noMEsTEADs FOR WOMEN.

A bill is now before Congress extending
the rights of settling upon the public lands
to all women who have attained the age of
81 years, and who choose to avail them
selves of the provisions of the Homestead
law. This measure is good, and unobjec-
tionable so far as we can see. There are
thousands of unmarried women who have
decided horticultural tastes, and who, as
has been shown in many cases, might make
successful farmers and gardeners. They
have natural right to homes on the soil as
we'll as men. One of the greatest needs of
women, is the opportunity to, earn money
and to attain pecuniary independence. This
bill is a step in that direction, and we trust
that it may be promptly passed. ....

cDACK-LOG STUDIES"
HENRY CAREY BAIRD,
Industrial Publisher,
No. 4O6 Walnut street, PHILADELPHIA

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor of MY Summer in Garden" is doing his
best work. Here we haye-in a pleasant fiction
of a talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country back-log-philosophi suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-looks-and, enlivening all,
fresh, 'crisp, yet juicy" and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine deiineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that "for
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. III. "renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist OF
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the best Thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day. and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: "BAOK-LOG STUDIES constitute a de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another OF
these delightful papers will appear In the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and neWsdeal-
ers. 81 year, 80 cents number.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CONSOLIDA
TION


The sale of the Shelby railroad in Ken
lucky, to the Louisville, Cincinnati and
Lexington railroad company, says the New
York Bulletin, il invested with peculiar
Importance as development Of a new and
far-reaching project of railroad consolida-
ton formed by the leading capitalists of
New York, acting in concert with promin-
ent railroad officers in the various States.
The road is only twenty miles in length,
but the transfer is made in the interest OF a
combination of capitalists who hold con-
trolling influence in the Chesapeake and
Ohio, the Lexington and Big Sandy, the
Central Pacific and various railroad COM
panies projected OF in actual course of con-
structiOn in California from San Francisco
to San Diego. The leading roads west of
the Ohio river and west of st. Louis are
also controlled by the same parties. Thus
it will be seen that the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is destirled to become the
main link of the largest and most impor-
tant line of railroads on the continent.
This line includes within distance of half
degree the cities of Richmond, Washing
ton, Louisville, Salt Lake and San Francis
co. To complete the trans-continental
route it only requires to finish the lines

THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAIL-
ROAD DEPOT AT WASHINGTON


The Senate passed the Depot Site bill
yesterday as it came from the House, by
the emphatic majority Of 80 to Is. While
this is great personal triumph for Colonel
Scott and the corporation which he repre-
sents, it is even more decisive triumph of
the public interests over few fossilized
remnants of the old Washington aristocra-
cy, backed by selfish and powerful cor
poration, who considered the route to
Washington exclusively their own.
The people believe in the Pennsylvania
Central, because it is administered in a
liberal spirit Of regard for the public good.
1t seeks its own prosperity by building up
the country through which it passes. The
people believe in Colonel Scott, because he
represents to them the all conquering and
progressive spirit of the age which will not
be fettered by old fogyism. Because
he sees clearly that private ends
may be best attained by advancing the
public interests. His grand schemes are
well worthy to occupy the attention of the
State Legislatures and of Congress. They
look to the organization Of railroad trans
portation into system. Vast but simple,
capable, under efficient and economical
magement, of doing the business of the
country at vastly diminished cost. Cheaper
freights and fares mean cheaper produc.
ton of whatever the people use. Cheaper
living and the opportunities and delights
of travel extended and cheapened
And what is worthier to occupy
the attention of Congress than this
How do the acrimonious political debates
and the trifing and inconsequential curren
of business, which occupies the larger por
ton of the time in that body, compare
with this in Importance? 1t is a healthy
sign when body, notably devoted in tn
past to mere party politics and discussions
of theoretical questions, devotes portion
of its time to considering how the people
may share in the great benefits of moderl
science and mechanical inventions apple,
to transportation and travel. | a
1t is well, indeed, that it should invit
its distinguished and powerful civilians, tn
captains of its mighty enterprise, like Col
Scott, to advise it and suggest the hes
modes, by which this beneticent end ma,
be reached. a.a .aa ... .. .sasG
The triumph of Col. Scott means tn
triumph of the new over the old regimi
The triumph Of the people over tn
oligarchy who would rule them for selfis
purposes.

The Dispatch is again Sin its lunes"
on the subject of the "rag, tag, and bob
tail" government that threatens our city
with an inundation of inconceivable folly
and ruin, if the Conservative ticket, ''re-
markable for the high character of the men
who compose it," is not elected. 1t sees
an array of horrors, unspeakably great
and vexing, in such calamity as will in
evitably befall our city, if this thing should
happen. We almost sympathize with our
neighbor in his prospective affection, and
would gladly hunt up the dog that has bit
ten him mad, in the hope of getting a
stray hair to relieve his malady. The
calamity that is to come upon
us, is truly frightlul to contemplate. We
actually shudder as we read the enume-
rated horrors ''Lewis Lind sey will again
be power in Richmond''--'Joe Cox will
flourish like green bay tree'-"the
STATE JOURNAL, as was its wont in for
mer days, will dub Cornelius Harris
Hon. ,'"-''eight negroes and one white
man bad luck to the race to which he be-
longs will constitute the Republican ticket
for the Legislature"-"the streets will be
thronged with negro policemen '-"trou-
bles innumerable will follow"-" property
will shrink to nothing in value"- build
ing will cease'' will loiter
about the streets"- colored vagabonds
will flourish and constitute two-thirds of
our juries"-"the devil will have his work
shop, with half a dozen trip-hammers, in
every body's brain''- schemes innumera.
BILE for plundering the city will be concoct.
ed by Radical schemers' nobod y
knows what will not happen here, if Re-
publican ticket should be elected.
Now, if we were forty times the Vandal
our neighbor takes us to be, we could not
but commiserate its misfortune, with all
this stream of horrors poured upon it at
once. If we had the remotest idea thai
we were lending ourself, however unwit'
tingly, to any such threatened calamities as
these, we should fly the city, and our polit-
ical associations in t,as we would the plague
or second visitation Of locusts, or --worst
still--lice, such as once afflicted Egypt.
But, seriously, the Dispatch believes il
no such over-wraught picture itself. |
knows that the city government was well
and even creditably managed under a for
mer Republican administration, and that j
would be so managed again, should its owr
ticket be defeated. The people of Rich
mond are not all fools-that aoe know
But did we believe that such an edtoria
appeal as the Dispatch makes to them to
day, was necessary to bring them up tC
the polls to vote the Conservative ticket
we should despair of ever discovering
another grain Of sense in the city.

VNAKE 1T TO YOUR HOME.

1t is so much the fashion nowadays to con-
yey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories TO such degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have a wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of frs tclass writers,
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary T.. Dodge, Louisa NJ Aleott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spohord, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia G.. Runkle and many others, who
furnish to this journal the best original stories,
of the purest character and highest grade-thus
conveying much instruction in pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper,
the gardener, the farmer; a capital department
for children and youth; the news of the day;
financialiand market reports etc. Its engravings,
costing over SOS 900 year, are of high order of
merit unsurpassed by any Illustrated paper in
the world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at

THE CONNECTICUT sENATORsHIP.

We think that good many journals
are making themselves ridiculous just now
over the election of Senator Ferry, of Con-
necticut. We are not aware of any utter
ances made by that gentleman, looking to his
support of the "Liberal" ticket, or his
cooperation with the "Liberal movement"
so-called, which was inaugurated with such
flourish of trumpets land brazen ones at
that at Cincinnati. The Dispatch goes off
with an immense flourish over the result,
pronouncing it "the first grand Greeley
triumph" and, in the space of dozen
lines, INDUCES in all sorts Of .gloritica-
ton, in which obscure biblical references,
the confguration of the planets, the malig-
nant and ill-boding aspect Of the stars, the
folly of the World, Gf not of Belmont and
everybody else in the Democratic party
and "great crowds" sending out Gan i'm
mense volume of sound" in song over a
single couplet from "Old Connect" are all
mingled together, in a confusion of meta
phorical splendor that is quite refreshing
for these warm May mornings.
Now, all this glorification over the re-
election of Senator Ferry amounts to just
this: The Democrats in the Connecticut
Legislature, finding that they could ac-
complish nothing by adhering to ex-Gov-
ernor English, the Democratic nominee,
decided, at late hour, to cast united
vote for Senator Ferry, in the hope of de-
feating General Hawley, the regular Re-
publican candidate. 1t was well known,
before this decision was reached, that Sem
ator Ferry's friends were numerous enough
to secure his return to the Senate, with
the Democratic vote thus given him; and
his friends were those who believed that
Mr.. Ferry was entitled to be returned, by
all the recognized usages Of the party.
The Hon. j. F. Babcock, who mar
shalled the Democratic forces in this move
mcnt, declared, most emphatically, that
the triumph was one without result to the
Democratic party, further than indicating
their preference for Senator Ferry ovel
General Hawley; that Senator Ferry was
incapable of being approached with view
to any accruing advantage to the Demo.
cratic party, and that no political signili'
canoe whatever could be attached to tho
result. Mr.. Waller, late Secretary O
State, and a leading Democratic member
said that the movement was one suggested
by Ex-Governor English, the Democratic
nominee, who greatly preferred MIR. Ferry
to Mr.. Hawley.
1t is very certain that had this triumph
of Mr.. Ferry over caucus nomination
been one of any such significance as that
attached to it by the Dispatch and its con.
temporaries here, it would not have escaped
the notice of such sharp and sagaciou'
leaders as Messrs. Babcock and Waller, o
the Connecticut Legislature. Nor woule
they have been slow to claim such advan
tage, as neither of them belong to the class
known as +" Bourbons" in Connecticut, bu
are advanced and liberal Democrats, favor
ing no doubt the Cincinnati movement.
