THE retirement of Secretary Rich
ardson from the Cabinet has been
repeatedly prognosticated but until
recently these reports have been I'M
founded. The Sanborn investiga-
ZION seems, however, to have
brought to light some ugly facts i'm
plicating the Secretary in various
Irregularities. His early retirement
in consequence of these develop
ments seems now to be a foregone
conclusion.
And now 1t is currently reported
that the retiring Secretary is to be
rendered q judicial position in the
u. s. Court of Claims; or a mission
to some foreign country. If this is
really the programme, we must
characterize it as an outrage upon
common sense.
HMr. Richardson has made him
self impossible as Secretary of the
Treasury by corrupt jobbery, would
he be o fit man to sit upon the
bench, or to represent this country
abroad? Is there any good reason
why q dishonest cabinet officer
should be retired on a pension any
more than a dishonest Treasury
Clerk?

AT THE BRIDAL.

Wide stood the doors, that morning,
OF the somber and ancient church,
AMI gsy1y The yellow sunshine
Streamed in on its seldom search
streamed over the rusting satin,
Over Jewel and waving plume,
Over smiling and confident gallants,
Over women all beauty and bloom,
And I paused to look at the geant
In thssmidst Of the sRimmer and str,
And to hear the priest murmur: FoTsaktng
All others, clezve only To her.
Fair tvinkled the taper set altar,
And sweet blew the organs breath,
While the lover bent and repeated
To love and TO cherish till death.
The light from the great rose window
Came splsndidly sitting down;
On her lace there rose q glcry,
And over her hair a CROWN
And / knew by the awful passion
With which he stood white and wan
That he CA his b art before her
For her feet TO tread upon,
But the bride was softly smiling,
Lovesome and bright and fsiI-
He was bu tn riIg on her finger,
He was but the rose in Ser hair.
And I would there had been a glamour
Over my eyes, and q blur,
At that eager vow Of Torsaking
ALI Others, and c'eaving 70 her;
For out Of the piIsred shadow
1 saw beside me start
A wild eyed girl with her baby
Claspcd over her breaking heart,
And down from the porch go d wing
The wreck OF a rapture unbles ed
With only the river before her,
With only the river for rest

The Secretary of New Mexico re-
ports that the territory has .'made a

not q law, or some means by which
the attendance Of children could be
enforced. Taking the usual per
centage of children relative to the
aggregate population, and there are
1919 children of New Mexico of |
school age. Deduct the number re-
ported attending both thepublic and
private schools, and we find still in
the Territory, 1894 children absen-
tees, in most cases doubtless without
the opportunity of attending school.

The intelligent masses of Ameri-
ca know but very little more about
the telegraph than the untutorsd
savage, who ascribes its mysterious
workings to a spirit. Even the sage
law makers of the nation possess
but very crude conceptions touching
this space annihilating messenger.
They know that the telegraph has
been an indispensable adjunct of
modern civilization. They know
that it regulates the worlds COM
merce, and brings the nations of the
earth into more intimate relations
with each other. They do not COM
prehend, however, that the practi-
cal benefits of this greatest inven-
ton of the nineteenth century, have
been confined within comparatively
narrow limits in this country, by
the monopolists who control
the system. They do not seem
to know that the aid
extended by one of these mo-
opOlies to the slaveholder''
rebellion was or more prac'
teal value to the confederate
than could have been an army o
one hundred thousand men. Hao
the Telegraph been under the direc
control of the Government in 1851
the rebellion would have been CON
paritively short lived. One of tn
strongest arguments in favo
of Postal Telegraphy has beer
furnished by the Arkansas rebellion
|. Almost the very first step taken %
/ the belligerent Baxter was the seiz
ure of the telegraph Office at Littl
Rock. He placed an embargo upol
teIegraphic communication ant
I prevented the transmission OF al
messages tending to weaken hi
cause. Now if the telegraph ha'
r been in the hands of the Govern
ment, would this usurper hav
dared to tamper with it?
, Why did not BaBter take posses
sion of the postOfice? He kneN
well that such an attempt woul

forces, and that was just what b
anxiously sought to avoid.

SENATOR EDMUND's bill for the
appointment of Commissioner to
investigate Postal Telegraphy, is
evidently a flank movement of the
Telegraph monopolists to shelve all
the other propositions now pend
ing before Congress for the estab-
lishment Of q Postal Telegraph.
America justly prides herself as
being the birthplace of Electric Tel
sgraphy, but the masses of the
American people know less to-day
about the practical working OF the

THE Kansas and Missouri papers
are still bowling about the outra-
geous discrimination by the Union
Pacific Railroad in refusing to
prorate with the Kansas Pacific
upon freight and passengers trans
ferred at Cheyenne.
In justification of their course, the
Union Pacific have placed documen-
tary statements before Congress,
which cover the following points:
LIST. The Union Pacific has always
been ready, and is now ready, to
make rates which shall not dis
criminate against the Kansas Pacific,
but 1t cannot prorate mile for mile
on the basis Of its lowest through
rates from Omaha to Ogden because
Of mountain grades and curves on
the west half of its road and the
greater distance via Kansas Pacific.
ID, More than two-thirds of the
through rate from Omaha to Ogden
Is earned on the west half of the
Union Pacific; but ii has offered and
now offers to divide the through
rate with the Kansas Pacific on that
basis. That company refuses the
offer, and demands one-half of the
through rate, or a pro-rate mile for
mile which is more than half the
through rate.
Sd. The law, if applicable at all in
favor Of the Kansas Pacific, (Which
the Union Pacific denies,) simply
declares the rule Of non-discrimina-
ton. One-half the through rate or
pro-rata mile for mile would be
gross discrimination against the
Union Pacific.
The government loaned on the
west half three tines the subsidy !
the east half, on account of in
creased cost of construction over the
Rocky Mountains. The west half
cost three times as much in con-
and costs more thon twice
- much In operation as the east
hall.
