anything near it. Then why shall they
be valued at the sRme2 Mr.. Ferguson
tells us his "sliding scale " adjusts the
differences. 1t does not, except to a
limited extent. 1. is easy TO take ad-
vantage of Il. The companies can man
ipulate their stock In the markets and
regulate the premium to suit them
selves. For example, the stock of the
Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad Is only
quoted Mt the Baltimore stock board and
but seldom there and we doubt very
much whether its real valuo is ever rep
resented by tho quotations in the
Baltimore papers. The main stem
of the road, in West Virginia, accord
ing to tho statement of the Company,
cost nearly SIS, 600, this being
about sec. 600 mile. We have tho au-
thority OF the Company's own reports
for saying that for uine years up to 1854
this road earned on the capital invested
In it Chat is on its actual cost an aver.
age net profit OF IL per centum. We
have no reports since. We think 1t
fair therefore TO say that 1t is worth It's
cost, and being worth 1t, that is the
value to be ta1ed--or as near that worth
as other property is valued. Now there
is difference CT So. 900 between that
and Mr.. Ferguson's figures, or about
20 per cont, yet the premium the
stock is about .25 and would not
be that very long we suspect
If it regulated the assessments,
How IN the other hand would such a
valuation apply to the Hempfield Rail-
roud? We cannct state what it cost or
what is its present value. But both
are so lar below SIS. 900 4 mile that the
sliding scale or that sum will not reach
far enough down 10 fit it. 1t will not
do, in ourjudsment, to establish any
fixad sum on the value OF nil roads, for
no sliding scale that can be devised,
much less that proposed, will adjust it
to the true value OF each, The value of
each road. we lako it, must he nscer-

there are plenty OF ways by which this

III regard TO the constitutional"
question whether the legislature has

ton, we don't venture farther just at
present. And whether having the
power, it would be polite to do so, is
still further along than we have space
now to pursue the topic.

To the Merchants, Manufacturers and

Professional men of Pulaski.
We ask you to read and consider the fol-
loving article from the Nashville Banner.
The growth and prosperity of the news
papers Of a town are mainly due to the in
telligent patronage of its business men.
The shrewdest and most intelligent of bust
ness men have habit of advertising their
wares and find profit 10 it in two ways
first, 10 direct returns from customers at
tracted by the advertisements. and, second,
in the general advantage of better repre-
sentation abroad than could be expected of
newspapers less handsomely supported.
The newspaper is, after all, the real index
of the public spirit and enterprise of the
community in which it exists It is the
measure Of what they are willing TO pay for
early information and for a correct repre-
sentation Of their special isterests. Wheth-
er they realize it or not it is their repre-
sentative abroad, their ambassador to other
communities, and SO far as the general esti-
nation is able to affect their growth Orcon-
dition, so far the reflex influence of the
newspaper is felt at home. Let one horse
scrubby looking newspaper be sent into the
country to your customers, and there will
gain an impression at once unfavorsble to
the locality where it is printed ,saa - en-
they trade it will be elsewhere. gg5 in
order that good newspaper may be pub
lished, it must receive support, and that
support is not so much in subscrinsion as
in advertising. We say this nj paren,
thetically. and in a small talkin. ay, that
our citizens and the business men of this
and adjoining counties may see that while
it is our interest to have them adver-
tise, it is really more for their interest to
support first class paper in their midst by
advertising.
Home patronage can ssOne build UP a
newspaper, enabling it to enlarge its value
and extend its sphere, and that when so en-
larged in point of usefulness and influence,
it becomes a source of actual good to the
community al large. Hence, We urge our
people to keep their money at home, to try
aud make their home press answer their

and fifteen or twenty professional men, be-
sides the numerous shops and saloons, in
Pulaski. who are benefited by the publica-
ton of local newspaper, who contribute
nothing TO its support, by advertising their
business.
We have reduced our rates in order tc
induce these friends to give US their pat
ronage and assistance; we know they feel in
terested in the success Of paper here. We
know further that they are bene fitted by the
same, and we know, and they ought tc
know, that it would benefit them still more
if they would advertise v It'll US, and there
by make themselves known, and at the same
time enable US to improve and enlarge anc

Very little is being done in this body
now. The Senate bill embodying the fol-
lowing provisions passed third reading on
Tuesday:
To repeal an act giving grand juries dis
cretionary power to make a Presentment
on drunkenness, and giving any grand ju-
ror the right to present an indictment
against any Clerk or deputy, Sheriff or
deputy, Register or deputy, Coroner, Jail
er, Trustee, Justice of the Peace or Sur
yeyor for drunkenness, and that no prose-
cutor is necessary in such cases, and on
conviction said person shall be removed
from office. and also making it an indieta-
bic offense for any person to get drunk pub
liely and use vulgar and profane language.
Mr.. Bean-introduced bill fixing the
legal rate of interest in this State at seven
per cent per annum, aud allowing stipu-
lated interest at an rate not greater than
twelve per cent. Passed first reading and
referred to Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Bowles. from the Judiciary Com
mittee, returned the bill to prevent disfran !.
chised rebels from practicing law in the
Courts of this State.

The Evil-The Remedy.

The N. Y. Times is drawing very dis
nal, (but truthful as il is dSaAlal picture
of the now alarming condition sf the south,
growing out of the failure of the cotton
crop, the imroyerishing of the farmers,
with the discomfort and decentralization of
the "freedmen"-especially as set forth
in Gen. GIlem's recent official report to
Gen. Ord. of Mississippi. The editor
seems to see no remedy, save in the action
of Congress. There indeed the remedy
does lie,--but it is idle to expect that the
Rump, with which the country is just now
saddled, car ever be got to apply it. When
a Congress can be got to legislate for the
ehole country, (and not for part of it,
only, we ahall begin to see a9 escape from
our present tribulations. bit not before.

no orders to Stanton. and the latter can is
sue no orders by the Presidents authority
1t is alleged that at the Cabinet meeting
Friday, the members compared notes as to
what took place at the meeting on Tuesday
when Grant was present. and they agree
that Grant admitted the correctness of the
Presidents statement Of an agreement bet
wsen himself and Mr.. Johnson, viz, that
Grant would hold on to the Office, or give
him timely notice to enable him to appoint
another Secretary. The President express
sed himself Friday in the most positive
manner respecting the revolutionary meas
ures now being put through Congress-
If Congress SO enacts as to deprive him of
any portion of his constitutional authority,
the Executive, who was as directly elect
ed BY and as directly represents the Peo-
pie as Congress does, may be expected to
resist such enoroaohment with all the pow
er at his command. His right ard duty
as Commander-in-C Chief of the army, Of
which it is proposed to deprive him in the
pending reconstruction measures, are
among the chief preFogatives which Mr..
johnson will consistently defand.

WAsH1RGToN, Jan. 20.-The New York
WorZd's correspondent, in personal inter
view with the President to-day, elected
the following from the Executive That as
President of the United States he was
bound by cath TO administer the Govern
ment according to the Constitution he
had, By defending principle, found him
self singularly opposed by another branch
of the Government. but be had faith in the
good sense of the people, and modification
of sentiment ensuing the Radicals have
made Congress political monstrosity, hav-
ing overleaped all bounds some of these
of party and political ambition. IF they
now keep on by conquest in the South this
year, they will manage to obtain power
more than equivalent to that lost in the
North He then referred to an effort made
to connect him with the assassination plot,
and said that the leaders we're capable of
employing any measures 10 get rid of him
or shear away his power the measure in
Congress he said was revolutionary. The
proposition to deprive, by act of Congress,
the vested authority of the President as
Commander-in-C Chief, is a direct violation
Of the Constitution. The bill submitted by
Mr.. Bingham assumes the right of Con-
gSess to do away with the President al
together fit choose, and makes itself ex-
ecutOr as well as legislator Government
assumption is arrogant, dangerous and
destructive. II there had been a liberal.

ed that if every district commander ia the
South should be changed to department
commanders, with duties confined to as

~ civil Government would be rapidly
aud peacefully restored. In his iudg-
ment the speedy result of this would be the
reorganization of the whole country. But
it appears as if Congress is determined not
to allow this happy eonsummatiOn. A
revolution such as those headstrong spirits
are still determined to precipitate, may
have. if suffered to go on, an effect more
dangerous than civil war Responding
to the intimation that he was understood to
intend to exercise all authority vested in
him to repel these revolutionary measures.

duty. AS to what that duty may involve,
