tucky RiverNavigation Company. Reversed.

THKMM OP THK COrRT WAS DEMVKRKD BT

HA.10IX, JUTHit.

The Kentucky River Navigation Companywas incorporated by the Legislature of Ken-

tucky, March l»t, 1 *t>5: its business, us declir-

cd in the act of incorporation, being the

"improvement of the navigation of the Ken-

tucky river and it* tributaries by buildingad-

ditioual locks and dams." The capital stock

of the coinpmy was required to;be $1,500,000;

but it was authorised to organise and proceed

M business as soon as n subscription of f200,-

000 dollars should have been obtained.

Among other powers conferred by the char-

ter, the corporation was authorized lo estab-

lish tolls for the transp ortatiou of person and

ers ba untenable, the result must be a rever-

sal of the judgment.

Deference for the action of the legislative

branch of the government, not less than a

just and proper appreciation of the great ira

portauce and magnitude of the enterprise in-

volved, would lead us, if we could with pro-

priety, and consistently with official doty, to

determine this cause by the solution of some

one or more of the minor and less important

questions presented, leaving undecided tho

graver ones direcCy affecting the constitu

tional validity of the charter. Bitthenatur-

of the coutrovorsy is such as to call for a d

cision on the fundamental grounds of the d-

fense relied on in the court below, and we do

not feel ut liberty to go around a plain duty,

merely because the task of discharging it is

uu unwelcome and au undesirable one to us

Itbai been argued, that as the fact of incur-

property over the Kentucky river and its tri- I poration involved a leasing to the company of

butaries within the influence of its improve-J the public works on the Kentucky river,

of the charter, provided, that, "so soon us the

of the Commonwealth, without a submission

he proposed tax prohibited by the 14th sec-

tion of the Bill of Bights, in the words, "nor

|sball any man's property be taken or applied

t j public use without the consent of his rep-

': resentati ves, and without, just compensation

! being previously made to him?"

The power of taxation is certainly an inher-

ent right of sovereignty, and indispensible

to the very existence of government; but an-

other great fundamental principle is equally

true, that the constitutional guaranty of prop-

erty is not only the citizen's security against

puliation, though attemoted nnder the

guise of taxatiou, but also against the im-

position ot unequal and undue assessments on

the part of the government. And while it is

undeniably true that the Legislature, as the

general depository of power, subject to the

limitations of the Constitution, may provide

fir raising public revenue and prescribe the

objects to be provided for, or aided by its ex-

penditure, and may also, for particular local

objects and purposes, delegate the taxing

power to the authorities of counties or other

municipal subdivisions of the State, the pow-

er of imposing the burden of taxation, wheth-

er exercised in one way or the other, is still

limited by the two important :ouservative

principles of txeuriiy agaiust its own perver-

sion or abuse, and equality, as far as practi-

cable, in imposition of the bnrden.

The Kentucky river being, by legislative

tecoKnition, and in fact, a navigable atream,

for the improvement of which the State had

expended vast sums of money, by successive

appropriations since the year 1801, with aview to its general use us a medium of inlcr-

f-ommunication and commerce, and in which,

by tho set of intot poration in question, the.

Commonwealth retained valuable interests,

besides the sovereign right ofeminentdomnin,it is a question worthy of consideration,

whether the taxation, imposed on the inhabi-

tants of Garrard aud other counties border-

ing on the river should not be construed to

be an enforced contribution for fostering and

promoting the general wealth and prosperity

of the State, rather than in the aspect of the

merely local benefits to be derived inciden-

tally from it by the people of those counties.

And if this be so, the munifest inequality of

the burden imposed would at once demon-strate the unconstitutionality of the law im-

posing it.

But we propose to examine the question of

j constitutional authority to make the assess-

ment, with reference to the local benefits

which it is supposed would result from it to

the community taxed, and which certainly

constitute the most plausible grounds relied

am for sustaining the judgment of the circuit

as authoritively settled by numerousions of this court, that the Legislature

court, a motion of tho President of the Ken-

tucky River Navigation Company that a levy

bo made to pay the first installment of said

subscription of that court of $100,000, was

baau-d, a id the court, thereupon, refused to

make tb.e levy.

And. afterwards, at the April term, 1S70. of

tho Garrard circuit court, tbe corporation, onto ex-

| its petitiou n.c 1 in taa: court, and notice to

the members of the countj court, moved the

circuit court to award it the writ ot mandu-

mus, to cotnpai the county court to mr-.we the

levy which it bad refused to do.

Tbe motion was resisted on seveval grounds,

both of law and fact, set forth in a demuri er

to the petition, and an answer fil^d by th*

countp court, all of which wore adjud/ed in-

sufficient, upon tha hearing of the caus t; andthe conrl awarded the mandamus agains t til*

county court, commanding it to levy and col-

lect, upon nil the taxable property of Garr trd

•>i\i-\ > n for local purposes; and acting within

its geisgter sphere, the county conrl is a com-petent agency for levying the tax.

As was intimated by this court in the case

of Cbeaa y vs. Hoosier (9 B. Monroe, 334).

and, also, in the City of Covington vs. South-

gate (15 B. Monroe, 491), it is often a deli-

cate and difficult judicial question to deter

mine what may be the precise limit of the pow-

•r of local taxation, but we perceive no val-

; d objection to tbe rule as stated in the re-

cent decision of the Supreme Court of Michi-

gan, in the case of "The People vs. Town-ship Board of Salem," that "if the tax is

imposed upon one of the municipal subdivis

ions of the Steda only, the purpose must not

only be a public purpose, as regards the peo-

ple of that subdivision, but it must al-

so be local; that is to say, the people of that

municipality mum have a special and pecu-

tion of the government. The merchant and

the banker, the manufacturer and the distil-

ler, may each represent large and valuable

interests, and in iheir own prosperity inci-

dentally benefit others, but who con say that

to establish or sustain them in their respec

tire pursuits, at public expense, would not be

a flagrant exercise of arbitrary power? Andwhy should any pirticular class, who might

seek to profit by the advantages of navigation

and commerce, be moro favored by the gov-

ernment?

Tl.o underlying principle of taxation, and

as we conceive, the only safe and maintaina-

ble irou-id for upholding i-., either for genrr-

ai or local purposes, is compensation in some

form resulting from it to tho°e who may be

compelled to be;tr its burdens. Women and

children, and others unfitted for successful

business pursuits, but owning the means ne-

cessary for their own comfortable support,

may tool: in vain to llie prosperity or success

of others having the nocessary talents or cap-

ital to profit by particular advantages, for a

just or adequate recompense for the burdens

of an oneruus tax, exacted te paocure tho*e

advantages. But it is seldom difficult lo dis-

cern the true grounds on which just and au-

thorized local taxation should rest, and to

which, su tar as may be consistent with cs

tabiished precedent and prescriptive usage,

the safety of private property requires that

it should be restricted.

All thoughtful arid law abiding members of

an organized local community will readily re-

cognize the justice of enforced contributions

equally and fairly exacted, uo: only for the

support far their local government but for

the promotion of the common purposes of

communication, health, and public safety and

convenience, necessary for tbe pubiic good,

and in which that community, in its organi-

zed form, has an especial and peculiar inter-

est, for each individual is presumed to be

compensated for the tax he may pay by his

share of tbe common benefits secured But

it is difficult to perceive how this cau be so

with reference to tbe tstablisnment of an ordi

nary private corporation,however greatmay be

its influence for enhancing the prosperity ot

the wealthy, or stimu lating or promoting nny

particular private business or pursuit.

We aie nware that tbese views may eecm,

at first blush, to militate ag&inst some of the

principles of tbe decisions of (his court in

tbe cases of Talbott vs. Dent (9 B. *bn., 256)

ahd of Slack vs. Maysville and Lexington

Railroad Company (U B. Mon, 1), and sub

sequent cases involving the power of local

taxation in aid of railroad companies. But

an examination ot those cases will show that

a coutroliug consideration tor treating rai -

roads as proper ol<j uQls for toeal taxation is,

that, partaking as tiny do of the nature of

public highways, leading to or through a

county or city, they must efficiently subserve

the purposes of a road for acceas, travel, and

transportation, and thus uot only conduce to

the prosperity of a local community, but like

turnpikes, bridges, and other public conveni-

jences, they are considered objects ofpeculiar

I special and public local interest.

We have failed to observe in either of tbe

adjudged cases referred to &uch analogy to

this as to entitle them to the influence of Mawtroling precedents in this case. In one ret-

pect. it is conceded, the proposed improve-

ment ot thei Kentucky river might differ from

the ordinary objects of private enterprise in

its effects on the local interests of the people

of Garrard county. It would enure to their

convenience for the purposes ot travel and

transportation by water. But we cannot re-

gard this, in a constitutional Reuse, as a com-

mensurable and adequate compensation to

the whole people of that county, as n local

community, for tbe imposition upon their

property of the proposed tax of $100,000.

The increased advantages for traveling by

water, resulting from tbe improvement of tbe

river forming o«e of the lines of that county

which is rendered icacesaicle for ordinary

purposes, except at a tew months, by the na-

tural cliffs and banks of th* rive*, can not,

we think, in any proper sense, be considered

as equivalent to the ordinary (abilities of

traveling by convenient roads, rendering all

parts of a county accessible to the people in

their own chosen moles| of convoniance for

purposes of pleasure, or religious worship or

public or private business.

Navigable rivers, it is true, are a species of

public highway, aud often of great value to

the public, both as thoroughfares of travel

uud chunoels for commerce; and in these, we

admit their analogy, in some respects, to rail-

roads. But that analogy rather txists with

reference to certain objects of general com-

mercial interest, than the peculiar local ben

efit which, in this and other States, have been

recognized as constituting the basis of muni-

cipal taxation in aid of railroad corporations

The navigation of the Ohio river is of im

menso public importuuee, and, no doubt, cf

great incidental advantage to the inhabitants

of every county of this State bordering upon

it; but a proposition to improve the present

facilities for navigating the river by local tax

ation on ihe people of those counties, could

not, we presume, be seriously considered us

constitutional or just. Must obviously, such

an improvement would be too general and

comprehensive in its beneficial results to ad-

mit of its accomplishment at the expense of

the particular local communities mentioned

rather than the general public to be benefited

by it.

There is another reason indicating an im-

portant distinction between the improvement

of navigable rivers and ibe construction of

railroads by private corporations for public

use, and which seem* to illustrate the princi-

ple, that, u enerally, the former kind of im-

tive, and furnishing an increased assurance

of the continuance of the seat of government

in it, and thus operating to enhance the val-

ue of the property of its citisens, is no donbt

of much benefit to them, but surely this in-

cidental local benefit coold constitute no suf-

ficient ground for imposing on them, as a lo-

cal community, any part of the cost of thesej

public buildi ngs.

Whether or not the legislature may con-

stitutionally provide by general taxation for

the improvement of the Kentucky river, or

any other navigable rivsr of the State, is an

ulterior question—on which we have not in-

tended to express any opinion in this case;

nor wonld ws be understood as deciding that

the advantages of slack-water navigation to

a local community may not, under any cir-

cumstances, be such as to make them proper

objects for municipal taxation, especially if

the tax be Imposed by the v the peopleto be taxed.

It has been argued, notwithstanding the

general interest of the State ia tbe improve-ment of the Kentucky river, that the proposedimprovements would especially promote the

interests of the psople of tbe adjacent coun-

ties by increasing the value of their lands,

and furnishing facilities for trade and lucra-

employment; but that u»ty be equally true

with reference to many large manufacturing

establishments own -d by corporations or in-

dividuals, which incidentally enhauc9 the

va:ue of contiguous property, and afford em-ployment for some persons and a convenient

market for othirs. And as in either case it is

obvious that only particular classes of per-

sons in a community can be materially bene-

fitted, it logically results that, to foster either

enterprise by local taxation, would involve

the appropriation of private property to pub-

lic use without just compensation; or what is

worse, taking ths property of one class of tbe

people and giving it to another.

While we recognize the decisions of this

court, to which we bave referred, as authori"

tatively settling the questions they involve

with reference to railroads as objects to be

attained by the aid of municipal taxation, wedo not feel authorized to regard them as pre-

cedents for ^sustaining by that means anyireueral system of internal improvement, andif the question of power, with reference to

railroad corporations, were altogether a newone, we might, upon very high authority, "en

tertain great doubts and serious hesitations

in regard to the practice coming appropri-

ately within the range of municipal powers

and duties." {RedJUldon Riilway$, 536.)

Thers is yet another asp -ct of this case,

which presents a grave if n t an insurmount-

able cause of objection to the validity of the

taxing power sought to be enforced. Tbe act

of incorporation does not stop with providing

for local assessments for extending slack-

water navigation al^ng the borders of th

counties to !>e aff.-cted by building the addi

tional locks and dams contemplated; but it

goes further, and operates in effect la imposeon the people of th jse counties contribotive

responsibility to tbe State for au annual rent

of $2,500 a year, for the public works already

constructed and in operation on the river, for

a term of fifty yearg. If it should ba conced

ed. for tbe sake of argument, that the tax

can be upheld on ths ground of its local bdn

efits to the extent ot the proposed additional

oKU 1 r„ .u- i i : ot us are an.m*u.d by asmo-re dc-aue simpl.vable ground for coercing the local coramunities concerned to beeime parties to this leg-

islative contract between the corporation andthe State. To admit the power of a countycourt or other municipal authority, with or

without legislative sanction, to assess private

property in aid of any scheme or enterprise,

instituted by a private corporation or any in-

dividual, not the subject of peculiar local in-

terest to tha people to be burdened, wouldinvolve the surrenderof the great principle*,

that the right of property is before and higher

than even any constitutional sanction, andthat no civil government is entitle I, in ordi-

nary cases, and as a general rule, to regulate

the use of property in the hands of its own-ers.

If tltf facilities for navigating the Ken-tucky river, already provided by the Common-wealth at a great public expense, are of local

benefit to the people of Garrard county, wedo not see how any peculiar local interest cf

that community would b* promoted by trans-

fering the manazement of tbe public works

from the State to a private corporation. - -

Therefore, considering the contract with the

Stale as disconnected from the additional

improvement of the navigation of tbe river,

the imposition of a share of its responsibili

ties and risks on the people of Garrard coun-

ty, by compelling tbetn to taks stock in the

company, could not be sustained.

It may be said, however, that, although the

county court could not bind tbe people of the

county as a contracting party with ths State,

that fact did not vitiate kbe subscription of

stock for the other purposes contemplated by

the act of incorporation. But while it is a

rule of law that if a Statute attempts to ac-

complish two or more objects, and is void as

to one, it may still be valid as to tha othen;

Ret J. B. Spifimin. Chainnw.Rrv. AND Dkak Silt—The oudersigied

were appointed a committee by the Syuodof Keutucky, which met in Frankfort on

the 12th of Oct. 1S70, to conferwith a sim

ilar committeo, appointed, by the Synod of

Kentucky, whieh met in I'uns ou tin

saue day, in reference to the practicability

of agreeing upon aotue plan by wbu-h the

entire Presbyterian Church in Kentuckycan be united iu the hearty support of C'eu-

tre College.

The movement in oui Synod was promptedby a deep couv;ctiou cl the importance tothe interest* of Pr«sbyiari*nism ia Kentucky,ol such united and cordial support ol the C •>

legs, and by the belief that tba bitterness andunchariiablet-ess of feeling which unhappMjhas prevailed iu our churches for some jearspast, causing antagonisms where should beco-operaiion, greatly to the damage of indi-vidual piety and tba growth of the church atlarge, has so far suosided as at leas: to openthe way for au earnest effort to secure co-operation in the support of an Institution whosesuccess must ot nuctSiity redound aiike totbe advantage of both Synods If we are in

error in supposing that a betu-r aud moreChristian fesling prevails now than has pie-vaited during the past few years amjtu t ii

ministers and members of the ehurcbe j represented by tlTe two Synods, tbeu we darenot hope for a successful termination to tbepresent effirt. But we trust and believe thaiwo are mistaken in this impression, and thattho results ot our conference* will be suchas not only to secure the particular object wehave in view, but also be the meaus of bringtng together, in warm Christian syropathjand love, many hearts now eustrunged fromeach other.

As the proposition for a Committee ot Confer-ence originated in our Synod, it us propsr, andof course will be expected by you, that wesubmibior your consideration tue method, isr

plan, by which we hope to secure the unitedsupport of both Syuods to Centre College.

It would seem, indeed, looking al tbe surface of l he case, as if there were nolhiug evennow in the way ot such co-operatiou Tcollege, in successtul operation, manned bya faculty eminently qualified tor the positionsthey occupy, exclusively under Presbyteritacontrol, and mauaged at the interest of thePresbyterian Church in ihe State; affordingequal and impartial advantages to all who pa-

tronizn it, the >>uly Presbyterian College :n

the State; conducted now upou the sameprinciples and tbe fatheranoe of th^ .s.une

ends as heretofore, and during the manypast years of its usrfuluesa, when it was the

object ot tho pride of the Presbyterian peopleof Kentucky, and an honor to laMf churchLooking, we say, at tho subject iu this light

it is uot easy to discover a sufficient reasonwhy the whole church should not as h-ariiij

support the college now, as duriug any period

ot its past history. Bui we cannot ignore the

fact that since the disastrous division of the

church in Kentucky, dissatisfaction has aris-

en, culminating in vexations litigation before

tbe civil courts regarding ihe Ojtitiol of tbe

college, that control having been continuously exercised by the Synod which remained,and now is in connection with the old Gener-al Assembly.Now tbe question arises, can the control of

the College so divided between the two Syuodsas to remove sal reasonable cause of dissatis-

faction on thiU aecouut, and preserve invio-

late the trusts involved, which those who holdthera have neither the moral nor legal right

to promote th* common good, these difficul-

ties can be overcome.We do not prop iso to discuss, or attempt

to determine the questuti, to whiih of the

two Synods belongs the legal guardianship of

the College. Practically, so tar as tbe inter-

ests of sound education and of Presbytcria

ism in the State are concerned, it can makebut little difference which Syncd haathele.-al

control of tbo College. Under the control i»i

a ther Synod it would be conduct! dupon essentially the same principles and lor

the same ends Neither do we propose a di-

vision of the property and funds ot tbe Col-

lege. These were donated specifically for

"Centre College," and cannot be applied to

any other Institution or purpose either in

whole or in part. But if such were not the

case, a division of them could result only in

the destruction of the College, as its funds

now are insufficient for its proper main tenance. Besides, our mission is to unite, if

possible, not to divide

We therefore suggest as the means of re-

moving the obstae'es an ? of uniting tbe en

tire Presbyterian Cbuu h ia Kentucky in sup-

port of the College:

First.—The College i* n Seminary of learn

ing It is also in an e.n nt degree a relig-

ious Institution. It hi*., ...cays been conduc-

ted in the interest of Presby terianism. one of

the leading objects of its founders and bene-

factors being to educate young men for the

ministery of the Goepe! in the Presbyterian

church. We deem it indispensable to the

usefulness ot' the cobege, that those who man-age its affairs should cherish for each other

the confidence and respect which enter into

the spirit of the Christian brotherhood. Dis-

trust, and alienation of feeling, whether in the

Board of Trustees or in the Faculty, will re-

sult in disaster to the interests of a Christian

school of learuing.

Now, therefore, as the ba-si.s of this set-

tlement, it is distinctly agreed, that the

parties to it shall aud do accept each other

as brethren in Christ, and as Presbyterians

standing together in good faith ou the

standards, that are common to the two

; and inasmuch as the ol

fixes the uumber of Trustees at ninethe odd m tuber shall be chosen altei

ly from each Synod ; and it shall ba deter*

mined by lot from which Synod he shall

be first chosen.

Fourth—This agreement shall take effect

when adopted by a rote of two thirds ofeach Synod. It may be altered or amend-ed at any time by a similar vote of two-thirds of each body ; or it may be termin-

at- 1 at any time after one year s notice bya simple resolution of either Synod. If at

any time it should be thus terminated, il

shall be without prejudice to the property

rights, or the right of control of either

party in the College, which shall, in all

p issible respects, revert to the exact posi-

tion in which they stood before tha agree-

ment was made.

Tha) above ia the substance of proprosi-

tions submitted to the consideration of tho

committee. No impjrtance is attached to

phraseology hastily prepared.

D-utSm: The undersigned, a committeerepresenting the Synod which met in Peris onthe 12th of Get. H70, have considered, aacarefully as time would permit the communi-cation submitted to us last evening, by thecommittee of which you are cnairmar, repre-senting the Synod which met in Fraukioxt onthe same day . and return the following ans-wer .

We deplore as deeply as you can possibly," the bitterness and uncharitableness," whichhave been at once the cau*o and the conse-quence of tho unhappy division in the Pres-byterian Church in Kentucky, and resultedso disastrously to an Institution of learning,dear to the hearts and important to the inter-ests of tbe Presbyterian people of this andother States. Nor are we oehttid you in tbedesire that there should be a restoration ofconfidence and a return to that "brotherlykindness and charity'' that once prevailedamong us as Presbyterians.

In looking forward to our meeting withyou, we had indulged tbe hope that before tbefinal separation of our committees, we anightbo able to agree upon some plaa of adjust-ment, to be reported to our respective Synodsfor approval or rejection, which should put anend to the vexatious litigation, and terminatethe disagreeable controversy with regard looar Institution of learning at Danville.

.

We regret to. perceive by your commution, that by the order undc whichacting, yoa are restricted to onecompromise, namely, " Some dUb by*hich the entire Presbyterian Church inKentucky can be un.ted n tbe hearty inp-p r: of Cantre Cjllegj;" so that if thisshould prove impraclicab'e. our missionmust entirely fail and the unhappy legalcontest over this Institution bo contin-ued. In the belief that you Had a much broad-er commission, covering any practical modeof adjustment, and with a sincere desire thatiu one mode or another, the matter might beamicably arranged and the strife ended, ourSynod appointed us a committee Without Jibs-i tut ions or instructions. Your communicationgreatly narrows the field, and in the sameproportion diminishes the hope of corapro-mibe. But we must meet the matter as it is pre-sented to us.

We deem it unnecessary to enter into anyaBBBBaaion of the question, which in your in-troductory remarks you have thought properto argue atfome length—whether tke College,under the exclusive management and controlof tbe body which you lepresent, ought tohave be-n as cordially and earnestly support-ed and patronised by our people as in formeryears when they ha<l a voice in its control.

It is sutticient to say in reply, that to uathe reasons against such a course are so ob-vious, that we are not a little surprised thatyou shou:d have prefaced your propositionwith this implied rebuke of our people.We come now to tho substance of what you

propose "as a means of removing ths obsta-cles und ot uniting the entire PresbyterianChurch in Kentucky iu the support of theCollege."

1 We do not permit ourselves to forget thodesign of the founders and bene factors in tbeestablishment of the college; that it extendsbeyond a merely secular education, that theyproposed to make an Institution for tbeChristian education of the youth that shouldbe gathered into it and especially tor the ed-ucation of young men for the ministry of theOoxfasi in the "resoyteriati Church, aad thatthis design should b" sacredly carried out iatbe conduct ot the institution, by those whomay have the legal custody of it.

We agree with you, also, that in ths man-agement of such an Institution by- Christianmen there ought to be uuion of purpose, Iheutmost candor, together with mutual confi-

dence and respect. In order to this,

ever, it does not seem at all essential,

there should be a public and formalmen! by the Synod of each other, "as Presby-terians, standing together in good faith oathe standards that are common to the twobranches if the I'resby terian Church," awrunder the circumstances, cou d such an en-dorsement be reasonably r> quired aa a coa-dition ot CO OWBration So tar as this is true,

it is a pubiic fact, which needs no freak pro-mulgation, but were it true w.thout any qual-ification, neither Synod could give any rea-sonable account of the spectacle that ws pre-

sent to the world, as two distinct bodies, whoseparated and still remain apart, by reasonof differences between us in the interprets)

tion of some of t he provisions of those itand-ards. We take pleasure in sayinj

that these differences are not of such a

county, the sum of $33,333 33$, to pay t be which will make it just, proper, and equit-

liar interest in ths objects to be accomplished, i provement is not an appropriate object for

first installment of said subscription ol'stoci t,

and the county court seeks ths reversal o.'

that judgment by this appeal.

By the defense in the court below, as well

as in the argument for tbe appellant in this

court, the power of tha circuit court to coerce

the levy by tbe county court has been ques-

tioned with reference to the sufficiency andregularity of the organisation of tbe corpora-

tion, and its consequent right to accept tbe

subset iption of stock, and tbe validity of the

action of the county court, to create a bind-

ng obligation on tbe county, subject to en-

forcement by that court, as a ministerial act;

and. also, with reference to the validity of the

act of incorporation, as a delegation of the

power of taxation to the county court, sith-

sr to subserve a general purpose, of tbe State,

Testing the e^cntial question in this case

J by tbe foregoing rule, it is difficult to see how

t be advantages of slack water navigation on

tl ie border of a county can be brought within

th * range of local objects and benefits of such

pec *nliar and commou interest to the commu-

nity t as to render thera proper objects to be

attai ned by local taxation. It is not every

priva te, nor even every public convenience,

nor e\ *rJ facility for particular classes of bu-

siness, industry or enterprise, however valu-

able to those who may seek to profit by it,

that is of general and peculiar benefit to a

whole c ommunity. On tbe eontrary, it not

unfreque atly happens that, in the incessant

struggle . or wealth and financial ascendancy

going on i a a prosperous country, the great-

est advanti €** to some classes ,are correspond-

ingly detrit aeatal to others, who , from their

very weekm wa, deserve especially ths protee-

local taxation.

however improved; and "being subservient to

commerce, bave, by the well settled doctrines

of the Knghsh common law been considered

as things of common right." {Anotll on

Water CbtsTseg, 101). Being the property of

the State for the use of all her citiaens, why

should they, tor the purpose of improving

them, be made the objects of discriminating

or unequal assessments, on uceount of mere

incidental benefits resulting from prximity to

them, any more than the publie buildings

and other property of the State, which may,

under peculiar circums ances, e more bene

ficial to some classes of the people than to

others?

The additions and improvements now being

made by the State to her capitol buildings,

yet it its purpose is to accomplish a single ' branches of the Presbyterian Church to

object only, and some of its provision* arejwhich we respectfully belong. And it is

acter, as to constitute a bar to co-operation ia

such a work as that of conducting a Collegeupon

void, the whole must fail, unless sufficient re-

mains to effect tbe object without the aid ef

the invalid portion. "And if thsy are so mu-

tually connected with and dependent on each

other, as conditions, considerations, or com-

pensations for each other; as to warrant the

belief that the Legislature intended them as a

whole, aud if all could not be carried into ef

feet, the Legislature would not pass the res-

idue independently; then if some parts are

unconstitutional, all the provisions whieh a:

a

thus dependent, conditional, or connected,

must fall with them ( CW«ry's Conttituiion

But whatever might be the effect of lbs t cn-

tract with the State, on the validity of the

subscription of stock by ths county court, we

are satisfied for ths other reasons already suf-

ficiently indicated, that tho subscription was

unauthorised, and consequently the judg-

ment awarding the mandamus is erroneous.

Wherefore the judgment is reversed, and

the cause remanded, with directions lo dis-

miss the motion.

College, as proposedlherein, we will act to-

gether in tho spirit of Christiau brethren

who are laboring together for a commonobject, the enduring usefulness of the Col-

lege.

Second—There shall be no division of

the property of the College. Under the

charter this cannot be legally done. Andthe inadequacy of tha endowment, even

for a single Institution ofthe kind, renders

it unad visible.

Third—The two bodies (represented by

the committees) shall have an equal joint

control in the use of the funds, the ap-

pointment of all omcers, and the entire

control aud management ot the school, and

to this end the following arrangement shall

ba made, by which each body shall be rep-

resented by an equal number in the Board

of Trustees. The two Synods shall each

appoint a standing committee on Centre

committees jointly to select eighteen men,

nine from each Synod, and nominate the

eighteen men so selected to each of the

two Synods for trustees, classified accord-

ing to tbe requirements of the charter, and

eleot as Trustees of the College the eigh-

teen men thus se.ected and nominated, and

that each year thereafter, all vacancies in

tha body of Trustees shall be filled in the

body of trustees shall be filled in the same

way and upon tho same principle of repre-

tbe principles ofour common Christi-

, if, on other grounds, practicable andexpedient. But we would add, that it doesnot seem to us to be within the purview of

our powers as a cjtnraittee, to

what recognition should be made bySyn.-ds of each other.

the worst enemy of their sex.

And now what shall we see on the NewYear's Day. 1*71? Women all over the City

o! N'-w York—women here and there, all

over the country, where like social customs

prevail—setting out upon their tables, the

well-tilled decanters which, before night shall

etas* Iowa, will he emptied intothe brains of

roSUag men aud old men, who will go reeling

to durker orgies, or to homes thnt will feel

grhavrl of them. Woman's lips wiil give

the invitation, woman's hand will fill and pie-

sent the glass, woman's careless voice will

'augb at the eflects of the mischievous

Jr;.ught upon their friends, and, having done

mI this, woman will retire to balmy rest, pre-

viouslv having reckoned the number of those

to whom she has. during the day, presented a

dangerous temptation, and rejoiced over it in

the degree of its magnitude,

O woman' woman! Is it not about time

that this thing were stopped? Have you a

husband, a brother, a son? Are they strong-

er than their neighbors who have, one after

another, dropped into the grnves of drunk-

ards? Look around you and see the desola

lions that drink has wrought amoug your ac-

quaintances, and then decide whether you

have a right to place temptation in any man's

way, or do augut to make a social custom re-

spectable which leads hundreds ot thousands

of men into bondage and death. Why must

the bottle come out everywhere? Why can

there not be a festal occasion witheat this

vulgar guzzling of strong drink?

Wom:tn, there are some things that you can

lo. and this is one; you can make drinking

unpopular and disgraceful among the young.

You can utterly discountenance all drinking

in your own hcuse, an i you can hold in sus-

picion every young man who touches the cup.

You know that no young man whodrink* can

safely be trusted with the happiness of any

Oman, and that he is as unfit as a man can

be for woman's society. Have this under-

lood: that every yong man who drinks is so-

ially proscribed. Bring up your children to

regurd drinking as not only dangerous but

disgracelul Place temptation in no mau s

way. If men will make beasts of themselves,

let them do it in other society than yours. It

your mercenary husbands treat their custom-

ers from private stores kept in their counting-

rooms, shame them into decency by your re-

gard for the honor of your home. Recognize

the living, terrible fact that wine has always

been, and is to day, the curse of your sex;

that it steals the hearts ot men away from

you, that it dries up your prosperity, that it

eudangers your safety, that it can only bring

you evil. If social custom compels you to

present wine at your feasts, rebel against it,

and make a social custom in the interests of

virtue and purity. The matter is very muchin your own hands. The women of the coun-

try, in what is called polite society, can do

more to make the nation temperate than all

the legislators and tumultuous reformers that

are straggling and blundering in their efforts

to this end. At any rate, if they will trv,

they shall have Scribner's Monthly to help

WOOD-At the residence ofWood, in WasbiMiss Tillie Wood.As a child she gave promise of

in life, on accoant of ber bright intellect. As she

grew older there was developed great strength of

character snd energy. Above all she was a chris-

tian, and now while it if useless to think of whatsbe might hare been hsd she been spared, with

health, we thank (tod. that since he has chosento take her away, that she has a wider sphere of

usefulness and happiness with Him than she couldhave bad here.

For more than two years she had been a great

sufferer, growing weaker daily. All that medical

I skill could advise, or foad affection suggest, were

done, but in vaia. The Master had claimed her as

his own, and through suffering, was preparing her

as a polished s|oue for the building net made with

bands. A few day* previous to i.< , dtp^rture, she

would never recover. This was an ordeal that

is especially valuable in washing flannels and wool-en goods, for these shrink less in being washed in

boiling water, and the water ean bt so used in thuwasher when ona washing by tbe hand could not'bear it. Tbe wringer aaves the iminensa labor in

wringing large articles, since a child can manage it.

It wrian 'Irier than can be done by hand, and .havlothes are not so liable to being ,-njured by sharpwinds aud freeting.- In brief n is :ia article thatought to be in every laundry. To us it is iu.lisu.-n-

DtaaSia: We have received and oonsider-

ed your resporse to our communication ofyesterday. We rejoice in baa courteous andChriatiau spirit by which it is characterized

We are aincereiy desirous ol effecting an ar-

rangement that aha 1! accomplish the object

we have in view, wlttob t« not. a peraonal. or

party one, but has regard solely to the inter

eat* of the College; and, through it, to themerest of Presbjfter'ienism ":i our Slat* Weregret that in rejecting the proposition subanitted bjr us, yea did nut indicate dmmv clear-

ly the kind of arrangemc-nt that, would be sat-

isfactory to you. It is true, that we are re-

stricted SB/ the spirit of tb* resolution underwhich we are acting, to some plan which shall

secure the united BeMori of u uu Synods to

lbs College; and it Wi H surHy be admitted byall, that in order to i:s Licbe-t prosperity andaaefulness, such united support .,t it ia neces-sary But, as to the menus of securing thatend, we are not restricted to any one planWe are authorized to propose, coesid-r andrecommend any plan, wiii.-h to us shall seemwise, fair and just. Iujtlte propositions sub-mitted, we did not aim to secure for our Syn-od any unequal advantage, either for thepresent or a', any future Ufa;; and are will-

ing to modify th<we ao as to free them; aa far

aa possible, from the objections you make to

We now propose to alter article fira ao asto read as follows:

Aa it is deemed essential to the harmoniousand successful werkiag of the Cottage bv aBoard of Trustee elected by both Synods,that there shall be confidence and regard for

each other as Christian men and Presbyteri-ans; it is hereby declared, that notwithstanding the alleged differences between the twoSynods in tbe iuterpretation of some of theprovisions of our common standards, we recognize each other aa Christian brethren andPresnyteriens; and this arrangement for the

, control and management of Centre Colle in good faith and with a sincere

sto advance the interests of that Institu-

tion.

We thiak it would be unwise to attempt ajoiat control and management of the College,anlaas there could be substantial harmonybetween the parties exercising this controlThe feet can neither be denied nor concealed(hat dissensions and bitterness have some-times been exhibited in the discussion of ourdifferences. We think it wiser and safer tolook theae facts in the face. If. in the twoSynods, such a state of feeling still exists, asthat theae manifestations can not be repressedto the future, we can see little bopo of barmoaious co operation. The expression whichwe ask, on the part b| both Synods, will beaa evidence of the existence of such senti-

Drab Sta—You second communication of

this date is received.

In our personal interviews with you, andin onr previous written communications to

you, we have staled our deep conviction that,

in order to the united control and manage-ment of the college by the two Synods suc-cessfully, there must be mutual confidence,and a distinct and official recognition of eachother as Christian brethren aud Piesbyten-ans as the basis of an arrangement that mayentered into; and have expressed orally ourbelief that if this point should be cordiallyaccepted, all other matters coutd be arranged.

But in your present communication youare entirely silent on this subject, from whichwe infer that in your judgement such recog-nition could not be secured from yjur Synod.This seems to indicate clearly, and to uspainfully, that tbe time has not yet arrivedwhen it is possible for the two Synods to co-

operate even iu the management ol the College. We confess ourselves sorely disappoint-ed by this result of our conference so pleas-ant in all other respects! Sti'l hopiug thatsome happier result may yet be reached,we auggest that the Chairman of the respec-tive Committees be authorised iu call themtogether at any ti

ent. prior to

ods.

:

Dsab Sis—We have given ao intimation,either orally or iu writing, nor is there anystatement or omission iu our correspondence,from which yon have a right to infer that ourSyn d would not ou any proper occasion, en-dorse your's as Christian brethren and Pres-byterians In our reply to your first commu-nication was distinctly stated our convictionthat this subject did not come within oorprovince as a committee ; but the very man-ner and spirit of our exception to your pre-liminary demands on this point, sufficientlyindicated our belief that there would be bo in-superable obstacle geywing out of a want ofmutual confidence, and we are greatly sur-prised thst you should have drawn any suchmisreiice as your last communication con-tains, in the face of ihia statement.We are, if possible, still more surprised at

your expression of a "belief that if this pointshould be cjrdially accepted, all other mat-ters could be arranged," when ths whole cor-respondence shows distinctly that you havssuggested no plan of adjustment, sven ap-proximating our views of ths justice of thecase, aud that we have beau compelled,promptly and unqualifiedly to reject yonrproposition in all its essential features.We regret exceedingly that by this last

communication you make ths important mat-ter of the adjuslmsnt of onr ooatrovsrsy tohinge, and permit it to pass out of our handsupon an issue entirely outside of onr commis-sion, wholly immaterial at this stage of thsmatter, aud which could have been properlydetermined only by ths action of the Synoditseif, in accepting or rejecting whatever ar-rangement tbe committees have proposed.Any adjustment, involving a joint control

of the institution, would necessarily imply allthe mutual respect and confidence which yourproposition demands, as it is inconceivablethat either Synod would onits in the conductof a CoHege, founded ia the interest of truereligioo with parties in whose Christian stand-ing they no contidoiice.

And until a plan of adjustment, acceptableto the parties, shall have been submitted, anydiscussion of the state of feeling in the twoSynods would be manifestly prematura, as tbeonly satisfactory projf of a proper feelingwould be found in a disposition to do eachother substantial justice in the settlement ofthe property questions now at issue before thecivil courts. .

Your suggestion with regard to a pos-sible future meeting is acceptable to us

Permit os to repeat to you the eof our feelings of fraternal affectiou arespect
