Another of the late frequent wars between
the Southern transportation companies is in
progress wi h the usual bitterness. As a con-
sequence there is a somewhat active move.
ment in shipments Of goods to the several
points touched by the rival companies imu-
lated by the low freights. The competition is
between the Southern coas:wise lines and the
Virginia and Tennessee railroads for freight
between New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore at one terminus, and Macon At
lanta, Augusta, Columbia and other Southern
points at the other terminus.
The trouble, it is stated, grew out of charges
of bad faith among the companies, and
the Georgia Central r .ilroad refused to go
into convention at Atlanta last week, where
it was proposed to arrange the difficulties.
Sixth class freight is taken from this city
New York; to Atlanta for rs cents per 100
pounds. The Baltimore and Southern water
lines pro-rate with the railroads at the low
rates, but obtain their prices to local points,
and the revenues are consequently not seri-
ously nfscted.-N. 7. Grocer.

{" Bankrupt Stock on the Markets. !.


The Chicago Inter- Ocean says, with refer.
ence to trade AMI trade prospects in that
quarter:
The failure of prominent grocery house
yesterday gives an emphasis 10 what we have
been saying for the last three OF four weeks
about the dullness of trade aud the uusatis-
factory collections in the country on account
OF the bad roads, and in short the unfavora-
BILE character of the whole winter for business
in the country; and yet the failure in ques-
ton Is by no means entirely the result of the
above circumstance. The house was inter-
ested in vessel property, and also in real estate
to an important extent, and these were proba-
bly, the most potent causes in this particular
failure.
That the jobbers Of Chicago, both in gro
ceries and dry Goods, had q good trade last
fall was beyond7question, and there is no gen.
eral cause at WORK here to cause more failures
Ii other i'm portant failures do occur, it will
be found that it is only those who have been
embarrassed ever since the panic, and who
would have done better, both for themselves
and their creditors to have wound up over a
year ago. II is true that the bankruptcy of
so many merchants in the Eastern cities has
thrown an immense amount of bankrupt
stock on the markets, and had the effect to
depress prices of almost everything, and that
this causes loss to every merchant who is
carrying stock of goods; and this, we think,
is the only unfavorable feature as ia as trade
in Chicago is concerned"

Custom-House that the indictment brought
in by the Grand Jary Friday was against E.
E. Norton, and it is said that the charges are
of grave character.

this morning, and it was inferred that matters
of great moment were being transacted in
their rooms. They did not, however, remain

| When it was feared by the President that
Babcock would be convicted through the
possible fundamentally of men connected
with the ring, who, under promise of pardon
from the legal punishment of their crimes,
would tell all they knew, he instructed
Attorney General Pierrepont to write letter
declaring that no such immunity would be
any longer allowed. in the hope that by so
doing he would brighten and intimidate many
witnesses for the government, and so save his
friend. This move is generally believed to
have been very successful in securing Bah
cocks acquittal, and serious and justifable
criticism of the President and the Attorney
General has been the result
1t is evidently the purpose of the Execu-
tive to cripple as much as possible the course
of investigation into the corrupt practices of
his henchmen, for well he knows that all
these paths lead up to the White House.
Although the entire country has applauded
the course of the committee which unearthed
the viilainy Of Secretary Belknap, and en-
dorsed the means by which they accom-
plished their task, the President, in pursu-
ance of his policy of shielding his friends
and furnishing those who are instrumental in
bringing to light the corruption of the Ex-
ecuuve household, has caused criminal
proceedings 10 be instituted against Harsh,
the principal witness against Belknap, for
bribing an officer.
The Secretary's resignation was with the
most indecent haste accepted by the Presi-
dent, in order, if possible, to save the c,imi-
nal from the legal results of his crime. The
strongest effort was made by this man to
shield the confessed thief, because of his near
relation to the White House, and with the
audacity and obstinacy so characteristic of
Grant, he takes the earliest opportunity of
giving the people another evidence that he
will not tamely submit to have his pets and
their schemes exposed and held up for their
just punishment.
1t is the same policy that called for the
Pierrepont letter, and places the President. ia
the worst possible light before the country.

GRANTS KNOWLEDGE OF RADICAL
GRIMES,

had anything been wanting to put an end
to Grants prospects for new lease of abused
power, the stupendous crime of his army
pet, Belknap, has supplied it.
II Grant was cognizant of the corrupt prac-
tees carried on under the shadow of his
mighty authority, he deserves impeachment
and permanent record for his name on the
roll of men historically Infamous; but, under
the rather strained theory that he has only
lately discovered the villainies prac
ticed by his agents, he has won
the character of being q very poor judge
Of human nature. If the President
knew what was going on without suspending
the culplits and bringing them to speedy
trial he has become q participant in their
criminality; but, if his appointees have been
for years perpetrating numberless frauds,
thefts, briberies and swindles right before his
eyes and without his personal knowledge, he
must pass for very dull and very inefficient
magistrate. It would have required but
small part of the sagacity of jackson to
enable him to learn through his official
Detectives whether gigantic swindles were
in progress or not. Il appears to have
been easy enough for Grant to keep
himself thoroughly informed as to all
the larger transactions of officers, for whose
conduct he was at least indirectly responsible.
The verdict of the country will be that it was
his duty to know what his principal agents
were doing, it being we'll known that he has at
his command unlimited means for the detec-
ton of criminality and irregularity in all the
various departments. His friends may be dis
posed to make wide allowance for his army
habit of referring to each department
everything which pertains to it, how
ever remotely, and holding the chief
of each department responsible for all
abuses. The military custom is ap
propriate for army business and it may
be trusted to when it is backed by the sane
ton of rigid rules and penalties. The pains
of courts martial and the infamy which at
taches 10 dismissal from the service are very
different from the dangers and results of trial
before civil courts where money car be used
to turn aside the shafts of Justice.
Grants own maxmi, "Let no guilty man
escape" ought to be suff .red to have full
scope in its operation, even il it shall be
made evident that he has concealed fraud and
population when it came TO his knowledge
On most frivolous pretexts Andrew johnson
Was impeached by Radical House OF Repre-
sentatives merely for political ends; it will be
a singular reversal of the DEGREES of political
fortune if Democratic House is confronted
with the solemn duty Of accusing Gen. Grant
at the bar of the Senate, of high crimes and
Thickening developments
make such a result far from impossible.

What is the Past? A checkered dream,
OF dying joy, and deathless wool
The memory of the thing Ne seem.
The knowledge Of the thing We know.
The wreck from which but conscience lives,
And lives but to deplore life
Bereft o, every hope that gives
The victory DER encroaching strife.

What is the Present? Tempting naught!
A changeful dream, still incomplete;
A web by lying fancy wrought,
Where baffied fools in wonder meet.
A passions trance-a sorrows tear
bliss, ne'er won but to be lost!
A fearful hope-a hopeful fear
And love and life at any cost!

John &. Whittier.

A musing farmers boy, working In tbs
fields, and ignorant of books, he early fele
the poetic instinct moving in his soul, bn
thought his surroundings were essentially
prosaic, and could never be sung. At last
one afternoon, while he was gathering in the
his hands. Instantly his eyes were unsealed.
There in the neighboring field was "High-
land Nary" "The Cotter's .turdsy Night !"
occurred in his own fathers pious New Eng
land home; and the birds which caroled over
his head, the flowers which grew under his
feet, were as poetic as those to which the
SEQ fish plowman had given perennial interest.
Burns taught him to detect the beautiful in
the Common, but Burns could not corrupt the
singularly pure soul of the lad by his enticing
Suggestions of idealizad physical enjoyment
man, cultivating assiduously his gift Of
song, though shy of showing it. The anti.
slavery storm swept over the land, awakening
consciences as we'll as stimulating intellects.
Whittier had always lived in region of moral
ideas, and this anti-slavery inspiration in
famed his moral ideas into moral passion and
moral wrah b. If Garrison may bs considered
the prophet of anti-slavery, and Phillips
its orator, and Mrs. Stowe it's nov
elist and Sumner its statesman, there
can be no doubt that Whittier was it's poet
Quaker as he was, his martial lyrics had
something of the energy of primitive bard
urging on hosts to battle. Every word was .
blow, as uttered by this newly enrolled sol
der of the Lord. "The SILENT shy, peace
loving man" became fiery partisan" and
held his intrepid way
"-against the public frown,
The ban of church and state, the fierce mobs
bounding down."
He reused. condensed and elevated the
public sentiment against slavery. The poetry
was as genuine as the. wrath was terrific, and
