The flrst matter taken under consid eration was the question of condemning the water tower as a nuisance. 'Ibis matter has been talked about very much of late, aiid the discussion has been lively pro and con, but it has not yet rescued any definite shape. There are thoce who believe the old tower should be torn down, but don’t know where to place mother one, or in what manner U> provide for the neces sities of the rity in regard to a full and complete water supply. And then tbi* brings up the question of the oily of owning and operating it* own waterworks system. So the coun cil decided to postpone their action on this matter until the next regular meet ing.

About dark the party returned to the Instillte, and the young ladies were inhered in to the pleasures of a sump tuous hast that had been prepared foi the occasion. Mirth and merriment prevailed around the board, and the early hours of the sveniug were .pent most pleas antly. After the feast had been finished the young ladies closed up the enjoyment and pleasure of the day by recounting among themselves the interesting in cidents of the celebration. If Mr. Seney could have viewed the happy young ladies to-day and the man ner in which they celebrated his birth day, be would feel brightly justified in 1ft to the I connections south westward for the Georgia, Carolina and Northern, that it is more than probable that this com pany will look to its construction in the near future.

The Georgia Railroad -Commission is ; the discussing the advisability of adopt!"? a uniform passenger rate of 2c per mile throughout the State. The rail roads will of course regard this proposed reduction as inimical to their intereot*, but the people are unanimously in favor of it and it is quite probable that this rate will he established by the commis sion. There can hardly be a doubt that in the end it will prove as beneficial to the interests of the railroad companies as to the traveling public. The redaction will not be in the i ture of an experiment, for the experi ment has already been made on the Western A Atlantic railroad by Mr. Joseph M. Brown, and it was amply justified by results. One of the* results was a large increase in the income of the road from this source. This is the matter which the railroad commission has control of. and it should at once take steps to reduce the passenger rate (o 2 cents. ▲ uniform rate would work well to all parties con cerned. It would be easier on the trav eling public, while it wonld be to the decided financial inte>est of the rail roads by greatly increasing travel, which increase we doubt not would more than offset the reduction in rates. The Covington and Macon gcneronsly offered the students a very low excur sion rate to Oxford, and will ran spe cial cars through to Madison and thence to Oxford by the Georgia railroad. The schedule is a most desirable one and both the hour of departure and the hour of arrival to perfectly convenient to all who' have a desire to go. The citizens as well as the students appreciate fully the favor of the ever obliging Covington and Macon. SAM W. SMALL. ffikltesiaivery fiery Jotter. Philadelphia, Thin., May 15.— (Special.)—The Rev.

He thought the silver question would lie avoided by both the great national parties. The question of axr.tiou, however, was mo.it important. l‘be day wat> uot fur distant when banks wonld lie heavily taxed, both ad valorem and privilege tax. John R. Godwin, of Memphis, rend a paper, strongly advocating the free coin age of silver, on the ground that it would cause prices of farm products to advance iu price. The subject of taxation was discussed at the afternoon session. CoL S. A. Champion, of Nashville, said that while the banks were taxed upon 90 per cent, of their par value, real estate and other jperty escaped at an assessment of iin 25 to 60 per cent. Some action should be taken towards semiring more equitable assessments. The association will continue in ses sion for several days. A GOLDEN DREAM. Silvery On* That Turned Oat to lie Indeed.
