HIS FIRST MISTAKE.

Gov. Mcdaniel made bis first gu
beruatorial mistake last week in sp-
pointing Mr.. Bray, Solicitor Of the
city court of Atlanta. But the Sen
ate had the courage to correct the
mistake by refusing to confirm the
nomination. Mr.. Bray is an able
lawyer and a clever gentleman, but
his political course has been one Of
ntsgouism to the Democratic orr
ganization. Mr.. Bray sowed to the
wind, and has reaped whirlwind of
defeat. We hope be is satisfied with
bis harvest, for we certainly rejoice
over his iudependent-ccalition chick
en- coming home to roost. We ex'
cuse Governor Mcdaniel, because we
know him to be a conscientious man,
and Mr.. Bray was his school mate
and life long friend.

AFTER THEM.

The following are the main fea>
lures of Mr.. Raukin's railroad bill,
over which we may expect a lively
tusseI if it is pressed to vote At this
session:
First. That all railway companies
are required to make return to the
tax receivers of the counties in which
they have property of all property
they have in eaid counties, and to
pay taxes thereon just the same as
in the case of individual tax payers /;
and, second, to make sworn return
to the Comptroller General annually
of all their rolling stock. The County
Commissioner of the counties
through which the roads run are to
uotify the Comptroller General an
nually of their rate of taxation for
county purposes, and the COmptroller
General is to levy and collect the tax
on the rolling stock and turn it over
to the proper county treasurers.

A NEW RAILROAD.

The bill by Mr. Brooks, of Floyd,
to charter the Rome and Decatur
Railroad has passed the House -
The capital stock of the company is
to be ST. 900, 900. Most of that sum
is already subscribed. Colonel ID
S. Printup one of the incorporators,
is now 10 New York trying, with
good prospect of success, to place
the remainder of the stock. The
road, it is said, will be built at once.
1t will be almost exactly an airline
about 100 miles long. About hall
way between Rome and Decatur,
Ala, its terminal points, it crosses
the Alabama Great Southern at Col
linsvilIe. When the line is compile
ted to Decatur it is proposed to build
an air line from Rome to Gainesville,
connecting the Richmond and Dan"
vile with the Alabama Great South
ern at CoIIinsville and with the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia at
Decatur This makes a link com.
plelipg a new Atlantic and Pacific
line, either by way of New Orleans
to the Southern Pacific, or by st.
Louis to the Union Pacific. The
friends of the Rome and Decatur line
are cure it will be built at once -
Considerable grading done for the
Memphis branch railroad will be used
for the new line. 1t passes through
rich country and will command a
fine local support. AT. Constitution

GRANT SAvAGELY CRITICISED
BY A REPUBLICAN, PEN.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
In the tenaci,y with which Grant
followed out a determination once
fixed 10 his mind, perhaps no man
has ever surpassed him, but when an
expensive virtue for his soldiers, as
the hundred thousand men he lost in
Virginia are witness. Whether be
should have been removed after
Cold Har Dor, a disasteroos blunder
only equalled by Burnside at Fred
ricksburg, is u difficult matter to de.
termine. If he bad been, the final
result would not have differed much
in all probability.
Yet this man, who happened to
receive the surrendered sword OF
Lee, became on that account the sup
posed hero of the war; received the
credit of having suppressed the Con
federary; without education for or
experience 10 civil sffsirs was made
President for eight years, and finally
was carried round the earth and ex'
bibited to the nations as the greatest
prodigy of the age. The people, in
their exuberant joy at the return of
peace, wished for hero to whom
they could psy homage, and, Lin"
coin being dead, seized upon Grant
as the nearest object. Happier for
him and for them had he been al
lowed to continue, like Sherman and
ShridaU, quietly at his post of duty
America does not require celebrities
of false lustre to satisfy her pride.
There are others who are deserv-
ing," as Mr.. Emerson said.

ADULrDRATED TEAS.

Under the operation of a new law
against the importation of impure
teas, more than 5000 packages of
tea brought from Shanghi, China,
and valued in the market, it sold, at
$4,000, were condemned recently
by the appraise at the port of New
York. The teas were mixed with
Sand and gravel, exhausted tea
leaves, and dirt and paste rolled in
to pellets to represent dried leaves.
In several instances the Impurities
were evident to an experienced OBJ
server. When taken in the hand
and crushed between the fingers,
the sand was plainly visible.
About 800 packages of colored
Japan tea. of which a greater por>
ton was dust, were also rejected
after a careful examination. This
tea was of high color and mixed
with mineral substances TO increase
the weight.

NO MONEY IN IRISH POTATOES.

We had few minutes talk last
Saturday evening with Mr.. Robert
O. Pate in regard to his Irish potato
crop. He had just received returns
from one hundred and ten barrels
sold in Cincinnati. The commission
house sold the potatoes, paid for their
transportation and drsyage, deducted
their mission, and returned a
check for twenty eight dollars and
fifty-fve cents. The empty barrels
had cost in Hawkinsville twenty. five
cents each. Dedocting for the ITO
barrels $27.50, it will BIZ seen that
the producer received just one dol
lar and FIVE cents for one hundred
and ten barrels of potatoes. Mr..
Pate says that seventy five barrels
of the popatoes were as fine as he
ever saw Judging from the above
it will not pay to raise Irish potatoes
here for the Western markets. But
there is money 10 cotton when all
provisions are raised upon the farm,

a CURIOUS Law SUIT.

A story of curious lawsuit
comes from Rock Hill S. c., A
clerical planter, living near that town
sent the product of his cotton crop
to be ginned and packed. He re
ceived from the gin twelve bales 10
all, but when the bill for ginniug
came 10 he found himself charged
with the ginning of thirteen bales.
He refused to pay for the alleged
thirteenth bale and the ginner sued
him for the toll and won bis suit
Thereupon the preacher returned
the attack by suit against the gin
ner for the missing thirteenth bale,
which be proved that he had never
received. He won the suit and got
Judgment for fifty dollars, the val
nc of 500 pound bale of cotton. It
is intimated that the ginner will APP
peal from his decision to the
supreme court.

The Methodist discipline says that
no woman ought TO marry without
the consent of her parents. A MIN
lister asks the official Advocate if
this is mandatory. He is in reply
instructed as follows: 1--WE regard
this passage as advisory, containing
a sound general principle, but ad'

God, the State, nor nature puts the
control of marriage absolutely in the
hands of any one but the persons
themselves who make the vows and
must bear the burden of matrimony.
