The report OF the Senate special
committee on cheap transportation was
under discussion yesterday, the pend.
ing proposition being the ordering
of a com plete survey OF each OF the
four routes OF canal proposed, the
James River and Kanawha improve
ment being one Of the number. The
Senate adjourned without having taken
final action upon the subject. 1t is to
b. hoped that the proposed survey may
be ordered and an authentic estimate Of
the cost OF the several schemes for better
and cheaper communication between
the Atlantic seaboard and the Missis.
sippi valley may be laid before Con-
gress and the people as a guide for in
telligeut action in relation to the mat
ter. We can form scme idea OF the
immense advantage to be reaped from
the construction and operation OF either
of the several lines of transportation
considered by the committee, but We
have had as yet only approximate
guesses as to their cost. The proposed
survey will Iurnish reliable data which
will be OF much service in enabling
Congress and the people. to determine
whether or not the work should be I'M
dertaken at national expense.

Or the three officers of the Treasury
who were implicated in the SANBoRN
frauds, TWO have been disposed OF but
the third one sticks. Secretary RICH
ARDsoN has been removed and Solicitor
BANFIELD has resigned, but Assistant
Secretary SAWYER who is perhaps the
worst of the three, still holds On to his
position. 1t is now stated On the
authority Of the Cincinnati Commercial
correspondent that since the SANBoRN
investigation was begun Mr.. SAWYER,
in league with HAYNES, formerly Com
missioner OF Customs, procured the al
lowance and payment Of rejected cotton
claims to the amount Of fifty-seven
thousand dollars. These claims were
rejected some time ago, because they
were illegal. The Treasury officials
having charge of such matters. knew
nothing of the recent action on the
claims till the warrant had been issued
under SAVERS instructions and paid.
When all the facts are made public,
il is not believed that Mr.. SAWYER,
specimen ss he is of the worst sort OF
carpet-bagger, will longer hesitate to
resign.

john TALIFERo, the negro convicted
in the Circuit Court of Berkeley county
of numbering little girl named ANNIE
BUTLER, on the 9th Of October, 1873.
was sentenced by Judge HoGE lsst
Monday to be hung on Friday, July
81. The demeauor OF the prisoner
throughout the trial has been that OF
stolid unconcern and the sentence was
heard by him without protest and
without any display OF emotion. The
Judges remarks in delivering the sem
tence OF the law were very appropriate
and touching, but they failed to reach
the heart OF the criminal himself
We believe that TAL,FERo's attorneys
intend to move for stay OF execution
upon grounds similar to those alleged
in the TAYLOR SrRAUDER case in this
county; namely, the constitutionality
of the jury law ln.this State, which ex-
cludes negroes from service on juries,
and is therefore held to be in violation
of the Let section OF the 18th amend"
ment 10 the Constitution OF the United
States. The determination of the ques-
ton involved is looked for with good
deal OF interest by the whole people OF
the State.

THR Cincinnati Gazette, one OF tie
bitterest Radical pspers in OHIO, takes
ground against the sossalled Civil
Rights bill, saying that The proposed
measure makes 30 greats stretch OF
governmental interference into social
customs and business affairs which
haze hitherto been outside the province
of legislation it Gets up surveillance
and espionage hitherto 30 foreign to
the spirit of our free government; 1t
makes 40 large q transfer OF affairs
from the State to the National tribu-
malls: the offenses it creates are 90
vague, and subject to arbitrary
methods; its penalties 30 Sc
we're and disproportionate to the
offences; its command that every o.
ficer of the various courts Of the United
States shall be prosecutor under it 80
extraordinary, and all the features OF
the bill are 90 different from anything
that has hitherto been thought the
manner OF law, that rejecting people
may we'll inquire whether this is not
the sacrifice instead Of the protection Of

The Centennial Bill, as amended and
passed in the Senate, has been agreed
to by the House. the United States
government is not liable, directly or
indirectly, for any expenses attending
the exhibition; but the Centennial cell
ebration receives by this bill national
endorsement. A member from PEN
sylyania (Mr. RANDALL) remarked that
il voting for the amended bill he did
not intend to debar himself from ask
iug others to advocate an appropriation
for the Centennial, and he believed the
whole of the Pennsylvania delegation
was OF his way of thinking. 1t is evi'
dent, therefore, that the members from
that State do not give up hope OF get
ting some appropriation from the Fed
eral government.

A South CAROLINA paper states
that, within period OF five
days, 1900 pieces OF real estate
have recently been sold for taxes
in that State. Twenty-nine hun
bred pieces of real estate go poor and
unproductive that the owners cannot
pay the taxes! 1t is not difficult to
trace the cause Of this cad condition Of
things. The frauds and stealing Of
carpet-bsg knaves. wanton misgovern>
ment, and disregard for the rights Of
the people, have borne their bitter
fruit; and the only consolation received
by the tax payers Of that State when
they prayed for relief from the Presi-
dent was deliberate repulsing from the
official presence. Outrage has followed
outrage, and, last Of all, comes confs-
cation. 1t is little relief 70 the victims

Food and Digestion.

In dyspepsia the gastric juice which
hould dissolve the food is only formed in
small quantities, and whatever may be the
feeling Of emptiness and weakness in such
cases, the dyspeptlc should eat very sparing-
ly. To remedy the evil, the mucous mem
braue OF the stomach, which seeretes and
cmits the gastric fluid. should be stimulat.
ed ard toned, and the best, in fact the only
sure preparation for this purpose Is Hostet-
tiers Stomach Bitters. Not only does this
admirable stomachio promote sufdcient
and steady supply OF the solvent which
converts the food 10 the purposes OF life,
but 1t also regulates the TOW OF bic, con-
trolls the bowels and has most invigorat-
ing effect upon the nerves. The glow which
the very first dose diffuses through the
system is in earnest OF the more permanent
vitalizing effects which ere produced by It's
persistent use. 1t improves the appetite,
cheers the spirits, and renders the body
hardy and strong.

Failure Not a Failure.


The secret of happiness is to make the best
of everything; no matter what happens to
annoy, let it all glide along as easily, and
with as few words of complaint and fault
finding as possible.
Little inconvenience will intrudo upon
the most fortunate of people; so the only
way to be master Of every situation is to
make up your mind not to notice small an.
noyances. People may keep themselves in
a constant broil over what amounts to moth
ing, and without accomplishing the least
good, may ruin the peace and quiet Of q
household. We cannot have everything
Just as we want it in this world, and the
sooner person understands that fact the
sooner they may have a true basis for hap
piness.
1t is the greatest folly to set the heart
upon uncertainties, and then If disappointed
refuse to be comforted or reconciled.
Do the very best you can and then take
things as they come. lfaman strives with
his best knowledge, energy and untiring la
Dor to accomplish certain object, working
with skill and patience, he is success
whether the scheme fails or succeeds ant
he ought to reconcile himself to failure if i
was inevitable. If his labors have been o
brain and hand, he is better fitted to sue
ceed in other undertakings.

Would You Like II Yourself!

We all know what comfort there is in
feeling settled for an hour or two with some-
thing pleasant to do or talk about A
bright FIRE, an easy chair, a pair Of old
shoes, which Of all friendly things are friend
lest, and the conviction that we can be un-
disturbed at books or work for an afternoon,
are among the delightful experiences Of
life. Nobody understands the blessedness
of this better than grown people do, aud
yet grown people generally seem to be Of
one mind in never giving children a chance
TO enjoy it.
This is how it is in great many houses.
Matte has taken her drawing paper and
pencils to the window, and has just got alb
sorbed and interested in sketching the TO-
iage Of tree, when Auntie, who is read.
iug new magazine, happens to think Of a
book she wants TO see, Without thought
Of the disturbance she is bringing to the
child, she says: 90, Matte, darling, just
run down to the library aud bring me Da'
rid Copper6eld, won't you there's a dear
Matte goes. OF course, and having been
duly thanked, seats herself again, to be in
terrupted, presently, by mamma, who wants
" one Of your fathers old shirts, my love
You'll find 1t in the right hand corner oil
the middle drawer Of the bureau in my
room" So it goes on. We have seen al
obligiDg child sent upon errauds Of thii
sort half a dozen times in an hour, until vi
have wondered at the sunny good temper
which bore it without rebellion.
We believe in training children to bt
helpful, courteous and unselfsh. We don
believe in treating them as if they had NJ
right TO their own time. A very littl,
forethought would enable people to saw
steps, both their own and their children's
and regard for the Golden Rule woulC
sometimes induce US to 60 ourselves on ou

Of years younger, has no right to say no 4
our requests. The injustice Of the proceed
ing is not less manifest because we suga
our demands with dears to make ther
as palatable as pills rolled up in sweet
meats
