X, THE correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette, writes from Washing
ton that "a bill now pending in the
House shows cOnclusively the design
to place the whole subject of uoting
under Congressional control. Bisdn-
ot5er step in the direction Of central
lied despotism. 1t provides that no
citizen of the United States shall be
required to write, print or place his
name on any ballot, or to do anything
WhereEy the identity or nam of any
person casting The ballot maybe kaoaCn /.
and, further, makes the printing or
writing of voters name on the out
side of the ballot punishable by a fine
of one thousand dollars and one
months imprisonment. If Congress
assumes power to enact such a law as
this, it may well be asked what they
can not do in the way of interfering in
State elections. In simple truth we
are already living under an o~ligarchy
of unlimited power. The revolution is
an accomplished fact"

WE are pleased to be able to an
ncunce, en- the authority of Colonel
E H. Porter; that contracts have been
closed with Messrs. Geo. ". Smith e.
Co, for the completion of the great
Memphis and st. Louis Railroad,
which is to develop the rich resources
of Arkansas and pour untold wealth
into the lap of this city. Colonel Por-
ter is a man that keeps his own coun-
sells and depends more on what he
accomplishes than on many high
sounding promises for serving the
public and winning the public appro-
baton. We had almost forgotten
there was such a road. But, early
and late and while we slept, he has
been quietly and persistently pursu-
ing his purpose at home and abroad
for months, and now he is ready to
begin the work, sure enough, and go
on to its accomplishment, Colonel J..

days he Will fully complete his
arrangements for active operations in
the field of his labors. The contract
ors, Messrs. Smith d Co., with their
families are also already on the ground,
and will make this city their residence
until the road is completed. General
Ed. w. Serrell, the engineer-in-chief,
is now in charge of the Housatonic,
and formerly of a portion of the Pan
anna road. 1t will be remembered that
this Memphis and st. Louis Road is,
by the terms of its charter, to be a

WE received yesterday a {" free re-
ligion 4" paper called the Inder, pub
lished at Toledo, Ohio. Looking over
its pages, we found a letter to the ed
itor from one of LincOln's intimate
friends from 1924 till the day of his
death, named Herndon, an Illinois
man, who has, we believe, written a
life of the late President. 1t is in re-
spouse to a letter from the editor, ask
ing information as to Lincoln's relig-
ious views, and is headed, Abraham
Lincoln's Religion" and is dated
February IS, 1870. A paragraph or
two may prove interesting.-Macon
Telegraph and Messenger.
Says the writer:
When MI. Lincoln was a candidate
for Our Legislature, he was accused of
being an inhdel, and of having said
that Jesus Christ vas an illegitimate
child; he never denied his opinions,
nor hinched from his religious views:
he was a true man, and yet it may be
truthfully said that, in 1897, his reIi-
giOn was low, indeed. In his mo-
ments of gloom he would doubt, if
he did not sometimes deny, God. He
made me one erase the name of God
from a speech which l was about to
make in 1854, and he did this in the
city OF Washington to one of his
friends.
Mr.. Lincoln ran for Congress against
the Rev. Peter Cartwright, in the year
lS47 or l84S. In that contest he was
accused of being an infdel, if not an
atheist; he never denied the charge
would not" DO09d die .frst;'" in the
first place because he knew it could
and would be proved on him; and in
the second place he was too true to
his w convictions, to his own soul,
TO deny it. From what | knoW of Mr..
Lincoln, and from what l have heard
and verify believe, l can say: first,
that he did not believe in
a special creation, his idea
being that all creation was an evoIu-
ton under law; secondly, he did not
believe that the Bible was a special
revelation from God, as the Christian
world contends; thirdly, he did not
believe in miracles, as understood by
the Christian world; fOurthly, he be-
lieved in universal inspiration and
miracles under law; filthy, he did not
believe that Jesus was the Christ, the
Son Of God, as the Christian world
contends; sixthly, he believed that all
things, both matter and mind, We're
governed by laws, universal, absolute
and eternal.
do not remember ever seeing the
words Jesus, or Christ, in print, as ut
tered by Mr.. Lincoln. If he had used
these words, they can be found. He
uses the word God but seldom. Inev-
er knew him use thename of Christ or
but to confute the idea that he
was tie Christ, the only and truly be-
Son Of God, as the Christian
world understands it. The idea that
Mr.. Lincoln carried the New Testa-
ment or Bible in his bosom or boots.
70 draw on his opponent in debate, is
ridiculous.

IT is expected Congress will soon
act on the subject of the telegraph
question. A Washington dispatch
says: "The committee of the House
at last, after two or three moRths dis
eussion on the subject of a Govern
ment system of telegraph, has agreed
to report a bill, which, in effect, pro-
vides for the purchase of the existing
lines, and places them under the Gov
eminent control, prohibiting at the
same time any other lines from being
worked by private parties or corpora
lions. 1t proposes to connect the
lines with all postofices, and provides
for a cheap rate for messages. A sim
liar bill is pending in the Senate. 1t
is believed that the House is opposed
to the proposed system, but it is not
safe to declare this positively" 1t is

AN application has been made to
the City Board by petition from a
number of mercantile firms praying
the appointment of a City Weigher,
whose compensation shall be fixed
and collected from merchants and
eonsignees. The merchants know
what they want, and, if NJ especial
injury is to accrue to others, we are at
a loss to see why their wishes should
not be consented to. The weigher,
giving suitable security, and being
sworn to faithfulness, they think his
appointment would facilitate business
operations, do away with disputes,
and remove all prejudice from the
want of a system of uniform and cor
rect weighing, wh@h is common to
other cities, and, they insist, neces-
sary to this. Their plan will not be
costly to the city, when they are made
to foot the bills. But a correspondent
in another column objects that it will
interfere with the perquisites of the
City Inspector, and that the Su-
preme Court of the State has "de-
clared there shall be no voluntary in
spectiOn, - but when or in what case he
has not stated. What the inspector
is not now weighing he cannot be de-
prived of, and the decision of the
court, if any such there is, refers to
inspection, according TO his statement,
and not to weighing. The court does
not legislate. 1t may have affirmed
that cities cannot appoint additional
officers after having exhausted their
power in the appointment of one.
But what else our correspondent a
to we do not see. And this
hardly applies to the present PROPOSE
ton, which is to appoint a weigher,
and not to appoint another inspector.
Whether the city has the power, can
be ascertained from its charter. And
whether TO exercise it should depend
on the wishes of the merchants and
the advantages likely to accrue. What
these are we do not pretend to decide.
