THE SO-CALLED GAG LAW

A large number of the newspapers Of the
country have worked themselves into a
white heat Of denunciation of what they
are plea,ed to call ''Mr Carpenters news,
paper gag law" A misnomer, by the way,
inasmuch as the bill failed and 4" - ''' :"

This has been interpreted as an attack
upon the freedom of the press" 1t is
asserted that if the above amendment
should become law the press Of the coun-
try would be bound hand and foot and
placed at the mercy Of every official in
Washington. Our citizens have been

UNDER the law amending the act to
create an additional judicial district in the
State of North Carolina, Capt. J. G. Hester
was nominated, but not confirmed, at the
late session of Congress, to be United
States marshal for the Eastern district OF
that State. Capt. Hester, while in the
special Service of the Government, did
more than any other Single Individual, to
expose and destroy the North Caroline k1-
Klux. His services in this particular were
instrumental in saving the State to the Re-
publican party in the summer election pre-
ceding the last Presidential campaign, when
President Grant received 5000 majority.
No better appointment or one more de-
serving could have been made, and it is
also one that will meet with the unanimous
approval of the overwhelming majority of
the Republicans of the old North State. 1t
is understood for these reasons that the ap-
pointment will be made again Immediately,
subject to confirmation at the next session.

GEN. LOGAN. in his Springfield speech,
printed in full in these columns some days
ago, made pretty good point against the
reformers. 1T" said he, 'the two exist
ing parties ara corrupt and rotten, out Of
"what class ofpeople is the new honest party
"to be franed!" A glance at the heading
"reformers," East and West will convince
everybody that they are for the most part
men who would have been kicked out Of
the Republican party for dishonesty. Looh

THE peculisrities Of legislation were never
more forcibly nlustr ated than in the House
when the St. Paul and Pacific railroad bill was
passed by an overwhelming vote, and the OPP
position could not command strength enough
to call the yeas and nays: Special legislation,
ESQ be s-sssesfal, mast ne managed by Papnlar
men. ~ was Always Gay controlled 6y
his md netism; Thsd Stevens by his individual
fly, and the St. Paul and Pacific bill was
passed because of the confidence and friendH-
ness existing for its popular advocate. Not
withstanding the universal and bitter hostility
which the present Congress has shown to
every railroad scheme, to such an extent that
none have dared even ask for land grant,
and but few have applied for an extension of
time; yet in this case it seems to have melted
away, and an extension was granted the St.
Paul and Pacific till the Sd of March, 1876, and
it was, as Speaker Blaine said after the bill had
passed, the most successful feat of personal
legislation accomplished this Congress, and a
surprise to him. Its passage was due entirely
TO the personal popularity Of General Averil1,
and the confidence reposed in any state
ment or proposition advocated by him. It
looked as though the House had
forgotten its hostility to railroad bills, as
though conventions had ceased to resolve and
correspondents to illuminate against them, and
that members had gone wild in their favor,
notwithstanding any former prejudice. Such,
however, was not the case. TWAS Averill they
were voting for-not the St. Paul and Pacific
railroad bill-snd the most persistent efforts of
Randall, speer and Holman only brought out
twenty-six votes for the yeas and nays, to one
hundred and forty-seven against, all Of which
meant that great many members voted for
the bill, but did not want to 60 onrecord for it.
Ayerill himself was SO inflated over It passage
that he instant disappeared from the House and
could not be found by his friends and colabor-
ers, Dunnell and Strait, for an hour. When
discovered he was paying for telegram.
During the voting one prominent opponent
said, mo man can stand on his feet and vote
against anything Averill asks for and not feel
mean about 1t, and I am going to sit down."
and he did 50 just in time to escape being
counted.

VITAL TLsTLnS

The recent law of Congress 'enlarging
and further defining the duties and powers
of the Board of Health" is calculated to
produce beneficial effects, not only because
it increases the powers Of the board as re-
CARDS sanitary regulations, but because II
will enable it to obtain and preserve needed
statistics regarding the death-rates, the
spread of epidemics and other similar mat
tiers. and at the same time to exercise de-
sirsble supervision over the burial of per
sons who may die within the District limits
At first glance this may not strike the super
fetal observer as necessary or as arbitrarily
needful as It really is; but the experience Of
other large cities in which regulations for
this object have been legalized and faith
fully executed, teaches US that the
question of preserving vital statis-
tics" is exceedingly important. I'm
der the regulations which, the law
authorizes, and which the Board will doubt
less make, all practicing physicians, &C.
coucheurs, undertakers and superintendents
of cemeteries will be required to register
their names and report the death and burial
of victims of disease or accident. Reports
ofrihis character will show at once the sp-
proach or rather the beginning of an cpl
demic, as they will indicate the first case Of
any fatal contsgion. As the custom now
obtains it is possible that the smallpox, for
instance, might prevail to limited extent,
confined to the patients of one or more
physicians, without the Board, the only
sanitary authority in the community, re-
ceiving any information regarding it, and it
is possible that through the connivance OF
both physician and undertaken, murder
might be committed, and death from the
malpractice of an accoucheur might occur
without any knowledge of the crime be-
ing made public. If, as it is proposed, a
burial permit was required before the inter
ment of a victim of one of these supposi-
titious cases, based upon satisfactory testi-
mony regarding the manner and cause of
death, it is apparent that the crime would
be detected. In addition to this, however,
the Board will keep q meteorological

medical profession, because it will show
the influence of different seasons and con-
ditions of the year upon the health of the
community. We congratulate our citizens
that this long needed reform in our local
affairs is about to be accomplished, and be-
lieve that we but repeat the unanimous
desire of all those who have studied the
subject when we admonish the Board to
begin the work at once,

These facts, when taken in connection
with the increase of domestic exports dur
ing the same period, exhibit an entire
change in the balances and give pleasing
evidence that we are economizing and pay
ing our debts. II we can persevere In this
way q few years and discontinue the con.
struction of unnecessary railways until we
have paid off the Indebtedness now stand
ing against those we have in operation,
times will improve with us rapidly.
Apropos to this subject Is the revision of
the revenue and tariff laws. This question
will, no doubt, receive the attention of the
members of the Committee on Ways and
Means during the recess. When Congress
convenes in December. we may also expect
that the new Secretary of the Treasury will
favor 1t with complete picture of the con
dition of our export and import trade. and
some enlightened views with regard to the
policy necessary to be adopted in order to
reanimate our own Industries and at the
same time revive our carrying trade.
Since the war the attention of the coun-
try has been greatly diverted from industry
to speculations. Our carrying trade having
been crippled by the rebel cruisers has been
constantly slipping sway from us, while
we have bought largely from abroad, and
paid foreign vessels for bringing to US our
purchases. We have constructed %. 900
miles of railway on credit for the purpose
of raising the prices of Western lands, and
upon the strength of this apparent wealth
many thousands of our citizens have visited
Europe at an expense of millions in gold
coin. and have returned with many trunks
filled with non-duty paying personal bag
gage. The panic of last fall has checked
this sort Of thing and set both debtors and
creditors to thinking and economizing

admonishes them that they are
not quite as wealthy as they supposed.
The Presidents veto of the initiation cur
rency bill has warned them that they must
count upon real values only, and not upon
credit values. The people now see that In
dustry and economy must take the place of
speculation if they would build their for
tunes upon firm and lasting basis. If
Congress at its next session shall work in
with the Treasury for the re-
Mobilization of our financial and COM
mercial affairs in the adjustment of the
tariff and the revival of the carrying trade,
there is little doubt that sound practical re-
suits of great benefit may be attained.
