The HOUSE COMMITTEE on Railways
and Canals, last week submitted to
the House a report setting forth the
power of Congress to regulate Com
merce by railroads between the States.
1t is lengthy document, argues the
case well, refers to ample and numer-
Gus decisions on the suject, and urges
the necessity Of early action in the
premises by Congress, in the follow
ing; liEa
So far, then, as the question Of ex-
pendiency is concerned, it resolves
itself into the question whether in
ter state railroad commerce shall be
regulated at all. The committee be-
lieve that it ought to be and that
sooner or later it must be, and they
believe also that every years delay on
the part of Congress to inaugurate
the work but adds to the difficulties
to be overcome, to the damages to
be aVerted and to the evils to be
remedied. 1t has been said that,
admitting the power to regulate com
merce, it is not expedient to exercise
it to the extent of limiting charges
to such as are reasonable. We have
already considered the question as to
the power to do this and have sean
that it is clearly a regulation and
therefore within the power to regu-
late, and we here add without hesita-
ton that we consider it not only the
most Just but the most expedient of
all possible regulations. Any at
tempt to regulate this commerce
which stops short of a prohibition
of extortionate charges must prove
altogether Intellectual as a remedy
for the existing evils. 1t is now well
settled that states can put no limit
upon these charges. Let it also be
acknowledged and settled that Con
gress cannot do so, and that evil
which will result can be measured
only by the selfish avarice and Gu
pidity which can exist in a number
Of great cooperate monopoies com
bining for their common interest and
controlled by no law whatever.

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS, of Indiana,
has lost one chance essential to his
becoming the Democratic candidate
for President in 1876. In Floyd
County, Indiana, some children,
whose great grandfather was an In
dian, were recently refused the right
to attend the public schools, by a
teacher OF Democratic instincts.
The district trustee had no opinion
on the subject, and the county Su-
printenden., endorsed the teacher.
The father of the children appealed
to the State Superintendent PER
sonally who after due delibera-
ton concluded the children where
white enough to have instruction
and Hendricks has not interfered to
sustain the country pedagogue. I'm
grateful and impolitic Hendricks.

PRAYER:

" LOru, heavenly faLner-thou LORD our
God-founder of our bodies and framer of our
spirits-we come before Thee, believing thou
art ever ready to do all for our salvation. We
thank Thee for that Jesus died on the cross
to deliver us-we, who for fear of death didst
live all our lives in bondage. We thank Thee
for the words we have Just read and verify
we know Thou art with US at all times and in
all seasons. Verify we are sinners-and verify
all sinners shall die. But we thank Thee we
can come to Thee at all times, and through
Thee obtain the victory of death. While we
now deplore the loss of our brother whose
presence we shall miss, may Thou sustain
and comfort the remaining friends, and sup
port them under their afiiction and while
they are without the companionship of he
whom they have lost, may they continue to
have Thy companionship through life and in
eternity. Help US, we pray Thee, to feel in
creasing interest in that atoning blood which
can alone save. Help all who mourn him who
has departed to feel that their loss is but his
gain; and do Thou help US all diving or dying)
to be Thine. Help us in our every feeling
and thought and prosper our every effort that
shall lead to our living better lives. May
Thou guide us-and hear us, and grant all
needful blessings, for Christ's sake. Amen.
The prayer was followed by singing the
2O5th hymn, commencing with Though we
mourn departed friends, " and at its conclusion
came the

were accustomed at all times to attribute
great value to the lives Of good men, and he
did not know whether more value than they
possessed. But we were assured Of this God
held in esteem all those who were good in His

v. M. G.. A. Concert.

The last concert of this course was given at
City Hall last evening. The first number was
by the eminent tenor whom we all know SO
well, Mr.. Geo. L. Osgood. He sang Colts
chak's 80 Loving Heart trust on" In The
second part he sang "For You," by Millard,
and in answer to an encore. "My Heart is in
the Highlands" The second number was Civ
en- by Miss Addie Ryan, who possesses an ex,
ceedngly rich and sympathetic contralto voice
which she uses with great expression. She
sang "My Mother bids me bind my hair" by
Hayden, and in part second Little Maid of
Arcadee," with sucn effect as to receive an en-
core, in answer to which she gave an old Eng
lish ballad Number three was 1.-THE Hostess
Daughter" sang for the first time in public by
Mr. Myron Whitney; we should judge the piece
to be a valuable acquisition to Mr. Whitney's
repertoire; it was fully appreciated by the au-
dience, and in answer to an encore he gave
"The Young Mountaineer." In part second
Mr. Whitney sang "The Bell Ringers" Mum

thai, and in answer to an encore sang that
familiar but ever acceptable air from Martha,
''The Last Rose of Summer" Number five
was Duo of Rossini's, sung by Mrs. Dow and
Mr.. Osgood. Number three of the second part
was the Duo La eli Darem,' sung by Mr..
Whitney and Miss Ryan, this, to us, was the
most acceptable number of the programme.
The concert closed with one of Mendelss ohm S
four part songs, "On the Sea-" in which Mr..
Whitney's grand bass was especially notice
able. The accomplishments were played by
Mr. Kotzschmar in his usual faultless manner.
The attendance was good, though the hall was
not crowded.
