MATTERS PERTAINING TO 1880.

A report has been received here
that it is the intention of Charles
II. Voorhis. member Of congress
rom the Fifth New Jersey district,
20 resign. He is banker, and has
recently become insolvcnt. lie was
elected last fall by a small map
". in a district that has heretofore
seen Democratic, and if he should
,.csion q Democrat would undoubt-
s.dly be elected in his place. In
shat event the representation OF
New Jersey in congress would pe
,hree Republicans and four Dem
.scrats. In case the election of the
next president was thrown into the

Two. rs the States stand now they
arc O tie counting Indiana-in
which De La Matyr has the casting
rote-as a Democratic State. N-
Mr.. Voolhis' vote is a very i'm
uortant ore, he will doubtless be
,lissuaded from resigning.
There is a good deal of quiet
consultation among Democrats here
as to the propriety of concentrating
Ill their efforts next year on New
York end Indiana, which States, if
carried, will insure them the preSi-
.Icncy. Its thought by many Dem"
,,crats here to be waste OF time
and money to attempt TO carry any
Western State except Indiana.
These men hold that if all the en-
.ergy and money that arc usually
brought to hear by the Democrats
N the soscalled close Northern
States was concentrated in New
York and Indiana it would insure
,bese States 10 the Democracy. and
thus give them the presidency. They
hayc no fears of losing any OF the
southern States. They contend
that all the Southern States will be
carried without the expenditure OF
.tfort, leaving the National com'
nittee to concentrate every speak
err every document and every dol"
lar on New York aud Indiana,
which, if carried. will give them
the presidency without making any
ssfore in any other State. AS a

WHAT MR.. BAYARD DID SAY.

err: "Wbat does the South need in
IT, way of legislation ?" was the
last question.
The answes came emphaticaily ::
The South docs not need legisla-
ton the South needs sympathy
and respect. In my judgment,
what they need is realizing sense
that they are safely and securely
within the Union bound up in its
destirics. in which. they are to share
the blessings as we'll as the burdens
of-hut that they are not to be in
the Union except upon terms thor
ouohly consistent with their self.
respect. Every thing is gained by
an appc al to all that is higher and
better among them, and to close
this spirit Of domination and con-
slant expression Of self conscious
superiority. Sending men down
there to see that the trials are
conducted as they think they ough1
to be-telling them they are on
trial. and all that sort of thing. No
such spirit ought to exist and l

THE RAILROAD SIDE OF THE
QUESTION.

S. I. Gage presented the Central Pa.
oiic side of the railroad q aestion in an
address delivered in the Assembly
Chamber. He had large audience.
and held its attention for nearly thres
hours. He gave a history of the road
from its inception up to the present
time. its relations with the Govern
nent. and claimed that the road had
lived up to all Its obligations. He de-
Tended discrimination on through
freights, arguing that competition cou-
tTolled 10 this as Well as in all other
business. The objections to the Lewis
bill Were stated, Mr.. Gage claiming that
n liberal maximum enabled low mini
mum. and that a maximum of four
cents per ton per mile. if passed,
would become the ruling rate. whereas
now all the principal commodities and
products were carried at an average of
less than two. He most alphabetically
denied the charge that he ever bought
or attempted to corrupt any legislator.
In his business relations as an attorney
of the railroad. At the conclusion of
his remarks he was warmly congratu
lated by many. and during the delivery
was frequently appIauded.

THE INSANE ASYLUM BILL.

The State Senate did good thing
for the taxpayers by defeating the bill
10 build an Insane Asylum in Nevada
Building and furnishing the Asylum
would take at least $50, 600 ont of the
State Treasury. tits not wise just now
TO make such appropriations. The
bullion product of the Comstock is not
one fourth what it was ia the cores
bonding months of 1878, and the reve
nue. from the net proceeds of mines will
be proportionately small. 1t is prob
able that the great burdens of taxation
will have to be borue by other interests
than mining this year and until new
bonanzas are developed in the Com.
stock. If the outlook for the near fu-
ture was brighter in the great bullion
producing mines, then, rs a matter of
State pride, the Legislature could pro-
vide for building An Asylum. but with
the present prospects ii is better to not
crafty that pride by depicting the
Treasury and increasing taxation. As
the Legislature is fast approaching the
limit allowed it by the Constitution. it
ought to passia bill reducing taxation
A bill for that purpose was, we believe.
introduced early in the session by Sena
tor Cassidy, and rafsrred to some CON-
mittee, which appears to'be in no hurry
to report it. The members should not
forget that their constituents expect
them to reduce the rate of taxation as
well as railroad rates. aud as there is
not likely to be any golden arguments
brought to bear against reduction of
taxes. they cannot do less than crafty
them In that respect. ut lie tst
