Public Meeting Yesterday.
The adjourned meeting, to receive the report of
the Corfu) It tee of Thirteen, was held yesterday af
ternoon at the City Hall. It was numerously at
tended, as considerable interest was felt, for and
against, the city subscription to the stock of the
Savannah Valley Railroad. We publish in other
columns the report of the proceedings.
Interesting addresses were delivered by Prof. I.

Letter of Mr. C'aruthers, of Missouri.
W e have, from day to day, delayed, from want
of space, the publication of this able exposition of
political affairs and the state of parties, it is a
document, however, that will keep, and our readers
shall have an opportunity of seeing it in our col
umns when the press of other matter will permit.
Mr. Caruthkks is a Whig —an old line Whig—but
he cannot, on account of old antagonisms to the
Democratic party, join the Know Nothings and their
Freesoil allies. He has felt that patriotism and
duty required him to co-operate in the present
juncture of affairs, as developed at Washington
city, with the Democratic party.
In giving his reasons he presents an exposition
destined to produce a powerful influence upon the
Whigs of the .South.
What W ould Satisf y Them i
The Nashville Gazette very pointedly says:
"The Pierce organs denounce the American
Convention for repealing the 12th section. When
the lath section was adopted, they denounced it as
non-committal and worthless. They were opposed
to its adoption, and now they are horrified at its re
peal. They have but one article in their creed, and
that is to object to every thing that the American
party proposes.”
The .Savannah Republican, in copying the above,
says:
“ The Americans have not only repealed the 12th
section, but have absolutely substituted for it theit
own doctrine of non-intervention, and yet these
pseudo-patriots but howl the louder.”
The Nashville Gazette does not state why the
‘‘l2tli section” was repealed—nor why it was that
the southern members temporarily withdrew when
the old platform was nullified. We will supply
the omission by using the language of Mr. Boris—
that section “me not been, and cannot be ratified bj
any one ]• 'ret: State in the Union.”
Bui perhaps Mr. Butts’opinion will not be suf
ficient. Then here follows what Mr. Boteler, of
Va., a member of the last Philadelphia Know
Nothing Convention said, in his place in the Con
vention :
" He had c ine here expecting to find national
men, and he had heard professions of peace and
harmony; but lie was satisfied, from the speeches
made tins afternoon, that the American party of tin
A. >rth wax com/xsd of A’, ditionisti. [Cries of
“No ! No!” and much excitement.] lie was satis
fied ol'the fact. He could hope for no union w ith
men holding such sentiments; he considered the
party a failure in a national way, and he moved
that the Convention do now adjourn, sine die.”
The Savannah Republican says the American
parly “ repealed the 12th section.” Indeed!
What portion of the party? Why was it done:
Could the southern members of the party prevent
it? Did they not try? And when they failed,
what did they do? Why, they “gloried in their
shame."
Lassoed. —The new Know Nothing Platform in
its 13th article draws up a bill of indictment
against “the reckless and unwise policy of the pro
mt administration” as “shown in granting to uu
naturaUzed foreigners the right to suffrage in Kan
sas and Nebraska." This part of the Kansas act
has boon a standing theme for the patriotic denun
ciations of the Know Nothing orators and papers '
\\ e may as well lasso them now as at any other
time. Here is the clause in the Kansas act:
Pr-rided, That the right of suffrage and of hold
ing office shall be exercised only by citizens of the
l mted States above the age of t wen tv-one tears,
and those above that age who shall have declare.,
on oath their intention to support the Constitution
of the l mted States ami the provisions of ifiis act
Now this clause is copied letter for letter, comma
for comma, w ord for word, from the act of Con
gress establishing the Territory of Washington,
"approved March -*,rd, Is;,:.;," by Millard Fillmore.
Thin Mr. F. was in favor of letting “unnaturalized
foreigners” vote then - Whigs and Democrats wort
so also, for the bill excited no opposition, and was
passed as a matter of course. In condeming the
Kansas act Ibr this clause the Know Nothing
Council at the same time passed sentence on Mr.
Fillmore. —HuntsvilleDemocrat, March 12.
Zdf r The anti-Nebraska caucus, which met in
\\ asiiington City on the 11th inst., after listening
to several speeches, in which they declared that
the issue in the next Presidential election should
be. “freedom in the Territories,” they adjourned
until Tuesday next.

The number of bales of cotton carried over the

s;x thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, for

The Know Nothing candidate for sheriff (once a

These are or were Know Nothing strong holds.
The Selma Sent hoi, the most rabid Know Noth
ing paper in the State, is perfectly dumfounded by
the nominations at Philadelphia. It swallows the
“Verbiage Platform,” but can’t gasp out a word
for the nominations. But its opinion may be in
ferred from the incidental remark in an article on
another subject. “The infamous and murderous
t üba proclamation of Fillmore.” Harsh words,
Mr. Sentinel, to use towards yatr file leader!

Diplomatic Difficiu.tv.—lnformation was re
ceived by the last steamer from Europe, of a mis
understanding between Col. Jxcxson, our Minister
Resident at Vienna, and the Austrian Government.
A correspondent says:
“ The misunderstanding has been caused by the
arrest and imprisonment of an American citizen
named Pqe-ar, who after seven months close con
finement, during which he was not permitted tocom
munieate in any way with even his minister or con
sul, was tried on the 31 st of March, 1854, by a secret
and unknown tribunal, convicted of treason, and
sentenced to ten years labor in irons in the trench
es at Therisienstadt in Bohemia. Mr. Jackson, on
the 4th of February demanded a properly certified
copy of the testimony said to have been used in
the conviction of Spears, and informed Count Buol
in his note that unless lie received an affirmative
reply within four weeks, he should, at the expira
tion of that time, withdraw front a court where he
could no longer remain with honor to his coun
try or advantage to its citizens. As there is no
probability that the desired answer will be forth
coming, or that any testimony’ reallv existed
against the man, Mr. Jackson inav be expected to
leave V ienna shortly after you receive this.”

To the Editor es the C/mtitutionaliet:
“ Moss.” presents his compliments to the milita
ry gentlemen forming “grand column of attack,”
and requests that they keep their spoons out of his
dish. “Mose” glories in the military, and has not
attempted to intervene against them, but desires a
taste of the falling manna, and has turned his dish
up the right way to catch it. Now, gentlemen,
you have got your £2OO a year, open columns,
change front to rear, and let us have a taste.
“Mose" did not oppose the appropriation to you,
anil you should not oppose it to him. “Fair play
is a jewel." Mose.
To the Elitor of the. Constitutionalist:
The last account (1555) published by the Com
mittee of Accounts, shows that the Canal tax for
the present year was estimated at £13,500, this, at
a half per cent, would show the estimated value
of real estate, in Augusta, to be £2,700,000. By
the same paper, the general tax was estimated
at about £37,317.62, which, at one per cent, indi
cates an estimated value of £3,731,762. The dif
ference £1,031,762, would be the estimated value of
all other taxable property.
Now if figures are facts, and facts are stubborn
things, I have produced an array which must be
equal to a battery of bombs, in fighting the “main
battle.” Thus, the debt of the city is £400,000
and she has available property to the amount of
£3,000,000 !!! I presume that it will not be claimed
that the individual "stockholders” in this copora
tion are not liable for its debts.
Ihe £2,700,000 of real estate is owned bv about
six hundred and seveutv-two “stockholders.” Now,
if they had their exclusive sanctums” and each
£IOO had one vote, then these six hundred and se
venty-two iudviduals would wield an aggregate
vote of twenty-seven thousand. Under such cir
cumstances, considered by Real Estate as nothing
more or less than just, what would become of the
“outsiders?” The answer is obvious, they would
throng the railroad depots not to bay Augusta, but
to fly man it.
J o say the least,it appears to me a little curious that
any one professing to be sensitive about the delicate
principle of city credit, should take so much pains
to break it down, not only by underrating the abil
ity of the city to meet any reasonable engagement
it may make, but by udvocaliugu principle which
is nearly obsolete. The power of money is ad
mitted, but that the owners of real estate should
claim the power to control and make all other in
terests subservient to their views is at the present
time ridiculous. The greatest outward demonstra
tion of the liberty of England is, that the Commons
have the privilege of voting the supply of money
to the government. And in this country the same
principle prevails; the object in both is to secure
the poor against the oppression which experience
has taught them would be exercised by the rich.
in reference to the account published by the
Committee, it is to be remarked that that for the
present year is only an estimate, and is beaded
probable, Ac., and I’doubt very much if Re al Es
tate, even with the books before him, could have
come much nearer than £15,000, in making up the
£131,301.fi4, estimated for the year. Trie estimate
itself does not prove anything, and Real Estate is
in the same position—he says, “ the reed receipts
from all sources does not cover the expenditures.”
Tiiis may lie because tiie receipts, as estimated,
nave not been realize/, or it may be that ihev were,
md the expenditure exceeded the estimate!
In either case I do not see any ground to support
die intimation that from extravagance orsomeoth
er culpable cause, the deficit of £15,000 is to he
■on idered as certain to occur annually.
Real Estate has drawn a sad picture of the bur
thens a poor fellow will have to bear incase lie
should chose to dwell in his own house, if he should
imagine the city sold. He puts it down tints:
To the State and Cnuntv on its value.. .. £y no
Insurance, 2 per cent go 00
Repairs, Ac., 2}4 percent 25 ot)
City Taxes, 2J-6 per cent 25 0e»
£73 00
This, of course, looks dreadful, and I have not
the least doubt but that Real Estate honestly be
lieves that it is so. Blit when we reflect that the
poor fellow is now, and has for years, if the above
is true, been paying £63.nn, the great bug-bear
dwindles down to the pitiful sum of £10.0,;>. If
Re\l Estate should succeed in frightening some
d these £],ooii fellows just beyond the corporate
limits, how would they stand then? The answer
is easy, ils furnished by Real Estate:
To the State and County on its value £3 00
Insurance, 2 per cent. 20 00
Repairs, Ac., 2 1 7 percent 25 00
£46 00
A grand difference of £25.00 :made 111 his favor.
But when he finds mileage in his doctor's bill, the
wear and tear of a horse and buggy, the inconve
nience of schooling his children, and that he has
to perforin a Sabbath day’s journey to Church, 1
would not be surprised to find him willing to pay
£25 for the privilege of remaining in the city.
1 tear that Real Estate has essaved to play upon
a harp of a thousand strings, without the spirit
of a just man made perfect fund lhat he will have
to watch and wait a long time before he will have
an opportunity of investing his hoard at the sale
of Augusta. Locomotive.
A letter dated l’aris, Feb. 21, says:
“I am informed 011 very creditable authority
that a perfect understanding has been come to be
tween the Emperor and Lord Clarendon with re
gard to the interpretation to be given to the fifth
point of the Austrian conditions, and that the
English and French plenipotentiaries will conse
quently act in perfect accord in the conferences.
"The French government has at last taken a step
which indicates, to a certain extent, what its real
views are with regard to peace. The ,s iecle yester
day published an article, in which it insisted, in
contradiction to the Deb its, that the destruction of
the arsenals and dockyards of Nicolaieff was ne
cessarily comprised in the conditions accepted by
Russia for the neutralization of the Black Sea; and
in which also it said—what was far more important
—that as the war was undertaken to establish a
new equilibrium of power in Europe, something
must be done for the suffering nationalities. Thu
article is reproduced without the alteration of a word
in the official Mbniteur. The sensation "produced
by this reproduction is immense ; and no wonder,
for it shows that the sentiments of the Siecle are
those of the French government. The peace fac
tion are overwhelmed with confusion at what the
Mbniteur has done. As another ‘sign of the times,’
I may mention that the semi-official Patrie of this
evening protests that the London Times did the
French government great injustice the other day in
representing that it leaned more to Austria than
to England.
“Prince Napoleon yesterday received Lord Cla
rendon, and to-day the other plenipotentiaries of
the conferences were nresenteu to him.”
Menu \ <*uk Pens.—lt would appear to he a
prevalent notion, that writing, though not reading,
comes by nature ; for to write illegibly amounts to
a fashion. Jacob Bryant said of Archdeacon
Coxe’s hieroglyphics, that thev could be neither a
“hand” nor a "fist” but a “foot, and that a club
one.” They formed a clurasv tangled black skein
that ran across the paper in knots it was impossi
ble to unite iuto a meaning. On one occasion.
Bishop Barrington, while expostulating with him
for sending a letter he could not read, told him of
a very bad writer a Frenchman of high rank, who,
answering a letter he had received from a person
of similar rank, expressed himself thus: " Out of
respect, sir, I write to you with my own hand, but
to tacilitate the reading I send you a copy which 1
have caused my amanuensis to make.”

Capital—Kentucky Know Nothingism.
Decidedly the best practical legislative joke
whichever fell under our notice, came off a few
days since in the Legislature of Kentucky. The
Senate of that State is Know Nothing in the pro
portion of about three to two. At the period to
which we allude that grave body was engaged in
the discussion of that portion of the Governor’s
Message relative to Federal matters, and a long
string of resolutions of the culvert stripe, were in
troduced and pressed to a conclusion. At this
stage Mr. Martin, of Floyd county, a Democratic
member, took a copy of the Constitution of the
United States, and transcribed therefrom the fol
lowing passage:
Resole, d, That no religious test should ever be
required as a qualification to any’office or public
trust under the United States.
Never dreaming, as it would appear, this was a
“resolution” which every one of them was bound
by the most solemn obligations to observe, these
K. N. worthies tired up immediately, braced their
nerves to resist this emmissary of the l’ope with
his papistical heresies, and indignantly toted
down tnc Constitution !
We quote from the Frankfort- Yeoman :
“ Those in favor of endorsing the. Constitution
were Messrs. Barlow, Conklin, DeCourcey, Ed
wards, Gillis, Ilardin, Headley, Hogan, Kinsr, Mar
tin, Matthewson, McFarland, iSilvertooth, Walton
Wells—ls.
“ Those against it were Messrs. Bucknor, Bul
lock, Burton, Collins, Gillis, Edwards, Haggin,
Harris, Hay, Howard, Irving, King, Kohlbass, I
Ripley, Smith, Sudduih, Wadsworth, Williams,
. Woodson, Wright—2o.
“All of these gentlemen are Know Nothings, par
excellence, and by this vote they virtually nullify
j the clause of the Constitution of the United States,
1 of which the resolution was a correct copy verbat
im <1 literatim /"
This is unquestionably the best joke of the sea
j son. Pass it round.
A Distinction \ni> x Difference.— The printei '*
bov is in the habit of draw ing upon the kindness
- ol the newspaper patrons whom he visits weekly,
for it small donation about New Year’s time. This
time u piece of very exceptionable poetry was pre
. seated to certain newspaper subscribers in Cupar,
with the usual object iu view. Among others, it
was handed to a worthy lady, who, ignorant of
what was actually wanted, w ent to consult her bus
: band, not out of bed at au hour so early as the call
was made. " Here is the deevil’s printer,” said
tie* good lady. "What will we due wi’ him?"
" [file’s the dcevil’s printer,” said the husband,
; “ hae nothing to do wt’ hint, but if lie’s the prin
ter’s deevil, gie him a six pence.”
Mr. Rowcroft, the British Consul at Cincinnati,

years, we feel no hesitation in recommending the
article as superior to any of the preparations now
in use tor the same purpose, viz: for restoring grav
hair to its original color, a sure and perfect cure
for baldness, and a never-failing preventive for Un
failing of the hair.
It is decidedly the best and most popular in use
lor beautifying, preserving, restoring and strength
ening the hair, relieving diseases of the skin, and
removing scurff, dandrufl'and all eruptions and fe
verish heat from the scalp.
M e speak in relation to the above from what we
know, having been personally acquainted with nu
merous persons who have used the Restorative for
the above purposes with the most gratifying re
sults.
It is not often we notice a patent medicine. In
deed, we think we have never puffed one before ;
but I’rof. Wood’s Hair Restorative is something si
superior to most of the preparations of the day,
that we cannot forbear asking the attention of out
readers to it. - Catholic Vindicator.
