the United States Congress has the

power Congress may, and should so
iegislate as TO prohibit under suita-
BILE penaltieS) extortiOn, unjust dis
elimination, and other wrong and
unjust conduct on the part Of persons
or corporations engaged in such com
merce. And, by virtue Of the same
constitutional power Congress may

4. That the State has power, aud
it is its duty to provide by law for
the regulation and control of railway
transportation within its own limits,
and we demand that the law of this
State passed for this purpose at the
last session of the General Assembly
shall be upheld and enforced until it
shall be superseded by other legisla-

proper judicial tribunal.

all appropriate legislation for the full

6. That the s27, 100000 reduction
in the estimated expenses of the Gen

the people.
7. That we are in favor of an
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States providing for the
election of President and Vice

in convention assembled, do adopt

the party I'm the National Conven-

polls,--a policy which, whilecontrib-

upon the policy of specie resumption

material and industrial interests of

2. That we reafiirm the declara-

HooDwINKING FARMERs.-The
cry OF the reformers" about the
corrupt political parties, is all bosh.
The truth is, the people of this coun-
try, as nation, are all right, honest,
and mean well enough. The differ
ences which exist are only questions
Of policy. The policy of the Demo-
cratic party on the slavery question
killed 1t. It's policy on the war kept
1t killed. Its reconstruction policy,
its acknowledgements policy, its war
debt policy, its Reputation policy,
and others still kept ii in the tomb.
The policy of the Republican party
has been acceptable to the people,
Therefore that party has prevailed and
kept in power. Nobody believes that
both parties are SO corrupt, rotten
and rockies as TO render them I'M
worthy OF further confidence. The

"Railc, the southern horizon OF
the political sky looks bright"
laughs the Indinanola Tribune, after
giving the boastful news of Demo
cratic victory ia Tennessee. The
Herald retorts upon the editor OF
the Tribune (who by the way is sec
rotary of the Anti-Monop. State
Central Committed in this way:
Thus spoke the editor Of the Irib-
uyae in his issue OF the 18th, at the
close of a short article referring to
the Tennessee election. Every Dem
ocratic victory rejoices his heart, and
he takes good care TO record them all
with much gusto, and at the same
time to give the Republicans a few
side cuts. As the editor of what is
called an Anti-Monop paper he is a
standing contradiction, always cry
ing about Republican corruption,
and rejoicing in every Democratic
success. That there were corruptions
under Republican Rule in the South
is true that there were corruptions
there under former Democratic rule
is just as true, and that very much OF
the corruption under Republican rule
has been because Of the miserable
condition into which these States
were brought under former Demo
cratic rule. But the change to DEM
ocracy makes all things lovely. We
would commend to our friends read
ing the following extract from the
Galveston telegraph, of Texas, a
leading Democratic paper, in an edi-
torial showing the condition Of the
State under Democratic rule:
"The laws are not enforced priso-
ners in the clutches Of the law are
seized by irresponsible mobs and sur
reptitiously hung. Thieves and rob-
bers and murderers are terror to
good citizens, insomuch that they
justify, and possibly take part in,
these summary proceedings. Doubt
less these proceedings are winked at,
if not connived in, by the officers of
the law. 1t is not possible to suppose
that sheriff gives up his prisoners
unless with a willing or half-williHg
consent. A sheriff who owes his Of

law as their strongest and best bull
wark against violence. 1t would not
be ineffective if some messenger Of
the Executive should visit the coun-
ties where violence exists, and urge
good citizens to such united action.
If State constabulary can be avoided

willing to sustain the laws, let them
feel the strength Of united action.

THE EUREKA OF 1874.

The beginning of a new wear has
been fixed by long established custom
as the proper season for reviewing the
past and specializing upon the future.
This custom is not without its good re-
suits. and may be equally as we'll APP
piled to communities us to individuals.
BY comparing the year just closed
with former ones, we find it has been
one of marked advancement and gen-
eral prosperity to Il citizens. Dur
mines have produced more bounteous-
ly, u population has p~erceptibly i'll
creased, and the amount and value OF
our taxable property almost doubled.
Certainly such a retrospect is most
pie sing, and the future seems to
promise even more than the past has
shown. Among the many events
which mark prospective Improvement.
we find a railroad projected aud actu-
ally in course of construction, which,
when completed, will bring us within
six hours of the trunk line across the
continent. The benefits to be derived
from this road are too numerous TO no.

however. may be alluded to with inter-
est to the reader. First: The fares and

country south and southeast. and open
to settlement large tracts which are
now entirely undevelopel. and whose
riches are known only to a few pros

will be continued. and may.even reach
the Colorado, bat many years must
elap>e before this can be accomplished,
and during that time We must receive
the tribute always paid at any point OF
distribution. Another feature in this
r)ad is, that it is being constructed
without public aid of any kind. but
purely as a business operation on the
part of its projectors, which feature
alone is the strongest evidence OF conf
dence in the future of our section. We
predict that this confidence has not
been misplaced, and that the termina-
ton of 1874 will furnish for the chron-
i.ler a record of greater prosperity than
the year just passed. and find a ON
munitv more permanent than even the
most sanguine could hope for.
