KENTucKY.--In speaking Of the defeat Of
tho Cincinnati & Southern Railroad bill, the
Louisville journal says;
THANK Heaven, the time has not yet come
in Kentucky when q proper State pride and
due vcgard for State sovereignty are regarded
as crime, or the acceptance Of position OF
vassaiage to Ohio or any other Northern
State Is construed into virtue. The members
of the Legislature, in their rejection OF the
scheme of a people who helped to impose up
on us the odious and infamous Fifteenth
Amendment, TO obtain control over Kentucky
and Kenmcky's institutions, have behaved
themselves worthily as Representatives and
Kentuckians. We Democrats have our own
way of looking at these things"
So the State that has cultivated the dog in
the manger principle so sedulously through
the national exigencies, shows her inability to
rise above the same mood in matter of state
concern, where n boon is offered by an adj
joining state Instead of the general govern
ment. Kentucky, in her narrowhesS, may
find to her sorrow, that she is standing in her
own light, as much in this as In the other case.

ITCHING FOR CHANGE.

1t is a fact worthy of mention that while
determined efforts are being made in Iowa
for the abandonment of the Supervisor sys-
tenn of county government and the substitu-
ton of Commissioners. instead, Wisconsin
is moving in precisely the opposite direc-
ton. After eight years of Commissioner
rule, the latter State returns to that of
Township Supervisors the measure having
having already passed both Houses of the
Legislature.
These facts of course, have been and will
continue to be made to do duty as argu
ments for and against change in both
States the advocates of the Commissioner
system in Wisconsin, deriving greet encour-
agement in the action of Iowa, and those
favoring the present system in Iowa equal
aid and comfort from Wisconsin. But the
truth is that this action is less significant Of
ineradicable defects in either system, than
of an inherent disconten. with things as
they are, which is characteristic Of Western
people. We are not content to await the
legitimate working out of any plan or sys-
TEN, but upon the development of the
,minutest defect condemn it in toto, and
iclamor for radical change. The history
of our legislation is full of untred expert
,ments; measures and policies abandoned be-
fore their effects, whether good or evil,
could possibly have had time for de-
Identification in their original scope and
purpose. Legislators go to their work like
boy with new jack-knife, clipping and mu-
tnlating everything in their way, and, un-
fortunately the wisest and best consid cred
acts of legislation suffer from their misdi-
rected industry equally with those of more
imperfect character. The removal of de-
fleets in the laws--first making sure that
they are lefects-is legitimate and proper
employment for the legislator, but to cut
and slash indiscriminately, with the mere
purpose of making change, and especial
ly to attempt to overthrow system because
of few surface imperfectons in it, is Meth
er sensible or proper. This is wha: the op-
ponents of the Supervisor system are do
ing in our Legislature. Instead of amend
ing It's by no means fundamental errors,
they are moving heaven and earth for the
purpose Of substituting for it what to our
people at least, is an untred experiment,
and which, whatever may be said in its IA
vor by its advocates in Iowa, seems to have
failed of cos1mending itself to the p ople
of car sister State
