me Hon. William NJ. Eyarts is not in
favor Of the nomination of Mr.. Arthur for
President. He thinks the Republicans
can select a stronger candidate. Several
eminent New York Republicans have eX-
pressed the same opinion lately. They
are not hostile to Mr.. Arthur. Indeed
they have great respect for him, and
think his administration has been re-
markabIv successful. But their Obser-
vations satisfy them that he cannot
carry New York. OF course, if he cannot
carry his own State when almost every
thing depends on that State, it is folly to
nominate him. The fact that Mr.. Folger
was beaten for Governor by nearly 100000
votes is brought forward as proof of Mr..
Arthur's unpOpularity. 1t cannot be said
that hostility to Mr.. Folger caused
the defeat of the Republicans by such an
overwhelming majority. Mr.. Folger was,
and is yet, a popular man in New York.
He was we'll enough thought of to be
elected Chief Justice of the State only a
short while before he ran for Governor.
1t was hostility to DIR. Arthur that beat
Mr.. FOIger. There are two factions in
the Republican party of New York. Mr..
Arthur has been trying to reconcile them,
but has signally failed. He belongs to
one of them. The one to which he does
not belong helped to defeat Mr.. Folger be-
cause it did not like Mr.. Arthur. That
faction will do what it can to defeat him
again. 1t is possible that by shrewd man.
agement Mr.. Arthur may secure the New
York delegates to the Chicago COnven-
ton. He is pretty certain to get the
greater part of the Southern dele
gates. 1t is not improbable that
he may enter the National Convention
stronger than any other candidate. The
ofEiceholders under his control will GER
tainly look out for his interests. Should
he succeed in getting the nomination he
would pretty certainly be defeated.
Without New York he wouldn't have a
chance for success that would be worth
considering.
The two men who appear to be gradu-
ally growing in the estimation of their
party as available candidates are Sena-
tors Edmunds and sherman. Edmunds
is mentioned first because his chances are
best. He is doing nothing, apparently, to
secu e the nomination, but the negative
position which he assumes may help him
more than an eager and aggressive atti-
tude would. The leading men of the party
who are not in office are beginning to talk
of him seriously. Sherman is clearly
making a fight for the nomination. The
Introduction Of the resolutions asking an
investigation Of the Danville and COpiah
county affairs shows that he is anxious to
bring himself prominently before the
country. The Importance of carrying
Ohio in October will help him. If it were
admitted that Mr.. Arthur could carry
New York there would be little question
about his nomination. The doubt on that
point promises to be more potent than
the control of the Federal machinery.

The soutbern Railroad Pool.

In railroad circles in this State the I'M
preston appears to prevail that the pool
contract between members OF the south-
ern Railway and Steamship Association,
which expires on the 1st Of March, Will
not no renewed. Whether or not it will
he renewed. however, will be determined
doubtless at the meeting of the associa-
tion at Washington on the 18th OF next
month. It is no secret, of course, that
there has been dissatisfaction with the
pool contract for a good while. The Cen
trail Railroad has been the chief complain
ant. and. as is well known, al the OCTOBER
meeting refused TO become party 10 the
contract that was framed for 1884. Inc
roads in the pool are acting under the
contract of 1888. in accordance with an ar
rangement effected by the Executive CON-
miftee of the association. The interprela-
tiop given that contract is, in the opinion
oftba Central management, unfair to the
Central Road. If the pool IS terminated !.
will be probably because the Cehtral
cannot yet fair treatment under the poor
contract. 1t is possible that at the meet
ip,, ON tbe 18th there will satisfactory
concession made, as the pool, by most Of
the roads interested, is regarded as very
advantageous. The Central, however, is
so well equipped and organized, and SO
completely master of the territory trib-
utary to it. that 1t would, perhaps, well
come a war Of rates. rather than longer
submit to the entertainments on its rights
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Ge0r-
gfa Road. Col. Peck, the General Manager
of the South Carolina Railway, in an in
terview in the Charleston NelCS and COlT-
iey. expresses the opinion that,
in the event Of the termination of the pool
arrangement. there viii be no violent re-
duction of rates. because nothing is to be
gained bv a reduction, and because rates
are now 80 per cent. lower than they were
when the pool started. Col. Peck may be
right in this opinion so far as some OF the
roads are concerned. but it is pretty GER
tain that the Central Will not permit the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to
draw business from the CentraPs leglti-
mate territory by cutting under the Cen
trails rates. savannah merchants have
always regarded the pool as hostile to the
interests of this city, and the ending OF 1t
will probably be a source Of satisfaction
to them.

shnrman,s Resolutions.

The Danville and Copiah county troubles
are to be Investigated. TIE sherman res
olutiOns, calling for an investigation,
passed yesterday by party vote. When
they were introduced it was thought they
would be the occasion Of a lengthy and
bitter political discussion. Mr.. Sherman
and Mr.. Malone talked very mildly, how
ever, and the Democrats wisely con-
cluded not to reply TO them. The inyes-
tigatiOn VIII be held and the facts of the
Danville riotwill bespread before the coun-
try again. 1t is not probable that any new
facts will be discovered. The partici-
pants in the riot have told what they
know, and about the entire country has
reached the conclusion that the trouble
was unprecedented. 1t will be sur
prise if Mr.. Malone is able to produce
witnesses to unsettle this conclusion. 1t
may be that Mr.. Sherman was purpOsely
very conservative in his remarks yester-
day, and that he and other Republican
Senators intend to open a heated political
discussion later in the session, when the
investigation is concluded.

He Wants To Go On.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 26.-Editor Morn
ina -Nelos: l am pleased to see, from an
old issue two or three numbers back, that
you were generous enough to give space
In your valuable and widely circulated
paper to an article under the heading of
Free Thinkers Association" held in
New York. The resolution therein set
forth meets my heartiest Endorsement.
l think that it is now time that other
States and other people were opening
their eyes to this subject and put a check
to the mixture of religion and politics,
which has been the groundwork of the
overthrow Of nearly every republic which
has ever existed, and caused more she'd
ding of blood and destruction Of property
than all other subjects put together.
These are subjects upon which man
kind have never agreed, nor never will
agree; unless all believed in natural sci
ence. 1t is not statesmanlike to drag
back a thrifty and intelligent people like
ours to the bygone days Of superstition
and ignorance. There is nothing to pre-
vent us from going onward and upward
to higher perfection than any Republic
has ever reached. So let us 60 on. If
there are no others Of my opinion, then
majority must control. Very respect
fully, T. N. MCCORMICK.

The tyranny of public opinion is con-
spIcuousIv shown in the Emma Bond
case. The jurors discharged their duty,
no doubt, to the best of their ability. They
found the defendants not guilty. There
was strong evidence against the accused
parties, but there was room for doubt,
and the jurors gave them the benefit of
the doubt. The people, however, were
indignant at the verdict. They COM
pletely ostracised the twelve hapless
men. One Of the jurors has become so
nervous over his treatment that he is sub
ject to peculiar crying spells. Another is
so frightened that he runs away when
ever any one approaches him. A third
was engaged to be married to a beautiful
girl who not only refuses to speak to him,
but broke of the engagement. His men,
taI condition is alarming. 1t would not
be surprising if the entire twelve either
left the Country or became idiots or lu-
uafics. There is no way to punish the en-
lire community for cruelty to these ju-
rors.

The subject of the solid South in the
Chicago Convention is one Of extreme So

them are not at all pleased with the basis
of representation in the convention fixed
by the National Republican Committee,
and they are continually discussing ways
and means to deprive the Southern Re
publcans Of their political power in the
convention, which they cannot sustain
with proportional strength in the electoral
college. The last proposition is to adopt
the two-thirds rule. This, while it would
prevent the Southern delegates from

Ex-Gov. Charles Foster, of Ohio, was
appointed last week by Gov. HOadly as
one of the trustees of the State charitable
institutions. All OF the Republicans and
one Democrat voted for his confirmation
in the Senate. The balance of the Demo-
Gratis abstained from voting, and so he
was defeated. 1t is stated that almost
any other prominent Republican in the
State, except Hayes, can be confirmed, as
the Governor is compelled by law or cOur-
tesy to appoint Republican. Fosters
unsavory political record is the cause of
his rejection. 1t is a little more than

Mr.. KeiGer.

Ex-Speaker Keifer is making a specta-
Gle of himself. A day or two ago he
openly charged that Gen. Boynton, the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, was lobbyist.
He has now a chance to prove his charge.
1t is about certain that he will be forced
to admit that it was based on malice.
and unfounded. He will be sorry that he
ever attacked BOyntOn. Several years
ago Gen. Sherman attacked BoyntOn in a
series of letters for something which the
latter published in his correspondence
Gen. Sherman had cause to regret his
hastv action. Keifer has alienated by his
course both his political friends and OppO-
nents. He discharged one of the official
sten0graphers Immediately after the sec
ond session of the Forty-seyenth
Congress, and appointed his
nephew to the lucrative place. That act
is now being investigated. His explana-
ton of it has been fatty contradicted. Be
fore he gets through with the correspond
ents it is probable that what reputation
be has left will be pretty badly damaged.
The Okeechobee Land Company, which
consists of Philadelphia capitalists, de-
MES the truth of the report of the New

to the effect that the lands of the Florida
everglades are irreclaimable. Mr.. James
n. Kramer, the engineer of the company,
reports that the projectors Of the enter
prise have already spent several hundred
thousand dollars, and are rapidly solving
the question of drainage. He says spe-
cal agent of the State has certified that
in the northeastern portion Of the drain
age district alone some 100000 acres have
been permanently reclaimed, and that in
addition to the comPany's share Of this
tract, it is entitled to about 100000 acres
for work previously done. Lake Okeecho-
bee is twenty-eight inches lower than
when first tapped by the canal, and the
work is still being energetically pushed
forward.
