Trouble Between a North Carolina
and a Georgia Company.
Dispateh to IndlistradI Soul

A Georgia company is building a railroad
from Marietta, Ga, to Murphy, N. q. The
latter place is a few miles from Ducktown,
which Is to be the terminus of the Western
North Carolina Railroad. The line Of this
road from Asheville to Ducktown has been
surveyed an located, and runs through a
ravine between two mountains called Mar
bic Gap. An examination shows that the
mountain on each side Of the gap Is pure
marble. The location Of the road
runs along this gap for over q
mile. The marble is very valuable,
and the Western North Carolina Railroad
Company confidently expect TO realize
enough money from this source to pay for
building the road from Asheville to Duck
town, which will cost $5,OOO,OOO. The road
is now running to Pigeon river, in Haywood
county, and q force OF one thousand con-
yicts are steadily working toward Duck
town. The Marietta and Georgia Company
is building to Murphy and is trying to get
possession of Marble Gap, because it is
their best route and because of the
value of the marble. A few days ago this
eompanv. with one hundred hands,
took forcible possession of the route
surveyed and located through Mar
Bile Gap for the Western North Caro-
lima Railroad, and is constructing its
own road-bed. The legal adviser OF the
Western North Carolina Company has gone
to the scene OF action for the purpose Of
preventing this Interstate larceny. If legal
proceedings should not avail immediately
to dispossess the trespassers, Governor Jar
Wis will be asked to send sufficient number
of State troops to drive the invaders back
into Georgia. 1t is possible that there may
be copfic. between the two States. The
Georgia company does not appear TO have
any legal grounds for its acting, but 10 is
said It has taken this course in order to COM
pei the Western North Carolina Company to
grant it connections and freight privileges
and other railroad accommodations.

An improbable story comes from
Washington that the reason why the
Democratic Congressional Committee is
not working more actively is because
prominent leaders of the party take the
ground that it would be unfortunate for
the Democracy to obtain control of the
next House. They reason that in that
case the Democrats would not only be
come partly responsible for legislative
blunders, but with Republican Senate
and President, they could not inn
press a Democratic policy upon
the country. Furthermore they con,
tend, as is alleged, that the Re
publican party has ventured upon
course OF reckless extravaganza,
which, if continued, will sweep them
from power in 1884 This story is
wholly incredible. The Democrats can
not entertain such foolish ideas. If the
Republicans carry the next House they
will probably make short work of the
Treasury surplus. and having done that
they will become so exceedingly economi-
cal that by 1884 they will deceive the
people into. believing that they are very
paragons of virtue. 1t will not do for
the Democrats to run the risk of allow.
ing the party of high moral ideas to hang
itself by giving it rope enough. Its
leaders are too cute to be caught in any
such trap.

An indignant ''Colored Voter" of
Georgia, writing to the New York San
from Savannah, gives the reasons for the
recent action of the black Republicans
of this State. He does not mince his
words, but talks plainly. He says:
''Allow me to inform our Northern
friends that the purpose of the stand we
have taken against the white Republicans
OF Georgia, known as the syndicate, is to
break up the gang. We are able to look
out for our own political interests, and
are in hope that these fellows will receive
an appointment to go West and fight the
Indians, for their game is up in Georgia,
and they are played out. believe the
cOlOred men of the South will vote the
straight Democratic ticket in 1884. I'M
less the Republicans make some effort to
pay back the money out of which they
swindled us in the Freedman's Bank
operations. Until that money is paid
back, they must never expect any favors
from U.s.
Here is nut for our Northern friends,
the Radicals, to crack. 1t is quite evil
dent that Radical ste lings from, and
receptions prachced upon, the poor
African" are, at length, like chickens,
coming home to roost, and that the
negro cannot henceforth be relied on to
vote the Radical ticket, simply because
he is negro.

The Cincinnati Commercial thinks Mr..
Stephens will make an excellent Gov
ernor. 1t says Of him: 1--WE believe him
to be the firm friend of the Union, and
imbued with such a national spirit that
he is able to rise above sectional and
local preiudices. During his career in
Congress since the war, he has enjoyed
the confidence and respect of his fellows
on both sides of the House. His integ-
rity is above suspicion. There is nothing
of the small trading and iobbing Politi-
clan about him"

Among the measures signed by the
President on the last day of the recent
session Of Congress were the joint reso-
buttons for a commission to investigate
the decline of American shipping, and
bill to encourage Geographic commute
cation with Europe. This bill provides
for the incorporation of a new ocean
telegraph company, and grants it the
needed franchises. 1t also makes specific
provision against consolidation with
other companies and watering of stock,
and limits the charge for all messages to
twenty cents a word. 1t is believed that
If the company is put into operation
under these restrictions there wiz be
some chance of breaking down monopoly
and maintaining competition.

The statistics of foreign trade of the
United States for June, compare very
favorably with the figures for May. The
imports of merchandise decreased from
SOS, $50, O29 to $62, sos, $50, and the ex
ports increased from $40, 178, 968 to $50.
959,871. But making the comparison
between June of 1881 and June of 1892,
the result is unfavorable to the current
year. The increase of imports of mer.
chandise thus shown is $3,747, 1877, and
the decrease of exports $12, 400, 4O8 The
specie movement for the month shows
an excess of exports of $685., $50,
against similar excess of s., O22, 152 in
1881, the imports in June, 1882, being
only 1,O73, 1923.

Baltimore Day: "That some Southern ne
groes manage to get along comfortably with
out interfering in Radical politics, appears
every day. One of the most remarkable
cases is that of an old man of 80, living near
Gainesville, Ala, who, with the assistance of
his wife, cultivstes fifteen acres In corn and
ten in cotton, doing his blowing with an OK,
which cost him SIS three years ago. Last
year he made three hundred bushels OF corn
and three bales Of cotton, out of which he
had to pay only $50, and that for rent. This
year he expects to raise four bales Of cotton
ard not less than four hundred and fifty
bushels of corn, besides having meat
enough for his own use another year, and
about twelve hundred pounds to sell. This
Is a much better record than that of ex-
Cadet Whitaker and ex-Lieutenant FlippeF,
who, If they win follow the example OF this
old negro, may 10 turn become as useful CIT
liens. The future Of the black man at the
South is all he can desire, and II he does not
take advantage Of the situation he win have
only himself to blame"

The opinion prevails in Washington
that Dorsey caused his letter to Garfield,
in which he impudently advised the
President to consult Arthur and Conk
ling about his Cabinet, to be published
just at this time in the hope of inducing
the administration to relax its pressure
for a conviction Of the star route gang.
Whether his hope has been realized OF
not is not known, though his friends
have been claiming with unusual posi-
tiVeness during the past few days that
he would not be convicted.

Colonel P. w. Alexander, now residing
at Marietta, was Chairman Of the Nor.
wood Executive Committee during the
last campaign. In an interview with a
reporter of the Atlanta Constitution a
few days since, he expressed the opinion
that the Democratic differences of two
years ago had all passed away, and the
supporters of Mr.. Norwood would. as 8
rule, support Mr.. Stephens as cordially as
VIII the friends of Governor Colquitt.
We always contended that the nomina
ton of Mr.. Stephens would harmonic
the Democracy of Georgia.

Of the fact that about 81, 600, 900 is to be
expended on the improvement of the
Mississippi That is always the way.
Hundreds of millions of public money
can be spent in the North and it is all
right, even though the expenditure re-
suits only in benefit to that section. But
when few millions are to be spent on a
work of national importance it is all
wrong, because the expenditure is to be
made in the South.

Arab Bey evidently thinks he is "a
bigger man" than Abdul Hamid, for he
not only refuses to acknowledge himself
a rebel upon the declaration of that Off
cial, but even assumes that the Sultan
himself is recreant to the faith. and
should therefore be deposed. He has,
in consequence, declared Abdul no
longer ruler of Turkey, and has nomi-
mated the Sheriff of Mecca as his sue
cessor. Arab is either crazy or has
determined upon playing remarkably
cheeky game. After he is whipped out
he ought to come to the United States
and join the Radical party.

Daniel Webster's Advice.

Other people may find the advice OF
Daniel Webster to his grandson OF
value to themselves. He wrote 1t
about four years before his death:
1.-TWO or three things l wish now to
impress on your mind. First, you
cannot learn without your own efforts.
All the teachers in the world can
never make a scholar of you if you do
not apply yourself with oil your might.
In the second place, be of good char
acter and good behavior-a boy OF
strict truth and honor and conscience
in all things. Have but one rule, and
let that be always to act right and fear
nothing-but wrong doing. Finally,
Remember your Creator in the days
of your youth You are old enough
10 know that God has made you and
given you a mind and faculties, and
will surely call you to account. Honor
and obey your parents, love your sister
and brother, be gentle and kind to all
avoid peevishness and fretfulness, be
patient and under restraint. Look for
ward constantly to your approaching
manhood, and put off every day, more
and more, all that is frivolous anc
childish -

a GOOD RECORD.

Col. John NJ. Sullivan, late Collector
of Internal Revenue for this district,
has perhaps as good record as an
officer as any man could possibly have.
On the going out Of Office of these rev.
enue collectors it is customary with
the department at Washington not to
settle and close up the accounts of the
retiring collectorsfor some months. But
Col. Sullivan determined not to wait
the usual routine of delay as to the
closing of the books in his case So
within the last ten days he went to
Washington, had his accounts all gone
over, certified to as correct, the books
closed and final discharge entered and
handed him. During his term in the
Office he had collected aud paid over to
the Government the large sum Of eight
millions, t,oO hundred and eighty odd
thousand dollars. His accounts
squared at the department to cent.
