THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT
WESTERN CANAL

The Augusta "Constitutionalist"
says:
"This great project prefgures the
coming alliance between the West
and the South which is to restore
the latter to her legitimate influence
in the Union. 1t is gratifying to
see the new delegation from Geor-
gia signalling the new reconstruc-
ton by propositions involving great
material results. The bill introduc-
ed by Mr.. Price, of the Sixth Dis
trict, asks an appropriation OF ten
millious acres of the public lands to
aid in connecting the waters Of the
Gulf of Mexico and of the Atlantic
Ocean by means of a canal from the
Tennessee to the Coosa rivers, and
from the Chattahoochee to the De-
mulgee."
A kindred measure is the great
Western and Southern Railroad con-
Meeting with internal Georgia lines
at Marietta and running in an air
line to Cincinnati. We see that the
kentucky Legislature has refused to
charter the route through that State.
The proposed route, however, is of
too much importance to the general
welfare not to oyeecome, sooner or
later. all local opposition.

THE HOMESTEAD AND THE
ANRRTTpT LAW

By a recent amendment of the u.
S. BankruptLaw, adopted, rs said,
with a view to excessive exemptions
granted in the Southern States un-
der the Homestead laws, it is declar-
ed that such exemptions, SO far as
the Bankrupt law is concerned
shall not exceed $1,000.
This will interest great many
who have and who have not
taken the Homestead, and undo
many things supposed to have been
done.

the world, to be the mightiest power.
The strength of the sword in the
hands Of the united Gcrmanic ma
ton, against the heretofore great
nation Of France, with the combined
might of Penn and Sword. Cans
ieta and Theirs the two great lead
ers of that nation with their united
strength against Count Bismarck
were at last silenced by the fall OF
this once great metropolis of the
world, Paris. The mighty sword
has returned once more after seven
ty.four long years the last crown,
and ithas again brought forth to King
William the 1st Of Prussia the
scepter Of the Great German En-
pire.
All the precious relics belonging
to the Crown of the German Empire
have been deposited at the Tower of
Vienna, since the year 1897 for safe
keeping, after the death of Charles
the Vth, at the approaching revolu-
ton ofFrance at that period. They
consist of the Emperor's Crown and
Scepter, the Sword of Charles the
Great, the Finger-Ring and the
Growing Robe, an Evangelist Book
with Folio, and the Great Golden
Cross.
The Empire Grown is one foot
high Of pure Gold, mounted with
Pearls and Diamonds, and weighs
4 marks, l. ounces, and 3 penny
weights together with 4 other pieces
belonging thereto; tho Gold is "a
carat fine. The Sceptre is also OF
Gold two feet long, inside hollow,
the points thereon an Acorn with
four leaves, parted on each side,
weighs ! markes.
The Golden Cross, with precious
diamonds, which the German EN-
peror is wearing in honor after his
browning, as the emblem.
All this great grandeur was the
might of tho sword, the annexation
of the Territory of Alcase and Lor-
raine, through which Prussia is now
made the second greatest Power in
Europe.
Russia has 100, 280 square miles
and 9,319,5O0 inhabitants.
The German Empire proper has
now 1901 square miles, 40, l40, POO
inhabitants.
France now the Third Power with
O,480 square miles, 3G,424,25S in
habitants.
Austria with Hungary together
10,7S0 square miles and IS, SAB, 1872
inhabitants.
Italy 1886 square miles and 2C,-
10000 inhabitants.
England and Ireland 5722 square
miles with 30,S38,210 inhabitants.
These are now the statistics of the
European Powers, given by Prof.
Petcrman, 1871.
The new title of the German EN-
pcrors are William the LIST Empe-
ror of Germany, King of Prussia,
Duke of Brandenburg and Sover-
eign Duke iof SILICA. Count Bis
marck's title is Grand Chancellor of
the Empire Of Germany.
Peace and harmony to the new

WHAT are State Rights What
does the assertion of State sovereign
tv mean Certainly not a bold and
raggadocio array of empty, loud
sounding words. State sovereignty
is local, self-goyernment. State
Rights is the claim put forward in
behalf of that local, self-government.
The meaning of it is that domestic
government is better suited to our
people than Federal Government
This we believe, and therefore-be-
Loving it for something, not for
mere show, and desiring to propa-
gate and illustrate tive seek to
make Kentucky a model of peace,
order and prosperity. We want 10
act out State Rights with a practi-
cal example of the benefits of LEGAL,
self-governmsnt. 1t will do no good
bawling State Rights if our intern
al condition bellies the assertion of
the beauty and value of domestic
government. That which our ar
gument needs isthe result, not the
rhetoric, Of State soyereignty.-

More of the Coal Mine Disaster.

NEW YORK, May 30-A special from
Pittstcn last night says: The trains ON the
roads leading into this city from Wilkes
barre, Scranton and other places have
brought hundreds of people, most OF them
visiting the locality of the late disaster,
but out of mere curiosity There Is little
to be seen, however, beyond the smoking
ruins of the breaker and huge piles of
coal on it. Nineteen are now dead. Among
those conveyed to the Luzerne House, on
being taken from the mine, all have been
removed to their homes. But four OF those
taken out alive have yet regained their
senses, and though the physicians profess
to have strong hopes that most OF them will
recover the sufferers look as though death
even now holds them in its grip. Thomas
Edwards and his son, aged twelve years,
have both so far recovered as to be able to
walk about. Edwards story OF their trials
in the mine is truly heart-rending. Strong
men, unused to prayer, invoked divine in
reference for their safety. Hymns were
sung Ten men kissed each other in agony
of despair. The coroners inquest is not
concluded, but will go far toward censur
ing, and, perhaps, severely censuring, both
the officers of the company and the mine in
spector, Mr.. Williams of Wilkesbarre.
To the Benevolent Public-In behalf of a
grief-stricken community, paralyzed by
repetition of the disaster at Avondale. we
appeal to you for substantial aid. Of sixty
five miners who entered the shaft at this
place en- Saturday morning, forty-five have
been taken out alive, but many of whom
can not long survive, and these who have
already died will be buried to-day. They
leave behind them twelve widows and
thirty-six fatherless children. In their be-
half we ask your charity. Six months of
enforced idleness has made the community
npnr Those who had the whpraw Ithal IN
give have given until their benefactions
have exhausted their ability. Many are
still on the verge of starvation, and now,
just as renewed labor had begun to cheer
their heart, we are stricken down by this
awful calamity. Will you give us your
mite to relieve the widow and the father
less! All contributions may be sent to

Az OPEN QUEsTIoN.-During the trial of
vagrant women by the Board of Police
Commissioners yesterday, an attorney ap
peared for one of the accused, and stated
that she could not speak word of English.
As the hearing progressed, the client be-
came greatly interested, and suddenly I'M
Ioosed her termagant tongue, uttering long
TRADE on the policeman who had arrested
her, appearing very well very versed in
forcible English. A member of the board
called the attorneys attention to the fact
that his client spoke in tolerably round
terms, but he still insisted that she was
acquainted with only one tongue, even
while his excited client was scolding the
witness in very emphatic English. This
same lady" it was shown, had twelve
hundred and twenty-five dollars in gold,
silver aud currency on her person. Her
claims to thoughtful consideration were
duly weighed, but as she possessed so much

SERIOUS CHARGE. Josephine Ray and
Mrs. Hanley were arrested on Gasquet
street By Officer j. Cummings, who, from
accused maliciously assaulted Mary Ann
Fields. nine years old, and forced her to
drink gin until she was totally insensible.
The details of this terrible case will prob
ably be made apparent to Recorder Hough-
ton on the fifteenth instant. Scarcely a
week passes that one or both of these wo-
men are not in prison on some kind of
charge. Is it not time that they received a
settler! In case the officer makes good his
assertion some very ugly developments are
likely to follow
