THE DAILY TIMES. LARGEST DAILY OIRODLATIOH I* lily iwd Mnburba. JOHN 11. MARTIN, • - - Kdltr. C'ulumbua, Uu.. TUESDAY ■ PECEMF,H 14. 1878 i>nKvKn tKDRUit m;i. —Bain bridge hns received 2,000 bales of 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 li@2c., per lb.t —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 is a neat way of couveying the lie di rect as well as circumstantial.—. A ugusta Constitutionalist, 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 ing along towards Lexington, a pas 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 you don’t like the rate of speed get out and walk.“was the rejoinder. “I would,” replied the disgusted passenger, sitting back in the corner of his seat, "but my friends won’t Come to me until the train gets in, and I don’t want to ha waiting around the depot for two or three hours.” '1 h • brakeman p tssi and on. -Lex ng ton Dispatch. 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.
