q Some time ago a telegram from
. Mexico announced that the conces-
sion granted by the Mexican gov
ernment to Mr. EADs for ship rail.
way at Tehuantepec has passed the
chamber of deputies by unani,
nous vote. A private telegram re-
ceived from Mexico late last even
ing announces that the concession
has also passed the senate.
We heartily congratulate Mr..
oEADs over his great success. No
higher compliment could have been
paid to him than that involved in
the action of the government and
congress of our sister republic. 1t
indicates the high regard in which
Mr.. EADs is held, and discloses the
most perfect faith in his ability to
accomplish anything which he may
undertake.
We understand that the conces-
sion as granted by the government
has not been changed or modified
in any material matter by congress
Some light changes have been
made, but they are all Of a character

traits, and for fear we might again
recover>them kept-us under igno-
rant negroes and thieving carpet
baggers' rule for years; then taunt
us by contrasting their wealth with
our poverty! A good way to show
want of "malignity." Thank GOO
that He is blessing sus with such
prosperity as, they never had, ex,
cept when their STEAMBOATS, and
railroad cars returned loaded with
the plunder of Southern homes.
AS we have led them in virtue and
intelligence in the past, SO we are
doing again, ,Aand by Gods blessing
we will continue to do.

to increase rather than diminish the
value of the grant and make it even
more acceptable 4 to the United
States government.
We feel assured that when Mr..
EADs goes to Washington next
winter with this concession, he will
find no difficulty in securing the CO.
operation and aid of our govern
ment. Congress will not be willing
to disregard the generous profiers
of Mexico looking to the consum-
nation of work which cannot
fail to be of immeasurable benefit
to the people of both countries.

throughout the country. What did

:
throughout the country. What did
you pay for it yesterday or to-day? !?
May be s, cents in some localities, as
a leader to secure your custom; but
7, s. and 10 cents in other places.
Where the stock is mostly made UP
of that at s. cents it can all be sold
very we'll at 7 or s cents and good
profit be made, though 7 cents may
have been paid for some of it; just
enough that it can be said no one
in town has any better brands than
you see here. And beside the man
can truthfully say I paid 7 cents
And an article can be found so
trifiing and bought so low that it
can be sold for 5 cents, retail, and
money be made on it: and some get
that to get the reputation of being
the cheap house.
A factory sells wagons by the
quantity to the jobber for $40 and
$50; the jobber to the retail dealer
for $44 to SIS; the retail dealer to
the individual customer, one at a
time, for $50, 500, or $IoO, depend.
ing on locality and the number he
can sell in a year. SO with every
thing. The larger the quantity one
man can sell the cheaper. If he
can sell one hundred wagons in the
same time it would take to sell one
81 profit to the wagon pays him the
same that 500 profit on one wagon
would pay Give your CO opera
tive men the custom in amount thai
makes them the equal of any other
jobber and he will get you these
benefits; that is to say, he will make
the profit the jobber or retail men
gets, and you, the customer, will
get all of that back in dividends
save enough to pay the actual ex-
penses of the business. Confidence
on your part, reader, sufficient tc
beget action, is what you want
You see the theory of cooperation
is correct. But unless you crack
the nut yourself by giving custom
to it, you will perish with only the
shell between you and the kernel

As,vs E}ifors ~ have read with much in
leresi the controversy which has been progress
ing in your paper 10 regard 80 the State Gu
dowmcnt of St Johns College, aud regret IN
common suppose with most Of Your readers, the
personal direction il has taken. The lersunali-
ties have nothing o do with the main issue be-
tween the disputauls aud ought IN my opinion,
never 10 have hc,u introduced, because they are
impairment and the general public can feel only
remote Interest. 1t any ia them This main is
sue, however. Is question OF public concern and
is a Legitimate subject Of debate
Practical sltesmanship has TO do With many
Institutions Ia ihis world which though they
never ought % have been set mp, Il may be the
pnincst impolicy to pull down, except cautious
IN pr hy degrees | am not certain that ST.
Johns College ever ought 10 have been set up
At the public cx pensc, but am certain that Il Is
no more entitled 10 be pulled or RACED down than
Brooke Female Seminary in Baltimore, Char
lotle Hall Academy and st. Mary Female Sem
mary IN this county and other public endowed
institutions 10 the State. Why special war is
made on ST. Johns College passes my compre-
hension. Let us understand one another. DO
the enemies Of ST. John favor The disendow-
mcnt Of that College and the retention ofendow-
menis to Brooke school Charlotte Hall Acade-
my and St. Marys Female Seminary? they
do, why do they ? But we are sure they do not.
1t is against the principle Of endowment, we
suppose, that they contend. II this be 80, and
this question must he inruded into our local
politics. let the issue on the legislative ticket
next Fall be joined, not against ST. Johns Col
lege alone, bnt against endowmenls 10 all Col
leges and Academies in the State, male aud te-
male including Biookes School, Charlotte Hall
Academy and St. Marys Female Seminary.
