A recent Loudon letter to an Ametlcan law journal says that legal business In England Is lubjeted to considerable depression, and is threatend with something like extinction managements rates wnicn nave been made up by outside and ludei endent lufluencea is tyrannical—it Is agrarian. Worse than the f >roccss of dismembering an old an honored nsurance company by dividing up a aurp us upou which it was working to give cheaper insurance rates to the public, aud apportion ing it out in small parcels among tbe public, is tbo policy of crippling tbe great railroad service by cutting un their traffic tables. The publt" does uot realise any benefit; tbe rail roads are crippled and hampered at every turn. The recent report of the railroad commission of this Stute endeavors to show that the rail road lawa have prevented outside capitali.-ts from purchasing Hues already built This is ouly partly true. The Macon and Brunswick raifn ad has been secured by the East Tennes sec syndicate to extend its ssytem to the coast, for without this link their work would have been an empty enhrprl-e. The Western aud Atlantic ana Georgia railroads have passed largely into the bands of non-real- dents for similar reasons of com- phtlug through lines and con solidating systems. There were purchases made necessary by the encroochmeut of com petlng ronds, and do not represent money ■P'nt in actual investment. Tho securities were bought to couirol tho roads, not for the dividends of the stock*, and If the scope and extent of the action of tbe commission could have been foreseen at that time, these same railroad managers declare that they would never hhve tunneled our bills, * ridged our streams or opened up our prolific country. And such lawa will prevent the return of capi tal in the future. The commlnlon'i report makes it appear that the lease of the Georgia railroad forfCOO.- OuO per annum represents a dividend of ovci 14 per cent, on tho capital stock of tbe road, which la $4,200,010, and that thla enormous dividend is made aud paid year by year in spltoof tbe operation of the railroad laws. Let ns look Into this statement: The lease of the Georala railroad carried with It one-third inureal in the Atlanta and West Point railroad, 87 miles; one-half interest In the We> tern road of Alabama.138 miles five- eighths interest in the Home railroad, VO miles; one-fifth Interest in the Port Royal aud Anguai* rail oad, 112 Miles; three-fourths in- tercstlnthe Walton railroad, 10 miles, alio tbe Macon and Augusta railroad, (Warrenton to Macon. 74 miles), now known aa the Macon branch of the Georgia railroad.

These are weighty words, they have a double force lu thla country, when one recollects that Lord Coleridge said, at the close of his American tour, that be found it “admitted on all sides that the Eng- Pib courts go faster than yours do here.'

It fs my deliberate con vie lion that unit-** lawyers Increase the efficiency of legal administration, the probation will be reduced In ally years to one-third of Its pres ent number, in Holbein's “Dance of Death" a gaunt figure hovers over the attorney's ear.

MISCELLANY. The nature of title by prescription was well set forth by Mr. Patterson in an address to the Jurj last week In which he said that the law. after long possession, gives a deed to the pos sessor signed by old father Time himself, and makes of every passer-by a surveyor to fix its metes and b -unds This subject has seemed to evoke legal fancy more than any other topic of the law, which generally la aadry aa saw doit without butter.

Macon has a good and efficient police force, but the members are only human and lia 1 le to err as well aa other people. It is seldom, let It ho said to their credit, that they forget their duty ao far as to fight among themselves. Yes* ttrday morning, however, two of them unfor* tunately lost sight of the fact that they were officers, and were principals In sn affair that escaped Le ng a bloody tragedy by almost! miracle. The facta In the matter are about these, so far aa we are able to get at thtm: Or Thurs day night officer W. W. Henderson was as signed to duty in East Macon, and officer Wil liam Sblrah assigned to the beat embracing that portion of tue buslnesa part of the city from Mulberry strict to tbe river. About 3 o'clock Shir ib went to tbe bridge and blew his whistle, as la the rule, and waited for a rc- r>ponae from Henderson. Tbe response w»» never made, or elae it was not heard by Shi- rah, and he proceeded over the river to see what was the matter. He found Henderson in front of Joues's store and a conversation oc- cured relative to answering the whistle. The two officers make contradictory statements aa to the words parsed between them, but in a short while after they met. Shlrah report ed to Mr. H. C. Fennel), who was at home asleep, that he had struck Henderson a terrific blow. Captain Jim Den ton was also aroused, and the three went to look for Henderson 1 hey found him lu a d*rcd condition and be was shortly afterward carrcd home. As Chief Wiley needed all his experienced officers yesterday, he deferr d any action in the matter for ‘.he time belugand put the mm on duty, sending Bhlrah to i ast Macon aud placing Henderson at the city hall. Ab tit 7 o’clock Henderson saw Shiiah approaching tbe ball. He then went into the watchman’s o+ce, and shortly afterward Hhlrab went in and proceeded to get a belt from bchln t the door. He was standing near ofilc r Henry, when suddenly thev taw Henderson approach “■— ”’*■ * ‘ -* them W and the report of a pistol was beard. Hender son then stepped to th»door and fired another shot, both bullets missing Shlrah and burying them** Ives in the wooden partition By tbl< time Shiran bad drawn his pistol, and placing bis baud around the body of Henry,jiulled the Digger, but the pistol failed to go off. In a second the pistol was fired and tbe bail struck the door facing. Henry and several other of ficers then caught both men and disaimed them. The entire affair was over in an Instant, and the firing was done so quickly that Henry had no time to Interfere, ai>d ran a very n-rrow escape himself from being struck by one of Uenderson's bullets. Chief Wlier. on hearing the reports, came down from his office and told both men to leave their badges, etc., and go borne, no then had them docketed for fighting and dis orderly, an! for shooting in the city He also swore out warrants for tbe two officers and in addition their conduct will be inves tigated by the police committee. The affair is greatly deplored by Chief Wile; and tho officers of tne force. Tne men wtl. be allowed a full hearing, and then the full facts In the case will be brongb " Henderson has made a reputa.- - - . . _ a very efficient officer, and bis friends have been urging him for a lieutenancy on tbe forre.

The relations between tbe two gentlemen are still said to be cf a most amicable nature, but the strange history of the loan which tbe judgment represents is of sucb an interesting nature as to casPv bear retelling.

Tbe millionaire generously handed over a check on the Chemical Bank dated the doy before. May 3, and the ex*President promised to return the sum on Monday. This he attempted to do by sending to Mr. Vanderbilt Grant & Ward s check on the Marine Bank, dated that day. With the check, however, waa a request that it be not presented for payment until the fol lowing dav (Tuesday.) on Tuesday the bank suspended business. On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Vsnder biit sent for Gttieral Grant. Though the nature of the interview was never known, the General gave assurance from Mrs Grant that the check would be made good if her private fortune were equal to it, and not long afterward the ex President trans ferred all hit property and Mrs. Grant trans ferred bera, which included two homes in Washington, one in Philadelphia, a farm near 8L u>uls belonging to the General, their own reeidence, No. 3 Eaat Sixty' sixth street, and Mrs. Grant's cottage at Long Braoch, to Mr. Vanderbilt. The steamer Baltic bore Mr. Vanderbilt to Europe on the followingSatnrday (May 10.) but before lie was well out to sett tbe re port was pub iabed that he had returned the transfer deeds given him by General Grant, with the remark that be could pay the amount ot the check at his leisure.

Tbe reasons that led to bir conclusion be does not give; be states bis purpose and ahowa how fixed it is; "I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem.” "Spirit” here ia clearly not the Holy Ghost; It la Paul's spirit. Paraphrased, hie words means; “As a Hrvanjof.God.Igo to Jerusalem under an Inward necessity, by compulsion of conscience, a strong and fixed conviction that 1 ought to go at this time.” Tula is not inspiration and such a con clusion ia not infallibly correct. A sin cere man may make a mistake aa to hi only. But It is moetnnltkely tbathe will. It ia to rare an experience that, aa a rule, we need never fear to do what we believe we ought to do. Provided; First, that we have tasen ail pains to understand the cate; tecond, that we do not make argu ments to proJuce a conviction in favor ot our selfish intereats or ambitions. Paul had used the means needful in reaching the right conclusion. He did not decide grave questions in ignorance of facts; hr did not decide them on lmpnlae. He waa a man who thought things through. This la indispensable, oil It la a slow and very often a painful process. Paul bad no rea son tn suspect his motives; hia interests as men looked at such things, lay the other way. These were the “bonds and afflictions that awaited him.” Ltke enough some of his friends thought him an obatinate tool. But what would, by this time, have become of the church and the world if there h*d not been good men who held fast by their convticions of duty? Think of Luthsr flinching at the Diet of Worms. And recall John Wesley preaching from his father's tombaton- when the “church” shut Its doors in his face. 1 must press this upon your attention young men; Paul's purpose was not an opinion aa to policy—1* waa not a determl. nation growing out of passion; this pur pose b id Its roots in conscience. It was what he thought ha ought to do. It waa the conviction of a thoroughly religious man—the conclusion of an honest mind seeking to find the path of duty—of a tin cere man who prayed tor light and used hia eyai when the light came to him. It ia a nice thing here to avoid rational ism oa tbe one bend end fanatielamon the other. The man who, trusting bis reason only, ireks to determine duty without prayer, leant on a broken reed that will pierce bit hand; the man who only preys without thinking It a fanatic, exposed to the fear Ini hacurd ot mistaking e mental mood, date of his nervous system, a pasting Im pulse, or a strong desire for an impm- linn of the Holy Ghost. Tbe man who prays this wav ia apt to find in his heart tbe kind ot impression be seeks to find, amt o call It a divine impression. I have told some ot you of the three young preachers, who ones end shoot the tame time consulted Asbury on tha subject ot omrrisg*. Each man said be bad made tbe matter a aubiect of prayer and each man was rare he bed “the mind of the Unirlt”—hut each one wanted to marry tbe aatoe roans woman. Paul prayed aod Paul thought; Pau thought and Paul prayed. Preaching aa I am this morning to a con gregation composed chiefly of young peo ple, 1 wish to call attention at thla plaoe to the law of habit aa entering into the qualities of character M. Paul revelled on this occasion. Hera la moral heroism of a very high order; this quality is not suddenly called into being. He had been growing into It all these years. Now and then you imagine yonnelves as meeting great occ.ai >ne with great strength of character. Ttia dre.m you may real- i*e, but’mark what 1 tell you to-day—thl- quality la not called into existence off hand. Such qualities are alo.-ed up ener- giee, they are In the reserved power that underlies character. You wonder at the patieut strength of Moses with Israel In tbe wilderness; he had been in training forty yean amid the mountains jot Midlan. You wonder at the grace that sustains some good people In the hour of bereave ment ; they have been to the habit of trust ing to Goa rad of submitting to bis will. Othen, without such training, you have seen go down under the nnt strokes of sorrow. Paul had been to the habit of deciding questions of duty without taking side glances at quAtiona of Interest. It was natural that when he eorely needed to ace clearly whet bis duty was be saw Be spoke to character when he said: “I S ) bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem.” n this lost lacrameiiUl occasion, in which I will jpto you iu s relation that I have sustained for nine years, let me commend to you flu Pa cl’s example and spirit. Having made thla allusion I will, this once, go further in e xplanation ot my mo tives aod purpo es. I shall say what I will not repeat elsewhere. Your love to me creates e right to understand whet I am about to undertake. The few words about royaelt that I propose to asy on the subject of my resignation of theprerldei.cy of the college, t prefer toeayUua morning, reth.r than three weeks hence when I shell turn over its administration to my ■uccetaor, Dr. Hopktoa, a man I honor highly, love devotedly and trust Implicitly. 1. As to lraviog the active work of ti.e college. It brings me a keen pang. I never did ray work that I loved so well; never again will I be ao placed aa to find a work that ia auch a delignt, such a passion, such a fascination aa my work with the Njra has been. Ae to tbe cofiege. it will suffer no hurt-.It will be to good bands. Ae to myself, the time bee come when, lx eons important respects. I can do tha college ana the cause of Christian education It r.preeenti mom good out of the pceet deucy thu Id It. 2 Aa to th. work of tha ageocy of the “John V. Matas r " — *:.ctltu. In 1 But it will take full twenty years to ac compllit what, by divine power, I intend to try, at Jeaat. to begin, In to far aa one man can do anything, to accomplish. In my plana I have nothing beyond thla work and tbe iaauea that may naturally grow out of it. Aa in very many other things, ao here I am in circomstanrea very different from fit Panl. I do not expect either "bonds” or “afflictions " Misapprthrnsion ou the part of many excellent people, both of my purposes and motives, I do txpect. For this I am prepared; miiapprehension la natural to tbe conditions of my position and ot the work I propose. Misapprehen sion will not surprise me and, for the sake of my neighbors and friends here today, I add, will not distress me. Some miaap- prrh-nitons will ariie from Ignorance ot facte; some from honest difference of opinion as to what ought io be attempted for tbe negroes in the 8juth. Theie differ ence* cannot be harmonised by argument; these question* must be referred to histo ry; to history lam willing to refer them. in conclusion, let me say to you all,who ti I 'ova better than I love any people to tbe world: Aa to tbe college I have done roy beat to build it up aim n-gtke it uteful. I have had good help from my brethren and the blessings ot God upon our joint labors. For all inis I am grateful to God and thankful to them. into the other work—the work of trying to forward the work of “Christian educa tion among the lately emancipated people” of the ttonth—I go with alt ray might. I shall do my beat,leaving results where they belong-to God. If I shall be to happy in to accomplish tome rnbstantlel results I expect of meet of them that they will bi- apparnet after I am dead and gone, 8uch work can’t be done rapidly: It never we* so done; it takes a long time. It ir the mining not of an Individual but of a race, and this means the training of generc- ilnne. It Isa great and difficult work and I would uot venture Into It If 1 did not see what to me is the “pillar of clond and of fire." If here it any work that mutt be done, and It It very difficult and require* a long time, It it the mure necessary to be gin promptly and tolabor diligently. It is a work that concerns the genera tions that come alter na; it It a work thst takes hold on two continents. One man cannot do mnch; he can only do all In can. This would be a difficult work if all the forty.five millions of white people in this country were Interested to it. That I may be faithlul I ask the prayer* of those who love me. I do nut ask you to pray that I may be successful; my part la only duty; success is God's. The re sale I leave to him, trusting absolutely his promise t - help those who try to do their duly; that It. who try to do what they be lieve to be His holy will. SPLITTING THE COLORED VOTE. •outharn White* Peaiful that it mar Re sult In Hastening Scclst Equality. Btciiaoxn, Vi„ December 7.—Some of the more thougbtfLl whites to Virginia and the 8outh think that tbe result of the election of a Democratic President will be not alone Ihe division of the negro Tote hereafter, but Ihe hastening of social equality, a matter which they look upon with alarm.
