GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAILROADS. It will be remembered that during the ses sion of the national convention of state rail road commissioners, which assembled here re cently, a series of resolutions, appertaining to the question of government control of rail roads was offered for adoption and rejected. These resolutions provided for the appoint ment of a committee of five commissioners to report at a future national convention of railroad commissioners whether a general law for tlie regulation of railroad transporta tion can he so framed as to apply to the states, and if so, to report a draft of such a . law at said meeting. But, if the committee found after consultation and investigation that such a law could not be framed, then they were to report whether largest electric light in a light house in the world.

He had tlie sup- J ing transportation as between tlie states only, port of the people almost as soon lie was of I leaving to the several states tlie regulation of age. He was first elected mayor of New Or-1 rates upon railroads within their leans, and afterwards lie was speaker of tlie I boundaries not extending into other house, lieutenant-governor, president of the states. These resolutions were offered by Mr. constitutional convention and governor. His j. Fletcher Johnston, chairman of the railroad loss will be deeply mourned in all the south-1 commission of Kentucky, for a purpose, but tliat purpose was misunderstood, and the res olutions were rejected. It was his purpose to show liow, by putting in motion machinery analogous to our system, to place the reguia tion of railway transi>ortation between the states under government ^control, and thus obviate any objection that might be made on tlie score of state rights. Mr. Johnston hasj embodied liis plan in an interesting letter to Major Campbell Wallace, of tlie Georgia commission. This letter will be found printed elsewhere, and we commend it to the attention of our readers. The plan he suggests is simple as common sense can make it, and it is in no way obnoxious to tlie charge of centralization. He proposes that congress shall place the whole matter in the hands of a commission composed of the chairmen of state boards.and that from the decision of a com mission so in stituted, there shall he no appeal. Apart from the simple solution of government regulation, which Mr. Johnston???s programme embodies, it is highly suggestive. It gives a hint of how the states, instead of fearing the encroachments of the general government, may use that government to tlieir own advantage in all things by put ting in operation sympathetic machinery. There is no inter-state problem that cannot he reached and solved under our system hv means in thorough sympathy with that sys tem. west. GEORGIA CEREAL PRODUCTION An extra census bulletin shows the cereal production of each county in tlie United States???crop of 1879. In Georgia the leading corn-producing counties were Burke. 505,290 bushels; Gwinnett, 470,409 bushels; Washing ton, 411,499; bushels; Uobb, 406,730 bushels, and Floyd, 405,290. The product of the state was 23,202.018 bushels from 2,538,733 acres of land. Of oats Brooks produced 163,862 bushels; Thomas, 158,467; Wilkes, 133,277; Houston, I'M,261; Coweta, 106,331; Lowndes, 102.276. The product of the state was 5,548,743 bushels, and the acreage 612,788. The production of rye in the state was small, although well distributed, nearly even- county adding something to the crop. Union, contributed 9,132 bushels, Fannin 8,050, Ra bun 6,811, Towns 6,669, Washington 5,456 and Wilkinson 3.790. In tlie state 101,716 bushels were grown on 25,854 acres. The banner wheat county of the state in 1879 was Bartow. Her product was 131,935 bushels. Then come Gordon with 113,222 bushels; Cobh, 86,617 bushels; Coweta, 77,075; Carroll, 74,826: and Gwinnett 74,795. Tiie state produced 3.159,771 bnshels. The acreage was 475.684, showing an average yield of less than seven bushels an acre. THE IRISH CRISIS. The arrest of "the Irish leaders has thrown the Irish towns into a state that borders on revolution. Tiie Irishmen in England and in t liis country are also deeply moved. In Ireland itself mobs fill the streets of tlie larger towns, and collisions with thetroopsand police are fre quent nnd bloody. Let us hope that these out bursts of fun- arc the worst that the times have 11 store for a suffering people. Mr. Gladstone has plainly decided tliat tlie land league shall not he permitted openly at least to ren der the land act abortive and nugatory. After THE PRODUCTION OF CEREALS. Elsewhere in this morning's Constitution will be found a table showing tlie production of leading cereals in each county of the state in 1879. This table will he found useful, not only to people at home but to those who, living in other states, desire to understand the agricultural resources of different sections of Georgia. Tlie growth of cereals is steadily increasing in all the southern states. In some of the states the upward movement has been a rapid safer now than at any time rince he took the oath of office. No president ever had such a set of bull- works, so to speak, as those which have been 'pro vided in the election of your Uncle David Davis as chairman of the senate.

If Mr. Kammerlin???s attention is called to this, he will probably astonish the natives of Spain by dancing the carmagnole in a cut-a-way jacket. A young man of Boston had his knee knocked out of joint the other day by falling from a bicycle. We look to see the Virginia duel supercede bicycling as cheap and innocent amusement.'
