The Democratic leaders in Congress are
preparing themselves for the coming session
with the avowed intention of being as wise
Ms serpents and as harmless as doves. One
of them-name not given-cOmmunicates
this determination to the public through
the medium Of an interview printed in the
columns of the Star, which journal, by the
way, under the inspiration of new blood
recently infused into its veins, is rapidly
becoming q Liberal" Democratic organ.
But, we add, these Bourbons are always
promising to be wise and discreet and never
fulfilling their promises. Aud it is Il nota-
BILE fact that when they make their most
earnest endeavor to behave themselves they
always misbehave the worst. These facts
induce the belief that the coming session
of Congress will undoubtedly be character
lied by repetition of the seditious efforts
which occupied the time of the late extra
session.

Many of our readers will be inter- ested in the following decision regard ing the liability of special-tax of the successor in business of a firm which dissolves before the expiration of its special tax stamp. Commissioner Raum, under date of Washington, March i, 1879, has issued the following circular:

 The ruling of this Office requiring special tax to be paid by the successor in business of a firm which dissolves before the expiration of the term for which such firm has paid the special tax is hereby modified to this extent:

 That where the person or persons succeeding to and carrying on the bus mess for which the dissolved firm has paid special tax belonged to such firm, further special tax should not be eX- acted of such successor for carrying on the same business, at the same place, for the remainder of the period for which the stamp was issued to the old firm.

 But where a person, member of a firm, carries on the business after the firms dissolution, and associates with him a person who was not a member of the old firm, the new firm so con- stituted should be required to pay spe- cial tax, and take out new special-tax stamp. even though the name of such new firm be the same as that ot the old

Speaking of the reasons which will influence Jay Gould to secure an inde- pendent overland railroad route to the Pacific, since he has got control of the Kansas Pacific as well as Union Paci- fic, the St. Louis Republican of a late date says:

 More than that, he is almost com pelled to have a branch of his line to Kansas City, because of the fact that It is now known the AtchisOn, Topeka x Santa Fe and the Southern Paclhc have made an agreement and signed contracts guaranteeing the meeting oi those roads within eighteen months

 If the Republican is correct in this particular, Tucson will very soon be upon completed overland line, and she and the remainder of Arizona can with about equal facility do business on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; but there is, in our mind a reasonable doubt of the truth of the report. There is much rivalry between St. Louis and Chicago. and when the papers of either city are discussing subjects of competition, they sometimes let their enthusiasm if not their jealousy have free play.

MR. KEYS WAR ON THE LO1TER1ES.-
The Postmaster General has assumed q
very remarkable power in throwing from
the mails letters addressed to men who
are connected with lotteries. Leaving
out of view the morality of lotteries,
question arises as 20 how and why de-
partmcnt of the Federal government can
declare that lotteries are violatiVe OF
Federal policy when there is no power in
the Federal government to prevent
State from chartering them. It is i'm
possible to limit the obstruction to mail
correspondence when it is once admitted
that the Federal government may decide
for itself what is moral and what is I'M
moral. 1t would seem under our system
of ofroverun,cnt that whatever State
permits must be regarded as moral by tho
Federal government. Once, a number OF

SMALL FIRE IN THE ARLINGTON COT


TON MILL THIS MORNING.


cry that the Arlington cotton mill
was on Hire, threw BrandywiD village
intO a tumult at an early hour this morn
ing, and the sharp blowing Of the whis-
lie called out the fire engines.


The fire was among the cotton in the
picking room, and the blaze from the
burning cotton gave the Interior of the
mill the appearance of being enveloped
in devouring conflagration. The fore
men and getting the hose into play soon
had the fire fairly under control. BY
this time the Phoenix fire engine had
arrived upon the scene, but through a
Misunderstanding it was sent back again
iuto town. Mr.. Gambrill, hearing of
this, had the whistle blown again. .wh lch
called nearly all the engines out. They
went into service and flooded the room
in which the fire had occurred, with
water, thus making the recurrence OF
the fire an impossibillty.


The tiIe broke out in the picking room
and was caused by the heating of a
bearing. The mill had been running
nearly all night in order 10 make up for
loss of time which would be caused to-
tay by by storpage to have serious
break in the machinery repaired. While
the watchman was busy elsewhere, the
fire caught and blazed up quickly. The
loss is trltiing, and the whole thing, in
cluding damage TO cotton by fire and
water and the burning OF a belt, which
was the onlypart of the appurtenances to
che machinery injured, will not amount
to more than five dollars. Had 1t gained
little more headway nothing could
have saved the mill from serious damage
if not complete destruction.
