rHE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Governor Thompson appointed Ex-
Gov Bonham, Of Richlard, Gen james
Conner, of Charleston, and Ex-Govrr-
.Te.cr, Of Union, ns the Railroad Com
missinncrs under the late .ct Of the Leg.
islnture. with ,crms Of six, four and two
years each. These appointments have
given very great satisfaction to the pco-
pie of the State, and very general regret
was fell. everywhere at Gen. Conner's de-
clinution to serve.
There is, however, no doubt that Gov.
Thompson will appoint good man in
his place, and that :hc new law will be
given fair :rial by sagacious anil pru-
dent men. Gov. Thompson has had u
great responsibility put upon him by tho
Legislature, in requiring these appoint
ments to be made by the Governor, but
he has met it successfully, and given to
the State as capable, rs upright and in
every way az acceptable n commission as

thinkers Of the age, for example, were
taken from us-Chnrles Darwin and
Ralph Waldo Emerson. Science and
philosophy mourn also the death OF the
two Diapers, father and son.
Henry w. Longfsllow heads the list Of
dead poets. Rossetti, who held no infe.
rior place among English poets, followed
closely after. The world mourns also the
loss Of Anthony Trollope and Berthold
Auerbach. both novelists of merit and
wide popularity; George T. Marsh

The church has lost DR.. TAFT, Arch
bishop of Canterbury, and DR.. Pusey,
who started a movement that has left a
deep impression on the English church.
Of dead soldiers should be mentioned the
Italian liberator, Garibaldi the hero of
Plevna, Skobeleff; tho Russian soldier
of Central Asia, Kaufman, snd General
Ducrot, OF the French army. In this
connection, perhaps, mention should be
made of Louis Blanc, whose life was one

Massachusetts,, Lapham of California,
Washburne Of Wisconsin, and Deni.

An Honest Republican.

HARTFORD, Conn, December 81
VIM. II. Bulkeley, Republican candidate
for Governor in the late election, has
written the followin letter:
HARTFORD. December 81, 1882.
CMAs. J. COLE, Esq, Chairman Re-
publican State Committee-Dear Sir
My attention having been called to va.
rious discussions which have appeared in
the public prints relating to BLACK bal-
lots" 90 called, desire to say for my
self that under the circumstances no
matter what doubts may exist in regard
to the legal election of Gov. Waller, I do
not entertain, and have not for one mo.
ment entertained an idea that it would
be possible for me to hold the office of
Governor, no matter what the General
Assembly may do or declare, and any
act. they may take must be with the
knC- 1ge that in no event will I serve
or tax position, which believe it was
the In .of the electors to give 10 an
other. WIN. II. BULKELEY.
The l. OF which the black ballots are
declared violation was originated by
Democratic who claimed that it would
protect laboring men against coercion by
employers. The lawyers here generally
think the black ballota technically illc.
gal. The Democrats claim that the Re.
publican ballots which had q narrow
border round the names were also illegal.
These we're, however, submitted to high
legal and judicial authority before the
election and declared legal. Gen. Bulk
elcy's letter will probably prevent any
controversy in the Legislature over the
matter.
