Tm valuation of taxable real estate
in New York city for 1881 ahowa an in
Crease over last year of $34,000,000,
and now aggregates $976,735,199. The
valuation of pcraonal property for pur-
posea of taxation ahowa an increase of
$8,000,000, and is now $209,212,899.
■ The increase in the tax levy over that
of last year is,..in round numbers,
$2,300,000. Despite this increase, pro
perty has to be taxed $2.67 per $100
against $2.53 levied last year, on ac-
count of increased appropriations for
the various depat tments.
The information comes from Chica
go that the scarcity of corn and pastur
age is so great in Illinoos that the farm
ers are selling off their stock at such a
rate that the railroads for the next two
months will be taxed to their utmost in
hauling stock to Ohicigo. The preva-
lont drought throughout the country is
undoubtedly a severe one, but, in view
of the gambling operations now going
on ic provisions, of which Chicago it
the centre, any reports coming from
that quarter of short crops must be
taken with several grains of allow
ance. .
Tbs reunion of the Society of the
Army-of the Cumberland in Chatta
nooga, September 21 and 22, promise!
to be an affair of more than ordinary
importance. There will he present a
large number of the most prominent
military men and ex-soldiers in the
Union, and many civil officers of the
General Government and States.' In
addition to sx-Fsderal and Federal
soldiers and officials, there will, it is
thenght, be the largest gathering or
cx-Confederate soldiers and leaders
assembled since the war to extend a
welcome on the famed battlefields.
The WaU Street News says : “It is
pretty certain that we shall have no
more than one-half of a corn crop. The
great corn belt has failed this year,
and farmers will do well if they have
enough - to feed their surplus stock.
The potato crop, too, is a failure.
Such roads as the Wabash, Illinois
Central, and Chicago and Alton, will
find, their freight traffic cut down
heavily. The inhabitants along the
lines will have little money to spend.
Merchants here who expect to be paid
for goods they have sold on timo to
traders in the West will find collec
tions difficult" _
It is stated, on apparently the best
authority, that Gen. John B. Gordon
is in tho field as a Gubernatorial aspi
rant It is stated on equally as good au
thority that 1 he will meet with strong
opposition. The changes on the
Brown-Colquitt and Gordon Senatorial
embroglio, will then be rung over
again with icnewed vim and energy.
Outside of all this, however, io onr
opinion there is a man in Georgia by
the name of Gartrell, who will give
him some trouble. Suppose Toombs,
to<v, should take a nation to want it.
He's a vigorous old sinner ysl. But
the deviltry ho did in getting np that
Constitutional Convention of 1877,
ought to satisfy Aim.
These is no appreciable break in
the long-continued drought which has
prevailed over a greater portion of tho
United States. From nearly evciy
quarter come reports of short crops,
suffering to cattle, and anticipated high
prices of produce. Now, more than
ever, we are reminded that a man ia
wholly dependent for his subsistence
upon “(he kindly fruits of the earth.'
When the resources of agriculture fall,
we are threatened with an impending
famine. It is likely that the dire re
sults of the drought have been exag
gerated. There never waa a season of
unusual dryness, or of uncommon
moisture, that was not made much of
by croakers and speculators. Never
theless, it cannot be denied that the
present dry spell is one of uncommon
discouragement. Even the City Fuks
show melancholy signs of its long pre
valence, end the unvarying reports of
drought which come in from every
part of the country convince us that
the summer of 1881 is one which .will
be long remembered as a season of dis-
- ' l—N. T. Timet.
“Unjast Discrimination hr Railroad
Companies.”
Seteral weeks ago the Nawa and ‘
Advertise!! published a short aeries of j
articles on the subject of “Railroad
Legislation,’’ suggested by a paper ad
dressed to the Governor by the Rail
road Commission, recommending cer
tain topics of legislation to tho General
Assembly, anfi In which waa embodied
a Urge increase of their official power
and authority. * In these brief articles
we endeavored to show that tho pow
ers asked for by the Commission were
unreasonable and exhorbitant, and
their exercise would inevitably be fol
lowed by results disastrous to the best
interests of the roads and the people.
Nothing that wa have seen since io the
columns of the State press, and io the
discussion which f undry railroad meav
ures ir..rodticcd in the General Assem
bly, his elicited, has'changod the views
we then entertained aud expressed on
the subject.
An article which we find in the
Scmter Republican of the 14th inst.,
under the above heading, claims atten
tion, aa showing how tar reason and|jaa-
ticc can be controlled by self interest,
and pride of place, and the rights of
other persons and localities, totally ig
nored.
In. the article of onr contemporary,
it is distinctly asserted, that Albany,
notwithstanding the fact that she has
three .independent competing lines to
Savannah,of different lengths, has no
right to a lower rate on cotton ;over
the Central than Americas, which has
only one line, and, therefore, no com-
petition.&That is to say, that the peo
ple of Albany, and its tributary coun
ties atound, who have expended hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in build
ing up these roads, and developing
tins competition, shall reap no.benefit
from it when secured, and every at
tempt to do so, shall bo thwarted by
the autocratic edict of a Commission,
lest Americus, which has expended
neither money nor enterprise in this
direction, be possibly injured there
by.
The - statement of the proposition ia
sufficient to demonstrate its absurdity
and injustice to any impartial mind. If
Albaoy. had but one road, she would
still have a navigable river to compete
with this road, and so by reason of her
geographical position alone, would
fairly be entitled to a lower rate than
Americas. If there be any distinction
between this natural advantage enjoy
ed by Albany, and that created by
competing lines, built by the money
and energy of her citizens, we fail to
see it .
One of the main reasons, if we re-,
member, for the creation of the present
Railroad Commission, was to prevent
the roads from pooling, and thereby
diminishing fair competition. Now, a
most inconsistant pressure is brought
to bear upon the General Assembly to
enact a law, like tho Guerry hill or its
recent substitute now pending, which
will effectually prevent all healthy and
legitimate competition, merely because
some few places in Georgia, which en
joy tho favorable conditions nbovo
noted, may got a possible advantage
over other places not so favorably lo
cated.
As well might Americus ssy to Macon,
it is true you have 20 merchants to our
one, and 20 times as much competition,
but you must not presume to sell goods
lower than we do, because if you do, it
will tend to carry trsdo sway from ns
to you, and if yon do attempt it, we
will invoke the strong arm of the law
to previ nt it It has long passed into
an axiom, that competition is the life
of trade, and all laws passed in re
straint j.of competition are mis
chievous in their tendency and effects,
and every community is legally enti
tled to all the benefits of the competi
tion . their capital and enterprise have
developed.
Bui, suppose the Guerry bill or its
substitute is passed, and the' Central
Railroad thereby prevented from charg
ing leas on cotton from Albany to Sa
vannah than from Americus, how
would this remedy the evil of which
Americua complains? The Albary
shipper ia not dependent upon the
Central Road alone, but he has the S,
F. & W, Road, whicli now gives a rate
on cotton under the tariff fixed by the
Commission of 52 cents per 100 jjonnds
to Savannah. The Ameriena shipper,
we believe, psye at the rate of 60 cents
per 100 over the Central to Savannah,
end even if the Central is prohibited
from giving Albany a lower rate than
Americus, Albany "will continue to
have a lower rate- still, beyond the
power of even the Commission to affect
uuder the very terms tof the Guerry
bill, and lbs injury to Americus will he
just the same or greater. The only
effect bf the Guerry bill would be to
prevent the shipment of any cotton
over the Central from Albany, hut
eould not benefit Americas, because
Albany has two more shorter lines than
she has to.Savannah, namely, the S’, F.
St W. and the B. Se A. Roads,
o -We are unwilling to believe that in
telligent and Cur-minded citizens of
Americas are actuated by no higher
motif o in this matter, than a desire to
prevent the shipment of any cotton
over the Central from Albany, aa each
a policy would ho both suicidal and
unworthy of bcr. Senator Gnerry
may get b’la inspiration lrom home, but
are believe be has constituents there
numerous enough and fair-minded
enough to take a (aim and dispassion
ate view of the situation, and to recog
nize prevailing conditions, that it is ss
mneh lbs right of certain localities to
enjoy the advantages of, as they are
beyond the power of even Legislatures
and Railroad Commissions to injurious
ly affect.
Tha Illinois decision quoted by our
Americus. contemporary is not a case
in point While it might have the ap
pearance of unjust discrimination to the
learned Judge in Illinois for a road in
that State to charge a higher rate on a
it of produce for a lesser dis-
than a greater, even from com
peting points, the cases differ, in that
Albany has not merely three distinct
of them
are ranch shorter competing lines than j
tbs Central. Added to this that Al
bany is the terminal point for each of
these competing line-, two important
facts that do not appear in the decis
ion •‘granted.”and to have formed an el
ement in the judgment rendered. As
to the farther statement that the decis-
ton was rendered under a Railroad
Commission law, similar in spirit to onr
own, we have only our contemporary's
word for that No point! of resem
blance between the law under which
the Illinois division was rendered and'
onr own was given or offered, and the
same must he rejected ss authority un
til these necessary foundations are
laid.
To conclude. Will our contempo
rary tell us what ia unjust discrimina
tion, about which so much has been
arid ? The only instance he if pears to
have at hand, is that of a freight |
charge, a trifle leas for a competing
point at a greater distance, than for a
way station at • smaller distance, lrom
the destination of the freight, between
Albany and Americua, for instance.
And viewed in tha abstract, it may
look so. But may there not bo a dis
crimination, equally unjust and op
pressive, against a read and its stock
holders, when they an debarred from
■he profits arising from the cairying of
freights from a competing point by a
law that forbid* them to lower their
rates, so as to be on terms of equality
with its - ahorler rivals? From Alba-[
ny to Savannah, by the Cen'ral Root,
is 302 miles; by the S. F. A W. the
distance is 256 miles, and by the B. A
A. it is 206 miles. The Central, so far
as we know, only claims the privilege
of reducing its rates at Albany to
those fixed by lhe a Cotnmission for the
two shorter competing lines. Would
it not be an unjust discrimination
againtt Ibis road not to allow it to do
so •? Would it uot, in like manner, be
a grossly unjust inatance of discrimina
tion against Albany, in favor of Amer
icus, to debar her, arbitrarily, from tha
advantages that her three competing
lines give her over Ameriena, which
bss only one? If the Legislature
will not allow the roods to discrimi
nate against Americas, they should not
force the roads to discriminate against
Albany.
Our Law Maker*.
The statement made by the Atlanta
earrespoadent of the Columbus En
quirer-Sun, published on to-day's out
side, of the prevalence of stock gamb.
ling and speculation in Atlanta among
tha members of the General Assembly,
is somewhat of a startling expose for
many of their rural constituents to
think over. Tbs recent sudden failure
of J. F. Camming A Son’s, bucket shop
in that city, no doubt brought to light
a goodly number of shorn lambs in the
body, who bad heavily discounted their
per diem in putting up margins.
If this be true* aud it stands to both
reason and experience that it is true, it
presents a stats of affairs not pleasant
to contemplate. To nay nothing of the
more than doubtful morality of the
thiug, it is certain that law-makers,
whose attention ia oontinually detract
ed by the fluctuations of an excited
market, are in a poor condition to leg
islate intelligently. The interests of
the State are bound to suffer when they
come in conflict with their own private
interests in any risky monetary venture,
or shaky investment.
It was strongly urged against Atlan
ta daring the agitation of the Capi
tol question several years ago, that the
temptations and enticements of that
rapid city would bo more than the
average Georgia Legislator would be
able to withstand. Some few inklings
betraying an exceedingly lax state of
morals and of conduct among some of
the people’s representatives at the
Capitol have been given out by the
press of that city of late, and we have
no doubt that much more ia suppressed
than is discloted. It ia not to the inter
e*t of Atianb.,for its papers to hold up
their city as an immoral place, and to
descant on the many temptations and
trials by whieh the unfledged rural
representative is continually beset so
far from home. Bat every visitor to
the Capitol knows that the traps and
temptations are always conveniently at
hand! and are seldom resisted by the
unwary novice. It is true that Atlan
ta has of late years made several credi
table and strenuous efforts to suppress
the increase and spread of these malign
influences in her midst Bat ths pres
ence of the General Assembly, like the
carcass' around which the eagles gath
er, is sore to bring to the city hordes of
adventurers of every known species
and variety on earth, from the profes
sional lobbyist to the bunko man, all
bent on appropriating the per diem and
other perquisites of our incautious and
guildten statesmen.
The President.

Cotton Seed Oil Butter.
Every day, says the Montgomery
Advertiser, something new under the
sun is seen. Here now is a first rate
batter, so said, manufactured from cot
ton need oil. Are there no limits to
the possibilities of king cotton? He
makes our clothes, feads.our impover
ished lands, fattens oor cattle, lubri
cates the wheels of commerce and does
other blessed things. And now he pro
poses to put oo our tables a first-class
article of artificial butter, u sweet and
palatable as any the firkins of tha blue
grass dairies afford. A Crescent City
contemporary tells that two gentlemen
of that city, after having experimented
for mouths, have finally succeeded in
finding a method of making a tip top
article of hotter from the oil of cotton
seed. A sample thereof has been test
ed—that is, tasted—by a number of
Crescent City experts, and they arc
boundless in their cncoaiums upon the
“brand new” butter.
Besides having tits flavor of the
finest article of genuine dairy produc
tions, it also has “a most exquisite
yellow tint, equal to that of the finest
New York butters." Oleomargarine,
and all other butterine counterfeits
are, it is claimed, effectually laid in
the shade by this new and delightful
t king cotton.
And it must be admitted that ths late
bulletins fiotn Long Branch, since the j
President was removed there, and since {
ha dismissed three of his physiaian<>, i
have not beettasreaasuringon the whole i
as the above action inclined a great |
many to hope and believe wouldfollow.
We find, it ia true, in all onr daily ex
changes the nsoal string of Blissful
dispelches which tend to raise and ele
vate the hopes of every one as reads-
along down the column, until be comes
at the close upon a sockdolager lrom
Blaine to Lowell, which invariably
fixes it. If we mi-s the “flow of laud-
sb'.e pu«,” and - tho “sweet” sleeps of
the doctors io Secretary Blaine's dis
patches. we at lea-t feel that we hare
always a more accurate and reliable
statement'of the I’residenfs'lrue condi
tion.
Tile following is the latest of the
bulletins that has reached us up to the
hour of going to press:
Loza Branch, September 14 —The
fqllowing cablegram was sent to-night:
“7*o Lowell, Minister, London :
There has been no material change in
the President's condition daring the
lest twenty-four hours. He was mov
ed at his own request this forenoon
from his bed to an extension chair, in
which he remained for half an hour,
and he has been les. inclined to drow-
sinesa during the day than Usual. The
weather in now very favorable, and the
physicians think they discover signs of
a slight improvement in his symptoms.
They expect him to pass a reryjeom-
fortable night.

The Constitn.i”” of Georgia says:
•‘Lobbying is <1 Yl»--*1 to be a crime,
and the fleucral .w,-iubly shall en
force this pro> - -.on by saitable pen
alties.'' This is mandatory. No discre
tion seems to be allowed in the matter.
It is impossibly to tell what is, and
wbat is not, law in Georgia. J udges
are often in doubt on the subjecL So.
we will cot assert that this mandate of
the Constitution has been obeyed. Our
impressioD is tkst there is a law fixing
a penalty for lobbying. If there is such
a law, we should like to know whose
business it ia tu take cognisance of its
existence, and prosecute those who vio
late ic The Legislature evidently does
not feel called upon to take any steps to
secure its enforcement. Indeed, the
Legislature does not seem to care to do
anything more than cun tribute an inop
erative statute to the demands of the
Constitution. The statute ia simply an
addition to tho rnhbtsh of defunct codes
—a sort of ornamental bracket in the
mausoleum of statutory mummydom.
The Legislature treats the law with con-
tempt. Now, if a miserable lobbyist
were to offer an honorable member a
money consideration, to induce said
member to vote yea or nay, as the case
might be, on a particular measure,
there would be a time of high indigna
tion. There would be an investigation
regardless of cost. The most penu
rious members would bo bold, even to
the point of voting hundreds of dollars
for the purpose of vindication. And
the wicked lobbyist would be hustled
sadly. But there are lobbyist thata do
not wound the sensibilities of honorable
members by offering to buy their votes.
There are lobbyists who are too cun-
uitig offence to thusexposo their waist
bands to the sword thrusts of indig.
nsnt law-givers. There is tho buttou-
hole brigade—as impecunious ss Wal
ter the Penniless, and ss Importunate
as Peter tho Hermit They bang
around the saloons and hotels and lob
bies of the Capitol like witd asses
around the oases of the desert. They
■re often invited to scats on the floor by
glowing and appreeciative membeis.
But while legislators look with pride
upon these worlbits, aud point them
put with feeliogs of admiration, aa their
constituents, they could possibly make
op a trembling record in their absence.
Bat so it is, the bulton-holere go with
out leave or license, and lobby without
let or hindrance. The law goes for al-

41 TTio^boarding houses of the city
have begun to see matters different
from what they did a conple of weeks

tariff arranged on a basis of $3 per

throughout the length and breadth of

to bring the figures down to a uniform
schedule of $2 per day. which is con
sidered reasonable and remunerati-e.
At that price good accommodations
ought to be supplied in abundance and
