How It would have suited the genius o.
this portentious parsonage 10 have inter-
posed his potential presence among these
railroad officials, and with his Sccustom-
ed Rbdominable sscendency, assurance
and address, and all the apt, admirable
and ample arrogance, OF which he Is sc
eminently capable, considerably and dis
creetly limited at, and preached terms o.
compromise, and adjustment with theiI
several companies on the tax question.
What a marked distinction in refer
ence to its manifest effects and results
would his conduct be likely to present, IL
contrast with that Of his EX.Senatoria
.neighbor, now on that Committee
moving lquietly and unobtrusively
about bis business, seemingly obSerVant
but evidently from scandnesS Of ideas
and sheer incapacity Of thought, horribly
reticent, and uncommunicatiVe,-aSki
few, simple, strait forward, pertinent, and
searching queStiOns,-And entertaining nc

years Of service, sedulously devoted to the
"lo0t cause" are very naturally DESTROYS
Of making suitable amends for such waste
oftime; and are eagerly pressing on to the
the mark Of their high calling, namely,
to convert, appropriate, and enjoy,
the good things Of this LIE, whenever,
wherever, and however they best
may. This we rejoice to know, Is
the accepted golden rule Of the ever
glorious Register. Camden. Calhoun De
