The State Road.

There were two bidders for the lease of
the state road-the Richmond Terminal
system and the Louisville and Nashville
system. The former bid S35, 900 month, the
minimum amount fixed by the legislature,
and the latter bid 81 a month over that
amount. The correspondence which we
publish this morning shows that there was
an understanding between the two systems.
The Terminal did not want the road, be-
cause it has a line between Atlanta and
Chattanooga. and also because it does not
want to appear to monopolize the transpor-
tation business in Georgia. 1t put in bid,
however, it says, to make sure that the eff
fort of the state to lease the road should not
fail If there had been no other bid it
would have taken the road on the terms
fixed by the legislature.
The road doubtless will remain in the
possession of the Louisville and Nashville,
and under the circumstances there is every
reason to expect that it will be operated
satisfactorily. The Louisville and Nash
vile is great system, and it is not i'm
probable that its system will be extended in
Georgia. and that Georgia will be benefited
by the extension.
There is no reason at present to fear that
Georgia will be hurU by railroad monop-
olies. The railroad commission appears to
be competent and willing to guard the peo-
pies interests. Vita such a safeguard 1t is
not a matter of much consequence who con-
trolls the state road, in so far as the people
are concerned. The state road question may
therefore be considered as one not likely to
disturb the public mind again very soon.

Reconstruction.


From the Minneapolis Ne,cs.
In the dim conservatory
In the lamplight's softened glory,
There sought the old, old story
To confess.
But my secret I'd not let her
Learn too quickly; I'd not better
lmportune that might get her
To say Yes"
For she might think me unruly
If hasten on unduly,
Though her heart desiring truly
To possess.
Had she quite enjoyed the dancing,
Found the music most entrancing!"
Asked /. Slyly at me glancing
She said Yes"
Then spoke about the weather;
Did she like it cold. orwhether
Cold and warm mixed up together
In mess.
Gold or warm, or calm or breeze, or
o. So it really didn't freeze herr"
ANY kind, asked, would please herr"
She said Yes "
Did she think love out of fashion?
Did she doubt the tender passion?
Thus / gently put the lash on
My address.
Then point sought to carry:
AS mai EN- should she tarry,
Or should she at some time marry?
She said Yes"
Then her eyelids dropped moment;
| knew not what the action slow meant,
By it she had not a No meant
To express.
Had she ever meditated
Ger her friends already mated,
And the life that her awaited,
She said Yes"
Darling, said l, Il adore you
Tell me quickly, I j plore you.
AS I'm kneeling here before you,
Will you bless"
Then a sound made me look up, or
I'd have kept right on; twas Upper;
He said: "Will you 20 to support"
She sa Yes"

The Macon and Birmingham.


The Macon and Birmingham railroad will
be open to Atlanta on Tuesday next. 1t
connects at Culloden with the Atlanta and
Florida, which it controls. The Macon and
Atlantic is being constructed toward this
city, but for some reason those of its pro-
motors who are interested in the Georgia
Southern and Florida road are trying to
create the impression that the seaboard
terminal of the road is to be at Sapelo, or
some other place equally as destitute of
business advantages and prospects.
Those in this city who have stock in the
company say that the seaboard terminal of
the road must be Savannah, because it is a
matter of business necessity that it should
be.
1t is possible, however, that those who
have managed the affairs of the Macon
syndicate so successfully think they can
succeed at anything they undertake.
1t is much easier to build railroad than
town. A town of any Importance cannot
be built by railroad influence alone. There
are good many illustrations of the truth
of this statement. Many railroads have
suffered heavy losses in their attempts to
build towns
There are several dead seaports on the
Atlantic coast, and they are dead beyond
resurrection. There are others in a MORT
bund condition. A few switches, side
tracks and a wharf are not all that is
necessary to insure the building of a city,
and If the Macon and Birmingham Com
pany is wise it will never make Sapelo the
eaboard terminal of its road

Congressman Crisp, speaking on the fed
eral election bill, explained the cause Of the
small vote at congressional elections in the
south. He said the people did not take an
interest in congressional elections; that they
remained away from the polls, aud that if
they did not want to vote and have their
votes counted as cast it was the fault Of the
voters, and no law could compel them to
attend elections.

The belief that Pasteur or DIR. Glbier
never had an authenticated case of rabies,
and that they have mistaken lissophobia for
hydrophobia in their treatment, is strength
eued by the result of test made few days
ago. Four rabbits were innoculated with
virus taken from a man who died of sup
posed hydrophobia. 1t failed to comnuni-
cate the disease to them, but DIR. ]. S. Ely,
who conducted the experiment. says that
the effect of the innoculation of the rabbits,
three of which died before the rabies bad
time to develop, was complicated with
something more than the mere action of the
virus of rabies, as decomposition of the
body had set in before the post norton ex-
animation was made. The fourth rabbit
shows no symptoms of hydrophobia what
ever. still the autopsy disclosed that the
dead man had hYdrophobia. The expert
meut is, therefore. without significance
either way. Yet it strengthens the position
of the medical skeptics, who have con-
demned DR.. Gibier as quack, but the gem
eral public will not be SO hasty in their
judgment, and will wait for conclusive
proof before rendering their decision.

The electric cars were successfully put
In motion for the hrst time, yesterday even
log. a: about Eve O'Clock 10 the after
noon. the current vas turned on, the power
being furnished BY water. The car ran q
distance Of several hundred feet, when the
current stopped. Mr.. Gerald imms diately
telephoned TO the station in Gardiner, to
ascertain the trouble. Is vas found that
the water power could not be used, as il
vas too unsteady. Arrangements were
made, however, for the steam engine TO be
started at 6 80 p. VI. This was done, and
the car. containing many persons connected
with the road. was run up through the
street to the plains at good rate
Of speed, only stopping once to
adjust the pulley on the trolly wire.
Everything worked splendidly and
the managers should be congratulated
upon their success. After the car
had made several trips between
the railroad bridge and the electric
railroad station, with about a, many men
and boys on board ss could be comfortably
accommo lated, the gentlemen were re-
quested to alight and give the ladies a
chance. Quite number got on board and
took short ride. The most notable feature
Of the whole trial was that very few
horses were frightened. Several driven
only by ladies were passed repeatedly and
took no more notice of the car than they
would of an omnibus. 1t is possible that a
car may reach the Winthrop street crossing
today and it is only question Of a few
days for the machinery to become well
