Dentso the session ot the
Prats Association at Borne, ono of tbo
features of the day was a procession of
colored draymen, carrying on their ve
hicles articles representing the various
branches of badness in that city.
The moat remarkable tun ever made
on an American railroad was that from
Detroit to Victoria, a diatance of 229
miles in 235 minutes running time. It
was a special train with the Vander
bilt private car carrying a party of
railroad magnates.
The Savannah Meuss says that nine
teen hundred and sixty-six boxes and
474 barrels of vegetables, 2 refrigera
tor! 9C strawberries, 79 turtles, and 3
barrels of tempins constituted part of
the £eight of the City of Auguste, tor
Now Yoik, Saturday.
Tub electric light has taken another
bulge. The City of Bichmond used it
in her late trip from Liverpool to New
York, and it proved highly succoaaful.
The Savannah Mews says that tho In
man line will adopt it for all ita ves
sels, and that it will probably be used
by other trans-Atlantic steamship
lines.
Tbs President ssid to the Senate the
ottaor day that he recognized fully the
Senate's constitutional right to ro|ect
every nomination hn makes, and if the
Senators should reject every one for
reasons which seemed sufficient to
them, he would not complain. But he
did object to the dilly-dally policy by
which nominations of great importance
were hung up and neither confirmed
nor rejected. That is where the whole
country agrees with him.
The writer returned from tho Press
Recursion to Nashville, Tenn., not
until yesterday afternoon, too late for
relating this morning the pleasant
items of tho visit. Suffice it to say,
Nashville is a great city, is on a gener-
al boom, and tho half million dollar
fire, which we witnessed there on
Tnesdsy, retards the progress of the
“Bock City” only for a brief moment.
Nashville shall receivo our attention at
length in another inane.
A Wasbixotox special to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer says, that although
tho friends of Vm. E. Chandler'for
the past weak nave been exceedingly
active, it is not at all probable he will
bo confirmed as So'.icitor-Gonaral of
tho United States. So far it can not be
ascertained that a single Democrat will
vote for him, and it is known that four
Republicans. at least, will vote against
him. This kills him datd for a ducat
Chandler has boon urged by his friends
to have tho President withdraw hia
name. This he will not consent to, as
he labors under the impression that he
may slip threngh.
Hrarer Uha.T says in a telegram
from New York that President Wadley,
or the Central Bailroad, is there and is
said to bo arranging to divide the Ocean
Steamship Company’s stock, about #4,-
000,000, to the Central stockholders.
This will he 60 per cent stock divides.
A difficulty is said to he found in the
toms of the lease of the Southwestern
Bailroad, which provides that when
ever tho Central Bailroad.divides il
stock, the aceamnlation or Wets to its
own stockholdera.it shall divide the
game to the Southwestern stockholders
in Ihe proportion of 8 to 10. This
makes shoot twelve million dollars in
stead of seven million dollaraio divide
the Ocean Steamship sYock' Jwtween.
If this difficulty can be evaded, tho
stock dividend is ssid to be sore.

CONKLING GETS A SLACK EEE
ALL ABOUND.
In ono respect it reminds us of tho
stories in tho New York ■ Ledger,
wnich end abruptly by the statement.
"to be con tinned in onrnext,” bnt here
the analogy ends, for, nnliko the stories
referred to, it does not inspire the
reader with any great desire for tbo
conclusion.
In oar issue of the Ist insL we took
occasion to express our surprise at tho
character of the so-called report, so far
as it then went, but were inclined to
suspend oar judgment upon Us merits
and await its completion.
We suppose, for tho same reason,
tho press of Georgia have withheld
any comments upon it, and, like ns,
have been expecting a repoit from the
Commissioners of their official acts,
with each recommendations for addi
tional legislation as their official ex
perience might have suggested. It
seems to os that we haTe waited long
enough, fir chapter 2nd of thii remark
able document, U still further removed
than the 1st from anything and every-
hing that shonldhave beep contained in
a report of this character. Section 14
of the railroad law of Georgia reads as
follows:
"That it shall be the duty of the
Couimiiitonen herein provided for, to
make the Governor semi-annual reports
of the transactions of their office, and to
recommend from time to time such leg
islation as they may deem advisable
under the provisions of this act”
This lection is easily understood,
and clearly defines the object, charac
ter and scope of the semi-annual re
ports provided for, and tho public had
the right to expect that the Commis
sioners, in the performance of this
duty, wonld haro complied with tho
law.
Instead of the Commissioners givinj
us the "transactions of their office” and
recomme-ding any additional legisla
tion, chapter 1st is devotSd to a learn
ed discussion of the constitutional
features of tho present Rail Road Law
of Georgia and an elaborate disquisi
tion npon the great question of trans
portation from tho days of Adam down
to the present.
Instead of showing - wherein the
present law was, defective or needed
amendment—if such was in their opin
ion the case—they make a labored ar
gument to satisfy tho Legislature that
they had the constitutional right to
pass the law. In other words, the
creatures are devoting columns of a
newspaper to satisfy their creators that
they not only had the right, but ought
to have created them.
As a matter of history, it may be in
teresting for the public to know that
Ihe father of one of tho Commissioners
traveled on horseback from Savannah
to Now York, or the* the grand father
of another Commissioner carried a load
of cotton to Philadelphia, all tho way
in a wagon, and brongnt back a load of
goods; but yet we aearely expected to
find this information in a public report
to tho Governor of Georgia, made
under the present law.
The constitutional argument may
have been good and proper before the
convention that made onr last constitu
tion, or before tho Legislature that
passed tho law carrying the constitu
tional provisions into effect, bnt wa
submit that it is a waste of time and
learning to discuss these subjects now.
Wo are prepared to admit thatwver
since the reign of William and Mary
that it has been conceded that eomr
mon carriers were subject to legisla
tive enactment and control; that tbo
right of “eminent domain” remains in
the State, and can be exercised' where
it does not infringe npon vested rights.
These are admitted propositions; bat
what the public desires and expects
from onr Railroad Commissioner* is to
show ns the practical effect of the pres
ent railroad law and Its effects npon the
material interests of (be State.
It will be remembered that the Com
missions*! in their fli at report alluded
in no uncertain terms to tho large pow
ers vrth which tho Commission
clothed, and referred to it as “thumb
screws tightening with tha grasp, mak
ing litigation to test questions danger,
ons.” In the first report th^ipeak of
their powers and authority as si plain
and comprehensive as to make tin
shrink from the exercise of them, and
yet, in this their, next semi-annual re
port, they characterise the Commis
sionasan advisory boaid, and that they
have no authority to enforce their de
cisions, and speak of their decisions in
fact at having no force nntil passed
npon by some court. l
ter to bare given tbo people the facta
(if they hare discovered any)to war
rant such statements, and the remedies
they proposed for such evils.
The spirit and letter of the present
railroad Uw of Georgia is, as we un
derstand and construe it, perfect fair-
end justice both to railroads and
the people and if it cannot be so ad
ministered the sooner it is repealed tho
better. However largo or undoubted
our legislative power may be, we can
not afford to do injustice to any interest
in Georgia by its exercise. *

Why, we would salt, has this "change
come over the spirit cf their dream V
Is it because wbat th>y regarded
large and dangerpu3 power at first be
come by familiarity with it and its ex
ercise a small matter? Other reasons
for this remarkable change in their
views as to the law under which they
hold office might be aligned, and
wonld naturally occur, bnt we might
do injustice to them by referring to
them, which wc do not desire to
do. . ' ‘"i.
It may be true, as stated in chipier.l
2d of this remarkable document, that;
officers and directors of railroads are
often unscrupulous an i selfish, disre
garding the interests of stockholders to
subserve their own, and by mean3 "of
proxies, vote in and cut whom they
please, and yet, we must express our
surprise, and dissent as a matter of
taste from these statements appearing
in such a report as this. Tho vis*r wa
take of it is, that it is not within tha
by Conk-
A Point that May be
ling. '
It sterna possible that Conk ting may
try to bring about the impeachment of
Garfield. A Washington
special of Wednesday says that “atten
tion is being' called to the question
whether or not the President has vio
lated the tenure of office act in with
drawing the New York nominations
and not sending in at the same time
other names. Tha law requires the
President, ia case of vacancies, or in
eases where offices are being tempo
rarily filled by appointment, to send in
nominations to the Senate within thirty
days after the next session of Congress
shall begin. Mr. Edmunds and some
of the other lawyers Of die Senate hold
that, as the President did not send in
other names at the time he withdrew
the nominations, these nominations are
really still the property of the Senate.
Tha President, whan hia attention was
called to this, took some time for con
cretion, and at length said that the law
dearly meant that the nomination
should he m within thirty.days after
tha next session of Congress, which
doe*' not occur nntil next December.
If there is a point in this, it la certain
that Mr.,Conkling intends to make the
mostof it if tho President baa violated
the tenure of office act by withdrawing
names, and for the purpose of coercing
the Senate to take up and act npon tho
nomination of Robertson. It is now
being said' that for something of this
sort Andrew Jackson was impeached.

Thu communication was received
with great sensation, which was
the Solicitor-General and asked him
what his interpretation of the law was.
His answer 1s reported to have been

Tho Emigration From Uermany.
A member of the German Reichstag
is accredited with having said, quite re
cently, that “the'German people have
now ot.ly ono want, and that is for
money enough to get to America.”
The authorities oi that country, and
even the rulers, are said to be perfectly
bewildered at the oxtraordinvy wd un
precedented emigration. As an in
stance of the tidal wave of people leav
ing that country to seek America, an
immigration agent wlio was sent to Ger
many in tha interest of the State of
Missouri, writes bank that the number
of emigrants which left tha single port
of Hamburg daring the first three
months of the present year was 24,441,
against 7,70T daring tho same period
In 1880.' He farther states that every
steamer which Is to leave Hamburg for
the next five months is contracted for,
and the steamship companies are not
able.to procure vessels enough to ac-
tha demand of cmigrtnt
to America. The censes of this
state of affairs are easily understood.
Tho burthens of government have

The Macon and Brunswick and Geor
gia Western RsUroads.
An Atlanta'correspondent of the Co
lumbus Enquirer says: "I under
stand that the purchasers of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad were frighten
ed into taking some definite steps in
regard to building the extension to At
lanta, as Governor Colquitt had deter
mined to call on them officially to
learn why tho contract bad not been
complied with. However, yon notice
that nothing has been done, except to
advertise for bids, and I apprehend the
getter will ga no farther until the
Governor or oar Legislature docs
something in the premises. The ppr-
chasori.havu had *11 reasonable time,
and they should bo compelled to build
the extension.”
The same writer says: “Unless some
New York capitalists drop ont or line
General Gordon will give Atlanta the
Georgia western. I think there is lit
tle doubt S3 to the early building of
this line. Generei'Gonlon bas already
made a handsome amount out of bis
coal mines by a recent sale, and if he
succeeds in constructing the Georgia
Western tho etbanced value of his
lands along the lines of road will
make him an exceedingly rich man.’’
The country Is growing with giant
paces. It is building railroads, bnt
never was so able to so. The roads
that brought on tha last panic are now
paying lines. Tho New York Com-
meieial Advertiser shows that for ten
years Ipast railroad freight rates bars
been steadily going down, and the "ail-
roads bsTe contributed more than any
thing elsr to the glory and wealth and
importance of the country. They have
made the country what it is, snd there
is no dangsr to it in them. We ara

A bom of astoniahmant followed the

that this would be a good time to eleci
officers of tbe Senate.
WBAT IS SAID or TBE RESIGNATION OF
SUB SEW TOSS SENATORS IN
WAS-UNOTuX.
WAsantaToN, May 10.—Tbo Star
this evening says.* “when the news ol
the resignation ot Senators Cockling
snd piatt reached the Treasury depait
ment to-day great excitement ensued,
snd tbe officials and subordinates alike
were soon gathered iu groups through
out tho building, discussing the situa
tion and its probable effect. That tbe
Senators who resigned arc quite confi
dent of being returned by the New
Y»ri( legislature Is very generally ac
cepted, but in tba same quarters it is
maintained that on account of the Leg
islature having heretofore endorsed
tbe nomination of Robertson to be col
lector of tbe port of New York, it can
not consistently indorse the action
of tbe two Senators in opposing it
This coarse, however, it is conceded
by prominent Republicans, can easily
be brought rboqL
President Garfield was apprised of
the contemplated resignation this mor
ning. and remarked to a treasury official
shortly before 13 o'clock tbit he ex
pected tbe news to arriva momentarily.
Tbo resignations of the two Senators
are topics of conversation at tho hotels
and other public places, and gronps of
men may be seen on the street corners
discussing the affair in an excited man
ner.
Tha Star also publishes the follow
ing newn of the Senators concerning
the Senate sensation. One Republican
Senator said: “Thty’U both tm re elect
ed by the New York Legislature.'’
Another said that while “he had not
been informed of this step, bis opinion
was that it was simply an appeal to the
New York Legislature, now in session,
by Conkling and Platt for an indorse
ment of tbe position they had taken on
tho Robertson nomination.
Some of the Republican Senators
said they were too much surprised to
express sny opinion on tbe subject
Tbe Democratic Senators were delight
ed at the action of the New York Sena
tors. They made no effort to conceal
their gratification. Some of them said
it wonld widen the breach in the Re
publican party. Tha rumors of a re
organisation of tho oommittees were
pronounced groundless and absurd by
tbe Democrats. Their leaders state
that nothing of the kind will be thought
ol 1 ; that the; will not sttsinpt to call
np the resolution to elect Senate offi
cers for the purpose of laying on the
table; that they will not do anything
with it unless the Republicans should
bring it np. This, it ctn be anthorita-
lively stated, the Republicans will not
4o.
The almost universal opinion, as for
as expressed, was that Conkling and
Platt will go before tho Legislature for
re-election; that they will regard their
re-election as a rebuke to the adminis
tration as well as an approval or the
coano they have taken. Some of the
Democrats spoke of this action
“clap-trap,’’ saying that Conkling and
Platt know in adrance precisely how
the LegUleture stands, just how ai
rotes they can get, and that they are
no danger of losing their seats. Those
who are disposed to criticise to any ex
bnld that 1 tha “in iorrement” of
Conkling and Platt will not count
much, bccaute they sre assured of the
result; that if they would wait and go
