road r. Jewett, Of the Pittsburg,

testing against the passage Of the

Incorporating seven different rail
road companies, all radiating from
Washington, and known as Senator
Sherman's proposition. The circu-
lar of the railroad officers is ad-
dressed to the members ofCOngress
and influential parties, requesting
them to use their influence to defeat
these measures. The circular says
this is but an entering wedge to a
system of railroad legislation by
Congress, intended 10 extend over
every part of the country, which
calls for immediate and vigorous
exertions on the part of existing
railroad officers to avert.

GRANT,R RETREAT.

Gen. Grant is receiving some
pretty sharp raps for running away
from Washington to avoid calling
upon the President upon new

respondent ofthe New York Herald
reports the following conversation
with Gen. Butler to have taken
place at the residence of Attorney
General Evarts on new years day;
Some one remarked to Gen. b. Were

is cited in proof OF i'll
that the State Legislature was the
only body that was competent to
pass upon the eligibility of its
members, and that, acting I'M
der orders from Gen. Meade"
each House appointed an investi-
eating committee to inquire into the
qualification of it's members, and
reported that neither House had
found any member ineligible. Gov.
Bullock, who had his own ambitious
aspirations to crafty, and who saw
from the complexion of the Legis-
lature that those aspirations were
not likely to be realized, continued
to assert the ineligibility Of certain
members, and called upon Gen.
Meade to insist that they should
vacate their seats. Gen. Meade,
however, refused to interfere. He
did not deem it polite or expedi-
ent to overrule the action of tho
Legislature" or to set his individ-
ual. judgment in opposition. His
course, he said, was in strict accor-
dance with the instructions sent
him from Washington, and which
emanated from Mr.. Wilson, the
Chairman ofthe Judiciary Commit
tee ofthe House Representatives,
and Messrs. Boutwell,, Farnsworth
and Payne, Of the Reconstruction
Committee. 1t also received The
unqualified approval of Gen. Grant.
The conclusions were that "the
State having been admitted to rep
resentation, the power vested in
the military commander by the re-
construction acts ceased, and
civil authority resumed its
sway" The legality Legislature
being thus recognized its adoption of
; the fourteenth constitutional amend
} ment was treated and held valid, so
far as conformity to the will OF
Congress can give validity to any
} thing. 1t is in the face of such
; facts as these that Congress is i'm
, portuned to stultify itself by re-
handing Georgia to a territorial
condition, for the benefit of few
carpet baggers and scalawags who
, are anxious that the process of re-
: construction shall be gone through
with over and over again, so long
as there is money to be made out Of
it, or their right to hold Office anG
retain it in perpetuity is successful
ly disputed. The result of this at
: tempt to kick Georgia out of the
5 Union, is that the whole subject o.
e reconstruction comes to the fore
a ground again. Every reconstructed
4 State in which power is passing
e from the Radicals will be to recon
f struct again. Already, it is said
!, the Representatives from Louisiana
f now in Congress urge the setting
: aside the whole election in tina
f State. Their allegation is terror
e ism, and their complaint the success
S of Seymour and Blair, and the cleo
0 ton of five Democratic Cangress
f men in the State. The proposed
}. action in the case of Georgia anC
S Louisiana involves the rejection o
: the electoral votes of those States
The first instance of the sort, after
= the electoral votes. have been cast

The telegraph says that the new
Mayor of New York has requested,
or rather ordered, that the prefix
Honorable" shall not be applied
to the incumbent Of that Office dur
ing his term. This is a move in the
right direction, and it would be well
ifthe term were generally abolished.
The number of "Hons," Gems, Coils,
Majs, Capts, etc, now extant, is one
of the sorest evils of the times.
Nearly every man who has a title
wants an Office, and as soon as one
gets an Office he is dubbed with a
title The thingis getting disgust
ing. Plain Mr.. or Esq, will soon
become the only designation of
merit.

CRrmrwAI POLLY.

We agree with the Cincinnati En-
qutrer, that among the thousand
foolish, useless, and utterly vicious
projects which are to be forced |
through Congress before the fourth
of March, it would be difficult,
probably, to find one combining
more Of the elements of mischief, in
a small and unostentatious way,
than that reported by Mr.. Garfield,
just before the holidays, providing
for the establishment of military
professorships in at least one col
lege in every State. According to
the reported bill, two officers are to
be detailed by the President to each
of the selected colleges, to be paid
by the government, and supplied
with books, camp equipage, ord
nance and ordnance stores. These
| officers are to oficiate as military
instructors, and to be allowed the
services of drummers and fifers, also
at the public cost. We have already,
as is well known, q very costly es-
| adjustment at West Point, for the
education of selected few ofyoung
men designed for positions in the
army. 1t now turns out many
more graduates than could find
places in any army that should be
maintained in republic; and an
official report, we believe, asserts
the capacity of the Academy to
educate double the present number
of its cadets with but a trifing in
crease of expense. Yet the bill in
question proposes to give US some
forty West Points, instead of one; fol
it is morally certain that ifthis mill
tary element once gets footholc
in any of our colleges, it will speed
lily become the chief feature in theil
educational course; there will bt
an irresistible call for additions
professors, more drummers and ord
nance stores, and a general increas'
of facilities" Then it will b,
found essential that, after educating
the cadets of these military schools
we shall find employment for them
That, indeed, we believe, is contem
| plated in the bill already befor
Congress, which makes the gradu
ates of those semi-military college
eligible for commissions in tn
army.
