Mahone says that the admioiatra - tion has no intention of di opping him, and that be has no intention o/ dropping the administration. Thus harmony reigns, and both Mahone mid the administration are safe.

The Supreme Court of Indiana receutly decided that reckless and caroless drivers are responsible for any Injuries that may be sustained by any person or persons by reason of such reckless and carelesc driving. Owners of fast horses, or rsoklsss drivers, should bear this disoussion in mind.

Mr. Tilden said in 1876 that “reform was nacessary." 80 the people then thought, but the returning boards of Louisiana and Florida were not reformed, and the matter went on with alight improvement. The necessity for reform continues. But to assure reform a very decided change of ad ministration will be necessary. Rich in promisee, the “grand old party” performs haltingly.

Senator Mahone, the Virginia Re adjuster, recently stated that “wi;h proper financial encouragement from Washington and not too much squeamistiness, Virginia and North Caro lina can be carried next year against the Democratic candidate for President." According to ExCongrossman Dezendorf, a Republican, Senator Mabone’s political methods to carry elections “stink in the nostrils of honest men.”

Stephen W. Dorsey just before his aoquittal, said that if convicted he would publish a certain paper, or rather an agreement, made on behalf of James A- Garfield in behalf of the New York politicians at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, preceding the Presidential canvass of 1880. If this paper ie published, he eaid, it wil] make some prominent politicians, wish they were dead. But Dorsey is acquitted, and the paper in question, therefore, will not be given to the publie.

Beth Mr. Dorsey, “the savior of Indiana, "and his attorney, Beb lager" soil, the eloquent champion es Hayes and Garfield in the presidential earn paign ol 1876 and 1880,will have abund-ant time for recuperation from late long engagement before eaterlng the Ohio canvass this fall in behalf of the continuant of that party government under which star-route thievs ery has flourished, and under which It was unreasonable to suppose considering the party position and influ once of|the thieves, they would ever be punished.

Fkok’s Sun: There is a mean joker in Milwaukee. He went ino the government building the other day witn pieces o ' crape, and was going to work to pin them on the arms of the officials, when one of them asked him what that was for. With a look of wonder,hesaid “ Why, you are going to the funeral, ain’t you? The speoia car leaves at 1:30,” and went ou arr anging the crape. One of the officials asKed him wh o was dead, and as he pinned on the last piece of crape and backed toward the deor with his mouth full of pins, he looked solemn and said, “poor Eliza Pinkston i’ a gone.” They tried to kill him.

Jobs Sherman oould not be induced to accept the nomination for Governor and lead the forlorn hope of his party in Ohio. John pretended that duty to Ohio and to the country demanded that he should hold on to his seat in the Senate, but it has been surmised that *he does not want his r cord of infamy, in connection with the Haves fraud, again brought to the from, as it would be were he a candidate for Governor. John £her_ man is a far greater villain than J. Madison Wells, and justly takes rank with Eliza PinkstoD, the swamp angel, whose recent demise in prison was eminently suggestive of the latter end of Republican "high officials’* _such as Mr. W. P. Flshback talks about oocasioaaily.

The Valparaiso Messenger says:— Mar. ball county has four railroads crossing It from east to west and north and south. These roads pay an an nual tax into the county treasury of $13,679 27, or sne-eighth of the entire amount of taxes collected. Here in Porter county we have seven railroads crossing ‘the county from east to west, and they pay an annual tax Into the county treasury of $21,730 59 or over one-flfth of the entire amount of taxes collected. Thup.it is readily seen, the aid vot. ad to railroads Is soon paid baok by the roads to the people in the shape of taxes, and when canceled does not etop. but continues in all future time to share with the-people the burden g #f taxation. The creation of these enterprises lessens the taxation #f in* divlduals in extent to the amount paid bv such improvements. Without takiag into consideration the many other advantages derived from th© construction of railways, in this one particular of Staxatioa the voting of aid, in the end, Is a good pryiug investment

Tho S iprcms Court of his State has decided that a marriod woman canaot enter into partnership with her husband or any other person lor the purpose of carrying on business, and tha she is not liable for goods scld to the firm iu which she is a partner.

The ’amilies of sixteen striking coalminers of Pinckneyville. Illinois, who were lodged in jail the other day for riotously assaulting the men employed in their places, demand that the county commissioners furnish them with means of subsistence while the heads of the families are irapris oned. Beinar refused aid, the women Thursday attacked the non-union miners as they were going to work and drove them hack. While the owners or the mines eooy the benefits and profits of the jrotectire tariff, the laboring miners are sent to jail because they insist on receiving wages that will enable them to buy bread.

The republican Senate of Pennsylvania having (fbfsated a re-appoition ment for congressional, legislative a >d judicial purposes, Governor Pattisen promptly called a special ses Sion of the General Assembly for the jurpose of performing that duty as prescribed by the constitution. The Governor tells the obstructionists some wholesome truths, but Cameron’s subjects are so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of partisanship that all appeals for decent action fall upon deaf ears. A fair apportionment is just what they don’t want and what tfcry intend to defeat at all hazards. Their conduct in this matter is reprehensible in the extreme.

General Longstreet says the negroe g of Georgia maintain an outward sem. blauee of adharence to the Repuolican organization for the sake of getting a Federal office or two, but cn election day they vote the Democratic ticket. There is a colored voting po pulatiou in Georgia of about 65,000. The total number of Republican votes §ast in the last election was about 25,000, of which about half were poll ed by w.site voters. That shows that at least 50,000 of the Georgia colored citizens have cut loose from tho party of freedmen’s bureaus and similar institutions, which were supposed to have been founded in their interest. It would be pleasant to see the organs of the coalitiou tackle these fig-* ures and show that those 50,000 colored Georgians voted with the Democrats from compulsion.

Protectieu or free trade is the way the republicans put the tariff issue. Subsidy to the manufacturer or jus tice to the consumer is the way the people will see the issue when they go to the polls. Protection doesn’t cut any figure in the issue as it is made now. It is a question of war taxes and not of protection. The existing tariff is on an average 30 per cent, higher than the original protective tariff devised by Morrill anc made la by the first republican congress. Now the democrats do dot ask for a decrease of more than 20 per cent, of the 30 per cent, Increase on the Morrill tariff, put on wholly to yield a war revenue. A tariff that is 10 per cent, higher than the-tariff regarded as ample protection more than twenty yeats ago is a long way off from free trade. Our infant industries were nearly a quarter of a century younger whe ■« the Morrill tariff was passed, and they do not surely need more protection than was regarded as entirely sufficient then.— St. Louis Republican.
