The Logic of The Thing.

"The power to supervise corporations
can be maintained on the ground that
the same sovereignty which gives rail-
road companies the right of eminent do
main-the right to drive man from his
home and deprive him of what at com
mon law is his castle, and to use it for
public purposes, carries with it the right
to regulate and control these corpora
tons in the use of this property"
In support of this doctrine, Judge
Cooley. eminent authority, said:
~ do not understand that the right Of
eminent domain can be exercised on be
| half of private parties, or corporations
unless the State permitting it reserves
to itself right to supervise and contro
the use by such regulation as will ensure
to the public the benefit promised there

Ii is proper to say that the
letter published in our last paper
on the election of Judges is from
the pen. Of one of the soundest
lawyers in Mississippi, He has no
grudges to satisfy. He has not been an
applicant for appointment, nor any par
Hcular friend of his that we know of.
Nor has he been an aspirant for politi-
cal office. But he has rendered efficient
service for the Democratic party, and
loves its principles, and strives to main.
tain them for their own sake 1t would
be well to heed his words Of wisdom
and patriotism. Referring to the letter
OF our correspondent, the Vicksburc

The Vicksburg Herald is moved with
compassion for the Governor. 1t says
that he will be terribly troubled by the
opportunities Of applicants for appoint
mcnt Of Railroad Commissioners, if a
law should be passed enforcing the Dem
ocratic doctrine of supervision. Its the
strongest argument, we have heard on
that side; but the obstacle, great as it
is, is not necessarily insurmountable.
1t can be provided that the People shall
elect as they do in some of the States
or if that docs not suit, the Legislature
might perform that delicate trust.

A sHREwD contemporary says there
is no doubt that bad men are frequently
elected to Office, but there is great doubt
whether it is an improvement to lodge
the power Of appointing officials in the
hands of few persons. The country
might be better served to-day if the
Postmasters and the Federal Judges were
elected. Some of the most serious evil;
of the time result from the subserviency
of appointed officials to influences mimi
