RAILROAD COMBINATIONS.

We take from the Constitutional
ist the following explanation Of the
recent efforts at Augusta to CONSOLE
date the control of Railroad lines
Our readers will be interested in no.
ticing how monopoly stretches I'M
tireingly its grasp while they console
themselves with the reflection that a
movement is seldom made without
promoting the public good:
"This Pennsylvania company aims
to reach Atlanta on its way South
via Knoxville, Dalton and the West
ern and Atlantic Road. 1t aims to
reach Chattanooga by the L. T.,
Va. and Georgia Read, and to reach
Memphis by leasing the Charleston
and Memphis Road. 1t desires to
get lower down and to the Gulf
cities by route through upper Geor-
gia. If it can lease or otherwise
control the Atlanta and West Point
Road, and the Western Road from
West Point to Selma, an important
link is secured. The completion of
the Richmond and Airline Road to
Atlanta, which it will probably assist
to complete, will be another link
The question recently discussed by
the Central and the Georgia Reads
in joint council at Augusta, was
should they facilitate this project or
fight it. The Central Railroad pre-
posed a consolidation of these two
great Georgia corporations to fight
it. 1t proposed to stop, as far as in
their power, the Pennsylvania Road
at Atlanta, while they combined to
throw as much as possible of the
trade Of the South and West upon
their roads. and divide the profits -
1t went so far as to propose the con-
solidation of the two companies,
while preserving their separate or
CARNATIONS, and dividing their net
earnings pro rata among the two
sets of stockholders. But the Gcor-
gia Road did not sec its advantage
in this. 1t and the Central are now
operating the Western Road from
West Point to Sclma) at a heavy
annual loss. 1t is getting to be ia
tiguing. The Georgia Road would
prefer to be relieved of this burden.
If the Pennsylvania Company will
shoulder it, the Georgia and Central
ought to accept the relief and rejoice
at it. The same roads will still cx-
ist, giving them access to the South
and West through Alabama and
Tennessee. They could make
through rates with that company re-
lieved of the burthen, and on as good
terms as they now have.
But the Central Road declined the
suggestion. 1t was then proposed
by the Georgia that the Central take
exclusive control of the Western
Railway and lease the Atlanta and
West Point Railway. This, too, was
declined. The proposition for a con
solidation is still pending, but it does
not require much sagacity to see
that the Georgia Railroad will in its
turn decline it.

IN Il NUTSHELL.

The Atlanta Era complains that
we instanced none of the radical
Expressions which went far to
justify the retaliatiory, outrages COM
mitted in South Carolina. 1t is
amazing that any honest man can
think of the spoliation, plundering,
house-burning and crimes innumer-
able committed in that State, and
ask for instances of Oppression. .
Iii still more amazing that any white
man can think of the elimination in
that State of "the sum of all villain
ies,' the white race, dominated by
brutal Africans, and ask for instances
of oppression"
Such has been the unhappy for
tunes of South Carolina and several
other Southern States, brought about
for no other reason under Heaven
but to promote the aims and pur-
poses of the radical party, If that
party had been truly wise and mag
unanimous when the process of re-
construction commenced, instead of
seeking to perpetuate its own as
cendaney by the subordinatiOn of
the white to the black race, it had
devised upon some plan a separation
of the races, the evils complained Of
would have been unknown. But
this could not serve party purposes
and TO accomplish these purposes
they preferred to declare war against
the instincts of human nature and
against the principles of social order
and rational government. OF course
reactionary violence was inevitable ;
it is wonderful that it did not prove
far greater, and that it did not, was
owing mainly to the abiding faith of
the white people of the South that
the foul oppression would not endure
that the time will soon come when
they will again manage their own
affairs free from all degrading in
huences.

RE ANIMATING THE HAR-When the hair
ceases to draw from the scalp the natural lubri-
cant which is its sustclance, It's vitality is, as it
were, suspended, and ifnot promptly attended
to, badness will be the certain result. The
one sure method of avoiding such an unpleasant
catastrophe is 10 use Lyons Cahairon, which
when well rubbed into the scalp, will speedily
re-animate the hair and prevent it from falling
out Besides that, this inimitable resusci tant
and strengthener of the Hair nourishes and
stimulates It's young and tender fbers, removes
all obstacles to their growth in the shape of
dandruff and dirt, and ultimately produces a
new crop of hair, stronger glossier, and twice
az abundant as the old. As hair dressing it
is notably the most agreeable, refreshing and
serviceabe article ever placed upon dressing
table.

A question of very great importance is
that Of farm labor. Joseph Harris, In the
American Agricultural, discusses one
phase Of il % follows.
We must make up our minds to pay men
Is much for working on the farm as they
oAn earn in other pursuits. II they can get
o., rs per day the year round ia factory
or on q railroad, We must furnish similar
compensation in one form or other on the
farm. II we only want men Tor six or eight
months, and that during the busiest season,
We must be prepared to pay higher wages
than those who give constant employment.
We shall never have reliable labor until
we make IL worth good mans while to
stay with us year after year. And We can
do great deal TO induce such men to set:Ie
in the country by building aud renting small
houses, or By selling an acre or two of land
TO some steady married man who wants to
own q home OF his own. There are many
such men who would rather work on farm
than at any other employment, who are alb
solutely compelled to leave the country aud
10 into the cities and villages because they
cannot get house to live in And, as q
result, We frequently have TO pay men from
20 to 80 per cent more q day than they
get in the immediate neighborbood of 9
city.
Farmers have this matter entirely in their
own hands. They must either build houses
or sell land to those wishing to build. Every
good, honest, industrious married man wh'
settles 10 the country increases the value o
farm propsrty.-The greater the popula
tion, IL Of the right kind, the greater vsiu'
Of tho land. We cannot too often remem
Der il is labor and not land that produces
wealth. II is loss to the community Il
have q man lie idle all winter. Aud in thi
oouutry there is certainly no lack Of employ
msnt for any man who will work ct reason
able wages.
