©lie li/lmlaml Sdmfecr, A LK.Y. (Milium. Editor 4 levcfitiHl, (d'orgiu,, ,? T S; -*erstr*-, , RAIL ROADS MONOPOLIES. We believe it «os !!><• Louden Turn that said “tho boasted ILpabiRun gov ernnient of the United States is t bop tnrchy ro’od by even rail road Kings ” j Ph« allegation is but too true, and bo- ! ing true is a!arming. With largo pro j erty ui ler their control these jay?ics i have not defied tho laws when passed, j -ut have approached the executive, indicia! ami legislative sources of law, and have naught to sanctiiy their crimes with tho coloring of right. Parties and partisan exigencies have been opportu¬ nities fir success to lb; ni. and have furnished (ho conditions necessary to form strong coalitions. They have been welcomed into tho camp of both tho great parties as tho Indians wore ! i-ito tho camps of both Uie British and ! \meriean armies during tho. revolution war. And . s tho bomb; mam of their ivago allies wore in that case alter¬ nately demmuced by tories and whigs, so these no les. bourbons and relentless •biefs have been it. turn'denounced by both Republicans and Democrats. Both parties and all tho people feci that tho existence ; nd present status, of these great corporations.are a constant men¬ ace to the best interests of tho commu¬ nity. Many of tho States to meet the danger have erected Rail Road com** missions to take the oversight of these great organizations. Georgia has a Rail Road commission. Rail road mon¬ ey is being used thrdugh certain jour¬ nals to attack ,4ho law ‘creating this commission. Some journals aro not [raid in money to make the attack, but are incited by local interests and per¬ son rd influences. They and tkair nec¬ essary colleagues are constantly prating about (ho 'Mights” in tho caso, and ‘•justice - ’ etc. Now we have simply to answer, the State has a right to regu¬ late anything, oven private property, if its use threatens her prosperity. Every mau and corporation has a right to, use bis property as ltd pleases, so long as his use of it does not conflict with tho public woal —and no loDger. They tell us that rail road property is just like any other property. We answer ihat this is the very question wo are debating, and the simple affirm¬ ation of one of tho disputants does no! Kettle it. But as S, matter of fact, evo-. rybody knows i.i-U.it Is mot just like any other property. It is a public cat tier, and is subject to alltbo principles of common law, ailYctiiig such-- More¬ over it has special privileges before the statute law. An individual can not compel mo to .sell him my property. A , rail road for purposes of right of way, | ‘ “ ’ | when , I , refuse . tojsell .. can conoaom , : property and taka it. It is useless to multiply points of diiibreuco. Nothing' can be simpler than that tbefo are very material . , differences ,, between railroad , ! f j property and other property, unless it j is the head ut a mau who cant under- j j* , „ I j ihoy talk or 'vested , , rights.’ .. , , ., Wo ... answer, the people bad some vested I rights in this country before rail roads were bait. Unless we gro ' to respect j j Sacrealy ,, the . rights . , c-t more acquire-, al wealthy few than we do tho material ! rights of a toiling multitude. then there j is no force in this plea. This plea - of “vested , riguts" . , has been , so frequently . , | perverted to the defense of Shy lock 8 and Ex" rtiorii;rs that wo have begun to diotri’.-.t any scheme which employs ,t. ' * It , is . the node ,, prosequi escapement ol all „ that crowd of rouges who sock to make theft respectable by'ranking it lawful. Wo coni mood to {heir consideration the following couplet. What it lacks in poetic merit and precision it makes up in round philosophy; “What thief e'er thinks well of the ia w When be feels the baiter draw.” Wo Mo at a loss to kuow why so many lunatics have just arisen to a sei se of uirty, and that commands are g.veu them to kill some of our best and most imp ■< ant men, such as tho Proai df nt, Secretary Blaine, &c. This is something very mysterious to us, but wo have our opinion notwithstanding, w hether right a wroug. A seems that Secretary Blaine is ve¬ ry deeply affected in consequence of the ata. asioation of Mr. Garfield. THE RAILROAD Since a short communication a few weeks ago in reference t > our railroad, nothing more haf been said. Tbore to bo very little energy in that' direction except a little wind work in sotno shady corner. Thoro is no doubt as to the charter being granted; but tho greatest diffi culty is in getting the people suJTicient ly aroused to get them so subscribe to the road. They scorn to bo hard to convince of ’‘the fa«t. that it would greatly enhance their property—that it would bring ’capital- into the county, and that tho farmers would, have a ready cash market for all their surplus productions, vHiicfi, in a few years would be immense. There is not a man residing in tho county who could not afford to givo five dollars to this enterprise, no matter bow limited his means. Suppose that every mau five dollars for evory hundred dollars worth of property, it would sc ™ re tho ri « ht of way and survey tho road and leave considerable surplus. Let us do that. Let us convince tho world that wo need tho road- that wo want it and that wo jntencf to have it; then tho trouble is over—there is no room to doubt theT'oad paying,, for, in a vogy short tiruo White.county will be a first class cotton growing county, be¬ sides its excellent grain growing quali¬ ties -the vast amount of valuable tim¬ ber—its inexhaustible minerals, is suffi¬ cient to convince capitalists that tho road will pay a handsome dividend, and they would bo ready and anxious to take hold and complete tho road. A3 tho charter is almost certain to be granted, let ns go forward—take hold in earnest, and if wo meet with opposi¬ tion oxert tho more energy and we aro hound to succeed. Don't one wait for another, but let us go to work at once. If wo would accomplish anything wo must go to work and continue until tho work is done. More in future. TEMPERANCE* LAW ENDORSED. Tho Kansas Medical Society, Topoka, have endorsed the temperance laws in that Stale. We give the following from the Augusta (Ark.) Republican: At the recent meeting of the "Kansas Medical Society, Topeka, tho commit¬ tee on “state temperance law,' consist¬ ing of l)rs. Root, Oliver, and Jones, reported an endorsement of tho law, which report was adopted. We clip the following from tho report of tho proceedings of the society: Dr. Root moved that tho society adopt as their views Ihe following extract from tho address of tho president. Tho state tetuporauco law lately pass¬ ed by tho legislature, has one require¬ ment objectionable many physicians, viz; The taking of an oath prior to prescribing any alcohol stimulants. This alone should not, it seems to me, be objected to,, for while it may seem at tirstfsjght to rcllect upon those who are beyond suspicion, it is well to re merubor that laws are made not for tho ru iy and those obedient to the law, but for the law breakers. It is required of tho president of the united States that he take tho oath yf office, but wo have no doubt that without it he would faitbfiHy perform the duties of his office. *-The require mont does not of necessity filler a sue piclous evasiyn yf the* law without it. Let uses h^in.Rbo pto.8iCf.ns studv tho efforts of lhe uic^st workers in obedience tw it, - v - Dr, Needy, of Leavenworth, moved ‘Mjonrn, but was ruled but «>! order by tho chair, ]jr, Rogeboon moved tho prcvibt.s question. The motion of Dr, Root then provail c A? Ironi h "‘* appluuse. too above u Is evident that tho temppranco law is favorably understood by'the medical fraternity generally. Of course any one living in Leavenworth atytmrig ' vou, i ^. oil else. jcct t<» Now it—nobody the Supreme expected Court will go ahead and sustain tub law and interpret its meaning and applications as to druggists and others, tho drug¬ gists will then take out the necessary poimits, the physicians will comply , | with the law, the well-meaning, law abiding, and true patriotic citizens will 1 settle into their former peaceful business relations, and the old soaks and consti¬ tutional grumblers will either stop then imbeefie ravings or leave the state, and their places be supplied by good citi¬ zens. The amendment cau not bo re¬ pealed under four years aud tho sooner its oppenents realize the fact, and de¬ cide to abide by the consequences the letter for all concerned. The New York legislature is still making a spectacle of itself. “The plantation manners” of those Stalwart bourbons is disgusting Doubling aud Platt ought to bo shipped over to Bos¬ ton and divorced. They are tho fellows that produced the hall breeds. WHO SAW IT FIRST ? Tho question of who discovered the prison t comet has become a most mo-, mo a tous one. Over 500 persons have laid claim to the honor aud tho Warner Prize of $200, and all of them are wdhin comparatively tho same time. It is desirable that no injustice be done in this matter, and to this end all par ties who saw tho comet during tho week ending June 2oth, or previously, will 1 ploaso forward their . claims . without . . do lay to Prof. Swift, ’ Director of tho Warner ... Ooservatory, . Rochester, , , N. \. It is certain the discovery was made by a private individual, but who that iudi victual is remains to bo seen. i Tho assassination of the President; bas caused much excitement and indig-! nation throughout tho whole country. 1 Attempts' will, and no doubt are now being made to make it appear that tho assassin is a lunatic. If tho assassina-, tion was a plot and a bossed job, it was | no doubt the intention of the boss to j be President (in effiect), but we do hope that things imiv so turn out that this low, vilo plot may bo so thoroughly ex¬ posed as to defeat it in every particular. Of courso wo do not know that it was a plot, but eveu tho breezes that fan our cars seem to say that a villainous, dastardly scheme had boon concocted (or the accomplishment of tho hclish deed. -Tho dispatches say Hon. Emory Speer has gono ovor to tho Republicans, and that his going was a la Mahone. Edi- 1 tor Waterman of tho Athens Banner denounces the statement an lalse. Wa terman is a careful man and a truthful man. We will wait and sec what we see, only saying at this time if Emory should try to play Mahone in - Georgia, the Ninth District will 'pixadjnst" him. certain. In fact wo might-go the whole length of tho readjuster platform aud “ repwdiate ” him. A dispatch from San Francisco to the Courier-Journal, dated July 3d, says: The press comments on tho assassin nation concur in considering the act that of a lunatic, but generally agree that the fatal results of tho President's wound is likely to change tho whole face of national politics and turn the Administration over to tho Stalwarts, with Uonkling as President de facto, A telegram dated July 5tu, clearly indie.to that Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield is not a lunatic. At II o'clock, a. m., July 5th, the condition of the President was favor¬ able. lie was resting quietly aud com¬ fortable. A telegram of (ho same date announ¬ ces that another insane possessed of a devil, claiming to be from King William cmnty Va., announcing that ho had been inspired by God to go to Washing¬ ton and kill Secretary Blaine. This Stalwart tool was at once arrested. l T p to 10 o’clock a. in., July (>th, tho condition of tho President continued to grow more favorable. • ---- *■ ■ -♦ - - .....— Gen.
