State Supervision of Railroads.

Among the most important of tho
Acts passed by the last Legislature ef
New York, was one establishing q
Railroad Commission. 1t is composed
of the State Engineer. State Com,
missioner appointed by the Governor,
(who has selected james B. Swain,
formerly Of Windsor, VT, for the Of
fice,) and q third commissioner to be
selected by all the Railroad Companies
in the State, acting in common. Ito
object is to bring the roads under the
legal supervision of the State author
tics and of the Legislature to give
responsibility and efficiency to their ad.
ministration, and to see that they are
managed for the best good of ak con,
cerned. The Commission has the pow.
er to order before it the officers Of the
roads to examine them under oath as
to its affairs ; to require the exhibition
of the accounts and books of the roads;
to approve their bylaws and regula>
tons, which shall be Of no legal effect
unless so approved; to suggest to the
Legislature necessary legislation in
reference to the railroads with other
needful powers and duties.
The necessity of fsome efficient means
for investigating the affaifs of these
great corporations, and for bringing
them under the proper control of the
State Governments which give them
existence, is apparent in moro States
than one. We need a Railroad Com
mission in Vermont. FIVE had had ono

and effective, the stocks and securities
of Vermont Roads would not be at the

holders, have known too little of the

CoNdnrssroNAL MORALITY We were
infinitely amused three or four weeks
ago by practical joke in Washington
city upon Il number of nice men in Con
grcss. 1t was too good to be left uupub-
lIshed
A couple of merry fellows, one Of
them distinguished member of Con
grcss from southern State, aud the
other distinguished eX-editor from
Kentucky, concocted letter rurport'
ing to be addressed by young lady to
a very fine looking gcntleman 1t was
cot up in first rate style. The pretend
cd young lady set forth therein that she
had several times seen the gentleman
she was addressing, that she was capti'
waited by bis fine face and maui y form,
that her heart was deeply touched by all
she saw and heard of him, that she must
mako his acquaintance before his de-
parture from the city that she hoped
and prayed lie wonld forgive her seem
ing boldncss as it was the first impudent
act of her life, that she had always moved
and was still moving in the h;ghest cir.
cles of the capital, that she would be
upon certain square of certain street
at precisely i2 o'clock on the following
day. in dress which she described with
great peculiarly, and that she hoped
and trusted lie would meet her and thus
afford her an opportunity Of a brief per-
sonal intercourse with the idol of her
heart The two wags had between thir-
ty and forty copies of this letter written
by female friend of theirs, and they
sent these copies to between thirty aud
forty members of Congress, selecting
those of course who were known to en-
tertain very exalted opinion of their
own personal destinations
Every thing being thus arranged the
two jokers called upon us and another
young gentleman, explained what they
had done, and invited us to got into
their carriage, ride with them TO the
point of assignation, and see the sights.
We unbesitatingly consented, and we
saw sights sure enough. Riding upon
the designated square, we beheld the
whole of tho thirty or forty members
Northern men aud Southern men, Wings,
Democrats, and Know Nothings, walk
ing to and fro, all gazing earnestly in
every direction and at every female fig
ure, to discover the object of their anx-
ious search
We concluded that, ifa few more cop
les of the letter had been sent to the
members of the House Of Representa-.
iives, tho house would have had to ad-

WooiNG MORMON Wives The Nor.
mon editor of the Deserct Ne,cs thus
tells tho people of Christendom how
strangers can become iugratiatcd:
II a gentleman wishes to associate
with our females, let him repent and bo
baptiscd for the remission of sins. But
this alone will not insure his success, for
many have submitted themselves to the
ordinance of baptism and have added
damnation to thcmsclvs by hypocritically
bowing to certain rites and ceremonies
with motives other than to glorify God
and save themselves from this untoward
generation. Let these 60 forth and
preach the gospel to the nations, like the
Mormon Elders, without purse or scrip
Let them be mobbcd, tarred and feath-
cred, and whipped few times for Christ's
sake. aud not for their own follies and
return, aftor few years. labor, clear in
conscience, pure in heart, and unspoited
from the world If they can do these
things, and endure. they may begin TO
ASSOCIATE with our females. and seek a
mong them companion aud partner
for the life that now is, aud for that
which is to come"
This opens field for eutcrpriaing
young men, not to be found in every
part Of the world. If the Mormon la.
dies insist upon such demonstrations of
love and purity, it is no wonder that
polygamy is part of their religion, for
their 'iruo lovers must, of necessity, be
scarce, unless these ladies are far more
attractive than those Of other deuomin
ations.

SUPERIORITY OF AMERICAN OVER
BRITIsH lIoRsEs FOR CAvALRY.-J.
Prescott Hall, in an address, said:
During the Canadian rebellion, the
English sent over to those provinces q
considerable body of cavalry. Many
of these horses died on the voyage,
and they were compelled to mount
their men by purchases in New York,
Vermont and New Hampshire, along
the borders of Canada. These AMI
mails | saw in Montreal, in exercise.
They were specimens of the middling-
sized Morgan, with striking marks Of
blood; and Colonel Shirley, Of the 7th
IIussars, Informed mein 1912 that they
were the best cavalry horses for all
work he had ever seen; so good, he
said, that they were not to be sold
when the regiment went home, but to
be taken to England for USE"
