NEW ENGLAND ROAD DEFEcrs.-Mr. Wil- liam. c. Prime writes to the Jou nal of Com. merce the following sensible suggestions about New England roads:-"I It is a common bar barism of our roads that so little attention has been paid to the danger ensuing from close proximity to railroads. Many railways have been constructed along the lines of old wagon roads, and the two roads still rnn parallel, close together. Innumerable accidents result. The most sober of old horses are liable to be frightened by the rail cars, and many horses will never become accustomed to them. If road part of the expense ought to be the construction of new carriage road at a safe distance from it. The road from West Bethel to Bethel is an example. It crosses the rail track several times in four miles, runs parallel with it long distance close beside it, and is especially dangerous from the blind character of the crossings. In my New England drives have found scores of such places, where tho people live and ride in daily danger, and yet we call this living in a civilized country. In | cities we have men empowered to compel the removal of dangerous walls and structures which may fall and injure people. There is . great necessity in all our country for commis. sions to examine the safety of our public roads, and especially to compel railway companies to make their lines safe, not only to travellers on them, but to travellers near and across them. I have found within week five or six railway crossings in woods, where I could not see up or down the. line to know if train were com. ing, where the carriage road in each case as. cended to the level the rail by a steep sandy pitch up which no horse could@trot. In such case, if train were approaching, 1t would not be heard until the horses heada
 were well up the ascent. Then, # you pull up, the train flashes across in frcnt of you, your frightened horses back down or plunge aside, and the railway denies responsibility for the result, which is likely to be neary or quite as bad as if you were hit by, the engine.
 In the name of all farmers, all men who use
 horses, all who travel or ride for pleasure. I desire to make my protest against this bar barrie style of building American railways, without regard to local rights of road travel"

WARRINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
May II, 70. J

It was a surprise 10 all yesterday,
when the Senate, by decisive vote,
concurred with the the House in the
proposition directing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to use for the payment
of arrears of pensions the eight or ten
millions of money his vaults. held there
to REDEEM fractional currency long
since worn out. 1t was surprising,
not because there was any reasonable
objection to such course, but because
the vote showed willingness to act
upon financial matters. So far as the
pensions are concerned the vote is OF
no consequence, as thare is plenty OF
money in the Treasury to pay them.
That they are not paid is the fault
of the Secretary of the Treasury or
the Secretary OF the Interior or both.
The interest on bonds is the only
money that Secretary Sherman pays
out chcerfully and promptly. Yester
day before the vote alluded to. Sena-
tor Booth attacked the course OF the
Secretary vigorously.
The proposition mentioned above
was q part of the Legislative appro-
priatior bill, and will of course, share
the fate of that bill. opinions differ as
to what Mr.. Hayes will do when the
bill goes to him, as it will in day or
two, but veto is expected by pretty
much every one. The veto of the army
bill after assurances that convinced
many Democrats that the bill would
be approved, and the veto on Monday
of the Laid bill, after renewed and
emphatic assurances of the same kind,
has created conviction that MIR.
HAYES has determined to be governed
or the extreme elements OF his party,
At the dictation of men like Chandler
and Robson he will in all human
probability veto any measure of impor-
lance passed at the present session in
relation to troops or civil officers at
the polls or to the repeal Of the jury

which we're spoken in the House BY MS

viaces, not States. REX.

a BIg screw loose.

L. would be as we'll for the people OF
Texas to cease for while their grum-
| bling about an expensive state govern
md the deplorable state Of our hnan-
cial condition, and devote little time
20 AZ inquiry az to why taxes are high
and why our revenues are inadequate
to meet the wants OF the state govern
ment. Are tho taxes properly assess
ed aud paid? Ifso, what becomes OF the
money after it is paid by the taxpayer
10 the officials?
Sometime ago the Express referred
to the fact that in 1876, according to
to the comptroller's report, there were
about thirteen million acres OF patent
ed lands in this state on which no as
sessment return was made. Now we
have it froln a very responsible gentle
man that according to reports in the
comptrollers', Office thatthere are not
ouer one thousand saloons IN Texas!
Think of that ye grumbling tax pay
ers Only one thousand saloons in a
state containing about two
million people! The gentleman
who furnished the above
information, and who says he got his
information In the comptroller's office
says there are counties reporting no
saloons, in which. OF his own pers onal
knowledge, there are eight or ten, and
in some counties M saloons have been
reported as existing tor the past sever
al years. :,
There is evidently a considerable
sized screw loose somewhere, and the
people should demand an Investigation.
The legislature ut its last session pass
ed very wise law which will close the
leak in the deficiency OF the land as
sessment, by charging assessors with
the amount of land in each county, and
Withholding their fees until the required
number Of acres are rendered.
Now let something be done to see that
all other property az we'll as occupa.
tons, is equally assessed and that the
money the goes into the tie sury, and
then We will hear. DO more of high
taxes or deficiencies in revenue.--[ San

New Orleans Times

New Orleans Times For
weeks and months, the attention of
congress has been occupied almost en-
tirely, with political matters of a pure
ly partisan character. The material in
terests of the country have been neglec-
ted, and measures for the revival
of commerce and other industries
nave received but little notice. 1t
can hot be said that one party is more
responsible than the other for this
condition of affairs. They are both
engaged in manufacturing political
capital and preparing for the campaign
of 1880. When the republicans had
full control of the government they
availed themselves Of every opportuni-
ty to strengthen their party, and now
that the democrats are in the majority
in congress. it is but natural that they
should legislate IN harmony with the
views and theories of their party.

An outrage.

As is we'll known, steps were taken
by former recent Legislatures OF this
state to enforce the collection OF taxes
against non residents. Their lands
where delinquent we're advertised and
sold, the State bidding most OF them
in. This course was becoming effect
i've, and greatly to the advantage OF
the revenues of the State. But at the
late session of the Legislature this sys-
tenn was annulled, and the probablli-
.ty is shat the property OF non resident
landed nsbobs will again escape taxa.
ton, while poor citizens are held strict
" to tho letter of the law and made to
bear the entire burthen Of taxation
By the way here was most righteous
occasion for the exercise of the Gov
errors veto, but he seems to have
been SO engaged with forging his bolts
to hurl at our public school system
that he overlooked it entirely.
The truth is. If taxation were just
and equal, enforced against mouopollsts
and spectators as we'll as the poor,
it need not have been thought OF to
rob the children of the state OF their
right to the rudiments Of an educ1tlon
and doom them to ignorance and bar
barism on the score of economy. Add
to this certain amendments to the con-
stitution, notably change in our mon
strous judiciary system, which OF it
self is sufficient to swamp the credit
of any State, and we should soon be
able to get along without the aid OF
the humiliating expedients recon-
mended by the Governor.
