UgX.Tho reproduction of paintings
ftud tho indefinite multiplication of them
by what is known as .chromo-lithography
has douo more toward imbuing tho minds
of the people with correct notions of the
beautiful, than tho whole field of art has
compassed heretofore. A few years ago
good pictures could bo owned only by
the wealthy, and cottage walls depended,
for their ornament, upon prints and
daubs that were neither beautiful nor
true. Now, few pcoplo aro too poor to
own a “Raphael,” a “Paul Veronese,’ a
“Cprrcgio,” or a Murrillo.” True, the
brush of an old master has not been about
them, but their idea is there—their in
spiration—their beautiful creations—
their lessons in purity, holiness, meek
ness, wickedness, all arc there, affording
tho poor man an advantage of cultivation
almost equal to that enjoyed by the man
of wealth. Pictures are teachers, next
to books. They teach lessons that books
even are incapable of imparling. They
teach nothing but the truth, and that
they teach iu a manner that oan be un
derstood even by the child that has hard
ly learned to lisp tho name of its mother.
The trade iu chromos has become an im-
inen.se business, and an immense amount
of capital is employed in it. The public
would no doubt be astonished if Messrs.
E. & H. T. Anthony, of New York, were
to let it he known what amount of capi
tal they have employed in chromos alone.
They aro fairly beautifying tho whole
country with them, selling them from
Maine to California, and from Florida to
Oregon. A great number of them have
been sold iu this city—Messrs. Phillips
k Crew having had the good sense aud
the good taste to euter a trade that, most
pcoplo said wdfeld not pay. It is a mat
ter of gratification to know that the peo
ple do buy these pictures, and are thus
educating their children to an apprecia
tion of that art which is making the
world beautiful and lovable.

Wliat Grant Costs the People.
The following is a simple but compre
hensive statement of wb&fc it costs to keep
up the White House for tho year ending
June 30th, taking tho Congressional Globe
for authority. When the professions of
economy that the Radicals glory in, are
considered, the following list of items is
somewhat formidable. Tho surpriso of
the uninitiated, however, will be abated
in a measure, when informed that these
items aro made sufficiently large to cover
the bills for marketing, carriages, stable
expenses, a tonsor and a variety of other
items which Grant's predecessors were
considerate enough to pay out of their
salary of 325,000 per annum. Our Re
publican court is pretty expensive, but it
is a mero trifle compared with tho larger

constantly escaping. Here is t he res ume:

We la}’ before our renders the fol
lowing dispatches relating to the
above road, aud the measures of tho
Governor to take possession of it, as
lie proposes to do, under the laws.—
The first dispatch is from Mr. 1). N.
Stanton to Governor Lindsay, dated
the 27th of July:
” New Yobk, July 27.
Our property lias been seized in the
night by armed men nnd run oil into
another State. Will you protect tho
road and property of this company from
being seized, interfered with or des
troyed by persons iu tho Stato of Ala
bama, in such manner that it can bo run
with safety by this company? Auswer.
D. N. Stanton,
Pres’t A. & C. R. R.
To this dispatch tho Governor made
the following reply:
MoMtoouery, July 27.
D. N. Stanton: Tho A. & 0. Railroad
and property will bo protected, nnd iu
order tho hotter to accomplish this ob
ject, and to protect tho interests of tho
State and other parties concerned, I have
proceeded in tho name of tho Stato aud
under tho laws authorizing me, to take
possession of the road and appurtenan
ces. Romskt Lindsay.
It appears that a few days before
receiving Mr. I). N. Stanton’s’ dispatch
the Governor had commissioned Col.
Gindrat, Ilia private secretary, and
Gen. James H. Clanton, to proceed to
the line of the road, and to take pos
session of it through the sheriffs of
tile respective counties of the State.
On yesterday Gov. Lindsay received
dispatches both from Gen. Clanton
amt Col. Gindrat, stating definitely
that the road was in their hands from
Meridian, Mississippi, to Attulla, near
the Georgia line. The part of the
road between Attalhi and Chattanoo
ga has yot to bo brought within the
power of the State. Uow this oan he
done without legal proceedings unless
it lie voluntarily surrendered, wo do
not uow clearly perceive. At any rate
it is time that something should lie
definitely settled in order that the
State shall secure the advantage of

in so liberally aiding tho construction
of this road.—Montgomery Advert i-

University of Gkobgia,
Athens, Ga., July 31, ’71.
Editors Sun: The array of talent
which usually graces the stago and
floor of the University chapel during
the commencement exercises of this
truly time-honored institution lias
always been a source of remark; but
this splendid array reached its cli
max to-day iu the multitudinous con
course of beauty, talent and intelli
gence that had assembled to witness
i most auspicious inauguration of the
exercises of the
SEVENTY-FIRST COMNENCEHENT
of the University of Georgia.
The argument of Dr. Palmer, a
miraculous blending of logic and elo
quence, was a mighty palisade—an
impassablo adamantine barrier —
against the venomous shafts of Infi
delity in their vaunting charge of
Fanaticism against the Christian re
ligion. It was u masterly effort, a
model of eloquence; indeed, the dis
course was u ponderous, nnintorrupt-
d iron chain of logic, along whose
length there continually played and
sparkled a golden halo of imagination
md laney—a coronal diadem of heav
enly light glittering on the brow of
Reason.
Text—Out he said, I ant not mad,
most nolle Festus; but speak forth the
words of truth and soberness. Acts
XXVI, 25.
We can attempt only a feeble out
line of some portions of this great
discourse:
There is no general charge against
tho truth of Christianity which is bet
ter calculated to smother and stifle a
belief in its revelation than that of fa
naticism. The assertion that it is unbe
coming a rational creature to fondly
idolize anything however powerful, is
readily admitted; and therefore, the
exhortation to madly worship a being
who manifests Himself only in spirit,
whose existence cannot he demonstra
ted by any process of reasoning, seems
to many, as they say, the height of
human folly.
Sueli was the charge made by Fes
tus. When moved by the mighty
proselyte he said: “Paul, thou art
beside thyself; much learning has
made thee mad.” And this slur on
the truth of Christianity has never re
ceived a severer rebuke nor a more
convincing, overpowering refutation,
than that to be found in Paul’s de
fense—the most noble specimen of el
oquence—bearing witness to the di
vinity of Christ’s mission on eartli
and Ilia everlasting omnipotence in
heaven.
We have heard of guilty judges
perverting the law; of juries viola
ting convictions; but nothing like
this in Paul’s case. Here lie stands
a man, with the whole nation as his
accusers, in thefaeo of heathen jiulg-
and without availing himself
of human weakness, without
auy appeals to imagination
fancy or sympathy, but with logic and
elocjuenec that boro tho impress of
divine inspiration, he wrests from
Agrippa the confession, “ Almost
thou persuadcst mo to be a Christian.”
And, standing there, clanking his fet
ters, undaunted before the purple and
power of Agrippa and his court, lie
replied: “I would to God that not
only thou, hut also all that hear me
this day, were both almost and alto
gether "such as I am, except these
bonds.”
The Apostle’s defense embodies all
the vital points of the Christian
creed, exhibiting the correspondence
and fixing the discrimination between
this and the old Jewish creed.
The charge of fanaticism is made
against Christianity on two points:
that its doctrines are not true, and its
pretensions are extravagant.
Christianity appeals to the moral in
stincts, There are self-evident truths,
like mathematical axioms, which are
received without reason or argument,
and are not dependent on proof.
There is a congeniality that makes
these truths evident when they are
presented, and which never admits of
their being discharged.
Let Atheists construct tho most
elaborate arguments to disprove the
existence of God, and the very propo
sition they employ presupposes the
existence ol a Supremo Being. So
the Pantheist and Materialist in
making the physical force and philo
sophical necessity the God of the
Universe, in reasoning against the
personality of the Divine Being, use
terms which hold tho living truth on
the mind so as to daguerreotype it
there forever. Our feelings discard
all such doctrines as pernicious aud
unwarrantable. In all forms oi hu
man idolatry, for nearly 2,000 years,
these convictions have never been
dislodged from the soul.
2’ Paul’s doctrines of Christ are
inexplicable. There is no accounting
for them except on tho supposition of
their divine origin. Thero they are,
tlie threo in the Godhead, incarnation
of the Son, the doctrine of Redemp
tion, the work of the Holy Spirit, all
iu actual existence.
False doctrines are human and
therefore controvertible. Wliat man
discovers or invent*, he ought to ex
plain. But tlie loftiest minds have
failed to expound the Divine dispen
sation, and tho oonfession is that they
are inexplicable to tho human mind.
3. (thristiauity is a clearly compacted
system, homogeneous in all its parts,
aud bound by a logical connection.
It is a solace, when pestilential doc
trines are driven on every shifting
breeze, that time works out the refu
tation of them all.
4. This system is reduced to writ
ingr. . .
It is characteristic of mysticism
and fanaticism to refer, for explana
tions of their doctrines, to revelations
which are made only to the privi
leged few, while the great mass cs- .
cape the task of attempting to uphold I ary.
an institution that has not for its
foundation even one feeling convic
tion.
5. Christianity gives exorcise to all
the faculties of the human mind, aud
in tho precise order iu which they
were originally intended before tiny
wore disordered by sin. First of all,
as a characteristic of man, came Rea
son ; then came tlie Affections to em
brace what she dictated; and then
the Will to direct. Never to tlie un
derstanding fairly, but to tlie affec
tions did the Devil deliver his temp
tations, entangling the affections and
ensnaring tlie imagination before reas
on has had time to assert its sway.
(i. Christianity vindicates itself by
adjusting all tlie relationsof tlie spir
it witli God. It sets us right with
God. It is an eternal circle which
draws less circles into its bounds, and
in each of these little coucentiic cir
cles we have mapped out all our du
ties to ourself, our country and our
God. For fanatacism takes society to
pieces and makes one duty, like Aa
ron’s rod, swallow up all others. Paul
might well say, “I speak tlie words of
truth and soberness.
THE SECOND CHARGE
is that of tlie extravagance of tlie pre
tensions of Christianity. Paul says,
“I speak the words of soberness,”
which bespeak calm deliberation and
balance of judgment. It is objected
to Christianity that tho affections of
its professors are too entirely devoted
to God. But let us remember that
intensity of love is never extravagant
or fanatic if it exceeds not the due
claims of tho object loved. Can He
who is infinite in power, justice, good
ness, mercy love and eternal glory be
too much loved ? Yea, can ho be too
fondly cherished and too madly idol
ized 'i Who ever charged the angels
with fanaticism? Although theoher-
nbim and seraphim blaze before His
eternal throne; although they chant
in heavenly chorus their worship and
praise His might, and splendor, and
mercy, and glory—their worship is
not fanatic,and yet it surpasses all that
can Lo conceived on earth. Prove
that God is loved more than lie de
serves before you make the charge of
fanaticism.
Docs not this justify the most in
tense affection ? I scorn tlie rational.
I spit upon it with tlie loftiest dis
dain, aud spurn it with unutterable
contempt, when it cavils aud finds
fault, aud seeks to dictate the amount
of love which we shall mete out to a
Benefactor whose love is so enduring,
whose mercy is everlasting.
I do not quail before the reproach
that it is extravagant, but I say, in
reference to these matters, Reason is
utterly incompetent to speak.
God’s testimony can stand alone
unmoved by the haunts, jeers, flouts
and scoffiugs of tho world. The bur
den of tho testimony is, “ what lias
tlie Word done for us and our re
ply to the sophistries of infidels must
be that of the Scotch peasant woman
when lectured by the Scotch atheistic
philosopher: “ I can't answer your
arguments, hut f feel that the Bible
is true. That is our duty. We have
a witness hearing witness with our
spirit that we are tlie children of
God.
If there be a fanatic who admits lie
has a soul and takes no care of it; if
thero be a fanatic who owns lie must
die aud squanders a life in accumula
ting wealtli unto wealth to become a
miserable bankrupt iu<leath ; if there
be a fanatic who points to the judg
ment throne where myriads await
their sentence of eternal pain
or eternal peace, and prepares
not, for tlie love of God we will with
hold that boiling invective which lie
deserves and exhort him to come to
the living God, and ask you to respect
that truth, and may you know tlie
preciousness aud sobriety of this
truth when you have gone to reap
your inheritance iu tlie Kingdom of
Heaven hereafter.”
This evening tlie Rev. Dr. Hicks
had an immense audience at the
Presbyterian church, when lie deliv

The Rev. Mr. Ash, the Ckpluin of the
British Legation at Buenos Ayres, lias
published n pamphlet respecting the Into
pestilence there, from which it appears
that ISO,000 about two thirds fled und
about 20,00 perished, tlie mortality rang
ing from 400 to (4)0 por diem—more than
1 per cent, of tlie inhabitants. The city
is said to liavo been reeking with filth,
“steumiug like a dung-ldll whenever a
hot sun catno after a rain-fall.” Tho
River Flute was so poisoned that tho fish
died in it, yet this water was wliat tho
inhabitants had to drink. There wero
no drainage facilities, und what wells
there were in the city were utterly unfit
for use. On the 10th of April thero wore

daring a visit to London, dropped in

an ordinary member. He then went
to tlie international exhibition, and,

—‘‘The emperor of tlie French”—lie
thanked him witli a laugh, and add

The Albney Argus print* some inter
est, ng figures from tho report oi the State
engineer of railroads:
The number of roads operated by
steam is 104.
The amount of capital stock paid in is
*234,225,159.
Thu total cost of tho construction aud
equipment of steam railroads is *249,
228,890.
The length in miles of tho steam roads
in the State is 7,100. Lengths of roods
laid 4,773.
Number of first-class passenger cars,
1,229; of freight cars, 35,051.
Number of passengers carried iu cars
run by steam, 24,550,703. Number of
miles traveled by passengors or number
of passengers carried one mile, 912,626,-
981.
Total amount of freight, or number of
tons carried one mile, 2,054,140,549.
The number of pausongers carried iu
city cars during the year was 154,591,871.
The total earnings of roads operated
by steam amount to *09,049,444.
A groat deal is said about railroad ac
cidents, anil the danger attending travel
on railroad cars. Tlio result of 1870
show that fifteon passengors were killed
by accidents. Tho averago nnmbor of
mites traveled for each passenger killed
was 609,841,798.
According to this showing, tlie safest
place for a person to live would bo on a
railroad train. Tlio figures aro correct,
and yet n person might bo killed during
the first mile of his ride.
