This is, undoubtedly our great American grain—our national crop— and too much consideration cannot well be given to it, particularly at this time when special effort is being made to have it better known in the old world as human food, it being liable io become more damaged by long voy ages than wheat; it has not hitherto, been'so much exported as its impor tant and food-value entitled it to; but how that our ocean voyages are much more speedy than formerly, and improved modes are designed, this grain can be as surely exported as others. 1 am sometimes accused of running “ hobby*,** this is not quite true ; when convinced myself of a great good, I am quite earnest and persistent in try ing to enforce the same conviction up on the public mind for the public good.

Judge King sh^athgt he has now, as he always has had, the true interests of the Georgia Railroad at heart, when ho declares that heshouldh^allowed to retire from the Presidency of tiie road. The stockholders should accede to his wishes. He has served them long and faithfully, and they should be ■ and aie greatful io him for his services. But the venerable gentleman feels that he has served them enough, and he should be allowed to-- retire to quiet and rest after an official career full of are gentlemen of honor, truth and integrity; I am sure that all those whom I have the pleasure to know personally, are so.

There can he no doubt that the road is not in a proper- bus condition. For the present state of affairs, Superintendent Johnson should be held mainly responsible, because of the fact that Judge King's advanced age preventing him from active supervision of all the interests of the road, Mr. Johnson has had nat urally a greater responsibility resting upon him. Whatever may he said, this, at least, must acknowledged, that the management of the road has not been successful. In view of the retirement of Judge King it is well to consider what should he dona Mr. Phiuirv, .in the* inter view mentioned, suggests that the offi ces of President and Suprentendent he combined. This is eminently wise advice. As it is now, the Piesident and Superintendent divide the respon sibility of management. It would he better, for obvious reasons, that the ecjii'q'responsibility^should rest on «ie nflsn alone. ‘ fr-^5exander has been suggested as a suitable man to fill the combined offices.
