The report Of Mr.. WINDOWS comnl1'e9 .,
the Tinted States Senate, on the su'ject o'
improvements needed to facilitate transpor;
,ation. Is of character that should excite no
snrnrise. No committee Of congressman
from the several sections OF the Union Is
likely 70 concentrate their appreciation upon
one line Of improvement. Gentlemen owe
their constituents . duty, or think they do'
and that is not to forget their local interests
So we fud ;hat the Senate committee ha'e
distributed their favors over wide s"f'aeo'
We have not a doubt the cen'ra' "A'o.

location especially marks it as caieulateu 10

,eas. Of all liable to climatic Interruptions
and objections.
The propositions Of the committee con-
corning railroads are impracticable. The
railroads are abundant already, and the real
want of the country is not likely to be much
promo,ed by their multiplication across Tue

We do not think Congress will be inclined
70 run the railroads. The committees work

policy is to help through the water me-

The Merchants Tax-Gov. kemper.

To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Our Governor, in his last message, pro-
posing a commission to revise and change
our present Constitution, says:
lit puts unusual and needless restrictions
upon the legislative power, which cripples
the Government in its efforts to eqaatze the
burdens Of taxation and to restore the State
credit"
Now, our Legislature has passed tax bill
which imposes on merchants tax upon their
capital fifteen times rs great as they impose
upon the landed sentlemen OF the State, IN
direct rtola!ion of the muck-abused prese .E
Constitution. Viii the Governor show his
regard to the faithful execution Of the pres
ept Constitution by restssing this infamous
and unjust law OF the Legislature, or win
the people oppressed snve to rely upon the
Supreme Court OF the State to protect them
from the uDjus. legislation of their Sspre'
sentatiyess
If Justice, cannot be done under the pres
ent Constitution the people will hardly fee
disposed to go through the fo7mality o
changing it. Is our lsw.makers so know
ingly in direct violation OF it, what use i
there In having any Constitution at all.

The Meeting on Friday.

The meeting In Assembly Hall on Friday
night most triumphantly adopted the rcso'
lutions of the Chamber of Commerce Oh TIC
Dan,ilIc railroad gauge question as oui
readers know, the Dispatch of Saturday
having given full report of it.
There had been a great deal Of "Fc'fo'
fun" On behalf Of those who took SroundS
against the action of the Chamber OF Com
ucrcc. But there never was weaker per
formance to so laundering an Introductory
as that Of the Fefo.fummerS. 1et 1t "' =,
not surprising, for their "hao'e'''1o''
cond no more stand against common Sc''se
,h,n cou,d frost resist the rays of the sun.
p;cnmond was deeply interested IN the
,nas,;o, ond 80 WAS Virginia. The Dan
willie read has now two breaks, ana when
,vo include its convection through Rich
,,ond ria tie Fredericksburg road it has
three. In freishts break Is delay tahta-
mount to one hundred and twenty miles,
according to statement made by Mr.. b.
poEp. To get rid Of one Of the breaks Wculd
expedite transportation twelve hours. AND
A the Danvilie road is our main source OF
business just at this time it is OF great In
tercst to Richmond that that time in trans
portation should be saved, or rather gained.
Mr.. Brrorp declared in the meeting on
Friday that the lsauville company never
contaminated change of their gauge, ex-
,cpt as an alternative in case they were pre- |
vented from changing the gauge IN North
Carolina Tor distance of uinety-two miles
,rtveen Greensboro and Charlotte. This |
,napge the DanyilIe road is prevented from
nakiug by injunctions so often alluded
0 in this controversy. Dir. BUPoRD said |
bat they had uncovered their opponents
efficiently to kaow who were backing up
hose injunctions. Then, who are they q? 1t
would throw flood of light upon the SUBJ
,ct to let the world know.
Whether the application of the Danville
Dad to the Legislature will be granted or
ot, We cannot say. 1t ought to be; but
be session is nearly ended, and there is but
tile time left. Our opponents are fighting
he battle of delay. and will use none Of the
xpedientS they have threatened to employ.
hey swore oaths more emphatic than that
L SAM JONES" on the Almanac that they
would 'repeal" everything. They ,ciN re-
eal nothing. We dare them to touch the
barter of the Lynchburg and Danvillc rail-
'oad. A bill has been introduced into the
senate to repeal'the len mile construction
granted 10 all roads, aud that bill!
will never get OH its legs. 1t is an assault
lpon every railroad in the State. No, "re-
,eui" is only a foil.

the Office. We acknowledge the broad
principle that difference of opinion is
not crime, and hold that progress to-
ward truth is made by differences of
opinion, while the fault lies in the
bitterness of controversy. We desire
q proper equality, equity, and fairness;
propection of the weak; restraint up
on the strong; in short, justly distribu-.
ted burdens and justly distributed
power. These are American idess,
the essence of fAmerican independence
and to advocate the contrary is un-
worthy of the sons and daughters of
an American republic. We cherish
the belief that sectionalism is, and Of
right should be, dead and buried with
the past. Our work is for the present
aud the future. In our agricultural
brotherhood and it's purposes We shall
recognize no North, no South, no
East, no West. 1t is reserved by
every patron, as his right as free
man, to affiliate with any party that
will best carry out his principles.
Sixth - Ours being peculiarly y

all to our ranks. Many are excluded
by the nature Of our organization, not
because they are professional men, or
artizans or laborers, but because they
have net q sufficiently direct interest
in tilling or pasturing the soil, or may
have some interest in conflict with our
purposes; but We appeal to all good
citizens for their cordial cooperation
I to assist us in our efforts toward re-
form, that we may eventually remove
from our midst the last vestage Of ty-
! ranny and corruption. We hail the
general desire for fraternal harmony,
equitable compromise, and earnest CO.

Seventh-It shall be an abiding
principle with us to relieve any of our
oppressed and suffering brotherhood
by any means at our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it
4 among our purposes to inculcate a
proper appreciation of the abilities
and sphere of woman, as is indicated
by admitting her to membership and
position in or order. lnplOring the
continued assistance of our Divine
Master to guide us in our work, we
here pledge ourselves to faithful and
harmonious labor for all future time
to return, by our united efforts, to the
wisdom, justice, fraternity, and politi-
cal purity of our forefafhers.

Liquor De.ler. in Trouble.

The liquor vendors may we'll say
that misfortunes never come singly.
The pertinacity Of the women's tenn
perance crusade, with prayer book
and hymns for their arms, is not the
only trouble that menaces the saloon
keepers. From an article in the Illi-
nois Stats Zeitung, it appears that
the brewers have resolved to raise the
price of beer $2 per barrel, which
means ruin to many of the smaller
establishments. The indignation
which this news has excited among
the lager beer providers is indescriba-
BILE, and eager are the consultations
held to consider how best to meet the
impending blow. They denounce the
raise as an extortion on the part of
the brewers, and talk Of importing
their beer from abroad. Should the
worst come to the worst, mime hosts =
propose to reduce the size of the
glasses, in accordance with the times,
and squeeze eight Layers" out of a
quart in stead of six that are dis
pensed now. In view of such con-
tingency, it is proposed to have a
sufficient stock Of new glasses ordered
from Pittsburg manufactory.-Inter.

doned the business. His lager has

half q million of money. The aban-

come. Among other reasons alleg-
ed was that of the influence ofa re-
