Next Thursday at two o’clock the most important meeting which has been held in Athens for twelve years will be called to order in the interest of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Rail road. It not only vitally concerns Athens, hut the people of Clarke, Walton, Oco- jtnee, Madison and Elbert counties, in thi* a mmediate vicinity. It is the second tep in the work of organisation which is groat system has taken. Tho char- r, with liberal provisions, has been •ed, and the first peg has been set in A »v where the first batch of sub- t > vigorously rolling up. The “ company wants about 175,000 in Georgia. Athens and vicinity will give at least $25,000—we believe the sum can be raised within a stone's throw of this office. These amounts sre ssked by the syndicate in charge of the railroad so that the projectors of this great road may be sure of the sympathy and sure of the solid support of the people along the line. That they have all this, goes with out saying raying. We have never seen the towns-peopl# or the country people more interested—more actively inter ested— in any’enterprise. Given the Geor gia, Carolina and Northern Railroad, they will feel sure of the future of their city and section, sure of railroad su premacy, sure of a full territory, ripe and nnridden, for trade. Let us have the Georgia, Carolinajand Northern across the country to Elbert to Carolina, to the rich Savannah valley in both States—to the North snd East. The money should be raised in Athens if every man has to melt his plate and mortgage hia town lots to get it. Thursday’s meeting is full of richness for Athens. I,et every man who is in terested in the future of Athens come yip and have a place in its session. GOOD FOR GOV. GORDON. .-.The message submitted by Gov. Gor don to the Legislature on the subject of the convict lease has attracted considera ble attention. It shows that be is bold and resourceful and may be the entering wedge in breaking up the convict lease in Georgia. Gov. Gordon, after summing up some of the objections to the convict lease, says the State will not be justified in continuing the system provided it can be changed legally and without the viola tion of good faith; and provided also that a better system should be practicable. In this we cordially agree with the Gov ernor. The present leas system carries many abuses and is only better than the old system of close confinement Gov. Gordon recommends that instead of the employment of convicts on the public roads, as has heed suggested, the State's present force be engaged upon an experimental farm or agricultural station. One farm might be started immediately, and if the experiment is successful addi tional farms might be worked in differ ent parts of the State. Whatever may be the relative merits of the two expedients, both are better than the lease system, and we feel that Gover nor Gordon has “made a break,” to bor row a provincialism, in the right direc tion. The lease system, if it can be al tered, should be done so promptly. Gov. Gordon has readily met the ar gument of the objectors to this reform, in that he has already proposed a system that ii infin*. ely better. CONCEALED WEAPONS. There is an important matter before I the Legislature in which sxme of our I officers of the law are seriously interest- led. It is a hill to allow arresting officers I to carry concealed weapons. The pres- lent law does' not sanction this. They i required to wear their pistols belted about them, or conspicuously in view nd rather than suffer the inconveniences r such military regulation, frequently |go untrmed. A policeman in a large city, who is a (few hours on hia beat can afford to walk during ihe regulation time with his pis- ol stripped to his hip, his gloves on and his club in place. But take the cate of a ounty sheriff who is always on duty, tiding about the country or walking phout the city. It ia awkward and ham- friqg to force such in officer to be belt- I and holstered. He is always liable to tcalled in to keep the peace, however, nd constantly confronted with lawless Characters who are armed, who carry oncealed weafbns and who are ready to leixe any chance or take any advantage, law is a silly one, and if it has a oint, haa as carefully concealed it as he weapons at which it was aimed. It honld be amended or repealed—better ho latter. 4ff MILES OF THE CENTRAL SE CURED FOR THE FLORIDA EXTENSION. A Trip Ovrr U>« Liao From Macon to Round Oak and now tbs Party Woro Flossed. Schooner Load of Balls on the Way- Other Kotos. |Macon Telegraph.] At tha invitation of Col. E. C. Machen, of the Covington and Macon railroad, a special train left Macon at 11 o'clock yesterday morning on that road, bearing the following party: Col. Machen, Coi. B. W. Frobel, Maj. W. H. Ross, one of the directors, Mr. A. Craig Palmer, treasurer of the road, Maj. J. F. Hanson, Mr. George P. Turpin and others. Ac companying the party was Mr. Thomas Worthington, of Manchester, England, who ia a capitalist and represents a syn dicate that has purchased bonds of the road to the amount of one million dol lars. He is in Macon for the sole pur pose of looking at the road and the coun try t .rough which it traverses. The ride, in spite of the inclement day, was a delightful one. The train left the depot at the park, and was soon crossing the river on the new and hand some bridge which is now receiving its finishing touches. This wss noticed to be strongly built, reaching fur above the highest water mark. Leaving the river the opportunity wss afforded to test the road bed, look at the country and note the grade and curTe% Tho train rolled over the track solidly and smoothly. The Toad is built four feet eight and a half inches guige with fifty-six pounds steel rails, end these have the best modern fastenings. There was no jolt or jar, although the rate of speed was sufficient to develop any that might be expected from a new road. This is accounted for by the superior msrner in which the construction is be ing carried on and the eTon grades. For a long distance after leaving the junct’on with the Central the track is built along the top of the ground, there being very little need for pick and shovel. The party cn route gave much of their attention to the country through which they were being carried. Here wss a stretch of the finest timber and here was chain of farms, each link of which was a cotton field. It was a new country, whose bosom had just been harrowed by the broad, flat nose of the locomotive, and which now for the first time had been given a cross-lie outlet for its pro ducts. The train reached the terminus af the rails, which was within sight of Round Oak, thirty mi'es from Macon, about dinner time snd in a short time the coach wss converted into a dining car, in which was served an elegant dinner that had been prepared bv Messrs. ,1. G. Camp bell & Co, of Hie Hotel Larier. Over the viands the road and its prospects were discussed. About half past 2 o'clock the party re turned to Macon, delighted with the trip. Mr. Worthington expressed himself as being surprised snd even cha-med v» ith the road and the country. There are now thil tv-one and a half miles of rails laid, and'yet not a cent of subscriptions has been asked for. The road passes by Clinton, but those in that place who subscribed to it have not been called upon. In fact, $6.1),(XX) have been expended upon the bui’ding of the road thus far and no: a doi'ar has been taken from Georgia. The fills have been paid promptly,'thcre arc ro outstanding bills and the woik is carried on 0:1 strictly business principles. Cob Machen is in receipt of a telegram which says .he schooner Minnie Smi.h is now at Chester, l’a, loading with rails, and another schooner wiih 8(1) tons on board is afloat somewhere between Perth Amboy and Brunswick. Us arrival looked for at any day, and the rails will then be fastened down upon the mile3 of crossties that now await them. THE Fl.ORIPA EXTENSION. In an interview with Colonel Machen last night, in reference to the Florida cx- tension of Ihe Covington and Macon, he laid that as a matter of course progress had been stayed by an injunction, which comes up for a hearing on the 11th inst., but that otherwise the ertension was a certainty. A construction engine left the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Pat terson, N. J, on tha 28th of last month, for Macon. It is understood that the Covington and Macon have made an arrangement with the Central railroad of Georgia by which it can come into Macon from the south on its line and using its terminal facilities upon an arbitrary arrangement, such as is used by the Atlanta and West Point railroad at Atlanta ThustheCov- ington and Macon will have tho right to run its trains solid from the point where it leaves the Southwestern railroad, upon a reasonable and equitab'c basis, leaving the two compares entirely independent of each other, except that the Covington and Macon wi'l run its trains under the rules of the Central railroad, when it atrikes the letter's track. This gives the Covington and Maco forty miles of road-bed already construct ed, and it is probable that the trains will run in and out of the union depot. The surveying corps have been at work in Dooly county, though it wastnot deter mined at what point the Southwestern track the line would leave it on its way to Florida. MACON TELEOBAPU’S EDITORIAL. We will take occasion here to refer to the systematic efforts which hive been made to retard the work and injure the Macon and Covington railroad. Col. Machen haa the work of construction in hand. Reporta have been industriously circulated that the company had no money and did not pay its bills. We de fy any man to preienta claim against the company, from a cross-tie to a locomo tive, that is due and unpaid. It has also been said that the road was poorly con structed, that grades were heavy and curves too sharp for safe or successful operation. Wo have refrained from any expression upon this point, waiting for an opportunity to speap from personal knowledge. We have keen over the road for a diitance of about thirty miles and do not hesitate to say that in pointof grades, curves, construction and equipment it is the best new road we have ever seen, and we advise all who doubt our state ment to make a trip over it to verify or refute the sa ,ie. This company was organized for the purpose of building from Athens to Flor ida. It haa acted in good faith so far and is prepare I to go on with the work. The State of Georgia owas it to herself to see that there is no obstruction or delay. The people of Macon and the section of country through which it is proposed to build it have interests in the matter that are vital and what tl a/ cannot afford to jeopardise.

He believes it will be finished in time to carry off our next cotton crop, The meeting in this city on the 9th will take definite steps preparatory to commencing work. Col. Smith is in constant and close communi cation with the officers of this road, and is in a position to speak authentically. He says there is no city in the South, Birmingham, Ala., excepted, that haa a greater future than Athens. Our people do i\ot yet realixe the great things in store for them. THE MACON * ATHENS. .1 udge W. B. Thomas says there is not a shadow of dodbt about the M. Sc A. road coming to Athens, and thecars will be running between this city aqd Macon by next summer; that all this talk about the road going to Atlanta is mere “moonshine,” and the people inter ested may rest assured that Col. Machen will comply with his contract to the let ter. He says thesurveying corps isnow at work this side of Madison, and are lo cating the line and putting down grading stakes as they proceed. Close at their heels the grading force will follow. Eve ry arrangement has been made, and there is nothing to prevent the road from be ing completed by the time stipulated in the contract This statement from Judge' Thomas should settle all donbts. THE A. A C. LINE. Athens is not at all uneasy about the Augusta Sc Chattanooga railroad giving her the go-by. It is argued that with the increased importance of our city as a railroad centre, that this road will be obliged to take us in, even in the event our people not subscribing one dollar. A new railroad had as well expect te leave Atlanta a few miles on one side or the other as Athens. To secure the business necessary to operate a road it must take the most important points, and the Washington and Athens route presents them. Why, our city will supply more freight snd travel than any other five points on the projected line between Au gusts and Chattanooga, So one can see at a glance the folly of talking about this road leaving us a few miles on our east. It it is once built—a fact we seriously doubt--the line will certainly pass through Athens.

Hoke Smith, R. J. Lowry and C. J. Collier, incorporators of the Geor gia, Carolina and Northern road. Upon motion Mr. H. \V. Grady was called to the chair and requested Mr. Hoke Smith to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Smith stated that a number of gentlemen interested in North Carolina roads reaching from Monroe to Balti more were anxious to get a southern connection and contemplated building a road to Atlanta from Monroe, direct through Elbcrton and Athens. He stat ed that these gentlemen would not force a road through a territory that took no interest in it That South Carolina would raise $100,000 subscription and that Georgia ought to nuse about as much. The gentlemen themselves had agreed to subscribe $500,000 to the stock of the road and to take ten thousand dol lars a mile of five per cent bonds at par. That arrangements have been made with the Cranburg iron company of North Carolina to take additional bonds at par, and furnish steel rails. These subscrip tions would insure the building*6f road. The promoters of the enterprise insist that Georgia shall subscribe $100,- 000 and South Carolina an equal amount, simply to give those states an interest in the enterprise and insure the road local backing and encouragement. A sub scription of $40,000 by Atlanta .would se cure the road. This would be getting a better road for less money than world ever be done again, or had over been done before. The new toad would bo 270 miles long, would run tb rough the very best section of Georgia, Uid through the famous Abbeville district of South Carolina. It would be an immense feed er to Atlanta, and give her a new and in dependent line to the north. Atlanta would have three directors on theboaril, and her interest would be jealously guard ed Gen, Hoke,who would belargelyinter ested in tlia building and management of the road, was as much a Georgian as a Carolinian, andjthe headquarters -of-tho road would in all probability, be estab lished in Atlanta- The road wdnld be built under the beat' management and closest economy, and could be’ leased at five per cent on its cost, upon completion The stock would be good. The profec- tors therefore,li ad not asked-far a gift or a bonus, but simply for a small subscrip tion to a stock that would be worth the money. . Mr. Hugh Inman thought that Atlanta ought not to hesitate a moment about giving the $30,000. Mr. Smith stated that he would give $2,500, and was authorized to subscribe $1,00 for Mr. C. A. Collier. Mr M. C. Kiser aslced to hear from the other incoporator, Mr. R. J. Lowry. That gentleman stated that he ready to subscribe his part to this enter prise, as he had always done to any *ni-, leprise that looked to Atlanta’s interest. If it were necessary, he would give $1,000, bnt he thought the subscription should be made a general one, and $500 would be enough for each man. He, however, put his name down'for $1,000. Mr. \V. A. Moore stated that Moore Sc Marsh would subscribe a thousand dol lars; and that there ought not to be any difficulty in raising the amount.. Dr. J. W. Rankin stated that he would subscribe five hundred dollars. That be would make it more, exetpt that he had other important enterprises under consideration himself to which he would have to subscribe liberally • ., Mr. S. M. Inman said be-was satisfied the road would be built, and thpt the money ought to be forthcoming at once. He would put down hit name.for one thousand dollars. ’ Colonel Geo. W. Scott said he did p/it want the people to forget the Atlanta, Missiasipi and Atlantic road wfaioh ins Atlanta’s most essential enterprise, but that he was willing to help anything that helped Atlanta and would subscribe $1,000. Many of the gentlemen present stated that they would like to consult their partners before making a subscription, but every man present agreed to be rep: resented in the list - Several other. sub* scriptions were made which carried the I ‘ “ and ordain deacons at St John’s church tomorrow.

TBs Democrat* will Hava s Fair IToiklBE Majority ta th* Sousa, Washington, Not. 30.—General Clark, clerk of the House of Representatives, has, up to date, received but two full sets election certificates from the proper State authorities. Maryland and Louisiana have been prompt in notifying the clerk officially who are the Representatives elect from those States entitled to seats in the Fiftieth Congress. No notices of contest have been placed on file with the clerk as yet, slthongh it is probable that the committee on elections will have sev eral eases to consider after the organiza tion of the new House is completed. Up to date, General Clark figure* a Democratic majority of' fifteen in the next House, and five members—one' each from Noiih Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, Kansas and Wiaconatn-^-who are not classed with either of tho leading par- ties.
