MEETING OF JUDGES.

Public expectation is looking with
much interest to the meeting of Judges
and District Attorneys, which begins in
this city to-day. The pressof the State
have called attention to the very great
and to some extent unnecessary ex-
penses which are incurred in the pros
ecution of criminals. The State and
the counties pay their expenses, but
the State and the counties are but ag-
gregates of the people. 1t is the peo-
pie at last who foot the bin. We hope
that the officials who assemble here to-
day Will take this view of the subject,
and 60 to the work before them pa
tiently, industriously and with a pre-
determined resolve to accomplish some
good, or throw the responsibility of a
failure on other shoulders.

The New "NatiOnaI ROad.''
Mr.. Hurlbut's bill introduced in the
House to-day proposes the construction of a
double-track freight railway from New
York to Council Bluffs, which branches to
Chicago and st. Louis. The railway is to
be constructed aud operated by a corpora
ton under the auspices Of the General
Government, and controlled by board of
Government commissioners. The rates for
transportation of cereals are to be fixed at
) mills per ton per mile for any distance
over $50 miles, the entire length of the
road being fifteen hundred miles;for shorter
distances than $50 miles, the rates are to
be little more than 5 mills per ton per
mile. The road is to be operated eXclu-
Sively as a freight road for cereals stock and
other productions. Trains will move at
the quickest but most economical rate of
speed, which will be at least ten miles an
hour. The cost of the road is estimated at
one hundred and seventy-fiye million dol
lars, including the necessary rolling stock.
The Government aid suggested is guaran-
tee of > per cent. interest on thirty million
bonds. The capacity Of the road will be
10000 tons day each way. The COM
miSsionerS are to fix the various rates of
transportation and make suitable provision
for the care and safety of the freight car
ried. When the road shall earn beyond
what is necessary for the payment of in
terest on the capital stock and eight per
cent dividend, the rates of freight originally
established are TO be reduced.

THE LOUISIANA QUESTION.

From the New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 8.
There was much excitement in the
crowd of daily and nightly gatherers
around the Mechanics Institute yester-
day, produced by recent kilograms
from Washington to the effect that the
chances of a new election for State Off
GERS in Louisiana would be ordered by
Congress had become so strong that the
party had better prepare for such an
event; that the pressure was too great
to resist. and the Radical Congress
would no longer carry the burden Of
infamy heaped ON them by their party
IN Louisiana.
A great futtering was produced by
this intelligence. Programmes were
Immediately prepared for a new organ
ization, and candidates for the vari-
Gus Offices were proposed and dis
cussed.
Similar news having been trans mitted
to Gov. McEnery. that gentlemen tele-
graphed promptly to Senator Carpenter,
that he and his friends would cheerfully
acquiese In such q solution of the Lou
isiana case, only asking an honest re-
gistration and election, under the su-
pervision of responsible officers, and
surrendering all personal claims and
aspirations in order to secure for the
State an honest and legal government,
whose authority would be acquiesced in
by al parties and citizens. This Is the
true spirit for our people. Without re-
gard to previous distinctions among
men or parties, all that our people de-
sire and demand is a government COM
posed of men of unquestioned honesty,
of average intelligence and capacity,
and who are the choice Of the majority
of the legal voters Of the State.
This is all that our people ask.

a Formidable Miners Strike that
May Last Several Months.

POTTsvILLE, PA, Jan. 12.-Dispatches
received here to-day from districts in
Schuylkill region represent that at the
meetings of miners all had decided to
strike, demanding a minimum basis Of
$3.50 on contract work, and $50 for day
work, and, in some cases, demanding higher
rates. The men are very determined, the
question having been thoroughly discussed,
and they are better prepared for strike
than ever before.
There is much difference of opinion
among leading coal operators as to how
long the strike will continue, and what
length Of time the men will be able to
stand out, many believing it will continue
till the middle of April or the 1st of May.
Some think a compromise may be effected
by the 18th Of this month, the time given
TO accept the proposition.
