The Result in Monroe.

The election in Old Monroe resulted
in the success Of the entire Democratic
ticket as nominated and placed in the
field by the County Convention of July
26th by majorities ranging from 900 to
LOO. It was confronted by ticket
gotten up at the Athens Camp Ground,
which contained several Worfhy gentle
men, several OF whom had heretofore
been honored by the Democracy of the
county, and which would have received
a more liberal vote but for the fact that
it was supported and bolstered up BY the
Republicans and Independents, who
have fought us at every election since
1875. This ticset Tas called By some
"The True Democracy but when the
voters of Old Monroe observed that
every element of opposition that ne have
had. to contend with since the redemp-
ton Of our State and county eight
years ago was represented in lighting
for its success. it was heartily repudiated,
though in many instances the voters
were called upon 20 cast their ballot
against esteemed personal friends-Ab-

Interstate Transportation.

Illinois and Iowa both have laws con
trolling shipments from points within tn
points beyond their State lines. r.
Gently we quoted from the decision o,
the Supreme Court Of Illinois in the cast
Of the State vs. Wabash, ST. Louis and
Pacific Railroad Co, Affirming the col.
stitntional;ty OF the law.
On our first page we have copied the
decision of Judge McCrary of the
United States Circuit Court in low;
directly the reverse Of the illinois Su
preme Court decision. tits to the effect
that State law regulating railway
transportation passing into or through
other States is unconstitut onal, because
Of the provision Of the Federal Consti
tuition which prohibits State legislation
affecting commerce between the States.
The points decided are:
/ That transportation by railroad Is
commerce.
2. The transportation from a place in
one State to a place in another State Is
interstate commerce.
3. To fix the charge for such trans
Portation is to regulate commerce,
i. A statute fixing or limiting the
charges on such transportation is reg
ulation of commerce among States.
5. The power to regulate such com
merce be ongs exclusively to Congress
6. States cannot adopt any regulation
which goes to or may operate injurious
ly to the commerce of other States.
The case will gothic Supreme Court

Court, it viii furnish an overwhelmin.

A PROPOSITION to build railroad
from Columbus, Miss, to Memphis. is
| attracting some attention. The most
probable route is via West Point and
Oxford, as being the most direet.-Jack-
son CLARION.
Conceding that such a proposition is
at all plausible, the CLARION is as far
short of the mark in regard to the route
that would be adopted by railroad build
ers or civil engineers as it has been all
the while on the subject of supervision
of rates. The idea of building rail-
road from Columbus. Mississippi, to
Memphis, via West Point, adopting
new route, while the Memphis & Selma
has already been surveyed and partially
constructed on an air line between the
two points mentioned, would never be
entertained by any corporation who
possesses enough capital to pay for tran
scribing a charter.-Aberdeen Exam

The point of probability as to the two
roads is not worth contending for. Our
statement was made upon information
CLEANED, we think, from our exchanges,
and, if we remember correctly, was
based upon the possibility of a failure
of the road alluded to as already partly
