The Soldiers’ Reunion.
The reunion of the old Confederate
soldiers, to be held at Xewnan on tlie
21st of July, will be the largest and
most notable gat liering of the kind to
take place anywhere in the State, dur
ing the present year. All the old sol
diers of the 1st Georgia Regiment, 7th
GeoYgia Regimeht and the 12th Geor
gia Halt alion, and all the veterans of
the county, will be Imre, together with
their families, from the oldest to the
youngest, and if the committees will
but half do their duty there will be
enough dmnerto feed ten thousand peo
ple, and many basketfuls over. Let
the committees come up next Tuesday
with tin ir subscription lists well tilled
up. Rclow will be found the result of
only an hour’s canvass, which shows
how ready and willing tlie people are
to contribute. Let the good work go
on, and let old Coweta maintain her
reputation for unbounded hospitality.
The list at present foots up twenty-six
carcases and $175 in money. The Jail
list will be published in The II 1:1:ar.i»
AND Advertiser after the committee
meeting next Tuesday, and the man
whose name does not appear on that
list will feel lonesome.

nerves of the doubtful Congressmen.
There is still a possibility that a mu- Question,
tual agreement may be reached be-j
tween t lie friends and the opponents of
the measure to let it come to a vote a~
it stands, but there is little prospect of
such a consummation. The chances are
that it will remain in statu quo until
after the National Convent ions of both
parties. The House needs time for dis
posing of appropriation bills and the
consideration of other matters.
T he tariff issue, as represented by
this bill, is m good shape for the in

sections the free-wool clause will be
found strong enough to stand alone, j
There maybe three or four weeks ol
debate on amendments, but the bill -
will go through the House before the;
end of the sessiotf, although it is possi
ble that one or two slight changes may
be made by the friends of the measure.
The Republicans are ail at sea. i bey
cannot agree on a bill nor can they
agree to disagree. The minority of the
Ways and Means Committee is exceed
ingly inharmonious. There is a loud
demand for a policy with which to go
to the country, hut tlie brethren cannot
meet this demand. The Republican
.Senators are exceedingly anxious and
want to do something, but it is uncer
tain what may be the outcome of then
anxious consultations.
Meantime the Democratic situation
is extremely cheerful. I T he long-loot-

Morrison and Carlisle.
Baltimore Sun.
It may appear to some persons a re
venge of fate that Illinois sends Mr.
William R. Morrison, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee in the
forty-eighth and forty-ninth Congress
es, as one of her delegates at large to
assist in the preparation of that impor
tant paper. Mr. Morrison, it will be
recalled, incurred the enmity ot pro
tectionists by proposing in the forty-
eight li Congress a “horizontal” reduc-
fron of 2(> per cent, in tariff duties, and
by proposing another tariff reduction
bill, on a different, plan, in the forty-
ninth Congress. lie was accordingly
singled out, for defeat in the election
for the fiftieth Congress, and Mr. John
Jarrett, of the American Tinplate As
sociation, and ex-president,of 1 lie Amal
gamated Association, in October, 1880,
organized at Pittsburg a corps of thir
teen miners to go out to Mr. Morrison’s
district to electioneer quietly against
him. Altogether some $2,297.42. was
raised in Pittsburg, by an association
that wanted the duty of tinplate, in
creased 110 per cent., for use against
Mr. Morrison. The scheme succeeded,
unda gentleman favorable to an ad
vance of DO per cent, in the price of
raw material ot an extensive Maryland
industry was elected. The same under
handed method was employed to unseat
Mr. Carlisle, but without success. Mr.
Morrison and Mr. Carlisle.still stand in
the way of the would-be tinplate mon
opolists.
A Big Pile of Money.
Baltimore Sun.
On April 30 of the present year, said
Secretary Fairchild in his recent speech
at Brooklyn, there were about $700,000,-
000 in the custodv of the Treasury De
partment, Of this huge amount only
about 8300,000,000 belongs to the United
States, the rest being held on deposit
to redeem gold, silver and legal-tender
certificates and national bank notes.
Of the $300,000,000 belonging to United
States $100,000,000 is held subject to
checks outstanding, disbursing officers’
drafts, matured interest, called bonds,
etc., and $20,000,000 is in subsidiary sil
ver coin. There remains still the vast
sum of $110,000,000 free and clear from
any possible liability—a useless surplus
forced out of men’s pockets by reason
of excessive tariff taxes. It is wrong,
in Secretary Fairchild’s opinion—and
in the opinion of a good many people—
that all this large sum of money should
every year be taken out of circulation
to serve no purpose but that of the pro
tectionist manufacturers and concoc-
ters of trusts.
i In nothing, perhaps, is the progress
of tins country more conclusively
shown than in our railroad building,
! and the material and men employed in
operating them. It is astonishing. Fit-
tty years ago this mode of transporta
tion was just beginning to be known-
now we have nearly 150,000 miles in op
eration, to which we may add from
ei<_c!it to ten per cent, annually—our
mileage being one-half that of the
world. Late statements show that
there are now in use on American rail
roads 20,415 locomotives, 10,202 passen
ger cars, 0,325 baggage cars, 845,014
freight cars. The total cost ol this
rolling stock is $700,000,000. If made up
in one"train it would be 5.000 miles in
length, or stretch twice across tiie con
tinent, or extend nearly one-fourth
around the world.
