A SCHEME THAT WILL HABDI.r PAN OUT.
Atlanta, G a ., Oct 37.—A movement is on
foot that is fraught with great interest to the
people of the south, and especially to those of
Georgia, which state is, more thau any other,
effected by the Richmond Terminal deal.
It is stated that arrangements nro.in prog
ress for th* purpose of holding in Atlanta
about January 1st, an interstate convention
composed of representative men from every
stnto traversed by the, consolidated lines,
witli a view to forming in each ot those
states stock companies of enormous capital
for tho purpose of building in connection
with each other, lines that will iimke the
principal cities independent of the Richmond
Terminal.
The spirit of opposition to monopoly is
running high in the south and it is said that
millions of dollars In small subscriptions
osu be quickly raised.
The plan is that each state stock company
shall own and control its several lines of
railway, and that several companies shall op
erate their trains in connection with each
other. It appears that the people, and espe¬
cially business men, do not propose to allow
themselves to remain at the mercy of a great
monopoly.
II SAIII.IOUTS.
The Savannah, Griffin and Nortli Alabama
railroad case is postponed until next Friday,

Rumors of an internecine war among the
new owners of the Georgia Central are al_
ready rife. A powerful Raoul faction is re¬
ported to he at work to reinstate the Cen¬
tral’s former president in January and oust
Gen. Alexander. Swann, the partner of
John II. Inman, is astr»ng friend of Raoul
and will support him.
It is said that the express office at Griffin
will soon be moved into new quarters to be
provided either by the express company or
the railroad, the present room being needed
for u baggage room, What the railroail
should do is to build a new and commodious
union depot at the Newton lumber yard cor¬
ner, with room for all departments; put a
shed over the trains and move the freight
depot to the other end of the lot. This would
be bettor for the railroads and for Griffin.

Darkness and Mud.
“Sweetness and light" is the somewhat
dandiacal phrase with which live Sate
Matthew Arnold garnished his writings and
upou which he dwelt with what many consid¬
ered too frequent iteration ; yctail must ac¬
knowledge that without sweetness and light
life would be an existence devoid of pleasure
and full of oppression in mind and body.
It would he like a night scene on the
streets of Griffin.
If the distinguished English man of letters
lived in Griffin in this day and generation—
or, better, in this night and degeneration—
the things upon which lie would most ani¬
madvert would be the very opposite of the
words quoted. His subject would of (neces¬
sity become “Darkness and mud,” mid the
iteration would be repeated until overcome
by both.
The hapless wayfarer whose business or
pleasure may call him out after sundown is
frequently obliged to exclaim, like the miser
in the school reader when the cellar door
falls and locks him in, “Darkness ! Where
am 1 *” But instead of playing with the
red gold, the miserable man flounders around
in the red mud until lie perishes or is carried
to the lock np for staggering on the streets,
Hwouldf.be little wonder if tho citizens
of Griffin, turned [from Christianity by the
perverseness of their existence, should be¬
come sun-worshippers ; for it is only by the
light of the sun, direet or [reflected from the |
moon, that they are enabled to see their way !
When there i* no moon there is nothing to
posts. keep them from stumbling over the lamp |
Why is it that Griffin, which we are some j
times reputation proud that to call only a city, other lias gained place such Geor a j j
one in
gia, the village of l’almetta, is regarded as !
muddier 1
Tlie reason seems to bo that Griffin is city ;
a
with a village council : a [council with a tea
jority of members who do not know w hat a
council is for , who oppose all work upon
the streets or any but the primitive and inad
equate system of lighting because it costs
money—not Having, apparently, the faintest
realization that it is their business to spend
the revenues of the city for the benefit of the
citizens and not to hoard or fail to collect |
them; spend them wisely and economically
but give of the benefits of living 1
us some |
under a eity government. It is because the
council seems tojhaye a preference for dark
ness and mud that the citizens are obliged
to grape in them. !
But let us not be overcome with too great |
discontent ; if we havo nothing else, we .sti.l
have the sweetness that radiates like dazzling j
light from the faces of these aldermen They
ought to be made into lamp potts to illumi¬
nate the darkness ; then they might be of
some use.

OUR COTTON REPORT.
A Dull Week. Caused by the Wet
Weather.
The past week has been a rather
dull one, owing to the bad condi
tion of the roads, caused by the a
rain, and the same cause operating
to prevent picking. The gins have
all had an opportunity to catch up
with their work, and with
good roads, which will soon come
with a few days of good weather, re
ecipls will pickup aivain. But there
will be no such rush as tiiere has
been the past month. Nearly 9,000
ba’es have now been sold in this
market, most of the farmer’s press¬
ing obligations have been met and
the rest of the crop will be marketed
more leisurely. There is .jts
of cotton in the fields unpicked,
and with anything like good weath
or the late crops will make the re¬
ceipts fully up to the figures we have
placed for them—one half more than
last year.
Capt. Sorrel ha* been buying cot
ton in this market for seventeen
years past and says that during that
time the highest actual receipts by
wagon were 18,000 bales, but he is
confident that this year they will
reach 20,
