ture and home adornments. The Sec-

IL appears that. on one OCCASION, MIR.
SCHURz moved in the Cabinet of the Fraudu-
lent President to establish the rule that no
editor or publisher Of a newspaper should be-
appointed to any Office under the present Adj
mni-tration; and this proposition he is said
to have maintained with pcitinacious argu-
mcnt.
If Mr.. SciIrRz will look into the Con-ttu-
ton and the laws OF the country. he viii
find that there is not one word in them
authorizing such prescription against nows-
paper editors cor publishers. They arr citi-
zcns with the same rights as others. and
there is no valid reason for putting them
under the ban in the manner which Mr..
ScHUHz desires.

rarely happens that newspaper men are
willing 10 take office Sometimes. however,
the case may arise ia which it il their duty

willing To- take It. Mr.. ScHrEl's prohibition
is just as foolish ~ it is illegal Il l. an

RECENT TNTEREs STING Law CASES.

The curious notions Of law which railroad
onlniuls sometimes entertain are well cXem-
plfcd in one Of the latest reported decisions Of
the supreme Court of Massachusetts,. The
Boston and Albany Railroad had undertaken
10 carry n ear load " oats. in bulk. over Il GER
tain portion OF its line. and in the bill Of lading
the weight of the oats WAS stated to bc 10000
pounds. When the ear reached Springfield.
however. the railroad company asrcrtained
that il contained. IN fact. 23667 pounds II oats.
Tn" company thcrcupon took out the excess Of
1867 pounds and forwarded the remainder to
the plaintiffs at Northampton. who then brought
suit to recover damages for the conversion Of
the oats thus taken from the car. They were
successful. and the Judgment against the rail-
road WAS sustained on review 10y the Supr, M
Court. Whatever remedy the defendant had
FOR having cnrricd the excess over 10000
pounds. said Judge Endicott. it Wac not 10y
arpropriating to it4 own u.s. the plant rs

and declared That the taking was uniustillahlc.
even if the plaintiffs I'm W the oats were under
billed and did not moan to pay freight for the
excess unless il was demanded A little moro

part NJ the on 'ors OF business corporations
would prevent 81 h occurrences rs this, which
are much more frequent than il supposed.

and through them il

to the convention and through them III
nominating the candidates. Two con-.
siderations should govern in the NOM
nomination. First, TO nominate hon
est, capable and faithful men who
would do credit to themselves ard
honor to the State If elected. And Sec
ond, 70 nominate such men as would
receive the full Republican support
and draw support from other parties.
1t would be worse than folly, 1T.
would be criminal, to nominate men
however honest, capable and faithful
the might be, who, from uncontrolla-
BILE circumstances, could not be elect
ed. But it would be the highest Wis
dom to nominate honest, capable and
faithful men who could be elected.
We have such men, and it is the duty
Of the Republicans Of the State, and
the convention to nominate them.
The Advocate proposes. q platform
which is not long and not very objec-
tionable. Some parts Of it may be
questionable as to principle, utility
and policy. A platform should be
such as can be endorsed by Republic
cans generally and not such as Large
part if not a majority Of the Republi-
cans Of the State can not endorse.
The Republican party being party Of
principles leading to progress and
reform, the platform should be ex-
pressive Of principles and in favor of
progress and reform.
With such candidates and such q
platform the Republicans can carry
The State. With different candidates
and different platform the Republi-
cans, if not sure Of defeat, are, to say
the least, liable TO defeat. So it be-
no0yes the Republicans Of the State
and the State convention to act wisely
and well in the nomination Of can
didates and the adoption of platform.

A NEW YORK correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger hints that there is
a strong conviction on the part Of the
New York police that the secret inspi-
ration of all this rising will be diseoy-
cred in the famous International Soci-
ETY. which played such havoc in Paris
when they had the upper hand there.
After the Franco-Prussian war many Of
the leaders Of this society sought ref,
uge in the United States, and it is be-
lieved that they have maintained their
secret organization in this country. If
we are to be afflicted with the Interna-
tlonal here, it is very clear that we
shall be compelled to fight it with its
own native weapons, viz: a secret po-
lice and untiring vigilance. = Inter
