Purchase of a Railroad.

The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany has bought the Pittsburg, Columbus
and Cincinnati railroad. Tho latter road,
known as the Pan Handle route, runs from
Pittsburg to Columbus, over the Colum-
bus, Chicago and Indiana railroad via Pi-
qua and Logansport to Chicago and is the
shortest route from New York and Phila-
delphia via Pittsburg and Chicago. The
line crosses the east and west roads be-
tween Columbus and Chicago, and all north
and south roads between New York and
the Mississippi, so that, in connection with
the Logansport, Peoria and Burlington
railroad, it constitutes an almost direct air
line from Philadelphia to Burlington and
Keokuk. This route is likely to prove 4
formidable competition with the Fort
Wayne road.

Our Railroads,

We published few days since general
military order from District Headquarters,
|suspending all railroad elections in North
and South Carolina until after the govern
ment of these States shall have been fully
organized under the Constitutions recently
ratified by the citizens thereof and approved
by the Congress of the United States
This order looks very fair upon the sur
face, but it is in keeping with the bitter
party bias which has in the past Influenced
too many similar orders, and which we, as
Independent journalists, are unwilling to
pass by unnoticed.
We know nothing of railroad matters in
South Carolina, but are half inclined to
believe the order was intended entirely for
this State, and our neighbor, was included
only for forms sake. The annual meeting
of the Stockholders of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad takes place during
the present month, and that of the North
Carolina Railroad during the month of
July. It is very certain that the State
government of North Carolina will not be
fully organized under the new Constitution
before the election for officers will be held
on the Atlantic Railroad, and it is doubt
full whether it will be done previous to the
July election of the North Carolina Rail
road, and out of abundant caution this
corporation is also included in the order.
The purport of the order, therefore, is
to prevent Governor WORTH from appoint
ing the State Directors upon these two
roads and to organize them on trooly
loil - basis by Governor Holden. In order
to prevent the re. election of Presidents
WHrrFoRD and TURNER, who have made
themselves very acceptable to the Stock
holders by the ability and energy with
which they have administered the affairs
of their respective companies, the elections
are postponed until the State government
has passed into the hands of the Radicals.
We have no doubt that the Governor
elect and his hangers-on have caused this
order, and we sincerely regret that the
Commanding General has lent himself to
such petty matters, embracing, however,
the grossest injustice to the individual
stockholders. We had supposed gentle
men reared and educated as soldiers
taught to respect the honest opinions of
others and honoring valor and gallantry
the world over-would refuse to lend them
selves to such cowardly men and disrep-
utable purposes. But party and Sec
tional prejudices have taken such deep
root in the breast of all that we begin
not to be surprised at anything which men
in authority do, whatever their past educa-
ton and association. Old things have, in
deed, passed away, and new things have
taken their places
We can only no pc that mems judgments
and opinions may be SO Influenced that
dishonorable conduct whether in high off,
Gals or in private individuals, will yet re-
ceive its fitting reward. Certainly suffer
ing people will have cause to remember
those who have used temporary power to
add to their misfortunes and humiliation.

CrocodiIes and the Cholera.

It is suggested that one cause of the great
increase of cholera and other diseases in
India during the present century is to be
found in the destruction of the crocodiles
by En- glishmen. 1t is tenet of the Hin
doc religion to throw all corpses into the
sacred Ganges, where they formerly were
at once eaten up by the crocodiles, and not
allowed to pollute the atmosphere. Lat
terly, however, there have not been enough
of these animals for the purpose, and both
the waters and the air have been poisoned
by the bodies continually thrown into the
river

The Result of the Election,

We publish extracts from the Order of
General CANDY, announcing officially the
result of the recent elections in this State.
There are twelve Conservative Senators
and thirty-eight Radicals, and about forty
Conservative Representatives, which would
leave eighty Radicals. We are not sufi-
GENTLY we'll acquainted with the politics of
all the latter to give the figures very de-
fnitely. The Radical majority, however,
is sufficiently large for all practical pur-
poses, and North Carolina will be recon
structed, SO far as these men can do SO.
under the most approved Radical plans.
Their programme may yet fail to carry.
November will decide.
The concluding paragraphs of the order
is of Importance, and will not crafty all of
the faithful who are over-anxious to receive
the reward of their perfdy. General CAN
BY says 1.-THE officers elect, both of the
Legislative and executive departments, will,
before entering upon the discharge of the
duties of their Office, take and subscribe
the oath of Office, prescribed by the law of
July 2, 1862, to prescribe an oath of Office
and for other purposes"
This refers to the ia nous "iron-c clad
oath, and such as are not able to take it
will not be allowed to discharge any Off
cial functions until their disabilities shall
have been removed by Congress, or unless
the oath of Office required by law shall have
been dispensed with, or until the State
shall be declared entitled to representa-
ton, in which last event the elected candi-
dates will only be required to be eligible
under the third section of the Howard
Amendment.
The State cannot be declared entitled to
representation until the Fourteenth Arti-
Gle Howard Amendment shall have been
duly ratified by the Legislature, and if
the members of the Legislature are re-
CURED to take the "test oath," there can
be no meeting of that body, for quorum
in no event can take that oath, and the
mere removal of disabilities will not mend
the matter in this respect The fact is
that those who adopted the reconstruction
laws did so with view to punish and hu-
initiate the South, and not for practical
and sensible operation, and therefore is it
that there are so many absurdities and i'm
possibilities required. It will not take long
for men hungering after the Offices to get
over these difficulties.

The Bankrunt Law,

It may not be known to some of our
readers that what is called the fifty per
cent. clause of this act takes effect on the
LIST of June next that after that date no
one can take the benefit of the act whose
estate will pay fifty per cent. to his credi-
tors It therefore becomes those who in
tend to petition for adjudication of bank
ruptcy for themselves or against others, to
apply to the court IL season.

The Tomb of the Putnam Family DesCcra
ted and their Skeletons Sold.

BOSTON, May 19-One of the most rl-
voting and depraved robberies ever bemd
of has been discovered in the town of Dan
vers. A tomb in the old burying ground
holding the remains of the Putnam family
for generations past was broken into uy
some young men, who stole the silver plates
from the collins, and then broke the coffin
open and stole the skeletons of the dead.
and then sold them to a manufactures OF
bone manure. Some boys who were play
ing about the bone-yard got hold Of Lu-
man skull, and were using it for football,
when a man passing discovered the nature
of the skeleton, and further investigation
disclosed the above horrible facts. Somo
of the thieves have been arrested, and it is
thought they will be apprehended, and
that other robberies of the same nature will
be ferreted out.

May number has an unusually rich table of
contents. The Farmer and the Planter,
since their combination into one, on the
first of this year, and published at the re-
duced price of two dollars per annum,
leaves little excuse to those interested in
the pursuits Of the field and garden for
not having, every month, valuable amount
of suitable reading matter for study and

"a farmer must not only work nova
days, but he must think and read" Such
being unquestionably true, the Planter and
