The ChattahOOchee FxtensiOn-TO be
Built via Climax.

The question of the route of the Chat
tahOochee extension which is to connect
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way with the Atlantic and Pensacola
Railroad, and will be a part of the
through line from New York to San
Francisco, has been before the Board of
Directors of the first named road for
severa! months, and was by them referred
to a special committee of three. The
question which was to be decided was
whether the extension should be built by
way of cambridge or Climax.
The people of Bainbridge were greatly
interested in the matter, being very
anxious that the line should pass through
their city. and the committee of the
Board Of Directors of the s., F. and ".
Railway invited them to appoint a citi-
zeu's committee to visit Savannah and
present their side of the question. In
response to this invitation, the citizens
of Bainbridge appointed committee,
who visited this city, and a protracted
conference was held between them and
the committee of the Directors. No de-
cision was reached, however, and the
whole matter was referred to the full
Board OF Directors, who, at a meeting
held on the goth ultimo. passed a reso-
luton deciding upon the Climax route as
the mos. advantageous, as follows;
Pssolted. That the report OF the Commit
toe of Conference with the eltlzens OF Balm
b-idge he received and spread upon the
minutes. ,-.-..-
nv the Chattshoochee extension OF this
eompany's line are Of such importance as TO
REQUIRE its location upon the shortest prac-
ticsble route, which, as shown by the re
mort OF the committee, leaves the main line
at Climax and not at cambridge.
Resolved, That the board recognizes, from
the report Of the committee, the valuable
aid which the citizens OF Bainbridge have
given IN the past to the construction OF the
line now owned by this company, and it
would gladly have adopted the route
through their city but for its physical ditn
culties, and for the important consdera-
lions already referred to.
ReSOl, ed, That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished to the Chairman OF the Con
ference Comm ttee, with the request that ne
will forward 1t to the Chairman OF the com
mittee of cambridge citizens.
This will be a great disappointment to
the people of cambridge, who have for
wears looked forward to the extension of
this line through their city. They must
appreciate the action of the Board of
Dircc' Ors, when they reflect that the pro
posed extension is to be a portion of a great
through line, and that the determination
of the board was arrived at because the
route via Climax is direct, aud will save
about seven miles in distance, besides
large sum of money in tie cost of con-
struction. These are points of such
grave importance that it was impossible
that they could be disregarded by the
Board of Directors.

The convention of cotton seed crush
ers recently held in New York developed
some very interesting facts connected
with the new and specially Southern
industry of pressing oil from cotton
seed. Statistics show that this business
has steadily grown. In 1877 the pro-
duction of cotton seed oil amounted to
$4,000 barrels; in 1873 to 98. 900 barrels;
in 1879 to $4,000 barrels, and in 1880
to 147, 900 barrels. 1t was also shown
that at one time large quantities of the
oil were exported to Italy and Spain, to
be re-eXpoIted from those countries I'M
der the brand of olive oil; but the Italian
and Spanish Governments have imposed
on it heavy duty, which discourages
its importation. The home demand for
the oil is, however, rapidly increasing,
and the mills have no difficulty in dis
posing of all their product at paying
prices. The cake and cake meal, which
are the residuum of the pressed seed,
form an excellent feed for animals, par
ticularly mich cows, and the meal is
also valuable fertilizer.

Serious charges are being made against

rotary to the de faet0 administration of
r.. B. Hayes. He is charged on oath
with having been a regular claim agent,
the secret and influential partner of a
man named J. w. Fralick, who entered
into a regular contract with the people
who were seeking appropriations for the
completion of the monitors begun under
Robeson's regime. If these charges are
true the private secretary of the late

Hon. Jefferson Davis has recently
made another speech, and Northern
Radical organs feel like fretting them
selves to death because they can make no
political capital out of it. 1t was TO the
negroes on his Briarfield plantation in
Mississippi, who serenaded him on the
occasion Of his visit to the place few
DAYS ago. In it he advised them to
cultivate cordial and friendly relations
with the whites of the South, and recog-
njze the fact that their interests and
those of their white fellow citizens were
mutual. The fact, too. that the negroes
voluntarily serenaded Mr.. Davis is an
other bitter dose for the Northern stall
war; whose mission in life is to make
their creduIons readers believe that the
s.aneh rebel is the special oppressor of
s.the poor African" ~

On Friday last the Louisiana LegisiA-
ture passed an amendment to the State
constitution providing for fair and
honorable adjustment of the State debt
This action virtually settles the question
and removes the debt entirely out of
politics. The New Orleans Times
Democrat believes that the beneficial
result that will flow from this evidence
on the part of Louisiana to deal justly
with her creditors cannot be estimated,
but they will soon be felt in every branch
of business, in every channel of trade, in
appreciated values of all kinds, ininfow-
ing capital, and in capital released from
investments, in which it has been locked
up for years. Governor McEnery also
telegraphed that the action of the Legis-
lature should be the occasion for general
rejoicing, since the honor and credit of
tue State is Vindicated.

1t is stated that General Chalmers
s'the hero of Fort Pillow, has received
official assurance from the Republican
National Committee that "nO Republican
opposition will be made TO his candidacy
for Compress from the shoestring dis
trict of Mississippi" Hence we may
infer that if Chalmers should be
elected he can be safely counted on
hereafter as a good enough Republican

The TariF Commission.

This rowing body Of appointed fnan-
ciers, has about spent itself, together
with a large amount of public money.
From the latest account we had Of the
proceedings and progress it was deep
ly engaged on peanuts and fertilizers,
both of which needed protection accord
ing to the long and tough arguments de-
livered to the Commission by select pea
nut and fertilizing speakers. 1t is
thought the Commission will hang on
peanut industry.
There was saying about Walpole, a
famous English Minister of the time of
the first Georges, that the committees
he set to work, never failed to find what
they were sent to look for. Whether
this was intended as compliment to
the sagacity of the Minister, or to the
skill Of the committees, We need not
pause to consider. The committees
were like the South Carolina boy, who
was sent to hunt gophers. 1t was
gohper or no dinner. He must find
one. This Tariff Commission was sent
to find that a protective tariff was the
one absolute need of free country of
boundless resources. OF course they
found it. The Hon. Duncan F. Kuner,
a very shrewd man, sweetened by Louis
lana sugar, says, the evidence on the
side of protective duties, is very strong.
''The thing that country like ours
needs, is development and high duties
on imports, give that thing
The rice men stand on this neat and
logical platform. The peanut men

order, that each member of the Com
mission be allowed TO fire off. 1t won't
