facts. He then quoted reports sho
ing that in the month of October of
this year the Clyde roads in South Car
olina made BY freight $1,000 more
than in the same month last year, and
on passengers and freight combined
$1,000 more, aud this notwithstanding
the poor crops.
Governor Bonham was interrupted
several times by President Haskell, of
the Clyde roads in South Carolina.
Superintendent e. S. Gadsden said
the commission had treated his road
very literally in, the matter Of freights,
but not so in passenger rates. They
were arbitrary in this regard. The on
ly direction in which they expected to
increase their earnings was from the
phosphate industries near the line Of
their road. Passenger travel had not
been stimulated by the reduction Of
rates by the commission.
President A. G. Haskell was then
heard in behalf Of his road. He said
that Mr.. Clyde had so completely COW
cred fhe ground that all that remained
for him to do was to give some figures
to supplement- what he had said. He
then stated that the loss of the road in
October was $29, 900 in freight and $27.-
900 in passenger businesss. The loss
in tonnage was little less than 10 per
cent. The loss on each ton hauled
amounts to$' %. On every ton, ,he said,
we actually loss 81 13.
The committee was in session until a
late hour and will hive another session

men will be heard from. So far the
railroad men have had it all their own
way.

LINCOLN IN After
Richmond had fallen into the hands Of
the Federal forces the Cabinet room Of
the Capitol was kept in exactly the
same condition as wnen occupied by
jeff Davis. President Lincoln, it will
be remembered, arrived the day after
the surrender, and while walking
through the building, inspecting the
headquarters of the C Confederacy, came
to this room. Godfrey Weitzel, who
was in charge, said; "Mr. President,
this is the chair occupied by President
Davis.'' and mo,ioned the President
to sit down. 1t was trying moment,
and those present expected to see a
look of triumph in his face as he per-
formed the act which signalZed the
complete downfall of the rebellion.
Mr.. Lincoln approached wearily, sat
down without a word, and as his great
head fell into his hands there was an
oppressive silence. His mind seemed
to be wandering back through the
dark years Of bloodsbed and carnage.
He saw visions of death, Of broken fam
lily circles. loss Of treasure, and the lit
tie mounds that dot the South under
which sleep the Northern dead. He
did not utter word, but heaved a
deep sigh, and even to this day the
warriors who stood in his presence at
the time tell the story with tears in
their eyes. Washington Letter.

THE RAILROAD FIGHT.

meeting OF the House railroad commit
tee tonight Col, III. s, >Hains, general
manager Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway of Georgia, addressed
the joint committee ut considerable
length as to the system of railways in
operation in Georgia, and the practical
working Of the commission in that
State. When the commission was
formed 1t was determined they should
make rates for the railroad companies.
These rates affected his road in one
year 81 46, 900. He went before the
commission and stated this fact, but it
did not have any practical result.
The roads made monthly reports to
IT he commissioner and brought the mat
ter to their attention in every way, and
finally they made modification in
their rates. They fixed the passenger
rate at cents mile. Lately they
have made better cotton rates. Un-
der the rates they first fixed the com
pany lost about $4,000. Before the
commission advanced the rates would
1T not have been better to allow the
railroads to fix their own rates? The
rates which the commission fix should
he such rs to allow fair return on the
property. He said he was not opposed
toa commission, but thought they
should only be allowed to make rates
when the rates made by the compa-
llies were unjust. If the State under
takes to regulate rates, of course the
companies must abide by them, but it
seemed to him that the State was bound
TO see that the roads did not suffer on
account OF too low rates. In reply to
question he stated that the railway
laws in Georgia have not stimulated
the building of new lines in that State.
1t is contemplated to build roads in
Florida, but none in Georgia. NJ.
Brawley asked II it was true, as hid
been stated in the newspapers, that
since the formation of the commission
there had been more building of roads
in Georgia than at any previous time.
and he replied that he did not think so.
Mcssrs. Brawley, Murray. Haskell
and others asked various questions.
which he readily answered. Col.
llains's statements were fair and con-
servative, and in contrast to the intem-
perate tone OF some other railroad
men.
Commissioner Bonham said he had
been connected with the commission
for five years, that he had recommended
to the Legislature the adoption of the
system in vogue in Illinoise. Illinois
has the greatest mileage Of any State,
and that system is still in operation
there. He did not feel that he occu-
pied the position of a partisan, but
represented the interest of the railroads
as well as the people OF the State. In
Georgia the Illinoise system still pre-
walls. He read extracts from the
