CHEAP THANSPOHTATIO.V
Tin; ri.UI.EOAD WAR AND ITS BESCLTH.
For several years past the question
of cheap transportation has been a
popular themo throughout the coun
try .especially so in the South; conven
tion after convention, legislatures and
granges without number have adopt
ed resolutions, but as the partici
pants did not control a foot of rail
way it all resulted in much talk and no
relief. There was more accomplish
ed in behalf of cheap transportation
in two hours in the city of Baltimore,
in November last, when Mr. John W.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, declined the request
of Tom Scotty Jewett, of the Erie, and
Vunderbilt,of the New York Central,
to join In the Saratoga combination
than can be accomplished by conven
tions and resolutions in a century.
About a year ago Torn Bcott at
tempted to regulate railroad matters
in the East to suit his own arrogant
and selfish views, und became there
by involved In a war with the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad'Company. Af
ter three mouths ho was forced to
corao to Mr. Garrett’s terms and fur
nish that able railroad manager the
facilities demanded. The Baltimore
& Ohio closed its fiscal twelve months
with its usual dividend and added
throe million dollars to its surplus
fund. Had we not seen Mr. Scott’s
wild, reckless and disastrous policy,
under the guise of the Southern Se
curity Company, we would wonder at
his temerity at again entering the
arena against Mr. Garrett, notwith
standing tils (Scott’s) mortification
and chagrin at being blocked in his
effort at monopoly anil extortion.
Int he present status of the new con
test there is a very general inquiry in
the public mind as to which company
will prove victorious. The people take
the part of the Baltimore & Ohio with
remarkable unanimity, but the real
question which must settle the issue
Is the finane.ial condition of the cor
porations concerned. Wo, therefore,
give the financial showing of the four
great trunk lines, compiled from their
last annual reports :
OAT I TAT, STOCK.

ltaltimoro A Ohio 30,578,032 so
Tile rental on leased lines is:
Pennsylvania Railroad $3,249,671 70
Baltimore A Ohio Railroad. 475,420 55
It will bo seen that the Pennsylva
nia Railroad's liability, in excess of
the Baltimore & Ohio's, is $74,712,-
220 93, upon which not less than 7 i>er
cent, must paid, and that with very
little, if any more mileage, it pays
*2,775,245 15 more rental. But more
significant than all this, is the fact
that the Baltimore & Ohio has great
ly the shortest line, with the finest
terminal facilities in the world, and a
surplus fund three million dollars
greater than its entire liability. If
Tom Scott does not let Mr. Garrett
alone lie will bankrupt himself and
his company, if we may judge of the
matter from their resjiootive financial
ability.
Tbf. Extra Session of Congress,
The President Ims called an extra
session of the Senate, and not of the
House, on March sth, which leaves
the casual reader to understand that
the House lias finished their business,
but that there is uliflnisJiod business
to be brought up by the Senate. We
think his call means more dirty work
for the South. We hoi>e the Presi
dent will not attempt to cover up his
policy towards the South, and the
anticipations of a third term, but
come out boldly and give us to under
stand what we may expect after the
adjournment of Congress.
The Administration Preparing.
It is pretty evident that the Adminis
tration party intends to fight the war
over again in the next Presidential
campaign. All of the Government
advertising organs are, to judge from
their editorials, in deadly fear that a
socond rebellion may break out at
any moment. Indeed, the simulta
neous manner in which these war
dreading effusions have appeared in
various parts of the country suggest
the possibility that the editorial man
ufactory at Washington, which sus
pended for want of business some
time ago, has been put in operation,
again.
Pinchbaok and his friends were ra
ther “set back” on the vote of 39 to

in order to consider more important

Washington Citv, Feb. 19,1875.
I committed a letter for your col
umns, to the care of u young freed
man at Montgomery, Ala. He agreed
for a consideration, to put it aboard
of the Columbus train. I have no
idea it ever reached you, for nothing
short of a miracle could have carried
him safely through the sea of mud
which had almost suspended all com
munication between the Exchange
Hotel and the depot. Montgomery
has
CITY WAVS,
if her principal thoroughfare is un
paved. Anew market house has just
been finished, largo enough for Lou
isville. In addition, the city boasts
water works and a street railroad. I
started to walk to the depot, when I
met a street ear moving along to
wards the hotel. I, in mere jest, pro
posed to the driver to carry me to my
destination; when, to my astonish
ment, he stopped, changed his mule
to the other end, and directed me to
get aboard. This was greater accom
modation than I had ever met before.
Taking the ears for Louisville, I
saw one of the
SADDEST SIGHTS
imaginable. As we approached Ca
lera, the point of intersection with
the Selma, Rome & Dalton Road, f
noticed an old, grey-headed passen
ger, who was under intense excite
ment. While the train remained at
the junction his emotion was painful
ly apparent. He was accompanied by
a little girl, eight or ten years of ago,
whoso innocent prattle smote every
heart who knew her sad history. It
seems that the old man—herJather —
had been employed for years on the
Selma, Rome & Dalton ns a carpenter.
A few months ago he learned his
WIFE’S SHAME,
and although he never ceased his
efforts, ho was only able to secure his
daughter a few days ago. Ho ha t
stolen her away from the deluded
wife and mother, and when she failed
to Intercept him atCalora, ho seemed
relieved of a great apprehension. No
one save tho conductor, who pur
chased his ticket for him, knew his
destination.
I rode to Decatur with the car win
dow hoisted. Imagino the transition
when I awoke in Louisville next
morning to find everything out-doors
FROZEN STIFF.
Louisville is one of the handsomestj
cities south of Cleveland, especially j
that portion of it allotted to the resi- j
deuces, with its inevitable and beau
tiful yards. The city shows evidences
of growth in every direction. As I j
railed along towards Cincinnati I :
could see nothing but ice, when my
frosted window allowed me to see
anything. In the city itself the streets i
were
FILLED WITH FIRES,
trying to thaw the water pipes. J was 1
told that in many of the blocks not a J
hydrant was in running order.
At Cincinnati T met the railroad

unanimity with which the people
supported the
BALTIMORE & OHIO.
From every quarter came expressions
of sympathy with Mr. Garrett’s posi
tion, and denunciations of the grasp
ing, monopolizing spirit always
shown by Tom Scott, of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. I left Cincinnati with
a large number of passengers, but the
careful and watchful management
provided additional ears as long as a
seat or berth was wanted. The ben
efit to the public of the war is
CHEAT FARE,
inaugurated by Mr. Garrett; but my
satisfaction did not end there. From
tho luxurious ears I enjoyed scenery
which held me entranced. Words
ami phrases, marshalled as you may,
would fail to convey its enchanting
grandeur. I wonder that more pas
sengers from Georgia do not try the
route by Louisville and the Baltimore
& Ohio. It has

to add a single reference to matters

HON. A. 11. STEPHENS.
I found him very feeble. He spends
his days on a lounge in a room adja
cent to his bed-room. It is a sad
sight to see this intellectual giant
stricken by his physical ailments.
He never expects to leave his room
again. He grows eloquent in his de
nunciation of the Louisiana outrage.
He proposed at one time to embody
his views in a written protest, to be
read by his friend, Mr. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, but being a member of
the House, it was abandoned as out
of the rule. He says

of excitement and fraught with woe
to the South.

MAIIION COUNTY.
FARM 1318 WIDE AWAKE.
I Mr. Editor: Having returned to
| the city aftor u three days travel in u
buggy through the adjoining coun
ties of Chattahoochee and Marlon,
and being forcibly Impressed by the
manifestations of life and energy in
tho country people, ns evidenced by
the material and much needed im
provements that have been made
during the rainy days since Christ
mas on the farms, I thought I would
pen you a few lines as encouragement
to other farmers and to the despond
ing merchants, who think we are
financially ruined.as a jwople and
doomed to an eternal life of bank
ruptcy, without the probability of
ever being restored to independence
and prosperity.
The facts upon which so hopeful a
future is predicated are these: The
first and most apparent evidence is a
deduction of contentment and satis
faction, coupled with the intention
to make their farms their homes,
having banished the delusive dream
of making a fortune in a year, and
moving off to the West, that was so
popular a few years ago; but to the
contrary they have awakened to tin
reality that their lands with a few
mules is all the property they are
worth, and if they neglect their lands,
houses, fences, &c., then their prop
erty is wasted and depreciated in
value almost worthless. Acting up
on this principle, the contagion has
spread abroad, through the entire
settlements, and for miles your eyes
are greeted with the pleasant sight of
fences of twelve to fifteen rails in
height, the new rails striping them
with a dazzling splendor beautiful to
behold, reminding one of ante helium
days wliefi prosperity ruled supreme.
Nor is this all; the decaying roofs on
dwellings, and chimneys that stood
as limberly as a drunken man against
a wall, are being repaired; gardens,
vineyards, and orchards are being
more tenderly cared for, by the at
tentions of the pruning knife, plow
and hoe, clearly demonstrating that
because a man lives in the country he
is not regardless of the comforts and
luxuries of life, and that in future
they intend to live on their farms, and
not simply sojourn there.
The weather has been very unfavor
able for ploughing, consequently the
fanners are a little behind former
years in the preparation of lands for
planting, though, with mules in so
much better condition than formerly,
and homemade eorn and fodder in
the crib, the farmers think it a mat
ter of little import.
I The grain crop, wheat, rye and
I oats, is small, yet it is looking very
well, healthy, with a good stand, and
a larger area planted than last fall.
The all-cotton and no corn policy is
very unpopular, ami is defended only
by those who aro in debt and expect
to pay out in one year by making a
large cotton crop—delusive dream.
Will men never learn from experi
| eneo what they refuse to learn from
reason and common-sense?
COTTON BALES IN SIGHT.
In a travel of eighty miles, on dif
ferent roads and through the best,
farming lands in Marion county, your
correspondent saw only five bales of
cotton, three of which were owned by
farmers running small farms upon
the self-sustaining principle, and af
ter inquiry could hear of only eight
more to he marketed. Our warehouse
men may expect small receipts from
Marion county for the remainder of
the season.
homestead and lien laws.
The intelligent expression of senti
ment, was in favor of the reduction of
the Homestead to five hundred dol
lars in realty, and three hundred in
personalty, if it could lie constitu
tionally accomplished. The people
have seen, as all intelligent people
will see, the ruinous consequences of
a law which lias a tendency to accu
mulate debt by the protection of
property, upon the existence of which
; said debt was contracted, not even
j taking into consideration the eonse
! quent effect upon the morals of a
; people.
1 The action of the Legislature in re
fusing to re-enact the Lien law is
; unanimously endorsed. The farmers
! are determined to live at home, and
| to negotiate their farming operations
j upon the self-sustaining principle,
i which experience and observation
points out as the only royal road to
i independence and prosperity.
This, Mr. Editor, is a bright and
! pleasant picture to look upon, but, as
I with all pictures, it presents some sad
I reflections, chief among which is the
! truth, that it is not tho universal pol
i icy of the fanners of our land to make
their farms self-sustaining, to utilize
the time and labor on the material
Improvements of their farms, in or
der that their values may be enhanc
ed, and that real estate, lands. &0., as
property, may no longer be degraded,
| and that the calling of the farmer
! may present to the mind a life of
i health, independence and prosperity.
The farmers of Marion are striking in
[the right direction, and if the all-rul
ing hand of Providence will but send
the “early and latter rains in due sea
son,” the future will be well with
them. Yours, truly, H.
P. S. By way of encouragement to
our meat dealers, who have large
stocks oil hand, I will say that the
hogs were nearly as few as the cotton
j bates iu sight—don’t know how much
j was in the smoke-houses. H.

i prevails in Williamson county in tLis j
