FROM BRAxTON COUNTY.

Editors Of the Register: .-.-
We presume a general reform will be
made, in some of our laws at least, this
session of the Legislature, and that the
object of the Legislation will be to re-
duce our expenses as far as possible. The
people desire this to be done, from the
fact that our taxes are enormous and
money Is becoming tighter every day.
Among other reforms that can be made
Is o reduction Of our Free School Of
fcers, which we think can be done with
cut detriment to the Free School sy stem,
and in fact we think ID would be an adj
vantage to the Free Schools to have less
machinery, The Registration law can
be amended SO as to abolish the Boards
Of Registration and township registrars
entirely, and in their place substitute
the Commissioner or Commissioners of
the revenue, rs the case may be, in each
county, whose duty il shall be TO regis
ter every individual tba5s entitled to
vote under our constitution and laws,
and then let the matter end. In case any
person takes the oath and improperly
registers, let him be amenable to the
courts, a Law to this effect would guar
antes every individual that is legally
entitled to vote that privilege, without
being harrassed every year by Board
of registration, and it would put an end
TO strifs and difficulty, that has been so
conn mon of late yeare, and would save
the State o considerable sam of money.
A general reform is needed without re
gard to political parties. We want
something done to induce immigration
to our State, and men of capital, and
then organize thorough system of in
ternal improvements, which would soon
put us on aB equality with other sister
States A rigid enforcement of our
rev enue laws is needed; defaulting
sheriffs and other officers should lie
made pay over every dollar that they
have collected and failed to pay into
the State Treasury. The people can
not afford to be cheated out of their
money by defaulting officers.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persons unscqusinted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannst estimate the
Importance Of their healthy action.
Regu ar and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than ECU.
larity Of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from
the Blood those effete matters, which If permit
ted to remain would speedily destroy life. A
total suspension of the urinary discharges will
occasion death in from thirty.six to forty eight
hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is disposition 70
Urinate more frequently than natural, or when
the Urine is high colored or scalding With weak
ness in the small of the back, IL should not be
trifed with or delayed, but Koskoo should be
taken at once to remedy the difficulty, before n
lesion Of the organs takes place. Most of the
diseases of the bladder originate from those Of
the Kidneys the Urine being imperfectly Sc
GREETED in the Kidneys, prove Irritating to the
Bladder and Urinary pa isages When We recol.
lect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys
except through the general circulation of the
Blood, We sec ROW necessary it is to keep the
Fountain OF life Pure.

A CAT TN THE MEAL.

There was much Of the murky smoke of
the rebellion reproduced in the United
States Senate debate lately on the Texas
Pacific Road bill, recriminations sharpen
ing the adverse opinions of Senators on
the subject of the opposing gauges Of four
feet eight and half inches and five feet,
the former being the usual Northern and
the latter the usual Southern gauge upon
Centrals and other roads built under State
authority. The Importance of the choice
lay in making connections practicable by
means of like gauge, it being contended
that the former would render the road
convertible to Northern uses exclusively.
Some time was lost, and much good tenn
per over-heated, in an effort to resolve the
chances as to whether, many years before
the late war, the five-feet gauge was not
adopted by Southern men for the uses of
the rebellion, and with distinct view to
its organization. If suspicion of others be
uncongenial, as is said, to moral purity
and integrity of purpose, the Senatorial
supply Of these elements is of dainty pro-
portions, and quite inadequate to the
national demand. The inconsistency of
such theory with the opinion steadfastly
maintained by loyal statesmen during the
war, that rebellion was the act
of political leaders, who by their
influence and adroitness led the people
into revolt, does not seem to have oc-
CURED to Senatorial minds. We design
only, however, to express our regret at
the bad taste displayed and the lack Of
elevated sentiment which it denotes. It
is the hearty wish Of the American people
to keep all appearances of mental weak
ness and Of moral faint from their Sen

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The principal topic of interest yester-
day was gold. The aurifereous opened at
lis; went to 11S!; shot up to 100;
mounted from that to 1901; reached
121 shortly after, and finally subsidized to
1871, where it stood at the close of bust
ness hours. All this was, as usual, in
obedience to the Geographic dictation of
Wall street. As the New York brokers
choose to jump, ours must follow; and a
pretty active sort of dancing it is for these
sultry days. very considerable amount
changed hands at the high figures stated,
while all kinds Of predictions as to the
future flew about in promiscuous fashion.
Until we can look into futurity a little
further than ordinary mortals have been
hitherto able to do, the coming price of
gold is only matter for the yeriest guess
work. 1t is an easy matter to invent a
theory on the subject, and a great many
wiseacres are busily concocting theirs, but
it is all luck as to whether events will
justify any of them. If by accident, some
one blunders into true prophesy, he will
surely claim and get credit as profound
and tar sighted reasoner but prophesying
under circumstances like the present, is
thorough CANNON and humbug
There was stable movement in Ship
island but the price was very unsettled.
Hardly two brokers on the street could
agree at any one time as to the market
value of the stock. The Eighth District
Court yesterday ordered the city of New
Orleans to carry out the Jefferson City
ordinance, regarding the interest on the
$4,000 of Ship Island bonds, about
which there has been so much talk in the

DOLBEAR COMMERCIAL CoLLEGE.-Yes-
terday was the opening day Of the Dolbear
Commercial College i'll the new location,
Nos. I64 and 166 Canal street, opposite
Christ Church. The accomplished principal
received calls during the greater part of the
day from numerous friends, former pupils
and many parents of those who have en-
joyed the benefits of the institution, who
took the occasion to offer congratulations on
the continued prosperity of the college
since its foundation in 1892 The several
rooms in the new location appropriated to
penmanship, mathematics, bookkeeping
and the ancient and modern languages, are
airy, spacious, and SO arranged, by rotating
the classes, that any number can be accom-
modated.
The Dolbear Commercial College is. SO
far as known, the first institution founded
upon the idea of educating and training
young men expressly with reference to
commercial pursuits. Its entire success is
proved by the readiness with which its
graduates obtain business positions.

This is what the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal says about Signorita Filomeno, at the
concert there Wednesday evening:
The violin solo, by Alard, on airs from
La file du Regiment" performed by
Signorita FilomenO, was miracle Of musical
culture, genius and execution, as illustrat-
ing her wonderful command of the instru-
ment, and her power as performer the
profound difficulties of the violin being
mastered, as it were, by inspiration, while
every note trembled with intense feeling
and tenderness. The grotesque comicalities
of the Carnival of Venice" were pro-
duced with weird abandon that was at
times brimful of whimsical conceits and
Puck-like melOdiOus antics. Her manner
OF playing these two very diffidult pieces
for the violin, stamps her as an artist of the
highest order of merit. OF her charming
smoothness, softness, delicacy of articula-
ton, plaintievness and subtle warmth of
coloring as pianist, we have already had
occasion to speak, and can but reiterate the
opinion that there is a fascinating grace and
feeling about her method and style, which
are strong enough at times to ''hatter men

No good reason occurs to US for such a
course on the part of Russia. If she
desires to size Constantinople, it is not
necessary to go to war with France, as
some seem to imagine. On the contrary
such design could be better put into
execution without embroiling herself with
