The Farmers Convention at Springfield, IL
lnois, Yesterday, to fight the railroads, was
certainly a spirited and significant demonstra-
ton. The delegates evinced more than usual
tact and straightforwardness, proceeding di-
rectly to the consideration of the business
in hand. They propose to deal with
the railway managers-not with go-betweens
and agents. Gov. Palmer seems to have
struck the keynote of the Convention in his
remark that this is struggle between the
railway managers and the people who make
railways and are taxed for their support

The Bengali drama has lately, for the first time,
obtained permanent theater in Calcutta. Nearly
all the native plays said to picture the un-
pleasant effects of polygamy and the re-marrage OF
widows In some of them the matrons Of the Ben
gall village are shown to be ingenious and PAINS
taking in settling their daughters in life as the
matrons of civilized drawing-rooms. 1t is an en-
couraone sign that all the new native dramas have
TO do with the popular dissatisfaction with the
ancient domestic institutions of native society.

1t would be very unfeeling, probably, for
anybody to object to the present migration of
Government officials from Washington. We
have been told, over and over again, that
Summer weather is frightfully unwholesome
in Washington. This year the Summer has
set in unusually early, and the President and
most of the members of his Cabinet have in
centinently Aed. Gallant Secretary Robson
stays by the ship. The rest of the Govern
ment is looking after its health.

The Nord- Deutsche Zeitung makes an effort
to escape from the disgrace of retracting its
own words in regard to the Presidents Mes
sage, which it severely criticised when de-
livered, by pretending that the text of the
Message differs from the abstract upon which
its remarks were founded. 1t would be better
if the official paper would take its Gaming
from the drill-sergeant in silence. It's criticism
was well enough. The Message was certainly
highly humorous effort and honestly achieved
the laughter of the world. The abstract sent
from this country and printed in Europe did
the document full justice, though of course
emitting some of its most successful flashes
of merriment But as it did not suit the
Foreign Office that an official paper should
laugh at a friendly potentate, the Zeitung is
forced to withdraw its wit on the lame excuse
of an incorrect transmission of the substance
of the Message.

The Erie Investigating Committee have re-
considered their determination to return to
Albany That is manifestly an incomplete in
vestigation which fails to include the testi-
mony of that eminent and expensive jurist,
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Tweed. Until he can be made
to throw some light upon transactions by
which he gained very fat fee and his first
reputation as an expert in illegal services"
the whole story is not told. This modest
counselor-at-law, however, is in hiding. No
subpoena has yet dragged him out to the gay
beams of garish day. But a statement sub
mitted yesterday shows that the Erie Rail-
way Company paid over S1,8OO,OOO for legal
services during 1868. There is qualification,
however, that this was for Legitimate and
otherwise" expenses. Probably the $1,000
charged as paid to Mr.. S. j. Tilden was
otherwise" Certainly, Mr. Tilden never got
the money.

The Franking BIZ.

A Washington special Of the 9th
says: The bill abolishing the Frank
ing privilege, pure and simple, not
only as used by Members, Senators,
Bureau Officers and Cabinet Officers,
but by the President himself, has at
least passed both Houses and now
only awaits the signature of the
President, which 1t will receive to-
morroE, to become a law. The bill
passed in the Senate to the great as
tOnishment Of all, taking the House
at its word. Upon two occasions,
within as many years, has the latter
body passed a similar bill, feeling
confident that th lie Senate, being less
a body of demagt)gues, would fail to
agree to it. Tie latter, however,
amended the las bill of the House,
and made it sim ply bill of absolute
repeal and moth ing else. The Senate
did not think the House had the
courage to pass it, but Gen. Farms
worth, the Chairman of the Postoffice
Committee, helCI the House to their
word, and comp elled the members to
stand in their ira cks, and not retreat.
In vain was he appealed to for amend
ments. He refus ed all, and passed
the bill by the extraordinary vote of
142 to as.
One of the first fruits of the repeal
of the franking privilege was the re-
peal of a $4,000 appropriation for
extra CLERK hire. A resolution was
also intro duced to reduce the cleri-
cal force in the Department. And
this will doubtless be followed by

ELECTORAL VOTE ron PRFsIDEN1


The jury in the Tweed trial, stood
eight for acqnittal, three fer conYic-
ton and one blank. The New York
EUeniRg Post considers the result of
the trial a disgrace to the city, and
a defeat of law, and says the proof
is ample that the jury were bought
by Tweed. A singular circumstance
is that every juryman took an oath
not to disclose what transpired in
the jury room. The Post says:
"That there was trIckery in the
verdict is evident, from the fact that
as soon as the jury retired, it was
proposed by one of them to take an
oath that nothing should be dis
closed as to their proceedings in the
jury room. The rogues anticipated
the condemnation of The public, and
tried to hide themselves from it IN
der the mantle of secrecy. But did
they all agree to that remarkable
oath? and if not, those who did
not, are not bound by it, and We call
upon them to state how the mem
bers were divided, that we may see
who it was that so shamelessly dis
regarded truth and Justice in the
decision"

The Developments on Monday
in the Louisiana investigation case
before the Senste Committee, DIS
closed a most deliberate and cold
blooded system of frauds as prac-
ticed by both parties in that State.
From the testimony it appears that
such thing as a fair election must
be unknown in Louisiana, and the
question after each poll is, which
party has succeeded in cheating the
hardest, Both parties did their
worst at the last election; and it be-
ing impossible to decide which side
cheated the most, the Senate should
give up trying to make anything
out of the muddle, and Congress
refer the whole business back to the
people to try agaiu.

We ARE occasionally asked "Haye
you any opinion on the Credit
Mobilier metter?" by persons who
chuckle over the blemish attempted
to be thrown over such men as Will
son, Colfax, Garfield and others.
Well, yes; we have. We think it
palpable that rogue, such as Oakes
Ames has proven himself to be by
his varigated testimony, is not en-
titled TO belief, if he should ever tell
the truth, for his statement would
have to be endorsed by man of
known veracity before it would be en-
titled to the slightest credence. He
has sworn on all sides ofall points, on
the top and bottom, and would vary
it backward if necessary. To think
of believing him against men whose
integrity is manifest and assured, is
triaing with a serious question.
Oakes Ames has suit on hand
which McComb has forced upon him
to oblige him to disgorge. Ames
has no intention of disgorging if he
can cheat McComb, no matter how
many he besmears with his foulness,
while from an invisible memorandum
book he concocts unblushing lies
against those he cannot hope to
stand beside. The Committee should
have that book. They owe it to
their dignity to compel its produc-
ton, and see if they can find on its
pages the marvellous memoranda
which have so many times changed
Ames' testimony.
Ames and his little book were to
have put in an appearance at Wash
ington, before the Committee, on
Tuesday, but Ames failed to come
to time, and the book was non est.
The Committee was obliged to wait
wait while, perhaps, Ames manu-
factnres some other mysterious sto-
ry to sully the fair fame of others
who have been so unfortunate as to
have had any business transaction
with him, however innocent in itself.
Our opinion is that Ames 'plant-
ed" the proceeds Of his operations
in his own pockets, and means that
McCOmb shall have severe time
the proceeds thence, and
that that was the extent of the
planting"

other material reductions in expen-
ses. The issue of public documents
will no doubt be curtailed, and only
those of real public Importance be
ordered printed. 1t will no longer
be an object to Congressman to have
them published, when to send them
to their constituents will cost more
than the trouble of franking. No
better plan could have been adopted
to strike at the prOmiscuous pubAea-
tion of public documents, than the
repeal of the franking privilege, and
the country will regard it more IA
vorably on that account.
