a RAILWAY REGIMENT.
Description Of the Railway Corps of the
German Empire.

]
German Empire.
The Railway Corps of the German
Empire consists of a Prussian regiment
and Bavarian company, the latter be-
ing precisely like Prussian company
in every respect. The Prussian Rail
way Regiment (das Eisenbahn Regi-
menD is organized in regimental staff
and two battaEons of tour companies
each. A company in peace time con-
sists of four officers. eighteen non-com-
misSioned officers and one hundred
privates. The regiment is for excellent
reasons. for all purposes of training.
placed Immediately under the general
staff. 1t is only by being constantly in
immediate contact with the best and
most selected officers of the German
Army that the officers of the Railway
Corps can be expected TO know and
learn what is required of them. They
are thus able to know the slightest
alteration taking place in German and
foreign railway matters, as well as
every change or innovation in foreign
armies. They have, moreover, imme-
date access TO men in high authority.
and can thus at once make known their
ideas in quarters where they can take
effect without delay. The mdterieI
given to the Prussian Railway Regiment
is very considerable. and is a striking
contrast TO the parsimony in the use
and expenditure of stores generally
practiced in the German service. thus
showing the great Importance at
tached 10 the efficient training
of this new branch of the army. The
regiment, in fact, actually possesses
and works by itself a line from Berlin
to the artillery practice ground near
Lutterbach, some thirty English miles
long. 1t has been given in addition
a large practice ground, with every
facility for training recruits. Here the
latter are taught laying sleepers, rails
and telegraph wires, destroying and
repairing lines and engines, in fact,
every kind of railroad work, and
bridges have been built to train men
in the repair of broken arches, &c,
destroyed railroad works of every
kind. The regiment has an ample
supply of rolling stock of engines.
passenger carriages, goods vans,
trucks, &c There is thus every facil-
itv for training men to act as por-
tiers or unskilled workmen in the load
irg and unloading of warlike and
other stores. and teaching non-com-
missioned officers and artificers engine
driving. the care and repair of engines.
the duties of firemen, pointsmen,
shutters, &C., and finally the duties of
railway guards for the management of
trains and regulation of traffic. The
strength of the Railway Regiment.
large as it is in peace, would be enor-
mously increased were it modified fol
war. Before the second battalion was
raised Paris and Helldorf put the
strength of the German Railway
Corps, when modified for war, at
eight companies of artificers, four
traffic companies. and two companies
of unskilled workmen. Bau-Betriebs
und Arbeiter-Compagnien.) This has,
of course, been very much added to by
the creation of the second battalion in
1875, and we should not be much out
if we reckoned on these numbers as
now doubled, certainly as regards the
traffic companies.-Army and Navy

The Medicine Lodge (han.) Inaer
says: 1.-The latest wrinkle on proving
up claims so that one person can
get two claims is reported from the
northern part of this county. A per-
son who had lately proved up on his
claim took fancy to one adjoining
his, and on this he put building and
established his wife, announcing that
he had separated from her, and that
he had secured a divorce. A married
woman can not prove up claim, but
a divorced or single woman can. 1t is
probable that this avaricious couple
will really 90 through the formality of
a divorce to secure claim, and then
remarry after the final proof has been
made"

1t may be we'll in this oit-y"ar Of poll

survey Of our political situation, and
get our bearings. This County has en-
joyed and does enjoy throughout the
State the honor Of having q population
second to none in integrity, Intelligence
and character In the councils of the

men. Her voice has been heard and
her influence felt through the mrdium
Of those who commanded the respect and
attention Of the public. That We have
lost somewhat Of the prestige that we
have enjoyed will not be denied; and
of course the loss Of this must be within
ourselves. We have degcncratcd in our
political principles and methods. Poll
tics with us have become entirely per
sonal. Fractional spirit has assumed IL
size and Importance unknown to the
former political history OF the County.
Men are elected or defeated for office
now not upon their merits and qualifica-
tons, or their lack Of qualification, but
upon an. issue OLA purely personal nature,
without relation to the welfare Of the
public service. Small men have grown
into power and influence by playing
upon the passion and prejudice Of

dealt in to the dctraction Of political
opponents. Narrow, %unsouna, and per-

sound Of plauSibility about them, have
been madc to do duty for political
principles. We are weary Of and dis
gusted with this low plane OF politics.
1t behoovcs us to rebukc men who have
no higher ambition than their personal
advancement and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
who, to accomplish their selfish ends,
pervert the sentiments and play upon the
credulity Of their constituents. We want
Abbcville to take high rank by reason
of the character, the virtues, the ability
and the craftsmanship of those whom she
honors with high place and powers.
The first step in this direction is to
eradicate from our local politics the
abuses that have crept in-elevatc the
standard Of requirements. Let us get
rid of the personal feature Of our poll
tics that fills every one Of our canvasses
with bitterness and hatred, and give
birth to charges Of fraud and wrong
doing; if, indeed, the actual deeds be
wanting. Elect men to Office because
they are competent to discharge official
duties, and because their character en-
titles them to respect and condolences; and
do tins without reference to which side of

complimented by such a man as Governor
