The Mississippi plan of e-lectioneering
with the shotgun, Colt, and Derringer
may have qualities of temporary effec-
tiveness which commend it to the
South Carolina chivalry, but it has dis
advantages which weigh against it in
the long run. 1t was tried in Texas,
and proved very effective there SO far as
the election was concerned, but its af-
ter consequences have not been agreea-
BILE, as witness these remarks of the
Dallas Herald, a Democratic paper Of
that State:
1.-THE people are heart-sick and weary
of murder. They hang their heads in
very shame at the character Texas is
obtaining abroad. They know and feel
that it does her every interest infinite
hurt, retards immigration, drives back
capital, arrests internal improvements,
b~ankrupts and beggars citizens"
To be sure, Texas is a vast State, to
which a tide Of immigration has set in,
and which has the finest prospects of
future development and prosperity, if
law and order prevail. These disagree
able after consequences of the Missis-
sippi plan reveal themselves more
promptly and in a more practical and
realizable way to its citizens than they
may to States like South Carolina and
Mississippi, which do not seem to desire
immigration, but they will make them
selves equally as plain some day, and
that not far in the future, to any State
whose people resort to murder as an
electioneering device.

Reorganization of the judiciary.

The lower house of Congress last week
passed the very important bill recently
reported from the Judiciary Committee,
which proposes to reorganize the Judi
ciary so as to provide for Courts of APP
peals in the several existing United
States judicial districts, by which the
great burden now imposed upon the
United States Supreme Court by appel
late jurisdiction may be relieved. In
each United States Circuit the Justice of
the Supreme Court, the Circuit Judge
and the District Judges, whose districts
are embraced within this circuit, are to
constitute the new Court of Appeals.
To this court civil cases amounting to
over $500 may be moved for review upon
a writ of error, while appellate iurisdic-
ton i'll criminal cases is also provided
for i'll all such cases tried IL Federal
courts. Mr. Knott, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, says that some of
the merits of this measure may be briefly
stated as follows 1t enlarges the right
of appeal to the citizen, while it fur
nishes him a convenient tribunal of COM
handing dignity and authority for its
determination near his own domicile, in
stead of requiring him, as is the case
now, to travel from / 200 to 5000 miles
to have the trial of his cause delayed for
from three to five years. Another merit
is that it does not increase the number
of Judges nor the expense of our present
Judiciary system solitary dollar. The
bill now goes to the Senate.

Fraudulent Failures.

1t isn't so easy to fail and make money
out of it Mt Boston as it has been. Mer-
chants are taking stand upon principle,
and, where concealment or dishonesty
appears, combine to have cases probed
to the bottom, and it can but have a
wholesome effect. At creditors meet
ing, the other day, debtor, after show,

20 cents on the dollar, providing that he
could get his brother to help him. After
several questions, a creditor remarked,

cent. and spend as much more in costs,
rather than to be a party to an unjust

Minister Schenck and the Emma Mine.

In response to a resolution offered in
Congress-, Secretary Fish has sent to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs the
letters between Schenck and the depart
ment in relation to the Emma mine
fraud. The committee refuse to give
the correspondence to the press until
presented to Congress-. The points, how
ever, are these: A sharp letter of repri-
mand from Fish to Schenck was sent as
soon as the details of the character of
the transaction began to leak out on this
side of the water. 1t points out the in
delicacy, and indecorum, and obvious
disadvantage it would be to any close
diplomatic relation with the English Cab
met. He hoped, however, for az explain
alton that would leave it i'll a less awk-
ward light than the American press COM
ments had put it. Mr.. Schenck replied,
calling attention to the charges, and said
that he was ready for the fullest investi-
CATION into his conduct that he had be-
come director i'll the corporation at the
instance of Americans and Englishmen
of the highest standing for the purpose
of protecting his own interests and also
those of his friends, who We're American
citizens of the highest reputation. He
went on further to define his position
and give precedents, citing the Portu-
guese Minister, who had entered into a
somewhat similar enterprise. Fish re-
piled by telegram that while it was prop
er for an ambassador to invest his money
in any stocks that he might desire for
his own profit, yet it was highly improp-
er for him to become a director in such
corporation, and allow his name to be
used for the purpose of giving it credit,
and recommended that he withdraw from
the dictatorship at once. Evidently dis
composed by the gravity of the case
which the Secretary of State thought
worth responding to by telegraph,
Schenck resigned at once, and reported
progress to the State Department.

Six Thousand Miles by Telegraph.

A Hartford firm sent message to a
business establishment in London last
Saturday. The last word was sent from
the Hartford office at 900 in the forenoon,
and at 10:47 the answering message was
complete in the same Office. On Mon
day message was sent at 400 p. M,
and at $40 D. m. the answer was deliv-
cred. If we consider the number of
hands through which the dispatch
passed, both i'll transit between the diff
ferent offices and delivery in London and
Hartford, the extraordinary features of
the exploit will be the more readily APP
preciated.-HarUord Times.
