Pennsylvania is talking about fol lowing Georgia’s example by calling a road congress. Pennsylvania would do well to follow Georgia in some other things: for instance, in her rousing democratic majorities. And now Mr- Blaine says we must have Cuba. Probably Spain will have something to say about this. Blaine would not hesitate to involve the country in trouble to gratify bis personal ambition. According to the new law govern ing Jacksonville, which goes into effect next month, the maximum of the Mayor’s salary is fixed at $25 per month. This salary hardly com ports with the dignity and importance of the office. — And now the German steamer, Augusta Victoria, has beat the time of the City of Paris, making the quickest trip ever made across the Atlantic. The City of Paris recently bent all previous records by more ■ than two flours. The German steam er, allowing for Joss of time, made it in five days, twenty-two hours and thirty minutes. Mrs. Harrison wauts more room in the white house. A few days ago she discovered several rooms in the garret, which were filled with old books, documents, patent office re ports, Congressional Records, etc. She consulted.her husband and found that the stuff was of no value. A junk dealer was called in and made a bar gain for the worthless collection. The servants of the v hite house have been busy for several davs carrying the books and papers down stairs. By this circumstance Mrs. Harrison has at her disposal several large rooms which may be made to serve a very useful purpose. There are now in the United States about 157,000 miles of railroad, and the Railway Age of Chicago estimates that the country will eventually, and at no distant day, maintain five times as much. Massachusetts has more miles of railway to area than any other state, the proportion being one mile to every four square miles of territory. The Age thinks that this is not the limit of nrofitable railway construc tion, but that it will proceed indefi nitely in all the states. While the Georgia editors are get ting ready for a trip through the West the Ohio editors are starting ou a tour of the south. The Ohio Editorial Association started from Cincinnati Friday to visit numerous points of interest in the south. Their route will lie through Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama a,pd Georgia. Reports of the rapid development of these states have attracted the Buckeye newspaper men, and we nre confident that when they have seen for themselves they will be ready to adopt the historic words of Sheba’s queen after her inter view with Solomon. Was Bishop Dead. It is now claimed by the wife aud mother of Bishop that the wonderful mind reader was not d tad, hut in a trance, when' the autopsy was per formed on him. It is said that one iu a trance is perfectly conscious of everything going on around them. If this he true, and if Bishop was only in a trance, as is alleged, what must have been his feelings when he heard the doctors whetting their in struments, and discussing where and how they would commence cutting? The very thought is too horrible foi contemplation. Tne family are going to sue the doctors who sawed and cut the man up, within two or three hours after his death, without permission. None of the dead man’s family was in New York when he died. The doctors explain their haste by saying they wanted to examine Bishop’s brain, before it was changed to i much by death. It was indecent haste, to say the least of it. Science doesn’t require phyA'ans to hut men up before it is positively known that they are dead. New Jersey, having distinguished herself by the promptness with which she sends ciiminals to the penitentiary or the gallows, has now entered upon an interesting experiment in the mat ter of dealing with persons guilty of cimes not involving violence. A law has been passed under the provisions of which persons who have served oue-half of their terms, with the com mutation for good conduct, m ly be paroled,, being required, however, to report at stated intervals to the prison authorities.. It is simply the ticket-of- leave system once of force in Australia, aud which worked well in a sparsely- settled, primitive community. What will be the result in a center of popu lation like New Jersey is extremely problematical. An Outlet for the F. C. & P. The greatest gathering of Sunday school men ever had will be seeu in London in July. The world’s Sun day-school convention will as-erable in that citv on July 2d. Very low rates have been secured for persons in the United States who wish to attend. The trip from New York to London and return, including railroad fare, board at a good hotel during the con vention and incidentals, will cost only from $160 to $220, according to ac commodations. The triD will occupy about a month. The Bothnia, which ia to carry the excursion, will sail June 10. Notice of the incorporation of the Alabama, Georgia and Florida rail road, from the Georgia line to some point in Leon or Gadsden county, has been filed in the office of the secretary of state at Tallahassee. That part re- faring to the road from the state line to Columbus, Ga., has been filed with the secretary of state of Georgia. At Columbus it will meet the Chnttauoo ' ga and Columbus road, from Chatta nooga to Rome. This road is now finished from Chattanooga to Carroll ton, 140 miles, and in rapid construe tion to Columbus, seventy miles fur ther. It is expected to be finished this vear, nnd will afford an oulet for the f\ C. & P. Thnmasville, at one time, might have secured this outlet. At least thero was a most excellent chnucc for it. But, like many other opportu nities, it was allowed to . p iss. Only second in importance to an independ ent Northern outlet, and we are not quite sure that it is second to that, is a connection with the F. It. &N. sys tem, a. connection which would give Thomasville the advantage of two ad ditional lines of steamships to and from New York; one, the Mallory line, from Fernandina, and the other the Glydo line from Jacksonville. Thomasville business men are vitally interested in New York freights. Some Railroad News. The Savannah, Ainerieus and Montgomery railroad have recently purchased the Atlanta and Florida air line, now completed from Atlanta to Fort Valley, Ga., and have let contracts for the construction of the road -from Fort Valley to Cordele, A junction with their main line will he made, also with the Georgia South, ern and Florida liue. This line from" Jacksonvi’le to Chattanooga, via the Florida, Central and Peninsula to Lake City, Georgia Southern to Cor dele, Atlanta and Florida air liue to Atlanta, and Western Atlantic, will make the shortest line by twenty miles from Jacksonville to Atlanta, This liue will make the rates to all points west. The air is full of new railroad lines. Cities, towns and sections are strain ing every nerve for better railroad fa cilities. In this struggle Thomasville will he left—unless her capitalists combine and protect themselves and the place. A Reminiscence of the Mexican War. A correspondent of the Constitu tion lias beeu interviewing Mr. Lewis F. Robertson, n Mexican war veteran and prominent bank official of Charleston, S. C’. Mr. Robertson puts some salt ou Sherman’s hide in the talk. We take the following from the Constitution's publication: “Robertson served through the Mexican war as second lieutenant of company F in the regiment from this state, known ns the Palmetto repi ificnt. He is credited with being one <if the first United States soldiers to plant the colors on the walls of the City of Mexico. He also had a hand in the late unDlcasnntness—on the southern side, of course. He is not an admirer of Gen. Win. T. Shermnu. Here is what he said to the corres pondent: . “The great barn burner and bum mer chief, Sherman, ought to read up a little of the history of the country. There are men who fought for the Union when Sherman was in knicker bockers. f don’t know where Sherman was in the davs of’48 and therea bouts. hut I know that when men were wanted at the front down in Mexico there was a regiment of South Carolinians there, and they did :(ood service. The Palmetto regiment managed to do some good service in Mexico, although they fought under the Palmetto flag. “As a matter pf fact, wo didn’t see the stars and stripes from the time we left Charleston until we entered the City of Mexico. In those days we did not think it was necessary for men to wear a United Slates flag on his coat sleeve to prove his loyalty to hiscoun- try, provided he proved it hyTTghting. Nor was it regarded necessary to prove one's loyalty to the flag by burning barns, destroying homesteads and hanging negroes up to the limbs of trees to make them tell where the family .silver was hidden. Let me give you an incident, which can he verified by the history of the Mexican war. “As I have already said, the Pal itto regiment, which served througl that war, didn’t carry the stars aud stripos. They had a plain Palmetto flag, presentt d to them ju-fl before they went to the front. At Chamil- tepee there was a hitch somewhere. I don’t want to say who is to blame, hut the troops who were at the trout, and who had the stars and stripes with them, didn't move on as prompt ly as the commandiug officer desired. So that officer sent word to Gladden to move his regiment, the Palmettq, to the front, and to storm the walls. “The order was given, and the ‘armed mob,’ with the Palmetto flag at its head, marched up. passed the advance troops, who were lying in the trenches with the stars and stripes, and with a yell and a rush, captured the fortress and planted the Palmetto flag on its battlements The troops with stars and stripes came up later. Then we pushed forward to the City of Mexico,leaving the stars and stripes, which had come up later, flying over Chapultepec. “The Palmetto regiment were in advance when the city of Mexico sur rendered, and T remember the inci dent. General Quitman, who was in command, called upon us for 'lie ua- t nual colors We didn't have them. He was told that they hud been left behind at Chapultepec. I was thire at the time with our old Palmetto flag, and said to him that the only national flag wc had had been left be hind gt Chapultepec. ' Here.’ said I, 'is the Palmetto flag, nnd I expect it will do till yon can get the national colors.’ "The general took the flag and planted it on the walls. Jt was tbs first flag that waved over the City of Mexico after its capture." Lieutenant Robertson says that the -facts, as lie stated them, can be veri-j fied by history. Corporal Tanner is still engaged in reducing the surplus. The Corporal ought to he reduced himself—-to ranks. STItA FED.
