The Vote on the Columbia and
Aufutte Railroad.
The (XutitmtiOH&’iri, of yesterday
morning, say*, editorially :
The friends of “Subscription,” though
"failing to seeMr* ts majority of regis
tered to>tent, sucoeedine in polling a
rote largely beyond that of the oppoii
lion.
And again, in its local column :
The rote fe quite raoagre, from the
fact that many opponents of Subscrip
tion Mitre, whether correct or not, that
the law roqnbrs a majority of the legal
raters of the City to be east fir the
measure, in order to get the question
before Council for consideration.
In 1866. the question Os subscribing
to the Savannah Valley Railroad cause
op before the people, just as did that of
subscribing to the Colombia and An
gusta Railroad on Monday last. It re
sulted, as did the latter, in favor of
“Subscription." The points alluded to
in the paragraphs above, were made
then also;,aud they were so clearly pnt
and so completely answered by the
Constitutionalist of that day, that we
cannot do better now than gfve that
journal's article in full. The article is
taken from the Constitutionalist, of
March 30th, 1856, and is, we have
reason to believe, (Vom the pen of one
of the present proprietors of that paper,
an able and experienced lawyer; and,
therefore, authoritative on legal ques
tions. The article in full, is as follows:
. I SUvawn&h Valley Railroad. —ls
the City Council authorized to subscribe?
Since the result of the vote yesterday
was ascertained, anew question hns
beets sprung by the defeated party,
arising out of the words of the statute
under which the vote was taken. The
twenty-second section reads os- follows :
“ Sec. 22. And be it further enacted,
That the City Council of Augusta be,
and they are hereby, authorized, to sub
scribe for, hold, and dispose of stock, in
the Savannah Valley Railroad Company,
stock in any Railroad Company'orga
nized for the construction of a railroad
from Warrenton, or some other point on
the Georgia Rpilroad.and Ranking Com
pany's road, to Macon; or to the stock
of any other Railroad Company hi, or
out of this State, leading to, or connec
ting with railroads leading tb Augusta,
and to provide by the issue of bonds, or
otherwise, for the payment of the
amount subscribed. But no subscrip
tion shall be made in any case without
the precious concurrence of a majority
of the legal voters of said City as is
hereinafter designated ; the votes to be
taken in the same way and manner, and
returns to be made, as in the case of an
election of Mayor and members of Coun
cil of said City; the time of voting to be
fixed by the City Council, and to be ad
vertised tor at least three days in the
public Gazettes of said city; and unless
a majority of votes be in favor of any
subscription, it, shall not.be made."
It is contended now by some of those
who oppose the subscription, that under
the terms of this Act, it required a ma
jority of all who were entitled to vote on
the question, to give their votes in favor
of subscription to enable Council to
subscribe. They contend the words
“legal voters,” as here used, signify all
those who are entitled under the law to
vote. They contend that “the previous
concurrent#, of a majority of the legal
voters of sdid city,” means the previous
concurrence of a majority of those citi
zeus who are entitled to, vote, whether
they vote or not.
On the other hand, it is contended,!
and most forcibly, that the previous con
currence here required is the concur
rence of a majority of the voters—a
majority of those who vote —of those who
actually come forward and express their
wishes by voting. The jatatuto requires
that those who do so vote, shall be legal
voters, and it specifies the pre requisites
to a citizen’s becoming a legal voter.
If there could be tenable ground for
supposing that the words "legal voters,"
here used, were intended as synonymous
with the words legally entitled to vote,
and that the first italicised portion of the.
■Sentence, above quoted, would, standing
by itself, mean that “No subscription
shall be made in any case, without the
previous concurrence of a majority of
all those in the city legally en-itled to
vote,” a different construction is forced
upon us by what follows.
And unless a majority of votes be
in favor of any subscription, it shall not
be made.” In other words, if a majority
of votes be in favor of subscription, it
may be teadc, There can be no other
meaning 1 to these last words of the Stat
ute. If there was, any ambiguity in
the previous language, there can be
none when taken in connection with the
closing words'of the sentence.
The construction, wo here contend
against, is evidently an after-thought on
the part of the opponents of the subscrip
tion. For days before the election, and
up to the moment of elosiDg the 'Po)l*»
the opponents of subscription used fho
most strenuous efforW' to rally every
man entitled to -vote, and bring him -- ( to
the polls to vote “ no subscription I .'’
Why was this done ? There were one
thousand and ninety names
that was the number of perrons legally
entitled to vote. If they had all voted
that would have been the entire number
of legal votes. Now, if it required a
majority of one thousand and ninety,
to-wit: five hundred and forty-six votes
to be polled in favor Os Subscription,
to authorize the City Council to sub
scribe, where was the necessity of the
opponents of subscription making (his
rally to obtain votes on their side?
Why did they vote at all ? If it were
necessary that there should be live hun
dred and forty-six votes polled fop suti
scriptioN, to that iqgasfire, its, opponents
had oidl tonta/y adray a»d,k«op all they
could influence away fitirm the polls. If
they could have thus prevented a ma
jority of all entitled to vote from record
ing their opinion in fayot of subscription,
their work would have hequ .dyne, and
their triumph complete.
But they seem notso to havcumlerstood
the law. -,Tltey acted as if understand
ing the iaw.tq be, that all tlio.se entitled
to vote were to be allowed lot do so. The
polls were to .be opened. for the purpose,
and as the majority of those voting de
cided —as a majority of those who on
tha .occasion wore “legal voters decided
—so should the City Cos midi Consider
itafclf'irtsfriioted.
The opponents pf eulwcripj-iou acted
throughout as if they understood that
less than u majority ol all the registered
names might decide the subscription.
They acted, and conducted the contest
in the spirit of universal understanding,
that tho question was to bo deoidqd bv
those who voted. As the majority Foul,
so was the Citv Council to lie considered
as instructed for or kgsinstSubscription.
As an independent proposition, we
deny that there is any evidence that one
thousand and ninety was, on yesterday,
March 29th, the number of thoso legally
entitled to vote in the city ; or, in other
wools, that there were that many who
could, by voting, be "legal voters."
Therefore, to have insisted that five hun
dred and forty six votes should be polled
in favor ot subscription, before the City
Council could he authorised to subscribe,
would have been Absurd. The registry
of names closed at 2 P. M., on Monday,
the 2-tih instant. Up to that time one
thousand and ninety registry tickets
were issued. It is clear, theu, that no
more than one thousand and ninety
could legally liavo voted on Saturday,
the 29th. Rut is the presumptiou a
sound one that the whole one thousand
and ninety were iu existence on tho
29th?
Had none of them died ? Had nbue
of them moved away? Had none! of
them become disqualified in any manner
from voting? If proof in such a case
could be gone into, it might perhaps be,
made to appear that the one thousand
and ninety, had, by Providential. or
other causes, been cut down One
thousand and eighty-five, or one thou
sand and seventy, or one thousand and
fifty, or any other given number. The
majority of one of these numbers then,
and not five hundred and forty-six,
would be the proper figure, under the
construction we combat, at which the
law would fix the vote, to authorize sub
scription.
But where is the tribunal to go into
evidence as to the number of deaths,
removals, and disqualifications, arid
thus to fix upon the exact number who
were entitled to vote upon the question
on the day the polls were opened ?
The Associated Press.
The Charleston Mercury has been re
established in the city of Charleston, .S.
C. It is, so far os its relations with tlhe
Associated Press are concerned, a nhw
paper; but its city cotemporariea, the
Courier and the hews, have made no
claim to a bonns, or exacted any condi
tions , precedent-to its receiving the tele
graphic dispatches of that Association.
This is in pleasing contrast with the
conduct of the City papers of
toward the Daily .Prsss. We are re
quired to pay SSOO to each of the two
papers here, and have been personally
abused into the bargain. That, however,
is past and gone. Let It go. We- only
look at the action of the Charleston
papers, as contrasted with that of the
Augusta journals, and ask,why cannot
the “old respectable journals” of this
City emulate the generous courtesy and
liberal example of their Charleston ce
temporarics? We have asked for nothing
but justice. We ask for nothing moue
now. Perhaps, in the reconstruction of
the Associated Press, we may get that
justice. We hope so.
The Ecclesiastical Exodus From
It)lly.— The following intelligence from
the Tyrol is published in the Augsburg
Gazette:
Tbe number of monks and nuns, who,
quitting anti-monastic Italy, are arriving
here to take shelter nnder tire shadow of
the Concordat is so numerous that the
convents are literally overflowing, and
to make matters worse, we understand
that the, debris of the religious societies
of Italy blown hither by the storm of
revolution, think ol settling coun
try. At Trent and its neighborhood six
targe houses are marked out as destined
to receive the members of the various
Italian orders. At Brixeti the Jesuits
from Patjua have bought an extensive
property, whore they intend to found a
college aud an institution for their
pupils. Lastly, a Frenchman, Count
do Breda, Grand Inspector of the Je
suits, has purchased for a sum of 149,-
050 francs, at Dornbirn, in the Vorarl
berg, a property which he has placed at
the disposition of the Italian sons of
Loyola.
Cheerful Women,—Q» if “gloomy”
women did but know what comfort there
is in a cheerful spirit I, How the heart
leaps to meet a sunshiny face, a merry
tongne, and even temper, and a heart
which either naturally, or what is bettor,
from conscientious principle, h%s learned
to take all things on the bright side,
believing that the Giver of life being all
perfect loye,‘the best offering we can
make to Him is to enjoy to the full what
He sends of good and what He allows
of evil; like a child who, when once it
believes in its father, believes iu all his
doings widt ft, whether it understands
thept »r neL
KfcfhongHie tocffndnry Influences which
can be employed, either by or upon a
. naturally anxious or morbid tempera
ment, thqre is none so ready te hand, or
so wholesome, os that so often referred
to—constant employment. Avery large
number' of women, particularly young
women, are by nature constituted so
exceedingly restless of mind, or with
such a strong physical tendency to de
pression, that they can, by no possibility,
keep themselves in a state ot evon tol
erable cheerfulness, except by being
continually occupied. —Miss Mulock.

Materia Metaphysic.
Mr. Editor —For. ages it seems to
have been an interesting inquiry with
philosophers to determine, “What be
comes of our ideas when we forget
them,” and so far both intellect and
instinct have failed to furnish a satis
factory solution. Some of the old time
philosophers thought they were filed
away, as it were, in pigeon holes of a
cabinet or desk; and more recently
Speersheim, or some other Dutchman,
has concluded that they retired and be*
came latent in certain phrenological
bumps of the brain. The origin of thi B
theory is very plain, for you may have
observed, that when a negro is at a loss
for an idea, he invariably scratches his
head; some white folks do the same
thing, and when one of them happens to
be driving an obstinate, or perhaps lazy,
mule or ox, which refuses to go, or goes
slowly they as invariably hit him on the
head. This is decidedly instinctive, and
demonstrates very clearly the prevalence
of instinct in the lower animals over
intelligence. Unfortunately, however,
for this theory, these phrenological au-_
tomatic brain bumps are'qtiite liatde to
be excited by extraneous aud independ
ent causes, thus a louse, ilea, or mosquito,
in their geographical explorations of a
wooly scull cap, may cause all sorts of
excitement among the bumps, aud a
lousy poor fellow may be put in a good
or bad humor without comprehending
the “reason why or wherefore,” and he
may dance a jig, or steal a chicken, or
cut his throat, under the influence of
instinct, which his uneducated mind
can not comprehend or eoutrol.
In our intercourse with the humanized
animals, we find the.raw hide and the
spur fully rs efficient as knocking on
the head, and with those of some intel
ligence, a kick produces wonderful
effects; yet we cannot logically con
clude that their latent .ideas are located,
in their backs, flanks, or bottoms.
Religion is “mum from Moses down
to Brigham Yonng, sensations are
predominant, including Mahomet; sen
sualism prevails. Polities is “mum
from Ossian to Andy Johnson, in
stinct governs. The State, the gov
ernment of the' world, may be repre
sented by a humanized, curly-tailed pig.
The people ave “mum ;” steeped in the
licentiousness of liberty, not one in a
thousand have souls worth saving. The
Press ? ? ? ? ? -the fifth estate, whiskey 1
rampant 1 Not one of them can tell
what becomes cf our| ideas when we
forget them ; and it these powers are at
fault, why not fall back on first princi
ples (faith, if yon please), aud get up
some'rational human principle compe
tentto govern the Mind of the world?

We are requested, says the Macon lele
graph, by Dr. Bly, the contractor with
the State for artificial limbs, to say
that all persons who receive orders for
limbs should cotnmunica e to biro at
Macon, giving their address plainly
written, so that he may communicate
with them, and send blanks for meas
ures, as it will be necessary to have
them in order to construct the limbs.
No one should visit the manufactory
until the limb is partly made and ready
