COxKLING. THE NARROW.

South Of the Potomac there will be no
contested Presidential election next year.
Some men may contest the Office Of Sheriff,
though even this has been forbidden by
murder. A Congressional district may see
a boiling Democrat strive against the regu-
lar nominee, but no Presidential election
worthy the name will be allowed III the
Southern Republican States. Whoever
may be the Democratic nominee, every
electoral vote in the South will be regis
tered for him.
Thus sopke Roscoe Conkling at the Sara
toga Convention. and he went on to say
that there is one-half of the territory Of
the Union in which no Republican eandi-
date can entertain the slightest hope Of
success" Well, Roscoe, while about it,
why didn't you tell us how much territory
there is North in which no Democratic
candidate lean entertain the slightest hope
Of success" How about Vermont and
Massachusetts,, and Michigan and Mime
sofa, and Illinois and Iowa, and Kansas
and Wisconsin? Did you ever hear of a
Democrat being elected to an important
Office in any Of these States during the last
twenty years? Is there one chance in a
million that a single Democratic electoral
vote will be returned from any Of the States
named in the coming Presidential election?
If not, why not? Is it any greater sin
for ten Southern States to so Democratic
thar for ten Northern States to go Repub-
lean? Such shallow sophistry as Senator
Conkling put forth at Saratoga is unworthy
a man occupying his exalted position in
the councils Of the nation. If he wanted
to rise above the mere demasogue, why did
h not depreca.e ~sectionalism in both
parties and, ignoring all geographical
lines, appeal to his fellow citizens to unite
on common ground for the general good,
irrespective of section or local bias Utter
ances like these would have partaksn some
what of the eminations of greatness, an
element in which we are free to confess
the New York Senator seems to be sadly
wanting.

RAILROAD MATTERS IN THE
EAST.

A telegram published in the SENTINEL
of yesterday stated that the New York
Chamber of Commerce, acting in concert
with various Boards Of Trade in the lead
ing commercial cities Of the East, had
taken actively in hand the question of
Congressional legislation to regulate rail-
road transportation throughout the United
States. This is a step in the right direc-
ton. and the SENTINEL hopes to see the
matter pushed TO q successful issue in the
next session OF Congress. Ii is to Congress
that We must look for relief from the ex-
actions and unjust determinations Of the
great trunk lines, for Congress alone pos
sesses the power under the Constitution to
regulate between the States.
While these efforts are being made to con-
troll the roads already in operation, it will
be gratifying 10 the people Of the Far West
to know that there is 4 prospect Of another
through line TO the Pacific coast. A St.
Louis dispatch - the New York Herald,
under date Of the 9th instant, promulgates
the following:
There is good reason to believe that pri-
vate meetings Of railroad men have been
held here ant in New York since the con-
sOLla:Ion Of the Wabash, and the St. Louis,
Kansas CRY and Northern roads, with a
view to providing another through line to
the Pacific coast, in opposition to Jay
Gould's scheme. The most feasible plan
ms TO be-and the one most in favor IS
for the Pennsylvania, Pan Handle and
Vandalia roads, now forming one line from
New York TO the Mississippi river, to make
permanent connection with the Missouri
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, and thus make o through route from
ocean to ocean, equal or superior to any
now in operation. TIL matter is under
stood to be in the hands Of prominent
railroad managers in the East, and the
probabilities are that some definite steps
Will soon be taken IN this direction.
Tie Black Hills region Is also opeiul Of
direct rail connection with the East in the
near future. A late number 0. the Black
Hills Pioneer says:
It will be Of interest to our readers to
know that the great corporation, the Chi
c&gD and Northwestern Railroad Company,
has fully determined to extend its Mime
sofa line at once TO : g Missouri river a.
Fort Pierre, aud TO build the line imme-
diately from Fort Pierre to Deadwood. We
understand the line is already graded and
the iron laid nearly to the James river in
Dakota, and that the surveying parties are
now locating the line between the James
river and Fort Pierre; and that it is ex-
pected that the entire line 10 the Missouri
river will be finished and trains running
over it by the first Of January, 1880. By
this route the stage ride Will be reduced 70
about 1875 miles. and it is hoped that by
the 4th Of July next, the cars OF the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway will be
running INFO their depot at Deadwood.

PUBLIC OPINION,
As Shown by The Press of the ga.
cific Coast.

CHINESE INGRESS.
From the Enterprise.
All ports Of China except three are prac-
tically barred against foreigners. Let the
same rule apply toward Cinnamon in
America. Let moral Boston have the
nastiest ones, those on whom a ton Of saw
ing grace could not whiten a square inch.
Let greedy, commercial New York take the
next lot. Let A-r rich manufacturers en-
ploy them until the stencil from their habi-
tatlons drives the rich employer from his
house, and white men become too poor to
purchase his goods. Let Charleston re-
ceiye the remainder. until the planters who
employ them find themselves unprotected
by white neighbors, and until Chinese
vices destroy the manhood of the Southern
youth. We on this side can afford to watch
patiently the process which will bring to
Us yindicatjon.

PRESIDENTIAL P~EoPHECIEs.
From the Bodie Standard.
We expect to see the contest for the
Presidential nomination on the part Il the
Republicans between Blaine and Sherman,
and on the part # the Democrats between
Thurman and Bayard. A campsign be-
tween Blaine and Thurman would be a
brisk one. and such III event at this dis
