Mush For the Republican Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-In
speaking of the appointments Of
presidential postmasters to-day,
Postmaster General Villas said in
addition to the removals for Often
sive partisanship, there was as
many more cases in which, after
consideration, it had been decided
not to remove the postmasters. In
those cases, although evidence of
offensive partisanship had been
presented, it was regarded as in
sufficient, the President not being
disposed to seize the opportunity
for removal, but to require the ex-
istence of partisanship to be shown
as an undeniable fact.
As showing the spirit of fairness
and delicacy that had animated the
President in dealing with the pres
idential postmasters, the Post
master general said there were
eighteen such presidential appoint
ments made by President Arthur
in the last days of his term, in
cases where vacancies had &C.
Cured, and which had been con-
frmed by the Senate, but no COM
missions had issued. In all oil
these cases, as Q matter of legal
right, President Cleveland could
have made appointments because
the act of appointment had not
been completed by the issuance q
commissions, but he thought il
only considcratc and fair that he
i.should give the commissions in
completion of the act of appoint.
ment, and it had been done in al
cases but one, and in that case there
had been resignation by the ap
pointce before the commission
issued.-T-D. & Pic Specials.

VIII He Talk?

In a recent correspondence with
Judge Gayarro, Senator Gibson
took high ground as to the duty OF
Senator's and Representatives in
the matter Of Federal appoint
ments. The States has frequently
expressed views similar to those
profcssed by the Senator, only the
Senator expressed them better,
But the Times-DemoCIat has pre-
emptorily challenged the sincerity
of his professions and questions
his right to the high ground he has
assumed. The tbs arraign-
iaent of the Senator Oh this CUES
ton, in its Sunday edition, requires
a prompt and unquivocating all
swer. Our contemporaries state
mcnt Of facts is damaging to the
Senator's professions il the OK
tremc. and, unless he can refute it,
and expose the charges it contains
as false and calumnious, he must
be regarded, not as the retormor
and statesman he represents him
self to be, but rs senatorial office
broker of the smallest sort, and a
tricky politician who has sought to
wrong and discredit his colleague,
equally with himself, entrusted
with the concerns and interests Of
Louisiana. This, however is, just
now, an issue between our contem,
porary and Senator Gibson, anC
the people Of the State will rcndel
judgment when they have hearC
from the Senator.-N. 0. States.

Not a Subject for PITY.

People who commit suicide, or attempt
to do so, because they have met with disap-
pointment in their love affairs can hardly
be very well balanced mentally. tits prob
able that il they should succeed ia secur-
ing the object Of their affections they
wouldnot be happy. They do not know
how to control themselves SO as to retain
happiness when they have it. They permit
things Of little Importance TO have too
great an influence on their lives, and are,
therefore, always doing something thatis
productive Of trouble.
The dispatches q lay or two & stated
that a son of Gen. o. o. Howard, = youth
OF about 10 years Of age, had attempted
to commit suicide in the Yellowstone park
where he has been spending the summer.
1t seems that sometime during August he
met Miss Chase, a pretty, blue-eyed, gol-
den haired Omaha girl in the park, and
at once conceived q strong attachment
for her. She was with r party of tourists
and, perhaps, enjoyed the society OF the
youth. She did not love him, however,
and was forced to tell him that
his affection was not refrigerated, What
then did this son of a soldier do? Did he
act like a brave and sensible fellow? Not
at all. He undertook to blow his brains
out. II he wished to make the lady feel
badly he was, doubtless, disappointed a
second time. she would be rather in
clined to rejoice at having escaped uniting
herself to one 50 little calculated to bear
the trials and troubles with
which every ones life is burdened.
II his disappointment was greater than
he could bear there oughtnot to be a very
great deal sympathy for him, because it
is probable that is better tor him and all
connected with him that his career should
end early. The man who thinks there is
nothing in life worth living for because
he has met with a setback in his love-
making is hardly capable Of fighting Hfe's
battles successfully.

The Unbuilt Railroads of Georgia.
An examination Of our statutes shows
that there is almost a condition OF stagna-
tion in The construction Of railroads in
this State. There are now incorporated
railroads with live charters a~ggregating
], 100 miles, the estimated cost Of building
of which is $685. 600, 900. The proposed
roads pass through 81 counties, 80
of which are entirely without rail-
roads. 1t is claimed that nearly
all, If not all, Of the chartered
railroads are necessary to the develop
ment OF the State, and would now be
either completed or in process Of con-
struction, were 1t not that capitalists are
unwilling TO put money into railroad en-
terprises in Georgia because of the extra
ordinary powers exercised by the Rail
road Commission. Before the people Of
the territory tributary 10 these proposed
lines may reasonably expect that they
VIII re built some, assurance will have to
be given that those who " them will
have the management of them.
The members OF the Legislature should
give such facts MS these their
careful attention. They ought not TO be
Influenced by those who do not care
whether the railroads of Georgia are
bankrupted and pass into alien hands or
not. 90 long as they think their own inter-
ests are promoted. There is no use in de-
stroying great interests, upon which
many others depend, without some
extraordinary reason exists for doing
so. There certainly Is no good
reason for destroying the railroad
interests Of Georgia; and yet that is just
what the Railroad Commission is doing,
as SHOWN by reports ofrailrOad managers.
The management Of our railroads is taken
out Of the hands OF those VINO own them,
and who have trained officials to manage
them, and placed in the hands Of three I'M
trained men. How can the roads prosper
under such circumstancesl A mistake
was made, not in creating the commits
sion, but in giving it such extraordinary
powers. Now is the time to remedy that
mistake. The pending bill, to amend the
railroad commission law, places the man
agement Of the railroads where it belongs
but it at the same time affords the people
ample remedy for all the wrongs they are
likely to suffer.

The impression, # any exists, that there
is or was opposition to the bill granting a
charter Tor the building Of a railroad to
Tybee island, IS, Ms far as We know, with
out foundation. The rybee rail-
road bill, as il was when originally intro
duced into the Legislature, provided for
certain powers and privileges which were
thought unreasonable and unneces-
sary, and an effort was made to have
the bill corrected in those
particulars. Upon the objections being
made known, the friends of the measure
conceded them and readily consented,
without question or contest, to the pro-
posed amendments. As amended, there
is no reason why the bin should not be-
come a law, and the MORNING NEWS
trusts that the day is not far distant when
a railroad from savannah to Tybee will
be an accomplished fact.
