POsTAL-CAH IaBROGLIO.

The New York World gives clear
and brief statement of What is meant
by the Postal-Car difficulty.
1t appears that the Post-office Depart
ment insists, and has procured the pas.
sage Of a law providing, that the railway
companies of the country shall receive
the same rates Of pay for carrying the
Madison fast trains in postal-cars costing
s5, 900 each as the public pays them fol
second-clsss freight on the Glow trains in
the ordinary freight car costing $500.
For the transportation of post-ofiice of
fcials in the postal-cars, which average:
an annual value Of sl2, 900 per line, the
Department proposes to pay nothing.
The companies are naturally disinclined
to favor any such one-sided arrangement,
and hence the trouble between the De
partment and companies.
The World proceeds to say, that fol
his own share in il, the Post-Master-G zen
eral ought to be ashamed that his De
partment is henceforth to receive full
pay for all its services, but the compa
MES are only to receive half pay for theil
work. No one is permitted to dead-head
Oh the Postmaster General, nor commit
the abuse of free-mailing. but the Post
Master General is to perpetuate thesC
wrongs upon others.

THE spEAKrxG LAST MON.
NAV

After tAs jack ard stallion exhibition,
on last Monday, the people were sum
moued by the courthouse bell to the cir
cult court room to hear the candidates
Cor the Legislature "air their vocabula-
~" Mr.. r. +. Bobbi,, first took the
stand and made quite aleugthy harangue.
The greater portion Of the time vas EN-.
ploycd In denouncing his opponent, Mr.
Hansford, for voting, as he alleged,
twice for jim. Bridgewater, once in 1865
and again in 1866. No other charge.
we're made against him either as gen.
tleman or Democrat. But Mr.. Bob
bitt considered this as the sum Of all vii.
liahics and descantcd loudly and longly
aud vociferously on the subject. His
speech evinced careful preparation, and
elected frequent applause.
Mr.. Hansford had, in the forenoon
upon consultation with a number Of his
friends, determined to withdraw from
the race. But as he had been fiercely
assaulted he considered it necessary 10
defend himself, and did 60 principally
by carrying the war into Africa. He
admitted that he had voted for Bridge.
water, and excused himself upon the
ground that he had not then become the
notorious outlaw he afterwards was, that
he had rendered ycoman service to the
Union cause during the war, that while
many charges were made against him,
which subsequently turned out TO be
true, yet at that time they were denied
by him, and not proven, and the air was
full of similar accusations against some
of the highest and best officers in both
armies, and finally that he had been and
still was Union man, although Dem
crat, and voted for him, not as Bridge
water, but as the exponent of the Union
party. He denounced the crimes which
2ridgewaier committed, and called his
old neighbors to witness that during the
whole war, he used all the influence
which his position, as a pronounced I'm
ion man, gave him for the protection and
assistance Of Southern men. He charged
Mr.. Bobbitt with official defalcations
while a justice of the peace, and with
obtaining subscriptions for the Conteder-
ale monument at Crab Orchard, putting
them in his own pocket and refusing to
disgorge. Altogether they each made it
quite lively for the other, and the crowd
enjoyed it and aIplauded it hugely.
Mr.. Hanssord, in concluding, an
nounced that he was no longer candi-
date, that Mr.. Burch had declined be-
coming so, and that DR.. T. d. Mont.
gomery would be.
DR.. Montgomery then arose, and in a
fluent, eloquent, logical and elaborate
address OF about three seconds, announc-
ed his willingness TO serve the people in
the next Legislature, if they desired it.
Then every body drew long breath and
dispersed.

CAPTAIN JACK, Of the Modes, has
fifty warriors. The Government has
about seven hundred soldiers, who are
attempting his capture or death. Jack
resists them in the effort to force him
from his lava.beds. Though about the
last Of Indian chiefs who have manifest
ed great intrepidity and daring, he is
none the less worthy Of the reputation
earned by his people for unlinching sto-
icism in the darkest hours of life.

THE railroads Of the State are destined
To go through an ordeal on the question
of taxation. The city of Newport has
just made futile attempt to tax the
Louisville, Cincinnati Il Lexington
Railroad Company for municipal pur-
poses. On the hearing Of the cause,
Chancellor Doniphan, on the authority
of an adjudication Of the Appellate
Court, held that railroads are not liable
TO city, town and county taxation; and
when subjected to taxation must be tax
cd as eniircty.

Gov. LESLIE has vetoed another bill,
which originated in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, entitled "An act to amend
the charter Of the South Kentucky Rail
road Company" The object of the bill,
in part, was to authorize any county city,
town or election precinct to subscribe to the
capitalstock of the company; to purchase
the bonds of the company. and TO issue to
the company in discharge of such bonds
so purchased, the bonds Of the city, town,
county or election precinct; provided
that the question shall be submitted to a
popular vote Of the qualified voters Of
the precinct. The Governor vetoes this
bill upon the ground, so frequently ex-
pressed by him since the beginning of
the present session of the Legislature,
that the Legislature, nor any other body,
sustained by majority Of the popular
can impose upon the minority a
tax for any such purpose. Our Govern
ment, he says, is not mere popular
Government, controlled in all matters
by the voice of majorities it is eonsti-
tutional Government, and the rights of
property are protected and secured as
well against mere majorities as against
the Government itself, except in the
proper exercising of the taxing power
or the right Of eminent domain. Rail
road companies are mere artificial per-
sons, created for private gain and emol-
ument, aud the Legislature has no great
er power to build up and sustain by tax
alton an utifeial person, than it has %
deal in the same manner with natural
persons.

EMBARRASSMENT OF THE SPRAGUEs.-
The rumor which got aAoat in the early
part of last week of the financial embar-
rassment of the Spragues of Rhode Island
proved to be we'll founded, and later devel-
opments showed that they could not go on
without outsifo aid. The first proposition
for their relief was that of loan 10 them
of a million dollars by the Providence
banks, and committee was appointed TO
examine into their affairs and decide wheth-
er such loan would be safe. The commit
tee reported the assets of the company to
be S19, 495, 240, and their liabilities 81, 475,-
443, leaving a surplus of SS,0l9,sOi but
they were OF the opinion that the proposed
loan of a million dollars would rot fully
relieve the firm, and after look ing the mat
ter carefully over they recommended that
they mortga e their entire property TO three
trustees who shall have the control and
management Of it, and these trustees are TO
issue notes Of an amount sufficient TO COW
or the Indebtedness of the firm, these notes
to run three years at $40 interest. This
proposition is now under consideration by
the creditors and in ase of its non-accept-
cuce bankruptcy is the only alternative for
this great and widespreading concern. The
suspension of their business would throw
1900 persons out of employment, and ii is
to be hoped that such disaster may by
some means be avoided.

and the cost is estimated at between four
and five millions. II is proposed to lay a
cast-iron six-inch pipe, in bee line be-
tween the points above named, which at
one locality oil its route will be 5000 feet
above the sea-level; forty miles of pipe
will be allowed for undulation, so that the
tube will, from end to end, measure fully
300 miles. Its contents will be $1,000 bar
rels of oil, and 1t is asserted that there
will be no more difficulty in insuring a
flow through the bore than there is the wa
ter mains of London or Chicago, both Of
which systems aggregate more than 800
miles in length. Between Titusville and
the summit, distance OF 40 miles, eight
pumping stations will be established, so as
to relieve undue strain on the pipe. Each
pump will have to raise the oil 900 feet.
Water by the Holly plan Of piston-pumps
is elevated TO this height and the friction of
eight miles (the space between statlons), is
overcome at the rate of million gallons
per "a hours, which is equivalent to $4,000
barrels of oil, fluid measure.
