| \ most lame defence of the enormous
salary of twenty-five thousand dollars per
apnum paid to General MALONE. 10 llken
this salary to the professional earnings OF
private citizen is the very poorest OF suDter'
tuecs. Why, General MALONE is the man.
ager of public highway chartered by the
State, three-tifths of the money paid to
build which being taken ont OF the State
Treasury. The salary of lis president is
essentially a public matter. This city, be-
sides the interest it has in the management
| of the road as public highway, paid heavi-
" towards its construction. Then, The cor
poration is n debt largely to the State, and
| to capitalists at home and abroad. And yet
it is whitfield down by comparison TO pri-
| yate affair in which there is no public ac-
couutability, and in which directors may do
as they please, independent of the public
judgment or the rights Of stockholders and
creditors. This is the clear definition of the
Wings ine Of reasoning. 1t is absurd.
1t is true this $4,000 per annum is not an
argument pro or con on the express ques-
ton; tut the Wing opened the field by its
mode of reply to what this paper said of the
mockery of an express run on the Atlantic,
NJ $sissippi and Ohio. We occupied the
field. But that the management Of the At
lantc, Mississippi and Ohio, in all its policy,
is entirely open for public discussion, not
even the Wing will deny; and this enormous
salary paid by an embarrassed company at
time when the country is in the dust of poy-
erty cannot be justified. We cannot believe
it is approved by the parties immediately To-
teresled, let alone the oppressed people OF
Virginia. But to defend this wastefulnesS
by comparison with matters wholly private
is absurd.
This eXtravagant compensation at such
time as the present is disastrous as an exam
pie and highly calculated to produce general
discomfort amongst all salaried officers. 1t
canr OF stand that one public official shall re
ceiye more than twelve times the pay OF one
of the most important officers of the State.

THE EFFECT IN NEW YORK.
:. The New York Post Of Saturday evening
says:
Inquiries were made today az to the effect
on the grain trade Of the great 'fcornern in
corn which yesterday eliminated In Chicago,
when corn was forced up to so cents per
busbel. Mr.. Franklin Edison, the president
Of the Produce Exchange, said that the
speculation bad not influenced the market
in this city. where corn was sold yesterday
at 70 and IS cents per bushel, although its
freight from Chicago costs IL cents.
The combination did not include any firms
in New York and Liverpool, as reported,
but was confined entirely to the neighbor-
hood of Chicago, where lis immediate effect
would alone be felt. jesse Hoyt g. Co., Of
No. 10 South street, handled the corn In this
city for the operators, but they were con-
nected with the scheme only as commission
merchants. He was unable to say how many
parties the "ring" embraced. There were
many large pork. packers in Chicago who
transacted their legitimate business in the
winter, and in the summer, having heavy
capital on their hands, employed it for gam
bling in grain.
These transactions, he said, were general
ly In measure fictitious, being exactly like
speculatous in stocks. This last combina.
ton, he supposed, was based on the fact
that very heavy shipments OF corn to Eu.
rope were made last winter and spring,
while the new crop, although promising to
be one of the largest ever known, could not
come into the market in any large quantities
until next December or January. The spec
ulstors intended to get control Of The re-
mainder of the old crop, but no combination
could ever hold monopoly of grain in this
country for any length of time, for the rea-
sons that the country was too large and the
capital required too vast Whenever grain
was forced up 10 an unreasonable price it
began to pore into the market from all
sources. even from quarters where none was
supposed to be held in excess of the LEGAL
supply.

that body and its objects. We are anxious
to have the express question settled. Our

The EsUepr Of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the winter
store of Goa! 10 settle the dust occasion
cd on putting it into their cellars, do MOI
perhaps, generally know that they are
lying up for themselves a store of sore
throats and other evils consequent upon
the practice. Even the iire-damp which
escapes from coal mines arises from the
slow decomposition of coal at tempera
lures of but little above that Of the at.
mosphere, but under augmented pressure.
BY we;tIng mass OF freshly broken
coal, and putting it into cellar, the
mass is heated to such degree that
calicerted and snlphureted hydrogen are
given off for long periods of time, and
prevade the whole house. The liability
of wet coal 10 mischievous results under
such circumstances may be appreciated
from the fact that there are several IN
stances on record of spontaneous COM
bustion of wet coal when slowed into
the bunkers or holds Of vessels. And
from this cause, doubtless, May missing
coal vessels have persisted.

"Therc's no such ti,ins rs money in
this country. was the exclamation few
years ago after = soiourn in New York.
1t happened in this way:
The EngIisl,man, in course of his bus
mess, found it necessary 10 obtain all
advance on some merchandise. lie
made the usual arrangement with q large
commercial house 10 accommodate him.
On going to co:iscmmatc it and receive
the cash, he WAS good ccal surprised
when, in lieu Of it, the senior member
rendered the acceptance OF the firm,
payable at ninety days. "What am
to do with that" he inquired. "Take
it to b. Is. Il Co." (naming some well
known barkers), was The reply. "They
will give you the money at a legal rate.
The Englishman did rs he was directed.
He met with no difficulty. The paper
was acceptable, and although our hero
did not touch the cash, he received a
check for the proper amount on the
neighboring bank. Thither he repaired
in the full confidence of having some
thing tangible. He was mistaken. The
individual at the bank TO whom he pre-
scented the check for payment, seized i;
nervoasly, and in a rapid incoherent
manner, scrawled some hicroglyphics on
its face, and thrust it back into the hands
of its astenished owner, motioning him
at the same time to stand aside for the
next conner. The check had been duly
"certified." That was what the scrawl
ON its face meant. In q state of suspense
and anxiety the ENGLISH man tool, him.
self to the person to whom ne WAS in
debted, and timidly exhibited what he
had to offer. To his surprise his friends
countehanco frightened. Many
thanks!" he exclaimed. "By the way,
this amount is too large there viii! be
something over hundred dollars COM
ing to yOu," and he proceeded to fill q
check for it. The Englishraan sroaned
in spirit. 1t was only another apiece of
paper" And then it was he exclaimed,
"There is no such thing as money in
this country"

Colorado.

The people of Colorado are said to be
anxious for admission into the Union
that they have started the plan of annex
ing portion or all of Wyoming, SO as
10 make sure of sufficient population to
succeed.
The Worcester Spy furnishes some
statistics in relation 10 tho Territory OF
Colorado. The growth of population
has been something noticeable even IN
this country. Until the year 1889, there
was not a bouss or settled family in
Denver, the present cantial. The terri
torlal government was secured in 1851.
Last winter an act was passed that a
population of 1881 900 should be necessa-
ry for admission to the Union. The
population is now DISCO. The month
ly increase since August has been three
thousand. In 1870, the gold and silver
product was $4,000 GOO; in 1878, $4,000
600, and the average daily product is
now about $4,000. The coal forma-
ton is also valuable, the daily produc,
being now thousand tons.

Rae seeas In Congress.

.
Every available sea; il the House
was occupied at an early hear by those
eas..r 70 hcar ,Iac~spceci. OF Alexander
IL. Stephens on the civil risatS Dill.
The spectators Witnessed MAGNIFICENT
fs.Hure. The scene was a ns:e! one.
Mr.. STEPHENS is "a small man with very
feeble frame, which seems the more at
tc,ua,ed in the exceedingly BLACK clothes
he wears. His face is fuii of the wrinkles
and angles OF age. His eyes, however,
have all the fire of youth. His voice, al
though very feeble has . shriil, piping
tonc.which causes il 10 be heard through
out the hail. Mr.. Stephens wore his
customary skull cap CT purple velvet,
beneath which there fell broad fringe
If silver hair. His figure seemed un-
real. ue'chose !. seat at the rear OF the
House, at desk upon which there was
,,laced a formidable brcastwork OF law
hooks. The members gathered around
bin, mo- efrom curiosity than from de-
sire to listen TO his argument There were
few new thoughts in his speech. His
line of argument did not materially DIFF
fer froa, that chosen by other Democrat
, ic speakers. He Acknowledged 10 j be-
lief in the Jeif:rsonian declaration of
the Constitution, that I'll men are Great
ed equal, but he struggled with the old
theory that equal birth did not warrcnt
equal rights. There was but one illus
ion to tne political future. La that ne
threatened tho formation OF new parties.
Ir. Stcnhcns was followed by Mr..
R.asicr u coiore! member from South
carolina, who not only wanted equal
rights for black men, but also for black
women. The speech OF Mr. Harris, OF
Virginia, afforded q CURIOUS illustration OF
oi,i-tines plantation swagser and man
ncrs. Mr.. Harris had made fair argu-
ment on his 81 !e Of the case, but could
moi resist the ter: p,ation TO denornce
negro equality. lie did this in these
words: Il DEFY any man 10 say that the
black man is TIE equal OF the white man.
Mr. Ransicr, who sat across the aisle,
Immediately arose, confronting the de-
faint Southern, said that he had that
courage, and declared that the black
aan WAS the equal Of the white man.
Mr.. Harris, forgetting that The sco!orcd
member had the same rights on the
flor "a himself, Turned up~n him and
