The Atlanta Constitution refer* to a
rumor that the Central Railroad la about
to institute suit* against *oine of the
newspapers of the State, It does not say
for what cauac.
The beat in New York city on Sat
urday was one degree leas than that
of Friday. There were several sun
strokes during the day, and one of
them fatal.
A negro named Henry Reeves was
killed by another, named Henry
Thomas, early Sunday morning. In
Atlanta. He broke Reeves’ skull
with a rock, and then fled.
We learn from the Montgomery
Advertiser that the Federal Court
there has taken a recess until Mon
day next, when the caso of the Atlan
tic and I'acillc Telegraph Company,
for right of way along the line of the
South and North Railroad, Is set for
a jury.
The Democrats and Conservatives
of Hullock county, Alabama, uro to
meet by delegates in convention at
Union Springs, on the 27th of .Tune,
to nominate candidates for the sev
eral county offices. Beat meetings
are called to appoint the delegates.
The Greenback party of Ohio have
called a State Convention, to meet at
Columbus on the 6th of June, to
nominate a candidate for Governor.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which is a
strong advocate of the financial pol
icy of the Greenback party, opposes
its separate organization and urges
waiting until the Democrats make
nominations.

The Union Springs Herald calls
attention to the fact that the law of
Alabama requires that certificates of
redemption given by the Probate
Judge for tho redemption of lands
sold for taxes shall be countersigned
by the County Treasurer. Without
the signature of the Treasurer, these
certificates will not be received as
evidence.
The delegates of Fulton county lo the
Senatorial Convention of the doth Dis
trict have agreed upon the following gen
tlemen as the candidates of Fulton coun
ty for tho Constitutional Convention:
Gen. L. J. Gartrell, Col. I’. L. Mynatt,
Judge John Callier, Major B. E. Crane,
Col. N. J. Hammond. Clayton is to select
one and Cobb two, and a floater for the
district at large is to be chosen by the
Convention.
The Milledgeville Union thinks
that a pretty strong caao has been
made out against Michael Shaw, ac
cused of the murder of his wife in
Baldwin county. It will be remem
bered that two negroes were at first
arrested on suspicion, but released in
a day or two because there was no
proof against them. Subsequent de
velopments directed suspicion to
Shaw, who is now in jail at Augusta.
Two Moke Candidates.—We add to
the announcements of candidates for
the Constitutional Convention the
names of Judgo J. F. Pou and Ex-
SolieitorGenera! W. A. Little. Judge
Pou has not ouly distinguished hira
stdf at tho bar and on the bench, b it
has made an able and acceptable
legislator. Capt. Little is a young
man of line talents, and has present
ed t hrough our columns some sug
gestions us to amendments needed,
which show him to be fully enlisted
in the work of retrenchment and
reform which the people demand.
Both would well illustrate Muscogee
in an assembly of the talont and
patriotism of the State.
And Two Moke Good Men.— Hon.
B. A. Thornton and Hon. John Pea
body are announced as candidates.
They are both men whom the people
of Muscogee have often delighted to
honor,and who have always filled re
sponsible positions with ability and
fidelity. Either of them, if elected,
would be a man of mark in the Con
vention.
Muscogee thus presents a goodly
array of candidates—all men who
ought to be iu the Convention; but iu
asmueh ns all canuot be, it devolves
on the people to make choice of the
three most acceptable to them.

We copy from the Augusta Chroni
cle some just and sensible strictures
on the Waynesboro lynching affair,
and on the excitement caused by tho
reported calling out of troops to as
sist in the arrest of the lynching par
ties. In justice to Oov. Colquitt, on
whom, otherwise, a part of the
Chronicle's censures might seem to
rest, we copy from the same paper
his letter to the Sheriff of Richmond
county, from which it will be seen
that the Governor only authorized
the Sheriff to call on the military
company for aid in case of necessity,
and that he did this at the sugges
tion of tho Solicitor General:

I MECRKTAKI fctIKHMAVM I*ol.lll
ATTACHKB
Secretary Sherman, by bis an
nounced pollcY of contraction of the
greenback circulation, is pursuing
the very oourse which the extreme
advocates of contraction wished to
legalize when the currency question
was beforo Congress in the early
l>art of 1875. They failed to procure
such legalization. The so-called
Resumption act passed at that time
was a compromise between what
were called the contraction and ex
pansion parties. It authorized the
Secretary to redeem tho fractional
currency with sliver, and to sell
bonds for gold, to bo held In prepar
ation for resumption In 1879. But It
no-whero authorized him to sell
bonds for greenbacks, or to buy up
greenbacks with gold obtained by
the sale of bonds, and to retire these
greenbacks from circulation beforo
1879, thus virtually reaching resump
tion mainly by contraction.
Wo are glad, as we have said be
fore, to find so influential a financial
paper as the New York Bulletin (ao
anti-inflation paj>er) opposing the
Secretary’s proceedings and de
nouncing them as Illegal. This gives
us assurances that Secretary Sher
man’s course will be overhauled
when Congress meets, and we hope
arrested. Wo have copied some re
marks of tho Bulletin contending
that there was no law for the Secreta
ry’s proceedings, aud wo now find it
maintaining that there is no need tor
it. The Bulletin says that the pres
ent difference between the customs
coin revenue and tho coin interest
payments of the Government is about
$55,000,000 per annum. The Sec
retary has the discretionary power to sell
this surplus of com revenue, or to retain
it. A certain portion of this must neces
sarily be converted into legal tenders in
order to provide for tho ordinary pay
ments of the Treasury. But after pro
viding for such ordinary expenditures,
there remains a surplus of about $30,000,-
000 usually devoted to the Sinking Fund.
The boarding of this surplus $30,000,000
of coin, for the ensuing 10J months, would
add close upon $50,000,000 to the coin al
ready owned by the Treasury, making
tho sum of coin owned by the Govern
ment on the Ist of January', 1870, nearly
$100,000,000; wli ch Should be deemed an
adequate reserve against the $325,000,000
of the United Slates Notes which is likely
to be then outstanding. It will thus be seen
that it is quite unnecessary to sell bonds
as a means of effecting the accumulation
of coin called for by the Resumption Act;
and, that being the case, it seems ridicu
lous for tho Government to be borrowing
gold with one hand and selling it with the
other. Of course this hoarding of a por
tion of customs receipts implies that the
Sinking Fund would be neglected pend
ing that process. But that, in any event,
is virtually a necessity; for, if the
coin revenuo ho not hoarded ns sug
gested, but devoted to the Sinking
Fund, then the procuring of gold
by sales of bonds becomes necessary,
and the Secretary would therefore in
crease the debt by one class of operations
just us fast ns he diminished it by another.
VEX AM PACIFIC HIIIKOIO.
We copy a reply of tbo Memphis
Avalanche to some strictures which
we made upon its latoartiele opposing
tho refunding of tho cotton tax be
cause it would damage tho prospects
of aid to tbo Texas rucillc Railroad.
We oare but little whether the aid
which is asked of the Government
may properly be called a “subsidy”
or not. It is un endorsement of
bonds to the extent of the payment of
interest, just as the Government has
eudorsed for tho other Pacific Rail
roads. Tho Government has to pay
interest on them, and If it endorses
in the same way for tho Texas Pacific,
wo are in favor of its paying iuterest
on tho bonds of that road too. We
are for equalizing bounties, favors or
“subsidies” between the sections, if
the Government will persist in such
a policy by aiding railroads or other
wise. But we opposo such works as
a system, because we believe them
unconstitutional, embarrassing to a
Government already deeply in debt,
and oppressive to a people al
ready too heavy taxed; and
we oppose such aid to the
Texas Pacific Railroad because it is
another scheme to aggrandize tho
North by diverting trade that
ought to bo brought to Southern
ports. So the Avalanche will see
that we are not troubled about the
precise character of the aid which
the Government is to give to the
road, or solicitous about the security
which the company is to give. If
wo can’t defeat such schemes by
standing up for principle, let us have
a fair grab.
Wo did not notice the Avalanche's
other objection to the refunding of
the cotton tax—on the ground of its
“impracticability”—because we had
already discussed that question, and
did not care to go over it again. Wo
bad suggested that the Government
should repay this tax to tho States,
and let the several cotton-growing
States settle tho matter with their
own citizens. We venture to say that
every cotton tax payer is willing to
have this done, and the province of
the Federal Government is to deal
with tho citizens of the States through
their State governments.
Wo again protest against a forbear
ance to press a just Southern claim
against the Federal Government be
cause it may injuriously affect a rail
road scheme In which the States that
paid the cotton tax have no peculiar
interest.
Col. Scott’s Address.— Since ma
king an extract from the address of
Col. S. S. Scott on Memorial day at
Selma, Ala., wo have received from
him a corrected copy of the address.
Wo find that there wore many errors
in the Selma Times’publication, in
cluding some in the portion which
we copied. We therefore copy the
entire address to-day, as it is short,
and interesting and. eloquent
throughout.
1 OPPOSITION TOMHOETKNINUTKRMM
AND TO MOHE POPULAR ELKCTIONH.
Editors Times: You certainly mean
true journalism in publishing so un
complainingly the runny communion
tlons pro and con. the Constitutional
Convention. It anything can raise a
public journal in the estimation of
the people and increase its subscrip
tion list, opening its columns for a
full and free discussion of tho great
question now engaging the minds of
Georgians, and relinquishing its own
right to un active partin the same,
after indicating its bias, in my opin
ion should. If the people muko a
losing game of this, the Times Is not
to blame, for they have had free ac
cess to its columns.
Rut to my subject. Since I see that
every one is now In fuvor of sondiog
responsible, liberal minded men as
delegates—men who are not only re
liable, but responsible for their acts
--men who are willing that every va
ried interest of this good old State
shall have a fair and Impartial show
ing in its organic) law—l put myself
upon record as having ceased to op
pose a Convention, yet I must say it
is Dot so much the fault of tho in
strument which has irritated the peo
ple’s wound, as it is the thrus s of
ignorant “quacks” who have used it.
As I feel the object for which I at
first contended, and for which Geor
gians will contend on the “lastquar
ter,” has been in a manner assured
a liberal Homestead—l thought to
say no more. Rut recently I notice
changes advocated by eminent Con
vention lovers, which, if made, in
my humble judgment, will be bene
ficial to no one but those who are
oiffand are watching and praying to
get in.
It is said tho Governor’s term
should bo shortened, and that hiß
appointing power should be
abridged; that Judges of the Superior
Courts and Solicitor-Generals should
belelected by the people, simply bo
cause it worked well before the war.
If these changes are made, of course
wo are to be troubled with
more frequent and hotly contest
ed elections. Cuffy and every “up
start” will swell themselves up until
they think they are big as au ox, and
be wanting office. It is true, many
of them will bo like the fly on the
chariot’s axle, when he exclaimed:
“Whatadust I do raise!” and like
the gnat on tho bull’s horn, of which
.3isop tells us; yet, such a state of
affairs, even no worse than this, is
not desirable. Fut the fodder high
up in the rack, and let it take a
giraffe to get it. Them's my senti
ments! I, for one, have no time to
go down to Cusseta every Saturday
evening and vote for a Governor;
once in four years will do me; and
then I am willing for him to appoint
Judges and Solicitors General, with
the concurrence of the Senate. The
people may ballot a thousand times,
and could not do better, in this
Circuit, than Gov. Colquitt has done
in appointing Hon. M. J. Crawford,
Judge, and Col. H. Rtissey, Solicitor.
I am not in favor of one man pow
er, but under existing circumstances
I think these things should remain
unchanged. Every one who is not
in the bog swamp of Florida, where
it is said they don’t know the war
has closed, will agree with me in
this at least—that there were a few
years ago 4,000,000 ignorant slaves
turned loose among us in one day,
peunyless freedmen, whose votes
count as fast aud are as legal ns those
of the wealthiest, wisest and most
eminent citizens of America. For
those who know the negro best, it
does not require very critical nicety
to see that his natural propensities
are on the bottom round order. As
an element in labor here he is im
portant, and should be fully and
fairly protected, but as an element in
the political world, hereafter, lie is
destined to act merely the part
of an automaton which will
dance to the tune of
any party that may understand how
to wind him up. During the elec
tions campaigns (I mean no censure,
but argument) candidates are apt to
make themselves too free-will talk
to them about the imagined “dirty
tricks” of opponents -will take them
by the hand—howdy, Tom, Dick and
Ike—promise this, thatand the other,
and so on to the end of the list, until
after the election is over, when the
white man attempts to rise to his
former position in the scale, and cor
respondingly to let the nigger down,
but not so easily, for familiarity has
bred contempt—has had its effect.
The negro, with a naturally narrow
mind aud almost total disregard for
character, the rights of property and
saereduess of person, does not com
prehend this freedom towards
him, and therefore feels him
self disappointed, or rather
duped. What, then, may we expect
as a sequel? E. g., enquire over the
cotton belt of Georgia, and how many
poor farmers’ gin houses, barns and
country stores have been touched by
the midnight fiends’ torch, and at
once reduced to ashes by its hungry
flames? How many helpless females’
persons-awful thought! almost death
itself—have been violated by these
unchained demons in human form?
Then I hold any law which even
tends to bring about these things
should not be made more general.
Let it stay where it is, even if a few
politicians who have been for ten
long, weary years vainly knocking at
the door for admittance to a seat up
on the judge’s bench, or gubernato
rial chair, should at last have to go
down to the grave weeping, wailing
and gnashing their teeth.
W. N. A.
Mu. A. H. AYyciik, an old and well
known citizen ot Macon, died in that city
on Tuesday. He was a man of extensive
information and a good writer. Many
fine contributions from bis pen have ap
peared in the press of this city.
Tho Memphis Avalanche, which is c
strong mlvoeato of the subsidy to the so
ualleuTexas Pacific Railroad, says that
It Is the "duty’’of the Southern press ti
oppose the refunding of the cotton tax
‘•whether it was constitutional or uncon
st tutlonai,” because "pressing It on Con
grogs will woakon the chances of securing
Government aid for needed Internal
Improvements in tho South."— Culumbu *
(Ua) Times, Kith.
The Government is understood,
when granting a “subsidy,” to appro
priate a specified sum to secure a
public enterprise agalust pecuniary
loss, such sum not to ho returned.
Application of the term “subsidy” to
the nature of the aid ashed for the
Texas Pacific Railroad, without ex
plaining the meeting, is unjust to
that enterprise. In this case the
Government is asked only to guaran
tee the payment of five per cent, in
terest on au estimated total issue of
bonds not to exceed $69,995,000. The
annual interest on these bonds is esti
mated at $3,499,750, the Government
not being responsible for tho pay
ment of the bonds. For thus guar
anteeing payment of the interest
above mentioned, the Government,
wtll bo protected from loss as fol
lows :
1. By the total land grant, Stato and
Natlon and. say 30,000,000 of acres
2. Railroad lines, 2,305 miles,
8. Rolling stuck and all oilier property
appertaining to the companies,
4. Annual earnings ol the roads and
telegraph lines from both the Govern
ment and private business.
5 Bonds of the companies, at tho rato
of $5,000 per mile, remaining in the Treas
ury of the United States, say $11,500,000.
Should the net earuiugs on the
2305 miles of line proposed to be con
structed amount to but SISOO per mile
per annum, it would be sufficient to
pay the annual interest on tile bon is.
The last anuual report of the Texas
and Pacific Railway Company, on
lile with the Secretary of the Interi
or, will show that that company for
the year ending June, 1876, made a
net earning of over $2,000 per mile
without any western connections.
The last reports of the Union Poeitio
and Central Pacific Railroad Com
panies show an average net earning
per mile per annum of $7,388, nearly
live times the amount necessary to
pay the interest upon the bonds pro
posed to he guaranteed by the hill.
If there is uuy safety in securities it
is difficult to figure out a possible
loss to the Government in endorsing
these interest coupons.
The Times’ summary of our objections
to the scheme to refund the “cotton tax”
is not complete. Our contemporary
does not mention the point we made
against the scheme us impracticable, aud
therefore one not to be forced on Con
gress to imperii projects whose practica
bility and justice will be recognized un
less they should be too heavily handicap
ped by visionary measures. By omitting
this point the Times omitted the basis ot
our argument. Wo take it for granted this
was unintentional. Memphis Ava

From the N. O. Democrat, 22d.J
There was the usual gathering of
the gossipers about the custom-house
on Monday morning, and more than
that the Marshal’s Calcasieu brigades
were in attendance, ready of course
to march at a momeut’s notice,
should they receive the necessary
orders. From all that could be
learned in semi-official circles, it is
evident that the revenue cutter Dix
will leave for the seat of the log
war within the next forty
eight hours, if it is ascertained that
the channel through the bar at the
mouth of Lake Charles will admit of
tier passage into tnat lake with her
cargo, aud measures were taken to
ascertain that fact beyond the ques
tion of a doubt. Should that chau
uel become by any means obstructed
with logs, of course the Dix could
only be used to convey the party to
the lake, aud would then be useless
as far as gallivanting about in the
lake or collecting log rafts is con
cerned.
It was rumored about the Mar
shal’s office yesterday morning that
positive instructions had been re
ceived to send a small detachment of
troops with the posse, and that state
ment proved to be correct, as during
the afternoon orders were received
and one company of troops were
marched through the streets to the
Pontchartrain depot, where they em
barked on the train for Milneburg.
There they were met by the reve
nue cutter Dix, which boat they
boarded, and were to have left with
the posse for Lake Charles during
tho night.
The necessity for the assistance of
the troops may be seen from the fol
lowing telegraphic correspondence,
which explains itself;
