In last Wednesday’s Times we pub lished the long-looked-for reply of the Board of Directors of the Central Railroad to the petitions of their em ployes, requesting an increase in pay, and that important document has at- j tracted no little attention. That re ply is certainly one of the most care ful and non-committal pieces of com position which we have seen in print in many a day. Several of the im portant points contained therein are undoubtedly well taken, and have a business ring about them that is indis putable, but we must be pardoned for our apparent journalistic impudence tor differing with the “editors” of that circular in a few points, and we can but note the fact that the circular, as a whole, is somewhat of an enigma. It is shrewdly worded, and “non-com- 1 mittal” was undoubtedly the watch- ■ word of the writer, and in that he has I succeeded most admirably. It says, or, rather the circular, says: "The board must be controlled to a great extent in fixing the rate of pay by the supply and demand for the labor in the various trades.” Now that is a good business argu ment, but at the same time it seems to us that a wealthy corporation like the Central, one that was able to de clare a 47 per cent, dividend at their last annual meeting (40 per cent, scrip, and 7 per cent, cash), might at least take into consideration the im portant fact that every man who is willing to earn a living by the sweat of his brow is certainly entitled to at least enough compensation for his labor to ensure that living. “A fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work” is a motto that can but result advanta geously to both employer and em ploye. The Central is a large and wealthy corporation, and gets an im mense volume of its business from Sa vannah merchants, and, therefore, per force of circumstances, if for no other reason, it must necessarily be deeply interested in Savannah’s welfare, and it is to-day in a better position to aid our city in her onward march to pros perity than either of the other roads having a terminus here, and we know of no better way to encourage the prosperity of any city than by paying the laboring class good wages and giving them plenty of work. Show us a city in which the working class gets good wages, and we will show you a prosperous city and prosperous merchants, but just keep them down to starvation wages, and you will soon see the city and the merchants, too, going down. Again the circular says: “Their investigation develops the fact that the average pay of the men in the several departments of this company, with the exception of the laborers in the roadway department, is above the average rate paid by roads in this and adjoining States; and while this is the case they feel that they are doing their employes I no injustice.” Now that would be a pretty good ■ argument if we could only lose sight I of the sact —and an indisputable fact it is—that living and everything else is higher in Savannah than in any other city on the line of the Central and its numerous tributaries. For instance, a laboring man can get good I board in Macon, Augusta or Atlanta i for 812 per month, while they have to pay from sls to $lB here. A In- | boring man can rent a good, com fortable house in either of the above- | mentioned cities for from $7 to $lO I per month, while here they would have to pay from $lO to sls for a i similar house. Now, that does not j look like very much difference in . prices, but it is “big money” when you go to take it out of a working man’s wages. But take the Board of Directors’ reply, all in all, it is certainly to be commended for its plain, businesslike way in dealing with the subject, as well as its freedom from any attempt whatever to deceive its employes, but we really think the Board would have bit the nail on the head if it had said that some of the employes are over paid, while a good many of them are underpaid and really deserving of a raise commensurate with the great in crease in the actual necessaries of life. Will there be a dead-lock,after all ? The Senate has not as yet acted j upon the Secretaryship. President Arthur attends St. John’s ! Episcopal Church in Washington. Bayard is believed, from his emi nence, to command the field for 1884. Virginia’s killing frost seems to have nipped some of the Readjuster votes. “An’ that’s the pillar of Hercules ?” ; said she, adjusting her silver specta cles. “Gracious, what’s the rest of his bed-clothes like, I wonder ?” Dr. Talmage should reinember that Mormonism has some redeeming fea tures. For instance, it doesn’t throw | the burden of supporting a husband | on one woman. John Kelly, of Tammany Hall: ! “I’m watching the run of the tide. If the Republicans don’t bob up and down to suit me, I’ll withdraw ray ; hooks and lines.” _ Senator Edmunds terms it “the lot tery of assassination.” It is not like ly that he wishes to play the victim in any such scheme. It is not every man who draws a “capital” prize. The Chicago Tribune says the fa tality from the new horse disease, “Pinkeye,” is increasing, and horse men are seriously alarmed. An at tack is frequently followed by lockjaw, and the disorder is becoming very obstinate. The degree of D. D. has been con ferred on the general baggage agent of the Central Pacific. This degree is every day conferred on baggage agents, but two small d’s are consid ered sufficient to express the idea. It is difficult to get the noise out of a boy. Os course, you can get some noise out of him; but you never can draw off his entire supply. Ten 4th of Julys and three circus parades | would leave him just as full as he was | when he began. We re-echo the sentiment of the Thomasville Timex and the Atlanta Constitution: “That every Georgian” —and every American as well — I “should feel a personal interest in the I Atlanta Cotton Exposition.” In our opinion it will be of greater benefit to the South than any enterprise projec ted in the cotton States since the war.

SA V ANN All, (ictober 8, 1881. rjTHE Board of Trustees of the Georgia In .l lirmary or Hospital for colored persons are constrained herewith to appeal to a gener ous public for pecuniary assistance in behalf of the institution committed to their charge. The recent storm on the 28th of August ultimo inflicted extensive and serious damage upon the Hospital building, almost totally destroying the roof, and rendering the upper wards entirely uninhabitable. The repairs ' which have thus been rendered necessary, in order to restore the structure to usefulness, have involved an expenditure which the i limited resources of the institution can ill I afford to meet, ami the Trustees are com pelled therefore to ask for assistance from without. The Board feel assured that, not withstanding the fact that many calls are ina{l£ upon our people, that this appeal in behalf of their trust will meet with that sub stantial recognition which our citizens arc always ready to extend to a worthy object,ami that the unrewarded efforts of the Trustees to minister to the wants and necessities of the | sick poor of our colored population will meet | that appreciation which may justly be ex pected.

AFTER completing a three weeks' brilliant and successful engagement in the Madison Square Gardens, formerly known as the GREAT NEW YORK HIPPODROME build ing, which Mr. COUP built himself in New York in 1874, he is now on his way to the.leading cities of the South with a MA GN I Fit ENT N EVV CONSOLI DAT ION, everywhere admitted t > be the Largest and Best Show in the World I Since exhibiting in this citv last season Mr. COUP has enlarged his exhibitiions to fully THREE TIMES THEIR FORMER PROPORTIONS, with the addition of a MAGNIFI CENT HIPPODROME and THREE CIRCUS COMPANIES, exhibiting simultaneously in THREE IMMENSE CIRCUS KINGS, employing nearly TWO HUNDRED ARTISTS of all nationalities. Also, a SPLENDID MUSEUM and GRAND MENAGERIE. Among the leading sensational features are the great and only LU LU, who is hurled more than one hundred feet through the air from a powerful iron catapult, performing two complete revolu tions before alighting in the net: also, the Wonderful Dive of Geraldine, who plunges head foremost seventy-five feet downward from the dome of the Hippodrome; also, exciting Hippo drome Races, Chariot Races, Jockey Races, Lady Hurdle Raees, Flat and Standing Races, Zulu and Indian Races, the wonderful BRONCHO HORSES, the Leaping Horse Nettle; Fryer’s Pony and Dog Shows, tin Leaping Italian Grey Hounds, etc., etc., giving a series of the most novel and intensely interesting performances ever witnessed in any show in the world without exception.
