A Georgia paper extols the Southern live oak
for ship-bulding. Vessels built of this timber
are almost indestructable. II has all the qualities
of the iron wool of Bomeo, which turns axes,
and is almost impossible to fell.
These live oak trees are so hard as almost to
turn the edge OF the keenest axe To drive q
nail into one Of them Is well nigh impossible
and even when prostrated by the hurricane and
deeply embedded in the yielding soil Of tho
coast, they seem imperviOus 10 time and the at
triton of the elements. They remain bleaching
upon the earth just as they fell generations ago.
For ship building no material eau compare with
this description of timber.

TEE OTHER SIDE.

The New York Express gives the rail-
way side of the freight question of trans
porting grain from the interior to the tide
water. 1t says that railroads carry "a
bushels of whea. 100 miles for one dollar;"
and it asks: "Can it be done for less?"
That question can only be properly an
swered when road shall be constructed as
cheaply as possible, all things considered,
AND then operated in the same way. The
Express adds:
SIT is also true that for several months in
the year the railroads of the country on the
great thoroughfares are not equal to carry
ing the freight of the country, and this is as
true of the products of manufactures as it is
of agriculture. In New York, millions of
dollars worth Of produce, lumber and arti-
cles Of manufacture are awaiting shipment
in vain, and the cause of complaint is j Ist
as coed on this side of Lake Erie IS beyond
it. In the summer there is less complaint
only because there are more outlets to the
Atlantic, the St. Lawrence and the Missis-
sippi."
Very true; and we of the Southwest
must have another outlet to the Atlantic,
that shall be nearer than New Orleans or
New York, and direct from the Tennessee
river to the sea. Our Atlantic canal will
be open for business, and to serve the pub
lie, twelve months in year, instead of six
or seven, like those of the icy North.

HOW THE HONEY GOES.

Hon. William D. Kelley has been inter-
viewed by Col. Forney, OF the Philadelphia
Press, who, among other remarkably wise
saws, uttered the following:
81 believe that every effort here to create
a spSsmodic resumption of specie payment
only postpones the day of permanent re-
sumption. Let me illustrate: speak with
in the bounds OF moderation when | ssy
that there a hundred millions OF our for
eign Indebtedness which is practically over
due. 1t is true that our bonds held by for
eigneTs have not matured, but if their hold
ers find that by the demand for gold they
can make larger profit than they can by
holding these bonds, it will be to their in
tcrest to send them TO be sold in the United
States markets, and to draw the proceeds
in gold. Many of these bonds were bought
for fifty cents on the dollar in green5acks,
and, therefore, looking at the question COM
mercially, We must regard them as over
DUE
Is this TO be regarded as g suggestion
that ths government pay to- the hold
ers of these bonds only what they cost
them? In other words, does Mr.. Kelley
mean that we should repudiate one-half of
what is "nomipated in the bond?"

RAILWAYS WITH THE MONOPOLY
LEFT OFF.

A correspondent writing to the NLustrGt-
ed Journal of agriculture from the Indian
Territory west of Arkansas, says:
81 do not believe the reasons for these
specUlations about cotton are properly IN
derstood. The railroad has caused them
all; it has killed the market for corn, almost
the only product heretofore, ard is caus-
ing the people to cast about for something
else to do. In the present state Of affairs
the railroad is an injury to this country. l
am in favor of railroads, but with the mo-
nopoly left off"
A railway to cost not over ten thousand
collars a mile, and worked with the great
est possible economy for the public benefit,
is the great want of the age. Monopolies
have been fairly tried by the community,
and signaIly failed to give satisfaction. 1t
is q misfortune to have no means of cheap
transportation; bat a greater one to be sub
iected to the constant ups and downs Of
railway spectators in cotton, corn, wheat
aud other staples, which they carry, or re-
fuse to carry, to market as they please.
Public law must regulate this matter, and
give US the benefit OF highways with steel
tracks and steam for motive power. No
road in the hands of few men is reliable
for the public convenience at all times.
Men use their capital to make all the mo-
ney they can for themselves, whether it
blocks up a great thoroughfare, or opens
one.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN
CANAL.

Under date Of March 81, 1873, Gov.
Smith, of Georgia, has written a circular
letter inviting the Governors and leading
citizens of Southern and Western States,
likely To be Interested in the work, to meet
in Atlanta on the Goth of May next to dis
cuss the subject of constructing a canal
from the Tennessee river in Alabama TO
nayigable waters in Georgia that fall into
tbe Atlantic; and to examine the facilities
for making this great Improvement in our
inland navigation. Accepting the report Of
competent engineers as approximately cor
,oot sncb q canal is not only feasible, but
work that promises more benefits to the
nublic for the money it viii cost, than any
other before Congress. 1.-THE South had
NJ, haen IMPOVERISHED by the late war, 1t

sea to open this new outlet to the sea Tor

st.rle II viii give an inlet direct, short
and CHEAP for the passage Of all foreign
goods consumed west of the mountains IN
this State to the Rocky Mountains II not
beyond. Indeed, it is simply question OF
time when this artificial river will float the
outgoing and incoming commerce ola lsrge
share Of the Mississippi valley. Hsa ives
tern farmers understood the home value OF
this artificial river, it would have been
opened long ago.

THE Army and Nary Journal ventures
to refer to the promotion Of Lieut.. Fred
Grant in saying, "there is little profit in
criticising injustice for which there is 10
remedy, but It is not well to disguise the
fact that great dissatisfaction has been
created in the army by the promotion of
young second lieutenant of infantry, just
from the Military Academy, to the position
of aide-de-camp on the staffof the Lieuten-
ant General, in place of officers whose SER
vices and experience so much better entitle
them to such position" While the pO-
Htical friends of the Administration admit
that "there is no remedy for injustice"
like this, these outrages upon decency and
the rights of others will continue to be per-
petrated.

THE negroes of Philadelphia, who, &C
cording to the Press of that city, Repub-
licsn organ, shave acted as body with the
Republican party from the first opportunity
they had 10 exercise their political rights
and without whom it probably is in legal
minority, have organized to secure share
of the public patronage and Offices" AS
in the South, the white Republicans of
Philadelphia have nIonopolized the offices
and made the negro voters simply "hew
ers of wood and drawers of water" for
them. The Republicans have no use for
the negroes except as voters.

AAA NV&eA1- A8h4'VAA4Nf4 1880 - -
CAMPAIGN.
L. T. carow, the United States Marshal
for the State of North Carolina, has given
instructions to his deputies not to issue any
more capisses or subpenas in any cases
wherein defendants are charged with vios
lations of the Enforcement or Ku-Klux
Act. The order has approved and en-
dorsed by the newly appointed District At
tornsy for North Carolina. The action is,
Of course, taken at the instance of the Ad-
ministration, and is to be considered an
other evidence of the Presidents disposi-
ton to conciliate and befriend the Southern
people-so at least will say the Radical
journals North and the Presidential syc-
ophants South. The Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel says: We fail to discover
wherein consists the justice or magnani-
nifty of the move. 1.-THE parties in North
Carolina are guilty of the crimes alleged
against them, the prosecution should not
cease; if they are innocent, it should never
have commenced. Ifloyal men were mo-
Tested and murdered in North Carolina
without provocation or excuse, as the parti-
sans of the Administration asserted, there
is certainly no reason why the parties
should not be punished. If in fact these
murders were myths and these charges
were lies, then there isno mercy or generos-
ity in ceasing TO perseeute guiltless men, and
additional outrage is perpet rated in
dismissing them to their homes without one
word of reparatioD, and in proclaiming to
the world that they are ''pardoned" by
tender-hearted President. If these men
are guilty of crime, why should they go un-
tried and UNPUBLISHED? If they are inno-
cent, why were others, equally guiltless,
sent to rot in the penitentisry at Albany
There lie no mercy, no formulation" in
such course, but rather injury hesped up
on injury, insult accumulated upon insult.
The world will believe, and the facts " i'll
warrant the belief, that the proceeding
against the Carolina Ku-Kiux was nothing
more nor less than campaign trick, an
electioneering device, unutterably base and
malignant, unworthy any honorable politi-
cal party.

THE New York ChurchnaGn says: sit is
possible by certain degrees of severity, to
stop crime. The California miners decided
that in state of society in which they
found themselves theft must cease. There
was some rough work, but presently the
pick and the bag of gold-dust lay unmolest-
ed where the owner put them" That is
very suggestive. If the people of New
York will adopt the plan of the California
miners they can put step to crime. What
else does it mean?

gan, processes to be alarmed at the amount

Messenger makes the telling point that the
Boston paper blinks the very surprising fact
that the Federal Government entrusts the
business of governing the South to this
very half who are destitute of education"
But for these ignorant voters, the Reputli-

THE right of police officer to fire at an
escaping prisoner recently entered into a
case tried before Judge Gilmor, at Balh-
more, who said that an officer armed with
deadly weapons ought TO be very careful,
and reflect seriously upon the necessity of
using them, and that it was a difficult
question to determine at what point an Of
ficer is justified in firing upon an escaping
prisoner. As rule, he said, deadly weap-
ons should not be used except in cases OF
high felony, where it is necessary TO secure
the arrest of the guilty party.
