Kpcakcr Feiiuliigtoii.
The election of Gov. PetiiHiigton to the
Speakership appears to bo generally acqui
esced in as a compromise to which al
parlies can honorably yield. Tho South
has the comfort of knowing that it defeated
the chosen candidate of the ultra Dlnck
Republicans—a man who has not cleared
his skirts of sympathy for Drown and Hel
per; while the North can well acquiesce
the election of one who supported tho Re
publican nomination consistently, though
he repudiates sentiments and design* which
many of thu Ulack Republicans cherish.
The 11uth is, Pennington is a man who has
never discarded the safe conservatism of tho
old Whig party, and whose conscientious
ness and urbanity as a gentleman secure
for him tho respect of all parlies. Wo
copy a single remark (tout the Now York
Newt, as showing that tho Northern Na
tional Democracy are well content with the
Since, then, there was but small
cbunce of bringing a few inconsiderate
Democrat* to harmony sufficient for the
success of a Democrat, it was tho next best
thing that a moderate and not very com
mitted Republican should ho the chosen
ae. True, ho is not in thu popular senro
positive Nngioisl. Dut if he bo a nrgn-
»e one, the only consolation we have to
lake to uurselvea from that consideration is
the fact that he has been put in ihe place
designed for not only a positive Negioist,
proven suborner of treason.”
The Proposed Southern Convention.
The proposition—which wp believe eman
ated from the ]^vgi»lature of Mouth Carolina
bold a Convention of tho slavcholding
States at Atlanta, (la., in the event of the
election of a Black Republican to the Presi
dency, has tern responded to by ths
Legislatures of several of the States. Miss
issippi and Florida, through their Legisla-
have seconded the call, and it is
probable that Alabama will respond in the
way this week. On the other hand.
Guv. Houston of Tcxs« has strongly o^ipo-
sed it in a special message, and resolutions
pointsdly repudiating tbe movement are
pending before the Legislature of that Slate,
and it ia said will pass by a large majority.
The Legislatures of all these 8tatcs are
Democratic. It i» lurJIy probable that ony
other State Legislature will join in tho call,
but possibly Virginia may.
have often said, we do not regard
the election of any man, holding any kind
of political opinions, as a good cauao for
dissolution or secession ; snd we will take
this occasion to add now that we look upon
ibis movement as “all for Uuncomb
intended merely for party effect before
sidential election, with no resolute pur-
e of following it up afterwards. All
movements for promoting the industrial
independence of the South, and strength
ening Let resources within and her relations
without tbe Union, even with a view to her
political independence when she may ho
called upon hy just cause to ossert it, we
are heartily in favor of; but we “lake stock"
in no display of partisan bravado, which
will only make our section a laughing stock
when it ignobly tubtidet. Nor do we
believe that the South will for many years
bave as just cause for secession as she has
had during the present Administration, or
be ruled over by an Administration whose
policy will be more inimical to her.
roads in which Columbus is interested
come in for a small share of the benefit, we
epitomizs.thc bill.
The Three Ter Ceut. Fund has accumu
lated to the amount of about $850,000, it
being a per cents gc upon the sales of public
laud* in Alabama allowed to the Stato for
the purpone of connecting the waters of
the Alabama and Tennessee rivers by rail
road or other improvement. A portion of
this fund has nlioady been loaned to the
Tennessco and Coosa Railroad Company,
and the available balance i* now $663,000.
This latter amount the bill proposes to loan
to the railroad companies of the State for
five years, at six per cent, interest, in the
fullowing proportions: to the North-east
and South-west Alabama Railroad $218,000;
the Wills Valley Railroad $75,000; to
the Alabama and Tennessee Rivt r* Rail
road $226,000; to ibu .Selma and Gulf
Railroad $40,000; to tbe Mobile and Girard
Railroad $50,000; to tho Opelika und Ox
ford Railroad $25,000; to tho Montgomery
and Kulauta Railroad $30,000. In addition
to three loans of tho fund proper, the annual
of $39,788 (being tho six per cent,
interest abovo provided for) is for five yours
to be appropriated to tho Tennessco and
Alubaina Central Railroad, to be expended
the construction of that port of the road
between Decatur on tbe Teuncusce river
and Montcvallo on tho Alabama und Ten
nessee Rivers Railroad; and at tho expira
tion of fivo year* tho wholo fund thus
loaned out for that period is to bo given a*
a bonus to tho Tennessee and Alubaina
Central Railroad. Tho above loans and
donation are mado contingent upm reason
able conditions and security not necessary
to be here recapitulated.
It will be seen that the main benefits of
the bill enuro t » milrou.ls, nr section* uf
railroads, in which Selma is more inter
ested than any other city. When the
Central Railroad is built to Mcnlevailo, its
direct continuation southward will bo to
Selma, ami from Montcvallo to Selma the
Alabama and Tennessee Rivers Railroad is
already in operation. From Selma south
ward towards Mobile, the Selma anil Gulf
Railroad has been commenced, uqd is to be
aided by tho bill. Should both of ilirue
roads be built, Selma will be the Atlanta of
Alabama—the central converging point of
the great iron ways of the Stale.
A pittance ia also bestowed by the bill
upon the Mobile and Girard, and the Ope
lika ami Talladega Railroad*, in which
Columbus is interested ; and the nmall auui
loaned to tho Selma und Gulf Railroad ia
remotely advantageous to tho Girard Road,
breause tho Gulf Rosij from Mobile will lor
a very considerable distunre approach the
Mobile and Girard Railroad in un almost
direct line. These benefits of tlie bill to
the latter road, though small, will come in
▼cry good lime to eid He extension, and,
coupled with tlie liberal aubacription by
Mebilo to tier North-easlern Railroad mak
ing towards Selma, ought to appreciate the
stock of the Mobile and Girurd Railroad.

“Gullltf It lllilld.”
The Rome Courier, copying from tho
Montgomery Mail the anecdote of tho
Alubuinu Democrat, who, after assisting in

instructed its delegates to Charleston to
come home in the event that its platform
and candidate were not accepted, nxcluirned,

chances of a revolution here. First, that

Mart of these situations denote a tendon-
to internal dDsenJions rather than to

is an extract from the City Article in tho

• Portugal is in great want of mean* for

prove a nulliciunt warning against Bpecuh.s

tallun on so many Powers of greater pre

Add to this that France will certainly,
and England must probably bavo to go into
the money murket tu raise lurid*, this year,
and an idt u ef the true state of the ca«o uuy

In luct, view public matters os tvo may,
we arrive but at hub conclusion—that War
cannot be carried an without money, Tho
issue* ot peucu or War in Europe, really rest
upon the Hat of two or three bankers in
London—upon the Rothschild*,the Barings,
nnd a very lew more. No European coun
try is in u condition to plunge into a war
without money, and it rests with a few ban
kers to lend or refuse tho needful funds.
Thus .thinking, wo pay but little atten
tion to the rutiiots of war which occasion
ally aro conveyed hither by frightened Eng
