FILL THE EASTER FONT,

Fill the Easter font with care, .
Heap the roses rich and rare,
Round the stately Gala set
Heliotrope and mignionette;
From their fragrance comes voice
Bidding christian hearts rejoice;
Whispering thro' their lips of bloom
Christ is risen from the tomb.
Angels with their heavenly tone
Mid the sepulchre of stone,
Watching in that fearful shade
Where the crucified was laid,
Saw the mourning few who came
Ere the mornings earliest fame;
Met them with the words of cheer
lie is risen--He is not here"
Blessed Saviour Glorious King!
Deign to take the praise we bring;
And when meath the turf we rest,
With the wild aoyers DER our breast,
May 1t of our souls be said,
They are risen from the dead,
And their Easter Hymn shall be
An undying melody.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6, 1871.
The case OF the Sheriff Jackson, Of Trinity county,
charged with the violation of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments OF the Constitution OF
the United States, by collecting mining tax
from the Chinese, has been argued at
length on demurrer, in the United
States Circuit Court, before Judge Hoffman,
OF the District Court, and Judge Sawyer, of the
Circuit Court. The defence was conducted by At
torney General Hamilton anu associate counsel,
WHO claimed that the amendments could not affect
local taxation or the administration OF justice as to
hold the contrary opinion would imply complete
abolition OF state sovereignty. The point made by
counsel was taken under advisement but the de-
murrer will undoubtedly be overrued. The case
will be tried by jury on Tuesday next.

Failure Of ting Alabama and Chattanooga to
Pay Interest Due their Bonds-The Bonds
Endorsed by the State.
ATLANTA, Ca, ian. 0, 1871.
There is much excitement here in business circles
over the reported failure of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad to pay the January inter
est on their first mortgage bonds endorsed by
the State OF Alabama, and the statement that
the Governor OF Alabama cannot provide for the
payment OF the interest by the State until the Legs
lature meets. The laws Of this State make II the
duty OF the Governor pay the interest endorsed
bonds whenever thelroads fail to pay so that hold
ers of bonds endorsed by the State of Georgia are
sure OF their interest being paid promptly, without
waiting for special legislation.
