We chronicle with pleasure the meet
ing of merchants yesterday, and publish
elsewhere the names of the committees
appointed at that meeting 10 canvass
the city for money and food for the peo-
pie OF the country below us who are
threatened with starvation by reason of
the flood. For some days, and ever
since the appeal from the gov
ernor of Louisiana and mayor
Of New Orleans, the APPEAL has
urged upon the people of the
city the necessity for prompt action. We
are very happy to say it has not been In
vain. and that the names Of the CON-
mitteehen and the mode of work adopt
ed by them, are most likely to insure
successful canvass of the city in behalf
of a people sorely afflicted, as well as the
proper distribution of the supplies and
money TO be subscribed. We add
our importunities to those of the
committee, and trust that all classes
Will voluntarily tender what they can
in the way of aid, and so tighten the la
bors of the committeeman.

From an Occasional Correspondent
HUNTSVILLE, ALA, April 26, lS74.-
listened to-day to two very interesting
sermons from DR.. +. A. Ross, of the
PRESBYTERIAN church, and one by Mr..
Bannister, ,ofthe Episcopal church. There
ia one remarkable fact about the people
Df this place, and that is, they seldom
change their preachers. DR.. Allen was
pastor Of the Presbyterian church for
many, very many years, and he was
followed by DIR. Ross, who has been
here for fifteen or twenty years, 80 that
they have had only two pastors within
the last thirty-five years. Mr.. Lay, now
BISHOP Lay, and Mr.. Bannister are the
only rectOrs that have had charge of the
Eoiscopal church since it has been OF
Vanized here. This is unusual, and,
therefore, worthy of notice.
l could mention the causes why this
town, beautiful as it is, does not i'm
prove, but, as might be considered OH
cious and impeTtinent, L will not do 80.

THEAFFLTCF.D OF MEMPHIS.

During the prevalence of the yellow
fever in this city last fall, the county
court Of Maury county voted an appro-
pnation Of five hundred dollars to the
sick and afflicted of Memphis, with on
ly one dissenting voice. Recently we
see from the Columbia Herald that a
man by the name Of John Ballaniant
has been endeavOring to have the mag
istrates indicted for this noble and chris
tian act, and because the lawyers of Col
umbia, with q magnanimity worthy of
them, volunteered to defend the magis-
trates, this same man has been writing
articles in the Herald against the magis-
trates and the Columbia lawyers, aceus-
ing them of having formed 3 combina-
ton TO oppress the taxpayers. The fol-
lowing extract from the Herald shows
how his articles are received in Maury.
Colonel Myers is not only a prominent
lawyer, but one Of the largest taxpayers
in the county. He doubtless speaks the
sentiments Of the whole bar and Of the
entire community. In the name of the
afflicted Of our city we return them
thanks:
In the course OF his remarks before the
county court, last Monday, while the subject
OF Eurnplkes and railroads " as under con-
sideration. l.. ID. Myers, Esq, referred 70 The
communication in last HerGLd and Mdtl, sign
ed 'Fanx," and denounced in unmeasured
terms the author. He said that II there be any
persons in the county that condemn the
county court in the appropriation of the nYe
aiid will call upon him, be will pay them their
prora1a Of the nve hundred dollars. a large
NUM- Der Of citizens were present and listened
with marked attention TO the remarks OF
Mr.. Myers, who was frequently applauded.

THE American people once main-
tanned that one generation had no right
TO entail debt upon posterity. But this
faIlacy has exploded of late years. IT is
not equitable TO infiict the cost Of public
works of enduring character, created or
constructed for the benefit of succeeding
generations, upon the people of to-day.
Taxes LEVIED for the construction of any
permanent enterprise that is to benefit
coming generations for ages should be
distributed over a long series Of years,
and not be exacted from those who re-
ceive the least benefit from the proposed
improvements. Our courthouse, jail,
school-baildings are built for all time to
come, and posterity should be made to
pay something for the buildings trans
mitted to them. Pay as you go,
should be the motto Of individuals, but
il is unjust to taxpayers to say to them
pay as you go in building great works
that are to benefit posterity more than
the present generation.
