The Cincinnati Southern Railroad.

Coupled with the news that the Supreme
Court of Ohio has decided the Cincinnati
tax levy of ten millions for its Southern
railroad constitutional, we see that Theo.
Cook, one Ofthe prominent members of the
Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting held
in Cincinnati on the 10Th, introduced the
following resolutions:
ResOIUed, That the proposition to build
the Cincinnati Southern Railway at the
cost of the city is dangerous in precedent,
and unsound in policy; and that any prob
able good to result from such act would
be more than counterbalanced by the de-
preciated credit of the city, loaded with
debt, and the OnerOus taxes thereby ne
cessarily imposed OH its cities.
(" ReSoEUed, That it is the sense of this
chamber that the effort now being made
to obtain a charter for the Cincinnati
Southern Railway from the State of Ken
lucky should be abandoned; and that the
Legislature of Ohio be memoralized to re-
peal all laws granting to cities of the first
class authority to build railroads.

New Books.

The startling events of the Paris Com
mune are still fresh in the public mind
and will long be read with deep interest,
as marking an important event in the his
tory of our race. Amid the excitement
and anarchy prevailing in France during
that memorable period, it was utterly inn
possible for even diligent newspaper cor
respondents to furnish, with much accu-
racy, the important events connected with
that struggle. The work of collating a re-
liable record of the events from March, 9th,
to May, 29th, 1871, when the Government
troops regained possession of the city has
been successfully performed by a writer of
ability and tact. Mr.. w. p. Fetridge. His
work, entitled "The Paris Commune" is
just published by the great house of Harp
er & Brothers. 1t is book of great value
for reference and must meet with a gener-
Gus welcome by American readers. The
author estimates the property destroyed in
Paris by the Commune at S67, SOC, 900 francs.
He deals impartially with all questions
connected with his subject and his work
gives every evidence of care and authen-
ticity. In view of the discussions now
going on in relation to the Communists
associations, every intelligent reader should
have reliable information concerning the
Paris Commune, upon which to base an
intelligent judgment.

Virginia Finances.

In the debate in the Virginia Senate on
the House resolution suspending the Ope-
ration of the funding act, it was stated,
and not successfully cOntroverted, that
both the January and July interest on the
funded debt could be paid under the pres
ent financial administration of the State.
The amount now in the treasury is 81 ,000,-
600. In reply to resolution of inquiry
from the House, Attorney General Taylor
says:
"The funding act does, not, in my opin-
ion, make an appropriation for the pay
ment of interest on the bonds issued un-
der that act think there should be an
act authorizing the auditor to transfer the
sum necessary to pay the interest; other
wise, the treasurer will not be justified in
making such payment"
Virginia stock has fallen considerably in
the market since the funding repeal passed
the House.-BaLtdnOre Stte.

THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN CHARTER.
I had brief conversation yesterday with
Senator Sherman in regard to the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad charter. This bill
will not be taken up until after the holi-
days, but of its passage the Senator has no
doubt whatever. The main difficulty is to
get it taken up, owing to the press of mat
ters of more general Importance. He has
received q note from the constitntioal Gar
rett Davis begging that it be not taken up
until January, as he is detained at home
by sickness in his family, and wants to be
on hand when the bill comes before the
Senate, so as to protest against its passage
in about twenty-five columns of fine type.
The best way to prevent it's passage by the
Senate is to get it through the kentucky
Legislature Il the erudite Garret wants
to get it out of Congress, he can best do SO
by throwing his influence in favor OF its
passage by the Legislature. There are
more ways than one to prevent despotlc
Congress from setting its tyrannical foot
upon strip of the sacred soil of Kentucky,
two hundred feet wide Wash. Cor. GIN

SUGGESTIVE TO WHOM IT MAY Con
CERN.-A Warren merchant, who always
keeps an excellent stock of goods i'll his
line, remarked to us a few days since that
he had observed that there were some peo-
pie here who, if they can get from our
dealers as good goods ut as fair prices as in
any town in the State, will nevertheless
go off fifty or more miles to give another
place the benefit of their custom. This is
too true. There are people in every COM
munity who never can find anything,
either in quality or price, to suit them
at a home store, shop or printing office.
Sometimes our own dealers follow this
improbable system, and themselves pa
trOnize some interloping chap, who to steal
away trade from the town, will underbid
some of our merchants, mechanics or man.
ufacturers, small per cent: on regular
prices. We never noticed that the men
who bit at such small things ever made
much in the end out of it. Trade with
those who trade with you, if they can fur
nish what you want, and only with others
when you cannot well help it. That's our
home protection theory reduced 10 prac-
tice.-OhiO Paper.

Judge Orr, of South Carolina, in charge
to the Grand Jury of Pickens county, de-
livered fortnight ago, made use of the
following language However men may
differ in their opinions as to the wisdom
and Justice of the course pursued by the
Federal Government in suspending- the
writ of ha6eaS corpus in several of the
counties of this State-and it is due TO
fra,akaess that L should, as an individual,
sag it aVos, IN my judgment, q necessity
it is very certain that the counties that
frowned down all unlawful combinations,
the counties that have protected person
and property by law, the counties where
peace, quiet and good order have prevailed,
have been exempted from the stern provis-
ions of the Presidents proclamation sus-
pending the hd6eds corpus. Persist In the
GOOD conduct which has marked your his
tory for three years past, and be assured
the privileges of habeas corpus will never
