Those earnest gentlemen Of the press, and
not Of the press, who espoused fanaticaily
certain notions which Congress, for parti-
san purposes, carried out, are greatly dis
appointed because it does not run the whole
of their platform. They desire certain
economical measures which Congress is not
inclined to such as abolishing the Thanking
privilege and they fall to complaining, and
some Of them to abusing Congress because
it does not adopt these measures. The
grave United States Senate is charged with
triAing with the question of abolishing the
ranking privilege Mr. HAaIIN, of Maine,
wherepresents the fanatics in the Senate,
declared the conduct of that body On the the
subject Il. be - tfssfiing and disgracetul.S
But it Is. quite likely that HAMLIN no more
desires the abolition Of the franking priVi-
lese than anybody else. He feels that he may
get the credit for opposing the privilege,
and enjoy the convenience and economy OF
using 10 too. Congress is no fanatic, and is
too profoundly impressed with what it owes
to itself to part with any privileges and
perquisites it now enjoys t#" !.

Railroad Meeting at FarmviIie.

Above all the cities on the earth do I
greatly desire to see Richmond become
great aud prosperous. She is dearer to the
heart of every true Virginian than all other
cities combined; She is the capital of our
noble State !; was the capital of the proud
est, most noble, warlike, chivalric nation of
people that ever lived. Memories cluster
around her that are now hardly lawful for
us to utter, and we long to see her start on
her career of prosperity and glory. She
can be made the foremost manufacturing
city of the globe. The whole South desires
this. Every southern man speaks with
the South direct railroad communication,
and thousands Of those who were her de-
tenders for SO many long years will make
annual visits to your merchants and manu-
factories, carrying back the goods and wares
YOU have to sell. This good old county of
Cumberland has for years been striving
to have road built from Richmond to
Lynchburg, which would give direct COM
munication with Southwestern Virginia
and all the southern States. This road is of
more vital importance to Richmond than
any that can be built. The counties along
the line are anxious for the road, and viii
iberally subscribe money, lands, and county
bonds, towards constructing the same but
the counties, without the aid of Richmond
and Lynchburg, are unable to- build the
road. Win Richmond do what she can?
Will she put the ball in motion2 Now,
Messrs. Editors, a mass meeting of all the
friends of the airline road from Richmond
to Lynchburg has been called, to take place
at Farmyine, as the most accessible point.
on the 10th day of June. Will Richmond
send up large delegation to that meeting?
VIII she show that shefeels interested We
shall see. If not, the counties will have to
abandon the project, and seek some other
outlet for their trade and produce. To
speak OF consolidation, would itsnot be as
wen to let it take place both from Norfolk
and Richmond /; have thesame president for
all the roads; and when freight and passen-
gers shall arrive at Lynehbnrg, coming this
way, let both be freeito go either route. &!

A TERRIBLE CASE OF HYDRoPHoBIA IN
BRooKLYN.-The passengers in the gentle
mems cabin Of n Fulton ferry-boat on the
passage to Brooklyn about halfpast 5 O. clock
yesterday afternoon, were surprised at the
antics Of handsome and well-dressed boy
of about thirteen or fourteen, who had been
noticed for some time looking with an eX-
preston of dread and horror at the water
through the cabin windows. But when he
suddenly howled like dog an inkling Of the
terrible truth came over them, and one gem
tleman called aloud, "Gentlemen, that boys
got hydrophobia." Two stout men seated
near the lad had presence Of mind enough to
seize him Instantly and keep him in his seat
while the rest Of the passengers gathered
round in dumb pity at the horrible fate
threatening the little victim. On the arrival
ofthe boat in Fulton ferry slip, on the Brook
lyn side, two stalWart policemen appeared
and took the bosAtn the station-house in
OnStle way up Fulton street and out
York lSftga crowd followed the officers
and their Stricken little, prisoner. The
officers held him tightly bNthe wrists, and
kept one thumb each pressed against his
cheeks to prevent his biting them, while while 2
third officer cleared the sidewalk of the
gaping and plying throng. The little fell
lows eyes were bloodshot and his face red
and flushed with agony and exhaustion.
At every three or four PAGES he would howl
or bark, and attempt to leap forward like q
dog, or he would try to snap, at the police
man who had him in charge. Attic sta
tion-house all persons were excluded, but
the curious thronG remained around the
dcns for some time. The officers were I'M
able to find out the boys name or residence,
or any further facts connected with him.

ELECTION D.s.-The Baltimore

our commissioners of election counted the
ballots. Now read what the Washington
Republican, a Republican paper. says OF
the Radical cand idate for Mayor in Wash
ington and his accompliee, the. american. ;
owe have undoubted evidence that the
Bowen officials have had made 4 new de-
vice in the way Of ballot-boXes. These
boxes are so constructed that they can be
stuffed before they are taken to the voting
places, and the ballots SO concealed as not
to be discovered without the box is taken
apart. To carry out this vile fraud, VIII
liam A. Cook and William E. Mott went to
Baltimore Thursday afternoon and made
arrangements at the office of the Baltimore
american to have the tickets printed on
the thnnest kind Of paper, SO. that they can
be easily packed In, the fraudulent boxes,
and also to enable two or more. tickets to
be voted together by the same person. ~.

Senator Sprague on Friday explained the
massacre of Jews in Roumania as follows :
"The facts that will be obtained from a con-
temptation of this subject will result, in my
opinion, i'm this : The Jews in this Princi-
pality had obtained possession of the whole
of the trade, q great portion of the lands,
and about all Of the business connected
with the affairs Of that people. There was
then exhibited on one side population
poor, without occupation or business, and
lizing class. 1t was in consequence of that
condition that has brought this people,
these Jews, to the condition which the
world is called upon to-day to contemplate
and to sorrow over. There is food for re-
Fiction in the condition of things every day
in this country. There is food, I say, for
reflection for us in contemplating this sub
iect, and contemplating our own condition"

Debate I'm tho House on the IncOnae

IL
Mr.. WILSON, of Minnesota "a Virginian
by birth), said ..ssI...'.
Il believe that this is one of the fairest
taxes that is imposed; fair, because 1t falls
upon the rich man and does not touch the
Door fair, because it makes the large In
comes of the manufacturer and money-lend.
ers bear O part of their share of the national
burdens, as against the tariff taxes which go
abroad all over the country and Cypress the
poorer classes. 1t is fair because it is the
only mode bywhich we will reach the I'M
taxed holder Of Government bonds fair,
because it reaches a large class OF saiar1ed
people who escape all State taxation.
Speaking for my own State, and what 1 be-
lieve is the sentiment of majority Of the
country, I hope this section will be re-
tanned. z" 49, -.
Mr.TOWNSEND Mr.. Speaker, the clam
or in favor of the abolition Of the income tax
is q local and manufactured cry. 1t does
not come from the masses of the people. 1t
originated in the great cities, among the
men of gigantic capital, among the railroad
.monopOIists, brokers and dealers in stocks,
wholesale importers, mostly foreigners, and
men of colossal fortunes and extraordinary
incomes. 1t was started by papers in their
interest, and is mostly confined to those
places. and persons 1t has not spread to
the country, and the country papers and
the country people do not demand the
abolition of the tax. This tax is confined
to comparatively few individuals. / hold in

Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
.(who says that only 272,s43 persons in the
whole United States pay it.. If the exemp-
ton beincreased to 81, 600-as it has been.
