INTO EFFEcT

The Governor Of yesterday signed the
General Telegraph Bill, and the Offices Of
the new line were accordingly opened
throughout the State. As q consequence,
down goes the pnce for t~elegraphing hence
to San Francisco so per cent, and a pro-
portionate reduction on messages sent to
way-stations. So the people at once feel
the beneficial effect of the General law. A
Bill has been introduced into the Senate,
supplementary to this General law, pro-
viding, under pain Of fine, that no more
shall be charged for dispatches than the
United States law authorizes ; and . fur
Their provision, that FIVE per cent of gross
earnings of all Telegraph. Companies in
this State for dispatches SEA. from within
this State shall be paid into the State
Treasury. II the United States law can
not be enforced without a State statute to
aid it, then we doubt the binding force Of
the United States schedule Of prices. We
should like to have FIVE per cent Of earn
ings Of the telegraph lines in our State
Treasury. but VIC believe such a law as
suggested would only serve to involve the
State in useless litigation. At the same
time. we fear our legislators think it would
be of substantial benefit to call, by State
law. for a United States scale Of prices to
be strictly observed. We shall be quite
ready to extend the hope that the ends
will be accomplished: No ~monopolies and
no ertortion! This is one Of our notices.

TRUE PowzR.-There is a truly noble
sway of man over man /; n which it 10
our honor to seek and exert; which is
earned by well-doing /; which is a chief
recompense of virtue. We refer to the
quickening influence Of a good and great
mind over other minds, by which It brings
them into sympathy with itself. Farfrom
condemning this, we are anxious to hold
it forth as the puress glory which yirtuous
ambition can propose. The power OF
awakening, enligbtening. elevating u
fellow-creatures may, with similar fitness,
be called divine /; for there is no agency Of
God 90 benefcent and sublime as that
which He exerts on rational natures, and
by which he assimilates them Himself.
This sway over other souls is the surest
test Of greatness We admire, indeed, the
energy which subdues the material crea-
ton or developes the physical resources Of
q State. But It is q nobler might which
calls forth the intellectual and moral re-
sources Of q people, which communicates
new impulses to society, throws into cir
culation new and stirring thoughts. gives
the mind Q new consciousness OF its fac
ulty, and rouses and ~fortifies the will to
an unconquerable purpose Of well-doing.
The spiritual power is worth all other.
To improve mans outward condition is q
secondary agency, and is chiefly important
a. It gives the means Of inward growth.
The most glorious minister Of God on
earth is he who speaks with u life-giving
energy to other minds, breathing into
them the love Of truth and virtue, and
strengthening them to suffer in a'good
cause, and lifting them above the sense Of
the world.-Channing.

QUESTIONABLE AUTHORITY OF A DIS
rrNGuIsHBD JOURNALIST Persons well
acquainted with Horace Greeley are we'll
aware that, with all his amiability and
good-heartedness, he is not practically or
thodox. You remember, no doubt, the
solicitude of one Of his extremely pious
friends. who asked him, when his two
daughters were i'll some years since, If
they had been baptized. "Oh no." said
Horace, " but they have been v~accinated."
An earnest advocate Of foreign missions
forced himself into the presence Of the
Tribupe's editor-in-chi in the Bible
house the other day, while he was hard
at work on his Conflict" and impor-
tuned him to subscribe to the cause. The
veteran journalist looked up from his
manuscript in very choleric mood, and
said crustily: Don't ask me to give
anything for the salvation of souls. am
convinced Cooking significantly at the
insruder) that not half as many people 90

For which irreyerent jests, H. G.. makes,
l presume, ample amends by frequent at
tendance at Chapin's Unrversalist church,
where he enjoys the reputation Of one oil

DEVIL WORSHIP IN NRw ORLRASs.-
Fetishism, or serpent worship lin fact devil
Worship prevails to a large extent in New
Orleans, not only among the negroes but
the foreign population. A gentleman
there writes that with a medical friend
he visited two patients who had under
gone what is called Voudou treatment
(incantations):
The first was an Italian woman, a ghast-
~ and cadaverous creature-a fixed look
Of terror in her eyes, limbs nerveless, her
mind disordered. She had been in fine
health till a year before when she had a
violent quarrel with a neighbor, who, she
thought, bewitched her. and she lost her
health. Her only reason for thinking
herself bewitched was the discovery Of
some p~arti-colored rags and chicken claws
hid in her pillow. The other case was
that Of a Spanish girl who was subject to
spasms. The Vondou doctor had her re-
moved from her mother to the house of a
male relative for whom sho had the utmost
horror, and sprinkled the yard adjoining
the house with q white powder. This
doctor or " devil /" was o native of Africa,
but had left there forty years ago. He
practiced his profession as there taught.
His accent was decidedly foreign, there
were tattoo marks still on his face, and q
ca.-like, waschful expression on his coun-
tenance. He was, however, clad in re-
spectacle black, and wore q heavy gold
chain.

RE-INrBRNESr OF CoSYEDHRXrx SOL
pIlRs.-Eighteen OF the bodies Of the rebel
soldiers who fell ut Sailors Creek. Va,
last April. have been lately exhumed and
taken to Savannah. But seven Of them
were recognized. The eleven unrecogniz-
ed were buried in n coffin together.
The funeral scene was most impressive.
The Savannah Fire Brigade wore ever
greens and bore laural branches. The
Cemetery was crowded; three clergy
men Of differen. denominations officiating.
A Right Rev. Bishop delivered a eulogy,
from which we quote this disunion senti-
m.nt. which he seems to have thought
would no. be unacceptable to his large
audience: "As sure as there Is a God OF
justice the time will come when the coun-
try will recover from It's present delirium'
and . monument will be raised towards
heaven in memory Of these martyred ones
now gone forever" Many Union soldiers
were present, together with a large num-
Der who had served in the rebel ranks.

SoxE prominent Southern journals Of
strong rebellious tendencies, have lately
begun to urge the people of their respec-
tive States, to eheerfully accept the new
condition under which they must employ
laborers. The Louisville Courier, a few
days since, earnestly advised the Kentuck-
ians to stop their grumbling a make fair
contracts with the freedmen. The Mem
phis Aralanehs also says that it almost
dares to say that the experiment of free
labor has proved q success. The results,
thus far, are mixed. it is true. and to a
certain degree uncertain, but they I'M
dsubtedly contain some encouragement,
and clearly suggest the plain interest OF
the Southern people to persevere in their
endeavors to conciliate and adapt the new
labor to their necessities.

ABOUT HOSTILE hog product Of the
United States is no uncomfortable item Of
the national wealth. In 1860 there were
enrolled by the census takers 3~2,497,sll
swine, whose average value could not
have been less than So each. The West,
as the Fasteners call the geographical
middle Of our country. surpasses other
section in numbers Of this race. Chicago
and Cincinnati are the two great centers
Of pork sqealing and packing on the con-
tinens. In 1868, l22,s25 fat and store
hogs arrived in Chicago in a single day,
and s7o,2s4 were packed there the same
year. St. Louis, Louisville, Terre Haute
and Dubuque are other large pork pack
ing cities. In New England, for various
reasons, the hog population has decreased
for the last two decades. In 1910 there
were 74s,sss hogs in the six Eastern
States; in 1850, 36l,4sl in 1860, 1922, 6s7.

SCHOOL HOUSES, T In company
with one Of the Board Of Education, we
paid q visit this morning to the Public
School houses of Gold Hill. to see what
improvements are necessary for the COM
fort and safety Of the scholars. We were
astonished at the urgent necessity Of some
repairs to the Fairgrounds Of the Primary
School, and we appeal to the Board to
listen to our suggestions, and urge imme-
dia,e action. The east end Of the school
lot which fronts on Telegraph street re-
ouires a substantial wall built with a fence
on top. A child in its needless play and
sport is likely to fall over and be killed
almost any day. The south side Of the
yard also is on o~verhanging wall, although
not so high as the east end, but is ex-
tremely dangerous, as a child was severely
injured only a few days ago BY falling on
the rocks. But the most frighttul Of all,
is a deep shaft, filled with water, close by
the clildren's playground! Children are
children the world over, and when they
are lie, out of school to play, are very apt
to play as children do, regardless of dam
ger of injury. We know that our Board
Of Education desire to do whatever is to
the benefit and interest of our Public
Schools, and to protect and benefit the
rising generation, and we, therefore, in
behalf of parents who send their little ones
to receive the precious intellectual fruits
Of our schools, ask that ar appropriation
be made without delay to repair and i'm
prove the school house yards in Gold Hill.
and make them safe for the scholars.

NARROW ESCAPE OF CINCINNAn.-
The rebel Gen. Heath lately visited Gin
clnnati, and told the editor of the Com
mcrcial how near he came to the capture
of that city during the war. His divis-
ion occupied the hills of Co,ington, Ky,
opposite, and he knew that the city was
poorly defended, and that he could easily
take 1t. He telegraphed to Kirby Smith
at Lexington that he could take Cincinnati
with the loss of perhaps hundred men,
and asked for instructions. Smith replied
to Heath to take the town. and he had
prepared to mass his forces and break our
extended and imperfect lines, fixing the
time and place to do so, when second
telegram from Smith was received telling
him that Buelrs movements made it nee
essary for Bragg to concentrate his whole
army-that a division could not be spared,
even to hold Cincinnati, and that after
Buell. was whipped in Kentucky, the cities
On the Ohio river would fall into their
hands without further fighting. Upon
this the order to advance upon our works
was countermanded, and the rebels moved
off rapidly to the centre of Kentucky.

The Constitutional amendment.

The joint committee on reconstruction
in congress have agreed and reported the
following:
ARTICLE -. Representatives and
direct taxes shall be apportioned among
the several states which may be included
within this Union according to their re-
spective numbers, counting the whole num-
Der of persons in each state, excluding In
dams not taxed provided that wheneuer
the electiue franchise shall be denied or ab'ptg-
ed in any state, on account Of race or color,
all persons Of such race or color shaAbe e.
ch4ded from the basis Of representation.
This amendment was pressed in con-
gress Tuesday, but not acted upon, and
doubts are expressed as to its passage.
While some of the most earnests friends
of the black man advocate its passage,
others believe it wrong, and but a spec
ious way to dodge the great question OF
impartial suffrage in congress, thus throw
ing the whole subject back to the states.
One party says "Account your blacks
men or brutes but, you account them
brutes, do not ask other states to regard
them as men," The Others say, owe will
not account the freedmen brutes on condi-
ton that their oppressors will renounce to
US so much power in the government as
an equivalent but we will give them
their rights at our hands as citizens of the
United States, and secure it to them by an
amendment to the constitution giving them
suffrage"
