knowing that his charming
wife is a good and sedsiblo woman, we invite
both to Macon.
Nmiso Kemkot torn Fxvaa.—The Sumter
(8. 0.) correspondent of the Charleston Courier
is responsible {"f the following cure for fever
among the negroes, which ia prevalent, also we
are assured in many of the lower counties of
this State:
'The prevalent fevor is an intermittent, in
nearly all c*»es preceded by a chili, and readily
yielding to treatment. Quinine ie ihe principal
agent employed, and, strange to aay, many of
the negroes anu even some of the mote ignorant
whites, have so strong a prejudice against thus
remedy that they will not use it. The dividing
line between the races has been so a*sidously
drawn and deeply indented by bureau and league
and uneurpulon* office-seekers, that the blacks
no "onger seem either to appreciate or follow
any advico which may ho given them by tho ro
spec!able white population. Jo many case*
of sickness among them, there is good authority
for tho statement lhat they decline with distrust
the vci j medicine* they require, anil resort for
a cure to tlie most ridiculous practices, such as
blowing in the month of a live frog, or walking
backwards to a tree and tying a string around
it in a hard knot, eilher of which is said to be a
sovereign reinutly for chilli and fever. With
drawn, as they now are. from the patient nurs
ing and prompt medical attention which tho
owners’interest and humanity alike formerly

of the lungs, it occasions no surprise that in a

to the bills of mortality. For even those mala

readily to proper treatment, under cliarlntin or
