RQUAL RIGHTS.

The Georgia Constitutional Conven-
ton. now in session at Augusta, has
adopted bill of rights which reeeg-
ni1ss all races and pledges all protec.
ton in their rights of citizenship. The
bill also prohibits imprisonment
for debt and whipping for crime. 1t is
little remarkable that the people of
Georgia, who have been represented
by campaign orators in New England
as semi-barbarians. incapable of self
government, and disposed. if not pre-
vented by Federal interference. to re-
enslave the negro. should adopt a bill
of rights much more liberal in its pro-
visions than the constitution of some
Of the New England States.

DIFFERENT OPINIONS.

The Virginia Enterprise 0: July %,
in an article on the railroad strike, ex-
pressed the opinion that it could have
bean avoided if the great corporations
had proceeded upon the idea that their
employees are entitled to respect and
confidence and the highest possible
wages.
The Virginia Enterprise of July 20
expresses the opinion that the best
way to prevent strikes and suppress
mob risings is to have large standing
army.
The first is supposed to be the
opinion of the editor of the Enterprise
whose warm heart throbbed' for the
woes of men driven to desperation by
the cries of their starving families for
bread. The other opinion is supposed
to have emanated from the heartless
owners of the Enterprise. whose SYM
pathies are with the corporations.

ST. LOUIS, July 80.
The situation is unchanged. Every
thing is quiet. and traffic in passengers
and freight is fully resumed The
most notable incident has been. an
application to Judge Jones of the
Criminal Court, for writ of habeas
corpus to command Chief of Police
MoDonough to show cause why he
holds Albert Clinton. leader of the
workingmen' party and Secretary of
the Internationals. in custody. Judge
Jones granted the writ, and made it
returnable on Wednesday. Circuit
Attorney Reach has addressed letter
to Chief McDonough, explaining the
offense of Clinton, and quoting the
law applicable to the case, from which
it appears that the prisoner and others,
now under arrest, are guilty of felony,
iinstead of simple misdemeanor, the ex-
IRENE penalty for which is five years
in the penitentiary and $4,000. fine.
In East st. Louis the dav passed off
quiet. and railroad business has been
very brisk--trains coming and going
in all directions. Several arrests were
made by United States Marshal Roe of
persons charged with interfering with
the orders and mandates of the q. S.
courts, in connection with strikes.
Among those arrested was John B.
Carol, Deputy Marshal, of East ST.
Louis. There will be a parade to-
morrow of all the citizens and soldiers

BALTIMORE, July 80.
At the inquiry concerning the riot
here on the goth inst, police officer
Jameson testified that he saw two SOL
diers raise their guns on Front street
and fire. At this moment he saw one
of the soldiers struck with rock and
fall. Officer HALEY saw a soldier hit
with brick and fall. He then heard
the officer in command give his squad
orders to fire, and they fired. He saw
a soldier leave the ranks and shoot

Several miners struck to-day for an

Words of MiSlInln.

Though charity may make your purse
lighter one day, yetit viii make it heavier
another.
Moderation is the silken string run
ming through the pearl chain of vir-
tues.
We should esteem virtue, though in a
foe; and abhor vice, though in friend.
To enjoy life, you should be little
miserable occasionally. Trouble, like
cayenne, is not very agreeable IN itself,
but it gives great zest to other things.
Every man, in his more serious mo-
ments, must confess that he has done
few things in the course of his life be
would not wish undone; and experience
must have shown him that the things he
most feared would have been better than
those he most feared for.
The reason why there are so few in
stances Of heroism in modern times is the
total decay of political virtue; we are
broken up into small parties, and as
sosiate only with our families, thus for
getting the public, in our regard for
private interest. The ancients were
taught rather to live for the benefit OF
the whole community.
The summer passes over the furrow,
and the corn springs up; the sod forgets
the flower of the past year; and the bat
tlefield forgets the blood that has been
split upon the turf; the sky forgets the
storm; and the water the noon-day sun
that slept upon its bosom. ALI Nature
preached forgetfulness. It's very order
is the progress of oblivion.

How jay Gould Travels.

Not long ago a New York Tribune
reporter waylaid special train which
was transporting Jay Gould and Sidney
Dillon out west on their annual tour of
inspection Of the Union Pacific and its
branches. He found these railway
princes in one of the latter-day combina-
ton cars, which serve for sleeper, draw
ing-room and dining-car. Mr.. Gould had
with him shorthand secretary and q
telegraphic operator. Mr.. Dillon only
his shorthand secretary Mr.. Gould
explained to the reporter that every hour
in the twenty-four when absent from
New York he was in communication with
friends and brokers of that city. His
telegraph operator had all the necessary
instruments attached to one Of the tables
in the car, with ground and connecting
wires running through one panel Of the
Car. On arriving ct a terminal station,
Mr.. Gould notified his friends in New
York upon what line of road he would
be the next twenty-four hours. Should
they desire to communicate with him
the despatch was directed to the care of
the train dispatcher of that road, who,
upon its receipt, knew just where Mr..
Gould's special was, and dropped the
message down one station in advance.
Tse operator at that station would sig
nal the special and deliver the message
Upon it's receipt the special would i'm
mediately pull out, and Mr.. Gould
would consider and digest the message.
II it needed reply, he would dictate to
his shorthand assistant, who would
translate for the operator. When the
reply was ready the engineer would be
signalled, the train stopped, and in two
minutes the main wire would be hauled
down, cut, attached to the instrument,
and the message winging its way to New
York. To twist the wire together, let it
up, and start the train was only the work
OF another minute. Mr.. Gould kindly
added that he used his private signiture,
which insured right of way for his mes
sages, which were always in cipher, OF
course Mr.. Dillon availed himself OF
Goulds facilities, whenever necessary,
! for his business,
