IFrOm the Detroit Free Press, Nov. I'll
About eleven O'Clock yesterday morning real
winter set In, the snow wet and heavy, fall
ing thick and fast and q heavy gale blowing from
the east. The streets were IN q great measure oe-
serted during the afternoon, and all outside busi-
ness had TO be suspended. The air was 80 dark and
murky that vision scarcely extended two BLOCKS
away, and men and horses were chilled through
with the cnging snow.
ON the river the storm was yet mercer Vessels
anchored in MD stream could hardly be dscerned
nom the wharf, and those lying In dock heaved ana
rugged at their moorngs The river was rougher
than Al any time since navigation opened the WIND
having fair sweep down from Belle Isle, anu the

tons OF the dock Warehousemen and shippers were
working like giants az receiving ana getting away

landings, breaking the cables and Outlines missing
the dock. There now need be no hope that winter
is not at hand. Everything shows mat such is the
case, and from all indications The only interim viii

Mr.. Todd dlsmisses Captain Osborne's Suggestions
with very scanty notice. and does not admit them
at all INTO his nnal comparison. Ineir va9ueness
and the ex0rbltant subsidies attached 10 lhein su-
clenJy justify the slight. II win be remembered shas
The cheaper land route was TO have started rom
Rangoon, and to have connected East java
have cost according to captain osborne,
$500 900 or f400, 900, but as amended by MI.
Todd only f350, 900; and the annual subsidy stipu,
lated for was f40.000 The direct sea route onereu
as an alternative would have consisted OF two sec
t0nsthe first from Gale to Java Head and the sec
Ond from Java Head TO Port Darwin. The aggregate
distance would have peen 200 Knots the cost about
fl 600, and the annual subsidy 600 600. Mr. Todd
does not aude here to third supplementary sug-
gestl0n OF Captain OsbOrnes, for saving about
f100, 900 by landing At the Northwest Cape instead
OF Port Darwin.
The report thus begins by ignoring Mr.. fowler,

merits, but offers no practical decision. The Gale

1t could be expediu0usly and easily worked. The
northern route would be economlca-f4500 900, or at

can be no doubt that great benefit Will &C

ton to the public to learn that the Magnetic

REDUCTION OF FREIGHT.

The Augusta Duly Press publishes
items of the new schedule of freights
from Knoxville, Tenn, through to Au-
gusta. They exhibit an important re-
duction on all classes Of goods, for which
it is said, the public are indebted to Mr..
HULnERT.
There is scarcely any influence Which
can SO greatly promote or rctard the de-
vOlopmcnt of Country, through which
a Railroad passes, as tho regulation Of
its frcights, and no subject can more
proftably engage the attention of Rail
road Manager. As a general rulo-the
lower tho rate the greater the transpor-
tation. 1t is onl y necessary to fix, ju-
diciously, the limit of reduction, that it
does not pass point whom it causes to
DO rcmunerativo to tho Road. The nearer
this limit is ascertaincd and adopted the
greater will be the growing profit of the
Road, and the development Of tho coun-
try.
While upon tho freight subject there
is another matter which wo would be
pleased to have Mr.. HUBERT consider.
Through frcights constitute, doubtless,
the largest business of the Road, and it
is natural that he should fix his attention
mainly upon Chattanooga and Atlanta.
But, what if by his official management
of tho Road, he could build a City Of i'm
portancc within every twenty miles of its
distance, would through freights absorb
all of his attention 7 This is just what
the Read can do by just a''d iA1nas'finl
management, and just what it has done
its bost, not to do, for twcnty years.
Mako tho rates according to distance,
EQUAL to all Dopots on the Road, and
cities will grow, not only at its torminii,
but along its route, and the country will
discharge upon its track streams of pro-
ducc demanding greatly increased ca
pacity for transportation.
Confnc your attention to through rates
and you arc looking solely and narrowly
to the profits of the Road be impartial
to all Dcpots alike and you will reach the
highest profit and ultimately run your
trains through Country toemsng with
produce, wealth and population.

AGRICULTURAL LABOR.

Tie Macon Telegraph has an article
commenting on tho general complaint,
all over the South of the scarity of me-
gro labor, and very properly ascribes its
inadc9uacy to various cause.-the actual
decrease of that population-thc diver
sion Of its labor to other pursuits-farm-
ing on its own. accountant the in
creased demand for labor now so greatly
stimulated by the high price of Cotton.
The Telegraph regards the fact as not
an unmixed evil. "It is a warning in
advance to get ready for the great
change in industrial economy which is
slowly but surely coming upon us-thc
substitution of white for black agricul-
tural labor.
We have much to be thankful for in
this belt of the State from tho fact that
VIC never rclied mainly upon negro labor
and will be less affected by its loss. In
deed, immigration will soon mere than
make up for the disappearance OF negro
labor.

ported adversely to seating Him. on the
ground that the Georgia Legislature is

HOW IS IT

Let us have some explanation of a
matter so unusual-so important and so
questionable. The State. Treasurer, Mr..
Angler says that ARRIVING in New York
he proceeded to the Fourth National
Bank. and found that Gov. Bullock had
drawn drafts for $4,000, scAich amount
has ncrcr been paid ~ noy reported to the
Treasury by Coz. BuHock." Copies OF
the drafts are givcn-two signed Rufus
d. Bullock, Governor Of Georgia, and
enc Rufus B. Bullock, Governor.

some clearing up decidedly worse than

ing to say on the suLjccti
We find, since writing the above, in
the Atlanta Consultation letter from
Gov. Bullock and yejoindcr from the
Treasurer on this interesting theme
The Governor does not shew what was
done with the $50, 900 but admitting the
drafts, expresses his readiness to make
a showing. Mr.. Angler handles the
subject severely accusing tho Governor
of usurpation Of power-unlawful cx-
pcnditurc of the public money and little
short of Jownrighs robbery,

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OFFICERS
CF TIE w. s. a. RAILROAD.


lii handsomely printed pamphlet we
have before us the annual Report Of Hir.
HUBERT and lis associates. 1t is a
clear, SYSTEMATIC and satisfactory exhibit
of the operations, present and prospcc-
tive, of this great State work. Apart from
his official relation with our Railroad we
know nothing of Mr.. IiULDERr; in that
relation we rctcratc ''hc is trying to do
his duty and, we believe, will do it.
OF course, Report of this kind is
eapate; but certainly, the facts prescn-
ted and the purpose charactcrizins the
administration of the Road, admit of no
doubt that it is judiciously managed and
with view to its being made not only a
first class Road in every particular, but,
a great benefit to the State.
The annual financial exhibit givos as
the receipts $943.607.24. Tho working
expenses .SG55. 230.51. Extraordinary
expenses, including Equipment, Depot
Buildings, now buildings, Real Estate,
Building and Ro-laying Track S22.047-
6l--loaving a balance $266.320.l2.
Tho Superintendent purposes ballast
ing the bed Of the entire Road with
broken Stone, nine feet wide and one
foot deep. Tho expense is estimated at
$274.56Q.0Q. He proposes to replace
all the old Rails with ncw--to thoroughly
lrain4the Road-cover all the Bridges
and to gradually fence the entire Road.
We are gratiied that the Road is well
managed and applaud the purpose of
Ma. HuLnERT, with judicious caution, to
make it as stable, economical and benc-
fetal rs the best Road in the Country.
