The transportation Question.

The Report of the Committee in the
Senate to whom this question was referred
is substantially as follows: That il is
important to have cheap and ample f.
cilities for the exchange of commodities;
that Congress has the power to aid and
facilitate. this end by improving or crea-
ting channels of commerce on land or
water; that it Is doubtful achetBer cheap and
ample facilities can eVer be obtained By
Congressional regulation of Railroad trans
portation, and that Congress has not The in
formation necessary to attempt to regisiats
the !, 300 railways of the country, and,
therefore, they recommend certain gen
eral regulations concerning railways, 10
prevent combinations, discrimination,
stock-infations, and homeopathic
freight lines. They also recommend
Bureau of Commerce, etc,
The Committee find, however, that the
physical adoption Of the country for cheap
and ample water communications points
to the improvement of the great natural
waterways and their connection by ca
mails, under the control Of the govern
ment and, of these waterroutes, the
following are the most advantageous chan
nels to be created or improved BY the
General Government: I. The Mississippi
River 2. A water-route from the
Mississippi River to New York City, by
the Lakes. 8. A water-route from the
Mississippi Rivers ria the Ohio and Ten
nessee Rivers to point in Tennessee or
Alabama, and thence by canal and slack
water to the ocean, at Savannah or Mo-
bile, or both. f. A route from the
Mississippi River pia the Ohio and
Kanawha Rivers to a point in West
Virginia, and thence by canal and slack
water, or by freight railway to tide-water
The cost of these water-routes is put
down at S155, 600, 0O0

I'm IL Nutshell.

Coleman's Rural World, an able paper
published in the interest of the farmers
movement, presents the whole argument
on the Currency Bill and the Presidential
veto in the following paragraphs:
The East has again triumphed over the
West aud South. We have all along said
that capital ruled the nation. The policy Of
the East has prevailed, and will continue to
prevail until the great producing classes OF
the country are united aud work together to
relieve themselves from the oppressios.s of
such a ruler The bankers, bondholders and
capitalists of the East said the currency bill
is antagonistic TO our interests, and it must
be vetoed, and il was vetoed Ii it had been
favorable to their interests, they would have
said the bill must become law, and it
would have become a law
The Presidents Veto means that the in
vestmeuts made by bondholders shall be
increased in value; that the banker shall
obtain a higher rate of interest tor the money
he has to han; that the farmers products
shall command lower prices; that farms
shall still more depreeiate in value; that
there shall be a still greater shrinkage in
values, aud that those who incurred debt
when money was plenty and cheap, shall
now be cramped and ruined to make pay
ments When the greater part of our debts,
national, state, county, municipal and indi-
vidual, were incurred, property was worth
double what it now is This was in conse-
quence Of the redundant currency, which
then prevailed. The debtors expected to
pay according TO those values. But capital
lists and creditors have had contraction of
the currency until it has been reduced more
than one-hAlf, increasing their own values
but depreciafing the values of the debtor
class until they are unable to pay. If the
DEBTOR now pays his creditor, he must give
Two dollars IN value for the one which he
borrowed. The West and the South are the
debtor classes, and the East is the creditor
Capital has been contracting the currency.
and still wants to contract il in its own in
terest, and now demands the pound of flesh
nearest the heart

In the Arkansas case, the conduct of
the President, has been unexceptiouable.
He has avoided the errors Of the Louisi-
ana affair aud observed strict neutrality
between the contending factions. Au-
thorizad by the Constitution TO protect
the State from domestic violence, he
might almost be charged with too eau
tious exercise Of delegated power. The
terms of adjustment leaving to the
Legislature the decision as to the legal
Governor, virtually settles the dispute in
favor OF Baxter, that body having
already once declared him elected. He
and Brooks both are Republicans Both
have Conservative support. but Baxter
has won the largest share by his upright
and honorable discharge of the duties of
the Office, and his refusal to become sub
servient tool of Clayton and other ad-
venturers who have heretofore ruled the
State with high hand. These despica-
bic characters, It seems, were all parti-
zans~of Brooks, but the President refused
to beinfuenced by them.
Latert-Brooks refuses to accept the
terms and Che situation has become more
embarrassing.

The.return TO specie payments at as
early a date as possible, and the reduction
instead of the increase Of paper currency.
has been our inyariable policy. Il Is emit
nently the true and wise policy for the
cotton producing section of our country.
No interest has been more seriously affect
ei by the substitutionof deprecated paper
for the par currency of the world, than
that Of the cotton producer.-N. o. Plea
yune.
For whose benefit win a return TO specie
payments be, except the wealthy monopo-
lists who hold and are specializing in gov
eminent securities The producing
classes are not able to hold them. There
Is no class in the cotton region who advo-
cafe Deprecated paper system. Paper
never depreeiates 50 long as its issue IL
proportioned to the necessities Of com
merce and industry. Gold isnot curren-
cy, nor the standard Of its value. 1t is
simple an article of trade.
To talk about hard money currency,
or a paper currency redeemable in gold,
+ Is preposterous. There is not one-fourth
enough Of the metal in the country to
supply the currency
If an increase of currency is not needed

be had in exchange for even so grea

dealers alleged as an excuse that 'nC

suffering for the necessaries Of life, be

ulators were induced sometimes to taxi
the staple at half its value as fixed b.
the Liverpool market The producing
classes were completely at the mercy o
spectators, and compelled TO sacrific'
the fruits of their years labor, or sufe
worse consequences from the failure t
meet their obligations. The currency Of
which their reliance was placed to NOV
their crops, was concentrated in the hand
Of favored monopolists and was not avail

A great hue and cry has been raised
against Walton on account of his decis-
ion to admit Morgan to bail, but after a
careful and impartial investigation of the
testimony we cannot see how Walton could
well have decided otherwise Had it
not been for Morgan's outrageous con
duct and threats, no doubt Judge Drer-
nan would have made the same decis-
ion.-Liberty Herald, Democratic.
Having read the testimony and the
statements of both sides, We have never
been able to reach the conclusion that
Morgan was not entitled to bail, even if
he did the killing, about which there
seems to be some doubt At all events,
it was fight for the occupancy of an
Office to which Morgan had been elected,
and which both parties claimed, and in
the general melee one of them was un-
fortunately killed. According to a de-
eision rendered BY the Supreme Court
since the affair, Morgan was legally en-

DEATH of Rev whitfield HarrinG-
tom.

We have he ard with extreme sorrow of
the death of Rev. Whitfield Harrington,
which occurred at bis horne in Madison on
Tuesday. Yesterday his remains were
inferred in the old family burial ground
at GeorgeviIle, Holmes county The de-
ceased was a younger brother of DR. l. T.
Harrington, whose death it panied us so
recently to announce. He was mourner
at the funeral of the latter, in apparent
good health, but has thus early been
called to join him in the land of the
hereafter
Rev. Mr.. Harrington prepared himself
for the ministry and entered it at an
early age. In 1S6O-61. he was pastor of
the Methodist Church in this CITY and
was much beloved by his congregation.
Impaired health compelled him to desist
from the labers of his holy calling, but
he remained the same faithful servant of
bis Master, and by example and precept
his light shone brightly before the world
As citizen he was public spirited and
enterprising and no man labored harder
to build up the fortunes of his desolate
country. The intellectual gifts with
which nature had endowed him were ap-
piled to the best uses.
At the time of his death he was the
Agent of the Grangers, at
New Orleans, and his services in that
capacity gave greet promise Of public
uuefulness.

The Constitution provides that when
the Governor is out of the State, the
office shall be filled by the Lieut. Gov
ernor. During Governor Ames' recent
trip over the territory of Louisiana on
his way to the seashore, Lieut.. Gov
Davis undertook to perform, as he had
authority to do, the functions of chief
executive, principally with view to the
reappointment of Chancellor Christian
in the Merid ian district The continuance
of Judge Christian is called for by the
sentiments of nine ty-nine bundredths OF
the people of his district of all parties by
whom the act would have been hailed as.
a most praiseworthy performance. But
unfortunately the effort of the Lieut..
Governor was baked by parties having
the power, and the time was too brief to
remove the difficulties The people will
have to take the good intention of the
Lieut.. Governor for the deed. He pro-
posed to do good thing strictly in the
line of the Constitution.

We have seen that the n. 7. World
which assumes to be an organ of North
ern Democratic opinion, has eclared ''as
treason to the Democracy" the vote of
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives IN favor of what it calls imitation. +"
According to this logic, majority of
the party have turned traitors because
a majority voted for the obnoxious me,s-
ure. Included in this majority, are the
delegations from the most reliable anti
Radical States in the Union. Old Vir-

lowers.

money" is part OF the Democratic creed,
it draws upon its Imagination. The
Democratic party mas always professed
to be party Of She people, and to a1jost
its policy To tbe necessities OF the times
as they arose. The man ought to wear
