Old Men In Politics.

"Cassius M. Clay, Of Kentucky"
remarks the Times Democrat, "al-
though seventy-seven years old, is
going back into politics" Age does
MT seem to count with men who have
once tasted the fascinations of public
and political life. Look at the ven-
cradle Lubbock, for example. We
don't know how old he is, but he has
been long in the land. He turns up
smiling and confident, when state
convention is held, with the cheerful
remark: "Here am again; you know
what / want" and he gets it. He is
very old, is Mr.. Lubbock. And there
is Prof. Roberts, LID, Of the Uni
versity of Texas, ex-judge, ex-gover-
nor, etc. Alex Sweet used to say
that Gov. Roberts was extemporane-
GUS with Moses, but Sweet was given
to frescoed statements. Prof. Rob-
erts is very, very ancient, though.
Yet there is talk of bringing him for
ward to succeed Senator Maxey. We
uOuOt Al buo AnONttnCut Will Cfct
amount to more than talk, chiefly by
the Waco Examiner, but il shows the
tendency. The old men hold on, as
witness Simon Cameron. Hannibal
Hamlin and others we might add TO
those already mentioned. And in all
frankness. II must be said. that the
old fellows bold their own admirably
with the younger ones. Some OF Mr..
Tilden's most statesmanlike utter
ances-his letters on the barbor de-
fense question-were given 10 the
country but a short time before bis
demise. Mr.. Gladstone has lived his
three score years and ten. and more
than a decade beside. He doesn't
show any signs Of deterioration or a
desire 10 abandon pubic life. The
rule holds good all over the civilized
world that old men in public life are
remarkably influential and pertina-
cious Cassius Cay may take fresh
artsBd astonish his countrymen yet

II. and %. Express in the south.

Mr.. VIM. II. Trego, the general manager
of the Baltimore and Ohio Express Com
pany, who was at the Central Building in
Baltimore on Saturday, left yesterday for
New York. lie said "Thcre are prema.
ture reports floating around to the effect
that the Baltimore and Ohio is making ar
rangemehts for establishing its express on
one Of the Southern railway lines to New
Orleans and beyond. Negotiations are In
progress in the West for such an extension
into the South, but they have not reached
a stage where the matter can be definitely
announced. The Baltimore and Ohio Is
doiug satisfactory business IN New York,
and It's Philadelphia traffic IS large beyond
expectations.n 1t is said that this South
ern express connection will be made in the
next few days, but the route by which 1t
will 90 can only be matter of conjecture
now. The statement that It will be made
in the West would seem to indicate that
the Illinois Central or some other road out
of Chicago Is preparing to put the Balti-

sixteenth street Extended.

Attorney Riddle has rendered an opinion
TO the effect that Meridian avenue or Six
teenth street extended is a mere paper
street. The opinion was called out by a
quts stion that has been raised before the
the proper extension from Boundary and
Sixteenth streets into the county. The ques-
ton was raised In 1873. After the receipt of
this opinion one of the property owners,
Mr.. W. A. Bolkcon, took issue with the
views of MIR. Riddle. A more exhaustive
research and a more careful examination of
the records Of the Board of Public Works
and of the authority of said board to disre-
gard the subdivision Of Meridian Hill and
the opening Of Sixteenth street extended,
contrary to the plated subdivision, will be
mnlc.
