The World says: A dispatch brings
the not unexpected news that Welsh,
who has represented the United States
so upobtrusively and so intelligently at
the Court of st James; has been led by
domestic affection to resign. The Adj
rniDistration will be fortunate if it can

The New York Tribune and CONNER
cial Bulletin each sharply attack the
railroad n1onopolists, declaring that the
people Of the east are profoundly
stirred by the action of the railroad
magnates and the recent developments
OF the Legislative investigating Com
mittee. The Bulletin says: ut is safe
to say that the mercantile, agricultural
and manufacturing classes regard the
question of railroad WRONGS as more
vitality affecting their interests than any
