AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. The General Ilagjjajreinasters San Francisco, Jan. 17. The final meetrngof the National Association of General !Baggageuiasters was held to-lay. A committee was appointed to securo national legislation upon the subject of the trans

portation of dead bodies. Tho following -officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, T. Newton, Detroit; vicepresident, W. J. Robinson, Cincinnati; secretary and treasurer. J. K. Quick, Detroit. Thft convention adjourned to meet at Detroit on July 17 next. Personal, Local and State Note. J. D. Layug, of New York, president of t'ue Bee-line, will com west next week. Roswell Miller, president of tho Chicago. "Milwaukee 3L fcst- Paul road, is expected home from Europe next week. C. C "Waite. general manager of tho Cincinnati, Hamilton Jb Daytonlines, has gone

.Last, to be absent several days. The directors of the Terre Haute Indianapolis road have declared a semi annual dividend of 3 per cent., payable Feb. 1. Fred Benjamin, formerly with the C, I., St. L. &, C. road, now chief train-dispatcher of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, is in tho city. Shippers in Chicago and the Northwest are enjoying tho bene tit of tho express war, but, Indianapolis as yet, has received no "benefit from it. Judge Gresham has given Receiver McNulta, of the Wabash road, permission to purchase 4,000 tons of steel rai Is. He asked for permission to purchase 6,000 tons. Chas. S. La Follette, "Western passenger agent C, I., tit. 1. & C, left on ednesday morning for a trip to the Facitic coast anil the Northwest, in the interests of the road. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is still experimenting on the best method of he?kting its trains by steam. None of the devices yet tried have worked satisfactorily. General Passenger Aeent Rockwell and General Freight Agent McLcod, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, were in the city yesterday, looking after matters connected with their respective depart; ments. . The Vandalia will, this month, receive from tho Pittsburg locomotive-works three iiiore rifty-two-ton engines, adapted to mauling its heavy express trains or fast live-stock trains. It is said new parties are seeking to gain rontrol of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton system. Since Monday, several laro blocks of stock have been sold, some of it tt an advance of six cents on, the dollar. The Chicago railway managers have de:idd not to put on tho last limited trains ignin between Chicago and Kansas City, bu.t will shorten up the running time of their regular express trains considerably. William Bedell has been appointed district passenger agent of the. Pennsylvania and the Vandalia lines, with headquarters At San Francisco, vice J. 15. F. Kirland, resigned to accept service with the Union Pacific road, The appointment takes effect to-day. The report of the interstate commission for 18S8 contains a summary of results obtained by tho statistical bureau. It shows that over one thousand companies, out of fourteen hundred odd, filed with tho commission sworn reports for the year ending June, SO 1S8S.

chief engineer of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western road, took hold yesterday. He is a man of large experience in railroad construction, and will bo valuable to the company when it gets in shape to extend its Toad westward. A meeting of the committee on tho reorganization of the Central Traffic Association will be held in Chicago, next week, 4 when the resignation of Chairman Blanchnrd will bo considered. Tho belief gains favor that Tra flic Manager McDoel, of the , li., N. A. &. C, will be the successor of Mr. ' Blauchard. The outstanding second bondholders of the Chicago &. Atlantic are to make more trouble. They represent $17,000,000. and bavee decided to take an appeal from tho decision of Judge Gresham ordering tho road sold. Theso bondholders have shown a good deal of persistence in lighting the first mortgage bondholders. The executive commit tee of the Superin- - tendents' Central Association held a meeting, yesterday, in this city, to revise "the by-laws and constitution of the organization. There were present Superintendents Bent, of the O. &. M. road; Bennett, of the C, St. L. &. P. road; Peters, of the Little Miami; Neilson. of the C, II. D., and Klliott, of the Vandalia. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago people are pushing improvements this mild weather. In tho last sixty, days they have placed six miles of heavy new steel rail in their track, and this week have swung into position two tine iron bridges over White river, one at Gosport and the other at Bedford. These structures are each 450 feet long. and. coat tho company, $,000. Both will be tested to-day. The earnings' of the T. II. L. division of the Vandalia have been so satisfactory of lato that the management has decided to improve the trai n service. Ifca trains are to be neated with .at cam taken from the locomotive. Parlor cars are to bo run on one of the trains earh way daily, and the time is to be shortened, which can readily bo done, as the improvements to the road-bed in the last eighteen months have been extensive. John McNnlta, receiver of tho Wabash, has issued his reporb for the month of December, which ahows: Balance on hand Nov. SO, 1SSS, $257,912.67; receipts Dec. 1 to 31, 1SSS, inclusive, an current account, $371,750.20: total, $M20,fiti&9ti. Disbursements Dec. 1 to 31. ISSK. inclusive, on accounts prior to April 1, li87, $209.78; disbursements Dec. 1 to 81, 1S88, inclusive, on current account, $SS4,331.r$; total. $$84.M1.3e; balancecash on hand Dec 31, IBSa, H5,i21.a. It is an encouraging sign that the first 1 lnrrrwl ir?rlafirn r f flr nros!iiiita n irr,

ment, since Jan. 1, has been investigated by the president of a competing lino to the extent of obtaining anidavits to prove tho charges. Nothing wMl, go further toward establishing faith between railroad companies and raiiwa3' managers than tho furnishing of a few examples in intlictiug penalties for cutting rates secretly. The plan for the quarterly issue of joint fassenger rate-sheets in all parts of, the Inited States, inaugurated by the .Central Traffic Association, and commended by the Interstate-commerce Commission, seems likely, in view of the desire of the managers of railways generally to conform to the interstate-commerce law. and cut oft all unnecessary expenses, to be a perfect success. Vice-chairman Daniels has just issued a circular, including a list of 20 lines that have antlTftfpd nf thn. ulnn rwl nKn n Met tf :

enty-two joint passenger rate-sheets, in which everj- line interested has voted to givo it a trial. The heavy grain crops, in Illinois and Indiana have done much V.o bring tho weak crossroads out of the financial mire. The . Chicago dfc Ohio Kiver road. fonnerljthe Danville, Ulney &, Ohio River, earned enough in lbS to pay its operating expenses and fixed eharires, something which the road has not done in tho ten wars preceding. . The Cairo branch of the Wabash is another road which has made a better exhibit than in any year since it was built, and even the Indiana Midland, which Was swamped in debt, is making earnings , in moving the corn crop on its line, which are fast relieving it of its financial trouble s. . , - Miscellaneous Item. The Union Pacific has ordered fifteen arinr-cars built at tho car-works iu St. ,ouis. Mo. The New York Central people are to test a patent metallic crosstie. The tie will be rolled from soft steel 5-16 inch thick iu tho

body and 1-2 inch thick m the llange. On the 27th of this month tho Mexican Central Railroad Company will put on vestibule trains to run between New Orleans and Mexico. Three trains a month will be run each way. After paying its declared dividends it is stated that the Lake Shore road will have nearly 52,.rj00,()0u in its treasury to expend on improvements to the property or increasing the next dividend. The car-works at Anuiston,' Ala., have contracts now booked for 6.000 cars, which will keep them busy most of the year. The works have purchased 10,000,000 feet of lumber, to be used in car construction. An employe, at the shops of the Philadelphia a: Reading company has invented a .snow Plow which gives 6nch satisfaction that the general superintendent has ordered twenty-hve built after the same pattern. The Canadian Pacific is introducing on its lines 3omu dining -cars which cost

000 apiece. The seats are covered with Russia leather, and the interior of the car lined with plate-glass mirrors between tho windows. New capital has becomo interested in tho old-time Taunton locomotive-works, and the engines which they will turn out this year are to be of the highest standard. There are engines of theso works on the Terre Haute &, Indianapolis road which have been in service for over thirty years. But they have been rebuilt two or three times. At a meeting of the directors of the New York Central As Hudson River Railroad Company, yesterday, the resignation of James Tillniffhast. assistant to the president since William H. Vanderbilt retired from the presidency, was accepted. By a unanimous vote of the directors, Mr. Henry, Walter Webb was elected to till the vaeancy. Mr. Webb, for several years, has been tho first vice-president of the Wagner Car Company, and he will retain that ottice.

ELECTIONS A FAKCE.

The Republicans of South Carolina Issue a Strong Adores to Congress. Columbia (S. C.) Special. Ellery M. Rrayton, chairman of the Republican State executive committee, and ex-internal revenue collector, has prepared a lenjrthy paper for circulation throughout the North, and especially among the inemlers of tho next Congress, upon the election laws of South Carolina and the suppression of the Republican vote. He characterizes the recent election in South Carolina as a 4miserable farce," and claims that out of a vote of 120,000 the Kepublicans were suff ured to have counted 13,740. Mr. Brayton declares "that the result is canvassed and. discounted in advance, and the so-called election is but the formal registry of what has been ordained," and further, "that "the election demonstrated the effectual suppression of the elective franchise in this State and the utter futility of contending against the infamous laws under which they are held, and the rights of suffrage are annihilated. ;As matters now stand Republicans are political outcasts and aliens to the commonwealth, and have no right which the Democrats will concede or respect." "The election system of South Carolina," ho says, "openly violates every principle of right, justness and fairness. It was enacted to enable tho few required to work its machinery to accomplish 'all that the masters of the party have been able to achieve

false swearing on tho part of the voter, or

its illegal omission or perjury on tho part of the supervisors," and alleges that theso are venal offenses, for which the Bourbon puplic opinion offers ready and full absolution. In support of theso charges Mr. Brayton states that on the last election day there was picked up on the public road in Oconee county a batch of thirty-six blank registration certificates, duly signed by the supervisor, with their serial number exceeding No. 6100, though there are less then o,000 voters, all told, in the county. Continuing, he saj-s: "But, dove-tailed with tho registration iniquity are the other abhorrent features of the law," and alleges that the purpose of the cigbt boxes used is to confuse and entrap the illiterate Republicans. He charges that the managers are always hostile, and no reliance can be placed on their answers to questions, and that they shift tho location of the boxes, when they think the Republicans have become posted concerning them, and "revel in the fun which the blunder affords." Mr. Brayton declares that tho negroes are systematically denied lecal rights and ordinarv justice; that they aro habitually excluded from the jury-box; that labor' organizations among them are prohibited; that emigration agents are not suffered to visit several of the counties, and that the law against carrying concealed weapons is enforced almost exclusively against negroes. In concluding, Mr,. Brayton says that the duty falls on the national government to interpose as it did immediately following the war, and adds: "If laws are enacted by which the conduct and management of all the federal elections are taken from the hands of the State and placed in the hands of federal officers, with full authority, a summary solution of many difficulties involved in the situation will, have been provided. THE NEWSPAPER IN SCHOOL.

Its Incalculable Value In Agisting Children to a Complete Education, New York Graphic. It is a trite assertion that tho Americans are essentially a newspaper-reading people. From the shop girl to the millionaire the daily paper is almost as much of a necessity as food and drink, and as a lever for wielding the mind nf the nennlo it ia nnuir.

passed in force and power. It is an element for good or evil, whichever way it may be directed, and those who guide the policy of a great paper assumo a responsibility almost as potent as that which is accorded to the law-makers more potent, perhaps, for it wields the will of the people, their hopes, their passions and their ambitions. It aids tho pulpit in the suppression of vice, and thoughtful minds lead men to better endeavor. But it has been left for once despised Kansas to introduce the newspaper as a practical factor in school education. At a school at Heston. in that State, a copy of the Kansas City News, so the editor of that paper informs its readers, is kept constantly on .file for the use of the teachers and scholars. It is quite evident that the young idea of Heston will be taught to shoot in the right direction. The boy who is abreast with the news of the dav has won half tho.battle towards fame anu fortune. To be up with the times you must be one of them. There is a good deal of rudo bufleting in this world, and to be out of the swim is to receive more buffets than justly belong to you. The successful merchant is not the one who understands the routine of business only, but ho who is conversant with the affairs of the world and regulates his interests according to them. In the new towns of the West houses are built first, then a church, then a newspaper office home, religion and intelligence going hand iu hand to build up a sturdy and enterprising manhood. There is level-headed common senso in these Kansas teachers who have introduced the newspaper into the school-rooni. It is a whole curriculum of study in itself, and this Western custom might be transplanted here with advantage to future Cabinet ministers and, mayhap, Presidents. He Was a T. K." JCew York Graphic. A Missouri gentleman who has been visiting iu New York for several days is CoL O. W. Cottinger, who, in answer to a recent inquiry as to his politics, told a new story about President Lincoln. "I guess I'm a T. K.," said the Colonel. "Possibly you don't know what a T. K. is. When Mr. Lincoln first went to Washington ho 1m t up at a hotel kept by an old friend of lis named Shad, and he continued to patronize the old man after he became President. If he was going down tho Potomac on one of the government boats old Shad was always given the order to put supplies aboard, and went always to see them properly served. Secretary Stanton mistrusted Shad, and one dav hinted to President Lincoln that the old fellow was a rebel sympathizer, and that it wasn't safe to let him go aboard the boat, as he might hear something which he would report to the rebel authorities. As the boat went down thn river Mr. Lincoln got alongside old Shad and said to him. Shad, what are your polities' The old fellow looked around at the President and replied. Mr. Lincoln. I guess I'm a T. K. -Audwhatisa T. K.t' asked Mr. LinTavern keeper,' was the solemn reply, at which Mr. Lincoln laughed, and going to Secretary Stanton said, 'It's all right, Stanton, the man who knows enough to keep a taveni knows enough to keen his mouth shut, too. Old Shad is all right." A Perfect Understanding. Washington Critic. "I heardyou read the other evening, Mr. Lamhskiu." she remarked pleasantlv at a recentiou yesterday. "Ah, indeed," he replied in a tickled tone. "I hope you liked it. It was my second, and I assure you, it is my last appearance." "I am so glad," she twittered. "LTm-er-ah." he began, and she saw she had thoughtlessly struck him somewhere. "Oh, I mean," she broke in, "I was glad to hear your last reading, because I would never hear you again and and" "Thanks," he interrupted gloomily, "don't mention it. I understand perfectly. Good morning." And he went away determined to read again at the first opportunity.

The Leaders In the Scheme and the Farcical Grand Jury Proceedings. CuMilng, in New York Press. Not even the Republicans of Indiana have had half an idea of the depths and extent of the conspiracy just now thwarted by the simple meting out of justice. First, the attack was to be made on William Wade Dudley, of whom nothing more complimentary can be said to Kepublicans everywhere than the plain truth that ho is the man most hated by all Hoosier Democrats. The forgery upon him was thought to bo the safer because it was known that tho intended victim had enemies among the leaders of his own party who were not big enough not to be jealous. Tho forgery could not only bo used to the damage of tho Harrison cause all over tho country, but after election the bluster and bluff might possibly result in fishing up enough evidence to secure an indictment. Tho Democrats readily recognized their proper leaders. Foremost in the whole business has been the notorious Leon O. Bailey. When tho Dudley forgery was sprung into the campaign, and the result of it had been found, after election, to have been helpful, if anything, to tho Kepublieau cause, and when every possible bluff was seen to bo necessary to support the crybaby tactics of the President and the organs of his party, in order to account for their bitter defeat, the prosecution was determined upon. The process of tho examination before the federal grand jury has been made a burlesque. The methods used by the prosecution, all through the examination, prepared every well-informed politician on both sides for the conclusion that has now been reached. Not only is it evident now that the only hope of procuring an indictment lay in the. supposed evidence that would be proffered. The Eastern evidence was expected to establish that not only a damaging letter of some sort, but the very letter which it was hoped they could establish the receipt of some where in Indiana, was sent out from the rooms of the Kepublieau national committee by. Colonel Dudley himself. Whether any of the Democratic or mugwump papers had secured evidence enough successfully to defend a libel suit which tho Colonel brought against several of them, it is believed that they adhered to the Bailey proposition with reluctance. They preferred to let tho whole thing drop. Hut tho Democrats of Indiana were in a hole, and several reporters of tho New York Times and Evening Post came on and gave such testimouy as they had. It doesn't appear that Bailey really thought that they established the sending of the alleged Dudley letter from New York or not, or the sending of any letter. His spirits were better after they came, but he also admitted that there was no telling whether evidence that impressed a prosecuting officer deeply would also make an impression on a juryman. Nor does it appear even then that he realized that ho must establish that the particular letter was received definitely in Indiana some where, as well as that it was sent if he could establish that. John W. Murphy, the big dry goods man; Judge Solomon Claypool, of two kinds of reputation, who succeeded Bailey as district attorney, and Alexander C. Ayres, a resigned ex-judge of the Circuit Court, were pushing, or pretended to be pushing, the Dudley 'investigation." Chairman Charles L. Jewett ami Judge Lewis Jordan, of the Democratic State committee; Jacob P. Dunn, alias "Jake" Dunn, a free-trade writer for the Sentinel, under the pay of the State committee, and editor Samuel Morse, of the same paper, gave such evidence as they could, or cared to. Nothing came of it all. Then the prosecutor went fishing with the proposition evidently in mind that an alleged Dudley letter bad been sent to each of the Republican county chairmen ami secretaries. They were subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury at Indianapolis before the first adjournment, to permit Judge Woods to hold court at Fort YV ayne. was had, this little Bailey imposition had cost the government $b000; and that, too, to tho clear intention to prevent justice; for in no less than fifty cases did the prosecution take the chairman or the secretary aside and say: "Have you seen this letter or any letter from Dudley?" "No," the reply always was. ! "You would swear to that before the juryP "I certainly should." . 'Then," the prosecutor would say, "you iuay go," and so all this negative testimony was prevented from having a hearing alter it had come up for that purpose. The prosecution was spending tho government's money, not to secure the ends of justice, but to indict Colonel Dudley, if possible, whether or no.

THE COTTON-SOUTH NEGROES. Ex.Govemor Bullock Thinks Force Cannot Help the Negro as a Yoter. Interview lu New York Graphic. "It seems impossible for our friends at the North to understand our situation in the section denominated by the Chicago Tribune as the Cotton South. It is easy for you to ask why the Republican party in Georgia, for instance, does not show itself competent to put out and support Republican candidates in all the congressional districts. But it is not so easy to answer in a way that you and our friends here will understand. For example, 1 am a Republican, and have been since I accepted the reconstruction policy of Congress. But the party organization which carried that policy to a success, culminating in Georgia, formally and by resolution disbanded when a Republican Congress abandoned that policy. The Republican party organization now In Georgia is composed exclusively of negroes, with the exception of a few old white federal office-holders and aspirants for federal position. Recognizing the right of the majority to rule in a party, the supremacy of the negro in the Republican party of the State is complete, and this condition is no doubt true of all the Cotton South. Now it must be plain to you that white recruits cannot be attracted to a party organization the control of which, numerically, is with tho blacks, especially when the jreueral public repute of that party is that its chief object is to magnify the political power of the blacks. There are many thousands of men like myself who, while agreeing with the national party on economic issues, have tin rclniiiiiw wlp.itnvnr ivitli lirol nnvfr

and vote with complete independence on

all home issues.'7 "But what shall be done for the negro voter!" "I believe that the Republican party has done for the negro all that it can do politically. His rights as an American citizen are fixed in the Constitution of the United States and of every State. These rights aro being admitted and exercised everywhere in the 'Cotton South.' There is nothing more his 'Uncle Samuel' can do for him, except to make liberal appropriations for his education. This will benefit him in a practical way and benefit the communities in which he lives by making him a more useful citizen. But above all things our party should attempt no legislation for the regulation and control of elections. Its only effect would be to keep the whites consolidated in opposition in the South and imperil the narrow majority we now have in the North. Massachusetts or Iowa do not need national control in their elections, and the people of those States will not approve of legislation which is suspected of being intended to gain negro votes in the Cotton Souih. After twenty years of experience I can assure you that there is no law or force of federal control that will increase the Republican vote in the Cotton South. If the so-called Republican organizations in those States had not been in existence during the last ten years, we would have had a division among our white people, and a majority in favor of the Chicago platform at the. last presidential election. A very large number of our ablest citizens did not vote at tall, because they would not support the free-trade policy of their parti, but were not williug to "align themselves with a local party controlled by negroes. The material growth and prosperity of my hoction depends upon the maintenance of the Republican economic policy iu the Nation. Our own people will see and act upon this fact when the prejudice of casto and color is not stronger than pecuniary interest. Keen a solid North on theso great issues, and lue South will soon give you a majority of her congressional votes for their support." . A Gifted Young Man. Philadelphia Times. How deftly the human spider now and then weaves its web. An accomplished young newspaper man was recently dis

pelled from Boston to the interior of .New

lampshire to write up the history of an old ady of ninety-eight. He was told that she tad never so mnch as learned her letters.

Did he blurt it out in print! Not a bit of it.

He merely stated in his finely written article that "she can read the finest print as well as she ever could," and sent a marked copy of the paper to tho subject of the sketch. More recently the lady died, and when her will was admitted to probate it was found that she had made tho young writer her heir. Real Estate Transfer.
