Will the Herald bo kind enough
to Inform us how, when and where
the Managing Committee of the
State Board of Agriculture let the
printing for the coming State fair?
The Herald announces that Miller
& Richardson were the lowest bid
ders, and the question naturally
arises who enjoyed tho privilege of
bidding against them? Ordinarily
it is the custom for parties
managing a public trust to
advlrtlBO for proposals, with a
stated time for the opening of the
bids. Inasmuch as we had never
even heard of such proposals, it
is fair to infer that the ordinary
method was not pursued in this in
stance. The retirement of Secretary Rich
ardson from the Cabinet has been
repeatedly prognosticated ; but until
recently these reports have been un
founded. The Sanborn investiga
tion seems, however, to have
brought to light some ugly facts im
plicating the Secretary in various
Irregularities. His early retirement
in consequence of these develop
ment seems now to bo a foregone
conclusion.
And now It is currently reported
that the retiring Secretary i to be
tendered a judicial position in the
U. 8. Court of Claims; or a mission
to some foreign country. If this is
really the programme, we must
characterize it as an outrage upon
common sense.
If Mr. Richardson has made him
self impossible as Secretary of tho
Treasury by corrupt jobbery, would
he be a fit man to sit upon the
bench, or to represent this Country
abroad ? Is there any good reason
why a dishonest cabinet officer
should be retired on a pension any
more than a dishonest Treasury
Clerk?
The Kansas and Missouri papers
are still howling about the outra
geous discrimination by the Union
Pacific Railroad in refusing to
prorate with the Kansas Pacific
upon freight and passengers trans
ferred at Cheyenne.
In Justification of their course) the
Union Pacific have placed documen
tary statements before Congress,
which cover the following points :
1st The Union Pacific has always
been ready, and is now ready, to
make rates which shall not dis
criminate against the Kansas Pacific,
but It cannot prorate mile for mile
on the baslsi of Its lowest through
rates from Omaha to Ogden because
of mountain grades and curves on
the west half of its road and the
greater distance via Kansas Pacific
2d, More than two-thirds of the
through rate from Omaha to Ogden
is earned jon the west half of the
Union Pacific; but it has offered and
now oners to mviuo tne mrougn
rate with the Kansas Pacific on that
basis. That company refuses the
offer, and demands one-half of the
through rate, or a pro-rate mile for
mile which is more than half the
through rate.
3d. The law, if applicable at all in
favor of the Kansas Pacific, (which
the Union Pacific denies,) simply
declares the rule of non-discrimination.
One-half tho through rate or
a pro-rata mile for mile would be
gross discrimination against the
Union Pacific
The government loaned on the
west half three tmes tho subsidy
on the east half, on account of in
creased cost of construction over the
Stocky Mountains. The west half
MSt three times as much in con
struction, and costs mora thon twice
as much in operation as the east
half.
8ekator Edmund's bill for tho
-appointment of a Commissioner to
investigate Postal Telegraphy, is
evidently a flank movement of tho
Telegraph monopolists to-shelve all
the other propositions now pend
ing before Congress for the estab
lishment of a Postal Telegraph.
America justly prides herself as
being the birthplace of Electric Tel
egraphy, but the masses of tho
American people know less to-day
absut the practical working of the
Telegraph than they do about the
sBoveaaentB of the solar system. In
feet; the popular ignorance on this
-subject in a country where Tele-
graphy lias come into such gen
eral uo is absolutely disgraceful.
The intelligent masses of Ameri
ca know but very little more about
the telegraph than the untutored
savage, who ascribes its mysterious
workings to a spirit Even the sage
law makers of the nation possess
but very crude concptions touching
this space annihilating messenger.
They know that the telegraph has
been an indispensable adjunct of
modern civilization. Tho3' know
that it regulates the world's com
merce, and brings tne nations oi me
earth into mora intimate relations
with each other. They do not com
prehend, however, that the practi
cal benefits of this greatest inven
tion of the nineteenth century, have
been confined within comparatively
narrow limits in this country, by
tho monopolists who control
tho svstem. Thev do not seem
to know that the aid
extend oil by one of these mo
opolies to the slaveholder's
rebellion was or more prac
tical value to the confederates
than could have been an army of
one hundred thousand men. Had
the Telegraph been under the direct
control of the Government in 1861,
the rebellion would have been com
paritively short lived. One of the
etmnrpf nnniments in favor
of Postal Telegraphy has been
furnished by the Arkansas rebellion.
Almost the verr first step taken bv
the belligerent Baxter was the seiz
ure of the telegraph office at Little
Rock. He placed an embargo upon
telegraphic communication and
prevented the transmission of all
messages tendlntr to weaken hi
cauc. Now if the telegraph had
been in the hands of the Govern
ment, would this us-nrper have
dared to tamper with it ?
Why did not Bater take posses
sion of the postoffice? He knew
well that such an attempt would
have produced an immediate colli
sion with Uncle Sam's military
forces, and that was just what ho
anxiously sought to avoid.
It is notour purpose atthistimo to
enter into an elaborate discussion of
the merits of postal telegraphy. We
merely desiro to show incidentally
that tiie American people ought to
b6 educated to a more intelligent
comprehension of tho telegraph,
and its ues and abuses.
It may tako several years to bring
about such a change, but wo confi
dently anticipate that the day is
not very distant when Telegraphy
shall become part of our common
school education, "and when the
Government shall make tho Tele
graph the universal messenger by
why a dishonest cabinet officer
placing it within tho reach
of the inhabitants of every village
that contains a postoffice.

The Sacramento Union of the 13th
says : Yesterday afternoon a party
applied to the County Clerk for a
marriage license authorizing wed
lock with a girl of fourteen years,
her father appearing and giving his
consent It appeared, however, that

and a boy under eighteen years an-
not consummate a marriage, ana
the license accordingly had to be
denied.
The Montgomery New3say: "In

without the" father's consent.
""Young Ladies" are done by a
writer in the Jewish Messenger, who
says : "So nice, is it not, to be en

herself, and every evening he calls
again, kisses her, and bestows upon
her a new novel and a dainty bou

and admires the way in which she

Then those heavenly evenings In

It is more the fashion in England
than in America to marry women
from the stage, though there, as
here, it is deemed the proper thing
for them to retire after marriage,
and never return during the life of
tho husband. Americans, as a rule,
are not inclined to dramatic connu
biality, and in this respect are quite
different not only from the English,
as has been said, but from tho
French, Italians, and Geimans,
who wed singers and players when
ever they oan turn such wedding to
pecuniary accsunt. With all our
practicability, we are far more ro
mantic and ohivalrous in respect to
matrimony than the European na
tions. More than any people we
marry for love, or what we take to
be such, which, in regard to motive,
is the same, though in experience it
often proves a very different thing.
We also want the woman to owe
everything, especially of a financial
kind, to our marital selves. Hence
the general indisposition among
men of pride and principle to be,
in any sense, fortune hunters. To
such men the feminine possession
of property is often a conjugal ob
jection. They are deterred by that
fact alone from proposing to a wo
man whom otherwise they would
bo happy tp bo united to. Not so
with ' Europeans. Many of them
would take a hag for a wife if she
were sufficiently endowed.

The Secretary of New Mexico re

the attendance of children could be
enforced. Taking the usual per
oentage of children relative to the
aggregate population, and there are
22,979 children of New Mexico of
school age. Deduct the number re

private schools, and we find still in
the Territory, 15,974 children absen

the opportunity of attending school.
Paradise will not be revjved by

tee had had some differences, drop
ped the remark that It wasn't fair
for two of the then members of the
committee, the two being one of
each sex, to transact business, late
at night, after the committee had
regularly adjourned. The result
was the principal's summary dis
charge in the middle of the term;
his sudden reinstatement for reasons
not made publlo, and the subsequent
close of tho school nine days before
the prescribed time, without the
customary publlo examination. The
affair was presented at town-meeting
in suoh a fashion that its dis

AT THE BBIDAL.
Wide stood the doors, that rooming.
Of the somber and ancient chuicn,
An 1 gsyly ihe yellow runshine
Streamed in on its sfldom search
Streamed over the rusting satin,
Over jewel and waving June,
Over smiling and confidsut gallants,
Over women all beauty and bleom, t
And I paused to loik at ihep giant
In ihmidst of tiie saimmtr and str,
And to hear the priest murmur : Foi soling
All ethers, cleave only to her.
Fair twinkled the tap r set altar.
And sweet b'ew the organ's breath,
While the lover bent and repeated :
To love and to eberhh till death.
The light from the gTeat rcfe window
Came splendidly ti'ting down ;
On ber lace there rose a glery ,
And over htr hair acrown ;
And I knew by the awful passion
With which he stood white and wan
That he cat hU hart before her
For li-r feel to tread upon,
But the bride was sofrly milling,

And I would there 1 ad been aglamonr
Orer my eyes, and a blur.

to tho entire world. He affirmed
that with 50,000 missionaries, and
with $15,000,000 a year for their
support, the work could be done in
ten years.
Bev. J. W. Lambreth, of the
China Mission, M. E. Church, is
appealing to the Church, through
the press, in behalf of the China
Mission. He has been twenty years
in the field, and is stationed at
Shanghai. He asks for three men
and their wives to reinforce the
work of evangelizing, and funds for
the support of the laborers and for
building churches.
Senator Hayes of the Massachu
setts Legislature has introduced in
to that body a bill providing for the
preservgtlon of the Old South
Church in Boston. It proposes that
the members of the Society who
wish to remove from the old Church
bo allowed to do so, taking then-
share of the property's value with
them, leaving those opposed to re
moval to remain with the church.
Tho best recommendation for the
plan is that It preserves the od
building.
A letter from Japan In the Cologne
Gazette says that the religious ques
tion, which Is an Increasing topic of
discussion among the Japanese, has
again been brougbt-before the pub
lie by a memorandum" issued by two
officials of the religious department
Tho memorandum begins by point
ing out that Japan has made
such Immense progress that
her civilization and com
merce are equal to those of Europe,
but that In religious matters she
still hesitates between Buddhism
and Christianity. It therefore pro
poses that public disputations should
be organized between Buddhist and
Shinte priests on onp side, and
Christian preachers orf the other.
Each of these disputations would
take place on a specified subject, o
be agreed upon befqrc hand by the
contending" parties. The speeches
would be taken down by short-hand
writers, and published in several
languages, an interval of ten
days would elapso between one dis
putation and the next. By these
means, the memorandum continues,
the world would be able to decide
which religion is tj0 tmp one, and
make its chbi6e accordingly; " The
expenses of tho proposed dlsuptations
would be covered by tho sale of the
short-band reports.

Although the case was the most
shocking of tho season, we have
heard nothing for more thaa a week
of Johnson, of St. Joseph, who yio
lated tho sanctity of the mails, in
sulted the postmaster of Chicago,
and-defied the laws of his country
by a shameless and scandalous ex
hibition of venality, corruption, and
mance. is jonnsou to go un
whlpped of justice? Aro the times
so base, aro our bustoms so degener
ate, that we allow a wretch like
Johnson to pass with a mere rep
remand? Johnson " is an agita

tho dignity of the publio service.

words, "you abe ax abs,"
