This congress should work under general rules, leaving the branches in the arious States to look after their several locali ties. The branch in Tennessee would consist of 44 membra, that of Georgia U1 -orrn di oiina ol 40, and so on. If it ba objected that such bodies form ing one great central representative con- gies, ana meeting yearly could not be maintained asavoluntiry affair, we re ply by pointing to the National Science Assoeiafon, State and National medical bodies and a score more like bodies, that are sustained by voluntary effort and have been of inestimable value in their various 'deparfoenta of social, scientific, flnHQcial an? xeformatory endejivor. One hundred thousand immigrants brought to the South in a year means, if they are the kind, au addition of not less than $100,000,000 to Southern capi tal, and 200. 000,000 yearly addition to the value of Southern productions." The meutionedcontemporary points out that one of -the eluties cf the pro spective congr sb and its branches would bo to look to the quality of immigration as to mere numbers. Thi9 is of the greatest impoitance. The South, in so- Hating immigration, should exercise a jealous care t j endanger or prejudice it self by permitting the infi is of European paupers. Sincere, iutell:gent, asbimtla bly new comers chould have a heerty welcome, but a barrier should be placed before thoe hordes of decrepit and las situdinous immigrants which are swarm ing into the Vet and Northwest at a rate which, itis ftarei, in the ni will ba productive: of strioug results. It the South is willing to help larself In this matter s-he will be greatly benefitted in many ways . Business of the Week.

For mur der, horse stealing and forgery death. I was a sold:er in General Houston's army and recall one instance of horse stealing, where the guilty party was per mitted to escape. It was in Montgomery County ia 13 ;7. The man was tiled, found gu'lty, put upon the horse he had stolen, his legs tied under the horse and he was Jed out to the edge of the timber by some twenty or m ie of the members of the "court," all mounted and armed Arriving at the end of the timbers, all dbmounted,:except the prisoner, and set ting their ri "es against the side of a log, commenced looking around for . suit able galiows tree, f One of rfee party d.s cove ed, some ; 00 yards out in the prai rie, such a tree with a large limb grow ing at right angles to the trunk, some twenty feet from the ground. lie re marked that the Lord had p'anted it there to. hang our horse thief on. Agreed, and' the who'e party walked, leavitgguns and hor-es lehind, leading the condemned man still tUd to' the horse. It was found hard to climb the tree. The discover of it asked for a 'boost. Being a large, fat man, it took all that could get around him to pive the boost, but "they did it, and he climbed to the limb. One end ot the ropo was around the prisoner's neck; to get the other end fast to the limb was the ta-k set for the man up the tree.

Tne" big man, ly n-r on his in east, holding the main part of the rope in o e hand, with the other tried to throw under the limb but e ery time failed to catch the end.
