In the Southern Presbyterian General
Assembly at Vicksburg last Saturday
night the report submitted by the Com
mittee on Cooperation with the Northern
Presbyterian church, which in substance
declines the presentation of any plan of CO.
operation, refuses the joint occupancy Of
the Danville Seminary, and declares that
the deliverances of former Assemblies ex-
press the mind of the Church as fixed
against organic union was unanimously
adopted. The purport of the action of
this Assembly respecting organic union is
Enthusiastically this:
"That while fraternal relations are es-
tablished, and while alienation from the
Northern brethren in heart or in act
would be condemned, yet the distinct ex-
istence of Southern Presbyterian Church
is the unanimous sentiment and principle
of the Vicksburg Assembly, not upon Sec
tional or political conditions. but upon
the conviction that the Presbyterian
Church South would lose much of its eff
cheney by an organic union or amalgama-
ton with the Church North. Any other
action at this time would divide the
Church and lead to disturbance of the fra
ternal relations so happily begun"
The Assembly decided to correspond
with the Northern Assembly in the fu-
ture by letter, instead Of by delegates.

The Democratic party cannot afford ia
allow the Blair school appropriation bill,

Republicans have majority, to die in the

Democrats control. No more fatal error
can be committed by any party than to

We hope the Dem ocratic congressman

said by the man who practiced statesman

THE COUNTY ROADS.

| This week Judge Hudson appointed
the Commissioners and Directors under
the new road law. and the machinery now
goes into operation. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the people of our county will
give this law their active and willing co.
| operation. Without the aid of the people,
willingly and intelligently accorded, the
best law may prove failure, just as a
great deal of good may be expected from
even defective law when it is in accord
with the minds of the people and receives
| their favorable support. We suppose that
no road law that could be devised would
be apt to receive the endorsement of every
body. Many years of wrestling with the
problem of good roads IN Augusta by our
legislators has failed so far to produce a
perfect plan for road improvement, but
we are glad to hear from citizens OF Au-
gusta who are fully capable from expert
ence Of expressing an opinion, that the
new road law if put in general and thor
ough operation is likely to prove the begin
ming of new and progressive era for the
county.
So important is the subject of good
roads, and so much to be desired is thor
ough understanding of the new system,
that we give up good deal of valuable
space to-day to reproduce the law in full
One most desirable feature is, that if the
law is not carried out it will not be diff
cult to place your hand upon the officers
directly responsible, a fact that will give
the new system more responsibility to the
people and less of that hazy, nebulous
sort Of condition that has attended so
many of the road laws OF the past.
The first step will be the levy recon-
mended by the local Boards of Road Com
missioners. This should necessarily be
liberal one, for the first levy is obliged to
be larger IN order to put the law in opera
ton; later it will be less. And we think
from the present spirit prevailing among
the county people, they are willing to pay
more if they can only be sure that better
roads aviU follow the expenditure.
