The Louisville Commercial has a
very terse way of putting things. 1t
gets in this center shot on Miss
issippi justice: "How quickly the
three hundred Mississippi assassins
would be strung up by the neck if
they were republicans and Miss CHS
holm and her little brother had be-
longed to democratic family! The
enraged populace would not have
waited for the laws delay, but would
have burned the murdrrers alive on
logheaps. But it is mournful truth
that democrat in that state can
murder republican with impunity.

Investigating the Railroads.

A committee of the West Virginia
Legislature appointed last winter to
investigate the freight and passenger
tariff charged by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad has recently been in
session in Baltimore taking testimony
in the line of their investigation.
The Wheeling Register, referring to
the committees sessions, says. "The
probability is that the committee will
find that the charges for passenger
travel are both reasonable and lawful
and that the freight rates between
what are known as competing points
will not be found much out of the
way, but the rates to local stations
will be found to be in some instances
nither reasonable nor lawful. How
ever that may be, we presume that
the committees investigations will
result in bringing about an adjust
ment which will be uniform, just and
satisfactory to the public.

There is an exceedingly unpleas-
ant possibility that between now and
the fall the country is to be worried
with great deal of talk about re-
opening the Presidential contest in
Congress when it assemblies. The
speeches of Tilden and Hendricks at
the Manhattan Club can be interpre-
ted in such a direction, and Demo-
cratic editors and statesmen will
harp on the old theme whenever
they have nothing else to discuss
during the summer Gullness. But it
is probably "all sound and fury, sig
nifying nothing" The Democratic
majority in the next House will be
small, and amongst it not a few of
the men who in March confirmed the
decision of the Electoral Commits
sion by refusing to follow the lead of
the filibusters. There is no reason
why they should now desire to renew
a conflict which they then helped to
settle, especially as the course of the
Administration has been in the main
very satisfactory to the Southerners
who figured principally in closing up
the dispute. If the subject must
still be debated we may anticipate
liberal outpourings of Democratic
pathos and indignation; but serious
ly, there is no sense in getting excl
ted over it in this weather or nursing
fears that Tilden and Hendricks are
to be pitchforked into office.

A Detroit dispatch says the Tri-

Der of letters from leading republic
cans of the State in response to a cir
cular asking an opinion upon the
Presidents Southern policy. Seven
teen.of the letters cordially approve
that policy as the only wise and just
course. Eight give qualified APP
prevail, with regret at some of the
results, three are doubtful and four
are emphatic in condemnation. All,
however, are warmly in favor of
standing by the party and the ad-
ministration.

Mr.. Alexander H. Stephens still
refuses to give the quo warranto agi-

When the president Gar of Russia
was IA years old he was an officer of
the guard, and on one occasion. in
going through the palace, he passed
a hall in which were several persons
of high military rank, who saluted
the young prince as he passed. This
mark of respect greatly pleased the
young man and he passed and repass-
ed the hall several times in the hope
of again receiving it; but the generals
took no more notice of him. Annoy
ed at this, Alexander went to COM
plain to Nicholas, who in stead of
consoling him, severely reprimanded
him for his vanity, and at once de-
priyed him of the rank he held until
he should prove himself capable of
enduring it honorably.

Mr.. Charles H. Keefer. late editor
of the Frederick Examiner, who was
killed at the recent railroad disaster
near Point of Rocks, has already had
many touching encomiums by his
contemporaries of the county press, of
the democratic as well as republican
persuasion. They all concur in as
cribing to him the highest need of
praise for excellent personal qualities
for conservative and useful traits as
a citizen, and for temperate expires
sion as political journalist. In
Frederick City and county his death
is designated as public calamity.

disturb Collector Wilkins, collector

stated that he would not remove Off

thoritative, and the Thomas men, it
is alleged, have retired from the field.

A Sheffield (England) circular SAYS

A Sheffield (England) circular says
the war is having very adverse in
fluence upon many of its industries.
The improved demand that had set
in from the continent for cutlery,
plated and other hardware has not
been followed up. The armor plate
rifle barrel and other kindred
branches have not been much affec-
ted, as the opposing powers are for
the most part drawing their supplies
from America and Germay. The
circular states that their are Russian
orders on hand for steel rails, but the
demand for other goods from that
country is limited.

The Turkey and the Bear.

A bear having observed a turkey
on the opposite of the barn yard
fence, growled angrily to the tremb-
ling bird, "If [ do not err you are
addicted to the use of bears grease
to promote the growth of your hair,
and to crafty your lusts comprised
the foul murder of nv maternal
grandmother thirty five years ago."

fowl, "but l am wholly destitute of
hair; besides, at the time of your la
mented relatives death | was not
hatched." "Well," roared the ag-
gravated bruin, show dare you tress-
pass upon my estate and entertain
intentions of territorial aggrandize-
ment ?" "Alack, good car, replied
the unhappy bird, chow can that be
when the barn yard fence stands be-
tween you and me?" "That makes
no difference" cried the plantigrade
of all the Russias, II am compelled
to interfere for the protection of your
unhappy Christian Subjects" and
crossing the fence in force, he pro-
ceeded to occupy the turkey as ma
terial guarantee.

PUNT OF ROCKS COLLISION.
FREDERICK, June l9.-The verdict
of the Corozer'sj ury that investigated
the Point of Rocks disaster has been
waited for with the greatest anxiety
by hundreds Of people in this city.

They met at the appointed hour and

Office of Justice Robert Stokes. and
the foreman annouced that they had

THE TURCO-RUSSIAN WAR.
New YORK; June 1S.-A cable dis
patch has the following about the
fight between the Montenegrins and
Turks: On Saturday morning, at
daylight, the advance in Montene-
gro began. The Turkish force num-
bered 10000 men, under the COM
mand Ali Saib. The Montenegrins
had taken up their station at Plana,
5000 strong. About ten O'Clock the
Turkish advance came upon the
Montenegrin pickets, who fell back
to the main body. An hour after
the II battalions of Ali Saib came up
and without hating attacked the
Montenegrin position. During the
eight hours that followed the engage
ment before the detile the fighting

Turks, but in each instance they

CALCULATIONS AS TO THE PLACE
AND TINE OF CROSSING.
LONDON, June 17.-As regards the
European seat of war the principal
point worthy of remark has been the
extraordinary stringency of the pre-
cautions taken by the Russians to
prevent anything Transporting rela-
tive to their operations. Although
the correspondents in Romania num-
Der 800, not one of them has been
able to give any real information
which would assists the formation of
an opinion as to where the Russians
intend to cross the Danube. This in
creased secrecy, taken in conjunction
with the issue of DEGREES for new
loans and large addition to the
army, is interpreted by some SEEM
ingly with good reason, rs sign that
Russia no longer hesitates, and in
portant events may shortly be ex-
pected, as soon as the Danube, which
all accounts agree is falling, is in con-
dition to permit operations. Ofcourse
