JUDGE Key, in the United States
circuit court at Nashville yesterday,
rendered a very important decision in
the suit of the Southern express COM
pany VS.. the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. He decides in favor of the
express company all the way through,
holding that the express business is
entirely distinct from railroad bust
ness, and cannot be abolished by a
railroad edict; that railroad company
cannot engage in the express business
unlessitputs itselfupon an e1actequal-
itylwith express companies, and cannot
discriminate in its own favor. This
appears to be au equitable, common
sense view.

THE THE EXODUS AeAIE.

THERE is talk that the exods move
meut will be revived, but the people
of Kansas have given notice that they
have enough Of the colored population
already. They suggest that the coiored
emigrants be sent to New Mexico,
which is a very fne country for IRdi
ans, Mexicans, COW boys and other
wild people. The southern white
people should encourage this move
ment, rSther than oppose it, though
no real friend Of the colored race
could wish to see the negroes
sent to a territory so full Of
difficulties and hostile elements as
New Moxico. Kansas is bad enough.
A few who have gone there arc doing
well. Those who were thrifty, indns-
trious and prudent at home get along
well:enough out there, if they ever
get used to the yigorS aud extremes OF
the climate. Those who are lazy, dis
honest and worthless in the south
will be so any where, Snd the samt
may be said of the whites. If the
south could exchange a few hundred
thousand colored people for even hall
as many white immigrants, whether
from the north or from Europe, the
whole country would ultimately be
benefited, but the south most Of all

Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun.
Information from Tennessee of a
reliable character gives the assurance
that seventy-eight out of the one hun
dred members of the legislature are
m favor Of paying the state debt.
This includes all, or nearly all, of the
republican members. As there will
be three distinct elements in the
legislature, the debt paying democrats
aud the republicans, two OF these ele-
ments must combine in order to ac-
complish the passage of any measure
relative to the debt. The situation is
such as to give concern, not only to
the leaders of the democracy of Ten
nessee, but to be viewed with grave
anxiety in democratic circles here.
Influential democrats here, who have
conferred with representatives of that
party from Tennessee, express a very
earnest hope that neither Of the wing,
Of the party in the legislature will
form coalition with the republicans
but that they will be able to com.
promise with each other upon some
basis acceptable to both The belief
is expressed that coalition with the
republicans by either wing will per
manently widen the split which nov
exists in the democratic party, and
make it ltor the future the minority
party Of the state.

A Deceptive Planet.

London Telegraph
If We may accredit the astronomers
Jupiter is once more behaving in 1
highly mysterious and reprehensiblt
manner. 50 long as he confined him
self to exhibiting one unslightly red
spot upon his face, no one complained
very bitterly. 1t was generally hoped
that in course of time this much re
spected orb would see the errors Of
his ways, and cease to assume the ap-
pearance Of an inebriate planet. Sad
to relate, however, he has gone from
bad to worse, and is just now showing
side by side with the red spot com
plaiued of, a number of white ones,
which give to his cOuntenance an ap-
pearancel tru'y sad to behold No
wonder that quiet, staid os ronC .
mers, who, as all the world
knows, are most aycrse from
ljoking, stand aghast at such an exhi
bition. For many years Jupiter hes
held deseryedly high place in heir
estimation, and they had come 10 re-
gard him as globe of such regular
habits that he might be depended up
on in any emergency. They had long
ago declared him to be as "cool as a
cucumber, and were halfinclned to
allot both atmophere and inhabitants
TO him, when be breaks out in this
unexpected way. All their calcula
tions are consequently upset. He may
be in boiling heat for all VIC know, a
deceptive planet who has attempted to
look calm and cold while all the TINE
he has been in state of furious con.
aagration, This teaches astronomers
to be chary in future Of giving a good
character to any heavenly body. II
Jupiter be so bad as this, what may
be expected of stars that have nc
reputation to lose?

GENERAL Grant is very earnestly
urging that American capitalists in
vest their money in Mexican railroad
enterprises. Grant is said to be inter-
ested in project jointly with Jerome
Ohafee to build a railroad from Col
olado to the City of Mexico, and he
doubtless appears as the advocate of
aid for that enterprise. The Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
company have in view the construction
of line fron El Paso, or some point
in Arizona, 10 Guaymas, on the
Gulf of California, and there
is project for the construction
of a road from Eagle Pass,
Texas, to the Mexican capital which
took shape in a bill before the Forty
sixth congress in 1879, providing for
government and to such an enterprise.
The Mexican congress is reported to
have granted some concessions TO
American capitalists, at its last seq
sion, for the construction ofauOther
line connecting the Texas system Of
roads with the City of Mexico, A
through line to that city would un-
doubtedly pay, and as its construction
would soon be followed by the con.
struction Of many other lines, the
grand result will be the speedyannex-
alton of the Mexican republic to the
United States. That is one Of the
events which cannot be avoided
The above from the CourierJopr
nal is all very well except the latter
clause, referring to annexation. We
have more territory than we can man
age and cultivate now and ought not to
accept Mexico as a gift, If offered
IF this country will manage its own af-
fairs without meddling with others, il
will do we'll. The MEXICAN people
would be benefited by commercial in
tercourse with the United States, buI
not by annexation. Our missionary
efforts should be directed at the col
,ored race in the south, the heather II
our big cities, and the Mormons out
west before we undertake to graft tn,
Mexicans on our system.

Of an eminent English statesman.
This lady had long suffered from an
apparently incurable cough of very
distressing nature. She went to the
blue doctor, who for three months
made her inhalo a daily mixture OF
chlorolorm and the fumes of some
strong acid. Every day she was chlo-
reformed to insensibility, and at the
same time was acidulated-with the
result that she is now quite well.
