in Augusta, Ga, the Cous,itutioDalist of that
city says: One of the most striking features of
the day was the appearance of the spIeodid
band of the Eighteenth U S. Infantry, 10 full
regulation uniform. 1t was as novel as it was
beautiful to see portion of the regular army
paying tribute to the dead Of armies they had
fought. 1t was but another token of that era
of siucere poace and friendship upoo which the
whole couotry is now rapidly entering, when
the animostirs eugendered by the strife are in-

King Street.

Much has been said about the depressed con-
diion of our city affairs, and much more can
be said in regard to the bad condition and m-
proper management of our streets. A great
incentive to the prosperity OF a city is good aud
passable thoroughfares. King street during
the late war was torn up and repaired by fines
collected from illicit liquor dealers, and very
credilable street it made, but what can We say
for it now? The recent enterprise, the horse
railway, started by lumber of impracticable,
but earnest gentlemen, came to grief uufortu-
DateIy, and 10 its failure klug street, upon
| which it was laid, has been destroyed as a
| thoroughlare; the pavement toro up aud ouly
partially replaced by meD never having had Il
paving stone before in their hands. aud the re-
suit is obvious to every ref criog mind. Trade
must be driven from that street aud vehicles
seek the back streets and alleys for safety. To
properly appreciate its iutolerabe condition a
ride by the city fathers should be taken over 1t
10 substantial vehicle, aud will venture that
that ride will satisfy them it will require more
than the patience OF sl0ner, nay more than
the piety of christian, to keep an even TEN
per. Something should be doue, and that at
once. Certainly if the railroad is too poor to
take up the track and properly replace the
pavement the corporation should do II. The
iron would sell for enough to replace the cob
BILE stone properly and put the street 10 lis
former good condition. Is it to be admitted
for moment that the horse railway was TO
monopolize the street, even if it had been
success; and now that it has proven failure.
are the citizens who pay taxes upon their carts,

dition of affairs is allowed to exist. | under

we're so wIIiog to impose The fine could not cx-
meet him to drive in the middle of the street,
as that to ny knowledge is dangerous to body
and limb as we'll as to vehicles. The whole
thing is az outrage, and would not be allowed

The Deseret News denies that Brigham
Young, at the recent church conference repeat
ed the injunction of an Indian prophet that his
race should resist the United States Govern
meut; and kill all the D. s. troops sent against
them" The News says that the Indian reve-
latiou repeated was to the effect that eff the
whites or the soldiers came upon them they
must not fight or resist the soldiers, but let
them kill the Indians if they desired, for death
was only like going to sleep and they, if killed,
would wake up 10 much better land than they
had here"

The Washington correspondent of the Bos'
ton Journal says the decisions Of the SUI
prcue Court furnish some fat pickings and
some great losses for the lawyers. The Elgee
cotton cases, involving 1866, 900. we're decided
10 favor of British claimants. Their attorney,
Carlisle, receives fee Of 20 per cent Of
thi. entire sum. Ben Butler, who was on the
other side 10 the case, loses prospective con-
tiugeut fee of IS per cent, and au actual cash
investment oil $25, 900, which Butler had paid
for the interest of Buuchard 10 this claim. As
an offset to this claim Butler has won the Far
ragut prize cases, The judgment is 100000,
of which SAC. 900 is to be divided between But
Ter and three associate counsel.
