The Alabama Inyestigs,ion

TWO REPORTS FROM THE COMMITTEE.
The Congressional committee which went
10 Alabama to investigate the condition of
affairs in that state, will make two reports,
which have already been agreed on. The
majority report is signed BY MeSSrS Cobura
Albright and Cannon. They believe that bul
Tor the timely interference of the adminiStra-
lion in Louisiana revolution would have
been preclpitatCd upon the people of Ala
bama. The committee further report that
members of the republican party were sub
Jected 10 a series of mdigntieS aud such NAL
treatment as has heretofore been witnessed
only IN savage warfare. The principal OBJ
Ject, or point, however, OF the democracy
seemed To be 10 crush ont the white leaders.
ana 10 THIS end a new feature of American
politics, namely. social and business oSfra-
ciSm, was introduced. The committee de-
clare that the democratic victory i'm the state
was won by fraud, violence. prescription. in
umidatlOn and murder. The law officers
WeT" in league with law brea kcrS. The courts
of justice were pOwc.leSS TO make arrests
and the governor had no militia TO aid un-
willing officers. The committee say. "Our
only reg. Ell is that there Were not more United
states soldiers i'm the state than there wera
To-. The purpose of aiding in the enforcement
OF the law" The report then treats of ballot
box Stuffing and burning of ballot boxes
which was INDUCED in, and gives full re-
view of the riots at Mobile, Eufaula, Spring
Hill, Folkland, Gainesville and other places
The opinion is expressed by the committee
mat had full, fair, and free election taken
place, the entire republican state ticket with
a majority of members of the general assem-
Dly and SIX out of eight republican Congress-
men, would have been elected: and they re-
commend the passage of the 'force bill"
The minority report takes ground in opposi-
ton to these conclusions.

digious and hitherto uninterrupted feat of

Several weeks ago Mr.. Grason, backed

daily average OF q little oyer 30 miles, .
Under the terms of the agreement,
which have been accepted and signed,
,Grason is to start from, the City Hall,
New York, on Saturday, April g., 1875,

no Your Best.

Some farmers, because theysare poor,
make this an excuse for general selfish
ness. Because they can't build fine
farm house they will let the old log one
they live in look as though the beggars
bad it, Because they can't build a
frame barn, will provide no suitable
covering for their stock, which might
be done for a little outlay. Because
they can't build front fence such as
they would like. will let the one they
have become rickety and broken. In
short, because they can not do as they
would like to, they will not do at all.
How many log houses there are which
if stripped of their ornaments would
not bring ffty dollars, and yet under
the hands of tasty housewife with a
husband to s'fx up around" make a
neat and attractive home. A place may
show poverty and be neat;a man may
have but little means and yet show
thrift. There may be small outlay in
money, and yet system and busy hands
will prove many conveniences and add
many beauties that will make a home
pleasant and inviting. If one cannot
do as others do, let him do as he can.
Happiness does not depend upon the
amount we possess, but our ability to
enjoy what we have Good housekeep-
ing is not seen alone in the mansion of
the rich, but in the humble cottage as
well Good farming need not be con-
fined to great estates, or to forehanded
men, but may exist as well among the
poor. One who has but little to do,has
but little to do well, and he is a good
farmer, and has tasty home. The
poor family who there lives may, on the
whole, have happy home, and enjoy
as good name as he who has his, thou

Economy Of the Narrow Gauge.

Economy Of the Narrow Gauge.
We take the following from an alb
stract Of speech made at Greenfield,
Ohio, a few days ago, by COL HuRLsURr.
He is man of large experience on the
subject, and his opinions and statistics
are entitled to consideration:
s'The present bonded debt of the rail-
roads of Ohio costs the State in interest
more than S12,0Oo,000 per annum, and
the average of dividends paid by the
roads is ouly three and three-quarters
per cent. Obviously it will not do to
practice long division on such profits by
building more railroads at the same cost.
And yet all interests now unite in a de
mand for cheaper transportation. The
solution of the problem is found in mar.
row. gauge roads.
"Of the cost Of the existing roads
$50,000,00 might have been saved by
constructing narrow-gauges in certain
places, and the facilities still have been
more than sufficient The average cost
of the narrow-gauge in the United States
is 5000 per mile: that of the stand
ard-gauge from $4,000 to 100000 per
mile. An almost equal difference is
found in the cost of repair anG opera
ton; but the difference in amount trans
ported is only half that proportion.
"Thus it was demonstrated, by expert
ence, that when a train of a certain
length on the Standard gauge carried 200
tons OF dead weight, similar train on
the narrow gauge carried 60 to ITO tons
less of dead weight. These figures were
| then applied to the proposed road. The
100 miles would cost in construction, al
the very least, 81, 800, 900 less than the
standard-gauge, estimating that one hall
| the cost would be in bonded indebted
ness, on which interest must be paid for
say, twenty years. We have this re
suit.
"The interest saved by taking the
cheaper road would in ten years build
the narrow-gauge. and in twenty years
build broad gauge. By building the
cheaper road now, the people will save
enough, in interest only,to build broad
gauge long befnre one will be necessary
and make clear SAVING OF the princi
lpal.
'sHe showed from his own experience
that narrow-gauge can tranship every
| so miles, if necessary, and still transport
cheaper than a broad gauge. But in
coal and iron ores, by using cars with 8
drop, bottom, the transhipment can bt
Fefected at . trifing cost; passengers will
tranship themselves, and heavy freigh,
can be changed for from five to ten cents
| per ton, according to circumstances"

pistols. But two came to certain death,
and, fell almost on top of US as we

they ever were before. 1t is to be
hoped sincerely that these railroad cor

that the rates may be kept down. One

Kansas school district bonds purport-
ing to have been issued by the dis:
tricts in Mitchell, Jewell, Republican

ly $4,000. Suspicious circumstances
connected with these bonds led the
commission to examine into the. mat

that the bonds were fraudulent aid
issued witlla design to -perpctrate

treasurer, whopaid for these bonds on
orders Of the commissioners of the
school fund, was not careful as to the
identity Of persons to whom he paid
money, and suspicion has been arous-
ed to such an extent that Governor
Osborn has demanded his resignation,
which was rendered.
