We believe it was the Carson

mor which appeared in the TIMES,
could not imagine why Hon. Tom

except to settle down to the practice
of his profession. or at least to keep
Sutro from undermining us all and
extracting the universal bung OF

over the political situation as yet,
but this allusion to the everlasting
Sutro is suggestive. Take the great

what would they bei Nothing.
Locally, we Of Nevada have no po-
litical issue whatever, except as to
persons and Office; there is no princt

raj vote, however, is q serious mat
ter; it may be that Nevada viii de-

the case, should the election be

ativcs. Otherwise, Sutro is our only
salvation. Sutro is perennial topic

Our late Secretary Of War would
have been fitting Minister for the
rotten empire of Louis Napoleon and
his gay wife. The shoddyism of the
last fifteen or twenty years in our
country is really an of-shoot of the
defunct regime of Napoleon the
Third. The dress Of our fair CD is
copied from the demi-monde of Paris,
and the music Of our parlors FREEDOM

that Belknap did not 60 abroad AID

After century of bloody revolu-
tion-changes innumerable-repub-
licanism in France seems pretty
fairly established by a vote OF the
people. Should it prove to have a
firm hold, the humiliation OF 1870
will have been blessing in disguise,
and instead of harboring feelings OF
revenge, the French nation should be
ever grateful to Germany, for to the
strong arm of Emperor William is
the downfall of the bogus empire Of
Louis Napoleon entirely due, and
the opportunity Of the republic Gre
ated. France is to-day stronger as a
republic, if she will but modify her
warlike propensities and expend her
energies in the development Of her
industries, than Germany as an en-
pire, sapped to the foundation for
the maintenance of its army.

II the Archer bill for regulating
fares, freights, etc., on the Central
Pacific railroad. should become q
law, and have the effect Stanford
claims-that OF stopping work on
sheis different extensions--it might
not be the worst thing that could
happen the Pacific Coast. Provided,
of course, that it would result in
the construction of truly opposi-
ton line across the Continent. But
somehow we are weak in the faith
that the lawmakers will ever get
the monopolfes Of this sort in such
q box that there will be no loophole
of escape. and things not go back
to their normal condition. As for
Stanford's note Of warning, it is
merely a polite wall for temporary
effect. He would push the South
ern Pacific, at least to the Rio
Grande without interruption, rather
than let Scott in on any terms.

Regulating Fares and Freights.

From a Wisconsin paper Of a late
date, we obtain the full text Of the
revised railroad law. Every reader
of the papers cannot but have some
idea or recollection of the so-called
Potter law. 1t was a well-meant but
laundering piece of legislation, and
has had to be completely overhauled
the result of which is before US.
Our limited space forbids doing JUS
tice thereto in the way of republica-
ton. Suffice it, the bill appears to
give satisfaction to such pronounced
railroad paper as the Chicago "Trib-
une," and seems to cover all the
points asked for by the people di-
rectly concerned. 1t has passed the
Wisconsin Acknowledgements both
branches of the Legisiature-and
should it become law and be en-
forced, and prove the long-looked-for
panacea for the ills that transporta-
ton is heir to, who knows but we
may experience revival of the rail
road issue in Nevada at an early day?
1t ought not to be made partisan
issue at this stage of the game. We
have had about enough OF that. The
best minds of all parties should unite
in disposing of the vexatious and i'm
portant question.
The Tribune" which had the
whole matter under its eye from its
incipiency. says: '"That a glance
ct these sections will show that the
bill is most excellent one. 1t in
reality accomplishes all that the
Potter law has with reference to the
rights of the people, but does it
without bankrupting railroads in
the operation, and paralyzing the
business interests of the State. 1t
comedies all that the people have
demanded, namely, State control,
reasonable rates, and the suppress
sion of combinations and discrim-
nations, and its penalties are suf-
ficiently severe; but it accomplishes
all this without being proscriptive
and tyrannical in its application,
and without killing the profits and
stopping dividends of roads. 1t
aims to cure the disease by the ap-
plication of proper remedies, in
stead of killing the patient. 1t is
concession which has been wisely
made, and which. while it still pro-
tects the rights of the people, does
not cripple the railroads and para
lyze general business interests.
Under its operations the people
may look for an increase of business
facilities, which the roads can now
feel able to guarantee without feel
ing at the same time that they are
liable to go into bankruptcy"
Since the above was in type, dis
patches from Sacramento seem to
point to repetition Of Wisconsin
ON this coast.

Fare and Freight Bills.

SAN Francisco, March 13.-The
report of the Senate Committee on
Corporations presented to-day re-
port adversely to the Archer bill, but
in favor of the O'Connor bill-for the
appointment of Transportation Com
mission-with amendments, being
very much like the amended Potter
law recently passed by the Wisconsin
Legislators. They fix as the maxi
mum rates for all companies in the
State the published schedules of rate s
in force on the 1st of January last.
Three Commissioners are to be APP
pointed by the Governor, at salaries
of $4,000 per annum, who are to re-
port upon all railroad matters to the
next Legislature. The rates fixed in
O'Connor bill, as amended, will
average on freight 80 TO 6 cents
per ton per mile. Provision is
also made for insurance of hold
over tickets, good for sixty days;
and there are clauses against dis
elimination of persons and places,
and to prevent extortion. The report
quotes largely from a paper by
Charles Francis Adams, in the
March number Of the Atlantic
Monthly" and from a speech by
that gentleman in Wisconsin.

TcnnCSScc's Votes.

Iuasmuch as there seems to be some
misunderstanding as to the number OF
votes to which Tennessee will be cnti.
tied at st Louis, we make the follow,
ing statement:
The custom Of the Democratic party
has been to appoint two delegates fol
each Senator, aud two for each Repre-,
sentative in Congress. Tennessee will
have twenty four delegates at st. Louis.
1t has been customary, in addition to
the regular delegates, to appoint an
equal number Of altcrnatcs, who are
admitted to the Convention, and al,
lowed to vote only with the permission
Of the accredited State delegations,
The vote of these alternalcs does not
increase the vote Of the State. The ali.
,encc Of any regular delegate gives the
alternate a seat as acting delegate from
the corresponding district.
Under no circumstances can Tcnnes
see have more than II votes in the
Convention.
AS thus organized the Convention
will consist Of twice As many members
rs there are votes in the Electoral Col
Icgc, making the whole number Of del
cgntcs in the Convention 1873. OF this
number it will require two thirds Of the
whole BODY, or 1872, to make Il noml
