haSSee.

Columbus, Ga, Enquirer.)
We are in possession OF such information as
to cause indulgence of the hope that the
B,inbri'lge, Cuthbert and Columbus railroad
will be built This road was chartered by the
Georgia Legislature in 1869 to run from COlum-
bus. via Culhbert and Banbridge, to the Flor-
ida line. During the following year the work
OF construction was begun, and in 1870 II
about sixty consecutive miles were graded. It
was continuously graded from cambridge, dis
tance of seventy miles, 10 point eight miles
north OF Cuthbert, with an exception Of about
ten miles between Cuthbert and ColQuitt, where
the work so light that the contractors thought
it would not pay to work il.
gentleman who is entirely responsible and
who has just returned to this city from Cuhbert,
informs US that the road has been sold to north,
ern syndicate which has been placed under Ob-
cations to build the road Immediately Judge
Arthur Hood, representing the owners of the
road, made the negotiations aud all the papers
have been signed and are now in the hands of
Judge Hood. The terms were left optional with
him as to whether he would take $4,000 cash
or SAC, 900 in stock OF the road for the road bed
and its franchise. Having very great faith in its
early construction, Judge Hood accepted the
latter proposition and the papers were signed to
that effect. Among the stipulalions in the agree
ment between them the new syndicate has made
bond that work on the road will begin by De-
cember 1st, and that unless the entire road is
Chattahoochee. as the syndicate may select, the
road with all its franchise and improvements
will revert back to Judge Hood and its owners
as forfeit.
The conviction that this new syndicate mean
business and intend constructing the road is
strengthened at Cuthbert by the fact that Mr..
Move, n substantial citizen of that place. has
been secured MS agent for them and has already
purchased the depot grounds and made other
purchases for the company.
In the purchase of the franchise of the road,
the company has reserved the right of run
ming the road 10 Cnlquitt and from there either
10 Bainbridge or to Chattahoochee, Florida, as
may best suit their purposes. This very natu
rally gives rise to the presumption that the road
is 10 be built in the interest of New Orleans,
and that the Pensacola and Atlantic is To be the
connecting link. In the event Of the road being
constructed either 10 Bainbridge or ChattahoO-
chee, il is a toregone conclusion that it will come
To- Columbus and it is but question of very
short time when il will do 81. 10 the meantime
we Can only await developments The new syn
dicste now have a competent engineer exsmn-
ing the routes between the two points named
and will doubtless have something to say about
it at early day.

Now that the people Of the Unised States have
secured Reform and Clean Government In the
nation it is time to nsis, that the people of New
York shall Get asout reforming and cleansing
their own public affairs.
Itis first and foremost important that they
shall have honest elections.
Can they guard Against frauds On the ballot
box, against such sale aad barter % disgraced
the city last Tuesday, against false registration
colonization, repeating and cheating 10 counts
while John J. O'Brien remains at the head of the
Election Bureau?
Can they expect honest elections when the
machinery of political party is in the selfsame
hands that hold the machinery of the registra-
tion boards and polling places and can take in
spectors, canvassers and police by the throats
Ii is evident from this years experience, first,
that the Bureau of Elections and the appoint
ment of inspectors and other election officers
ought to be separated from the Police Depart
ment; next that the city and county elections
should be held separately and not at the same
time with Stale and National elections.
To trade vote for President for vote for
a Mayor or for any other municipal or county
officer is just as corrupt as to bribe voter with
money.
The punishment of men who violate the Elec-
ton laws ought to be more prompt and certain
than it is In several instances the =" heelers" of
the Election Bureau have been indicted for elec-
ton frauds How many of them have been tried
and punished? How many such indictments
are now slumbering in the Office of the District
Attorney?
But, above ALL local elections should be sepa-
rated from National elections.

What Mr.. Davenport Thinks
DIr. 8. ID. Elk ln0.


Mr.. Blaine has, reports from Auguot]
say, been using violent language abb @s
his National Committee men, going u
far even at one as to speak of them q
pack of fools. And now comes Mr.. Jatl
L Davenport, and confirms, in part, IS
least, Mr.. Blaine's Judgment
In letter from Mr.. Davenport, wbsi
we print elsewhere, he frankly exprestas
his opinion that Mr.. Stephen B. Elk&,
"was constitutionally so lacking in alel
ity to decide questions which arose, al
SO deficient in executive capacity ~ y.

mitted serious blunders in the canvaaSd
and his defects in these respects were j,
glaring that, in my judgment, the c4

management with any probability of ss
cessful results being attained" t::
We do not presume to question tSi
correctness of Mr.. Davenport's iudgmc
of Mr.. Elkins, but compliment Mr.. Blayl
on having his own opinions 80 far c1Sl
frmed. Indeed, remembering that M
Elkins engineered the little scheme q
which Mr.. Blaine was nominated ct ca
cago, and considering the tremeudo
falling of in the Republican vote canut
by that nomination, We strongly incli7e
to agree with Mr.. Davenport. a mk
