A majority of the purchasers were resi-

EDGEFIELD AND KENTUCKE

Meeting OF the New Board OF ID
rectOrs.
various Questions Discussed,

An adjourned meeting of the Board OF
Directors was held yesterday, and several
matters were discussed az length.
The matter of granting free passes first
came up, and vaSiety of opinions were
expressed in regard to dead-heads and
dead-beats generally.
Mr.. Lockhart said the passenger ear
nings might be increased very largely by
abolishing free passes.
Col. Washington said thst as President
of the road he proposed to conduct affairs
with the stTictest economy,
Mr.. Hart said that the President had no
idea how many applications were made
for passes on railroads. Col. Washington
had had great deal Of experience in re-
gard to other matters, but he was a new
man in the railroad busire ss and would
learn all these things after g while. He.
(Mr. HART thought that even the Directors
oUght to pay, and if they did anything for
the road then the road ought to pay them.
He was opposed to the dead head business
entirely.
After further discussion the whole mat
ter waq, by consent, left to the discretion
OF the President.
Motion was made to adjourn, but vi to-
drawn, to allow Dr. hlfEpaCficE 10 max Q a

The House proceeded with the consid.
Grafton of Senate amendments to the de.
iciency bill, the amendment repeating
the law which requires ihe meeting OF
each new Congress on the 4th Of March
being in order.
A Candid Radical.
Mr.. Coburn opposed the repeal. He
hoped to see the day when men would
cease to talk about coordinate branches
of the government. The one great pow
er in the country was the people whose
views were expressed through Congress.
Garfield attributed the proposed re-
peal to g desire of the Senate 10 be left
alone to exercise the great powers it had
obtained and extended within the last
few years.
Dawes Tells Some Bitter Truths.
Dawes favored repeal. The present
sessI n was O mistake. They had done
more to repent than to boast of. If any
thing had occurred within the last few
Days TO made the people forgive Con-
gress for its discussions and wrangling,
and the deep wounds inflicted on the
Republican party il the other end of the
capitol-more dangerous because they
were bleeding internslly-it was that
moderate counsels had found their ut
terance in legislation rather Than ex-
IRENE measures. Only that moderation
saved the present session of Congress from
being an unmitigated evil in the judg
ment of the people.

then conCurrcd in. Yeas SO; nays 90.
The amendment appIopriating $50, 600

CURED in, and without disposing of all,

These figures speak for themselves, and
there Is no exsggeration in the estimate.
They show the Lebanon route to be the
shortest aid the best, having the largest
amount OF money and answering the origi-
nsl design of competing road with that
running from Louisville to Nashville.
Appeals have been made to the Nashville
Board o; Trade il favor of the Gallatin
route, as being best calculated to promote
the interest of Davidson County. We
make no appeal further than to ask the
Board of Trade and the people of Davidson
County to look at the figures. Davidson
County IS already interested in twenty
nine miles of this road, and the compile

able. Business men everywhere can ur-
derstand this matter, and its needs no ar

Commenting upon the above, the Leba-
non Herald remarks.
Now it is evident that there is no ma
teTial difference ss to distance, although
the route to Lafayette and Huntsville has
been stated to be 20 or 30 miles longer
than the Gallatin route. The figures show
only four miles difference, and even to Sc
cure this much, the read from Gallatin to
Nashville must run or the Louisville and
Nashville track Otherwise the Lebanon
route is twenty-five miles nearer. But
Gsllatin denies that they intend uniting with
the Louisville and Nashville monopoly
Yet if they unite and run on the same track
to Gallatin, twenty-six miles, We have
twenty-nlne miles to Lebanon which we
propose to use, and this gives US three
miles more road, already built, than the
Galatin ronte has. We call on our ex-
changes in Gallstin and Nashville to pub
fish these facts.
