"body dares to whlsiicr that ‘this is a
“ ‘mistake, and that an occasional murder
“ ‘is committed,’ he places himself in a
“position where he must acknowledge the
“absence of jftstiee "
Tt Is needless to say that the above
extract is from the Enquirer-Sun of
the 27th Inst. We do not notice this
“curious” article in a spirit of bitter
ness, but representing, as we do, the
South and her groat interest, we must
remark on the greut injustice the ar
ticle dues us nil. There can be no
doubt Chat crithe exists here; no
one denies it, and everybody depre
catos It; but does not crime exist in
ali communities,,oven in the wtoretl i
precincts of the loyal North ?
Recognizing this fact,, Is It fair, is it
magaanimous, to brand Columbus I
and thoHoutb a lawless und stcepe,1 1
in crime? Wc think not, mul yet it
is done by those coming in the liabil-1
intents of friendship. It might argue
that we agreed with our cotemi>orary
were we to remain silent, and not
promptly give way to our feelings |
and to truth in an emphatic denial
of such serious charges as are em
braced ill the above tirade, for it is
slanderous upon the fuir name of Co
lumbus, as well as upon the bright
escutcheon of Georgia. It is a reflec
tion most serious upon our judiciary,
and our people who serve upon ju
ries, that is met by tiie just indigna
tion of the people.
While, as we have admitted, crime
exists here, it does not exist in tho ]
manner, and to tho extent, as charged j
in the above article, and such writ- j
ings and misrepresentations as that |
have been the main cause of retard
ing progress and prosperity in this |
down-trodden land. We ask the enn
did render whether, there is any dif
ference between this article from the
Enquirer-Run and the slanderous!
speech of the hdiunous Logan? Does j
not the South, from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, resent such charges
made in the National Congress?
Then, pray, wiiy should they not be
condemned when they emanate from
men professedly our friends? The
Enquirer gives such to the world in a
missionary spirit, to tell us of our un
civilized condition, and to what wc
must aspire in order to be numbered
among the great arid the glorious;
while Logan says the same thing,
gathered from Radicals and Ignorant
negroes, to debase and persecute us.
But It, is not true. We are not red
handed murderers, bullies and cut
throats, but we are a brave and gen
erous people, who have advanced out
of the reaeh of New England and her
infernal iHius, and, thank God, arc
not in accord with a people who would
condemn a man without a fair trial.
The manner in which the Enqnirer-
Snil makes its calculations is odi
ous, for tiie sufficient reason that
they are bused upqn an idle presump- j
tlon. If one or two men are killed i
in one week, is it fair or just that we
shall naturally conclude that the
same thing will happen twice during
the next ttfty-two weeks? In the Ku
fliula riot, where twenty were killed
in a single dy, we might, with equal
propriety say that in seven days there
would be ouo hand rod and forty kill
ed. No! such reasoning is based
upon a pfbpbsiflbn which may be
right to-day, but no earthly prospect
of holding good to-morrow.
Again they say:
“Within the last six weeks four men ha ve
"died bv violent means in our good city of
"Columbus two by pistols anil two hv
“knives. One of these, we should remark
“In passing, was a negro.”
To ttiis we give an emphatic eWnlal.
No such number of homicides has
been committed in the eitij of Culum
bus, and there is no excuse for such
reckless assert ions, particularly when
it ia remembered that all of this mi hi
chastisement is “for the good of tiie
South.” Such things, coming from
journals published ostensibly in tho
interest of tho South, do more harm
in one (lay than all the good the
“emigrants” and “capital” tho En
quirer can bring to us in fifty years.
The jieoplo of Cafupituis must
weary of such disinterested advice,
especially when the occasion for It
does not exist, and when by such gra
cious offerin','* the '-oinnnmity is
slandered. No reasonable citizen
objects to any one saying there are
some murders committed among us;
but tho people rise in indignation
when tho world is wilfully told that
crime here is “a natural outgrowth
of tho climate, like cotton.” Such
waiting shows a want of appreciation
of hospitality, and an utter disregard
of facts and the sentiment of the
community.
Give to the world the facts yea,
even if there be an hundred murders
committed—but we solemnly protest,
in the name of justice and in behalf
of the community, to having record
ed against us that we uphold crime,
and that our judges and our juries
are corrupt.

Atlanta, Jan. ail, lnVi.
Things in general wear about the
same aspect as they did when I last
wrote. While a great number of new
Dills have been Introduced in both
branches of the Legislature, nothing
of any great Interest or startling im
(Kirtuuee has made its ap|>eaiunee.
The old question of a Constitution
al Convention was sprung in the .Sen
ate on yesterday, by Mr. Reese. He
wants to have tiie question fairly put
before the people and let their choice
be law.
Tho bill is virtually tiie same us
that, which created such a stir last
session. It has many advocates, but,
a hot fight will undoubtedly lie had
on it.
Perhaps tke greatest obstacle to tiie
success of the project, is tiie gival op
position which exists in Atlanta and
its vicinity. The people will not hear
to the idea of a Convention. They
suppose that tiie question of remov
ing the Capital would come up if one
should he called and they are In no
humor to have the seat of govern
ment taken from their midst. Sena
tor Reese is a strong man and will
push the bill with all his might, but
he will have a strong opimsition in
j the Legislature and a much stronger
antagonism from the citizens, How
! ever, a treat is expected when the bill
! comes up for discussion, tl proposes
I an important step and tiie represent
i atives of the people would do well to
earefidly and earnestly consider it.
Mr. Candler has introduced in the
House a bill identical with that of
, Mr. Reese. He proposes to have tiie
election to be hold in April, und the
Convention to meet in July.
Mr, Baker has joined the ranks of
| tempo-ram** reformers. Uc struck a
1 heavy Wuwut King Alcohol when he
introduced a bill on yesterday to
make the inordinate use of liquor a
misdemeanor. There is some philos
ophy in the idea and if the bill is
passed, it will at least increase tiie
business of the magistrates all over
i t he State.
Mr. Brown has introduced a bill to
! establish merchants and factors liens,
j The bill makes a provision which lias
j been loudly called for during the past
six months. The Atlanta merchants
1 had a long discussion on tiie subject
not long since. It is thought that the
; re-establishment of the Lien law will
j enable the farmers to get credit, and
relieve them materially. Anything
: that promises a suspension of the
present great financial stringency is
exceedingly refreshing.
It is now pretty certain that Ren
Hill will be sent to Congress from tho
Ninth District, His friends in tiie
| city are very anxious for his election,
I and w ill do all in tlielr power to “ship
j him to Washington.” He seems to
I liuve tjvo or three opponents in the
I northern partpf his District, mm re
sult is awaited with much anxiety,
| not only by the people of the Ninth,
I but by the whole State.
I cannot close this letter without
alluding to one of the most useful in
stitutions of this city. I refer to its
Young Men’s Library. The associa
tion was formed some seven years
ago, and it lias already achieved won
derful success. Tiie hull has just
been greatly improved and presents
a charming appearance. The shelves
are filled with over six thousand vol
umes, all of them good, several very
i valuable. The general appearance
J of the rooms is an honor to the asso
; elation, and to Air. Charlie Herbert,
! tho jierfeet librarian who lias so sue-
I eessfully tilled his present position
j since tiie organization of tho library,
j Every city needs just such an insti
! tution. With determination and lib
i erality, and such a man to supervise
I it, as they have here, a library could
succeed almost anywhere.
Hon. AY in. 11. Sparks, a gentleman
I of considerable reputation, will deliv
! or a lecture, at the request of many
prominent citizens, on Thursday
night, upon the “Life and Services of
S. 8. Prentiss.” Col. Sparks is a man
of wonderful information. His theme
is good, ami he is a lecturer of ac
knowledged ability. We are safe in
predicting that a treat is in store for
those who hear him. Occasion.)i„

AYe clip the following eommuniea-
I tion from the Savannah Adrer/iser:
There is a bill before the Legisla
ture of Georgia, which l hear has al
: ready passed the Senate.setting aside
! some of the vital conditions of insur
ance, and in opposition to which our
i Board of Underwriters and others
j (mostly good men and true) have en
tered a protest, sent, this evening to
i Atlanta to Gen. Lawton,
j Here we have lain, and still lie ig
norant of the conditions of the bill,
‘ but New York telegraphs through the
! President of the National Board that
I all first-class Northern and English
companies will lie withdrawn from
j Georgia if the bill is passed. Hartford
I reports likewise; so that there must
| be something radieally wrong in what
| our Northern and European friends
| hear of its framework to make their
dispatches so peremptory.

AVe are reliable informed that, simi

The recent mysterious meetings of
railroad manager* in Macon and At
lanta, from which all reporters tv?'re
j excluded, and into the secrets of
which no interviewer could pry, were
held, as is now known, for the pur
pose of effecting a practical consoli
dation of all the Southern linos ea-t
of the Mis-issippl river. They were
celled to abolish at one fell blow all
Southern rivalry iu freight rates, and
to give us, under the plea of main
taining a uniform system of tariffs, a
consolidated concern that could dic
tate its own terms. The Macon con
vention, which was held on the 21st
day of last month, was composed of
representatives of sixteen Southern
railroads, or of a capital of $105,000,-
| DU, 'flu' subsequent meeting in this
city, on the 7th lust,, was even more
I largely attended, every important
| Southern line being represented.
I Til" plan adopted is simply tills:
the business of competing ladute is
to be pooled, and distributed in eer
j lain fixed proportion*. These com
peting points were declared to con
sist. of Selinu, Montgomery, Atlanta,
Macon, Augusta, Eiifanla, Dalton,
uSattanooga, Union Springe, Ncw
nun, West Point und Ojielikn. The
rates of division were first fixed, and
then it wits agreed that any road
| which receives triorc than its share
of business at any competing point
; slmil.imlv. receive op the .-turpius ope
I jier cent, per tou ]x-r mile on average
I distances, .and the balance shalbße
| paid over to tho linos that did not get
their share of the business. The fol
j lowing eases sufficiently illustrate
the principles of the distribution :
Atlanta Of cotton shipped from or
through (except from Opelika and be
low), the Central Railroad is to re
ceive <>ne-thtrd, the Georgia Railroad
one-third, aud the Western and Atlan
tic and Atlanta and Richmond Air-
Line one-third.
Augusta Of the traffic between Eas
tern ami coast cities, the Mouth Caro
lina Railroad is to receive sspereem ~
the Central Railroad :t0 iter cent., the
Port Royal Railroad 1H percent., and
the Atlantic Coast-line W f emit.
Macon - -Of freights to RaVitnnati.
the Central is to receive (!(i| per cent,
and the Macon and Brunswick :i:tj
percent. Of freights to Easiern cities
the Alacon and Augusta road is to re
ceive ft per cent., tho Maeon and
. lUun.swick 20 per cent., and tile C'eu
; trill 4U per cent. Of freights from
| Eastern cities, the Macon and Augus
ta is to receive *n per ecu!., aud the
Central 42 per cent.
it is hardly necessary to present all
the details of the plan. A standing
committee of five was appointed to
act os tt court of final resort in all
cases of differences between the enu
tracting roads, and to superintend
the working of the system. Only one
more important resolution was neces
sary- tin- adoption of higher tariffs,
and then the cqnyeutjpu adjourned
sine die.
Wilt tliis combination hold water?
|ftis at least, doubtful. Evidence of
its unsubstantiality can he seen in
the apparent fears of the convention
'itself. It resolved “that all the rail
loads represented should be sotemiitj
■ hound to carry out the measures
I adopted by the convention, and
;in case any railroad should vio
late its obligations, the other roads
! should punish such refractory mem
i her by throwing all the business pos
i siblo into the hands of its rivals.”
I The terms of the bond are certainly
I very strong, but no voluntary eom
j pact was ever strung enough to bind
a soulless corporation whose interests
were in the way of being Injured.
. While the division of business is timr
otighly equitable, or rather while it
j scorns’ to be thoroughly equitable to
' the score of rival managements, the
compact will be kept, but beyond
that jKiint it will proven rope of
sand. A similar combination of
Western railroads lias come to grief,
and if the Southern scheme survive
the winter’s business it will probably
astonish Col. Wodley and all its oth
er projectors. ittautn Constitution.
