TurH LFoisTA-ruia Is docided to
submit the vexed (jistion of the

Legislature. It was too stipen dous
a problem for thern to deal with.
THREiPoaRT OF ThE investigating
committeo on the ponal and charit,a,
blo institutions lays baro . a vast
amount of rascality in cominection
with the managemont of the pcni
tontiary. Stolbrand, Donnis, Nash,
Hayno and Noaglo are all liablo to
be put in the penitentiary them
solves. The co.mitteo worked
earnestly and suc.ssfully. Captain
Gaillard, of this county, was chair
man, and prepared tho admirable
report presented to the Legislature.
TuHE TRADE 11EAP1.) by certain in
dividuals and papers upon the Hon.
C. G. Memminigor is uncalled for and
unjust. In the course of his speoeh
on tho University, M,[r. Memiminger
mado certain allhsions that wvro
concoived by somo to bo incallu:1
for and unkind ; but Io very prompt
ly disclaimod any intention of
Wounding the folings of or insu1lt
ing any one. This should have
boon enough. Mr. IMomminger
is a gontleman distinguislicd alike
for ability and catholicity of spirit,
a gentlomnti whoso intelloct over

soars far abovo sectional prejudicos;
and he would bo th3 last une to

much greator man than his ievilers
are.
SENATOR L. Q. C. LAMAR, of Mis.

fuil speech in the Senato 1gainst the

him to vote for that measure, the

luH Lamar seems to be a sort of do
bilitated statesman. He is worried
with the idoa that there are only
thirteen States in tile American
Union, and that those thirtoon States
depond on Europe for the stabili ly
of their currency. We would remind
the Senator that in tis business lhe
fails to represent Georgia, his na
tivo State, and Mississippi, tihe State
of his adoption. It is more th: ni
probable, howver, that it is his
highest cfmblitionf to u p:eostt

be, as the weekly papers01 remark. If

the racket, so to speak, we are sure

TELE.P!oNEs AND MILITrARY OP'ERA
TIoNs.-The telephone is beingt
rapidly introduced in to the various
military (establishmnents, not only in1
the capital and its neighb)orh~ood,
but aliso everywhere in Germany.
At Dresden one of the new instru..
ments has b)een arranged between
the commandant's ofleo and tile
arsenal and barracks of rifles, about
800 yards distant. An already cx-.
isting telegraph wire is utilized,
from which wires are further led to
te]lonles in four rooms in the bar
racks. The alpparatus is reported
to act perfectly, conversations beingi
carried on without the slightest
difficulty. In Austria, also, expori
moents, the result of wvhich is stated
to have been exceedingly satisfactory,.
have been made in Vionna with tihe
telephone, and an important addhi- I
tion has been made to the instru.
mont by an American railway official<
in thte form of a bell to call attention <
to messages ab)out to he sent. At
tile same time, it is generally ad-]
nitted by military men abroadl that
much has yet to be done before the
tolephono can be considered availa
ble for practical use in the field. It
is an extremely delicate apparatus,
and any noise either at the sending
or receiving end of the wire mnd
