Railroad Statistics,

Reviewing the railroad business of 1878, the
Railroad Gazette dates the point of improve
ment at the second half of 1877, and says
it has slowly bettered ever since The great
crops of last year rescued railroads from the
duIlest period of the dull times and the
greater crops OF this year assure them COLI
tinuance of profitable business. The com
petition of water routes has prevented
realization of profits commensurate with
the increased freightage, but as less cutting
of rates is probable this winter fair returns
are probable. During the year there have
been two thousand two hundred and sixty
three miles of new road constructed, which
is about one hundred and fifty miles more
than were built in 1870. The new lines are
chiefly in the West, and have been con-
structed with more regard to the needs of
the country than formerly characterized
railroad building. The economies that have
been introduced in management are ex-
pected TO hold with improved business, and
give returns that will compensate for past
losses. The Gazette says in conclusion
The year ends quite favorably, with al
most the certainty of a large traffic for q
large part of the roads until after the next
harvest, and with good prospect of max
ing much more out of it than was done las
year. Rates are likely to remain low, how
ever, and expenses are not likely to decrease
by lower prices for materials or labor. Thu
prospect is of greater stability than has beef
known recently. The country seems heade'
in the right direction, and most are satisfies
with that, even if the progress made /
very slow"

For the Thoughtful.

Some one has furnished us with the follow
ing, as appropriate to the season; How
pleasant it would be to change wornout
bodies for new ones, to have a fresh set of
nerves, an entirely new set of muscles, an
other skin, heart without flaw in it, per-
feet lungs, sound vision, healthful appetites !;
to let the old year bear away with it infrmity
and disease and pain, and leave everyone in
the full strength! of ripe manhood and wom-
anhood But if every night sleep "knits
up the raveled sleeve of care" if every day
waste of muscle and of nerve is made good
with nutritious food, if sunlight and air and
water do their part in renewing the wasted
tissues, aud to-morrow's supply of strength
is not exhausted by to-day's labor, all will
have been done that can be done to mend the
feshy vestments. Pleasantest of all would
it be on the New Years dawning to feel that
all bad habits are removed to awake with
characters bright and strong and lovely; to
awake not to be irritable any more, or in-
temperate, or uncharitable, or gloomy, or
selfish. Hence, here more than anywhere
else, there is a chance for mending. This
is good time to look over ones self and to
change, if need be, the thread of his life.
Resolutions and VOWS are of little avail, but
actions tell. He who leaves off a bad habit
and begins to form good one, who "ceases
to do evil and learns to do WE'LL" begins the
process of mending. Bodily garments get
past mending, bodies themselves wear out
and die, but in character, at is never too
late to mend"

What the North Will Do.

Southern newspapers and politicians, not
caring or daring to deny, but rather inclined
to boast that the negro vote has been sup
pressed or overcome by violence and fraud,
are insolently asking, "Well, what are you
Northern people going to do about it ?" In
reply to this question the New York Kde-
pendent tells the Southern bulldozers that
their program of controlling the national
government by a solid %" alliance with the
worst elements at the North is perfectly I'M
derstood is this part of the country. 1t
says; And as to this program, we take the
liberty of telling the Richmond State, and
the democratic party generally, whether at
the South or the North, that Northern and
Western public sentiment is being rapidly
awakened to the peril of the situation, and
as rapidly consolidated into a strong and
unyielding purpose that the South shall not
gain the national prize it so eagerly covets.
The majority of the people are not yet pre-
pared to commit the fortunes of this great
country to those whom they so recently had
to conquer on the field of battle. One of
the things they are going to do about it
is to keep the government in their own
hands; and for this reason, judging from
present indications, the Republican party
will in 1880 choose the majority of the
House of Representatives and elect the Presi-
dent. The solid South, with its red-shirted
riflemen, its ballot-box suffers, and its bull
DOING processes, has entirely overdone the
business and now keen, sharp, and ex-
cited public sentiment at the North declares
with emphatic utterance that this political
conspiracy shall be rebuked by decisive
defeat. A solid South presages and means
a solid North. Yes, gentlemen, that is what
we are going to do about it, We are 60
ing to think about it. We are going to talk
and write about it. We are going to vote
about it. We are going to keep the govern
ment out of your hands, and to keep you in
the minority. We are going to enact laws
within the limits of the constitution, if need
be, for the protection of the rights of all
the people, and we are going to see to it
that these laws are enforced. We are not
going to let any party rule this country that
will not deal justly by the political rights of
the negro. We believe in free discussion
and equal rights, and we mean to have
both and we mean to fight the battle for
freedom and justice until victory crowns the
struggle, and every man in this broad land
can vote as he pleases, with no danger of
having his brains shot out by bull-dozer.
We are very much in earnest on this sub
ject; and if you think we are not, you are
gravely mistaken"

The Afghan War.

In the current number of the Nineteenth
Century, standard English magazine, Sir
Henry Rawlinson unquestionably makes the
best possible justification of the war Of con-
quest which his country is now making
upon Afghanistan The story is briefly
that the Ameer of Afghanistan for years
endeavored to cement friendly alliance
with Great Britain; his overtures were
treated sometimes with decorous refusal,
more often with contemptuous neglect,
which finally succeeded in convincing him
that Great Britain was fully capable of max
ing use of him for time, to further her
own interests, only at the last to leave him
in the iurch. When this state of mind had
been sedulously cultivated and carefully
made chronic, Great Britain changed her
rulers and Herewith her methods, abandoned
the patronizing policy and coolly requested
Shere Ali to give her absolute control of his
foreign policy. He declined. Russia, or to
speak more accurately, some Russians, were
considering scheme for threatening Eng
lands Indian border, at the time when war
between Russia and England was imminent;
a scheme the execution of which was GER
tainly never attempted, and which was prob
ably found to be altogether beyond Rus
sias resources" Whereupon, by way of
quieting Shere Ais extraordinary suspi-
cons and convincing other Indian princes
of the general justice and equity of her
rule, Great Britain commenced this inva-
sion, which even General Rawlinson con-
cedes was without justification according
to the international law of the West" Not
even Mr.. Gadstone's eloquent but fruitless
appeal presents so strong an indictment
against the Great Britain's treatment of the
neighbor whose only crime was her unfor-
tunate proximity to Christian empire as
this extraordinary defense Ahab has taken
Naboth's vineyard because he imagined that
Jehosaphat across the border had an evil

Englands' Business Troubles.

The strikes and failures in Great Britain
are rapidly increasing, and it would seem
that the United Kingdom is about entering
upon more bitter experience than that from
which our own country is just recovering.
Out of the depression of trade the capitalist
sees no way but by reduction of the price
OF labor, and labor sees no way to stop it
but by going on strike. Then the capitalist
suffers little and the laborer a great deal.
In nine cases out of ten capital wins, and
the laborer returns, grumblng, 10 work. In
the cotton, coal and iron trades the struggle
is very bitter. The coal miners of South
Yorkshire are preparing to resist reduc-
ton of pay, and the amalgamated engineers
are ready to resist an attempt to increase
their hours of labor All these are symp-
toms of the depression Of business, of which
a further idea may be formed by the record
of failures for 1873. They are in all l5O59,
or 4,037 more than in 1877. OF these 2,6i3
are of large concerns, the Glasgow Bank,
with its thirty million dollars of deficit,
heading the list. No symptom of recovery
from this state of affairs is yet visible.
Wages pairing and profit shaving may help
English trade a trihe, but its great days are
gone beyond recovery. 1t can no longer
monopolize the markets of the world, and
where it has recently lost ground another
has taken its place. 1t is Americas turn.

REPUBLICAN vIcronY.-The SENATOR'S

REPUBLICAN VIcToRY,-The Senatorial
elections in France, Sunday, resulted in
great Republican triumph. Of forty-seven
conservators senators whose terms expired,
only thirteen were reelected, but all the re-
firing Republican Senators were again
chosen. Fifteen conservative aud sixty-four
Republicans were elected. The Republican
majority in the Senate will be about fifty.
seven. The electoral statistics wonderfully
corroborate the reports of progress made by
the Republican party in France. Fifty.six
conservatives elected in 1876 received 10, 6i0
votes, whereas in 1879 they have only OBJ
tanned 3,20S; nineteen Republicans elected
in 1876 received 5000 votes, and in 1879
they have received 20,262. There are thir-
teen vacancies in the Chamber of Deputies
in consequence of deputies being elected To
| the Senate.

The New MAINE GovERNoR.-Dr. Garce-
lon, the new democratic governor-elect of
Maine, is physician of good standing. He
has been president of the Maine Medical
Society, and during the war held the posi-
ton of Surgeon-General. He was one of the
original Republicans, but left the party at the
time of the impeachment of Andrew John
son, and has since been democratic candi-
date for Congress, and enjoyed other honors
at its hands. During last summers cam
paign, DIR. Garcelon took very decided
position in favor of hard money. He has
recently expressed the opinions that an ire
deemable currency brings woe to any coun-
try, and that the resumption of specie pay
ments was desirable as well as necessary
lie was supported by the united strength OF
the Republicans in both bodies of the legis
lature.

Mysteries of the Ballot Box.

On the passage of the Blaine resolution in
the Senate, providing for an investigation
into the alleged election abuses at the South,
the leading democrats in the South and else
where were forward to deny all ground for
complaint, and stoutly maintained that the
elections in South Carolina even were as
fair and free as in any Northern state. But
as the evidence of fraud and outrage thick
ems on every hand, corresponding change
of demeanor is observable. Mr.. +. W..
Mackey, who was counted out in the Second
Congressional district of South Carolina,
publishes a letter. full of statements and
comparisons, which carries with it con-
vction of its truthfulness. He distinctly
charges that in two precincts of single
ward in Charleston the ballot boxes were
"stuffed " with tissue paper tickets in dia-
mond type, to the number of thirty-six hun
dred; that in some wards, where the polling
places were said to be so obstructed through
the entire day by negroes as to render it
almost impossible for a white democrat to
vote, there were, according to the count,
large democratic majorities, while in the re-
mainder the democratic vote nearly equalled
that of the Republicans; that in cases
where the vote exceeded the poll list the
superfuous tickets were withdrawn by the
sense of touch, with the result that nearly
all tickets so removed were of the larger OF
Republican variety; that the increase of the
vote of Charleston over the same cty's vote
in the Presidential election of 1876 was
twenty-five per cent, which cannot be hon
estly explained, and that in eleven out oil
the nineteen boxes in Orangeburg county
the tickets exceeded the poll lists by nearly
two thousand. The democratic explanation
of these apparently truthful figures will be
| awaited with interest

subject is one of confessed difficulty; and l
shall deem it fortunate contamination,
should you be able to remove what is felt by
many to be an injustice, by the adoption of
any practicable means of relief for one class
which shall not impose an undue weight
upon another. 1t must be remembered, on
the other hand, that, in complex systems of
taxation, no radical changes can be suddenly
adopted without working much temporary
hardship and even injustice, and that such
changes, to be permanent, must be gradual"
