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. Dr. A. G.

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.
