a Faithless Shepherd,

The following from the Davenport Dem
oc5'ot of yesterday shows the worldliness OF
pretended preacher of the gospel over
the river His congregation has served
him right-and we only regret that the
Democrat did not give his name, in order
that all other congregations may give him
the cold shoulder, also:
''One of the pastors of one of the
churches in this city has been requested by
his Pensioners to resign, and will
soon do SO it is thought The reason why
sucn request was made is his unfaithful-
ness to young lady to whom he was en-
gagged to be married She was poor
in this world goods the minister became
acquainted with one who had much lucre.
The latter he married the former he dis
carded. The poor girl whom he cast off
was in terrible sorrow, when she learned
the faithlessness of her lover. The church
congregation thought the action of their
minister reprehensible, and have concluded
to do without his ministrations hereafter. +"

RAILROAD lATTERS.
TRANSFORMING THEIR CHARTER
PRIVILEGES.
From the Nashville Union and American:

From the Nashville Union and American.
Mr.. II. Clay King, a lawyer Of
Memphis, who resides three miles
out, at ellis Station. on the Charles
ton Railroad, has brought suit against
this corporation for ST, 900 damages.
In the charter of the company it is
prescribed that they shall not collect
fare at any rate exceeding five cents
per mile. 1t has always been rule
of the company, however, never to
charge less than twenty-five cents
for any one passenger fare. Last
Monday afternoon Mr.. King took
the cars for his home, and rendered
the legal fare for the distance
three miles, fifteen cents. This the
conductor refused to receive, and
stopping the train. put Dir. King off.
The purpose of the suit is to ascer-
tain the rights and powers of the
railroad company. under its charter,
and the case will without doubt go
to the Supreme Court. The points
Immediately involved is the right of
a railroad to establish the arbitrary
charge of accents for getting on and
off of the cars, regardless of the dis
lance, or the maximum rate allowed
by its charter. If decided against
it, we suppose the railroad would
seek its revenge by abolishing all
stations under five miles. This
would spring a new question, which,
we believe, has never been solved
the right of a railroad to abolish and
change it's stations. Very often
heavy investments are made at
small railway stations, merely be-
cause they are such. Have the men
who thus apply their capital and en-
ergy, no vested rights that railroads
are bound to respect?
More important than the issue
sprung at Memphis is the question
of local tariffs discriminating against
towns, cities and whole sections of
country. In one way or another. a
railroad can, at its pleasure, make
or mar a given town. This fearful
power is being daily exercised more
Or less almost without let or him
trance. Our people have hitherto
been SO anxious for railroad commu-
that they have submitted |
% the most unblushing extortions.

If our servants. The problem, in
III it's bearings, cannot be tackled

PATRIOTIC COUNCLLING,

LETTER FROM VIM MCFARLAND
The Bristol Meas publishes the
following extract from a sensible and
temperate letter addressed to its ed
itor from Hon. VIM. Mcfarland, our
Congressman elect:
''The canvass was a great success. The
result is not, of course, to be attributed
to any popularity or merit on my part.
but has its origin in the great revolution
in public sentiment throughout the coun-
try and which hope argues well for the
country. 1t means, l trust, the perma-
nent triumph Of the spirit of concilia-
ton, fOrbearance, of kindly feeling and
justice over the spirit of hate, ilI-wilI,
bitterness and strife that has divided us
in the past. OF course great RESPONSE
bility now devolves upon the Democrat
&c party We cannot afford to make any
mistakes, such as have been made in the
past. If we do we shall lose all we have
gained. spirit of moderation must
prevail The hope of Radicalism now, is
that rash and unwise acts may charact-
erie the policy of the Democratic party,
and it should be our policy to disappoint
this hope. -
These temperate and wise views,
says the Nescs, seem to characterize
most of our leaders, and we trust
that alllmay feebthe force and COR
rectness of them The overthrow Of
the Republican party, is to be &C.
complished only by an alliance be-
tween the Southern people and
portion of the North, and it will new
er do for the alliance to be violated
by the assertion Of measures which
will be offensive to our allies in the
Northern States. Then they wonld
leave us and return to the Radicals.
