Senator ShOleS and the RaiIr Dads.

We publish this week Senator Sholes
minority Report of the Select committee tc
whom was referred the bill for the appoint
ment of three Railroad Commissioners
Mr.. Shoes makes careful and candid
st atenent, of the relation of Railroads and
Railroad Companies to the communities
through which they run, and to the State al
large. And also accounts for the apparent
high Railroad tariffs at the present. He
thinks the evils complained of are more the
result OF temporary causes, which will right
themselves, than settled system of fraud
and injustice on the part of Railroad owners
and managers. The Report is worthy of a
careful perusal by all who feel disposed to
charge Mr.. Sholes with acting especially in
the interests of the Railroads The bill as
recommended by Mr. Sholes passed the Sen
ate by large majority, but was lost in the
Assembly. We cannot but think they stood
il the light Of the peoples interests when
they rejected the Bill. 1rllII

A Strange StOry-A Singular Reunion.

In l847 young physician who had lust
graduated at the Missouri State University.
and returned to his home in Illinois to prac-
tice his profession, led TO the altar a LADY,
who had won his love. The young phvsi-
clan, with that professional ardor which
tburns so brightly i'll; THE heart of all students.
had on his return home procured subject
or cadeyer, for dissection, by Decorating the
village graveyard. By some means this fact
became known, and warrant was issued
for his arrest and placed in the hands of an
officer to serve, which he did few moments
after the marriage ceremony had been per-
formed. The crime being a felony, the
bridegroom rs position may readily be i'm
aglned to have been extremely unenviable,
and the prospects of prison cell being any,
thing but agreeable, he determined to ma Ike
his escape. The officer having granted him
the privilege of saying few words
lin private, to his bride, he retired with
Der to a room, babe her farewell, iumned
from the window and escaped He was
pursued for many days, but finally managed
to elude his pursuers, and settled in Nilsson
ri. A year later he wandered into New
Mexico, and from thence in the course of a
few years, found his way into California;
During his wanderings he failed to cores
pond with his wife, and she, believing him
dead, married again After time he
learned this fact but determined to remain
dead to her, and it was not until a few
months ago he altered his determination.
Happening to4pick up paper published in
one fthe Western cities, he read an account
of the death of the husband of his wife. and
knowing her to be free, he wrote to her,
telling her that. be ill.ived, and cherished
her memory as green as when he kissed her
lips in parting nineteen years ago. He told
her that he was still free, and asked her to
come and enjoy with HIM the fortune he had
accumulated. The wife widow received the
letter. and while she read, the early love re,
turned, and she determined to Join him.
Llsposlng OF her property, she, with
daughter twelve years of age took passage
for California, where they arrived ON Thurs.
day last, and were met on the old husband
who conducted them to the Cosmopolitan pro-
hotel, where they remained till license was
cured, and minister remarked the parties
after which they proceeded to the house
that had boen prepared for them, and wnere
they on Thursday evening, entertained
quite number of friends. Truly, the Incl
dents of real life are more startling and TO-

Reward for Soldiers and Sailors.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Z, 1866
The president has just issued the follow.
ing circular to the heads of departments in
reference to appointments to office:
1t is eminently right and proper that the
government of the United States should give
earnest and substantial evidence of It's lust
appreciation of the services of the patriotic
men, who, when the life of the nation was
lmperilled, entered the army and navy to
preserve the integrity of the Union, defend
the government and maintain and perpetu-
ate unimpaired in its free institutions. 1t is
therefore directed, first that in appointments
to office in the executive departments of the
general government, and the various branch
es OF the public service connected with said
departments, preference shall be given to
such meritorious and honorably dischar1 cd
soldiers and sailors, particularly those " DO
have been disabled by wounds received OF
disease contracted in the line of duty as may
possess the proper qualifications. I'd: That in
all promotions in said departments and the
several branches of public service connected
Herewith, such persons shall have preference
when equally eligible and qualified over
those who have not faithfully and honorably
served in the land or navl forces of the Uni
ted States 1iJcH ems bees

To-day has been almost universally observ-
ed as one Of regard for the memory of Pres
ldent Lincoln. All of the departments were
closed, and business in the city was gene

peared IN mourning, and some of them
republished the account of the great event
one year ago. Flags were suspended at
half-mast at all public places The house
convened at noon, but in the evening ad-
journed out of respect to the day." There
should have been public demonstration
OF some kind in this city either on Saturday
or Sunday-either would have been appro-

the American portion utterly in their COM

An analysis of the vote shows that Mr..
Raymond, who so shamefacedly faced the
vote on the original passage of the bill, is
the ouly Republican who voted against it
to-day. Mr.. Bingham would have done so,
but was paired with an absent member
from Pennsylvania The only member
who changed his vote was Whaley, Of West
Virginia, who was for the bill before, and
against it to-day. Mr.. KuykendalI, of Illi-
nois, who voted for the bill originally was
absent to-day. MIR. Wentworth explained
that he believed he would vote the same
way to-day if he were present; while Mr..
Ross said he understood he would vote
against it if present Mr.. briggs of Mich
igan, lost his vote by being absent from the
chamber when the roll was called. He will
tomorrow ask leave to record it in the affir-
native. If this be granted it will make the
aggregate exactly three to one for the bill.

will the President Execute the Civil Rights
RiIl

The copperhead papers of the north like
the Milwaukee Nsvs, Chicago Times, &C.,
whose editors imagine themselves already
the special advisers and directors of the adj
ministration have notified President John
son that the Civil Rights Bill is not law
that he is bound to respect. The Milwau-
kee Meas went into quite lengthy argu-
ment to prove that the passage of the act
over the Presidents veto was usurpation,
tyranny, revolution and finally unconstitu-
tional, and therefore not binding upon the
country, and not to be enforced by the exc
cutive department of the Government We
have not the least fear that the evil counsel
of these wicked counsellors will prevail with
the President. The National Republican
which is supposed to be the Presidents or
gan at Washington speaking of the passage
of the bill in the Senate, says:
''If the bill passes the House, and be-
comes a law ,all that remains is for the Pres
ident to execute it in good faith, which VIZ
are certain he will do"
Now, that, we take it, is much more sen
sible than these senseless harangues tina
copperhead editors are constantly getting
off with the hope of urging the President t.
some overt act of conflict with Congress
such as dispensing the present Congress
with the military force of the Union. ant
installing the members from lately rebe
States as the real Congress or having
Sumner. Stevens and Howe, indicted ant
tried for treason. These are some Of tn
, things that copperhead editors, who assum
to be par excellence, the friends and sup
porters of the President, are constantly urg
ing and advising. Well might the Presiden
excaim if their assumptions were true
''save me from my friends!'
