In the vexed question ofour coun-
ty election, neither faction can claim
a decided victory. There were three
offices for which lively contests were
made, legislator, sheriff and treasurer,
and the primary ticket elected its
candsdates for the legislature, while
the convention ticket elected it's can
didates for the other positions.
There was also an exciting race in
this district for Supervisor, which
resulted in the primary candidate. -

Capt. Put Darden Elected.

Capt. Put Darden made q speech
some weeks ago at Pattona, and on
Thursday OF last week he spoke at
Russum, and circumstances lead us
to believe that the Captain has been
making some very telling speeches
within the ensiruns OF Montrose,
the home Of the Hon. Thos. j. Ably,
in the Pattona district, and has cap
tivated and captured one of the
rairest and loveliest of old Clai-
borne's daughters, Miss Kate, the
daughter of Hon. T. ]. and Mrs.
Helen A. Ably. The marriage cere-
mony at Montrose on Thursday
night was solemnly performed By
Rev. Newell Logon, and the big
Granger carries to his home in JEFF
son one of the loveliest and bright
est of Claiborne county's jewels.
We tender congratulations to the
happy couple, and trust that this
union of hearts may strengthen the
ties which bind Jefferson and Clai-
borne so closely politically and
socially.-POrt Gibson ReUeiIle.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Geo. K. Blanchard Addresses the Senate Com
mlttee and Plainly States His Views.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The Senate committee
on interstate commerce met again to-day. Geo.
t. Blanchard, formerly president of the
Erie railroad, addressed the committee for two
hours. He said that at the pesenr time there
were very few railroads in the United States
which charged the rates. either for
freight or passengers, allowed them un-
der their charters Discrimination cannot
and ought not to be banished from
interstate commerce. Unjust discrimination
should, and ought to be condemned No road
should be allowed to injure one man engaged in
business at the expense of his neighbor in the
same business While connected with the Erie,
Mr.. Blanchard had allowed persons engaged in
thebuilding factories and herindustrial struc
lures to ship the material for the structures
at q reduced rate. This was done to encour-
age industry, and was, in Mr.. Blanchard's opinion,
wise discrimir alton. AS remedy for many of
the evils, and a solution to the rate problem. he
advocated the publication of the rates of the
different roads in public places, the same way as
the postal rates are published by the govern
ment Should a law embodying this idea be
passed, every road in the country would be com
PEELED to observe it. 1t is the duty
Of the United States to protect
investors in railroad and other property
as much as it is to protect the farmers who oc-
cupy its lands. Compare the ruin which had
overtaken the iIsvesters in railroad property dur
ing the past few years with the prosperity which
had come to the farmer. Had the same protec-
ton been afforded to both. the losses to the
former would have been less than half what they
have been. Mr. Blanchard was in favor
of the appointment of United States
railroad commission for the settlement of
questions regarding rates. etc. In regard to
pooling he said the city of New York was better
served by the roads acting in unity than by
those acting each for ITSELF. Between Chicago
and Omaha the development of the country had
been phen omenal. The entire system of rail
roads between these points was bound together
by an infexible pool The result had been the
forcing up of rates fully so per cent above
those charged for like distance east of Chi
cago.. There were too many railroads in the
COUNTRY already. 1t was too easy matter for
lot of gentlemen to get together, after dinner,
lay railroad out on paper, and blossom out as
corporation under the law, as it now is
