Report of the Railroad Commission. The Railroad Commission haa laid a semi-annual report upon the desks oi the members of tho Legislature. It is intended to counteract any attempt to modify the law under which the com mission at present acta. The report says: Much dissatisfaction has been eiprcescd by the railroad companlee ol the State in refer ence to the powers conferred upon the com- mission by tbe act of 1870. An aUempt will be made at the approaching session of the General As-embly, we teem, te have the list ■o amended at to mike It more consistent with the views and wishes of tor railway cor poration*. Tn view of this wc deem It not Im proper to give expression to our optnlous upon this vary Important subject, through the medium of tbla report While this is true, the commission faile to tell the whole truth. There are thousands of men in Georgia who are not in any way interested or connected with railroad corporations who think the present law should bo modified. They do not desire to destroy the com- misaicn or to emasculate its powers, but to equalise its authority and ac tion. The commission makes a grave mistake when it rushes into print to defend its life and to display tbe unfair temper of • special pleader, and the ar guments and suggestions of the dema gogue. The question involved is far above State politics, and should be met in the spirit of a chancellor disposed to deal out equity, rather than that of a court attempting to bold and defend its jurisdiction. The commission is capa ble oi doing a great good if it will ex hibit a judicial temper, andean con ceive the idea that it is not a criminal arraigned at the bar, and being prose cuted by the railroad corporations. A great change haa come over tho people of Georgia since the formation of the commission, and a very large portion of them desire that the arbitrary powers granted to it shall be to some extent modified. They do not believe the commission infallible, and in contests that have been made before the courts, the Legislature and the people, its temper has not always been exhibited to advantage. The fact stands that the com mission oppressed the Savan nah, Florida and Western rail way for many months, and caused the company to lose money by the imposi tion of unjust rates. In the midst of a legislative inquiry the commis sion itself admitted this, and promised to remedy the wrong. But how could the railway recover the money lost or the damage be repaired? It waa claimed that the Central road lost forty thousand dollars upon the freights of commercial fertilizers alone, by reason of the unfair and unjuat rates of the commission. Yet neither the commission or the State pays back this money wrongfully taken from the stockholders and owners of the road. It is well known that upon some, it not all the roads in the State, employes are compelled to do double duty, and in many cases are receiving one-half the pay that should he given them for the service rendered. The people are not unmindful of these things. The re sult lias been that a legislative committee waa raised to inquire into and to report upon the matter, The commission seems desirous of dis counting that report. If the power of the commission bears unequally upon the railroads of this State it should be modified. This Legislature may not have the wisdom and courage to do its duty, but there are other Legislature! to follow, and if a wrong exist* it will be righted In time. This is a fact that the commission may just os well recog nise sooner at later. The (uluro cannot possibly hold for Georgia or any other State the miser able politics with which she haa suffer ed for years. The people of Georgia are not leas just, enlightened, or intelligent than those of Tennessee, Alabama, Missis sippi and South Carolina. Yet in all of the States mentioned, a check has been placed upon the growing power and demands of railroad commissions, The railroads in Georgia may be in the condition Msumed bv the Railroad Commiaaion. The men who manage them, who do the herculean labor to watch and control the Intricate details of their business, differ from the com mission. If the roads in Georgia are in inch fine condition, it is strange that other roads in the country have been sub jected to such disasters. A late report stye: The present rear has foreclosed fifteen cor porations with twelve hundred miles ot rail road and neatly one hundred millions of stock and bond*, and thirty odd other computes with over six theusud miles ot rstitoad and nenrly four hundred millions of securities, art In tha hudi of receiver*. The people of Georgia do not desire to incarcerate Governor Smith, Major Wallace and Colonel Trammell. They have no idea of mulcting them in dam age*. They are willing that these gentlemen shall continue to devote ■ small portion of their time to looking after railroad rates, lmt they desire that the Legislature of the State ihalldo justice to the men interested in millions worth of important property, and to the other thousands of men, women and children whose daily support it depen dent upon the success of the* enter prises. beria, many fail and become diacour- aged. Editor Fortune thinks "the poor colored people" should go to Mexico. Many ot them will do eo pro- ided Editor Fortune and others of tho well-to-do colored people will become the pioneers of the movement. Fred. IKuiglaa, who is more than half white, uns a white wife and is quite old, detiree the negro to bang on to the white man. He think* it the only safe tiling (or the negro. Bishop Turner on the contrary desires the negro to go to Africa, baild up a government aud reap the rich rewards tiiat labor and intelligence may give them. Editor Fortune desires aotno of them to go to Mexico, where land Is cheap and there are no social preju dices. The negro will not go anywhere of his own accord in any considerable force. There must lie something pow erful to attract him in front or an irre sistible force to move him from the in Boone, from 10 to 16; in Keokuk, from 20 to 37; in Lyons, from 39 to -11; in Davenport, from 130 to ISO; in Burlington, from 08 to 109; in Ottumwe, from 22 to 110; in Coumil Bluffs, from 50 to 75; in Cedar Rapids, from 40 to 50. The conclusion warranted by the answers to these in quiries is that in the country and in of tbe report Is tha greatness of tbe corn- many towns prohibition baa been suc cessful, but in larger towns the amount of liquor sold ia probably greater than before, and the number of arrests for drunkenness is not less. Municipal revenue, meanwhile, has been so les sened by the loss of license fees that ten cities have increased their tax levy and fifteen more have impending finan cial difficulty." The idea of moving the negro is al- always mot with suggestions as to the mpossibility of transportation. Ho will need no transportables beyond his legs to reach Mexico. There ia no moro wildness in the idea that he will evacu ate the Southern States, in time, titan there was in the proposition of Chief Justice Chase, just after tbe war, that tbe v bite people should be driven from the South, and the land turned over to the negroes. Editor Fortune is an intelligent ne gro. He lives in a community where there are other intelligent and wealthy negroes. He is' just tho man to start a Mexican emigration scheme, if he really believes what be says. The leaders of the negroes, black and white, have been misleading them tor ttiese twenty years and more. It is time that the right road was found. One tiling as regards the negro may be considered ns settled. Wlrenever it becomes the interest of the white race to make him get out of the way it will be done and done quickly. The weaker always goes down before tho stronger. The Indians were brave, self supporting, and had a language of their own. But the white man has driven the Indian away, and will in time doatroy him. The experiment of Liberia is not a suc cess. Tho same money and effort spent in Mexico might produce vastly different results. GeO'Sln Politics. Judge Loclirane has been a trifle dil atory in his semi-weekly interview as to the political situation, but haa let down his milk to a stripper of the New York Tribune. We quote him as follows : -I am just back from Geortla and a tour ol tba South. There Is no political question un der agitation tn Geortla ol any moment The people there are discussing the next governor- ship a little, bnt It la ol no earthlr moment to anybody hut th- candidates themselves who fill the office. There ie no particular crttl clem as to President Cleveland's course. The South U bound to be tall, fled whatever ho may do.

Thia is interesting so far as it goea, but it lacks tbe prescience of the amia ble and ubiquitous Judge. He ia alto gether suggestive. Perhaps the time haa not yet arrived for him to show Ida hand. Thera ia a very ill-concealcd hint that the "business side of relig ion" may bring forth another "Chris tian statesman as a candidate." The Judge is ominously silent as re gards tbe repudiated bond business. It may not be forgotten that the Steph ens campaign started out with the blessing of the Judge. GEORGIA RAILROAD COMMISSION. A» XFFOETTO FBEVEKT THE RESTBItTION Of IT* POWERS—A SUMMARY OP TBE VIEWS Of TBE COMMISSION, Teleobapb Bcsiao, 17J4 Psacbtbee BE., Atlanta, July 17,1885. The Georgia Railroad Commission sub mitted to the Legls'atnre this morning its eleventh semi-annas! report. The burden mission end the Insolence of rsllrosdi In Tn* Vl-sln'a Republicans. Heretofore Malione and his followers have fought as Readjusters. He him self has claimed to be a Democrat, while he acted with the Republican party, and was largely enabled to suc ceed by the aid given him by that party. This masquerading must now cease. Ti e contest in Virginia, no matter how it may he waged or may result, will hare the effect to mobilize Republican party in that State. The men who follow Malione in this campaign, may not be expected to re new their allegiance to the Democratic party again, in any considerable num bers. John S. Wise, just nominated for Governor, may be regarded as a Republican in full faith and fellowship. He is energetic and audacious, and while not inheriting much of his fath er’s ability, has all of his crankiness. He is young and ambitious, and will make a very close and thorough canvass of the State. Some people, even Vir ginians, consider the result as doubtful. The canvass maybe considered the initial move for a permanent division in Southern politics, and a disintegra tion of the Democratic party as now constituted. The eiectionof Mr. Cleve land and the enforcement of new poli cies, has had the effect to loosen the rigor of partv linee, and this will be moro or less felt throughout the entire South. The spectacle of respectable while Virginia Democrats-following Johnny Wise into the Republican camp, will not be lost upon ambitious and restless young men elsewhere. • Gen. Fitz-Hugh Lee should be able io defeat Johnny Wise, and it is con sidered as beyond question that he will be the nominee of the Democratic con vention. deiiring to have their powers curtailed. They enter into a lengthy and labored ar gument to ehow the value of the commis sion to the State, that under It railroad corporations have proipered, and nobody dissatisfied except the prople who own railroad property. However, the most prominent feature of the report, Indicating that the matter la resting lomewbat heavily on the minds of the commission, is the argument that the powers of tbe ;commluioo are, and ought 10 be ubsolnte, and It would be dangerous to permit tn tppetl from its dsclsiona. The following le the summary of the views of the commission aa set out in tbe report: 1. Tne constitution of tha State confers power aud authority to regulate freight and passenger tariffs and of preventing an- jast discrimination on the variont rail roads of this State upon the legislative de partment of tbe government alone. 2. Authority to exercise these powers cannot, tinder the oonetltutlou, be conferred by appeal or otherwise npOLfthe judiciary departments. 3. That in tbe very nature of judicial proceedings tbe courts could not so frame their judgments at thereby to discharge the duty of regulating freight end patten- eontempletrd elsewhere in the Sonth. This committee, after a most carehtl investiga tion. made an elsborate report to tbe Les- tsUtare, etrongly favoring the school This report and the subsequent effort to ptit the measure created a great deal of dlscruslon In Georgia and throughout the South. The report was basinets Tike docu ment, end contained accurate estimates of the cost of buildings, the necessary equip ments, etc., of such a school as was pro* posed by the bill. After the •djonrnment of the Hodse thlf morning, your correspondent sought out Mr. Harris and asked hfs views as to the Very Remnrknb'e Recover, Mh?h Y: WHIinn, of Me, remn*0| b ° ltl “ot^Hlec 1 " 1 ^1 ue'S®-' * "oK£» th8t -Wfi, *« Bitter * will do all • Hundred, of thelr curative poi fifty cents a bottle , t Lamu, ovi Rv:.i . ] present strength of the bill and the pro*- pacts of Its passage.

That any law conferring such power and authority upon the oonrts would, In eflect, be a delegation ol the power and authority entrusted to the Gefiernl Assem bly alone, and, in effect, would be an ap plication ot loch powers and autnority of the Legislators. 5. Tnat any each legislative act causing snch power and authority to be exercised by the railrosds themselves would be a renunciation by tbe legislature of powers and duties made by the constitution pecu- Hat to itself, and virtually would be a re fusal on the part of tbe General Assembly to carry into effect by appropriate legisla tion a provision of tbe tandamental law. 0.
