CHEAP TRAVEL IN THE SOUTH
The Western and Atlantic Railroad
has taken the initiative in reducing
the rates of travel transportation to
three cents per mile. This is good
move, and the example will be fol-
lowed, no doubt, by other roads
Tickets at $50 for one thousand miles
are issued, and so arranged that hold
ers can travel from one mile upwards,
at their option. Whatever the dis
tance travelled Is deducted from the
face of the ticket, and the Company
remains bound for the residue of one
thousand miles. This is an excellent
arrangement, convenient and Valua-

An editorial letter in the Washing
ton Chronicle presents careful and
close analysis of the political pros
poets In Pennsylvania, as seen from
Pennsylvania standpoint. Pennsyl-
vania has never been so united, not
even in 1864. Here, as elsewhere,
Grant is the chosen man. The unity
is so far greater than in 1864, that
though the State then gave Mr.. LIN
coin 20,075 majority, it will now give
General Grant at least 30. 1000.
Every nomination In the State has
been made unanimously, and the
whole party is in line. working for
the heaviest vote. In 1857 the Dem
ocrats bad many advantages.
The Republican politicians exclu-
| ded the soldiers from the best places
on their ticket in this city, and the
Democrats took advantage of the mis-
take. and gave the soldiers their best
nominations, while a large body OF

fell off heavily in every county but
two or three, and yet the Democratic
majority in the State was only 922.
This year the loss will be made up

alone. The organization of the Re-
publicans is very thorough. There
are two State Committees, the Repub-

their success would embroil the

How TO HEDGE on THE PREsI-

who desires to bet on the election of
Grant to the extent Of five thousand

give him some point on the other side
by which he can safely hedge; in
other words, make some counter. bet
which will, in some sort, protect his
money. Oar friend is too prudent.
We would not advise him TO hedge at
all; but if he wants to make his bet
ting as nearly sure thing as possible.
we would advise him. after laying out
his FIVE thousand dollars on Grant, to
invest about one hundred dollars in
buying Confederate bonds. lie can
secure about ten thousand dollars
worth of them for about the sum we
name, and if Seymour and Blair
should be elected they would soon be
worth fifty cents on the dollar"
