ROAD OUGHT TO BE FrxED.-Now that the Government has given the people liv- ing along the mail route between here and Mineral Park, Fort Mohave, etc, good lib- eral mail servlce, it is no more than right that the roads should be kept in passable condition. The road over Juniper Noun tain is represented to be in deplorsble fix, not safe for either man or beast to travel over. The Supervisor in charge of this road should see to it at once and the Board of county Supervisors should organize means in some way to enable him to put the road n such order Us that the mail can pass over it without danger tc team and driver or to passengers. Oak Hill is even worse than Ju- niper Mt. and requires immediate attention We arc informed that the road over this hill is one bare uneven rock with scrceiy a particle of earth on it, SO rough in places that it is almost impossible for two stout horses to raise light blackboard over the perpendicular benches and notches in the bed rock road.

 In order to keep the mails running regular ly, it is necessary that the roads be kept in order. This duty the people must perform both for their own convenience of travel aud for the benefit of the mall service,

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the follow. ing sleeping car story which We are in. formed actually occurred on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad during the woman's rights campaign n this state few years since. A lady was sleeping in berth on western railroad, with one hand hang ing peacefully out over a loop in the cur tain.

Here the facetious drummer was knocked clear across the cal by a stalwart blow from the disengaged hand of the occupant of the berth. After picking himself up and pulling his nose around to the proper place, he offered to bel a weeks salary that the fellow in the berth was a prlze fighter. This excited some curiosity on that point and the berth wa' closely watched. Susan B. Anthony turned out of it in the morning.

The Arlington ejectment suit, as was
anticipated from the decision Of Judge
Hughes upon the respective prayers Of
plaintiff and defendant, has ended in a
complete verdict for Gen. Lee upon all
the points at issue. The entire property
is restored to its rightful owner, who is
declared never to have ceased to have a
title in it, and the verdict calls for the
ejectment of all the tenants who have
been in possession since the sale of the
estate, in 1868. These include the United
States, which has national cemetery,
and two other holders, who bought at
this illicit sale. They are probably
liable also for rents from the day of sale.
The case goes up to the Supreme Court
of the United States on appeal, and in
the meantime 1t will be no more than
decorous and proper for Congress to
compromise it by the purchase of the
property, and so perfect the title to one
of the most extensive national cemeteries.
The government will not be expected to
abandon such burial place to Gen.
Lee, and yet the Supreme Court cannot
help but confirm the decision of the
court below. Hence Congress should
buy the properly and be done with the
unpleasant episode. 1t may be stated
that this ejectment suit was not entered
upon until Gen. G. w. p. G. Lee, and
his mother also, had repeatedly, but
always in vain, tried to get Congress to
take action in the matter and compromise
by buying the estate. Senator Johnston


of Virginia, had bill proposing this in


the last Congress and in the first session


of the present Congress. but he could not


procure its consideration. In the House


the various political palterings of the


rival parties has always prevented action


and so Gen. Lee has had no recourse but


to take such action for himself as will


compel Congress either to restore him

WHAT THINKS.


Assemblyman James NJ varntm, who
elected member Of the lower branch of the Lcgis-
lature at the recent election. spoke strongly against
the proposition to alter the law. IL do not that
it is at all necessary any such action be taken.
The republicans have the election and
pretty certain of winning next year. What good
would it be. then. to change the law? Do think IL
will be done? Well, that Is hard question to
answer. II those people in Maine persist in their
declared intention to cheat the republican party out
of their hard earned triumph, why can see no OBJ

taking only legal measures to protect themselves.

power to change or alter in any way the method
now employed in Presidential elections OF choosing
the body of electors: 1t may leg1siate any way
it pleases. ana its action Will be legal. just and

be effected?'


II really can't say. 1 have not looked into the
subject; but what is good for republicans in Maine
is equally good for democrats in New York..


Mr.. Elliot G. Cowdin said that he had given the
subject no special consideration in reference to the
effect 1T would have on the approaching Presidential
election. He had long felt that 1t would be more
thoroughly democratic. In the best sense OF the
term, 10 nave tne fresuentlal ekectOfs CHOSEN

brought up in the coming Legislature.


Assembl yman Charles s. Baker. of Rochester said
he knew nothing of the proposition, except what he
had read in the newspapers. 1t appeared to be .

about it liked; but IL there any question
about the right morality of the scheme the party

Ex-Judge Dittenhoefer said it was 9 matter Of such
great importance that he would prefer giving it
careful consideration before giving any decided
opinion. At present he was personally opposed to
the policy, but had not committed himself either
way.


Colonel Charles s. Spencer; when asked il he had
heard any talk among the republican leaders as to

Presidential electors, said 81 have. and not one

Of the reasons which have controlled legislation

good-from decent confidence in the general
trGthtulnoss of American citizens, not now

mode has continued for seventy years, has
worked very fairly, and has been tainted with
no more fraud and deception than would occur
in any other business involving so many per-
SOIlS ana SuCn an amount OF money.


We come now to the second question, What
are the evils believed to follow from the exist
ing law


If the Commissioner of Pensions is to be be

tainted throughout, and rotten with fraud. If

the Treasury, and which is not supported by
false statements. The iron has entered into his
soul, and he cannot !" bring himself to believe
the testimony offered" OF course, this is not
true, to anything approaching the extent and
breadth of this unwise affirmation, for we hap
pen to know that every day and all days, he
does succeed in g bringing himself to believe
the testimony offered and does in fact issue
and allow pensions which rest upon precisely
that testimony. Very good men have been ex-
travagant in statement sometimes, but they
were generally rebuked in some form for the
extravaganza.


The brave old prophet who exclaimed in an
agony, like the Commissioner i" [ alone am
left, was reminded by the reply he received,
that all virtue, all faith, all religion, had not
concentrated in him.


So this piece of exaggeration may be dis
missed on the ground that it proves altogether
too much, and becomes selfincredible. 1t
might do as a point in stump speech, where
no reply was possible, but it is singularly out
of place in an official and dispassionate argu-
ment


Is it not well to look dispassionately, and ac-
cordfng to the best evidence, and see if we can
approximate the real facts in the case?


The best evidence obtainable is in the official
report of the Commissioner of Pensions.


He reports that on the Both of June, 1878,
there were 120,837 unsettled claims


To this we will add about $4,000 claims dis

 We have neither time nor inclination to go on and describe each and every character who took part in the play of "A Scrap of Paper" suffice to say that the play was g success, and to make it such, requires the very best of acting.

The New York Herazd publishes the following among it's Washington dis patches. A bill has been drawn and will be introduced at the very first op- portunity after Congress assemblies restoring General U. s. Grant to the position he resigned when he became President in 1869. Whether the title will be Captain General or some other distinctive military title is to be deter mined before the meeting of Congress. The Southern members who have been thus far consulted are, without excep- tion, in favor Of the measure. As fast as they arrive in Washington they are visi- ted and their approval of the bill solici- ted. Not one has yet refused to agree to suspension of the rules that the bill may be put upon its passage on the day it is introduced. Besides the support of the Southern democratic members of the House it also must have the sanction of the Speaker, who, in this case, it is said, will depart from the rule made by himself of requiring members to give notice of their intention to ask for sus pension of the rules.
