The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
mas, according to the Sun, placed
%hirteen messengers upon the express
lines of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad between Baltimore and the
Ohio river. They will have special
charge of money and small parcels
which are not under care of the bag
gage-masters. In a few days the
company will have completed ar
rangements for the transmission of
money for banks, bankers, brokers,
merchants, &C., and the collection of
notes, bills and drafts of all kinds.
Officials of the company state that
the rates will be fixed at very mod
crate figures. The express business
as undertaken by the company has
so far proved decided success both
in the quantity of goods transported
and the profits received from the
business.

EXIT PACKARD.

The Commission of eminent men sent
to Louisiana by the President, have fin
ished their work and returned. They
succeeded in amalgamating the two ri
val legislatures, and left Packard, the
Republican governor, without legisla-
ture or hope of retaining authority as
governor. His legislature went over in
to the fold of the enemy, being captured
by promises, and what could not be said as
to their own legislature, with prospect
of being paid for their services. The re-
suit is hard on Packard, the negroes and
the Republicans of the State, as it sets
up the Nichols power, and overthrows
negro supremacy. But Nichols prom
Uses to treat the blacks well and to give
them every right that they can claim,
under the laws of the State and the
United States. As to the overthrow of
the Republican party, that is of no spe-
cial consequence. because parties must
so demean themselves as to win popular
ity and to deserve it, if they expect to
maintain supremacy. If the Republic

care of themselves, with the tremendous
majority that they once had in LOuisi-
ana, it argues that they have been in

Professor Langston, one of the ablest
and best educated colored men in the
country, delivered an address in Jersey
City on Tuesday evening, in which he
took occasion to endorse the Presidents
paci6cation policy as already giving the
best proofs of success. He also recog-
nized the necessity of putting an end to
the use of the army to support State
governments that cannot support them
selves. When such representative col
ored men as Langston, Douglass and
Lynch believe that the Presidents policy
is the best one for their race, we see no
special occasion for white men to worry
over the impending abandonment of the
black man.

Potato Ex~r-nMRNT

The extraordinary prices received for
potatoes during the last few months. has
created sort of potato insanity among
farmers and many are making prepare

son. Let US treason together little.
Whenever there is large crop of pota-
toes in all sections where this product is
raised as a market staple, the price rules
low-too low for profit, In 1875 there
was, perhaps, more than an average crop
of potatoes the country through. and
they were so cheap as not to be pro6ta
BILE. Last year, drought, small acre.
age aud slight injury from the potato
bugs, made light crop, and hence the
high prices.
Horace Greeley, or some other philoso-
phcr, put good deal of common sense
into the following illustration that we'll
explains the reason why certain things
fluctuate SO much in price from year to
year. when there are only five hats in
the market and six men are buying hats,
hats will be very high /; when there are
six hats in the market and only five
men are looking for hats, hats will be
low" Last year there was a scarcity
of chat" potatoes, and they were high
This year, unless the crop is greatly in
jured by some unforeseen cause, there
will be a huge crop.
Yankees are tickle minded they droI
one business and take up another before
they have time to prove the value of thu

and staples farmer produces. ON
year hops sell for fifty cents pound
and the next year great many plan
hops; the next year they sell for tel
cents pound, and hop poles are Gu
into fence stakes. About once in fou
years pork gets up to very high pric

is strongly protected by natural barriers:
The strongly fortified HellespOnt. which
shuts the Russian feet into the Black
Sea, the mountains of northern Turkey
in Europe, the Caucasian Mountains
in Asia. and many other natural barriers.
Russia embraces that vast area of
country that spreads over all north east
ern Europe and northern Asia. She is
shut in on the north by the everlasting
SHOWS and the frozen seas on the west
and southwest she is bordered by the
powerful and jealous nations of enlight-
ened Europe on the south her bounda-
ry is Austria and the Black Sea. In
Asia she is hemmed in by the greatest
nations of that country, and most care
fully guarded by the watchful eye of
England, lest she encroach on territory
that may endanger India. So that, ex-
cept in very small portion of her bOr-
ders, she occupies the bleak regions Of
the Old World. She seeks an outlet
and communication with the world thro'
the Black Sea and the connecting waters
to the Atlantic. She must encroach on
Turkey to get this right, and hence the
real cause of the war, though other caus
es may be assigned.
The Russian armies are now crossing
the Pruth, tributary of the Danube
which separates southern Russia from
Roumania, an independent country lying
between Austria, Russia and Turkey
north of the Danube. The Turks ar,
now said to be crossing the lower Dan
ube, and propose to meet the enemy an(

which is too feeble country to resis

make her soil great battle-ground ant

large army through Circassia in Asia
and proposes to strike the Turks in tina
direction.
The war promises to be of great mag
nitude, and the end cannot be seen fror
the beginning.

fault; and if SO, they must 60 over.
The President struck out on lire of
policy which he believed best for the
general good of the nation, and he de-
cided not to bolster up any state govern
ment by the army. When he found it
necessary in So. Carolina and Louisiana
to keep troops at the door of the Repub-
lican legislatures in order to keep them
rightside up. he said. "No; Republican
ism is dear to me; but if it will not
stand without bayonets, it must fall. 7"
So he ordered his troops to their barracks.
and Chamberlain and Packard surren-
dered.
The President does not say that these
men were or were not elected governors /;
but he says that they must stand, ifthey
stand at all, on their own underplnning.
The Democracy are jubilant. Tilden
could not have done more than the Pres
ident has in this direction, and they
have no cause now to complain about
/ "bayonet rule" If the President would
only invite them to the public crib, and
feed them on the fodder of government
Office, they would be happy; but the
various heads of the departments don't
propose to shift officers where there are
efficient ones now holding positions. So
the chances for the ''outs" are decidedly
slim. The Presidents way of doing
business will not be relished by politi.
clans, but so far as can be Judged al
present. he will please those who are
willing to put country above party, and
the general veal above private interests
Let him proceed.
