Tiik Marietta Journal is lavish in its Advice to Felton and the various liberal parties, closing up as follows: Policy is a miserable swindle. Never bo houest for the sake of policy, but be honest because It is right iu principle. It you believe the Republican party ought to rule, then vote Witli and acknowledge your fealty to that party. If you desire the Democratic party to be In the ascendancy, then act in har mony with the Democratic party, but don't ride two horses at once, and for mere spoils of office or its expectancy claim to be a Democrat and then co-operate With its enemies. Re pig or puppy, but don’t pretend to be both. The IIout!on Home Journal says a couple of Houston county young men con template the publication ot a newspaper at Vienua, Dooly couuty, iu the near fu ture. Hawkixsyille A’ticz: The boat built by Mr. It. It. Woods, and which broke loose front her mootings and drifted down the river, was wrecked at a point called the Seven Sycamores, five miles below* Hawkiusville, and portions ot her cabin are to be seen for fifteen miles dowu the river. About one thousand dollars had been expended on the boat, and it was ready for the reception ot machinery. At a meeting of the citizens of Hawk- Insvllle, at the court Louse, on Thursday last, the following gentltmen were ap pointed as a committee to confer with the officials of the Florida Southern Railroad Company in regard to the location of the route of their road through Georgia: J.

As the mighty Hoods descended on the horizontal wheel?, the machinery moved off as quietly, easily and smoothly as if It bad been in well oiled and perfect operation fur years. Tho perfection of many months, even years, of thought and labor was witnessed In this brief moment of triumph, and as tbe crisis of pa tience and the moment of success passed the whole assembly knew that a new era in the Industrial history of Augusta bad dawued, Atuexs Banner; The stables of Floyd Kenney, who lives on the Jeff Jennings VI HU'9 about flyp nit let from Athens, in ClaikA bounty, were burned Monday night. In them were burned five cows, a calf, two mules, corn, fodder, n buggy, a wagon, and other things. Kenney is a worthy co'ored man, who, beginning with nothing, Ins accumulated a handsome \»?'ipc::ty. Besides what lie owns, he has given away a considerable amount oi land to his relatives. The Macon library has received some tarp. Wo have known libraries that con tained sheep, calf, turkey and even Lamb and Bacon; bnt tins Is the first lime we ever heard ot fish in them. Montezuma Weekly: Mr. W. F. Perry, near Lanier, has probably succeed ed iu gathering the largest ear of corn ever grown in Macon county. It contain ed 450 grains and was ten inches iu cir cumference. Macon county has some lands that are as productive as any to be found lu the State.

Columbus is in ecstasy over the arrival of the new steamboat Chattahoochee, Captain T. Q. Moore commanding. The Enquirer says she Is a “daisy.” Columbus Enquirer: Rev. Dr. J. S. Key, of Macon, made a short talk at tbe prayer meeting at St. Luke church last night, which was highly enjoyed by tho congregation. Dr. Key lias numerous friends in this city, having been stationed here as pastor of both S’. Luke and St. Paul churches, and it is always a pleasure for them to sit beneath the sound of LU familiar voice. Columbus Times: On Saturday night Mr. Bascom Everett, who lives in tbe su burbs of Lumpkin, known as Scottsboro, was shot while eating his supper, sur rounded by his family. The charge, which was squirrel shot, took effect on the right side of bis face and head, and for a time it was thought the wound was a fatal one. Tlie shot was fired through the door by seme one in tlie yard. A portion of tbe fct'Ot lodged In the door facing, but for which the five year old little son of Mr. Everett, who was silling by his side, would have been killed. The supposed perpetrator of this dastardly deed is a ne mo by tho name of Silas Ball, the hus band of a negro woman who has been Booking for Mr. Everett for some time, and whom be bad arrested last Thursday for stealing. Tbe woman had been re leased. but she has again been apprehend ed and the country Is being scoured for Silas, Tor whom we hardly think a return to Liimpkin at Ibis time would be healthy. A letter from Lumpkin written Monday nlglit reports Mr. Everett as doing very well Sam Mohius, of Thomson, a lad about eleven years old, was run over by a load ed wagon from which he had fallen, and killed.

If no disaster occurs, a larger harvest will be realized than has been known in years past. It is only to be re gretted that the acreage though large is not greater. Carters ville Free Tram: The Georgia car company have averaged near ly two care per day taking it from the tiny it commenced building them, and it was increasing all the time so as to make tlie average six. A dry kiln for lum ber is being built now, at a cost of about $3,(WO which will have a capacity of 8,000 feet per day. A force of one bun- dred hands are employed regularly under tlie superintendency of Cipt. Luca*, of sleeping car fame, and under tho direct supervision of J. Z. McConnell, construc ting cars and extending buildings. T^ir tiit-ds and liouses are forty feet wide, ayt ii in a straight lino would extend near! 800 feet. ~ Their monthly pay-rolli amounts to about $3,500 for labor alone. It is an institution that Cartereville may well be proud of. Dawson Journal: Dr. J. O. A. Clark delivered one of tiic most interesting lec tures at tbe Methodist church on last Sun day night that it has ever been our pleas ure to hear. His theme was the Ecu menical Conference of tbe Methodist church, which convened in London a lit tle lets than a year ago. Dr. Clark is alto traveling in the interest ol the “Wes ley Memorial Volume, or Wesley and the Methodist Movement.” This is one of the grandest books of tlie age, and should be read by every one who desires to keep abreast of the times. Dr. Clark is the editor of this work, and one, too, which will scarcely fail to render his name im mortal. Griffin AYtrs: Eugene Speer proposes to extend an invitation to Dr. Felton to come to Griffin and deliver an address iu tlie near future. Eugene feels^onesonie among so many of the “organized,” and adopts this means to get company. Mr. Robert K. Bloomfield, of Athens, is dead. The Athens Banner lias this to say of a Macon boy: Tbe Phi Kappa society cele- lnated its sixty-second anniveisary yester day. The orator was Mr. Hugh V. Wash ington, of Macon. With bun, Chancellor Mell, Mr. Gafihey and two standard bear ers occupied the stage. Dr. Mell opened tlie exercises witli prayer, and then introduced the orator. Mr. Washington, in beginning, spoke of tlie spirit of change which pervades all tilings, and referred to the change which is iu danger of coming over Southern sentiment, ou the principle of the assimilation of conquered to tlie conquerors. From this he deduced his subject for the occasion—the historical record of the South. Beginning with the first settlement at St. Augustine, Fla., the speaker reviewed all the leading events in tbe history of the South up to tho present time. Of course such a review was necessarily cursory; but the rapidity with which the speaker had to travel did not prevent his showing up the strong points vividly as he went along. His comparison of tlie men and the achieve ments of the Soutii with those of the North, was correct and striking. Lessons of importance to tbe young men of the South were deduced as he went along, and the speaker had a few words of coun sel to his fellow society men in closing. Mr. Washington is an easy, graceful atid forcible sneaker, and acquitted himself most handsomely throughout. The A“"’j«ta Hews of the fcSjd The two o’clock closing quotations to cay show another big tumble in stocks, and it icoks like tbe bottom is falling out.

The loss of $100,- ooo in two weeks reported lu August thus stands a pbanoe of doubling in»;r, 1 Athens fFafchmon: Hope Hull says be knows a music teaccr in Macon who can tell what sort of a voice a person has by looking dowu his or her throat. Near Sparta a negro woman’s dog brought a portion of the body of an infant into ber yard, tlie animal having eaten the rest. Sheep must be tcarcc iu Han cock, since tbe canines have taken to diet ing on babies. This is another clinching argument for a dog law. In a recent private letter from Sevcir county, Aikansa;, tlie writer says tbe State is in an alarming condition, provisions high and scarce, anil negroes threatening to break open smoke houses and cribs if their wauls are not supplied. He also asked the loan of enough money to pay his tax, as it was impossible to raise the money there. Hawkixsville Dispatch: Mr. Jas. U. Campbell, from Macon, dropped into Hawkiusville this morning. Liberal and genial—everybody likes “Jim” Campbell. Mr. Samuel W. Coney, from Gum Creek, informed us this morning that some have already finished planting corn iu his neighborhood, and many farmers have their cotton land bedded. He re. ports the oat crop fine. The old gentleman who walkod all the way from Houston county to Hawkins- villeaftera drink a few days ago, came back last week to deny it, and staid sev eral days trying to settle tbe matter. He said >uo whisky and no fence are getting Houston in a “miebty tanglement.” Covington Enterprise: Farmers, there is no use talking, you must raise bread and meat this year. Already there are over two million bales of cotton left over from tbe last two crops, and no mat ter how short the crop may be you will not receive over eight cents for your cot ton. These are facts to bo relied upon. Houston Dome-Journal: Graiu in Houston county Is now looking finely, and the prospects for a good yield, especially of oats, flattering. There is already talk of seven or eight threshers tube in tbe field. Toe liquor prohibition law In Houston county works charmingly, and so will, we believe, tbe no tenc^law. The indications are that Perry is upon the ere of a building boom. Stranger things have happened than the build ngof several handsome brick stores in l'erry. We sincerely believe that tbe present stringency of money matters, aud tbe ten dency towards a cash system, will result beneficially to the people of Houston couuty, aud next year will find them bet ter off than now. Hawkinsville Dispatch : The ordi naries and county commissioners in Geor gia are giving “king alcohol” a “black eye.” A short time ago the ordinary of Crawford county announced that he would grant no more license for the sale of liquor in that county, and a few days since the connty commissioners ot Bibb decided to grant no more license for tbe sale of liquor outside of the city ot Macon. Now the ordinary of Sumter county gives notice that he will grant no more license. Houston and Wilkiuson counties have abolished tbe sale of liq nor by a vole of the people, and Worth county will vote on the question on tbe 13th ol March. Wilcox, Irwin and Cof fee county stopped its sale a year or two ago. Hon. Cuff B. Grimes, mayor of Co lumbus was married on Thursday night to MissLncy Barnett, of that city. Dr. J.

Columbus Enquirer: It cannot be too frequently stated that strasgersare notal lowed to carry concealed weapons in this | estimated that one Richmond county city. Tliey do not vote here, and they j fanner clean $7,000 a year on hay aud cannot expect to er.joy all tiic privileges grasses. of citizenship ou a fifteen minutes’ ac quaintance. The Post-Appeal says very frankly that tbe removal of Collector Clark is not to be made for any fault in his adminis tration, nor yet for his straigbtout Repub licanism, but because he is out of aynroa- thy witli the liberal movement. This means that lie would prefer to see the Bourbons maintain tbeir supremacy. A special to the same paper, dated Washington, D. C., February 23, says the lull in Geoigia politics has been followed by a storm. Gen. Longstreet called on Secretary Foiger this morning and had a long interview. Tlie Secretary also sent for Jack Brown. Tlie Secretaiy told Brown be liad been desired to ask for Clark’s resignation at once, but that be would retain Wade. In tiic matter of the Brunswick collectorship, ho said ho had concluded to pass over Newton, rec ommended by tbe syndicate, and appoint Sidell to succeed Collius. Walter H. Johnson will succeed Clark iu the col lectorship. Ai.banv&Xhcs aiul Advertiser: It requires i<o prophet to foresee the likeli hood of a desperate political battle in Georgia next fall. Slowly and quietly, yet surely, the working politicians are lieing placed by the administration “where tliey will do the most good,” and every where forces are being arranged witli an evident view to combine the strength of tbe rag tag and malcontents of both polit- •cal parties with the negroes for a strong Mil against, the Democracy. nti/erl’eelher Vindicator: Generally our jjtlliiral friends say tho small grain unusually promising but fears are exported that its remarkable forward ness i\| cause the crop to be injured by the lat^LtJd wester, which always comes in the sp\ 0 \ In many localities consid erable inji\i^s reported from cat-worms and a ipwWCwpplM fly.

Waynesboro Herald: Wishiu know sometbing of the political pi bilities -ae strolled around some last endeavoring to find out how the roil lights of Burke stood ou the coal movement. Our success was not in| portion to cur efforts. Iu other . we found a majority of them thoroi _ non-committal. Hope Mackenzie and Judge Terry were the only “anybody to beat Felt«i” men we could find, aud ci ther cf these would resent being called politicians. We returned to our iatr con vinced that the strong point of tbe Burke politician was waiting to see the cat jump before hoisting colors. Augusta News: The Central rail road issue of certificates ou tlie Ocean Steamship Line, is still unsettled, aud Mr. Wadley seems to have put a strong brake on tbe machine. Atlanta Constitution: Tbe cal tie thief is no respecter of breeds. A few nights ago two very fine milch cows were stolen from Mr. JamesP. Harrison. They were valued at $125 each, but it is pre sumed that they have gone tbe way of all the earth by this time. Tiib Washington Gazette seems puzzled over the following; We understand that a man by tbe name of Tunnage has ma:- ried the wife of a man named Walker who is in the chain-gang serving out a life time sentence.

Greene might be made a large and profit able exporter of hay every year, gathered front her creeks aud river bottoms, near the rai road. It would pay better thau cither corn or cotton. Waynesboro Herald: Mrs. Feltou has been interviewed. The lady is full of politics and is of the opinion that JuJge Crawford will bo the nominee of tbe Democrats. The reverend parson and bis wife seem to have a mania on the subject of Georgia politics. Atlanta Constitution: We had a pleasant call yesterday trom Colonel R. if. Pulsifer, one of the proprietors of the Boston Herald. Colonel I’ulcifer and his two partners in the Herald, own a rail road iu Florida, running from Sanford to Apopka, a distance of about four miles. They are now extending it eighty miles further. They also own a large and, we believe, a controlling interest in tbo Ma rietta anil North Georgia railroad, which is also being extended as rapidly as possi ble. Colonel Pulsitcr lias spent the last three weeks in an investigation of these properties, and yesterday evening for Boston. Of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, lie said: “We are very much encouraged at tbe outlook of this road and the country through which it passes. It will be a great developing agent and pruvo a very valuable property.” “How nearly is it completed?” “We are now running about three miles beyond Canton. Wc should have been further than this but for delays in buildiog a bridge over the Etowah. The work on this bridge has been washed away three times, bat it is now In a fair way lor completion. We have about two hundred hand* at work and everything is moving forward rapidly.” “When will you reach Jasper?” “We will run trains through to Jasper about tbe 15th of May.” “The work will then be pushed forward to Murphy ?” “Yes. We have the means to finish tlie work aud in tend to do it. I can’t tell yet when we will reach Murphy, but you may say that tbe work will be steadily continued until that point is reached. We havo bought lion tor tbe road and it will be equipped in good style, and will be able to promptly ana comfortably handle all the trade that is offered. 1 “You think that it w ill develop tbe country through which it passes ?” “I am sure or it. To give you an example, Messrs. Williams, Black & Co., who own the Ducktowu mines, have announced that they will put fifteen hundred men at work in the mints as soon as we reach that point and will give them transporta lion. They havo now only enough men at work to keep tbe mines from going to ruin. This is simply an example ot what will follow the road. The section through which it passes is very ricu in minerals, woods and heavy freights that aro practi cally locked up now for the lack of means to carry them out.” Colonel Pulsifer— ard by the way he has enough iuteresl in Georgia uow to entitle him to the appella tion of colonel—is very much interested in tbe material growth of tbe South, and lias the fullest confidence in the invest ments he has made. The Herald is un questionably the most powerful paper in New England. Its proprietors are cautious, conservative business men, and tbe enterprise that they bave shown in patting large investments in tbe South, ana in giving it proper credit in their col umns, will have great influence.

Columbus Times: An old gentleman, whose name lias escaped us, living above Atlanta and 04 years old, is ou a visit to Mr. Daniel Owens, near Momilville. The old gentleman rode horseback tlie entire distance from bis home to the house of -Mr. Owens on a steed forty years old. The above is vouched for by one of the most reliable men in the seveutli district. Athens Banner: We learn that tlie owners of tlie celebrated Jarrett gold mine in White county, havo recently pur chased from Mr. J. U. Nichols the Anna Rubv fails whicli control tlie mine. This adds much to tbe value of a property al ready very valuable. The proprietors are two well known gentlemen of Athens. Auousta Chronicle: Yesterday, about 1 o’clock, while David Dolphin, the col ored engineer at Rutherford’s brick yard, near Hamburg, was beating some oil on tbe furnace, bis apron accidently caught fire unknown to him. When fie saw bis clothing on fire he rushed out in the yard, and the flames were fanned by tlie breeze which, of course, made it still worse for btm. He was seen immediately after he ran out by Mr. Rutherford, who went to bis assistance at once, and with the help of some of the laborers lie succeeded iu extinguishing the flames with some bag ging. David was terribly burned about the back and legs. It was necessary to cut bis clothing off witli a pair of scissois* A wagon was procured, ar.d he was ca:- ried to his home on upper Broad street, where he now lies in a critical condition. Athene Chronicle: There is a gentle man in this city who is the possessor of an animal that, at first sight, would be taken for a wolf; but on closer inspection, one will see that it Is a fieice looking dog. He bos more than once attacked people in tbe street, causing a certain young man to climb a tree and be deprived of the pleas ure cf a visit to his sweetheart; another older citizen was forced to flee for his life, and theu came out of tbe race miuus his coat-tails; another gentleman, Mr. Dave Camp, the proprie tor of the Curtis cream agitator, was thrown dowu by this ugly canine, and held iu a most uncomfortable position for fttlly twenty minutes—the dog not seeia- iug to waut'to bite Mr. Camp, but appear ed to take a delight iu stauding over him —and when his victim would attempt to move, he would growl aud snap at him. He continued to do this until his owner, Mr. Thomas Thornton, pulled him off. Savannah Acres: The lire ou Thurs day right, tbe refi :ctiou ol which caused a vigilant and zealous policeman to sound an alarm from station No. 32, corner ot Wayne and West Board streets, was in Kingsville, a little settlement abcut five miles south of Satan.iah. It was caused by tbe burulug cf a house occupied by an aged colored woman named Phillis Perry, and the poor old crea ture was burned to oeatb. Tho cir cumstances of the distressing affair, as we gle .n them, aro as follows: The woman was very old auil helpless, so much so that oue of the neighbors bad to unlock tlie Lous: for ber tbe evening be fore. She apparently lit a fire ou tbe heartb and lay down to sleep, not iu her bed but before tbe lire, ou account of tlie cold. Borne time near 12 o’clock tlie fire seems to have caught the wood work and also the dress of the poor woman. A negro woman, sleeping up stairs, thought in her sleep to have heard the old woman wail- iug and lamenting, whereby she was fi nally awakened, and, on opehing ber eyes, found part of the roof on .fire and already falling in, while tbe room below was oue mass of flame. She heard no more of the miserable sufferer. The stairway inside the house was already burning, aud she was compelled to jump from the small veranda, ten feet from tbe ground, luckily escaping unhurt, but saving nothing besides tlie clothes she slept iu, except a quilt- widen she had suf ficient presence ot mind to wrap around her. The neighbors could not extinguish the flames, partly because the whole buil ding was ablaze. The intensity of foe heat was so great that some iron kitchen utensils were completely melted. Next morning a small heap of scorched re mains of vertebno, with some clotted fragments of burnt flesh adhering to them, maiked the spot where tho poor creature had lain down to rest the evening before. Part of the thigh bone, etc., could be traced by the calcined remains of bones. The skull seemed consumed, except one piece oi tho cranium, discovered by the coroner in tho direction of tho demolished fireplace, and . cov ered by some yet burning remnants of tho clothing. The tornado last fall de stroyed tbo chimney, licuce tbe fireplace had no proper vent, and tills seems to bave been tbe cause of the cntastroplie, which has completed the work of the storm, re ducing tlie dwelling to ashes.

But, Mr. Editor, when I last bad the pleasure of meeting you personal ly, it was-in Atlanta, where I was told by a gentleman whose name is at your disposal, that you had yourself inform ed him that you were there in tlie employ of a certain railroad presi dent as a correspondent to influence pub lic sentiment in certain matters iu which he had an interest. Imyselfaisosawsomo of your letters written in the said inter est, aud heard that you were employed as stated from gentlemen connected witli the railroad. 1 have no doubt, Mr. Ed itor, that it was all rigid, but evidently you kuow more about “beguiling unsus pecting publics” than I do. And wheu iu my first letter I attrib uted the possession of Southwestern stock to you, I meant not to yourself personally —as I tliiuk you might have known—hut to the gentlemen who own your paper. If. may be that your editorials are not influenced in the least by their private interests and views, but as l knew some of these gentlemen personally, and knew something of their personal interests, and their bitterness in tliia matter, and found a feeiiug of exactly tbe corresponding in tensity reflected in your pages, I trust 1 may oe excused for imagining that it was not a mere coiucideuce—especially as I bad never heard of you as au expert and a teacher in financial matters, who might be disposed to discuss them for very love of such subjects aud over flowing information about them. How ever, if you say it was a mere coincidence we will let that matter drop. Aud desir ing to keep the discussion within the lim its of good sense,as well as good of nature I skip all notice of your bosh about brokers, etc. \ ou kuow as well as any other sensible mar. that brokers are in tbe same relation to stocks as commission merchants are to cotton. Without them stocks would lose a very large element of their value—their ready convertibility; because those holders who wished to sell could uot then readily find parties wish ing to buy. Aud the broker who lias bought a stock to sell again ha; the same right to control it, and to s:ek to es tablish its intrinsic value, as tlie man who has bought bacon or coflee to sell has over those articles. Now, what 1 proposed to do In the matter of the Central railroad stock, lias, to all intents and purposes, already been accomplished, and this is all tl at it is: Tlie steamship board passed a resolu tion that, whereas, its large yearly net earnings have heretofore been entire'y applied to extensions and additions to its property, which has now become so valu able and profitable that a portion of the net earnings may be reasonably in future turned over to tiic Central railroad, there- tore, it was resolved that this policy should be declared and announced in such form that the Central Railroad could have assurance of it for the future. This assurance was given by a single “certificate of interest,” which was duly drawn up by tlie Steamship Company, signed, sealed and turned over to the Cen tral Railroad Company. I give you the form of it iu full, that it may be plainly uudcistood: OCEAN STEAMSUIl* CO. OF SAVANNAH- Certificate of Interest. “Tho Central Railroad and Bauking Company of Georgia, for value received, is entitled to rcceivo from the annual net earnings of tho Ocean Steamship Com pany of Savannah, to be ascertained as Hereinafter provided, annual interest upon 43.500,UU) at ssch rato, cot to exceed seven :er cent, per annum,(and to be cumulative n case of either entire or partial default during any one or more years) as tlie whole of the said nit earnings so ascertained will avail and bo sufficient to psy upon tho said sum, under the conditions herein. “Xlio net earnings applicable to the pay ment of interest, ns above, shall be ascer tained as follows by the board of directors of the said (Jcaau Steamship Company: From tlie gross earnings of tho said com pany from its ships, wharves, compresses, warehouses, and all other property or in vestments whatever, for each fiscal year from and utter September 1st, 1881, there eball be deducted, “First. The expenses of operation for the fiscal year, widen shall embrace the usual and necessary expenses of conducting its various forms of business, taxo«, cost of fire insurance and ordinary repairs of property, and nay uninsured loss by marine or tire disaster during the ycr. “Srcotid. Interest upon its bonded and other indebtedness, as tli9 same may exist from lime to time. “Third. An annai.l reserve fund of ono hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for tho retirement of any oatstaudiug bonds or other indebtedness which may exist from time to time, mid for tho gradual increase of tho company’s property, and ns a sur- fios or reserve fund for such uses as the joard of directors ot the said com pany may deem proper. T he remainder of the company’s gross annual earnings or *215,000 thereof, should tliey exceed that amount, shall be nppliod to tbo payment of interest, ns pledged by this instrument. “And annual statements of the gross and net earnings of tho said Ocean Bteamsbip Company for tho preceding fiscal year ending August 31st, shall bo published in one or more public journals iu the city of Savannah, Ga., daily during the first week iu November of eacli yoar; and the annual intorest payable shall be advertised there with, and shall bo paid ou or before tho first day of December of each year. “This certificate of interest may be transferred in multiples of one hundred dollars ou the books of tho company, at any time (except during tho month of No vember), by the party In whose name it is registered, in person or by an attorney duly authorized for that purpose. Nocortificato will be issued for less than ono hundred dollars. , „ .. _ “In witness whereof, the Ocean Steam ship Company of Savannah has causoa this instrument to bo signod by its presi dent, and attested bv its secretary, Una 7th day of FetRnary. 1882.” Now that Instrument is nothing but a permanent regulation that tho net earn ings ol the Steamship Company shall be carefully ascertained and published year ly, and that tho first $150,000 thereof shall be strictly applied to sinking and reserve funds and additions to property, after which tho excess to the amount of $245,000 shall go into the treasury of the p*ny shall bo first nst-d as a guarantee fund to assure to Central railroad stock holders nine per cent, dividends, should tho railroad itself fall to make them, which, however, 1 don’t believe tliey will ever fail to do. If uot needed fur that purpose, the amount received should be declared a* au extra dividend to tbe Cen tral railroad stockholders, whicli would be sufficient to give tbcin about two per ceut more; and the Southwestern about one aud six-tenths, if they are entitled to share in it. Then Central railroad stock may practically be considered as a guaranteed nine per cent, stock, with a prospect of at least eleven per cent, in good years. This is estimating that the railroad itself is able to earn ouly nine per cent. If any one will si udy its reports for tiie last few years be will see tbat it has never earned less. Last year it earned enough to have paid el-.ven and three-quarters per cent., after spending $457,000 ou permanent im provement?, as stated by the superinten dent, and without counting the $500,000 earned by tho steamships. If these large earnings are not to be divided to the stockholders, the management ot tho road will necessarily feel no necessity to be economical, aud they are apt to be spent in a manner which will be ot little or no benefit to the stockholders. Your own paper lias recently indicated as an illustration of this tendency, a plan to have a double track for about half of the distance between Savannah aud Atlanta. Now, the business done over this line of road is only altool $7,000 per mile per annum; and the road has but tew aud light curves, and only thirty, feet grades. The main line of tho Louisville aud Nashville dees a business of $10,000 per annum, over eighty feet grades aud many curves, atid with lower average rates than the Central tailioad enjoys. How absurd, then, would It be to spend an enormous sum of raouey in double tracking a road that is not. worked to one-' third of its capacity! As you are not a stockholder yourself, it may amuse you to see it done. But I think that those who are stockholders would much prefer to have the money in dividends; aud we wish to see such a policy inaugurated that the dt- rectois will feel a pressure upon them to economize, and cut off all unnecessary ex penditures, and exert themselves to let tlie stockholder havo the full benefit of what the property is able to earn. I do not tbiuk they should feel that their whole duly is discharged when eight per cent, is paid to tlie Central aud seven to the Southwestern. Very respectfully, E. 1*. Alexander*. Atlnmn Letter. Atlanta, February 24.—The “cracker” town, so-called, ia unusually quiet. Even the stilted announcement of Gen Gartroll’s candidacy for gubernatorial honors has failed to create more than a passing ripple in the public mind. For a generation or more the General has been instant iu sea son and out of season with regard to the chief executive office of the State, and always as a regular out and out, dyed-in-the-wool party man. It was only at the last gubernatorial convention of the organized Democracy that he wus announced by his own consent, and at his own earnest solicitation, as a candidate for the nomination. But ho fuiled to secure the prize, and now we find him a self-announced candidate on the Feltonian or iudopoadent platform of the sore-heads. Poor fellow 1 he will never bo governor of Georgia. Indeed, he will bo ns easily tenter, ns almost any man who could be drafted in the Stale. Dr. Felton would at least make things lively; and eo with Albert Cox, Harry Jackson, or Emory Speer; but General Gartrell—never. We shall have a dead ca!m next" summer, instead of an exciting and interesting political contest—that is, if Gen. Gartrell or Judge Hook should be the candidate of the opposition. The “liberal” or “independent'’ move ment is is making no headway among Democrat*. I have met with but one man who lm* noted with the Democratic party since tlie war that says he will support the nomination of tlie coalition—only oue; whereas I have fouud scores, even among Dr. Felton’s old supporters, who openly declare that they they will follow him no further, but will be found hereafter in the ranks of the “iron-ribbed Democracy.” The same intelligence is received here front all parts of the Slate. But there is a »,ood deal of figuring jjo'm; on among the Democrats also. Mrs. Felton says-according to tho Constitu tion- that the slate h is been made up, and that Judge Crawford, of Columbus, now on the Supreme Court beech, is to make tho race for governor on the part of the “Organized;” that Jim Brown, of tho Blue ltidge circuit (a brother of your uncle Joseph), ii to take his place on the Su- £ reme Court, ard that brother George N. •ester is to succ-ed Brown in the Blue Hi-.lgo ciicuit. The Madam is very nstute, but she has, 1 think, missed the mark this time. Columbus will hardly furnish tho next Democratic candidate for Governor. The convention called to nerni- nald candidates for governor and State houso officers, will doubtless alto, select tho candidate for Congi essman at large. Sev eral names have already been suggested for this position. •1 here is a suspicion that Senator Brown let his foot slip a few days ago when he of fered a resolution to allow Senators a pri vate secretary at the public expense. His critics say bo is a very rich man—that he secure! tho lease of tho State road for twenty years—that he has the State’s con victs to dig tho coal out of hi* great mine, and the State’s road to haul it to market— that he is one pt tbe State’s Senators in Congress »t a salary of fivo thou sand dollar* a year—tbat he rides to and from Washington, like a prince in hi* own palace car, and that he is now call ing niton tho senate to allow him a private secretary nt tho public expenso. Of conrso tneso critics are envious and muliguant, and yet I havo hoard more than ono talk this way within llio past weok. It must bo confu-sed, however, tbat yonng Brown driving fats little bnll about Gaddistown, and er-Govcrz-or and Senator Brown trav eling in bis own richly-appointed private car, presents a very striking and encour aging contrast.

Tlie following communication was re ceived soveral days ago but misplaced : Talbotton, Ga., February 17,1882. Editors Telegraph and Messvnoer:— Sinro writing to you in reference to Bill Arp’s lecture iu out town, I learn that tho writer of the article t j which I replied is highly respect yonng attorney-at-law of our town, in the person of Mr. John W.

I desire to say, however, that I withdraw none of tbo facts asserted in my article in relation to the lecture of Col. timilh, or its reoeption by “our people,” all of which I stand to and declare to be true. I just wish to evy that no personal iusult was intended for Mr. Hall. He has always been my friend, and I would not do him ::d injustice. Respectfully, W. E. Mcmfood. P. S.—This is dono freely and voluntari ly bv me in justice to my friend. )Y. E. M. Their Joya aud Thslr Borrows The French writer, Sicbeck, lias written quite touchingly on tho subject of tho spinster. “We attribute,” ho says, “her impassiveness to her hardiness. Who can tell all the treasures of tenderness alio is obliged to keep hid within? She is like the rich man wlioie money tho tradesmen and poor havo atiko refused, and whom tlie public treat* as a uiggrrd.’’ He traces her history from early womauhood, speaks of the men she has looked towaid with loving eyes, but who passed her by to marry some of ber companions. As she grows older she becomes heartsick, and is reset ve above $150,000 or disposo of the excess as they choose. ' This regulation might, in fact, have been made by a simple resolution of the board. But tbo advantage in putting it in this more permanent form is. that tho Central railroad stockholders may have assurance that tho policy will not be changed ; and the credit of the Ceulral railroad may be strengthened by having something more permanent to show than the line of policy depending upon tbo will of the board of directors from year to year. Or imiay be transferred aud usediin part or In whole as collateral, should the railroad companv*desire to do so In times of stringency. There is no possible view which can be taken of this, or ne Imaginable concurrence of events which can make this permanent regulation a load upon the Central railroad or affect Us stability and credit, and its ability to pay dividends, otherwise than favorably All tbat has been don# is only to give an assurance to tbe Central railroad stock holders that, when tbe Steamship Com pany is prosperous they shall In future re ceive a part of the net income into the general treasury of the company. All that remains to be done, for the present at least, Is simply for the Central railroad board of directors to an nounce to tbeir stockholders .tbat tbe incgtey received from the steamship com- % that she has a heart. love deeply.” And so sho droops her life away. Tho doctor comes one day, feels her pulse and writes on a slip of paper: “Bi-carbonale of irou, Ju3t before dinner, in a spoonful of soup; wine ol qui nine, a small glass morning and evening.” Imbecile! Heshould hare written: “Take a husband.” And so “her file slips away; aud humanity in its folly has put it to no use. But when that life has abnegation, devotion, heroism for its motive, thou is it steadr&st, valiant. It will bo said tbat all the noble sentiments which she pos sessed at heart, and which could not be spread beyond, have grown a hundred fold by force of concentration. Read the yearly amount of great deeds, deeds truly great—deeds which alone are great—the report of the institute for tho choice of the prize of virtue. Tho heroines are all old maids ! Aud for ten that achieve public fame bow many remain to tbe shadow ? Laugh at them, them ; go on laughing at them forever. As lor me, when I meet one my head is bowed with respect as be fore a great virtue, and iny heart swells as before a saint.” Glowing as this panygeric is, and satis factory as it must be to tbe class of wo men alluded to, it fails to speak of the womanly tenderness of the spinster in the time of sickness.
