illustration. His readiness ia debate
was marvellous. He never wanted
word. He never hesitated. BE was
never taken unawares, and he always
rose in power and briilia1cy in proper
ton to the vigGr OF his opponent. Al
though he was attached to the Presby'
terian Church, still his expansive affsc
tions embraced all good men. His de-
cease will be extremely regretted by
many IN this land, who knew him 10
former days.

# the pledge retains the Certificate after
the debt has been discharged, he i5 la
bic fer interest on She dividends, although
no fraud be imputed TO him. AS 20 the
dividends received before demand 4
msde on the pledge, interest is to be
computed "a, the aggregate amount from
the lime Of demand, and on each su0se-
qnenuy received dividend, from the date
OF its receipt. Annual rests, for the pur-
pose OF charging the Pledge with COM
pound interest, are not 10 bs allowed II

The rule of computing interest on the

BRUTAL MURDER.
what ROWdieS CaR DO I'm New
York City In Daylight.

\ more wsnton murder than that COM
mitted in New York, last Thursday, we
have not often recorded. The victim was
Charles NJ. Rogers, aged sixty years, and
recently superintendent Of the st. Mich
olss Hotel His dying statement was as
follows 4" I am proprietor Of 3 boarding
house sr y East Twelfth street. About
seven O'clock this morning went cut 10
sweep the sidewalk, aud while sweeping
the area two men came alcRg, one tall
ma1, ana the other q short man, whom
l did not know previously /; the short
man took eli 3 white coat and handed
IL to the other, wheFeUpOn the tall man
said DON'T Jsm,' and went across the
strest. The short msn then returned
and attacked me, brsndishiDg a large
knife st my head, which cut my hat
through. then cliuched with him, with
the view of protecting myself; while
thus struggling, he seized my watch and
chain, and t9ok them foreibly from me !;
also my wallet, which was in my panta-
looms pocket while be wss robbing me
cried cur, Murder he stat bed me in

away across the street and tock his coat :;
before hs ran away I saw him throw

2 wise aud liberal construction Of rail-
way franchises, which forblds what nasy
5e witnessed in other States such g
gantic combinations Of railway iBfi1eue-
as are popularity believed to control the
politics, as well IS finances OF those
States combinations, for example. like
the Pennsylvania Central, in the Key
stone State, and the Camden and Amboy
IN New jersey.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sen
tizel, commenting on the above, says:
We are glad that the schemes Of the
Central Road to secure a monopoly OF
the freight and passage business OF Mid
die, Southern and Southwestern Georgia,
have received this check. The interests
Of the people Of the entire State are in
vOlved in this suit, and we trust that our
judiciary, unlike that of New York, is
still free from the cOrrupting influences
Of these corporation rings."
IL the law. IS il now stands, is not
sufficient fer the protection OF the people,
the Legislature should afford relief by
the passage OF such laws as will prevent
these improper and Injurious combina-
tiOns. Indeed, the railroad system of
the State needs thorough hauling over.
There are many restrictions which might
be placed upon these companies, which,
while not irjurtng the corporations,
would benefit lhs people Of the State.

A GEORGIA RING.
The Most Important Lawsuit
Ever brought sn Georgia.
The Greai a. s. G.. Ts. z. Stock
Operation EDj sined.

Erom the Macon GA ) Telegraph OF the dth.l
Yesterday the Hon. Carlton b. Cole,
Judge Of the Superior Court OF the Ma
con Circuit, at the suit Of certain stock
holders Of the Southwestern Railroad,
through their attorneys, the Messrs. Ms
bets & Jackson, and Messrs. White &
Gustin, granted s. bill OF Injunction
sgsinst the South western Railroad Com
many and the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company, foTbi4diDg tbs purchase
hV said companies of stock Ia the ATTAIN
tic and Gulf Railroad Company recently
transferred to them, or either OF taem,
by the city Of Savannah and restrain
ing said c5mpsnies from ali attempts %
eo1troI. through said stock, the opera
items of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad,
and the commercial and business inter-
ests Of Central, Southern and Western
Georgia, to be affected aud controlled by
the use of said stocks In the hands Of the
said companies.
This Injunction, of course, will be
fought in the court below, on q motion
to dissolve, and then, 60 Which way the
cause nav, apneai will bs taken 10 the
SuDFsma Court OF the State. II is, prob
ab-v, in respect to its scope and general
conse quences, the most important suit
ever brought ia Georgia. and IN JnS
courss OF the trisl, will array the best
legal and forensic talent in the state.
The injunction restraints the purchase
ia question, on the grounds Of violation
of the franchises Of these companies,
and OF general public utility and conven-
iance. Ia a word, We understand that
the bill which we have not SEEM takes
almost Identical ground with the long
editorial article IN the Telegraph, about
q fortnight ago, in which we expressed
the opinion that combinations OF eSpital
and credit, resulting from these fran
chises, could not lawfully be welded SO
as to ohstruct public improvement, and
interfere with the public convenience,
and the legitimate development OF tTsss.
The matter is in the hands of the
eourts-there we shall leave it, with the
remark that we sFdently desire the pros-
ueritv of our railroads; but, 81 the same
lime. believe it to be Indispensable pub
lie policy that they should be restrained
alike FROM exogbitant snd unequal taxa
( ton OF the public, and from cutting eaen
others throats by an over-grsspsng snd
( unnatural competition. II our courts

the eolonists coming in ss best they could
to the nearest seaports, generally In an
absolutely destitute condition.
The result os the Brszil "feyer,n sad
es il has proved to those who yielded to
g attack, will stand as q warning to the
Southern people against the hasty aban-
doument Of their native land. Even the
greatest curse that can fall upon US from
the foul womb Of Radical hate-the curse
Of mongrelism- cannot be avoided by
going to Brazil or any other South
American country. In all Of them the
nasty fruit has ripened, and pollutes
earth and air with its sickening odoTs.

MURDER OF AN OLD MAN.-At Kilbonrn City,
Wisconsin, the father of DR.. o. ]. Gates, dent
ist, of this place, was murdered ON the 18th Of
September. On the morning of the murder, Mr..
Gates arose at an early hour and took walk, as
was his wont. Not returning search was made
for him, and about eleven o'clock his body was
found lying by the river, and down an embank-
ment, west of the bridge. The old man had
peen shot, and evidently the contents of two re-
yoivefs had been emptied upon him. A Milwau-
xee paper says Gates was we'll known and was
an influential citizen of Kilbourn, and the feel
lng against the perpetrator of the murder. was
great. The same paper assigns as q reason for
the murder that some months previous Gates
was robbed of s.. 900. Several persons were ar.
rested charged with the crime, and it is stated
that Gates could easily indemnity the robbers.
and by this means bring them to Justice. Az bs
