LOCAL PRIDE IN GEORGIA..

The notable difference between the ne
groes in middle Georgia and those on the
seaboard--a difference that extends to
habits as well as dialect has given rise
to certain inersdicable prejudices. These
were forcibly as well ms ludicrously, il
lustrated in the passenger depot yester.
day. The airline train brought in gen
tleman from Savannah, who, accompa-
nied by his body-servant, had been
spending the summer in Habersham
county. The body-servant alluded to
was very fine specimen Of the average
coast darkey, sleek, wellconditioned and
consequential, and seemed disposed TO
look with contempt upon everything and
everybody not Indigenous TO the rice
growing region. Espying old Uncle Re-
mus, who was laugudly summing himself
against the iron railing, the Savannah
darkey approached:

This would be to make Congress
practically omnipotent, and blot out
the distinction which the United
States Constitution so carefully pre-
serves between the legislative and
executive departments of the Gov
eminent. And in the present in
stance, had the Commission voted to
receive evidence there would have
been a collapse of the whole case.
Do not imagine that the truth as to
the disputed votes in Louisiana and
Florida would have been aScertained.
Nothing at all would have been as
certained. The 4th of March would
have arrived before judgment could
have been given on any of the dis
puted States. Taking evidence
means examining witnesses from
the back counties of the Red river
and the SWamps Of Southern Florida.
1t would have taken long time to
get them to Washington. Any
number of them could have been
summoned. The examination might
have been prolonged to ano extent,
and even if both sides had zealously
FASTENED matters, the investigation
could not have been finished in a
month. But, Of course, on the Dem
ocratic side there was no intention to
make haste. The great policy Of
Mr.. Tilden's friends was delay.
While they were insisting that the
commission should hear evidence,
they had not single witness in
Washington. Depend upon it, the
decision was wise one. If wrong
has been done by strict adherence to
law, the best way is not to break the
law, but to change it. And now the
Southern States must Immediately
get rid of their returning boards.

The Cumberland Coal Trade.

1t is understood that negotiations
are in progress between the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
Company and those of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal company look
ing to a settlement of differences
about the Cumberland coal trade.
Mr.. A. P. German, president of the
canal company, and Messrs. Garrett
and King, of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, have had a conference on
the subject, and the difficulties are
in fair way of settlement. Balti-
more coal shippers who are watching
with interest all the movements in
the coal carrying trade, express the
opinion that arrangements will
be consummated by which the
two companies will divide the bus
mess and fix tariffs at uniform rates.
Clearfeld coal, it is stated has become
an active competitor with the Cum
herland for favor at Baltimore, and
the Clearfeld, it is said, can be bought
here for SO 80 "A ton delivered, while
that from Cumberland costs SO so to
SO 60, and a dealer makes the state
ment that his margin of profit even
aSthose figures is very small. He
said he cannot understand how the
Clearfeld is sold at 50 80, and believ-
ed it is put at that price to secure
trade, but its inferioritv to the Cum
berland is so manifest, that in his
opinion when the price of Clearfeld
is advanced to a profitable basis Gus
toners for it will again buy coal from
the Cumberland mines. The argee-
ment between the railroad and the
canal will doubtless have in view a
competition with the CIearfeld coal.

WHILE in the actual fighting that
has so far occurred in Asia Minor the
Turks have had a little the best of it,
the fact remains to be noted that the
strategical advantantages are I'M
doubtedly on the side of the Rus
slams. The capture of Abraham places
them in possession of a place of great
strategic importance, and more than
offsets whatever repulses they have
suffered in the neighborhood of
Kars. 1t is also to be remembered
that we are depending for the most
part for our reports form the seat of
war upon the special dispatches to
the London newspapers and these
are invariable colored in the interest
of Turkey. The correspond nts who
are acting for the British press will
notadmit any Russian success so long
as they can help doing so, and when
they are unable to deny it they are
sure to belittle its importance, while
on the other hand, they magnify
every Moslem victory and overrate
its worth. For instance, the London
Telegraph, ferociously pro-Turkish
reports a "bloody engagement before
Kars, in which the Russians were
diastrously beaten, and winds up the
account with the information that
they lost 300 killed. A fightin which
only 300 men were killed could not
have been very serious one, in fact
about what we learned TO call over
here fourteen or fifteen years ago
smart skirmish. when the Russians
attack Kars in earnest there will be
more than 800 dead left on the field.

MARYLAND Appointments.

The Baltimore american of Friday
last. contained the following appoint
ments for Maryland, which, up to
this time, has not been confirmed by
any other authority; Collector, Hon
John l.. Thomas, Jr., Naval officer,
VIM. Cochran; Surveyor of the Port,
Ellington Fulton; Postmaster, Gen.
E. B. Tyler; Marshal, John w. Nc
Clintock; District Attorney, G.
Irving Ditty; First Appraiser, j.
Henry Sellman. With one exception
these gentlemen are all residents of
Baltimore city. But then it is all
right, Baltimore should have them
all. They give such large Republican
mGjorties,-and spend all the party's
money in mass meetings for the bene-
fit of giving few of her distinguished
citizens an opportunity to "orate"
previous to an election. Yes, Mr..
President, by all means fill these
offices with Baltim Dreams. Ignore
the counties entirely. Don't give to
our Congressional District anything.

selves to countenance CT the policy
of high freights which has reduced
us to the deplorable condition which
this Ring editor describes for the
purpose of insulting our poverty.
The entire article is a glorifcation
of the canal indirectly and directly
of Alexandria as a city to which our
Western Maryland coal trade ought
to tend, and proves what we have
heretofore asserted, that any little
interest they might have in the en-
terprise was to be made paramount
to every interest which we, as Wes-
tern Marylanders and tax payers
now have. We may expect that their
success will be had only by the sacri
fee of our interests, indirectly by
higher freights, or directly by the is
sue of bonds, which, without the
States endorsement, would not be
worth the paper on which they were
printed.
We hope the managers of the B. &
0. r. B. will lower the rates on coal,
command for us the markets of the
East, and build up Baltimore, not
Alexandria.
If this is insanity or stupidity, it
seems to us to be just the article that
our Garrett county people need, and
we repeat again, we are for lower
freights without any politicians
hand in "ours."

The President talks freely about
his policy and gives the best of reas-
Ons for adopting it. According to a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times he said to Il visitor recently
that he WAS not surprised at the Re-
publican opposition to- his course, as
he had expected even more than had
been shown. Had he been a private
citizen he would probably have been
inclined to oppose it himself, but
when he became President he reflec-
ted upon the subject, and having
made up his mind that it was his
duty to endeayor to restore peace and
harmony throughout the land and
protect the rights and liberties of the
whole people, ne adopted that course
which he believes will best secure
these objects, and he intends to stand
firm in the execution of his purpose.
In addition to his policy of nom
intervation, he would recommend
that the test oath administered to
members of Congress be abolished as,
a useless and irritating reminder of
an unfortunate period in the nations
history.

Generals Ord and Sheridan have
held long conference in Chicago
upon the condition of affairs on the
Texas border. General Ord thinks
that the marauders should be pun
ished wherever found aud in the same
manner as are the hostile Indians.
He asks for leave to follow the
lawless MeXicans across the border
without referring to the central Gov
eminent to which they owe no allie
glance. The idea seems to prevail
in military circles that this will be
our future policy. Raids, they say,
must cease
