1t is necessary TO hold n general alcc.
tion every two years for the choice Of
members of the Legislature und county
officers, nor wou}d it be right or expe
dient to alter the terms of the former
even if it cuuld he douo without chang
ing the constitution. Two yenrs is long
enough for any delegation of power for
Legislative purposes, so far as the state
is concerned. Under ordinary circum-
stances there couid be no ol lection TO
holding congressional elections Mt tie
same time and under the supervision of
the same officers, hut these elections
have frequently become occasions fer
federal interference and will continue to
be regarded as such, until a change b.
taken place in the national adminislu
ton. Such a change is imminent, but
mere prospect onght not to prevent
effort to guard against the evils that now
exist. The state elections ought rs soon
as possible be so wholly separated from
presidential and congressional elections
as not to pif)rd the slightest excuse for
Interference under the most radical cons
struction OF the present law. This end
can easily and iucypeusively he accom-
plished by having different boxes under
the management Of entirely distinct
officers for he state and for the federal
elections. In this w0y the elections nav
be held at the same time and place and
yet he kept practically separate. 1t is
always desirable to have as full an cx.
preston Of popular opinion as possible
AMI the holding Of both elections on the
same day would secure this, while the
Separation OF the voting places by the
interval OF few hundred yards would |
leave the people uutrammolel in their
choice OF stale officers, at least. Federal |
interference, thus restricted, would be- |
come less profitable to federal officials
and would probably be less frt qucntly, |
if not less Extensively, exercised. What |
the people of Mississippi want-and |

secured from vc2lhlus aud oppressive
interference by keeping both kinds

st. Louis Republican: Comptroller Knox
of the treasury department 10 possessed
of the very genius of finance. He has
found the philosophers stone, or at the
very least a good substitute for it. He
unfolds plan for refuuding the national
debt, by which he shows by the conclu
sive evidence of mathematics how the
government may make $86, 422, 600 and
at the same time and by the same token
and in the same transaction of the people
who refund their bonds make $4,000, 900
as clean as whistle. This is to be &C
complished by refunding $75S, 900, Goo If
Comptroller Knox had an unlimited field
that is, debt of two or three billions to
handle, he could make enough to pay off
the amount of our present national obli-
cations and at the same time enrich
everybody he traded with. The tavern
keeper who performed the creditable feat
of putting seven men in six beds, giving
all bed apiece, was a mere journeyman
in economical management in comparison
with the comptroller of national banks.
Our readers were informed by telegraph
how this alchemist of finance conld ac-
complish the work proposed. Nothing
so brilliant has been evoked since the

The startling increase in the number

The startling increase in the number of
absolute divorces granted by the New
York courts has attracted attention. The
number of applications filed during the
summer vacation was also extraordinary.
Under the statutes of New York there is
only one cause for absolute divorce, and
the offending party should be interdicted
from marrying during the lifetime of the
other At present, however, suits are
entered by collision, trials are conducted
secretly, and DEGREES are granted in a
reckless manner, without much regard to
the spirit of the law AS many DEGREES of
divorce have been, entered in the offices
of the three courts that have Jurisdiction
in such cases during the last five years as
in the preceding eight. In each case the
number was about /, 400. Especially has
the increase been startling since the sum.
mer of 1881. The total number in 1886
was 218, in 1881 it was 253, in 1882 it
was 316, and the number of DEGREES al
ready entered up to September of this veal
is 2l5. Inasmuch as the number of ap
plications during the summer vacation
was extraordinarily large, and the mos
of these are still before referees or I'M
tried, the entire number for this veal
promises to foot up more than 400-ol
about twice as many as were ever granted
in any year preceding 1879.
