II was within the power of the Repub-
licans of the Tennessee Legislature to
elect a Senator, but though their bull
headedness in sticking to one man
Maynard Democrat was elected
The election of Mr.. jackson makes
the Republican and Democratic parties
in the United States Senate of equal
strength, leaving the balance of power
in the hands of Malone, of Virginia,
and David Davis, of Illinois. Repub-
lican Senator from Tennessee would
have given the control of the Senate to
the Republicans, and both Legislative
branehsS of the Government would have
been in accord with the Executive. The
result in Tennessee could have been
prevented. Some one has Numbered.

cheap transportation and the increase
and multiplication of products to be
transported. Railroads. too, must aid
ia ms prosperity or suffer for their c's-
pidty. But how shall we get cheap
transportation? Law making cannot be
depended on for this purpose. We in
Lancasterrelieved ourselves from churn-
ing the mud to Boscobel by assisting in
building railroad. No anti-railroad
meetings or freight regulations could
have done it. When the broad gauge
is completed from here to Madison,
competing routes will do for us what no
Potter law could accomplish. In short,
while the railroad system is rapidly
growing throughout the west and new
and important lines are being construct
ed and projected, in our own State;
while the Northern and Southern Pa
ciiic are being pushed on across the con-
tinent; while railroads are being sur
veyed from our frontier into Mexico,
and the boarded capital of millionaires,
here and in Europe, is ready to be in
vested in these great enterprises the
only scheme which can unlock these
hidden treasures and scatter them
among the people whose labor created
them 1--we do not think it would be wise
toinaugurate any legislation in Congress
or out of it that would alarm capitalists
or check investments in railroad build
ing. And when this growth has come
to maturity, when the centres and chan
nels of trade have reached some degree
Of permanently, and our knowledge of
the interests to be harmonized is per-
fected by the annual accumulation OF
statistics and facts, we shall be better
qualified TO judge whether as q State we
would gain by surrendering any power
over railroad corporations to the general
government and retaining in our own
hands the control we now exercise over
them in our own limits. The power of
the United States when it legislates is
exclusive, and our Legislators should go
slow in voluntarily eeding to the general
government sovereign rights which once
yielded can never be regained.

The Milwaukee Republican says:
The Senate at last has begun to in
troduce and consider radical legislation
likely to interest the people and bring
the corporation cohorts to Madison.
One of these measures was the so-called
telegraph bill introduced by Senator
Geo. W. Ryland. Itproyides for licens-
ing all telegraph companies and there
by securing a tax of so cents per mile
for one wire, $l.25 per mile for two
wires and one dollar each in addition
for each additional wire above two.
Before license can be secured to operate
telegraph lines, the number Of miles Of
single, double and other lines must be
reported. For a failure to so report a
fine of $4,000 is made the penalty, and
to secure the payment of the tax, the
state shall have first lien ON all the
property of the telegraph company so
in arrears

The Milwaukee Republican. anno

The Milwaukee Republican, announ-
ces that there are some well defined if
not well-founded juniors afloat, in that
city, to the effect that the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Com
pany is about to straighten the track of
its Watertown division, or build new
track so as to obtain an airline between
Milwaukee and Madison. It is also as
serted that this same company must do
something to relieve its over-burdened
trunk lines in Wisconsin and will there
fore build a line connecting yiroqua and
Richland, and one connecting Beloit in
this State and the Chicago & Pacific
road in Illinois, thus making through
trunk line between Chicago and St. Paul.

The Oil.Test Subject.

The Madison Journal of January 20,
makes editorial comment in full upon
the status of the oil test contest, with
which Mr.. E. l. Kidd, of this county, is
prominently identified, and includes
also the reasons of that gentleman in
support If his bill to repeal the present
oil-test law. IL says:
The opposition seems chiefly to CEN
ter in the Third Congressional District,
and there emanates from that quarter
the most alarming statements of popular
rebellion against the Board of Heaith's
pet scheme. 1t is represented by Mr..
Kidd, before the Committee on State
Affairs, that the machine test created by
the act, does nothing more than to re-
move from petroleum or coal oil all its
Einflammable qualities; illuminating oil
without inf ammable quality, says Mr..
Kidd, Is not better than water; the lamps
in his district go out on the least pro-
vocation, and will not burn when the
reserN OH is less than half filled; the
wicks have constantly to be turned up,
and every time they are thus turned,
the Board of Health is mildly cursed
much to the Generalization and mental
aggrayation of the good people of Mr..
Hazelton's district.
Moreover, represents the gentle
man from Grant, and SO say all his col
leagues from the adjoining counties, the
system subjects dealers and the people
to thousand petty annoyances; the 10
cal inspectors, it is asserted, are not
prompt in inspecting oil, upon its re-
ceipt by the dealers, who generally club
together and purchase carload in one
invoice, and thus villages frequently run
short on Illuminating material, while
awaiting the pleasure of the slow NOV
ing official; the fee is considered an OPP
pressiye tax, and the inquisitory visits
of the inspector nuisance. The peo-
pie of the Third District say that they
want good, strong, infammable oil,
with no officious Inspector prowling
about their villages and the petitioners
