WAsHINGroN,, Nov. l9.--It is

Georgia over the appointment Of Mr..

compensation to Mr.. Spccr ON This ac
count. One Of the matters which will
be fully ventilated at the approaching

WE notice in the ''Grccnvillc News

of sarcasm from the would-bc tren-
chant pen Of correspondent from
Looper's Postoffice, in this County.
who, under the cover of nom de
plume, gives prominence to q trivial
error to be found in the back numbers
of The MESSENGER. He cloaks HIM
self III a fictitious name, and with a
full knowledge Of the fact that the cr-
ror was an oversight on the part of the
editors and printers, he attempts a
poor play at sarcasm. But like all
men Of his type, he must have an out
let, or else the world might conclude
that he has been drowned in the pool
Of insignificancc. However, from the
pen Of "Sigma' there yet may spring
a production that shall tell posterity Of
his fame.
The following is what he had to say
The Easley messenger. (Easley, S.C.) 1883-1891, 1883-11-23
OUR RAILROAD.

We note with interest the result Of
the meeting Of the Board of Directors
of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Rail Road, Which was held at
Aiken Court House last week. For
some time general interest in this new
enterprise had apparently been waning
but brighter day dawncd upon it, and
Pickcns County might well feel CRATE
ful to a few Of her noble sons, who, by
their thrift and crncrgy, have helped to
bring about such tlattcring signs Of sue
cess. While Grecnville so strongly
contested for the main line Of the road
she met her match in the eVer-prO-
yressive County of Pickcns. She was
confronted by men, too stalwart-like TO-
be bulfcd off by every stcntorian cry,
and was attempting to secure with too
vain a hope, a detection from the al
together natural route. We desire
every reader Of THE MESSENGER to
notice particularly the article on the
first page entitled, "More cncoura-
giny." The report Of the Chairman Of
the delegation sent by Grcenvlle to
Aiken, is in substance, included in it.
The hope Of securing the main line Of
the road, by our neighboring city, has
become Il forlorn hope. We have the
road, and may expect to see its COM
pletion, at no very distant day in the
future. The thriving little town Of
Easley may yet become the Atlanta Of
South Carolina. She may be the ter
minus for the Savannah Valley road,
and after all be made the distributing
point, which evidently she should be.
Let Easlcy congratulate herself on
the fact, that Col. r. E. Bowen, one
Of her most worthy men, has been
elected Vice-Prcsidcnt Of the road.
In this enterprise he has known no
such word as fail. In the darkest mo-
mcnts of despair, hope found its exist
ence in his heart. He was the first to
initiate the muscular movement, and
will be the last to lend his very potent
influence to this grand scheme. He
says We have the road now ii we do not
go to sleep. See to it tevcry body, that
his hands are upheld in this matter, and
show your appreciation of him, who
takes such an interest in you and in
your future welfare.

A Deserved Complim emit.

Gen. Jas L. Harris was the subject Of
very neat compliment during the SEES
sion OF the Press Association. The
thorough equipment Of the military
companies Of Columbus is due, in no
small degree, to the special interest taken
by Gen. Harris, in their behalf, and on
Thursday last they availed themselves
of his attendance at the Press Association
TO express their appreciation in the
shape Of an elegant gold-headcd cane.

A Manly vindicatiOn.


We have the pleasure to print in
another column, just and manly re-
ply Of Representative Wharton J. Green,
Of North Carolina, 70 unfair assaults Of
the n. Y. journal called the "Protec-
zionist" upon the South, including vile
attack upon Mississippis most honored
and best beloved son, Jefferson Davis.
The rctort Of Mr.. Green goes directly
10 the mark. The Protectionist is an
organ Of the monopolists, and to serve
their cause IL strives 10 utilize the pre-
yailing prejudice Of the more populous
section Of the Union against the weaker
section, by making it appear that the
South in her rebellious nature has never
abandoned herself TO the idea that it
would be good for the country to tax
the mass Of the people thereof to create
monopolies and aristocratical establish
ments in order that q favored few may
live in wealth and luxury. 1t il honor
able 10 the South that she has been CON
sistent in her opposition to a govern
mental policy Of partial and discrimina-
ting legislation for the benefit Of priv
LEGGED few at the expense Of the toiing
many A fair test Of the devotion Of
the Southern States to the doctrine of
equal rights to all, exclusive principles
to none, was demonstrated when they
formed separate government Of their
own ut Montgomery, Alabama, in 1861.
The Convention that framed the Con-
stitution Of the Confederate States, was
composed Of men Of all former parties.
1t adopted by q unanimous vote as their
organic law a clause declaring that mo
bounties should be granted from the
treasury, and that no duty or tax on
imp0rtations from any other country
should be laid to foster or promote any
branch Of industry" This is whole
some doctrine, rs good for adoption now
az it was twenty-five years ago. 1t is
good for all sections of the Union.

The Press Association.

The official proceedings of the Pres,
Association not being available for in
scrtion this week, we can only give tn,
list of officers elected the compliments
~ resolutions, and the Revised Consti
tuition which was adopted. The City OF
Jackson was selected as the place OF
next meeting. A very complimentary
vote was east for Water Valley.
There were eighty-two journals repre-,
scented at Columbus, by about one hun.
drcd and fifty persons, and there were
fully one hundred morc who availed
themselves Of this opportunity Of visit
ing Columbus. Il will be noted by the
Constitution adopted that the qualiiica.
ton for membership and the basis Of
representation in the annual meetings
have been definitely fixed, aud will be
limited To those who ARE actually con
nected with the press.
The meeting at Columbus could not
have been more pleasant. The citizens
exerted themselves 20 the utmost to make
all things agreeable. The resolutions
adopted indicate the rich bill Of fare
which was provided in the way of social,
musical and literary entertainments.
The first and second days of the sos.
sion were devoted to cuisines" and the
discussions were fraternal aud courteous
throughout Indeed the general bear
ing of the press gang ELECTED compliment
tary mention in the community. The
presence Of SO many bright and beauti-
ful ladies in the party evidently had
most salutary influence.
We were pleased to note many evil
dcnccs Of substantial growth and pros
pority in Columbus. Il Is ono Of the
few southern cities that was not raided
during the war. The old-timc elc-
rance and hospitality still prevail; and
in the new stores, factories and railroads
which are being erected, the city q fully
abreast Of the times. That her popula- /
lion and wealth may be rapidly in
-reAsed, and that her people may ever
ee prosperous.and happy, is the earnest I

Gen. Chalmers Speech.

Seeing several gentlemen of the
quill taking notes of Gen. Chalmers
harangue in the Capitol, refreshed
our recollection of an occurrence in
Tennessee "in slavery times" There
was clergyman whom We may call Mr..
Cogswell, who had an old and favorite
servant, by the name of Cufiee. This
CufIee on the Sabbath, might have been
seen in the gallery, looking round with
grand air, and so far as appearance
indicated, profiting quite as much by his
masters preaching as many others about
him.
CufIce noticed, one Sunday morning,
that several gcntlcmeness woro taking
notes of the sermon; and he determined
to do the same thing, SO he brought a
sheet of paper and pen and ink, and
took notes too,
When the minister returned home, he
sent for Cufee to come into his study.
"Wen, Cuhee," said he, "what were
You doing in meeting today
Doing, Massa? Tekin notes"
''You taking notes!' exclaimed the
master.
"Srtin, Massa; all the gentlemens
tel,es notes"
swell, let me see them" said Mr..
Cogswell.
Cuhee thereupon produced his sheet
of paper, and his master found it
scrawled all over with all sorts of marks
and lines, as though dozen of spiders,
dipped in ink, had marched over it,
why, this is all nonsense" says the
minister, as he looked at the notes"
"Yes, Massa," Cuaee replied, II
Thought so al the time you rdS preachiBq."

j. Brown, II. +. Williamson and J. G,
Boxley, citizens of Marshall county, for
alleged offences against the election laws,
has been quashed on the ground that the
information failed to change any crime
known TO the laws
In this connection, we desire to say
that the institution of prosecution by
information, instead of the ordinary
method of indictment by a grand jury,
is arbitrary and unjustifable, and We
are truly glad that Judge lIill has put

Ten Years of a Railroad Commission
Boston Transcript

Under the title, "Ten Years of Rail-
road Commission" Mr.. VIM. A. Crafts,
the Secretary of the Massachusetts,
Board of Railroad Commissioners, gives
in the last two issues of the Railroad
Gazette a review of the organizs-
ton and operations of the board since
its creation. Mr.. Crafts shows that
the Massachusetts, Railroad Commission
has been a success, and has benefited beth
the railroad corporations and the people.
The State has wisely continued the
board, and has added, from time to time,
to its powers and its duties, until there
is no general desire to resort to differ
