A more careful reading Of Mr.. Ticket Agent
Boothby's note in yesterdays Daily, reveals the
fallacy of its reasoning. lie claims that our arti
Gle of the day previous was little one-sded. Let
US see. Let us glance at the printed reports oil

they have been to make such liberal reductions on
local fares, which outweigh the advance on
through fares. We will take just one station

Under the recent arrangement OF tariffs, Ban
gor and Boston tickets have ddpanced 81 90 each
Bangor and Portland tickets are reduced so cents
each. The last years report Of the Company
shows the sale of l6. 46S Bangor and Boston tick
cts, and 1884 Bangor and Portland tickets. Tax.
ing the report - . basis. the advance on
Boston tickets will amount to Sl6. 800, and
the reduction on Portland tickets will
amount to S2,692.OO, leaving . net gain
to the railroad company, from one station Of
$l3,7760O! Taking that amount right out Of the
business men and travelling public, starting from
only one station on the line. Make . calculation
OF the smountthe company will receive on accoun,
Of the rise from other stations, and then calculate
the aggregate Of benefit coming TO the dear people
from this mdgnaninous reduction of local rates.
No. no, gentlemen. the whole thing 10 fraud and

Look little farther. For each Boston psssen e
ger. the Maine Central pays to the Eastern or
Boston & Maine Railroads, one dollar and 6f,y
cents; therefore, every passenger who buys .
ticket from Augusta to Boston, pays the
Maine Central three dollars and twsnty Jfps cents
for his passage from Augusta to Portland
more than 1--WE cents per mile. Now then, let US
ask of the gentlemsnly Ticket Agent Of the
Maine Central, is not this q little out Of proper.
ton
In this connection, We note that the Maine
Farmer, unconsciously of course, falls into the
error Of supposing that because the regular fare
from Augusta to Portland 10 82.25, the Maine
Central Company receives but Sl.75 on through
tickets TO Boston. The facts are, - we have
stated them sbove-the Boston roads carry pass
engers between Boston and Portland for 81. so,
and as under the new arrangement the through
fare is $4.75, the Maine Central receives 50 rs
for every passenger between Augusta and Port
land!
Business men are beginning to put these facts
in their pipes to smoke them, and already Boston
capitalists are moving in the direction Of putting
on two steamers the next season, to run between
Boston and the Kennebec. so that our merchants
may have the benefit Of daily line and cheap
transportation. Hasten the day.

The Constitution of Mississippi, Art.
2, Sec 3, declares that "the powers of
=" the government of the State shall be
" divided into three distinct depart
90 ments, and each one of them confded
d" to a separate magistracy, to wit:
E" Those which are legislative to one;
&c those which are judicial to another;
" and those which are executive to an
" other" This feature is common to
the constitution of every State in the
Union, and is necessary to preserve the
checks and balances essential to just and
honest government. Although the Re
publicans adopted and professed to be
governed by the Constitution, it is known
that it was their common practice to vio-
late this provision. This was one OF
the abuses the Democratic party was
pledged to correct when it obtained pow.
er. A correspondent calls the attention
of the Legislature to the subject, and tc
show the incompatibility of the holding
by the same person of Legislative and
Judicial offices, the opinion of Chic
Justice Appleton of the Supreme Cour
of Maine, bearing upon that subject, Ii
cited.
Nothing need be added to the lumi
nous exposition of the law by its abb
expounder. Moreover, the language o
the Constitution itself is so clear and ex
plicit that the wayfarer, though fool
could not err as to the course market
out. If there is any member of tn
Senate, or the House, as the language o
our correspondent implies, who is hold
ing seat in either of those bodies, ant
and is at the time invested with judicia
functions, it is clearly the duty of tn
body concerned to institute proper pro
ceedings and apply the necessary correc
tive without delay. The Democratic
party is pledged to free itself from the
abuses of which it complained in the
Radical administration; but the question
is higher than party. 1t is question
of sound government.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1877-01-11

Both Houses of the Legislature bave
taken action which encourages the hope
that the monstrous apportionment VII
liany that was left as legacy by the
Radical party, will be, if not eradicated,
Invested, without further delay, of some
of its most abhorrent features. The
proper course would be to tear it up
root and branch and permit it no longer
to cucumber the statute book. The sole
motiva of thu carpet bag adventures in
framing it was to entrench themselves in
power. By superhuman effort, after long
suffering by the people, they have been
disl edged. The first step should be
to demolish their Notifications, and to
sow the very ground on which they stood
with salt as perpetual memorial of their
destruction. If the Hayes usurpation
should be accomplished, we may look for
four years of Grantism, and an attack by
all the powers of the Radical Admistra-
ton upon our present Democratic State
Government. The discomftted spoils-
men, marshalled by Hayes, Cameron,
Zach Chandler, Boutwell,, Butler, Ames
& Co., will make an effort to restore
Radical rule in this State, more desperate
and determined than they have ever YET
made. 1t is folly to disguise the truth
from ourselves and it would be treason te
the people whose vital interests are a
stake for their Legislature to neglect tt
make their position secure and to provide
for the worst.
