“ Competition is the life of trade,” is a
truism which no sane man will have the
hardihood to deny in the present day of
bustle and activity in all branches of trade.
In no one department of traffic, however,
bus the adage been more strikingly
illustrated than among our retail grocers.
These institutions have multiplied greatly
hero during the past two or three years,
and the rivalry among the proprietors,
though every way honorable, is greater
than at any previous period.
One capital idea among this class of
dealers is the introduction of delivery
wagons. These vehicles are gotten up
with an eye to ornament as well as utility,
and may be seen flitting through our
streets at all hours. Their convenience to
customers cannot be disputed. The pur'
chasing of grocery supplies are no longer
unpleasant or burthensorae to housekeepers.
You leave your orders, pay your money,
and ere you reach your home the goods
havo been safely delivered. Thanks to an
honest rivalry and a desire to please.
Our Public Schools.
We make no apology for the deep interest
wo feel, as citizens and conductors of a
public press, upon the subject of our Com
mon Schools, and in all that relates to their
welfare. And in this connection, we place
upon record the following five general rules
—prepared by a gentleman of long and
varied experience in a portion of the coun
try where its Public Schools are regarded
with commendable pride:
First. —No child under fifteen years of
ago ought to be kept in school over four
hours in any twenty-four.
Second. —No child under fifteen years of
age ought to be allowed to take any book
out of the school room.
Third. —No examination ought to be
allowed for any purpose, or any pretext
whatever.
Fourth. —All promotions and all diplomas
should be given on the basis of general
good conduct and efficiency.
Fifth. —No man ought to be accessible
to the office of school management, unless
he has actually taught school seven years.
We agree with the same high authority,
that this thing of school “examinations” is
an absurdity, a farce, and a sliam; they
are not intended for the benefit of the
scholar, but the glorification of the teacher.
A scholar who passes an examination is
not a whit better scholar an hour after than
he was an hour before; and a competent
teacher ought to know as well before an
examination as after whether a scholar
should pass or not. It is well known that
many a scholar passes by a trick, or a mere
feat of memory, a sheer impudence; while
a conscientious child, better qualified, fails
to pass, from diffidence or want of memory.
The great idea in school teaching should
be to make the study agreeable; this alone
would show the capability and genius of
the teacher.
“Shibkoleth, or Sectarianism*’ 9
A discourse under this title was delivered
on Sunday last, at the Westminster Church,
Twenty-second street, New York, the ad
dress being a plea for the closer unity of
the several Protestant Churches throughout
the world. Dr. Archibald took for his text
the 12th chapter of Judges, wherein is set
forth the action of the Epliraimites in going
to war with the Manassehites under Jeptha,
after his victorious campaign against the
Ammonites. After the men „of Gilead re
pulsed the men of Ephraim they took pos.
session of tho fords and the banks of the
river Jordan, and slew all fugitives who
could not pronounce the word “Shibboleth”
according to the Giieaditish fashion. From
their use of the word the speaker derived
his meaning of sectarianism, showing that
it simply meant “do as we do.” In follow
ing his course of reasoning lie took occasion
to describe the evils of sectarianism and of
local divisions in the churches. As Frank
lin said, a sectarian was like a man in a
fog, t\ho always thought every one he met
closely enveloped in the mist, while he was
seemingly standing aloof, though actually
as much enveloped by the humid atmos'
phere as the others. The rigid sectarian
was often like the inhabitants of our North
ern climes, who frequently saw three suns
or three moons instead of only one. His
narrow or distorted vision saw half a dozen
errors where, perhaps, not one existed.
The speaker then gave a glowing de
scription of the good to be accomplished by
any of the denominational churches by
uniting and making a combined effort,
instead of struggling against each other’s
influence; and he nrged the necessity of
the proposed union by showing that in the
Presbyterian church alone was so often
presented the spectacle of two churches in
one town counteracting each other’s good
effect; whereas by a unity in the church
to cooperate, one edifice and one preacher
could do more work and effectual conver
sion than the two under other circum
stances. A merchant sending out a cloud
of runners would not permit them to cross
each other's path and hinder their fellows—
why then should Christians work against
each other by building up the barriers of
sectarianism and checking the progress of
true religion ? Like Abraham and Lot,
they should cease to quarrel over the field,
but divide it, and reap an abundant har
vest therefrom.
He considered the ultimate union of the
Protestant ohurohes not far distant, and
spoke of the numerous unions consum
mated among the various branohes of the
Presbyterian churches as an indication of
the tendency of all true Christians to
Amalgamate for tho better performance of
tbo great work committed to their care
There would be no denominations known
in Heaven, and believers in tho Saviour
only would be recognized. Hence sectari
anism should disappear, as far as tho more
bitter prejudices at least are concerned.
OPFICIAL.
MACON AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD,
AND TDK CITY COUNCIL.
The following is the Proposition, referred
to in the abstract of the Proceedings of
Council, on Friday afternoon, published in
the Republican of the Bth instant:
Proposition of Ibo Finance Committee
es the City Council of Aufnein.
The Finance Committee nf tbe City Council
having conferred with the Committee cf the
Board of Direotore of the Meson and Auguets
Railroad Company, respectfully report that they
fully recognise the obligation of the city to pay
the asseesment celled for by the Railroad Com
pany, in cub ; but that, in the present state of
our money markets, to sell the City Bonds at
market rates would be as great a sacrifice as to
eubmit to tbe forfeiture of the amount already
paid on the stock.
We would, therefore, propose, as a measure
likely to secure the interests of both parties,
that the City issue Bonds to the amount of
$250,000 —said Bonds to be given in trust to the
Railroad Company as security for tbe ultimate
payment of the $125,000; the City to pay semi
annual interest on the $125,000 at such rate as
may be negotiated Railroad Company, or
this Committee, for tbe hire of the said $125,000,
with a further provision that said Railroad Com
pany may, at any time, sell so muoh of the said
Bonds at not less than eighty.five cents (85o.) in
the dollar, as may bo necessary to moot tho said
call, and tho interest thereon.
(Signed) F. BLODGETT,

On motion of Judge King, the proposition
of the City Council was accepted.
The above is a true extract from the
minutes of* tbe meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Macon and Augusta Rail'

A Fatal ftoncauiilre
Occurred on Thursday evening last, in
Rome, between Major Z. B. Hargrove, of
that city, and a man by the name of Bowen,
from Polk county, which resulted in Bowen's
receiving nine buckshot in his right side
from a double-barrelled gun, in the hands of
Hargrove. The affair grew out of some
misunderstanding that originated just before
the close of the war. Bowen died iu a few
hours after. He leaves a wife and several
children.

Chronic Catarrh,
A Clergyman in a neighboring village had
suffered for many years, from an obstinate
catarrh, which had resisted all attempts for
a cure. The obstruction and discharge
from the nose was constant, destroying
both taste and smell; and at times even
interfering from the change of voice, with
his public ministrations. Almost in des
pair, he commenced the use of Humph
reys Catarrh Specific No. 19, and after the
use of only a few pills—one every night—
found himself improved ; and ere ho had
used an entire box, could consider himself
entirely well. ts

Country Merchants,
In making their purchases, will do well
to call first on Mrs. Pughc, 190 Broad
street, who is selling out her entire stock
cheap. ts
It is now generally acknowledged that
Queen Victoria was the gentle peace maker
who really prevented a riot in 1860, at the
time the Reform meeting was proposed to be
held iu Hyde D ark, London. She sent for
Lord Derby, delivered to him her persona!
command that no troops should be used,
and,us she might well doubt whether he would
feel bound to regard such a prohibition, re
quired of him bis personal pledge that her
order should be obeyed.
Mrs. Yelverton, who is now in the
South, is indefatigable in maintaining her
rights. She lias raised anew action in the
Edinburgh Court of Sessions for the pur
pose of setting aside the judgments to the
former litigations in the Scotch Courts in
the House of Lords. The point upon
which she relies is that the Scotch Courts
have no jurisdiction to pronounce their
judgments, Major Yelverton having never
had a Scotch domicil.
