charlotte IN. t1 observer.
There is a gentleman in this city who hi
friends claim is a cousin of GARFIELD, the new
President. The gentleman himself is toe
modest to claim anything, but admits thai
his mother and Mr.. Garteld'S were sisters
A card OF invitation 10 the Inauguration
ball, of which he is in receipt, supposed tC
have been sent him by his cousin, the Presi-
dent, seems to indicate that there is no de-
sire on the part OF the latter 10 ignore the
relationship. The gentleman's friends seem
TO think tha. he is to be congratulated upon
his lucky connection and expect it to result
in good fortune to him. He declines posi-.
lively to allow his name to be mentioned in
connection with the matter, and to get the
information here reported his wishes had to
be acceded TO, for the present at least. The
case is remarkable. That the fact should
have been kept quiet during the campaign,
Notwithstanding he has lived here all
through 1t, invests it with an additional in.
terest, on account OF its exceptional char
acter.

W4jor Il. !. G5ineS:
Ny Dear Sir,-I have yours Of recent date,
and have been delayed in replying for few
DAYS by engagements that | could not post
poGc. We have been considering for some
months the best method and extent Of re-
yiscd passenger tariff, so a, 10 increase, II
possible, the iOcGitrayCl by reduced fares in
the most convenient form. A revision has
been made, and Il new tariff OF rates Or
dercd TO be pat into force at an early date,
~ soon as the necessary ticket arrangements
can be- made for it. Thi, makes-eXccpt on
very short distances, say five TO ten miles
a reduction OF from 10 10 80 per cent. on the
several classes OF tickets, cons >picuOusly on
the rOund trip tickets, which will be sod be-
tween all regular stations, and in the NILE
age tickets, that run from cents per mile
on 800 miles to , cents on the larger ones.
The round trip tickets especially, | hope,
will be found useful and encouraging TO
local patronage when they come to pe un-
derStOOd.
I'm regard to the tariff rate on tobacco, the
subject is not without difficulties on both
sides. krow and appreciate that the cul-
tuTe Of il since the war on the line OF our
road east Of Halifax county has not been
profitable in the main, and has been con-
ducted with embarrasS ments by the maiori-
" OF planters. And yet, taking the average
market rdiue OF the product, the transporta-
ton charge should not be considered a high
one. / send you enclosed comparative
statement of the tariff on our chief aglicu-
tural products OF tobacco, wheat, and corn.
in force in 1860 and the present time, show
Ing a reduction in present rate OF from ID
10 80 per cent. Would any further reduc-
tion in rate increase production, or would
it still be restrained by other causes that we
know are large factors in the problem and
that would still exist? Your suggestion as
to cotton may help the solution. | would
ike TO see il prudenlly tried on the thin,
lieht, and dry lands Of our Southside cOun-
ties. Any practicable encouragement on
our part TO aid the effort will be cheerfully
accorded. Yours. very truly,
