The National Grange on Railroads.

-
Grand Master Adams In his address
before tho National Grange atSt. Louis,
q portion Of which has already been
transmitted by telegraph, treated the
railroad problem after the following
manner. Mr.. Adams says:
Ineed not here repeat what the dis
cusslons OF the last two years have de-
veloped concerning tho rascalltios Of
watered stock, construction companies
buying legislators In State and nation,
and Credit MObilier. These have been
exposed till We fully understand them.
What shall be the remedy? Where
lies the difficulty? For even In u
own ranks there Is q battle Of opinion.
Some advocate new routes East, sub
sldized by Government, either rail or
canal. Others would havo new roads
made by private enterprise and trust
to competition. The first o! these would
require many years before they could
afford tho relief which we want now,
and besides, would surely develop Into
other Credit Mobiliers. Tho second
would only add one more link to the
chain which now blinds Us hand and
foot. see no solution Of this question
but for Congress to avail itself Of Its
constitutional right to regulate COM
merce between the States, and for the
States themselves to regulate the tariff
within their own boundaries. That tho
right Is vested In the Government Of the
State and nation seems wholly clear.
When a railroad Is to DO built tho line
of which crosses my private property,
do not wish to have the property mu.
tilatcd. | frankly so inform the rall.
road. Government now steps In aud
very properly says: "This railroad
Is for the development OF the St.te, aud
Is on tho ground that the public good
demands its construction, you must
sell them your right OF way, and We
will allow you q reasonable compcnsa-
ton therefor" Now, 1t seems clear to
me that the same Government which
can take my land for the public good
aud fix u price therefor. can say to this
railroad: "The public good demands
that you carry frcights aud persons Mt
reasonable rates, which you hencciorth
must do. aud we will decide what those
rates shall be-" As well as any one, l
fully appreciate the dlillcultieswhich lie
In the way Of a tariff fixed By law. |
a easily see where II may sometimes
work hardship, and even actual wrong;
but IL is amazlng-lt seems TO me pre-.
posterous-that dlsintercsted men are
not as competent as those interested to
Tx rates which shall DO just to the rail-
roads and the people.

Quite n sensation was created, n few
days ago. In the vicinity Of Evansville,
Wisconsin, by the announcement that
n mine Of hard coal, equal to the Lack
awanna coal OF Pennsylvania, had
been discovered by some men while
sinking a we'll. The report OF the dis
covcry, says a correspondent OF the
Chicago Journal. spread like the wind,
and although ON were suspicious.
yet the many were disposed to believe
It. Finally, the parties In interest"
went to Chicago, and with their plaus-
ible representations and the display Of
specimens Of tho hard coal, induced a
w%ell-Lnown coal maa to engage a pro-
fe%sslonal geoloslst to 80 up and look
into the matter. Great was the ex-
element In Alton, Jancsvillc, Beloit,
Manitowoc and other towns when thls
was learned, and crowds went to see
the wonder. The Chicago coal.king
and the geolosist arrived, went to
work with the Q In charge Of the
drilling shan, and kept on working
all day. Hard coal was pumped up
out Of the shah, first In dust. then In
small pieces, aud finally In big Jumps
and the big Jumps were what spoiled
the game. The Jumps were too biz
Tor n drill to produce and the more
the coal.klng aud the geologist, who
had been very incredulouS from the
start, "smolled around" the more ap.
parent became the order OF n sell.
Finally, satisfied that l, was one OF the
biggest kind OF confidence games, they
pulled their hats v their eyes, aud
quietly left for home. And thus end
cd the first lesson.

SAN FRANCISCO vs.. THE coMsrocK.

There has been quite notlceably Of
late a decidedly apparent disposition
on the part OF certain San Francisco
papers and people to cry down tho
merits Of the mines and stocks Of this
sec,iou--a regular "bear" movement
which could have only the most d.
rcctly interested motives. The actual
condition Of the Comstock mines has
been wilfully, persistently and system
atically misrepresented, and false re-
ports industriously concocted and cir
culated. to affect tho stock market,
even In the face Of the most favorable
mining developments, until the thing
has become really exasperating. II
they do not like our mines, why can't
they let them alone aud mind their
own business? Nobody asks them to
invest II they do not wish to. We are
fully able to paddle our canoe without
outside assistance, and we do most de-
cidedly object to being lied about, hum.
plugged aud swindled, just for the ben-
eflt Of a lot OF bilge-watcr scented
stock sharps. We do not refer to the
honest press or tho honest brokering
fraternity Of that maritime city. but
to those who, right In tho face Of mil
lions OF dollars In silver and gold bull
lion we are constantly shipping. and
which they have the privilege OF see-
Ing and handling; the heavy dividends
We are monthly paying; the new
bodies OF ore we are developing and
the new mines We are opening - the
world ; still wiltully persist In work
ing against u interests, aud trying
to lnlurc US Tor their own pecuniary
benefit.
The opinion Il becoming more and
more prevalent every day, that san
Francisco Is getting a little too mr.
rogant and aggressive In trying to rule
our mines and the affairs OF this State
generally. A sort Of tacit courtesy or
general understanding has allowed
about all the offices OF our mining
companies TO DO established at San
Francisco; yet II all those offices aud
| officers were removed to this State. the
State and all interested here might be
the gamer. At any rate We are per-
fectly willing to try the experiment.
For all past favors VIC arc duly thank
full, but not for lying and wilful mis-
representation. Our mines show for
themselves and stand upon the basis Of
true, sound, productive and financial
merit. Give ~ a fair deal or let Us
alone.

larger proportion is charged with crime

From the highest to the lowest
State officer in the district, nearly all

them convicted OF one or more ofenses.

unRns Ann HIS CLERK.

J. j. Womack has brought suit at
Nashville against w. w. Hobbs, who
was Comptroller three months previous
to Mr.. Burch, and claims damages to
the amount Of $4,000. He charges that
Hobbs employed him as his chief clerk
with the implied contract that he was TO
serve for the full term Of two years. The
plaintiff further charges and states that
he abandoned HE law practice at Nc
Minnville, and removed his family to
Nashville at heavy expense, but THAT
the descendant, Hobbs, resigned his office
afterwards inspursuance Of contract
made before his election, and for a con-
sideration Of money, lands, etc., paid
and transferred. The resignation, he
charges, was part of the contract, and
is therefore illegal, and that Hobbs is
still the legal Comptroller. Plaintiff,
for his services, was to have had half the
profits Of the Office, in view Of the fact
that his friends assisted materially in
the election of Hobbs. The suit was
commenced last fall, but has been con-
tinued once or twice. Able lawyers are
retained on both sides, and some very
interesting developments may be ex-
pected. The case will be reached in
about week.

nornI ProposaIs Of Marriage.

Nicholas. the Emperor of Russia, won
his bride in a singular way, yet 1t had a
spice of gallantry in it. During visit
10 the King Of Prussia one day, while
al dinner, the Emperor rolled up ring
in piece Of bread, and handing 1t to
the Princess Royal, said to her IN sub
dued voice: IF you will accept my
hand, put this ring on your finger.
This is the imperial way of popping
the question" She took no time to de-
liberate, but suffered her heart to speak
the truth at once; and their happy nup-
tails were soon contaminated.
The royal way is illustrated by the
instance of Queen Victorias proposal
to the man Of her choice, and right
worthy one It was-Prince Albert. The
Prince had been out hunting early with
his brother that day, but returned at
twelve. end half an hour aiterward
obeyed the Queens summons to her
room. where he found her alone.
After few minutes conversation on
other subjects. the Queen told him why
she lad sent for him; and we cen well
understand any little hesitation and del
icacy she may have felt in doing so, Tor
the Queens position, making It impera-
tive that any proposal Of marriage
should come first from her, must neces'
sarilv appear painful one to those who,
deriving their ideas on this subject from
