RAIL ROAD TAx.--In conversation
with Gov. Stone, OF the law firm Of
Stone &Ayres, Of this place, who have
been for several years acting as attor-
neys for the A. X. IL ID. Railroad
Company, we learn that Is not his in
tention to contest the right Of the tax
payers TO receive back the money they
have paid la to the county treasury
for the aid Of the Railroad. He thinks
fhe Company has, by long delay IN
prosecuting the enterprise, forfeited
all equitable or legal claim upon this
money, and that 1t should now be re-
turned to the Taxpayers. His opinion
is that the Company will no longer
insist upon its claim that tEs money
should remain In the treasury to await
the contingency Of the road being CON
.structed. Therefore the right OF the
Treasurer to return the money to
those who paid 1t In will be no longer
resisted. The Injunction case COM
msneed last year against Mr.. Baker,
restraining him from refunding the
money, will be prosecuted no further.
Abe main difficulty In the matter
HmiA now be In making legal and
proper distribution Of the amount left
In the treasury among the taxpayers
OF Knoxville township. There are
some questions which the Court may
,he required TO determine, In order to
protect the Treasurer, as well as the
rights Of all interested. There will
ahpwever be no need of additional law
.s.sts pr further litigation in the
/, matter.
The questions to be settled by the
,sourt will probably ,Le decided by
Judge blanchard next week, aud if
;. tbs decision 10 such as the Tressurer
anticipates, he will give notice, and
Immediately proceed TO distribute
RAILROAD tax fund now In his hands
pro rata among those who paid it into
the treasury two or three years ago.
The amount to he refunded In Knox
Vile township will be about IS per
cent. Of the AMOUNT paid In. OF that
collected frolp other townships all will
be refunded.

LITTLE RHODY.
Tho strike for Ten Hours


PROVIDENCE, r. l., May To-day was
TIE time fixed by the members OF the ten
hour association for q strike in all the cot
ton and wollen mills in the State heretofore
working G2b to 66 hours per week. Conse-
uuently IN a considerable number OF the
mills most of the operatives left work at 3
O'Clock this evening, instead OF remaining
until $50 or as the regular time might
be. Some of the mills lost so few hands
that the machinery did not stop.
Ina delaine mill at Olneywell most ofthe
help remained at work and noisy crowd
from the other mills and outsiders assem-
bled and looked on and groan2d. The police
from this city and North Providence were
summoned, but no serious acts OF violence
were committed. Some apprehension Is
felt for tomorrow at that point, as the
English ring-leaders are gathered there and
some military precaUtion to prevent
breach of the peace is contemplated.
In Woonsacket there was some noisy bu
harmless demonstrations, the help leaving
nearly all the larger mills. The owners
hav. adopted no concerted plan Of action
The wooden manufacturers would like
general suspension of work. 1t is proba
Bile the cotton mills will shut down tempo
arily if there is trouble in getting help t.
run on the present basis.

CLEVELAND, May 1.-The Northeastern

following resolutions, which were accepted:
Resolved, That this convocation strongly

by any Of its missionaries, of any portion
or portions of the Prayer book, as appointed
to be used in public worship; the interpo-
lation in the service Of the Church OF any
prsver other than those to be found in the
Prayer-book; the inviting or permitting OF
persons who have not received episcopal
ordination to ofliciate ss a minister in any
Office in any of our churches or accustomed
places of worship, and the violation in any
other way ofIhe rubrics and canons OF the
Church.
Resolved. Tha the preaching and teach
ing of the distinct principles and doctrines
of the Church, TIE upholding OF all It's
CLAIMS the enforcement of the superiority
of its orders, and the faithful observance o.
all the provisions Of the Prayer-book, mus
form parts of any policy which can be sue
cessful in building up and maintaining th'
Church in any mission or region.

JOHN Il. HATCHER.

The Mobile Register says there are no
pleasanter memories connected with the
nast hours of the Register sanctum than
those which include rare John Hatcher as
one of It's staff. From editor down to
Gtdevi.~ no one but loved him, and re-
snected him as well; and the public shared
in the kindliness for "WashingtOn Brick"
Later he has filed lsrge place in the
nnhljc eve of Louisville, for his genial wit
in the columns of the Courier Journal
caused many a tingle, but never sore. 1t
made the hsckneyed phrase, "Prentice
saws" in all the country press, 70 reProach
TO the dead giant of Journalism. Still later,
as we told his old friends here, the Column
bia (renn.) Mail " s lis chosen resting
nlace. But overwork has told upon his
weakening frame, and now dear old
Hatcher IS forced reluctantly to lay down
the sharp nibbed psn that was so true to
praise the Just and prick the false.
To this the Memphis AppeGL adds:
That is not all. Hatcher's is the kind
Hest and best nature, the surest TO invest
one's weaknesses with unsuspected charms
or discover virtues outweighing faults, He
is kindly, unsuspecting, fearless, truthful
alwsys exaggerating the intelligence and
Goodness of his associates. The writer OF
this sat in the same apartment and wrote
for the same newspaper with Hatcher
through many a weary day, even when
Sherman was coming down upon Atlanta.
And when Sherman used to ireshen the
dim ligbs that glimmered in the periPsteiti,c
printing office, and lamps were filled Will
sputtering lard, and bomb-shells shot
athwart the heavens, illumining the be-
leaguered city till darkness was dispelled by
frightful confagrations; even then Hatcher
was the most pleasing, most agreeable as
soeiate, and his hilarity and impertqrbable
GOOD hunor was never repressed. He car
make words play more tricks than o jug
gler can extort from Punch and Judy, AM
even say funnier things about people
never offending, than any Hogarth tina
ever drew pictnres of faces as Hatcher doe
Of mems moral natures.
