THE specials represent Senator CONE-
LING as departing from Mentor evident
ly well pleased at the results OF his visit.
He would hardly be invited there
to be greeted by refusal,
and it is probable he scored the point in
dispute, which is understood to be the
selection of his friend, Congressman
MORTON of New York city, as Secretary
of the Treasury. A Washington special
says:
If Morton is not TO be the Secretary
of the Treasury, there is no use in Gar
field seeking an audience with Conkling,
for he will only be content with naming
the candidate for that office, and none
other. The opposition to MOrtOn's APP
pointment comes principally from Sec
rotary Sherman. Blaine, il is alleged, is
not inimical to him, and would be sat.
isfied with the selection. With the Sc
lection Of Blaine for the State Depart
ment, Conkling finds no fault. On the
contrary, his friends allege that he
thinks it is wise appointment. A son
of ex-senator Howe, Of Wisconsin, said
tonight; al know Conkling has gone to
Mentor. know, too, that General
Garfield invited him. II General Gar
field appoints Morton to the Treasury,
there will be plain sailing; but otherwise
there will be NIL"

II the great political eOnyulsion in
Ireland shall induce England to reform
her land Laws, il will be benefit to
both. Great Britain is behind almost
every other country in Europe in this
respect. The remains OF the feudal
theory keep the land in the possession
OF few, while the great bulk Of the
British people are landless. The pro-
gress Of liberal opinion is at war with
this system, the tree OF liberty will con.
tinue to grow, and the result will be the
breaking otthe vase in which ii is plant
ell. The people Of Great Britain and
Ireland should make common cause
against the evil which bears almost
equally hard in both countries.

IT is noted by the Washington Na-
iiJfsGi REpubiicoa that: FERNANDO
WOOD was a member OF the Congress
which appropriated 10000 in aid OF
Professor MoEsE's experimental tele-
graph line between Washington and
Baltimore. Mr.. WoOD voted for the ap-
propristion, and was, in consequence,
defeated in his next race for Congress,
his constituents having no confidence in
the judgment Of a Representative who
was willing to give his countenance to
such a visionary scheme as communica-
ting human intelligence over wires hung
on poles"

The wheat growers Of California have
settled down to the belief that there is
to be short crop Of wheat this year
everywhere except in California, and
that the world will not have more than
enough wheat for its actual needs either
this year or next. In circular recently
issued by one of the leading grain houses
OF San Francisco, the farmers are re-
minded that there is no cause for a
panic because OF the fact that 100000
tons OF the 1S79.So wheat will be carried
over into next years crop. The circu-
lar calls upon the farmers to remember,
first, that some OF the nations OF Europe
are always likely to have short crops
ond, that last year was remarkable Tor
its uniformly good crops throughout the
world, a circumstance not likely to oc-
cur again right away: third, that the in
clement weather. that has prevailed
throughout the eastern States and large
portions OF Europe during the last two
weeks cannot fail to have an adverse in.
fluence on next years crop in those
places; fourth, that the floods in Eng
land will prevent sowing, and the wheat
already sown will not terminate; fifth,
that the extraordinary fall OF snow pre-
cludes the preparation OF the ground for
the seed, consequently small area will
be sown and the crops produced will be
short.

Chinee has been resorting to ways that

negotiating the pending treaty with
America regarding the opium trade.
The real anxiety of the Chinese officials
il, it seems, not to save their suffering
people from the misery and debauchtry
attendant upon the opium habit, but to
wrest from the English for themselves
the control Of trade in which immense
fortunes have been made.

An evidence of the prosperity that
has come to the country dhrinZ the past
twelve months is given in the report to
the New YORK Legislature by the Super
intendent of Banking, which shows
that in that State alone, during the past
year, the people who patronize savings
banks have added SIj,OO0,OO0 to their
deposits. The decrease in deposits in
1873 was S!3.7iS, 40, whilst the increase
in 1879 was l2O,l ,S62-less than half
the increase of the year just closed.

Tbs Senatorial deadlock in Pennsyl-
vania is very conclusive evidence Of the
waning influence of the CAMERoN ma

himself, begins to betray an apprehen-

fight, and that his own Senatorial scalp
is in danger. lie will probably have to
consent to the withdrawal of his second
favorite, and when he does this, the OPP
position will have the prestige OF vic
tory which will carry the day against

RAILROAD MILEAGE AND PoPU-
I,ATIOc OF THE STATES.

We publish this morning in, advance
of the official publications, two very in
teresting tables from the Census Bu-
reau, showing the railroad mileage in
all the States and Territories and the ag-
gregate population OF the respective
States and Territories.
We invite especial attention TO the
table of railroad mileage. We have
here the official data for a comparison oil
the progress OF our State with all OF her
sister States in the matter OF railroad Ia
ciities. In proportion to her popula-
ton and territory, West Virginia has
lower railroad mileage, We think, than
any other State in the Union. We &C.
cupy position very near the
center Of population; we are
the middle ground, the natural thorough
fare between the North and South, the
East and West; we have a greater
wealth of resources depending upon
railroad transportation than any other
State OF the same area; We have more oil
that character OF wealth that should in
yite railroad enterprise and make rail-
roads remunerative and profitable to the
State, than other States have; and yet
for some reason We are the most indtfer-
ent and backward in railroad enter
prise.
A north and south line OF railroad,
connecting the Chesapeake and Ohio
and Baltimore and Ohio, would add
FIVE millions OF dollars to the taxable
property OF the State. 1t isthekey that
would unlock our resources and put the
State on line OF prosperity and pro-
gress to which her position entities her.
This is an enterprise which ought to
command the best thought, the best en-
ergies, aud the most persistent effort OF
the leading men OF the State.

cent rate OF interest fixed by the House
in the Reiunding bill. The bonds are
made redeemab,e in FIVE years and pay

BILE that the ground OF compromise will
be a long three per cent. bond.
