Wo give the proceedings in some do- tail, including & vorbatim roport of Mr. Willism B, Ogilen's nddross. The Minor’ Convention at Oleveland basacted upon the eminently zansiblo advice of its Prosi- dexl, aud will avold strikes during the wintor The miners’ object now ia to strenpthen their association, take care of tho sick, and bave re- courso to arbitation for the sottlemout of all disputes with omployers.

Then thoy will trike. et st Charges of malfersance iu oflice have been brought againgt Commireioner Davenport, of Now York, by Oswsld Ottendorfer aund other prominent Democratic politicians, It would be a blessod Providouco that should put Davenport on tho dofensive, and iake away from himal hopos of rescuo by his superior ofticers at Wash- ington, 1le might then split like Ssm Sim- inons, nud what & wroek of big reputations thero wonld be ! ' A wust revolting story ia told thiy morniug in tho report of the banging in New Brunswick yestorday, ¥he wurderer, his paramour, and their victim were ignorant, debauched croatures; tho crimo was premeditated for mouths; it was oxecuted with deliberation; and repented of in baste, Tho man has beon hapged, Tha woman who urged bim on is saved for a timo from o slmilar fato for theseko of an unbora child, Hor execution will take place in Januaxy. The clection of Mr. John B. Drake, oua of tha most active members of the Citlzens' Assoclu- tion, to represent the Board of Underwriters in the lire Commission, wus most judicious. Mr, Dralo will serve without salary, the $2,000 for- morly allowed for the pay of this now oflico hav- ing baou diverted to the fund designed for Gou. Bualer. 1f Gen.

Wo aro Incliued to tho bellof that neither the Ropublicau party in gonoral nor Mr. Farwoll in particular will bo matorially aided by tho specch Qeliverad by Bonntor Oglesby at Turner Hall lnsk night. Tho old-fashloned party harangue does not count for much nowadays, aud My, Smith may congralulate himself thnt Mr. Oglesby did not deliver Limself in Dhis district nor aveu mention his nome. Tho manifest of- fort to comcontrato tho strength of tho party influence on tho North Slde in order to re-oleot Mr. Farwoll evon ab the sacrifleco of botter mon in the purty will make M. Farwall's defeat doubly humilinting to him aud the party. If the current (@ in thia diroction, us {{ certainly seoms to be, Mr, Oglesby’s offort, hoavy as it was, will not eheck it; and, if the Administra- tion i londing its nid to his fortuncs to tho ex- clusion of the other party mterests in this aly, 1t is likely to meet with tho rebuko it doserves. Ewmperor William's gpeech in oponing the Ger- wan Parlinmont is o votable utterance. Calin, decided, and cainest In tone, it must at once in- vigorate and restrain the body to which it is ad- dreesed, Tho Emporor speaks with the coution becoming ono whose words fly avound tho world. To his dear Alenco aud Lorraine ho sends n kind greoting, and recommnends thnt the budget of theso provinces be geuorously framed. To the Parliament itsolf ho gives o timo- Iy warning by Insisting upon the reorganize- tion of tho army on o Jargor sealo than ever bo- fore. This part of his speech must havo soundod strangely in cars whick hourd the debato on tho Army bill lagt winter. To the outside world tha Emperor throws down his gage in an open rofer- ouco to tho power of the Empire in case of war, and his disposition to use it on suflicient occa- sion. All this comes from a ruler who, ten yeors ogo, was almost nobody, Then wo cared noth- ing for his spesches. Now we liston to them aa oracles of a domi-god. i PENDING BAILWAY LITIGATION. Tho retusal of the United States Supremo Court to sdvance tho Wisconsin railway caso [ upon the docket way suticipated in T'ur Trinoxe two montus ago. Tho cade is now left in iis reguler order, whora it will not be reached under two years, The statement that it would bo argued next spring wis amisconception. Refer- enco was meant to another railway suit, which will bo the first in the regular order, It is No. 219 on tho calendar, is entitled Blake vs. The Winona & 8t. Poter Railroad Company, and wil] doubtloees be ronched lato this term, Tho Wis- consin caggs cannot poseibly bo reachéd in the regular ovder under two or threo years. A suffi- clont numbor of casos are already on the ducket to oceupy the Court formoro than two yoars, avd, a8 the motion to advance the caso was denied, all the intorvening cases must first be oconsid- ored. The eartliest possible docision of the ques- tions at iwsuo being deemed of tho utmost im- portance, tho Minuesota case will bo prossed to an carly heering. It differs xomowhat from the Wiscousin case. Tho reserved power of tho Toglslature to slter or ropeal tho cbarters of corporatious docs not enter into the question, tho Minnesotu railways baving been chartered beforo legislative coutrol wes contemplated in thas Btato. Tho issue clearly presonted is, whether tho Legisloture has the right to pre- seribo arbutrary rates of fare and froight for the railionds chartered by it. This assumption the Minuesota corporations have always denied, on the ground that such action would impair tho obligation of the contract coutained in their churters, In 1871 tho Logialaturaof thut Stato passed an act establishing a scheduls of maximum rates for all kinds of property and for passen- gers, aud forbade tho exaction of higher rates under certain enumorated penattios, It boing appntent tho railronds would not comply with the statute, soveral persons rosiding along the Ine of the Winona & 8t. Doter Rnilroad comn- bined to test its constitutionality, Suit was conmenced in tho Distriet Court in the nume of I. D, Blake, a merchant of Rochester, Minn,, to rocover poksession of two bales of merchnndleo slipped from Winonn to Rochesler. The rate demanded Dy the Company wad $1; the rato pregeribed by law was b7 cents, The Compuny refused to doliver tho goods unless their rate of chargo was paid. Dotk parlics boing desirous to make it a test cago, overy questiou other than tho constitutional powor of the State to puss such laws wod waived. Judgment was rondered in favor of tho Railway Company. An appoul was taken to the Supreme Court, where tho declasion of the Court below wae roversed and tho validity of the law sustained. o ro-+ vousio this judgment, & writ of orror was sued out to tho Buprome Couxt of the Unitod Stutos. At the samo timo the Stato of Miunesots inuti~ tuted u suit to vacato the chartor of the Company as & penalty for its violation of the lww. Thia procecding, howover, was subsoquontly rolin- quighed. On bohialf of the Stato it 18 set up that the chartor of tho Trausit Railrond Compaug, out of which tho Winona & Bt. Potor Nailrond Com- pany was aftorward formed, did not coutsin any exproas pravislon empoweriug it to charge ratos of fore and froight, and that tho act in question wad the Qrst authority to prescribe the rates. ‘The appellants, however, think they will bo ablo to show that tho authorlty claimed was exprossly copforred in the chartors, If thelr position is sugtalned, the questlon to bo passed upon will Lo precisoly liko that now at faano in this State. Quite an amusiug time aro Gov, Bovoridge and Mayor Brown having sbout the dyke at St. Loufs, 'Yho Mayor comes down handsomely, eoys the dyke ia roally changlng tho chaunel of tho Miselsslppl, and hopes to restoro the old ordor of thinge without unneccessary delay. The reason of hiu tractabloness la not far out of Mr. Charlos I Walkor senda us nnothor com- munication, which may Vo found olgawhero in this papor, in answor to Gov. Kollogg's noto, ad- drossnd to tho rondors of Tus Trrnuxe and The Democratic over, Mr, Walker says, and woare glad to havo tbat ho bas no interost in prolecting Domocrats ns such, If Domocrats have stolen, let them suffor the penslty, And Gov. Kollogg ought to ad~ mit the strenpgth of this position. Tho real is- 8uo bofore the pooplo of Loulsiana is whothor the way. Tho dyko has beon vory naoty to Bt. Louis, lustend of making ground below the city—whiol It wasintended to do, and would bave dono 1f it had beon woll-conduoted—tho dyko 8ot bnck tho waler above the clty so tunt thoro 18 danger of the river leaving 8t Louls discon- solato, nnd mourning for hor lost empho. Honce the bittor feolings of Mayor Brown tow- ards tho proprictors of the dyke and the dyke itsolf. Gov, Dovaridge’s objeetion to it is that it I4 oansing o diverslon of tho river which would, if not nttendod to, travsfor somo thou- sands of nores from the Illinols to the Missouri shore. P ] DEMOCORATIC NEGROLS. It hns beon widoly roported that thero nre places in Georpis whero the colored poople voto tho Domoeratio ticket quito largaly. There is truth in tho roport. Tha loyal supportors of tho Administration necount for this excoptional phie- nomonon by attributing it to terrorlem. Tho renl cause, however, Ia not torrorlam, It is whis- Ly. Bo confeeses old Uncle Nolson, & negro preacher in Georgia, Unclo Nolson tells how tho coloreil peoplo down his way came to vote tho Domocratio tick= ot 4 and, indocd, how ho eamo to voto it himeelf ; nay, how ho preached Democrany to bis congre- gatlon. Neither Unclo Nelson nor his colored brothren wore seaved into voting with tho Demo- orats. Unclo Nelson snd his congrogation worked on rallyays., They bad & whilo boss. Tho boss asked them to vote tho Democratio ticket, snd (Ley did so becnuso the Loss alwoys **did the right thing Ly thom.” What tho right thing was tho soquel shows, Ho wout down to Rome nnd bna all llgmen reglstored tovote. Hathon invited thom to hig shanty, whero ho informed thom ho al- waye koot on hand some trne Democratic doce trino, Tho mvitation was not unhoeded. All tho congregation, Proachor Nelson not eoxcepted, colleoted around the boss' shanty, Tho lattor produced tho promised Democratio doctrine fn the form of a good-sized demijohn, A cup was procured, sud the water of life poured out to tho thivsting Afvicans, Tho boss aseured thom that the whisky Lad como all tho way from Ken- tucky, that it was good Domoeratio whiskoy,made by Democratic hands, fn o Demacratie still, out of Demoeratio corn ; that the demijohn out of which ho poured it, and tho cup trom which thoy wero drinking It, were Domocratie also. Tho immodiata effect of the beverago was to dispose tho colorod‘gentlemen who partook of it favorably towards tho Demoeratic party, Whisky never was known to ** go back" on the Democratia party, and it did not in this instanco. It effected tho palitical couyersion, or parversion, of the negroes. Whou thio boes had them all in good liumor, ho rominded them that cloction day was not far off, He said that he would give them all 2 holiday, and that their pay would go on just tho snmo as if they bad been at work. Ilo promised to tako them all to Rome, whoro the polls were, to pay all their bills, and to lot thom Lave n good time. On the eve of election day the Democratio demijobn was mado to do good servico agam in tho causeof the Democratic party. Election day cnme, the boys went down to Rome and had a good time, and voted the Democratio ticket all in a body, *like a com- pany of soldiors,” The Radicals have called this “‘torrorism.” It s not terrorism, but it i not much Dbetter. It is to be hoped, howover, that the Domo- crats will not very extensively imitato the Georginu boss' mathod of making proselytos. Should they conspira throughout the South to give the colored men n holiday whenever oloc- tion came, to pay all their bills and give thom a good time, it is to be feared that they wonld in tho ond aucceed in alionating tho affections of the colored race from the carpet-baggers and adventurers who havo infosted tho South siuce tho taking of Richmond. -~ ‘WOMEN AND WHISKY, Wo are iu 1cceipt of soversl specches, pam- phlets, cte.,, mostly emanating from Michigan, in which women-suffrage is argued for on tho ground that it would resutt in tho prolidition of dram-shope and drinking. The party which pro- cluims such & programme s commitling suicide withs such suronoss and speed that thoroe is shght need for ontsidorn to do anything to basten the process, When June asks John to give her tho Baltot in order that sho may tyrannize over his tautes, 8he can get only ono unewer, If thoro is any ono settled fact in polities, it iy that tho State might as woll do- creo *The sun shall uot shine™ as * Tho citizen ehall wob drink.” Every prohibitory Iuw hias failed. It is possible, when popular fecling in fully roused, to prevout the salo of liquor in a mwall rural community for & short time. It isnot possible to do suything more. These ophemoral successes aro eagerly heralded aa proofs of the ofileacy of prohibition! Thoy need to bo eagorly caugbit at, for the fact is apt to vanish beforo it can Lo told, This must al- ways bo so. Prohibition is supported by appeals addressed to the foolinga and opposed by argu- monts anddressed to tho mind, Roason must conquer oatiment, The man or wowan who, in the faco of facts, eriea out for prohibi- tion to-day domounstrales & prima facie unfitnoss for tho franchise. It is mot our purposs to repont here the timo-worn gnd unenswerable arguments against the princl plo of intorforonco with individual tastos. Wo wish simply to call attention to tho way in which women siriving for the suilrage aro proving the folly of granting their roquest.

Indeed, as the West Wisconsin ouly carried tho lumber 16 miles, it {s opon to quostion whother they can claim nny compensation whatover undor tho law. The Nallrond Commissioners wora applied to for ndvico, but they declined to intorfero, saying tho Compnoios must wottlo all differonces among thomsolves, Tha eano will cortainly presout in~ torosting foaturcs on trisl, and, if taken up after the eleotion, its consideration may do much good by showing tha oporation of the Pottor law. In tho Fifth Annunl Roport of the Board of Railrosd Conmissiouers or Magsachugotts tho dogreo of regard for the diotatos of roason, AU Papors aro belug propaved for & suit against the Milwaukoo & 8t, Paul Rellway Compnuy for chissging more than tho Potter Jaw allows ou lumber from Lowrie's, on tho Weat Wisconalu Dailway, to Spurta, on the Milwaukee & 8% Paul attoution of the publlo is again called to'tho rallrond question. Burveying its history from tho beglnning to the prosont timo, the Commis- oloners nre of opinion that » species of natural Inw of political evolution governing transporta- tion by rail way now bo foroulated, At first, it is assumed {hat raflvonds aro suiclently in- fluenced by natural laws; and the doctrine of non-interforencs by Govornment in their man- ngement obtains. In tho noxt stage, atlempts are mndo to regulate them by legislnlive ennct- monta. Finally, it comos to bo recognized that tranaportation by rail is a function of Govern- ment, In America, wo havo lived in tho first atago for & long timo, in somo States tho seo- ond stago has boon reached. Opinion and dig- cussion poiut in some quarters to tho third, Up to the preseut tume, this conutry has been ongaged in tho work of the coustruction of the roads. ‘Tho systom has beon imperfoct, Now the buildiog of roads is flnisbod in ity grand outlines, and the woris of construction i to be succaeded by the work of adjustmont, It is found here as it bas been found in overy othor country, thnt reifroads couniot be.governed by thio cconomical laws which govern other indus- tries. The law of compotition, or of supply and demand, excroises but little control over thom. Tho supply of compoting raflroads cannot bo indefiuite, An mcreso iu their number doos not diminish tho cost of tranaportation, If un~ profitable whore constructed, thoy canoob be moved to anotlier placo. Whoro el thoto ole- ments aro wauting thora can boe no competition, and whera there is no competition the ordiuary cconomical laws do not hold. This seoms to lend inovitably to the conclusion that tho rallrosds wust bo subjectod to some dogreo of governmeutal intorforenco, Thiw has beon folt evorywhore. It ia folt horo, and will continue to bo folt uutil some wise plan of logislutive control shall havo been mutured. Tho matuzing of such & plan is u matter of no small difliculty, Tho favorite subjoct of railrond legisintion, for inatance, aro fares and rates of freiglis. But, as the Massachusatts Commissionars say, the fram- ing of arailroad tarift which will conform to lo- cal and oconomical requiraments 18 tho most porplexing task to which even oxperionced rail- road managors can addrosa themuelves. They seout the idea, too prevalont among logislators, that it is possiblo, by the puesago of & simplo 1aw limited toa fow scchions, to regulate the wholo subject of fares and froights on a wise, just, choap, and pormancnt base. It i very haxd, howaver, to convinco mon who have had no railway experionce thet it is not an ensy thing to fromo & proper railway tarif, Oue failure will not salisfy legislutors of it. Two, throe, or four failures will not disabues tnom of tho error. W'hoy will not give it up until they sball bave ex- austed il the resources of their ingenuity, Then !l that remsins is to advocato the pur- coaso of tho railways by the State. It has al- mout come to this in Massachusetts, whoro the Commisgioners ssy thut tho discussion *‘hus fairly touched its utmost possible liwit in the agitation of & monsuro looking to partial State- ownarship,” Inlllinois, Wisconsin, Town, Minne- #ota, and othor States, it has developed ouly s fur os tho secoud stage, ow loug it will con- {inuo in that stago, in those States, it is not possi- blo ta predict; but cortainly long euough to pormit of manifold exporiments und no small amount of anuoyauca to the rallrond companien. All analogy gove to show that the strugglo of the Logislalure with tho railrond compaaies, once begun, novor ceases until their property fulla into the hands of the State and is menaged by tha Stato, Railway companics are giant justitu- tions, When tho public have once had & taste of thelr power ovor them, they do not willingly ooaso oxercising it till thoy become complote mastors of them. If tho law of evolution ro- garding railway control formulated by tho Mas. sachusotts Ruilway Comunissioners bo corroct, Wisconsin aud Illinols have only entered onn course relating to railways which will lead event~ unlly to State-ownersbip, It has almost led to that in Massachusotte alroady, Should Masse~ chusottt bocowmo part owner of the roads within lier tesritory, hor examplo will havo a vast influ- euco in tho way of reaction upon othor States.
