TIIE JUVENHXMAWIEEBADE.
A BellgMfnl A«*Ir.
Tlie masquerade of the children of the
congregation of Beth Israel took place last
evening at the hall of the Hebrew Young
Men’s Literary Association, and was a
complete success.
The scene in the early hours of the
evening, when the liUle ones, some just
able to speak plainly, looking lovely in
laces,silks and all sorts of fancy costumes,
each with mask on, was novel, brilliant
and beautiful, and later when all un
masked the joyous surprise manifested
as each recognized some little friend in
the group of light-hearted maskers, was
truly refreshing to behold.
The ball opened with a tableau, in
which the children were arranged on the
stage of the hall in a beautiful pyramid.
The grand march followed, and was in
turn succeeded by the dancing.
Refreslunents were served early in the
evening and later to each one in costume a
neatly arranged bundle of candy and
fruit was given as they marched by in
procession. The distribution was made
by Misses Lola Landsberg and Ida Ein
stein.
The ball was very admirably gotten up
and managed by Mrs. William WolfTe and
Mrs. J. Dannenberg, and to them is due
the praise for the success of the occasion.
Kessler’s orchestra furnished the music,
and in their varied and handsome cos
tumes the little folks threaded the mazes
of the dance. Quite a number of their
parents joined in toward the close of the
evening. The attendance was very fine,

The party broke up.
Howard District and its Roods.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In
the issue of the Tiii.KGBA.pjl and Mes-
.UiNOF.it of the 2-4th instant, under bead of
road commissioners, I find the following
remarks:
•Tnder tlie management of the last
board of commissioners tlie roads of the
Comity have been kept up to a high stan
dard of excellence. In fact the county is
noted in Middle Georgia as having the
In-St public highways of any county in
this section.”
I believe all public servants should
have their due mead of praise and encour
aged in well-doing. But at the same
time justice should he done, “though the
heavens fall.” The above remarks may
be true in reference to the roads in other
sections of the county, but I must beg
leave to respectfully differ with you where
reference is made to the public highways
in Howard district. I can truthfully say
and will be sustained by a majority of the
citizens in this district, and those who
have been compelled to travel over the
roads, that they have been in worse con
dition and most execrably worked or ne
glected under tlie present management
and direction than any administration
since the system of chain gang work has
bee-11 inaugurated. The road on tlie
river route has not been creditably work
ed in two years commencing near Major
Carson’s resilience and from there up to
Mr. William Johnson’s and thence to the
county line. From Beaver Dam creek a
stream of “Fair notoriety,” which is near
our fellow citizen, Robert Coleman’s plan
tation, the public highway has been in
many places iu a deplorable condition,
and in one place between William John
son’s and I)r. Holt’s residence the road
has been in a well nigh impassable con
dition since last summer.
There were several vehicles overturned
and three to my knowledge that were bro
ken by falling in tlie deep sinks of the
s mil. And the fence rails which have been
thrown in to crossway this had place,
and others, amoimts to considerable,
which the height of fences on each
side of the road will testify. This place
became so bad and such a heavy tax to
the subscriber, that he hired six able-bod
ied men and a young man to superintend,
and had tlie road worked and ditched on
botli sides, putting it jn first-class condi
tion—better than any portion of road of
like character in the District, and had it
been worked projicrly by the mhnagers of
Jhe chain gang wlien here, it would-have
been in condition throughout the
whole f a |j a) f,i w iuter season, and
saved much' annoyance and expense. The
Commissioners of this District are very
clever, good citizens, hut they give the
public highways but precious little of their
attention: in fact, tlie Commissioners are
Worthless in the places for which they
Were apjiointed. They are relieved from
4 ,,r >' duty, etc., but they return no equiva
lent for tills favor; and it is to be hoped
that they will give at least a small portion
of their time to having the public roads
kept in a passable condition, or resign
tbeir places and let others be appointed
who will. This portion of the public road
has been run over rapidly, and only pntcli-
e, l up in places, and even that has been
slovenly done.

THE VOU'STEEBS’ FAIR

and its suburbs, last year, attained tlie con
siderable figure of 207, of which 46 were of
women. In most cases reverse of fortune,

Tbe Success of the Fielr Increasing:.
Another very fine crowd assembled last
evening, at the armory of the Volunteers,
to assist by their presence and contribu
tions in making the fair a complete suc
cess. The interest in the fair is general
throughout the city, and persons of all
creeds, denominations, politics, etc., have
visited the hall and contributed liberally.
The scene last evening was even more
brilliant than usual. The attendance of
ladies was larger, and those engaged at
the different tables were moving about
the hall, more earnest and energetic in
their efforts to accomplish the work in
hand than ever.
The hall looked like a living panorama
to a spectator. The tables all did well.
At the table near the lower end of the
hall nearly everything of value was sold.
The tin set was rallied, and won by Mr.
R. S. Saulsbury. A number of smaller
articles were also disposed of by raffle.
At the Fruit and Flower table, which
proved one of the most attractive in the
hail, a beautiful basket of flowers was
won by Miss Mary Lou Bacon. Here the
chances on the aquarium have nearly all
been taken, and it will be raffled to-night.
The elegant black silk dress at the Ci
gar stand was won by Mr. Willis Price.
This table did admirably last evening, and
disposed of a large number of small bnt
valuable articles.
At the Old Volunteers table the hand
some dinner set was won by Mr. Felix
Corput. The throwing resulted at first in
a tie between Mr. A. D. Schofield and
Mr. Coiput, but upon tlie second throw
ing tho latter was victorious. The pairof
blankets at this same table were won by
Mr. A. L. Butts. Mr. Foute, of New
York, won a pair of embroidered slippers;
the Volunteer and bride, by Mr. N. T.
Johnson; an afglian by Miss Kate Greer,
and a fruit cake by Mr. W. W. Wrigley.
The furniture, the large easy chair, and
the bride doll will be disposed of to-night.
The Domestic Venture table attracted
much attention. Mrs. Asher Ayers drew a
barrel of flour, Mr. Chris. Findlay drew a
ham and a number of other valuable arti
cles were drawn.
The restaurant was well patronized
last evening.
The drawing for the United States bond
will positively take place to-morrow even
ing. All tho tickets have been sold. To
night will be perhaps the biggest of the
fair. A very fine attendance is looked
for, and many of the articles now on hand
will be closed out at a sacrifice. Every
thing on which chances have been taken
will be raffled off this evening.
As the fair draws to a close, tlie ladies
are even more and more liberal in their
contributions to the restaurant depart
ment. The ladies have this morning to ac-
knowledge the following:
Mrs. Virgil Powers, cocoauut cake; Mrs.
John R. Booker, crullers and bread; Mrs.
J. C. Bannon, gelatine; Mrs. G. S. Obear,
turkey and loaf cake; Mrs. H. Peters,
pitcher ice cream custard; Mrs. Robert S.
Lanier, tongue, jelly, cake, lady fingers
and pickels; Misses G. and M. Hoge,
pickels and jelly cake; Mrs. Thomas
Wood, wine, jolly and light rolls; Mrs.
W. F. BrowD, pickets, loaf cake and but
ter crackers; Mrs. G. C. Conner, ice cream;
Mrs. F. S. Johnson, jelly float; Mrs. G. S.
Jones, sardines, crackers and chip beef;
Mrs. William E. Flanders, biscuit; Mrs.
E. E. Brown, silver cake and turkey; Mrs.
Emmel, broiled chickens and light rolls;
Mrs. J. M. Boardman, loaf light bread;
Mrs. A. Butts, three quarts milk; Miss
Hattie Tracy, small iced cakes.

The Killing on the Central Railroad.
The recent killing of Mr. C. Patterson
on the Central railroad, near No. 17 J,
still continues to excite a good deal of in
terest in Gordon, and opinion seems to
differ as to whether his death was caused
by the cars or by foul play. Many incline
to the latter opiniou. It will be remem
bered that the verdict of the coroner’s jnry
was that death was caused by tlie train
which passed over the body. One of the
witnesses who testified before the jury
gave in as his evidence that but a short
time before the train came down, he saw
Patterson and two other men sitting on
the track. One 6f them went away and
the witness walked off toward his home.
In a few minutes he heard two pistol
shots in the direction of the men on the
track, and in fifteen minutes after heard
the whistle of the engine.
The killing took place in sight of a
store. Four freight trains and the up-
passenger had passed the place.
The engineer on the last train saw no
one near the store hut a negro man as
his train passed. If he was in such a con
dition as to be liable to fall asleep at any,,
moment, the men who were with him, if
they intended to do right, should have
taken care of him. The hole jn the face,
conceded,to have been made by a bullet,
the absence of the money he had with
him, which has not been satisfactorily ex
plained, the fact that the two men who
came by just after the body was run over
were the same wlio were with him the
day before, all point to the conclusion that
the unfortunate man was murdered and
placed on the track. •
The Bond Commission.
At the office of Colonel John E. Jones
a meeting of tlie commission was held, a
full board and the members of the City
Council authorized to attend being pres
ent. The meeting passed off in not an al
together harmonious manner. The
matter of funding the Ross bonds, which
were issued to pay tho floating debt of
the city, and of which there are twenty-
five thousand dollars, and which were hy
pothecated by tlie authority of the last
Council as security, was discussed. It
seems the bonds have been but recently
sold by the city for S2| cents onthe dol
lar. , .
Asbarp discussion arose between Mayor
Huff and Mr. H.. L. Jewett, of the com
mission, on the subject, which was partici
pated in to a greater or less extent by sev
eral others of the commission. The
meeting adjourned to meet again on next
Tuesday afternoon x at the same place.
During the meeting twenty-five thousand
dollars of the new bonds were laid before
the meeting.
The Florida Yam.
Captain Bradwell, the clever editor of
the liincsville Gazette, is writing an inter
esting scries of letters to his paper from
Indian river, Fla. We clip the following
from his last missive : .
A land that will not grow potatoes is
pot worth 1 fighting for; and this country
produces them • spontaneously.’ Like
, they are cov-
orida or West
the vine, as at each
ered up by the sod.
India yam is the only potato planted; : and
although it is not equal to. the sweet yam
or the Spanish, with us, it will do well
enough for a West India yam. There is
no use to irottse or bank them, for they
can remain all winter without injury, in
the ground. They continue growing, and
fresh potatoes can be had every month in
tlie year.
New Yobk, January 20.—A Columbia,
South Carolina, special says: Great ex
citement has been caused here by the pub
lication of a very bitter letter by Colonel
John C. Haskell, son-in-law of Senator
Hampton, iu which serious charges are
made against General Wm. W. Gary.
This has grown out of the Gary-Hampton
controversy, and will undoubtedly lead to
serious results. General Gary, who is at
his home in Edgefield, has been tele
graphed for and will reach here to-mor
row, when it is thought the affair will cul
minate in bloodshed. Senator Hampton
is here, but Haskell explicitly states the
letter was written without hi3 knowledge.

outside, Johnson drew a pistol and shot
Ball in the breast. Ball siezed Johnson’s

Johnson dead. Johnson’s brother aud
others shot at Ball, one shot cutting his
face and the powder burning his eyebrows
and blinding liun. Ball lies in a critical
condition.

Talmage Compliments tbe Methodists
In his last Sunday’s harangue at the
Brooklyn Tabernacle Dr. Talmage, after
narrating the terrible ordeal of persecution
the Methodist denomination had under
gone, asks:
What permanent damage did intoler
ance do the Methodist Church ? The vast
majority of the pulpits of Great Britain
were shut against her ministers, the very
name of the church given in derision. In
the New York Astor Library there are
700 books and pamphlets against Method
ism. The intolerance has resulted in
making that the largest denomination,
the largest sect of Christians in tlie coun
try. In all places of civil as well as re
ligious trust
SHE HAS HER SCAN.
The present Mayor of our city, a
Methodist, the past Mayor a Methodist,
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, a Method
ist, the Secretary of the United States
navy a Methodist, the President of the
United States a Methodist, and some say
the next President will be a Methodist.
Intolerance never put down anything. In
deed, men and institutions succeed gener
ally in proportion as they are persecuted.
Better attend to your business and preach
the Gospel. Let Satan attend to persecu
tion.
Kelley’s Flan of Faying the national
Debt
Before the nouse Committee on Ways
and Means, Judge Kelley, in opposition
to the refunding plan of Fernando Wood
and Secretary Sherman, submitted a plan
of his own, which was to issue no new
bonds, but to pay off every year the twen
ty-seventh part of the issues of bonds ma
turing in 1880,1881 and 1891, which in
the aggregate amount, in round numbers,
$1,000,000,000. The sum required for this
purpose will be about $38,000,000 annu
ally. That is to say, by paying $38,000,-
000 per year for twenty-seven years, the
entire principal of $1,000,000,000, which
is the amount of the outstanding bonded
indebtedness, with tlie exception of the
four per cents, maturing in 1007, will bo
liquidated. Under this plan, the total
amount to be disbursed for interest on the
bonds in question will be $590,000,000.
Judge Kelley submitted figures to show
that this scheme was by far more advanta
geous to the government than Secretary
Sherman’s proposition to fund the matur
ing I>onds in new four per cent, bonds,
running fifty years, or Fernando Wood’s
bill, which provides for refunding with 3|
per cent, bonds, running fifty years. By
adopting Secretary Sherman’s plan Judge
Kelley claimed that at tho end of thirty
years we would have paid $1,200,000,000 for
interest^alone, and still be debtors for the
entire principal, while under Mr. Wood’s
plan we would have disbursed $1,800,000,-
000 for interest, and still owe the whole
principal.
Judge Kelley advocated his plan so
earnestly and forcibly that it is under
stood he has won over several members of
the committee heretofore favorable to
other propositions. They say that if the
Judge is accurate in his calculation, and
he doubtless is, by his plan we can payoff
in twenty-seven yeans tlie principal of the
maturing bonds referred to.at the rate of
$38,000,000 yearly, and disburse only
$596,000,000 for Interest during that peri
od. It is most assuredly preferable to
paying $1,200,000,000 in one instance, or
$1,S00,000.000 in the other for interest
alone without at all disturbing the princi
pal. It is the opinion of several members
of the committee that Wood’s three and a
half per cent, bond scheme is dead, and
that if Judge Kelley’s plan or something
like it is not adopted, there will probably
be no refunding measure passed this ses
sion.
A Big Bay.
Macon fairly loomed up yesterday un
der the effect of a magnificent day’s trade,
and the numerous attractions of the eve
ning. Her merchants were as busy as
bees, turning out their wares by scores oi
wagon loads to our country visitors. One
gentleman, a member ot a popular gro
cery firm, sold $1,200 worth of goods to a
single interior merchant, cash down.
Others did equally well, and business
seemed fairly active.
When night interposed her sable man
tle o’er the scene, almost the whole popu
lation turned out to enjoy themselves at
the several entertainments which had been
duly announced. These included the
Macon Volunteers’ fair, the Hebrew chil
dren’s masquerade ball and a rehearsal of
Belshazzar. The two first we attended.
The fair was a splendid success. Never
have we seen so many of the elite of the
city at any similar gathering. The spa
cious hall was simply a moving panorama
of human beings, and laughter, pistol
shots, the shouts of the rafflers and the
rattle of conversation formed a pleasant
and animating medley of sounds.
At the masquerade a brilliant spectacle
was presented. Hundreds of dark-eyed
maidtffls and blithesome lads engaged iu
the merry dance together, their happy pa
rents gazing admiringly on. The cos
tumes were bright and fanciful, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost.
Verily, there is no danger of the Hebrew
race dying out in Macon, to judge by the
troops of little Israelites who are coming
on.
Of course, under Mr. Butterfield and

One of these reads as follows:
Sound prosperity must rest upon a
sound basis,' and real money is the only
sound currency. To resume by the exist
ing system is as idle as to bail water with
a sieve. Paper notes arc essentially aux
iliary with a currency, but they are not
coin and not money, but substitutes for it.
But unfortunately these substitutes are,
except in extraordinary crises, always the
practical measure of value. The price of
nothing in America is measured iu rela
tion to coin, except in those periods of
collapse in which paper and all kinds of
property are brought to the sharp test
of immediate convertibility into coin, and
then with the result of a decline in value,
commensurate with the expansion of tho
Currency volume, of which three to one is
considered a safe rate, and is often much

inflation, resulting always and not seldom
in these ruinous reverses, that the people
dread the substitution of a bank currency
for Treasury notes.
We are quite willing to see the Sena
tor’s resolution pass—but not as an ini
tiatory step to the substitution of bank pa
per as currency for United States Treasu
ry notes—which, whether a legal tender
for debt or not, will furnish a safe repre

people, which local bank paper never lias

of the perpetual temptation to overissue,

He Preaches a Phillipic Against In
toleration in all the Churches—
Thumb-screws.
On Sunday last the sensational pulpit
orator of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, smart
ing under the treatment he had received
from many of the brethren of his own
church, fairly boiled over in his wrath
when abusing the intolerant of all denom
inations.
The spirit of his discourse evinced
that he himself wa3 a remarkable exam
ple of tlie intolerance of toleration, just as
we saw many exceedingly intemperate
advocates of intemperance in Boston last
fall. But the speaker, while uttering
some wholesome truths concerning the
lack of Christian charity, and tlie priestly
tyranny occasionally to bo found in all
denominations, greatly overdraws the
picture, aud slanders the living God.
There is an absence of dignity, and a savor
of the forum and hustings pervading eve
ry line of this so-called sermon, which illy
befit the sacred surroundings of the
sanctuary.
The text read: “ Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.” (Luke 55).
We give a sample:
Quoting tlie text, Mr. Tahnadge said:
Christ said to John and James, good men,
who had got mad and wanted the Samari
tans struck with lightning because they
differed in religious matters; John and
James thought they were doing a good
thing, but Christ turns their hearts inside
out and says, “ You think you are serving
me by being so intolerant of these Sama
ritans. You are not. Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.” There have
been great blundering instruments of tor
ture in different ages, but the thumb-screw
was comparitively delicate aud belonged
to tho fine art of persecution. Lord Cla-
verhouse called it a nosegay. It could be
carried in the pocket aud unobser
ved. Fastened to the thumb aud tbe
screw turned, it produced a concentration
of pain that would sometimes, not always,
make a man change his opinion. At the
first turn of the screw he began to think
that perhaps lie might be a little mistaken
in his religious seutiments. Another turn
of the screw and he was almost disposed
to adopt the opposite theory. Another
turn and he said,', “stop! stop! I think
just as you do.” Then the thumb-screws
unloosened. Now, some suppose that
that instrument of torture belonged to the
davk ages between Charlemagne and
Hildebrand. The fact is it belongs to all
ages and all churches—Catholic and Prot
estant, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,
Lutheran and Congregationalism It works
as lively to-day as it did in the tenth"
century. In other words, the
spirit is ever abroad which will make
you think, as it thinks, do as it
would have you do, or make you suffer.
Perhaps it would not kill you. Nor-the
thumb-screw never killed any one, but it
would phich you and twist you untilyou
surrendered. “Think as I do on tho sub
ject of lay delegation,” says the Methodist
Church. Some Methodist replies: “I do
not think as you do.” Put on the Metho
dist thumb-screw. “Believe as I do on
the subject of baptismal regeneration,”,
says the Episcopal Church. “I do not ac
cept your theory,” says an honest Episco
palian. On with the Episcopol thumb
screw. “Think as I do,” sajjs the Baptist
Church, “on the subject of close commun
ion.” One of their members says: “I do-
not believe that.” On . with, the.
Baptist thumb-screw.' “Forbid women’s-
preacliing,”says the Presbyteriah Church,
“and stick to'the old way ..of doing,
things.” A Presbyterian-responds: 1 '“I
can sec no harm in women’s preaching,
andlthiuk something new in the modes
of working maybe salutary.” On with
the Presbyterian thumb-screw. And in all
the conferences aud associations and coun
cils and Presbyteries of the country, there
are men who are, comparatively speaking,
in favor of thumb-screws. “Why?” you
say, “I do not see it.” Oh, beauty ofthe
thumb-screw. You may carry it in your
vest pocket and no one will know you
hare it. 1 know men who would make
splendid Herods, Arabs, Robespierres.
They hare all the spirit of social, political

his field iforce, $1,200 worth of gold ore.
Jackson, J., concurring. I am of the
opinion that when the estate of a bank
rupt is administered, one court should ad
minister it. The framers of the Ameri
can Constitution seem to have had unity
of administration in view when Congress
was invested with power to pass uniform
laws on the subject of bankruptcy. Un
less uniformly administered, the uniform
enactment becomes almost necessarily
multiform. Courts differ iu construction,
and tlie intent of the Constitution
is defeated by our complex system
and our diverse constructions. Whilst,
therefore, the question is settled
by . the adjudications of a majori
ty of the State courts, and especially
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, the last appellate tribunal on
questions arising under the constitution
and laws of tbe United States, that before
the revised statutes the courts ofthe State
had concurrent jurisdiction with those of
the United States of suiis brought to re
cover the assets of the bankrupt, it is not
plain to a plain mind that the question
was rightly settled. The constitution re
quired the law to be uniform, and if uni
formity of construction is essential to car
ry into effect the uniformity of enactment,
in a uniform manner, and if courts many
and jurisdictions many have precisely the
opposite tendency, it is reasonable to pre
sume that Congress desigued to give to
the United States Courts the exclusive ju
risdiction. But that is settled; let it stand
settled.
Afterward the revised code was enacted
and by that code exclusive jurisdiction is
vested in the courts of the United States
“in matters and proceedings in bank
ruptcy.” Is the collection of the asJJ
sets of the bankrupt one of the matters
and proceedings in bankruptcy? It is the
root ofthe system—the sine qua non
■without which there can be no ad
ministration of the assets. The great
] impose of the act is to relieve the debtor
from his past indebtedness and to pay his
debts with the assets he returns. Many
of these assets are choses in action, and
unless they be collected there can be no
complete administration of the assets; for
the reason that the court has not possess
ed itself of them, s» as to administer
•them. That the assignee may collect
them ■ through the district and circuit
courts of the United States, is clear; and
therefore the analogy between these courts,
or the district court and our courts _of or-
dinaty in respcarltYthe gririlPof power’to
administer the estate of deceased persons t
fails; for the reason! that our qbiii^s ofpr- i
dinar)’ have ha jurisdiction to-collect"any
thing by suits therein, and never, did have
any., '
But tliie jurisdiction of the courts of the
United States in. matters and proceedings
in bankruptcy is defined in tbe original
bankrupt act, and it Is expressly given
among other matters, to collect : the assets
ofthe bankrupt; and bythe reversed stat
utes the jurisdiction of those .courts in
matters and proceedings in bankruptcy,
is made exclusive. It would seem to fol
low that the part of the jurisdiction in re
spect to the collection, is rendered by that
enactment as exclusive, as is the adminis
tration of the assets, when collected, and
the final discharge ofthe bankrupt—or
any other matter or proceeding necessary
to reach the consummation ofthe entire
object of all the matters and proceedings,
to-wit: tile payment to on the bankrupt’s
debts as far as his assets will pay them,
and bis final discharge from the indebted
ness which those assets will not be suffi
cient to pay. r •
The words,'“matters and proceedings in
bankruptcy,” strike me as very broad and
comprehensive. T can hardly conceive of
two words which could well embrace
greater compass. A suit is certainly a
“proceeding.” The very origin of the
term imports a procession. I believe it-is
derived from the French word which'
means to follow, and in the olden time
the suitor was followed by hi3 suit, or
those who backed him; aud thus insti
tuted the suit with the procession which
followed h ! m. - '
So the word “matters” would seem to
embrace the collection of the property of
the bankrupt, as the very gist of the mat
ter—the marrow—the -cream—the fruit of
all the*matters in bankruptcy, so far as an
honest , administration of "those matters
affected the bankrupt's creditors. . . .
In addition to the reasons given by the
Chief Justice when this question was be
fore decided by us, I venture to throw out
these suggestions;
The dissent of mv able and learned as
sociate always makes me distrustful of my
own ruder judgment, even when fortified
by the venerable chief:-justice, who has so
long presided in tliis coqrt and whose life
is indissolubly Interwoven with -the
growth ofthe jurisprudence of Georgia
from its foot in first- Kelley -tothe latest
leaf upon it now; and jwhen that dissent is
sustained, in great measure at least, by
the highest courts in Massachusetts and
New Yoik, the distrust is 1, necessarily in
creased. iiww

was filed, would'seem, however, to

in New York- The Seaport Appeal is
not only hopeful, but sanguine of the re
sult. It says: :: ; v
Mr. Couper is still in .Now York; and
we are without definite information as to
the progress ofthe Macon aud Brunswick
railroad .movement.' Macon gets iip a
rumor eveiy day, bnt she has thus far
failed to start a single reliable conjecture.
We are altogether hopeful of results.
All developments and all shades of action
that have made themselves 'clearly visible
in the labyrinthian muddle of recent
events, indicate tbe entire freedom ofthe
Couper-Yibbard lease from entangling
alliances, and point to the road, with the
extension to Atlanta, as a foregone conclu
sion. It seems to be so regarded at : Ma
con, Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, Cin
cinnati and New York. Nobody, ques
tions the ability of the lessees to. perfect
the lease and miild the extension, and it
is folly to assume that they havn’t the
business sense-to secure the prize by
prompt action. ,
By prompt action we do not mean in
stantaneous action. Some little time ' is
required, even on Wall street, to • appifis ? n
