CxoexvncnowAi,—Tho Supreme Court of Ohio
has pronounced unconstitutional a law of that
Stale empowering oommnnities to levy taxes
for the construction of railroad*. The grounds
of the decision, which was unanimous, are, that
mob taxation is not for publio purposes, for
which alone taxes oan bo constitutionally levied,
and that tbo State Legislature is forbidden by
th* constitution to authorize any community to
asgige in ibis way in privalo enterprise, direct
ly or indirectly. Aa tha constitutional oonven,

this matter will receive their attention.

The West and the Seath.
Dispatches from Washington to the Western
papen aay that the Eeet is profoundly stirred
op by the great Western movement to open
cheap water communication with the Atlantic
through th* Bontheru States. They say that tha
Etatarn politicians see in th* adoption by the
West of the plain anggeationa of Nature and
Geography Rome d*-ep-Ul<3 political plot to be
come independent of Eastern dictation and
mastery. In fact, to achieve tor the West
political, eommetcial, manufacturing and finan
cial independence—to bring into practice!
operation that hackney'd poetical vaticination,
“Westward the Star of Empire takes its way,”
which has been in the months of Western
to amp ora tori for at least two generations, bnt
in actual fact, never! The East csya these
canal schemes mean, in practice, a firm po
litioal and commercial allienoc between the
West and the Sooth, and these movement* will
culminate in the disruption of old parties and
the inauguration of new aeelionai ware. Hence
the East had few representatives at SL Louis.
Bnt why should there be any aeetional war in
this mstter t Does not every geographical con
formation of the continent plainly indicate
these lines of communication ? and ia It not
equally to the advantage of the East that the
foroe of the people should no longer be waited
nod impaired by a vain struggle against Nature,
and inatead of dragging’'Ihe great agricultural
and mineral prodneta of these mighty sections
acres* tha mountains on dry land and through
etill lakes, frozen over half the year, the water
shed of the continent should be enlisted to fleet
them down, without effort or expense to the
ocean! Should not the East see that what is
saved by harmony with the foroea of Nature is
saved for increased activity in trade and man-
nfaclnrea from which she mast reap a large
share ?
There is, in point of fao‘, no opposition to
any aeolion in these great plans, bnt immense
good to all.
Bnt whether they arc consummated or not,
Eastern domination over this continent is now
practically at an end, and can be maintained
no longer. The East (let ns say In the interests
of hnmsnlty, at they tuppoted,) plunged the
continent into an Irreooncilablo moral and then
physical war for tho destruction of slavery.
Whoa that war ended in the aooompliahment of
its purpose, tboooly condition which rendered
Eastern supremacy a possible thing for any
length of time toat gone.
Slavery was a social and political “institu
tion" which Isolated the Sooth and remitted her
to tho position of a separate minority section,
having her own peculiar rights and interests to
secure by a policy iookiDg to a balance of power
between tbe Weit and the Eist. Her trade at-
filiations were with tbe West, bnt she con’d give
the controlling power to whichever seotion wonld
co-operate with her in the overshadowing inter
est of self-proteolion.
Bnt when slavery was gono, and when the
exasperations growing oat of its violont taking
eff shall have disappeared, there ia no Iong*r
sny special sectional intero.t to asperate tbe
great Scnth from her oonliguons section, the
great West. They stand in all respects with
entirely harmonica* interests. As the con
snmers of eaoh other's products their trade in-
torohangos increase In volamc every day, and
all the relations of the two great sections must
constantly became mare intimate and profits,
bie.
For a time, the heady and violent fanaticism
of the East and her more virulent hatred of the
Sonth led the Weit, in tbo system of malignant,
vindictive and repressive legislation which cul
minated in patting the Southern States under
the heels of thioves snd negroes, tint tom pi
ston has lived ont its extreme violence and will
bo followed by shame and repentance.
An entente eordiole between tha West and
South, which has never been known in the pre
vious history of those section*, will horesfter
exist and strengthen, and the Eist will bo pow
erless to prevent it
If she does not wish to snlTer from it, her
trne policy is to reoognize the fact, and not at
tempt to fight it. If she does, she will Bnrely
be whipped in the fight. Lst her now mako
amend* for her violent and proeeriptive oonrae
towards lbs Southern States, by a generous and
enlarged policy—looking to tbe general good
of the country, and find her recompense In the
universal improvement of trade all over tho
State*.
A School or Cookery.
The efforts of Londoners to raise up better
cooks by cstabliahing popular schools, for im
parting instruction in the culinary art are par-
allel'd, If not surpassed, by tho New York
public, which has reocntly witnessed tho inau
guration of a school for household service,
which is Intended to provide model servants
to whomsoever calls for them. Tho school is
formed only of volunteers, or those who enter
at the desire of their parents, and iho course
is not complete under seven months. The
principal considers n year little enough time
for ordinary proficiency, but it is impossible
to retain gitls sny longer as they are anxions
to be earning the higher wages which their
new-fonnd skill reoeives. At first they are
taught to make beds, sweep and dust in the
quickest, neatest way, which every housekeep
er knows is quito at variance with tho common
happy-go lncky style of Bridget’s perfor
mances. When they can make a bed look
like a frosted loaf-cake, snd can sweep
without raising clouds before the broom,
and knowhow to leave a room in shining order,
they learn how to wait on table and attend vis
itors. Each girl takes her tnrn in waiting on
the matron’s table snd answering the bell, learn
ing these duties in a quiet, punctilious way.
The lessons in cooking bread snd pastry-mak-
Ine are given by an experienced cook, the Rirls
taking their week* for practice in the kitchen
till they know how to do well what is reqnirea
in common families. They can make a good
aonp, broil a chop, serssn a stew, or dress poul
ts Deserts and coffee receive special atten
tion. The class is small as yet, bnt applications
for Instruction are fast pouring in, and it is ex-
neoted that this institntion will prove to be the
pioneer cf similar establishments throughout
the country.

OOV. WOOD sox, of anasotTEi,
was then called, by acclamation, to the atand,
and responded in a fervid and patriotic speech,
replete with noble sentiment* and kindly, feel
ing.
The great State he repreiented wanted no
seotioualiKm, no narrow snindtd legislation
against tbe interests of this nnfortnnsto portion
of tbe Union.
Equal rights and free trade wore the maxims
of his people. It had been proclaimed far and
wide that the 8l Louie Convention had beja
called to plot treason, snd to reorganize
axotbzb Bum*
against the United Stated government. This
wa* false. Tne objeot of that assemblage was
to build np and cement anew the sacred edifice
or tbe Union, by establishing an identity of in-
terests between its remotest section*, and link
ing them together by ties which should hereaf
ter prove indissoluble.

We have had occasion already to re'er to this

His rcmaik* bad tbe ring of tbe trne metal

is n source of regret that the position of the
writer was each that it wa* impossible for him
to gather sny connected and coherent statement
of the speaker’s argument. Col. Thomas is a
man of no common monld, and of all tbs dis
tinguishod visitors from abroad, none have
made a deeper and more lasting impression up
on the convention.

Fending tbe deoision of several important
qnestionB, the hour far tho a*sembling of the
Uaml convention having arrived, they were re
ferred to the exeentive committee for farther
solion hereafter, and the meeting adjourned.
AT TEX o'clock A. M.,
tho convention, retnforoed by the arrival of
many additional delegates, assembled again in
Ihe Cnpitol.
EIGHTXIX STATES
were represented, and mnoh enthusiasm pre
vailed.
The deliberations were prefaced by a fervent
prayer by Rev. Dr. Mean*.
Several resolutions were then offered by va
rions delegates, bat the chair decided that un
der the previous aetion of theoonventiOD, nnless
by unanimous oonsent, all of them must take
tho nsnal course and be referred to the Com-
mittee on BosineRR.
GOVERNOR SiCETU,
a member of that bodr, thtn pio3ent©d a mu-
Jority report, and asked that it might be read
and adopted. It was as follows:
MAJOBHV BXTOBT.
‘That the vast interests common to all sec
tions of the country, involved in the opening or
tinea of water oommnnioation between the At
lantic seaboard and the great basin of the Mis
sissippi, entitle the propoeed routes to the im
mediate and oarneat attention of ihe United
Sutes Government. The necessity for cheaper
transportation is vital and urgent, and the best
means of securing it, Isa question upon the
wise and speedy solntion of which, depend the
continued prosperity and contentment of the
country. In the West and South, this question
is of peculiar importance. Their interests are.
in a great measure, identical, being tho two
great producing sections. The benefiu of cheap
transportation to them, must bs felt by all other
sections in an almost equal degree. In the four
States of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and
Alabama, there is an annual deficiency of fifty
millions of bushels of grain, which most be sup
plied from tho West. This deficiency is in
creasing, owing to the gradual decrease of sn
available farm labor, and the rapid increase of
the non- producing population of those States.
When the deficiency in the other Southern
States, and the consequent high prioes for sub
sistence are taken into consideration, it will be
seen at once that no question is of such vital
moment to tbe South as cheap transportation.
‘ Since lSCC.the value of cotton (raw and man
ufactured) from the United States amounts to
over fifteen hundred millions of dollars. This ia
about CO por cent, of our total exporti in value.
Co'ton is indeed our only reliable snd remu
nerative article of export, and is the real basis
of the wealth of the whole country. The pres
ent high rates of freight prevent the exporta
tion of grain from tho United StateB almost en
tirely, although onr surplus is sufficient for the
wants of tho civilized world. They also compel
tho Southern States to employ a Urge portion
of their limited labor in the production of food
crops (to which their soil and climate are net
adapted) and to that extent deprive tha West of
a market. To iUnstrate: The average produc
tion of oornin the four States mentioned is ten
bushels per sera. To make np the deficiency
In the quantity now produced, it would be nec
essary to cultivate at least 5,000,000 of acres.
This acreage devoted to ootton would yield at
least one and a quarter million bales, worth, at
15 cents per pound, $125,000,000. Deduct
from this the valne of the oorn which the same
acreage would produoe, and we have $75,000.-
000 to represent tho amount of loe* suffered
annually by the Southern and Western farmer*,
from a lack of facilities for a cheap interchange
of prodnot*. .
“This direot loss to.greatly recreated by the
reflex operation of the causes under oonaldcra-
The high price of tood increases the cost of
the manufacture, as wall aa of tbe production of
ootton, and so of every other article we need.
While the Western farmer realize* bnt « pit
tance npon his teeming crops, every manufac
tured article which he u*6J come* to blmbar-
dened by onerous and oppressive tariffs. Cheap
transportation from the West wonld not only
cheapen food, bnt would, aa a oonseqnenoe, tho
cheapen tabor. This result wonld enable the
manufacturer to supply onr wants at greatly re
duced price*, and would enable him to oompete
successfully abroad as well as at home.
“Onr manufacture* wonld increase, onr ex
ports would be doubled, onr shipping interest*
revived, snd the balance of trade wonld be
largely in onr favor inatead of against ru aa it
n °“Tho*e State* watered by the Mtotoetoppi river
and it* tributaries are the granary of the Union,

cnaeion here. They are only mentioned to
show that a great and pressing necessity under

public interests.”
Then follows a description of the various
tinea of water communication, such aa the Ni
agara ship canal, the canal from the Hudson
river to Lake Champlain, the enlargement of
tho Erie canal, etc., elc.
Tbe report finally concludes with tbe red
tal of some of th* m »t salient advantage*
connected with the opening cf the Great
Western and Atiantic canal, which are »tated
to be as follows:
First—Cheap transportation. The cost of
transporting a ton of grain from Sr. Loci* to
Savannah by the new route wonld be $4 SS.
ooata by rail $14 40.
Beoond—Thia rente wonld bo open the whole
year, and to never rendered impracticable by
tee In winter or drought in summer.
Third—It wonld greatly increase the coasting
trade, giving employment in tha winter to tho
tonnage of the great lakes.
Fourth—The ronte passes through immense
forests of yellow pine, and would be able to

Three General Assemblies of different or
ganizations of Presbyterians in the United
States commenc'd last week—one at Balti
more, one at Little Reck, Arkansas, and a third
at Huntsville, Alabama. The B iltimoro San
of Monday has the following upon the action
• *u. a. n . ra i Acanmblv in that city :
PncPDSro FazfniTzaiAX Usicx.—The ad
dress on Saturday of tbe Rev. Dr. 13-tirJ, ut roe
Cumberland Presbyterians, whose General As
sembly is now in session at Huntsville, Ala., to
the General Assembly of tha Presbyterian
Oburctr in the United States, in session in Bal
timore, hearing a proposal for orgauio nnion
between the two bodies, and the appointment
by the latter of a coormittoo to confer with the
Assembly st HnntRville, looking to the consum
mation of that end, possess aa important bear
ing npon tbe fntnre of tbe Presbyterian Cbnrob.
Tha differences between these two bodies have
been slight, and as indicated in the remarks of
Dr. Biird, there is reason to hope that the
Southern Presbyterian Church, bb represented
in tho Assembly at Little Rick, Ark., whose
distinctive title is merely a matter of a prepo
sition—“The Presbyterian Chnrch of the Unit
ed States,” while the body ia session hero em
ploys the phrase “in the United States "—will,
ere' long, also beoome nnited with this body,
and that “ (here will be bnt one Presbyterian
Chnrch.” Tho differences now existing between
the Northern and tho Southern Presbyte
rians are such, it is belioved. os may be easily
aecommodatei So far as differences may have
grown ont of the asperities of the late civil
wsr, th-re is scarcely sny reason to doubt that
there is an abundance of trno Christian spirit
on both sides to enable them to agree now np
on burying the dead things of the past, and
uniting efforts, influence and meam in a com
mon canse. The proposal looking to concerted
action with the Southern Chnrch in the mis.
sionary work in Florida is a forcible thongh bnt
a solitary instance of the valne of general har
mony. Sooh a nnion on the part of this or any
other extensive and similarly divided organiza
tion can have only a good effect npon the
country as well as npon the denomination in
terested.
Civil Ill gilts Wo Go.
On Sunday afternoon last (says the E if aula
Times) on the arrival of the day passenger train
from Maoon at this point, in charge of conduc
tor Bass, Henry Sanders, colored, one of onr
connty commissioners, seated his wifo in the
car set apart for .the white people, to send her
to Clayton, and went ont again. In a few
minntes conductor Bass passed through tho
csr, and kindly informed the woman that she
was in the wrong car and invited her to take a
seat in the next car among those of her own
peoplo. Cheerfully and without a word of re
monstrance, she arose and started into tho car
designated by the conductor, when she and the
condnotor were met st the door by Sanders,
who demanded of Captain Bass “ to know why
he was moving that lady from her seat.” Cap
tain Bis* told him she was in the wrong car,
whereupon Sanders flared np and demanded
that she be permitted to remain where
she was; that he had paid for the seat and pnt
hto wife in it, and wanted her to stay there.
Captain Bass, with great patience and forbear
ance, told Sanders that his demand could not
and wonld not be complied with, and told the
woman to go on in the next car. As the con
ductor passed along back, a gentleman informs
ns that he saw Sanders, who was stilt standing
upon the platform cf the car for the whites,
quickly draw something from his pantaloons
pocket snd put it in his coat pocket, and stand
there with his haLd npon it, as if he intended
some mischief with a weapon. The gentle
man called the conductor’s attention to Sanders,
and accompanied him toward tbe negro, who re
tired aa the gentlemen approached. Sandera ex
presses hto determination to bring Euit against
the railroad oompany for damages under the
civil rights bill, and it is clear from his action
that it was hi* purpose to mike a case, or to get
np a row in the presence of the large crowd ol
his people, who were there to see their Bishop
leave.
Whenever the colored people do as Sander*
did on Sunday last, they create ill-feeling to
ward themselves and not nnfraquently get into
tronble. The ears for the colored people on the
Southwestern road are equally as neat and com
fortable as those for the whites, and whenever
a negro seeks to force himself npon the whites
•gainst their consent and contrary to the rnl£3
established by the company for the control of
the whites and blacks alike, he may be rare
Uut he will be resists!, and a* is sometimes :tc
ease, get his head panohed. It shows, too,
that the negro wants to get np a row, by seek
ing that which he knows will be offensive to tbe
whites, snd we are one of those who think that
when a man wants a row and will have nothing
else, he ought to be accommodated, and to his
heart’s content.
XitrLcvEifTr of Galtestox Hieeob.—The
ides of improving Galveston h.lrbcr is tf.king
definite shape. A bill has been introduced into
tbe Legislature, authorizing the city to issue,
from time to time, its bonds to the total of five
hundred thousand dollars. One hundred and
eight thousand dollar* have already been ex
pended, and all obstructions between the outer
bar and the city have been removed. This has
been done without a cent of tax npon tbe citi
zens. What is known in Galveston aa the
wharf revenue paid it ati. Having accom
plished so much, Galveston thinks it is entitled
to s little government aid, even tn addition to
tha five hundred thousand for which provision
hi* been made.

Mail Robbzry —Decotzet am> Abbest of
THE 1UBBER.—A min named Wiu. Archer was
arrested s::d brought to thi* city yesterday,
charged with the robbery of tho mail between
Macon and Brunawiok. The circumstanoes, as
we learned them, are as follows: Wm. Archer
to the route agent between Brunswick and Ma
con. A registered letter from Brunswlok to
Savannah was placed in his hands. Tte letter
contained money amounting to $300. The Post-
master at Brunswick placed this letter in the
hands of Archer to tnrn over to tbe rente agent
of the Atlantia and Golf read at Jessnp. Archer
failed to tnrn over the letter, which of course
did not oome to hand st its destination, Sevan
nah. Tnis was on or about the 16th of April.
Archer knowing that soma tronble was in store
for him, left the ronte immediately and turned
npin Washington, wherehis wife resides. There
was no possibility of observing the robbery ap
parently, bnt the employes on the railroad watch
ed, and finally saw Archer in the act of open
ing letters. This Information wss sent to Wash
ington, epd the Da. awary stops were taken to
secure his arrest, which Was eff acted in Wash
ington. He was immediately seat here and ar
rived on Sunday morning. He wss taken be
fore Commissioner A. W. Stone yesterday, snd
waived examination. In default of $5,000 bail
he was committed to jail. He bad no counsel.

Despite the general dullness of trade in the

freight train* on that road have yet been dis
continued. Yeaterday morning eighty fnll cars
of freight were dispitched for Atlanta nod be-
yond, and at tuiil day a full train of freigbts
from New York for Macon. This record of bus
iness is annsnal at this season of the year for

At two o'clock on Thursday ovening last a

five and a half r v. Tbe wind came from tho
north and tbe storm wss tbe most terrific tbst I

of a pigeon’s egg and fell thick and fast. Very
soon thereafter they increased to tbo size of

will bave to be laken eff and a new one placed
on. One hundred and fifty panes of glass were
broken ont on tbe north side of Lamar & King’s
cotton factory, and iho roof of the building
over tbe boiler completely riddled. Duck*,
geese and pigs were killed, and a man at the
factory wss struck with a stone, from tho effects
ot which he is now cocficed to bis room. Tho
aversge weight of the hail b'.oeos that fell was
about eight onnoss. The shape of these stones

Let ns Revive a Lost Art.
From the Montgomery Journal.]
The capital of a oonntry Is made np of petty
snma saved week by week anl nnited in a mass
for the common good. It not only makes
money, bnt elevates the moral tone of society,
by creating thrift, economy and good habits
among the people. The amennt of savings in
several manufacturing towns in New England is
almost astounding. Ia fact, this one of the
greatest benefits of mannfactnres. Tho ope
ratives save their surplus earning* for n rainy
day. They «e deposited ia trusty savings
banks, and thus, while the operative accnmn-
lates by the amount of interest that is allowed,
his capital affords tha very means by which
perhaps the manufactory in whioh he is em
ployed is enabled to ran successfully. Nat only
does the operative save his earning] and accn-
mnlate interest, bnt those earning* are pnt
out to circulate again at interest, and tbns the
merchant, banker, manufacturer, agriculturist,
and all other classes, become participants in tho
general benefit. Bat where there is no
steady and remunerative labor for the wo
men, girl* and boye, in any community
where all the work is done by a few men—
there is Uttlo thrift, and thore can be no gen
eral prosperity. Of course there are few oper
atives in onr midst who pnt out their small
snms of money at interest. There arejfew snch
places to bo found exactly adapted to their
wants. There should be many such in our
midst. Oar farmers and planters, instoad of
ever being on tbe borrow, shonld have money
to spare for at least several months In the year.
The mechanic snd artisan always ha3 a few dol
lars to spare if he be sober and industrious
So too, tho merchant, whether of large or small
grade. Instoad of fruitless expenditures, then,
let us encourage all our working people to put
out their money at interest and become rioh.
The sound and safe saving* bank affords the
means to tho working classes. Let them pon
der on these table*, and see how easy is the
road, and be encouraged to make a start:
A deposit of one dollar per week will, at seven
per cent, interest, produoe the following result s
In 5 years $ 350 80
In 10 years 805 G5
In 15 yeara 1,455 90
In 20 years 2 807 50
Tn 25 years 4,989 84
Amount deposited in 30 years—$52
eech year. 1,600 00
Accumulation interest on same 3,429 84
A desposit of five dollars per week will, at
seven per cent, interest, prodnoe the following
reanit:
In 5 years $ 1,754 10
In 10 years 4,111 GO
In 15 years 7,279 50
In 20 years 11,537 23
Amount deposited in 20 years 5,200 00
Accumulation of interest <5,337 28
One hnndred dollar) stock, compounded at
ten per cent every six months for 21 years will
be $5,455 00.
Saving and pntting small snms ont at interest
is a lost art. Let ns restore it, to bless onr
State and people.

described it and extenils for forty miles or more
in both directions, i. e. to the northeast and
tho southwest. And the richness of the ore is
such that if the moun tain could be stripped of
it all and then be reeled with the iron it wonld
yield, Red Mountain wonld sotree lose six feet
from its present height. A solid piste of pig
iron 8S0 yards wide, fifty miles long and two

Paris, May 21.—The Assembly has com
pleted its organization by tho eleotion of
Vioe Presidents. There wsb an obstinate con
test over the fonrlh Vice President, for which
office Martel, an ovawed supporter of Thiers,
was nominated by the left. Two ballots were
taken without result. On the third ballot Mar
tel was elected by a majority of seven. Al
though elose, the vote is a decided reverse of
ibo powerful Conservative combination in the
a teat question.
It is now believed Thiers will bave a majority
of 30 in the vote on the interpolation, notwith
standing the coalition of Bonaparliats, Legiti
mists and Orleani-ds members against him.
Both sides are making efforts to bring ont all
their strength, and pressiog summons will be
sent to all absent members to oome to Versailles.
Among the speakers will be Thiers, Perrier,

—An Extraordinary scene.
Special dispatch to the Conrier Journal.]
Cnicioo, May 18.
A moat erotiing snd highly dramatio scene
occnrred at Trinity Episoopal chnrch in this oity
to-day. The Sunday Time* published one of
its series of “ Walks Among the Churches,” in
which it criticised the Rev. Edward Sullivan,
pastor, and “ wroto up ” several members of
his ooDgregation. A Times reporter went to
morning service to report the sermon of Mr.
Sullivan, and before he began to preach the fol
lowing dialogue occnrred, both pastor and re
porter speaking in tones andible to tho entire
ooDgregation:
Rector—“Before I begin to preach I desire
to sak if the gentleman who sits before me tak
ing notes represents the Times?”
Reporter—“I do, sir.”
Rector—“Then I request yon to desist from
reporting my sermon.”
Reporter—“I cannot conscientiously comply
with your request. I have a duty to perform,
and muat attend to it.”
The rector stated to the congregation that he
had not read the article, bnt from tho scurrilous
nature of tho series of its kind whioh preceded
it, bo presumed it waa an indecent attack npon
the congregation, and therefore he took this
coarse. He then began hia service again, the
reporter meanwhile taking notes. He again
cea?od preaching, and, addressing the reporter,
said, “I await for Jon to desist.”
Reporter—“I can not do so while I am here.
I shall continue to perform my duty, and X will
only loave hero when I am compelled to do so.”
Rector—“Then Imust insist npon your with
drawal.”
Reporter—“If yon insist npon it I must
leave,” and so the reporter took his things and
left; the clergyman, however, assured the re
porter that he had no individual feeling against
him, bnt only spoke to him in hia official
capacity aa representative of tho Times.
The affair creates much excitement, and the
Times enjoys tbe sensation, while thoae who
are the subject of the Times’ criticisms are suf
fering, knowing that many will now read the
article who would not have noticed it otherwise. r a lt C( , v n AW Permian Ilawlr IWlF.
