THE Board Of Railroad Commissions oi
Georgia have issued q circular to the rail.
roads Of the State, notifying their man.
ayers that after February lst they would
not be allowed to charge more than three
cents per mile for passengers, which is a
reduction OF two cents per mile, the pass
enger rate at present being five cents per
mile. The action Of the commission has
created strong feeling against the board
bY the railroad managers OF the State, as
this decision ia final. The feeling, 1t is
said, is 80 strong that it will not surprise
any one to sec railroad and anti.railroad
parties formed in Georgia. The power ol
the board ia vested in it by the State
Loaisrige C0ttrier-JOIrRdl.
This point OF general interest in the
above paragraph calculated to attract at
tention is this, that il under their chartert
the Georgia railroads had the power tc
charge i've cents per mile, where did the
commissioners get the power to reduce II
to three? And II railroad commissioner
in Georgia can exercise such power why
Canno. commissioners be appointed in al
the States to exercise the same powers. Ii
1t under the reserved and inalienabIt
right Of the people to regulate railroads
brought 10 light in Judge Blacks receu
letter, that Euch commissioners can be ap'
pointed?

The Proposed Road TO the Coke Field


ArcuINsoS, Wash. Co., Pa, Dec. II.
E!tor Into!llSsucsr.
Would il not oe better that the propos.
ell road from Wheeling to the coke fields
should leave the Hempfeld somewhere
near West Alexander and form a junction
by the nearest route with the proposed
road from Pittsburgh to Chicago juno.
ton. in case the latter road should come
IS far south as West Middletown there
would only be gap OF thirteen miles TO
ill, and 10 case 1t comes still further south,
to The Buffalo creek valley, gap OF only
about i've miles. A. Fl.
We fear that our correspondent does not
comprehend the purpose OF the. proposed
road, as far as Wheeling Is particularly
concerned init. 1t is to secure an inde-
pendent road to the coke fields, and not
simply road that might shorten the dis.
tAucs few miles and yet be dependent
on two other roads for its connections. Its
value would be seriously isopardizsd by
the arrangement proposed by our cores
poldent. It would bc the creature Of cir
slmstanceI and adverse interests at both

In the way of local and home
news, we have to report the crops to
be in extra fine condition. The corn
is made and soon its fodder will be
saved and cured; the cotton is far in
advance of last year, and in many
places is already well boiled, and the
cane crop never was more promising.
The labor is already in demand, and
good laborers can now command good
wages and full rations, and should
seek Rapides for a boom in their line;
five hundred extra laborers can find
employment at once. The river is
still rising slowly, with fair naviga

three or four trunks were all that

almost irreparable. An insurance OF
