Louisville and Nashville railroad


Hon. James Guthrie has resigned the
Presidency Of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad Company, and Russell
Houston, Esq, formerly of Nashville,
Vice President, succeeds him. The
Journal says the resignation OF Mr..
Guthrie was rendered inevitable by his
Ill health. OF his successor, the Journal
remarks:
AIR. Houston, as Vice President OF the
company, has displayed managerial abil-
tiles OF the very highest order. He has
the unqualified Endorsement of the Di-
rectory, and the full confidence Of the
stockholders and the people generally.
Although but comparatively a short
time resident In Kentucky, Mr.. Houston
is welt and favoTably known. His almost
lifelong connection lin TENNESSEE with
the road, of whose affairs he now assumes
control, has rendered him signally fit for
the place. 1t seems almost prepOsterous
70 suppose that aBy one could be found
competent TO perform the difficult duties
OF this high Office with anything like the
satisfaction afforded by Mr.. Houston's
predecessor. Yet Mr.. HOuston's very
association with Mr.. Guthrie has quail
ned him for the Presidency, and we pre-
dict that his administration will be en-
Mghtened, prOgre ssive, and in every Tav

1st, The Conservative men Of Tonnes
see, putting aside ali questions decided
by the war, accept the title Of Demo
Gratis and formally unite themselves
with the Democratic party Rs 1t now
exists.
20. The question of the right of
State 70 secede from the Union has been
decided by arms, and that decision
should be accepted rs final and conclu-
sive.
81. Nevertheless, while the COnstitu
ton makes the Federal Government su-
preme, 1t is so only with well defined
limitations and restrictions, leaving the
States large rights and powers over their
domestic concerns, sud making them CO.
equal in respect Of such rights and
these rights have not been impaired by
the result of the war, or the powers of
the General Government sggrsndizes
by it, to the enlargement Of public
liberty.
4th. The extinguishment OF Africsn
Slavery is recognized as q fact, ratified
by binding Constitutional Amendment.
5th. The investiture of negrOeswith the
right Of suffrage, by the Congress Of the
United States, ana the Acknowledgement
Of white men, By the same authority, is
q gross usurpstiOn of power, and policy
unjust, unwise and oppressive, and tend
ing to excite q war OF races; the white
men of America are entitled TO superb
ority and supremacy in the administra-
ton Of the Federal and State govern
ments; and any measure intended to
deprive them Of it, or to divide or impair
IL, greatly endangers the perpetuity Of
free republican institutions.
9th. The faith OF the nation is pledged
70 the payment Of the national debt,
according 10 the terms of the laws under
which the bonds were issued, and not
otherwise. The time of payment of the
bonds ought not to be extended; the
principal Of the five-twenty bonds ought
TO be paid in currency, and the money
granted to the National banks TO be with
drawn.
7In. The Government bonds should be
taxed in the hands of the bOndholders,
equally with other property.
9Th. The doctrines and practices Of the
Radical party, which endesvoTs, by en-
crosching upon the powers Of the EXecu- I
tive and Judicial branches of the Gov /
eminent, to absorb in the Legislative /
Department all powers, tend to the de-

iOus or political; peace, commerce and .

taDgliDg alliances with none; the sup
port of the State Governments in all

PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, June l8.-The boat
race for the championship of America
took place to-day. The first race was
between Brown and Tyler. They started
from the upper stske-bost at 2 o'clock
and went down tbs river two and a half
miles and returned. Tyler came in
about half q boat length ahead.
The great race between Hamill and
Coulter commenced about p.B. They
started from the upper stske-bost, and
Hamill led Coulter slightly at the start,
but after proceeding down half mile,
from some reason at present unknown,
their boats collided and both upset.
Coulter righted his boat and proceeded
around the course. Hsmill was picked
up by boat in the vicinity and brought
back to the starting point. The referees
will have to decide whether the fouling
was done purpOsely or not.
