work for the beucit OF all as PreSiI Mt Of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
The Georgia aud Central Railroad Compa-
nics had agreed to pool tie Western busi-
ness, aud divide the profits His principle
was that the roads should work in harmony
FOR their mutual beuclit. IIc should not
advise the stockholders OF the Georgia
Railroad to lease that road to tho Louisville
and Nashville CT any other railroad for
eight or even ten or twelve per cent. divi-
dcnas, az he believed the stockholders
could do better. His headquarters will BE-
at Louisville, and he will leave Augusta
immediately after the Georgia Railruad
Convention next week. II c npcaks in the
most encouraging terms Of tho future Of
the Southern roads in tho combination of
which the Louisville and Nashville is tho

1t has been ascortained that the rumor
circulated tho last day of the convention
OF an expected attempt to rescind OF modify
the Instructions for Grant, was truo, aud
that such stroke was actually contem-
plated by Elliott, Lee, Brayton and tho
Treasury clan. The resolution declaring
Blaino the second choice, it appears, was
only feeling to test tho temper of tho
convention and to secure tho aid 0, Blaincs
friends, but the storm of disapprc4al aroused
BY it aud its defeat, scared tho conspirators,
aud caused them to abandon the scheme.
Fears arc entertained that, Notwithstanding
The binding and unequvocal pledge in tho
Instructions, somo of the delegates will
bctray the trust coniided in then. 1t has
been an open secret for weeks that tour OF
the delegates elected had PROMISED Sherman

ton After liberal exchange of views,
Corbin, Nlcltou, Wallace, Corlcy, Earle,
Blythe, Johnson, Cochran, Fillibrown and
other Republicans equally we'll known at

from the political arena. They have come
to the conclusion that the adversely of the
last four years has failed to instruct and
improve the Republican party in this State;
that if restored to power there is no security
that the Infamous acts of the 0dunistra-
tions of Scott and Moses will no. be
repeated; that while they have no loTc for
Democratic State administration, and
desire its defeat, they would rather suffer
under Democratic thraldom than be acccs-
sorry to tho restoration Of aff,irs that would
again disgrace and injure tho National
Republican party. 1t is a settled fact that
unless something improbable occurs, mono

The Air Line Railroad.

There is great deal of talk just now
about tho contemplated road from Green
vile to Laurous, aud it is reported, GU what
is said to DO good authority, that tho Air
Line Ruilroud has offered to furnish the
oross-ties and rails if the citizens will do
tho grading. a similar arrangement has
been made with short limos which feed tho
Air Line Road at different points.
We arc Informed that the Air Limo
Road had no interest IN any road or route
East Of Charlotte, and works its. own line
OH its merits without attempting to build up
or pull down any particular town or port.
The Air Liuo We are informed. has control
Of the Rockville and Nlarysvillc Railroad,
and of tho charter OF the Buo Ridge Rail-
road iu North Carolina. There is report
that tho Air Limo Road will ultimately
build the Blue Ridge Road from either
Seneca City or Mount Airy to Marysvi!le
In order to be ablo to compete eueccssfuli,
with tho Western aud Atlantic Railroad
for Atlanta business, and secure other bust
ncss for its main line East aud West Of tht
| Blue Ridge connection. Tho officers O
the road say that there would be no dis
crimination uguinst Charleston, and thai
business that gravitatcd this way would b,
as free from obstruction as if tho road wcr,
owned here.
1t is most desirable, of course, that ou,
different lines Of railroad shnll bo owned
within the State, but, as this is not posi-
BILE, at present, the next best thing is te
have them in the hands of corporations
which are not Interested in strapahug then
