CIN CINNATI.'
Southern Railroad Project—Report of
City Council Committee—Chattanooga
Selected as the Terminus:
(By Telegraph to the Fumanti palette.)
3une 4i—The City Coun
cil to-day adopted unanimously the fol
lowing report of the COmutittee on the
Southern Railroad:
"Your Coinmittee, to whom was refer
red the Ferguson Railroad law, respect
fully report that the importance of the
proposed railway, the great interests af
fected thereby, the large a authorized
to be expended in proseouti the enter
prise, have received careful investiga
tion. We are of the opinionthat the hri
mediate construction of a line of rail
way.from Cincinnati to a central point
in the South is highly essential to the in
terests of the city; that said railway
should be constructed pops to make it as
nearly-its• possible an itir , line, and ter
minate at a point where the greatest
number of trunk' lines of railways con
centrate; that said railway should be
built as speedily as consistent with the
magnitude of the enterprise.
"We therefOre recommend that the
name of said railway be the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, and that the southern
terminus be at the city of Chattanooga,
in the State of Tennessee. -
i•We have selected the city of Chatta
nooga as Ilia .sonthern terminus, believ
ing that a line or railroad as nearly direct
to that city as Ist-61bl° will fully realize
the expectations and demands of the en
terprise, and harmonize the largest num
ber of local and, general Interests: The
claims of Knoxville. and of the Nashville
and Decatur routes,-are in no manner to
be ignored. On the contrary, railway
connections with those cities should re
delve prompt encouragement from our
citizens. . .
naming the terminue, and thus in
dicating the direction of the Southern
Railway, it is with the belief that the
grand intermediate line to Chattanooga
will not only strike the key to the largest
system of railways in the South, but will
also secure connecting roads to 'Rnox
vine and Nashville, Tennessee, arid De
catur, Alabama; and that the value of
such connections will attract :pubUo and
private capital, to speedily complete
"In these opinions ,the Committees
from the Board of Tiede and Chamber of
Commerce concur; We extend our Sin
cere acknowledgments 4for their assist
ance In
_obtaining the infbrmition that
has led us to the foregning conclusions."
Saturday, June 26th, is the day recom
mended' for the people to vote =for or
against the road. It will have ncioppo
,sitioit worth mentioning. Trititeee to
build the road will then be appointed.
The Attorney General will at once bring
the constitutionality of the. Ferguson law
before the Supreme Court on a writ of
quo warronto. The following' dispatch
came after the action of Council:
Olatttosixwa, Jung His' Honor,
Mayor of Cincinnati: Chattanooga hails
with joy the promise of her sKs3dy
- union with the Queen City of the West.
Sitting in her mountain home, where
seven fertile valleys converge, and holds
ing the key to the great system of South
ern railroads, she will receive their
wealth and pour it into the lap of her
elder sister city. The action of Cincin
nati to-day is the harbinger of relations
which will bind the whole Southlo her
in doe° ties of mutual friendship.

GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, June 4.—Lord Broughton
died yesterday, aged eighty-thiee Years.
Climax, June 4.—A large meeting of
Orangemen was held ,in this city, last
evening to protest against the disestab
lishmint thp.l4sh Church. It is esti
mated that over four thousand persons.
were present. Appropriate speeches
were made and resolutions adopted.
LoNnox, June A.—The London news
papers are still discussing the relations
existing between England and the
United States. _The .4tandard says the
conduct of America in the matter of the
late treaty, in the lapse of time may be
forgotten, but at presimt it is hardly fair
to be linked to feelings of just indigna
tion and resentment.
The .Ebat says new attempts for the
settlement of the Alabama claims mast
come front America, and hopes that due
precaution will be taken to 'secure Eng
land against accepting a treaty almost
with humility, which will be rejected at
last with "contumely.
In the House of Lords this even
ing Sir Alfred De Redoliffe moved
for a copy of the Alabama
treaty. He said the Glovernment had
shown the greatest conciliation in its de
sire to maintain peace, and trusted that
whensnegotbstions were resumed be
,tween the two countries that a calmer
spirit than that which •succeeded Mr.
Sumner's speech would show its influ
ence, and that Americana would feel that
there were demands that Englan4 could
not entertain. He hoped that such, ne
gotiations would place their rela
tions upon a satisfactory footing and
all would rejoice when that end could
be attained by the able man whom all
admire.
Lord Clarendon .regretted the una•
avoidable delay in furnishing the papers
called for. He traced the history of the
negotiation and laid that the House of
Commons was not entitled to assume
that the majority of the Senate and peo
ple of the United States supported Mr.
Sumner's demands. He believed that
without intervention the sympathetic
feelings and good sense , of America
would ultimately prevail. The friendly
feelings of the United States were recip
rocated. - He would shrink from .no sac
rifice to maintain peace, but the national
honor must be maintained. He was not
aware of the nature of Mr. Motley's in
structions, but he hoped what had oc
curred would promote and not- hinder
negotiations, as the terms that England
wits willing to concede, or must refuse,
:were well known.

Simms Crrr, Mo., June 4.—The stories
of the hanging of railroad men on the
Cherokee Lands, Kansas, are not con
firmed and are probably false. The set
tlers, however, have lately received large
supplies of powder, and ate 'said to be
preparing to resist any force which may
attempt to build the railroad or protect
its workmen. Several settlers have been
driven out of the country by the League,
on account of their lukewarmness, and
others have been warned to leave withl

The Spanish Minister's reports from
Cuba do 'not confirm the reports which,
it is said, come through insurgent chan

filibusters have thus far landed, and but
a small quantity of arms, not enough eo

NUMBER. 126
LEVER, FROM hT. LOUIS.
Parade of ' Indent
_York (Colored)
Masons—A utlgulty of the Order—Heavy
Incomes—Decoration Day.
:From our Special Correspondent• 3
ST. Louis, May 31, 1869.
On last Thursday, morning we had a
grand phrade of colored Free Masons,
which attracted a good deal of attention.
This organization, which is called the
Ancient York Masons, has an, origin in
dependent of the other Masonic Societies
in this country, and boasts even a
stronger title to legitimacy. It is as
serted that the original charter to the first
Grand Lodge in this country was in the
possesion of General Warren. who felliat
Bunker Hill, and that after his death it
was never found. All subordinate lodges
at that time became extinct, no meetings
being held for six years, and the Grand.
Lodge through this unfortunate loss' of
the c harter, ceased to exact.
The organization was re-established by
opening lodges called Free and Accepted
Masons. The colored members of the
Order, however in Boston, .wrote and
obtained a' charter ftom :York, in -.Eng
land, in 1784, from which the entire or
ganization has sprung. It now numbers.
besides the National Grand Lodge, seven- .
teen State Grand Lodgee and about four
hundred subordinate Lodges.
Grand Master, Moses Dickson, of the
Grand Lodge In this State, informs me
that they claim, and tile'claim is admitted
by English Masons, at their Ordef, the
Ancient York Masons, is the only legiti
mately organized body of the fraternity
in this country, and that .distinguished
members 'of 'the, Order from England
whe4 in this conntry - Itave visited at these
Lodges, paying them a respect they re.,
tused to other organizations:
Thursday's demonstration was for, the
purpose of laying the corner stone of a
building for church and school purposes
in Carondelet, whither, after a.. short.
parade through our principal streets ) , they,'
with their invited guests, were transported. '
by a special train on the Iron Mountain
Railroad.
The very elite of the colored people be
long to the Order, and,,saving in. color,
their appearance was fully equal to that
of the same ntfuiller of white men on any
similar occasion.
Our papers are publishing a list of in
comes. The heWest is that of John J.
Roe, pork packer; $211,000; next comes
Francis Whitaker, with the same line of
businesS, with $130,000. Three White
kers, Francis, John and James, partners,
/lave an aggregate income of $213,000, a
little more than Roe. Three Ashbrooks,
also in the *irk business, • report each
440462. 'the third largest income in the
140, rtiki: Lticashatilegi.forshert "old
"•man Meas." be a gorgeous fa
nem]; and he has lots of friends who an
ticipate it with' very commendable resig
nation. - He isn't dead yet. - Robert
Campbell, owner of the Southern Hotel,
reports $09,000, and Alex. Kelsey, own
er of the Paschal House; a clean • $30,000.
The latter is the smaller house, but has
been better managed-for its owner.
You know these returns give no . idea of
the wealth qf a community, or of individ
uals reported, as income derived from
stocks, bonds, interest deposits and many
other sources are omitted. Some men
who by repute are tolerably well off, do
not appear at all.
Yesterday our soldiers' 'graves were
decorated. This promises to become an
institution and a National holiday.: Flow
ers smell sweeter. than gunpowder and
we can easily spare a little of our Fourth
of July patriotism for such an occasion
and beautiful ceremonial. This annual
observance is better than bronze or gran
ite monuments, and may be more lasting.
Some old•fashio,ned . people would have
preferred to wait over the Sabbath this
year, but the patriotic masses could not
sparest' week day, and these scruples
were squelched with a sneer. It- was
amusing to read and hear the remarks of
some, not conspicnouly pious souls, on
this subject.' They felt they were per
forming an eminently religious service,
in devoting Sunday to perpetuate the sa
cred memory of our heroes, and doubtless
'went- home feeling. that they - , had paid
their Maker an unusual compliment. The
oldlashioned individuals ought to re
member that the city of St. Louis had de
cided the Sabbath out of date, and that if
they have scruples about it, they had bet
ter go to Chicago or some other place
place where Sunday comes once , a week.
However, time makes things even, and
before this anniversary again occurs on
Sunday we may hope that the difficulties
which prevent itageneral observance may
be somehow got over.
