COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE CooKE.-The Charlotte
observer, after quoting the recent ex preston of
opinion Of Judge Cooke on the conflict of juris-
diction between the State and Federal Courts in
regard to the violations of State laws by Feder-
nj employees, goes on 10 say: "We are proud
to see such judges as Schenck, Kerr and Cooke
standing up for the rights Of the people in re-
sistanceto to Federal aggression, which, unchecked
is SO apt to override State sovereignty. tbs the
assertion of such rights as this-the right of
each individual State to try and punish its own
criminals-that we must depend spon to check
the Capitalization Of all power in ths General
government. Such rights this yielded with
out struggle, the cession of other rights will
be resisted with less vehemence, until, by and by,
he States will lose their distinctive features, and
State governments and State laws will become
but show and n mockery."

HELL
 The Concert.

The concert last Friday night came off in due season. The opening chorus was well rendered. The sing CTS were arranged gracefully, and the tableau in the centre was quite an addition.
 The "Three Graces" by Misses Katie Potts, Jamie Thach and May Battenfeld was most charming tab leau. Little girls, if your career on life's stage is as gracefully acted, Russellville may be proud to call you it's Three Graces.
 MT. & Mrs Jones was the next best piece on the programme. It was perfect. Miss Pruitt and Mr. G. W. Shinn deserve a great deal of credit for their dignity and self pos session. Young people there is q deal of truth in the piece, and before you take the leap look we'll into the matter.
 The only thing that came near be- ing failure was Diamonds and the Toad" and 1 think that was partly because some of the perform CTS had to get their parts on such short time, and because some envi- ovs person refused to let the actors have the book containing the piece. However, we hope it will be entire ly overlooked.
 The Gypsey Countess, by Miss Davis and MT. J. H. Shinn was very, very we'll sung and acted.
 One young lady spoke above whisper on the steps of the dressing room, and was sarcastically reproved by LADY.
 Altogether the concert was sue cess.
 Such are the criticisms of close observer, and trust they are not too severe.

THE END OF THE STRIKE.

We are proud to be able to an nounce to our readers that the great strike is ended, and that order has been restored and the regular traffic over the various roads involved re- sumed.
 The lesson taught by this strike should not be lost It shows clearly that there is latent cause for a feeling of distrust and envy between labor and capital winch may at any tune throw us into anarchy and tur- moil. This cause should be remov- ed. If it is for want of legislation which will force these two great mo- tive powers-labor and capital--to respect each other, the proper legis- lation should be enacted. If it is from the mismanaged financial pol icy of our government, that evil should be looked after and corrected. Whatever may be the cause we opine that but little relief will be afforded until there shall be com plete change in the parties who are controlling the government.

TEXAS AND PACIFIC R. Is.
What aid is Wanted---Why it is Wanted, and why it Should
 be Granted.
enue only.

The frank and clear statement in regard to the Texas and Pacific Railroad, contained ill late num- Der of the Richmond Va. ) Dispatch, is so pointed, and the reasoning so cogent and sound that we take great pleasure in reproducing the article in our columns As this must be- come prominent theme of discus sion we commend careful perusal of the matter as presented by the Dispatch. We quote from our con tempory as follows:
 "The Texas and Pacific Railroad Company asks of Congress no dona- tion of lands, no appropriation of money, no subsidies, no guarantee of the principal bonds; but simply a guarantee of the interest, under cir Icumstances and conditions that rem der it almost impossible that a dol lar can ever be required to be paid on such guarantee"
 Why, then, is the guarantee re- quired?
 Because it will save many mill ions of dollars to the company in the enhanced prices at which the bonds can be sold, and many mill ions more Tn the interest account, as with Government guarantee five per cent bonds will bring more than ten per cent. bonds without It.
 Because, in the second place, it will be impossible to sell the bonds at all, or build the road without such guarantee. and the country must long remain undeveloped and unpro- ductiye.
 Why should this application be favorably considered?
 Because, instead of asking for money or land, the company pro poses to surrender to the Govern ment thirty millions of acres pre- viously granted, and which the con struction of the road will render valuable.
 Because there is no bribery, cor ruption, or Credit Mobilier in the scheme. It is open, honest and straightforward, The issue of bonds is proposed to be limited to actual requirements under cash contracts, with Government supervision. The Construction Company to whom the contract was first allotted has agreed
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-02

to surrender the contract for actual cash expended.
 1 Because the Government will save Iannually more in coss of transporta
 tion than the whole of the interest guaranteed, while it is not probable
 that single cent will ever be paid on such guarantee.
 Becanse it will put an end to In dian depredations, and relieve the Government from heavy expenses for military protection. Because it will give the shortest and best line to the Pacific, free from snows, and the only one that will accommodate the Southern States.
 Because after extending aid to the northern and Central Pacific roads, and establishing q policy, it is now too late, ungenerous and un- fair to change the policy and refuse to the Southern line the aid requir- ed, when it can be extended with out risk and with great advantage to the Soycrnment.
 Because it will open up the finest agricultural, grazing and mineral region of the United States, and afford communication with the mines of Mexico and establish yalu. able trade with that country.
 Because the Central and Union Pacific roads now earn $iI,000 per mile, 70 per cent. of which is from local business; and it is simply i'm possible that better line, through . better country, with greater re- sources, should not earn half as much; but less than half will enable the company to pay the whole of the interest, to which, also, all the income of the company's lands and 5000 per mile of bonds are pledged.
 Because it will give employment to tens of thousands of laborers now idle, give new impetus to suspend ed industries, and distribute tens of millions of foreign capital secured at low rates of interest.
 Because the company is pledged to permit no discrimination in favor of Northern agalnst Southern lines and the advantages of the latter will enable them, in fair and open com petition, to secure thelr full share of the business.
 Because the ten millions of dollars that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have expended in South ern Ines between Baltimore and Mobile is a sure guarantee that, if possible to prevent it, this large capital will not be allowed to re main unproductivc.

The Concert Friday Evening.

MR. EDlToR: l wish to say a word by way of commcndation of the entertainment given last Friday eve ming at the Methodist church. The ladies and gentlemen who took so much interest in preparing every thing for the occasion, and who had everything so tastefully and conven- iently arranged in the unfinished church building, are certainly enti- tied to much credit. The audience was not only pleased but well enter tained. All concerned in it seemed to have excrted themselves to make it interesting. Mrs. F. E. Barrow, who gave so much time and atten- tion to the training of the perform CTS and who furnished the music for the occasion, ought to feel that her efforts are fully appreciated by all who are capable of appreciating a disinterested public act for the ben eft of the church. There were many of the ladies whose singing WAS very good--especially that of Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Moseley, Miss Fruit and Miss Davis. We hope there will be much larger house on Fri day evening next. c.
