"FtcuREs," said Dave Baily last night,
"vou't Iie-except in the hands Of rail,
roed osscials, and then they will lie like
she devil" That was forcibly expressed
but loses nome Of its force on account Of
IT. truthfulness.

considered ; provided, Of course, he cares
70 govern himself according to the wishes
Of his constituents.

Nh. GroRaE BAKER's remarks, last even
ing, abounded in such facts. figures and
sound common sense A. will commend
them to our readers. They are unanswer-
able, and should bring the blush Of shame
10 the cheeks OF even . soulless corpora
ton.
THERE il NO installing the temper Of the
people Of Eureka ON the subject Of freights
and fares. The meeting last night was one
Of the largest and most harmonious ever
held within its borders, and it spoke in
terma not lobe misunderstood.
SHERxAN's home organ, the Mansfield
(O.) Herald, uni up his name for Presi-
dent in 1880, and explains that he does it
last the silence Of the Secretsry's home
organ should be misunderstood in the
country at large. The "home organ"
should always boom for the great men.

A KANSAS man rose in church recently
and expressed his doubt as to the existence
Of Heaven, and alleged as his reason, that
be never saw . reference to such q place in
any Of the papers. 1t is evident that man
ought to subscribe for the SENTINEL.

The Quakers are opposed to turning
over the Indian Bureau to the War Depart
ment, and . delegation recently called on
Hayes 10 protest against such action. The
best way out Of the difficulty would be to
turn tho Indians over to the Friends.
CAPTAIN Rock sent q shot home yester-
day. When some one accused him of walk
ing off with the incorporation bill, he re-
piled, good naturally, Eyes, l did walk off
with it. Some one moved to lay it on the
table; they laid it there, and it would have
been there yet in all probability had l not
taken sufficient interest in it to put it in
my pocket" That was neatly said, and
was too crushing to call for a reply.

THE Treasury Department will give the
silver dollar every opportunity of getting
into circulation. During the coming week
IN order will be made announcing that
checks on New York will be exchanged at
any point, and without the cost of rams
p~ortation, for silver dollars. 1t is now
necessary for any n purchasing silver
dollars to send greenbacks to Washington.
The proposed use Of currency checks will
be q more rapid way Of securing the same
end.
GENERAL McCLELLAN's administration as
Governor Of New Jersey has proven more
successful than his military career. The
debt Of that State, which has been reduced
$500, 900 during the past year, now foots
up 81, 1876. 800, against which must be offset
. sinking fund of $1,45s, 1852, SO that the
actual amount to be provided for is $751;
A4s. In view Of this fact, Governor Nc
Clellan proposes = reduction Of one-half of
the State tax.
BIZ reference TO bur telegraphic columns,
It will be seen that our delegation in the
Legislature have dropped the subject Of
incorporation in disgust. They have done
wisely in doing this, for no n seemed 10
care whether the town was incorporated or
not, while there were many who would
have denounced such action. II our citi-
sens manifest so little disposition to deal
with this important subject, they cannot
blame our members should they desire to
steer clear Of such q perplexing problem.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
From the Virginia Enterprise.
As Congress is clothed by the Constitu-
ton with the exclusive power Of regulating
between the States, it seems to
MS that the assumption by = State that the
violation Of one OF its laws beyond its bound
aries may be legally construed to be . viola
ton within its Jurisdiction, would not stand
. constitutional test. 1t is worse than .
waste Of time to pass imperative or uncon-
stitutional laws.
