In a convcrsat'on with Mr. R. L. Bloomfield this week that gentleman advanced several ideas about the Georgia Railroad Commission that impressed us most forcibly. He says [while believing that the people should have protection agaiast the monied monopolies that arc now usurping all the rail ways in our state, thus destroying by combination legitimate competi tion, at the same time he considers the present Commission of five men, empowered to regulate tariffs, an outragous usurpation by the state of private rights that is as oppres sive and unjust as the inquisition of Spain. He says the legislature and the cour‘- of Georgia should take this important matter in hand and not place this immense property at the despotic mercy of a few individ uals, with no right of appeal; that it is a species of usurpatous tyranny that must eventually work disaster to our institutions and is an attack upon the very fundamental princi ples of repubbliean government. Mr. Bloomfield says that the legisla ture should enact laws governin, railroads, and let them be enforced through the courts and by a jury of twelve freemen. Let either the people or the railways have a right at all times to appeal to this tribu nal. He further says he believes in the passage of a law preventing consolidation of our railroad inter ests. For instance, the Central road is chartered from Savannah to Macon, and there let it end. Do not give it the right to gobble up other lines and thus destroy that le gitimate competition which is the groundwork of commercial prosper ity. We think that Mr. Bloomfield has struck the right solution of this vexed problem. While we believe that the Railroad Commission in Georgia has wrought good, it has lately given signs of arbitrary oppression that if not checked will work serious injury to the development of our state. Al ready are capitalists withholding their money from further invest ments in railroads in Georgia, and most wisely, too, for they do not know what new step these dicta tors will take. Our railroad inter ests arc completely at their mercy, and it lays within the power of three men—a majority of this body —to bankrupt every (line of road in our limits. We arc now in favor of doing away with the Railroad Commission altogether, and adopt ing a plan similar to the one sug‘ gested by Mr. Bloomfield. As well had every cotton factory, or other corporation in Georgia, be regulated by commissions as railroads. These enterprises have as much right to access to the courts as any private individual. It is unjust to oppress them and take the entire control of this property trom the owners and place it at the mercy of four men. The impression seems to prevail in Georgia that railroads have no rights that the public are bound to respect, and that it is a commendable act to bleed them on all occasions. No enterprise has done more to build up and develop the country than railroads, and yet they give a less return on the capital invested than any other class of pioperty. In stead of oppressing these great ar teries of commerce every protec tion consistent with the interests of the public should be thrown around them. They should be fostered and encouraged by our laws. We ®d mit that the present tendency for consolidation by railroads is danger ous to the commerce of the country, and the people should be protected against the inevitable results. Mr Bloomfield’s idea of keeping roads within their chartered limits is an excellent one, if it can be done con stitutionally; but in the event that this fails the courts are always open for the correction of any grievance, and both sides should have access to them. The legislature can pass all laws necessary to check any in justice, and not delegate this power to five men with unlimited authority over private property. The rail roads can then know exactly what to expect, and govern themselves accordingly. Under the commis sion system a feeling of insecurity necessarily surrounds the railway interests of Georgia, and Will * exist so long as such circum scribed power is tolerated. It is necessary to remove this doubt, for no industry can prosper while kept beneath such a load. We want a commission to regulate this impor tant matter, but let that commission consist ol statutes passed by the leg islature and enforced by a jury of twelve upright and intelligent citi zens, sqforn to do equal' justice to both sides. Athens is now leeling the effects of this tyranny. Roads that are necessary to our commer cial welfare are retarded because the capitalists refuse to put their money in hi: and rolling stock un less guaranteed a better protection than is now extended them by the laws of Georgia. This, we fear, is only a beginning ol a justly founded timidity as regards railways in our -state, that will seriously check de velopment of the country." Out people are too.poor to build roads -themselves; end - they must look to 1'iapltal to do this work for This jfid will be withheld i we extend them that protec- which is equitable end just. - [tt^f^giiua; senate last Satu^ when the bill placing negro >ls largely-under .the. snperin- -of the negroes themselves ? , SenaW ^brtoh,; colored S,biU,be : nqt pressed, that it would injure the i education since very fit intake charge TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS.

The citizens ot Athens have about decided that they will tap the G., J & S. Railroad at this point, as it is about the best arrangement that can be made under the circumstances. As will be s en in the article from the Banner-Watchman, they pro pose to go to work at once, so as to have the road ready by fall. In a later issue of the Banner-Watchman we clipped the letter from President Raoul to Major Green upon the subject. How this may affect the project, or what its full import is, we do not understand. We have no doubt, however, but what necessary assistance will be given by the friends of the Georgia railroad. It is evident, though, that we must do all we can before aid can be expected from any quar ter. • The cheapness of the propos ed line makes this quite an easy task, provided the citizens of Athens fa vor the subject. As the Banner- Watchman says, twenty thousand dollars is ample to grade the road bed; in fact, it will not require near tiftt amount to do the work. With the road-bed and tics to negotiate upon, it will be an easy matter to secure the equipment. In three years the road will pay back every dollar that Athens put into it, and secure to Athens her legitimate ter ritory. Under these circumstances we cannot see why Athens does not move at once in the matter. Every day lost will only require that much more labor to regain the lost terri tory. Finm a Physician.
