The extra se6sioi of Congress in October will be anxiously awaited by politi'cians. The organization of both branches of that body will take place then, .and the extent of tho op position to Hayes and his South ern policy will be developed. The administi ation is nr.turally anxious, and is waiting to see what will L:e -attitude of the South. Hayes wants to l3reak'up the solid South. But copipotent judges tbirk he has taken a bad way to do it.- Instead of filling the Federal offices with .conservative Southern men, ho has suffered all the pptrngge to fall into the linpds of. tho qame old Radical gangs that have already prostituted their power. Louisiana has been givon, oyer to the returning board, aid this has antagonived the other Radical faction ; so that it is prophesied that P(tckard and Kel logg in their fight over the adminis tration will receive strong Southern Radical support. The Washington correspondent of the Now 'york Ii(e,ald speaks as fol Iows on theo complication: It is thie.intention of these men 'to reptesent to their friends that the condition of Louisiana isi no bettor than it was under Kellogg ; that the ,negroeslt ve no rights,; that "men are killed jtgst the -salme i" and theut Nichbli is a~ weok mAn, incapable 61 :rulitag the StAte. -In fact it wild not he surprising to see an -'attempt made to hoist the "bloody shirt" once (mores end qertainly if any Northetn AenatorslLre inclined to do sb they will findiready and effioient hel in Southern Republicans. In the Souate, when it meets, Kel. Iogg, from Louisian, and Corbin, from South Carolina. will appear for their seats, and there is likely to be a sharp :and prolonged contest over these men., The Senate is now so c.loselyv divided that the Reopubli cans Will not' willingly surrender even one vote. Theyr are likely to lose Patterson, ofn South Carolinai, and if he sihould come to grief the Leglaathid Would 4leote a Domoortt in his place. -'If Louisiana shbuild have two Democratio senators and South Ca-'olina the same, the senate would stand thirty. seven Democrats, thirty-eight - Republicans, and Judge Davis, an mndependent. It stands now thirtyh.nino Repubhecans, thirty-three Democrat', an indo pendent, and three contcsited seats. Judge Datis1'itis thbught, willigon erally vote 'wj;h the' Democrats, on great ..1ntastorbs., and oespeeldlly on the adrebision'.f Sodthern'senators, and MvmJLMbLto1i'sa ill'iess reduices the availablo!Republiehn|~vote by one.

And it would not be. surprising if this contest should open up the whole Southern settlement, and be made the occa sion for a genei.al attack on the President and his policy by the quinbined qpat9rial. army of soro. headi.. Freight Discriminatio'n. Ma8sra. Edltor: All parts of our State except those accessible to competing points are suffering from the unwise and unjust discrimination in freights upon our railroads. This gives riso to the belief among many that certain sections of the State would be better off without railroads, and among othors to the wish now generally expressed to build con poting roads. I am sure this is not the remedy, for we have enough ri,lroa4s for the present and some years to come, in the impoverished condition of the people. A railroad is only a nocessity when under proper management it will pay a dividend to its stockholders. This rule might prove that in this State there are already too many rail roads, but that they do not pay I think in most cases results from mismanagemont. The South Caro lina Railroad has for years been in the hands of a set of Bourbons or, worse, and the other roads loading to Columbia are in the hands of sharpers. Extravagant salaries and insano efforts to secure through business, with a reckless disregard of the interests of ,he sections through which they pass, are among the causes of the failure of these roads. Railroads, just as any local enterprise, in order to build up and enrich the community, should be profitable to their stockholders, and when, under honest econmical man agoment, they are not thus profita ble, they ought to shut up shop. They have the natural right to charge for their services enough to offect this end, even should people be compelled for economy to return in some cases to the old wagon road. For the laboror is woithy of his hire. Wo have no right to complain of high charges if the work is done as cheaply as can be justly afforded, but we do claim that no railroad should have the power ro build up or destroy towns at pleasure, and to paralyze the industry of an entire State. This power they ruthlessly exercise by their freight discriminations, and it should be restricted by the Legislature. The evil has been removed in the North-west by en actments requiring that all freights shall be charged in exact proper ~tion to the weight and the number of miles transported. Without going entirely this far, I think we may accomplish the end by for bidding a greater charge for any distance than for a longer distance. This will place all intermediate points upon an equitable footing with terminal points, and at the samo time permit the transaction of through business. Thus a rail road might or ;might not charge more for freight from Charlotte to Augusta than from Charlotte to Winnsboro, but it would be pro.. hibited from charging less. I trust that a searching investigation will be made into the affairs of the railroads by the Legislature, and that the unscrupulous men who now manage themi will be shorn of their powver. M. The Moffpt registering machines have been introduced into nearly all the 1)ar-rooms in Richmond. The liquor dealers have abolished the credit system, Aud now do business only on a cash basis. A State offi.~ dial who is known throughout the Cornmo'iwealth) of Virginma, went into ta saloon last Monday and called for a glass,of larger. It was delight adlly cool and bo wris about three 1nintitesin swvallo'wing 'it, after which he wiped his lips with his handkor chief rndl oy 1 the barkeeper sue.. ipiciously.

Socretarl Thompson is showin up a numb4r of fraudulent contracts -made by Sebretary Robeson, of the havy, -just before leaving Grant's cabet. An Ameri an builder took a con tract to buill a three-story house in St. John in four days of last week or no psy. Appropriately, this live builder s name was Live. President Hayes recently visited Morton at his bedside, and kissed him twice. It will be remembered that Beecher and Tilton likewise kissed. The American rifle team again beat the British team at Creed moor, by 92 points, making the unprece dented score of 8460 points out of a possible 3600. President Hayes had a reception in Louisville, Ky., on the 17th. Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson delivered the address of welcome. Governor Hampton was present, on his way home. Ex-Sonator Sawyer, of this State, is on trial, with others, in Washing ton, for conspiracy and for passing fraudulent claims. Two claims of $57,000 for abandoned cotton are involved. The Mormon apostle3 have re ceived anew revelation from Heaven. It is a tame affiair, and reflects no credit on its author. The gist of the revelation is that the apostles are to "run the machine." Since Adelina Patti has been worsted in her divorce suit, she is being universally snubbed. Not long since she was the most petted of all the prima donnas. The commission to Sitting Bull, after leaving Fort Shaw, the last outpost, must travel two hundred miles over the country before reach ing his supposed present rendez vols. The Cuban patriots recently re ceived a cargo of arms and muni tions. The departure of the vessel was reported by Spanish spies, wh are in Southern ports, but too late to have the vessel intercepted. Stanley has written another let. to the Now York flerald. He has reached the mouth of the Congo. In three years he has traversed thousands of miles, fought thirty two battles with the savages, dis covered the source of the Nile, and played the mischief generally. Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, appar ently tired of waiting for com promises with the possessors of her property in New Orleans, has just sent out writs of possession for five different pieces of property on Rlamupart street, and intends, it is said, to send out others soon. The colored people of North Carolina are to hold a delegate con vention in Raleigh on the 18th of October to devise plans for their educaitional, material and moral advancement as a race, wvhich, the call says, "are and should be at this juncture paramount to all other issues." Nearly a dozen of the strikers who bore a conspicuous part in the late railroad riots are now in prison in Warren county, N. J., awaiting trial. One and all they profess the sincer est penitence, and regret the folly which made them the dupes of mischievous men, who have aban doned them to their fate. They are thoroughly cured of striking. The granting of divorces has beer a very profitable branch of business in Utah, and, it is needless to say, has been attended with more loose. ness, irregularity and infamy thar in any other portion of the country The proceedings now on foot in th( United States .courts at Salt Laki will have the effect of exposing the whole system, and if, as is expected, they wvill also expose the persons it different parts of the country wh< availed themselves of the rascaliti and corruption existing there it wil be only what they observe.
