IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
DASHES ALONG THE TRACK
AND CROSSTIES.

General Passenger Agent Wrenn, of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
Says the Roads Are on the Verge of
the Greatest Freight War Ever Known
in the SOuth-The Fight for Business
Between Macon and Atlanta.
General Passenger Agent Wrenn, of the
East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia
railroad, was interviewed in Atlanta day
before yesterday on the rate war. The
East Tennessee, he says, is going to make
such rates as will get them share of the
business. They are ready, he claims, to
meet the other roads in Georgia at any
time and agree upon rates which can be
maintained, but that it is an impOssihility
tor the Fast Tennessee to secure Atlanta
business at the same rates which are
charged by The other lines. considering the
unequal terminal facilities.
Mr.. Wrenn says further that it is not a
matter Of sentiment, but purely a matter
of business. When asked whether the war
was 10 continue with It's present ferceness

depot at Atlanta; we were refused. We
asked for ditfeTential rate; we were re-
fused. We thereupon notified all COM
peting lines centerng at Atlanta that we
after commenced making our own rates,
and we shall continue to do so until we
are recognized as a competitor, and &C
corded the justice which our disabilities
eutItle us to-"
"Will the war be carried on III the
freight Department."
in my opinion we are on the verge of
the greatest freight war the South has
ever seen. Rates are being cut prOmiscu-
ously, and no one can predict where it
VIII end. Just now, however, we are 60
ing to keep working for the passenger
business, but If the freight war goes on
we are prepared for it's
The war between the Central railroad
and the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia for the Atlanta travel to the
State fair at Macon Is lively. Up to yes
terdaY 81 TO Macon and return
was the lowest at which the East Tennes-
see railroad was carrying passengers. 1t
cost 81 to go to Macon, but round
trip ticket can be had for the same
price, and so every passenger takes his
ticket double.
The only reduction made on rates to
Macon from Atlanta by the Central is to
give Tound-trip rates for one fare, $3.50.
1t is Offering tickets at the same figures
from points all along the West
Point road. The Central peo-
pie say they are getting their full
share Of the business to Macon in spite of
the heavy cut Of the East Tennessee from
that point.
The East Tennessee people say they
don't know where this thing is TO stop.
They want to get into the union passen-
ger depot, and intimate that they will
make 1t lively for their competitors until
they are granted an entrance there. Both
roads are doing big business.

THE OWL RIGHTS BILL.
Kew It was Passed oyer President John
sons Veto.

The civil rights bill, says Ben: Perley
Poore, became the law of the land April
8, 1866, 'the objections of the President to
the contrary Notwithstanding" as it was
passed over his veto by two-thirds vote
in each house. Many conservative Re-
! puhlicans doubted the wisdom and the
eXpediency Of thus legislating for eleven
States which were unrepresented, and
! expressed doubts as to whether the
panacea of negro suffrage promised IN
demnity for the past or security for the
/ future. The conduct of President john
| son strengthened the Radical Senators
and Representatives, and they dragooned
| their conservative associates into the die
! tation OF the terms to the Vanquished.
! The probable passage OF the bill over
the veto attracted thousands Of spectators
TO the capitol and the galleries of tie
senate were crowded. Senator Wade
opened the discussion of the veto in one
OF his characteristic speeches, in which
he asserted that Andrew Johnson had
proved traitor to the party that elected
| him. He also told Senator Lane, of Ken
lucky, that he wore the Presidents coll
| lar, which provoked the accused, who eX-
! claimed, as he pointed to his rusty neck
/ handkerchief: ''Thee wear a colarl Jim
Blaine wears collar" and denied the
charge. A succession OF speeches fol-
lowed by Carrot Davis. McDougal. Hen
bricks and salisbury, the latter declar-
ing that ''if this bill be enacted and en-
forced blood will flow, not between sec
tons Of the country, but civil war, and
the Union will stand dissolved" A vote
was at last taken, the bill passing over
the veto by vote of 80 ayes against 10
nays. 1t was then taken to the House,
where an attempt was made to illibuster,
which lasted for three hours and failed.
The vote was then taken, showing l22 for
the bill, Notwithstanding the Presidents
objections, and Al against the bill.
Twenty-one Congressman were absent, or
adroitly lodged. The hall rang with APP
plause in the galleries and on the floor,
and Congress triumphed over President
johnson.
The President accepted the situation
goOd-humoredly. Instead of following the
programme that had been chalked out for
him by some of his new friends, proclaim
ing Congress a revolutionary assembly,
calling upon the militia of Virginia to
disperse it and inaugurate civil war, Mr..
johnson said that perhaps it was well
enough, though he could not conscien-
tiously give it his signature. He did not
/ believe that the bill was constitutional,
! but the Supreme Court had that to decide,
and in the meantime the country could
have the opportunity Of witnessing any
| beneficial results that might arise from it.
If Senator Wade and Representative
Stevens had yielded to the cOnciliatOry
disposition of the war, and adopted lib
eral line of policy, meeting the President
at least half way, much subsequent
trouble might have been avoided.
