Thk senate, while considering a bill
relating to tho appointment and compen
sation of a United States district judge for
the southern district of Alabama, agreed
to an amendment, fixing the salaries of
ail district judges at $5000 per annum,
the amendment being tlie hill recently
defeated by the senate. The hill, an
amended, was passed.
While a Chicago court is employed in
preliminaries for the triel of the mob
leaders who murdered seven of their
brave policemen and wounded liftv oth
ers, during the labor excitement and riots
two months ago, a small gang of switch-
men in the stock yards are engaged in
getting up other riots which may at any
time run into similar siwnliec of life.
Chicago seems to be dominated by a law
less lot.
It happens quite often that when men
goon a drunken spree for “fun” they
find, on coming to their sober senses,
that they have made themselves subject
to prison punishment for freaks they
scarcely thought of at the time. But
here is a ease from the lake region that
tells of three wild fellows who got drunk,
stole a vessel to taken sail, and who now
find thut the vessel they stole was Of a
character that makes their conduct
piracy, for which the punishment fixed
by the United States law is death ! Sup
posing they were simply a trio of
drunken thieves running off with a bout
in a frolic, they sober up to find them
selves pirates. It is, of course, not a mat
ter of practical morals to advise men
--who get drunk to keep those important
legal distinctions in mind while they are
drunk ; hut it may not lie amiss to advise
such men not to get drunk at all.
Not much legislation in the way of
“jobbery” is to lie feared at this session
of congress unless it comes in the guise
of pension Mils; and the chief reason (In-
apprehension as to these is because they
can he covered lip by the cloak of patriot
ism, and so be made to serve the purposes
of demagogues who will advocate any
measure likely to catch votes. But look
out for the second session. A congres
sional election comes between now
and then. For this reason the scheming
member will now avoid all legislation
(always excepting pensions) that has an
unmistakable flavor of jobbery about it, !
but will take readily to the devices of
the demagogue. The second or short
session brings the chance for tho jobber;
the election is over, and, if the schemer
lias been re-elected, lie is safe for three
sessions thereafter, no matter how lie
votes; and, if he lias been defeated, why
then, of course, lie votes entirely regard
less of consequence.
ON A I,1UMI Till XK LINK.
If our readers will take a map of the j
I nited States and measure the distance
from Kansas City to Fort Scott, and from
there via Memphis,Birmingham, Colum
bus and Macon to Savannah, and then
measure tlie same distance from Kansas''
City in a line towards New York, they
will doubtless lie surprised to find how
much nearer it is to Savannah than to
Now York. Indeed Savannah is the
nearest point on the Atlantic coast to the |
great west. From thence by steamer the !
distance is not more than “-’>0 miles, in )
"hat is called by railroad men prorate,
of railroad in « carrying freight. |
Adding this to the distance it will bo
found that the nearest route from Kan
sas t ity, and ot course from all points j
south and west of that place, to New
York or Europe is by Savannah. Then
"bon we consider that this whole south
ern line will be owned by two companies
and that the fixed charges are perhaps
not over half as much per mile as bv any
northern roads, and you will begin to ap- 1
preciate the immense advantages which |
this new route will have over all others.
To think that this magnificent scheme
is about to be accomplished ; that in all

it is with much pleasure that we call
attention of the reader to tlie charac
ter of tho news in our local columns
this morning.
II means great things for Columbus,
and our people should not fail to make
the most of the opportunity.
Jn the first place there has been no
better new s in the Eqkihrk-Skn for some
time than t he confirmation of the infor
mation that the Columbus and Western
road will be extended. The paragraphs
about the Georgia Midland and Gulf
evinces the high success with which that
road is being pushed in the construction.
The figures and statistics we present with
reference to the river business is of the
most encouraging character. A real
estate broker testifies to the
fact that property of that character is in
good demand, and that the tendency is
upward. Many other news items demon
strate that our people are hopeful and
have the brightest anticipations for the
future of the city. No one can carefully
peruse the columns of the ExqriREH-Sux
this morning and not arrive at the con
clusion that there is a bright out-look for
Columbus, and there is not a line hut
what is true and nothing overdrawn. If
anything, these subjects are not pre
sented in as favorable light as the actual
circumstances and surroundings would
justify.
These tilings are all encouraging. Co
lumbus is throwing oft the effects of the
late depression in trade, just as she did
tiie disheartening influences when the
city was left a blackened heap upon the
hanks of tiie Chattahoochee, having been
reduced to ashes and sacked by tho fed
eral army just after the war.
But there is another standpoint from
which tiie city may be viewed and from
whieli it will hear favorably the most
critical comparison, It is in the home of
her citizens. The home is the fountain
of happiness, and it is the one spot
on earth that should he guarded
from needless shadows. Home and !
beauty should be inseparably linked to
gether in tiie life of the humblest I
man and woman as well as in 1
i the life of the most exalted. Wealth is |
good in its place, but it needs no wealth
of gold or delicacy of art to make home |
j inviting and lovely. Tiie goi
is the architect for the poor and horny I
; hands can plant the tree and shrub, and j
the child, schooled to the refining love of
] the beautiful, can train tiie simple flower
to deck the little window j
J in elegance that Solomon, in !
all ids glory, could not create: The re
sults of the Avar left Columbus with her I
I residences long since rusty for the want j
I of paint, improvements much needed '
: and altogether an aspect of uncheerful-
! ness. To-day she presents herself one of j
the most beautiful ami lovely cities in
| the whole south. Her houses shine tin- 1
j der the new coatings they have received,
j and in taste and ornament they are
not excelled anywhere. Then, there
i were many vacant lots, ur lots
upon which stood insignificant
hovels, that are to-day adorned
with palatial residences. This great
transformation has been brought about
: by the indomitable energy and courage
ot her citizens, coupled with prudence,
caution and hard work, taking care of
what was earned and putting it to the
best use. The people of Columbus, as a
rule, are full of eagerness and zeal, quick
to perceive chances and ready tniinprn\-e
them, naturally fearless and intrepid.and
are not wanting in steadfast industry.
For this one we are indebted to the well
merited title the “ queen City of the
Chattahoochee” and the “ Lowell of the
South."
di still their sweetness oil the desert air.
As the husbandman only expect? good
fruit after the laborious process of plant
ing, pruning and grafting, so also may
parents, teachers and society at large only
expect useful growth and healthful de
velopment when tlii- idea of fruit-hear
ing lives: is engrafted deeply in the cur
riculum of popular education.
“Nothing hut leaves” and “wasted
lives’’ might appropriately be written i
upon the tombstones of the many win

right train. She never forgets to ask the
conductor if she has to change ears before
reaching tier destination, and if she is
sure of making a connection, and it the
train stops at the place where she Avants
to get oil. She never loses a ticket or train
cheek, never drops her hat out of the Avin
doAv, never permits herself to go to sleep
within one hundred miles of her destina
tion for fear that she may ride by, never
fails to get a Avhole seat for herself and an
other for her luggage, never Avalks from
one car to another unless the train is I
standing still and never gets up from her ,
seat to leave a train AVithout turning to
look and see if she has forgotten anything.

List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Co- '
I unibus, Ga., post office for the week ending June
26th. If not called for within thirty days will be
§e*ut to the Dead Letter Office:
VETOES.
Out of 310 bills passed by congress the
president has vetoed 94, making a little
over one-third the whole number. These
vetoes are nearly all of bills granting
pensions to persons who were not entitled
to them under the law and the rules of,
the pension office. They are now sent j nS r mi 9 c R °T
hack to the house where they originated
and unless passed by two-thirds they are
lost for the present session.
We will wait with great interest to see
what .the emdocrats in the senate and
house will do about it. They can pre
vent the passage of every one of them
and in our opinion ought to do so.
The president has had the courage to
condemn this wholesale business of grant
ing pensions in which congress has been
engaged, lie ought to he sustained
and the responsibility shared by his
party.
A New York stock exchange paper is exerting
itself to induce foreign holders of confederate I Haveiin/VSUH
bonds to disabuse their minds of the impression i Harris, R
that there is a chance to induce the United
States government to assume their payment.
When this laudable effort finishes itself in suc
cess, the next endeavor will be appropriately to
persuade the ex-eor federate soldiers that they
will not be put on the pension roll, and then it
might be considered in order to discuss the re
demption of the continental currency.

President Cleveland has made good use of
his veto. It is fortunate for the nation that it
has a man in the white house able and willing to
balk some at least of the raids on the treasury to
which the presence of a surplus is a standing
temptation.
Ouida, the famous writer of salacious novels, is
described as a woman of exemplary life wholly
devoted to her mother and a pet dog. A man is

I the liberty of giving the following extract from
it :

‘‘Instead of relying on the state school of tech

some of the public schools? Have an hour or
two a day devoted to mechanical pursuits. It
serves us a recreation for the boys and their pro
gress is remarkable. They are taught archi
tectural drawing, moulding, turning, working in
metal—almost everything; and boys from
ten to fifteen do work that would
surprise you. The principal expense would lie
the building of a work room contiguous to the
schools. The machinery is inexpensive. The
lathes, furnaces, anvils, &c., &c., are all small and
must cost very little. At first, the city would
have to hire a mechanic or two for nil hour a day,
or perhaps the foundry and factories, to
forward so benevolent a purpose, would give
the use of a hand for an hour a day to
instruct the boys in the use of machinery.
After the first year the school would furnish
its own instructors from among the pupils. In
the school that I visited I saw many boys of
twelve to fourteen who could teach as much as
boys would want to learn to make them desirable
and self-supporting as apprentices for a much
shorter term than they would otherwise require
in the foundry, factories and other mechanical
pursuits which must continue to multiply a;- the
city increases, and when mechanical knowledge
becomes recreative, for the hour given to this in
dustry is really a recreation to the boys. Ten
young men will learn mechanical pursuits wnere
one would do so if he had to go into a shop to be
apprenticed in the first place.”
Bathing in Warm Water.
The Sanitary World considers cleanli
ness not only essential to good health, but
also a mark of good breeding'. The work
man, by the clinging of dust to his per
spiring person, becomes a fit subject for
the bath-tub very frequently; too frequent
bathing, however, is weakening. It may
not be advisable to take a bath morning
and evening, as some medical journals ad
vise; but there should be a good washing
frequently enough to keep the person
clean. Warm baths will often prevent the
most virulent diseases. A person who may
