The Atlanta Constitution, after repro ducing the observations of this journal on the action ot tbe city council in offering to the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad all the laud in the corporate lim its necessary to build machine shops on, free of cost, adds: The above from the Macon Telegoaiti a no Messences ta rather cheeky, considering the fact that two of the inaMbcrs of the I-egislcturO from Bibb county in the last General Assembly voted against the charter of the road they arc now helping ao lustily. One of the members of the Legislature from the city of Macon did vole against what was known os the Cole charter, for tho reasons given in his speech, that the power granted to confiscate the road beds of other roads was too sweeping and dan gerous. Mr. Speaker Bacon did not vote at all. The Constitution, con sidering the present condition of affairs, is brassy, very brassy, we may say unusually brassy even for Atlanta, when it undertakes even to hiut at any hostility in this direction towards this en terprise. The liberality of Macon was well exemplified when it permitted the road to be run through its cemetery, i of tbe most beautiful In the country, the face of objections of people who natu rally lelt that it was somewhat of a dese cration ot tbe resting places of their dead. Macon went even fartbor. When it was thought the road would have to enter tbe city through one of her busiest streets, tbe consent of all parties interested was pro cuicd without difficulty. If the Constitution will use a little of the vigorous language it was so lavish of last surnmor towards the men in buckram that its fertile imagination had conjured up as opponents to the Cole charter, it may brush out of the way any little ring or clique which may propose to stop a road sudeast a damper on the energy and enterprise of Atlanta. Macon is fairly entitled to exhibit a due amount of legitimate cheek on proper occasions, udJ it will be our jd^aaure to aid her to cost asidr anything like timidi ty or undue modesty and to claim her own whenever opportunity may offer. Since the above was put in type we learn that the city council of Atiauta has res cinded an unwise ordinance, aud work on the road will bo resumed. We find noth ing but pleasure in this result. ■Fa*Troo Thinker* at their late meeting ttsahii gton, resolved to plnce a statue •STtajxaa i’uiue iu the old llall of Repre- xEtss. Why not?

The Uou. Leopold Morse ot Boston is the only Democratic member of the House from tho State of Massachusetts. He is a wide awake, active member, who believes iu the old principles of Andrew Jackson in regard to tenure of cilice for government officials. He is at present fathering a bill which is somewhat pe culiar, especially In its phraseology. The preamble starts cut with the old Jackso nian principle that “to the victors belong the spoils.” Morso evidently believes tbat«thi3 is tbe watchword of all politi cians. He follows up his preamble by providing in his bill that officials sbal 1 have tlicir tenure of office fixed at a presi dential term of four years, except when the Frcsident is re-elected, in which event his bill provides that officials shall "hang on” for another four years and go out of office with the chief magistrate. Tlmrlow Weed objects to any system of competitive examination which renders Republicans end Democrats alike eligible, as competitors for-office, and says: “I shall he slow to believe that Chester A. Arthur, whom I have known fora quarter of a century as an active, zealous and un compromising Republican, has repudiated his principles, or sanctions a ‘reform’ which leaves his friends who elected him out In the cold." T. W. is clearly —shall demand a tax upon the si-me accor ding to valuation, and if the money is not forthcoming, that home, with its surround ings, is knockrddown to the highest bid der.

Billups aud Harde man and Washington Dessau, attorneys for the bond commission, giving a brief history of the action of the courts, aud at torneys employed in this case, siuce the order of Judge Simmons granting injunc tion against the city council in the trover suits against Huff aud Lawton. We extract the following from the card of the attorneys for the bond commission: As you are doubtless aware, when Judge Sim mons granted the injunction against the mayor and council, the attorneys of the commissioners of tho bonded debt. In connection with N. E. Harris, city attorney, who represented the may or aud council in the argument of tho cose be-, foro Judge Simmons, by joint bill of exceptions carried the decision of Judge Simmons to the Supreme Court for review. When tho case was called in that court, S. H. Jamison, Esq., repre senting the mayor and council, moved to with draw the bill of exceptions; and in aid of the motion, read a resolution of tho mayor and council, instructing tho city attorneys to do so, aud also read the modified consent order al luded to above. of equity P In tho face of proceedings so far in this cue, we do not think the tax-payers of tho city can afford to risk anything fur ther on these questions. It is plainly their duty to step forward at ouce, and through a committee of their own num ber become parties to the suit, and be in position to preveut the abandonment of the city at any timo in the future when tbo laws of tbe State are pressing heavily upon Mr. Huff. So far as the Lawton caso is concerned, it is difficult to conccivo how tbe mayor and majority of council should have de sired tho trover suit-against him to he enjoined. However much they may have desired to allow Mr. Huff a cliauco to plead tho equities of his case in a court of equity, no such consideration could influ ence them in the Lawton case. It is not questioned anywhere that Lawton re ceived a portion of tho collateral' for which the action in trover ugain&t him was brought from the city direct. The treasurer took his receipts for the same, aud these are still iu possession of tho city. There Is, therefore, no account between him and tho city for au auditor to pass upon. Lawton also recognized the fact that the first collaterals hypothecated with him belonged to tbo city, when he ap plied to tho city for additional collater al upon tho original loan. The collater al with him was increased by the amount of security tho city gave him on a subse quent demand, for which ho receipted the city, and against which the treasurer hoids his receipt to-day. from nji ftcrial ladder. ^ Gail Hamilton refused to take $15,- 0S0offeredhw for. the purpose of starting a weekly paper ia WiAIUoton —Henry Waid Beecher has just hail liis life Insured for an amount whhmmoko* trie yearly premiums to be jt.H about —Tbo two fi*w Judges in ConnecUcal are named Andrew and Stoddard, but they are not the men who made the 1-itiii grammar.

I am sorry to say that organzied Democracy ta responsible for their oppres sion. It originated iu and was pn.sf ed by a House having thirty Democratic majority. With this heavy addition to onr expenses, it is folly now to demand a repeal of our in ternal revoruo taws—possibly tho tax on mutches, proprietary medicines, bank checks and b ink deposits may be removod ns wns reported npon favorably by tho committee on ways and means in (Imp last Congress. But the tax upon whisky and tobacco cannot bo removed nntil oar na tional debt is grently reduced or cancelled. As soun os this reduction takes place, we favor the repeal of all “internal revenue laws.” They can only bo excused or justiAed on tho ground of necessity that tlioywcro and are yet war meas ures. These articles—whisky and tobacco— are tho prodccts of home labor, and tho hand of tho Federal tnxgather should not be laid upoa any domestic industry. It is n restriction, a barrier to internal improve ment. It impoverishes our citizen* to tbe exlentof the tax upon lh<-ir individual in dustry. Again, it is an unjust discrimina tion between the industries of tho country; every indnrlry should be equally protected or equally taxed by the general govern ment. You say ttiey are luxuries. They may be luxuries to me but necessaries to you. Moreover, your tea nnd coffee are luxuries, and yet tbe demand from tho people was so importunate Congress was compelled to place tea and cofiee u.-on the “free list.” 1 repeat, internal taxes are an unjust dis crimination between the industries of the country, where all are entitled to eqnal rights before tho law; and these taxes con be only excused a« war measures nnd a finaLctal necessity; now, as soon as the necessity disappearejiet them ail be repealed. But how wiil you raise your revenue then,end the rovenaonow required ia addition to the amount raised from whisky and tobacco?

These are contingencies beyond bu- come South. Thus does be sweep away at one stroke tbe whole difficulty. But our contemporary does not explaiu how the manufacturers are going to j din vest tbe “Immense capital now invest- I ed” in New England—bow the owners of man calculation, almost beyond tbe ca- I 'he mills there are going to find purchas- pacity of General Alexander, to reach and formulate into figures, so that in deduci ng this iif-m from the net earnings, the arbitrary juegment of himself aud friends must give tbe weight of fact to the wild est speculations I ers fos the very property they are about to leave because it will not pay a profit, or why tbo man who proposes to buy one could not be as easlily induced to come South himself, instead. This trilling omission tangles tbe whole calculation. The Central Railroad Company owns I There Is a waf however, the wholesale the ships of the Ocean Steamship l trsnstot of tbta property can be made, and It appears from this that the manage incut of this case for the mayor and eoun- [cll had been intrusted to N. E. Harris; Mr. Jem- »g prob ably asked to b3 excused from ser vice in the case. If he had not done this, there was au agreement, or un derstanding, between Harris aud Jemison that Harris should attend to and manage this case for the city. The attorneys from whom we havo quoted state that Ihcy ar gued tho case before Judge Simmons, seems that Sir. Jemtaon did not appear. At any rate, ho ta not mentioned as Jiav ing taken any part in the case. Messrs. Billups, Hardeman and Des sau, iu connection with Mr. Harris, city- attorney in charge of this case, filed a bill of exceptions to Judge Simmons’ rul iugs and order, aud on this scut the case to the Supreme Court for review. Tho city council passed a resolution instructing this bill of exceptions with drawn from the 8upretuo Court. This action of council was taken in the ab sence of Mr. Harris, the legal adviser of the council who bad the case in hand. At a mbsequeut meeting, under the ad vice of Mr. Harris, the city council sus. peuded this resolution. At a stil later meeting, Mr. Hull appeared and stated to the city council that if Lite Jewett bill and tho usury laws wero pleaded, against him he would be thrown out of court. Iu short, he virtually acknowledged that be had no case under the laws of the Start*. The council at tbta meeting rc-euactcd or re-enforced the resolution instructing tho city attorneys to withdraw the bill of exceptions from the Supremo Court. Mr. Jemison was present aud advised this course. In justice to Mr. Jemtaon, we will state that he has given it as his opin ion that proceedings in equity, iustcad of common law, was tho proper course to take in tho caso from tho first. While this tnay bo true, the citizens of Macon fail to understand why the cause of the city should have been abandoned by the city council, at a time when by Mr. Huff’s admission tho city was certain to defeat him before the Supreme Court. ■As we understand tho facts connected with this case, Mr. Jomisou’s first appear ance iu It wss before the city council, aud bero lie favored a course entirely different from that advisod by Mr. Harris, who had the caso in charge from the first. Mr. Jemtaon afterwards, acting for the city, by agreement with Judge Hawkins aud Messrs. Lyon & Gresham, attorneys for Huff, obtained from Judge Simmons a modified order In tho case, which was published in our lsstio of the 3d. Messrs. Billups, Hardeman and Des sau say they uever saw this order until Wednesday last—the day tho caso came np in tho Supremo Court. The judgment oi tbo Supremo Court was an affirmance of Judge Simmons’ order in the marten as modified by the consent order obtained by acreciucnt between Mr. Jemison and Huff’s attorneys, as stated above. Mr. Chief Justice Jackson stated, from liis place In tho Supremo Court, that Judge Simmons was exceedingly anxious that the Supreme Court should pass upon the merits of tho case, but that tbe action of tbe city attorney, Mr. Jemison, in instat ing upon withdrawing the bill of excep tions, left tbe court without discretion to hear tbo case. The effect .of the lit igation so far has been to transfer the case from a court of common law to a court of equity. This tbe attorneys on both aides agree, as we understand, is the present status. There are two grave questions for the tax-payer of this city to consider: 1st. Will not HulPs counsel, when the case comes up, and when tbe Jewett bill and the usury law are invoked in defense of the city, plead that these baviug been overruled iu tho demurrer to Huff’s ap plication for injunction, are settled finally ao far as their application to this case is coucerned ? 2d. If npon the showing of Huff to coun- der’s contemplated issue of income bonds will transfer to tho Southwestern stock holders $1,800,000 of tho property of the Central, iu order that tha Central's stockholders may realiz3 immediately $3,475,000 of tlioir own money. Tills will rnako a loss to the Central’s a’ockholders of just $24 per share. When tbay get the income bonds, thes8 and their slock added together will bo worth just $24 per share less thau tbe stock alone ta worth before this issue. No private business would be treated in this way by its owner.
