The House committee on commerce have re.
ported fayorably the joint resolution submitted
by Mr.. Cox providing for marine hospital on
Bedloe's Island, In New York harbor, and Con-
gress ought to pass it this session. The island
belongs TO the government, and having been
practically evacuated by the military, it cannot
De put TO better use than that proposed by Mr.
Coxs resolution. The location is convenient to
the sailors, and, better still, it Is healthy The
sailors, py monthly tax, pay their Doctors
Oils and other expenses attending sickness and
II is but right that the government should pro-
vide them with a cool, retired, healthy spot for
the erection and maintenance OF a hospital.

Tie announcement OF the fact that Anthony
Constock has undertaken 70 suppress recent
french novel has created such demand for 1t
that the publishers cannot print the books fast
enough co supply ii. Comstock, whose efforts
for the suppression OF vice have, In many In
stances, been ridiculous, and In numerous
Others open to the suspicion that bribery was
moving cause, concluded that the English
translation OF the novel in question was objec-
uonable In moral point OF view, and that it
must be suppressed. His condemnation Of the
book as immoral has made 1t thousands of
readers, who, otherwise, never would have
thought OF IL, and it may lead his enemies to
charge that he took his action with the view OF
popularizing the book and for a commission on
its sales.

A miscegenation case Is before the courts In
Rhode Island, and, being the first or the kind
there, considerable interest is manifested in the
result. The statute Is so plain that 1t is difficult
to conceive how the finding Of the court can be
In any doubt whatever. The law, which Is still
In force, provides that ''all marriages between
white person and negro. Indian or mulatto
shall be absolutely null and void; and the per-
son Joining them in marriage shall be subject to
penalty OF 5000" The contracting parties to
this marriage are Samuel Dorrell, coal-black
negro, aged Sc, and Ellen Darlington, white
woman, OF Irish parentage, p years Old The
marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. G.
II. Smith, the colored pastor of Baptist church
In Providence. The Virginia statute against
the inter-marriage Of the white and negro races
which Is not more rigid and specific than that
In existence in Rhode Island, has been declared

In an article on the subject OF the British
telegraph system writer In the FGriniJhny
Rerte'r presents some facts and figures which
become OF interest In the United States In view
OF the revival, In some quarters, of the project
TO have the government become the posseSsor OF
the telegraph lines in this country The British
government has been operating the telegraph
In Great Britain since In 1870, and while there
has been steady, even rapid, increase In the
business, the receipts have uniformly declined,
from year TO year, according to the writer men
toned. When the government took charge of
the British lines, about ten years ago. the mum
Der or messages annually transmitted was
100000; now it is 20 900 OOO then 1900 900 press
reports were forwarded, now 22,OOO, 900 are
transmitted; then 1900 offices transacted the
business OF the companies, while now 5, 800 are
required; now Il, 600 instruments are necessary to
do trade that was then performed by $500.
There were in 1870 TO- 100 miles of line and II, $50
miles of wire, while now there are $1,000 miles
OF the former and los 900 miles of the latter,
The decrease in receipts has been about In the
same ratio as the increase In business, so that
now the residue OF receipts over gross expendi-
lures is only about one-tenth of what it was In
1870. The writer In the FOrtniyhty Repie,c
predicts that If the government continues to
operate the system 1t will before a great while
have to face an annual loss In the running ex-
penses; but he does not seem to consider the
fact that the extensions and extra facilities
necessary have perhaps nearly all been provided
In the past ten years, and that hereafter this
expenditure will not be necessary. The one
Important fact remains In spite of the figures
given, and that Is that the government has
afforded Its people very cheap telegraphfc CON-
municatiCn with each other, and that it has not
yet failed 10 make the receipts come up to the
expenditures.

GAECELoN AND THE MAINE BUSINESS. The
investigating committee in Maine have got
through with Governor Garcelon The latter
part of his examination related to his finan-
cial management and it came out that this
strict constructionist, who could not allow a
ditto mark in an election return, -that is if
it was return of Republican representa-
tive, had without any authority of law, es-
tablshed a branch of the State treasury in
his brecches pocket, and had taken s. 600
from the treasury for which he had no vouch-
er. His excuse for his lawless proceedings
was that of the criminal Necessity knows
no law The laws prohibit the Governor
from spending money not appropriated by
the Legislature Governor Garcelon took
and spent, without authority, more than
$1,000 of such mouey. The law limited the
watchmen in the State House to two men;
Governor Garcelon made the number forty.
The Legislature is the only power to create
Offices; Governor Garcelon surrounded him
self with "A score or more of new officials He
left the office of Governor with more than
$1,000 of the public funds in his hands. and
as private citizen has been paying bills that
should have been sent TO the council for au-
dit. More than two months out of office and
private citizen, he confessed that he had in
his possession still nearly $1,000. He con-
fessed that he paid his special counsel for
services designed TO defeat the will of the
people fee amounting to half as much as
the salary of the attorney general He testi-
fed that he had detectives scattered all over
the State, who sent in reports Of the feeling
of the people in the various sections" These
detectives were paid with money taken from
the State treasury. and for that money no

but do not care to produce them as do not
think they are matters of public concern"
And the people of Maine are asking What
right had he to pay out the money of the
public for matters that were not of public
concern
But the committee did not rest when
Garcelon got through testifying and the ad-
ditional testimony produced, spoils the e1-
Governors plea of ignorance. Two credible
witnesses swore that Attorney General Nc
Clellan of Maine declared in their presence,
Nov. :, 1879, that he had been to Augusta 10
labor with Governor Garcelon, and had been
success ful in stiffening him up SO as to agree
to the counting.ou out scheme. Mr. Baker,
counsel for the Republicans who were count
ed out, testified that he called Garcelon's at
tention to matters which that gentleman SAYS
he knew nothing about Councillor Brown
of Gov. Garcelon's Council could not see
how His Excellency could have been so ig- |
norant of the result of the counting of the |
vote as not to know that it would give Dem |
ocratic majority He was sorry that he had |
a hand in it and we venture TO believe that |
Mr.. Garcelon is now very sorry he had |
hand in it. The whole gang of conspirators
are now, beyond doubt, pretty sick; and |
they will probably feel worse before they feel |
any better

The undersigned citizens and tax payers
Of the town and village Of BrattlebOro, re-
specially represent: That the sidewalks
throughout large part Of the village are
poor and insufficient that a vast majority of
the population and taxpayers of the village
have a much more direct interest in good
sidewalks than in good roads that, in the
opinion of your petitioners the sidewalks in
the village, as well as the roads, ought to be
built and kept in repair by the proper pub
lie officers at the public expense, and be
paid for out of money raised by tax for such
purposes Your petitioners therefore pray
your honorable body TO adopt a new policy
in regard to the construction and care of side
walks, in accordance with the foregoing rep
reservations, and to inaugurate the reform by
at once causing new and suitable walks to be
built in as many Of the streets, most needing
them, as the means under your control will
justify trusting TO the good sense of the peo-
pie to continue the same policy until all parts
of the village shall be supplied with suitable
walks, and your petitioners will ever pray. q.

Turk Roberts es John Robertson. This
was an action of trespass against the defend
ant for removing piece of fence which the
plaintiff claimed was upon his land. The
case was tried by the court 1t appeared
that the Maple Grove Cemetery Association
of Putney purchased of the plaintiff. through
Its trustees, tract of land ad joining the Gem
etery, which had been used for burial pur-
poses The plaintiff sold said tract of land
all lots previously sold by him, and in the
enumeration Of the lots sold two lots were in
cluded which the plaintiff had not in fact sold
at the time he executed lis deed to the Gem
etery Association. The trustees after this
purchase laid out and constructed driveways.
alleys &c, and expended a large sum of
money in identifying said cemetery. The
two lots above referred to, and which the
plaintiff claimed to own, were situated on the
main driveway, and no claim was asserted to
the same until this driveway was in process of
construction. The plaintiff finally asserted
MS claim to the lots by erecting a cheap
board fence l6 feet long by 10 wide in the
main driveway. The defendant, one of the
trustees of the Cemetery Association, soon
after the fence was built took an axe and
speedily removed the same. For this act the
plaintiff commenced suit The court held
that these lots were conveyed by the plaintiff
In the deed he having reserved only the lots
previously sold by him, Judgment was rem.
dered for :he defendant.
