RICHMOND, May 27.-rhe rejolclngs of the

have elected George Cahoon, Mayor, and their

THE RELAPsINa FEvER.-This terrible epi-
demic is still raging in the Bedford street dis
trict and with the approach of summer 1t is
more than ever important that the efforts to
check 1t should be increased If its spread to all
parts of the city is to be prevented. Rev. j. ID.
Long, the Bedford street missionary, reports
the number of cases of relapsing fever sent to
the hospital on Monday last to be be IL; on
Tuesday, 10; on Wednesday, 8; on Thursday,
10. Dr. Goodwin, the Port Physician, under
the direction of the Board of Health, has insti-
tuted many energetic measures that 1t is to be
hoped will speedily be put in execution. This
is q matter in which every citizen is interested,
and those who are endeavoriug to crush out the
pestilence should receive the hearty support or all
classes in the community. One of the great
necessities in the Bedford street district is bath
ing facilities, by which the miserable wretches
who are breeding disease in their filth may be
in some degree purified. Mr.. Long is of the
opinion that by means of baths the pestilence
can be checked more readily than in almost any
other way, or that at least the baths will be
most valuable auxiliary. For the establishment
of baths, however, money is needed, and we
commend the matter to the consideration of our
necessary aid. If all the churches would take
up collections to assist the Bedford street mis-
sionary in carrying on his good work, sum
large enough to put the necessary baths in
operation might easily be raised, and an i'm
portant step be taken to prevent the city from
being devastated by pestilence during the
summer. This morning six cases were reported
for removal to the Municipal Hospital, in which
institution there are already 1913 cases.

The American star Chamber.

1t was one of the strongest points
made by the popular party in Eng
land against the Infamous Star
Chamber tribunal of Charles L, that
it tried and passed sentence upon
men without giving them an oppor-
tunity Of being heard IN their de-
tense. Freedom Englishmen con-
sidered THIS such an ~intolerable out
rage tina: they took up arms a
gaInst 1t, swept it away, and with
il the throne and the king who up
held 1T. We, it seems, have a tri-
bunal in the United States which
assumes and exercises judicial func-
tions, and is conducted upon the
old Star Chamber principle. IL is
the House of Representatives. A
few weeks ago, as is we'll known,
Mr.. Porter, a member of the House
from Richmond, Virginia, got into
a personal difficulty with oue ofhis
constituents, Mr.. Pat Woods, and
camc off second-best in it, receiv-
ing, in the encounter, a black eye.
There was an excellent chance for
a case before the Police Court
But the Congressman did not care
to go there with it, because both
sides would have a chance to be
heard. As he only wanted it tried
upon his W statement, he brought
the matter before the attention of
Congress-. That body solemnIy adj
Judged that Mr.. Woods had COM
mitted a great breach of"priVilege"
against its dignity in laying his
profane fingers upon the sacred per-
son of a Congressman, and ordered
him to be imprisoned for three
months. Mr.. Woods requested the
privilege of beng heard by counsel
before the bar of the House. This
was refused, upon the principle OF
The Dutch Justice of the Peace, who,
after hearing the PLAINTIFFS side to
u suit, immediately proposed to
render judgment, without hearing
from the defense, and denfended
his action upon the ground that,
having clearly made up his mind
on the statement of one party, he
did not want 70 unsettle 1t by hear
ing the other. Now, it is quite an
important question how far the

home, and If it leads toa blow, can
Congress imprison the striker of 1T,
as long as 1t pIeeses, for the offense?

full of treading upon the toes of q

that the bill ought to pass at this
session. Every person knows very
well that 1T is going to produces
great inconvenience. 1t will pre-
vent the members Of both parties
here, both the Democrats and Re-
publicaDs, from advising their con
stituents properly in the Fall cleo
! tions X X x X x
One of the great difficulties in
governing this country IS the want
of information on the part of the
people. The people, as a general
rule, r disposed to do right ifthey
are not misled; and 1T seems to me
they are entitled to all the inform
alton that can be reasonably furE-
ished them. This is their prIvil-
eye, not ours"
Then Mr.. Nye brought IN the
other argument, that Senators must
not be taxed fo~ sending home the
buncombe speeches made TO secure
their reelection
81 deny that it is my duty to put
my hand N my pocket and pay for
sending intelligence to my constit-
uents that should go everywhere
free, that is freighted with the dear
est rights and privileges of the clti-
zen. l deny that on the cor Of
economy L am to be borne down by
taxes to convey that intelligence
which the government for three
quarters of q century has conveyed
free of charge"
Not content with this, he insults
every man of the multitude who
signed petitions for this reform:
"Slr, rine-tenths of those who
signed those petitions would make
an affidavit to-day that they never
made. such fools Of themselves
Laughter. EFhey did not know
whether they were signing a peti>
tIon TO abolish the Thanking privil-
oge or to increase postage. They
signed to order. The postmaster
who could return the most Lanes
was most certain of holding his pc
sitlon. That is The ''great reforml"
These extracts tell the whole stO-
ry. They show precisely why this
bull was defeated. Senators who
know very well that they can only
maintain themselves in place and
power by sending home TO their
constituents false and garbled state
ments, and base appeals to the q
ner passions of men, voted against
this bill, because, If carried. it wo'd
compel them 10 do their election
eering at their own expense. And,
to cover their defiance of public
opinion, they asserted that the PEG
pic did not know what they were
about when they signed petitions,
and would not know how TO vote
anyhow, if some all-wise Senator
did not occasionally empty upon
them, at public cost, a little OF his
infinite knowledge. This is the the>
Dry OF his performance; and on that
theory, at bottom, a majority of the
Senate has acted, in defiance of the
House, which passed tho bill with
only seventeen negative votes, IN
defiance of the people who have Pc
titioned for it by thousands; and III
defiance ofthe press, which has hon
orably demanded a sacrifice of its
own convenience TO the public wei
fare.

the worst crash, the greatest bank
ruptcy that ever existed IN England
since she recovered from the wars
of the French Revolution and her
mighty expenditures at that period
was induced by investments IN rail
roads that were not profitable and
paying roads. Who has forgotten
the name of Hudson, the railroad
King? Who has forgotten what q
crash was produced by immense in
vestments in railroads by the stim-
MUS that was given to them then by
capitalists, who diverted capital
from legitimate and profitable en-
ployment to the making of raIl~
roads which could not be built, run,
ard operated with d profit?
Why, sir, what was done there
was but a drop in the bucket to
what we see here. Here we have
seen every year, within the last
threeor four years, an increased di-
version of capital for the purpose o.
making railroads that will not pay,
that cannot pay; millions of dollars,
I might almostsay hundreds ofmI-
lions of dollars, invested annually;
not only in this country, bat Europe
is flooded with the bonds and mort
cages of railroad companies of the
United States; the debt Of the coun-
try heaped up mountain high, year
by year, and that, too, for expendI-
lures in enterprises winch eannotb be
profitable, most Of which cannot be
run except at a loss.
1 ask Senators who do not wish to
e a financial crisis and crash and
general bankruptcy in the country
to pause before they go on stimula-
ting these enterprises which are not
well-fouuded, into which prudent
capital would not embark, because
for the time being at least they
would not be undertaken at all II 1t
were not that the Government
steps in and bears the chief portion
of the expense of building them, if
rot the whole expense, and then
gives them as a gift to private indi-
viduals, to private corporations"

iect to place a Prusslan on the
Spanish throne is indorsed by the
| Cortes. war Will ensue; first between
Spain and France, but Prussia will
Ebe soon drawn into the struggle as
the defender and supporter Of
Prince LEOPOLD.
So far il appears the candidacy
! of the Prince has been warmly
espoused by the Spanish executive
Government; has been acqulesced
Inn by Prussia, and accepted by the
Prince Leopold. The ratlfying ac-
tlon of the Spanish Cortes is all
that remains to complete the intri-
que. The Cortes has adjourned
until the 31st of October; and if the
election of a King is to be earlier
brought up, a special meeting will
have to be summoned. Such II
meeting, it Is how reported, will
take Place on the goth of July, but
it would be exceedingly rash to
predict that the election of LEOPOLD
will be the result, with the pros
pect Of a war with France staring
the Spanish Legislators in the face
as an inevitable result. 1t requires
to make a King, a majority of all
the members elected to the Cortes
something that will be difficult OF
attainment for LEOPOLD.
Possibly, on the decision Ct that
body, the question of peace or war
rests. In the meantime, France is
alive with war-lIke movements, and
Prussia is dong something IN the
same way, but in u much more
quiet manner. Ii a general war
ensues, France, Austria and Italy,
are likely to be arrayed against
Prussia, Spain and Russia. Eng
land remains out of the fight, to
compete with America in making
money out of the war. The first
gun fired will probably advance
~breadstuffs and provision from fifty
10 ore hundred per cent. The
Question of peace OF war, is, there
fore, of vast import to the Amer'
lean farmer.
General JORDAN, the Cuban
commander and envoy in this coun-
try, has an interesting letter IN the
New York papers, of Saturday,
discussing the complications which
may arise in the struggles between
France, Oh one side, and Prussia on
the other, whereby the United
States might possibly be involved.
He makes q shrewd suggestion,
that. in the event Of Wharf.-The possess
ion of Cuba by Spain would array
the Cubans on the side of France,
and that nation could hOnora bly,
seize the island as an act of war
against Spain. The Cubans,
General JORDAN says, would well
come and cooperate with the
French as the quickest way of rid
ding themselves of oppression.
To avoid such a complication, JoR-
DAN advises a formal declaration,
Immediately, of existing war in
Cuba by the United States, and the
CONCESSION of belligerent rights to
the insurgents.
