THE Managers Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company have
inaugurated a system for the trans.
mission Of money from principal
offices, in many respects like the
post.oilice money-order system.
A person wishing to make aquick
payment to any'other person in
another place, has only to step
into the telegraph office, deposit
the amount Of money he desires
to pay, send a message to the
payee that he has deposited a GER
tain amount to his credit, naming
the telegraph office at which it is
payable, and almost before he
leaves the office the payment will
be made, though hundreds ofmiles
separate the parties to the trans
action. The office receiving the
money authorizes the Office from
which it is to be paid, to pay the
amount so deposited, and charge
the amount against the Office Civ
ing such authorization. The rate
of commission is one per cent.
Orders ranging among the thou:
sands may be obtained, and the
amounts are only governed by the
ability of the offices to which they
are sent to pay.

by an article which appeared in
the Raymond Gazette a few days
since, attempting to respond to q
criticism in the HERALD upon the
political course Of Judge Simrall.
The Gazette shows, or at least
endeavors to show, that Judge
Simrall was incOrruptible in 1850
81 and lS6O-6l, and deals in a
column Of panegyric upon the
subject. What Judge Simrall may
have been in lSj0-5l, lS60-6l, we
do not now propose TO discuss
we simply look to see what he is
to-day, and ask why is it so. Judge
Simrall is just'as much Radical
to-day, and just as much re:
sponsible for the acts Of the
party as Butler, Sumner, Brown
low, Morton, and Others. He can
not stem the tide Of party, nor
does he attempt to. In fact, he
but gives it additional volume and
momentum, and riding upon the
bosom Of its surging waves
comes to sweep over his State
and his people, whom he has left
to unite with a party of corrup-
ton, fraud and outrage, for what
cause, his conscience and his God
alone know, but which we can
conjecture, when we know that
appointment to q lucrative Office,
followed fast after his protesta-
tons Of faith. We have it by au-
thority, that Judge Simrall in
structed a member of the lower
House and Of the Senate, that he
was in full and complete harmony
and accord with the Radical
party. He was compelled to make
these declarations to secure both
nomination aud confirmation,
and fully equal to the emergency,
he made them. Thus he stands
pledged to the party and all its
measures. It is the Radical party,
its odious measures and not Gov.
Alcorn, which Mr.. Simrall, and
all situated like him, support.
There are, we are sorry to admit,
many men in the State who have
assumed the same position. And
in the last number ofthe Raymond
Gazette, the editor Of that jour.
nal, in support of his position,
enumerates quite list Of promi-
nent men of the State, who have as
sumed a similar political position
with himself and Judge Simrall,
The fact that they have deserted
the people, does not make it right
or cOmmendable, Mr.. Harper,
and should be a cause
of regret and pain, to ev-
cry lover of the people
to know that so many men whom
we have been taught to admire
and respect, have allied themselves
with the enemies of the State
Had these men remained true and
labored to stimulate and arouse
the people over whom they once
exercised such magical sway, many
of the evils which have befallen
us, and with which the almost
present future is pregnant, could
have been averted or greatly mod.
ifed. But by their detection they
have weakened those battling for
the rights of the people, and have
strengthened the avowed enemies
Of the State. But, thank fortune,
there is life in the old land yet,
and the people will ere long make
an exhibition Of effort and inten-
tion which will eyentuate in sweep.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Illinois Constitutional Con
ventiOn has submitted to the peo.
pie of Illinois a proposition, the
adoption of which will initiate
much needed reform in railroad
management in the United States.
The section on railroads which Is
to be voted on separately, pro-
vides that all railroad companies,
chartered and doing business in
Illinois, shall maintain public
Office in that State, where books
shall he kept, and all accounts of
transfers. of stock shall be entered
and open for public inspection.
These accounts shall include the
amount of stock held by each
person, the sums paid in and
by whom, and the names and
residences Of all officers Of tile
company. Railroad companies
are prohibited from consolidating
with competing or parallel lines,
and then only after sixty days
notice. A majority Of the direc-
tors of each railroad company
chartered by the State shall be
residents thereof. No railroad
company shall issue bonds, or
shall increase its stock or OBJ.
legations, except for value aCtu-
ally received and applied TO
the purposes Of said railroad.
To render such increase Of addi-
tiOnal stock legal, it is necessary
to give sixty days public notice of
the intention to add to the capital.
Fictitious increase of stock is ab.
solutely forbidden. The State
shall, in all cases, maintain its
right Of eminent domain over
railroad and corporate franchises,
and of subjecting them to the pub.
lie welfare the same as individ-
uals The Legislature is always to
exercise the right to regulate rates
ofpassenger and freight transpor-
tation SO as to prevent extortion.
1t will be seen that these clauses
strike at the roots of some of the
more glaring abuses connected
with railroad management in this
country. They do not cover the
whole subject, and in some re-
spects they may not go to the
extreme length required in order
to correct these abuses. But they
are a step in the right direction.
The changes required to effect q
complete railroad reform are too
sweeping and radical to be accom-
plised by a single blow. But these
are sufficiently to the point, and
if adopted, as they no doubt will
be, they will secure to Illinois the
best railroad laws Of any State in
the Union.

what YieksbuFR Pays to sap
port Her Radical Paper.

The terms Of the printing bill
gives the public printing of Warren
county to the Times and Republi-
can. The HERALD knows full well,
that, because iti Democratic in its
policy, 1t stands no more chance
for even a share Of this public
printing, than does a cows tail Of
REST in fly time Ito be classical.)
But the HERALD'S people are tax
payers to some respectable extent,
and they know of two or three
other Democrats who are tax
payers, and therefore, It becomes
right and necessary to say q word
about this matter, and we wish TO
make this little remark:
The publication of the Council
proceedings for year under the
rates allowed by the terms of the
Printing bill will amount to. $1,000
For city tax list. st.............. 800
For city advertising. 1900
For job work. k.............. 1000
-
Total City printing aud job
WOTk s..s''sssss.s... SO,oUU

For county tax list........ l,SO0
For county job work. k....... 5000
For county advertising. ...... 500
Total for county printing and
Job work. k................. 6,3OO
Thus we see the estimate for the
city's work for the next year at the
proposed public printing rates
is...........................S5,SOO 800
And for county work. ...... $500
Total. ......Sl2,l0O
A right snug little sum for Mr..
Times and Republican! No won-
der the HERALD feels bad (ahem y.
And now, what did the same
amount of work cost the city in
1869 done by the HERALD?
1t cost the city about. $1,000
And the county about. ..... 1000
Total al................. S3llO0
So our people have the gratifica-
ton of knowing they are about to
pay upwards of NINE THOUSAND
DOLLARS to the Times aud Repu-
blican as a bonus to support fraud,
corruption, extravaganza, tyranny,
arrogance-in q word, Radicalism.
Who pay the taxes of this city
and County2 Democrats! who will
be forced to pay these numerous
thousands to the Radical Times
& Republican? Who but DEMO-
CRATs!
