Now early in the session, before
tho bill for river and harbor ''im.
provements" claims his attention,
Thad Pound has introduced q sensi-
bic measure, calculated to be bene-
fit to the whole country-to make
the presidential service six years,
and restricting it to one term. AL
though President Hayes has been
creditable and notable exception, it
is fact that the administration of
many executives has been seriously
affected by efforts to secure re-
election, and the business of setting
up the pins to that end has serious
ly interferred with and Influenced
the discharge Of public duty. 1t
would be better for this country if
every elective officer, from constable
to chief executive, were restricted to
one term SO thinks the Milwaukee

FROM Memphis dispatches, it
seems that United States Judge
has been found in the Tennessee
circuit who practically has decided
that, Notwithstanding the amend
ments, there is nothing in the Con-
stitution nor laws to hinder the
holding of slaves in that State. That
is what a Bourbon Of the unrecon-
structed type in one of the interior
counties insisted upon doing in the
case of two colored girls, whom he
has held as slaves ever since the
emancipation proclamation was is
sued His performance at last at
tracted the attention Of the United
States grand Jury, which indicted
him; but upon a motion to quash
the Judge decided there was no law
that reached the case The logical
sequence is that if there be no law
to reach the case, then there is no
law to prevent the perpe.uation Of
slavery. That law may do in Ten
nessee, but it cannot be believed it
will hold in the Supreme Court Of
the United States.

THE question of passing an act for
the control of the railway interests
of the country by the Government
of the United States will be one of
the prominent ones Of the near fut-
ure in Congress. The recent start
ling operations in Wall street, con-
summating the consolidation of vast
transportation Interests under one
management, together with the
"pooling' operations of the past few
months between the competing
trunk lines, are calculated to awak-
Ell the public to something like a
sense of the danger which threatens
the country of .the over-increasing
power of the railway Kings" BY
combining and consolidating, these
corporate institutions, backed with
almost unlimited capital, might, if
unchecked by legislation, in time
become the absolute ruler, not only
OF the business interests Of the con-
tiuent, but of its politics and its civil
government as well.

CAPITAL NOTES.

appear increased activity about the
Capital City. The Senate and AS
sembly chambers are being vigor-
ously busted, door hinges oiled and
spittoons carefully counted. The
Office of the Superintendent Of Pub
lie Property resembles merchantile
establishment stocking up with at
tractive articles for the holiday
trade and one can hardly turn
corner without running against q
candidate or the friend of a candi-
date for legislative favors. The woods
seem to be uucommonly full OF game
of this sort the present season.
Other reminders of the harvest
time" of Madison be lg near at
hand, are found in the polishing up
of boarding house signs, the hopeful
aspect of hotel men, and the usual
flaming advertisements of the several
merchants, who have a generous
way of "cosing out at cost" annu-
ally during the session of the Legis-
lature. -You see!
Unless all signs fail, the organiza-
ton of the legislature will be about
as follows:

his chances but | think met with
but little encouragement, John
EIdred, of Milwaukee, is expected
by some to be quite formidable as
contestant for the Chief Clelkship
but he did not fill the position last
year in such manner as to popu
larize himself greatly; while Coe, as
a member Of the House was such q
general favorite that he will un-
doubtedly receive the cordial sup
port of nearly all the old members
which with the host of friends he
has among the new members can
hardly fail OF securing his election.
Ex-senator Torrey, of Winnebago
county, and w. NJ. Fogo, of Rich
land, seem to develop but little
strength as candidates beyond their
respective county Delegations Pul-
cifer, ex-assemblyman from Shawa-
no county, aspires to drop into the
chair of Sergt. -at-arlns, but as it is
thought Milwaukee will demand
that position,in the event OF Eldreds
defeat for Chief Clerk (which Is re-
carded more than probably the
"Chief Of the Shawanos," seems des-
tined to remain on the reservation
with his tribe.
There appears now no excuse Tor
q session of more than six weeks.
No import legislation has been cut
ont though it is expected OF course
that the biennial bill will be pre-
sented as usual, and finally killed.
There are intimations also that a
proposition to restore capital pun
ishment, will be discussed, and have
considerable support but the gen
eral expectation here is that will not
carry. Politicians will doubtless as
usual avail themselves of the oppor-
