The Ai1any Ercning Journal in effect admits that
it was wrong in assuming that the imposition OF
Canal Tolls on the Central Railroad would divest II
of most of its Freight 1t takes instead the position
that it weuld diyest the Railrosd-owners Of divi-
dends. We think that miscalculation. The
Journal shows that the Freights of the Centra!
have fallen of since the Panic at the rate OF Hall
Million per annum, which, it urges, added to the
Half Million We would make it pay to the Canal
Fund, would devour all its surplus earnings, leaving
nothing for dividends. The mistake in this cacu-
lation is that, while it blazons the falling of in
fregbts it takes no account of the corresponding re-
trenchment in expenditures which the Central, in
common with most other Railroads., must have
effected Make allowance for this, and there will
be something over for dividends; and, if these be
small, we shall expect the Central influence to
work powerfully in favor of the prompt completion
of the Canals so as to give pausibilty to the de-
mard that the tolls be rescinded.

The Legislature is worrying over biz to restrict
the present exemption Ito the extent Of Sl,3Oo) Of
a clergyman sproperty from taxation 20 such clergy
men as are in active clerical service. To which it
is demuned that WORKOUT, unemployed clergy
man needs il more than one who has still parish
and salary. Either of these suggestions is well
enough; but better than either would bes bill abol-
ishing all exemptions Of clergymcn's property from
taxation. Such exemption is wroDs in principle
and unfair in practice. Many Clergyman whose
income s ! 500 or over per snnnm now goes tax
free. while his farming, blacksmithng, sl,Oemaking
RigbbOrs whose income IS not neayly 20 liberal,
have TO pay taxes on whatever property they may
hsye, like anybody else. So long rs our Constitu-
tion absurdly excluded clergymepfron civil office,
there was some plausibllity in eSemPting these
political enunuchs from taxation, but that is hap
PLY dsspated by our Reformet Constitution
Clereynen may now be elected to any Office as Is
right now let them pay taxes just like other people.

The Buchanan journals still derive great comfort
from that original "forty-two msisrity aganst the
Nebraska bill" They have sworn by it from the
start on Lecompton. They say that Nebraska re-
covered from that blow, and Lecompton must be
equally vital. Notwithstanding Lecompton has
been fairly hung, drawn and qusrtered they still
ludcrousIy hold TO the forty-two msjorty against
Nebraska" as sure sign that Lecompton viii Jet

The y. Y. Times has decided propensity to
count it's chickens before they are hatched. 1t
seems too apt to forget the good old Proverb that
one swallow does not make Summer. Some En-
alsh correspondent Of the London papers attached
10 the expedition sgsinst Canton or perhaps merely
repeating the bsseless rumors of Hong Kong, sends
word that the native merchants who had fed from
Canton previously 10 the bombsrdment are again
returning thither. From this The y. \. Times rather
hastily concludes that the Chinese distractions OF
commerce have been removed. Another report
from China is, ths. the French snd English allies
intend to send gun bOst expedition up the Pei Ho
river. Upon the strength OF this report The " y.
Times sets down the contest % substantially ended
ard slready sees, in fascy, the Emperor left with
no other choice than to make peace on such terms
as the allies may dictate. But the satisfaction of
The n. \. Times st this easy triumph over the

The Assembly yesterday refused to lay aside the
third reading Of bills in order to take up the bill
providing for a Registration Of Legal Voters and
order it 10 third reading The vote stood -
Yeas to 40 Nnys--(two-thirds being required to
change the order Of business bat Mr.. Adsms's
motion served 10 establish two important facts:
first that the bill has majority il les fav"ri
secondly, that there were twenty absentees % the
decisive vote yesterday, witain few days OF the
adjournment, and when bills are being ground out
with fearful rapidty. Nlessrs. Baker and Mcintosh
are the only Republicans who voted Nay; and they,
we trust, were governed by desire to reach and
pass some fayorite bill then awaiting its third read
ing. The bill may fa-we fear it wl-but we
should deplore its defeat through Republican hos
tility or heedlessness.
No other law is half much needed by our
citizens as a Registry law 1t will rspel thousands
Of double voters, and voters who have no right to
vote, and will obviate much perjury and i'll blood

Brown Of Mississippi in the debate on Thursday
speaks Of the Old Dominion as sod and decreplt
Virginia" There is too much truth in this to come
from sister Slave State. 1t forebodes evil. We
are aware of the latest diversity of interests between
the breeding and the buying Slave states, and We
expect to see it manifest itself i'll due time. But
this assault seems premature. Let Mr. Brown
wait for tie discussions the revival of the African
slave trade which are near at hand, before dashug
his bolts at poi fOld Virginia She has been ruined
by Slavery to Be sure, but Mississippi, though now
rejoicing in her youth is following in the downward
career of Virginia, and will aseuredly reach the
level of that State in it, decline and decrepitude in
due time. We are ready, however, for the break
between the breeding and the importing Slave
States, which is sure to come. 1t is one in which
the Republican party can exercise umPirage with
entire candor and impatiality. Mr.. Brown having
begun the war; let chvalric Virginia not hold back.

pectcd Mr.. Sumner was Fastening to Washing

vote was taken. There We're, of course, other ab-
scntets on both sides but their presence would not
have affected the result. Mr.. Green wished to re-
ect the amendment of-hsnd, without debate, but
Mr.. Riser. as a Northern Senator, whose constit-
uents would ike 10 know why SO fair and just
termination of the Kansas strife III Congress was
rejected by those who profess the greatest sn1ieiy
to settle the question Somehow-anyho"-thoush'
it necessary TO say something; and this called forth
remarks from Messrs. Douglas and Pugh. No Re
publican deemed il advisable to speak, though they
would all doubtless have been glsd to have awaited
Mr.. Sumpess expected arrival before taking the
vote.

against this' Ii We do not mistake, the motion to
insist (Which will doubtless also be made has pref
erence by Parliamentary law. II there are any

CONNECTICuT holds her State election next Mon
day; and while We do not fear adverse result,
We have great to apprebend that the popular
vote will not exhibit, within Five Thousand, the
actual maiority of her voters opposed to the Feder
al Administration and the policy which has culm-
nsted in the Lecompton Constitution. We see
that while the strength is side the activity
ni Efficiency are on the other-that the Lecomp-
tonites will poll their every vote within thousand
while six times that number Of their opponents will
be absent on journeys or kept at home by sickness
or bereavement, or busy with their fields or their
factories, or aosOrbed in religious effort and so fail
to vote. TIE Post-OfIices the Custom Houses
are all acive their money and their scouts penetrate
every corcer of the State; while the Republicans
confidDg in their acknowledged preponderauce, are
QuesceDt, except in few localities. This dlspar-
ity of organization and effort is so marked that
pctng storm next Monday might enable Messrs.
Toucey and Bishop plausbiy to claim triumph
for LecomptOn and the doctrines on which it is
sustained. We appeal, therefore, to every RePub-
Ecan in Connecticut who may read this article to
set rs though the state were IN danSer-act
promptly, vigorously decisively. Let him not
sleep without making sure that such an organ'zs-
tou of his own Township has been effected that
every Republican voter therein, in spite OF any per-
ronal dissatisfaction with some local candidate,
shall be at the poll Of said town. and (i possble)
vote before noon of next Monday. That point
secured, LET friendly word be passed to each sds-
cent township; but begin BY ascertanins that all !"
right ut home; if il is not right make it right Let
this be done universally, and the anti-l.ecompton
