| The EAGLE POINT LANDING County Sur.
veyor Thomas Z. Cathcart has fled with the
County Commissioners his minority report on
the Eagle Point landing and public road in the
| first district.
| After giving it as his opinion that the public
convenience does not require the said landing
and road he says that the majority Of the petit
TONERS, to reach this landing would have to
cross two good broad-gauge railroads, in haul
ing freight. The decreased cost of water trans
portation, he thinks, would be more than made
up by the difference in distance. He says the
public landing at Otter Point is much nearer 10
many Of the petitioners than the proposed land.
ing He adds
~ am OF the opinion that the main object or
demand for said road and landing is to get ac-
cess to said creek and river, at said point, for
the purpose of fishing and ducking or other
pleasure, for which purpose / do not think the
expense justifiable, and doubt the practical
biity of using said point for commercial pur-
poses. As persons DESTROYS Of fishing or sail
ing can, at a very moderate cost, securc boat
and boatman at Eagle Point and other places on
Bush river, | think IN that way the expense of
their pleasure would be placed where 1t proper
ly belongs Ii access to the pnblic waters is
necessary for sanitary purposes | would sug
gest the selection Of some mole attractive and
accessible place than Eagle Point. AS regards
the damage, agree with the other examiners,
unless public landing would entirely destroy
the rental value of said point. which We can
not, of course, fully determine"
The majority report Of the examiners, which
was signed by Messrs. william Webster aud
John Clark, recommended That the road be
opened and the landing established.

Federal Interference With State Elec
ftnug

There is u wel-grounded fear that In he
licans will attempt to force the passage OF a
bill putting all congressional elections under
the control of the party in power at Wash
ingtop. Indeed, il is stated that such bill
is already prepared and will be offered A
synopsis of it appears in the Philadelphia
Ledger, and if passed it would go great way
towards destroying the freedom of elections
lift did not lead directly 10 more serious re-
suits.
The bill provides that all congressional
elections and all Presidential and State cleo
tons which occur at the same time with
Presidential elections, shall be held under
federal control and supervision. The Presi-
dent is to appoint an electoral board in each
congressional district, the members to serve
for life. This board is 10 appoint register
for each election division who shall serve for
six years, and returning board of three
persons for each county The judges Of
election are not 10 be all of one party, but
the bin -mgeniously provides that if they are
1t shall not invalidate the election. II may
safely be assumed that if the bill passes the
election judges will all belong to the domi,
nant party.
The bill is one of the most dangerous that
could be imagined, and every true patriot
Republican as well as Democrat, should raise
his voice against it, If it should succeed it
would enable an INSCRIPTIONS minority,
once in power, to remain there, until for
bearance ceasing TO be virtue, the people
would resort to the bullet instead of the bal
lot, and in the end our great Republic would
be rent into pieces
The scheme is not too bold for the now
desperate Republican party in Congress to
attempt, and although the election is over
Democrats should not relax their vigilance
but strengthen the hands of their representa-
tives in Congress in their battle for the
rights of the people.

Emigration and tho Negro Question.

An old plan to solve the race question in the
South, namely, by promoting emigration to
the West Indies, to Mexico or TO Africa, is re-
viyed simultaneously by persons who approach
the problem from many points of view. The
Mexican government is reported to have the
subject under consideration a colored man
from the South is lecturing in some of the
Northern cities In favor of this scheme, and adj.
vocates Of 1t are presenting it in books and
periodical literature. Prof Henry A. Scomp,
of Emory College, Georgia, who looks at the
subject from the Southern point of view and
with sympathy for the colUred race, has pre-
pared an article 'or the December number of
The Forum. In which he undertakes to show
thatIasssted emigration is the only solution OF
the Negro problem, and affords the only means
of escape from dangers hat constantly become

Highway Improvement.

We have received copy of an address on
this topic, by Col. Albert A. Pope, of Boston
before the Carriage Builders National Asso.
citation at Syracuse, N. Y, in October last.
He argues with considerable force that carri-
age builders and carriage dealers are directly
interested in the permanent improvement OF
our highways, since good roads would in
crease the demand for fine vehicles. Col
Pope says truly:
Fifty years ago there was some excuse for
bad roads, for our country WAS poor. Now
it is rich, there is no excuse. A good road
is always to be desired, and II is a source OF
comfort and convenience to every traveller.
Good roads attract population, as well as
good schools and churches. Good roads I'M
prove the value of property, so that 1t is said
farm lying five miles from market connect
I'd by bad road is of less value than al
equally good farm lying ten miles away from
market, connected by a good road. A larg-
er load can be drawn by one horse over a
good road than by two over bad one. Good
roads encourage the greater exchange ofpro-
ducts and commodities between one section
and another. Good roads are of great value
to railroads as feeders.
IL must bt CIChi W my ulhi W Itu 'iC Hhoo'
ordinary business instincts that good roads
mean thrift, hberality and wealth. They
mean good farms and good value to real es-
tate. They mean that the farmer enjoying
their use will save time going over them,
will save wear and tear, not only on his
wagons but on his teams, will be richer
man on account of them"
Col. Pope advocates the establishment by
Congress of a national system of road.meud-
ing, but here we differ with him. Each
county should mend its own roads with as
little interference as possible by the general
or State government. What we need in
Hartford is intelligent and experienced super
vision of recommending and the use of road
machinery, such as scrapers, stone crushers,
&c. In some localities ordinary dirt roads
can be made 10 serve the purposes of local
travel, but on all the much-used thorough
fares it is evident that something more dur
able than mother earth is necessary.

Iowa became II State in 1888, and her
first Governor was u Democrat. From that
date until 1854 all her Governors were Dem

Iowa has always chosen Republicans. The
election of Democratic Governor in that
