One tiling: is certain “there is no murder In this land. Jinny "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. —Dawes, tiie new United Slates Senator from Massachusetts, is said to bo the very image of Rev. U. W. Howard, of this Slate. off \Ti.Avrt i.r.Trru. special (‘vmup'ivV acu Daily Time*.] 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.

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.

Credit is due to Messrs.

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.
