cotton, nuainst 8,012 to correßpondlntj date
of lout year a failing off of 1.153 baliw.
-Mr. Enoch Ronfroe, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Crawford
county, died at his rostdeneo on Thurs
day, at. the advanced ago of clghty-tliree
years.
—Quotations of prices in Gainesville:
Extra ftitrlly flour per lb, corn
s®7Sc., wheat 11J001.40, eggs 22<;., but
ter 13®9nc„ chickens n% to 20., cabbage

—The trial of Itenjalnin Styles, in the
Superior Court of Schley county, last
week, resulted lu his conviction of the
manslaughter of Crouch, and his sen
tence 1 1 live years in the penitentiary.
•Beal '■state sold very cheap in Upson
county, at tho Sheriff's sales of last week.
The Snood place containing five hundred
acres of land with good improvements
thereon sold for $1,235, 100 acres of land
sold for *33.
—The llerakl states that tho cotton
now oompressed at Atlanta is shipped di
rect to Europe, and the presses are found
to bo ft great advantage to Atlanta in fa
cliitatlng diroct shipments from that point.
-Wo learn from the Visitor that on
Tuesday last the Sheriff of Harris county
sold the Godwin place, near Whitesvillo,
for *l2O. It contains 710 acres, and em
braces some of the best land in that neigh
borhood.
A serious difficulty occurred at Wood
villo recently, between Calvin Culbreath,
of Oglethorpe county, and Aloe King, a
negro living in the neighborhood, in
which the latter was seriously, if not fatal
ly shot.
—Tho growth of the cotton culture in
North Georgia is shown by tho fact that
one of the warehouses in Gainesville has
already received 1,207 bales this season.
Throe or four years ago no cotton wont
to Gainesville for sale or storage.
—The attorneys for the broken firm of
West, Edwards & Cos., of Atlanta, surren
dered their lawks and papers on Saturday,
and the members of the firm Imprisoned
for contempt were released. A proposi
tion to settle at la cents on the dollar lias
been rejected by tho creditors.
—A negro boy in Savannah, while car
rying a hod up a wall, brought it In con
tact with a needle which was sticking in
his Jacket. The needle was thus driven Into
his breast, and in attempting to draw it
out ho broke off the point, which remains
in his body, and serious results are appre
hended.
—The stierlffof Dawson county adver
tises for sale undor execution “one black
bear about four years old." Down in these
settlements, the necessity of disposing of
such chattels would somewhat dampen
the zeal of aspirants for tho sheriff’s office
and widen the oirclo of attendants at the
sales.
—An arrangement had been made to have
a oock fight In Augusta on the 20th Inst.,
betwoon mains representing the States of
Georgia and Tennessee. But Mayor
Estes gave notice to tho parties interested
that the fight would be prohibited, and
they then resolved that it should come
off outside of the city limits.
—Tho Atlanta Commonwealth notioesa
report, alßi) ourtent here, that Mr. 0. 8,
Nutting, of Macon, has failed, and lias
surrendered Ills dwelling house to his
oreltors. Mr. Nutting, as a member of
tho last Legislature, “did the State some
service" by his successful homo loan
scheme, and his embarraosments will be
widely regretted. He was, wo beliefs,
one of the State Troaurer Jones’ bonds
men.
—The Hawklnsvtlle Dispatch of Thurs
day last, says of tho Gubernatorial can
vass : We hoar this subject discussed but
little. Those who sprain of tho next can
vass, express themselves as well pleased
with tim administration of Governor
Smith, and would willingly support him
for another term. He would undoubted
ly command the great majority of votes
of this section. Outside of Governor
Smith wc know of no particular choice of
our people.
—Tho Macon Telegraph says that by
tho explosion of the engine of the down
passenger train on the Macon & Bruns
wick Itailroad, at a point half a mile be
low Buzzard Roost, on Friday morning,
Mr. Geo. Hunting, tiie engineer, was
killed instantly. Mr. Ed. Richards, tint
man, was bruised, but not disabled. The
tender “telescoped" the baggage car, and
some damage was done to the passenger
cars, but fortunately none of tho passen
gers were hurt Tho Pullman sleepe r sus
tained no damage.
Mr. Starkweather's postage
amendment bill. Introduced In the
House of Representatives on Friday,
provided that from the first of Janua
ry, 1870, postage shall bo charged on
pamphlets, transient newspupers,
periodical magazines, hand-bills,
posters, unsealed circulars, pros
p ictuses, proof-sheets, and corrected
proof-sheets at tho rate of one cent
for every two ounces or fraction
thereof, and that the postage on all
other mailable matter of the third
class shall remain as now provided
by law.
Tho action of tho House ou the
bill, on Friday, does not by any
means signify t hat it will be defeated
when It comes up on Its own merits.
Tho attempt of Mr. Starkweather to
force action or the bill at once, and
to make It appear as a party measure,
was defeated, but the Democrats op
posing hasty action expressed them
selves as favorable to the reduction
of postage provided for by the bill,
and taunted the Republicans about
the correction of their error in iu
creasing the postage.
There are now seven colored men
in Congress. Three of them could
not read till the war emancipated
them. One, Robert Smalls, served
in the army and navy on both sides.
Sm-RMAN.- Instead of “Sherman’s
Historical Raid,” they now oa.l it
“Sherman’s Raid on History.’’ 'lbis

Tin: TIMISO-A in \ni;k.
As announced on Sunday by the !
retiring proprietors, this paper bus;
passed into the hunds of the under
signed. In assuming Its labors and!
responsibilities, wo do not Intend to j
indulge in any great promises or pre
tensions, but prefer to let the future
of The Times speak for itself. We
desire to say, however, that we In
tend to devote all our time and ener
gies to the work of making it accep
table to its readers and the public
generally, assured that only by do
ing this cun wo hope either to de
serve or win success. Having hud
exjierience in tho business In this
city-knowing something of its ex
penses aud labors as well as its prob
uble Income—we enter upon tbe task
before us with the strongest confi
dence that we wiil be sustained,
“hard" us the times are universally
felt to be. In this confidence we sub
mit our journal to the judgment of
tbe people, aud trust that it will re
ceive the fuvorable consideration of
a liberal public.
We deem It useless to make any
particular explanation of the politi
cal character of tbe paper, or of its
course in reference to local und sec
tional questions. Suffice It to say
that there will be little If any change
In this respect. While our first and
strongest attachment Is for our own
•State, section and people, and while
we shall do all that is In our {lower
to uphold their rights and advance
their interests, we shall advocate no
extreme course that, in our present
condition, would only re-act with
damage upon our own heads. Situa
ted as wo now are, we believe a pru
dent uml conservative course to be
tho course of safety and of assured
ultimate delivery. In regard to lo
cal interests, we shall, as far as our
best judgment will enuble us, advo
cate enterprise without extrava
gance, and progress without reckless
ness. ‘
Intending to increaso the amount
of reading matter in the paper, arid
to make it (if we are übloj fully equal
in interest to any journal published
in tills section of the country, wo
shall, on the Ist of January next, re
turn to the price of other first class
Dailies in the South *8 per annum,
including prepaid postage. Half
yearly, quarterly or monthly sub
scriptions will be taken at the same
rates. All cash paying-subscribers
for 1876 will, if they commonoo now,
have tbe paper for the small balance
of this year thrown In.
Thos. K. Wynne,
John 11. Martin.
Tbe Reason Why.
Some of our friends are curious to
know why we exchanged our position
on the Enquirer for the ono upon
which wo have now en'ered. There
Is no secret about it. We have done
It simply in the hope of thereby im
proving our condition. For nearly
nineteen years we have been laboring
us an editor lu Columbus, working
hard and living as frugally us possi
ble, and after all this severe service
we find thut we are worth in worldly
goods but Htle if anything more than
when we came here. If we were a
single man, with no one to care for
but ourself, we might be content to
wear out the remnant of our life in
unprofitable labor, or to retire from
rite business
"LikeCincinnatus, nobly poor;
Like Aristides, just.”
But we feel that we owe a duty to
others, and this impels us to make
the venture in which we have en
gaged. It may bring disappointment
in the end, but we havo faith to be
lieve otherwise, and if faith and liurd
work can achieve success we shall
win it. We still rely upon the gener
ous support of u community that has
judged us kindly in the past,, to up
uold our hauds in tho future.
We trust that we have now suffi
ciently explained the reusous for our
“change of base.”
Our Predecessor*.
In taking charge of the Timm, we
desire pubiijly to express our appre
ciation of the labors of our predeces
sors iu the establishment of the pa
per and working tts way to a large
share of tho confidence and Bupport
of tho people. The editors, though
young men aud without previous ex
l>erieuoe iu the business, have acquit
ted themselves most creditably by
the ability as well as the pluck and
perseverance which they have dis
played. The Times lNisses into our
hands with a most excellent repute,
and we trust with a hold upon the
regards of the people that will insure
for it a long and prosinsrous career.
The proprietary printers, too, have
most faithfully aud assiduously stood
by their posts through difficulties
aud embarrassments which all new
newspaper establishments have’ to
encounter, and which must have been
especially trying In such a period of
depression as that through which we
are now passing. We tuke pleasure
in announcing that they are still at
their posts and will give to the jiaper,
as heretofore, their unremitting at
tention.
It is stated that Southern Radical
Congressmen have broadly iutimated
to their Northern associates that if
they want to carry any of the South
ern States in the next Presidential
election, they must admit Piuehbaek,
make tiie pilociple of the defcael
Force bill a part of their party plat
form, and put a colored man on the
ticket forthe Vice Presidency. There
may seem to be a good deal of “as
sutnacy” in this, but that is character
istic of thecarjiet-bagand negro Con
gressmen. Their clamors and threats
were what compelled the party re
luctantly to attempt the passage of
the Force bill at the last session, aud
constrained much of its other legisla
tion that produced the re-action of last
year. The carpet-baggers will cer
tainly furnish rope eno mh if the
Radical patty wants to bang itself.
i A kew fonncctln* I,lnc tor (oltiinhio..
It Is not every city or section that
is benefited- by a multiplicity of
railroads. Actual experience shows
that while tbe termini of competing
lines derive great advantages from
the comiietition, cities or towns along
either line, so situated that they are
left ut tho mercy of only one, are
levied upon to mtike up for losses In
curred in transportation to points
that can avail themselves of either
or both. This is unfortunately tbe case
with Columbus,all of whose railroads,
though radiating in nearly every
direction, are under the control of the
Centrul. Not a package of through
freight can reach us from tile North,
East or West, without passing over
a section of tho Centrul Railroad.
That road is engaged iu a sharp com
lajtition with oilier lines for the
through freight of middle and south
ern Georgia, and all cities so situated
as to reap tiie advantages of tlie com
iietition enjoy the benefit of very low
rates of freight, while cities depen
dent us Columbus is ou one of them’
are forced to “pay too dearly for their
tstearn) whistles.” They are thus
made tributurv to tbe prosperity or
more favored cities. A schedule o
freight rates from Bt. Louis to the
several Southern cities (which we
find in a late St. Louis paper.) snows
just how this is done. According to
this schedule, the following are rates
of through freights by the car load
from St. Louis to the Southern cities
named:
Bacon Flour Grain
period. per bill. period.
Atlanta 5s 40 18
Augusta .. . 80 1.20 tin
savannah *5 00 45
Montgomery ti.s 1.00 80
Macon 65 1.30 . C 5
Columbus . 80 1.30 65
Selma 68 1.00 80
It will be seen that all these {daces
are more favored than Columbus,
though Columbus occupies a locution
between them, und nearer to St.
Louis by rail than several of them.
But no other one of these cities is
entirely dependent on one railroad ub
ours is, and to this circumstance alone
can we attribute the discrimination
against us. It is thus made apparent
that the multiplicity of railroad lines
connecting the North and West with
the South is a disadvantage rather
titan a benefit to Columbus, because
if there was only one. we would have
to {>ay pro rata according to distance:
but there being two or three to divide
and compete for the freights, we are
charged above a fair {airportlou to
make up for losses ineurredby inad
equate rates to {Miiuts enjoying the
benefits of the competition.
The completion of the Savannah &
Memphis itailroad may iu time re
lieve Columbus from this invidious
coutribmlon. But thut is a consum
mation of the uncertain future. We
ure glad to team that there is now an
opportunity for Columbus to secure
another and an Independent through
line in a very short time. The Su
vannah & Charleston Itailroad and
the Atlautic & Gulf Railroad have
effected a close connection at Savan
nah. The first-named railroad con
nects wilh a Charleston and New
York line of steamers, and the last
named railroad affords an unbroken
line from Savannah to Buiubridge.
Columbus lias therefore only to sup
ply the gap between this city and
Bniubridge to enjoy the advantages
oi anew through freight line to the
North ; ami by this connection with
a Northern port we might come in
for a share In the cheap freights be
tween the West and the North. This
cun be done by the purchase of a
light-draught steamer to make regu
lar trips between Columbus and Bain
bridge. This line would ulso accom
odate a local trade that, would bo of
advantage to our city, We have
doubtless suffered much by not avail
ing ourselves as much as formerly of
tho navigation of tho river, and we
may by this connection afford great
facilities for both through and local
freights, and materially reduce the
rates of the former. We trust that
our enterprising business men will
take into consideration the desirubil
ity of establishing regular uitvigatiou
between Columbus and Bainbridge
and effecting a connection ut Bain
bridge with anew and inde|>eudent
through line of transportation to the
North.
A dispatch of the 9th inst. from
St. Louis, alluding to llio dismissal
of Mr. Henderson us prosecuting
counsel iu the whiskey Hug cases,
says: “It arouses suspicion here
that the authorities in Washington
meau, If they can, to break down
the case agaiust General Babcock,
or at least do all they dare in that di
rection. If Mr. Heuderson is drop
ped, it is more than likely that his
associates will feci compelled to fol
low him, and thus leave tiie cases
against McKee. Maguire, Muun and
General Babcock mainly in new
hands. In view of the intimate
knowledge the present prosecutors
have of the evidence this would be
a very serious blow to the success
ful prosecution of any of these im
portant cuses." Other accounts
state that orders had been sent, from
Washington that the evidence
agaiust Babcoek shou Id be turned
over to the military commission.
But that, commission itself declined
to take the ease out of the civil juris
diction, by postponing its investiga
tion until tbe civil court could take
up the case.
Fast Time,
On Wednesday evening, while the
Louisville Short Line train was pok

senger stopiwd the brakeman us he
was going through and asked:
“How fast does this train go? A
mile an hour?”
"It goes fast enough to suit us. If

“I would,” replied the disgusted
passenger, sitting back in the corner
of his seat, "but my friends won’t

THE TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14,187:).
|:l| led Poverty—*rreilltu*jr Kurins
n liirutm*.
Eil'dorx rimes;—From an editorial
which recently appeared in your
journal you seem to attribute all of
our finencinl ills to one common
cause—“that of the farmer borrow Ing
money on which to run a crop at
such a rale of interest us -o preclude
the utter possibility of tiie farmer
ever extricating himself from the gi
ant gruspof the merciless percenter.”
Ho far, so good, but the {dan of salva
tion nflered by you is, to say the least
nf it, a bold measure. "To give up
all but the homestead” in your State
is like the Dutchman selling his
“leetle dog” und reserving all but his
tail. Now wc don’t expect to grow
eloquent nor more wise than several
nr more Solomons, but we ure some
what inclined to the opinion that we
have a right to differ with you and
also the high tribunal which gives
i lie homestead to your offspring us
an heritage hereditary. Hereditun
titles and hereditary property to one
in this enlightened ago seem i little
odd, unless he has been quoting to
some extent “Brown on tiie Eng list)
Crown.”
Grant’s imperial edict, in which he
attempts to introduce another Eng
lish custom, not Biown’s- but that
of compulsatory education, is
a twin-brother to the learned
edict of our Supremo Court-,
which in her unsullied wisdom says
“n homestead is an hereditary heri
tage.” Now let us take the great
prosperous State of Kentucky ami her
law und compare it to Georgia and Al
abama ou the subject. Ist Kentucky
says: “what thou owest thou must
pay.” Georgiasays; what thou owest
thou canst owe with impunity, for
t hou art clothed in all tiie regal splen
dor of an English law which gives
you a homestead regardless of your
debts, which no arm or branch of our
common law dare attach. In other
words, if you onwn a (deco of land iu
Kentucky and contract a debt and
refuse to pay the same, ail the party
has to do who holds tiie claim is to
commence suit, and that very mo
ment ho has already a judgement a
gainst the property in question.
What Is the moral effeu ? and moral
effect shapes tiie destinies of men
and measures. Why to say the least
of it, it gives tone aud strength to the
credit system; man has confidence
iu man ; money goes begging, there
fore laud* are the best collaterals
which the country affords. Ho it
should bo in Georgia, as you wisely
suggest, but then it. is not so, and
why ? Simply because no man cun
afford to become at tbe one and tiie
same time a money lender aud insu
rance company. To lend money
under tiie present law of Georgia
would be to commend one’s self
to tiie world its a great second Pea
body, the philanthropist. It would
belike issuing a policy without a
premium. We see In Kentucky her
solid, stalwart sons, honest toilers of
tier own soil; and why? Because,
with her just ami equitable laws, they
go to the plow, fearful of contracting
debts which might sweep away this
inheritance; they shake their heads
at thriftless negroes and vagrant
whites, to whom they refuse food and
shelter with a hope of an expected
reward (as iu Georgia the farmers
do , which, I am sorry to say, never
comes; and why it never comes, in
Georgia or Alabama, is simply owing
to t heir own bad laws. A farmer goes
to liis factor and plants for so much
credit—not bales; this is tin' great
mistake you make. He goes home,
and it’s “heads I win, tails you lose”
with him that is, if be makes cotton
enough, and feels inclined, lie pays
hi? factor; if not, the factor can take
it out in running him another year—
when tiie farmer again plants for a
second credit; and so on till the fac
tor calls liis hand only to find the
English “knave,” which, iu future,
must wiu iu the game of confidence,
which now improves under tiie sanc
tion of law emanating front the head
tribunal of a State opposed to a cen
tral despotism.
