The Marietta & N. Ga. Railroad.

The Atlanta Board of Trade, com
posed of the best business men in the
city, met last week: and among 9TH
er things discussed at length the
Propriety of raising subscription in
aid of the Marietta and North Geor-
gia railroad. Joe Barton, McAf!e,
and others were present to solicit
subscriptions. Speeches were made
and the general feeling was in favor
of investing in the road. The fol-
lowing resolution offered by John IL.
James was adopted:
Resolved, That the Board of
Trade, looking to the interest of At
lanta, would commend to our citizens
the Marietta & North Georgia Rail-
road as an important feeder to the
already heavy business Of our city,
and express the hope that every
citizen called upon will tender sub
stantiaI aid to this important enter
prise.

head of their railway strategy at Charlotte
matters not at all if it were bodily exposed
on the Roanoke, where all its Vlgor ant
power to protect the North Carolina sea
ports is lost aud wasted.
In other words, their fears and JeaiouSles
are ;uiudiciously directed at Richmond
while all their wealth has crept away by The
East to the North.
Let the North Carolnians adopt the policy
of giving free and uninterrupted passage te
the trade OF the South and West, and trans
fer all their breaks to the outward northern
gates upon her northern border. For our
selves, We are opposed to all breaks. We
would that all railroads in the Union were
upon uniform gauge. But that is impossl
bic now. There must be breaks between Us
and the South somewhere; and North caro-
lima would prove her wisdom by fixing them
on her northern border. If she wants cities
she could not commit a greater folly than by
obstrucing breaks Of gauge or anything
else-freight on the routes 10 them.
For the sake of good neighborhood be-
tween two States famed for their deeds and
remarkable for their enduring friendship
and harmony, we trust We shall see ne"
policy in North Carolina and very sim
cerely, we say, we hope this no less for the
welfare of the reyered cold North State"

Anti-Commercial,

As long ago as 1888 the Governor of North
Carolina Governor DUDLEY put in his an
nual message the following views:
taking it for granted that the leading
policy of the State in relation 10 internal i'm.
provements is to conduct the produce of liz
western section TO one Of its one ports, 1t can
be q matter Of not the slightest importance to
the people Of North Carolina ,cheuer cttt'
zeas of other States should occupy t,oetce
hours or as many days IN passing through
the Stale"
There has been ample time since that day
for an intelligent people to discover that such
doctrine as this is contrary TO the true spirit
Of commerce and civilized intercourse. But
there are still not few prominent persons
in North Carolina who seem TO have been
pupils of Governor DUDLEY. That fine old
adage amongst hospitable gentlemen, "Wel-
come the coming and speed the parting
guest" is proper motto for liberal and
fourishing commerce. Speed the coming
and the going of travellers and freghts. De-
tain unreasonably nothing in the line Of COM
MERGE The highest degree Of satisfaction
and thrift for the community is impaired by
this policy. No enlightened community
ought to expect berefts and advantages from
the ways and means of commerce which it
would withhold from others. Christianity
and civilization concur in censuring the
sordid desire that would Illustrate the just
distribution OF the means Of living and the
blessings Of commerce under the advanced
systems of transportation that now prevail
in the land.
sGovernor DUDLEY was q gentleman Or
kind disposition and hosp:table habits. Bur
be had not studied the subject be talked
abast. The principle upon which his views
rested was the same that led the Algerines
to levy tribute upon all sailors that came
their sway. That principle cannot, We sheuld
think, have any Grm root now in North Car-
olina.
