THE Cincinnati Commercial keeps UP
a vigorous warfare on the Southern
Railroad 1t says the city is engaged
In "a wild scheme of building a railway
in a foreign State, through a poor,
mountainous. uninhabited country, to
terminate, as do most experiments, in
calamity. Does any one believe that
# this community was sane, enjoying
its sober senses, it would compromise
It's prosperity by permitting so danger
Gus a project to go on for an hour?
Conservative citizens have been afraid
10 speak their sentiments IN connection
with this mischief. 1t was sprung on
them unexpectedly. 1t was not until
the panic exposed its dangers they be-
gan TO realize its consequences. Since
then there has been a silent foreboding
Of evil to come from It, resting ike
nightmare on the best minds Of our
city. The legal proceedings about to
be commenced should be sustained by
all conservative citizens"

JAY GOULD as a RAILROAD ANA
CONDA.

The prices inaugurated by the great
railroad war between the Pennsylvania
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio,
have come to be a settled thing, neither
side showing signs of yielding. In a
recent interview, John w. Garrett an
nounced his readiness to fight it out on
this line all summer. Farmers and
merchants, producers and consumers,
derive profit alike from these continued
low rates of transportation. Meanwhile
Jay Gould is building up his i'm
mense trans-continental monopoly.
Virtually the Union Pacific has already
swallowed up the Kansas Pacific and
the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern railroads. This combination also
covers the express business and will go
into effect July l. III connection with
the Central Pacific, it makes a contin-
uous line from San Francisco to st.
Louis. What connections viii be made
East are as yet unknown, but the pres
ent hopeless condition of Erie, which is
Jay Gould's own work, and may be
bought ont for a song, indicates that
road as the closing link in the line to
New York.

MRS. TILTON STILL LOVES HER
HUSBAND.


The most extraordinary development
made in the whole course of Judge Por-
ter's argument thus far is the fact that
Mrs. TiltOn still loves her husband
loves him with love that is idolatrous.
Judge Porter says chat woman, lOath-
ing this man as she does to this hour,
IoCes him as I hare ReUer seen JComGa
lore man. 1t is the stTangest anomaly
that 1 have ever witnessed IN the whole
course of events. The most idOlatrous,
and, if l might so use the term, abject
love; but 1t is no longer that love which
is absolutely blind. Then 1t was love
idolatrous and blind, but R0lU It IS lore
idoIgtr0us, but blasted"
Here we have an entirely rational
explanation why the offer Of Mr.. Beach
to let Mrs. TiltOn fly was not ac-
cepted by Mr.. Bee and his counsel.
A woman who has an "idOlatrOus love"
for the plaintiff would hardly be
deemed a safe witness for the defend
ant. = Judge Porter's admission is
highly credItable to his candOr.
That d white souled woman should
still cling with idOlatrous love to a con-
spirator and scOundrel who has pre-
ferred against her a false charge of
adultery, is as marvellous as that Mr..
Beeeher should have attempted to keep
up friendly personal relations with
Frank Moulton by openly saluting him
in court after MoultOn had given his
testimony.

How the People Have Been Robbed
Of millions by CarPet.Bsg COrmO-
rants.
Charles NordoF in New York Herald.
a great dealof money has been spent
and squandered since the war on the
reconstruction Of the levees and their
repair, the greatest waste, however,
being since 1868. Between 1868 and
1871 S4,750,OO0 of State bonds were Is
sued for levee purposes, and still no
levees. Most of the money was spent
by a Estate Board Of Public Works"
whose members were appointed by
Gov. Warmoth. In 1871 a different
system was adopted, which still IS In
force, and under which large part of
the revenues of the State has been
handed over for long term of years to
a private corporation, with privileges
which enable it to misuse and squan-
der them In a most shocking way.
By the act this corporation, which was
to furnish a million of dollars in capital
stock, agreed to build and repair the
levees Of the State and to be response
bic In damages to the planters and
farmers who should suffer loss by over
flow or crevasse. In return for this the
Legislature gave them a million dollars
down, before they began work, and the
proceeds, annually, for term OF years,
of a tax Of four mills on the whole tax
able property of Louisiana, and author
lied them to charge against the great
fund, sixty cents per cubic yard for
their work. But a great part of the
levee work, done by planters for them
selves, cost only from fifteen to eigh-
teen cents per cubic yard, and thirty
cents for the average of all kinds OF
work all over the State would be, ex-
perts tell me, a high rate. In
fact the first charge was so ex-
orbitant that it has been re-
duced to fifty cents and in 1874 the
levee tax, which the company continues
TO receive, was reduced to three mills.
But the company never had any money;
the levees have been kept In proper re-
pair, and the losses from overflow have
never been so great as since it went IN
to operation; and, having no capital of
their own, if they are sued for damages
they must pay these out of the State
fund, aud thus, IN fact, the taxpayers
pay their own insurance. The com
pany receive about $4,000 a year.
This was one of the most notorious
jobs perpetrated by the Legislature,
and attracted attention at the time be-
cause a great many members not only
received brides for its support-which
was TOO common an occurrence to be
noticed-but actually gave their re-
ceipts for the money paid them.

CARDINAL McCLOSKEY's DIAMOND
CROSS
New York Herald

~" -~-'
The pectoral cross that was given to
Cardinal McCloskey last week was pre-
scented to Archbishop Hughes by the
late Queen Louise of Belgium. This
cross, the personal property of the
Archbishop, he bequeathed to his SIS
ter, the late Mother Angela, at the
time Superior General of the Sisters of
Charity, and by her death it came into
the possession Of the community of
Mount st. Vincent. When DR.. Nc
Closkey succeeded Archbishop Hughes
1t had been the wish Of Mother Angela
and SisterhoOd to give him the cross.
But by the advice of Vicar General
STAIRS the presentation was deferred TO
some future occasion. And now Prov
iderce has so ordered that the gift of
the sainted daughter of Louis Philippe
to the prelate who stood IN the eyes of
the Old World and the new as the
most illustrious representative of the
American Church shall rest on the
gentle and fatherly heart of our first
American Cardinal.

ters Of the present fiscal year:

Total. ........ Sis. ai4.I49 a ~ %

Total Sis, si4, 749 Il SD ,5l4 65
For these three-quarters the expen-
ditures were about two and a fourth
millions Of dollars greater than the re-
ceipts. This exhibit does not include
SLO96,OOO paid for the redemption of
fve-twenties for the sinking fund,
which would increase the excess of ex-
penditures over receipts for the time
mentioned to about the sum Of $780,
900. Nor does it include the S2,7O0,000
devoted to the redemption of legal
tenders during the last quarter. Added
to the excess Of S3,35O,OO0, this would
make the grand total excess of expen-
ditures over receipts for the first
three-quarters Of the current fiscal
year amount TO about S6,OOO,OOO. The
excess Of expenditures might be coun-
terbalanced by an excess of receipts
during the present and final quarter of
the fiscal year, if it were not for the
construction which Secretary Bristow
has given of the law relative to the
Sinking Fund, He holds that he is
bound to pay the Sinking Fund regard
less Of its effect upon the treasury in
meeting other demands. If hepursues
the policy which his construction of
the Sinking Fund law would indicate,
a deficit is inevitable.
