there is no small danger of conflict of
laws. There can .e no doubt that all
the rights belonging to both classes of
powers can be maintained, and yet
these rights must be carefully defined
and guarded. Onegreatdangera against
which we must guard is that the rail-
road interest. wearied and annoyed by
legislation on both sides, may prefer
that all the legislation shall be on one
side, and in that case it will be sure to
choose the stronger one, and will throw
it's whole weight in favor of centraliza-
ton. This is going on fast enough al
ready. There never has been q time
when there was greater need than now
in our State and national councils for
men of ripe judgment and broad, clear
views. and to-day they seem to be hard
to be found.

Railroads i'm M MissOuri.

The report of the Railroad Commits
sioners of the State of Missouri for the
year 1881, has reached our table. It is
an octave phamphlet of 15s pages, and
is q model OF conciseness, containing a
clear statenient of the railroad busi-
ness Of our great State. 1t is not our
intentions to republish the report, but
merely to set out some features of it.
At the close of 1881 there were in op-
peration 4, ,2S4 miles of railroad, of which
227 miles had been made during the
year. Seventeen new companies were
organized. There il now an average
of one mile of railroad to every fifteen
square miles of territory and to every
$40 inhabitants. Only twenty one
counties in the State do not have a
railroad. Total stock and bond liabili-
ties, S254, ,9aS, 200, or an average of
S6s,OO0 per mile; the total earnings,
SIC, ,s39 ,s27.74, or Sc. .ss9 per mile.
To show how complete the report
s> 1t May be stated that steel rails
have been laid on 2, 4le miles of road,
32s miles having been laid during last
year; also, 22B miles Of baliasting,and
1871 ,9Sl new ties were laid.
The report shows a full comparison
of our railroads with those Of other ma
tions, and taken altogether is very
satisfactory document.
The growth Of our railroad system is
full of interest and Importance. Be
tween the power of Congress to regu-
late commerce between the States and
the power of the States to regulate
commerce within their owp limits,

The press of the country which have
any regard whatever for the prophecies
of life, without exception, speak in a
denunciatory manner of the selection of
that blatant disappearing infdel, Robert
G. Ingersoll, as orator of the day in New
York on Decoration day. The Balti-
more Day especially handles the unbe-
lieving South hater and stalwart without
gloves, and speak of him in the follow
ing bitter but truthful manner;
"But Ingersoli, with the brutality which
marks his whole career; which made him
the blatant preacher of an accused gospel
of hate toward the South when it was
turning toward the North in 1876 with
what Bayard Taylor called "sad returning
love-" which makes him a noisy black
guard in a court Of justice as counsel
for the star route men, takes a delight
in deriding the most sacred feelings
and sensibilities of all who believe in
the gospel he rejects. He sneers at and
ridcules them, laughs their faith to
scOrn, and makes their holy of holes the
foot ball of his verbal frOlics. He is in
short, as we said in the beginning, a
blasphemous blackguard, an overflow
ing fountain of sentimental gush and
'sweetened wind but brute at heart
conscienceless, shameless, wicked, and
proud to so advertise himself. 1t was
an insult to the memory of the dead, an
outrage on the sensibilities of the living
and an assault on the Christian and every
other religion to make him a peoples
spokesman over the sacred graves of their
honOred dead"

Mr.. James r. Randall, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Augusta OhrOnt-
Gle and CouStitutiondIist, writing to that
paper under date of the 1st inst, says:
"Mr. Stephens was much gratified at
the general drift of recent article in
the Savannah News. but says it does
not, in one particular, represent him
accurately. He restates that, two years
ago, his Independent a. ton was not
based upon running anyhow, if the con-
vention nominated another person, but
only in case that convention read him
out of the party, because of his course
on the Potter resolution. He declares
that had the convention chosen some
one else, without rebuking or repudl
ating him. he would have submitted and
retired. But this is past issue"
We are very glad that Mr.. Stephens
makes this statement, and to know that
he was not actuated by the spirit of dc
lance to his party, which not only the
NEWS but every other paper in Georgia
certainly credited him with when two
years ago he declared that he intended
'to stand for reelection. As we stated
in the article alluded to by Mr.. Randall,
that was, to our mind, his most grieVous
political offense, and if he can-as our
Washington correspondent states else
where this morning he intends to do
set himself right before the Democracy
of Georgia on this point, it will tend de
cidedly to remove what feeble opposition
there yet remains in the State to his
being accorded the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor on the 10Th of July.

The Fyvntfau MIDDLE.

Amid the mass Of statements to this
and that effect telegraphed from Cairo
and the various capitals Of Europe, the
fact is becoming clear that Arab Bey
and the Porte are playing big game,
with fair prospects of winning. France
and England took the initiative IN the
task of restoring order in Egypt, and dis
patched their war vessels to Alexandria
to overawe Arab and his followers.
The war ships are still at their anchor
age. and Arab is more defiant than ever.
The Khedive kept his contract with the
allies and deposed him. But Arab de-
manded and secured his reinstatement,
and now declares the Khedive's reign at
an end.
Though Mr.. Gladstone is not appre
bensive, the Khedive may be dead
man OF a fugitive ere the deluge OF di-
plomatic correspondence is complete,
and farther step taken in the work Of
quietiDg Egypt. THIS task it would ap-
pear is to be delegated to the Porte by
the proposed Congress Of the powers
But the Sultan asserts that his suze-
rainty over Egypt gives him the right,
which the powers would confer, and he
has concluded to take the task to him
self. If he makes haste, the Congress
would be somewhat farcicsl when con-
vened, unless it came to other conclu-
sions than the one cut out for If.
The outcome of the crisis will most
probably be the conversion of Egypt
into a simple Turkish province, for
the concession of the Sultan's right to
restore order comedies his further right
to govern the country. 10th as Glad
stone and the Liberals are to sustain the
Porte, England will be compelled, by
reason Of the large interests which her
citizens have IN Egypt and its situation
with regard to her Indian possessions, to
exercise a protectorate over the country.
As the Sultan is Suzerain of Egypt, to
protect Egypt England must become the
Porte's strong ally, ard thus the wisdom
Of Beaconsfeld is INDICATED. The
Comptr0llers General, by reason of their
ability and honesty, will, doubtless, be
preferred to Egyptian officials by the
Sultan in the management of the finances
OF Egypt, and it is not likely the Brit sh
and French creditors will suffer.
On the whole it appears that England
has managed matters shrewdly. The
dispatch of ironclads to the Nile was a
sufficient compliance with the require
menfs of national honor, but as she
could not land troops without the con-
sent of the powers. the dele gation of the
task of restoring order to her old ally is
lust as well as il she had undertaken il
herself. It is easier to rule Egypt from
Constantinople than from London, and
it is less risky to employ an agent to
perform the work than undertake it her.
self. Numerous contingencies may arise
in the near future, when, if she con-
cludes to annex Egypt bodily, the work
can be accomplished without mourning
the dangers that might be run did she
attempt to do so now.
