The Missouri counties affected by The late
decision Of the United States respecting rail
road debts, finding that they cannot escape
the payment Of these debts by Reputation,
propose to relieve themselves somewhat from
this heavy burden by rounding their bonds at
y lower rate Of interest, Monroe county. for in
stance, has Just voted for this refundng of its
debt the interest thereon TO be reduced from
the exorhitant rate OF per cent, which the
county has paid In the past, to 7 per cent,
Pike county has followed with similar re-
duetion and II is likely that this rounding will
become general in Missouri. 1t is scarcely
probable that the bondhelders will object to
rcceiving per cent interest, which is certainly
all that money is worth to-day.
O St Louis seems disposed to try this plan.
and as a part Of its debt falls due in few
months it will have an opportunity of deter
mining whether American cities generally are
not paying too high q rate OF interest, and
whether they cannot borrow money to-day at
a much lower rate than they did half
dozen Faaars ago. New York also will test this
Seuestion, ii Is paying rs high as per cent

scored quite number Of victories. In Che
m''ng county the two old srties united and
formed 9 fusion ticket, In opposition TO the
treenbackers, but were badly beaten In a m A.
loilty OF the towns. In Corning similar flu
sion ticket was beaten by the Labor party.
Even III syracuse the Labor-G .reenbaek party
lost the election by very small majority
while they distanced the Democrats or
course these petty elections mean nothing
predict nothing. They show, however, that
the Greenbaek and Labor parties have not
disappeared from the field as rapidly az Ii
was thought they would, and that they have
really perfected some sort Of organization
That will enable them TO go Into The fall cleo
tions and help to unsettle politics.

While bills innumerahle for the creation of
now parishes are pouring into our Legislature.
that Of Mississippi is pursuing the contrary
tack, and proposes to abolish a number Of
supcriluous counties hegotten during Radical
rulo. II has been proposed to begin with the
counties Of Colfax, Lincoln and Sumner. be-
cause they represent unfortunate events and
names in the history of Mississippi, and be-
cause they are the fruit of carpct-bag rule.
There seems considerable opposition to the
proposed abolition of Lincoln county, however
the Natchez Democrat and other papers think
ing that this would be In bad taste, ill-timed
and unfortunate.
Another county which 1t is proposed to
abolish IS Pearl county on the Pearl river
aud opposite to the parish or st. Tammany
1t ia not on account Of any opposition to the
name that this abolition Is proposed, nor ia it
ON account of the politics of the county.
which has always been solidly Democratic
but il is held that Pearl ia too poor and too
small TO sustain the expenses of governments
It's people are, il is said unanimous for this
abolition, and the county officials themselves
Che sheriff ut their head, are carrying around
the petition for this abolition. Some Loujsi-
ana parishes might follow It's example

Through q motion TO reconsider, Senate,
Robertson has again renewed the question of
faae removal Of the capital TO Baton Rouge
ard IL will DO discussed In the Senate to-day.
The reasons which have been presented for the
removal are Of very remarkable nature
The chief argument ie, that our innocent and
'sinsenhisticated but exceedingly impressible
Legislators will be freer from temp
etation and corruptlng influences at Baton
shaugn than In this wicked city where
'1hete are 50 many rings. combina-
'tions and interests to buy them up or
bamboozle them. 1t seems never 10 have oc-
Cured 10 those OF our friends who advance
this argument that ring which has large
enough interest TO require purchased legisla-
tors could send its lobby TO Baton Rouge with
little more expense than it could organize IL
here, and that there the work would b more
eirectually done.
The second argument was that advanced a
few days ago by Gen Goode This Senator
desired the removal of tho capital that the
Legislature might be exempt from adverse
criticism Of the press. This, 1t will be OBJ
served, is a very powerful argument,
The third argument was that OF the fugitive
Senator from East Baton Rouge Burch, by
a long career Of Radical wickedness. has
made himself 60 obnoxious 20 the people OF
Baton Rouge that he docs not feel comfort
able when he Is amongst them, and he thinks
If he can aid the removal IL will gain full
and free pardon from his constituency for past
otlenses. II will be observed that this IL a
powerful argument with Burch, but IL does
not amount to much with any body else

Tho negro question has Invaded the politics,
of Rhode Island. and threatens to bring ruin
upon the Republiealpparty of that little State.
The Southern negro question has always been
n favorite subject for the Republican Rhode
Islanders to theorizc and become philan-
thropic over, but they never imagined that
the negro would come home to roost and in
wade the politics of their State. Q
Rhode Island is the only State in tho Union
that refuses naturaized foreigners tho right
to vote unless possessed Of property. while it
grants the elective franchise to negro voters
without any condition whatever attached to
1t. Tho Republicans of Rhode Island Thought
TINT in granting the negroes this they had
granted them all they deserved The negroes
thought otherwise. and for number of Years
past have demanded the repeal of a law
making miscegonation a criminal offense and
sentencing the offender to a torn. of years
in the pcnitentiary.
This law created. some time since. a good
deal of feeling in Rhode Island and several
negroes who advocated its repeal too earnestly
were mobbed, particularly in Newport, where
a colored man was dangerously If not,
fatally injured last year for practical def
ance of the law. This law entered largely
into the last State election, the Republicans
promising to repeal it II they succeeded With
the assistance of the coored voters they won
the fight, although the Republican majority
was the smallest for twenty years. A few
days ago, when the miscegenation law came
up for consideration. the Republican members
Of the Legislature voted almost solidly
against repeating it, declaring that the public
opinion of Rhode Island you'd not tolerate
any change In this necessary law The result
is a decided GOODNESS between the Republicans
and negroes of Rhode Island, which will prob
ably result in ending the Republican CONTROL
of that State.

three removals are as bad as one fire, and
there is an element Of truth in the saying.
OF course there are numerous instances
when It ia advisable to move, and q prac.
tical point can be gained by so doing. A
shrewd man, however, will exercise judg.
ment in deciding upon a location, and
when once there, he will, other things

The grass, according TO our granger
friend, Is In splendid condition. The
prospects for the fruit crop are rs good
as ever was known. The fruit Is not yet
far enough advanced to be injured by the

farmers are progressing finely with their
