The General Appropriation Kill which passed tbs
House a day or two ago, was taken up end the
greater portion of the morning consumed iu
amending it and discussing it* provisions.
Mr. Moore „f Lincoln moved to reduce the daily
oom|ioasatiou of the onrotliug and engrossiug
clerk* from six to five dollar*. Thereupon a gene
ral discussion of the subject of clerks, their com
pensation and their number followed, and the ex
travagance which haa heretofore prevailed in that
branch of the public service was very freely com
mented on. It was acknowledged by all, that tlio
present Secretary bad employed no more clerks
than were necessary, mid Mr. Moore of Lineoiu
was the only olio who seemed inclined to reduce
their compensation. Messrs. McMillan, Cone of
Greene, l.itmlruiu, Peeples, l'«pe, Allrod and Long
opposed the motion, and the Senate refused to
agree to IL The llill passed and was sent to tlio
House for its concurrence iu the Senate's amend
ment*.
The Senate then took up the Hill to amend the
act of 1853, iu relation to the Trustees of Glynn
County Academy. The old Board of Trustees are
required to turn over the pro|ierty and funds to
the new Hoard, and the latter are required to use
tlio funds fur the purpose of educating the pour
children throughout the county.
Quite a lengthy and (no doubt to the parties)
interesting debut# ensued, in which Messrs. Long
and Miller spoke in favor of the Hill .and Messrs.
Spalding and Hillups against it; at the end of
which the Hill passed.
There was u<.thing else of general interest douo
‘•a the Senate during the day.

ixoio.x.—A despatch from Washington, dated 1.3th,
says that a can-is* of the Democratic members of
tho Senate had been held that day, in which Sena
tor Iverson of this State introduced, as the uhima-
turn of the South, the resolutions passed by the late
Democratic meeting at Millcdgcville. We judge
they proved a bomb thrown into the camp, as the
d ‘patch informs us that a very warm discussion
followed their presentation. The meeting refused
to take any decided action on them, and referred
them to a committee, consisting of Messrs. Iversou, I
Cus, of Michigan. Bayard, of Delaware, and Kmk,
of Texas, with instructions to report at a future day.
The Speakership.
Tho country is getting somewhat restless under
the interruption of the business of the nation bv
tho failure to elect a Speaker for the House <>f Re
presentatives. Rather tbau see a frcc-soil disor- I
gauiser in the chair, we confess wo hail rather sec
no organisation ni all. Hut is the election of a
■Speaker a necessary preliminary to the commrnce-
ment of the business of Congress, It has not al
ways been so regarde 1. A case in point occurred
in 1839, when Mr. Garland, the Clerk, refused to
accept the credentials of the members from New
Jersey when they were presented with the liroad
seal of the State attached. Wrangling and confu
sion reigned for a immbcr of days ; and the House
was finally organised on n motion that Mr. Adams
of Massachusetts I*.' considered Speaker until a re
gular election could be had. TUr ltestou Couri.r
gives the following account of the matter.
•• John Quincy Adams was then a member of the
House of llcprescutu lives. lie remained ipiietly I
at iiis seat, and listened to the (lending turmoil
with what patience be could, and said nothing. At
last, however, the patience of the old man whs ex
hausted, and, rising hastily from his chair, he
poured forth a strain "f burning, withering elo
quence, which reached every man's heart. He ap
pealed to the representatives present to say if they
were prepared to submit to such a state of things ?
if ihey were willing to submit to the dictation and
control of a mere Olerk—a daily stipendiary of Con
gress »
•• The old man had scarcely taken his seat before
Ibdiert Barnwell Rl.ctt of South Carolina, aro.e.
and moved that ‘ John Quincy Adams of Ma>-ii-
ehusetts, lie elected Speaker till a regular Speaker
is elected." This motion was nearly iinaniniou-ly
adopted, and the H-'U-e of that day was organ!-
xed. and we may hope that some similar movement
may be made to-day."
Mortality or the United States.—From the
tie rtality records, says the New York Herald, we
learn that the total deaths during the twelve
months previous to 1st June, lV,o, numb,-red
323,fi23, of whom 2ffi,601 were white-. This i* in
round figures, nearly one and four-tcn:h* per cent
on the total population, tho lowest mortality, we
venture to say, tbnt has ever l>cen recorded in any

Road is to bo returned to the Ftate in as good eon-

so as to require the Governor to take bonds from
the contractors for the building, for the completion
of the same according to the (dan of the commis

out of the appropriation, until said bonds slial

Editor* .XViiuiiiniA llrpublitan :—
1 have read in your Issue of this morning, tho
proeoudiugs of a meeting of citizens residing in the
vicinity of No. 8 Central Road. Tho resolution*
passed at that meeting are in a spirit of bitteruos*
—oiinugh of itself to condemn the proceedings, I
pass by the sweeping denunciation of tlio whole—
President, Directors and officers of tlio Company,—
because •* they burr proved them*elv*e eitherfrom «
wo at of liMntj or eujmcity, to utterly reynrdltt* of

Ur," with tho singlo remark for tho present, that
tho Prosidout aud Directors, who aro •• tho ndmiu-
iatrntion," aro content to bojudgod by tho oxltibits
of their maungomout which they have, annually,
mado public. But tho authors of tho resolutions,
pa.-sod unoniMoiiWy, havo mado public representa
tions which nrc unfair and erroneous, uiid thus im
posed on me tlio duty of replying publicly to their
action. The roply shall he as brief as possible.
Their first statement is—that the fare now charg
ed for passage is almost prohibitory—that their
families are well nigh excluded.
Prior to 1st August, 1844, tho faro for passage
was 4 eeuts or over per mile, on all the Roads ill
o|>oratioii. At that tiiuothis company redueod tho
furo to 3 cents, anil tho other roads very soon cauto
down to the same figure. AH tlio other roads, a
year or more ago, established their rates, some at 4
cents, sotuo at 5 ccuts, and some between 3 and 4
rents. This Company fairly tried 3 cents per rnilo
awhile longer. Ou tbo 1st day of April last, tho
furo of travel was placed at 4 cent* |>er mile—on
the way—for while persona, and 2 eeuts per mile
for colored persons—an increase of 25 per centum
ou fare of whites, and a dtcreute of one fifth on
faro of colored persons. The whole sum roooived
for passage ou tho Ceutral Railroad for tho year
ending 1st December, 1854, was $174,000. This
was earned by two daily truins and one daily ex
tra lietwcen Milieu and Savannah. Tlio sum is
about one *\xth of the whole earnings of the year.—
Thu sum received from passengers is wholly inad
equate to tho expense incurred to carry them. If
the stock-holders depended on passage money for
their profits they would liecome bankrupt. It was
the duly of the President and Director* to make, if
possible, tho f:fre* of travel pay something like a
fair return for the great expense incurred in run
ning our passenger lines. The price of 3 rents
per mile, chiefly advocated by tho writer, was found
to ho inadequate, mol hence ho was among tlio firsj
to advocate the change to I cents. Under the .3
ceut system the road earning* went from (1812-’I3)

appear.- that no returns were made from those
counties at the la.-t census, and the hill provides
that John Sheffield of Camden, ll .raec Harris of

their respective counties.
The hill front the ILiuse explaining the act of j

of which, ax shown abovo, tho passage mon
ey did not exceed a sixth. Was it nut time
to soo if 111" passago money could ho in-
•wre.T-cd ’ It tho furo of 4 cent* per mile “almost
prohibitory?” Are the families of the gentleman
,.f Scrivcu indeed " well-nigh excluded?" Were it
rue that the fares aro “ almost prohibitory," tho
■turnings from passengers, would have fallen off to
•almost” nothing. Tho increase in passage
iioiicv for the years 1854-5 ha* been nine thousand
lollnr*—total passage money of Contra! Railroad
$182,000—on total earnings of over a million and
■x quarter. The least acquaintance vvitlt railroad
management would satisfy any reasonable man
that the passage receipts of this Road are entirely
inadequate, even now, to the great expense of
maintaining the passenger line*. It is a common
remark that if you lower tho rate of passage on n
Railroad you increase tho number of passengers
mid thereby the reeeipt*. It is true that the num
ber of passengers may be increased, but it is un
error to say that, consequently, your profits will
increase, lit the New England States, with a
den.-e population and where passago was the chief
business, they have tried and abandoned the idea
of very low fares. Some roads in the Union have
been, by ehnrler, restricted—one great road to 2
cents (>cr mile! It remains to bo seen when that
great road will pay any thing to the stockholders.
Is the first resolution of the meeting in Scrivou
fairly answered ? Let the stockholders and the
public to whom an appeal has been made—bo
the Judges. •
2. The second charge ia deemed worthy of en
tire repetition, with a few words in capitals. Here
J. ilio,'.tty policy, amounting in thousands of
in IniH'C* to meanness; of charging freight on all
'.rlieles, however small or insignificant, which can
po.-ihly lie excluded from the class of /.«,/,/«<,r,
•trietlv -o speaking, lull WHICH l’ASSK.NGKRiS
OF3 li.N I.IKi; TO TAKE WITH THEM, is an
noying, and tends to increase tho already exorbi
tant expense in passing over the Rond.
The baggage, proper, of passenger# on tho Cen
tral Road has not licen restricted. If n limn
travels with a trunk, no nmth r (a* happened in
one instance from the neighborhood of No. fi.) if it
contain dressed chicken* for market, lie passes with
out a word. 8o if a person travels with an ordi
nary trunk orMirpct bag, or valise, if lie puts iu it
th"-e "insignificant little thing* which passenger*
often like to take with them" lie also, passes with
out a word. But if a passenger seek* to carry
hundlca ofpurehnted good*, no matter how small,
in the face of the rule published from the beginning
of t!m road, that every single package, must pay ni
least 25 cents, (which has happened iu •'thoutnud
of instances",) wo have never *nid thnt it was petty
•‘meanness,” hut have simply made the passenger
pay freight Why should the company carry mer
chandise as Imggagc for nothing? The company
‘•likes, to treat *t«rc goods as store goods and not
as baggage. It think* it just and right to do so.
3. The third charge is that the price* for trans
porting timber arc of a prohibitory character, and
that tho transportation is accompanied liy vexa
tious delay.
With a view to accommodate tho lumber pro
ducers, the company established the following plan :
To- Freighter of l.iuuliei. Timber, Wood, .'laves . r
sheep without ever ruititoj the question ot their lia
bility, uxeteising due care, to pay lor the union* -
Up to a liltlu over a year ago it paid also for hor-
so# and mules, killed by the trains. Tbe payments
uuiiually for slock killed i» about $4000. A regular
return of stock killed is made by every stutiou over
suer with an npprnisctuout of full market value in
his judgment. Tl,u Company never, in a single
instance, refused to puy for cattle, hogs,and shoup.
It has, in some instances, disputed lliu price cliur-
C l by tlio owner. Until the last session of the
gisiaturu all.,wing tlio Cuuipauy to bo sued iu
every county, touched by the road, there never was
a suit against the Company lor a cow, or a hog, or
a sheep that 1 can recollect of. Siyeu that law, in
several instam-cs, without a word to the Company,
suit Inis been instituted for cattle and bog* kill 'd —
in otto instance fur a pig, of the value of otto dollar,
and the Company in every instance has paid tile
claim, with cost* maliciously put ou u Company
willing to pay. Only iu one couuty on the line of
Road have sm h suits been instituted. Never did a
oituun of 81-rivcn sue the Company for killing a
cow or u lo.g s|, L .„p. One suit uuly has been
instituted in Scrivcu (now pending) ter killing*
hurt,. One suit j, pending iu Chatham ter a cow,
because of the price demanded, and the utloruey of
tho company rvi-eivad instructions not to raise any
other question thint that of value. 1 have a righ
to demand of the citizens of Serivrn to produce or
show 11 single suit hy a citizen of Scrivou agaiust
the Company for a cow, or a hog or sheep.
The Company made public everywhere on tho
line, the following iu relation to Horses and Mule*.

will obtain n decision of the Supreme Court. If
that tribunal shall say the company is liable for
killing Hors-* or Mules where duo caution is oh-
served, I will see that every Horse or Mule killed
is paid for without a “ quibble.” 1 ask of tho
gentlemen of tlio meeting, tlio proof of any petty
or other quibble ever raised or put forth at tills
company’* instance to n void a just claim.
I have answered all tho charges of the citizens of
Scrivcn. Tlicv have been severe aud hitter upon
mo. I have a’word to say to them, but it shall bo
said without temper.
They say the management of the Road is getting
to lie such, that it might a* well not exist, so far as
they aro concerned. I beg leave to tell them, with
due respeef, that, while I shall ever deal a* justly
toward* my fellow citizens of Seriven, ns I would
towards the people of my own county, a* far a* in
me lies. I feel that the I'entralRail Road was not
designed by its projector*, especially for their ben
efit. Tlicv' themselves say tho Road was designed
" for the gi o.| of the .Stockholders, and of tlio pub.
lie.” They call on those Stockholders and tlio
citizens of’Savannah, to relieve themselves and the
people of Seriv en. from the administration oftho.-o
who have proved themselves, either from a want of
honesty or capacity, utterly regardless of their
trust. ' This is strong language and needs to bo
answered for. 'The Stockholder* will convene ou
Tuesday next. The head of the "administration”
which has been iho same from the year 1842 to lira
present time, will be there ill person, and, albeit, it
may be somewhat humiliating to answer charges
ngaiii-t hi-li-tie'iy of purpose or his capacity to
m:uiii-'c the affairs "f the Kail Road Cmuyaiiy,
vvln.'c Stucklc.ider* havo always treated him so
kindly and nobly, ns to insure his everlastiug
gratitude, lie will be |>rcpared to meet the citizen*
of Scrivcn. one or all of them, who unanimously
passed the e lv-..lutioIis.
Vito right, .f any one who feels hint self aggrieved
by (he policy of the Company to resist "to the lout
te-fol wiVciMiiy." will never bo questioned liy tuc.
The people ofthi* city expended near four millions
of dollars to establish the Central Rond upon tlio
faith of the charter, which provides " That the
said railroad mid the nppcrtiiiiniicc.s of the same
shall not lie subjected to be taxed higher than a
half of one per centrum upon it* net annual in
come." If the " last legal extremity" mean* a
county tax on tho Road “ so far at least as tlio
county of Seriven is concerned." it lias very little

Doisrrt'L. - Tbe following curious piece of In
formation it from a Berlin letter in the J,ondon
Time*:
"The Government of the United .State* of Amer

nish house, for de|iv#yy next spring, of bullet-proof

It has now on the rnml n freight locomotive
engine of first class, running cimstnntly with
timber. Thu machine, with twelve cars, an engine-
man, two fireman and a conductor, is furnishsd to
parties applying in turn ut $75.00 per day of 10
working hours, or th" 12 ears without theengine nt
25 dollars a day. Timlier at this rate, i* the arti
cle at lowest rote of tritnsportrtion. Large quanti
ties of timber are enrried, at this season, nt a loss
to tlio conipnuy. 8«mo months ago, before thq
heavy liusitnsi of the season began, a special mes
sage was sent along the line, that the company de-
sirod to carry off nil the timber on the road. The
producer* would not send it down then, and com
plain now at tiie least delay. It is not the wish of
the company to prohibit tbe trade in timber—this
Port benefit* by Iho trade, though tho company
makes no profit by it.
The fourth charge is, thnt no refuse to carrytheir
wood, when by the carringo thereof many leu* of
thousand* of dollars might lie saved to Iho inhabi
tant* of Savannah, and a largo revenue to the
stockholder# Iw made.
The same arrangement is made for wood, that is
made for timlier, and the same remarks apply. Tlia
company actually enrrie* considerable quantities
of wood: but wood carried at this period of the
year, would decrease the revenue of ihe company.
Hlill tho company carries wood whenever it can do
6. The fifth charge is, e rcfusalto pay for stock
killed, unless, in many instauce*, compelled by lutr,
nnd then that Ihe e.nnpaiiy avail themselves of I
legal quibbles to get clear.
"Murk how a plain sale” will put this charge
down.

it. performed. The Hcv. S. S. Bcnm-
ordained a clergyman of the United
Churches oi Knglandland Ireland, and it appeared
ihui on the 27th "f November, 18.31, being then in
holy order-, he went to the house of Anne Lyons,
iu the city of fork,and there perfortnod a.ocrcmony
of marriage between himself and Isabella Fraser.
The special verdict dcseri'icd the mauiicr in which
the ceremony look (dace, nnd the general form of
solemnization vva. that set uut in the Book of Com
mon Prayer of the United Churches of England
and Ireland. Mr. Hcnmish then declaring that lie
took thv said Isabella Fraser to lie hi. wedded wife,
she taking him M 1* her wedded husband. The
wedding ring was then placed upon her finger,
nnd thu blc'-ing was pronounced. Judge Crump
ton delivered judgment in favor of tho validity
of the marriage.
Daniel Webster's Marriage.—Tho manner
of Daniel Webster's engagement to Miss Fletcher,
is tints pleasantly discovered by n-letter writer:
•• He wa. then a young lawyer iu Portsmouth,
N. II. At one of his visits to Miss Grace Fled her
ho hnd, probably with a view of utility nnd enjoy,
ment, been holding skeins of silk thread for her,
when suddenly Iu* stooped, saying, ' Grace, we
have thus been engaged iu untying knots; let us
see if wo can tic a knot, one i»f which will not un
tie for a life-time,’ He then took n (deco of tape,
and. alter beginning a knot of n peculiar kind,
gave it to her t» complete. This was the ccrcnto.
liy nnd ratification of their engagement. And now
in the little box marked by him with the words
• Precious Documents,’ containing the letters of his
early court-hip. this unique memorial is still t" ho
found—the knot never untied.’’
iMt’oitTANT to Packer* asii Exioiitehs.—Tho
French Academy of .Sciences I1.14111 ade a report on
thu nutritive qualities of lliu salted meat, exported
from thu United State* and Buenos Ayrus.in which
a considerablo trade was some month’* since done
in France. It appears from the report of the chem
ist appointed by the Academy to analyse them that
the meats of this country contain a much larger
proportion of nutritive dements than those of
France, but.owing to the manner in which they
are salted, they lose their samry essence, nnd are
consequentQ not relished l y consumer*. Itissug-
g' .-te-1 that '.-onto othesstnode of curing should lie
11 1-pled, nnd nil opinion i« expressed in the report
thnt if this e. old lie effected under favorable con
dition* American ment* would come into very
'sful competition with those of
