rary arrangement for the reception OF
inmates has been made, nor is such
practicable. The Commissioners have
adopted the family system as con-
tradistinguished from the congre-
gate plan.
Under the family system, the in
mates are divided into families of fifty
each, each family having a separate
house, and being under the control of
an Elder Brother and an Assistant
Elder Brother. The family is divided
into two classes of twenty-five each,
and these classes alternate in study
and la bor, one half of each day being
devoted to study and the other half to
labor.
No Superintendent has yet been
appointed, and none | suppose will be
until the buildings are nearly ready
for occupancy. AS under the family
plan more dependence is placed upon
moral suasion and less on coercion,
much of the success of the institution
will depend on the Superintendenta and
his assistant officers.
The Commissioners will, if posi-
bic, endeavor to procure one or more
tried men who have had experience
In such institutions.
" According to the plans adopted
by the Commissioners, the Institution
when finally completed will consist of
one main building and ten family
houses, besides shops, bake houses,
milk houses, &c.
But as the appropriation made
will not be near sufficient to build all
these, the Commissioners have, as I
think wisely, determined not for the
present to attempt to build the main
building (Which will be for the chapel,
dining halls. &c. }, but instead thereof
to commence by erecting three family
houses, one large shop. bake house,
milk-house, barn, &c. BY this plan
they hope to be ready to accommo-
date about one hundred and fifty in
mates by the commencement of next
year, and to have the institution in
good working order when the next
Legislature meets. Experience has
shown that the minimum humber that
can be managed advantageously in
any one institution is about five hun
dred; and the plans of the Commits
sioners, if ever carried to completion,
contemplate an institution OF that
capacity.
The Institution at Chicago is
sort of cross between the Family and
the Congregate systems; and our
Commissioners in their plans provide
for the modification thereof, if the
Family system, pure and simple, is
found not to work we'll by ENGRAVING

From the World.1

The message sent to Congress by
President johnson, yesterday, calls
attention, in its closing paragraph, to
a very grave subject. Congress having
taken the ground, in its recent legisla-
ton, that we have acquired over the
South all the rights of conquest, it
logically follows that we have also in
Cured all the obligations inseparable
from such rights. We cannot assume
the advantages of such a relation,
without also accepting its liabilities
The South has probably for some
time perceived this consequence;
which may perhaps explain, what has
seemed so unaceountable to many, the
listlessness of the Southern people in
relation to registration. Although
the white voters greatly outnumber
the blacks, the returns thus far show
preponderence of negroes on the
registers. 1t has been frequently
asked in amazement why the whites
should permit this; why they should
thus tamely surrender themselves to
negro rule, when they could easily
outvote the freedmen, and get control
of the new State governments? Pro-
badly the white population do not in
tend that any new State government
shall be formed with their consent, in
order that Congress may BE obliged
to provide for the heavy State debts
for which it has made the nation liza

In oRpxR to advance Southern indus
trial prospects, the New Orleans Rspuo-
liean advocates the division Of the large
sugar plantations Of Louisiana among
numerous small proprietors, believing
that by such a course they can be a
aged with greater economy. To enforce
this view it says: Let any one travel
up the Mississippi q few hundred miles,
or up the Teche into the A~ttakapas, and
see the present condition Of the sugar
presses, mills, plantations and negro
quarters, all languishiug, and he will at
once be convinced that the sugar inter-
ests can never be revived, or the Won
derful resources of these rich sugar
lands be developed until there are fewer
large plantations and more proprietors
Of this rich SOIL" The plantation
system" both as it involved the work
ing of slaves and the ownership Of large
bodies of land by single individuals, has
always been q curse to the South, as ii
has proven and will prove n curse to
any locality. Where land is held and
cultivated by the owner in small guam
titles, there the people are most pros
porous, independent and happy. Wher
the South can abolish the plantation
system by arresting monopoly in land, {
wide step forward in local prosperit!
will be taken.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

It is three centuries and o half ago
since Luther commenced his noted ca
reer as the opponent Of the sale OF IN
d~ulgences. The Lutheran Church
throughout the civilized world" as a
recent extract announced, celebrate this
season with high festivities, as a great
anniversary period for thanksgiving on
account of a "pure gospel preached"
No. to disparage Luther's merits in the
least, the time suggests some curious
reflections. As for instance: There is
not q Lutheran Church in the civilized
world to-day, where Luther, or one be-
liering precisely as he did, could obtain
communion and full fellowship in faith.
Startling as this statement may at first
appear to many, its truth a be verified
to all who are at all acquainted with
cotemporaneous Church history, by one
or two records Of Luther's belief.
Luther fully believed in tho doctrine Of
ransu5staptiation,- 1.-THE absolute, liter
al changing of the wine into the blood
and the bread or wafer into the body Of
Christ, when blessed on the Church
altar. Luther also held against the
doctrine of the inherent immortality OF
the human soul,-denouncing that now
prime article in Protestant faith as Il
" duughill doctrine" No to-day Mar
tin Luther could not be, would not be
admitted into any Church Of his name.
The reverses met by Garibaldi were
so sudden and overwhelming that people
hardly had time to express an opinion
as to what would be the real fruits OF
his successes before the news OF his
discontinue was telegraphed. Some
very foolish and bigoted creatures, igno-
rantly and sometimes blasphemously
hurrahed over what they supposed was,
in Garibaldi's victory, the establishment
of the Catholic church. The merest
tyro in history reading knows that Popes
have often been driven from their pala-
ces, and there have been coutesting
Popes, and yet the Catholic church has
lived and fourished. And all persons
of ordinary intelligence know that those
lately in arms against the Pope, pro-
tested that they denied not the spiritual
authority, but battled against the tenn
poral power of the Vatican. Several
Radical papers On this coast have i'm
proved the occasion of Garibaldi's sue
cesses to manifest their hope or inten'
ton of committing the Union party to
the overthrow Of Catholicism, its extir.
patton in this country. What other
wild, crazy projects they have to fasten
upon the Union or Republican party il
would be impossible for US to c~onjec'
ture. If the Democracy don't pay them
for Illuminating such ideas, then there
is a breach of contract or base inappre'
citation or ingratitude.
Our folks generally remain, and de-
clare themselves content in expectation
of fourishing times mex. year. When
the railroad reaches the Truckee, every
man and family propose to take a rail
road ride across the Sierras, if it doe,
not cost a small fortune.

THOMAS H. RUSSELL, formerly o resi-
dent of Nevada, late Of Georgetown, on
Thursday attempted to commit a rape
upon the person Of a young lady Of I'M
blemishcd character, a resident of that
place. He had invited her TO attend On
evening dancing party. In the morning
he boosted Of his intention to commit
the loathsome crime. During the even
ing he invited her out to take a lunch
at n ncighboring restaurant. While on
the way he assaulted her and attempted
the desperate deed. Her repeated cries
for help aroused persons who were at
the dance, who went to her rescue,
beating him severely. He has since
been arrested and will BIO examined on
Monday. He offered his entire property
to be permitted to escape. The people

RESPONSIBILITY OF IxyKErpRRs.-Som

RESPONSIBILITY OF l~NSREEPERs.- some
years ago the safe Of the What Cheer
House, San Francisco, was robbed, and
one of the boarders, Mr.. Pinkerton,
brought suit against Mr. Woodward to
recover his money, which had been
placed in the safe. The case, says the
Alta, has at last been brought to IN end
by a decision Of the Supreme Court Of
California, which decides that the What
Cheer House is an inn, that its owner is
responsible to his guests as inu-keepers
are under the common law that inn
keepers insure the goods of their guests
to a reasonable amount. AS to tho ar
ticles insured, the Court say
"The iunkeeper is held liable for
clothing, ornaments Of the person, in
Guiding u reasonable amount of jewelry
and sufficient money to pay the travelling
and other reasonable daily expenses Of
the guest, and that beyond those things
he is not liable, unless he has volunta.
rily and knowingly undertaken the care
and custody Of them. If any argument
can l~egitimstely be drawn from the cases
of passenger carriers, in support of the
limitation of the liability of an innkeep-
err, the latter must surely be held liable
for what, as against the forum, is re-
garded as the baggage of the passenger.
The cases cited by the Court include as
baggage a watch, articles of jewelry, a
gun and the tools Of a trade, if carried
in Il trunk, and generally everything de-
stined for the personal use, convenience,
and even instruction and amusement OF
a passenger. Suppose two travellers on
their way to the same destination, the
one having in his possession q watch,
jewelry and some other of the articles
above mentioned, and the other having
the money with which he intends to
purchase articles similar to those pos.
sessed by his comrade, and both are
robbed at an inn. We are unable to
see why the innkeeper should not be re-
sponsible to the latter as well as the
former. How can it make any difference
in his liability because the n chooses
to wear his gold specimen , in the form
of q pin, and the other carries his in his
purse? Both are entitled to the same
care and protection, and any attempt to
discriminate between the liability Of the
inkeeper for these respective cases leads
to Inconsistencies if not to absurdities."
What is a sufficient amount Of money
to pay travelling expenses is left for the
jury to determine. But if the landlord
accepts the money and undertakes to
keep it in his safe, then he is response.
BILE for the total sum whether large or
small, sufficient or excessive.
