. i£.|)t fails City Printer—Official Paper LAWHCST CITY* avoobtjl. QA.I WEDNESDAY MORNIXO-Nev. >l. IM6 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.

Georgia Legislature. SENATE. Mim.kiiosvii.i.v, Nov. 19, 1866. Tho Senate met, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Yarborough. Mr. O. P. Beall moved to reconsider the action of the Senate on Saturday in rejecting the hill to -modify the Act creating County Courts. Tha resolution prevailed, and the bill was referred to a special cdtnmittee of five of the Senate. rThe resolution requesting the Gover. nor to lay before the next session of the General Assembly a statement of the amount of land owned 6y the State, and what price the same would bring, was laid upon the table for the present. The bill for the.relicf of the people of the State was taken up as tho special order. Mr. Gresham offered an amendment > explaining the law, as if no# stands, to mean that if the fourth of the debt re quired to be paid by the Ist of January next is not paid, tho creditor shall have n# right to collect.more <han the fourth of the debt. The amendment was lost. Mr. 0. P. Beall introduced an amend ment providing that the first section of the Act hg construed to mean tl}at where the debtor shall foil to pay the first in stallment,, he shall have no right to collect thwremainder until the time pre scribed by -law. The amendment was carried. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 29 to If with provision as follows : Payment of one fourth of the debt is deferred till January Ist, 1868. The other provisions are the same as in the olcLAct. The seven who voted against the amendment are: Messrs. 0. P. Beall, Gresham, Kenan, Reeding, Strozier, McDaniel!, and Owens.

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? Mustard Seed. Important to Maimed Soldiers.— 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 for fitting, of which due notice will be given to each applicant.
