THE PRACTICAL VIEW.
If we ate not mistaken, It was Lady
Mary Wortley Montague, who 01100
very pithily remarked that If she had
an enemy whom she desired lo see
sorely punished, she would compel
him to hate somebody. The expres
sion shows that she had made a diag
nosis of human infirmity both skill
ful and eorrcct, and that she had
properly calculated the reflex notion
of fooling morbidly, and ofttimes
eauseleosly indulged. Animosity and
ill-will usually bring little comfort to
the breasts In which they rankle; for
the reason, that it so often comes
about that the service of hate, malice
and envy is to watoh another’s suc
cess, and the wages, to bo sure of it.
Aguln, it must be conceded, that
in many cases Ix-twocn sections and
communities, us well us individuals,
these animosities make themselves
felt in nets; whereupon, if the aotor
or actors, as Is usually the ease, ire
greatly wanting In magnanimity, the
complaints of the sufferers and their
allegations of ruin to their social
condition, and of violence to their
sentiments of self-respect, only en
courage the oppressor to greater
wrong. Let, however, the latter be
satisfied that he is kimmlf greatly
Injured in ids material interests
then, if avarice, us well as malice, be
a quality of Ills nature, the disposi
tion to (/ ratify the latter may bo to
some extent in subjection to his desire
to salisfii the former.
Ever since the base conception, and
baser enforcement of the military re
construction of the Southern Stutes,
it has been the custom of Southern
editors ut home, and Southern orators
in Congress and in Legislatures, to
cry out in the agony of despair, and
to assure the North of the effective
ness of that punishment, which was
the very end and object of those who
wore using the power to Inflict It.
Tliis is the very tiling many Northern
people delight to hear. For this very
purpose, uud to perpetuate party i>ow
er, many of the mojst grievous wrongs
were visited upon us. The class of
men at the North of whom TUuddehs
Stevens, In Ills life time, and now Jno.
A. Logan or lanilaulet Williams is a
representative, feel towards the South
like Othello did to Cassia, when he
said
"Had all ills hairs been lives, my great
revenge
Had stomach for them all."
The party with which these men
affiliate have played, uud uro still
playing a desperate game Indefinitely
to retain political power, have exhibit
ed an utter recklessness of conse
quences when not fancying then*-
solves to be Involved, and have enact
ed and Snforecd the most Infamous
and oppressive measures that dis
grace the annals of civilized legisla
tion.
Asa general rule, all violations of
tlie moral, natural and physical law,
bring their own punishment, and
tiring it speedily; and all measures
such as those wo have recounted -
measures flagrantly at war with good
government, sound reason and wise
inolioy- measures intended to operate
alone In one section of a common
country, will work out some Injury
where not expected. Then money
panics, dullness of trade, labor clam
orous and ungovernable, New Eng
land factories filled with goods await
ing tlie orders of purchasers, and
llnally commercial failures at the
North, can but be the direct, amt
necessary consequence of that South
ern poverty and destitution which the
legislation of the last eight, years
might be expected to produce.
When the Republicans of the North,
to gratify the malice they felt as in
dividuals, and to preserve the offices
and the plunder they worshiped as
a party, saw Ut to make of the igno
rant, and imitative negro a voter and
an office-holder, the negro, whero
ever available, made of himself a gen
tleman, and left, the cotton mid to
bacco patch and corn field for tlie ex
eroise of his newly discovered and
quickly acquired fitness for other
callings. Asa legislator, he and ids
confrere, the carpet-bagger, have
loaded the Southern States with debt,
and have boon instrumental in throw
ing upon the Northern market mil
lions of Southern bonds, which have
sadly depreciated on the hands of the
purchasers. As year by year his effi
ciency as a laborer is lessened, and
his propensity to pilfer increased, his
employer, of course, grows poorer,
the land ho possesses cheaper, and
with an ever diminishing ability to
use his proportionate share of North
ern made goods, tlie New York and
Boston merchant languishes over Ids
till and wonders why trade is so dis
tressingly small.
Wo know it is u stereotyped account
for Southern financial pressure- when
that account proceeds from Northern
sources, that the South as a people
lacks the energy that can command
success. To some extent this is but
too true. The main fact, however, is
that by ruinous legislation the confi
dence of both Northern and Europe
un capital in the safety and stability
of Southern investments is about de
stroyed, and the South rendered poor
almost beyond possibility of recuper
ation, can add nothing to the fast
emptying coffers of the North.
When this unpromising condition is
to cease, or where the causes at work
will llnally land us, no man can fore
cast ; but if tlie reign of hate and bit
terness is to continue, the Northern
people may ere long have only the
empty exultation of him who, in the
clash of the elements and amid the
fury of a stormy sea, stood with
blanched cheek and quivering heart,
in the stem of the sinking ship, and
witnessed the death struggles of his
mortal enemy who went down with
the pride-knowing thut for himself,
too, there was no csoiqK) from a wa
tery grave.
Ol It ATI.A>TA LETTER.
Special Correspondence Daily Times.]
Atlanta, Juii. 23, 1875.
Atlanta is a wonderful place, aud
though it has already grown to mag
nificent dimensions, it is still surely,
steadily Increasing. The secret of its
remarkable progress is told in a sin
gle sentence, “unity and enterprise.”
Anything calculated to redound to
the glory of Atlanta, meets with a
hearty support from nllquartcrs, and
insteud of talking blue and wondering
how long it will take Georgia to go
to ruin at the present late, they meet
events cheerfully, manfully, and suc
cessfully. The General Assembly
has not reached many results us yet,
but the calendar shows a considera
ble foundation for business to come,
as over one hundred bills have been
introduced in the Senate, and two
hundred and fifty-seven in the
House.
A “local option” measure will prob
ably become a law, which renders its
provisions of interest. It provides
that an election shall be held in July
of this year, the voters casting their
ballots “for tippling” or “against
tippling.” in every county where
the majority of votes cast is “against
tippling” the Governor shull, by proc
lamation, declare the law in full ef
fect from tho publication of sneh an
nouncement in any journal of the
State under tho terms of the law, and
no one can give, sell or furnish any
sptritous liquor, or even drink on an
election day except at. hfs own house
or place of business without becom
ing liable for a misdemeanor.
Hills have also boon introduced to
make the sessions begin in Novem
ber, to make them biennial instead
of annual, and to reduce the number
of members to 88 instead of 175, as
now provided. Tho last two are very
good measures and should prevail,
especially in event a Constitutional
Convention is not called, for which
purpose, however, a bill lias been in
troduced.
Governor Smith's first reception
occurred last evening, and was a bril
liant and enjoyable affair. The
beautiful wreaths, flowers and other
decorations, of the entire first floor
of tlie Executive mansion,-were ex
ceedingly handsome. Tlie supper
was siqierb, embracing every delica
cy of the season, spread in a manner
that exhibited the greatest good
taste, and with a bountiful profusion.
Wines of tho richest brands enliv
ened the evening, but more exhilira
ting still was the loveliness of tlie
assembled beauty, prominent among
whom was Miss Annie Woodruff, of
your city, now a guest of Mrs. Smith.
IS. H. Hill delivered another of his
matchless orations last night. As
Mr. Hill has established ills identity
us a citizen of the Ninth District, his
chunees to go to Congress are im
proving.
Atlanta usuully strikes it right in
its blind support of any and every
thing that, seems to'enhance Its inter
est, Kimball included, but it strikes
me that limy arc making a mistake
in the Air Line Railroad matter.
This line extends from Atlanta to
Charlotte, a distance of two hundred
and sixty-five miles, and at present
its general management is controlled
by a Richmond interest, and the road
is worked entirely towards tho ad
vancement of timt city, excepting, of
course, that portion in Georgia under
the control of thut estimable gentle
man and able nllli'O'ad man, Col. L.
I’. Grant. The Air Linopayssixty
five per * out. of all general exjiensos
of tlie line from this city to Rich
mond, yet it requires a party of five
to secure emigrant tickets from Char
lotte via Atlanta, while a single man
can go West via Richmond at the
lowest known rate.
Mi. .T. H. Fisher is here asking for
the road to be run In the Interest of
tho road, which would be Atlanta's
interest also. Atlanta seems to me
to cling to the old crowd and resists
Mr. Fisher. Mr. F. is a clever and
elegaut Virginia gentleman, and for
many years a prominent business
man of New York city. He repre
sents the bondholders who furnished
their money at ninety-seven cents in
the dollar to build the road, and
should certainly have some rights. 1
tried to interview him, but he declines
all newspaper notoriety, relying upon
the jusnessof his cause to vindicate his
application for the road. He did deny
having any knowledge of an injunc
tion restraining tlie present receivers
from paying the employees their back
pay, an act charged upon him by the
lress. L. A. W.
Central Railroad Earnings fou
Twelve Months. The Savannah Ad
eertiser has the following:
Office C. R. R. & BVa Cos., of Ga.. I
Savannah, Jan. 19, 1875. |
To the Stoik'holders: As the last
report embraced only nine months’
earnings and expenses, in conse
quence of changing the termination
of the fiscal year of the company
from the 30(1 1 of November to the 3lst
of August, the Board think it proper
to give the result of operations for
September, October and November,
as follows:
Earnings, $1,058,397 30
Expenses, 11-1,917 38
Net for three months, $613,479 92
Adding tho above to tlie earnings
ami exiHUises reported for the nine
months, ending August 31st, and you
will have for the twelve months:
Earnings. $3,159,405 19
Expenses, 1,974,917 38
Net for twelve mow., $1,184,487 81
The foregoing will enable you to
compare the operations for the twelve
months ending on tlie 30gi of Novem
i her last, with previous years.•
Respectfully submitted.

—One dav last week Mr. Mark Cor
coran, of Greene county, killed six
wild turkeys in two shots, four with

General Toombs. *
The Atlanta Herald lias made some
sovoro strictures on General Toombs,
of lute, regarding tho loun of money
by him to thut journal. Abrams, of
the Neics, replies to tho charges,
claiming that ho, as one of t he pro
prietors rff the Hendd. at. that time,
knows all about the loan. The com
munication Is too long to publish In
full, but wo clip the following ex
tracts :
* * * * * * * *
In the summer of 1873, It- A. Alston
Informed me that ill a brief conversation
tic had had with Gen. Tnombu, Unit gentle
man hud expressed grout satisfaction with
tlie manner in which the Herald had teen
conducted, and liad avowed himself ready
pi give it pecuniary aid if such was need
ed. Some time after, the financial embar
rassments of the paper rendered it neces
sary for us to obtain some assistance, arc I
I suggested to It. A. Alston that he write
to Gen. Toombs reminding him of tiis offer
and making application for the incited ntd.
it. A. Alston declined writing himself al
leging us a reason that the part he lmd
taken in a certain affair some time pre
vious rendered It rather a delicate matter
fur him to address Gen. Toombs. I there
fore resolved to write myself, and did so,
although my acquaintance with General
Toombs, at the time, was limited to ordi
nary salutations. The reply received
rather surprised me.
In Ids letter. General Toombs stated
that he was just on the point of starting
for the Virginia .Springs, hut that, on his
return tic would take pleasure in afi'ording
tlie desired assistance. He further wrote
that In minting the loan, he would do so
solely on the faitli lie laid in my Integrity;
that lie regarded Ml'. Henry W. Grady as
without any conception whatever of what
constitutes principle, and that Is- lmd no
faith In the honor of It. A. Alston; hut
from the course I hadnursued as manag
ing editor of tlie Herald, tie did not !
lieve 1 was amenable to Improper influ
ences, and hence he would make the loan.
*##**
On the evening of my last interview
with General Toombs, anil in the presence
of Mr. Henry XV. Grady, the General used
this language:
“Gentlemen," he said, “lain lending you
this money solely because I admire the
courage and independence you have ills-1
played in the management of the Herald. ;
You have proven to the public that you |
cannot In' purchased, and that you arc not!
In the interest of any clique or ring, or
corrupt combination. As tong as you pur
sue the line of policy you have so far fol
lowed. you can have the use of my money;
but," he added with emphasis, “Lho day
you betray me by abandoning that line of
poliev, I shall exact the last dollar from
you.''
********
At any rate, a few weeks after I hail left
it the entire policy of the Herald was
changed. Men and measures 1 luul con
demned were praised; men ami measures
I had praised were condemned. The out
spoken independence, the absolute free
dom from outside influences, and its frank
discussion of all public questions, which
iiad iieen Uio characteristics of the paper,
and had given It both circulation and rep
utation, lmd given place to a line of policy
which made it the defender nnd'apologist
of corruptionists, and the toil and mouth
piece of men whom I had, thank heaven,
alienated.
11l fine, tlie very reasons which had injla
eni'ed lint. Toombs lo lend as four thousand
dollars had ceased In exist, and a line el'
policy inaugurated diametrically imposed
lo timt which had won Ids friendship and
received his aid.
********
Learning from the. General that the
money lmd not Ini'll paid and remember
ing that the paper had violated its com
pact, I iiocame uneasy on account, of my
surety. On my return to Atlanta, 1 wroli-
General Toombs, and Siam after saw him
ill person, when 1 learned these facts:
First that the money had not been re
paid.
Seeond -Timt every effort to obtain a
settlement lmd been unsuccessful.
Third That General Toombs could ob
tain no replies to ills letters to Alston A
Grady.
Fourth Timt when lie eume to Atlanta
they would not come near him.
Fifth That, as he could not even obtain
respectful treatment from them, lie had
instituted legal proceedings to recover ids
money.
As 1 was personally ootieerin <1 in the
matter, lat once interested myself. 1 saw
It. A. Alston and urged Idm to make some
settlement. He replied that if General
Toombs was not satisfied with ttie prope
sition made to him, he could do as lie
phased.
That proposition was, 1 believe, timt
General Lx,nibs should cancel tlie inert
gage and take all interest In tlie paper, it
was peremptorily declined.
****** **
I desire it understood that tlie loan mad*'
by General Toombs to us was only paid by
General Toombs obtaining another ioaii
for R. A. Alston. Even alter tlie cheek
was sent to General Toombs, he told me
tiiat lie would willingly pay 81,000 to be
assured that tile llank of Washington
would ever get paid; timt if the bank was
not paid by R. A. Alston lie was in honor
bound to protect it from loss, in fine, lie
jmumeni lo him was no payment at all.
It was stated to me yesterday timt tbe
bank has been paid. If so, it "lias been
paid quite recently.
To sum up tho whole of a rather long
story, the facts arc these:
First. General ToomlM lent me and mv
partners $4,000 because he approved the
course we liail pursued, telling us frankly
that while he hail no favors to ask of us.
if wo abandoned that course lie would
abandon us.
(Second- The paper did abandon tlml
course and began abusing General Toombs,
who had Uuuiril it $4,000.
Third General Toombs demanded his
money, hut could not get it.
Fourth -General Toombs, after months
of delay and putting off, rather than de
stroy the paper, generously obtained a
loan for R. A. Alston to enable him te pnv
the debt,
F'iftli In return for this double obliga
tion tho Herald abuses Goti. Toombs, and
calls him n Sliylock,
Sudi are the facts of tin- ease. lam no
champion of Gen. Toombs lie docs not
need a champion. I am merely a man
grateful to him for the kindness lie lias
shown me and tlie obligation lie has plan'd
me under, and this gratitude prompts me
to let the truth tic made known. That the
Herald lmd acted treacherously toward
Gen. Toombs is undeniable; that he hail
acted in a princely manner toward it is
also true. When with a word lie could
have destroyed it, lie generously helped
them to pay himself. Was tills collecting
money like‘a Shyloek* Did Slivtoek carry
Antonio to another capitalist and negotiate
a ham for him, so us to enable Antonio to
pay him?
Wien all the facts in the case arc consid
ered. I think that the public will decide that
Gon. Toombs acted throughout in t he most
generous manner, and they will properly
appreoiiite tlie ingratitude embodied In ii
column of abuse of tlie man whose friend
ship they had betrayed after he had given
them substantial evidence id it, and also,
even after they had returned his kin*ln*'.is
witli abuse, not only withheld the bios
Unit would have annihilated them, but ac
tually added to the obligation, and pre
served them, so that, viper-like, they can
strike at him now.
