Washington dispatches say that Lloyd As
pinwall has made arrangements with French
capitalists for all the needed funds to build the
long talked of ship canal across the peninsula
of FLORIDA, and all the company now wants to
commence operations is an act of the Florida
Legislature granting the work An exemption
from taxation for twenty five years. Our rec
objection Is, that the proposed canal will com.

lib cases, 3 deaths.

The colored people have generally refused
to move to the camps, giving as reason tina,
thele are very few cases of fever among them
anyhow, and that with the immortality and ir
regularity of camp lite they would suffer
more from disease than by staying in theil
homes in the city. They have sent an agent
north TO solicit contributions.
Among the more painful deaths during the
week were those of two Catholic priests, Rev
Fathers Fahey and Doyle. The latter, about 81
years old, had come to Memphis last Decem
Der, and being unacclmated was urged &c
leave. He felt it his duty, like Father Fahey
to stick to his post, and both are now relieved
by the higher power.
Although the scourge in Memphis Is thus
far a trihe to what it was last year, the condi
ton of the city is lamentable enough. She is
wholly shut off from the outside world those
in the city not being allowed to leave nor those
outside allowed to come IN until the embargo
some two or three months hence, shall be rails
ed by frost.
There are no signs yet OF any alarming
spread of the disease. There is a report tina,
il is increasing at Mississippi city, between
Mobile and New Orleans. but at the latter city
there was not single case on Wednesday,
though two new cases were discovered on
Thursday There were but two fever deaths
during the week.

GoOD FOR COUNTY COMNIssIONERs.-One of
the laws passed by the last Legislature, devoid
of sense, justice or reason, was an act prohibit
ing County Commissioners from receiving more
than 500 in any one year for their services.
County Commissioners do not receive half
enough pay for the amount of labor they have
to do, and the pulling, hauling, aud annoy
ance generally that they have to submit to.
In the large Counties, it is absolutely necessary
for them to meet every month, and they can
never complete their business under three to
five days. Hence there is no reason why they
should be prohibited from receiving pay for the
work and time that are required of them. But
it seems that the Legislature botched this law,
like almost everything else, thus rendering it
imperative and Of no effect. The Attorney Gen
eral SO decides, in an opinion written at the re-
quest of the Chairman of the County Board of
Shawnee County, and therefore County Com
missioners are entitled to pay themselves for the
work they do. The following is the opinion:
ToPEKA, June @, 1879.
DEAR SIR:-By letter of the 10th inst, you say the
County Board wocid be pleased TO know my opinion
to the constitutionaty of the rorso to see J., ch
92 laws Of 1879, fixing the salary of County Commits
sioners at 500 per annum. Responding, have to
say, that In my Judgment the manner in which said
rorisoi inserted In the section s clearly oht0ifed by
Sec l6 art g. of the Constitution 1t would indeed be
violent presumption to that the intention OF the
Legislature to determine the compensation of the
Commissioners could be gathered either from the IL
tie of ch 3d. laws 1879. or from the Act which said
chapter amends. Theirs is not the least intima
ioa of such intention No one reading the title
would look into the body of the Act TO learn what
compensation was allowed County Commissioners.
am bound TO hold that the subject embraced in the
proriso not clearly expressed in the title, and 1t is
therefore void

Attorney General
