Threatened considerations

Representative BlOunts bill, which
consolidates the offices Of Clerk of United
States Circuit and District Courts of this
district, and provides for one Clerk of the
consolidated offices here and one at Ma
con. does not meet with the approval Of
the bar here. At present the duties of
the two offices are performed by deputies
at Macon, and are probably as satisiac-
tOrily performed as if the Clerks them
selves resided there.
The business of the two offices is, we
are informed, gradually increasing, and
there does not appear to be any good rea-
son for their consolidation. Mr.. Blounts
purpose is not, 1t is claimed, to increase
the facilities of lawyers and litiSants for
transacting business, or TO lessen the eX-
pense to the government, but to create an
excuse for a Federal building at
Macon. No legitimate objection can be
successfully raised to the qualification OF
Macon's ambition. Indeed, we are ready
to do what we reasonably can to help
Macon get a building, but we don't
want the dignity and importance of our
courts Iessened. 1t is grave ques-
ton whether, IN the event OF the passage
of the Blount bill, the Circuit and District
Courts will not be without a Clerk until
the question of Judge Erskine's successor
is settled. At the rate at which Mr..
Blount is pushing his bill along it looks
as if it would be ready for the approval OF
the President before the appointment and
confirmation of a District Judge. That
the present Clerks could legally discharge
their duties until the appointment Of
their successor is doubted, and that Judge
Erskine, having sent in his resignation,
could Join the Circuit Judge in selecting
clerk under the BlOunt bill, is also
doubted. Could not Mr.. BlOunt adopt
some other way to get public building
Mt Macon. and thus avoid interfering
without our court arrangementsY

The threatened Break in the Pool,

The Threatened Break in the Pool
No doubt earnest efforts will be made
TO continue the pool between the members
Of the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association. The meeting called Tor the
18th of February is for that purpose. l"
certain members OF the association the
pool is very advantageous. 1t probably
could be made advantageous to all If there
were a willingness on the part Of all TO DO
what is exactly just and fair. The inter-
ests of at least two Of the leading roads,
however, are so hostile that further as
ISOLATION in the pool can be rendered pos
sible only bv very. great concessions on
the part Of one Of them. VIII these con-
cessions be made: That question can
hardly be answered with any degree OF
certainty. II the offending road dlscoV-
ers that il must make concessions or en-
eaes in a war Of rates it may make con
cessiens. 1t is a great corporation, but II
is financially weak. 1t has burden ol
debt that is almost too heavy for Il to Dear
In the event of struggle for business
between it and its richer ana better
equipped rival. and consequent heaFy
reduction in traffic rates, it would soon
he forced to the wall. But would its rival
be benefited By this result Of the strug-
glee II is not certain that it would.
The ruined road would at once
be reorganized. Its burden OF debt
would be swept away. 1t would
fall into the hands of capitalists, in all
probability. who would be able to make 1t
stronger and better than ever. This IS
but the history Of what has taken place
with respect 10 other roads. If this his
tory should be repeated in Georgia, what
would the stronger and the aggrieved road
gain by breaking the pool? Its stock
holders would certainly be deprived of a
portion of their usual dividends during
the period of the war of rates, and
stronger rival than ever would be raised
up to repeat the acts now complained OF,
on a greater scale. 1t may be that the
pool would have been broken before this
time except for the fear of an outcome
such as we have outlined. The people in
the territory Of the competing lines have
little interest in having the pool main
tanned. They are certain to be benefited by
competing rates. This city has always
contended that the pool was drawback
to its prosperity. Thousands Of bales of
cotton. because of the pool arrangement,

come here. AS the matter presents itself
lust now the stockholders of the roads
would suffer loss by the ending of the
pool. and the people who supply the bust
ness to the roads would be temporarily
benefited. We are inclined to think that
if war of rates is begun it will not be
long continued.

If reports are true there promises to be
a great revolution in photography before
long. Z. w. Fellows, of Cleveland, o., is
said to have invented process of taking
instantaneous and permanent photo
graphs on any smooth surface by the ac-
ton of electricity. 1t is especially ap-
plicable to photo-lithOgraphy, and the cost
is claimed TO be less than one cent for each
picture. The process was first made
public on Monday last, and will be pro-
teeted by patents, and full account of it
published IN the scientific journals.
