St coud i la>s Kates, Some of our State exchauges are still berating the railroad Commis sion because it does not: compel the railroads to put on second class coaches or establish second class rates of p-tssenger fare. It has been point ed out to these critics again and again that the Railroad Commission has no authority to order a discrimi nation for or against any class of persons. It timply fixes a maximum rate, and above that rate the rail roads dare not go; but there is noth ing, except what they may regard as their own interest, to prevent them from going below it. Whenever we Bee that the Commission is in fault-it will B?rour duty to the public to ex pose the error", hut in regard to this particular matter it does seem to us to be exceedingly ungenerous to sad dle the Commission with a responsi bility that does not rightfully rest upon its shoulders. So lar as we are aware of, there ia no law anywhere upou the statute book that can compel the railroads to sepa ate passengers into two classes That they ought by all means to do it, that the public have a right to ex peet it of them in the interests of decency and social order, does not seem to us to admit of argument. It ia in the nature of a self evident proposition, b?t when it comes to the question of .the law. ?of; .the matter, then we say that the railroads can not ibe . forced in to the measure by the Commission, and that it is a mat ter' ''that rests entirely ?witt ' tifem, and they must answer to the people themselves as to the reasons that influence tnem in turning a deaf ear to thepopular1, demand. If- we are mistaken we" are open to correction. Register. . # r r ? ' rrobtem. . - La&t Thr.rcday Capt. Jas. N. Lip scomb made a short but pithy speech 1 at the Fair, and he struck the key note when he said that the man for whom we are looking uow, is not the farmer who can make the greatest number ol bales of cotton to the acre, but who can produce a bale o cotton at the least possible cost. He thinks, justly too, that the premium should be awarded to the man who succeeds in teaching the country how to pro duce cotton at four cen ts ; vf hen the selling price is ten cents. There"' j3 no doubt that the real question wi;h our.farmers is how.to obtain a satis factory yield, and at the samo lime keep the cost of production within proper Tmits. Iru&mte of.aU tMt we may ?jay, we are\ Ovlig?d to "admit that \ve cannot control' th? e?liing price of cotton-and we cannot rea eonably expect the price to . rise far, above ten cen ts-0 The ,a1m" bf, the farmer should; be,, therefore, to di minish the. cost pf production; thdt he, can control, to avery great extent.

An Ordination of Deaf Mutes at the Church of the Covenant, Rarely-have there been servicees of a' more unusual or interesting na ture than, those o? yesterday morn ing, at the Church of the Covenant, on Filbert Btreet,. above Seventeenth. 'A stranger who knew nothing of the intended ceremonies would have been somewhat puzzled wheo the Rev. Dr. Galla?det appeared in the pul pit and began his sermon, which was principally of exhortation and ad-: vice, addressed to two candidates for ordination, who stood before him. By the side of the reverend speaker stood another clergyman, Dr.Olero, who, at his first word, began a series of intr.cate gesticulations, during which he frequently pointed to hie forehead, eyes and mouth, besides keeping the fingers of both hands in continual motion. This apparent di vision of the labor of word and ges ture was, however, made clear to the most obtuse by many little printed circulars lying upon the seats, with the heading, " Mission to the Deaf and Dumb." The two candidates for ordination were Henry Winter Syle, of Philadelphia, and Austin W. Mann, of Cleveland, Ohio, both deal mutes. The former is the son of the Rev. Edward W. Syle, who has long been prominent in the Epis copalian missionary organization of this city. Mr. Syle was ordained by PVuop Stevens and Mr. Mann by Bishop Bedell, of Ohio, who, after the cere mony, invited all the deaf mutee present, of whatever church or de nomination, to unite in the com munion. Nearly one half of the con gregation responded and partook ol the sacrament administered to them by the two newly ordained clergy men, who, in their noiseless language of pint>mime, repeated the appointed sentence* to each communicant. Phi.adcljihia Times. Uholrsonie Truths. Seveml of our cotemporarie3 are drawing valuable lesions ' from thc cotton pamphlet of Latham and Al exander.-The Constitution says " The cotton crop of the past thre< years has brought into the South om thousand millions of dollars. If th corn, grain and meas to make thi; crop had been home-nude the Soutl would be richer to-day than auy coun try in. the world. If she could keej the cotton money at home for fi vi years to come, her wealth and prog reB3 * oui ii be the miracle of this cen tary." These are not now suggestions but they are very opportune aud wort! Inna finn It pmwsw^o^-added thu j had the people of the South uftlize such money as they made on cotto at home, instead of risking and losin it to speculation abroad, there woul have been millions saved for the pur pose of diversifying Agriculture an? feeding our section.
