RAILROAD REGULATION IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Legislature of Mississippi has not
acted wisely in reference to the question OF
regulating transportation corporations.
The State win certainly regret inaction, if
it is long continued. The House of Repre-
sentatives passed two bills for a railroad
commission, and the Senate passed an anti
discrimination bill. There was a fourth
bill before the Legislature, but the Jackson
CLARION anticipated the failure of all
measures, and we have not observed that
any passed both houses It is a pity that
agreement could not be reached on so inn
portant subject as railroad regulation.
The chains Of railroad domination are so
securely fastened on New York that no one
expects the enactment of restrictive legis-
lation at Albany; but Mississippi ought to
take warning from so marked an example
Of the ills Of delay, and enforce her right Of
control before the power Of monopoly is
seriously felt.-New Orleans Picayune.

THE territories are held in trust by
the federal government for the benefit
of the people of the States. It violates
this trust when it permits the first
squatters to institute laws and customs

christianity as to exclude from the ter
ritory all who are not idolaters of their
beastly crimes. The anti-polygamy bill

THE Aberdeen Examiner endorses
all that THE CLARION says upon the
subject of a subscription in Mississip-
pi for the Garfield movement at Cleve-
land, and supplements It with the re-
mark that Mississippi owed nothing to
Garfield in the days of strength and
power, and certainly has,as little reason
to build him a monument as she had to
build one to Thadeous Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, or to Senator Morton, of
Indiana.

the way, we inadvertently omitted his
name in mentioning the Senators who
had actively opposed the Congressional
apportionment bill.

By the following which we find in the
Greenville Mississippian, it viii be seen
that the overflow has not entirely de-
stroyed the confidence of capitalists in
the value ofthe Mississippi river lands :
Mai. Startling and several other gentle
men residing within a few miles of this
point have eonsummated sale to a company
of Northern capitalists of their several
tracts of land. The food did not seem to
have any influence in breaking off negotia-
tions that have been pending for some
months. Nobody acquainted with the fer
tility of our soil, and the ordinary features of
the topography of the swamps would be
surprised at the faith of these capitalists.
Rumor has it that the purchases amount to
about $500, 900, of which amount Maj. Star
ling received $4,000 for the Sunnyside
place, perhaps the prettiest and most mag
nifeent plantation in the world. 100000
was offered for the same place just prior to
the war.
