Those of our readers whose hair is sil vered witli age will recollect that the city of Columbus was originally divided into lots, and tho lots sold by the State. The money for the sale bf these lots tfan, by legislation, reservod for tho State. What exact use tile State pnt that money to Is not known, but It Is a fact that the State Iwiught the State Road. Before that road was built all tho trade from the northern portion of the State, and from lower Ten nessee, came down tho Chattahoochee l iv er on rafts as far as West Point, and then wagoned to tills place, the head of stoam- Ixiat navigation. That road tor years back curtailed and Interfered with the trade of Columbus, anil now, as a recompense, would It be asking too much for the State to give to tho city of Columbus the North and South Rullniod ? When we recollect that the entire city was sold, and the State received the money, and that tills city has uevor, for years past, reoeivod anything /from the State in the way of publk* im provements, we think the claim ujion tho State a plausible one. By proper atten tion, we think the State would give the road to the city. Cohraibus can then In demnify herself for the two hundred thou sand dollars which six' has invested hi this road. If that can ho accomplished, it will relieve the city of the greater portion of her debt, and the mad could be mid to parties who would obligate thnneehee to push It through to LaOrange. Thus Co lumbus would have another outlet, and another souroo of revenue to her mer chants. The city and Board of Trade have a iw t efficient committee looking after her inter est in this rood, and we simply suggest that they carry this matter before the Leg islature. It la worth the trial. Our sister titles cannot complain, for they, or a ma jority of them, have already received ben efits from the State Treasury, while Co lumbus has had comparatively nothing. Tho sale by the State of the lots upon which Columbus Is built, though made years ago, yet the money properly should have gone for public Improvements In our city. Cannot we make the effort ? Tbs Murphy XasS. As was exjieeted the matinee given by the Katie Putnam troupe lor the benefit of tho family of our deceased Marshal was a great success. There was a large crowd iu attendance, and many tickets were sold* We under’- stand the net proceed* to.tbe family was two hundred and sixty dollars. The project, while laudable in Katie Putnam, yet the troupe made it pay them handsomely. They reserved out of the proceeds two hundred and twenty-five dollars for themselves. They made that much ou the offer to be generous, for without such a oharitable object in view the troupe on that raiuy, muddy evening would not have hail a dozen spectators. “All is not gold that glitters.” Our lieojile in buying tickets, thought the entire benefit was to go to the family of Murphy, and that the most that the troupe would reserve from this fund, would be the rent of the liali. Be it said however to the oredlt of Katie, that after this amount was de ducted for the troupe, she gave twen ty-live dollars as her sixruii donation to ids orphans. Deputy Marshal Robinson and officer Wood have in terested themselves in the matter of raising a fund, and reiKirt greut suc cess. Up to dark they hail hi hand seven hundred dollars, given by the citizens, with the promise of several hundred more. We wish it was that many thousands. €*ley MurshNl. From what will apjiear umter this head we hope the public will not think we are too hasty in raising our voice in the affairs of the eity, nor do we desire to be misunderstood. Iu the first place, we hojie the city will give to the widow of tho late Marshal the entire salary of the office, and that the oitizens will raise sufficient money to forever prevent his family from coming to want. We are just os much in earnest, however, iu opjios ing the iilan proiiosed in the Enquirer. Sun of yesterday. We think the eity should order another election for the office of Marshal, for the reason that sueh an office as thut Is required by the charter of the eity, and the en cumbent must be elected by the people, and not promoted. We think Deputy Marshal Robinson a fit [icr son for the Murshalship, and he can get It before the people. If it ran lie demonstrated jthat the city can be managed without u Marshal, then, in the interest of the tax-payors, the office should be abolished. We think Council should order an election and give the people on op portunity to eledt W. L. Robinson or someone else to the office. We would respectfully suggest to the Council that It would meet the views of the community if they would pass a resolution to the effect that if any of the city officers meet death in the faithful discharge of their duty, that their families, for a grreti ttlnc, shall receive an amount equal to the salary or wages of the deceased offi cial. This would be fair, and show our officers that they are appreciated, and that their families will not suffer . We hope that the Council will sot the precedent in the case of Marshal Murphy, by voting the amount of his salary to his widow und orphans, and order an election to fill the va cancy occasioned by his death. rtnual.

Those who have just left, left with the good wishes of the on tiro city, and the deserved plaudit of “well done thou good and faithful servant.” We know from the reputa tion the present ministers have In tho Conference, they will in no less degree deserve us much when it comes their turn to leave us. Rev. R. J. Corley has been placed in charge of the oldest Methodist church in the city, St. Luke. Ho is a gentleman of fine address und cul ture, has a considerable reputa tion as a divine. He is six feet high, thougii quite slender, and while not what might be termed handsome, yet has a striking face. Rev. J. O. Branch, has charge of St. Paul. He is of medium size, and has quite a reputation as a pulpit or ator, and a man of decided ability. He is aliout thirty-six years old, and has a family. Rev. B. F. Breedlove is about the same age, and has been given in charge of the Brood street church. He is quite tall and commanding in oiqieamnce, and stands high with his church; has been appointed to a good congregation, and with his tal ents will do service in his Muster’s cause. Rev. L. B. Paine, received as his work the charge of three churches, one in Girard, one in Brownville, and the other at Clapp’s factory. He is known to’ be a zealous worker in the Vineyard of the Lord.
