declamations and compositions.—
the manner in which the youths
acquitted themselves I would not be

majority report.
2’o the Conjress of the United State
The undersigned, a committee ap
pointed by a convention held at Atlan
ta, Ga., on the 20th day of May, 1S73,
composed of representatives from
tlnrtiren States, to memorialize Con
gress upon the necessity for cheaper
transportation between the great pro
ducing and consuming sections of the
country, respectfully represent;
That the vast interests, common to
all sections ol'lhc country, involved in
the opening of lines of water commu
nication between the Atlautie sea
board and the great "basin of the Mis
sissippi,” entitle the proposed routes
to the immediate and earnest atten
tion of the United Stales Government
The necessity for cheaper transporta
tion is vital and urgent, aud the best
means of securing it is a question up
on the wise and speedy solution of
which depends the continued prosperi
ty and contentment of tli2 country.
To the West and South this ques
tion is of peculiar importance.—Their
interests are iu a great measure iden
tical. being the two great producing
sections. The benefits of clican trans
portation must be felt by all other sec
tions in an almost equal degree. Iu
the lour States of Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina and Alabama, there is
an annual deficiency of fifty millions
bushcles of grain, which must be sup
plied from the West.
This deficiency is increasing, owing
to the great decrease of available
farm labor and the rapid increase of
the non-produciug population of those
States. Whether the deficiency in the
other Southern States and the conse
quent high prices for subsistence are
taken into cousidera'ion, it will l>e
seen at once that no question is of
such vital moment to tho South as
cheap transportation.
Since 18(»G, the value of cotton (raw
and manufactured) exported lrom the
United States, amoun’s to $1,500,000,-
000. This is about CO per cent, of our
total exports in value. Cotton is in
deed our only reliable aud remunera
tive article of export,, and is the real
basi* of the wealth of the whole coun
try.
The preseut high rates of freight
prevent the exportation of grain
from the United Stales almost entire
ly, although our surplus is sufficient
for the wants of the civilized world.
They also compel the Southern States
to employ a large portion of their lim
ited laber in the production of food-
crops (to which their soil and climate
are not adapted) aud to that extent
deprive the West of a market. To il
lustrate, the average production ol
corn iu the four States mentioned is
ten bushels per acre. To make up the
deficiency in the quantity now produ
ced it would be necessary to cultivate
at least live million acres.—This acre
age devoted to cotton would yield at
least 1,250,000 bales, worth, 15 cents
per pound, $125,000,000. Deduct ft ora
this the value of the corn which the
same acreage would produce, ami wc
have $75,000,000 to represent the
amount of loss suffered annually by
the Southern aud Western farmers
from a lack of facilities for a cheap in
terchange of products.
This direct loss is greatly increased
h}’ the reflex operation of the causes
uuder consideration. The high price
of food increases the cost of the manu
facture as well as of the production of
every other article wc need. While
the Western farmer realizes but a pit
tance upon his teeming crops, every
manufactured article which lie uses
conics to him burdened by onerous
and oppressive tariffs. Cheap trans
portation from the West would not on
ly cheapen lood, but would, as a con
sequence, also cheapen labor. This
result would enable the manufacturer
to supply our wants at greatly redu
ced prices, and would enable him lo
compete successfully ad road as well as
at home. Our manufactories would
increase, our exports would be doub
led, out shipping interests* revived,
aud the balance of trade would be
largely In our favor instead of against
us us it now is.
Those States watered by the Missis
sippi river aud its tributaries are the
granary of the Union, and might be
the granaries of the world, but isolated
as they virtually are. for the waul of
cheap aud adequate transportation,
existing evils must increase and spread
uutil poverty and bankruptcy over
shadow the whole land.
The feverish anxiety which pervades
the public mind upon this subject is
abundantly shown iu the fact that t’on-
gre.-s is gravely asked to take control
of the entire railroad system of the
country, and by legislative action reg
ulate their charges. Whether this
would mitigate or aggravate the evil—
whether by Congressional manage
ment. the cost of operating the roads
would be 60 diminished a* to afford
the desired relief, are questions which
do not admit of discus-ion here. They
are only mentioned to show that a
great pressing necessity underlies the
whole matter, which cannot louger re
main unheeded, without serious detri
ment to the public interest.
The entire value of a bushel of corn,
transported a thousand miles by rail,
is consumed by ihe cost of transporta
tion. This leaves no profit to the car
rier, none to the shipper, and not one
cent to the producer.
that if the railroad should carry
corn for its actual cost and nothing
more, from $L Louis to Savannah, or
from Chicago to New York, the pro
ducer would still receive no adequate
remuneration for his labor. Neither
can the indefinite multiplicatior of
rai’roads. nor any legislative restric
tion as to freight charges, cure the
evil, so long as the actual cost of oper
ating railroads remain undiminshed.
Until this cost shall be reduced, by
means not uow known, a resort to
either of the remedies proposed will
prove a mere exDedieut, which, in the
end will surely disappoint public ex
pectation. We do not want expe-
dients or partial remedies. A cure of
the evil is demanded bj' the farming
iuterst of the country; and to nothing
short of this should we look for perma
nent relief! In seeking this relief, the
first steps to be taken w to find a less
costly mode of transi>ortation than by
rail. Experience teaches us that wa
ter furnishes the cheapest means of
transportation known to the commer
cial world, and there is but little rea
son to doubt that the solution ct this
whole question will be found to rest
upon the construction of great lines of
water communication between the
West and the Seaboard, wherever ua-
tuiehas provided away. Build the
Niagara 'Ship Canal, connecting the
lakes I)}* an unbroken chain of naviga
tion from Chicago tp the sea; connect
lake Champlaiu by ship canal with
the Iludson; enlarge the Eric Canal,
if possible, extend \’our water lines
from the lakes to the Mississippi by
every proposed route,. where nature
has provided a way; improve the nav
igation of 3’our rivers so that barges
may pass through the entire length
without hindrance, aud you will have
done more to relieve the country from
its present troubles than we ’justly
hope to secure by an}’ other means.
In this way the railroads may be
made the feeders aud distributors for
the "reat trade arteries, and the caus-
which now induce them to enter in
to extensive leases and combinations,
many instances so injurious, would,
a great degree, cease to exist.
A glance at the map will be suffi
cient to show that, from the great
lakes to the Missippi river, there is a
vast expan e of country, divided by
the Apalachaiu chain, which separates
the waters of the Atlantic, from those
which flow into thy Gulf of Mexico.
The Ohio aud the Sanies rivers have
their sources among the mountains of
this chain; and further South, also the
Tennessee, the Coosa and Ocmulgee.
Bccent surveys have demonstrated
that it is feasible to connect b}- canal
the Ohio and' the James river, aud
thus, so to speak, turn the Mississippi
into the Atlantic at ^Norfolk and at
Savannah. The merits of the James
river and the Kanawha canal have
been fully discussed, and we will not
pause hereto repeat the many reasons
which have been offered iu favor of
this great work. We crave, however,
}’our attention for a moment, while we
point out some of the advantages
which would flow from tho construc
tion of the Atlantic and Great W
Canal, connecting the Mississippi
through the Tennessee river with the
Atlantic ocean at Savannah, Georgia.
The Tennessee outers the Ohio a
short distance above the confluence of
the latter with the Mississippi. From
this point the general direction of the
Tennessee is southeast, to the State of
Alabama. At that point the Coosa
aud the Tennessee approach each
other— there being only a narrow neck
of land between them. Across this
isthmus a canal thirty miles loti;,
would connect lliesc two rivers, aud
opeu navigation to Borne, Georgia.
From Borne the route follows the Eto
wah to its nearest poiut ol approach
to the Ocmulgee river, and down the
latter to the city of Macon, and there
by to the sea. Nature has already
supplied the greater portion of this
route, and it remains for us D
plete the work which she has s>
begun. The route has been surveyed
by distinguished engineers of the Wi
Department, and has been prououn-
d by them eminently Iscaible.
It oilers the following advanta^
First, Cheap transportation,
cording to the official reports the cost
ol transportation a ton of grain from
St. Louis to Savannah, by this route,
would be $4,HS. It costs, l*y rail, $14.-
Thc saving upon each ton would
he $!>,52— amounting in the aggregate
to about $14,000,000 per annum, upon
grain alone, to be divided between ihe |
consumer and producer. |
Second, this route would be open
the entire year, never rendered im
practicable by ice m winter, nor by
drought in summer.
Third, It would greatly increase the
coasting trade, luruishing employment
during the winter months (when the
Niagara Ship Canal shall be opened)
to the steamers aud other vessels en
gaged during summer upon the
lakes.
Fourth, The route passes through
immense forests of yellow pine; aud
the west would be able to obtain the
best lumber in unlimited quantities,
and at low prices.
Fifth, It opens all the Southern
Stales east ol the Mississippi river, as
a market for its grain, bacon, ha}* aud
other products, the demand for which
will constantly increase. In this the
West would he absolutely without a
competitor.
Sixth, It will furnish cheap trans-
partatiou for raw cotton to the other
sections, and lor the manufactured ar
ticle in return. Such advantages
would certainly develop the manufac
ture of cotton to a vast extent iu the
western and northwosteru States, aud
eastern States.
In view of these considerations, wc
most respectfully and earnestly urge
the government of the United Stales
to extend such aid to these works as
will ensure their speedy construction.
* MINORITY REPORT.
The. undersigned, a tuiuority of your
Committee ou Business, regret that
they cannot agree to the report of the
majority. Some of us caunot consent
iu all ol its details to the memorial, as
set forth in the report of majority of the
committee. We submit to your bod}’
the following, in addition to that re
ported by the majority, and recom
mend the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That, in the opinion of
this Convention, the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal, as well as all
other enterprises of simalar character
for cheap water transportation, should
be national highways—built, owned
and controlled by the United States
Government, without the intervention
of any corporation whatever.
Resolved, Tnat all such highways
should be made practically free, aud
no other toll he exacted by their traff
ic than is needed to maintain them.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the intervention of anv cor[K>ratiou
between the people, who are to pay
for the use oftl^se works, and the
Government.
-ill of which is resiK-ctfully submit
ted.
The minority report was signed by
Tomlinson Fort of Tennessee, Her
bert Radcliff of Massachusetts J. M.
Eason dlb South Carolina. John V.
Gould ofKentucky. and F. L. Viilip-
gue of Florida.
J. W. R. Pope moved to amend by
striking out "Savannah” wherever it
occur* in the majorit}’ report and in
serting Southeastern Atlantic ports;
which prevailed.
The majority retort as amended,
was then adopted by the following
vote:
Fear—Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, North Carolina. South
Carolina. New Y'ork. Missouri. Flori
da. Virginia and Georgia—1^-4.
Says—Tennessee—12.
CH1CKAMAUGA CANAL.
The following resolution, reported by
the Business Committee was adopted:
Resolved, That we request Congress
to have »urveys mode for a canal from
the month of South Chickamauga
creek, in the Tennessee river, to Home,
Ga., in the Coosa river.
Catching a Wife.
The most curious ceremony known
to the Esquimaux, says Dr. llavs, in
his lecture, is, perhaps, that of mar
riage. 11 is done thus : When a boy
kills a polar bear, ii is considered suffi
cient proof of Ins ability to uiaintaiu
a family ; he is, therefore, told to go
an»l catch a wife. Watching his op
portunity at night time, lie pounces
npou a victim, aud attempts ;o carry
her off; she. however, struggles anil
shrieks, uutil she has collected around
her a group of sympathizers. $he
their turns upon her captor, aud bites
aud scratches until he is compelled to
release her ; she then darts into the
crowd, and attempts to cscapo ; he
follows but not unmolested.
All the old women take scourges of
dried seal skin and flagellate him un
mercifully .ns he passes, making at
the same time every effort to arrest
him in his course. If. despito these
little experiments in matrimonial bliss,
hu should catch his victim, the biting
and scratching acetic is renewed, and
in all piobability he is compelled to
release her, and'the chase, with its at
tendant comforts, is resumed. Should
he overcome all obstacle, tho third
capture usually proves effectual, and
the victim, ceasiug her struggles, is led
away amid the acclamations and re
joicing of the assembled multitude.—
Ex.
With us the mothcr-iu-law comes to
time with her flagellating apparatus
after the interesting ceremony, whilst
the wife reserves her scratching pro
pensities for some occasion when her
John Henry comes rollicking home.

thus told au iucidcnt couuected with a
ride on the New York Central Bail-
road :
"1 had observed that at each change
of the cars, aud they were frequent,
when the general scramble tock place
one car was defended from the assault
by a stalwart man, usually of the Ir
ish pcrsualion, who, deaf to meuaccs
and uusofteued by bribes, maintained
his nost for the benefit of the “teddies/
"Leddies’ car, sir, av you please ;
furred car for gintlcmcn without la
dies.”
"Need 1 say that this car was the
comfortable one iu the whole train,
aud with the firm resolve that distin
guished me in the discharge of my du
ty towards rnvsclf, determined to get
into it. So when wc chauged cars at
Utica, I rushed forth, aud seciti;
nice young (>ersoii and a pretty face
urging her way through the crowd, 1
stepped up to her side, and with un
natural grace aud gallantry, offered
my arm and assistance. They were
graccfullvt accepted, aud proud of my
success, 1 urged my fair charge upon
the. platform of the ladies cm

Growino DesfeRATE.—The un
fortunate spinsters of Massachusetts,
who are every day increasing in num
bers, while by an unhappy fatality the
marriageable males are rapidlv de
creasing, have determined upon a des
perate expedient to relieve themselves
from the "horrors (as Sir Boyle
Bochc would*delight to say) ot single-
blcssedness.” One hundred and six
ty-two women ol Lowcl have united
in a petition to the Legislature to
make polygamy legal. By this sim
ple method they propose lo apportion
the men iu such a manner that every
lorn virgin may bo sure of a husband.
The men, however, have not been
consulted, aud will probably object
most seriously to any such arrange
ment. Many of them now prefer°to
leave the Stute rather than mate with
ouc of its strong-minded women ; and
if they arc threatened with twenty, a
general exodus may he expected.—
The determined maidens have attach
ed a condition to their request, which
would defeat its object if the law
should he passed viz : that the conscut
of the first wife should be procured be
fore the soleniuizatiou of subsequent
marriages. In the meantime Gov.
Andrews’ “forty thousand aimless
women” are still without husband*
and kuow not what to do.- Ex.

The Bright Side.
Look ou the bright side. It is the
right side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier to wear
a gloomy and sad countenance. It is
the sunshine, and not the cloud, that
makes the flower. The sky is blue
ten time* where it is black once. You
have troubles—so have others. None
arc free from them. Trout lc give*
sinew and life—fortitude and courage
to man. That would be a dull sea.
where there would be nothing to dis
turb the surface of the ocean. What
though thing* look a little dark V The
lane turns and the night will end iu
broad day. There is more virtue m
one sunbeam than a whole hemis
phere of clouds and gloom.
Says the Utica Herald : The man
who thought anybody could inilk a
cow don’t think so any more. He
bought a cow yesterday, and lait eve
ning took a new tin pail afle' a raisin
box and started for the stable. He
revolved out of the stable through a
window in just three mi out*». At the
same time the new tin pail was heard
wandering among* the rafter, and the
raisin box came bounding out of the
door. The hired girl made a recon-
noisance in force, and reported that
the cow was standing on her horns, to
* speak, and wriggling her hind leg*

A man whom Dr. Chalmem engag

praying, and when one bov thrust a
pin into another he marched up lo the
aisle still praying, and cuffed that boy *

the situation, for the boys thought that
a man who could watch’ and pray like
that could not be put down.
