The snow sheds on the Central

miles Of track. They are placed in

From The Augusta Chronicle.

lAA"hh VIZ 4Au5sHessAh Ahf'NfffAtAf
The Hon. Henry w. IIilliard ar
rived in the city yesterday from
Washington. While at the Capital
Mr.. billiard was tho guest Of Chief
Justice Chase. The most remark
able thing that took place during
bis visit was a conversation between
himself, Gen. Garfield, the great
Ohio Radical, and Chief Justice
Chase. OF coursetho topic selected
for discussion was the condition OF
affairs in this section, and Mr.. Hill
lard, in cnumcratipg the gricyan-
ccs Of the Southern people, spoke
Of the swarm OF hungry carpet bag
| gers which had overrun the country
since the surrender. Replying to
| this, Gen. Garfield agreed with Mr.
billiard in his remarks on the pest
and said that he himself "woulc
rather repcntant rebels should holt
the offices than carpet-baggcrs."
b" dependant rcbels.n interrupted
the Chief Justice. "Why do yol
wish repentant rebels Gen. Garfield
What have the rebels done tina
they should repent? Were the,
not equally concienscious in thel
support Of the Southern cause a
We of the North were in our advo
: cacy of tho cause Of the Union."
