AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I What Tommy Shearman Buffered dur ing the Beecher trial may bo realized when Talmago Bay, that “a tear is agony in solution.” Th« richest Jews in New York are the metal dealers, Hondrioks Brothers, who are worth, it is said, $5,000,000. Pro- cions metals they deal in. Farm hundred sewing girls went in bathing at Coney Island Saturday, and two thousand people looked at them. The band played “Uollio Darling. Tbk American Board of Foreign Mis sions has received $20,000 less in dona tions this year than last, and appeals for money to save itself from “an embarrass ing debt.” Junes Duval, of the United Htatea Distriot Court, in Texas, has deolared un constitutional a Texas law in 1858, making it a ponal offense for a white person to marry a negro. Jean Baptiste Mabius, who recently oommitted suicide in New York, con cludes a letter to his lanlord thus: “Farewell, dear Mr. Didiet; I will just go and see what is going on in tbo other world i Ban Antonio (Texas) Herald: Captain K. King, of Banta Gertrudes, is making the slight addition of aixty-tbree miles to his pasture fenoe, inolosing altogether when completed 180,000 aoros, all fine pasture land. New Yobs boaata of an “Elite Diction ary." It contains the names of 28,000 persons who are “members of the first families”—that Is from an original Kniok- erbooker to tbe latest Bboddyito. All else is vulgarity. The Railway Ream understands Hint the Belgian Government baa given orders to tho Wostenliouae Air Brake Company to tbe extout of $80,000 for fitting tbe air brakes on the rolling stook of tbo Btate railways. A new way to make a railroad pay. Tbe oooupauts of 000 sbantiea along the lines of New York railroads make a living by planting eorn and potaloos between tbe rails and (ho fenooa. It is said that 0,000 sores are cultivated in this way. Tub city of Pittsburg has sevouty-throo glass faotorios, thirty-throe iron rolling mills, eigtht steel rolling mills; seven white lead faotorios, and twenty-nine oil refinorios. Tho coal mines tributary to that market number ono hundred end fifty eight. It is hardly possible to form an idea of tho ravages of the famine in India. The loss of life is placed at 800,000, and, in stead of decreasing, the suffering promi ses lo inoronso in intensity. An appeal is to bo roado to tbe pooplo of England, Bootlaml and Ireland. ltKrKivKH Ijauiienok's investigation into the American Popular Life Insurance Company shows that its condition wns much worse than was published nt tho time of its failure, and that wus bad enough. Its official reports were purely imaginative, and as is shown now, utterly untrue. Mr. Charles iteemelin, a polities! phi losopher of Ohio, says that both patty platforms sro on jaokserows—yon oau hoist them up or lowor I hem to suit any demand. He aaya : “I think tbat the party that baa (he most lazy voters will lose, and this year I ora iuolinod to think that that parly ia the Uepnblican." Conoukhhman Clxmkii, in lieroka coun ty, Pa., Demooratio Convention, after de nouncing the Electoral Commission aud branding President Hayes as “the fraud ulent President," said, “Bat wo asnuot afford to oppose the just measures of Mr. llayes. Wo must riBe above partisanship and support him in whatever he doeB that is constitutional and right. We must not counsel-disorder or violation of law." Tmt Washington oorroapondont of tbo Herald says Hayes' eyes are beginning to be opened to the foot that the invita tions he has received to visit the Bonth couie mostly from small beer politicians and hotel keepers who wish to advertise their houses, and tbat ho doesn't feel ao set np as he did. If he bad known tbe Bontberu people a little better, he would never have made the mistake of suppos ing that tbe real South felt any Bpooial desire lo see him. Captain Howoatx has a ourious theory about Arctio exploration. Bailors, bo thinks, will always cling to their vessel, and will make no progress unless it can be done by water. It ia for this reason that he ia in love with the plan proposed by himself of establishing colonies and what he calls laying regular siege to the North Pole. But, if his other theory be oorreot, that the Polar regions are constantly changing, ice fields oue season being open ooeau the next, his ooloniea will probably get to tho Pole the wrong way. Btill hia plan may be worth a trial. TUB SITUATION ON TUB BIO UIAMDE. It is entirely nnsaUsfsotory. Mexicans are continually promising and as often break tbeir pledges. President Diaz is too uncertain in regard to his position at tbe head of tbe land of revolutions for him lo attempt to oontrol the lawless spirits whose love for adventure and rob bery elevated him to tbe place he now oc- copies. Borne enterprising soldier of for tune may displace him in a few months. He pretends great friendship for Ihe Uni ted Btates, bnt his plundering gangs con tinue to steal and mnrder. They follow the example of tbe chief, for hia own foroed loana were nothing bnt one vast exercise of might over right. The booty bo employed to pay hia own hungry horde, who were following a reckless gambler for power. He baa sent a re tired General, Benevidea, to tbe Bio Grande to examine into affairs and report the best mode of preventing these inonr- sions of bandit Mexicans into Texas. While he ia doing Ibis a predatory crowd from Camargo cross the river, shoot a judge and jailor in Bio Grande City, take two noted sooundrols from tbe jail and carry them to Diaz's dominions. Now, we oan jndge whether the Mexiosn authorities are not in league with these highwaymen and eonnive at the lawless aots which tbe “greasers" have been per petrating on unarmed, bard-working Texans. The Governor of Texas at onoe made a demand on the Governor of Tamanlipns for tbe escaped prisoners and tbe men wbo attacked tbe jail. Gen. Ord bad an interview with the Mexican Gen eral Trevino and warned him that if tbe oivil authorities do not promptly surren der those parties, onr Government must believe there is a Hympatby and commu nity of interests with tbe gang and those rulers,and effoolive measures will be taken to protect American oitizens, and execute tbe laws. A ferryman wbo brought over tbo banditti has been arreatod in Camargo. Wo vory rnuob doubt whether tbe obiefa of tho porpetratora of tbia great outruge will be oapturod. Their brethren will hide thorn away, and Mexican civil oflloers are not celebrated for tbeir oliaorvanoe of any law from which they cannot fill their own pockotH. Tho aituation in (hut quarter is certain ly not presenting tbat aspeot of peaoefnl- uohh wbiob should reign. Mexioaus will never learn to behave tkouiHolves until they are again thoroughly whipped, and a superior race rules tbo oouutry. A war with Mexico would quickly solve Ibe la bor question. Volunteers oonld be ob tained by tbe thousands from every part of tbe oonntry. It will be better for Mexico aud tbe world when tbe Anglo- Baxon takes possession of tbe land of wLieh tho Aztooa were robbed. In tbe lest few days, sinoo tbe Bio Grande City affair Ibe Mexican thieves have driven ono hundred nnd fifty head of oattlo across the rivor. Mexican foraos are accumulating at Camargo. Will they dare fight the American troops when thoy arose to regain American property ? If ao and war onsiioa tbe in telligence will be greeted with oheorB by thouBauda of tbe unemployed. Bnoh a war would bo enormously popular in many sections. PIHILIIU IHEIUlIrS. Every city, wbiob is not a eompoting point, is vitally iutorosted in tho pool which tbo llailroad and Bteamship Asso ciation ia trying to establish. Tbe de sign is not to inorosso rates exolnsively. Tho objoot ia to advanoo them at some planes and lower them at others, to give Ihe railroad oompanies a ehnnoe to live, and that thoro may bo no unjust discrim inations. Let us taka Montgomery for instance. There are sovoral competing linen. All the companies ngreo to divide tho business of tbe town, based upon tbe aotual eost of tounage to tbe lipo. They dooide upon bow tuuoh each is entitled, tbe shortest, eafost and moat expeditions taking tbo lion's sbnro. Bay, for illnstra' tion,at Montgomery tbo Central Bailroad be adjudged 40 per cent., tbe Georgia 40 per oout. and tbo B. ft N. and M. it M. 10 per cent. eaoh. Now all (bo cotton may be oarried by tbo Central Line; the others do not try to got it, but tbe Central must pay whou tbo proper time arrives tbe quota in money which rightly belongs to tbe othor companies in the pool. By lliis arrangement tbe competing rates are advanced to liviug ones. By this also interior points, where there is only one line, have some showiug at tbe trade of tbo country contiguous to them. An Uustratiou will suthuo to explain. Sever al years ago, when fighting other lines, Ibe Central road took ootton from Mont gomery to Savannah for a nominal sum or nothing; while uinety cents a hundred pounds wore oharged from Columbus wbiob is ninety five miles near er tbe port. As a oonseqneuoe, Mont gomery oould pay that tuuoh more for tbe staple aud sell goods much cheaper than Columbus; and of course attract rnuob of tbo bnainesa w hich naturally belonged to out oily. By tbe pooling process, how ever, the tariffs of tbe two plaoea ean bo placed on a parity, nnd the two compete on nearly equal terms. We think tbe policy wo allude to as having beou in vogue a few years sinoe was ruinous to all engaged,and none have reoovered from tho effects. It does not make bo mnob difference as to wbnt freights are paid as it does to invidious and arbitrary dia- oriiuiuationa. By the plau adopted Geor gia towns were being depressed and those of Alabama enhanced, while the railroad oompanies were being bankrupted. It was bard eveu on tbe oompeting points, for merohants were always uncertain aa to tbo oharges of transportation. If pool ing cau bo conducted in good faitb aud on equitable terms, tbe business of tbe oountry will be far better equalized, and each town enjoy a chance at prosperity, while the railroads may earn a dividend for stockholders and add to the material wealth of the Btates. The Bupremo Conrt of tho United States has decided that the Legislatures {ng of ratal, if a plan of equality to all place* ba adopted, and proportioned fairly and tbe agreement be honorably ob served ia something to be desired. When thorongbiy effeoted the panacea of many evils will have been discovered. WHAT WILL BE DONE 7 Tbe Attorney General of Georgia has decided tbat the Treasurer cannot pay more than $25,000 to the Constitutional Convention, and that sum has already been exhausted. Oar impression was that the Convention was a superior body to the Legialatnre, and had a legal right to abolish tbe offloe of Attorney General if the body eboae. We have an idea, too, that we have men in the Georgia Conven tion far superior in mental and legal abil ity to onr Attorney General, and we do not suppose bis deeision will have mnoh weight. It certainly appears strange that a body with tbe power to obange tbe Legislature and other offi cers should be controlled in its expendi ture of money for its own existence by the view the Attorney General entertains of an aot of the Legialatnre. It really would appear tbat the oreatnre was supe rior to the creator. The people voted to hold a Convention and ejected the mem bers. The Attorney General was appoint ed by tbe Governor; yet he telle the Treasurer he has no power to pay them money beyond a stipu lated sum that a lower body provided. Bo it seems tbe Convention is less than either the appointees or tbe Legislature. Looks absurd, does it not? Wbat powers have the people according to this opinion ? Tbe Convention is goiug slow, but in most oases it has been snre. Aooording lo Ibe Attorney General it has less power than the Treasurer, if the latter is to ha governed by tbe former. Georgia wants tbe work perfodled while tbe Convention is in session. What will tho Convention do abont it? A Terrible Piotube.—Harper’s last Weekly presents a powerful illustration against the lawless elements of a strike, or tbe effects wbiob result from the license of nnbridled passion. A fireman ia sit ting in the doorway of his eottage, watch- ing the smoking mins of an immense de pot. His bend is raised to his forehead, and he is the personification of dospair. Hia foot rests on a broken oar wheel. A dead ohild is lying on the ground near by with a wolf standing over the baby. Through a window sadly looks an emaoia- ted wife with a starving babe in her arms. The pietnre ia a ead one, and the story is eloquently told. There is the truth in thousands of instanoes in all its appalling charaoteriatios before tho eyes. The long silenoe of Keely, the new motor man, is at last explained. He has been engaged for over a year in the oon- atruotion of a machine weighing twenty tons, and ooating $80,000, to generate the new force be oiaims to have discovered. The “Keely Motor Company" seem to have oonfldenoe in tbo importance of the diBoovery, and invite scientists to oomo and make every lest they oan think of. Cold water and air are tbe only elements need to generate this mysterious foroe. If Mr. Kuely will kindly show hia discov ery oan be pnt to praotioal use he will indeod prove himself a publio benefactor. The Tribune never mentioned tbe Goald-Belover enooauter.
