The coinage of the silver dollar in

they were to be forced into circulation
they would soon pass for just what they
are worth, which at the present time is
eighty-four eents on the dollar.

The State of Georgia is urged, as an
“important practical work,” to spend
$5,000 forthwith to resupply some of the
counties with the standard weights and
measures which have been destroyed liv
tire or otherwise, and to complete broken
sets in others. It would lie an imiiortant
practical work for the state to require
the county authorities to take care of the
costly weights and measures furnished
by the State from time to time, as a mat
ter of economy to lessen taxation on the
people.
Th<* Tallahassee Kconomiat explains

“Gen. (iordon finds that there are no pule

of his company for 1*,540 acres per mile.
She will simply do nothin;' at all. The
laws were so constructed as to give the
lands to the roads first built, and “first
come first served,” is the policy. The
State granted lands “not otherwise a|>-
propriated,” but did not guarantee an
acre. Gen. Gordon knew this very well,
and so do all the other companies accept
ing such grants.
The Chicago //> rnld has settled the
question of Tilder"s health to its own

remained a week, saw .Mr. Tilden fre
quently, and conversed with various citi
zens w"ho had lately met him. He asserts
that the old gentleman is enjoying excel
lent health and in the best of spirits.
This report creates the impression that

The Deadhead System.
A prominent member of Congress is
quoted as saying, in IVashington a tew ;
days ago. that he intended soon after ,
Congress met to introduce a bill making i
it a misdemeanor for any member to ae- ■
cept from a telegraph company deadhead !
stamps. This member knows, as almost !
everybody who frequents the national ,
capital knows, that a very large number j
—perhaps two-thirds—of the members of
Congress never pay a cent of telegraph j
tolls. They send and receive j
a large number of messages 1
tn the course of a year, but their purses j
are not any lighter on that account. Some j
jf them send dispatches to constituents
all over their districts, inquiring about one
thing and another, for the purpose of cre
ating the impression that they are deeply
interested in the affairs of their districts.
Their innocent constituents, of course,
entertain the idea that they are extreme- j
ly liberal with tbeir money. During the
overflow in the Mississippi valley last
year some of the members from that
locality must have used up a
iozen or more deadhead stamp-books,
ine of tbeir object s was to bring them
selves prominently before the people of
their districts, and they succeeded. They
l ight, however, to have had the frankness
to acknowledge that they did it at the
f*xiense of the telegraph companies. No
doubt the companies are just as
lib-ral with members of State leg
islatures. Judges of courts, and
prominent government officials. Bail
road companies are as free with their
passes a- the telegraph companies are
with their stamps. They scatter them
wherever they are liable to be
productive of benefits. Chairmen of
railroad committees of legislative
bodies can get passes for all their
relations and friends over roads whose
interests are liable to be affected by meas
ures coming before their committees. A
Chairman of a Kailway Committee of
Congress could easily double his salary
if he were small enough to sell free
pass. - which are furnished him for the
asking. Does anylsKly suppose that
the railway and telegraph com
panies distribute their favors
-a widely and freely without any hope of
a return? >f course not. They are pre
paring for the time when they may have
favors to ask. They are putting those
who have the power to protect or injure
tle-ir interests under obligations to them.
It is all folly to say that a man who
has been riding on free passes
or deadheading his telegrams for years
can act a- freely in matters affecting the
railway and telegraph corporations as if
lo- had not enjoyed these favors. He
feels towards the corjiorations as
he does towards a man at whose
house lie has enjoyed an excel
lent dinner. Free railway passes and
free telegraph stamps are indirect and
delicate bribes. They seem to le little
things in themselves, and the majority of
those who enjoy them, perhaps, do not
give mm h thought to the question of right
or wrong in accepting them. They are
evil- which are pregnant with wrong and
scandal. Tin- sooner laws are passed by
Mate L'-gislatures and by Congress mak
ing it an offense for their mem tiers and for
state and Federal officials to accept
favors from railway, telegraph and ex
pr* -s companies, the better it will be for
the country. The next Congress can pa
no better law than one that will strike a
death-blow at the deadhead practice.
Pros|M-rii.v •>!' Southern liailroails.
According to the Financuil < 'hnmirlf
all the southern railroads have done
better this year than last in spite of the
falling off in the crops and the depression
in business circles over the heavy failures
which have taken place. The Chesapeake
and <Hiio reports its increase for July at
ti per cent., while the Elizabethtown, Lex
ington and Big Sandy reports a gain of
ov* rl5 per cent. The Southern division
of the Illinoi- Central, the Mobile and
Ohio, the Louisville and Nashville, all
have decided gains. The* Fast Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia reports an increase
of 30 i>er cent, in earnings, with an in
crease in mileage of nearly as much,
while the Richmond and Danville lin* s
all show large gains. The Southwestern
roads, notably the Iron Mountain, Texas
and Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
and Gulf, Colorado and Santa Ee, all
made liberal gains.
Thi- result is gratifying to the business
interests of the country, and indicates
that the great expansion of trade and new
enterprises during the past twelve months
have I .cell founded on a solid basis —that
of the capacity and needs ol the country
rather than mere speculation ujs.n the
inflated condition of stocks.
Mr. Blackburn, our corresjiondeiit who
writes from Grayson, Ky.. feels that Gov.
Blackburn's use of the pardoning power
has been unjustly criticised. It is not
probable that any one will deny that Gov.
Blackburn has acted conscientiously
in every instance in which he has par
doned a convict. The question is, how
ever. whether he has not exercised his
power too freely for the good of the
state. He is tender-hearted and his
feelings have induced him to mercy
when, perhaps, he ought to have con
sidered only justice. Of course
he has had j>etitions in behalf of every
’ convict he has pardoned, and no doubt he
has had petitions which he has refused;
but it is not difficult to get men, and even
Judges and jurors, to sign petitions when
there is no responsibility resting upon
; them. The numlier of Governor Black
burn’s pardons has attracted attention to
him. Without knowing the facts,
it is. perhaps, safe to state that no other
Governor of Kentucky ever granted half
so many pardons. I>id other Governors
refuse pardons w hen they ought to have
been granted, or has Governor Blackburn
granted pardons when they ought to have
been refused? It is assumed that no
stronger reasons tor pardons exist, since
Governor Blackburn came into office,
than existed l*cfore bis term of office
began.
A correspondent of the Chicago AV irs
tries to belittle Holman, the Sun's cadi
candidate for President, by describing
him as a “slouched-hat tobacco chewer,
who talks nothing but j>olitics, is narrow
and provincial, knows little of the world,
is easily imposed upon, and whose ideas
of the wants of the country are based
upon the standard of an Indiana dis
trict.” Holman isn’t a handsome man, it
is true, but he is an honest man. and that
is more than can be said of all of those
who aspire to the Presidency. He chews
tobacco and doesn't dress like a dude,
but neither of these things are against
him. He is a man of more than average
ability, and has been in Congress a
good many years—long enough in fact, to
become thoroughly acquainted with the
whole machinery of government and with
all the imi<ortant questions in which the
people are interested. It is folly to say
that the ideas of a man of so much ex
perienee are based upon the standard of a
Congressional district, Holman has very
little chance of l>eiug nominated for Pres
dent. but there are few men whose nomina
tion would le received with greater satis
faction.
The question whether Butler is a candi
date for re-election to the office of Gover
nor excites almost as much attention in
Massachusetts as the question whether
Tilden is a Presidential candidate excites
throughout the country. Butler, in his
inaugural address, said positively that ho
would not again lie a Gubernatorial can
didate, and he has on several occasions
repeated that declaration. It is alleged
that he fears that the story that the Re
publicans intend to raise l $1,000,000 to beat
him is true. It is said he thinks money
can leat him. and that if he is beaten he
will stand no chance of getting the Presi
dent nomination. Butler is a shrewd
politician and ought to know, if he does
not. that he has not the ghost ot a chance
of getting the Democratic nomination for
President. Even if he suoe* eded in get
ting the support of the North, the South
would never consent to accept him. Mr.
Butler can accept the Massachusetts
Gubernatorial nomination without any
fear that the result, whatever it may be,
will affect in any way bis Presidential
aspirations.
Nothing has been heard from Internal
Revenue Commissioner Evans lately.
Has he discovered that be apjsjars to bet

CURRENT COMMENT.
An Explanation Needed.
Cleveland IHain-Dtaltr (Bern.).
The days come and go. but we do not
hear any'explanation about how the civil
service reform came to reform the late
President Garfield's brother-in-law out of
the Cleveland post office and reform a
stalwart in. We do nut know how this
is.
National Bankrupt Law.
Philadelphia Press Pep.
Business men are beginning to move in
the matter of a national bankrupt law.
An effort will be made to adjust the dif
ferences as to the form of the bill, so that
Congress will not be divided as it was at
the last session by two conflicting meas
ures. each having a strong backing in
business circles.
A Prevailing Disposition.
51. Louie Glohe-Hemocrat Rep. .
Some over-sensitive people will doubt
less object to the proDosal to have the
head of Andrew Johnson ornament the
new 4-eent stamp. But this suggestion
will strike most men as entirely proper.
The bitterness engendered by reconstruc
tion is passing away, and the disposition
to credit Mr. Johnson with patriotic mo
tives. even if not with good judgment,
prevails more and more widely every
year.
Advice to Cuban-.
Courier Journal Dent.!.
We advise belligerent Cubans in th**
United States, who eannot curb their mil
itary ardor, to go to the Colon district and
help their brethren, who need everything
sympathy can give—but there is little
doubt that the new revolt will lie fruitless,
and if they do not want to suffer humilia
tion theyhad better stay on this side of
the Gulf. They may take comfort in the
thought that, doubtless,some day the w un
derfill island will De an annex to the
United States.
Flagrant Corruption Cannot be Hid.
SatthTitle American l Hern.).
One of the “rascals” from Tennessee,
who does not like the idea of lieing “turned
out," is writing anonymously to the Cin
cinnati Commercial-Gazette a collection of
old scrai-t-Kik extracts troin letters of
prominent secessionists in 1861. The
“bloodv-shirt” may cover a multitude of
Republican sins, but it cannot quite hide
the flagrant corruptions of the past fifteen
years that niaki* it necessary to “turn the
rascals out." The grand old party must
go.
Not for Arthur.
Providence Pret Reji. .
The Republican party in this country
did not nominate General Arthur for the
Presidency—he was almost the last man
who would have lieen selected. Raised
i to the high office bv Guiteau’s bullet, he
lias agreeably disappointed bis friends
j and opponents alike. But he will never
i tie re-elected—nor renominated—and the
I lioom in his favor will not amount to any
! thing. The Republican candidate next
i year will be a much stronger man than
| Arthur.
.\ I*ertiii*nt Question.
U+rttld Ind.j .
If the tax-payers of this country are
really anxious, as Senator Allison seems
to think they are. to reward the Republi
can party for appropriating s2ug.Uoo,ooo
for pensions in one Congressional term,
we have no doubt the Democrats would
lie willing to compete for tbeir favor by
promising to spend $302.000,<)0u. This, of
course, is on the assumption that the peo
ple reallv love to pay taxes. But what
has become ol the notion that economy i
both proper and popular in a government ?
Has that grown antiquated, like honesty,
fair dealing and the rest of the homely
virtues?
An fnnecessary Duke.
Sew }’.ri Times [Rep. .
This endless talk about the debts of the
! Duke of Teek and his fat w ife, Mary,
1 must throw the “howling Radicals,” ol
England into a tine rage. And they are
not to lie blamed for raging for the Teek
| section ni the reigning family is about the
i most irritating specimen of royal blood
| and noble that an effete monarchy could
produce. He and his wife, who t? a cousin
of the (jueen. receive si'i,ooo a year troin
the public funds, and the Queen sutlers
them to use a couple of her spare palaces.
But even with these advantages, the im
provident pair are continually making a
public scandal about their debts. The
Duke gambles heavily, and, lieing a dull
clod, always loses, of course. Their royal
kin have paid up their debts many time-,
but the recent auction sale ot their effects
indicates a disjiosition to let them shilt
for themselves in the future. What a
pitching out ot all such lumber there will
l*e in England some of these days when
the common sense ol the people asserts
itself!

2,500 miles, reach the Gulf of Mexico.

A gkxtlkmax who lately had business
in the General Land Office at San Fran

“Usual.” This was thought to Ik* a joke
by the Register, but the gentleman gave
this explanation of how he happened to

It is reported that a firm in Paris has
patented an invention for the instanta

he used at once in the cylinder of the en.

' which are heated, and between which
there is only capillary space. The liquid,
spreading into a thin layer, evaporates
instantly without going into the so-called
spheroidal state, and the steam acts in the
, cylinder as fresh formed steam. The
speed of the pump is regulated by the en
gine.
The Dutch are excessively angry be

GOV. BLACKBCRN DEFENDED.
The Cost of the Ashland Trials and
Other Literary Knick-Knacks from
Kentucky.
Corrmpondenc* of th* Morning 3 *\c*.
Grayson, Ky., August 17.—1 have
always noted with regret how illiberal
some correspondents are when criti
cising the official acts of those to whom
they are in no wise partially in
clined. This certainiv very disreputable
characteristic was never more manifest
than in the conduct of those correspond
ents who are continually abusing Gov.
Blackburn, of this State, for his exercise
of the pardoning power. Had these cor
respondents been in the least inclined to
deal fairly with Gov. Blackburn's exer
cise of the pardoning power, vested in him
by the constitution and laws of this com
monwealth, I am quite certain that their
criticism had lieen shorn ot much of its
cruelty. I have had occasion to refer to
this matter once before, and again notice
it onlv to boldlv assert that in every in
stance where Gov. Blackburn has par
doned a convict from the Kentucky State
prison he was governed by either petitions
from the very best men of the counties
where the felons were convicted, or hon
estly believing that disease had already
singled them out for death's harvest, and
their days of freedom were but few. No
one will deny Governor Blackburn’s ca
pacity for favoring a correct prognosis of
these oases. A recent article in the
Morning News intimates that since Dr.
Talmage has lieen a guest of the Gov
ernor, that he would turn the penitentiary
inside out. The writer of such unjust re
marks does not know Governor Black
burn. He is not the man to lie influenced
by sickly philanthropy. He has the
nerve to do what his conscience approves,
and all the Dr. Talmages of earth could
neither influence him to do what he did
not approve, nor deter him from doing
that which bis judgment commends. With
all of this moral courage, his heart is as
tender as that of a child, and this tender
ness has loci those who did not know him
to Intimate that he could be easily influ
enced to pardon convicts by the pathetic
appeals of those interested in their pardon.
But Governor * Blackburn’s adminis
tration is on the wane, and in
a short time he will retire to the quietude
of private life, where he will never lie
mortified by the unkind criticisms of those
who do not’like him. He can well afford
to submit his official acts as Governor of
Kentucky to the future historian, confi
dent that time, the corrector of every
wrong, and the great palliator tor the pres
ent injustice done him. will vindicate him
in the exercise of executive clemency
during his term as Governor of Kentucky.
Asa relation of Governor Blackburn *1
i cannot pass these cruel criticisms of his
administration by unnoticed.
Neal’s ease was continued until the
next term of the Circuit Court in Febru
j ary next. I am. therefore, denied the
writing up of the case for the News. It
is these vexatious delays in the enforce
ment of our criminal laws that excites
an outraged people to mob violence to
the disgrace of our country. Other
, people do not stop to inquire into
the facts attending continuances of
our criminal cases, but content them
selves in attributing the same to an in
diflerence of the courts to the disposition
of cases submitted to them, which, I con
less, obtains too often for the country’s
good. In this cast;, however, the inability
of the prosecuting attorney to have the
Commonwealth's most material witnesses
on band was the cause of continuance.
He has sued out attachments for each de
faulting witness, and will have them or
“blood money” at the February term of
Carter Circuit Court. To give the readers
of the News some idea of the enormous
expense attending the trial of these Ash
land murderers, 1 will remark that over
three hundred witnesses have been sub
pn naed. They have been compelled to
come from Boyd county to Carter county
already twice since the cases have beeii
changed bv venue, and only one of
the murderers, Craft, as yet convicted.
He is in Lexington jail, and will not
be executed until the Appellate Court
! has given legal notice of its affirmation of
the judgment of the Circuit Court. As
this body will not meet until September,
Governor-elect Knott will fix the day. uti
! less Governor Blackburn should either
pardon the wretch or commute his sen
tence to life imprisonment, which is not
probable.
Since writing my last letter abundant

i ent. 1 must congratulate the Legislature
' upon dismissing th<* suits against the
lessees of the state Road, a suit which
should never have been attempted. I am
t ot surprised at the fate which will proba
bly atteud the local option bill now pending
before the Legislature, which has been
prophetically stated by “Chatham,” the
gifted Atlanta correspondent of the
News, than whom there is not a more
versatile and interesting writer connected
with the Georgia press.
I presume President Arthur greatly < n
ijoys his sojourn in the Northwest. It is
I not often tliat the care-worn, encumbered
' chief of the “best government the world
ever knew” is permitted to wander off be
yond civilization and commune with na
ture in its primal state. His trip to the.
Yellowstone is therefore a picnic, as is
but seldom enjoyed by a President. There
he experiences anew sensation, absolute
exemption from office seekers, and the
blessings of his louanrijuitiou from official
labor can descend upon him as gen
erously and gently as the dews of heaven.
He is subject to no whim or caprice save
his own, and is as free as the mountain
breeze that fans his cheeks. I hope his
untamed subjects of the Western wild
will permit him to return to Wash
ington without having experienced the
annoyance Of a surprise party or a scalp
ing bet*.
I see that Philadelphia has had inaug
urated w ithin its limits two female base
ball clubs, who propose giving public ex
hibitions of their agility, for a quid pro
quo of course, in the" principal cities
North and West. Girls are by nature
“good catchers,” and are very fond of the
“diamond,” but I regret ts see
them put to such “base”
uses. I ean assure them
that, although they hail from the “City of
Brotherly Love,” should they have the
temerity’to visit our Southern cities they
will be severely “put out.” Our Southern
girls, although very fond of diamonds
without a flaw, are not sufficiently tnas
culined to imitate those females of the
North who imbibe every issue of the day.
I give the readers of the News a simple
rule to ascertain the number of feet in a
log, that I have picked up since I came to
Kentucky, which is as accurate as any
measurement. It is as follows; Multiply
the diameter in inches by one-half the di
ameter; multiply the "product by the
length of the log in leet, and divide the
product thus obtained by 8, and the nuin
l>er of feet is ascertained. Lumbermen
will do well to paste this rule in their hats
and thereby never forget it.
But through fear of grow ing too practi
cal for a newspaper correspondent, I will
close. More anon.
