An almost entire cessation of railway building this year is predicted.
The republicans will hold another rousing meeting in Oriental Hall next Saturday evening.
The Young Men's Republican Club is not a popular institution among the democracy. Its work is too effective for them.
Senators Harrison, of this.state, and Vest, of Missouri, are considered the most eloquent members of the body to which they belong.
The star route cases will not be reached before October next. The preliminary arguments to quash the indiotments will be oommeneed next Friday.
Jf the voters will follow the rules, used by all good business men, on Monday next the entire republican ticket will be elected by arousing majority.
France has more marriages thaa England, in proportion to population, but the birth rate in the former country has been steadily decreasing for years.
Congressman Browne has reconsidered his determination to leave the eelection of postmaster at Richmond to a popular vote, and will name a man himsalf.

This was not the first country to prohibit Chinese immigration. The parliament of New South Wales did it last year, and the act was approved by Queen Victoria last December.
The Gazette is taking a very deep interest just now in President Arthur's appointments, and doesn't seem to be at all pleased with them. It is too bad, and we feel sorry for Mr. Arthur.
Tlie democrats of Harrison township seem to rely upon the success of their ticket next Monday to dissatisfaction ia the republican ranks, rather than to inherent strength in their candidates.
The republicans have presented the voters of this township with a ticket for which no man need feel ashamed to vote. All are honest, industrious men. Each is a good business man, and should receive the solid republican vote.
Wholesale houses and commercial trav elers, who have been annoyed by the im position, will be pleased to learn that the United States Supreme court has pronounced state laws imposing taxes upon commercial travelers unconstitutional.
Democrats are doing all in their power to create dissatisfaction in the republican ranks. The efforts will only result in a cloeer union and harder work for the
BU:
cess of the ticket. Republicans have a knack of pulling together when election time draws near.
A demand is being made upon congress to re-issue the fractional currency of several yearB ago. The plates have all been destroyed, but could be engraved on Bhort notice if congress would only appropriate the money to do so. There is a great demand fcr some sort of currency which could be sent by mail in sums of less than one dollar, and some clafses of business have been dertr-yed for want 'of it.
The work of exterminating the game of this country is being, pushed so'fenergetically th^t the day is nal far distant when it will become altogether extinct. The buffalo is disappearing so rapidly that the next generation is likely to know it only ID animal of the paat, and will gsza in wonder upon the specimens preserved in museums. What is true of the buffalo is also applicable to all other large game of the territories, which is being blaughtered at soch a rate as to insure rapid disappearance.
A writer in "Forest and Stream" recently gave some interesting facts and figures in relation to' the destruction of our game, which will bear reproduction in a condensed form. In Montana and Wyoming is to be found the greater number of large game, which makes them the scene of the operations of hunters for pelts and amateur sportsmen throughout the open game season. Provided their meat is utilised, it is lawful to kill the game from August first to the first of February or March. This does not, however, prevent wholesale slaughter for the pelts merely, without any regard to to the utilization of the flesh. Even in the closed Beaeon the work of destruction goes on without fear of plinisbment. The region is vast and thinly populated the cost of executing the law is so great that there is little vigor used in enforcing ir, and it is practically a dead letter.
In the east matters are very little tetter than in the far west. During the shooting season every game report is overrun with sportsmen of every description, and the day is fast approaching when the comparatively small amount of game remaining will be completely driven eut. The shooting grounds have to be very closely guarded by private owners from the attacks of the horde of pretended sportsmen who are always prowling around both in and out of game season. The shooting mania has even invaded Florida since that state has opened Hp as a winter aisd spring resort, and in all parts of it the sound of firearms is as common as the light of day.
With such a passion tor gunning in the country the migratory birds have a hard time of it. "From the time the ducks and geeee cross the forty-ninth parallel in September on their way south, and their re turn again in May, they are under a constant fusillade, the badly wounded numbering about as many ae those bagged and so with the snipe." The grouse havo an equally hard time of it. "The work on them is of shorter duration, but far more effective, for every sportsman of tie eastern states is dumped out on the prairies of the west, and there is a constant banging heard in every township for several months."
The Union Pacific railroad drove ths large game oui of Colorado, and the Northern Pacific promises soon to do the same thing for Montana and Wyoming. When the price of the hides was low the destruction of the cnimals was small, but now that they are worth $2 50 to $7 each it has become profitable to destroy the animals. The following figures of the namber of hides shipped from the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, during the years 1880 and 1881, will convey tome idea of the extent of the slaughter: 1880. 1881. Buffalo 27,780 116,090 Deer and antelope 167,000 143,000 Elk 8,206
Total 194,700 264,200 These shipments were worth on the river bank last year $450,000, which was divided among about 1,500 persons, It is rarely that the buffalo hunter makes more than a scanty living. His expenses are high and constant, and the work is of the hardest kind, having t6 be dona Curing the most severe winter weather. The number of hides shipped is from twentyfive to thirty per cent, short of the number of animals, which would make the total number last year about three hundred thousaud. It is estimated that if the present rate of killing is continued the extermination of the buffalo wiil bi complete in four years.
To remedy the existing evil Congress* man Post, of Wyoming, has introduced a bill making it unlawful for any person or parsonB ta kill or destroy any elk, deer, antelope, buffalo, mountain sheep or bisoa in any of the territories of the United States, at any time, except for fcod, and then only when necessary for burn subsistence. The quanity required for domestic market food supply may, however, be killed, and nothing in the bill is .to prevent that. The bill also forbids the transportation out of the Territories of any of th? animals named, either dead or alive, or the skios or pelts of any. It makes it unlawful to deal in the animals or in their skins. Infractions of the law are to be punished after conviction by fine or fine and imprisonment.
While no person for a moment believes that the bill would effectually stop the slaughter now going on, it would certainly reduce it materially if honestly enforced and every true sportsman would rejoice over its passage.
The Gazette is msking an attempt to resurrect the colored bolt. Yesterday it interviewed an individual upon the subject who has been a professed democrat for a number of years. Of course the information be imparted was eminently satisfactory—much more SJ than will be the vote next Monday to the democracy.
The bloodhound is still used in Georgia, if we believe the following from the Newman Herald:
Carter Philips, one of the three darkies who escaped from the calaboose a few days since, was captured last Saturday by Captain Robinson with the aid of his bloodhound. He was found perched on a tree in a swamp, feeling sure that the dog wouldn't find him there.
The republican candidates are all good men. Each one is thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of the office for which he has been nominated. Under such circumstances no republican should scratch a ticket. Put them in straight and increase the majority of two. years ago.
PACmC BAIItWilW EARSI68. The*owe/hooae of congress a Mifct time ago adopted a resolution calling upon the secretary ot the interior to furnish a statement of the net c^bi&gs of the five Pacific railroads for z. series of yGars. The following ia the answer to ike resolution in condensed, form:

Sioux City A Paclflic from September, 1868, to December, 1981 Total 9157,917 682 52
1,191,992 61
These roads were completed and put in operation principally at government expense. The neat earnings do not represent the entire profits of the roads by any means, and it is allegsd (hat the Southern Pacific h«a been built entirely from the profits of the Central Pacific. The value of the franchises of these oads can scarcely be estimated, yet their owners are not satisfied, but are constantly wsntiog more. They are reprefented btforeeach congress by a powerful lobby, ever ready to advance every scheme which can bs of any interest-to them, or defeat any legislation which would be to their disadvyjtf ga. Tbesa are the gigantic corporation* which should be closely watched and surrounded by safeguards which will cause them to gi~e aa little trouble in the future ss possible.

Edison's Eailway.
•New York Specinl. Several miles of Mr. Edison's electric railway, at Meblo park, are now completed and a few days ago the pupils of Prof. A. E. Sloan's school, pf Bergen Point, New Jersey, about thirty in number, vere carried over this road by electricity at the rste of twenty miles per hour. At the experiments in Berlin last year, on nine miles of the Siemen's road, the ppeed attained was only about ten miles an hour. Mr. EdiBon's track is like that of any ordinary railway, ihvolviog curves, grades (one over thirty et to the mile), with the various obstacles of ravines, streams and rocks. The car resembles our modern horse car. The electricity ia communicated from the generators, some 800 yards away, by two heavy wires, one ..connecting with cach track. The tracks are insulated by covering the ends of the ties with a non-con-ducting compound. The wheels take up the electricity from the trsck and communicate with the dynamo electric machine and gearing in the locomotive. Thus is given to the train a noiseless, rapid, pleasant motion, unattended with emoke, cinders and clatter.

San Francisco Call. Tne engagement of Mies Maggie Hamilton, a lady known in society circles in San'Francieco, to Sir Sidney Walerlow, Bart, ex Lo:d Msyor of London, ia one of the announcement r.ow attracting the atlen'ion of vociety here and in the British metropolis. Sir Sidney is an elderly English gentleman, who lias seen the sixty-fifth return of his birthday anniversary, and possesses an independence estimated in round numbers at $25,000,000. In the fall of 1881 be extended a tour of pleasure and observation to this coast, and while in San Francisco was entertained principally by Mrs George D. Roberts. During this visit he first met the young lady to whom he ia bethrothed. The 28th of this month ia th# day fixed upon for the nuptials to take place. It is said that a handsome marrisge settlement will be made upon the bride, and that her mother and sister will also be liberally provided for.

A native Japanese paper entitled the Maru Maru Chimbun has taken to the publication of satirical cartoons, referring to prominent topics, somewhat after the fashion of our English comic papers. One of the latest of these, representing a caricature of three men with their beads wrapped in cotton towels, is entitled "Hashi Chiken," These words, according to the explanation 1 the picture given in the Japan Weekly Mail, "signify the Dentist Chiken, but may also be taken to mean 'abolition of Colonization Commission and establishment of prefecture.' Of these two meanings, of course, the.reader has bis option.
Now and then the regular installment of M. Zola's "Pot-Bouille" fails to appear in the columns of M. Jules Simon's newspaper, and the reason given for the fact is good one. Visits have been made toM.

He eays he can go to London, Paris, or St. Petersburg, with twenty men, each carrying 8n ordinary satchel, and in twentyfour hours burn the whole place.
The latest in special journalism is a monthly published at Joliet, 111., called the National Detective.

SOME MOBS SOUTH AMERICAN CORRESPONDENCE. WASHINGTON, March 28.—The following correspondence vu sent to the House of Representatives to-day: To the President:
The Secretary of State to whom was referred the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 27th inst., requesting the President, if not incompatible with public interests, to inform the House whether any protocol has been signed by Trescott, or any other diplomatic representative of the United States, .setting forth terms for ending the war in South America, and if any such protocol has been Bigned, to furnish the House whh a copy of the same, and also with copies of the correspondence relating thereto not already communicated to one of the bouses of Congress, has the honor to lsy before the President the following report in answer to that resolution:
Up to the present time the Department of State has received no information, either from Trescott or^ the diplomatic representatives of the United States in Chili or Peru, that any protocol of the character described by the resolution has been signed by Trescott, or by such diplomatic representatives. As coming, however, within the general scope of the resolution, and in order that Congress.may have all possible information touching negotiations for the restoration of peace in South America, the Secretary of State has the honor to submit to the President, to be laid before the House of Representatives, if in his judgment, such a course shall be advisable, the substance of telegrams exchanged with Trescott subsequent to the date of the last submission of correspondence to either branch of Copgress, and a copy of the instructions mailed to Trescott on the 24ih ult., as described in the accompanying list of papers.
Respectfully submitted,
[Signed.] FBED'K T. FKELINSHUYSEN, Dep't of Slate, Washington, March 28 1882.
No. 1.—Tre'scott to Frelingbuysen, telegram, Feb. 2nd. "I have received from you no answer to my telegram of the 23rd of January. It is very desirable that I should have one."
No. 2.—Frelinghuysen to Trescott, telegram, Feb. 4,1882. "The President instructs me to say that this Government can only propose to give counsel and aid negotiations. Cbili must determine for^ herself whether she deems it wise to listen to such counsel. No part will be taken by the United States in the negotiations. Both upon the surrender of TarBpaca and the payment of an indemnity of $20,000,000, the demand is looked upon as exorbitant, and it is thought that the time has come when Chili may be magnanimous and just."
No. 3.—Frelinghuysen to Trescott, telegram, February 21st, 1882. "The President and Department have been hoping that you would report progress by cable. You may assent to a liberal war indemnity, which is not unjust. The cession of Tarapaca cannot be assented to without first cabling here for further instructions. If Chili should^insist upon the cession, it is not impossible that tne creditors of Peru may maintain that its revenues are hypothecated to them. The President urges moderation on the part of Chili."
No. 4.—Frelinghuysen to Trescott: "DEPARTMENT OF SLALE, 1 "WASHINGTON, Feb. 24tb, 1882. "SIR I have received your No. 7, of the 13th ultimo, announcing your arrival at Santiago, and openiog negotiations with the Chilian Government. Before answering tiiia dispatch it will be convenient to peat the substance of the telegramR bstween you and the Department since the first of January, to make sure thct they have been properly received. [Secretary Frelinghuysen here gives the substance of the telegrams already published, and continues]:
My telegrams, if they have reached you in unmutilated form, will have possessed
70U
of the substance of the Presi
dent's wishes in this matter. He is very desirous of having the good offices of the United States made available for the restoration of peace, but he is not willing to become the medium for a proposal which, in his judgment, is
BO
onerous that it can
not be entertained by Peru. He is still of the opinion that it would be_ the part of far flighted wisdom in Chili to accept from Pern the payment of a just indemnity in money, guaranteed, if insisted on, by the temporary occupation of territory .rather than a peremptory demand for cession of territory. On the other hand, he remains convinced that the United States has no right which is conferred either by treaty stipulations or by public law to impose upon a belligerent, unasked, ita views of just settlement, and it has no interests at stake commensurate with the evils that might follow an interference, which would authorize it to interpose between these parties further than warrant«d by treaties, by public law, or by the voluntary acts of both parties. If Chili is indisposed to listen to friendly advice on this point, the President, as my cable has already informed you, will not take part in negotiations which are based upon both the surrender of Tarapaca and the payment of a large indemnity to the demand of Pern. The surrender of a valuable province and the payment of $20,000,000 in ten years, with a disorganized government, provinces in anarchy and despoiled territory, is to ask for that which Peru, in all probability, cennot render. The President cannot permit this Government to be a party to such a demand. If there is to bs no modification in those terms, it will be the part of wisdom in Chili to carefuliy consider to what a refusal may lead. The President feels that you may, without impropriety, frankly.but in a friendly spirit, bring ucme of these considerations before the Minister of Foreign Affairs, ia your conversations with him. At present it is understood that the whole of Peru west of the main cbain of the Andes is in the occupation of Chili, and the care and expense of maintaining a government, preserving society and enforcing order _1B thrown kupon the armed hostile occupiers. Rep-
meotativee of Chili are at Paris, and show as Aat not only has all pretence of military opposition disappeared, bat all jgovermebtal organisation is dissolved, "ird that the Chilian bayonet is sit that saves Pferu from anarchy. Admitting this to be so, one of four things must follow: First, that armed occupation is to be permanent or, *econdy that the invader is to be driven out bv force or third, that Chili will withdraw, retaining so much of Peru as it desires, leaving the rest to its fate or, fourth, that an honorable peace. will be made, 1 saving to Peru a government and a name. Chili can hardly desire the iirat of there alternatives, with the questions that are sure to follow between it and the creditors of Peru. To the second it will undoubtedly answer that it never can take place, but h-will be well to recall event's that have taken place in the history of these two powers, which tend to shew that even the apparently impossible does occur. The third alternative ^seems to be impracticable if it were practicable,
Chili could not justify hereelf before the world, ana in any -event, should it eventuate in occupation and absorption without the co-assent of Peru 01 territory whose productions sre pledged to the creditors of that power, this could not be done without raising grave questions in the future of Chili, which the United Slates, as a friend of that energetic and industrious people, would wish to have avoided. The fourth alternative is, in the opinion of the President, the wisest and safest course. He is anxious for inany palpable reasons that it should be brought about tbrotigh the peaceful influence which the Constitution entrusts 0 the Executive. The traditional attitude of the United States towards the sister Re publics of this continent is one of peace and friendly counsel. When as colonies they threw off their political connection with Europe, we encouraged them by our sympathies by the moral weight of our official declarations we prevented intervention either to restore the old political connections with Europe or to create new ones. The policy we then adopted bss been since maintained. Wbile we would draw them nearer to us by bonds of mutual interest and friendly feeling, our sole political connection springs from the desire that they should be prosperous and happy under the republican forms of government, which they and we have chosen. We. aim to be regarded aa a disinterested friend and counselor, but we do not assume to impose our wishes upon them, or to act as arbitrator or umpire in their disputes, unless moved to it by the wish of both parties, or by controlling interests of our own. Retaining our action within this sphere, the President desires you to continue to urge upon Chili, both by the arguments suggested in this instruction and by such other perti nent arguments not inconsistent thereto as may occur to. you from your knowledge of the subject, the wisdom and justice of making peace without the acquisition of Tarapaca, unless the province should eventually become Chilian through the inability of Peru to pay a reasonable war indimnity, to be agreed upon. The President dbes not presume to indicate what that indemnity should be, but he leaves discretion with you to assent to the tender of the good offices (I the United States to ^Psru on the bas'fl of a very liberal indemnity to Chili,, if Peruviaa territory is spared. If Chili ineists on retaining any of the territory whose products are or may be claimed by creditors of Peru, as mortgaged or hypothecated,' or in any other way made the basis of a loan, the President is not willing to involve the United States in the complications which might ensue. Ha prefers to reserve to this Government the full right to determine what its action shall be should such complications hereafter arise. "I am, sir, your obedient servant. [Signed] "FREDERICK T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
No. 5—Trescott to Frelinghuysen tel* gram, received February 26tb, 1882. "Ths terms of oeace will not be modified by Cbili, She alleges that In deference to the United States they are better than the terms offered at Lima and at Arica. The terms are extreme, and Chili is in fact so strong Mid Peru so crippled that mere friendly intervention will not have effect. I ask that definite instructions may be Bent by cable at once, telling me what to say and do. I think there is no use in my remaining here Shall I go to Peru and to Bolivia? Shall Blaine remain or return?"
No. 6—Frelinghuysen to Trescott, telegram, March 1,1882. "It is preferred that, you and Blaine should remain for the present. From time to time you can report the situation, losing no apportunity to carry out the President's views as already indicated to you."
No. 7—Trescott to Frelinghuysen, telegram, received March 5,1882. "I'have carried out your instructions scrupulously. The terms of peace will not be modified by Chili. The publication of the instructions to me, and of my confidential telegram, has. made it impossible to secure a modification. I will stay as directed, but I think that with the information which I have I can be more useful at Washington than here. Do you wish any communication of the intentions of the United States toPera or Bolivia?"

WASHINGTON, March 28.—Members of the Ways and Msans Committee say that their action of to-dav for reduction of the tax on cigars and cigarettes and of liquor licensee, is not in conflict with the decree of the late Republican caucu*f that that .decree was against,# reduction of the tax on whisky and tobacco only.

DIS8AT1SFIBD ORB.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—The dissatisfaction of the Republican Senators at what tbey consider the unnecessary dilatorinees of the President in making appointments is given expression daily, and the grumbling increases. On last Saturday half a dozen or so of BepublU can Senators who happened to meet_at the Cspitol, discussed the Presidential tardiness with some warmth* and commented freely upon what they regarded as favoritism shown certain Senators. It was remarked at this gathering that both the Massachusetts Senators had been slighted and neglected that Custom House oppointmente had been vacant for some wefeks, and though both Senators urgeddaily the filling of them, the President had taken no action at all. One Senator remarked that it looked to him as though the administration was a olose corporation, made up of leading stalwarts, including several Senators. It was mid that no Senators except Logan and Don Cameron could get any appointment, and that they seemed to get any they wsnted. This subject is a matter of every day talk now between Republican Senators, and criticisms and complaints that were recently whispered are now loudly spoken.
SERGEANT MASON*8 CASE.
It is pretty well understood that one of the principal points upon which tb* Judge Advocate General bases his opin ion in the Mason case, is that the charge of assault with intent to kill Was not fully established by the evidence presented. Another point said to have been raised by General Swaim is that Mason was not arraigned on a proper charge, aa his most serious offense from a militsry point of view was seditious conduct under circumstances that might have resulted in mutiny among the soldiers serving, with, him at the time. The approval of the report by the President would result in the discharge of Mason from custody, and renders him exempt from further proceedings on the part of the military authorities, for the same offense.
