Congressional Control Of Railroads

The House COMMITTEES on Roads
and Canals have been Tor long time
engaged, under an order ofthe House
considering the question whether
Congress has power under the con
stitnt;on to provide by law for the
regulation aud control Of railroads,
and especially there extending thro
several states, so as TO secure, irst,
safety OF passengers second, uniform
and equitable rates of fare third,
uniform and equitable charges for
freight transportation of property !;
fourth, proper connections with each
other as to transportation of passen>
gers and freight, and, through Mr..
Cook, has just made and elaborate
report. They come to the conclusion
that Congress has power to provide
by law for the regulation Of COM
merce among the states of the us,
and that railroads are the instru-
ments 10 secure the safety OF passen-
gers, and such regularity and system
in running arrangements and con-
nectlons,as 10 secure the most prompt
transportation of passengers and
freight; but has Lot power to legis
late IN relation to railroads which do
not form parts ofcontinuous lines ex
tending from one state to another
They also hold that Congress has
power To regulate the rates Of fare or
charges over any portion ofsuch con
tinuous lines, but are not now pre-
pared to report bill for the want of
the necessary information on the sub
jects embraced in the resolution to

kU-KLUX WoRsTED IN FIGHT
WITH NEGROES. - The Nashville, Ten
nessee, Banner obtained information,
on Thursday night. Of bloody and
alarming collision between the color
ed people and Ku-Klux in the neigh
borhood Of Chapel Hill, Marshall Co.
Tennessee. 1t seems that on Mon
day night eight or ten men, disguised
as Kn,Klnx, called at the residence
ofan old negro, took him out Of his
house, and commenced to whip him
in the usual style, when, to their ut
ter amazement, they were fred upon
and several Of their number wounded.
They fed, and the old man returned
to his home. The next day a COM
pany of negroes armed themselves
with the avowed purpose of putting
an end to Ku-Klux outrages, hearino
which fourteen whites sailed out Of
Chapel Hill armed, and in pursuit of
the negroes. After diiligent search,
they came unexpectedly upon them
in ravine, when regular battle
was fought. Four or five of the
whites are reported killed. The loss
of the negroes, who appear to have
had the best Of the fight, is unknown.
The stage>driver, who reached Nash
vile, Friday night late, reports that
when he left, runners were out to
secure reinforcements for the Ku>
Klux and a bloody fight was expected
Friday.

Austria's plea that he signed The laws

native to quitting his throne, and has
forgiven him. He says that the EN-

he determines to take advantage of
the first opportunity to abrogate
such of the DEGREES as are contrary

Before signing the acts, the Emperor

of his people to break his engage

great satisfaction at the change,
the noncolIection of the whiskey tax,
and the failure to punish the most
glaring cases of fraud, having become
notorious. The Chicago Journal
says:
"General Corse held his ground
most CALAMITY, when there were two
rebels to one against him. How he
will succeed with ten rascals to one
against him, may be more difficult,
but if he does not make honesty the
rule and dishonesty the exception in

Corse will collect the revenue-that
we are sure of-and if he does not
punish the thieves that have been
plundering the Government, it will
be because he cannot catch them"

The Democrat journals are greatly
exercised about Gen. Grants speech
es, and predict disaster to the coun-
try in the election of man who (thcy
say) cannot make glittering ora
ton. One OF these carping critics is

tor Of the Louisville Courier, the chief
Pendleton Democratic organ OF Ken>
lucky Editor Buckner sharply re-
views Grants style and ideas, and
thinks he won't do, But Mr.. Buck.
ner possibly may remember one little
speech or composition Of Gen. Grant
i was as follows
HEADQUARTERS AIRY IN THE FIELD,
Camp Donelson, Feb ID, 1867.
To Gen SOB BacIzer, Confederate Array:
Yours Of this date proposing armistce and ap
pontment of commissioners to settle terms of capit
iation is received No other terms than immediate and
unconditional surrender be reeerea. propose TO
Immediately upon your tSorks am sir, very
pectfully, your obedient servant,
Brig. Gen U. S A. commanding.
General Buckner called these terms
nngenerous and uncivil, BIT made
haste to accept them. For once at least
be clearly com pretended Gen, Grants
style.
Some time afterward Gen. Grant
was visited in his camp before Vicks-
burg by General Penn berton, who
was anxious 10 know on what terms
that city could be relieved from a
siege just then pending. Here are the
speeches
Pemberton-" Graut meet yoa in order to
arrange terms for capitulation. What terms 10 you
demand p
Grant" Unconditional Surrender.
Observation-Disclosures surrender Never, SO
long as have man left me. will fight rather
Grant-"yeiy WELL
But Gen. Pemberton reflected lit.
tie, and as soon as the full force of
Gen. Grants briefspeech became clear
to his mind, he, too, made haste to
comply.
Again, on the road to Richmond,
after the battle CT Spottsylvania
Court House, Geo. Grant INDUCED in
little speech in these tolerably clear
words:
we have now ended the sixth day of very heavy
yor Iproposs to fght Il out on this
lane If ii takes all summer"
We believe General Lee was in no
doubt as to the meaning Of this
speech. If he was, those doubts were
settled by the next, which we shall
quote Of General Grants speeches.
The scene this time is at Appomatox
Court House:
81 propose to receire the Surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia upon the following terms"
We need not quote the terms. 1t
is enough to say that Gen. Lee very
clearly understood them, and lost no
time in complying.

Mr.. COVER On one Of Mays
fairest days | visited Oak Ridge
Cemetery, where rests in hope the
earthly remains of Abraham Lincoln.
Although his tomb is visited by
thousands every year, | had the sat-
isfaction of spending half an honr
there alone. The tomb is on eleva-
ted ground, with little pathway
leading up to it from the ,avine be-
low, through which runs little muir
muring brook. The tomb itself is
grass covered mound faced with
brick. There is no inscription tell
ing the visitor where the sleeper iv
ed, or what he was, only the single
word Lincoln is engraved upon the
marble door that bars the entrance,
and that is enough. What history
is associated with that name. In
ages to come, pilgrims from every
land will come to stand by the grave
of the man who gave liberty to a
race, and saved a nations life.
By the side of Michigan's blue wa>
tiers, on the frontier of the Garden
State, sleeps one whose voice often
rang in Legislative and Senatorial
halls, one who was the leader of
great party. He rests in death, not
in the geographical heart OF his State
or country, nor yet in the great low
ing heart of his State and nation; not
so with Lincoln, the patriot, the
friend of the slave, the honest man
whose heart beat with charity to all,
and with malice to none, not so with
Lincoln the loved and honored mar
tyr; his murdered body not only
lies in the material heart of this
great State and nation, but his mem
DRY, his acts, Lincoln himself, is en-
shrined in the hearts of the American
people, and the great heart of the
nation will ever love to hold in lis
hottest center the name and memory
of Abraham Lincoln Douglas la
bored TO exalt himself Lincoln To
exalt the right.

may be said to run from 10 to so
cents per gallon. The last figure is
remunerative the first. is not, even
to those most advantageously cir
cumstanced. A vineyard in full
bearing on favorable soils may yield
500 gallons the average acre. These
lands cost 5000 an acre by the time
they arc old enough to yield so large.
The annual cost of cultivation and
gathering is estimated at $40 per
acre. The heavy cost of the wine
business consists in the care of the
wine from the time it comes from the
press until it is in condition to
sell. For a vineyard of thirty to
fifty acres quite capital is required
