At Forsyth station the salary of the Methodist pastor was paid in full. We mention this item to show that some con gregations are honest enough to come up to their obligations. A Washington dispatch says the President will recommend the repeal of all the excises, save on tobacco, spirits, and fermented Honors, and the reduction of these, calculated to leave a revenuo of $100,000,000. It is estimated that Congressman Robeson, of New Jersey, spent $70,000 in his late canvass for a re-election, and he failed at that. One topic of his speeches was a denunciation of the lack of "free elections” at the South. San Ah Brail, a Burmese noble man who has been living in this county twelve years, and has been graduated from three American colleges, is lectur ing in the South under the auspicies of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion. An instance of the marvelous tlevel opement of the South in the way of manufactures, is witnessed in Birming ham, Ala. It has nearly 4,000,000 of dollars invested in iron manufacture, whereas, only a few years ago it was an obscure village. in the Supreme court at Boston, in a hearing as to the alimony to be paid his divorced wife by Chas. It. Thorne, Jr., one theatrical manager testified that the actor could earn $8,700 in a season of 40 weeks; another placed his value at s'22o per week, while a third estimated his receipts at $3,000 to $5,000 per annum. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, have organized Building Associations for the benefit of their employees, which will enable members of the Association to acquire homes of their own at net cost, upon long time and in such small installments as not practically to exceed a fair rental of the property they occupy. Mr. Governor Stephens has issued a very stringent order to Dr Rains, of the penitentiary board, in which he is to make a prompt, thorough and exhaus tive investigation of the condition of the State convicts in all the camps. The lessees are to be also investigated, and everything that ]atv and humanity dic tates is to be done for those unfortunate people. A cubic inch of gold is worth $210; a cubic foot, $362,380; a cubic yard, $9,797,702. This is valuing it at $lB an ounce. At the commencement of the Christian era there was then in the world $427,000,000 in gold. This had di minished to $57,000,000 at the time America was discovered. Then it began to increase. Now the amount of gold in use is estimated to be $6,000,000. In tlie sixteen Southern States and the District of Columbia the white school population is 3,899,901, and the colored 1,803,207. There are 10,669 colored public schools, 44 normal schools, 30 colored institutions of sec ondary in'-trnetion, 12 colored univer sities and colleges, 22 colored schools of theology, 3 colored law schools, 2 colored medical schools, and 2 colored deaf and dumb and blind institutions. A large amount of unfinished busi ness will come before the second session of the Forty-seventh Congress Dur ing the last session of Congress there Were introduced in the Senate 2,283 hills and joint resolutions and in the House of Representatives 7,182 bills and joint resolutions. About 800 propositions were reported favorably to the House of Rprespntatives and about 300 bills and joint resolutions passed that body. The Seriate passed nearly 500 bills and joint resolutions, lut of these only about 300 found their place on the statute book. Railroad and Inter-State Com merce. The question of how State authority and National authority, without con flict and confusion, but in constitutional harmony and practical co-operation, can be exercised with efficient vigor for the just and wholesome regulation of rail road traffic, has been brought into re newed prominence by a decision of the railroad Commissioners of the State of Massachusetts just rendered in regard to a case of differential freight rates charged by the New York and New- Hngland Railroad Company. The New-York and New-England Railroad Company it appears charged a higher rate per ton for carrying Coal from Norwich to Webster, a distance of forty three miles, than from Norwich to W orcester, a distance of fifty-nine miles. This the Railroad Commissioners of Massachusetts have decided to be ille gal, basing the validity of their action upon decisions of the United States Supreme Court, which affirm the abso lute right of a State to fix maximum rates for transportation either within a State or begun outside of a State and carried within it, or begun within it and carried without. The Supreme Court of the United States has by its decisions not only declared the right of the State to regulate commerce on rail roads within the State, but has given the State concurrent jurisdiction with Congress, to regulate commerce between the States, Congress not having taken the initiative. If the State has such a power, it clearly has the right to forbid discrimination by charging more fdt a shorter than for a longer distance on the same line and in the same direction. That the policy of some roads has been such as to benefit the termini and larger . places at the expense of the smaller centres, and of the people generally, is perfectly patent. The true policy, as pointed out by the Massachusetts Com missioners, is for a railroad to develop its local as well as its through business, and it will be wise policy for all corpo rations to revise their rates so as not to discriminate against the small centres of industry and commerce in favor of the large ones. The legislative power, State, as well as Federal, being suffi cient to protect the people in their rights, there would seem to be little danger that unjust discrimination should be permanent, or indeed that unreasonable rates should be enforced. Once let it be generally accepted as law and fact that the State is the creator, and, therefore, the regulator of the rail road corporations, and those shrewd organizations will conform speedily to such policy as will be pleasant to the public and profitable to them. Every case which is brought before the courts, and each argument before legislative bodies, tends to clarify the doctrine, and to crystallize it in favor of the gen eral welfare, which will be found in the long run to be the highest interest also of the corporations. The above leader from the old and reliable Shipping List (which by the way is considered authority upon com mercial matters in the metropolis) shows that the Massachusetts Commis sioners have given the people of their State the benefits of the United States Supreme Court decisions, “that a great er charge for a less distance, than for a long one, is illegal.” This covers the whole ground of trouble between the Railroads and the people. The question can nevor be permanently settled on any other basis, for the Court of last resort has decided it to be the law, and the sooner our Railroad Commissioners come squarely up to their work and enforce this de cision, the sooner will the whole trouble be settled. Sumter. An interesting rumor comes from New Orleans to the effect that Gen. Gustave Pierre Tourtant Beauregard is about to many Mrs. Cornelius Van derbilt, the widow of the dead commo dore. Beauregard, as all the world knows, was one of the greatest engi neer officers on either side in the late war. Carefully trained at West Point, where he graduated second in his class in 1840, he rendered valuable services to the United States in the Mexican war, and invaluable services against it in the war of the rebellion, He is considered to-day one ut the foremost military en gineers of his time by competent crit ics. Some of them contend that he is the equal of any engineer since Vauban. Certain it is that he is very highly spoken of, and that some of his work— that at Manassas battle field, in Vir ginia, for example—is pointed by the older engineer officers of the army as a model for the young lieutenants of the corps. The syndicate now being formed in Georgia to bribe the legislators in fa vor of what is known as the Bullock bogus bonds, is going to create a sen sation. The syndicate claims that the merits of the bonds have never been tested before the courts, and will ask that they be given a hearing. A wide field is going to be opened in this mat ter, and much money will be spent on legislators, one way and another. The Financial Chronicle reports the cotton receipts up to Friday at all the ports, this season at 2,187.240, against 2.078.640 last year over last, at all ports 108,536. We can see nothing in these figures that can give life and vitality to the estimates ot 7,000,000 bales, and upward which are indulged—or prom ulgated by the cotton “bears,” nor is there anything in the volume of re ceipts at interior points to justify the prediction of a crop exceeding 6,500,000 bales. Many of the best contton ob servers that we have met, do not be lieve the crop now heing gathered will much exceed 6,000,000, even if it reach those figures. THE STATE CAPITAL.

The following is said to have hap ened when the legislature adjourned some months ago, but we did not hear of it until yesterday; Avery prominent member of the legislature, who bad been paying a great deal of attention to the widow Bombazine, told her, on calling with his carpet bag in his hand, that he was about to leave Austin, and she must forget him. She replied that he had trifled with her affections, and now he proposed to leave her desolate. “It’s not my fault,” he replied, with tears in his eyes. “I would keep on trifling with your affections if I could only stay here, but as I can’t, you will have to get some other trifling cuss to stay here. The organic law is to blame' that limits the sessions of the legisla ture and compels tr.e to leave Austin and go back to my family.”— Texas Siftings. An Amusing Court Scene. A young Austin lawyer was appoint ed to defend a negro who was too poor to hire counsel of his own. After the jury was in the box the young lawyer challenged several jurymen whom his client said had a prejudice against him. “Are there any more jurymen who have a prejudice against you?” whis pered the young lawyer. “No, boss, de jury am all right, hut now I wants you to challenge de jedge. I has been convicted under him seberal times already, amt maybe he is begin nin’ to hab prejudice agin me.” The young lawyer, this being his first case, took the advice of his client, and, addressing the court, told the judge he could step aside. —Texas Siftings Dr. R.
