This route has lone been regarded as one of tho most import ant of the projected roads in the south, and the people all along the line—fiom Gainesville to Bainbridgc —look with much favor upon the en terprise.

Will not every one try to do some thing for it and thus insure success to the uuderlaking. Jso. E. Dickenson, Secretary. 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. R. Thomas Jr’s' 126 Broad Street. C. S.

Mr. Way Byrd, of the firm of Dob- son & Byrd, an extensive mill firm, near Ousley, was in town yesterday. They lost their, mill by lire recently. They had no insurance.

Mrs. Spair will remain some time, but Mr. Spair will return in a tew days. The town could hardly get along with out John Spair. , Mr. Jos.

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 day to eo-opperato with the Northern Church. Thu vote stood uiucty five to seventy seven.

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.

All theso addresses arc to be pub lished in pamphlet form by the sccre tary of the congress. 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.
