Col Thos. A. Scott is of the opinion that no
country can be prosperous where four thou
sand millions of dollars invested in any one
enterprise, as In the railways, remains unpro-
ductive and the only object In pooling COM
petitive business is TO secure just and fair
return to the owners of railway property.
With these divisions of property agreed upon,
the different railroads could depend upon re-.
ceiving certain tribute Of traffic, and would
be able TO operate their roads more eeonom-
ically than If compelled to make all sorts Of
outside expenditures In the way of commits
sions to secure the business. Being thus en-
abled to operate their roads more econom-
ically, they could carry for lower rates for
shippers, the inevitable result being to give
their patrons lower and steady rates.
A Kentucky enthusiast proposes to build a
railroad around the world by way of Alaska
and Kamskatka. He says: 'My plan is for
the United States Great Britain and Russia,
or the capitalists OF these great countries, to
construct this road by the way Of Behring's
Strait Would not this be gfand2 Just imagine
o trip from America to Asia and Europe,
seated in splendid cars, with land under you
and visible all the way, except forty miles
about as far as from Dover to Calais.
Scientists talk about tunneling the Atlantic
ocean, and thus running railroad from
America to Europe; but, sir, that is "a castle
In the air. [ believe this road will yet be
built from Washington to st. Petersburg.
The engineering skill Of Europe and America
WILL like faith, remove mountains ice and
snow. II is uncomfortable, and in my opinion

While the American exodus to Europe has
been larger this summer than in any Of the
few last previous years. the influx OF immi-
grafton TO this country is unusually great,
and there is every prospect Of its increasing.
A large number of emigrants arrived from
Europe during the last week. A considera-
BILE part Of them were Mennonites, and
among tho arrivals there was party of
about eighty Frenchmen, who are on their
way to Texas, in the northern part of which
State they propose to organize a colony.
Notwithstanding the numerous promising
inventions for consuming the smoke and
cnder from bituminous coal, none OF them
have so far got into use rs to be applied gen.
orally to locomotives. The long black trails
of smoke and smut and cinder still follow in
their wake streaming into the windows of the
cars, making an otherwise pleasant railway
ride very uncomfortable In hot weather
Surely the ingenious mechanics among the
bright railroad men ought to be able to find
remedy for what is o serious annoyance
-
A question which is exciting much interest
In the English banking world is whether the
accounts Of the Bank Of England ought to be
periodically published. Prof. Bonamy Price
says yes and Mr.. Norman, high authority
In his evidence before committee Of the
House of Lords on commercial distress in
1s4S said that although the publication
may have its inconvenience, it is best upon
the whole to let the exact truth be known
On the other hand. Mr.. Gibbs, ex-governor of
the bank is of contrary opinion. A banker
is, ipso factO, disqualified TO b6 gUv6tn0f ii
the bank.

MR.. HAYES need not barricade the
windows of his temporary home, nor arm
poor Key with horse pistol. 1t will not
require an army to clear the White House
oflthe presence of Fraud. II willnot re-
qiiire even a corporal's guard. A single
Deputy Marshal, armed with paper on
which the will of people is written, can
do all the work. This is the difference
between this country and Mexico.-N. I
Sun.
To be sure. But Mr.. Hayes denies that
he made the foolish and reckless state
ments that "Gath" says he did. So we
are left In doubt as to who tells the truth

WHAT ALABAMA DEMOCRATS
BELIEVE.

MONTGOMERY, May 31.--The Demo-
cratic State Convention adjourned sine
die last night. The platform contends
that the Democratic and Conservative
party is the only party of the Constitu-
ton and to its patriotic efforts is due the
final defeat ofthe Radical leaders in their
wicked designs to destroy the peace and
prosperity OF both races that the tinan-
cial distress is due to prohigate expendi-
ture, fraudulent practices and class leg
islation; that we denounce the methods,
measures and men responsible for Great
ing new and useless Offices. The platform
congratulates the people Of the State up
on the reign of goodwill and reconcilia-
ton, and while renewing pledges of pro.
lection to the colored people recognizes
that these great results can only be main
tanned by the union of the great govern
ing race, the white people of the land.

FINANCIAL ToPIcs.-Dispatches from
Washington give the following items:
Secretary Sherman has decided to carry
out to the letter the provisions of the bill
prohibiting the further contraction OF
legal-tender notes., and will issue new
notes in place of S1,6O6,096 which had al
ready been punched preparatory to de-
struction. The outstanding circulation,
therefore, will not be reduced during the
present month. Itseems to be the gener-
al opinion at Washington that the above
mentioned bill is the end OF financial
legislation for the session.

The Disaster i'm the English
Channel.

The sinking of the iron-clad Grosser
Kurfurst, Grand Elector,) flagship OF the
German squadron of evolution, by col
lsion with the iron-clad Kaiser Wilhelm,
in the English Channel, yesterday, adds
another TO the list of great disasters for
which British waters have been famous.
In this unfortunate instance the collision
took place in broad daylight, in a calm
sea, and the necessary inference is that
1t was the result of blundering seaman
ship. The statement of an eyewitness
is to the effect that the Kurfurst ported
her helm to clear a passing bark, and the
Wilhelm pulling too suddenly aport
struck the Kurfurst forward of her miz-
zenmast. The loss OF lives by this catas-
trophe is estimated at three huDdred or
more. and it naturally recalls many great
events of the kind, late and remote,
among which may be enumerated the
| following:
BY the sinking of the British frigate
ROYAL George, off Spithead, in 1882, Ad-
| miral Kempenfeldt and 600 men were
drowned. The Britishfrigates st. George
and Defense were wrecked off the coast
of Jutland, in 1911, involving together a
loss of 1000 lives. The British troopship
Birkenhead struck upon pointed pin
nacle rock, of Simon's bay, near Cape
Town, Africa, on February 26, 1852, and
| 454 of the crew and soldiers perlshed
The British troop-ship Lady Nugen'
foundered in hurricane, in May, 1854
| and 400 lives were lost. The boiler of the
| Austrian man-of-war Radetzky exploded
on February 20, 1869, in the Adriatic Sea
and 342 lives were lost. The Umtec
States steamer, Oneida, was run dowI
by the British steamer Bombay, in the
Japan Sea, in January, 1870, and l15 Off
GERS and men were st. The British tur
ret-ship Captain foundered near Cap
Finistere, France, on September Z, 1870
and 500 hives We're lost, including Captain
Cowles, the designer of the vessel o.
November "a, 1877, the United State
Isteamer Huron was wrecked on the coas
of North Carolina, and 104 lives wer
lost, and ON the same coast little late
the steamer Metropolis foundered, AM
over hundred lives lost. The last dis
aster of the kind was the foundering c
the British troop-ship Eurydice,. off tn
Isle of Wight, on March "A of this veal
T and the loss of over 800 lives.

JUNE L. 1878.

BUILDING 1MPRovEMENTs.-Dur
the past month permits were taken out
for the erection of fifty-five new buildings
within this city, fifty-two of which were
for dwellings, being an increased Of two
over the previous month (April,) and an
increased of thirty-one over May, 1877.
This shows very rapid increase and is
a hopeful sign that the tide of improve
ment is not merely temporary; but that
the investments being thus made are the
result of a carefulsurvey ofthe field most
likely to yield good returns. The pay
may not be so rapid, or so large In profit;
but it is likely to be sure, and may prove
far more profitable than anticipated.
There is great deal of croaking; and
many of the croakers may find them
selves left far behind as the tide advan-
ces. 1t is not at all unlikely that the pre-
sent movement will result in various
changes. Localities that now possess
advantages and pay good rents may find
new localities competing for tenants; and
new and pleasant houses may be offered
at lower rate of rents that will super
sede the old places. Houses can be bull
now for about 20 per cent of what they
cost ten years ago. During the last two
months more than one hundred permit
have been taken out and this rate ma,
be kept up for the entire year. If 81
an addition of q considerable town will
be made to the city. And the next year
should business revive as it has in forme
times after crisis, we might fairly hops
to see the list of permits for new build
ings in 1879 run up to one thousand.

THE CoRoNER's sOFFICE.-A great COM
plant is made of the expense to the
county of this office, arising from the
frequent cases of post-mortem examina-
ton by physicians. We presume this
complaint is just in some particulars.
There has no doubt been cases where ply
sicians have been called in when it was
not necessary. At least the charge has
been made, or openly and boldly insinu-
ated.
1t devolves on the Coroner as a duty
to use care to ferret out crime ;
but it does not follow that all future Cor
oners win be Influenced to have such ex-
amihatlons made when not necessary
nor does it follow that any collusion or
arrangement will be effected by any Cor
oner, who is now before the Democratic
party for nomination, with any physi
clan whereby the county will be put to
extraordinary expense for services OF
physicians. 1t is unfair that any sucl
feet. In any event it would be better if the
Levy Court would put some limit to
this business. The cost for post n,orter
examinations might be fixed at certain
sum, and other fees limited. The county
will not be allowed to be defrauded lon
ger if it has been heretofore, and we ar,
not sure that it has. Indeed we doub
the charge altogether, and believe it il
put in circulation in sly way only t,
injure the chances of the Democrats a
the election.
