The annual reports of officers of tbe va-
„‘“ railroads in the South, so far os they
h appeared, show a sad falling off uf
■ -'ness * a mo8t inst8nce3 il is ascribed to
^ticiency iu the ftmount of trft ve], chiefly
. iir. King, the intelligent President
f the Georgia Railroad, extracts from whose
nt report appeared in our columns yes-
estimates the falling off gross profits
L 1 ;*,. his own road, as compared with last
‘ * ftl the high figures of $133,418 25, and
■ .-Vthis decrease “has been almost exelu-
Sv in local travel—lor which there is lit-
J 0 J n0 competition, and clearly indicates
the impoverished condition of the country
immediately tributary to our (his) road.”
The deficiency exists, too, despite the fact
that Uie ltoad transported twice as much
cotton as it did the year previous.
ijuch is the trouble. In searching through
the report of Mr. King, wo were somewhat
surprised to find t l jat 110 suggests no remedy
lor so serious an aspect of alf iirs. The los9
is conceded, and the report seems to t ike it
for eraoted that the Company must be con-
tent to submit to the iuconvenience of re
duce! profits until prosperity shall have re
turned to the country uuder a wise and
'equitable management of its affairs. We
and. however, in perusing the report, that
Sir-King lias realty stumoled on the key to
moit of the railroad troubles at the South,
hij own among the rest, though his sagacious
mind geems not to have suggested to him
the way of putting it to practical use. We
quote his exact language, for it contains an
important thought, which all railroad men
should remember, and reduce to practice,
lie savt: .
“In previous reports, tho Directors have
stated their reasons for tho belief that the
only reliable resource tor the profits is the
local business, or the business of the country
naturally tributary to the Road.
••Ibis, as a general truth, becomes more
obvious as rainoads multiply and competi
tion increases. Previous to the institution
ol r ailroads, the marts of commerce, as well
as the leading channels of communication
with them, were generally established by
nature. They are now established, or main
ly controlled, by money, aud the labor and
enterprise of man. fto distant or through
busimsscan be safely relied on. By new
hues, it is constantly liable to be diverted,
or rates run down by competition below the
paying point. Judging by the past, our
local business should not only p ty, but pay
—
[From the New York World ]
Is the President Bound to Execute an
Unconstitutional Law 1—An Unpub
lished Letter of Jefferson’s.
Here is a valuable idea, clearly set forth,
and sustained by unanswerable logic. Un
fortunately, the conclusion lhat necessarily
follows such well established premises, has
never received a due consideration from the
railroad managers of the South. It' “the
local business, or the business of the country
naturally tributary 5 ’ to a road, be its best
and “most reliable resource lor profits,”
how strange it is that, as a general rule, so
little effort has been made to eucourage,
loiter, and build up that business. The
usual practice of our railroad meu is to cou-
sider that, portion of their business as secured
fad by the law of necessity—they hold it a9
a monopoly—it could not go elsewhere if it
would—the parties residing on our line are
obliged to patronize us whether they wish
to or not, and consequently we have the
power of dictating our own terms. Has not
6uch been the general policy of our railroads,
and iu proof oi the fact is it not true that
the people residing along the line of a rail
road are, almost invariably, inimical to it
and complaining of its arbitrary impositions.
Tney are charged higher in proportion than
other people for both freight and passage,
and the whole policy of the road toward
them seems to say, *‘We have you in our
power, aud we intend to grind you.”
New, we submit, is this the proper treat
ment for anybody toward his “best and
most reliable’’ customers?' 5 Is it wise to
put large and regu ar patrons on harder
terms thun a man who throws you a penny
once iu six months or two years ? Is the
farmer, who visits his market town five or
six times a year, and pays large amounts
into the treasury of a road, entitled to less
consideration than a stranger from a dis
tance who passes over the line once a year
on his trip to the North? We think not,
and yet such is the practical economy of
■I Southern railroads. 'Jhruugli freights and
passage, which, as Mr. King truly says, “arc
constantly liable to be diverted” by com
peting lines, are reduced to the lowest
figures possible, while way freights and
I passage—permanent business—is taxed in
order to extend the privilege. We maintain
that this is neither justice nor sound policy.
It wroDgs the public and eventually harms
the road.
Never was there a better time than the
present for the inauguration of a salutary
reform in our railroad management. Alter
*11, it turns out that the people have some
power even over monopolies. They must
send their produce and bring their supplies,
fiat they are not obliged to travel, and just
fiere tno railroads are losing thousands, by
Monopoly prices, which they might bling
into their coffers by a liberal system of rates
passengers. ‘
By the civility and public spirit of the pos
sessor, we are lurniahed with a transcript of
the following letter of President Jefferson,
written in the first year of his administra
tion. It is superscribed

“EDWARD LIVINOSTON, Esq ,
“Mayor of
“New York.”
Mr. Livingston was, at that time, United
States District-Attorney at New York as
well as Mayor of the city. The pertinent
bearing of the letter on the impeachment
of President Johnapn will be manifest on
perusal; j
Washington, November 1,1801.
“Deab Sir : I some days ago reoeived a
letter from Messrs- Denniston & Ctietbam of
the most friendly kind, aakmij-the general
^grounds on which the none prosequi in
Duaue’s case ought to be presented to the
public, which they proposed to do. You
are sensible I must avoid committing my
self in that channel of justification, and that
were I to do it in this case, I might be called
on by other printers in other caseg where it
might be inexpedient to say anything. Yet,
to so civil an application, I canuot recon
cile myself to the incivility of giving no an
swer. I have thought, therefore, of laying
your friendship under contribution, and ask
ing you to take the trouble of seeing them
and of saying to \ hem, that the question
being in the line of the law, I had desired
you to give them the explanation neces
sary. My text of explanation would be
this : The President is to have the laws ex
ecuted. He may order an offence then to
be prosecuted. If he sees a prosecution
put into a train which i9 not lawful he may
order it to be discontinued and put into le
gal train. I found a prosecution going on
against Duane for an offence against .the
Senate, loanded on the. sedition act. I af
firm that act to be no law because in oppo
sition to the Constitution, and I shall treat
it as a nullity wherever it comes in the way
of my functions. I therefore directed lhat
prosecution to be discontinued and a new
oue to be commenced, founded on whatso
ever other law might be in existence against
the offence. This was done, and the (irand
Jury, finding no other law against it, de
clined doing anything under the biil. There
appears to me to be no weak part in any of
these positions or inferences. There is,
however, in the application to you to trouble
yourselt with the question. For this I owe
apology, and build it on your goodness and
friendship. Health and happiness cum
caetris votis.
Th : Jefferson.
“Edward Livingston, Esq.
It is clamored by a thousand Radical
tongues, and daily asseverated in all their
public journals, that the President is bound
to execute all acts of Congress, whether they
are constitutional or not; and that until
they are adjudged void by the {Supreme
Court, it is a high crime for him to make any
distiuctiou between acts consistent with, and
acts repugnant to, the Constitution. This
absurd pretence has been again and again
exploded 'by argument, aud never perhaps
with more strength and clearness than by
Mr. Evarts in his admirable speech. But
example is more impressive than doctrine;
and as Jefferson is revered as one of the
most patriotic of onr Presidents, itte pre
posterous to call that a crime in Mt. John
son which wasyesteemed an act of public vir
tue in him. Jefferson believed the Sedition
law to be void for repugnance to the Consti
ta’.ijn, and he so treated it, notwithstand
ing that it had never been set aside by the
Supreme Court
Iu Duane’s case, President JeffewbO* in
stead of ordering a nolle prosequi, might have
left the prisoner to his natural line ot defence
in arguing, by hia counsel, that the law was
unconstitutional; and if the Court below de
cided against him, appealing to the Supreme
Court. But Jefferson took a different view
of his sworn dnty “to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution.” Believing the law
to be an infringement of the Conslituiioo, he
treated it as completely null at every point
where he came into official contact with it,
thinking himself under no obligation to wait
for the opinions of the judiciary. If, there
fore, President Johnson has committed a
crime, President Jefferson committed a much
greater crime. Mr. Johnson merely intended
to put things in train to get a judicial deci
sion; Jefferson held an unconstitutional law
in too much contempt to suffer it to go into
Court. ... . . c
The impeachers say it is the duty ot the
President to execute the laws. Unquestion
ably it is. Bat an unconstitutional act of
Congress is no law; and being no law, tbe
President is not bound to execute it. If
Coneress should pass a law creatiug an order
of nobility, would the President be bound to
execute that ? It it should pass an act lay
ing a dnty on exports, would be be bound to
execute it? It is written : “This Constitu
tion, and the laws of the United States, which
SHALL BE MADE IN PURSUANCE THEREOF, Shall
be the supreme law of the land;” but laws
which violate the Constitution are perfectly
null, and bind nobody. The Constitution is
mere waste paper, and the will of Congress
is absolute, if ad acts of Congress are alike
binding, whether they conflict with the Con
stitution or conform to it.

far passengers. The trains are obliged to
run, aud it co9t9 about as much to ruo them
empty as to run them full. If the companies
*ould only reduce their way fares one-half,
we are convinced they would overcome, in a
great measure, tho losses arising lrom the
“impoverishment of the country through
Which they pass,” and make friends instead
of enemies of the public. Their local travel
W)uld be quadrupled, and the cities at either
e od would be built up and their languishing
trade revived.
These suggestions are not intended as a
scold for any pardcular road. They’ are
prompted by the report of Mr. King, a pd

to promote, as for as we can, the best inter-
fc:ls of both the roads and the people.
WHOLESALE DIURDER IN NORTHERN
ARKANSAS.
A Father Murdered by HU Wife** Par
amour—Thu Throat* of Four Chrildren
Cut—The Partiee AH Negroes,
[From the St. Genevieve (Mo.) Democrat.]
On Tuesday we were called upon by Mr.
B. Hurst, of Pocahontas, Ark., who kindly
placed us in possession of the particulars of
oue of the most deliberate, cold-blooded and
barbarous wholesale massacres ever perpetrated
in this barbarous land and age.
Mr. Hurst informs us that some twelve or
fourteen miles northwest of Pocahontas, and
__ the edge or in the close vicinity of Wild
Duck, (sometimes called Little Cypress Swamp)
is a small hamlet, inhabited by about fifty fam
ilies of negroes, who have erected themselves
huts, and obtain a precarious subsistence by
pillaging the hen-roosts and smoke-houses of
the community for miles around. These ne
groes are all armed, and the people are com
pelled to submit being plundered by them
because they are powerless to resist the black
marauders, who are under the leadership of a
black man, who professes to be a preacher, and
they call their village Lincoln, in honor of the
late President.
The leader is named John Cochran, and was
formerly a slave of the late Judge Leonard
Cochran, of Desha county, Ark. He is unmar
ried, but has been performing the duties of
husband toward the wife of Wes Babcock, an
ex-soldier, who, about Christmas, discovered
the guilty connection, and attempted the life of
Cochran, who shot and instantly killed him.
Cochran then moved his effects from his own
hut to that of the murdered man, and hence
forth lived openly with the woman- Babcock
left several children, and whether their pres
ence constantly reminded the guilty couple of
their crime, or to furnish theu month* with
food required more exertion than Cochran

Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca
pable of producing a weakness of the gen
erative organs. The organs of generation,
when in perfect health, make the man. Did
you ever think that those bold, defiant, en
ergetic, persevering, successful business men
are always those whose generative organ:
are in perfect health ? You never hear such
men complain of being melancholy, of ner
vousness, of palpitation of tho heart. They
are never afraid they cannot succeed in busi
ness; they don’t become sad and discour
aged; they are always polite and pleasant in
the company of ladies, and look you and
them right in the face—none of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. I do not mean those who keep the
organs inflamed by running to excess. These
will not only min their constitutions, but
also those they do business with or for.
