THE BUSINESS OF THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO.
Cyrus W. Field went to Saratoga yesterday after
noon but before leaving the city he received reply
from Robert Stewart formerly superintendent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company, to inquiries
about that company's business. Mr.. Field had pro-
posed to Robert Garrett that impartial investigation
of the earning capacities OF the Western Union and
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph companies should be
made as basis for practical upion This proposal
Mr.. Garrett rejected although Mr.. Field says that Mr.
Garrett told him in London that the Baltimore and
Ohio was earning Sai cent on the investment. In
view Of this refusal Mr. Field asked Mr.. Stewart II he
could make estimate of the opposition company's
business. The reply Is as follows:

was one really noticeable feature about
the conduct Of the men who went to New
York last week to zee the Presiilenf- nf-elect.
The Southern men behaved the best. It
has 90 often been said since the election
that the States recently in rebellion would
be greedy and unreasonable 50 that their
conduct upon dis occasion was closely
noted. There was no appesrance Of AZ
rogance or the assumption Of their Tight
to patronage. The Western and even
Eastern men were moro clamorous and
tenacious In DER pnranit Of spoils than
these men from ttst part Of the country
which furnishes the bulk Of Democratic
votes. Indeed the people from the South
seemed - tresf the occasion with becom-
Ing dignity and seemed to care very little
about txlking politics. In the new life
that has coo1e - them - the result 0f

PROHIBITION In THE SOUTH.

The agitation in favor of prohi-
bition or temperance legislation
which has swept through the coun-
try, and especially through the
Northwest, during the past two
years, has greatly affected the
South, as we have already shown.
There has, indeed, been as much
anti-liquor legislation south as
north of 1.-THE line," but whereas
in the latter section this has taken
the form of acts of the Legislature
affecting the people Of the entire
State, in the South the prohibition
has generally been of the, ''local
option" order, each county, town
or township being granted the
right to decide whether it will per-
NIT the sale of liquor or not. Un-
der the present Temperance wave
great numbers Of Southern coun-
ties and towns have pronounced
against licensing, and there has
probably never been SO much pro-
hibition in the South and SO little
liquor drank in proportion to the
population as now.
1t begins to look as if the Pro-
hibitionists would force themselves
prominently forward into State
politics in the Southern States, as
they have already done inthe North.
A meeting was held in Nashville,
Tenn, two or three days ago. with
an idea somewhat in that line in
view. The meeting was an infu-
ential one, no less than twenty-one
State Senators and nineteen Rep
resentatives being present.
These gentlemen thought it pos
sible to secure legislation that
would restrict and suppress liquor
traffic, and it was decided to hold
State convention in Nashville
Feb. 25, to devise such means as
would best forward the cause OF
prohibition in Tennessee. While
this call does not look forward to
the organization of a new political
party wholly on the basis of pro-
hibition, it would seem to indicate
that in Tennessee, as in Ohio, In
diana, Kansas and other States,
prohibition is to be taken up as an
important political issue and fore
ed into the politics of the State.
An attempt of this kind has beer
made before In several Southern
States, but never in so vigorous q
manner or 80 strongly backed al
this.-T-D.

Absurd Is 1t may appear. the story il

from his salary. Nothing can well be
further from .he truth, aud any one who

rant OF the facts connected with the libc-
raj provision made for the position. Near

another, leaving the necessary outlay Of

DESPERATE MOONSHINERS.

Deplorable Condition of Affairs in a
Georgia Town-Overrun by Desperadoes
and Moonshiners-United States Officers
Attacked,
RALEIGH, N. c., March 25.-A bad state
of affairs prevails at Highlands, Macon
County, Ga. Disorderly people ride
through the town discharging firearms in
regularly cowboy style. They have es-
tablished Illicit distilleries in the wild re-
gion about Highlands. The United States
Deputy Collector and posse made ar
rests of number of the ringleaders, and
took them to Highlands. While at the
hotel mob of mounted men rode into
the town and attacked the Deputy Mar
shal. They were repulsed by the revenue
officers, who killed one of them, William
Ramsey, and badly wounded two others.
The attacking party scattered in all direc-
tions. The citizens have notified Cover
nor Scales of the condition of affairs, and
he has ordered Solicitor General Fergu-
son and Adjutant- General Johnston Jones
to go to Highlands and thoroughly in
vestigate the entire matter, and if neces-
sary to use troops, which are at Ashville
and Waynesville ready for duty.
