RAILROAD BoXDs.-The Board Of
County Commissioners of 0rmsby
County have entered an order on their
records, directing the issuance of bonds
to the Virginia and Truckes Railroad
Company, in the sum Of two hundred
thousand dollars, in pursuance Of law
passed by the last Legislature-the rail-
road being completed from Carson City
to tho eastern line Of Ormsby County.
We learn these facts from the Appeal Of
this morning, which also says that
George l.. Gibson, a citizen Of Carson,
is about applying to the District Court
for 8 writ of injunction, to test the le-
gality Of the Act Of the Legislature.
The matter may as we'll be tried now as
at any time-as there is 4 triaiug oppo-
.ition of the same kind here in Storey
Countrywide by persons who have
hardly anything to pay taxes upon
such carpet baggcrs, for instance, as
Adolpb Su,ro, whom We heard suggest
opposition to the issuance Of the rail-
road bonds, in a speech at Pipsr's Opera
House, in September last. The appeal
quotes from the State Constitution, and
also comments thereon as follows:
SECTION 10. No county. city, town, or
other municipal incorporation, shall become
n stakeholder in any joint stock company,
corporation or ASSOCIATION whatever, or loan
its credi. in aid Of any company, corporation
or association. except railroad corporations,
companies or associations.
Now, while it would seem that the
Constitution has prohibited the Legis-
lature from passing local and special
laws for the collection aud assessment
Of taxes it has, by iudirection, at least,
given the counties the permission 10
loan their credit to railroad companies,
The relative bearing Of these two points
upon the cause under confederation will
doubtless form important features in the
argument of counsel in the Supreme
Court.

subsequently, entered into by tho Chiefs

have been made. The Chiefs assert
that they cannot raise this sum Of
money, and ask the United States to
pay the claimants, and to hold the
islands as security,

There are many indications that the
people OF. the South are coming to their
senses. The bitterness which has ex-
listed for so many years against Northern
men is gradually dying out among the
better class Of Southeruers, and it is
only the desperadoes, who have little
character to lose, who commit the acts
of violence which come to us by tele-
graph and newspaper report. The tone
Of the public press may generally be
taken as q reflex of the sentiment and
feeling ~psrvading q community, and,
judging by this standard, there is reason
for eongratulatien. The improved SEN
timent to which we refer is we'll illus
tratsd BY Richmond newspapers,
received in the last mail. The Wing
says:
The fact Is, and there is no use IN strug-
Cling against IL, or refusing to acknowledge
it, we are and must be part and parcel Of the
United States Government, either to belong
to it as 4 military district, feeling its power,
or as a State, to DO an integral part OF it,
sharing its power and enjoying its benefits,
The people Of Virginia, with their minds
instructed by four years Of bitter experience,
and with their eyes open, have resolved tina,
they will, as soon as practicable, get back
into the Union as a State. When they sue
coed in doing so, their true policy will be,
not to pull against the Government; not Il
attempt to impair il, but 10 endeavor to i'm
prove and purify it. It is the Government
| that their own sages and heroes helped Il
form. It is the Government under which

The EcUXESIcAL COUNCIL, about to
sit next December, will consider tho
doctrines set forth in the Syllabus at
tached to the Pastoral letter written by
Pope Plus IX, in 1864. The Syllabus,
divided under general heads, contains
eighty specifications Of religious errors
prevailing at the present day, and has
been tho subject Of severe comments.
1t is therefore q matter Of interest to
learn what views in reference to these
points Of religion are entertained by
| prominent members Of the Catholic
Church, and as the latest foreign mails
bring accounts Of a discourse on the
Syllabus, delivered in London on Octo-
Der Sd, by Archbishop Manning, N Of
the most learned and distinguished
Catholic prelates, we give a brief alb.
stract of the ermou Archbishop Man
ming says that if the Pope had confined
himself in the Syllabus simply to iucul-
eating the necessity Of faith and moral
ity in the ordinary personal sense OF the
word, very little would have been heard
in opposition, but because he had
pointed out aud condemned all those
errors in political philosophy, which
were based upon an erroneous system
of morals, the world had been in AN up
roar. The " modern civilization" con-
demusd by the Pope meant, said DR..
Manning, a state Of political society
founded upon divorce, secular sduca-
ton, Infinite divisions and contractions
in matters Of religion, and the absolute
remuneration Of the supreme authority
of the Christian Church. Tho intention
OF the Syllabus, he said further, was to
invite those who had wandered from
Christian civilization to modern civil
~izatiou to return to Christian marriage,
Christian education, Christian unity Of
faith and worship, and Christian sub
mission to him who is pastor Of pastors.
