The Kentucky Election.

Kentucky on Monday elected State treas,
urer, 10 Senators and 100 Representatives,
and in the third district, composed Of q
counties, Judge of the Court Of Appeals,
James w. Ta:e is reelected treasurer with
out opposition, and j. H. Lewis appellate
Judge by large majority. The election, ex.
cept in few places, was very quiet one,
and small vote was polled. The returns
show immsterial republican gains In both Sen.
ators and Representatives. The last Legis-
lature stood Senate, "a democrats and four
republicans the House, so democrats and 20
republicans aud greenbackers. Exactly how
the Legislature elected on Monday will stand
it is impossible to say, but it will certainly be
overwhelmingly democratic, and with large
majority favorable to the reelection of Mr..
Beck to the United States Senate. As all the
votes not polled are counted against the call
of constitutional convention, that important
measure is again defeated by public apathy.
Perhaps the quietest election ever held in
Louisville was that of Monday. Less than
5000 votes were polled, where more than 20,
600 have been cast at previous elections. Oh
the seven democrats elected to the Legisla.
ture from the city and county, six are known
to favor the reelection of Senator Beck.
About the same ratio will hold good over the
entire State.

Baltimore Herald, Republican.-The o.
L. d. movement was mainly originated by
men who had for years held office under
Democratic rule, and who hoped by it either
to attain election to Office or 10 be bought off
with the promise ofsomething by the managers
of the party. Finding that by denomination of
Mr.. Whyte, and the selection of candidates
in some degree accordant, they have been
left out in the cold, number of the originals
are agitating another movement ostensibly
for reform, but really to have themselves
nominated for places or being hired by Mr..
Whyte or the Democratic leaders to stop.
They believe that union with one or other
faction of the Republicans they can make
such display of strength as will make it de-
sirable TO buy them off. It is NOT yet certain
that any considerable number of Republicans
will bite at this bait. They may prefer to run
independent candidates, which will be bad for

Cove Salisbury, ex- Governor Of Delaware
died at his residence in Dover, en- Sunday
afternoon, at the age Of 50 years. He was a
physician by profession, but early in life be
came active in politics, aud was elected a
State Senator. Ia 1868 he was chosen Gov
ernor to succeed Cannon, deceased, was re.
elected and held the executive Office until
1870. In 1871 he was candidate for L. 5.
Senator, but was defeated by his brother Eli.
He was delegate to the lastt two Democratic
National Conventions. Ex-Governor Sauls.
bury was prominent in the Methodist Episco'
pal Church, being chairman of the Trustees
of the Wilmington Conference. He was also
delegate Of the Methodist Ecumenical
Council in London, and was to have soon
sailed for England to attend its sessions.
Gov. Salisbury was one of four brothers. three
of whom have distinguished themselves in
state and national affairs. Willard Salisbury
was few years ago one of the foremost OF
United States Senators, and Eli Salisbury il
regarded as one OF the ablest members Of that
body. The fourth brother, James, died in
early manhood.

Shenandoah and " estern Maryland Railroad.

The Shenandoah road, which is now in OPP
Grafton from EagerstOWu, Md, 70 Naynes.
boro, Va, is being exteEded very rapidly
from the latter point to Big Lick, on the Nor.
folk and Western road, near Salem. Between
Waynesboro' and Big Lick, distance Of less
than a hundred miles there are now employ
ed-accOrding 70 reliable reports-5 900 hands
in grading aud laying track. This road will
open up u reh section Of country, hitherto
without railroad facilities By tapping the
Norfolk and Western road at Big Lick, 50
miles west of Lynehburg, where the Norfolk
and Western and the Virginia Midland eou-
meet. As the Shenandoah road and the Nor
folk and Western are working IN harmony,
both being owned in Philadelphia, il is quite
probable that large part Of the southwestern
trade, which heretofore passed over the Nir-
ginia Midland viii be diverted 10 the Shenan-
doah While there is some danger cf this
trade being drawn from Baltimore 10 Phila-
delphia, still il is hardly enough TO cause any
fear Just now. Through the energy Of Presi-
dent Hood, the Western Maryland road has
made passenger and freight traffic arrange
ment with the Shenandoah road, which gives
Baltimore merchants an excellent opporiuni-
" of reaching the en,irs section drained by
the Shenandoah. Under the able manage.
ment Of Mr.. Hood, the Western Maryland
road is being developed very rapidly, and by
the connections with other roads made duriRg
the last few years this road is becoming OF
great Importance to the trade of Baltimore -

Hon. Samuel J. Tilden is reported to
be ia excellent health, and enjoying the
bathing at Long Branch. The health of
this eminent gentleman is Of remarkable
kind-Only becomes feeble once in four
wears. When he was q candidate for
President in 1876 it was reported that he
could not live out his term Of Office if
elected. He was elected, but defrauded,
and was in fine state Of preservation until
the spring of $780, Then again he was
reported as at deaths door He will en-

American and Chinese Civilization.

The Chinese government have had large
number of Chinese boys at Hartford, Connec-
ticut, under the supervision of a Chinese gen.
tleman named Yung Wing, to be educated
here at the expense of the government OF
China, in engineering and all the practical
sciences. These boys are bright active fell
lows, who have made considerable progress
in their studies. Two of them won prizes for
scholarship at Yale, this year, and nearly all
of them have adopted not only American
ideas, but the costume of those about them,
and have even discarded the queue. The
Chinese ambassador recently went to Hart
ford, on tour of observation, and he was
Mortified to find that his young countrymen
had imbibed the ideas and the free notions OF
the people among whom they were, and had
fully adopted a civilization antagonistic to
the conservatism and Imperialism of China.
His report alarmed the government at Pekin,
who has ordered them home. China does
not wish them to bring back, along with the
railroad the telegraph, the cotton gin, and
the loom, the ideas which prevail here. Its
conservatism abhors our social and political
theories, and it is surprising that they ever
hazarded the experiment of trusting picked
number OF their youth amid the influences OF
a totally different civilization.

The Democratic State Convention of
Virginia met in Richmond on Thursday,
and after passing 4 strong debt-paylng
platform, after the first ballot, nominated
Hon. John w. Daniel, of Lynchburg, for
governor by acelamation. Maj. Daniel
was not nominated when the first ballot was
taken, and when his name was proposed
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and dur
ing the calling of the roll on the second
ballot other nominees were withdrawn and
the nomination was made unanimous amid
great cheering. Maj. Daniel is only about
forty years of age, but has held high
place in the esteem of Virginians through
out the State for ten yearspast. He only
lacked two votes of the nomination when
it was bestowed on Governor Holiday, and
he only required the same number of be-
ing chosen United States Senator when
Hon. John w. Johnston was elected
For his years he is a man of great ability,

No difficulty has arisen at Washington,
so far, from the Presidents inability to
attend to public business. A number of
appointments are getting dusty 10 the de-
partments, a number of Office seekers are
becoming heart-siek from hope deferred,
but the more important business Of the
government goes on as usual under the
supervision Of the heads Of departments.
This is a great country. 1t gets along
rather better when the cabinet officers are
off making tours of inspection; when the
general Of the army is on the western
plains beyond the reach Of the telegraph
and the judges Of the supreme court are
scattered along the seaside or in the noun
tains. Even the Presidents illness does
not retard the wheels Of government, which
move onward Ike elockwork with their
accustomed regularity. The world is, in
deed, governed too much. The best gov
ernment is that which is least felt by the
people, which leaves everybody to work
out his own happiness in his own way, and
to sit under his own vine and ig-tree,
none daring to make him afraid.

The Chattanooga Times suggests a
point or two on the subject of good
roads to the farmers, who are the
sufferers. lit says
1. Hold conventions in the vari-
Gus counties and sections of the state,
and digest plans for enforcing such
laws as are On4he statute book. Let
that be the first thing determined
on. Then petition the legislature
for the enactment of such practical
amendments of the law as it stands
as, in the agricultural judgment, can
be enforced.
. Devise some county administra-
tive machinery more practical than
the county court. 1t Is too cumber-
some aud unwIeldy, and expensive.
1t is in nearly all the counties filled
with small politicians and small
iobbers. who are intent OH squeeZ-
inc the utmost compensation out of
the revenues, getting petty contracts
fer themselves and friends, and
packing the grand petit juries with
their creatures and ward strikers.
The county court is badge and rel
lie of the day before steam and tel
agraph. and will be found a clog
and weight on our progress so long
as il is tolerated. Had tins absurd
tribunal been substituted by COM
missions of three or five business
men in all counties, at the end OF
the war the state would to-day be
/. millions better of, the brood of small
revenue eaters would not be one
fourth as large as it is, and we
should be- far i'm advance Of our pres
ent copdition in respect to our road
and school systems.
