The system of improvement recon.
mended to the senate By the cheap
transportation committee will cost the
government twenty millions Of dollars
year for six years. To raise this money
the committee suggest that the tax on
tea and coffee be restored, which will
yield twenty millions a year. That is,
in order to give the farmer n chance to
&c. his grain to market cheap half
dozen years hence, he will be asked to
forego the luxury of tea and coffee
within the half dozen years or.pay
double prices for them. The improve
mefts proposed are great but the
farmer, inpatient under the high
prices be is now compelled to pay to
( move-his products, will be very apt to
regard the great outlay to secure to
him cheap transportation in the future
as Of piece with the grinding monop.
olies Of the present.

THE friends Of the defeated curren-
cy bill in the senate announce their de-
termination to stay in Washington till
september if necessary, to legislate for
the relief of the people, and declare
that they expect popular reaction
by the people against the veto which
will give them the victory and compel
Grant to retreat from false position
They threaten as last resort TO tacb
the currency bill to regular appro
priation bill as the increase and back
pay bill was tackled to an appropria
ton bill at the close of the las
congress, The veto Of such bill
would call for an extra session of con

THE New York Herald publishes g
statement showing the gross amount Of
compe nsation 10 which each pension
agent IN the country WAS entitled for the
year ending June 80. 1878, including
the expenses OF clerk hire, Office rent,
postage, &c. The laws provide that
the agent shall receive o certain per
cen,ase on the sums disbursed, those
Disturbing s45o.eO0 receiving $4,000
which is the maximum compensation
from this source. 10 addition to this,
however, they receive a tee
OF thirty cents for each voucher
prepared. There are in all sixty agents
nearly all Of whom are in the Northern
States, and tie gross amount OF com.
peusation paid them is s47O,45o. The
sross amount Of pensions disburaed last
year was 29,1S5,2S9.
The agent at Boston, Massachusetts
received for compensation, Sle,0O'
which was the highest amount paid tt
any, the next highest being $lS,1O(
which was paid to the agent at Albany
New York. The pension agent q
Wheeling, West Virginia, received
$S,4CO. A tolerably fat place when i
is considered that the agent employs bu
one clerk and pays no office rent.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Commercial hiss interviewed Judge SAT-
lord, of Hillsboro. Ohio, who granted
the Injunction against the praying uo'
men OF that town, upon the application
of w. II. Dunn, the druggist. Judge
Stafford did not hesitate 20 declare that
he granted the Injunction because the
singing and praying were a public
nuisance. According 10 Judge Stafford,
DR.. Dunn has one Of the largest and
most costly drug stores In the State.
lie has never sold liquors to be drunk
upon the premises, or to minors
and drunkards, and his GALES
are in quantities greater or small
er, such as may be incidental
to his general business. The Judge
stated that there was no objection to
singing and prayer when they were
conducted so as not to disturb private
rights or public tranquility, and added !;
when such worship is made the
pretext OF breaking up Q mans lawful
trade; Of interfering with the quiet and
peaceful enjoy ment of his own property;
OF bringing him into public ridicule and
disgrace; Of defaming his calling and
character, and this without intermis-
sion for six consecutive weeks in the
storms and cold OF winter, creating
heartbarnings among neighbors, defa'
nation OF private character, and an
unsettled state Of society-that. sir, is q
nuisance"
The Judge might have added that
the man who gets $50 day for urging
women to do this kind Of business is .
greater nuisance still.

TIE Constitutional Convention In
Ohio has concluded. by a close vote. to
confer upon the Governor veto power
reversible by a two-thirds vote ofthe
Legislature. The section as adopted in
Committee OF the Whole embodied q
provision very similar 10 that upon the
same subject in the new Constitution OF
West Virginia. 1t amounted merely
to a grant OF power 10 the Governor to
order the reconsideration OF an OBJ
;ectiouable bill, the same vote
which was necessary for the passage Of
the bill in the first instance being sufti'
cisnt to pass it over the Governors OBJ
lection. As finally adopted. however,
the veto power OF the executive is a.
great as that OF the President OF the
United States. the assent OF two-thirds
OF the members OF each house OF the
assembly being necessary to overcome
his objections. The Governors Of Ohio
have never heretofore been Invested
with this authority.

Here We will have all the children OF

school and out-buildiDgs, with 40 place

will annoy a thickly populated part Of
the city and in turn be buffeted and
annoyed. The jail is constantly in
their eye and mind-the passiug to

asylum has no room. the daily ringing
OF the court bell during school hours
for some twelve or fifteen terms OF
court annually, and the buzzipg OF saws

sights and sounds to which the children
will be constantly exposed.
In spite OF the best efforts Of good

be q constant feud and war.
This will lead to widespread trouble
between parents and sects and may lead
to terrible social disturbance. This
ought by all means to be avoided. The
children will have to play or fight on
the same ground. 1t is not an unfre-
quent thing shat such fights now occur
With near three squares between the
two school buildings. These fights will
lead to arrests, many Of the children OF
both schools will be Withdrawn while
many more will be made familiar with

and Q ssctsrian war will be the conse-
quence. These matters with the Jail
scenes, and the adjournment Of schools
on q hanging day, will be delightful
things to daily impress upon the minds
of our little six year old children. The
school will be one OF vice, social and
sectarian war, familiarity with crime
