Protest Against Ihe Five Million
Railroad Subsidy.

The following protest was entered on
the journals of the House against this
scheme to which we have heretofore
alluded, and the provisions of which we
will discuss at length 50 that the people
may be warned in time TO repeal it before
they become involved in the vexations
and difficulties which will attend its at
tempted execution. The names of the
Republicans who signed the protest are
italicised
Mr.. SPEAKER:
We most earnestly protest against the
passage of an Act to encourage internal
improvements in the State, giving a sub
sidy of four thousand dollars per mile To
railroads TO be hereafter constructed. We
consider this action OF the Legislature IN
direct opposition to the wishes OF all the
tax payers of the State except those per-
sonally interested, and as Representatives
of the already tax-ridden people of the
State, we present this our most solemn
protest and ask that il be spread on the
Journal OF the House.

Judge Golfer, who was Provost Marshal
General of Joseph E. Johnston's army in
the late Confederate States, has properly
decided, that colored men are citizens,
and have the right to testify in civil cases;
that it is necessary for their protection in
the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United States
to citizens; and that State Judge is
bound by the clause in the State Consti-
tuition, prescribing the oath of Office, to
uphold the Federal Constitution as the
supreme law of the land.
The HandsborO Democrat, as if by
authority, says that Judge Chandler is
opposed to the apportionment villiany by
which a number of counties in the State
are deprived Of representation in the Leg
islature, and large number of white
voters are virtually disfranchised. Now,
let him follow the example of Represen-
tative Roane of Pike, and others, and
proclaim his separation from the party
which has perpetrated the wrong.

The bill described below did not see
the light in the official journal of the
Legislature. Therefore the public will
have no opportunity of judging its
character except by the description Of
the Governor. If the portrayal be cor
rect, it must have been hideous contri-
unconstitutional, contradictory, grossly
extravagant, unequal, 'inequitable'--in
a word, a double concentrated compound
of Radical ignorance and dishonesty. We
are bound to accept this testimony in the
absence of proof to the contrary, and
from the well-established character of the
body that passed it;

There is no misunderstanding this let
ter. 1t reveals the plot fully. The
movement of Morgan was in the interest
of the Bondholders. The time and oc-
casion was not discreetly chosen. The
debt, which they claim amounts to eigh-
teen million one hundred thousand dol
lars, according to the last census equals
one-ninth of the value of all the proper
ty in the State The holders of the bonds
which have passed into thehands ofsecond,
third and fourth parties, and were bought
on speculation for a mere song, do not
ask that the claim be paid ''all at once
They want to effect an arrangement for
the issue of other bonds and the creation
of "new obligation, with the imposi-
ton of tax to pay the interest and
part of the principal.
Our purpose now is not to argue the pro-
positions contained in this letter, but to
send out warning to the Taxpayers
Nevertheless it is not out of place 10 con-
tradict the statement that 'the legality of
the Planters Bank Bonds has never been
denied" To the statement that " the le-
" gality of those issued through the I'm
ion Bank was in no wise questioned I'M
81 til they passed for full value into the
i" hands of innocent third parties, for the
=" most part foreigners" it is is only ne
cessary to say that they were issued in
violation of the supreme law of the State,
which was an advertisement to all the
world of the conditions on which the peo-
pie would consent to the pledging of their
faith. If the fund-mongers did not take
the precaution to enquire into the law
which had been created by the people for
precisely such an emergency the fault is
not with them but the spectators them
selves. This much may be said in APP
plication to the original purchasers. They
have since been purchased by other spe-
culators at large discount, who have
chosen TO take the risk. II is known that
arrangements were made by sharpers
during the last session, when the snap
judgment process Was attempted, to OBJ
tain control Of very large amounts for
comparatively trifing sums To obtain
new obligation and tax for It's re-
delnption the agents Of these parties were
prepared to make large Investments. =

THE stockholders Of the Gas Company
at their meeting yesterday, passed Teso-

committing the whole matter of the CON

that when the brains are out ofthe man he
ought to be dead, and SO he ought in the

the charter ofa corporation has expired,
it ought to be dead, and will be found so,
in spite Of all the legal galvaniC batteries
that may be made for a time to produce a
