By a recent business connection with a prominent Georgian, the Rome Tribune is feeling solid-r. The well nigh perfect system ol public schools in Georgia is denomi nated by the New Orleans Times as “ the pride of her people.” Judging from what we read in the Marietta Journal, the colored citizens of Marietta are certainly anticipating Christmas by indulging in mean whis* key. Collins will, it is said, contest Black's seat in the First district. This is the only contest in Georgia of which we have any notice. Mr. Collins ought to have a hard road to travel. Col. Black was fairly elected. REDUCED RAILROAD FARE. Mr. Wadley, the veteran president of the Central railroad, has been in terviewed by the reporter of the Savannah News, on the subject of the last act of Hie railroad commissioners, reducing the passenger fare. When asked if the reduction of the passeng er rates would have a beneficial cr contrary effect upon the business of the company, Col. W. replied that such result did not enter into the question. ' - principle involved/ which wa. pernicious in its ten- denees, was alone to be considered, and if it were conceded that the Com missioners could pursue such a course the natural inquiry would he, ‘‘What next? Where will this interference stop l’’ There is no small amount of force in Mr. Wndley’s objection. While it is right that the railroads should be prevented by law, if necessary, fror.i exercising their great power to the •leti intent to the people, at the same time they- should m t be oppressed by law. The people of Georgia, as well as the railroads will be fortunate if they do not learn by experience, be fore long, that a mo«t dangerous power is lodged in the hands of the commissioners. Exactly how far the state should interfere in the manage ment of railroads, is a problem not yet solved. We can daily see how the railroads may regard the last act of the commission as tyrannical. The democrats of the Senate have killed a scheme for raising the price of every glass of good lager beer drunk in the United Slates. If the session goes on in this way, according to the New York World, the democrats will do more in two months to retrieve the disaster r c 1880 than they did in six yeanftUVffert it BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. The Gossip of the Capital. Mayor Cooper has put John Kelly out of office, but he cannot shear him of power altogether. By a republican alliance, John Kelly has thrived hith* erto. By a republican alliance, his enemies li»vo dethroned him. There is too mnoh republican alliance in New York democracy. The hog trough should bo the party symbol in New York. Here is the old Wall street method as described by an expert: First, easy money ; second, an inrush of eager buyers; third, a rapid spurt iu prices; 4lb, tight money; fifth, prices break and the margin-makers 3re ‘scooped.’ Until the patience or the money of tho general run of speculators is ex hausted the ‘ milking’ piocess is an easy ono. Col. Bill Harris said to an At lanta newspaper man the other day: “I know of plantations in Worth oonnty which could have been bought for a rifle or a shot gun several years ago, but are now held at $1,000.’’ This statement is about as near correct as those of Messrs. Toombs and Ste phens, to the effect that Georgia is growing poorer every day. Recent advices from Atlanta indi cate that Fulton county will have republican candidate for Ordinary. This is an important office and the “stalwarts” should look well to its bearings upon future occasions. Should the Republicans succeed in this effort, they might possibly be en- abled to locate the county polls and increase their number to suit their convenience to the detriment of the county. Georgia has inaugurated an emi gration scheme of her own through tho enterprise of a railroad corpora tion having 3,000,000 acres of salable land in the northcasem part. of the state. One bnndred Swiss are nounoed to set sail from Havre, De cember 4th, to found the Georgia Switzerland. Georgia is the most progressive of the southern states, and seta an example that may be followed with profit by the others. • The people of Pensacola, Fla., have suffered a terrible visitation 61 fire, which consumed seventy-five buildings, comprising the greater part of tho business portion of the city, all the newspaper and telegraph offices—the total loss being estimated at half a million dollars. With charac teristic American energy the flames are scarcely extinguished before the sufferers Announce their intention to rebuild and resume. The lesult will be that tho oldtfashioued, half Mexi can architecture having disappeared from the heart of Pensacola, a more modern and pretending style will rise from tho ashes, a result only to be regretted by artist*, who by their pea- *.> have made the quaint scenes of the town so familiar. It is gratifying to know that the Pensaooliana are not need of assistance; despite their heavy Jossee. (From our Special Correspondent.) Washington, Dec. 17, 1880. America is, of all countries, the most cosmopolitan, and Washington in this respect is its typical city. May be there are more “furren gents’’ in New York and Philadelphia and San Francisco, but they ate submerged in mighty populations, and are not seen in such bold re'ief. In Washington they stand out in picturesque novelty and attractiveness. Take any morn ing in the winter, and walk irom the Treasury Department to the capitol, and one can see more strange people than could he seen in half a century in any city in the South, except per haps in wicked and delightful New Orleans. The droschkv of the Russian minis ter will dash by, drawn by a pair of “ Tartars of the Ukraine breed’’—at least we will imagine them to be. The Russian minister is a magnificent looking man, and ns he lolls back in his luxuriously fitted carriage, envel oped with furs ami sables, it can he easily seen that he belongs to the proudest and most cultivated, most adroit and diplomatic, and more than all, the most cruel aristocracy ot Eu rope—the Russian nobility. A very different man is old Sir Ed ward Thornton, the British minister. He may be seen any day, driving with bis flaxen-haired daughters, who re mind one ol Rowenn, the Saxon. Sir Edward is himself a gray-haired old gentleman, with mutton-chop whisk ers, and a sort of leaden look about the lace, suggestive ot much of the roast beef of old England, washed down with generous libations of port wine. The goodness of Sir Edward’s cellar dees not detract from his popu larity in Washington. But here come some members of the Chinese embassy. Those almond eyed celestials excite much interest, to all of which they are supremely ins different. They go clattering along in their peculiar shoes, and carry their pig-tails as jauntily as il the whole country belonged to them, ns the Cal ifornians believe it will some ol these days. Aud who is this gentleman w ho comes down the street as if the pave ment was not wide enough for his triumphal progress ? His lace is as red as Barilolph’s nose, of which or gan Falstaff said that a flea on it would look like a soul iu hell He has on the most impossible pattern of pan taloons that ever adorned a gentle man’s nether extrcmi'ies. His waist coat is of a piece. HU tall, white hat is set on at a mkisb angle of forty-five degrees, and it-mny w ell be doubted whether the watch he wears is quite as large as the fob which indicates its presence. This is a character. It is Col. Tom Ochiltree, ot Texas, who is said to be the most self-sufficient man ou the American continent. It was of the Colonel that the New York Son loftily writes: “Oh, Tom Ochiltree htt come out of the South, To make us the music he nukes with hia mouth. In all the broail reach of this land of the free. There ia no such a yamer as Tom Ochiltree.” It was this same gentleman who commenced the practice of law with his father, a very distinguished mem ber of the Texas bar, and when the old gentleman returned home alter a short absence, during which he bad instructed Tom to have the office sign re-painted, was astonished to find that Tom had re-painted the sign and re-lettered it—“Tom Ochiltree and Father, attorneys at law.” Il a half a square we may meet the Arabs, who are now exhibiting their national games, and representing the whirling Dervish. We may see a long-haired medical Fakir, or Indian doctor, who prelendB to deal in won derful medical herbs and cure-alls for every sort of diseases. Plain Io- dians, in their national costumes, add to tho novelty of the scene. It is very difficult, by the way, to keep these worthies in their national attire. They are prone to take advantage of the liberality of Unde 8am, and array themselves in store clothes of a gor geous type, hardly surpassed by the rig of Col. Ochiltree himself. One don’t know how many different sorts of people there are on the foot stool until lie comes to Washington. CHRISTMAS THINGS. The windows of the shops are non filled with the most beautiful Christ mas things, many of them so beautiful and rare that the eyes of the little folks in Georgia would dance with delight to sec them—and the streets are full of ladies shopping and buying articles, I suppose, to lend to Santa Cl-tus. In ail of the magnificence of our great capital, you are reminded that “ t,be poor;are always with you.” Little barefooted girls and boys are' begging on the streets. Poor little souls! hungry enough they look, aud very cold, and he has a I ard heart who cm roughly rebuff the “phase, sir, give me a penny,” which is invariably their piteous appeal. ULYSSES, THE GREAT, is iu Washington now. He came in a few days ago, with the ladies of his family, and is now stopping with his friend, Gen. Beale, a rich Washing tonian. He was met at the depot by a large delegation of the “ Boys in Blue,’’ and lias been toted and ovated with great pertinacity since his arrival Fitzbugh, the first democratic door keeper after the war, was turned out of office by a democratic congress be cause he wrote to a frieud in Texas— “ I am a liiger man than old Giant.” This was very hard on Filzhugh, and I have always thought his friend acted very meanly to give him away as he did, but we hardly think that the door keeper was “ a blger man than old Grant.” lie is the bigge.-t man to d.iv on the American continent, except maybe the president from the tow-path. I saw General Grant to>-day for the first time. He was on the floor of the House while it was in session. It was immediately moved that the House take a recess for ten minutes so that the members could be presented to him. Certainly a very great houor to an American citizen, but not great er than the same congress has already paid to Mr. Parnell, the Irish patriot, who is now giving Queen Victoria so much domestic trouble. The motion was carried, although there were a few rebellious members who had not the fear of men or princes before their eyes, voted no in a very distinct voice. Grant then was presented to all of the members, who came torward to shake hands with him, and then the officers of the House, and even the little pages had their turn at the hand that re-; ceived the sword of Lee at Appomat tox. Grant looks a good deal like Judge Erwin, of youi circuit, though appar ently not much more than half so tall. He certainly lias one of the most de termined faces I ever saw, and there is certainly a great deal of magnetism about the little man. You feci it un mistakably. They say he has quit drinking altogether, at which all good temperance people should rejoice.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. “THE gentleman from GADDIS- TOWN,” had the floor yesterday in the Senate, and delivered a much-talkcd-of speech on the bill to sell the public lands and divide the proceeds among the several States, in proportion to illiteracy, to educate the poor children. The papers speak in the highest terms of Senator Brown’s speech. The Washington Republican has a leading editorial on the subject, entitled “ A healthy breeze from Georgia.” The New York Herald devotes quite a portion of its valuable telegraph space to eu logies on the chunks of wisdom that fell irom the emphatic lips of oar new Senator. Senator Brown pointed out that nearly all of our prominent men from Washington to Garfield, had been poor boys, and had by their thirst for knowledge, and their indus try worked their way up to the top. It would not be hard to imagine that the Senator remembered from his post tion of vantage in the Senate cham ber, the time when he plowed the historic bull, and barked bis shins over the new.ground stumps away up in the 9th district. IN THE HOUSE, as was predicted in my last letter, the discussion on the electoral count has come to nothing. It has been laid aside, and the House has got down to business. It passed on yesterday the fortification appropriation bill, aud the representative from the Ninth was on the floor for a little while, in resisting the efforts of the Military Commitee to appropriate 8400,000 to build fortifications on the sea coast. Mr. Speer pointed out, on the author ity of Gen. Grant, referring to it in one of his messages, that modern ex perience had demonstrated that earth works were a sufficient protection for guns and troops, and that the day of fortifications of masonry had passed It was not the masonry ot Fort Sum ter, he said, that kept the powerful iron-clad fleet of the Union from Charleston harbor, but it was the im pregnable system of earth-works, manned l>y ihe Southern artillery, that accomplished that result. The amendment was defeated, and thus $400,000 was saved to the Treasury. Mr. Speer’s remarks were the last made before tho vote was taken. LUCK OF THE GEORGIANS. Mr. J. R.
