Special Correspondence of the Chronicle.
Atlanta, Ga, June 3.-Referring
to the Railroad Commission and its
powers, have seen II statement III
the Macon Telegra ph and Messenger,
editorially given, that certain rail
way enterprise III the State had halt
ed because capitalists would not in
vest in it on account of the arbitrary
control over the management given to
the Commission. / know myself of a
similar case. A very important line
of road, running through valuable
section, connecting feeding points,
and partially graded, would today
be in the hands OF men who desire
til invest their money in it, but they
dacline because they are afraid to in
vest in property whose management
is in the hands Of officials
l would not be understood as
meaning to urge the re- zeal OF the law
creating commission ami l believe
that the railroads themselves do not
desire this. But l do believe that a
modification of the extraordinary
powers of the commission would not
only be in conformity with proper
public policy and on the line OF the
law and the constitution, but, it
would be for the interest of the pub
lie and Tor the benefit of all of our
private enterprises. And 1 believe it
must come TO this soon.
Foreign capital has been and is
ready to come into our railway
projects The railway is the
greatest single fundamentally of our
progress. ANY public policy that
frighteas away capital from our midst
III any line Of investment should be
carefully considered. 1t
IS fact that an
important railway enterprise Ii Ian,
gushing. 1t behooves the people to
dispassionately investigate the mat
ter. II is to he regretted that in the
discussion upon the subject there
should have arisen some little asperi-
ty and tendedcy to a dogmatic spirit.
We cannot reach the truth by this
sort of feeling.
Those who believe in the Commits
sion must do so because they believe
It's results to be good. They must b
re1cbed by a practical demonstration
OF he error Of views. Those who adj
vocate q modification of the powers
Of the Commission, 40 as to make ii
rather an arblter between the people
ana the railroads and not the master
of our railways, are governed by theil
convictions of the public interests,
and the champions Of the Con mission
as it staEds must respect their SINGER
it,.
| have not alluded to the questior
of the effect Of the action of the Com
mission on the income of the rail
roads. The managers complain thai
their profits have been cut down tc
an Injurious fgure and stock has de
preciated. This would constitute al
additional and very strong reason for
looking into the matter fairly anc
dispassionately. The next Genera
Assembly should investigate the sub
jeot and do what is for the publ,
welfare.

An AyariciOus Age.

A great many people call the present
age an avaricious one. The American,
as a rule, thinks of the almighty dollar
in all of his transactions, whether in
the pursuit of wealth, helth or pleasure:
The general tendency of our race is
toward excess, and this should be care
fully guarded against. The love of
money is generally credited with being
the root Of all evil, but all people
seem to be after plenty of the root.
1t cannot be told from the phraseology
of the following whether the writer in
tended wholesale cure or whether he
wished to go into little speculation.

Ticket Scalpers
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There is a law pending before the
Legislature of Maryland to preVeat
"Ticket Scalping' and 10 contine the
traffic in tickets to the authorized agents
of the railroad companies: the bill un-
der consideration is similar to that
which has been so affective in this
State both in protecting passengers
and railroad companies from the loss
arising from the purchase and sale OF
fraudulent tickets or tickets Improperly
procured. There were recentl Y convict
ed in our courts a number of trusted
employees of the Pennsylvania Rall-
road and Pullman Car Companies,
against whom the charge of emhezzle-
ment was sustained.
These men were all respectable and
honest until they were tempted to dis
honesty-tempted to the loss OF repu-
tation and position, and, in fact, into
prison, by the ticket scalpers. Every
ticket fraudulently abstracted or with
held by them, it was proved on their
trials, was subsequently sold to the
scalpers at largely reduced rates and
and resold to travellers to be used the
second time. Thus the railroad COM
panies suffered tevere losses, and ln
cases where the fraud were discovered
in time the passengers holding the
scaIpers' tickets were subject to loss
and inconvenience.
No railroad company is secure from
loss. no railroad conductor safe from
temptation, and no passenger free from
danger of buying fraudulent and use
less tickets, so long as ticket scalplng
is legalized. The railroads that are
carrying passengers upon terms SO
favorable should be protected from
fraud, their employees from the tempta'
ton that robs them Of home, friends,
and employment, and passengers from
inconyeniences or fraud. The law OF
Pennsyl fania is exceedingly popular,
and a similar one should be among the
statutes of every State. Only through
and by the operations of like law can
absolute security be afforded to the
railroad companies, their empiyees
and the travelling public; but until such
a law becomes common in all States
travellers should refuse to purchase
from scalpers, lest they become invol'
untary partners iu q fraudulent traffic,
and suffer the consequences OF their
act.
