Mr.. J. Gould, according to the Chi
csgo Tribune, thinks the Southwest a
much better field for railroad enterprise
than the East, and Texas much better
than Arizona and New Mexico. He be-
Ieves Texas will become one of the best
cotton raising States in the country.
Besides this, he thinks the cattle bust
ness will always be important. and that
roads in that State would get much bu-
siness with Mexico. He has been as
sured by Gen. Grant that the Mexicans.
5000 600 in number, are fond of riding
on railroads, are thrifty and enterprising
as any people in the world. He is of
the opinion that a Southwestern road
into Mexico would get nearly all the bu.
siness of the republic, and more of the
Pacific travel than the Topeka Santa Fe
rOute

West Virginia and the Readjusters.

The Malone "Readjuster" platform is
charged with "repudiating" plank, in
asmuch as it proposes to carry out the
rejected ''Riddleberger resolution, 4"
which is to ''readjust" and settle the
State obligations of Virginia by assum.
ing and paying. principal and interest,
tao0-thirds of the State debt, and setting
aside One-thtrd, to be paid by West Vir.
ginia. Now, as West Virginia is re-
garded as a State in the Union, and not
by her own act, but by the violence of
revolution and lawless usurpation, it is
considered that no possible legality can
attach to this ''Setting aside" of one third
of the old State debt for her payment
We should like to see the matter tested
and the violence done % the State of
Virginia by fanatic revolutionists ar
gued before an honest Supreme Court,
in the light of the Constitution. If Vir-
ginia was not out of the Union, as claim
ed by the Lincoln administration, we
cannot exactly understand how they
could dismember her under the Consti-
tuition.

An OVATION TO SENATOR ROBERTSON.
Two thousand citizens of Katonah, N.
Y, and surrounding country, assembled
to greet Senator William H. Robertson,
Senator Conkling's powerful opponent,
on his arrival at home Saturday evening
from Albany. Rev. DIR. Wheatley de-
livered the welcoming address, during
which he said the people had assembled
to express their admiration for "that
manly independence which will not bow
to the dictation of an imperious leader. "
Mr.. Robertson responded at length,
during which he hit the machine" some
hard ticks, and concluded by declaring
that neither OF the resigned Senators, nor
any other person hostile to the present
national administration. can be elected
to fill the Senatorial vacancies.

Running His Department on Bust
ness Principles.

That the Post Office Department is be-
ing conducted upon business prin-
ciples" is shown in the contracts made.
The Third Assistant Postmaster General
estimates the saving that will be effected
under the new contract for postal cards,
for the four years of this administration,
at one million dollars, as compared with
the expenditure for the same material
under the late administration.
In a contract just entered into
for envelopes for one year from
April LIST the depart ment saves over
SAG, 900 over last year. The contract for
last year was at $1O0.s1O SO; while for
this year a contract to supply tthe de-
partment, including the natural increase,
has been entered into at the sum of
$54, 724 81. Already useless and worth
less star routes which cost three-quarters
of a million dollars annually have been
cut off, and this saving, taken in con-
nection with that effected by making
contracts for the best interest of the
government, warrants the opinion hith-
erto expressed by Mr.. James that the
department can be made self sustaining.

Religious journals of other denomina-
tons opposed to the new version are
confidently expecting aid from President
Garfield in the great battle of rejection
now going on, and their expectations are
well based upon the fact that Mr.. Gar
field is jealous and able defender of
the translation of the Bible by Alexander
Campbell and that the new revlsers
utterly ignored the existence of the great
work of the learned and powerful
Scotchman. The new version per-
petuates the ambiguous and indetermi-
nate old translations of the Anglo Latin
word 6aptiSO, which Mr.. Campbell's
translation renders definitely elm
mense," and it is expected that this will
be sufficient ground for other opposing
denominations to count upon the Presi-
dent and his brethren in the warming
contest.

The agricultural depression in Eng
land is still very severe. 1t is stated that
in Lincolnshire farms may be secured
rent free by any tenant who will pay the
taxes; that in Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedford
shire, Essex, 0xfordshire and other
counties noted for thigh farming. rents
have fallen from 20 to 20 per cent. that
in North Wiltshire an estate embracing
farms of a total area of -, 500 acres is
unoccupied, although the owner offers a
reduction of so per cent. in the rent. /;
and that sales of land are almost utterly
impossible. Various reasons are assigned
for this grave depression. One is that
several consecutive poor harvests have
discouraged the English farmers; anoth-
er, that land troubles somewhat similar
to those in Ireland are apprehended; still
another, that American competition has
killed British agriculture. Probably
each of these influences has affected the
situation.

CHANGED THEIR MNDs.-A party of
colored people, consisting of six families,
from plantations near Charleston, s. c.,
arrived in New York about a week
ago to 60 to Liberia, and they had ar
ranged to sail in the bark Liberia,
through the Secretary of the American
Colonization Society at Washington.
But they changed their minds Friday,
and viii be returned to Charleston.
Their determination to return to their
homes is said to be owing mainly to the
advice of several colonists who returned
from Liberia a few days ago and report
ed that many of the colonists were in a
destitute condition.

Following the example of England
with Cyprus, and of France with Tunis,
Italy is evidently contemplating a seiz
ure of TripolI, the pretext being the ex-
pulsion by the Governor General of an
Italian antiquarian expedition. In itself,
Tripoli has no special value. Its coast
is almost destitute of good harbOrs. and
its population does not exceed $50, 900.
But it forms the gateway of the large in
land province of Fezzan, the annexation
of which would naturally accompany
that of TripOli itself.

1t is claimed, and with much force,
that if Vice President Arthur desires TO
make war upon the administration, he
should first have had the manliness to
resign his position in it, and that having
failed to resign and having gone to AL
bany to endeavOr to establish an anti
administration party, he has shown him
self less honorable than Messrs. COnk
ling and Platt. Whatever may be the
result of the Albany contest. Mr.. Arthur
is, politically, dead.

CoNKLING CONDEMNED AT HOME
An observant resident of New York says
that he has been amazed to find the con-
domination of Conkling by public opin-
ion so universal in that city as well as
through the State. The scandals which
have assailed his private character and
have been lightly treated hitherto by
many, are now brought forward as po-
tent reasons for keeping him out of
power.

Mr.. WIN. RHUL, Of the Knoxville

turn over his five or six supporters to
Horace Maynard, thereby making his
election impossible. lie says further
that Judge r. r. Butler is severely crit
icised for inaugurating the stampede to

ing that he is held responsible for it
more than all others.

Mr.. A. A. Taylor became very severe on

est Of Hon. r. L. Taylor, his Democrat
ic brother, but at the request Of friends,
ne declined to go further into personaIi-
ties. Mr. A. A. Taylor apologies for
his inciyility to Senatorelect Jackson,
by declaring it was done in the heat Of
the moment, but the Knoxville TRIBUNE
seys he did il deliberately, as can be
shown. We have not yet heard Judge
Buffers account Of the affair, but we
bet he can give good reason for his
course.
