Times.l It seems that the business of acting as President of tha Untied States daring the absence of Mr. Hsyss has worn Private Sec retary Rogers out. He hss done as mnoh as ho could to hold np the administration and win llis applause of the country, but he has evidently begun to realize that he looked Ihs moral inwardness of Hcyes and has broken himself down completely. He has, there fore, gone to Ohio for a little rest, and will probably noed enough rest to keep him in that State till after oleotion. It is greatly to the credit of Ohio that whan any impor tant part of Ihs administration gets broken down ho goes out there for repairs. N. Y.

QiSUKUlA PltESJS. “Wk notice,’’ says the Atlanta Consti tution, “that tho press of the State are bringing forward the name of Hon. Jas, H. Blount, for Governor. Colonel Blount has mado a widespread and enviable rep utation during his Congressional career, having served upon some of the most important committees in the House; the people of the sixth district appreciate his services, and will return him.” Oar contemporary is conspicuously ex act in its statements as to the apprecia tion in whioh Mr. Blount is helu by tbe people of this Congressional district, as events, in our honast judgment, will''de monstrate. The Savannah Recorder declares that there will be an independent candidate for Congress in that district, bnt mod- es'tly retrains from naming him. It also is very savage on the lawyers of the dis trict, which ia repeating an ancient story, especially when a man has a little hatchet of his own to grind and thinks the lawyers ere in his way. Augusta is to have a freo letter deliv ery about the first proximo. There will ba four carriers and two daily deliveries. M. E. T. writes from Atlanta to the Augusta News that Judge John I. Hall says he “abhors a maohine politician,” and that he will not be in the Congres sional race next year, but that in all probability his law partner, Col. John D. Stewart, will. As to Nelms.—Oa this point "Specta tor” writes as follows to the Augusta Chronicle: Whether or not the Governor will 1J11 MUU IU UUWHIUU UDiOl A« 40 omu tufik there is a large element of the House in favor of condemning tbe Governor if he does not remove Nelms. He is certainly in a quandary. It he believes, as it is generally supposed he does, that he has made a faithful and effioient officer; that he did nolhing wrong in bargaining as be did with the lessees—if he believes this, then Governor Colqnittwill never remove Mr. Nelms. He is toe true a man to do it. But if he acta. on what are supposed to be his opinions on this matter, his ao- tive opponents are going to stir np a row as sure as fate. Any day we may stum ble on tbe iivest sensation of the session, one that would set the State agog—an or ganized and ferocious attack on the ad ministration, oombining all the elements whioh have hitherto hnrled ineffectually their Bpleen against it. I don’t believe tbe House will ever be brought to vote a direot censure on the Governor, for there is an abiding frith in the purity of his motives whioh his antagonists oannot overoome by any efforts similar to those they have hitherto mads. The Augusta Chronicle says “ Mr. Stephens and Col. A. E. Jiimar will prob ably be brought into the Brown-Garrard controversy. They know much about it.” Sxubokon fishing ia Flint river is fine sport this season. Tho Americas Repub lican says one was lately caught that weighed 132 pounds. Rome has great cotton expectations this season. The Courier expects 75/5M bales. She has already handled 2,100- of that number. Thb Rome Tribune states thatfou c daily passenger trains will soon be run on the S. B. & D. road, which statement surprises U3 so much that we can’t help asking our contemporary “to say it again and say it slow." The Columbus Enquirer says “ the general opinion in Columbus is that if Gen. Meade were living, ex-Governor J. E, Brown would never havepubllshed his long card in pretended explanation of his bitter proseeution of the Ashburn pris oners. Here, whenoe tbe prisoners were taken, his explanation is reoeivad with alter incredulity, nay, ntter disgust. Many copieB oE the testimony are still in existence, only one lawyor engaged in the defense is dead, and the whole facta and the united reoolleotion of all engaged in that celebrated oase are against the ex-goveruor. All the evidence is against him. Why, the recollection of all it! that his manner partook o the extromeat bitterness as if he had a personal grudge against the young men. In the official report of 193 pages there ie not one expression, one indication of a partiole of kindness for the accused. We have heard tho lawyers give their opin ions, tho prisoners and numerous friends their version, and if their was one re deeming act, one single beam to show that ex-Governor Brown was in favor of transferring the cases to the civil law, or that any understanding to this effect ex isted between him and General Meade, none were able to discover it until thiB latter-day confession of the principal prosecutor. In Columbus his statement is laughed kway with scorn. Mr. Laot Banks has lived seventy years in Oglethorpe county within less than twenty miles of AthenB, but has never visited that town, a faot whereat the Athenians must greatly wonder. The Oglethorpe Echo says, “the unan imous verdlot of farmers is that they lost heavily by using commercial fertilizers this year, some claiming that it waa in jury to their ootten. This ia not attribu ted to aDy decline in the brand of guano, inti to unfavorable seasons. For the past three years we believe our farmers have lost money by using guano. Less and less is purohased each Reason, how ever, and we believe in a few years but liUle will be bought.’! There is an immense amount of testi mony on the other side, if we are not misinformed.

Tookb3’ Fees.—The Augusta Chronicle is “still harping ou my daugh ter,” as the following under the above head proves: The Atlanta Constitution ventures to observe that General Toombs was the first to discover that tho railway compa nies of Georgia were indebted to'the State, and that he had been instrument al in turning into the Treasury |600,000. Our information ia that Senator McDan iel made the discovery prior to General Toombs, and we may be able to prove it by the record. Will tho Constitution show us by itemized accounts, or by any offi cial authority, that General Toombs has turned into the Treasury J600,- 000, or anything like that sum? Our contemporary has, we think, fallen into a gross error. It is possible that General Toombs exp60ta to turn into the Treas ury suoh an amount, less thirty per cent, divided between himself and the Attor ney-General. But that ho has already done so, is, we think, a mere assumption, not borne ont by any faota and not pos sible oE proof. We should be glad to have the proof, if the Constitutor can give it.

FORTY-NINE YEARS AGO, Opening of the First Passenger Railroad In tbe World. Baltimore American.] Just forty-nine years ago—that is, Sep tember 15, 1830—the first passenger railroad in England, the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad, was opened with great oeremony. A year before, a prize oE $2,500 had been offered for the best locomotive engine, which had been wou by Robert Stephenson’s Rock et, npon which were subsequently modeled the old grasshopper engines of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, their appearance being euggestive of the name. Eight locomotive engines had been completed and placed npon the line, and all had been tested with entire success. To every engine was attaobed four passenger carriages, each eontaimng twenty persons. The first engine, the Northumbrian, drew the moat distinguished guests—the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and other members of the Ministry. It had one tine of the double track to itself. The other several looomotives, with their carriages, followed each other on the other line. The proeeaaion started from Liverpool at 11 o’olook, with flags, mu- eio, fine weather and great enthnsl&sm. Seventeen miles from Liverpool they stopped to take in water, and in order to afford the Duke of Wellington an op portunity of seeing the procession, the seven looomatives, with their carriages, were ordered to pass slowly by the North umbrian standing on the traok. Several gentlemen had alighted while the loco motives were taking in water, and one of them, Mr. HuskiBSon, member of Parlia ment for Liverpool, and an earnest sup porter of the railroad cause, catching eight of the Dake ot Wellington, be tween whom and himself there had been some political coolness, ran eagerly across the track to shake him by the hand. At that moment the order was given for the seven engines to move forward. Mr. Huskisson Waa bewildered. The fiooket, whioh was the leading engine, attack him while tie was still in doubt where to flee. The wheels went over hi3 leg and thigh, and he expired that even- mg. The aooident oast a deep gloom over the day’s festivity. Tho trip was oonoluded, that people writing along the line might not be disappointed, but all rejoioing and gayety were at an end. Tbe next day the railway was opened for passenger t.affio, and carried 140 persons from Liverpool to Haneheater in two hours. Tho original calculations of the oonatruotion had been based on probable returns from heavy merchandise traffic— ooal, cotton and iron. They had formed no high expectations of any great emdu« menu from transporting passengers, but the railway was hardly opened be fore an average of 1,200 persons daily were willing to trust it with their lives. In a few years it was found that the enormous traffic was too heavy for the original nils, and it beoame neceaaaryto relay the road at considerable expense. But though September 15, 1830, is the greatest day in railroad annals, being that on whioh the world’s first railroad was opened complete, our Maryland rail road preceded the Liverpool and Man chester in utility. The first sod of tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad wu broken for its oonatruotion July 4, 1828, and by the next year horse oars, assisted by one loeamotive engine, were carrying passen gers and traffic between Baltimore, the Belay House and Elliott’s Mills. A ‘‘Prominent Southern Demo- , ernl’a” Opinion, Washington Special to Ptuladelphia Timec.l “And what of tbe President iri outlook?” “X think the tendency in tha Democratio party, eortrinly tha tendency in tha South, ia all towards Hendcioks. Hendricks ou a sen sible platform oould oarry the country.” “How about the Republican!?’’ “They ain’t stop the Grant boom. They aay the politicians havabaen organizing ths boom- That ia not true. The politicians are organizing to defeat it. Tne Grant boom ia a spontaneous movement and the politicians oannot stop it. It may be true, likely ia tone, that Blaine and fibermut are oombiuiug, or pooling their issues, aa against Grant, with the promise one to the other that whichever is nominated the other •hall be well treated in case of enocees. But it won’t work. Tne day that fioesoe Oonkling got hold of the mtohlnery of the State of New York, la the Interact of Cornell, the opposition to the Grant boom in the Re publican party became' tin do tent. The Onn-ime-oomAti —oendenoj meant eeveniy votes solid in tha Re^aolioaa nomination for Grant on the Ont call, and some enthusias tic, magneUo fellow, aa in . ths oase ot Hob Ingersofi with Blaine in Cincinnati, would be likely to rite and propose that U.ysees 8. Grant be nominated by acclamation, And he would oarry the day. I tell you they cum not stop it. Grant ia bound to ba the Re publican nominee. And Hendricks ought to be tho Pcmaoratio nominee againat him,” N. Y. Tribune, (Hep.) Chairnan McKinney, of the Ohio D«n eorauo Kxeoattve Committee, was in the city yesterday. He betrays no doubts of Gener al Ewing's 8UC03M. In answer to the ques tions of a Tribune reporter fie arid: “Ewing is going to be elected. We shall capture twenty or tweuty-five thousand of the Greenback vote of last year, and that will bring him through. Ewing ia making a splendid canvass. Heia on tbe stamp all the time, speaking twice a day. For a while he talced five hears out of every twenty- four, bat we cautioned him to be more mod- erate, and he now makes shorter speaoheB. Foster’s voice broke down. Ho tried to make five speeches a day and cculdn’t do it. Ewing's meetings are the largest Democrat io gatherings we have had in Ohio tinoe the Buohanan campaign. We have few ou ,side speakers helping us. Voorhee?, of Indiana, is doing good work, but we have nobody else that is very famous—nobody from the East and nobody from the South.” “Didn’t the Maine eleotion damage your proepeota in Ohio?” “Not at alL -If it had gone the oth er way—if Hmith had been elected—it would have been bid for us, because such a result would have encouraged our Greeabaokera to stick to (heir own ticket instead of voting for Ewing.” Boston Herrid.l The famous Judge Snell, .-of Washington, has made another famous decision. A law yer was charged with laroeny for retaining thirty-three per cent, of moneys collected, when ha had agreed to perform tbeservioe for ten par cent. The oourt decided the no tion would not lie, for, if every time a law yer takes his percentage and his client dis putes the amoontr he was to be prosecuted, theoouits would be kept busy. So Jndge Snell conceives it liia business not do jus tice, but to avoid beiBg kept busy. Washington Star.l That the season of prorpsrity baa set in is evidenced by tho large entries which are now being made of tho publio lands. The entries thus far mado exceed any sinco the days of tbe war; and what is still more grat ifying is the fact that those settling npon them represent the best class of foreign em igrants, who buy tne land outright and pay cash for ths fall amount. These aetileis come with money to sustain them-elvee, and seemingly form colonics in advance of emigrating, icaemuoh aa they enter land contiguous, and in each settlement ia to bo found men versed in all the mechanical trades. The sales of publio lands for this year will be one of the strongest arguments 8Y,er, set made against the. poliov of vntinir Phil. Times.1 Mr. Richard T. Merrick, of Washington, has been visiting Mr. Tilden, and gives tne public tho benefit of the information he picked up. Tha substance of it is that Mr. TilCen does not consider success in Ohio vi- ' tal to the Demoorata this year, says the Hew York Democratio row wo Yt amount to any thing, and is sore the Democrats will win in 1880, on the basis of the “fraud issue” in the Presidential election of 1870 and of the extra session questions. All of which will be chterfal news to Mosers. Ewing, Thur man & Co. PhUa. Times.1 It seems to be about time for Mr. Hen- drioks to assure the publio again that he will not be Yice President under any oiroum- stances. It would be very sad if the fact should be forgotten. The Cotton Tbade of France, it will ba seen, is reported to be even in a worse oondition than that of England, and ao- live legislation is invoked by tho manu facturers from the government. In England, the process of cutting down la bor seems to have been puahed already beyond endurance. The condition of factory operatives is now pitiable in the extreme. Jennings, the London oorro- spondent of the World, tells this anec dote in a late letter: I had oocasion to walk twelve or fifteen miles along the turnpike road between Sheffield and Mancheater on>> day last week, and I wob astonished at the num ber of tramps I met, and still more as tonished that very few of them begged for anything. I spoke to a tired-looking woman, who was sitting down on some grass by the roadside, with three or font ohildren playing around her. She said tier husband had been out of employ ment ever ainoe last February, that they had pawned or sold everything they pos sessed and were now cn their way to Manchester to see if they could find any thing to do. Neither she nor ths ohil dren bad bad a mouthful to eat that day,' and their appearanoe was ample confirm ation ot the truth of her statement. Her husband was atthat moment search ing for blackberries in the hedges, but the blackberries are not yet ripe and the prospect of getting a meal from this Bource was not a very good one. An inn keeper on the road told juo that ho al lowed as many aa fifteen of these poor men and women to sleep in his barn at night, and thateinoe he had been in busi ness ha had never known eo many tramps before, chiefly honest people, willing to work but not being able to find any to do. Of course these are only alight indications of the times, but I mention them because thev come under my own observation. If I were at liberlv to' tell you what em ployers eay concerning their affairs you would need little further proof of the tremendous ohange which has come over all the manufacturing districts.
