flews. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, * (MORNING N'FWS BUILDING). === j7 H. "L V, Proprietor. ' W. T. THO n PSO* Editor. MONDAY. QfTOBKBJUjS^I^ The meeting of the Georgia Press As sociation will be held in Atlanta on Wednesday, the 12th inst.,instead of Cth inst., as heretofore announced. A correspondent asks what is the proper pronunciation of the name Guiteau. The execrable wretch claims to be of French descent, and pronounces his name Git-tow. Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, is suf fering from cancer in the breast, and will probably never again take his seat in the chamber. It is understood he has paired with Grover, of Oregon, who is ill aDd would find difficulty in reach ing Washington in time, if he were well. A gentleman residing near Chester town, Md., has sold this season, from about four hundred trees in bearing, over two thousand dollars worth of peaches. The tree3 were four years old last spring, and are very vigorous. Six of the trees yielded thirty-six boxes of fruit. Who would have believed it? It is announced that President Arthur has accepted the resignation of First Lieu tenant F. D. Grant, Fourth Cavalry, to take effect October 1. Since his gradua tion from West Point, Lieutenant Grant has served on the staff of General Sheri dan, at Chicago, with the iank and pay of Lieutenant Colonel. Tfce New York Time* (Rep.) is not confident, but rather hopeless, of an anti-Conkling victory in the Republican State Convention. It says : “The long array of Conkling preserves will send their dummy delegates as heretofore, calmly unconscious of the great man's having done anything to forfeit respect or invite contumely.” Sirs. Cooper, a cousin of Bob Inger soil, has been pronounced a heretic by a vote of the Presbytery of San Francisco because she announced her disbelief in the story of Jonah and the whale. Dur ing the trial, which was long and excit ing, Mrs. Cooper remarked that she would rather have her cousin Ingersoll’s society in hell than that of her former pastor in heaven. A Washington dispatch says it is be lived as probable that in the case of Gui teau, after his trial and conviction before the courts of the District, a writ of habeas corpus will be sued out on exception to the jurisdiction of the District of Co lumbia authorities. This would bring the case finally for review and judgment before the Supreme Court of the United States. Cleveland Herald: “While all the nation was standing uncovered before the body of Garfield, lying dead under the Capitol’s dome, it was Roscoe Conkling who was struggling and sweat ing to gain control of a little county convention in his district No wonder that the people are afraid that this man may again come into possession of Bome measure of power.” Owing to the continued drough f, the wood fires in Northwestern New York are still spreading and causing great de struction. Much of the soil being peaty the fires burrow to a depth of two or three feet, and the crops and railroad ties, as well as trees, fences, telegraph poles and farm buildings have been de stroyed. The burning district lies along the railroads between Buffalo and Roch ester and Buffalo and Batavia. Senator Garland, of Arkansas, says there is not a particle of truth ia the story telegraphed from Chicago that he and Senator Edmunds had agreed on a plan for the organization of the Senate. He says that he and Senator Edmunds and other Senators talked a good deal among themselves on the journey to Cleveland and while there, but they neither committed themselves or under took to commit any one else to any pro jected basis of agreement. The Washington Star notes it as a sin gular coincidence that a portion of the remains of President Garfield, who was murdered by an assassin, should have been carried to the same building in which President Lincoln %!1 by an as sassin’s hand. The Army Medical Mu seum, Ford's old Theatre, now contains the intestines, part of the vertebral col umn and other portions of the anatomy of the late President, which were taken there for examination by surgical ex perts. The Washington Star holds that “the theory advanced in some stalwart jour nals that President Arthur can designate a Senator to call the body to order, and who will be, for the time being, invested with the powers and duties of President pro tempore, is as erroneous as the sug gestion that the Sergeant at Arms is the proper officer to handle the gavel and read the President’s proclamation con vening the extra session.” The Star forgets that the stalwarts in politics recognize only the higher law. There is grave danger of the demoli tion of the familiar theory of Republican organs that all wickedness, wrong doing and miscellaneous turpitude arc the special sign and token of the partisan called Democrat The Philadelphia Times (Ind.), after a review of the doubt ful and devious methods of the mana gers of both Republican factions in New York, concludes: “Business of this sort would have been natural enough to ex pect on the part of an abandoned party like the Democratic, but from the chil dren of light, the wardens of the very temple of the civic virtues, such a spec tacle makes the thoughtless to smile and the judicious to grieve.” There is much plausibility in the re port that ex-Benator Dorsey will be ap pointed Postmaster General. He was one of the two or three leading managers of last year’s campaign, and at a ban quet given him in New York city, at which the then Vice President compli merited him very highly, was given ex clusive credit for the purchase of Indiana in October Indeed, if we rightly re member, Mr. Arthur then credited him with the Republican euccess in the gen eral election. It is certain, remarks the Bridgeport Farmer, that he rendered valuable and conspicuous services, and has been rather persecuted than rewarded for them. But, despite these facts, it is •carcely probable that the President will dare to appoint so prominent a “star router” to the Post Office Department. Mr. Dorsey should feel content with the probable limitation of the star route prosecutions to the smaller fry of the ring. President Arthur's Ordeal. Just in proportion aa President Gar field’s powers and skill as a party leader, aided by Mr. Blame’s adroitness, would have enabled him to hold his party to gether despite whatever reforms he might have set on foot, so, it is likely, will his successor fall short of doing so if he resolves on pursuing a similar course. How he can escape doing this without inviting an injurious judgment upon the party at the hands of the peo ple, it is difficult to see. President Arthur, judged from his utterances, is sincere in the intention, to the best of his ability, to execute the purposes of his predecessor. It is in this belief that patriotic Democrats are among his smeerest well wishers. But by none is he more distrusted than by the ardent supporters of the late President in his own party and particularly by the half breeds of New York. These last are actuated in their suspicions by tbe course of the stal warts of that State led by Mr. Conkling, President Arthur's whilom protector and patron. Mr. Conkling, not content with his wretched defeat in the Assembly, is eneaced in pursuing a vindication at the hands of the people, and, if half breed organs are to be credited, where logic will not avail, the argument of the prize ring is being employed by his faithful henchmen. Furthermore, he is credited with being in possession of proof that will make tbe success of h : s oppo nents, when it comes to be exhibited, far more humiliating than tbe defeat that overtook himself. The coming State Con vention cannotbe harmonious, and must leave legacies of hate and hostility that will survive for years to come. Despite the fact that President Arthur, a former stalwart, now holds sway, the Republicans of New York appear to be for the most part resolutely committed to the programme which contemplated the sma s hing of the Conkling machine, and to save the Empire State to the party in future, the carrying of which under the most harmonious circumstances is but problematical, President Arthur must placate them; and when he does so he arrays agiinst himself his former friends. It appears at present that it is to be war to the knife between tbe fac tions of the party in New York. Even an equitable distribution of the spoils does not appear to promise much, for the stalwarts are fighting not merely for ex istence, but for victory also. President Arthur has not yet made up his Cabinet. Yet, when he comes to do so he will require most consummate diplomacy. If he fill3 it with Garfield men a howl will go up from the stalwart ranks, and, if with stalwarts, he will forfeit the respect of the opposi tion and awaken the disgust of the Democrats. Neither will a mixture do. One will overbal ance the other, or, if not, there will be lack of harmony. Throughout the country the supporters of the late Presi dent will be apt to demand too much of his successor, and the machine will ask favors that he cannot safely grant. No President ever had a more trying ordeal before him, and, though his aims may be high and his purposes pure, un less there is a universal burial of fac tional distrust, the outcome of his ad ministration cannot fail to be hurtful to the sway of Republicanism. The country will be the better for any benefit that President Arthur may work it, and it will survive the quarrels of warring factions. Meanwhile the first duty of Democracy is to country, the next to party, and, if the signs are not woefully misleading, it will be found that, under the coming regime, the per formance of the one will be the fulfill ment of the other, and that in deserving the confidence of the people it will reap its reward. A Short Extra Session Anticipated. According to the Star the general im pression in Washington is that the extra session of the Senate will scarcely extend beyond a week, as there will be but little for it to do. Nothing but executive busi ness can be transacted, and it is not be lieved President Arthur will have much to submit. The theory of a short session is founded upon the supposition that the organization will be effected without a partisan fight All the Indications point to a quiet and peaceable organization through mutual concession. Should a dispute over the offices to be filled arise, a deadlock would probably ensue and continue until the regular meeting of Congress. But there is no reason to appre hend such unseemly conduct on the part of our highest legislative body. The com mittees, according to a custom of the Senate, are created at each session to ex ist for and during that session; but should any dispute arise at the coming extra session over the division of com mittees, the whole question of their for mation may be deferred until the regu lar session, as the few appointments likely to be made by the President will not necessarily require consideration by committees. The plan of conceding the President pro tempore and the-Secretary to the Democrats and of according the committees to the Republicans seems to meet with general favor, and, no doubt, some such compromise will be adopted. The Legislature and the State Road Lease. The able speech of Senator Brown, which we published on Monday last, would seem so clearly to vindicate the in tegrity of the lease of the State Road, and tos how the purely trivial and technical character of the grounds upon which the action of the Legislature authorizing proceedings for canceling the lease is based, that nothing more was necessary to be said on the subject But as the question is one involving, as we conceive, the good faith of the State, as well as the interests of the people, we present in an other column an able editorial from the Atlanta Constitution, in which the views of Senator Brown are fully indorsed and sustained, as we doubt not they will be by the voters of Georgia whenever their voice can be heard. It is a curious fact that the census of Utah makes the number of females in that land of many wives but 69,436, or less than the number of males by 5,035. If the census be correct there is but a fraction of a female to each male of the population. Of the total population, 143,907, there are 99,974 native bornjand 43,933 foreign born. Of the whole number of inhabitants, 20,000 in round numbers are Gentiles and 124,000 Mor mons, and of the Mormons but 3,000 have more than one wife. There are, however, 7,000 women with but a frac tion of a husband apiece. Most of the polygamists are old people. The expen siveress of feminine apparel of late years has put an effective check upon the disposition of the young to poly gamy- King Kalakaua, of the Hawaiian Islands, objects seriously to being called “King Calico,” the usual pronunciation of his ridiculous name. He insists on every vowel in his name being pro nounced seperately. Tbe Trade of Fernandina With the steady development of Flori da the importance of Fernandina as a commercial mart cannot but increase. Few cities on the South Atlantic sea board are more favorably placed or are better endowed by nature for the foster ing of commerce. The evidences of Fernandina’s growth are many and strik ing, and, taken altogether, they predict for her, with no uncertainty, an honora ble distinction among her sister mari time cities. The following tables of shipments handled at Fernandina for the years specified speak for themselves, and justify the expectations of those who speak confidently of her future. For the statistics presented we are indebted to W. J. Woodward, Esq., Auditor of the Transit Railroad. Of oranges, there arrived at Feroan nandina from the line of the Transit Railroad for the year Crates. 1878 5.701 18J9 16.017 1830 81.021 Total for the throe rears 102,719 Of red cedar, there were shipped in Cases.

Coastwise 29.012,000 Foreign 12,673,500 Total.. 41,685,500 The following comparative table of shipments of naval stores for the year 1880 shows a gratifying exhibit for Fer nandina. For the year stated there were shipped of rosin from— Pounds. Brunswick 43,369 St. Mary’s 5.340 Fernandina 30,249 Jacksonville 6,719 For the same period there were ship ped of spirits turpentine from— Barrels Brunswick 8,767 St. Mary’s 1,501 Fernandina 5,443 Jac ksonrilie 1,357 Considering that it has been only within the past few years that Fernandi na has awakened to the destiny that thrift, industry and perseverance can ac complish for her, the strides she has al ready taken have set her far on the road to its achievement. It needs but the maintenance of the spirit evoked and enlargement of the appliances already at her command to bring about its full re alixation. A Candidate’s Woes. The Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, the inde pendent Republican candidate for Treas urer of Pennsylvania, is already having a rough experience. Immediately on the commencement of his candidacy the Re publican press of Pennsylvania opened a broadside on him along the whole line, in which such epithets as “traitor,” "deserter,” etc., were fiercely hurled at him. Hardly had he recovered from this raking, when some thief ent; red his apartments in a Philadelphia h tel and stole therefrom his carefully prepared speech with which he had expected to startle the natives and win thousands of votes. And now comes the Building Association League of Philadelphia, which denounces Mr. Wolfe for his op position in the Legislature to building association interests, and declares him unworthy of the votes of the members of these associations. For a man who has been a candidate but two weeks it must be conceded that Mr. Wolfe has had it a little rough, but it is likely only a foretaste of what he will experience by the “ides of November.” New Orleans Democrat: "A press dispatch from New York announces the consolidation of 2,138 miles of railroad, hitherto under different management, bat now placed under the sole control of ‘King Cole.’ These railroads reticulate seven border and Southern States. The consolidation seems to have had for its purpose the interests of the port of Nor folk, Va. Thus it may be safely assumed that a large quantity of the cotton of the South Atlantic States and the varied produce of the border States, will pour through Norfolk to the different foreign markets. This new railroad monopoly cannot help but injure the traffic of Charleston and Savannah, and perhaps both Pensacola and Mobile.” Was it to accomplish this end that our Georgia Legislature gave “this new rail road mooopoly” a charter to build a line parallel with that of the State Road and run rough-shod over other railroads in the State? The celebrated Mexican scientist, Dr. Del Rio, claims to have discovered an antidote for that scourge of the tropics, the yellow fever—vomito. He is said to have passed many years in scientific in vestigation into this dread disease, to have found out what it was, and then discovered an almost infallible cure for it During the last jear he treated many cases in advanced stage of sickness, aDd saved 82 per cent, of them, while under the old method of treatment 89 per cent, died. Dr. Del Rio deserves, and will receive the gratitude of the people of this entire continent, if his claim proves well founded. This country leads the world in the extent of telegraph lines. The city of New York alone possesses more miles of wire than the entire republic of France. The United States has more than 500,- 000 miles in constant use, while Germa ny lias 150,000 miles; Russia, 130,000; France, 115,000; England, 114,000; Den mark, 61,000; British India, 50,000; Spain, 25,000; Canada, 20,000; Belgium, 15,000; Australia, 15,000; New Zealand, 10,000; Egypt, 9,000; Mexico, 8,500, and Persia 6,000. The total mileage of sub marine telegraph in operation in the world is 104,000 nautical miles. Cincinnati Enquirer : “The incident of two distinguished United States Senators smoking their cigars as they rode in the funeral procession at Cleve land is regarded by a correspondent as an offense against decency of sufficient magnitude to justify mention in the general report of the ceremonies. For our own part we regard thia as a very small offense —for United States Sena tors. ” Guiteau having complained that he could scarcely breathe in his cell, a part of the brick work, which closed all but eight inches of his cell window, has been removed. The opening is now about twelve inches. He is in constant fear for his life, and the appearance of a stranger at any point whence a shot at him might be made always excites him, and leads to suggestions on his part as to additional measures for his protec tion. The Lease of the Western and At lantic Railroad. Atlanta Constitution. The Legislature, after an unusually long session, has adj joined, havlDg done some wise things and some that were unwise. Among the latter we are obliged to class the resolutions instructing the Attorney Genera), In case he is not satisfied about certain points referred to him, to commence suit for the forfeiture of the lease of the Western aDd Atlantic Railroad. If there is any one thing upon which the people of Georgia are practically a “ nlt their approval of tse lease of the S.ate Road. The company took it when it was very much run down and in a dangerous condition—when the Bullock adminis.ra tion was caliiDg for half a million of dollars as an appropriation to repair it. The .esaees were men of high character, and they have complied with the laws of the lease In every particular. We understand there has never been an instance,in nearly eleven years,when they have fallen one single day behind the payment of the monthly rental when due. They always pay on the last day of the month unless it is Sunday, and then they pay on the Saturday before. They have put their earnings into the improvement of the road, till experience-3 railroad men say it is worth from half a million to a million dollars more than when the lessees took it. We understand the actual cost of these improvements paid for out of the incomes of the company have been between five and seven hundred thou sand dollars. There is no provision in the lease act that gives the company anything for betterments, and still they have gone forward and taken up old iron rails and put down new steel rails, and torn out old wood en bridges and put in new iron bridges, and in every particular they have brought up the road from a condition where it could scarcely be operated to first class For the first three or four years the company paid not a dollar of dividends to stockholders bat put everything into the improvement of tbe road. They then issued a batch of income bonds, and they have since been paying the interest and part of the bonds out of the net earnings made by the company. Their income is now a very handsome one. Bat the present Legislature having authorized Colonel Cole to build a railroad by the side of the Western and At lantic Railroad, it will, of course, take off a large part of the profits of the lessees for the next few years, and no reasonable man can calculate on extravagant Incomes with this competition. It follows, therefore, that when the incomes are averaged through the twenty years the Dtt amount will be com paratively small In view of the heavy re sponsibilities the lessees took and the great efforts they have made, and the good faith with which they have kept their contract. In this state of the case resolutions were Introduced into the two Houses, providing for tbe appointment of a committee to in vestigate two questions—one the present ownership of the shares, and the other whether the company had been guilty of discrimination as agalDst any railroad com panies or Individuals. The current report about the streets at the time was, that the lobby had done all in their power to insti gate such a proceeding in tbe hopes of re ceiving compensation for defending the lease,but we understand the President of the road announced from the commencement that he wonld employ no one to defend a measure so well settled and so generally satisfactory to the people. It was also re ported by Madam Rumor that certain able attorneys in the Btate were competent to do more bnsiness than they have at present, and that they have no objection to a heavv suit in court, to determine the validity of the State Road lease, as they would expect to be retained, or in some way to get in as counsel for the State; and after five or ten years litigation, after the case has probably been to the Supreme Court of the United S’ates, to bring in bills for five or ten thou sand dollars each for services rendered to the people, to be paid out of the people’s treasury. We paid no attention to either report, supposing rcallv that the investiga tion amounted to nothing, as we did not presume the representatives of the people would be guilty of a fault or desire to mis represent the wishes of their constituents by any attempt to disturb the lessees of tbe State Road; or by an attempt to get up a long and expensive litigation between the people of the Btate, who are satisfied with the lease, and the lessees of the road who have dealt in perfect good faith with the people. But we find we were mistaken in this cal culation. The committee, after a long in vestigation, and after publishing a consid erable volume of testimony at the expense of the S’ate, finally agreed on a unanimous report, referring two questions to tbe At torney Genera!—one as to the sufficiency of the bond given by the lessees. And we re mark inst here, we are unable to find in the resolution appointing a committee any in structions to them to investigate that ques tion. The other to inquire whether there have been transfers of shares to persons out side of the State, putting a majority of tbe stock out of the State. We believe it is not contended by any one that a majority of those who arpear on the books of the company to be owners of tbe shares re side out of the State. But the commit tee raised the question whether they are all bona Jlde owners or whether they may not represent parties outside of the Btate; in the event the Attorney General is not satisfied on the last proposition he has to commence proceedings for the forfeiture of the lea-’e. If he is Dot satisfied about tbe bond he has to give sixty days within which to give anew bond or to make the new one good, or he is to commence proceedings to forfeit the lease. Now, we can see no earthly use in all this ado unless It be In tbe Inter est of attorneys. The people certainly have no Interest In getting up such litigation. Thejbond of the lessees requires two things— first, the prompt payment of the rental each month; second, that the road be returned In as good condition as the lesseees found it. As already stated, for nearly eleven years the lessees have paid promptly the monthly rental on the day it was due, while they bad under the law twenty days after the end of the month within which to pay It. The character of those who control the company for financial promptness Is a sufficient guar antee that there will never be any doubt about the prompt payment of the rental. And there is certainly no use for a bond at all on the other proposition, for as the road Is now worth more than a half a million of dollars in excess of its value when the lease was made, and the business Is so much lar ger than it was ten years ago, it would be Impossible for the lessees to transact the business of the road, if they were to let it run down as low as it wa6 when they got it. We have, therefore, in the present condition of the road, and the necessity that compels them to keep it in better order than they got it, an ample guarantee that it will be returned as good as when received. Then why should we go to law at this stage with the lessees on the question of the bond or on the question of tne ownership of the shares? There was a provision in the lease act that the company who were to become lessee* should a ma jority of them be citizens of Georgia. This was to prevent the road from railing Into the hands of a company of Northern specula tors who might be irresponsible. But there is no provision in the lease act that requires the original lessees to continue to own their shares or to continue to keep a majority of their shares in the State. Nor Is there any provision in case there is a majority of one in the State, that if that one were to sell his 6hare to somebody out of tbe Btate this would forfeit the interest of tbe rest of the shareholders. In would simply be absurd. Tbe law makes provision In case of the death of one of the lessees, In certain con tingencies, that the Ordinary may order his share sold, and there Is nothing that pre vents a citizen of another State from buying it. Thia might turn the scale and put a ma jority of the stockholders outside of the State. Would anybody contend that the lease was forfeited on that account, or that the public care ODe way or the other wheth er the shares were 6till held by the original lessees or by some other good citizens ? The original lessees being by statute the directors for tbe whole period of the lease, and in case of the death of either his legal representatives being Directors, and the original lessees being alone responsible to the State, they have the management, and they have managed well and to the satisfac tion of the people. Then why do the peo ple of Georgia care who may own bonds In the company or who may own pecuniary in terests in the shares? Whv have a lawsuit that will cost the State of Georgia probably from $25,000 to $50,000 in expenses and lawyers’ fees and cost the lessees a large amount about a proposition that nobody in Georgia cares for? As to the bond, we have no doubt, from all we have learned, that It was originally executed according to law, that the railroad companies which signed it were bound, and that the present security of the lessees is worth more than twenty millions of dollars. It is true that Mr. Wadley has testified that tbe Central Road Is not liable because they gave either him or William B. Johnston the right to indorse for a company satisfactory to him, and that he did not give bis appro val to tbe company. We think it a sufficient reply to all this to say that Mr. Johnston, who was an officer and director of the company under that authori ty, did indorse and reported his proceedings back to the company, and for eleven years they have passed no resolution disapprov ing, nor has Mr. Wadley given the public any notice that he did not approve the com pany, but, on the contrary, has purchased an interestin the lease. Therefore, it is too late now for either Mr. Wadley or the Cen tral Railroad to deny tbe liability of that company on the bond of the lessees. They are clearly estopped by the act of their agent that was reported to them, and which they have never disapproved, but have per mitted the public to act under the Impres sion that they were bound for more than half the period of the lease. But, as already stated, If there were no bond, there is not a cit izen of Georgia under any apprehension. We can neither lose by a failure to return the road in as good con dition as the lessees got It, as it is out of the question for it to be worse; and, as Judg ing from their past conduct, every ,one knows they do not intend we shall; nor could we lose by the non-payment of the monthly rental, for, if the lessees fail as much as twenty days to pay that, the Gov ernor has the right to declare the lease for feited and take charge immediately. Then why all this litigation ? What motlye could either the committee of the Legislature have bad for authorizing any such pro e ceding ? The most important point to the public was whether the road Is run fairly as a trunk line, giving all connections a just showing, or whether they discriminated in favor of their own favorites, if they had any. But after the investigation tbe committee say there is no evidence of aDy discrimination. The road has, therefore, been worked fairly and justly. We believe, however, that the Governor and the Attorney General, In looking Into this whole case, will see the utter absurdity of the proceeding, and that they will refuse to involve the people and the leseees in a senseless and expensive litigation, when neither party desires it. Doubtless the eyes of the tax payers will be upon the Governor and the Attorney General in this matter, and they will want a very substantial reason for the litigation if there should be one. To put It simply on technical grounds will not satisfy them. They will want to know how tha public interest is subserved by it. As far as the question relates to the action of the Lsgislature we do not care further to discuss it. We have no doubt their con stituents when they look into it will put the proper estimate upon their services and reward them accordingly. And we shall not believe till we see It, that the Attorney General has been guilty of the follv of in volving the people and the lessees In a liti gation which can result to the benefit of no one but the attorneys employed.
