XHiawgK* IPdUgjcatsI* attfc 3fmmral & 3ftesjsjmg£ic, Cdegntpji K Jterettgw. FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1880. —The champion deadhead is Mr. George Augustus Sala, who has traveled 25,000 miles on American railways with out the purchase of a single ticket. —It is certainly not the fault of the Cincinnati Commercial that its sentiments are not understood. It says: “Grant is not to be President again, no matter who nominates him.” —A lady correspondent of the Detroit Post, watered her tomato plants with a weak solution of copperas, (one pound to eight gallons of water,) with the result that the fruit was two weeks earlier than on plants not so treated. —Iron Mountain, Missouri, is all that its name implies, being seven-tentlis pure iron. It is nearly a mile loBg, half as broad, and several hundred feet high. It is being carried away at the rate of S50 tons a day. —Senator Blaine used to wear an amu let, which hi3 dying Roman Catholic mother had placed around his neck, and which he half seriously spoke of as his protection against evil. Pour years ago he was sunstruck on the steps of the capitol. He was carried home uncon scious and half undressed. When he came to himself the amulet was gone, and he, in spife of constant efforts, has never been able to recover it. —They were playing a game they call euchre. She held both bowers and the king, and two aces of other suit, but 3he was a novice at the game. A young man who was teaching her looked at her cards and warmly exclaimed, “What a lovely band!” She looked at him straight in the eyes and murmured, “You may have it if you want it.” All the rest of the evening he wondered if he was the victim of a leap year proposal. —Once in a while this country gets a new surprise in some points about our al- ways-wonderful navy which had not be fore been generally set forth. Somebody has taken the trouble to go over the cur rent- naval appropriation bill, and finds that it requires nearly five millions of dollars a year to pay the officers and as sistant officers and such, while less than one-half that sum suffices tor the seamen, landsmen and the coast survey service. Our navy doesn’t show off much, except when it comes to expenses. Tiie Enormous Immigration.—The tide of immigration is constantly increas ing. During the week ended Saturday night 15,500 fresh arrivals were landed at Castle Garden, making 30,641 for the month thus far, or over 200 a day, Sun days included. Saturday four vessels brought 2,594—the Salier, from Bremen, 1,213; the Mosel, from Bremen, 045; the Patagonia, from Liverpool, 620, and the Bristol, from Avonmouth, 116. —Basle successfully holds her own against all competition in tbe ribbon trade. This supremacy dates from the Edict ot Nantes, in common with the English silk trade. Af far back as 1810 there were some 600 ribbon looms at work in the canton, producing annually material val ued at $1,250,000. In 1872 there were 7,- 000 looms, employing 6,000 weavers and helpers and 60 designers, and consuming aunually 400 tons of silk, out of which over 130,000,000 yards of ribbon were manufactured, valued at $12,500,000. The Deep, Deep Snow.—A Nashville paper says that a gentleman recently ar rived from California, where he has been looking about among the mining towns, speaks of several places where the snow now lies to a depth of over 100 feet. These places are generally at the heads of large canyons. At the head of Fall creek, Nevada county, pines and firs over 100 feet in height arc so buried in the snow that only a few feet of their tops are to be seen. Where a dark forest lies in summer there is now only to be seen a white expanse of snow, iriar iroc there what appears to be clumps of bush es, but widely are really the tops of the tallest pines. —If we are to credit the New Orleans Times, matrimony “is played out” in that city. A fashionable young lady who has been interviewed on the subject says that the men who are not married are spoiled beyond all hope of redemption, while many of those who are married are so angry with themselves for having gone and done it that they keep away from their homes as much as possible.. As time goes on and a period arrives when it might be supposed that the men would like to settle down, it is found that they have lost all taste for domestic life, and this is the reason why New Orleans is crowded with old bachelor beaux. Society, in short, is found to ofier much greater attractions than home. This is a bad lookout. —Hitherto when a professional diver went under water a tube has supplied him with air. But a Mr. Fleuss lias patented a process by which an experien ced diver can remain under water for hours, having within his helmet and dress a supply of compressed oxygeh gas, dilut ed with nitrogen, which is naturally* pres ent in Ins lungs and the diving dress when he assumes it. The exhaled carbonic acid being brought into contact with caustic soda, the deadly gas is transform ed into simple carbonate of soda. It.is asserted that numerous experiments and tests have conclusively proved that Mr. Fleuss’ system is attended with no in convenience, and the expense is one-half that of the old method. Mr. Fleuss is only 28. His process has been brought out since the Tay Bridge disaster. Railroa d Commission Problem.— If the present law regulating the tariffi ot railroads by practical experience is found to be inoperative and unsuited for the purposes it was intended to accomplish, such defects as exist can be noted and re ported to the next legislature for proper treatment. No question about the right of a State to regulate -railway tariffi of a discriminating, or oppressive character can be entertained with any degree of plausibility. And whatever may be the objections of railroad corporations to such a law, it is impolitic for them to at tempt to clog its operations or defeat the reforms intended to be accomplished. Neither the constitution of the United States nor that of Georgia i3 violated in the regulation by the legislature of rail road tariffi, as the rights of the people in the premises are paramount, as represent ing the largest aggregate interest, should such interest be invaded by unjust dis criminations on the part of railroad cor porations. —The New York World is responsible A MODERN JACOB. A Plebian Lover Who is Determined to Win a Patrician Bride. The Philadelphia Telegraph's Paris let ter says: I was recently told by a young French gentleman (the son of the prefect of La Rochelle) one of the strangest ro mances of real life that ever came to my knowledge. Some four years ago a peas ant boy who lived on a farm near the town of Clement Ferrand saw and fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a gen tleman of good fortune and position, he being at that time 17 years of age and the young lady just 16. This new “Claude Melnotte” was so madly in love that he went straight to the house of the young girl’s parents and demanded her hand in marriage. The father treated the preposterous proposition with good natured scorn. ‘Come back when you have an income of $40,000 (200,000 francs),” was the answer, “and then we will see about it.” The in fatuated youth took him at his word, and forthwith set to work. Now one of the peculiarities of the town of Clairmont- Ferrand is a scarcity of water. There is no river near it, so it relies forrits water supply on springs and wells. Under these circumstances a spring is a valuable piece of property and commands a relatively high price. So the young peasant lover set off for an adjacent mountain, there to search for hidden springs. My informant said that he had honeycombed the whole side of the mountain with his works, con structing at one point a tunnel over two miles in length. All this was executed with his own hands.. He works from dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes of his own planting, and never spends so much as a sou upon a mug of beer. Every Sunday he goes to mass in the town, after which he proceeds to his lady love, to ask if she is married or likely to be. On receiving a response in the negative he plods contentedly homeward, and starts out afresh to his toil on the morrow. This life has continued now for full four years. Up to tbe present time he has discovered three important springs, each of which he sold for 85,000, but though now possessed of what for a man of his condition of life is wealth, he abates none of the hardships of his existence. He has one fixed idea, namely, to become the possessor of a for tune sufficient to enable him to claim the hand of the object of his blind passian. Yet no one who knows the parties even- imagines that the young lady will ever consent to marry lnm. She is now twenty years of age, and is pretty, refined and ac complished, while he is a coarse, unlet tered peasant without even physical come liness, as he is short and thick set, with a broad stolid countenance. What will be the end of his dream, I wonder? Will he go mad or break his heart the day that he finds his beloved either married or be trothed? Or will he die some day of pri vation or overwork, with a vision of suc cess before his eyes ? Census Districts. Supervisor Johnson sends us a list of the enumeration districts in the fourth Super visor’s district of Georgia, and, in a note, says that he has forwarded to Washington for approval, his list of enumerators, which will be published so soon as re-' turned approved. From his list we take the following counties: BALDWIN COUNTV. AV of Enumeration District. Not of Mititia Dis trict No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 No. 4 No. 5 .

A most distressing affair recently occur red in the suicide of Captain Edward Wright, son of Judge “Jack” Wright, who was recently convicted and fined for his assault on Secretary Delano, and then graciously pardoned by the President. Captain Wright was one of the finest officers in the ordnance corps, and liis im provements and experiments in his line have gained him great credit. Two years ago he met at the Arkansas Hot Springs the beautifol Bessie Paschal, daughter of a noted Texas law yer, and divorced wife of Frank Gassa- way. A more fascinating and lovely wo man is seldom seen than she, and after a two weeks’ acquaintance they were mar ried. -Three months ago they separated, and since then Capt. Wright had been de pressed and gloomy. After a painful in terview with her last week they parted finally, she winging her way to Philadel phia and lresh fortunes, and he ending his unhappy life by a pistol shot from his own hand. The career of his wife has been something remarkable. Seldom outside of novels and old memoirs do we know of a woman exerting such power over men by the mere spell of beauty. Gray- beards and callow youths have wor shiped her, and grave politicians and professional men gone wild. As a young lady she was a belle, and as a lovely widow she exerted a more po tent power. Don Cameron at onetime was announced as about to marry her, and the list of his guests is a long one. A graceful and perfect figure, great, sad, pa thetic eyes, fine features, and a most love ly smile, first impress one on seeing her, but the indescribable charm, the strange fascination of her ways, the witchery and magic of her, are too evanescent and in tangible for prose. Her beauty, her life and her fortunes would need the worldly, gushing pen of Ouida to portray some sides or it; for others the profound analy sis of George Eliot- could hardly suffice. As a figure in the social world she is des tined to reappear, and those who have watched the amazing incidents of her life since she first entered Washington a pre cocious young witch of sixteen, will not be surprised at any sequel.—St. Louis GloboDemocrat. Mr. Neman on Public Buildings. Remarking the other day in the Senate on a bill for the erection of public build ings in Pittsburg, Pa., Senator Kernan, of New York, called attention to the enor mous expense of these buildings and said that up to a few’ years ago there were none outside of New York city. He be lieved the sentiment of the State would be against building any of the structures, ex cept at a port of entry, where a custom house was required. It was generally cheaper to rent buildings for courts and post-offices. The bill was passed. To all of which it may well he said that nowhere in the United States ought it to to be cheaper to rent public buildings than to construct them. Whenever this is the case, it is the result of such jobbery and corruption as have been displayed, for ex ample, in the New York court house; The general government should practice until able to have work done as reasonably as any private individual. It is net a consti tutional principle that jobbery should characterize every such transaction, and as the United States must have many of them in any view of the case, let her begin to learn how to build with economy. There is certainly neither sense nor dig nity in the government’s renting its build ings for the transaction of business which must be permanent in a certain place. Counties and States do not rent court houses and jails, and why should the gen eral government? Counties and States build reasonably—why should not the general government?

Freneli Coolc Improved Us Broth. At the celebrated borne of social, but aristocratic democracy, the famous Man hattan CUib, on Fifth avenue, New York City, the theme of conversation recently has been not so much as to the comin," nominee at Cincinnati, as to the luck o one Monsieur Emil Sigrist, a veritable chef de cuisine, who bought of M. A. Dau- phin, atNo.319 Bre.dway, New York How the Democratic Congressmen Talk. The Herald Washington correspondent gives the following as the substance of positions agreed on among tbe Democrat ic Congressmen in relation to the Presi dency : 1. The Western and Southern men agree that the candidate ought to be an Eastern man. 2. They favor either Governor Seymour, if be will accept, or Senator Bayard, for whom it is understood that Massachusetts will ask. Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, is .regarded by a good many Western and Southern men as the next man to Bayard if the latter should not carry. Judge Church was highly thought of and his sudden death is generally mourned here. 3. It is taken for granted that Mr. Til- den will not be a candidate. 4. A military candidate finds little fa vor. A prominent Western Democrat said to your correspondent:— “I like Hancock, and think him a great man, but his country wants civilian, not militaiy rulers.” 5. An Eastern man for the head of the ticket supposes a Western man for the second place, and there is a very general feeling that Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, would be the best man for this place. He has been a consistent and unflinching hard money Democrat. He served with honor in the army and he is very popu lar in his State, and Illinois is one of those States which, it the ex-President is nomi nated, the Democrats will hope to carry. Finally, the Dernocats are not quarrel ing among themselves, and they see clear ly that to succeed they must nominate a ticket which will secure at once and with out argument the confidence of the best sentiment of the country. “What we need is to nominate a ticket which shall deserve the support of those Republicans who do not want to. vote for the ex-Presi dent,” said a Western Democrat to your correspondent to-day, “and most of our people are agreed upon this.” This is the Democratic situation in brief, as it appears here. Wedding Anniversaries. It is meet and proper that the annual re- irn of the most important event in one’s life-time—marriage—that corner stone of the family relation, should bo duly ob served. Society has instituted its wooden, tin, silver and golden weddings, the last not until a half century has rolled away, which are made the occasions of joyous festivities and gifts. But a irieud who has recently celebrated his wedding day in sists that, at least in the family circle, every annual recurrence of the nuptial ceremony should be marked with a white stone in life’s journey. And we agree with him. ' Marriage, next to the natal hour and the breaking of the “pitcher” “at the fountain,” is the epoch of supremest im portance in man’s existence. If contracted with prudence, and based upon genuine affection the cases are rare where the par ties can be induced to dissolve the rela tionship, while to the honor of the human race, be it said, in the vast majority of instances the blissful tie but strengthens with advancing years. It is amazing how perfect the identity between husband and wife becomes as time draws them nearer and nearer together, and common inter ests and 'mayhap a joint offipring welds their hearts into one. With many couples this identity assumes even the character of the closest personal resemblance, and in eveiy happy union the parties literally almost exist for each other. Thus, we see how often the death of an aged hus band or wife is soon followed by that The Jeaap Injunction. The case of M. K. Jessup before theUni- ted States Court, eBjoinifig the railroad commission from puttingin operation its tariff schedule upon tbe Savannah, Flori da and Western railroad, continues tq be widely discussed. That the people may have light we print both sides. The following is the comment of the Chronicle and Constitu tionalist : This is an important case and may be come a celebrated one, if continued. There is a determination, in certain quar ters, to obstruct aud annihilate the com mission and make the law under which it operates a dead letter. If fees in these cases are graduated by the charges above named, the lucky attorneys employed by the railways will reap a rich harvest. We are in favor of the railway commis sion having a fair trial, and have so ex pressed ourselves. We are not in favor of any despotic or arbitrary rulings by it. It is said that the rates imposed upon the Central road are unjust and burdensome, compared with other corporations. If this be true, it should be corrected. The law surely never intended that anyroad in the State should he discriminated against. Such a law cannot last, aud such rulings by a commission would be odious and subject the individual mem bers to righteous censure. We trust that the charge is not correct, or, if so, that it will be promptly rectified. The commis sion was not instituted to make war upon any road, but to deal squarely with all and protect the people by a system of ex act and Impartial dealing. The Jesup case may throw a flood of light upon many obscure corners. The organic law of Georgia makes it obligatory upon the general as3embly to regulate freights and prevent unjust dis crimination against the people. The com mission was called into existence by the legislature to regulate this vast and com plex system. It is composed of gentle men of character andability.lt is not to be presumed that the members of the com mission will act arbitrarily and oppres sively. They were not put in office to destroy railroads, but to do exact and equal justice between the railroads on the one band and tlie people on the other. Rates that are unremunerative should not be enforced. To compel tbe lailroads to carry freight and passengers at rates that will not yield fair dividends to the stock holders would be legalized communism. And this should never be done in Geor gia. Capital has its rights as well as la bor, and there can neither be stability nor prosperity where the rights of corporations do not receive the same protection as the rights of individuals. For ourselves, we have every confidence in the integrity and good faith of the com mission. We believe that the members of it will deal justly with the roads,which are owned by our own people. The day is far distant m Georgia, and we do not think that it will ever come, when one- class of our fellow citizens will be robbed for the benefit of another. For the commission to cnforco unremunerative rates upon our railroads, rendering them unable to pay fair dividends, would be nothing short of legalized robbery. To impute this, inten tion to the honorable members of the com mission would be as unfair as it would be disgraceful. If we believed for one moment that tbe’ members of the com mission had acted unjustly in tlieir tariff we should not hesitate to condemn their action and to call upon them to undo their work. Governor Smith has said that the commission would cheerfully alter its rates whenever it could be demonstrated that injustice was done to any railroad. The true policy for the railreads to adopt is to give the rates of tha commission a fair trial, aud to do all in their power to of the surviving partner.

I j an( , 0 pp ressive ] y upon tbe interests of A Woman’s Curiosity Satisfied. The proverbial curiosity of women led to a smash-up at the Continental colliery, near Pottsville, recently. The slope en gineer went home for his dinner, and the fireman remained in the engine house waiting for his wife to appear with his lunch. She being considerably behind time, the fireman became restless with hunger and started for.home. While he was "gone, the wife, by another route, ap peared in the engine house with the dinner. The fireman not returning immedi ately, his wife got tired waiting and'commenced examining the pictures pasted around the room. This soon grew monotonous, and in casting about for something else to entertain herself with, she spied the lever that starts the huge engine. She wondered what that partic ular piece of iron was used for. First, she admired its smoothness, and then she marveled at its cleanliness. Becoming bolder, she gave it a sudden jerk. There was a burr aud whiz, and tbe ponderous machinery started as though animated with the breath of life. . The woman clutched the lever in the hope of placing it as she found it, but to her horror it only increased tbe speed of the machinery. Tbe drum was creaking and revolving with terrible rapidity; the liston reds flew in and out of the cylinder ike lightning. The steam escaping hissed like fury, and the woman with a shriek rushed for the open air. Just then the waron that started from the bottom when she started the machinery came out of the slope like a shot, landing on (he top of the engine house, mashing and crushing it into pieces. There was no work the next day. • ' Tie Forest Fires. The New York papers agree that tha late New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva nia and Long Island forest fires are due to sparks from- locomotives, kindling the dry brush on the railway rights of way. The loss is very great. In Atlantic county, N. J., the fire is yet preying on a few acres of woodland, all that is left outside of the populated villages. An area of95,000 out of the 120,000 acres coniDrising this country is blackened with the fire. Of this, 75,000 acres were com posed of woodland, oak, cedar, pine and holly ,valued>t from $16 to $2,000 an acre. The heaviest loss was in the cranberry bo"s, 9,COO acres of these alone being de stroyed, at a loss of $4,000 to $15,000 an acre. There were also about 10,000 acres of vineland destroyed, the losses be ing differently estimated. Probably 100 houses have been consumed. The fires in Cumberland, Cape May, Camden and Salem counties are now under control. The people were watching and praying for rain; but, contrary to the generally re ceived theory, the fires brought no Signs of ram. On the contrary, the promise of a prolonged drouth seemed to increase, the past, and recall its joys and sorrows, its triumphs and humiliations. .All of these have been shared together, and point ories of tlie children as to all the salient events in the history of the family, from Its earliest known origin to the present hour. It is surprising how ignorant, a majority of the rising generation are, even of their own grandfathers and grand mothers. Finally, the custom of which we speak fends to draw still closer the hearts and affections of husband and wife, and ought to be made the season for the renewal of mutual good resolutions, and the deter mination that each will be in the future more tender, more devoted and more mindful of the happiness of the other.

Thiers’ great weakness was a dish strictly Provencal called “brandade,” con sisting of salt cod and oil skillfully beaten up into a thick paste. Doctors in late years forbade M. Thiers to cat cod in any shape or form, and, mnch as he wished for it. Mme. Thiers was inflexible. But M. Thiers had an accomplice, M. Mignet, and from time to time this gentleman used to reach the Hotel St. Georges with a voluminous parcel under his arm. He occupy, would bow repeatedly to the ladies, and pass into the great man’s study. Then an urgent plea of important work was put forward, the doors were locked, and in truders sent away. Directly they were alone, the two friends undid the parcel, which was simply a tin box wrapped in a newspaper, and. containing an unctious “brandade,” made by the best Provencal cook in Paris. With lingering delight the friends consumed this forbidden delicacy; and when the box was entirely empty, and the doors were open, M. Thiers would be heard exclaiming: “My dear Mignet, it is the masterpiece of human genius!” And everyone thought he referred to some literary achievement. But Mme. Thiers one day caught the two culprits at their work, and reproached M. Mignet so se- General Gordon’s Resignation. The following letter was telegraphed by Governor Colquitt to Senator Gordon on Thursday, finally accepting his resig nation: | Executive Office, Atlanta, May 20.—General John B. Gordon, Washing ton Cily—Dear Sib: It is with profound regret that I learn by your telegram of yesterday that you adhere to your deter mination of resigning your scat as Sena tor of Georgia. While I have no option but to accept your resignation, I feel very sure that the regret I express is universal with the people of this State, who have cherished with an almost uuexampled pride and love the reputation you have achieved in their service. Your devotion to the interest and honor of the people of Georgia since you assumed the obligation of a Senator ha3 only been equalled by the moderation you display in surrendering a trust which you Lave so uobly sustained and which promised for you such splendid results and future use fulness. While the judgment of your fel low citizens will coincide your claims to a large share of repose and more care for your private interests than have been al lowed you in an arduous official career, I must be allowed to say that your with drawal forom the public service will be felt as a loss to tbe commonwealth you have so faithfully and efficiently served I am confident I only utter the univer sal feeling of tlie poeple of Georgia when I express tbe hope that you may long be spared to the country to which your pa triotic devotion has so endeared you. Our earnest good wishes attend you, and the wish that your future life may he as pros perous and happy as the past has been useful and honorable. I have the honor to be yours truly, Alfred H. Colquitt, The Senator is still In his seat, and will remain there until his successor arrives and has been duly qualified. The retirement of General Gordon has electrified the whole commonwealth, and the feeling of regret is well-nigh univer sal. It is reported that he has been tendered the attorneyship by President Newcomb, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, with a .very large salary. This may have been the personal consideration which in duced him, in view of the condition of his private affairs, to leave the Senate.

General Alexander does not oppose the commission. On the contrary, he commends its labors. Tbe best thing the railroads of the State can do is to work in harmony with the commission. the mem bers of which have the confidence and re spect of our people. The opponents of the commission cannot make the people of Georgia believe that Governor Smith, Major Campbell Wallace and Colonel Samuel Barnett would do any act that would he oppressive or unjust to the great railroad interests of Georgia. If they have any bias at all we rather suspect that they would lean toward the protec tion of the corporations that have done so much to foster and develop the best inter ests of Georgia.

In a flowered cotton bodice, a short blue skirt and her hair banging down below her waist, the beauty par ex cellence of society was at her best. Her idea of holding a snood in her hand was cleverly conceived, though probably lost to most of the audience who did not hail from Scotland. A more charming Effie Deans it was impossible to imagine, and in her own interest I should advise her to make sweet simplicity the fashion. Her face and figure were perfect, and the ex act personification of what one could im agine Effie onglit to be.

The publication of Mr. Sidney Lanier’s remarkable book on “The Science of Eng lish Verse” is calculated to ‘give him a new, peculiar and permanent place among our men of letters. Like all Mr. Lanier’s efforts it is decidedly original, not to say unique, but, “unlike much of what lie has written, it has a vital reason-for being—so to speak. In other words, Mr. Lanier is the first, singular as it may seem,to formulate the principles of English verse, and is .the first to construct reasonable rules of versifi cation. He has not made the art of versi fication easier of acquirement, thank heaven, hut he has told the professional poets what some of the amateurs had al ready found out for themselves that the at tempt to assimilate English versification with the prosody of the classics was to bring about an uncommon degree of confusion. He lias' demonstrated that accent is not the basis of rhythm in English verse. Here are the propositions which Mr. Lanier lays down, aud liU demonstration is clear, simple and mathematical. "When the ear exactly co-ordinates a series of sounds and silences with primary reference to their du ration,the result is a conception of rhythm. When the ear exactly co-ordinates a se ries of sounds with primary reference to their difference in tone (rhyme in verse and variations of vowels and the like), the result is tone-color. When those exact co-ordinations which the ear per ceives as rhythm, tune, and tone-color, are suggested to the ear by a series of spoken words, the result is verse. In other words, the quality known as time in music, Mr Lanier demonstrates to be the basis of rhythm in verse, wholly apart from the ac cent of the prosodists. This fundaments, fact in verse was more than liinted at when the author of a negro song, printed in the Constitution some months ago, acknowledged his inability to make the measure conform" to the rules in the books, and was compelled to explain that he depended wholly upon the ctesura— that is, upon tbe natural pause or rest in tbe verse—for its rhythm. The meas ure of that' particular song was in discriminately iambic, anapestic and dac- tyllic. Mr. Lanier’s method gives the author of the song alluded to an easy'con science, inasmuch as it has been cfearly demonstrated that it was based upon the fundamental principles of English versi fication. Apart from the purely scientific value of Mr. Lanier’s book, it embodies studies' and analyses of Anglo-Saxon poe try which will be in the nature of revela tions to students of English literature,and the volume is one of the - most notable contributions ever made to American lit erature. Its interest and importance, however, will, in the nature of things, be more keenly appreciated in England than in this country.—Affanta Constitution. The Railroad Commission. Editors of the Albany Net os: The time has not quite come when a man may be ashamed to own that he is an owner of railway property in Georgia. I will pre face what I haie to say by the statement that more than half my worldly interest consists of such property, and that my small fortune contributes its mite to the sixty millions that is supplying the trans portation facilities of the State. I am also the custodian of a fund be longing to a set of orphan children. This I invested in railroad securities before the blight of communism had touched that class of property in our State. Those children are to-day deriving their supply of food and clothing from the interest on that investment; but for it they would he thrown on the charities of the more for tunate. Thus I do not claim to he a dis interested listener to the arguments for and against the acts of the railroad com mission. Mine is a vital. interest, and am not alone.' I am one of a large number of individ uals who, having complied with the law of their State, have been so confident of her protection that they have looked for no better investments than were to be found within lier borders. I agree that the welfare of the State at large demands that every interest or prop erty that has such a direct bearing upon the prosperity of the people should be properly regulated by law, but does this argue the wholesale spoliation of rail roads ? The prpmpt answer is no- The people have not asked that, nor does the law propose it. In all the discussions upon this subject the commissioners and their defenders proclaim that they wish to do absolute justice. They say “We are ready to hear complaints; the railroads have only to come before the Board and demonstrate that the rates are a hardship, aud they will he changed.” The commissioners have been at no small pains to im press this idea upon the people of Georgia; and they have succeeded. They could count upon success, for they were not unknown- to us. They are prominent citizens, highly honored for worth and judgment, ana appointed to a responsible office under a law, tbe very fundamental-and ruling point ofwhicli is, that absolute justice shall be done—just and reasonable rates are to be fixed; but errors may occur) and wben they do, the commissioners wait to correct them. They only ask that any railway in tbe State shall come forward, prove the hard ship and obtain relief. This is wbat the people of Georgia de sire. It is fair to assume that they arc firm now, as they have always been firm, in their adhesion to tlie grand princi ples of true justice. Nor do I believer that even the most radical complainants against the railways have ever asked or desired that the railway property of the State should he made bankrupt. There is right and reason in their de mand: thus the -laws of the State should he framed and enforced for the protection of its citizens, and thus the railway corporations should not be allow ed to make unjust discriminations or charge' exorbitant rates of freight. This, the most us are willing to admic, to be an important right of the people, which they ought to exercise through their legisla ture by safe and prudent laws. I have heard no complaints ot the present law from the railroads. They complain only of its execution, but complaiu earnestly. In this, however, they meet little sympa thy, for the people at large believe in the commission, and mistrust the railroads. They believe that these gentlemen are open to conviction, and that they mean what they say. This is not the case; and is it fair that tlie people of tho State should be deceived as to the real spirit of this administration, while the railroads are disarmed of complaint by these plaus ible phrases? Unfortunately for the railroads they Savannah, Florida and Western rali-woy mmnt cm-m-ai,. „ buked through the press, for not going De- fore this just and generous tribunal, to show the alleged disastrous effect of work ing the commissioners’ rates. It is. un fortunate that those who administer the rebuke do not know that the Savannah*, Florida and Western Railway Company had their general manager and other offi cers in Atlanta before these commission ers for days and days suing for mercy; that they do not know they made such a showing that no man, not absolutely com mitted to ignorance or obstinacy, could doubt. It was no “expert’s estimate” as to probable results, it was carried far be yond tbe uncertainty of estimate or as sumption. Tbe actual business of the road for a given period was worked over and tabulated in a form easy of compre hension, showing the exact earnings of the road upon every pound of freight; and fer each respective class, and, by the side of this, was shown tho same business un der tbe operation of tbe commissioners’ rates. . Isay It Is unfortunate for the railroads that tbe public do not know these filings, for if they were known a far different spirit of criticism would prevail It is, however, temporarily fortunate for tlie commissioners that tbe press and people believe their professions. . They have confidence in their honesty of pur pose, and cherish a feeling of pride in public men who stand by tlieir duties re gardless of everything but right—pride orable and patriotic enough to be placed upon the commission. It is this one alone who has inspired the people with confidence in tlie correct ness ami safety of the position that has been taken in regard to the railroads. It is my firm and honest conviction that had this one man not been on the board the present schedule of rates would have found little support from the people. They are now so surprised and astound ed at the excessive low figures of the rates that but for their confidence in his' great ability, caution and justice, they would say with one accord: “Impracticable! We do not ask tbe bankruptcy of tbe railroads, we only ask protection against discrimina tion and extortionate rates, but our rail road property must live, and thrive.” But 1. Where a borrower, in 1876, received from a fender $150, bat gave n< -tes for $162 with twelve per cent, interest, this was in effect a reservation ot more than legal interest, and wrought a forfeiture under the act of 1875. 2. Under the usury act of 1675, the penalty for taking more than legal interest was a forleiture of the interest and the excess of interest. If it had already been paid, it could be re covered by suit, or by way of set-off against a suit for the principal, within the time allowed by that act. But in either event, whether payment had been made or not, only interest (both legal and usurious) was forfeited, and tbe fender had the right to recover the principal actually loaned, 3. In this case the jury “found for the now they say:_ “We did not believe so low plaintiff; the court granted a new trial unless be would write off not only the interest (both legal and usurious) but also a part of the principal. The judgment 4 affirmed with directions that tbe verdict stand if the plaintiff will write off all but tbe principal. Judgment affirmed with directions. a rate practicable; we did not expect it; but if it is approved by a man of acknowl edged ability who has been a railroad man for many years of liis life, and al ways standing high in his profession, he knows wliat he "is about, and will injure no interest so important to our State; if he thinks these are living rates for the railroads it must be so, and we are glad to get them and ought to have them.” This then is the valuable influence ac quired over a people by a long and worthy life now enjoying the fruit of labor, and this influence is being exerted, whether sensibly or insensibly, to convince a peo ple that an error is not an error. This is a mistake of such a nature that must, deserved or undeserved, inevitably come home. Sooner or later the decep tion must vanish, and be replaced by an enlightened public opinion that will drive law makers and law executors to a sound public policy. Can the commission doubt this? Can they doubt that they have made and are uow making errors of the very gravest character? Especially can this one member, trained and skilled in all the Taried details of the transportation policy of the country, and with such actual experience as to make him familiar with the necessi ties, I may fairly say, of every railroad in the State? Can he be ignorant of the evils that must ensue? Impossible 1 If lie is, then the estimate of a people in the ability and judgment of a man has never been so wide of the mark. Nor can the commission, as a whole, be so ignorant as their policy would seem to indicate. The prominent railway managers of the State have shown no lack of disposition to con fer and co-operate with them, and have been answered only with reluctant an.d insufficient concessions. The people have complained, not of high rates; but of discriminating rates. Why have not the commission begun where tho evil was said to exist? Why have they not been conservative? Why have they not taken time and gone care fully to work to get information as to what were the real evils, to work out tbe prob lem and apply remedy where remedy was needed? It seems tome that common prudence, in handling a subject so vast, and with powers so unlimited, would have suggested, yes, demanded this. Yet they Lave not only met tbe views, but they have made a tariff so low as to make breathless with astonishment the most vehement of * the anti-railroad faction in tlie State convention or legislature. With a good law to work under, with the fullest discretion as to tlieir action, and the time in which to act, with the injunction prominent in the. law to he “just and reasonable,” they iiave pounced down upon the railroads of the State as if they had been for these long years defiant criminals, “running riot” over every legal and moral right of a peo ple, and were only uow within the shackles to be punished with impunity by these new defenders of the countiy, who have been well said to be judge, jury and executioner. Yet so ill considered has been their action that, while the railroads will be ruined, many people will -find themselves distressed imdernew burdens, haveleamed the true meanimr of the which must assuredly follow any serious tt&meenty. 6 .Wsier taso considerabfe-a_nroM-t:<— - I have hoard the Savannah.

Tho general rule is that when the re fusal ol a new trial in a criminal case has already been affirmed by this court, no second hill of. exceptions can be allowed. The only exception to this general rule is such “an extraordinary motion or case” as is specified in §3821 of the code. 2. The extraordinary motions or cases contemplated by the statute are such as do not ordinarily occur in the transaction of human affairs, as when a man has been convicted of murder, and. it afterwards appears that the supposed'dcceased is still alive, or where one is convicted on the testimony of a witness who is subsequent ly found guilty of peijury in giving Ibat testimony, or where there has been some providential cause, and cases of like char acter.

Nothing can cover grave errors, whether they aiise from igimrance or obstinacy; in spite of commissioners, in spite of railways, in spite of tbe people, in spite of everything on earth, truth will at last assert itself, and mistakes will be de veloped and eradicated. It is unfortunate for the railroads that tbe people do not know that this ample showing failed to convince the commis sioners of a real grievance, though it clearly demonstrated that tbe road would fall eighty thousand dollars short of tlie amount necessary to pay interest on its bonds. They, however, though not con vinced, were generous. They permitted the road to make an advance upon the commission’s standard rates, which re duced its deficit to forty thousand dollars, In other words, they only required the bondholders of its second securities to provide forty thousand dollars per! year over and above what the road could be made to earn for the privilege of operating it or else abandon the property to tlie holders of its first securites. It is also un fortunate for tbe railroad side of the - ject that tbe people do not know that nearly every light traffic road in the State has been before this generous and ju tribunal with a similar proof of tlie disas trous consequences of their rates and rul- Trade is controlled by almost immuta ble laws that are working day by day to final conclusions, and that demonstrate in disputably the theories and principles up-* on which rest tlie true inteiests of a peo ple. As these laws unfold they will con sign to oblivion tbe small minded’who would contract their action. I have said that tbe people of Georgia are not asking that railroad property of tbe State be reduced to bankruptcy. They know-that it lias done more to enlarge the varied industries of Georgia than any other equal investment that has ever been made here; and that without it our State would now be as undeveloped as any of the Western Territories. They not only do not wish it. but they will not permit its bankruptcy. If they understood to-day, and had undent ood from the beginning, wbat must be the ao- tua rpsult of the arbitrary enforcement of these commissioners’ rates, there would be such a demonstration throughout the State as would not aud could not be mis taken or ignored. But people have let confidence take the place of investigation —confidence in the commissioners. Two members of it, indeed, they know are not railroad experts, but they be lieve them to be fair minded, ful) ot legal ability, and versed in the science of politi cal economy.

After proof that a cow had been killed by a railroad train, the presump tion of negligence arose against the com pany, and in the absence of sufficient evi dence to rebut such presumption, a ver dict for the plaintiff was right. 2. That one of the jurors who tried a case in a justice’s court was a talesman, and that his name was not on the jury list or in the jury box, is not good ground for sustaining a certiorari to the finding in that court.

No request was made for him to lower the dam. He leased to Chase, who repaired the dam, aud land was flooded. There was evidence on which the jury could properly find that Calhoun did not in crease the capacity of the dam while he was in . possession.

Judgment affirmed. Lanier vs. Cox et al. Appeal, from Whitfield. Ford vs.-Kennedy. Complaint, from Catoosa. 1. Where suit was brought against de fendant as partuers, and one having died, it proceeded against the other as surviving partner, the plaintiff was not competent to testily concerning transactions between himself and the deceased in the absence of tbe survivor. If tlie interogatories of the decedent were in court, the attention of tho presiding judge should have been called to the fact. TlieTpere belief of a witness as to facts not in h4 knowledge is inadmissi ble. 3. On an issue of partnership or no part nership, the sayings of one who admitted himself to be a partner, were not admissi ble to prove that another, who denied be ing a partner, was ill fact such. 4. Admissions of one who denies be ing a partner are admissible to prove him, such. 5. Tlie mere general understanding of a witness, not based on facts, 4 inadmissi ble. 6. An admission of evidence, which, if error at all, was so slight as to bo harm less, is not ground fora new trial. 7. Where suit was brought on an open account, to which tbe statute of limita tions was pleaded, and certain items were relied on to take the whole account from under tlie bar, they must not only bo pleaded but also proved. 8. It was not error for the court to re fuse to charge that admissions, when clearly preyed, became evidence of a high character. The. jury should determine the weight to be given to evidence. “All admissions should bo scanned with care.” Code §3792. Judgment affirmed. The Western and Atlantic Railroad vs. Sawtell.

Such prosecution may he before suit brought, at the- time of the commence ment of suit, or concurrently therewith, which means pendente lite. 2. In such a case it was not error to in struct the jury as to what constituted a felony, and then to submit to them the question as to whether the killing of the deceased was a felony or a misdemeanor. Nor was it error further to charge that & homicide resulting* from a collision of trains was prima facie felonious; that the burden was on the plaintiff to remove that presumption by proof before it could be reduced to a misdemeanor, and that if ' tbe presumption was not removed, then, it must appear that the criminal prosecu tion had taken place as require by law.

Where the evidence disclosed that the plaintiff’s cow was killed between the signal post erected under § 708 of the code and the crossing, it was not error to charge the provisions of that section as to checking the speed of the train, adding thereto that the company would not he li able because at the time tbe injury hap pened the train might bo running in a manner forbidden by law, but the failure to comply with tiie law must operate as a, cause of tbe injury.
