merely of e,llogy pronounced by the
Rev. DIR. Hall, who also recited the
Lords Prayer, and an address in Ger
man by the Rev. Mr.. Gardiner. After
the services an opportunity was given
to view the remains, of which many
availed themselves. A procession num-
bering several thousand people, and the
employees of Mr. Roebling to the num-
Der of so, was formed, and proceeded to
the Mercer Cemetery near the railroad
depot. The burial service was here
read by the Rev. Mr.. Stanly, prayer
was offered by the Rev. Mr.. Brown,
and the mortal remains Of John A. Roe
bling were consigned to their last rest
ing place. Although the loss of Mr..
Roebling will be deeply felt all over
the country, it will nowhere be felt so
severely as in Trenton, where his char
acter as private gentlemen was known.
At meeting of the directors and stock
holders of the East River Bridge Com

G. Murphy, were unanimously adopt
ed: .., ...

BILE period, We had learned to appre-
ciate his unsurpassed merits as an en-.
gineer and adviser in our work, and to
admire his eminent genius and virtues
rs a man. In all the qualities which
exalt human nature, he deserved and
had won our unqualified confidence
and esteem. Regarding his death as Q
great loss, we bow with humble sub
mission to the inscrutable ways of NJ
all-wise Providence in taking him from
us in the midst of his usefulness anc
labors.
Resolved, We hereby condole will
his wife and family in the dispensatior
now dealt to them, which deprive'

Mr.. EDITOR Having read with
pleasure, and 1 must say with pride,
the article published in your edition OF
Wednesday, relative to Trinity Church;
and being one of those interested in its
welfare, I cannot let it pass without a
few remarks, and to thank the writer
for his kindly notice. He has not said
one word too much, either of the chapel
OF its Rector, especially the latter, to
whom the congregation feel as much
attached as if he had been with them
for years, and must say, " we know
him but to love him, we name him but
to praise" The increase in our con-
gregation and Sunday School, since he
first came among us, shows too plainly
the estimation in which he is held, and
others who have heard him, speak of
his abilities rs scholar, of his excel
lent reading, and the eloquent and feel
ing manner in which his services are
delivered. Let those who have not
heard him Especially of our own faith)
go and Judge for themselves. Being
nearly one year without Rector, we
have not waited in vain, or too long.
and it seems that an all-wise Provi-
dence has graciously watched over that
''little fock," who on every Sabbath
wendell their way with meek and con-
trite hearts, to pay their devotions, and
sing praises to Him "who doeth all
things we'll" L. H.

your calculations as erroneous and ruin.
Gus. The people are not to be blinded
to the fact that whes the Legislature ap-
propriates money they have it to pay. Let
us argue the question fairly, and coun-
tenance no humbuggery. Why the Con-
stitution expressly requires that no debt
over half a million shall be created with
out proriding in the bill the means of
payment in thirty years. Look at Gen.
Preston's bill, and you will see tax all
through it.
But, you say, the State is to derive an
income from these internal improve
ments. Instance your Paducah and Gulf
Road. Itcost one and a quarter million
dollars, and sold under mortgage for
$3.50, ,000; and McCracken county has
to pay the interest on 100000, she
voted for thirteen years yet, and then
the $500, 900, and we learn there is no
provision made to pay the principal.
The road has never paid even dollar on
the interest-6ut 10 has been paid eUer
since by taxation. Any income in this eh
Yet, the internal improvement men, sfhg

THE KENTUCKY RIVER IapRovEMESTs.-i

ty of the proposed measure, is sustained
by every lawyer of any ability in the
Heralds particular locality, but there
are lawyers of distinguished ability
within the range of our acquaintance,
who agree with us, that the great meas

disregard of the Constitution.

Position of the PaduCah 'sEXen-
tuckian.o


The Paducah KeRtuckian is unduly
sarcastic over an editorial of ours, and
accuses US of mistating its position. We
certainly have no such desire. The de-
ductions of the COURIER were from a
careful reading OF the Kentuckians, and
we think were logical and correct. How
ever, to do ample and full justice, we
publish the Kentuckian'S own statement
of its position, Referring to our article
it says:
"This is the most disingenious statement
Of our POSITION that could have been made,
and but for the high opinion we had con-
ceived OF the editor of the COURIER, would
not be worthy of notice. We said in the
article referred to, !" we endorse all the
Herald saws in regard to the NECESSITY of
State aid, and the benefit to be derived from
it." And we say now, we have never seen
q State with so great natural resources, SO
| far behind in improvements Kentucky is
/ to-day, and she needs all the aid she can get
| from the State or otherwise to develope her
resourees-but in - other article in the
same paper" or in any other paper on
| any other occasion, or at any other ii me,
does the KeatuckidR recommend Kentucky
to create similar debt" On the other hand
our object was TO convince the people of
Kentucky that the Legislature had no power
under the constitution to involve the State
for Internal improvements.
As We have frequently stated in the dis
cussioa of this question, we would be in
favor Of she State lending her credit Emi +
edly 70 railroads, that is to a few great
through-Iine roads that would pay, if the
eonstgi~zn "a did not directly prohibit -

You endorse the necessity and admit
the great benefits to be derived from
State aid, regret the Constitution prohib-
its it, and yet 60 not favor the PROPOSE
ton You are in favor of lending the
! States credit, hn'itedly to railroads,
"that is to few grea. through lines that
would pay" but admit that the Consti.
tuition directly prohibits it, and therefore
acknowledge yourself not in favor OF
that? You fail to urge the calling of {
convention to amend the Constitution
the only way whereby your objectiQni
can be removed, and we must therefor,
conclude you are not in favor of amend
