be TOO highly praised, and which have eE-
titled him frequently, ip the past, to the
approval and oommendation of the stock
holders of his company. President Magrath
has been the life Of the South Carolina
Railroad Company, and is now the head
and front Of its usefulness. Never forget
ting the interests of his company; never
disregarding the interests of his State, he
has worked steadily and manfully to make
his company as profitable to it's owners as
it is undoubtedly advantageous to our peo-
pie. Litigation is always distasteful to the
practical railroad man. But it has so hap
pened that President Magrath has been
forced into the courts to vindioate and pro-
teot the rights which he represents. This
suit is now, we believe, at an end and
knowing as we do the manner in which it
was begun, and in which it was carried OF,
we are justified in saying, that the settle
ment accepted by President Magrath is, for
his shareholders and the public, the best
that it was possible to have made.
So the war is over. And now there
should be no antagonism of railroad inter
ests, or railroad management. One more
obstacle to the progress and prosperity of
our State has been swept away, and Au-
gusta and Charleston again join hands.

ONE Interesting phase OF American life
abroad is portrayed with good deal of shad-
ing in a letter printed in the New York Evening
Post from German lady whose works have
been translated and widelyread in this country.
She gives the results of her observation in
Dresden, whither a goodly number Of Ameri-
can mothers have since the war taken their
daughters to be educated. To the astonish-
ment Of German wives and mothers, who can
not understand how domestic ties can be 80
lightly broken, these American ladies leave
their husbands behind. "America," she writes,
'has been called among US the Paradise of
swomen but our German women no longer
'envy them this paradise. in which Adam
'could do without Eve. In consequence,
"these roaming ladies', who prefer pleasure to
sduty. are looked upon with sort of contempt
"that hos fallen as shadow on q great ma
s'tion."
The quality of the education given to Ameri-
can children also excites the establishment oil
of these practical and painstaking German
mothers. The children are impressed with the
belief that in Germany culture comes by inspi-
ration, and that whatever requires effort and
selt-sacridce is not worthy Of them. Costly
dresses, extravagant entertainments, and op-
portunities for flirting are provided to keep
them in good humor. The mothers have re-
ceptioD days and state festivities. They have
Raiis, rartias and masquerades. They 20 To
court and make themselves conspicuous.
When spring comes-as the hart panteth for
the wster brook-they fly to the watering
places, to Italy, Switzerland, anywhere for
change. Of course, under these influences,
American children are the despair of German
teachers. and the mothers themselves lose the
opportunity If helping them by sighting the
overtures Of cultivated German society.
One moro bitter plum from this letter is that
in which the writer accounts in brief for the
alleged unpopularity of Americans abroad.
They do not feel like reciprocating kindness.
They say as Frederick the Great said Of Vol
taire. II squeeze the orange and then throw
''away the rind." But voltaire never forgave
having been squeezed, Notwithstanding king
had done him the honor, and "the Germans do
mot like to be squeezed, though Americans
"do them the honor"

Bramhall acting a. secretary. 8. W. Tllton,
Of New York, Mr.. Hulburt, Of Fairfax, and
Mr.. z. z. White, Of this city, were elected
MEMBER OF tho association. A resolution
70 amend the constitution Of the associa-
tion so - TO enable fruit growers from Mary
land and the Dlstrict Of Columbia to become
members was adopted. Philip Myers was
elected treasurer for the remainder Of tho
the delegation to the American genealogical
society, made . long, able, and interesting
report, for which he received . vote Of
thanks. The Chair then gave an account OF
the late fairs he had attended In the North.
The association then adjourned until Decem-
Der l, when 1t will reAssemble at tho Friends
meeting house 10 this city.
An ADJOURNED MEETING Of the Board Of
Directors Of the Alexandria Canal Company
was held this morning In the chamber OF
the Board Of Aldermen, the president Of the
company, W. J. Boothe, In the chair, and
2. q. Uhler, the clerk, acting as secretary.
The other members present were Messrs.
Benz amin Barton, l.. b. Taylor and ]. D.
Smoot. The contract between the National
Junction Railway Company and the lessees
Of the Alexandria Canal, for the building Of
4 railroad bridge upon the piers Of the canal
aqueduct, at Georgetown, was confirmed,
amer which the meeting adjourned.
CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT was created
about o'clock last night, by the exploits Of
a COW, TO whose tall was tied some old tin
ware. She dashed madly up Prince street TO
Columbus, up Columbus to King, and down
King to Washington, up which she was
going at headlong speed, followed by mot
ley crowd OF whooplng and yelling boys,
when last seon by those who had been col
lectcd by the din at the Intersection Of that
street with kingj but the clamor she made
was heard by them for long time after she
had gone beyond the range Of their vision.
In lsls, when the Chesapeake i. and Ohio
canal was nrst opened, only Zoo tons OF
coal were mined ct Cumberland; at the close
H business last year over 800 900 tons
were shipped, and the trade this year at the
same period will have reached from GOO, 900
TO 100000. On Monday next the new Board
OF Directors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal will reach Georgetown from Cumber-
land on tour Of observation. The 9Th day
Of December, the day determined upon for
drawing of the water, Is from ten to ffteen
days earlier than usual; but as the order
has been Issued II may not be revoked. The
regulations about observing the Sabbath, IL
Is thought, ought 10 be repealed; for, besides
reducing the canal company's receipts from
&35, 900 To $4,000 annually, 1t effects no
good, because the boatmen who otherwise
might DO usefully employed spend that day
In playing cards snd dopredatlng on farmers
along the route Of the canal.
