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. New York Central.

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 22 In the Senate to postpone his ease in order to consider more important and necessary subjects of legislation concerning the interests of the coun try. PinchbaeK has two certificates of election but both are fradulent. —The cotton season about Albany is over. A good deal of sickness is reported there, and many deaths. NOW ANU THEN. Montgomery's Need -A Bad time Odd Weather—The Jtailroad War-The Old Reliable Baltimore A Ohio Mr, Bteghins and the Imtisiana Outrage His Health, S, rial Correupondtsuca Daily Timer.] 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 war. It was wonderful to see the 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 BUT ONE CHANGE between Atlanta and New York, against four via Virginia. Added to its other charms should bo counted the sumptuous meal stations, owned by tho company, together with the 1 perfect security which its excellent management assures to travelers. i have only been here long enough to add a single reference to matters at the Capital. I called upon 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 GRANT IS SPITEFUL and small in his recent policy, under which he has opposed Ins will tho will of one man -against the expressed sentiment of the entire nation. If I am able to remain here, I w ill let you hear of the declining days of the session, which promise to be full of excitement and fraught with woe to the South. BEnoH. -There is a philanthropist in New York by the name of Bergli, who has had a man sent to Black well’s Island for three months for killing a cat, the man’s wife and chil dren in the meantime exposed to star vation. This is n fair specimen of Puritan humanity. To remedy a small evil, it always inflicts a greater. The name of Bergh ought to be Bug— Tumble-Bug; except that it would be an additional cruelty to animals to have him designated by their name. 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. j The lower house of the Wisconsin 1 Legislature has passed a bill for the purchase of two hundred Webster’s Unabridged Dictionaries, to be fur nished to members. Postage stamps arc no longer accepted in liquidation of board bills, but dictionaries are. The Washington Capital of Monday says that the President designs an j armed occupation of States enough j to re-eleet himself in 1876. It adds that the sole remedy is armed resistance. ! He also intends to get the appropria- I tions made for two years ahead. (IE6UII NEW*.
