The state Sunday School Convention
will meet at Columbus on the 23d of April.
1t is expected that the attendance will be
large. There will be between 700 and 800
delegates, besides a great many vis-
itors. The convention Will continue three
days and will doubtless transact large
amount of business which will be benefi-
ciaI to the Sunday school cause in GeOr-
gia. At present Sunday schools through
out the State are in a very iourishing
condition. A deep interest is
taken in them which is a
good indication of a healthy, social
tone. Our Sunday schools should be as
sisted and encouraged in every possible
way. The good they accomplish is far
greater than is generally understood.
In communities where the Sunday schools
are well attended there is generally to be
found a thrifty, peaceable and prosperous
peODle; there Is a marked absence Of
rowdies and rOwdyism and of crimes and
criminals. Columbus enjoys a wide
reputation for hospitality, and those who
attend the convention will undoubtedly
meet with a hearty welcome.

Col. John NJ. COyle recently bought a
house at Charlestown, w. Va, and in
tearing down a porch in the rear of the
building discovered the timbers of what
he claims to be the veritable scatfold on
which old John Brown was hanged on
December Is, 1859. He says each board
and beam was numbered, and on being
put together the complete scaffOld was re-
constructed. Col. COyle no doubt thinks
he has made good speculation, and he
may be able to sell the old lumber of his
porch for much more than the house and
lot cost him. There are many people in
the country who would give more for this
scaffold than they would for one of the
many true crosses which are so common
in Europe. If there is any demand for
this kind of lumber during the approach
ing campaign, probably the people of
CharlestOwn and vicinity can by diligent
search bring to light quite a number of
genuine John Brown scaffOlds, so that the
Republican committee can have at least
one to exhibit throughout each doubtful
Northern State.

There are some queer notions enter
tanned in England respecting American
railroad stocks. 1t cannot be said, how
ever, that they are altogether incor-
| rect. In fact, they have a certain
shading of truth. Mr.. Henry Labou-
chere. Member of Parliament and edi-
tor of the London Truth, answers some
of his correspondents in the columns OF
his paper as follows: Il receive frequent
letters from correspondents asking me
whether American railroads have not
reached at last their bottom prices, and
whether it is not time to buy them?
There is no time at which such pur-
chase is wise one. Railroads in America
are not made for the benefit of shareholders,
but in order to enable directors and others
to plumber shareholders. Railroads are
built and equipped out of the money
obtained by the sale of bonds. The shares
are merely counters invented forpurposes
of gambling. Each railroad is In the
hands of some railroad king. By
arrangements between themselves as
to traffic, ETC., these kings can
raise or depreciate the shares OF any
particular railroad. Sometimes they
quarrel, when the Stock Exchange be-
! comes their battle ground; but, as rule,
they find it more remunerati7e to com
bine against the public. This is how the
! enormous fortunes have been made, which
| throw into the shade those of European
| millionaires. An American railroad
king has very likely his own code of
honor, but it is a peculiar one. He con-
siders that he has a perfect right to make
money out of his best friend, and he can
do so by betraying him, this increases
his pleasure. If any one were to protest
against this view of ethics, the king would
reply that the game of speculation has its
/ rules, and that, like brag or poker, its es-
! sence is to deceive friend and foe. How,
then, can Englishmen suppose that they
are likely to get the better of these astute
| and large-minded monarchs?"
