Considerable excitement has been caused in telc-
graph and general business circles by bill which
senator JONES' of Nevada is about to introduce In the
Senate. IL allows the railroads possessing lines OF
telegraph wires to transact general telegraph bust
ness. and company has been formed with a capital
of $1000O000 to carry ont the scheme 1t proposed
that each railroad should capitalize its telegraph line
and hand IL to the new company, receiving as
payment scrip of the company. This scheme would
enable tho railroads TO do their business at very re-
duced rate and would enable the outside public To
have their messages sent at lower rate than they can
at present. Large merchants much IN favor OF
the plan and the president Of the st. Louis Board OF
Trade is stated to have applied for 100000 of the
stock.

end to grave robbing so prevalent in Ohio

mas invented for this purpose cheap and
easily exploded torpedo, which Is fixed to the
coffin and which explodes when the resurrec-
ZIONIST attempts to open it In order to remove
the dead body. Several Of these torpedoes can
be attached to the same coffin, lest the first
might fail in it's mission of blowing the
ghoul into pieces, 1t is thought that mere
knowledge that this torpedo had got into
general use would suffice to break up the
graye-robbing business, now SO common In
Ohio. An invention like this can scarcely be
regarded as superhuous. 1t is strange
commentary, however, on the civilization OF
this country that such protection to the
dead should be Necessary.

strongly against 1t. The idea suggested by
the Commercial, that unless its plan be
adopted, many statesmen Cox ct all will
be forced into political retirement, is all
very well, but will never cause much regret
in fact, such Is the supertluity of so-ealled
statesmen in this country just now, that we
can well spare hundreds Of them for agri-
cultural life. The Commercial being an
Ohio paper and Ohio the mother Of mod
ern American statesmen, we can well see
why 1t advocates this change. Tt is q
surprise, however, to see the journals of
other States following in its wake and ap-
proving this suggestion because it prevails In
England. In England there are few if any
local interests; any man can represent q
borough in Yorkshire just rs well as one In
Cornwall. Then, too, these papers forget that
the result Of the English system is to make
seats in Parliament, the most costly luxuries
Of the tight little island" If a congressional
seat cost as in England $5O,000-we
hardly think that many Of them would be
filled with statesmen. The Commercial s

groes no less than the whites.
All the WHILE ever since their first expert
ences with the Freedmen's Bureau and the
sad lesson of the Freedmen's Bank, the ne-
groes have distrusted these people, and In all
matters Of business they have sought the ad-
vice of and given their confidence to Their old
masters. It was only in politics that they
distrusted them. Their conversion to the
Democratic party is due entirely to the dawn
ing belief that even In politics those whom
they know and whose interests are Identical
with theirs, are to be trusted as In all other
things. The Democrats have nothing to ap-
prehend from their conversion. Nothing to
fear from their restless ambition. Whatever
may happen In the future, whatever divisions
may arise among our own people, 1T Is at least

After the Democratic Legislature re-
arranged the congressional districts Of Ohio,
the other day, 1t was found that all the prom
inent Republicans of the State Garfield, Fos-
ter, Cox, ct al, had been left in overwhelm-
ingly Democratic districts. It was claimed
shat this was purposely done by the Demo-
Gratis in order to get these men out Of the
way. This may be SO; it is q trick as old as
gerrymandering, and one that has been prac-
ticed by every party in power in this country.
The Cincinnati Commercial was much
troubled and quite indignant at the conse-
quences Of the new Democratic apportion-
ment and the disappearance from public life OF
several of Ohio's illustrious sons and began an
earnest warfare against the present congress
ional district system, and in favor of the sys-
tenn prevailing in Europe, which permits man
u To become a candidate for the legislature in
ssny district he chooses. ''The laws do not
require," the Commercial says, "that repre-
sentative shall reside in the district he repre-
sents. The custom making it imperative that
representative should be q resident of his
district should be broken up. There is too
much local representation; it tends to the
policy of small bargains Such general

The bitter Is sometimes bitten. Many Of
those small towns and villages that showed
such eagerness, animus and precipitancy in
embargoing against this city are begin
ming to reap some of the evils and disadvan-
tages Of the yellow fever panic they
have inaugurated, The Minden Democrat

port and the little parish seat Of Webster

burg. which refuses all communication with
New Orleans has been even worse treated,
those very towns which Joined it in an embar-
go against our city declining its &C.
auaintance altogether and quarantining it as
well as New Orleans. The terror, the panic
prevailing In Vicksburg can scarcely be de-
scribed; it shows itself in laws which even
the Vicksburg papers acknowledge are harsh,
while the Herald Is sprinkled all over, as on
the eve Of an exciting election, with squibs
warning all persons away from the city, and
threatening those sick of the fever with ga
heavy fine and Imprisonment" and other dire
punishments.
Mobile appears temporarily triumphant.
The panic however, at that town has aroused
the alarm and suspicion Of It's neighbors,
who seem to think that there must be some
fire to all this smoke. It is not at all sur
prising, therefore, to read in the Meridian
Mercury communications from panic-stricken
Alabamians and Mississippians about to visit
the Gulf City on q picnic, asking the editor
whether he thinks it would be safe for them to
venture to Mobile, and whether they would
risk catching the yellow fever in doing SO.
1t is not astonishing that panic-stricken
persons and cities should have acted as I'M
wisely as those towns that have embar-
COED New Orleans have done In their pre-
cpitancy and terror. That they have acted
TO their own injury we think they will find
out In a yery few DAYS.
