For proof Of tile laltsr assertion, read The
following from the Newark Duly Adeertiser
respecting a bill recently introduced into our
State Legislature.
Senator Sewell's bill known as No. 10 pro-
vifes that railroad corporations shall have
right of eminent domain, and take property
'wheresoever or liowsoever situate, as in the
Judgment of the directors or managers of such
corporation. because of the exigencies of bust
public in its nature are necessary for the
erection of freight or passenger dcpots aud
for all other legitimate purposes of such Cor
poration.' This is, perhaps, the londest as
Bertion of corporate power ever proposed. A
railroad is given the original right TO take
property necessary to its uses as an agency
for the public good and the development of
commerce and the country. But once estab-
lishe1, It's lines laid and lis depos establish
cd, it would seem that the process of con-
dembatioD ought to cease.
sSenator Sewell's bill has no limit to its
operation Some railroad company may de-
eide that the Mutual Benefit Life building
may be necessary for lie legitimate purposes
of such corporation Another may want the
First Church aud the old graveyard because
Of the exigencies of business, or because Of
any other matter or thing public in lis nature,
{ in the Judgment Of the directors or managers
Of such corporation The whole river front
Of The Passaic might he taken by the railroads
under this proposed law. 1t will bear a little
consultation and debate"
But strange TO say. this bill passed the Sem

The reckless foolishness which permits a
builder to take and place an end of joist
close to hot air hue is absolutely incompre-
hensible. Itwould cost nothing worth speak
ing of, either in money or trouble, to place a
joist in a safe position or to protect it abso-
lutely and the builder knows that unless he
takes such a precaution the building will
always be in jeopardy of destruction by fire.
And yet builders go on year after year, put
ting up ediflces which are defective in this
particular and year after year all kinds of
structures from magnificent and costly
churches to humble dwellings, are destroyed
by fires that could have been prevented.

Judge Tourgee, in a letter, says that the
cry that host of Northern adventures in
vaded the South at the close of the war and
took possession of all the lucrative offices, is
disproved by the records of the time, which
show that only very meagre percentage of
offices was ever filled by Northern men. Not
one tenth of ono per cent. of the entire popu-
lation South have gone from the North, and
the South is responsible for its own misgov-
eminent because of its ostracism of all persons
of Northern ideas.

sert that Sheriff Toiiey and ex-Assemblyman
Frank Fry never travel together, but if u cur
rent story represents the truth, there must
have been one occasion ut least when they
made visit to the Legislature in each other

in Trenton, they jumped into a cab driven by
colored coachman.
The dusky driver had seen the Sheriff before.
He had driven the Sheriff to the portals OF
the State Prison on occasions when the Sheriff
had some live stock that had been found
guilty of crime in Judge Garretsons Court to
deliver them there. The colored driver, on
the occasion referred to, bowed respectfully
to the Sheriff, curled his lip to his companion,
slammed the door of the coach, and then
leapiDg to his box, give the whip to his horses
aud started of. The Sheriff and the ex-
Member were recalled from their confidential
CHAT by sort OF dim consciousness that the
ride TO the State House was an unusually long
one. Both turned their eyes out of the win
dows of the carriage. None of the familiar
Sign posts of the road to the capitol building
met their gaze. Col. Toffey thrust his head
out Of the window and having drawn the at

STAR ROUTE ON THE RIVERS.
A Steamboat Receives $4,000 For
Carrying an Empty Mail bag.

Last wear contract was made with
William r. Davidson to carry daily
mail BY packet from St. Paul to 81.
Louis at ST., 100 per annum, the term
commencing July |, 1880, and ending
June 80, 1881. The criminal absurdity
Of any such contract as this is appa-
rent on the face of It, To carry mail
from St Paul to st. Louis by boat
takes abont five days; to do IT by rail
takes one. The service in question
was to be through service between the
two cities. This route was discon-
tinued March 81, 1881. There was
paid regularly the quarterly pay OF
$l7,197 from July ] Of last year to
March 81 Of this year, with one months
extra pay on the discontinuance Of the
route. The amount Of extra pay was
$500. There was deducted from the
pay for failure to perform the service
during the first quarter 1927, during
the next $l3,4l7, and during the third
$15,698. The total amount paid for
this extraordinary service for the three
quarters including the deductions, was
$29,980. The extent of the service
rendered may be understood from the
fact that, after the first protest against
carrying mails in this way had been
overrnled, the postoffice clerk made up
an empty pouch on the boat daily from
St. Paul to st. Louis. To put letters
into it, and to delay them four days
was something which they would not
consent to. So during the life Of the
contract the postoffice authorities went
through the farce of paying man
500, 900 for carrying an empty mail
sack back and forth between St. Paul
and St. Louis.
