OF the total earnings Of this Company's
property in the State Of Mississippi, for the
year 1879, SO per cent was again paid out
in that State for labor and supplies.
The gross earnings of the road per mile,
as well as the net, are less on the 800 miles
in the State Of Mississippi than upon the
mileage in Kentucky, Tennessee or Louis

This transportation question Is one of the
utmost magnitude, and the ablest and
wisest men Of the country, for more than
q hundred years, have been unable to cope
with it in such manner as to fix rates or
tariffs, or impost duties as would work no
hardship to either the producer, consumer
or carrier.
Any laws enacted by the Legislature that
work hardship on the carrier must Of ne.
cessity work an equal hardship OH the pro-
ducer.
Every representative must, of course, de-
,termine for himself the line of policy,
which in his Judgment is best calculated TO
promote the material welfare and prospect
ty of the State; and, / think it is due to
such representative, as well as to his con-
stituents that he should be governed, in
making laws, by the best information
within his reach upon those subjects he is
called to legislate upon.

The silver Question.

The opposers Of the reconciliation Of
silver say that the present ratio of Is of
silver to one of gold, isnot large enough,
They are Bourbons enough to have for
gotten several things. First, that sill
yer, as well as gold, has been the worlds
money from time immemorialand second,
that the ratio here named has been
established by the experience and the
experiments of centuries to be the near
est to the equality of values. The as
sumption of the monometallsts that
there ought to be more silver in the
dollar than at present, is all pretence.
It will be borne in mind that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury recommends, not
that the silver dollar be made with
more silver in it; but that its coinage
be suspended. This is the real issue.
The fact, however, will not be denied,
that the present silver dollar is of pre-
cisely the same weight and value that it
was when the government bonded in
debtedness was created, and the con-
tract was formed that it should be
paid in coin of the value then
existing. To increase the value
of the silver dollar, say twelve
cents as is now proposed by the tools of
the bond holders, would be the robbery
of the debtor class to that amount on
every dollar. 1t would aggregate a
considerable sum.

What Women Can Do.

Miss Howard, popular physician at Tein-
tsein, China, is Canadian girl, and receiv-
ed her education at the Michigan Univer-
sity, For successfully treating the wife of
a prominent Chinese statesman, she has
been sent to Pekin in a royal barge, loaded
with presents.
Leila G. Bedell, NJ D., and Sue A. White,
NJ. D., graduated at Boston University
School of Medicine in 1873, and located in
Chicago the same year. Their success has
been exceedingly gratifying both financially
and in the results to their patients, which is
a fresh proof that women may be successful
in this profession.

The Virginia "readjusters" (repu-
diators) seem to have been badly sold.
They made compact with the African
element, carried the Legislature, and
have matured bill saving the State
about 100000, and issuing new
bonds at low interest for the balance,
about $1S,OOO,OO. But behold, the
bondholders have addressed some kind
of argument to the colored allies that
have induced them to change front !;
and the probabilities are that the "re-
adjusters" will find that their nicely laid
scheme has come to grief.

The Hog Crops,

1t is now estimated that the hog crop of
1879 was about 100000 hogs short. Count
ing these at 200 pounds each, making 20O,-
100000 pounds, which will be felt sooner or
later, when ceases the profitable employ
ment given to laborers ofall kinds who eat
pork, and who can easier pay for it this
year than formerly. And so soon as the
crop passes from farmers hands, we look for
a large advance, making princely fortunes
for those having large stocks on hand,
(This means that cotton producers
who don't raise their own meat will be
compelled to pay high prices the pres
ent season.)

The Pending Presidential Election.

l regard the coming struggle as one Of life
or death to free government in this coun-
try, believing that unless the Democratic
party shall attain to power there is no lon
ger hope that the people will be permitted
to control their own elections. Force and
Fraud, under the egis of national authori-
ty, welded by reckless partizanship, and
bolstered by political adjudications will be
omnipotent to determine the Presidential
succession, and maintain supremacy over
the North similar to that SO long inflicted
upon the South. The politics of the nation
will then rapidly descend from peaceful
adjustments by the ballot to sanguinary
struggles and desperate chances in the field.

1t was not difficult matter to get Mr..
Douglass to talk about President-making.
He is pronounced Grant man. Said he:
"The Ex-President will without doubt be
nominated and will be the strongest candi-
date that we can select. Mr.. Sherman may
manage to get some of the Southern dele
gates to the National Convention, but Gen
eral Grant will have a large majority of
them. Pennsylvania is safe to vote for
him and the New York delegation under
Senator Conkling will stand by him to the

What effect will the nomination of Grant
have upon the SouthP'
"He will carry South Carolina. The fact

was a youth of sixteen years of age,
when impressions are vivid and lasting,
and had retained perfect recollection
of the effects Mr.. Cooke produced on
tho audience, myself included; and it
seemed to me that no great actor would
pass through these two scenes with that
careless Indifference that Mr.. Booth
evinccd. 1t has ever remained a mys-
tery to me why Mr.. Booth always slight
cd the first two acts Of Richard ILL.,, and
! can only account for it on the SUPPOSE
tiOn that it was with the view of re-
serving his powers for the remaining
three acts, in which considerable physi-

in physique. retained my first i'm

seen any one produce such effects and
come SO noar my ideas of the character;

low Mr., Booth in the last two acts az
he was above them in the first three.
When the curtain fell upon the finishing
OF the play there was burst of applause
from audience and actors such as | will
venture to say Petersburg never knew
before nor has known since. After this
one nights performance Mr.. Booth re-
turned to Richmond, finished bis en-
gagcment there, and then came again to
Petersburg, and played six " eight
nights to crowded and delighted and
fence.
