Ti.o Governor or No Clique—Hl* Hand* Tied by No IMedffen—“Economy” the Watchword of ills Adminis tration. From the Atlanta Constitution, 19th,] Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt, nfter a race almost unparalleled in its va ried phrases and its earnestness, goes into the little red cushioned room backed by a larger majority of votes than has been given to any man since Georgia bas become a State. Feeling that the publio would like to hear from this placid, decor ous statesman—this old fashioned Methodist gentleman—this genial iine-tibred man, who, despite his calm demeanor and habitude of ten derness, fought like a tiger when in battle, and in peace won the bright est honors of the State by a majority of 78,000 votes, a Constitution reporter dropped into his office on yesterday. We the found spacious room absolute ly infested with office-seekers. Hardly less than a hundred of expectant gentlemen were in sight or hearing. A good dozen surrounded the gener al, whose pleasant, happy face oeamed like a morning sun through the tangle of cloudy brows that surrounded it. Three or four dangled impatient legs in the ante-room and moodily re venged themselves by ignoring the spittoons when they spit. One patient seeker had curled himself up in the wash-room, and with his hand clutching the water-pipe and his fevered cheek resting against the ice cooler, glaring speculatively through his eye-glasses, at whatever peeped in upon his lair. A group were lying out on the grass plat, toasting them selves, like turtles in the suu. An other one had thrown himself on the sofa, and his tense brain relaxed with somniai juices, had dropped off to dreamland, where, if his wild smile and his triumphant snore meant anything, he was eating the glad fruit of victory. Beyond this, they were perched on chairs, on desks, and on tables, awaiting the time when they could confront the calm master of the hour, and put in their claims. We push through the crowd, and leading the new made Governor to an ash-barrel ("the only unoccupied seatj sat him upon it anu commenced our talk. WHAT GOVERNOR COLQUITT HAS TO SAY. “I am glad,” ho says, “to have the opportunity of expressing through your paper my gratitudo to the peo ple of Georgia for the high honor they have conferred upon me, and the pleasing unanimity with which it has been done. It shall be my earn est purpose to merit the good opin ion that my election evidences. I shall do my best to give the people a capable, prosi>erous and efficient ad ministration, reducing expenses at every possible point, and lowering the taxes that weigh upon the shoul ders of the overburdened people. Gov. Smith, when entering upon a term of office that succeeded a loose and corrupt one, announced that his watchword should be, ‘Honesty.’ Premising, of course, that wo shall perpetuate the honesty that lie has so rigorously insisted on in all de partments, I think the watchword of tiie coming ad ministration should be, ‘Economy.’ It shall be my aim to keep the expenditures to the very lowest point compatible with effi ciency and completeness in the pub lic work.” A GOVERNOR FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE. Alluding to the rumor spread by his opponents that he would, as a Governor, be unduly attentive to the affairs of the farmers, who were his especial friends in the campaign, he said, smilingly: “Why, I shall be the Governor for the whole people. I shall jealously guard the interests of the whole ■State, endeavoring to promote pros perity in every class of people when it can be done without injury to an other class. It is absurd to say, that I will use the powers of the office to whioh I have been elected for the ad vancement of the one class to the op pression of another. To hold as equally sacred the rights oi all classes is the only way in which the full in terests of the State can be advanced, ’ and my administration win the ap proval I am ambitious to have it de serve.” no friends to reward or. enemies to PUNISH. Touching the matter of appoint ments, the Governor said: “I can give you no idea of my ap pointments, for I have not yet deter mined who I shall appoint to half a dozen offices. I can say this, how ever: I went through the campaign without promising or even intimat ing to any man that I should appoint him to any office. I declined all offers that involved the idea of obli gation. I am. consequently, free to select for public positions only those men that I consider the best quali fied to fill them. In making up my list of appointments, I shall be guided solely by the question of fit ness. All applications for office are being filed, and I shall leisurely, dur ing the time preceding the inaugura tion, apply the test of fitness to the applicants and choo3o therefrom those who appear to me to best stand the test.” THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES, ETC, Governor Colquitt will be inaugu rated on Thursday, the 12th of Janu ary. The inaugural ball will take place on the Friday night following. The ball will, as usual, be a grand affair. The Governor will leave his modest farm-home on the 13th, and take up his residence in the mansion, where a cheerful and Sincere hospi tality will reign. \ Materialized Ifnle. I Scientific American.] Take a sheet of stiff writing paper ! and fold it into a tubo an inch in di ameter. Apply it to tiio right eye, and look steadfastly through it, fo cussing the eye on any convenient object; keep the left eve open. Now place the left hand, held palm up ward, edgeways against the side of the paper tube, and about an inch or two above its lower end. The aston ishing effect will be produced of a hole, apparently of the size of the cross section of the tube, made through the left hand. This is the hole iu which we propose to materi alize another and smaller hole. As we need a genuine aperture, and it would bo inconvenient to make one in the left hand, let a sheet of white paper be substituted therefor and similarly held. Just at the part of the paper whero the kolo equaling in diameter the oriffee of the tubo appears, make an opening one-fourth ! inch in diameter. Now stare intently i into the tube; and the second hole, delined by its difference of illumina tion, will be seen flouting in the lirst hole, and yet both will be transpar ent. The illusion, for of course it is ono of those odd pranks our bi nocular vision plays upon ns, is cer tainly one of the most curious over devised. Besides, here is the actual hole clearly visible, and yet there is no solid body to be seen to define its edges. It is not a mere spot of light, because, if a page of print bo regard ed, tho lines within the boundaries of the little hole will not coincide at all with those surrounding it and ex tending to tho edges of the large au parent aperture. Each eye obviously transmits an entirely different im pression to tho brain, and that organ, unable to disentangle them, lands us in the palpable absurdity of a mate rialized hole. A European Bank.—This is how Rev. Dr. Emerson, of the Universnliat, got his meney at Basle: Finding our purse getting low, wo take our letter of credit anu start for the bank. Now a bank in Europe is not a temple of granite on “Equita ble” proportions. Either ns a mat ter of safety or of economy, the bank is usually in an obscure passageway, hard to find and difficult to enter. Here in Basle we passed tho bank whilo hunting for it, several times; so unpretentious was it that we never paused to read the half-illegible let ters which are meant for the banker’s name. At last a policeman kindly shows us tiio door. We ring, anil slowly tiio door opens, and a woman receives us, closing the door behind us. Another passageway and two more doors, and we are in a dark, plain room, with just one chair. Through an open window wo see four young men scribbling as clerks are wont to do. We make known our want, and show Kidder & Teabody’s letter. Each of the four roads and approves; then a sort of janitor takes tho letter, not up a flight of stairs, but up a ladder! In ten minutes ho comes down and reports; our papers are made out; we sign, and expect tho gold. Not yet; the janjtor takes the papers up the ladder. In another ten minutes he returns and brings the gold wo have signed for. It took Half an hour and six men to get a few dollars in gold, and the commis sion was about ten cents.

Woman's Suffrage Convention. Philadelphia, October 18.—The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Woman’s Suffrage Convention was held at St. George’s Hotel to-day. Resolutions were passed favoring the objects of the Association, and declaring that while the Association rejoices in the fact that new avenues of profitable employment and better education had been opened to wo man, and that she has gained partial access to the professions of law, the ology and medicine, and that the Legislatures of many States now pro tect to a great extent the property and rights of married women, they protest against the injustice of with holding from one half of our citizens the power to exercise their right of suffrage. The resolutions also oppose taxation without representation. Gravel vs. Stf.am —The Central rail road very recently advanced freight on cotton from Jonesboro from 20 cents per 100 to 05 cents per 100. The inequality of the freight rate is seen by comparing the tariffs of other roads. Freight from Marietta—about the same distance —is 16 clints; from Conyers, 17 cents, and from Noreross about 18 to 20 cents. The enterprising merchants of Jones bnro, not taking kindly to the advance in rates, have started a wagon train which hauls their cotton to. Atlanta for a dollar a bale. Yesterday a number of wagons came in and a gentleman in this city had a telegram ssying that 150 bales of cotton hud left for Atlanta on wagons, The mer cyants load the wagons with goods back to Jonesboro, the railroad losing the freight both ways. It is estimated that the freight in this way lost to the railroad company been over S6OO in tee past three days since the tariff went in effect. —Atlanta Constitution. Fable, from the New York World: A Peasant who chanced to be walking near a lonely wood met a robber who asked him if he would like a drink. The peasant re plied that he usally about that time took a little .when the robber knocked him down, seized his purse, and giving him a sixpence therefrom, said. “Sirrah go drink health.” “This,” said the luckless rustic, “is robbery.” “No I have only assessed you for campaign purposes,” replied the daring thief. Moral. —The above has none but a great moral idea. COLUMBUS, GA., SATUKDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21, 1876. ATLANTA Ik WKST POINT RAILROAD. TROUP COUNTY AND THE TRADE OF CO - LaGranoe, Troup Cos., Ga., I Oot. 18, 1876. j Editor of Times:—We presumo all of your readers are interested in the railroads of Georgia, as to their suc cess. For the past few days wo have been riding on tho ATLANTA .4 WEST POINT RAILROAD, and we find it in a good condition for fast and safe running of tho passen ger and freight trains. Tho officers, conductors, section crows and other employees aro polite and attentive to tho traveling public. From tho an nual report made for tho year ending Juno 30, 1870, wo find— This company works a line from Atlanta, Ga., southwest of West Point, 87 miles, of which it owns 81 miles, tmd leases the use of the re maining six, from Atlanta to East Point, from tho Central Railroad Company of Georgia. The property is represented by tho following capital account: Stock ($15,212 per mile) $1,232.200 00 Bouds ($1,025 per mile) 83,000 00 Dividends unclaimed 850 00 Dae agents and connecting roods.. 8,012 28 Profit and loss 98,285 37 Total ($17,557 per mile) $1,422,147 85 Ttie earnings are aa follows: 1875-8 1874-5 Passengers, $99,211 50 $101,098 77 Freight 180,344 09 187,695 83 Mail and express 18,677 24 17,167 12 Miscellaneous 7,265 25 9.757 78 Total $283,498 98 $295,714 00 Working and general expenses 162,280 61 £172.012 94 Taxes 4.624 911 4l) Uetnal C, Ga.track,... 7,000 00) New rails over ordi nary wear 10,000 00 B,oj| 00 Total $183,905 42 Net earning 99,593 56 101,965 94 Per c. working exp.. 57.21 58,17 Per ct. all expenses 64 76 Cos 62 The profit and loss account for the year was as follows: Profit balance from previous year $91,456 Net earnings 99,693 Total $191,049 Interest account $6,510 Dividends, 7 percent, on stock 86,254 Balance at close of year $98,285 Being a gain of $G,829 during the year. The decrease in revenue from freight was mostly ou local cotton, the crop along the line having been poor. Tho crop in Alabama was good, but much of that which was properly tributary to this road \rtis diverted to competing linos. This season, so far, the freight has been much heavier thau last, owing perhaps to yellow fever of Savannah, which has turned the Alabama crop over this and other lines to New York. Tho suicidal policy of the Central Railroad,too,has caused ship pers to seek lower rates. With no discrimination against Columbus as to rates to New York, her trade would draw every bale of cotton from this section. Tho Troup county peo plo all desire to buy and sell of Co lumbus. They look forward with much anxiety to the completion of the North & South Railroad which would not only open up direct trade with Columbus, but give to them a competing line to other markets. With tho present railroad i facilities this trado goes to Atlanta aud helps rear her four, five and six story com mercial buildings. Of course this adds much to the local passenger travel over tho Atlanta & West Point Railroad. Add to this the through travel to tho Centennial over this route, all tending to swell the pas senger list, and the road may be put down as cno that pays on invest ments. “B.”’ A Matter of Etiquette. Washington, Oct. 20.— 1 t is found that court etiquette requires that the address from the Irish people to the President of the United States, which was to havo been presented to him by O’Connor Power and Mr. Parnell, shall reach the President through Sir Edward Thornton, British Min ister, and the State Department. There are somo phrases in the ad dress which make it awkward for Sir Edward and all concerned. It seems likely now that tho bearers of the address will carry it back with them. Dispatches from New York say the Irish citizens there are much dis turbed, and are anxiously awaiting a remedy. llolMtrrlng <;p flic Outrage on Mouth Carolina. Washington, October 20.— The Cab inet to-day heard a report of Marshal R. M. Wallace, of South Carolina, on affairs in that State, presented by Attorney General Taft. The report is mainly a recapitulation of repre sentations heretofore made by Gov. Chamberlain and Senator Patterson. No action was taken. The proceed ings seem to have had for their object the justification of Tuesday’s Cabinet action and Cameron’s order to Sher man, which resulted in massing the army of the United States, not en gaged in the Indian war, at Colum bia, S. C. Statue of Wltherepoos. Philadelphia, October 20.—The ceremony of unveiling the Wither spoon Monument was performed this a. m. on the Centennial Grounds, by D. D. Wood, Esq,, grandson of Dr. Witherspoon. He said: “Will you excuse me, sir ?” and the gentleman addressed excused him. He continued: “lam not in the habit of begging.” And the gentleman said he was “and and glad to hear it,” and walked off, “Ladies and gentlemen,” said an Irish manager to hi3 audience of three, “as there is nobody here, I’ll dismiss you ail; the performance of this night will not be performed, but will be repeated to-morrow evening. ” j THE TURKISH SITUATION. Plymouth, England, Oct. 2').—Or ders liavo been received nt Davons port Stock Yard to coinploto repairs on four turret steamships, each car rying four guns, and oue, tho iron clad, carrying twenty-eight guns. There gun vessels aro building bore, and two others in private yard3 are being prepared for commission. A Cabinet meeting was hold yes terday, with all tho ministers pres ent The Times says tho meeting was rendered necessary by the critical state of affairs in Europe, for tho ne gotiations, which have occupied the last twelve months aro virtually at an end, and war between Russia and Turkey is supposed to be unavoida ble. The cabinet did nothing which can justify prevailing fears of British par ticipation in the war. The Times' Paris correspondent says there is no doubt of accord be tween Russia, Germany and Austria. It can bo easily seen that England and Franco will not break neutrality; therefore Russia has only Turkey to fear. The Queen will hold a council next Monday. London, Oct. 20.—A dispatch to Reuter’s telegraph company from Constantinople says Gen. Iguatiff, Russian ambassador, will to-day pre sent his credentials to the Sultan. It is believed negotiations are about to reopen between the Porto and tho ambassadors of tho powors on the basis of the English propo sals. Tho Times’ special from Belgrado reports that it was rumored there Wednesday that 20,000 Russians had crossed the Prutch. The French, * Italian and Austrian consuls general wont to Orsora to ascertain whether tho report was true. No confirma tion has come, and it is probably false. London, Oct. 20.— Tho Cabinet de cided upon a policy of obstentation for the present at least. In this pol icy they have the support of the press and the people. This reasons from tho consideration of the chances of the peace of Europe aro of the ele ments which in Wednesday’s panic was certainly reckoned upon to dis turb it in case Russia crossed the Danube. Thero is nothing in this morning’s news to relieve tho uncertainty about Russia’s intentions. Tho London journals editorially seem inclined to abandon all hopes of the preservation of peace between Russia and Turkey. The Boston newspapers, on the contrary, express the opinion that all tho powers of Europe, including England, are equally interested in und responsible for Russia’s actions, in consequence of the failure of their Government efforts at Constantinople, and that it is unjust to suspect Russia of follow ing the dictates of self-interest. The French newspapers agree that Franco will do her best to maintain peace, but will not take an active part should the crisis end in war. Schell’s Gigantic Plan. A Sun reporter had the following in terview with Mr. Richard Sehell, of New York: Reporter —Have you any opinion to express on the relative merits of the can didates for the presidency? Mr. Schell.—l perfer not to enter in to personalities. They say all is fair in love and war. But I think those quasi friends wiio have been circulating a very accurate likeness of Mr. Tiiden though the country have been acting most unfair ly. Many men of large minds have had mean pettifogging faces. Neither Mira beau nor Robespierre were honest looking. My thoughts travel over small men to great principles and plans. Reporter —What are those plans, may I ask, Mr. Schell. Mr. Schell—l have frevuently given them to the world. My plan is simple. We have had a great war. In that we spent $0,000,000,000, and destroyed at least $0,000,000,000 of proyerty. The South, our great producing power, stands desolate to-day, and its desolation reacts on and reaches us. I propose as a rneas ura of relief —giant disease needs gint remedy—that tire government at once issue $500,000,000, of legal tender notes and makes them receivable for all private and public dues, including customs —the notes to bear no interest. These legal ten der notes should supersede all bank notes circulation, which should be retired, and hereafter when such notes are issued on a basis of United Stetes bonds should bear no interest while so deposited. Make the balance of circulation, $1,000,000,000, all legal tender, and in six months there would he no premium on gold and such an impetus would be given to busiuess though the country as now seems hope less. Reporter— How would you propose to distribute this $500,000,000 ? Mr. Schell—l would use $200,000,- 000 of it to pay the war debts of the Northern States. We are largely taxed now to pay bounty claims. I would give $100,000,000 directly to the Southern States in proportion to their population, and let those States, use the money for their best interest. Then the remaining $200,000,000 should be used in creating or aiding great public works. I would aid the Great Northern and Southern Pacific Railroad, and so give employment to 2,000,000 men. Weather To-Way. Washington, Oct. 20.—During Sat urday, the hurricane now central east of Georgia, will move northeast ward, followed in tho South Atlan tic States by winds backing to north orly and westerly, rising barometer, after a temporary fall in the Caroli nas, and warmer, clear or clearing weathor. To Uie People of tlie United Staten. Fellow-Citizens: We congratulate you as patriots, as partakors with us m tho common destiny of American freemen, upon tho result of the Octo ber State elections. Wo rejoioo in : the victory which the people’s bal | lots have bestowed upon the friends | of reform, in the valley of Ohio whero tho Republican hosts had an over whelming ascendency in every Presi dential election since 1856. We re joice in tho assurance these election convey that your ballots will bestow decisive majorities to tho allied forces of Democracy and Reform in tho November elections throughout the Union. But rejoice not as parti sans ; we rejoice with you as fellow citizens. And when the decision of this wook of one million voters along the val loy of the Ohio shall bo ratified next mouth, by tho flat of eight million voters throughout tho whole Repub lic, we shall still rejoice, chiefly for the reason that not one of its citizens can miss of an equal share with us who are Democrats, in tho political peace and good will which will then and thero bo established among all sections, races, classes and condi tions of mon, and in the prosperity of which political peace, based on equal rights and fraternal good will is the first condition. Upon the three States of West Vir ginia, Ohio and Indiana, were con centrated all tho influence of the administration, all their efforts, and fill the vast sums of money forced from tho ono • hundred thousand office-holders of tho party in power. These woro fearful odds, not again to be contended against so concen trated; for in tho November elec tions the contest will be in every one of the thirty-eight States upon the same day. Nevertneless, against these odds the Democrats and reformers of West Virginia and Indiana havo been vic torious, and in Ohio they havo all but rescued a State hitherto deemed hopeless, and havo created an assur ance of victory in November. If it falls to our lot as a National Democratic Committee to congratu late tho peoplo of the Union upon this victory in tho first battle of the reform campaign, it is only because Democrats have been honored to be the leaders of the people in the work of a national regeneration. The victory won, the victory still to bo won, will be a deliverance as much to Republicans as to Demo crats. The patriotic masses of tho Repub lican party may be thankful that the misdeeds of their unworthy leaders havo been rebuked and are to be arrested. The suffering whites of the South may lift up their heads to greet the dawn of a better day for them as well as tho nation at large. The colored citizen may share the general joy that ho will soon cease to be tho stock in trado of corrupt politicians, but shall enjoy his right ful liberties and his equality before the law amid universal good will. As for the Reform Democracy, to whoso standard victory has been tied, with all her garlands on, it only remains for them to wel come every ally, every friend, close up tho ranks and press on, shoulder to shoulder, under the banner and with the oue watchword REFORM. Fellow-Citizens: Peace between all sections; prosperity in all our homes; of these you have been for years de prived by the mistaken solicitudes of patriotic Republicans, played upon by selfish aud corrupt leaders, who have kept fanning the dying embers of civil strife in order to escape in spection of tiio trusts which they betrayed. For eleven years you have had the name of poace, At no time have you had tho substance of peace. In lieu thereof you had the grinding taxa tion and wasteful expenditure of war. Just before every election each year, you have had the preaching of anew crusade against a section utterly de feated in war, and anxious only to be completely reconciled in peace. For eleven years the power of the men who have seized away tho con trol of their party from the hands of its statesmen and founders, has been supreme in almost every department of the Federal Government. Discarding the hope of prolonging their dominatfon by beneficent pub lic measures, they havo created and trafficked upon public calamities. Tho policy thoy adopted has been worked out. Its failure has been ab solute. In place of past performances these same corrupt and selfish leaders now proffer promises already broken as their titles to further trust. Having prostrated our manifold in dustries by tho vast aggregates and tho worst methods of Federal taxa tion. they now again solicit your con fidence as the instruments of re trenchment and reform. Having debauched the public ser vice, and having just now, in tho face of open day, assessed their army of one hundred thousand office-holders—the people’s servants —paid by the people’s taxes—in or der to create immense corruption funds to frustrate tho people’s will, they now profess to be the champions of civil service reform. Having im posed upon tho Southern States tho rapacity, fraud and plunder of the carpet-hag governments, having al most ruined the prosperity of the South, having created terror, uncer tainty and confusion in all the pro ductive industries of tho South, which furnish most of the exports of our whole country, keep in motion the commerce and manufactories of the North and East, and furnish a market for tho agricultural products of the West, they now propose, by renewal of tho samo fatal policy, to prolong their own power in the hope of concealing their misdeeds, and tor this purposfe thoy do not hesitate to renew the cry of intolerance; to re vive the dying memories of fraternal strife, and to appeal to the fear Band prejudices of tho timid and ignorant. Fellow-Citizens: These men and their measures have been completely tried and havo completely failed. An oppressive taxation, an exhausted I South, an impoverished North, a fluctuating currency, the enterprise : of an industrious people locked fast in tho paralysis of hard times—such i3 the outcome of their political pol icy, such aro tho achievements of their long supremacy. Your ballots in November can alone dictato a change of measures and a change of men. Shall no.t the uprising of pa triotism along the valley of the Ohio go on to a complete and bonefl cial revolution in the administration of the government of the United Will you not, by tho voice of over- wholrning majorities at tho polls, proclaim your invincible faith, after all these years of corruption aud pussion, in tho high immortal prin ciples of governmant by tho people for the people, in simple honesty and strict economy, as tho supremo wis dom of publio policy, in justice as the mother of power, and in civil freedom as tho bo-ull and the end-all of a true Republican nationality. Will you not build up anew pros perity for all tho people on tho old foundations of American selfgovern mont, on peace, reconciliation aud fraternity between all sections, all classes and all races embraced with in our system of American common wealths; on frugality anil economy iu all governments; on honesty and purity of administration, and having lost your prosperiy through govern mental misrule, regain that prosper ity through governmental reform. We commit this great issue to tho in telligence and conscience of the American peoplo, with an unfalter ing trust iu the wisdom and justice of thoir decision.
