It would but then remain for Augusta to com plete the Augusta and Knoxville railroad through Rabun Gap, connect with tho Cin cinnati Southern's branch at Maryville, and be index>endent of all Savannah monopo lies. IA prominent railroad official and mer chant was hailed further up town. He men tioned that tho tendency of railroad lines seemed to be to harden and to consolidate business. At present, where so many managements were to be served, there was a perpetual row among railroad men. As in all business, one head and one manage ment could best decide and most easily agree with competing routes. lost year Nashville raised a tremendous howl over tho “scoop” of tho Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Laois, by tho Louisvillo and Nash ville ; but the matter had blown over, and no complaint was now heard from the “Bock City” about beiug merely a way sta tion. Mr. Charles A. Doolittle, of Messrs. J. O. MathewsonA Co., large Western dealers in grain and produce, was next seen at h* store. Mr. Doolittle said he had not given the matter much consideration: bnt he did not share in tho general apprehension that the loaso would innre so seriously to tho disadvantage of the city of Augusta. He ididnot apprehend any damage, for in stance, to his Western freights. Augusta commands a groat deal of trade of such a nature that cannot bo taken away from her by Savannah. A certain amount of pro duce must be shipped to Augusta to meet that trade, and if the Control controls tho Georgia railroad it wonld bo to the advan tage of that road to givo Augusta good rates. He could not seewnat object the Central road wonld havo in injuring the city in th* way. Mr. Doolittle thouglittho strength of the lease, and the controlling reason of Mr. Wadley for w*hing to perfect it, wonld bo to control, for h* splendid line of New York steamers. Augusta’s freight and ship ments. Mr. wadley was merely and legit imately competing against Charleston and Port Royal harbors. He thought Mr. Wadley’a interest would be to offer tho best advantages to us over h* water line. Ho did not think that Augusta wonld be in jured by the loase. “The only thing,” continued Mr. Doo little, “that would injure Augusta, in the event of the lease of the Goorgia railroad, would bo the removal of the work shops to some other point, bnt I do not think it would bo the policy of the Central railroad to do it.” The Chroniclo reporter next consulted younger members of tho firms of George IT. Jackson <fc Co., and of Messrs. John M. Clark’s Sons, both being largo grain, flour and milting houses, and o u-lrono expressed liimself opposed to tho spirit and probable effect of the lease, ns discriminating against Augusta for Savannah. Messrs. W. IL Crane and A. J. Smith, of Smith, Hack & Co., wero dead against any such lease. As mtrehnuts and as citizens of Augusta, they wero bound to distrust the effects of putting Augusta in tho power of Savannah and under tho control of the Central railroad. “We would soon be come a way-station,” said they: “possibly Mr. Wadley might give ns a little platform like B:rzclia has, to load goods on his cars., if wo over had any to load.” Tbe Chroniclo man next sought out Mr. Z. McCord, whoso interests havo always been for the city of Augusta, and whose heart, as warmly and as consistently ns any man within onr corporate limits, beats for onr tiituro welfare and present pros perity. Mr. McCord said he thought any such leaso to tho Goorgia railroad by the Cen tral would be a bad thing for Augusta. It would be detrimental to every commercial interest here. Mr- Wadley has tried again and again to leaso the Goorgia railroad. If ho finally succeeds, h* object will natural ly bo to moke every dollar out of it ho can. He will work for tho interest of his own road and for Savannah. Such a subordi nation of Augusta’s interest to those of the Central rnilroad and Savan nah wonld be a death-blow to our pros perity. We would then h3ve nothing to sustain us but onr factories. We would at tain no independence, wo wonld enjoy few advantages. Augusta has been for u long time discriminated against by tho Georgia and Carolina roads centering hero; now that rates aro improving over the Georgia railroad, it * proi>osed to shut out idl im provement and to discount all effort: “Such are my views as a merchant,” said Mr. McCord.
