PERSONAL.

DIR. GEORGE S. FOUTE and a. II.
Webb left the city yesterday for their
future home in Weatherford, Texas. 1t
is a good country, and these are proper
men to occupy it.
COLONEL DAVID LOONHY, after a pro-
tracted absence in New York and Wash
ingtOn, where he was engaged in the
prosecution of claims against the gov
eminent, has returned to his home IN
this city.
THE people Of Memphis will regret the
withdrawal Of Colonel James Coleman
from the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the West
ern Union Telegraph lines of this and
adjacent States. For many years he
has filed this position with singular f.
deity to trusts repOsed, not only by
business men and banking institutions,
but constantly having access t. infor-
nation that affected the private con-
duct, character and fortunes Of indi-
viduals, in every relation Of life, his IN
spotted fidelity has never been ques-
toned. He IS a thorough master Of the
business Of telegraphy. His training
began with the inception Of this system
of intercommunication, which Morse
Instituted, until he is regarded here the
very impersonatiOn of good faith and
of perfect mastery of the art which
must ultimately supplant all other
means of correspondence. He is re-
moved from his position for no fault or
charge; but a reorganization of officers
and departments was made by the East
ern Directors of the corporation, and
his Office was vacated. There are other
attractive positions offered him, and he
will remain, we are pleased to say, a
citizen Of Memphis.

The Common Council Of Reading, at the last
regular meeting, on Monday evening, passed
the series Of resolutions, introduced two weeks
before by Mr.. Wells, providing for the replace
ment Of the tracks, stills, &c, which the Phila-
delphiA Reading corporation laid down in the
night, some time ago, on one Of the principal
Streets in order to shut out the Berks County
Railroad, to whom the city had granted the
right of way. The vote on the resolutions was
very close--1O to 0-and we observe that Mr..
YeAger, who opposed them when they we're in
troduced, was one Of the majority, SO far as
the argument of the case was looncerned, the
opposition had it all, apparently, but the ten
yeas wore probably influenced by superior con-
siderAtions. II the Select branch now passes
the resolutions, 1t will be pretty spectacle to
see the proud municipalityIof Reading re-laying
President Gowen's rails and stills, on the top OF
the ground, through the city, just where his
midnight operators, in defiance OF law and pro.
priety, first Bprinkled them.

WHAT WILL THE LEaIsLATURE DOT

The Gazette intimatea that it is unlikely there
will be much change in our laws" at the Ap-
preaching session Of the Legislature. 1t thinks
the revenue system may perhaps be amended by
the repeal of the travel tax and that the attach
ment law may be ''stricken out, or modified IN
some way but considers, on the whole, that
the session "will be short and possess no great
interest"
II the Gazette reflects to any degree the opin-
lens Of the Democratic majority in the Legisla-
ture-And quite probably it does not-the conclu-
sion is forced upon US that those gentlemen sad
~ fail to comprehend their situation and their
duties, The interests Of the people demand
much more than mere tinkering at the Tax
laws, and modification of the attachment sys-
tenn. II they are unable to rise to more in
tslligent comprehension of what is demanded at
their hands, the verdict Of the people OF Della
ware will be made up and recorded that they fall
far short of performing what is required OF
them.
Let us recapitulate, briefly, some of the ques-
tions which the Legislature, this winter, ought
to deal WITH and which it must at least consider.
We do not undertake that our enumeration shall
cover the whole ground other subjects than
those we mention here may be brought up, and
equally demand attention. But we name at least
these:
First-Calling Constitutional Convention.
second-Equalizing, representation by means
of an Act of the Legislature.
Third-EqualizAtion OF the tax system.
Fourth-An exemption law.
Fifth-Repeal Of the laws attaching wages.
Si1th-Repeal of the travel tax.
Observation-Disclosures Of the Usury Laws.
Eighth-Provision for the education Of those
citizens now deprivedof all school opportunities,
on Account of;color.
Ninth-An improved School System.
Tenth-A general incorporation act.
AS we have already stated, there may be other
measures Of Importance quite equal to some Of
these, which do not occur to us at this writing
but whether there be or not here are ten sub
iects Of Legislation which must be considered. II
the majority assnme.the responsibility of defeat
ing Reform, that will be a burden for them to
bear but those members-we speak, now, without
regard to party lines-those members, whether
Republicans or Democrats, who favor Reform,
must introduce these measures Of Amelioration
and force their consideration. This is duty
which the public interests place upon them, the
discharge of which they cannot avoid The people
of Delaware are now devoting themselves to
these questions, and they intend to have substan-
tiAl Reform. II the Legislature should refuse it,
they will hold the Legislature accountable.

m. uIalIu nnd RIlerrlIe AccIdent-,

A note from Mr.. Hinckley, President of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington, 4 Baltimore Railroad
Co., appears in the New York Times, Of yester-
day. He says:
1.-TWO severe railroad accidents, very similar to
each other, both in cause and effect have recent
ly occurred. One WAS upon the Pennsylvania
Railroad and one was upon the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Both were
caused by disobedience or neglect of well-known
and long-estAblished rules on the part OF men
directly in charge Of the trains. In your issue
of to-day, noticing the Pennsylvania Railroad
accident, you alluded to several other recent &C
cidents occurring upon roads notorious for bad
equipment and worse management. cannot
think that this condemnation was meant for us,
but think that the public will suppose you did 30
mean it. And as our past record ID clearly shown
in the Auditor Generals reports TO the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature to be very good one and one
that compares very favorAbly with any railroad
doing similar amount Of business, may venture
to ask that you will, as briefly you please, call
attention to the fact that during the six years
next preceding November, 1872, only one pas
senger was killed upon our trains, and he "fel
from a car in motion while he was intoxicated" "
and but two passengers were injured, "both Of
whom were upon the car platform, in disobe-
dience of rules
We were using steel rails in 1864, and for
some years have bought no iron rails. We use
the Miller platforms, Wharton switches, Cleye-
land frogs, fog signals block signals, and West
inghAus' brake (although the latter improve
ment has not yet been adopted by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, whose cars made
part Of the colliding train when our accident oc-
cured"
We beg the readers attention to the fact
that this statement Of Mr. H. thoroughly endorses
the views editorially expressed by the CONNER
CIAL, especially as to the cause of the accident.
1t is fact Of public interest, in connection
with this subject, that the Westinghaus brake is
now being applied to the through trains running
between New York and Washington, although,
in order to do So it is necessary to use only the
cars of the p, W. & b., and Pennsylvania roads,
those of the Baltimore Ohio road not being
arranged for the purpose, as President Hinckley
states

A Model Republ,e.

The little Republic of San Marino, in Italy,
would appear to possess an organization which
States occupying larger space upon the map of
Europe might be inclined to envy il. IL is said
to have had its origin in the determination of
DalmatiAn mason to turn hermit. This pous
person when resolved to devote the remainder
Of his life to the telling Of beads instead Of to
the mixing Of mortar, obtained leave from rich
lady TO build cottage, or rather a hut, upon
the hill distant about twelve miles from Rmini
on which the town Of San Marino at present
stands. His repute for piety attracted other de-
votees, and the huts gradually increased in mum
Der and size until they attained the proportions
Of town. The Republic now has a population
Of about 8, 200, and extends over thirty square
miles Of territory, its establishment dating from
the year 1888. Cardinal Albironi, the celebrated
Spanish Minister, made an unsuccessful attempt
to annex it, while the First Napoen who's 30
have had condescending kind OF liking for the
place, offered 1t an extension Of territory, which
it had the good sense to refuse.
The constitution Of ''the natiol" is very sim

why Endure what Is curabIef


"What can't be cured must be endured" says the
proverb; but indigestion can be cured, and there
fore it is the merest stupidity TO endure It. Dyspep
tics have certainly right continue dyspeptcs 10
the end of their days If they choose but as 1t is not
supposed that any rational being prefers physical
torment TO ease and HEALTH the probability is that II
all sufferers from indigestion were convinced that
an absolute, infallible remedy for their compliant
existed, they would with one accord resort 70 it.
We most emphatically declare that such a remedy
does exist and that its name is Hostetters Stomach
Bitters The record Of its success extends over a
period OF more than twenty years. and It is fear
lessy alleged that during the whole OF that time 1t
has never failed to AFFORD permanent relief in any
disorder or arrangement Of the stomach that was
organic, malignant, and incurable. The testimo-
malls that go to establish this important fact can be
counted by the thousand. Stomach complaints that
had been aggravated by q total disregard OF all die
tary rules, and intensified and rendered chronic by
medincinal treatment or drastic purgation, have 10
hundreds Of instances been cured within three
months by the systematic use OF this celebrated
stOmachic and Alternative, IL should be remembered
that weakness Of the digestive organs involves many
other ailments. Biliousness, headache, nervous de
bilty Bpasms, palpitation of the heart, rush OF
blood TO the head nausea, vertigo and sleeplessness
are among It's concOmitants and results and for ali
these the great vegetable tonic is specific 1t acts
first upon the stomach, and through the stoma h
upon the secretOry and nervous systems and the
bowels, its general effect being always genial and
