The post office at Birmingham, Ala,
was burglarized on the night of the 9Th
and the safe robbed of one thousand
four hundred and four dollars in money
order funds, $500 in currency of post
age funds, 81 800 in postage stamps,
thirty registered letters, contents un-
known, a number of important private
papers, valuable diamond ring and a
small amount of private funds. The
safe was a large one of Halls make.
such as are used by bankers. and show
ed that the work of the robbers had
been skillfully done; hole had been
drilled through the door at point near
the combination handle, and the open
ing thus made admitted the breaking of
the combination so that the safe could
be opened. Two men were arrested at
Nashville Wednesday morning having
in their possession valise stuffed with
money, postage stamps, diamonds and
kit of burglars tools. They were re-
cog lied as being w. d. Lambert, who
figured some time ago in several walk
ing matches at Nashville, and his pal, a
fellow called Simpson. There is no
DOUBT as to their being the robbers of
the safe at Birmingham, and it is be-
lieved they are implicated in the late
robberies at Nashville and franklin.

President Arthur had q little mis-
hap at Washington on Tuesday of
last week, which we are glad result
cd no more seriously than it did.
While he and his daughter were on
their way to the wedding of Miss
Brewster their carriage was run in
to by n carriage in the rear, and the
pole of the latter broke through a
panel, but did not strike either of
the occupants. On theirreturn from
the church, the wheels of the Pres
ident's carriage became lOcked'with
those of several others, and, finding
that his already damaged vehicle
could not be extricated without long
delay, the President abandoned it
and walked home with his daughter
through the rain.

The Carolina, Cumberland Gap
and Chicago Railway traverses $50
miles of the best cotton fields of
South Carolina and through West
ern North Carolina, Eastern Ten
nessee and South eastern Kentucky
it bisects the largest undeveloped
area of timber, coal, iron, marble
and other minerals within the Uni
ted States.
The courses of other railroads in
this general section of country ap-
proximate the area of a circle of
which this line forms the chord. 1t
is practically an air line. Compar-
ed with all existing lines, this road
shortens the rail distance between
Chicago and Charleston, S. c., via
Cincinnati 155 miles, via Louisville
PIP miles. 1t shortens the distance
between Cincinnati and Charleston
152 miles, between Louisville and
Charleston 157 miles.
In this era of progress where rap
id transportation is so necessary for
success in commercial affairs, such
figures stand forth in bold relief as
the best evidences of the great i'm
portance of this route.
When the scheme of building the
South Carolina Railroad was first
conceived this great highway to the
Northwest was the actual objective
point. Its realization by this gen
GRAFTON will be a tardy tribute to
the foresight and enterprise of such
men as Hamilton and Hayne who
were among the first to agitate this
magnificent project. The total es-
timated cost of the road is placed at
S11, 052,699 80. The average cost
per mile is estimated at $23, 667 As.
The estimates for construction in
South Carolina are'less than on any
other part of the line.
The financial affairs of the road
are being placed on a substantial
basis and as soon as all the necessary
preliminaries are complied with the
work will be vigorously prosecuted.
More than this we are not at hber-
ty to publish at this time.

The following is the bill introduce

Head, the chairman of the judiciary
committee. The World says that il
will afford Gov. Bate real pleasure
TO sign such n bill With this
Htimation from a power behind the
throne more potent than the throne
itself, it will be passing strange if
Legislative, judicial and party "dead-
headism" isn't stricken from the
platform very soon. And il is well
enough, if it doesn't turn out one of
Marks's salary reforms:
Section 1. Be il enacted by the
General Assembly Of the State of

The State of Tennessee, by Hou.
B. J. Lea, encouragement, on the
9th, filed a bill in the Chancery
Court at Nashville, against the Mer-
chants National Bank, on account
of transactions with ex-Treasurer
Polk. The bill seeks to collect s57, =
$50, for which, il is alleged, the
bank is liable, although it admits
that the bank has paid the amount
on Mr.. Folks check. 1t is under
stood the bank will, in a few days,
file its answer TO the bill, and show
fully the entire facts, covering all
its transactions between il and the
State treasury, which will be an
ample vindication of its integrity
and good faith, in all its dealings
with the State and its agents.

In appointing a Commissioners of Ag-
riculture for the State, Gov. Bafe was
fortunate in selecting gentleman thor
oughly identified with the best interests
of the farmer. AMI fully alive 20 the i'm
portance and magnitude of the position.
Msjar A j. McWhirter, the new Com
missioner, is a good man for any posi-
ton. He has intelligence, capacity, en-
ergy and honesty, fully developed by
the labors Of an active life, and what
ever he undertakes is with resolution
and determination which no obstacle
deters nor position thwarts.
The Chattanooga Democrat, from
which we clip this paragraph, cred
its it to the Nashville Southern In
duStrleS. The Industries is an Ag-
ricultural magazine with depart
ments for every field it seeks to fill
and edited by a corps of writers
stretching TO the crack of doom.
We have not received the publica-
ton for the current month and don't
know from which one of its many edi-
tors the above endorsement eman-
ated. We only rise to explain that
our comments of week before last
upon Mr.. McWhirter's unfitness for
the place of Commissioner of Agri-
culture were based entirely upon
opinions expressed by prominent
agriculturists and others who pro-
fessed to speak of his incompetency
from intimate acquaintance with
the gentleman. Among others, we
gathered a great deal from a gentle
man who is not only a prolific writ

wicked associates. We feel sure an

The Car of Russia issued a man
ifesuo on the 9th giving notice of his
coronation at Moscow on the 9th
of May. 1t is addressed to all
Russian subjects" A ukase orders
the attendance at Moscow on the oc-
casion of the coronation of all mar
shals of the nobility and projects of
provincial capitals, except those of
Siberia, whose attendance is excus-
ed on account of distance, and the
Presidents of the rural and urban
administrations. The Minister of
the Household Is charged with the
duty of making the necessary pre-
parations. The London Times, in
commenting on the manifesto, says:
" Much too little attention Is attract
ed by the subsistence of the revolu-
tionary storm and the reassertion of
ascendancy by the permanent forces
of Russian society. The events eff
the last few weeks indicate the
break up, at any rate for the pres
ent, of the wicked and sterile con-
spiracy. st. Petersburg has resum-
ed its normal appearance. The pal
ace is open TO guests, and the pro-
gramme of the Cars movements is
announced for the next three
months"

meet the interest as it aecrues upon
the bonds so issued, and ms this can
alone be done by the levy and col
lection of taxes, you are invoked to
act with clear understanding of
our situation, and with all possible
economy.
The policy should be to pay in
full what the people actually owe,
and to settle, upon just and equita-
bic terms, that which is called in
question by a large mass of our best
citizens, and against which equities
exist.
If the terms, in substance. of the
contemplated act are not accepted
by our creditors, then believing, as
we do, that the cardinal doctrine OF
the right of the people to instruct
their representatives, / see nothing
at present that can be done; certain
ly not until the people elect repre-
sentatives again, two years hence,
with a full knowledge of your action
and that of the creditors in the
premises.
With regard to all other matters,
such as relief to the supreme court,
public education, charitable institu-
tons, State Board of Health, land
titles, ETC., the message contains
valuable suggestions but, remark
able to say, it entirely ignores that
industry in which three-fourths of
the people of the State are engaged
it does not mention Mr.. McWhir-
ter's Bureau of Agriculture, Stats
tics, Mines and immigration How
is this2 W-what's up? After dis
cussing the rights of the people in
connection with the railroads, the
Governor concludes the message and
the subject by recommending
A RAILROAD COMMISSION.
In order, therefore, to relieve as
far as possible the complaint of I'M
equal, and unjust, and invidious
rates of charges by railroad COM
panies in the transmission of freight
and passengers in Tennessee, L
recommend an enactment by you to
establish a railroad commission, the
duty ofwhich shall be to regulate,
as far as practicable, the tariffs of
transportation on railroads, and
such other kindred duties apper-
tanning to this vast interest as you
may deem proper to impose upon
them. l suggest that this commits
sion of three capable persons; that
their duties be prescribedas minute
ly and accurately as practicable,
and when appointed they be put
under oath and proper bonds; that
the term of office of Teach commission
shall be for two years, and that they
shall be chosen by the electors as
TO the General As
are chosen; except for the
first term of appointment, which
shall commence as soon as after the
passage of the act authorizing the
same as practicable, and extend I'M
til the next general election for rep
in 1884, and that for
this last named period be elected by
Inc General Assembly now in session
hat they be paid quarterly by the
State an annual salary of-dollars
or their services; that they be. re-
luired to make such official reports
1t stated intervals, and publish the
anne, as the public interest may re-
luire.
