The Mobile. New Orleans and Chatta-
nooga railroad just finished between Mo-
bile and New Orleans, has caused the Nor
gan line to come down seventy-tye per
cent on rates OF freight between the two
cities named. A considerable amount of
freight is shipped from here direct to No
bile by the Iron Mountain railroad and the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, as well as by the
Mississippi to New Orleans, and thence by
the Morgan line of steamers The rate by
this last named route has been seventy five
cents by barge ninety cents by steamboat,
on barrel OF flour from here. 1t is now
hfty-seven and half cents by barge
and seventy-twO and a half cents by steam
boat through to Mobile.

The Washington Chronicle of the eighth
instant reports the marriage of Mr.. John
Jay Knox. who is well known to MANY of
our citizens:
The latest hymeneal sensation that has
disturbed our fashionable community was
the marriage, yesterday, of Mr.. John Jay
Knox, Deputy Controller of the Currency,
to Miss Carrie E. Todd, daughter of Mr.. VI.
b. Todd, of this city. The wedding took
place at the residence of the brides father
and was very quiet affair; but few init
mate friends Of the happy pair were assem-
bled to witness the ceremony, which was
celebrated by Rev. DR.. Knox, brother of
the groom, and Rev. Thomas Addison, rec
tor OF Trinity Church. The brother of the
bride, Mr.. Thomas Todd. acted as grooms-
man, and Miss Mamie Ashby az bridesmaid
The dressing Of both bride aud bridesmaid
was elegant and costly.

Steel Rails.

In the last annual report of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company some interesting
facts are given concerning the use Of steel
rails on the road. The experience OF the
past year has been satisfactory. The steel
rails laid in 1864, on the Beaver Meadow Di-
vision, look as well as they did year since.
with the exception of three rails, which
show signs of wearing out. During the past
year 1898 miles of track have been relaid
with steel, making the amount Of steel track
now 1881 miles. In 1869 the company laid
1880 tons of the best English iron rails, guar
anteed to last from five to seven years; but
they have not proved satisfactory, and the
report says that it is demonstrated that
nothing short Of all STEEL or steel headed
rails, will prove economical under the pres
emit heavy and rapidly increasing traffic of
the road" The relative value Of steel and
iron is illustrated by the experience at the
scales at Packerton. The first iron rails laid
upon the scales lasted one year and twenty
three days, and passed tonnage of 1868,
CTS tons. The second set Of iron rails were
in use seven months and nineteen days, and
passed tonnage of ,524 $40 tons. Steel
rails laid May %, 1869. have passed sos, 33l
tons, and show no perceptible wear. The
company has contracted for one thousand
tons Of steel rails to be laid this year, and
we judge that before many years the whole
road will be relaid with steel. All our other
railroads having heavy traffic to carry
will probably be relaid in the same manner

etits diminished or impaired without the
consent of the grantees than any other
grant Of property or valuable thing, unless
the right to do so is reserved in the charter
itself"
The attempt, on the part of the Legisla-
ture, to revoke charter and franchises
which have been granted to private indi-
viduals anu under which others have been
induced to invest money, is calculated to
destroy all confidence in commerce and
every species OF trade. Stocks of numerous
incorporated companies are bought and sold
in the market as securities are held by
those who desire investments. Their value
depend as much upon the security which
the constitution and laws throw around
them as upon the enterprise of the mana
gers and objects of the organization If the
Legislature gives to-day and takes away to-
morrow, capital will soon seek place where
laws are less tickle.
This bill does not, in so many words,
repeal the act creating or revoke the grant
made to the Crescent City Live Stock
Landin. and Slaughterhouse Company. but
it does, in effect, by granting to others the
privileges which were exclusively given to
said company in the act approved March 8.
1869. What the Legislature can not do
directly it can not do indirectly.
1t can not be said that the Leg islature has
not exceeded its constitutional authority.
because an investigation has been had and
because reasons may have been shown why
the charter of the Slaughtevhouse Company
should be forfeited. The Legislature can
not inquire into causes for. nor declare
the forfeiture of charter. That is
subject of judicial inquiry alone. The
judicial power is vested in the courts, and
any attempt upon the part of the Legisla-
ture to exercise such power is in violation

One is named Powell, and he is OF
Barnwen, and the other is named Muller,
and he is of Columbia. And together
they are known as Powell & Muller.
And they ku klux men, women and
children, but principally women. This
is the way they ku klux woman. They
first lure her into their den, and then
it begins to sound like one of Miss Brad
don's novels, doesn't it9 And then they
sell her splendid black silk, or lovely
merino, or stylish Empress cloth, at
such low price as causes her almost TO
lose her mind.
The den of Powell & Muller is avery
fine new Dry Goods Store, next door 10
the Constitutionalist office-one OF the
very finest in Augusta. And asthey ku
klux the poor unfortunate women, SO do
they ku -klux the men and children.
