This Is tmphatically the age OF T'iIIoauS'

older roads are quietly addingto their iacll-
Ties and extending their connections. nv

most pros perou. and enterprlsing railroads

pelkc aud OHIO is 10 Virginia ana the SOu'h'

The western terminus was nc the city OF

above Cincinnati aud 3lJ miles below Puts
burgh. Now the road stretches from Rich
mond down the peninsula, between the
York and james rivers, distance OF seven
ty-tiye miles to Newport News, with its ad'
mirabIc harbor, making most conYe-
nient and accessible shipping port. Al the

A Democr tic paper IN Massachusetts,

cratic State IN the Union, will soon have a
school fund Of $l0O,0 900, the largest by

estimate OF the value Of the public lands,

stroy the boosted Democratic s0lidity OF
Texas Just as soon rs a new generation Of
voters has been educated.

Very Good Reason.

The reason why men connected with the
rlyer traffic are not deeply troubled over
tie discontinue OF cX Senator COnknng IS
because he has devoted considerable OF bis
tine IN opposing improvements OF western
rivcrs, in the way Of appropriations, ana
showing what looked a COCA deal like per-
souaI spite To bills Tending TO facilitate BUSH
ness on our Waters.-- PHtSbltrgh Chr0nlCte.
No wonder that those who are vitality
interested 10 having the channels OF the
Ohio and Mississippi ami their tributaries
dcep,ned aud widcncd should feel little
sympathy for MI. C0NKLING i'm bis defeat
and humiliation, for as chairman OF the
Senate Commerce Committee he was always
the outSpOktn and determined enemy OF
every river and harbor bill that came before
tie upper house Of Congress during his
senatorial lcrm. And yet Senator VIII
LIAM MALONE deliberately voted for
HIM and against General RANSOM as
chairman OF the Commerce Commit
tee. He did this with full know
ledge Of the fact that Mr. CONKLING was
opposed TO appropriations 10y the General
Government for the improvement OF rivers
aud haI bors, and that General RANSOM was
on the record I'm favor Of most liberal aP'
propratiOns for this purpose. In Tact, the
Carolina Senator had not only voted for the
Improvement of the rivers OF North Caro-
Ina, Virginia, &c, but he had urged that
continuous line Of inland navigation from
Norfolk TO Florida should be established, so
that the dangers Of Hattcrss could be
avoided 10y sailing vessels and steamers.
Tnis vote OF Yirginia's junior senator for
CoNKLING in ils prsctical effects was
even worse than that he gave, to
quote "the language Of JOIN GooDE,"
for "the notorious KELLOGG over the
peerless LAMAR for chairman OF the SEN
ATE Committee On Railroads." Now, as
tae June Convention endorsed the course OF
General MALONE in the Senate, ii commit
ted the party TO these votes. Hence il the
people along The Ohio, for reasons given toy
the PITTSBURGH Chronicle, should have no
sympathy for Mr.. CONKLING, surely the
people Of Virginia have no reason TO ap-
prove the vote Of General MALONE for
CoyKIING as chairman OF the Senate Com
niece Committee.

nvs,uess cor,he President

about the embarrassment in some u the de-
partmeuts in consequence OF the continued
inability OF the President TO perform any 81
the functions OF his Office, and in certain re-
>pects The matter is regarded rs assuming a
very important aspect. For instance in the
Department OF Justice there are petitions
for pardon OF men who are under sentence
Of death, ana who must be executed IN
compliance with the orders OF the coult
within The next thirty days unless the Pie'l-
dent gets well enough in that time to con-
slider their cases or direct suspension oil
their sentences until such time rs he can
give attention 10 the cases. II i SAID at the
Department that there are number OF I'M
portaut cases where immediate executive
action is demanded, but OF course nothing
can be done until the President RECEIVERS,

eral to act without the direct authority OF
