are made still more desolate, for they know
''they come back no more"
EVERYTHING here is changed and changing
still from day to day. The population
changes, the customs, habits, and laws of
the people are changed, and the govern
ment is the reverse in every particular of
what it ever was when decency and intel
ligence ruled. Some local Improvements
are visible about Columbia, based on the
supposed trade and money which the Leg
islature may bring to this centre. If there
is any money in the State these vampire
rulers will have it, by fair means or foul,
and here they must spend some of it, for
here they will chiefly live and riot in eve
ry excess. Easy made and quickly spent
is the motto of many of them, and they
care nothing for the expense, knowing how
easily they can pluck the taxpayers at
pleasure.
Some interest is taken in the question
of U. S. Senator, but whoever of the num-
Der named may be elected it may safely
now be announced that Sawyer's successor
will be his inferior and of decidedly low
er type in every way. FGcile deseensus-
here we have it to the full-down grade,
brakes gone, and under full Roadway the
decent is being made. If any man here
cannot see and feel this he must be blind
enough to be duped by the preaching of
Moses, the homilies of Cain, and the unc-
tious and wheesy prayers of the mulatto
Cardozo."

The Marlboro Gazette of Wednesday
says:
lowing to the tepizootic' the mails have
for the past few weeks been carried by the
cars, leaving here at $40 P. M. On FIJI
day last, the old order Of things was again
renewed, the mails closing at 1 o'clock
It would be well for our citizens to make
anote Of this change"
SO far 10 we are concerned, we hope
when the trains reach our vicinity, they
win also bring our mails. Even if the ice
this winter, does not interfere with their
rsgnlarreeeipt by the Potomac mail steam
eN--which now seems very probable-the
present schedule by which they are trans
ported 10 Glymont, 10 very inconvenieni
one. BY all means, then, we trust the
Postofice Department will let the mails
come with,the cars. -

- Hospitality is virture, but abuses
of its privileges are so common that one
is tempted to regard it as generally bette,
in theory than in practice. That is to say
it is virtue to be exercised with caution
and of the truth Of this opinion Mrs. B.
of San Francisco, has been disagreeably
convinced. Mrs. B. is described as ono
of those ladies moving in the 'best circles,
and lately she was informed by letter that
a beautiful and accomplished niece of an
intimate friend was about to make her a
visit. Glad to welcome an eastern belle
Mrs. B. determined to omit nothing that
could render her guests stay pleasant.
In due time George Vaudeville arriv-
ed, and her beauty, her rare accomplish
ments, and, above all, her luxuriant gold
en- tresses, became at once the theme OF
conversation among the San Francisco
bachelors.
The story is easily guessed. She came,
she saw, she conquered. A wealthy bro
ke- offered the fascinating niece his hand
and heart, and, being fortunate in his suit.
pressed for an immediate marriage Mrs.
B. rejoiced, and to her rejoicing came the
anxious niece. What should she do for "a
trousseau? she had written to her banker,
but it took time to receive money. OF
course, Mrs. B. was only too glad to adj
vance the necessary $1,000, and magnif
iccnt array of laces and other goods was
at Miss Georges disposal Meantime,
having told her predicament to her be-
trothed, he too had handed his check for
like amount to his enslaver. AS they
say on the stage, exit Georegie; enter po-
lice" A trunk of cast-off clothing and a
profusion of golden hair was all that the
fictitious niece but clever swindler had
left behind her.

TEA railroad in Illinois established
discriminating rates in relation to local
business. Parties injured by such course
commenced suit to forfeit the charter of
the offending company, because it had vi
olated an act Of the Legislature prohibit
ing such rates. On the trial the facts were
admitted, and in defense the Railroad
Company pleaded the inviolability of its
charter, and also that the act of the Legis-
lature, attempting to regulate its charges
for freight, was unconstitutional. Judge
Upton decided that the law was constitu-
tional, holding that the people in creating
corporations had not parted with the SOW
ereign right, inherent in all governments,
to protect themselves from abuses, extor-
tions or unjust determinations on the part
of corporations of their own CREATION
The case now goes to higher court. The
Company claim for their support that the
charter granted by the State for the rail
road is contract between the State and
the Company that under that contract the
Company is authorized to fix its own rates
of freight and passenger fare, and that the
State cannot by subsequent legislation
undertake to prescribe the rates to be
charged by the Company, the Federal
Constitution prohibiting the States from
passing any laws impairing the obligation
of contracts. The issue in the case is plain
and easily understood, and the people in
all parts of the nation will watch this case
with intense interest.
