ANOTHER BOOM.
A New and Powerful Railroad
Company
To Construct a Road from Macon
to Knoxville.

A Macon dispatch to the Atlanta
Constitution, dated February 18th,
says:
"In gathering up the news to>
day, / learned of the existence of a
new and powerful company whose
operations have remained secret
so far, yet whose arrangements are
in every respect complete. AS soon
as the lease muddle is disposed of
the prospectus of this company will
be given you, but until then 1 am
restrained to a mere outline. The
Macon and Cincinnati rails
road company, holding charter
for a railroad from Macon to Knox
Vile, Tenn, and having the right-of-
way as far north as Lawrenceville,
has been revived. The company is
composedof Georgia and New York
capitalists. Proper surveys and es-
Inmates, have been made, and the
company is prepared to break
ground in twenty >four hours notice.
This road is the link to connect the
Brunswick and the Cincinnati South
ern via Knoxville and Carey
vile, Tenn. 1t will run
through Monticello, Covington,
Lawrenceville, Dahlonega and
possibly Dawsonville. A glance at
the state map will show this road to
be almost an airline from Bruins
wick to the west, and surveys and
estimates prove the saving in dis
tance to be 1913 miles. l am ins
formed that within eighteen months
from the time of breaking ground
the road, under its present manage
ment, will be in running order.
This is not as improbable as it ap.
pears at the first glance. The
charter is the most liberal ever
issued to southern railroad, and is
perfect in every respect. My in
formation comes from director in
the new company.
The Macon and Cincinnati rail.
road will connect Wilson and Mc>
Ghee's road with the Brunswick.
Viewed in that light, the import
ance they attach to the purchase of
the latter road is easily understood.
AS part of straight line from the
west to the sea, the Macon and
Brunswick road would be cheap at
1,125,OO0 A few days will de-
velop the policy of this new comN
pany, full particulars of which, with
the names Of the parties in control,
l will telegraph you"

THE Charleston News and Courier is
certainly candid journal. In an edi-
torial on the question of registration,
ii says:
1.-The expected effort was to dis
franchise temporarily many thousand
colored persons, which was in cur
opinion, the principal recommended
tons Of the bill"
This, 1t will be observed, Is the same
view our Washington correspondent
takes of 1t in his letter on the third
page Of this MORNINGS issue. On this
account we suppose he will miss his
usual amount of abuse fir ON demo
cratic "equirisn hereabouts.

Mr.. Stephens (Ga.) then address
ed the house in opposition to the
2lst rule, saying he did not believe,
that according to the democratic
doctrine of Jefferson, Madison and
jackson, it was ever intended that
appropriation bills should be encum-
bered with outside legislation. If
there had been any progress in leg
islation in this country it had been
in excluding from appropriation
bills other matters as riders. He
repudiated the so>ealled democratic
doctrine that it is proper to seek
redress Of grievance by Withholding
appropriations. 1t had never been
democratic doctrine. 1t was mon
archical doctrine. The new doctrine
of making war on the veto power,
through means of appropriation
bills was not democratic, was not
republican and was anti>eonsti>
tutlonal. lie had opposed it during
the extra session last year, he op-
posed it now, and should always
oppose it. -
At the conclusion of Mr.. Ste
phens' remarks the house again
went into committee of the whole
on the revised rules, and finally
adopted, in place of clause 3rd
and all previous amendments, a
substitute offered by Mr.. Morrison
(Ill), to the effect that no provision
of any appropriation bill or amend.
ment thereto changing existing law
shall be in order, except such as,
being germane to the subject matter
of the bill, shall retard expenditures.
This substitute was adopted by 123
to 95, amid applause on the repub-
lican side. Several other amend
ments to this clause were offered,
but voted down and its considera
tion brought to a close by the
adoption of Mr.. Morrison's substi-
tute. At 4.45 the House adjourned.

KING ALFONSO, of Spain, must be
q curious sort of fellow. Olive Logan
describes him as "a dark eyed, dark
skinned Spanish boy Of %, generally
dressed in light gray overcoat, prim-
rose colored gloves and tall black
hat" The curiosity about him is the
idea of man Of his exalted rank
promenading the plaZas and espls-
nades without any trousers. If he
couldn't afford to buy them it would
be another thing, but he has the cash.

quiry into his statements finds them
to be gross exaggeration aud that the only

Albanian independence.
The N. Y. Herald

z In the cable news we give the story of
an English correspondent in Albania. to
the effect that decisive measures to declare
and defend Albanian independence have
been determined upon. [. has been rec
ognized for long while that the Albanian
objection to separation from the govern.
ment of the Sultan did not present the
whole mind of the nation of that subject,
and that the objection did not rest upon
regard for the Sultan. but rather on ap
prehension of a new ruler. To part with
the Sultan for the sake of Independence
is calamity the Aibanians are fully con-
WINGED they can endure. Therefore the
report from the Manchester Guardian is
probably accurate enough.

The great mistake Republican orators
make is, that q colored voter once Re-
publican is always one. Men are constant
ly changing opinions and because the COL
ored voters at thea south are organizing
Democratic clubs, the Republicans make
the charge of bulldozing. They imagine
that for a negro voter to change his poll
tics is impossible-andt that q colored
voter canot be induced to do SO except he
is bull: dozed into it. This is the merest
t@addie. of course, but it is about all the
Republicans have to say in regard to the
change of political sentiment among the
colored voters in the SOUTH The reason
why this change is occurring, is because
the negroes RECOGNIZES who are their best
friends They know that the Republican
managers make fine promises and never
fulfill them; Hhatthey are willing to have
the colaEediyote. but that so tar as politi-
cal recognition goes. the colored voters are
not to be considered In fact the colored
voters in the south are beginning to real
ize that the Republican managers are
frauds, that they promise much and per
form little and knowing this they are
voting the Democratic ticket. not because
they arezbull-dezed but because tthey feel
that they will be more likely to be benef-
ted under Democratic rule Than under
Republican rule. That is about all there
is to it, and the flaming stories of outrages
are mere inventions. of Republican iaspi-
ration, and peddled about the country
for political effect.

L is estimated that at least 10000 Re
publican votes will be cast for Judge
Trumbull, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, which were cast for Cullom in

vote will make Trumbull's election sure.

will be Democratic 10 November.
