The new railroad law which went into
effect on the 2Sth ult., has caused consider
able excitement among railroad men and
the people. VI How the thing will terminate
time will have to determine. On some Of
the routes passengers have rendered the
legal fare, to-wit: three cents per mile,
and on the conductors refusal to accept
they have rode free, the conductor inform.
ing them that they were liable to prosecu-
ton for not complying with the demands of
the railroads. There has been no violence
offered so far The railroads are deter
mined not to yield; we say give them the
law; we hope the Governor will have
backbone enough to enforce it.; we know
not whether he is greater than the influence
that will be brought to bear against him or
not; there seems to be more than Omnipo-
tence in the strength of money; it moves
men into the consummation Of acts that no
code Of moral ethics will justify; even the
theological winnowings Of the just from the
unjust. with its consignment of chaff into
the eternal shades of smoking Hades,
fails to make honesty above par and it goes
begging in the markets. So if an angry
God with the fearful threatening future, fail

Death of Mrs. T. H. Perkins.

The wife of Mr.. T. H. Perkins of this
city died on the 10th of this month Of
consumption. W. J. McMasters editor
of the Lake City Leader publishes in a
late number of his paper the following
beautiful and deserved tribute to her
memory:
Nearly eight years ago, Mrs. Perkins
came to Lake City, the witely compau-
ion of our intimate friend and { then }
business associate, where she spent the
first happy years of her married life,
becoming we'll known to numerous ap-
preciative friends. She resided here
about three years removing with her
husband and child to Red Wing in
1869. For several years since her re-
moval she has been an invalid. The
death of her only child bright and
happy boy-over a. year ago, seemed to
hasten her days into rapid decline,
from which there is no return this side
of the dark valley. Since then she has
been more than ever an object of anx-
ious and tender solicitude On the part
Of loving friends. During the past
winter she failed steadily; and on Sun
day last at the opening dawn, quietly
laid down her weary burden, and en-
tered upon the eternal Sabbath of rest
In the sweet fields of Eden
Whore tho Troo of 80 :. h,...-:-
1t is only those who knew Mrs. Per-
kins in the reserved circle of her fami-
ly and intimate friends and in the quiet
routine Of her: home life who will en-
tirely appreciate her as the gentlest and
best of women and they can only real
ize in the depth of sorrow that reigns
in the tender sensitive breast Of hiu;
who remains to walk alone. The shad:
ows Of life's dark hours, which encom.
pass all at sometimes, have fallen on his
pathway, but it may be consoling to re.
member that
We see but dimly through the mists and
vapors:
Amid these earthly damps
What seems US but dim funereal tapers
May be Heavens distant lamps.
In the close and cordial relation with
our old and tried companion, we can
assure him Of the most generous and
hearty sympathy Of his very many
friends, who will very earnestly hope
that He who has promised to remember
US in our sorrows and given the ample
assurance 8 [ will not leave you com
tortless," will be very near in this day
of his trial. = ,r 1t,~

The Morals of Politics. &

q. H 60 st. .E \
To-day the question Of political morality
is becoming one Of the noticeable features
in government that points strongly toward
the necessity Of reformation. The rule Of
"second rate men" is not of so much inn
portance to those to be governed as the
manner in which our political school ia
conducted, from whence graduates our Law
makers and executive heads of departments
There seems to be no lack of intelligence
upon the part Of such TO carry ell points Of
interest to them, whether it be local, na-
honal, or personal; their. qualifications.
such as they are, denote strength of pur.
pose sufficient to meet any Of the emergen.
cles that naturally arise amid the jostle
ana l1ls mum Of Legislative debates, and de-
partment transactions. The question with
the people, is the method or standard Of
morality BY which they attain to the sue
cess Of those interests that necessarily
come before them for adjudication, whether

Box AND Cox.-A great many Of
eur citizens will be surprised to learn thai
the comic operetta entitled &c Box and Cox, u
was presented at Music Hall on Thursday
and Friday evenings last by home talen,
at least the numbers of the audience
seemed to indicate most profound igno.
rance on the part Of the public of what was
being done for their amusement and en-
joyment. 1t is true, the weather was un-
favorable, but this is no excuse for not sup
porting and encouraging home talent.
As an amateur performance the rendition
was most excellent. In the character of
Cox, Gen. Jennison succeeded most admir-
ably in piling on all the agony of high trag-
edy, and illustrated the modern stvle Of
operatic singing to a dot. Mr.. Raymond
made no attempt to be anything but natur-
al, and if he did not burlesque modern act.
ing he At least did not spoil the play by at-
tempting something he could not accom-.
plish. His rendition Of the character If
Box was we'll received while his ,ineinpp,
was rapturously applauded. Mr. sheldou's 3
conception Of the character Of Bouncer was
by no means perfect. He failed to exhibit
the terrible anxiety under which the land
lord who was attempting to lodge two per-
sons in the same room must have suffered
IN the constant anticipation of discovery.

The modern plan of doing it is to make
q cool million or so out of the Indians and
then buy Bishop to give you certificate.

We suggest to the Dispatch the necessity
of bringing this matter to close in some
shape or other. Bishop Whipple, to whom
alusion is made, has been many years in
this State. Has been active and efficient in
building up churches and schools. He NAV
not have much force as man of talent. but
he is universally admitted to be good
