Lawlessnoss.

The heart grows sick, and the hoal
reels, to think, how constitutional lib
crty has been sacrificed to tho idea
that "thc will of tho majority should
be tho law Of tho land" And this
revolution has boon objected by tho
party now IN power, whose war-cry
has all along been "the equal rights Of
,aN men," but whose whole history 10
oone of disregard for tho rights Of mt.
,snorittcs. In our generation, in other
words, not truo republicanism which
isgoyornmcht by both tho majority
and minority, aud whose osscnso it is
to guard tue weak and protect minori-
ties, to curb tho strong and restrain
majorities, but radical democracy, or
a simple jolity-goyommont, is tri-
.nmphant,.not only in tho United State,
but inevery country 'in'Europc. Andy

whioh he himself fell a victim, and it

Jobbing at the Capital,

The Charleston We,Ds contains a
revelation of the introduction into
South Carolina, upon a really impos.
ing scale, Of tho hitherto unknown
Yankee operation Of. ,"'jobbing,", by
Dr.. r. X. SCOTT of Ohio. 1t seems
that DR.. Scott has, for some %time,
thought it expedient and salntary TO
bleed the State, through the vein
known as the, Blue Ridge Railroad.
He, therefore, thrust in his guberna-
material lancet last winter, "by and
with the consent and"--obedience (for
wo cannot say authority Of the Legis,
lature, and extracted life.b blood to tho
extent Of four millions of dollars
- a pretty considerable quantity
of vital fluid, through one railroad
vein, at one solitary bleeding! But
the Doctor has further designs. He has
since consulted with Crisswell g. Co.,
Of Now York, and these gentlemen
have given their medical opinion, that
the patient is suffering from excess Of
vitality, and that nothing short Of
extracting nine millions Of dollars
will reduce her to normal condition
of health, as understood by doctors
of the radical school, and as seen in
the financial condition of many Of. her
sister Northern State. 3 DR.. Scott
agrees with them, which is very bad
sigu, sinco, when doctors agree, the
patient is usually about to die. He
has, accordingly, unsheathed his CUB,
ernatorial lancet again, and simply
awaits "tho consent and" -- obedi
ence of the Legislature, to plunge II
into the State, and to bleed her to the
extent of nine millions, to complete
tho Bluo Ridge Railroad. And he
has given,the contract to build it, q,
nine millions, to Crisswell Il Co.
when it is evident from the testimo
ny, that other parties just as trust
worthy, wore willing to build il fo1
seven millirn five hundred thousant
doliar"! l,.cumrarablc Dr.. Scott!
Tho additional million and o hal
will be used, doubtless, next winter
to somo extent at loast, in largesses tt
our inoorruptiblo Legislators, and W,
are so far their fricnd as to hop,
that they, and especially the negroes
will hold their votes high, and not 10
DR.. Scott keep more than million 0
it himself. Every oounty.town in tn
State ought to be imbellished by ATM
store,or elegant residence, from the pro
oeods of this extraordinary opportu
nifty. Opposition to tho extent o
apparent obstinacy, long argument
final conviction, and vote in til,

again auow. Howbeaatifulr the COCA
sion! A young man of fair intellect
and no ordinafy.,@foroo Of character,
combined With modest simplicity, Of
gentle and winning sympathies, whose
boyhood had been bright land pure,
and whose whole life blameless almost
to the extent of faultlessness, PROSTATE,
in deep humility, before his Maker,
dedieating hisslife to his His service,
wlhiloo his soul is lifted by the success
siye petitions Of that comprehensive
prayer. and its closing Thanksgiving,
as if by the waves Of some resistless

Bishop, then, lays his hands upon him,
and soonserates him for his labor of
love. p a7 lHcg ,T'f eH y Hai s45

Bishop consecrating to the service of
| God the Hrst Southern church, burnt
during the war, which has been ro.
built. The sermon on this. occasion
was really powerful effort, which
boldly stepped, carrying conviction
along with it, over much eontroverted
ground. The allusion by the speaker,
the Rev. WIN. P. DuBose, to his per-
sonal connection with the community.
and congregation, was tasteful, appro-
pirate and touching. This discourse,
suppose, is to be printed. It cer-i
tainly is worthy of publication

Pollard's Life Of Jefferson Davis. ~
Us We don't say "so.culled," for he
was as much the President of the Con-
federacy as Grant is of the so-called
United States $ and q great deal more
of o President than any who have oo-
oupied that chair for many long
years. |NEhg ''"S-.
,'"But We are to talk about Pollard's
book, for some additional advance
sheets of which we are indebted to
tho publishers. Tho author is good
writer one whose works will always
find readers.
The interest Of tho narrative is ad.
mirably sustained, and tho style re-
markably even. He writes of the
times and events deeply interesting to
every friend Of Southern civilization,
and a cause over. the loss of which
every Southern patriot!and Christian
mourns.a Such Ia theme in the hands
Of such q writer must Of necessity at
tract many readers.
We differ however from Mr.. Pol
lard in his estimate of the character of
President Davis and the people of
tthe, confederacy. If'he has given us
q correct history Of tho Confederacy,
it is not cnly q revelation, but q terri
bio exposure of the villainy and igno.
rance Of the Southern people. It
proves them utterly incapable Of self
government and pn6S for ordinary
civilization. But Mr.. Pollard is at
fault and not the whole Confederate
States. He is incapable of dealing
with the men and the facts Of tho
late Confederate, Government as an
impartial historian. : Ep.
The book will soon be published
and every one can judge for himself.

SETTLED. We learn that 4 settlement of the
claim OF West Virginia against the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tor back taxes has been had.
The amount Of assessments against the road
amounted, as We arc informed, TO 5000
Under the resolution passed by the West \ If.
ginia Legislature last winter, compromise has
been reached the road paying 1000. This
sum will fall into the State treasury quite OPP
portunoIy. 4 handsome amount OF cash,
which had not been looked for so soon, will fail
into the treasurcr's Golfers, and all financial
troubles will he cfec,ually provided against. -
Wheeling Register.
Whethcr the figures, as given By the Regis
ter, in the above case arc exactly correct, we
cannot say. But in any event, the settlement
Of this issue with the State Of West Virginia
has no bearing on the other case, involving the
question OF the right Of local taxation Of the
railroad By counties and towns in that State,
which is now pending, and which was heard
only last week on the question OF jurisdiction,
before the 4. S. Circuit Court at Parkersburg,
Chief Justice Chase and Judge Jackson pre-
siding. The company admits the right ct gen
eral taxation by the State upon Its property
when earning six per cent. on the amount 1t
has invested within the State, but denies the
power, wholly, to collect local taxes. As the
two Judges were divided in opinion en- til c
question Of jurisdiction in the case before them,
they agreed to transfer it to the Supreme
