A School Girls Romance.

HARTFORD, CONN, April 8.-William B.

leased from the jail at Bristol, Rhode Island,

The New York Sun says that Jay Goulds
recent trip South was not mere pleasure trip
as reported. 1t was the initial step of great
scheme-the connection of his Southwestern
system with the Southern ports of the At
lantic. The building of his yacht seems to
have developed nautical dispositions in him.
He wants to take hold of New Orleans,
Brunswick, Savannah and Norfolk as sea-
board outlets for his Southwestern system.
The Virginia. Tennessee and Georgia rail-
road, which runs to these ports, connects at
Memphis with a branch road of Gould's
known as the Memphis and Little Rock rail-
road, which is a part of the Iron Mountain.
and consequently of the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn. The Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia
line is controlled by the George l. Seney syn
dictate, and combination between il and
Jay Gould is to be the great card in the de-
velopment of the South. There is plenty of
work yet to be done in order to complete tho
development of the scheme, and there are
several short connecting roads to be built. In
these details he does not intend to take any
active interest. leaving the construction part
of the scheme in the hands of the Seney syn
dictate, which proved so successful in building
tie Nickel-Plated road and saddling it upon
Vanderbilt By the time he returns from his
trip abroad the construction will be completed,
and he will set, fresh and reinvigorated, to the
working out of his new Southern scheme.
With the constantly increasing competition of
the great roads terminating in Boston, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, with the development
Of the Mississippi freight traffic, and with this
new scheme of great Southwestern highway
to the ocean, the outlook of the old trunk
lines like the New York Central and the Erie
does not appear to be very encouraging.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection OF the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. AT times, symptoms of indigestion
are present, as tlatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach etc. moisture like perspiration,
producing very disagreeable itching, partic
very common attendant. Blind Bleeding and
itching piles yield at once 10 the application of
Dr Bosankos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
mon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors
aIIaying the intense itching, and eifectinR a
narmanent cure where all other remedies have
failed. Price 80 cents. Sold by O. Sohasse, A.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.): What does
Rosa in the West when dynamite is flying so
thickly in the East
Boston Herald Gnd): One by one the
old Stalwarts have dropped away from the
President. There is this consolation for Mr..
Arthur-the farther he gets from the old
crowd the nearer he will be to the people.
Galveston Print independently: Wonder If
it affords the New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago papers any satisfaction to throw mud
at Tom OchiltreeY They go at it as if they
were paid for it.
Philadelphia Telegraph: Unquestionably,
the current of revolution is deep and strong in
Ohio, and it will require extraordinary skill
and energy on the part of the Republican
managers to recover the State either this year
or next.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.): Al
though very little has been said of late about
civil service reform, il is evident that the Adj
minsualion intends to carry out the provis-
ions of the Pendleton bill in good faith and
to give the experiment a thoroughly fair
trial.
Washington Post (Dem.) The present
situation in its relations to the campaign OF
next year is all that the most sagacious Dem
ocratic politician could wish. The intense
desire OF Republicans to have the Democrats
tackle the tariff is the most natural thing in
the world--as natural as the desired action
would be foolish, in view of certain failure.
Galveston News: In dealing with the
school tax question, the Legislature has fully
redeemed for the Texas Democracy the pledge
OF the Galveston convention to provide, by
constitutional amendment, for a separate and
permanent revenue from taxation for an eff.
6cient system Of public free schools. And il
has shown equal solicitude for the genera
cause OF education in voting to set apar
1000 600 acres of land out Of the public deb
reservation, half for the State university and
half for the free schools.
OF the advantages of the proposed Florida
canal the New Orleans Times emocrat says
1t will shorten the distance to New York
London, Liverpool and all other North At
lantic ports 814 miles for steamers anc
slightly more for sailing vessels, the time be
ing from three to eight days shorter than a
present. The reduction in insurance alone
will be Sd, 600 600 a year. This, with the
time saved, the freight saved, and the dangers
of the VOYAGE reduced, represents the annua
value of this canal and the income it will en-
Joy when constructed.
New York Sun independently: In view o
the grave events now transporting in Grea
Britain the people of this country will watcl
closely the proceedings of the approaching
congress of Instantaneous at Philadelphia
viii that assembly heed Parnelps fierce de
nunciaton of the evils done to Ireland by tn,
apostles of murder and destruction? Or will
the action of the congress be controlled b,
two incendiary newspapers, which would
gladly ruin Parnell and Davitt because the,
cannot control them, and by hall dozen ref
ugees who care not to what peril they expos
their countrymen at home, and who know
nothing about American public sentiment?

STATE RIGHTS DECISIONS,

Ine United States supreme senrt is
t~hnnderlng forth a good many consti-
tional interpretations and, dscisiess
which strike at the heart Of q long.
maintained republican policy. aud dis
sipsse loag cherished notions in
republican minds. Tive such decis.
ions we're rendered Moaday the state OF
Louisiana furnishing the occasion for
both OF them. In n the cour re.
fuaes to issue IN order compelling the
governor, auditor aud treasurer OF that
state to apply certain moneys to the
payment OF interest on its bonds. Ii is
clear enough that The state ought to
pay the interest on the bonds: and
further 1t is clear that 1t ought to
apply the very moneys specified to
this purpose. 1t may be added that Il
is positively d~lsoreditable to the peo. !
pie of Louisiana to violate the solemn
pledge contained in these bonds nv
attempting to repudiate them. But
the request that the United States
supreme court shall interpose to make
the state pay its debts is q horse al
enother color, The court holaa that
1t is the duty Of the governor, auditor
and treasurer of the state 10 obev its
laws, not the orders of 9 federal court:

In the next case esrAaia New York
q New Hampsh,ie citizens, holders
of unpaid Louisiana bonds, made a
show OF, transferring their claims to
their states, and their states then
asked the supreme court to compel the
state of Louisiana to pay its obliga-
tions. But again, the court refuses to
attempt the difficult task it is reqnest-
ed to assume. 1t is true, the constitu-
tiou provides that state may sue
another IN the United States supreme
court but this is noL a case of the kind
provided; Tor. 1.-The suits are in effect
not the suits OF. the states Of New York

Vidual citizens Of these states against
another state; the state OF New York
and New Hampshire are merely
endeavering 10. &C. as collecting agents
for their cltizeus-and this cannot be
allowed"
These decisions and the several
others OF q similar nature that have
preceded them will have the effect of
bringing the northern mind. so long
disturbed by mistaken republican
theories of government, back to its
sober senses. Republican assumptions
and usurpations have created q vague
impression that the federal govern
