inc Railroad Commission of
Georgia issues PeFemptOry
orders 10 the Roads,
snecial to the oourior-1ou.D.1

ATLANTA, GA, June 27-The
Railroad Commission to-day issued
several circulars, one of which is of
general Importance as indicating the
tendency OF the commission to take
control OF railroad details. By this
circular it is ordered that each rail
road company in the State, at each
freight station, shall provide on or
before September ample and suitable
depot or Shei room for tho reception
and protection from damage by
weather Of all merchandise that NAV
be offered for immediate shipment
over their respective routes. Where
depot room is not sufficient for this
purpose, the erection pf auitable sheds
is ordeped, TO be properly foored
rooted and inclosed on all sides. This
order Is peremptOry and regarded by
many railroad managers as tyranuicai.
but the commission is firm, and the
people indorse its action.

SPEAKING OF the great Southern
Exposition, which will be opened at
Louisville on the first of August, fer
100 days including Sundays, the Cou-
rier-JOurnal says:
The art gallery will be such an attrac-
ton as has never been secured in the West
or South. A fire proof building will be
ready for the pictures in few weeks, and
it will be filled with the choice pictures
from the private galleries In the East.
This is to be loan exhibition of unusual
value. New York art lovers send their
valuable paintings here as evidence of
their good will to the South, and Of
desire to have part in the work going
on here for the advancement of our peo-
pie in all that makes life beautiful and
desirable, in all that makes life worth
living. This gallery will draw visitors
from all sections Of the Union, and it
will be open TO the visitors at the Expo
sition, whenever the Exposition itself is
open.
This will give the many students
and lovers of art in our midst an Op.
portunity to sec collection of pic
lures equal, if not superior, to any in
this country, and there are just as
good pictures in this country as in
Europe. In fact. the wealthy art
lovers of the eastern cities have ran
sacked the picture stores and studios
Of all Europe for choice works. There
is no use going abroad this year, at
least to see fine pictures, when We are
to have such rare and valuable col.
lection at our very doors. Many Of
the artists and young students in
Memphis and other Southern cities
whose public taste is constantly be
coming better educated and more
critical, will no doubt avail thom>
selves of this fine opportunity. The
expense will be comparatively small,
the pleasure and the lasting benefit
| incalculable.

The government could duplicate tho
existing lines for from $50 0000.000 to
$25, 900 coo. yet tax of $l0,0O0,000 q
year was now levied upon the people
for telegraph messages; so that by an

mense benefits upon the people, save
them large sum yearly, and Mt the

Senator Edmonds, in continuing the

THE theory OF the persons who cali
themselves educators ia that if II he
granted that TO know something 10 i'm
portant to know every thing is more i'm.
portant; and therefore the State having
undertaken to furnish children with a
common education has committed itself
To the task OF also furnishing them
higher education. This theory a made
strong in so far "a it relates to the
agency Of the State. The State pro.
ceeds upon the benevolent idea that
without iis material aid many poor
children might not be able TO attain the
ruJiments OF knowledge. II therefore
takes upon itself the task Of teaching
them to read and write, and 10 give
them knowledge of arithmetic and
geography sufficient for a groundwork
of ordinary intelligence. Having done
so much, il has placed the higher
knowledge within the reach OF those
who desire 10 attain TO it. IL
can carry an equal and impartial he
nevolence no farther. What remains
TO be done is the proper work Of private
hands. The money of the State aP-
propriated to the dissemination OF a
higher education. except IN 80 far as IL
is used for the training Of teachers for
the common schools, is spent for the
benefit Of few. The great mass of
children are unable to avail themselves
Of il. When the money so spent is
needed TO furnish seats and improve
.he quality of training in the primary
sohools IL is a distinct tmisappropriation
and an abuse Of the largess Of the
State. - Philadelphid Record.

THERE are three Democrats remaining
in this Congress whose seats are con.
tested. They would have been thrown
out along With Others early in the first
session il there had been a shadow Of
ground for doing 1t. They have been
permitted to sit this long only because
nothing approaching case had been
made out against them. But something
must be done for the Republicans who
are contestiDg their seats. They must
have just what they set out to get--a
pull at the treasury. Therefore the
Republican members Of the committee
on elections have determined to report
in favor Of turning out Frost Of Missouri,
Richardson Of South Carolina. and
Manning of Mississippi, all Democrats,
and OF giving their seats TO their Repub.
lican contestants. Thus the Democrats
who have justly held these seats will
draw pay up TO the date Of their dis.
placement, and the Republicans who
are admitted to them will draw pay for
