Another trunk or through line OF railway has
been opened between the east and west.
The new route, over which train passed
for the first time on Wednesday is
from Cincinnati to Lexington, by the Kentucky
Central: thence u Huntington. West Virginia by
The Elizabethtown AMI Big Sandy road and from
that point by the pcaka ard Ohio road to Nor
folk, where ocean navigation Is met The new line

very serious competitor for the business now en-
1oyed by the four great routes considered the
through freight carriers hut IL Is pretty certain to
do 4 good local trade, in both passengers and
freight from the start. In time, too, the advan-
tayeS OF good harbor free from Ice in the winter
season and with cheap means OF transfer from cars

mercial interests, and then the line just opened
may become competitor OF no mean pretenS.OnS
for the carrying trade OF foreign bound products.
The New York tariff convention IS being utilized
By men who have certain hobbies TO get their ideas
before the country. The subject Of the tariff, or
what should be done with 1t, has scarcely been
touched upon. One speaker consumed his time In
discussing silver coinage. Mr.. Kelley dwelt upon
the blessings to be derived from aboshing inter-
nal taxation, and John Roach sought to impress
upon the meeting his ideas of shp-building and
the necessity of subsidies to keep American ships
afioat 1t Is very evident that If the tariff is

plished through these tariff conventions.
Judge Porter has not only exposed the assassin
Guiteau as a literary pirate and fraud, but he has
punctured his pretended inspirations" and shown
them, by the prisoners own answers, to be nothing
more nor less than bald bIasphemy and rank
hypocrisy, intended to further selfish schemes
After shouting repeatedly that the 'Deity never
makes mistake" he "never selects fools for his
Instruments" and never permits his purposes to
fail, the assassin was driven to confess that his

He calculated that his pretensOn OF inspiration

Judge Porter he has been compelled to show up

Gov. Plaisted, of Maine, and the members of his
executive council are still at lOggerhelds. The
latter hold that they, a whole, form part of
the executive power, and that officials cannot be
removed by the governor without the consent of
the council. In this opinion they are backed by
the judges OF the supreme court, but still the gov
erGOr refuses to yield, saying he regarded the
opinions OF the justices as binding only SO far
they contained sound reason and sense. Maine
has had much internal political strife and dis
cord, proceeding from mixed state governments,
that she will probably undertake to put party
In power at a time hereafter, and not divide the
thing
The American Public Health Association, in ses-
Sion at Savannah has adopted resolutions in favor
OF compulsory vaccination, and will memorabilia
Congress and state legislatures In behalf OF laws
to that effect This will probably arouse the anti
yaccinationsts to some effort In support OF their
theory, and we may expect to have the same sort
ofagitatiOn on this subject that has been attract
ing so much attention among the physicians Of
Europe.
The republican papers seem to think that stair
play" calls for the election Of u republican Sena-
tor from Virginia 1t is estimated that the repub-
lcans cast nearly four times as many votes as the
readjusters In the recent Virginia election, and
upon this basis the republicans, it is claimed, are
entitled to the larger share of spoS The total re-
publican vote was certainly not less than a, 900.
