ant of the projected roads in the

line—fiom Gainesville to Bainbridgc

terprise. Operations will be begun in
earnest early in the fall, and we trust
the work of construction will go for
ward with all possible speed.—Floridi

Bainbridgo and her New Railroads.
The Democrat of the 23rd inst., in
speaking of the proposed line from Al
bany, says:
There is no enterprise that would be
more important to the progressive and
rapidly-growing city of Albany than
this proposed line into Florida. True,
is a “railroad centre,” but she does
not and cannot control any line enter
ing her corporate limits. She now
proposes to build and control the A1
bany & Quincy line. Thomasville,
too, is goinc to build a railroad inde
pendent of all other lines.
It will be seen that the Albany &
Quincv road is to lie built via Bain-
bridge, and beyond a doubt it will
prove a blessing to our town. A mul
tiplicity of railroads is the only thing
that would give Bainbridae the com
merciai position to which she is entitled.
The Alabama Midland will help us for
awhile, it is true, but lor lasting benefit
we must have more railroads. The
indications are that we will have them
in the not distant future. The Bain-
bridge. Cuthbert and Columbus is a
probably, of which Hon. John E. Don
elson is the head, so is the Georgia &
Florida, of which GJGunby Jordan is
the leading spirit. With ail of these
contemplated roads are completed, we
feel quite sure that Bainbridge would
quickly assume the proportions of the
leading metropolis of this section of
Georgia.
We only hope our contemporary is
correct in his prediction that Thomas
ville is going to build an independent
line to Cordele.

Corp. Taunev lias succeeded in ex
pending all but a half million of the
S»2,000,000 appropriated for pensions
this year, and it is estimated in the
Treasury Department that the able
corp.’s liberality wilt cost the country
8105,000,000 before the close of the
present year. A good many will
question thfc propriety of “Saying the
Nation” if the salvage is to cost all
the nation is worth.—Ex.'

London Truth says that “the Sevres
Swiss desert service in the green draw
ing room at Windsor is valued at
,£100,000. Also, that “there are six
Sevres vases at Buckingnam Palace
for which there would be an eager
competition if they were put up to
morrow at /'$00,000 ”
Hou^e -furnishing in London seems
to be a rather expensive business. But
then, uerhaps, young married couples
just beginning house -keeping don’t
always buy a desert service or vases
ol that kind.
The Southern Presbyterian Assem
bly, at Chattanooga, decided yester

ern Assembly, which is now in ses
sion in New York, was notified of the
action by telegraph.
The man who could run a paper to
suit everybody is iu heaven, wearing
a crown of'gigattie proportions and a
double set of wings.—Bainbridge
Democrat.
If the inference, that those who
cannot run u newspaper to suit every
body, go to the otJur jtlacc, is to be
drawn from tho above, theu the great
body of the fraterniny need not troub
le themselves about linen dusters,
when they start Sn their last journey.
Messrs. Dekle & Cook arc pro
gressing nicely with their new build
ing on Broad, xet to Bruce’s corner,

The Radical Row.
The Constitution’s specials yester
day reiterate the assertion thut three
members of the Cabinet are ou the
eve of resignation. We take this ex
tract.
“Tho Constitution’s account of the
threatened resignation of cabinet offi
cials still stands uoimpcached in every
iuportaut particular. The facts re
main entirely uucoutroverted that
excessively strained relations exist
between the president and at least
three of the cabinet officials; that at
least three of them bavo notified their
chief that they cannot consent to pose
before the public as occupauts ot po
sitions of trust and responsibility
when, in reality, their services arc of
a purely clerical nature, and the
same three members have been for
some time particularly vigorous in
endeavoring to secure numerous ap
pointments, only to have the presi
dent disregard their wishes and make*
changes in defiance of their recom
mendations.
The account published yesterday
was obtained from high sources that
have always proved veracious, and
are still known to be so.
The Savannah train brought in an
extra coach yesterday. It was used
