Colonel A K McClure, of the

of tb South resulted in i, fines °f

universally commented on in t! ‘‘ high-
,tf f tU by means of these lotti ,
complisbed more real good for the
mil) than anything which lias taken
ennee the uar. He has opined t ho
f the people of the North to ti e
i true condition of affairs, social, poli i-
cul and material, in this section, and
has disabused the minds of many of
the false and prejudiced ideas which
they bad imbibed through the teachings
of their own reckless, tinscrupiilous
partisan journals.
j Among other things and what will
j undoubtedly redound more to on r
benefit than anything else, dolone!

j this section which arc now ready for
development, and which must, in the
near future, give us the lead in mate-
rial progress and wealth. lie has
shown that the South has rare facilities
for the economical production of both
raw materia! and manufactured arti.
c!< h of many kinds; that it has great
stores of mineral wealth which have
been scarcely touched as yet while
mill sited and v ater power which can
readily bo made available, abound and
all this in a section where n r climate
difficulties will be mot with to obstruct
and hamper munufucturiugenterpii oi.
The Textile Record of Philadelphia,
which is the leaking journal in the
country, devoted to interests of the
manufacturers of textile mate rials,
has been much impres ed with Colonel
McOturo’s statements and the result
of his observations while on his South
ern tour. Iu its lost Issue, this paper,
under the Ramo caplion with which we
bead this article, comments, at some
length, upon the future prospects of
the South. These prospects it regards
as moat promising, and it makes the
prediction tlmt our prosperity, which
is now dawning, will soon break forth
m full light. After commenting in
detail upon our resources, it says, and
its remarks are worth consideration;
“Up to within a few years, and to
considerable extent even y it, the great
hindrance to the development of
Southern industries has been the want
of means of transportation. Of wlmt
avail was itthnt cotton could be car-
ried directTroin the Ipu to the mill,
and woven iuto cloth by cheap labor,
ussi t d by still cheaper power, with¬
out the expense of long freight routes
and numerous handlings, when the
product could reach a market only af¬
ter days of expensive hauling by mule
teams on difficult roads ? But this is
fast being changed. The development
of the Southern railroad system is
progressing with rapidity, and many
parts of tho South are now iu ready
communication with the seaboard,
which a few years ago were as com¬
pletely shut off from it as wore Pitts¬
burg and Buffalo a hundred years ago,
Tho dawn of Southern prosperity has
begun, and it does not require au
over-snnguiuo faith to believe that its
agriculture, manufactures and com¬
merce will, in the near future, nearly
or quite equ d those of tlm North.”
Judge Woods and the Railroad
Commission.
Judge Woods rendered his decision
on (he Oth iu the case of George H.
Tilley against the Savannah, Flor¬
ida and Western railroad company,
and James M. Smith aud others, of the
railroad commission. In the course
of his remarks he says:
“The not of the Legislature if eou-
stitutioual nniy bo considered unwise
or even oppressive, but even if it is the
remedy is not with this court, tint with |
the Legislature. If tho general assem- j
l,ly iu its passage were acting within
the scope of its constitutional power, j
no matter how cruel aud unjust the
h,w uiay be the court cannot apply the | ,
remedy. ]
There is nothing in the nefc com¬ I
plained of which indicates a disposition j
on tho part of the L •gist: t ire t * op ;

pons to be rather an act, iu good faith i
to discharge u duty imperatively de (

Mv conclusion is that the act 1
Legislature of Georgia, approved Oc- j !
tober 14, 187D, entitled au act io pro-
vute for tho regulation of railed j
freight and passenger tends in this .
State, etc., etc., is not iu violation of j
either the constitution of the United { !
States or of tho State of Georgia; that
under the , constitution . of Georgia _ . pow- ,
er and autlwrity is conferred on the i
legislature to pass laws to regulate \
freight and passenger ^ariffs ou rnii-
roads and require reasonable and just
rate*, and it is its dnty, to p iss such
laws, that it may prescribe such rates,
either directly or through the inter"
ventiou of a commission, and that the
question whether lh rates Dre
scibecl *'7 the , _ legislature, . either , direct- ,, .
Jy or indirectly, ate jn*t and reasona-
ble, is a qmstion which under the
constitution, Hie legislature may de
termine for itself.
It results from these conclusions
that the motion forinjnnction pendente
lite must be denied and the restraining
order heretofore allowed must bo dis
solved, and it will he so* ordered.”
Ireland Aflame.
Boston, February 4W: —Thefollow-

Irish Nation Land League of the
United States, Boston, February 4 —
To tlm M-rnbers of tl.e Land League
and the American People: The crisis
Das been reached in Ireland. It is not
the unexpected that lias happened
The suppression of free speech, arrests
without bail, the darkening of the land
with spies and soldiers, coercion, the
blow before the remedy—all these are
inevitable. England m >ves but slow¬
ly toward justice. Behold her well-
worn wenpons.
There is a new Ireland. In the mass
of her people courage; patriotism zeal,
endurance, leadership and capacity
sufficient for the tim i exist; strong
thoughtful, resolute men lead. If they
are silenced others will leap to fid the
vacant places. Ireland cries lor jus¬
tice. The land league is her voice.
England must build more jails before
that voice can be stifled. To the out-
rage upon the people’s representatives,
to the attempt to place Ireland on her
knees to beat and scourge her before
righting her wrong3, to the arrest of
the brave Michael Davitt, Jet America
answer in protest. As the bonfire
flamed upon all the hilsl in that olden
time when the edict went forth, so
now in every American city let the
tire of your indignation blaze. Cal]
public meetings everywhere at once.
As you saved the Irish people from
death and raised them from despair,
show that your sympathy is sti'l witli
them in their grand struggle for jus¬
tice.
Members of the league, knit closely
together. Add to your numbers.
Form new branches in every place
where friends of the cause can lie
found. Place your elves in immediate
communication with us Ireland moves
fast to the supreme crisis, and we
must be close together when the hour
arrives. Trust the patriotism,wisdom
aud prudence of the Irish leaders —
They are cheered by your sympathy.
Blake your sympathy more marked.

In reply to the inquiries contained

tobacco to bis hired laborers is liable
to pay a special tax:
If lie sells manufactured tobacco,
the tax would be that of a dealer iu

A startling rumor reached Albany

fice business of tie eouutry. The

receive compensations allowed gov

charge any rate of postage deemed
advisable, it is supposed that a few
energetic, wealthy men can run the
po-t 'ffice department cheaper than
the government can.
