Wa are afraid that fjfnnlftf Gordon ii in tfr** Ton Damoerata oarried the municipal election in Mobil*, on Monday, by a ma jority whioh cannot be reveraed by a trieky oourt, or aat aeide by a Cbaneary decree. A apacial to the Montgomery Adeertieer aaya that the majority ot Al- pbonaa Hurtel, and the regular ticket, over J. M. Wither*, and the Independent tioket, ia not laae than 1,800. Taa Radical majority in Oongresa per- aiatin voting down propowd investiga tion* into the oonduotof Federal offloiale. On Monday, Gen. Young, of Georgia, tried to have Maj. MerrelPa conduct in Boath Carolina and Louiriana ihvaati- gatad, bat the House soouted the idea of sueh a thing. Mr. Bromberg, of Ala bama, on the same day, triad to have an investigation of the alleged interference of Federal ofllciala to protect the safe burglars. But the House refused jo inves tigate, by a vote of 74 to 81. Perhaps it will not b* too lata for these investiga tions next winter. A tabu recently prepared from olBoial statamant* for 1873 and 1874 gives th* taxable valuations and the rataa of Btat* taxation in the several Stated. The rates vary all the way from 10 oenta on the $100 in Connecticut, to the enormous sum of $3 13 on the $100 in Louisiana. The rate ia 50 oenta in Alabama, Arkansas, Cal ifornia, Maine, Minnesota, Texas and Vir ginia ; 40 oenta in Georgia, Kansas, Ohio and Tennessee; 70 oenta in Florida; 34 cants in Illinois; 15 oenta in Indiana; 17 oanta in Maryland; 22 cents in Miohigan; $1 13j in Nevada; 72j oenta in New York; 15 oenta in Oregon; 20 cent* in Rhode Island, and 70 cents in South Car olina. Tax Maoon paper* note the meeting of a Urge number of prominent Bontbern railroad men in their city on Monday, rep recanting two hundred millions of dollars of railroad capital. The Central Railroad and its several branches, the Western and Atlantic, the Atlanta Air-Une, and a num bar of important railroads in Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and other States, were represented. Th* Telegraph aays: “Hia objeot of the oonfereuo* was to devise mesne to rectify the evils grow ing out of the underbidding for freight by oompating line*. W* understand that th* masting was entirely harmonious, and that a division of business was agreed upon, also uniform freight tariffs. The meeting is liksly to remit beneficially to th* roads and to th* publio." On Monday the Louisiana Returning Board deolared another Radical Senator alaotad, contrary to the known vote of th* people of the District, oomprising the parishes of.De8oto, Bed River and Natehitoohaa. It also oounted in a Rad ical Representative from St. Tammany, instead of tha Democrat who wm dearly alec tad. When it finished its labor* Mon day evening, it had deolared th* election of 47 Damoeretic and 38 Radical Repre sentatives. The parishes yet to be passed upon eleoted 19 Damoerata and 5 Radi oala, but a quibble ha* been raised aa to aaeh, and there is no telling how the Board will count them. AB A PARTY MEASURE. Our apprehension that tha new Finan cial aoheme agreed upon by a Congres sional oommittee wa* only intended as a common “platform” for the Republican party, is shown to have been oorrect by tha vote of tha Senate. Every Repnbli- oan Senator supported it, and every Dam ocratio Senator opposed it, without re gard to aaotion or previous committal up on this subject. When we oonsider bow vary inharmonious parti** ware on thU question six months ago, whan every feature ot the new aoheme was before Congress and th* oountry for oonaidera- tion and nation, we are foroibly aduon iahad of the superior power of party over prinoiple and conviction. It is no doubt true that aom* Democrats, in now op- paring tha main faatuna of this schema, .re a* inconsistent a* tha majority ot tha Kapublieana are in supporting it. But their opposition fiuds coma palliation in tha known (not that this sohama is not a ionajlde plan tor th* attainment of it* laoribla objaat, that its manna at* inade quate (o th« aoeomptlshmeat of its pro fessed ends, and that it has baan agreed upua just a* party platform* era agreed upoo In national nominating and In wif—aa tka oohariv* party tot a TraridenUal election. It in orriy this, aad nothing Th* Washington HjpuNleem ot Monday, —“‘-‘-g th* notion of th* Republican oausna which agraad apes this nehama, states It* provisions Joat aboat aa they have bean given us by telegraph. Its re port ia a Httla mors explicit a* to the ac cumulation of gold to be used on the 1st day of January, 1879, in tha redemption of legal tenders, and the bond* author- lead to be sold if n******ry to raise more gold. It Is th* “surplus" of gold in th* Treasury on that day that is to be used, and th* Hsoratary i* empowered to sail “any bonds of the United States now autborisad" to procure more gold if need ed. No provision for th* accumulation of gold before 1879 is yst reported, nor any for tbs increase of revenue. Hole tha Treasury is than to b* ia a batter condition to raanm* than it now is, doas not yal appear. It eonld now sail th* bonds, aad it cuuld now apply the “sur plus. ” Tha preparation for th* resump tion sgreed upon is what ia wanting in tha scheme. But th* HepuNtean aaid on Monday that it would undoubtedly pa-a th* Bansta, and this prediction baa already been verified. It also had aasnranoe* that th* House would conoar, and ia no doubt correct in this too. It declare* that “th* Republican who doas not aocept it, or rather th* Mans in it, should b* notified to laava th* party immediately”—a throat suflioiant in ltaalf to warrant us ia pro nouncing this Financial sehams a mere party platform, oouslrueted to maintain a party organisation and not in any wall- grounded belief that it will raliava th* country of its flnsnoial troubles. “ERNIGBITY ABB BO *1." An artlol* from tha Mason Telegraph nndar this head, saams to sail for some notio* from ns, avers* as wa are to the discussion of personal matters in a news paper. We faal oalled upon to notice it, if only to diaolaim the arrogano* of wi*. dom and experience' superior to that of tha senior of th* Telegraph, who certainly well marits th* appellation of “Nestor of the Georgia Praas,” whether ha b* tha oldest editor in th* Btat* or not. Tha ti tle ao wall baeomas him, that we Insist on his westing th* blushing honor with be fitting grass. We might acquiaae* in the distinction of seniority, as raapaets age and aarrioe, wars it not that brother Oliaby makes un fortunate reference to dates, whioh, like old documents, are dangerous things. At the time which h* mentions as th* com mencement of bis editorial oaraar, w* were a hard-working apprentice in a North Oarolina printing ofllca, and in our subsequent experience as ao editor w* have found no relaxation of th* hard la bor incident to our early training. In only on* thing can w* truthfully claim any advantage of our Maoon friend, and that ia in th* unbroken ooatinuity of our service in tbs “pram gang." He has had five years of relaxation, while all of ours would not amount to eighteen months, tbrowiog in every Christmas, Thanksgiving and Fourth of July. It used to be a remark of the lamented Horace Graeley, that he had been trying for thirty years to grin a day in which he oould go fishing. In Ilk* manner w* have been toiling for over thirty years to put ourself in a position (bat would allow our retirement from tha oonflnlng, tread-mill Ufa of tbs editorial room. It has been the hoight of our ambition to give up this harassing mental labor and substitute for it soma occupation giving more bodily exaroiaa. That long-deferred consumma tion is not puffs within our reach yet, but we will “live in hop* if we die in despair.” As brother Gliaby says, all of us are old enough to set good examples, and wa ought to do it, by tha anoouragement of whatever is patriotic and unselfish in pub lio, and whatever is generous and nobla in private life. The press of the oountry is aa “estate" too important and influ antial to permit its prostitution to un- worthy ends or selfish purposes. W* cannot all ba Nestors or Greeleya, but we may all do muoh to make tha press wbat it should aver ba—“liberty's legis and -W* coral that ad Tommy Cloud,! Iff ■hUhah'o bar room, Iasi Frtdap night.
