A PENNSYLVANIA Law permits O
man to prohibit his wife from receiving
visits from her mother and other relatives.
The law is unjust, of course, and quite as
ridiculous as the proposition introduced in
the New York legislature last winter to
make husbands refusal to entertain his
wife's relatives and friends cause for di-
vorce. But such law as the one referred
to in Massachusetts, would have been a
great blessing to at least one family.
A man in that state murdered his wife,
and was recently sentenced to be hanged.
Wendell Phillips has appeared before
the governor in his behalf, and offers
very good reasons for Communication Of
his sentence. 1t seems the poor fellow
had been terribly prosecuted by his
mother-in-law, and in his desperation had
killed his wife and tried to kill himself.
Had the Pennsylvania enactment been in
existence in the Bay state, he would
have escaped all difficulty. The safest
way is to let this domestic institution
regulate itself. Married people that can't
keep from fighting over their respective
family relations had better separate and
not fight it out any longer on that line.
ANY domestic quarrel but that.

..Ouausoue Cata,,na.w

If not in close alliance and moving in con-
cert we must beg to say that in the result, to
us, there $ no essential difference between the
Ragland movement and the Sutherln bill both
IN folve NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and perpetual, 70
all the long cherished hopes of Virginia to build
mp her own cities, prosper her own fortunes, ad-
vance her own wealth. We cannot hearken to
the piteous cries for help from foed spectators,
or givea willing ear to the syren songs OF those
who would hand over the best interests of the
State into the hands of those who, in their thirst
for gain, would sacrifice all that Virglnians hold
dear.-Whiq.
The "patience" of The Wing, like that
of Cicero in his federation of Catiline, is
past all endurance, as is its Latinity when
it becomes excessively classic. We have
some recollection of reading, in our boy
hood days, that magnificent philippe of the
great Roman orator, in which he thunders
his denunciations on the head of the arch
conspirator against bis coun try's liberties,
but we must confess to an utter oblivious
ness ofthe parsonage alluded to by theWhig,
and doubt if any such ever existed
in history. At all events, it is
"abusing our patience" to see Catiline spelt
with three first letters of the alphabet,
almost as much as it would to hear Cicero
pronounced as if it had two KS and not an
identical C in its photography. But we will
not be hypercritical over the classic crumbs
gracously flung to us from such feast of
Latinity as our neighbor occasionally
INDUCES in. We will be thankful to the
gods that we have SO much Latin and that
it isn't any worse.
But to compare the "Ragland movement
and the Sutherln bill" to the arch-con-
spiracy Of Catiline in Rome, is piling up
the agony beyond all human rhyme or
reason, if not beyond all endurance in Latin
quotation. The Wing says that both the
movement and the bill ''involve ruin-ruin
absolute and perpetual, to all the long
cherished hopes of Virginia" What is
meant by these "long cherished hopes" and
how long Virginia has INDUCED in them, is
only to be partially inferred from the
tenor of The Whig's Incompatible article.
Ifshe wants to deny to. others the right of
building railroads in the State in order to
monopolize that exclusive right herself, and
in her own interests, and if that has
been her ''long cherished hope"
it strikes US it is about time she set about
building them. Her utter inability to
build her own roads, and the utter folly
of attempting it if she had the ability,
are two propositions that The Wing itself
will hardly controvert. The whole mighty
fabric of this alarming question, then,
turns on the quality of its "syren SONGS"
as sung by Mr.. Ragland and Mr.. Robin
son. The thing isn't conspiracy at
all, but a temptation-the "syren song"
of Mr.. Ragland being infinitely the most
dangerous of the two, since its marvel
lousy enchanting quality would lure The
State on to destruction in half the time
that Robinson's song would. That's
about it.

Credit Mobilior Inyest.catiop.

We have already indicated our belief
that this investigation has degenerated into
an effort to crafty mere personal enmity
and pique on the part of a few would-be
controlling politicians of the country. The
past career Of Judge Kelley, of Pennsylya-
MIA, is sufficient evidence and ought to be
satisfactory guarantee of his integrity and
veracity; so that whatever Mr.. Ames may
charge or the newspapers insinuate, the con-
fidence of the constituency that he has
represented so long and honorably will not
be shaken. None of the members who
have been accused of accepting Ames'
offers, except, possibly, Mr.. Dawes, have
been more completely exculpa.ed than the
Pennsylvania representative. He has
from the first displayed the greatest
anxiety to have the whole truth known,
and fairly cornered the Credit Mobiler
agent when he demanded that whatever
property he had as belonging to him Mr..
Kelley should be turned over to Mr.. Po-
land for future disposition. Ames' origi-
nal testimony as regards Mr.. Kelley may
be reproduced with propriety in this con-
nection
In his testimony before the committee, Mr..
Ames said: "He (Kelley) never took the stock;
he regards the stock as belonging
to men
When in crossexamination this question was
put to him: ''In reference to this transaction
with Mr. Kelley, you said that there was some
talk between you and mr.. Kelley, and you re-
commended him to take some stock2" A. Yes,

not.

has taken the stock, and nerer has had any div

Tho FARMERS, Council.

The movement for permanent and
general organization of the farmers Of Yir-
ginia, which found partial expression in the
Petersburg convention, is one of profound
Importance to our State. Agriculture is as
yet the only branch Of industry which has
obtained any considerable development.
The masses of our people live by farming.
The wealth of the State is in its farms and
their products. The great burden of its
taxes falls on the tillers of the soil. Their
prosperity is the prosperity of the COM
monwealth. Their adversely is its ruin.
Yet the farmers of this State, as such, are
almost totally ignored in legislation.
Their interests are overslaughed by the
claims of corporations and the professions,
and everybody is served at the feast before
the farmer. This monstrous assumption
of the superiority of other classes is we'll
illustrated in the recent action of the Com
mittee on Roads, to whom the general
railroad law was referred. That commit
tee invited an expression of the views from
the various railroad presidents.
The response was made, and was, as
might have been expected, large.minded
and far-seeing officers, looking to ultimate
rather than immediate results, favored the
law. Those whose minds were less far
reaching, and who aimed at tenn
porary and immediate success, opposed
the law.
But no question was asked of the
hundred thousand farmers of Virointe
whom this law so vitality concerned, and to
guard whose rights and to advance
whose interests it was framed as well
as for the railroads already built
or to be constructed under it. The action
of this committee was in keeping with that
immemorial usage which ignores the indus
trial classes of the nation and arrogates to
professional men, and especially to laaoyers,
the whole business of legislation. Let
every farmer realize that transportation is
a most vital element in the value of his
farm and its products. The farmers of the
West long ago found that with all their SUI
perlative advantages and unbroken expanses
OF fertile soil unobstructed by stumps and
stones, they were dependent upon trans
portatlon for even lipiag profits. They
combined as ono man to obtain n
just consideration of their interests
IN legislation. They have succeeded in
large measure, and their example should
be followed in our own State. We have
no sympathy with caste, or prejudice
against any class of our fellow citizens.

PRESIDENT MCCosH, of Princeton
College, in communication to the New
York Evening Post, discusses the question
of compulsory or obligatory attendance at
college Rotations. He controverts the
statement that European colleges are ADAM
doning the method of obliging the daily
attendance of students at Rotations, and
argues that right-thinking young men will
rejoice that they are not left to their own
impulses in matter of so much moment,
DIR. McCosh, who is one of the most dis
tinguished if not successful educators in the
country, sums up the question thus:
A system of instruction depend ing on compe.

IT is stated that active operations
against the victorious Modocs are suspen-
ded until the arrival of reinforcements,
which are delayed by bad roads. In the
meantime the disaster has not been without
its effect upon those Indians heretofore
friendly, and many of them are suspicious
ly missing. Much trepidation is also felt
in the settlements Whereabouts, the people
living in constant anticipation of savage In
