WILL TUB CITY MOVE IS THE MATTER.
Columbus has slumbered over her Inter
ests until shebecamo bound and girded by
a powerful railroad monopoly. Through
the Instrumentality of Maj. R. J. Mosos
and others, the light of freedom logins to
break In upon ue, and In Its effulgence to
show how we have been treated and by
whom. The bill of Injunction asked
against tho Central Railroad by some of
the stockholders of the Mobile & Girard
Road, shows a terrible state of things,
and makes a clear case of want of perfor
mance of contract. Columbus hss sunk
thousands of dollars In railroads, and,
speculators and others have reaped tho
odvantago. Will the city, that has nearly
three hundred thousand dollars invested,
help the investigation by allowing herself
to be made a party to tho bill. We hopo
so. Tbo people should demand It, and If
not done now, bo made an Issue In the
coming municipal race. Let those men
who are willing to help free Columbus
from monopolies of all kinds, and take
advantage of opportunities to better her
finances, be called to tho front. If any
man has any Interest at stake by which
ho Is hampered, let him vacate the board,
and give way to men resolved to stand by
the rights of the city and her citizens.
Wo arc informed that the objeot of this
bill Is to reinstate all the stock cancelled
to the Central ltoad, and to turn the Road
back to the stockholders. If It is accom
plished, the city will have $300,000 worth
of good stock, worth eighty or ninety
cts. In the dollar, wheroos now she has only
$150,000. We are Informed that tho city
cou employ lawyers In the prosecution of
tho case, who will agree to “nooure.no
pay,” so strong Is their faith In the suc
cess of tho suit. We gave a full account
of the suit In our Issue of yesterday.
Will tho City Council act? If not, will
the next?
A Columbus Youth In Trouble.
A young Columbus man, who gives his
name as W. A. Howard, Is In trouble In
this city, and the trouble promises to l>e
of a very,serious nature. A’young Irish
man arrived In the city Sunday morning,
having with him a very genteel looking
vallso. Howard chanced to meet with
him, and, llndlng that tho young man was
a little short of means and desired cheap
accommodations durlug tho brief stay he
intended to make hero,{commenced atten
tions, with the ostensible purpose of be
friending him. He.took him to a boarding
house, where they took .breakfast and din
ner, and strolled about town with him all
day. Late injtho evening the young man
concluded to go to anothor house, and
took hlsjvallse for thnt.purpose. Howard
still accompanied him, and volunteered to
carry his valise part of the way. As they
were coming down Fourth stroet the
young man stopped to enquire of a negro
the direction to the housejwhich lie want
ed toJiroach, andlwhilol.he was thus on
gagod Howard ran oil with tho valise.
OfllcorslGraca and Sliupson wore at once
notlflod!of,the occurrence, and in a short
time they overtook Howard near tho fac
tory, with the valise In Ills possession. He
was Inquiring tholway to the nearost out
of-town station on the Macon and Western
Railroad, obviously with the intention of
getting away. Ho was takon In custody
andjlodged in.llio'barracks and yesterday a
warrant was]|taken out for his detention.
The valise; contained a very good wardrobe,
a portlon’of which was new.
Howard says he came from Columbus,
where he haa relatives living. He and a
chum, he says, arrived here Thursday
evening. The chum in question appears
to have disappeared since Howard's ar
rest— Macon Telegraph..
Theffiyoung man is from Columbus.
While herejho appeared to lie an industri
ous young man, but would sometimes get
on a little frolic.
ATLANTA NOTES.

An Atlanta youth went back on ids en
gagement liecauso he overheard hor say
that she had been folded in the arms of
Morpheus. They are not very classic up
there, but awful virtuous Aug. Oonst.
One of the lieutenants who was on duty
in South Carolina last weok, returnod to
Atlanta on Sunday, and was immediately
arrested and suspended from duty until
charges against him of being a Democrat
can be investigated. He was released and

To TIIK 1*1601*14, Olt THJ6 FOURTH CONG liKs-
S ION AD DISTRICT.
Tho canvass in which I took part us a
cundidate for Congress has closed.
Without stopping to. inquire Into the
manner In which the canvass was con
ducted. or to exhibit the means by which
the result was accomplished, it is proper
to say something of tho principles in
volved In the contest.
I complain of nothing; my personal for
tunes are of much lass Importance than
the great principles which I undertook to
maintain before the people.
I say nothing of the extraordinary exer
tions made to givo succoss to the party
organization which I confronted; nor of
the unparalleled methods employed to
bring tho full power of that organization
to boar upon my position. But I cannot
consent that my position shall !>o misun
derstood.
In consenting to submit my name to the
poople as a candidate for Congress. In ad
vance of the meeting of a convention, and
without reference to Its action, I compre
hended that I should encounter the hostil
ity of thoso who were Interested in main
taining the supremacy of party machin
ery over the people. But I could not foresee
that my course would bo construed Into
hostility to tho party. Having acted with
that party since Its present organization
was formed; having uniformly advoca
ted its groat national principles; having
contributed what I could to give succes to
Its policy, and having In my letter which
first brought me before the people, and in
all ray speeches, declared my purpose
to support Sir. Tllden for the Pres
idency, ‘ F did not suppose that
the most persistent misrepresentations of
those who opposed me, could so far mis
lead the people as to make them believe
that my position was, In any sense, an
tagonistical Jto the interests of the Demo
cratic party. But, early in the canvass, I
saw that I must encounter the most for
midable odds. Without a press to sustain
me, with a single exception, I could com
municate with the people of an extensive
District only by an occasional address to
them. Every effort was made to bring
the full force of the party machinery to
bear upon the people. Never was Its sway
more vigorously or more relentlessly ex
erted. Appeals were made to the mem
bers of the party to close up the columns;
and not oontent with the full power of the
press, gentlemeivlistingulsned for ability
and Influence were brought into the Dis
trict to harangue tho people upon the
danger of any departure from the serried
lines of the “Organized Democracy.”
Eyery one supposed to be in sympathy
with the movement in belialf of the free
and Independent action of the people, was
entreated to stand fast; and the move
ment was denounced as inopportune, and
full of danger to the national Interests of
the party. *
With my experience In public life, it was
plain to me, that 1 must either decline to
go on with the canvass, or, in the face of
this formidable array of power and influ
ence, continue to press upon the people
the groat principles for which I was con
tending. with whatever of courage or
vigor I could command; so that, if I suf
fered a personal defeat, I might at least
open the way for the future triumph of
those principles—principles dear to free’
men and essential to tho stability and
glory of the Republic.
I have done what I could to maintain
these principles. If I have not won a per
sonal triumph, I trust that I have con
tributed something towards the enfran
chisement of the people, and the growth
of a patriotic sentiment that embraces the
whole country.
In the course of my struggles, I know
that I havo had the sympathy of many
truo and brave men. The able letters of
Hon. H. V. M. Miller and Hon. Robert
Toombs have animated me in tho unequal
contest, and they will yet exert a wide in
fluence over the people.
In my letter announcing my willingness
to submit my name directly to the people,
certain groat principles were asserted.
My confidence in their complete triumph
is undiminished.
I re-assert the Importance of encourag
ing the people to take an active part in
the management of their political affairs,
to think for themselves; to act for them
selves; to feel that the Government Is
their Government; and to rise to a full
view of the granduer of their position. A
free people establishing their institutions
on this continent, washed by the two
great oceans of the world, should compre
hend the principles of their own Govern
ment, and shape its destiny. A freo Gov
ernment, animated by the living spirit of
the people, Is the greatest, best and hap
piest of all political systems; but when
the people cease to take an active part in
controlling their own Government, and
submit to the domination of a few man
agers who undertake to relieve them from
the task of Government, it loses it chlefest
and most glorious distinction, and degen
erates Into a feeble oligarchy.
It Is ossentlal too, to restore a broad na.
tional, patriotic sentiment that embraces
the whole country. Tho government oan
notbe administeredupon the theory of re
sontments. We must overcome sectional
ism at the North, and at the South. There
should be a true, generous and perfect
reconciliation and restoration in all the
land. Our National elections should have
reference not to sectional issues, but to
questions affecting the prosperity and the
welfare of the country in its largest ex
tent. We must re-lnvigorate the princi
ples of tho Constitution, and Insist upon
an administration of Government that
will advance the goootl of every section,
and lift up the down-trodden portions of
the country.
These are the principles which I have
assisted and endeavored to maintain In
your presence. It has been ray aim to
conduot the canvass with dignity and
fairness; and to discourage everything
which could defeat the free expression off
the will of the people. I am unconscious
of having departed from this course in a
single instance. Confident in the begin
ning that I was right in the position
which I assumed, I have held it steadily
agatnst all assaults; and I hold it to-day
In the face of all opposition.
To those who have stood with me, I am
profoundly grateful. I eannot find lan
guage to express my thanks for the noble
and oourageous support which they have
given me throughout the canvass that
has now ended. 1 hope that we shall wit
ness the early and perfect triumph of the
principles which we have in common en
deavored to uphold.

His Pathetic Article.
From the Detroit Free Preaa.
On the Bay City train coming down yes
terday was a passenger whose strange ac
tions drew the attention of every one in the
car. He had a newspapaer in one hand and
a handkerchief in the other, and he would
read for a minute or two and then turn away
and weep. After this action had continued
for some time one of his fellow passengers
approached him and tenderly remarked:
‘My friend, you seem to feel sorrowful.’
‘So 1 do,’ was the choked reply.
‘Have you had some great bereavement 1 ’
‘Not very lately. I was reading a pa
thetic article in this paper, and it calls up
old recollections.’
‘Let me see it,’asked the gentleman, and
taking the paper he found that the article
commenced with: ‘All persons are hereby
forbidden to trust my wife after this date", as
she has left my bed and board,' and so forth.
He didn't know what to say in reply, and as
he handed the paper back without a word
the grief-stricken man remarked:
‘I haven’t been so affected for fifteen
years!’
•Why, what has this to do with you!’ was
the surprised query.
‘Th-there’s a fond wife turned out on—
on the world,’ replied the weeper; ‘no home,
no cash; no credit. Poverty drives her to
sleep in a barn. During the night she rolls
off the hay mow, strikes on the fanning.mill,
breaks her neck and is found dead the next
day! The husband and seven children gather
around the body, and—and—but can you
imagine that scene and not weep? Lend
me some of that tobacco and leave me alone
with my grief. I feel like a spring break-up
and I know it's better for my system than
quinine.’
They stood back and let him grieve, and
he didn’t seem to get over it a bit until he
saw a dog fight on the platform at a station.
That entered his soul like a ray of sunshine,
and as the train moved on he stood up and
said:
‘l’ll bet any cadaver in this car $5 that
the wall-eyed dog gets licked!’
How the Nevada Indians Live.
Eureka Sentinel, Oct. 29.—The weather
yesterday wa of a character to depress the
spirits of the noble red man. A dead-in
earnest snow-storm he didn’t mind a bit; but
wet, thawing weather gets him. When the
snow banks up on his wickiup it aids to keep
him warm; but in a rain or thaw the trickling
moisture workß through the boles in his res
idence, which is constructed of pretty much
all holes, and the cold drops insidiously
crawl under his clothes at his neck and creep
down his spine and make him get up and
howl. In such weather he don’t believe
that there is no place like home, and so he
don’t stay at home, He wraps his blanket
about him and Seeks the haunts of the pale
faces, and lounges on the street corners and
chats with his own or some other Indian’s
squaw. When it is considered that the In
dians sleep at night on the damp ground,
with scarcely any shelter to speak ot, and
during the day time, no matter how severe
the weather, seldom enter a house, one would
think their lives must be miserable to an ex
treme. But such does not seem to be the
case; they were born on the bleak hillsides
and the miserable structure for which hut is
too good a name is the only kind of horns
they have ever known. Most of them would
die if forced to live in a comfortable dwell
ing; and, so long as they possess a blanket
and get enough to eat and can earn a little
silver to gamble with, they are far more
happy and contented than the majority of
white people who live in luxury.

rfHK POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH
JL includes National, SUte and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvass of iB6O, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
.hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity ot
the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the South are deeply inter
ested; and ever* intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning New*.
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
uounced opinions aud fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida affairs ia not confined to a
mere barren summary of events tranapiric;; in
those States, but is eullvened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence 'rom all parts of the
world, through th£ press dispatches, special tel
egrams, aud by means of special correspondent*!;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
