pressive state of dignity and ignorance.
Mr. Coyle's equanimity during the electoral
campaign, like his composure yesterday was
thing of beauty. He never shared MI
Marbles terror, and never thought il neces-
sary TO transmit any Changer signals to the
timid Young secretary of the Democratic Com
mittee. There are some curious things IN Coyle ;
testimony. which shed light on the acts OF
his coparccners He showed by the fac-sllnles
that two of the most discriminating clpheI
dispatches which have been rightly attnou'eu
in the TRANSACTIONS to Mr.. Woolley WERE III
fact. in his own (Coyle's) hand. ms chcum-
stance he explained by stating that they were
originally written by WOOllcy, who asked
him to copy them. No doubt Mr.. Woolley
will feel grateful for this additional link
Of evidence against him, as well
"a for Mr.. Coyle's kind assurance to the Com
mittee that Mr.. Woo.lcy had enjoyed a far
education, and must have been capable OF
writing his own dispatches. Mr.. Marble Will

he was stunning his associates az low
toned creatures who were not fit company

depending on Coylo to pay oil his

assertion that he never knew what Mr.. Mar
bic was about in Florida. as he never con-
suited with his colleagues. Those who have
read the history Of Mr.. Marbles transactions
az preye1tcd in the ciphers, will be prepared
TO believe that he kept his own counsel.
Mr.. Dunn's testimony was, in reality, more
important than Coyle'S, and bids far before
IL is concluded to tell much about the south

Weed did not reveal. 1t should be noticed

Mr.. Dunn, 10 charge that he is corrupt
man. who did his best to be bought, and then

Liability of Carriers.

The Missouri Legislature has passed

another, within or without this State,
or when a railroad or other transporta-
ton company issue receipts or bills of
lading in this State, the common carrier,

for any loss, damage or injury to such

the negligence of any other common
carrier, railroad or transportation COM
pany to which such property may be de

railroad or transportation company issu-
ing any such receipt or bill of lading
shall be entitled to recover in a proper
action, the amount Of any loss, damage
or injury it may be required to pay to
the owner of such property, from the

GRANGER.
And our Granger friend spoke truly.
We could not have meant what his
neighbor supposes, without running
counter to the doctrine we have invaria-
! bly, maintained, viz: 0nthe language Of
the Democratic Conservative Platform
of 1870 that corporations are super
visabIe by the Legislative authority"
We hold that no Legislature can "cOn-
tract" away the right Of the people
through subsequent Legislature to ex-
ercise this authority 1t is an inaliena-
BILE right--a right that can not be bar
tered away and in proof of our un-
yielding support of the the principle,
| we have nailed it to the masthead with
the other articles, that constitute the
creed Of the Democratic party.
The language to which our correspon-
dent refers, applies to the carrying trade
on the ocean, and is intended to declare
opposition to the odious navigation
laws which prohibit any foreign built
ships from being owned by an Ameri-
can, and sailing under the flag of his
country. These prohibitory laws are a
disgrace to our government. They say
to an American citizen, if you choose to
buy vessel built in any other land but
this it shall not receive an American
register nor have the protection Of his
country's flag The effect has been to
destroy the carrying trade Of the United
States and to give its benefits to foreign
countries. We are paying annually
nearly one hundred million dollars to
foreign ship owners, and the greater
part of this sum would 90 into Ameri-
can hands if we were permitted to buy
ships on the same terms as rival nations.
Our present Objectionable navigation laws
may have been adapted to the times
when wooden vessels ruled the seas, but
they are not suited to the present age of
iron ships and mammoth steamers. Our
statesmen initiated the example of
England in adopting her restrictive
navigation laws but did not have the
sagacity to follow her example in
changing them when the times demand
ed a change. This was accomplished
thirty years ago, and the result is the
amazing growth of British shipping and
commerce. The great iron ship lines
between British ports and the other
parts Of the world, have been established
since that date. But our government
under the baleful policy of the Radical
party, miscalled protection to Ameri-
can industries" but in fact the barefaced
robbery of the many for the benefit of
the privileged few-have adhered to the
antiquated rule of restriction and
obstruction. The true Democratic doc
trine is, free ships and free trade ; buy
ships wherever you can get them cheap
est, and, whatever seas they traverse,
give them the protection of the Ameri-
can flag.

The Right of Instruction-A Sugges-

EDITORS CLARION: So much has been said

Ii this right on the part of the Legislature
is portion of the Democratic creed, deliver

the most trying and varied circumstances ii
is proper that steps should be taken to up
hold and maintain it. To this end, would il
not be appropriate to demand of every aspi.

timents on that point, and pledge that he
either will obey his instructions or resign?
