'I uk recent convention of railroad men in Atlanta agreed upon a general reduction of rate*, and other mutters of interest to the traveling public were under consideration. This will be gratifying to those wbo travel by rail, or buve to pay freightage. Thk following is the entire charge of tbe Judge in tbe iamous Oliver-Cameron case : “Gentlemen of the jury, take tbe case and dispose of it. Mr. Clerk, pass the papers to tbe foreman." In precisely two hours and a half the case was settled in favor of de fendant. Thk Atlanta Phonograph thus speaks of anonymoni writers : “Of all the mean, con temptible, despicable, insignificant, trifling, shabby, niggling, pitiable, fiddle jim-cracks ca God’s green earth, we do think an anony mous letter writer tbe most pusillanimous, white-livered, shy-cock, midget and milk sop that ever breathed. In tbe luce be is a lien, but in heart be is a iamb.” Fraternity and Uuion. The more we read add reflect upon the situation as viewed io the light of the recent discussion in the House of Representatives, the more fii mly are we convinced that per fect anion and fraternity between the South and the North is a long way off True, there are ticnps when the aspect of affairs •i.couriers hope; there are periods wheo hope becomes strong; but just then some bone of contention is held out ami all at once tbeold ieraes come up, and rhe liniug to the cloud becomes of a gloomy blackness. The late discussion over the appropriation bihe opeus ail the votes ol the past. It not oulf opens them, bat irritates and chafes them to an extent that bodes no good for our common country. lu former times, wheo saciinßul strife rose like a tornado, and threatened the very Government, there waa alwaya some Moses nr Joshua ready 'a lead the way to a peaceable solution of all d ffi cullies Tbt> pet il bud only to be felt, the crisis to come, aud tbro t-oute great leader woald appear able and willing to calm the stoim and quiet tbe public mind. Bui al though there are now able statesmen in tbe national councils, there is not one wbo is willing to adopt tbe role of peacemaker. Tbe task ia too huge To step into the "bloody chasm” and endeavor to clasp tbe shore on either side, might imperil the popu larity af the most potent man. It might shatter bis hopes and “knock into a cocked bat" all his aspirations. And why? Simply bscanse tbe sections are involved in a wran gle over or under a blind misunderstanding of the true facts. The North—bloated with wealth and puffed up with the wretched idea that they alone should carry ou the Govern ment— the South, determin'd to have u finger m the pie, and a fair slice ol the pie itself— will remain obstinate and unyielding. And this ia the attitude just now. Two mighty athletes, stripped for the fight—and where will it terminate? It is doubtful where, even to the most discerning mind; for, goaded to a point from which there Is uo retreat, the South is determined to sta d firm us the hills in asserting her rights. If a tew of the Eastern Stutes could be anchor ed midway the Allautic Ocean, and then girdled with unending storms, there might be fewer causes of atrife. But so long as men are sent ta Congress lor the avowed purpose of abusing the Southern people and their institutions, and of taunting them with tbut most dumrmble ol all taunts, tbe “rebel lion," just so long will peace be far off ; so long aa tb s goes on, peace can never oe had. VY e arc one people. The same laws gov ern all. ‘I he same flag flouts over all; aud yet we are not houiogeueous, not united. Faoaticism puts tbe North in it* offensive position, while the South stands tauulu'ly on tbe defensive. Truly, the traditions of the past—all the treasured oracles of by gone veurs. all the ussociate glory of tbe days of dur forefathers, all the memories that cluster atouud '1 teuton and Yoiktown—must be swallowed up iu the terrible billows o, part.zun hate il they tail to draw together the good people ot all the sections—from the rugged slopes ol Maine to the Everglade*— (torn the grien hills ol Vermont to the Occi dent. Yea, indeed, we are one people, and yet »o divided thut there is no community ol feeling among us. Let us wait and hope Perhaps from all this something muy come to cheer and unite. “Let us have peace.” General Hawley. — Here is one lively little paragraph from a recent letter of ‘‘A. W R in the 7 etegrnph anil Messenger : The Radical champion was Gen Hawley, of Connecticut, whose generous sentiments and honeyed words lor the South and her people were so sweet in our ears at the State Fair io 1875. 1 heard bulb speeches, and had to take a second look to see it it was the same man. Hawley in Gcoigia, begging Georgia aid to make the t\ntennial Impo sition. of which he was President,succeasiul, and Hawley, the partisan, his heart lull of venom, and his lips dripping gall and slan dvr, could hardly be recogniz d as the same person, llis speech Was as loathsomely malicious utd insulting as it was false and cowardly, and he went down as deeply into the mud and fillh or Radical mendacity and venom as the veriest drab on that side. It would have done discredit eveu to Cocger, Harry White, Raker of Indiana, Williams of Wisconsin, or a half diz n more 1 could name. This man Hawley came to Macon a few years since, and was the recipient of many courtesies from ocr people. Now, be repays them with siauder, vituperation and abuse. When wilt our people quit binding tbe pliant knee to these treacherous Yankees T Tub “Celle* Prasem”—The Missouri negroes are emigrating by platoons to Kan sas, and Fred Douglass, wbo may be culled tbe great Sir Oracle of the colored race, gives it as bis opinion that “this exodus will not be beneficial to ibem.” He is not alone in this belief. 'I bis exodus in years gone by generally resulted in a decrease of tbe color ed race, as almost every tiee aloug tbe bor der was ornamented with them. It was heavy on tbe trees, and the umonnt of rope required was immense. But now they cuu vote, and it may be different. Time will show. Tbk discovery of coal iu tbe neighborhood of Gadsden, ou the Coosa liver, is attract ing much attention. Many capitalists are visiting that section for tbe purpose of lock ing into tbe mutter. There is a fair pros pect that furnaces will be pul iu operation. Gounty Court.— Tbe Sparta Time, and Planter has these strong points in favor of the County Court. The remarks are appli cable to other counties than Hancock : Within the past year fortv-three criminal eases were disposed of in Hancock County Court. It ia >he opinion of tbe Solicitor General that these prisoners would have averaged two months each io jail, at a coat of about 820 per month (jail feeo, doctor’s fees, cLihiog, and evervlbing) making a saving in this one item of $1 720 00. The Superior Court could hardly Lave di -posed of these at four cases per da? ; »o that at least one adjourned term would have been weeevsury, »od this would have cost tbe county some SBOO to SI,OOO more. This is leaving out of the account tbe numerous civil rases that would have gone to occupy lae time of tbe Superior Coart. Pbovitablr.— The iospectioo of fertilizers must be a source of considerable revenue, judgmg from tbe following statement : Up l* date the six inspectors of fertilisers iu Georgia have turned over to the Comp troller General $33 000 for in«peetioo fees. Of this amount only about $9 000 will be required to pay all salaries, including $3,000 io the State chemist. Thus tbe State nets $24 000 from tbe system of inspection.

He mar ried Azriia Dore, grand-daughter of Jean Louis Champagne, a Texas millionaire whose death occurred not long ago. The Kansas Fever. —Si ventv of the [ colored emigrants in camp at Wyandotte crossed tbe river to Missouri this morning and are seeking employment in Kansas Citv. The funds raised at Cincinnati and ether places for the benefit of the emigrants have been used for them at St. Louis, supplying the destitute at that point with provision* and furnishing them transportation further west. No aid from abroad has been received for those now in Kansas, though many of them are in very destitute circumstances, and are living from day to day upon the contri butions of the people in the vicinity. We have bad a cold rain for the last three days, and a severe wind now blowing from the northwest gives these half-clad and poorly sheltered creature* a touch of our hospitality by no means agreeable. As they shiver around their little fires of sticks and drift wood or huddle together iu corners under their tagged bluukets they present a pitiable spectacle, «nd onr that appeals louder than words to the sympathies uud charity of tbe observer. One of the most intelligent among them, who was interviewed this morning, stated that it was not the intention of any of them to remain permanently in the towns. They all desire to go out on the prairie sod make claims for themselves and open farms, but have no definite ideas as to bow this is to be accomplished without funds, but until they can get claims ot their own they desire to find emplovment ss fa'm hands.— Leaven worth (Ks.)

At the close an old French gentlein.m arose and begged the audience to listen to his daugh ters sing. Among the few who attended to the request, this lady saw two nether shabby figures advance behind the old gentleman ; they were his daughters, and one was the Albani of to day, who was then listened to merely as a in .liter ot courtesy, as there was nothing at all in her voice l 'hen to fore-hadow the great fame she now enjoys. The lather would, however, persist that his daughter could sing, and when others turn'd »w,y in disbelief he held sieiduativ to his faith and she. in spite of slights and difficulties, per sisted and went onward. Y<>u may have read ol a nugn fieeut borne in Loudon where Albani lives with that old laiher and the sister who was her companion in tbe shabby bonnet .".lid shawl that felled even m th slightest degree to eulist tbe interest of a Saratoga ball-room uudience.

One of the most remarkable developments vet mode of thp almost incredible extremi ties to which Republican politicians wilt go, in their desperate struggle to retain the hold of power which i* slipping away from them —not even excepting their desperate plot to reverse, by fraud* committed in the return ing hoard* of tbe carpet-bagged States, the decision which was aetnally tendered by the American people io the last Presidential election —i* unfolded in the confession* made bv the “Principia Club” of Cambridge and Boston, in regard to the general stampede of regroes from portion* of Louisiana and Mstrissippi That story ia related in full in the Boston Advertiser, the leading Republi can paper of New England. It is nothing more nor less, in sobatance, than a confession that this black exodos has been prepared a long while, is an organized thing, and i* for (he purpose of reducing the Sonlti»rw apportionment of member* for the next Congress, baaed on the census of 1080. Far this purpose a million of inflammatory tracts hate b*en sent into the South, and hired agent* have been sent there to stir up the black*, and make them believe they are oppressed, and that a p*radf»e awaits them in Kansas and in upper Texas Tn the latter region a Inrgr domain of railroad land haa been in the interest of this move ment and 2 800 negro families are ta be s’aited thither this month. The idea is to make a Mack Republican State, literally, and as soon ns possible have it set off as a ►epHCH'e State ; bnt meanwhile tbe Nnathern population must he redneed. and it i« to be don*' in thi* wav, by hurrying off the deluded negroes to Kansas. A Kansas railway and land speculation company aided the scheme, hy flooding por tions o' the South wirh fl .using postera.de pict'ng the plentiful abnndance of Kansas, with showy wood-cuts ot waving corn-fields, with u negro owner, and the trees full of ’povaums and ’coons. Under the delusion that tand is to be given to them, the poor negroes are flocking V/eat ward. Already five thousand have gore, from tbe cotton | fields of Louisiana chiefly, but some from Mis-'isripoi, and are suffering untold hard ships in Kansas The people out there say they don’t want them, but the poor blacks conti me to press on. In St. Louis 2,500 of them bad to he saved from starvation and a snow storm by the p ople of their own race in that ci'y who raisrd money bv hard ef fort, M, homed, and sent them on. In Kansas they will suffer beyond anything they Lave dreamed of, ami many will die. But what do the Massachusetts philan thropists care for that ? W hat a spectacle it is. By their own frauds and dupheity the Kepubiiaans largely lost the support of the oeg roe* of the South. Then, finding the blacks were going back to thuii old time friends and voting with the Democrats, they charged it to "bulldozing;” aud issued utilina ted lies in the shape of ! sworn testimony to 'hat effect. And finding all would not do, and that the negroes, in stead of proving an instrument of Dower in the hands of the Republican* as expected whi n thi v were given the ballot, were really only strengthening the Democrat* iu Uoul gre s. these Republican prllticians now coolly oiguinze a great negro exodus —the onject being to cut down Southern represen tation, and the mover* in it are wholly un feeling for the late of their deluded victims, the poor blacks. Could a worse comment on Republican philanthropy, and R pubbeaii devotion to principle, possibly be made ? What a shame ful 'hmg!

New York, April 11.— In the Talmage trial yesterday the stenographer's minutes of the interview between the Presbytery’s com mitteeof inquiry sod Talmage were read. In it is this passage : Mr. Crosby said—l will state that I would not hesitate at all to testify under oaib that you told me that the reason why the Times was your enemy and was pursuing you was because you had a personal diffi culty—l will not say with the editor, but with some one conrecred with tbe Times.
