one corporationrwith the limits ofthe State,
let us hold that organization to strict ac-
count and place upon it all needful restric-
tons. The problem will be very much sim
plihed. !" How we admire the simple, child
like faith that fondly trusts to see the STRIPPING
that has just treated the Legislature with such
impudent defiance, grown to giant, come a
trembling culprit to bow to the DEGREES of the
same tribunal!-the touching simplicity that
can believe it will be less difficult to control
the railroads when all their capital is con-
centrated and welded by one central authori-
ty than now, when only the constituent ele-
ments of such consolidated power are in
existence! Imagine the Pennsylvania Cen
trail, backed by its hundreds of millions,
brought to book by the legislature of the State
from which it takes its name! 1t has only to
speak, and the servile instrument of its power
called the Legislature of Pennsylvania in
stantly obeys the edicts ofthe autocrat. You
can't bind Cyclops with rope of straw.
But all needful restrictions are imposed
now" Nonsense! Great consolidated COM
panles care nothing for such things. The at
tempt TO control railroads in the matter of
fares, connections, precautionary signals, &C.,
has proved futile in many States even before
the era OF consolidation. In the ORIGINAL
charters of some of the New York roads there
was provision declaring that their dividends
should not exceed given per cent of the
cost Of construction. But such provisions were
constantly eyaded.' Since the era of CONSOLE
dation it has been found impossible to place
any bounds to corporate power. The later
history OF New York, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey is little more than commentary on
the facility with which the railroads induce
legislatures to relieve them from al, ambor-
rassments ANY limitations on the power Of
the Maine Central accompanied by such leo
islation as would enable it to effect its present
purpose would be absolutely null and void

The Great Sea Tunnel.

The tunnel under the Straits Of Dover, from
England to France, is at length to be com.
menced, joint stock company for the purpose
having been organized and registered in Lon
don. Two millions sterling will be required
for the experimental driftways, and the tun-
mel can be finished in five years for five MIL
lions sterling, working day and night from
both ends. The distance is twenty-five miles,
and as no shafts for ventilation are spoken Of,
It is understood that the plan includes TIVE
parallel tunnels with trains running only In
one direction through each 80 as to keep up a
constant current of air. We entertain no
doubt of the ultimate success of this plan; and
when 1t shall have been accomplished there
can be little doubt that 1t will be the progeni-
tor of other great works Of the same charac'
ter under the sea, just as the short submarine
cables were the beginnings Of the great At
lantic cables. Applying this to the great pro
blem of shortening The time occupied by the
transit between Europe and America, we fine
that If tunnel were driven under the chan
mel to Ireland and steamers run from Galway
TO The coast OF Newfoundland, and tunne
connecting the latter with the mainland, vie
Cape Breton, the sea voyage might be reduced
to three or four days, and the whole time be
tween London and New York traversed by see

In the work before us be attempts to explain
their creed, and to exhibit the bearing OF spirit
ual manifestations upon the future religious
history of the world. Professionalism, he argues,
has failed because it adopted the repulslVe
doctrines of Calvlnism; and the dangeris that
we1hay now be driven to Atheism, OF sub
mission to the authority of Rome. Spiritual
ism, which adopts scientific conclusions and
yet demonstrates the Immortality of the soul,
offers the only mode Of escape. According to
Mr.. Owen, the miracles which accompanied
the birth of Christianity were manifestations
of the forces which we now Include under the
name of spirltuallsm, and we are now, as we
were nineteen centuries ago, on the eve OF
new religious era to be heralded by the occur
renee of like mysterious events. In support
of his views Mr.. Owen has raked together
heap of ghost stories of all sorts and sizes,
and he carefully describes the spiritual mani
festations which converted him to the spirit
ualistic faith. All these we believe to be I'M
postures or delusfons: but we have no cause
for thinking that Mr.. Owen is gay deceiVer,
and he has compiled book which may con-
frm the faith of hls credulous seven millons,
and will cause many sceptic to tngle with
surprise.

A Fact for the Germans.

The New York Tribune has Information that
Baron Gerolt, the veteran Prusslan Minister at
Washington, was not recalled BY his govern
iment on account of any exigency In its own
politics, but ON the complaint Of officers OF
our government that hemanIfested undue zeal
lin serving the interests OF Germany during the
war with France. If such complaint vas made,
it was probably because the Baron exhibited
too much curiosity In regard to the supplies OF
government arms and ammunition furnished
ito France, matter that Is about 10 be inVestl-
gated by Congress, for there is no limit to the
iinsolence of the military Ring toward those
who dare to interfere with any Of the plumber
log schemes which have been hatched In and
about the White Bouse. This Ring derives all
its power nom the President; but whelher
General Grant is its tool or accomplice is q
question which seems to puzzle some OF the
most ardent supporters of the administration.

systematically wrong. And, II Oongressionai
and Legislative committees report that our
Radical rulers are, in their view, as impu-
IDENTITY lawless as We knowthemto be, where
and when shall these avowals take practi-
cal and beneficial shapes?
The Radical Ku-Klux Committee Of Con-
gress are forced to say that they can give
'little weight to any" assertion made by
Governor Scott; that the conduct OF the
State officials in raising money at the rate OF
three dollars for one is ''lndefeDsible;" that
bribery has prevailed in the Legislature, TO
such an extent that legislation was controlled
by q baud commonly called the Forty
Thieves, who would not.permit any impor-
tant acts to pass ''until they were satisfied; )"
and that the facts disprove the allegation that
"the deplorable financial condition OF the
ssstaten was caused by the Ku.Klux organl-
zation. 80 .1ra 80,
These assertions, as far as they go, con-
firm what the Democratic press have writ
ten, week aiser week, during the past iour
~
years. Nor do they tell as plainly the tale
of fraud as do the treblingof the State debt,
and the teufold increase Of taxation. They
are less shocking, because SO familiar tnan
the knowledge that the State Senate deiio-
erately retain in his seat man whom tneir
own committee declare to have been defeat
ed by his Democratic opponent.
Well may we. think that, II an exposure OF
the rascality OF the State Government could
give us relief, that relief would have come
long before thisi But we must continue
the struggle. We must paint the thieves
and perjurers in their true colors. But the
publication Of the government, after all,
must be the work Of the people OF the State.
They have nothing to expect from Congress
sional committees, and nothing to hope for
from the leaders In Columbia who boast ol
their successful trickery and glory in their
infamy. Only by patient labor can the peo'
ple meet the enormous demands made upon
them. Only by flrmness, by perseverance,
by liberality of sentiment, by.a steady look
ing to the wished for goal may the people
compass their deliyerance. We must stand
ready to choose the least Of the many evils
which surround us. We :nust be willing to
take what we can get, as the first step to
obtaining all that we can desire.

The .H.atnen ohinee" Scare.

The question of Mongollan immigration does
not seem likely to become difficult for many
years to come. The commissioner of mining
industry shows in his recent report that TO the
s5,s33 Chinese assigned to California In The
census of 1860 the census of 1870 adds only
4,s77, although extraordinary efforts bad been
made to induce emigration from the FloWery
Land. In all The Southern States there are
but 1853 Chinese, and In the Middle and Eastern
but l7s. In the mining sections we find l94s
Chinese In Montana, 3l42 in Nevada, and 1880
In Oregon. In the Territories alone their total
Is 7o75 in an aggregate population of 42,73o-
excepting the Indian Territory. 1t is evident
from these statistics that the white working
men of the North and the Pacific coast and
the colored laoorers Of the South have but lit-
tie to fear from the competition of cheap Chi.
nese labor.

Major Lockhart, in Fair to See, gives US

The same level. Mrs. McKillop ls unnecessa'
riy tiresome and coarse; but Bertrand Came

Morua Grant, are capital conceptions, whose
contrasting dispositions serve admirably to
maintain lhe interest OF the book. In bis de.

who is always candid, and sometimes blunt,

The Charges Against the County om-
cials.

The Grand Jury OF Charleston County
make out a strong case against the county
officials. 1t is, OF course, one-sided state
ment; but the-charges are 30 grave, and 80
we'll agree with public report, that, COM
ing as they do from body Of jurors, the
majority OF whom are colored Radicals, they
deserve instant investigation. In this de:
mand the accused officials will, If they know
what is: good for them, heartily join. Silence
now is equivalent to confession Of guilt.
The Grand Jury charge the County Com
missioners with. evading legal scrutiny Of
their transactions; which evasion is aggra-
waited by the fact that the Commissioners
control the paying out, every year, OF about
one hundred thousand dollars Of county
funds, and by the unpleasant circumstance
that seven indictments, for fraudulent practi-
ces in Office, are now pending against two Of
the present Commissioners. The Jury recon-
mend that the Commissioners 30 indicted be
tried without delay; for ''they already stand
"convicted by public opinion OF being chiefly
Irresponsible for the present scandalous con-
"dition OF the county finances, resulting in
ssvirtual bankruptcy, as numerous citizens
aud county officials are instituting suits
against the county for their just dues. F"
Against the County Treasurer the charges
are that he has paid out 10000, although
continuously announcing that "there were
"no funds in the treasury;" that payments
were made clandestineIy to spectators, who
had bought county checks at q large dis
count; that persons intimately connect
"ed with the County Treasurer" are specu :
lators in county checks. that the greater
part of the tax collections for the current
year have been used to pay checks chargea'
able against the tax levy of 1870, with the
speculating holders OF which checks 'the
Treasurer has been, and is, acting in
concert" They recommend, therefore,
that the County Treasurer be required to
furnish full statement Of oil moneys paid
out, with the names Of the persons to whom
money was paid, and with the original
vouchers.
These are the main points Of the present
ment; and we repeat that the charges of the
Grand Jury are 30 definite and grave as tt
demand judicial investigation. This is
due to the accused as well as to the taxpay
ing public.
