THE National Board of Trade deserves credit
for the active efforts 1t is making for the adop-
ton of specific tracks to be followed by ocean
steamers in making the passage Of the North
Atlantic. The recent appalling disasters that
have occurred from collisions should be by
some means prevented. The plying steamers
have now become 90 numerous that there is
constant danger of collisions. The PROPOSE
ton of the New York Chamber Of Commerce,
adopted by the Board of Trade yesterday, petit
lions Congress to provide for an international
commission to consider the subject and de-
termine longitudinal lines to be followed in the
eastern and western passages. This seems to
be practical suggestion, and one which will
command the attention Of Congress. Early
action upon the matter is very desirable.
Nautical and scientific men from France, Ger
many, England and the United States might
easily and speedily form schedule of sailing
regulations that would go far toward pre-
venting the recurrence of such disasters Is that
of the VILE du Havre. ~

SOME of the New York and Boston importing
merchants dislike being watched BY Govern
ment detectives, as though they were not men
of honor. This is natural. Honest men are
very apt to think all other men as honest Us
themselves. But experience proves that very
many rogues get into the importing trade, and
into the whisky and tobacco and other manu-
featuring lines, where the temptation to defraud
the revenue is irresistible. Their cupidity can
not Withstand the temptation. Upon the sup
position that it does not hurt an honest man to
be watched, is It not well for such to bottle up
their constituencies and permit the Government
to detect and punish the dishonest onesf Bust
ness men must certainly be aware of the fact
that all the money of which the Treasury is
defrauded by rogues tends to enable them to
undersen honest merchants or decrease their
profits. In this view 1t appears that all mer-
chants of probity and honor should, from mo-
tives of selfintcrest, encourage and assist the
Government in the detection and prevention OF
frauds VIII the National Board of Trade
please to make o note of thisa

HOMICIDE OF A NEGRO.

On Thursday last, about sundown, near the
residence of James B. Stephenson, in the
southwestern part of this county, on the pub
lie road leading from Olivet church to San
dersville, negro known as John Sanders,
alias John Robertson, was shot in the abdo-
men, from the effects of which wound he died
next day. Sanders, previous to his death,
stated that he had been shot by man riding
baze-face horse.
On Sunday and Monday an inquest was
held by Trial Justice w. B. Williams, acting
as coroner, and from the evidence taken, the
fact is circumstantially established that the
fatal shot was fired by Walker Smith, son
of Garland H. Smith. of Chester county.
Sanders, in his dying declaration, stated that
he did not know the man who shot him, and
that no words passed between him and the
man who did the shooting. At the time of
the occurrence, it is alleged that Smith was
laboring under an attack of delirium tren.ens.
The following is the substance of the verdict
of the coroner's jury:
"That John Sanders came to his death
about o'clock on Friday, the 10th day of
April, 1874, at the house of James B. Ste
phenson, his death being caused by wound

Liquor Traffic.
- The consumption ofintoxicating liquors
in all sections of the Union seems to have be-
come an evil of such magnitude as to demand
more stringent legislation by the different
States, aud even to attract the attention of
Congress. As will be seen by reference to
the fourth page Of this number of the ENQU1R-
Err the recent legislature Of this State passed
an important act regulating the sale of intox-
icating liquors and amending previous laws
in relation thereto, which, if it does not check
the consumption of liquor, may, it is hoped,
lessen the evils resulting therefrom.
North Carolina, besides having law to
prevent the sale of adulterated liquors, has
also local option law. Of which the anti-li-
quor people are beginning to avail themselves.
An election by the voters of each township
can determine whether or not liquor shall be
sold in the township. Mississippi has even
gone further, and passed bill, which the
Governor Immediately signed, requiring
majority Of males over twenty-one and females
over eighteen in the city, town, or township, to
sign petition for license to sell liquor be-
fore such license shall be issued.

Western and Southern States over the New
England monopolists
In the House, large number of bills were
introduced. A bill relieving Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee of his political disabilities was passed.
In the Senate, on the 7th, the committee
on finance was discharged from the further
consideration of number of bills and petit
tions upon the subject of banking and cur
rency, the action cf the Senate on the day
previous having covered all the legislation
they referred to. Mr.. Morrill, reported ad-
versely the bill to provide for free banking
and specie resumption. In the House, bill
to revise and codify the laws authorizing
post-office routes in 1873, was reported and
passed. The consideration of the currency
question was resumed and debated until adj
journment.
In the Senate, on the 9th, bill was pre-
sented and referred, providing for the relief
of the colored people in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indian nations also bill incor-
porating a new ocean telegraph company
between the continents of Europe, America
and Asia. The proceedings of the House
were unimportant.
In the Senate, on the 10th, joint resou-
ton of the California legislature favoring a
law to reduce charges for telegraphic MESA
ges, so as to pay only fair profit on working
expenses, was presented and referred. The
bill for the incorporation and regulation OF
railroad companies in the territories of the
United States was taken up, and number
of amendments, designed to perfect the bill,
adopted. In the House, various amendments
were made to the currency bill, when the
consideration of the whole was postponed
until the 14th with the view of taking up the
Senate bill on the same subject.
In the Senate, on the 10th, on a report
made by Mr.. Anthony, from the committee
on printing, discussion arose in regard to
the franking privilege, which plainly indica-
ted that majority of the members would
favor restoration of the franking laws. The
subject was discussed until the expiration of
the morning hour. Mr.. Morton introduced
bill providing that prepayment of postage
shall not be required on public documents,
but that the postage may be paid at the place
where such documents are received. Refer
red to the committee on post-ofices. The
bill to provide for the incorporation of the
railroad companies of the United States was
debated at length, and number of amend
ments adopted, but no final action had. The
House was engaged on the currency bill.
On the 18th, the Senate was not in session.
The currency question occupied the attention
of the House during the greater part of the
day.
