In hisspeeeh before the committee OF
Congress OH the subject Of regulating
railroads, I CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
made the following quotation from a
speech by Mr. STEPHENSON on the
same subject in the English Parliament,
made some years ago:
"What we want is a tribunal upon
these subjects competent 10 Judge ana
willing to devOte its attention to railway
subjects only. We do not impute 10
Parliament, it is dishonest, but we im-
pute that is is incompetent. Neither its
practical experience nor its time, MOI It's
system of procedure are adapted for rail-
way legislation. 6 6 What We ask
is knowledge. Give U.s." We say, "a
tribunal competent to form a sound
opinion. Commit to that tribunal with
any restrictions you think necessary,
the whole Of the great question apper-
tanning to our system. Let it protect
private Interests away from railways;
delegate to it the power of enforcing
such regulations and restrictions as may
be though needful, to secur the rights
of private persons, or Ofthe public; de-
vofve on it the duty of consolidating, if
possible, the railway laws, and of max
ing such amendments therein as the
public interests and the property now
depending on the system may require;
give it full delegated power over us in
any way you please; all We ask is that
il shall be a tribunal; and, il impartial
ity and intelligence r secured, we do
not fear for the result
MI. ADAMS holds that these words
truly express the present situation, and
that Sin them lies the possible solution
of that railroad problem of which so
much has been said"

The Ruekhannon Railroad Meeting.

The Clarksburg and Weston road was
represented by its President, who, in behalf
of said road, proposed to build a road from

~ COMBINATION.

The last and crOwning act of the most
unreasonable scheme of political cor
ruption in the history of any State Of
the Union, has been cOnsUmmated in
Virginia, by the election of five Judges
to the Supreme Court of Appeals, to
give judicial sanction to the MALONE
Observation-Disclosures plan for read
justing and repudiating the obligations
of that State.
There have been few political schemes
in the history of this country that have
ventured So far as to readjust judicial
tribunals to the demands of political
fcud> and factions, but the MALONE
and ARTHUR alliance seems to compass
everything and everybody that can be
bribed or bought to stand out of the way
Of their purposes.
The present Court of Appeals has
maintained the honor of the State, and
can retire with unstaiued ermine. Their
successors will be called upon to declare
the constitutiOnality of the recent legis-
islation which it was quite sure an un.
corrupt and incoFruptible court wOnld
overthrow.
They will be required to affirm the
RIDDLEBERGER bill which repudiates
all previous funding bills and puts the
State debt, principle and interest, at
about 81, assigning to West Vir-
ginia nearly the sameamount, and which,
as far as Virginia's portion is concerned,
is to be funded anew in bonds bearing
5 per cent. interest.
They want the court first, to destroy
the tax receivable quality of the coupon
bonds which a former act gave them, in
order that the holders may be virtually
compelled to throw away their bonds
which they now hold under a former
settlement with the State. 1t is plain
that persons holding bonds paying from
4 to per cent. interest, with q tax re-
ceiyable quality attaching to the cou-
pons would not voluntarily exchange
them for others bearing less interest and

wHKxLINs-s NEW RAILROAD.

WhbkLANdb NEW kAALnOAOs
The new railroad from Wheeling to
the coke regions is the talk Of the town,
especially among the manufacturers
and the mill men generally. They all
see the absolute necessity of Wheeling
having q road over which she viii have
complete control. 1t is believed that
100000 will be ample money with
which to build and equip the road; and
that 100000 Of this in the shape OF
stocks and bonds will be readily taken
by Wheeling capitalists. A six per cent.
bond Cfsneh q road would be gilt-edged
paper, md would be taken up like hot
cakes.
Allthe manufacturers say: We can
not depend upon getting any perman
entity favorable terms on coke from a
foreign corporation or n not strictly
local in this city. Pittsburgh at one
time got coke for $40 a car, but by an
''agrvement' between rival roads her
manufacturers now are forcedtopaySlS.
Let the Il. & o. extend the Hempfield
through-which it probably will not do
while the present generation is alive-it
will still charge pretty much what it
pleases for delivering coke to Wheeling.
If the much-vaunted VANDERBILT
road, which VANDERBILT never dream
ed Of building, should be built from
Martins Ferry across the hypothetical
bridge and up Wheeling creek, it would
scarcely be completed until by some
pooling or other continuance the pro-
cess of skinning our manufacturers
would he set in vigorous motion.
In the old fable of the Farmer and
the Lark" a forcible lesson is given to
Wheeliug's manufacturers. AS long as
the farmer depended upon his relations
and neighbOrs to cut his grain, the lark
had no fear of being disturbed in her
nest. But when the farmer took off his
coat, spat OH his hands and said: Boys
bring on your siekles and We will cut
our own grain, the lark knew the time
to move had come.
When the manufacturers of Wheel
ing take Off their coats and determine
to build a road to the coke fields which
they will themselves own and control,
then they will get coke on their own
terms. When they do this, hard times
may come, mills in cities less favorably
situated may stand idle, but the Wheel
ing mills can rnn and make money.
In hard times-and We shall have
them again ere many years-the con-
Germ which a procure its supplies most
cheaply is the II that is least affected,
of course; and there are times in which
the difference of $40 or ST. a ton on the
price of coke is the difference between a
semi-annual dividend to stockholders
and a millstandingin idleness and going
to ruin.
These days of prosperity are the
''times of peace when it is judiciOus to
prepare for the war" of dull times. 1t
will not do for Wheeling's manufac-
turers to sit still and allow Pittsburgh
and others to get further advantages
over them. The reeollectiOns of the
recent distress in business ought to he
sufficiently vivid to induce them to
fortify themselves in every possible way
against the coming storm.

ACCORDING to the opinion of the At
torney General there is no realdiffieulty
in the way of the reorganization Of ma
.tional banks whose charters are about
expiring. After going into liquidation
the stockholders Of these banks can
organize anew under the same title as
the expiring associations, if the comp
troller Of the currency approves their
names. This opinion practically con-
tinues the charter of all national banks
desiring to do business in accordance
with existing laws, aud viii necessitate

their continuance before their abolition

WHO WINS:

The Chicago Times is of opinion that
the new apportiOnment will not materi-
ally affect the electoral college, taking
the election of 1850 as a criterion.
Other leading Republican papers are
taking the same view. The Boston
advertiser says: THE South has gain
ed fifteen members and the North
seventeen. The one section will here
after have III members and l53 cleo
torial votes; the other pa members and
24S electoral votes. II we class Virginia
alone in the South rs among doubtful
States, and place New York, New Jer-
sey, Indiana and Nevada among North
ern States in the same list, We shall
have:

Assured Republican vote>.."~."."".""""". lS1

Doubtful Northern IS
"As in the past the State of New York
will still have practically the balance of
power. To I've sure the Republicans
could carry the country by the electoral
votes Of all the Northern States except
New York and New Jersey. They
could not lose New York and Indiana
and still be- successful, without help
from the South. On the other hand the
Democrats cannot be successful, though
carrying all the Southern States, unless
there should he something like a miracle
in their favor, without the vote of New
York In short, the conditions are
scarcely changed by the new appOrtion-
ment."

things political may take in that year.
The New York election of November
next and the general Congressional

Mr.. Blaine is entirely reticent about
the appointment of VIM. Z. Chandler
to the Arthur cabinet; but the exact
relation now existing between Blaine
and Chandler is we'll understood. Chan
dler was one of Blaine's leaders at Gin
cinnati in 1876, and again at Chicago
In 1880, aud 1t was Blaine who prevailed
upon Garfield to nominate Chandler as
solicitor general. The promise was
made to Blame before Mac eagh had
been called TO the cabinet, aud the
nomination WAS sent 10 tue senate with
out consulting acVeagl; President
Garfield regarding it AS II personal obli-
CATION to Blaine. He knew little of the
history or standing of public men, aud
he-never supposed that the appointment
OF Chandler as the subordinate of Mac
Veagh would be offensive to that gen
tleman. AS o as the nomination OF
Chandler had been sent to the senate
Attorney General Mac eagn protested
against the appointment.
Tine amlable president was distressed
Mt the issue raised between Blaine and
MacVeagh. He felt that Blame nad
no right TO press ali unacceptable man
upon u fellow cabinet officer, and that
Mac feagh was entitled To have a sulIc-
itor general III who's integrity ana
ability lie had entire confidence. Tue
matter was held IN oUvyaHce for sew
eral days, when MacVeagn brought il
To II direct issue with the president. by
saying that he could not remain III tile
caulnet with Chandler AS his chief sub
ordinate. 1t was then thai he told the
president that lie had never head Of
Chandler AS n lawyer in the courts; that
Chandler had never tried Il case that he
had heard Of III the supreme court, the
district court, or the court of claims;
that his profession as a lawyer was sim
ply II cover for his regular trade us a
lobbyist, aud that there could not be
harmony in the administration of the
department of justice unless either W
lawyers or two lobbyists were made
attorney general and solicitor general.
The president assured MacVeagh
that Chandler would not become solicit
tor general, without indicating how the
matter would be dispo ed Of. With
that assurance Mac Veagh rested, and
he look no part In the defeat of Chan
dler's confirmation. Chandler was ap.
pealed to by many Of his friends to re-
lieve the president, Blaine and Mac
Veagh, by consenting to the withdrawal
OF bis nomination, but he refused, and
forced the senate to meet the question
squarely, resulting In his rejection by
ave majority.
Chandler expected Blaine to throw
himself into the breach and a v him
in the senate, but Blaine could not do
so without injustice TO both Garfield
and Mac Veagh, and Chandler charged
bis defeat to Blaine. Since then Chan
