1.-The value of the capital stock including
tie franchise, merely means that the val
ne of the franchise shall not be excluded

would have said, 'the value of the capital

guage was probably used because it has

were not taxable by the power which grant
ed them.
The capital stock of corporation means
the amount paid in or secured to be paid
in by the shareholders, upon which it
commences business, and which cannot be
taken from the business. 1t does not in
clude any surplus or earnings which may
be divided among the shareholders in

Missionary Anniversary,

The Sunday School Missionary anniversary
held under the auspices of the Asbnry NJ. +.
Church sunday School, last evening, was one OF
the most successful and pleasant entertainments
OF the KIND ever conducted by the managers oil
this Church. The building was densely crowded
some time before the time for opening the exer-
cises arrived, aud standing room, in little while,
was eagerly sought for where a semi-occasional
glimpee AZ the stage and its occupants might be
had. The pulpit had been removed, and in It's
place had been erected quite spacious stage,
which was decorated very beautifully with ever
greens aud flowers of every description the mind
could conceive, and the presence OF the female
infant class, all neatly atiired in white, rendered
the ornamental part Of ,hr entertainment conn
pete.
The programme consisted "i inalet IS kev.
Mr.. ronpkinS"n, OF Scott NJ. L. Chul.h, singing
by the school, and appropriate ADDRESSES 10 The
children by the Rcvs Mr.. Fraim, Chataln, Hill
and Stubbs. Between each address the school
enlivened the exercises by singing some very prct-
ty odes selected to suit the occasion.
The receipts by the school for missionary pur-
poses during the past term, was read by the Sec
retary, as follows: Morning session. 500 30 ;
afternoon session, S3i9.9l; total, Sil650.
Bouquets were very numerous, and were pre-
scnted TO several OF the scholars and ministers
during the progress OF the exhibition. An i'm
prcssyc and pleasant feature of the exercises that
was net mentioned on the programme was the
presentation to Rev Mr.. Stubbs, pastor Of the
church, by Rev. Mr.. Hill, of mon VI. i. Church,
III behalf OF the Bible class, of which MIR. Stubs
is the teacher, DR.. Caik's Commentaries on the
Bible, consisting of u volumes, bound very nicely.
This evidence OF appreciation Of his services by
his class was very gratifying TO MIR. Stubbs, 10
which he responded IN biiet but impressive
address. This entertainment was successful be-
yond the most sauguine expectations OF those
conducting it, and was undoubtedly as pleasant
TO the audience as it was rcmuucratvc to the

UTTERLY UNPOUNDED,

We are glad to learn that the following
statements, which were published in the
Picayue on Saturday morning, are now
declared by the same journal to be utterly
unfounded:
People hereabout have not made up their
minds to be dragged neck and crop INTO the
fold like FESTIVE bullocks into a canal boat,
nor do they take kindly to delivery from
evil by the Casarian process. They like
milder forms of treatment, and hence it
happened on last Sunday night that after a
certain talented divine up town had been
"lambasting his congregation in a fashion
considerably more robust than the model
we get from OEvet, a member, who deemed
himself specially aggrieved and injured,
stepped into the private sanctum of the
holy man and assaulted him in what he
conceived a justifable way, viz: with bone
and siAew.
1t is perhaps an argument against the
muscular philosophy that its extreme de-
auctions lead to such unpleasant consum-
nation. A haAd to hand scutfie between
the shepherd and the sheep who objects to
the severity of his solicitude is scarcely q
pleasing or salutary spectacle.
1t 10 said that on the occasion specially IN
view the shepherd triumphed, and the way
ward wanderer was flung with pi0us vio-
lence back into the fold-or, ct any rate,
out Of the vestry door; but We strongly
doubt whether this form Of recovery" will
ever attain great popularity with its objects,
or whether conversion achieved by the

The st. Louis Times saws:


The merchants and business men Of St.
Louis, and the towns and cities all along
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, so far as
these rivers are navigable. feel quite as
deep an interest in the improvement of the
mouth of the Mississippi as do the residents
of New Orleans. for it is to them that New
Orleans has to look to a great extent for her
trade and commerce.
And this is the cold-blooied excuse that
the Eads' organs have for prescribing that
unless one of their own citizens shall be
permitted to take charge Of the mode Of
Improvement, the river may close its out
let. 1t is, we believe, the Times itself that.
within few days past, published q pun Of
the upper Eads' obstruction known as the
railroad bridge. 1t spoke of the tunnel,
under the city, Of the central depot. at
which several thousands OF cars would
assemble, and Of the great bridge by
which all the commerce would be carried
across the Mississippi to New York and
other Atlantic ports. After this the Times
quotes the Picay,ne on the suspended
dredging as saying:
Should the passes become entirely blocked.
our commerce would suffer very much.
The Times then holds the Eads' nostrum
to the nose of New Orleans and intimates
that the way to revive the dredge appro-
priation is to pass the Eads bill. To
demonstrate the deep interest which St.
Louis takes in the Mississippi outlet. the
Times says:
This plan will furnish the distressed city
all the relief desired in due course Of time,
and no appropriation will be asked of Con-
gress until the work is prac tlcally demon
strated to be a success.
Now, the Picayune says, the passes will
be Immediately blocked, and the Times
tells us to await the action Of Mr.. Eads'
plan! The obstruction is immediate, the
relief can not be furnished for year, pos
sibly not at all. To withhold the
dredge appropriation aud remit us to the
Eads' experiment would surely close the
passes for year, and pos sibly for lon
ger period. What would st. Louis say to
such proposal with regard to her own
trade? She would say to Captain Eads,
'Open your tunnel and your bridge, make
your connection with the Eastern rail
roads; We will continue to send our export
commerce East as we do now, and if you
never succeed in your etty trap--why, well,
just make out with your bridge and tun-
nell" ''Feel quite as deep an interestin the
Improvement of the mouth of the Missis-
sippi as do the residents of New Orleans"
Amt you ashamed of yourself?

ACT NUMBER FIFTY-SEVEN.

In the multiplicity of business on last
Saturday it is said Governor Kellogg was
called on by number of gentlemen be-
longing to the Committee of Two Hun
bred, composed Of our coolest and best, =
who urged him to sign the above act, ex-
planatory of the fifteenth paragraph Of the
first section of act No. IA, approved March
5, 1872. Not having time to investigate
the character of the bill or to find out
whether it had really passed the Legisla-
ture, he was compelled to rely upon the
gentlemen in question for information in
regard to the same. They assured him
that the bill had passed both Houses, and
that it was of character in no wise detri-
mental to the State. With this assurance
from men whom he supposed would not
deceive him, or attempt in any man
ner to defraud the State, he was in
duced to sign the bill. Since doing this
the Governor, We are informed, has
reason to believe the bill did not pass the
the House; and we are further informed
that he has since learned that the bill was
engineered through the Senate in the in
terest Of insurance companies; and that,
if it had passed the House and been ap-
proved by the Governor, it would have
despoiled the State Of many hundred
thousands Of dollars justly due it II this
be true, it is fortunate if the bill really did
not pass the House, as in that event it can

THE HIGH WATER SCARE.

The pilot of the Thompson Dean and
the st. Louis Times may be excellent
author itv for any statement they make,
up to the date Of the narration. But we
submit that in these days of telegraph
wires and daily river reports, there are
better sources of information than slow
Cincinnati steamboat with advices from
Cairo six days old. Our best advices in
form US that the present rise is eight feet
less than that OF 1867. which was consid-
erably less than the great one of 1871.
The Ohio river is falling rapidly from
Pittsburg to the mouth, though there is a
prospect Of an ample stage of water for
steamboating. The Mississippi on Sum
Gay was falling slowly at st. Louis, a, the
rate OF thirteen inches day at Cairo, and
static nary at Memphis with an expected
immediate decline. Therefore we feel no
alarm for the curious food which seems
to have alarmed contemporary. The
''forty-.wo feet eight inches and still
rising which the pilot found 1T Cairo on
the tenth instant was changed before the
steamboat arrived here to forty feet ten
inches and sailing a. the rate OF over a
foot 8 day.

SURE ENOuGH.

The communication of the practical
Planter" published in the Picayune, has
found its way into the Eads organ at St.
Louis. This is exactly what it was con-
tributed for, to get the Eads scheme be-
fore the people, and then come back to st.
Louis as Endorsed by New Orleans
newspaper. By the way, there are two
conundrums which the Picayune has
never attempted to guess:
l. What persons connected with con-
sentative journal received some Of the
tainted and fraudulent bonds?
2. Who was the practical Planter"
that thinks Captain Eads project the
best for all descriptions of vessels?

ROYALISTS AT HEART.

4 correspondent of the New York Iri-
tuns says:
The pleasure OF life in Paris has been
som ewhat tempered during the last year or
two by the singular venom and fury with
viii CHI American women are attacked in the
min or French press. They are abused every
day as unchaste, vulgar, mercenary and al
toge ther improper.
it adds:
A portion of this malignant abuse is of
course political. The partisans of the mon
arehy naturally wish to throw all possible
discredit upon republican institutions, and
no more efectual means could be taken to-
ward this end than to represent democracy
in government as leading to decentralization
in society.
We occasionally see assaults upon re-
publican government in the United States,
possibly to give the writers a claim to
favor from the imperialists.

TO OUR REPREsENTATIVEsIN CONGRESS.

If the Eads experiment be reported it
will be proper to reserve the exclusive
contr oil and direction of the work to the
Topo graphical Bureau Of the government
First, there should be reconnaissance
ordered, be determined by a board
of en- gineers, whether the work
be pra cticable. It will be also necessary
to fix periods for testing the work in its
progre IS with power to arrest any abuse
or ev aston of the authority to occupy the
outlet. The bill now pending, which au-
thoriz es the government to control any
work under construction on private or
public account, should be amended with a
view to subjscting any work to the same
authority.
