The bill declaring all ''public roads and high
ways" postal routes has passed the House and
the indications are that 1t will become law
The effect OF the law would be to invest the
Post Office department with entire discretion in
the establishment of new postal routes. Now it
requires an act Of Congress to establish the most
unimportant postal route in the country, and
the result is that special legislation of this char
acter is continually before Congress- Bills es.
Tablishing postal routes are always passed.
;a1.er going through the usual routine of Con-
sTessional measures, and the objections that
save been urged against the pending bill ap-
pear trivial Under the present system, when
citizens Of locality desire new route, they
must forward their petition to Congress; then a
bill Is introduced, and after going to the proper
committees it is passed, and the department is
directed to put on the service petitioned for.
The House bill proposes to refer the entire
business to the Post Office department in a
lump, with full authority to grant petitions for
new routes when the service is considered
necessary. This will relieve Congress of the
labor of passing bills for each special case and
will give control OF the business to the depart
ment of the government that is competent to
determine when and where additional mail SER
vice is needed.

The Unpleasantness in south Caro-.

The feud in the democratic party of South
Carolina seems to be increasing in bitterness.
Some time ago Gen. Mort Gary, leader OF the
extreme bourbon element of the party, charged.
In an interview, that Gov. Hampton sacrificed
the Tilden electors in 1876 to gain republican
support for the state ticket Of which he {Hamp-
tom was the head. Senator Hampton pro-
nounced this utterly and absolutely false, ;,
and recently Gary reiterated his charge, with
additional details. Now Col. Haskell, son-ln-law
OF Senator Hampton, takes up the fight in
behalf OF the latter, and in a letter pub
lished in the South Carolina papers, not
only pronounces Gary's allegations false but
denounces him as participator in a number of
corrupt transactions. Col. HaSkell's charges
against Gary are set forth with specifications
and the effect will no doubt be to bring the
quarrel to an issue soon. Gary wants the dem
ocratic nomination for governor, but he Is an
extreme bourbon, even fanatic, in politics, and
Is supported by only men of that class. The
Hampton have opposed all of Gary's ambitious
schemes, because they believe that he would
by his violence as partisan, damage his state
and party, II he were entrusted with position
by it. Gary regards Hampton as the man, who,
ABOVE all others, has marred his political
schemes and therefore he directs his resent
ment chiefly against the Senator. Leading
democrats of the state are fearful that the feud
may result In division in the democratic
party, and powerful influences are at work to
stop the discussion.

The Killing Of Stock BY Railroad
Trains.

We have noticed that bills have been
introduced in the Senate by Messrs.
Hamilton and HUMPHREYS, and in the
House by Mr.. Wood, of jackson coun-
ty, to prevent the killing of stock by
railway trains, and to provide indemni-
tv to the owners thereof At present,
it is the custom of two of the Compa-
MES, the Chicago, St. Louis and New
Orleans, and the Vicksburg and Meri-
dian, TO paw for stock thus killed at one
half of fair valuation. The settle
ments at this rate are made promptly,
without reference to the legal liability
Of the Companies. 1t IS done in the
spirit Of compromise and to avoid htl-
CATION. 1t would be better, however,
to pass a law defining precisely the
rights of both parties and providing a
speedy remedy for damages. But
probably still better plan would be
10 adopt the measure introduced by sen
ator Bills, of Alcorn, at the session of
1878, requiring the Companies to fence
their roads 1t would prevent litiga-
ton and in the end would be better for
the owners of stock and the Companies
themselves. In nearly all the Northern
States Railroad Companies are required
to fence their tracks, and they do not
regard il as a hardship.

Judge George-The Significance o
His Election.
A correspondent al Washing

A correspondent at Washington calls
our attention to the reports that have
been sent out from that cry TO all parts OF
the country. that Judge George, our
new Mississippi Senator vas elected
upon some pledge or other guarantee
that his views were in conformity to
those of Mr.. Lamar, and that his ac-
tions would in some measure be squared
by the course of that gentleman. One
writer goes so far as TO say that Judge
George was in favor of resumption
that he was opposed to the remonetiza-
ton of silver, that he denied the alb
stract right of instruction etc, etc.
There is not a word of truth in all these
assumptions. Judge George was elect
ed upon his own merits as a Democrat
without pledges, and in the full conf
denee which his party in the Legisla-
ture reposed in his capacity tc
serve the State ably and efficiently,
and in his determination TO serve
her conseientiously and periodically.
He is conservative enough to acquiescC
in the results of the war, and TO depre
cate sectional agitation and impractica
bic issues He opposed resumption
advocates the free coinage of silver and
a gold and silver currency, with paper
currency sufficient for the demands o
trade and industry, convertible int
coin: and believes i'll the accountability
of the public agent to the people. Here
in Mississippi, the pretence that a broad
minded, clear-headed and Independent
thinking statesman of Judge George
force of character and marked individ
ualitv, could become the tail of an!
other Senator'S kite, provokes derisioi
and contempt. His election is the tri
umph of no one man, but of the whole
State collectively in having secured tn,
services of an able, enlightened an'
practical statesman in that body il
which the co-equality of the States i
recognized and where each State is rep
resented in its corporate capacity with
out reference to geographical extent o
/ population.

Worth Noting.

In Ex-Governor Seymour's recent adj
dress before the New York Agricul-
tural Society, while fully recognizing
the tide of prosperity which is at pres
ent sweeping over the country, he does
not seek to conceal the possibility of
"breakers ahead" and he sends out ac-
cordingly the following warning
The immediate causes of our prosperity
have been the abundance OF our crops and a
failure of those in Europe. We cannot count
upon these in our plans for the future. The
next summer may reverse the fact. and Eu-
rope may produce an abundance, and we may
lose from unfavorable influences upon our
fields. viii they pass away with the year
Just closed, or has there been developed un.
derlying conditions which have been gradual
lv forming, and which are now 10 show them
selves with great power and in grand proper

question of the day, and it will lead rs into
many inquiries and Investigations before il
is solved. 1t concerns every citizen. every
family, every pursuit five push on bliudly,
and assume that the coming years to
make plenty here and want elsewhere, we
may be speedily overwhelmed with disaster.

The CoffeeviIle Charter.

EDITORS CLARION: There is a bill pend
in the House to grant charter to the town
Of Cofieeville, and we are surprised at the
efforts of Sore-heads, Independents and
Greenbackers to make a party matter OF
this question. They seem to think that the
proposed charter is in the interest of the
Democratic party, whereas the charter was
proposed and passed by the Senate as prayed
for by the good citizens of the town, who
pay the taxes and are interested in the good
order of society. The only opposition
comes from the opponents of the Demo
cratic party, who wish to extend the corpo-
rate limits beyond reason, and take in a
certain class of population with a view to
controlling town elections. Democrats
should not allow themselves to be intimi-
dated into disregard of the interest of tax
payers.

Mr.. Harkreader's Bill.

Mr.. Harkreader of Lee, has intro
duced an important bill in the House OF
Representatives 1t is designed to pro
tect the public againt unjust discrimina-
tons and extortions against Railway
corporations. The bill is in direct ac-
cord with our State Democratic plat
form, which asserts the right and the
duty of the Legislature to supervise
Railway corporations for the purposes
therein. Mr.. Harkreader merits the
thanks of his constituents, and the peo-
pie of the State generally, for his time
w introduction of this measure. 1t is
a subject of great Importance, and. OF
much delicacy, and should be dealtwith
carefully in spirit of justice, both to
the corporations and to the public.

Hon. Van Manning.

The Washington Gazette notes that
General Walker, the Superintendent of
the Census, has adopted the suggestion
of Representative Van Manning, of
Mississippi, to the effect that in prepar-
ing the labor statistics of the South the
figures in reference to the proportion of
cotton raised by whites and blacks in
that section shall be so tabulated as to
enable the people to decide as to which
race shows the more industrious habits
and upon the labor of which race de
ponds the success of the cotton culture
of the South.
The people of Mr.. Mannings district
have reason to congratulate themselves
upon the control which the energy and
talents of their Representative have Sc
cured for him in public affairs.
