The New Southern Outlet for
Products.
Chicago Tribune.
The new Georgia connection ac-
quired by the louisville road has a
seaport at Savannah, and it is pro-
posed to purchase ocean vessels and
make through foreign rates that will
attract a large portion of the business
that has been done heretofore by the
Eastern lines. 1t is expected and
predicted that the new combination
will not only take the bulk of the
Southern business to the East and to
Europe by way Of Savannah, but
that it will reach out into
the West, and, with the
cooperation of the cross lines, tap the
grain and produce trade. The con
cluslon has been jumped at that such
a diversion of trade will damage Chi
cago very materially, and that Louis
vile, Nashville, Atlanta, Savannah
and Charleston will be built up at the
expense Of st. Louis and this city.
This apprehension is premature and
unwarranted. The new outlet to
the sea, with possibilities for reach
ing both the Eastern and Euro
pean consumers of Western and
Southern products at more reasonable
rates, may in the end be an ad-
vantage to Chicago. The Southern
route is not likely to divert trade
from its natural course, but it is cal
culated to compel the trunk lines that
connect Chicago with the Eastern
cities to put their rates at so low a
figure which shall prevent the South
ern route from seIzing business that
would naturally come to the former
upon equal terms. Any such result.
as this will be beneficial to Chicago,
in the end, no matter what the
means may be whereby it shall
be brought about. The conditions of
%railroading in the North, and ocean
transportation from the Northern sea-
ports, make living rates lower than
any Southern competitors and, when
they are forced to adopt this fair
policy, Chicago will derive an endur-
ing advantage from the Southern route.
which now seems to threaten this city
with a diversion of trade.

The jury in the case Of Henry Smith
returned a verdict to-day Of murder
in the first degree, with mitigating
circumstances, it is said. This is the
fourth trial Smith has had, and three
times he has been convicted Of muir
der. In the first trial the Supreme
court remanded the case, the second
effort proved a mistrial, the third he
was convicted, but a juryman had a
fit as the verdict was about to be rem
dered. The annals Of criminal juris-
prudence in Tennessee exhibit no
similar case. 1t has been two years
since the crime for which Smith
IS to suffer was committed,
aud he is convicted Of hav-
ing killed his sweetheart, CLANCY
Long, one midnight hour, with an
axe, he being jealous of her. The
death penalty is likely to be Smiths
sentence. Long is the third person

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Democratic City Economy.

Democratic City Economy.
Our neighbor, the Gazette, yestsrda,
gave us gentle hint that we should
say something in commentator of thu
economy of the Democratic City Coun
Gil, upon the principle, we suppose
that it is pity that so much self sacri
ice and devotion should 60 unheralded
and unknown. If the Democratic City
Council is really doing what the Ga
Estte claims it is, the people will notice
that fact without any extended not CO
from us. At any rate we would rather
postpone the desired eulogium unit
after the month Of July passes by. Dur
ing that month the July taxes will b.
paid, and the great avalanche # bills
against the city, some of which should
have been paid six months ago, will be
paid off. There is no knowing to out
siders how many Of these kin] of bills
have been pigeon-holed, to be brought
Oat in July for settlene emit. They may
be SO numerous for aught we know, as
70 absorb the greater part Of the city
taxes, and then leave depleted treas
uFy until July comes around again.
The Gazette itself, with all its assumed
zeal for economy, will hardly pretend
to say that the present tax rate will
raise enough money to pay eff all &C.
cumulated and outstanding bills against
the city as well as all expenses
to be met tor the last half of the
year. The editor of that paper knows
how hard it has bsen to make ends
meet until the time for the payment of
the July taxes. The chairman of the
Finance Committee of City Council,
who is an attsche of that paper, could
enlighten the people in regard to the
large gas and lamp bills and also many
Others, which have been pushed back
with promise 10 pay in July. This
should not be SO. When the Legisla.
ture passed the present law in the
shape of an amendment to the city
charter, it was with the express pur-
pose to prevent the accumulation of
floating debt, but in the face of this
the Democrats of the City Council have
80 managed affairs that near the close
OF the year there is a large floating
debt to be paid of with the next years
taxes.
We presume this will rot be denied.
zach year the expenses Of the city
should be met by the taxes and reve-
nues of that year. The Gazette could
give us very important inf, rmation if
it would. 1t could tell us the total
amount of bills and Liabilities which
are unpaid and are await 6 the COL
lection of the July taxes, 60 that they !
Gan be paid. Whatever these bills and
liabilities amount 10 and for which |
there Is no provision now made, form q
floating debt, debt that should not
exist. We do rot pretend to ray that
such debt has been dishonesty created,
nor would We even intimate that there
has been wasteful extravaganza in the
management of the city, but W, do say
there has not been provision made for
the payment Of bills, contracts ard OBJ
legations as they coma due and conss-
quently there is a large floating debt
awaiting the collection Of the July
taxes for payment. This amount the
Gazette can give if it would, and this
it ought to give before it asks Republi-
can papers 10 commend the ecl lomy of
