Affairs are in bewldering condition
in Mississippi. Two State tickets both
claiming to be Republican, are in the field /;
but public attention has been diverted from
the consideration of their respective merits
to be concentrated on the question whether
either ticket can be legally chosen in Novem-
Der. This point was raised by letter Of
Gov. Powers TO the Attorney General Of
the State, who decided, in an elaborate
opinion, that lawful election cannot be
held this year. This decision is based upon
constructions of the Constitution, ordinances
and statutes of Mississippi, which have no
interest outside the State, but are attacked
or sustained within it with great bitterness
The prevailing belief seems to be that
valid election can be held, aud it may be
safely assumed that the forms of an election
atany rate, will be gone through. The only
general interest excited by the dispute
arises from the fear that doubts may be
created regarding the legality of any State
Government which may exist next year.
and that this will lead to vexatious, if not
dangerous complications. The question
should be submitted before the election to
some tribunal having the confidence of the
people, whose decision would be accepted as
final by all parties. Whether this can be
done or not, immediate steps should be taken
to so amend the State Constitution that
matter so important and easily determined
as the one of holding elections shall not re-
main in doubt.

Calls have been issued for two eonven.

The rights Of colored persons on trans.
portation routes have again been asserted
by the Supreme Court of Iowa. Emily
Cogar, the plaintiff in the case, represented

of the Northwestern Packet Companys
boats and on going to dinner was forbidden
to sit at the first table, and then elected
from the cabin. She brought suit for dam
ages, won her case in the County Court,
and now on the appeal has been sustained
by the Supreme Court of the State, Chiel
Justice Beck saying First, a rule OF
custom Of steamboat, as q common car.
rler, requiring passengers Of color to occupy
a scat at table in the pantry or on the
guards Of the boat is not reasonable and
cannot be enforced. Second, person oil
color is entitled to the same rights and
privileges when travelling upon a steamboat
as white person, and cannot be required
BY any rule or custom, based upon distinc-
ton on account Of race or color, to accept
other or different accommodations than
those given to white passengers"

One result Of the panic of the last few
weeks, with its accompanying great shrink
age in the value Of railroad bonds and
other securities, will be to bring real estate
into fresh favor as an investment. People
will again begin to regard safety asa thing
to be considered in investing money, as
veil as the rate of interest. And certainly
nothing is SO safe as real estate. Land
cannot burn up, OF run away. It cannot
be greatly affected by gambling in Wall
street, and it is almost impossible for a
thief whether cashier of bank or not, to
steal it. Ii is likely to increase steadily,
if not rapidly, in value, and "slow and
sure" is the best rule, for small investors,
at least. A man with millions at his com.
maud can afford to invest in fancy stocks,
and run the risk Of either making other
millions or losing the whole The man with
few hundreds better patronize the savings
banks till his capital is large enough to al
low him to purchase real estate, and then
he cannot do better than buy land near
some thriving village or city. Many hold
ers Of railroad bonds are already thinking
of selling them for what they can get, and
putting the money into real estate; and
the real estate market in every thriving
place is likely to be good deal more live.

during the past year.

The affairs of Messrs. Jay Cooke &
Co. have been placed in process Of settle
ment aud in such way as to command the
confidence Of the great body of creditors.
The members Of the firm have surrendered
all their personal property, and dividends
will be declared as soon as the assets Of the
house eau be got in. Hon. Il. A. Rollins,
late Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, has
been appointed trustee, aud committee OF
wellknown business men will act with him.
1t is impossible tn doubt that it will be to
the interest of creditors to aid in carrying
out this plan, for it will give them their
money much sooner than they could posi-
bly, obtain it we're they to throw the estate
into bankruptcy. The Philadelphia In
quirer truly says that the plan "seems to
he the common sense method, and indeed
the only practicable means of avoiding
costly and tedious litigation, vexatious de-
lays, and partial sacrifice Of the assets, to
the injury of all concerned. To wind up
such vast estate under the rigid rules of
the bankrupt court, or even 10y the admin
istration of a voluntary assignee under State
laws, would necessarily sacrifice a large pro-
portion Of the real value of the property
out of which creditors are to be paid. The
interests of both creditors and debtors re-.
quire that the estate be managed and closed
up with prudence, economy and business
foresight, and this can only be assured by
an arrangement similar to that proposed"

The United States Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections is about to
meet in New York city to consider the
method of choosing the President and Vice
President. There is no doubt that the Flee
toral College has become an unnecessary
and dangerous piece of machinery. The
theory upon which it was established has
never been operative in practice, and this
fact would in itself be sufficient reason
for its abrogation We all know that the
electors do not and never have in fact
chosen the President. Yet they have the
right under the law to do it. The dangers
to be unprecedented from an institution vested
with powers almost as indefinite as they
are vital, should secure for the Electoral
College some substitute which will be safer
aud more in harmony with the spirit of our
institutions. Senator Morton who is Chair.
man of the Committee about to begin the
consideration of this subject, has given it
much thought, and has, Of course. reached
the conclusion that the Electoral College
should be abolished. Popular opinion de.
mands that the people shall vote directly
for President and Vice President, but the
precise manner in which they shall do SO is
yet matter for discussion. The Commit
tee should consider all the suggestions
which have been made in order that they
may be prepared to report a constitutional
amendment which will meet with popular
favor.

More than twenty-five years ago GER
tain of the leading orthodox theologans
and divines in Europe formed themselves into
society, under the name of the Eyangeli.
cal Alliance, for tho purpose of joining to-
gether those holding the same fundamental
doctrines Of religious faith, of various
names and nationalities, and of uniting the
scattered and not always harmonious forces
of the Protestant world against intolerance
and persecution. This alliance has held
yearly meetings in various capitals in Eu-
rope. and this year, for the FIRST time on
this continent, are holding meeting in
New York. The delegates include estab-
lished churchmen, Presbyterians, Blptists,
Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutheraus, Re.
formers, Weseyans, Congregationalists and
Free Churchmen, and they come from Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Germany,
France, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Bel.
GUM, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Turkey,
Greece, Italy and India. They do not
come as representatives Of any particular
sect or nationality, aud their creed is
merely a compilation of the principal points
upon which the Protestant churches are
united Especial interest is taken 10
these meetings, and the attendance upon
the one now in session is very large. We
shall give resume of their proceedings
10 our next issue.

Political affairs in the City of Panama
still continue in disturbed and uncertain
condition. Some 800 men are kept under
arms, in consequence of the presence of a
large party of rebels ia the woods near the
city, which they threaten to attack. The
Captain of the United States steamer
Benicia, in the barbor, offered to disembark
$50 marines and sailors for the better pro.
toction of foreigners and the property Of
the railroad transit The Government
through the United States Consul, refused
to accept Captain Cary's offer, alleging that
it had force sufficient for all purpores. Iu
the meantime the city suffers nightly alarms,
business is at a stand still and no one can
tell when such au anomalous state Of affairs
will cease. The presence, however, Of the
Benicia and the Pensacola, the flagship Of
the Pacific squadron, which arrived on the
18th ult., gives sense of security in case
of trouble.

On Boiling.

Rev. James Freeman Clarke, whose ring
ing words created decided sensation at
the Worcester Convention, has written a
letter explaining his views on "bolting"

the ground that certain rapers have mis-.
represented him by saying that he justified
any mans refusal to support any candidate,
however good, who is not his especial favor.

believes If a man accepts the position Of

principles of the party, it is the delegates

the supposed necessity for party organiza-
ton, although the obligation to support any
candidate is not implied even in this But

it is not only the right but the absolute duty
Of the delegate to bolt the nominations Of

The 6nal act in the terrible tragedy
of the Modoc captives has been played,
aud, on Friday, Captain Jack, Schonchip,
Boston Charley, aud Black Jim paid with
their life the penalty Of their crimes
Barncho and Sioux, on full examination
of their case by the President, had their
punishment RENTED to Imprisonment for
life. All accounts agree that the victims
met their death with considerable fortitude,
but the lies each one told 10 endeayoring to
screen himself and lay the blame on to the
others, form striking contrast to the
course which George Washington would
probably have pursued under similar circum-
stances. They are bad lot anyway, and
the country is to be congratulated OH their

-Liouor has always flowed more free

remarkable temperance REVEALS in prog
ress there at present The Bishop of the
English church, at Montreal, is an earnest
advocate Of total abstinence, to the delight
Of many of his people and the disgust OF
some of his clergy. But quite as notable
as anything is the success Of a temperance
league among the employees Of the Grand
Trunk Railway, of which Superintendent
Spicer is the moving spirit. The Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the road heads
the list, and over fourteen hundred employees,
including one hundred and twenty-five en-.
gineers, have taken the pledge. Orders
have been issued by the officials of the road
to close the bars at all the rcfreshment
rooms along its line. During the war
liquor was responsible for more abortve
reconnoisances and disastrous defeats than
the world was permitted to know by official
reports or newspaper dispatches. And
more railroad accidents happen because
switch-tender or conductor has taken a
glass too much, than the travelling public
have generally been aware of.

Things Demonstrated.

Amid the financial disaster aud wide
spread ruin which has latterly prevailed SO
extensively in the money centres Of the
country, some redeeming reys Of light have
also been thrown in, revealing to the con-
sciousness Of thoughtful aud observant men
certain facts which reflect great credit upon
General Grants administration.
1t has been a standing charge against
President Grant that he has evinced q
constant and growing disposition to tran
sceud and disregard lalo in the exercise of
his powers as the Chief Executive that he
even aimed at the prerogatives Of Caesar.
The authors Of these calumnies should now
give the President the credit Of standing by
the law in resisting the Importantly Of the
New York bankers, backed by such an able
and influential Democratic legal adviser as
Reverdy } Johnson. This conduct on the part
of the Chief Magistrate certainly looks very
little like C@sarsm.
Again, the developments Of the present
crisis are teaching the important fact that
the record of the government service COM
pares most favorably with that Of private
business, in the matter Of defacalions, en-
bezzlements, breaches of trust, swinding
and general dishoue ty. Can it be justly
expected that tho government will be able
to secure greater immunity from loss by un.
faithful servants, than shrewdy managed
railways, banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, municipal corporations, or pri.
vate business houses The disclosures Of
the present crisis show that, taken alto
gether, the private and corporate business
houses and institutions of the country are
not so strictly and wisely conducted as are
tho financial affairs of the government.
The amount of losses sustained by the gov
eminent through the unfaithiulness and dis
honesty Of its servants is almost infnitessi-
nal when compared with the losses sus.
tanned by individuals and corporations from
the same cause. In fact, it is now known
that more money was lost on Wall street
during those three black Friday days, week
before last, than by the government during
he whole period since the Republicans
went into power 10 1862, even including
Andy Johnsons reckless and extrayagani
administration.

Despite the lateness Of the season, the
presence of cholera in the chief capitals Of
Continental Europe, in Vienna, Berlin and
Paris, and in the chief cities of Austria,
Germany and France, is causing great aux-
iety. Fears Of extensive rayoges are
freely expressed. 1t must be remembered
that the cholera, although chiefly favored
by warm weather, does not invariably re-.
treat before the frost, as does the yellow
fever. St. Petersburg has had its popula.
ton decimated by cholera in mid.winter
1t will be seen, then, that the anxiety ex-
pressed in Europe is not uufounded. Vienna
was the starting place of the cholera this
year, and its seeds were scattered through
Europe by the returning tides of EXPOSE
ton tourists. A strict quarantine at the
ports of the United States is necessary to
insure the safety of the country.

Another instance proving that justice
and law do not always mean the same thing,
is seen in the reversal by the New York
court of appeals of the judgment Of the
lower court, that theinjured and the friends
Of the killed we're entitled to damages from
the owners Of the steamer " Wcstfeld, +"
whose boilers blew up one Sunday, more
than two years ago, causing a disaster that
even now cannot be thought Of without
shudderiug. The want of jurisdiction is
the technical ground for the reversal, though
the defense did not rely on this point, but
pleaded FIRST that there could be no legal
contract on Sunday with their passengers,
and then that it was accident, and not care
lessuess, which occasioned the explosion.
They were worsted on both these points, but
have gained their case on a mere technical
ity, which has since been remedied by the
legislature. But further suits are now bar.
red, unfortunately, by the statute Of limita.
tons, and the company whose parsimony
caused the disaster is allowed to escape
without paying any penalty to an outraged
public.

The Lost POlaris,

The arrival Of the rescued Polaris crew
in New York has revived the excitement in
regard to the sad fate Of the commander of
the expedition, Capt. Hall. Mr.. Chester,
the first mate Of the Inflated ship, empbat-
ically declares that he met his death from
apoplexy, although from the very outset Of
the voyage dissensions among the crew and
officers had been the rule rather than the
exception. OF the valuable manuscripts
saved from the wreck Of the Polaris by the
Buddington party, nothing is definitely
stated, BUTT is believed that Mr. Smith, Of
Tessniasak, had the documents which be.
lopged to Capt. Hall and were more valua.
ble than the others left in the Polaris 1t
is said that Capt. Hall and DR.. Bcssels met
often at Smiths house, and on one occasion
very strong language was used. Shortly
after this Capt. Hall conlidcd to Smith four
boxes, some Of which referred to his re.
searches iuto the fate of Sir John Franklin.
In handing these over to Smith, Capt. Hall
expressed desire that none Of the notes
should be made public until the death Of
Lady Franklin, out Of regard to her feel.
ngs 1t is believed that Franklin's party
were driven to the awful extremity of eat.
ing one another TO sustain life. DR.. Bes-
sells says that, had no accident occurred to
the Polaris, the expedition would have been
prosecuted. A number of papers which
were brought home by the men rescued by
the Raveuscraig, have been deposited with
the AmeEican consul in Dundee. These
Include among others the last dispatch to
the government prepared by Capt. Hall,
and dated only within few days of his
death
When tho party reach Washington they
will remain on board the Tallapoosa, until
they have been subjected to a thorough ex.
animation in regard to the Polaris troubles
II is not supposed that Capt. Buddingtons
party have seen the testimony given by ;he
Tyson party, nor that they know anything
about it, except generally; and it is believed
to be better for all the purposes Of truth
that they should give their stories without
any knowledge of what the other witnesses
have said. They will not be examined in
the presence of each other
