THE New York World, in a spirit Of
pure, unadulterated kindness, on Sunday
last went to the aid of Ex-Secretary James
q. Blaine, and very pertinently asks if
that pseudo historian is not as worthy OF
Washington's chair as Grant, Hayes, Gar
field or Arthur. The World Indignantly
asks: "Does the Ercaing Post remember a
person called Rutherford b. Hayes? Does
IL recall the fact that this hypocritical
fraud sat in Washington's chair by theft,
and that the Erening Post and all the tribe
of canting Republican reformers winked
at the crime and supported and profited
by the Hayes administration Does the
Evening Post remember the Credit Mobilier
scandal and the fact that Jas. A. Garfield,
one of the members who accepted the IA
vors Of Cakes Ames, sough to escape by false
testimony? Does our contemporary forget
that it afterwsrd supported James A,
Garfield as the Republican Presidential
candidate and helped to enable him &c
sit in Washington's chair% Does the
Erening Post forget that only between
three and four years ago it supported
Chester A. Arthur, the head OF the noto-
rious New York Republican machine and
the chum of Dorsey, Johnny 0'Brien,
Mike Dady, Barney Biglin and the rest,
for Vice-President, and thus made II pos,
sible for that jovial champion OF soap,

Thus it will be seen that our proposed
rates on the above articles are slightly
higher than those of the Georgia Commits
sion; it will also be seen that they are
much lower than the rates now enforced
on the foregoing named roads in this State.
The "American's'' Comments Answered.
Now, as to the comments in the said
editorial, on our proposed rates on wagons,
agricultural implements and furniture.
Our attention was especially called by
farmers and dealers to what they thought
the too high rates of charges now existing
on wagons and agricultural Implements,
plows, harrows, rakes, scrapes, corn
planters, cotton-planters, cultivators, etc,
and in preparing our basis of rates we
made OF them special classification, in
Guiding all other kinds of vehicles-bug-
gies, carts, carriages, etc, and also fur
niture in the same classification. And
while our proposed rates are lower than
the Georgia rates on these articles, we
are not aware that this is any crime. We
are now informed, and have always so un-
derstood, that the rule or custom in ship
ping the aforesaid articles is that the
farmer or purchaser, and not the manu-
facturer or shipper, pays the freights. So
that reduced rate of transportation on
the same would inure to the benefit of the
farmer or purchaser, whoever he may be,
rather than the shipper or seller. 1t is
obvious to any intelligent mind that the
lower the rates of transportation, the bet
ter for those who need and use the articles
transported. From the foregoing it will
be seen how unjust the imputation that
we made a special classification of wagons,
agricultural implements and furniture, and
suggested a rate thereon lower than
the Georgia rates for the benefit OF
manufacturers as against farmers or con-
sumers. 1t will be observed that the
aforesaid publication charges that we have
placed wagons and furniture in the same
classification, and adds, that it is "a thing
unknown in railroad circles heretofore
This may be unknown in the railroad cir
Gle in which the author of said editorial
moves, but by reference to the eighth
annual report of the Missouri Commission,
1882, page 137, there will be found spe-
cial classification of agricultural imple-
ments, furniture and wagons" all together,
and that the rate established on same by
that commission per carload for fifty miles
is Sl7, while that suggested by US for same
distance per carload is Sl9 Missouri rate
for 100 miles being $23, our proposed rates
S26, Missouri for $50 miles, S29; ours sug
gested for same distance, $50. Yet we are
criticised for placing these articles in the
same classification and for suggesting a
rate thereon lower than the rate fixed by
the Georgia Commission. And although
we suggest rates lower than the Georgia
rates, yet they are higher than those oi
the Missouri Commission. Below is com
parative table of the rates of the Georgia
Commission on carload of wagons:

Mr.. WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS went to
the aid of Mr.. James G.. Blaine in the
columns OF the New York Erening Post
and tried to defend that unfortunate dem
agogue's very damaged reputation. He
tried to clear up the Fort Smith railroad
bond case, but he merely fell into trap
and supplied the Post with additional rea
sons for the position it has taken that nj
such jack-in-the-box politician as Gar
fields Secretary of State should be per
mitted to sit in Washington's chair. Mr.
Phelps proved, instead OF refuting, tn,
charges of the Post, and strengthened
and confirmed its position, not only
as to the bond business, but the
Mulligan letters affair, which, OF itself
was enough to seal Blaines doom forever
Considering the hight which he hal
reached, Blaine is the greatest charlatar
the turbid sea of American politics ha!
ever thrown up.

PERSONALS.

Miss EVA MERRITT and Mr.. Reid will be
married this evening at Calvary church:
MEssRs. w. CoLDERwooD and Z. w.
Lindsay, of Thompsonville, Conn, Wis.,
tied the Merchants Exchange yesterday.
THE New Orleans Times Democrat, noting
she arrival of the relief steamboat Matte
Belle at that point with Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the American Red Cross
Society, and her corps of assistants on
board, says: "When it is realized that
from st. Louis tc this point that same boat
has been carrying comfort and relief to the
needy, life and vitality to the perishing
animals and sweet charity to all, then the
dimensions of the steamer increase and
the good name becomes a symbol of all
that is best in man. Laden with the fruits
of woman's work in securing what was
required for relief, directed by woman,
and the relief distributed by them, her
mission is angelic"
NASHVILLE World, of yesterday: Mrs.
u. l.. Saxon began her work at Athens,
Tenn, last Thursday when the Grand
Division of Tennessee Sons of Temperance
met at that place. She is the State organ
izer of Tennessee. She was born at Green
vile, East Tennessee, 1892, and now re-
sides alternately at Memphis and New
Orleans. Her father, Andrew Lyle, was
prisoner in Memphis in 1868. She sue
ceeded in getting him released, but he
died in a few days. Her early life was sad
and lonely, having lost her mother at a
tender age. She braved the epidemics
that scourge our Southern cities and lost
some of her children in them. She is a
woman of genius and thought, forgetting
self in her devotion to the cause she has
espoused. In politics she is a recognized
power, and some of the greatest and most
learned men of the nation are her personal
friends. She will be present at the meet
ing of the State Prohibition Convention
next month"
THE Fort Scott Monitor, OF the 26th, in
report of the camp fire held there the
day before, says that the speech of Barney
Hughes, of this city, was the great success
of the occasion. The Monitor says: "Not
an old soldier who listened to the utter
ances of Maj. Hughes will doubt his sin
cerity. His reference to the difficulty of
the Confederate government in selecting a
banner, and as result of their endeavor
in not finding anything that would supply
the place of the colors red, white and blue,
were forced to adopt them, illustrated that
even to the Confederate soldier flag of
any other color would haye been but a
thing, and under any other banner there
could have been no enthusiasm, a fact in
itself which was proof of the instability of
the Confederacy, and its aimless and hence
brief career. From beginning to end his
speech, which look up about three-quar-
tiers of an hour, abounded in happy hits
and sparkling wit, illustrating the ludi-
crous side OF war, epigrammatic sentences
which sunk deep into the hearts Of his au-
dience and pathetic appeals in behalf of a
restored Union, which thrilled his audi
ence with the kindliest influence and fra
ternal feeling. Altogether Mr.. Hughes's
effort was one of the happiest and most
appropriate efforts which the reporter
ever heard upon any similar occasion, and

lut contempt and hard usage. "

JOAQUIN MILLER writes from Washing
ton to the Boston Globe, that since the
Cincinnati riots he has heard great deal
of talk about a "strong government.
"1'he expression and the desire" he says,
.'was born with and is nourished by the
VanderEilts, Goulds and monocrats, who
are slowly Dnt surely getting their grip on
the throat of the republic. They want
their wealth protected, and are not willing
to trust it to the people for protection.
Here lies peril A stronger government
means a government not OF the people, by
the people and for the people. 1t means
another kind of government; it means
treason to this government. The talk IN
favor of a stronger government is Alto
gether too frequent here at the nation {
capital. But the advocates of another, a
reasonable government, are not only
numerous, but rich, powerful and quite
shameless in THEN zeal for change. Citi.
zens, stand by your guns against this,
Better that all Europe should assail the
Union from without than that such no
tion should ret foothold within. We,

THE New York Globe, the national or
gan of the negro race, advises the dele
gates to the convention which met at
Pittsburg yesterday to consider the South
ern problem not from the standpoint of
likes or dislIkes, but guided by reason and
selfinterest. "Our future well-doing in
the SOUTH" it says, depends entirely
upon the cultivation of good understand
ing with the progressive white men Of
that section. No amount OF fidelity to
the Republican party will benefit us in the
South, simply because the Republican
party has no influence in the South. A
party can only extend protection or be-
stow benefits where it is more powerful
than its opponents. The race in the South
has been left to work out its own salvation
at the Sallot-box, in the courts of law and
in the mater OF school facilities; while
the few Federal offices of value have beer
bestowed upon carpetoag reprobates and
upon men of the Longstreet stripe. Since
1876 the devotion of the race to the Re
publican party has not netted us anything
but contempt and hard usage"

SOME CURIOUS FACTS.
Here are some novel if not startling facts for
the contemplation of the citizens of Tennessee
Democracy in particular. The Railroad Commits
sion of the State is enjoined by the railroads OF
the State from Interference with their business,
and this injunction is sustained by three of the
elarlng the said Railroad Commission to be a vio-
latlon of the constitution. But the Republican
lessee of the convict labor of the State peniten-
tiary, through his attorney, seeks to enjoin the

that the Democratic party of Tennessee in con
vention assembled declared in its platform oi
principles that the safety and protection of the

railroads and prevent unjust scrimination.

therefore, having proposed to enjoin Democratic
cord and harmony with the political principles
referred to upon the subject of the regulation and
control of railroads. il is curious to scrutinze the
tariff schedule made by the RairoadC Com mission
and which was just about to go into effect when
the railroads enjoined them from further inter
ference with their business. We have taken the
| pans to make some examination of this peculiar
schedule, and it is but right that the public,
of that II nyestigatiOn, inasmuch as the aforesaid
commission schedule, in consequence of the in
junction, has not been given to the public.

ticles Affecting the farmer, and some affecting the
Republican lessee of the penitentia showing

THE reform of our jury system is one Of
the great questions of the day and in all
our large cities is urgent. Many sugges-
tions have been made, among others that
it be abolished altogether. But, better
than 50 radical and sweeping measure,
the AmericIn Israelite suggests the adoption
of the criminal code of the Hebrews,
according to which the court consisted of
twenty three persons, called a Lesser
Sanhedrin," and included the learned or
authorized judges (NItsusdchim), the jury
(Hedyotin) and the advocates, as each OF
them could debate the question with his
colleagues, although outside pleaders for
the culprit were not excluded. After the
debate on the testimony was closed the
court voted. Twelve out OF the twenty
three voting mot guilty" sufficed to clear
the culprit; but in order to condemn him
it was required that at least thirteen out
of the twenty-three declared him guilty.
