MACON, MARCH 23 **80.
The London Journal of Science as
serts that the one thing lacking to make
the beauty of American women perfect-
increase of fat—is now supplied.
There are 60,000 locomotives in the
United States, and each contains 2,600
pieces, requiring renewal every ten or
twelve years. This conveys a notion of
the industries which railroads foster.
—The London World says that “ank
lets, alias bangles for the ankles, are now
openly displayed for sale in the shop
windows, as well as In some cases on the
feminine extremities. What next?”
—The first organization of colored
Grangers was recently perfected at Dallas,
Texas, when a large number of negroes
met and formed what they call “The
Texas Farmers’ Association.” None but
colored families are admitted, and the ob
ject of the organization is to procure
homesteads. I(
Young Japanese children scarcely
ever cry, because great care is taken to
keep out of their way every possible
cause of irritation. It is probably in con
sequence of this that the Japs are, as a
race, almost exasperatingly gqojl humored,
so that a servant severely scolded will of
ten merely reply by a beaming smile.
—The Parisian dealers are very sly.
One of their favorite tricks is to place
their pseudo-antiquities in country inns
and cottages in Brittany or Normandy.
The tourist or the sportsman sees them
one day; the innkeeper says they have
been in his family for hundreds of years,
and the unsophisticated amateur pays a
long price for them and restores them to
their native Paris, which they had left per
haps only a few’ weeks before.
—The Supreme Court of Indiana de
cides that the legal name of a person con
sists of one Christian name and a sur
name. Any one may have as many mid
dle names or initials as are given to him,
or as he chooses to take. They do not af
fect Ids legal name. This is terrible, as
Mr. J. Lawrence St. Clare de Vere Al

—On the morning of March 8, shortly
after one, an elderly gentleman, while in
conversation in London with a friend in
an Islington omnibus, suddenly fell on his
face quite dead. He had been running for
some distance to catch the omnibus in
which he expired, and a few moments be
fore his death his friend said, “If you run
like that, old man, you’ll kill yourself one
of these days.” He had scarcely spoken
wKfcn the unfortunate gentleman fell dead.
The Irish Potato.—A Cork letter
says I wish I could describe a mountain
potato to you. The lowland root is waxy
and speckled and unwholesome enough
this year, but what words can convey an
idea of the wateriness and clamminess
and utter worthlessness as food for man or
beast of thnt grown in the bogs! And yet
the poor oreatures will say regretfully:
“Sure if we had a male a day of the
prates, ’tis little else we’d be askin’!
“Atin’ the bit o’ stirabout always is kill
ing; there is no substance to it without a
dhropo’ milk, but sure you could, ate a
pratee by itself, and ’twould rouse your
poor heart.”
—The Pope has been told by bis physr-
cians as their unanimous opinion that it is
neoessary for his health to quit the Vati
can and pass the summer where he can
avail himself of sea bathing: “You are
merely telling me that it is necessary for
me to do what is impossible,” he answer
ed, aad no more was said until a French
physician renewed the subject, and ob
served that the baths were essential, and
might be procured within the precincts of
the Vatican. So the Pope consented^to
measures for erecting a bathing establish
ment of salt water to be brought from
Civita Vecchia, and for. other mineral wa
ters to be procured.
—A parrot was allowed to give evidence
at the Westminster police court, the other
day. The bird was claimed by Mrs. Tan
ner, who said that it bad escaped from its
cage and been caught by Mr. Isaacs, who
refused to give it up., Mr. Isaacs admitted
that be. had caught the parrot, but disputed
Mrs. Tanner’s ownership.. Mrs. Tanner
said the bird could not talk much, but
could say “mother” quite plainly. Mr.
Isaacs said it; was in the habit of saying
“my lord.” The magistrate directed that
the parrot should be kept for some
hours to see if it verified either statement;
During the afternoon, the bird gave such
satisfactory evidence in .favor of Mrs.
Tanner’s statement that it was ordered to
be restored to her. —. *wl
The Coming Fight in GkeatBiu-'
tain.—The political prophet of’Uvaser’s
Magazine thinks that the political parties
at the next election its England will be
pretty evenly balanced. The Tories ought
to lose a dozen county seats in England,
Scotland and Wales, and some gains must
be expected in borough constituencies in
the west and north of England, beyond
the influence of the metropolitan ministe
rial press. Fraser hazards the conjecture
that a third of the present Irish supporters
of the' government will not reappear in
the next Parliament, and'says that Sir
William Harcourt was not far wrong
when he prophesied that the first'day of
the new Parliament would be the last day
of the old administration. - •
—Relief for I belaud.—The United
States ship Constellation, at the Brooklyn
navy-yard, began last Monday to receive
its cargo of donations of food for the fam- ;
ishing 'Irish poor. This vessel was set
apart by a joint resolution Of Congress
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to
fit ont a ship te convey Well donations of
food as might be made to Ireland free of
cost to the donors. Contributions of flour,
oatmeal, seed potatoes, cornmeal, pork,
hams, fish', beans, and any dther sort of
food tliat will keep will be received, and
anything sent in this way will be delivered
immediately to the sufferers, bn the spot;
and without further cost. "'A benevolent
citizen of New York has agreed to furnish
one-fourth of the cargo, and the New
York JJerald will provide another fourth
on condition that the remaining half is
made up from other sources. With these
liberal offers, it is reasonable to suppose
that the Constellation will very soon be
stowed and ready to sail.
NoFbost.—As it drew near sundown
on Wednesday, the danger of frost abated.
The temperature moderated—the wind in
clined more to the East, and by sunrise
yesterday, the mercury indicated about
fifty, and the wind was southeast. Yes
terday the wind continued in that quar
ter, with a cloudy sky, and
renewed rain.
Senator David Davis.
The New York Sun of the 15th booms
in a campaign ll{e of Senator Davis, of Il
linois,'occupying six columns of that pa
per. The Sun seems to be possessed by
the idea that the only practicable alterna
tive to a third term and an indefinite pe
riod of Grantism, is a union of all the op
ponents of Third Term Imperialism, and
this can be accomplished only by selecting
a candidate of doubtful party fealty, or at
least one who has never displayed strong
partisan bias. Senator Davis, of Illinois,
is generally regarded as occupying that at
titude. The newspapers, in classifying
Senators, ever since he has been a mem
ber of that body, by common consent say:
So many Democrats, so many Republi-
-cansr«n<I Senator Davis, of Illinois.
As to the Senator, personally, he is
claimed, to be a man of so judicial and
impartial a mental constitution that he
could not be a partisan or make a party
speech if he tried to do so. He is undoubt
edly a man of the old school, without
guile, single-minded and honest, as well
as clear-headed. He has never been com
plicated with any speculative or sinister
rings, either in finance or politics. He is
a man of moderate means, invested chiefly
in lands, and bringing him a modest , in
come.
The Sun bases its philosophy on the as
sumption that no sentiment of opposition
to the revolutionary policy of the third
term party will draw a Republican to the
support of a known and decided Democrat,
and in the absence of Republican recruits;
the Democrats are beaten—Grant is
elected and the revolution accomplished.
Two points of inquiry prominently sug
gest themselves in this connection. The
first is, is it true, universally, of those who
have acted heretofore with the Republican
party? On the 'contrary ,1s it not true that
thousands of them would prefer to vote
for a fair and popular Democratic candi
date to joining In such a dangerous move
ment to revolutionize the character and
settled traditions and usages of the gov
ernment. •
Secondly, if true, as to the Republican
party, is it true of the Democrats that all
of them could he induced to forsake their
party standard and vote for Mr. Davis out
of a pure, patriotic desire to save their
country from third term imperialism? It
is by no means safe or just to assume that
such a disinterested'' patriotism pervades
the Democratic ranks, and, at the same
time, is not to he found at all in the so-j
called Republican party. That a common'
patriotism will control all Democrats and
is powerless with all Republicans. This
is not good sense, nor does it accord with
the result in the Greeley canvass. '
' Wa believe the great mass of the party,
would support David Davis, if they be
lieved ft to be the only safe, wisd and judi
cious alternative to a third term; but this
is the question to be considered, earnestly
and with care. To sacrifice Democratic
unity in the perhaps vain attempt to di
vide the Republicans is like trading a bird
in hand for a bird in the bush.
Terrible Condition of Turkey.
A London telegram of the 14th instant
to the Tribune says that the embassies at
Constantinople have been notified from
the consular offices at Salonica, that with
the exception of the towns and their im
mediate vicinity the whole of Grecian
Turkey is dominated by brigands and in
perfect disorder. In Armenia and Kur-
destan a famine is raging over an area of
one hundred thousand square miles, and
five months must pass before another har
vest can mature.
The troubles between the Greeks and
Bulgarians in Eastern Roumelia have be
come so acute, and the evidence of a sys
tematic effort. by the Bulgarians to drive
away the Greeks and Mussulmans so over
whelming, that Aleko Paslia, Governor-
General,lias been compelled to issue a cir
cular to the Prefects, commanding them to
dissolve the Bulgarian secret societies
arid armedgymnastic associations. It lies
been resolved-to return to a gold standard.
This decision has occasioned a further
heavy depreciation in the metalic curren
cy, aodrtU, declared:to bo impoliticjxirnel

and the shopkeepers refuse to receive the
metalic currency except at an enormous
reduction.
The Railroad Commissioners Will
.' Do What is Eight.
Our readeis will find elsewhere a sy
nopsis of the criticisms of an Atlanta cor?
respondent upon., the general railroad
schedule which has recently been pre
pared and published, by the State Com
missioners. • The duties of those gentle
men, besides bfiing of an exceedingly del
icate and perplexing .description, f have
been very arduous. Theirs was an un
tried experiment, involving a multitude of
interests, many of 1 them antagonistic au,d
utterly diverse In tbeir operation. It.we?
equal to the task of Sysiphus to attempt
to harmonize them all,'yet this was what
Jwas required of them. That they did
their best, none can doubt, and moreover
po three citizens in Georgia possess more
entirely the confidence of the 'people. If
the schedulrftfiat has been printed is not,
therefore, free from faults and objections,
it is nothing more than was expected. It
frill require time, patiencO, and repeated
modifications to adjust it to the wants and
conditions of each railroad. The follow
ing Atlanta special to the Savannah News
indicated most'dearly tbe- animus, of tho
Commission: ,
' Atlanta,' Ga,, March 16.—I bad a
conversation with ex-Govemor Smith,
Chairman of the railroad commission, re-
garding.the. tariff recently published. He
said’it had been made as a basis of fates,
and if dn reasonable or nnjost to the pub-
licor any- : -railroad .or railroads, that fact
had only to be established to the satis
faction of the commission and the tariff
hr each'instance would be adjustedto suit
the case. I The commission expects par
ties interested to present their complaints
to them at an early date and are anxious
that'*lt should b’d done, as they do not
wish to do injustice to any railroad.
Governor 'Smith said also that in making
any changes the amount-oficapital invest
ed, the receipts and expenses, length of
toad 1 And the ainount of business done
would all be taken into consideration, and
.thatevery road in the State, would be al
lowed to do all the business it can do un
controlled by contracts.with other-roads.
He said farther that it was the intention
of tho commission to carry out the law;
.that it was constitutional, and that it
would be enforced in a manner which
would be equitable towards all railroads.
’ j —Steamer Montana, from New York,
March 2, for Liverpool, struck on the
rocks in.Church bay, Saturday morning,
ip a.dense fog. The mails, passengers
and crew wero saved. The forward com
partments of the ship are full of water.
She is afloat aft, hut there is not much
prospect of saving the vessel. The cargo
was valued at $150,000, which is supposed
to be covered by insurance. The vessel
was valued at $500,000. The pilot is said
to have been asleep when the ship struck.
The Freedman’s Bank.
The Senate select Committee on the
Affairs of the Freedman’s Bank has com
pleted its investigation and partially
agreed upon its report. The report will
show that all the circumstances were fa
vorable for the institution being a flourish
ing and permanent one, and that loose,
corrupt and inefficient management was
the cause of its downfall. Some of those
who were responsible for the misfortunes
of the hank and the defrauding of its de
positors, will he mentioned and their acts
exposed. The report will be accompanied
by a bill dispensing with the commission
ers now in charge of the affairs of the
bank, and substituting for them t^iq Comp
troller of the Currency. The Controller
will be empowered to wind up the affairs
of the bank, and will receive an addition
al salary of $1,000 therefor. The Solicitor
of the Treasury is instructed, under the
direction of the Comptrriller, to investi
gate the management of the bank affairs,
and, if deemed proper, to institute civil
and criminal proceedings against all thosi
participating in the fraudulent and corrupt
practices. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars is also appropriated to pur
chase the bank building, now occupied by
the department of justice.
Grady Sends Another Sockdolager
to the Constitution.
New York, March 17.—The Georgia
Western project is still being busily dis
cussed and apparently beading up rapidly.
Captain Gloster was to-day ordered by
telegraph to proceed at once to a survey
of the route to Blount springs by Terrapin
creek. Mr. R. Wilson intimated that to
build this line, which will be 140 miles,
will cost not exceeding two and a half
millions, and will strike the rich coal and
Iron'region.
The general report here is that New
comb has formed an alliapce with Wilson
and McGhee, who will use the Georgia
Western to connect their Memphis and
Brunswick system, and that Newcomb
will make Brunswick his port rather than
Savannah. He will go South about Sat
urday, and will doubtless make formal
propositions to Atlanta at once.
Undertbese rumors Nashvilleand Chat
tanooga stock has fallen from 124 to 85, as
all Louisville and Nashville freights will
be carried beyond it and delivered into
Atlanta by the new line, if it is built. The
Louisville stock has gone up steadily, as
the Georgia Western is a favorite project
with those interested in this: stock. The
conferences between Cole and Newcomb
here . terminated, it is.said, in disagree-'
ment and Governor Porter takes tbe pres
idency of the Nashville and Chattanooga
line. The Louisville peopletotday signed’
papers giving them actual possession of the
Southeastern road. H. W. G.
If the above turns out to be true it will

Messrs. Newcomb, Wadley and Alexan

A Wonderful Spring, "
The Tallahassee Floridian is credited
with the following:
Recently, while a party of ladies and
gentlemen were boating on the wonderful
Wakulla spring, one of the ladies dropped
a ring from her finger, and it could be
seen sinking in the clear water. When it
had reached a depth far below the surface
a trout was seen to make a dart for and
swallow it, and then disappear. Of
course it was given up for lost, but an in
genious young man present immediately
borrowed another ring, fastened it to a
hook, and let down his line into the crys
tal water. After paying out about ninety
feet of the .line, a trout was seen
to approacli the shining bait, and finally
making a jump at it, was transfixed. It
was immediately hauled up, cut open and
sure enough, there lay in his stomach the
lost ring. “This,” remarks the Floridi&n,
“may sound a little unreasonable, but
persons who are acquainted with the spot
and the remarkable clearness of the water
—which is so clear that a nickle loOks as-
large as life two hundred feet below the
surface—will readily credit tbe statement.
Wc could give the names of the parties
witnessing the strange occurrence, all of
whom will vouch for the entire truthful
ness of this narrative, hut do not consider
it necessary.” * • , _ r • .
A Father Shoots His Own Son..
The Savannah JS'ews priuts an extract
from a private letter giving the details of
the following heart-rending accident:
A terrible accident occurred yesterday
at Dungeness. Mr. B. M. Davis, son pf.
General W. G. Davis, the recent purchas
er, had the misfortune to shoot aiul kill
Ibis eldest son, a bright little fellow of five
years of age. The family had just moved
over from Fernandina the 1 day before, to

to see where the shot bad taken effect.

in the mouth also?’ 'No,. papa, right

The New York Journal of 'Commerce
of Tuesday gives the following extract
from the latest letters of one of the lar
gest and most influential firms in Liver
pool, and which, it says, reflects an opin
ion shared by many in New York who are
more directly interested in the price of
cotton than those against whom the re
marks are pointed. It is worth reading:
“What a fight you are making of it in
New-York against our strong bull tenden
cies here, which are the result of a state
of trade in Manchester yoiL.do.not fully
realize. Your operators would have
done'far better for ' themselves to have
helped us up—humored us, in fact, to the
top of our bent, and then let us down
With a rush, when they would have filled
’themselves with the fragments. As it is,
1 suppose,- as you say, they wanted to
draw us down to a lower figure in order to
get iu, but have got caught by a market
rising in spite of them and dare not now
turn round, and, as I suppose, they could
not close. It is Manchester who
is buying nearly .all the futures and
doing splendidly, as in consequence
of New York’s weak market they are able
to get distant deliveries cheaper than
spots. The beats need not think the cot
ton will be taken up—it will be wanted to
spin. I look for good trade continuing,
and, with the present enormous consump
tion, expect decided scarcity with 5,500,-
000 bales, which I really think is the low
est it is safe to put the crop at. Spinners
are now making from ljd. to 2£d. per
pound clear profit on all they spin. Why,
therefore, should cotton go down to 7d.,
or even stop at 74d.? Consumption would
not be increased a pound. Price has at
present little. to do with' the quostion, a
fact which New York won’t see, and I
fancy may have to pay for - not doing so.”
Far be lt from us to say or do anything
which shall promote the hazardous and
always, in the long run, ruinous busi
ness of gambling in futures; but neverthe
less, in ^h?-interests of }he cotton culture
aud traffic, we feel bound to give all the
facts of the situation. That situation, as
reported last Saturday, was, briefly, 4,344,-
639 bales against 3,90S,320 bales at same
date last cotton year, showing an excess
this year over last of346,319 bales, which
is now constantly diminishing. Last
week ii, fell off 14,122 bale3.
The crop of last year was 5,078,531
bales, which, of course, included overland
and Southern consumption. Making no
allowance for further falling off in weekly
receipts, or oflsetting it against any prob
able increase imder the'two heads of ove’--
land and Southern consumption, the crop
of 1879-80 would be 5,419,850 bales.
But there are yet twenty-four or twenty-
five weeks belonging to the current cotton
year, which arelikely, in our opinion, to
reduce the year’s receipts as compared
with last year, about a hundred thousand
bales net, so 4 that we look for a tot al crop
ranging about 5,325,000 bales, or 175,000
short of the Liverpool expectation.
It will scarcely be doubted that, with
existing prices cotton will go forward more
unanimously thaa it has done for years.
The Liverpool price is about two pence
higher than it was last year at this time,
and a better time to clear off than this
spring offers need not be looked for. The
stimulus of these fair prices on production
is already manifest in largely incieased
purchases of fertilizers and increased
acreage in preparation for the next crop.
Nothing but a decidedly unfavorable
season will prevent a considerable in
crease of crop for 1SS0-81. We expect to
see one next year in the neighborhood of
6,000,000 bales, and under the reactionary
influence of increased supply, prices will
come down several pegs. It often needs
very little real increase to exercise a vast
influence on prices.
And on tlie other hand, a -moderate re.
vival in prices is allowed to exercise an
altogether disproportionate influence on
planters in diverting their attention from
all the sound and well established econo
mies of their business. These all lie in
diminishing to the lowest figures, the ne
cessity of buying supplies of' all kinds. It
matters no great deal what possible price
the cottqn may sell for, a very meagre
balancey or a balance on the wrong side,
Will inevitably follow the purchase offood
supplies for man arid beast.

A Bare Sight at this. Season.
■ Yesterday,in passing, by.Mr. David
Walker’s stand, we saw exposed upon the
^bisimbjes,'portions'of a stall-fed beef that
would, hare graced Fulton market. Upon
inquiry, it proved to be an animal fatted
m this city. The flesh was as tender as
chicken, and the fat as white as a card.
Many wished a . piece of this tempting
meat, .but in a trice it had all been en
gaged. The ordinary country blue and
bloody beef sold in this market during the
daily spring, is hardly fit for anything but
tpfeed the beasts of a menagerie. Tennes
see beef ismtich better. But notliing can
compare wlthoUr home-raised, domestic
beef when properly'cared for and fattened.
It is wonderful why our fanners and
stockralscrs do not bestow more attention
upon this department of husbandry.

of an occasional job, even if it does some

But in Mississippi and Louisiana, largo
numbers haTe taken tbeir departure, andf
more still are following, despite tho har
rowing'tidings concerning those who have
preceded them. A St. Louis paper of the
17tli inst. says:
Not a day passes but a batch of im-
poveiished negroes is. landed , here, aud
the only feeling that seems to animate the
poor creatures is one of thankfulness that
they have had the opportunity to leave
that land of misfortuue to. them. It mat
ters not that they are told too many, per
haps, have come; that there is no money
in the hands of the local Board cf Relief,
to assist them to go,to the “land of prom
ise,” or even to give them a decent living
here. In the face of such .3', state of af
fairs they come, glad to brave any hard
ships. A small contingent arrived yester-,
day afternoon, and-early this morning a
large number is expected. Reports from'
the new arrivals are. to the' effect that,
there is a burning desire among the ma
jority of those they left behind to join the
throng, hut lack of funds, principally, and
the severity of the spring weather in these
latitudes, keep them hack. . When mild
weather has fairly set in the number of
refugees will be very large, it is expected,
•far in excess of the number that came up
last fall. ’ ' i
And yet while every effort, and the most
glaring falsehoods have been resorted to in
the endeavor to influence this emigration
movement, no provision has been made
for the maintenance -or employment of
these deluded creatures, and we are told
by the some journal that the so-called
“Relief Board is in a straitened condition,
being bard pressed to give assistance to
the few who are here already.” Human
ity shudders when it contemplates the fu
ture of these victims to a designing and
pseudo philanthropy. But in face ot the
facts that are patent to all Sonthern men,
the Globe-Democrat persists in saying
that:— j.<f , .
The theory that the negro does not
know what he is doing, that he is a mere
dupe in the hands of designing men, is an
insult to common sense. There is no
animal so low down in the scale of intel
ligence ’ as not to possess the instinct of
self-preservation, and an influence which
sends thousands and tens of thousands
of human beings, without any concert of
action, to leave the homes where all their
lives have been passed and to take all tho
risks and dangers of a new life in strange
lands, is a condemnation emphatic as a
curse from heaven upon the injustice from
which they are fleeing.
If the author of this fling against the
people of the South would visit the homes
of the exodusters, and observe their treat
ment and condition, and what class of the
blacks are moving West, and by whom in
stigated to do so, perhaps he might recall
his harsh language. We‘see 'no remedy
for this, emigration at present. As well
attempt to restain a flock of sheep when
their leader has slipped through the gate.
The cheek will come soon enough. But
alas, not before hundreds of the poor un
fortunates arc mingling their mortal re-!
mains;with the soil of that storm-swept
region of ice and snow. God help, the
wretched exodustere.'J. :
lie Tay Bridge Catastrophe.
Speaking upon the evidence given in the
(great Tay Bridge catastrophe, in Scotland,

As to the inetaLused-for the cblumn9,
moulders employed in the work for twon-
ty-seyen years “never saw. worse;” the
coke used for melting it was inferior;
holes and cracks were patched 1 up with ce
ment; none of the defective columns,
>‘whi<jh are, numerous, 1 ’ were broken up,
but went into tho work, am} sp on. The
inost favorable testimony was that of one
foremen who had been engaged iii casting
these columns, and he'said that the mate
rial “was.not sp terribly bad—for building
Iron.” Not a few witnesses, such as ex-
’rovost Robertson,‘of Dundee, an engi-
eer, testified as to the habitual reckless-
ess of the drivers on the bridge.
. The regulation speed. in crossing it was
twenty-five miles an hour; Mr.’Robertson
found that tbe actual rate averaged from
ftiirty to thirty-five miles, whilesometimes
when trains were behind time, they dash
ed over the two-mile-.long bridge at the
rate pf forty-two, forty-three and even
fbrty-seven miles. So great was the vi
bration that it produced in this old en
gineers mind a sense of fear and discom
fort, and some time before the accident
he stopped traveling over the bridge from
south to north, though he used it in his
daily journeys from north to south, the
southern bound trairis running much more
Slowly. •. .... .
He complained to the station-master,
\yho says that “he did not report these
complaints to riny of his superior officials.”
Other habitual travelers gave up the
Bridge on account of the oscillations and
took to the ferry. Altogether the evidence
thus far taken seems to indicate such
“scamping” in fitting up the bridge and
such recklessness in using it as our Brit
ish brethren have been accustomed to de
pict as exclusively and characteristically
American, and to compare, to our mani
fest shame and disadvantage, with British
solidity and caution.

“She wore a belted ulster cloak,

A standing collar and the tie,

A Derby hat sat on her nose,
She carried a rattan,
And all who saw her couldn’t tell
The lady from—a man.”

There is nothjng new in railroad circles Those of us who never prosper should
to-day, except the report that the Air draw instruction and consolation from the
Line Railroad'-has purchased the road
m from Knoxville to Maryville, Tennessee,
which would seem to assure the building
of the Rabun Gap road. This long-
jS^ught desideratum will prove, when com
pleted, a very important factor in the
railway future of the country. “H. T7.
G.” has bis usual dispatch, to the Consti
tution, hit or miss. This time he says,
under date ofNew York, March 18th:
A dispatch was received at Louisville
and Nashville headquarters in this city
this morning, from a prominent official of-
the road who is now in Georgia, in which
it is stated that a report had been publish
ed in tbe Georgia papers that the contract
between the Louisville and Nashville and
Central Road had not been ratified, and
could not be. The official telegraphed
that he had investigated the report and
was satisfied, from an interview with an
official of the Western and Atlantic
Road, that Governor Brown was
practically dictating the policy of
the Central, and that he was
in open hostility to the Louisville and
Nashville road, and determined to impose
upon them conditions that they could not
accept. The official went on to say that
it was his opinion from a survey of the
field in Georgia that nothing shortbf the
building of the Georgia Western would
give the Louisville and Nashville protec
tion and immunity in its southeastern
business, and he urged that steps be taken
at once for the rapid building of this road.
The opinion of this official has great
weight with the Louisville and Nashville
people, and confirms the pol’cy which the
lorce of circumstances already seems driv
ing them to adopt. •'
Your correspondent saw Mr. Newcomb,
who was naturally reticent under the cir
cumstances, and in reference to the con
tract of the Georgia Central, ho stated that
it was true that he had never ratified it,and
infact hehadnever so muchas presented it
to his board, owing to the incorporation by
the Georgia Central of certain conditions,
which he said he could not afford to ad
vise liis company to accept. Mr. New
comb is deliberate in arriving at conclu
sions involving such heavy responsibilities
as these, but it may be safely said that he
is now thoroughly in earnest, and that cir
cumstances will shortly force him to adopt
the policy that will lead to the building of
the Georgia Western road. . .■
Mr. Wilson says that he and Mr. New
comb have come to no definite understand
ing as yet.
So, according to the above, - tbe only
tiling definitely known is the failure, at
least to this date, as was suspected, of the
combination between Messrs. Wadley and
Alexander. Mr. Wilson has done noth
ing as yet, despite the memoranda left
upon the table in his consultation with
Newcomb, which were so satisfactory to
Mr. Grady. Possibly, the “Central” feels
strong enough after its affiliation with the
Western and Atlantic, to be independent
of Mr. Newcomb. In that event it is
but natural to conclude that the Louis
ville and Nashville road will direct every
energy to the construction of the Georgia
Western. But nothing whatever of a
definite nature has transpired. What
Mr. Wilson will do remains' to be! seen.
Those interested in the future of the Ma
con and Brunswick road, and the pros
perity of the two cities after which it is
named, feel a deep interest in the final
result.
A Wide-Awake Representative.
Hon. James H. Blount has introduced
a bill into Congress making Macon a port
of entry in the Southern District. Our
immediate member seems to leave no op
portunity unemployed to advance the
best interes-.s of his constituents. If At
lanta, situated one hundred riules nearer
the mountains and upon no navigable
stream, has been deemed worthy of that
honor, surely our own fair city, through
which flows the broad Ocmtilgee, which
is being deepened by the government, and
has carried in past days a vast commerce
to the sea, ought to be entitled to similar
consideration. Macon is also one of the
most important distributing points of the
South, anil every commercial facility
should be afforded to her. The success of
Mr- Blount’s action would necessitate the
erection of a custom house here.

A remarkable wedding recently took
place at midnight, when the moon shone
upon the moon shiners in the piny woods
of North Carolina. Buck Singleton, a
daring and desperate moon shiner, was the
groom, and Lillie Latour, the pretty
eighteen year old daughter of Morgan La-
tour, the “King of the Still,” was the
bride. The course of their true love was
as crooked as the whisky made in their
stills. For days they were so closely
watched that tbe ceremony could not take
place. Finally, riding to the most inac
cessible part of the county, two men were
stationed as pickets, and two others
scoured the country for a clergyman. Af
ter riding twenty-seven miles, a Baptist
minister was found who, after being told
that he was wanted to perform the cere
mony for a dying man, went and quickly
made tho twain one, for doing which he
was astonished at being slapped on the If babies coaid talk, they would often
back by the happy man, receiving $50 in . express their thanks to their nurses, for
effect of prosperity on the (‘great iron inter
est.” We can never entirely lose sight of
reason under the excitement of too much
good luck. Iron, though not a buoyant
article, has been floating on the silvery
pinions of an outrageous and unreasona
ble fancy, till it has lost sight of earth
above the clouds of speculation. • Con
sider the case of common cut nails, which
one year ago brought two dollars per keg,
and to-day, in Macon, are quoted at six
dollars. Nails might then have been too
low, but there can be no mistake about
their present attitude.
Yet, notwithstanding, the papers inform
M3 that the “Western Nail Association”
met at Pittsburg two or three days ago
and agreed to “shut down” all their mills
for two weeks, so as to work off their ac
cumulations' of stock. The two weeks
art to begin to-morrow. The telegram
which brings this information solemnly
adds; • j "•
This .action Is most impprtant,and shows
that the manufacturers are masters of the
situation. Its significance is the more
marked on account of the improbable ru-
morsthat have been flying about that
there was a break in the market and that
there would bo a reduction in tbe card.
These stories have. probably been set
afloat by jobbers who desire to stock up
at lower rates, and who thought the tem
porary blockade of the reads and conse
quent accumulation of stock gave a good
opportunity to break the market.
Yet neither nature nor trade ever intend
ed the iron masters to be the masters of the
people or the situation; and they may ex
haust themselves in the effort to perrna
nently occupy that position, but it will all
be in. vain. A paroxysmal .business, run
ning and stopping to sell off, may help tb
keep up prices for a time, but it will cost
more than-the mills make by it. It will
demoralize and disgust their operative
forces, diminish the demand for their
products, and develop, new sources of sup
ply. On the other hand, a steady prose
cution of their business will inevitably
lead to an adjustment which will afford
the mills a fair profit on their labor and
investment.
And as to the other iron interests, all is
confusion by reason of the good fortune
which has befallen it.' Our Western aud
Northern exchanges are a dreary record
of strikes and disturbances. The “pud-
dlers” are in a dreadful' puddle every
where, hecAise they are getting double
the. wages they did last spring, and like
Oliver Twist, with much less rbason, are
asking for more. The puddlers in Penn
sylvania last summer, were getting $2.50
per ton—are now getting $5.00 and $7.50,
and will 'not work because they must have
more. The other hands occupy a similar
position.
„ How it is with the employers we can
not tell, but it is a chance whether one of
the group is adhering to the good old prin
ciple of “making hay while the sun shines”
—supplying, to the best of their ability,
the active demand of the American mar
ket; but with their ill-advised strikes and
controversies, are turning over a consider
able portion of American trade to British
foundries. 1
' J When employers and men have crip
pled themselves in this way, will they
bring their “infant industry” into Con
gress again for more “fostering” and “pro
tection” in the shape of a heavier tax on
foreign iron to American consumers?
This is the ordinary way, but it is not a
just way. Experts talk of new processes
of converting iron into steel, but here is
an active process of making the whole
trade a steal, and giving it a steely effect
on the public morals, which steels the
heart against common sense and reason.
Earning Not All.
The Virginia, (Nevada,> Enterprise
laments that, although the men of the
Pacific Coast have mined $1,400,000,000
of gold and silver—have built one great
and many smaller cities—haye reclaimed
a great domain from barbarism—have
built roads and railroads—have establish
ed a rich and productive agriculture, and
teniples of religion, law and' learning-
still, the Pacific Coast industry is, in this
respect, a failure—that it has left a region
of poqr men, poor in pocket, trade, mor
als, personal comfort, and in all the char
acteristics of a thrifty, substantial, moral
and religious people. The. enormous
mass of the precious metals, has disap
peared, leaving a vast moral wreck be
hind it—a gambling, unsettled, adventur
ous and uncomfortable people.
. And it may will be questioned whether
any country relying upon a single all con-
troling interest^ often fares any better.
What has the r South to show as an ade
quate return for her innumerable millions
of cotton bales ? They have been re
turned to us mainly in goods which have
been consumed. They should be now
largely visible in provisions for supplying
our own wants by employing dur own la
bor, and so producing universal industry
aud thrift. They should be seen in a
large and active population, 1 bright and
comfortable homes, a varied industry pre
serving us from foreign outlay for the sup
ply of all our necessities—and In generally
& home life. This is what we need to
build up a real prosperity. That kind of
prosperity which consists almost wholly
in vast individual achievements which fail
to carry the masses along in its career,
merely acattei-s wealth abroad. It does
not enrich a country. ''■

Shall Kellogg be Unseated ?
It'is currently rumored that several
Democratic Senators arc opposed to re
opening the Kellogg case, albeit the Com-
mitteeon Privileges and Elections have
reported in favor of seating his competitor,
Judge Spofford,’. They urge expediency as
the ground for pursuing this course, and
some even claim that the case was res ad-
judicata,,uni cannot. be re-opened. But
there are precedents to show that other
members similarly situated have been de
prived of their seats in' the past, and as
for thef expeijipney part of the matter,
nothing will be gained on that score. The
Radicals are resolved to raise their favor
ite flag, the bloody shirt, in any event, and
have been gathering material for their
sensational falsehoods from the witnesses
before the-Exodus Committee, the emi
grants to Kansas and Indiana, and every
other possible source. They will inaugur
ate the dirtiest and most fanatical Presi
dential campaign ever witnessed in this
country. Let no paitry fear bf Congress,
then, deter onr Democratic Senators from
kicking out this corrupt interloper, who,
by the most palpable frauds, contrived to
insinuate himself into his present elevated
position. Justice to an honorable man,
a due regard for the right, and respect for
the august body of which they are mem
bers, all demand that their bogus colleague
should be sent “down and out.”
‘ Georgia” on the Work of the Bail-
way Commissioners.
The correspondent of the Constitution,
“Georgia,” has concluded his fourth and
last article on the recent schedule of the
railroad Commission. The papers are in-
teresting as showing up one side ol the
question. Doubtless the whole subject
pro and con, will be thoroughly discussed
and such compromises and modifications
adopted by the Board as may appear nec
essary in practice. The interests of the
people and roads should alike be consulted
without favo: or affection for either. That
juste milieu or happy middle course should
be sought which will dispense justice to
all and inflict special detriment upon no
one.. — —
To do this, however, immediately,
would require the wisdom of a Solomon!
Time, patience and mutual forbearance
will be necessary to accomplish the work.
We have an abiding faith in the purity 0 {
the Commissioners and their desire to do
that which is light in the premises
We extract as follows from the last paper
of “Georgia:”
Between the railroads and the public at
large there is no antagonism of interests
and there is much less diversity of pur
pose than is generally supposed.
The trouble is nearly altogether the re
sult of commercial rivalries, and the
struggle is mainly between the old estab
lished trade centres of the State and the
young and aspiring towns—the old trade
centres demanding to be protected in
their old sources of business and the
younger towns demanding to be liberated
from their tribute paying to the trade cen
tres and placed before the markets of tbe
world on equal footings. The older cit
ies being large and wealthy, more con
centrated and thereby able to act with
more unity, have made a strong fight.
The smaller towns, though more scatter
ed, are numerous, and have made their
influence fe.t. ;
The roads, as a general rule recogniz
ing the claims of the original trade cen
tres—partly because, in the nature of
things, changes from old customs are
slow—partly from self-interest, as it ena
bles them to hold up their local rates, and
thereby hold up' their revenue. Butin
the less aud less degree each year have
the trade centres had this recognition. As
the increase of business relieved the roads
of the necessity for so high a rate, the con
cessions were correspondingly made.
Too slow, however, to satisfy the towns,
and too fast to suit the cities.
. livery failing off of the road’s support to
the trade centres have brought down upon
them the bitterest denunciations, and
every failure to meet the demands of the
smaller, towns have brought forth tbe
same result—two laige communities con
tending for exactly opposite ends, using
the satpo war cry—discrimination, that
talismanic word that has only to be utter
ed to kindle the fire of indignation through
town, country and State; the railroads
being the weapon, as it were, for both
to use, and each in turn attacking
the weapon as it is wielded by
their opponent, to their hurt. Yet none
are brave enough or generous enough to
protect and defend it when it was firm
enough to stand by its own princiDles
upon the high ground of neutrality. Its
position becomes misunderstood, and in
time it comes to be regarded as a common
enemy, and the real issues of the struggle
are lost sight of. Actually at diverse in
terest, but apparently united, these con
tending .communities have been able to
make tbeir voice heard, and it is now
their voice that is being heard through
the mandates of the State Commissiouere.
Nevertheless, the scaling and leveling
principle has gone on—gone on until the
smaller towns are given facilities that en
able many of them to make daily transac
tions at the local railway station that a
few years ago could only have been made
at one of the ocean ports.
If let alone it will still continue to go
on—slow, it is true, and in its own way—
until the people have fully recognized that
all communities have equal rights; that
the railroads are simply carriers for the
benefit of all. Their aid is not to be in
voked in support of one community to the
detriment of another; that they are only
carriers, and must, carry for ail; local
disabilities of sections are not to be over
come by the improper and unfair adjust
ment of rates; that each locality must
bear its own burden of geographical or
other disadvantages, and rely upon them
selves alone;
That this result will be finally reached
I do not doubt. ,
If the railroads are ultimately to be, as
now appears so evident, the recognized
and confirmed means of moving and inter
changing the commerce of a great and
growing people, no one can for a moment
doubt but that this must be attained. But
to be reached properly it must be in its
own natural way. Slowly and without
shock to any community, without the sud
den uprooting of old established customs
and without bankruptcy, to these same
railroads that are to be relied upon at
least to perform this valuable service of
carrying the business of a State, and
in its own way, if let alone, this
wUl be- accomplished. What is lost to
tfie roads in a gradual decrease of their
revenues from a gradual leveling of all
rates, will, in the natural order of thins,
be as gradually made up to them by the
increased ; growth of tho business of the
country, and the opening up of new
sources of revenue. - The commissioners’
rates attempt to reach the ultimate con
clusion with one broad and sweeping
change from old established things, in the
wake of-which must follow disaster and
ruin, so needless that to make it seems a
crime., - •
■n The (kit Crop.
The oat crop, to which is due the credit
more than any other agency of delivering
Georgia, in a great measure, from the
bondage of Western com cribs, isatthis-
time a subject of much solicitude. About
Thomasvllle, ‘where large quautiliesof
this useful cereal are grown, the outlook
is decidedly unfavorable. Rust and blight
are generally reported. Rumors to the
same effect reach us from Stewart and
Clay counties, and up to a day or two ago
the copious rains with which we have been
blessed, had not reached that section of
the State. Ere this, however, they may
have done so, and perhaps with the aid of
an abundance of moisture the plant may
still retrieve its early promise.
In other portions of the commonwealth
we hear Of no complaint, but on the con
trary the prospect is flattering for a heavy
yield. The Early County Netcs hasa-
sample of oats', the average of a twenty-
five acre field from the plantation of Mr.
B.F. Long, which are heavily headed,
and measure three feet and eight inches
in height. A' member of the Ocmulgce
club, Mr. G. M, Davis, also left at this of
fice yesterday a bunch of oats three feet in
length, which he says is a fair specimen
of a prize acre he is cultivating. In Ma
con county the crop is likewise excellent,
and on the whole, with no untoward acci
dent hereafter, there will be a heavy oaS
crop harvested the present spring in Geor
gia. It should be said too, that the acre
age, in view of the last year’s sorry yield
of com, is larger thaa ever known before.
