Ex-senator Miller's speech was review of
the policy of the Grant administration, es-
pecislly towards the Southern States; citing
cases from Georgia and elsewhere, during
which he handled the administration with his
gloves of. 1t was, throughout, an able effort.
Governor Walkers remarks were warmly
received. he urged upon the people of North

lima might be the banner State for Greeley,
and fire the first gun In the battle that would
sweep over the entire nation In November.
Senator Upton scathlngly reviewed the acts

to other senators who had Joined with him, by

thusiasm. The day was quite gala one In

The Railroad Duel.

i. A regular cut-throat fight is going on be-
tween the Georgia Central Railroad, the
Tennessee line and the South Carolina Rail-
road. Freights have been lowered to star
walton prices, and there is no sign OF a truce.
The war was begun by the Central Railroad,
and it is pleasant to know that the volume
OF business has Increased 80 enormously that
the gross receipts OF the South Carolina
Railroad, in spite OF the reduced rates, are
as large as at the corresponding time last
year.
This sort Of hsht is profitable to the ship
pers OF freight, but it must be an expensive
amusement to the stockholders. These can
not afford to be sacrificed for the benefit OF
the public, and, besides, these q~uarrels
usually end in a new bargain between the
rivals, when the general public have to pay
the piper. There is, we admit, no way that
we see OF preventing these quarrels. When
one line reduces it's rates the competing
lines must do the same, or give up the field
to the opposition. This they dare not do,
and the result is that the war goes on until
all parties are exhausted.
OF course the public can stand it, il the
railroads can.

New Channels OF Trade.

The routes Of commerce across Europe are
shifting and changing. The recent cotnpeti-
ton of the Mt. Gents Tunnel and of the Suez
Canal; the consolidation Of Italy; the enter
prIsing trading spirit manifested by many oil
the Italian towns, and the completion Of new
railroad communications, have forced the car
rying trade into unusual channels. Iraly is

her narrow peninsula the great highway c.
the known world, and gave to Venice the
name Of the "Queen Of the Atlantic" and to
Genoa that of 1.-THE Superb" All this change

French ports on the Mediterranean, which
sea will soon, under this state Of affairs, cease
to be called q French lake. In addition to the
recent routes opened across Europe, In eight
years Mt. st. Gothard will be pierced, and o
direct outlet to the East be given to the COM
merce of Germany. The cities that are bene-
hted at present are Venice, Brindisl, Genoa,
Odessa and Trieste. Beyond these, to reach
the East, We should not be surprised to see at
some distant day the routes Of commerce 60
