VANDERBILT has un expectedly declined to favor Tin NEws AND ERALD with the trilling loan of a hundred thousand dollars, secured by a mortgage on our sub scription list. ,Ie feared . all along that KeariAdy's yawps. and Beast Butler's harapgues would tend to destroy credit, but we had no idea that the shock would be so violent. A CORREsPONIN.X from Barnwell writes to the JNews and Courier that the Federal officials are coulining their arrests to colored Democrats. This is a ridiculous farce. First it is charged that the whites intimidate the blacks; and then the blacks oVply are arrested. If there are enough . colored Demo crats to bulldoze Radicals, then the howls of race persecutioh are base less. Mr. layes is somewhat illogi cal. PREsuDEN I.AYEs denios that he has abandoned his Southern policy. Ile knows no section, and merely intends to see that every citizen is -protected in his right to vote. Ben Butler not only alleges that, the grossest intimi dation prevailed in. Massachusetts at the last election, but makes specific charges. No serious harm would re suit if the Federal marshals would cease the arrest of Southern Demo crats for violations of law, and turn their attention to Massachusetts Radi cal bulldozers. A NoRT1nEN correspondent says that the friends respectively of Blaine, Conkling and Grant are already work ing to get Southern delegations to t he next Republican convention. The Southern States will cast no Radical votes in the electoral college, but they will have a hlundred and forty votes in the Radical nominating convention; and as a majority nominates, a Solid South would help any candidate's chances amazingly. The correspond ent thinks that Conkling will have the inside track; but, in our opinion, if Grant be a candidate lie will get the Southern votes pretty solidly. The question remains whether enough Radicals will be left out of jail to make up the quota or dulegates. The Southern Paoifle. The contest between the rival cor porations for the privilege of building a Southern Pacific road is becoming quite heatedl. The Charleston Chamn ber of Commnerce was on TulesdaIy the scene of a debate between ex Governor Brown, of Tennessee, in behalf of the .Texas Paci1le,- and ex Senator Norwood for the Southern Pacific. The latter extends from San Francisco to the Colorado River, where it stops, as it has no franchise allowing it to cross that river. Thle Texas Pacific has been built several hundred miles wvest of the Mississippui River. It wishes a subsidy of about $30,000 a mile. Senator Norwood -claims that the Texas Pacific is bank ruplt; and that, itf subsidized, it will be completed entirely in the interest of the Tonm Scott. Pennsylvania Rail road combiniation. Governor Browni con firms the charges we made some time since, that the Southern Pacifle belongs to the Central Pacific; that it has a bonded dlebt already of thirty millions and a floating debt of four teen millions more, and that as these figures show the road's 'insolvency the inference is that Its stockholders have no idea of complettig a roadl, but merely wish to secure .the franchise so as to prevent any road being built to compete with the Central aid the Union PacifIc. This, it seems to us, is a conclusiye ap~iei auhs granting any righits tQ the Southern Pacific. Much better have competi tion across the continent, even at the risk of a mon'opoly ini the East, than a' monop)oly west of the Mississipp)l and comlpetition onl this sidle. Moreover, Congress can very easily frame the charter so that the South can get a -fair share of pr1ofts from the tranis continental trafflc. While not enam ored of Tom Scott's road, we are utterly opposed to having anlythiung to do with Stanford, HIuntinlgdlon and .Jay Gould. We trust our Congress men will weigh this matter carefully, nd allow 110 such steal to. pass I; through as. the Central and Union PaoiIc roads were. F"or our part we do not think any southern route will obtain much help in the proeneit temper of the Unilted Sates' akN84Z OQ8han'. General Bb aurog A is hmnid work J 111011 abook of reojleotins of the Tennessee hogs are sellhin IvAs)i6 ville, North Carolina, at 414 cent~ gross, per pOund. per annum for its police, and Yet there are taxplyers who complain 'that this trivial amount is not fairly earned. Before this year's political contests are fairly over those of 1879 have been beu In. The Keituckv Democratic State Convention has b'een called to meet at LouisvllIe, May 1, 1879. Twenly-six million dollars is the amoit. charged igainst Chamberlain. At least the ring of which lie was the head ceni re piled up1) that amount of debt, and left nothing to show for it. Mrs. Lula Lang, a Nashville widow, saw her lover walking with another womai, borrowed his watch and pawlied it to biy a pistol with which ito shoot him, and not finding him shot herself. Twotinteresting biurglars have been arrested at Adelaide, Australia, who distributed tracts on Sunday in order to become acquainted with the preis es they intende(l to work, and whon captured ate up ?300 in $20 notes. It is calculated that the Democro6ts have elected to the Fortv-sixth Con gress eighty of the menibers of the present Congress, while about seventy Republicans of the Forty-fifth Con gress will hold seats in the Forty-sixth, George F. Holland was in his usual place on last Sunday as superintendent of the Baptist, Sund'ay school, in Da venport, Iowa, and on Monday he was arrested Oil at charge of stealiIg $,50() from the railroad company that em ployed limil as agent. Tito Crown Princess of Gerniany-is about to send her son on a voyage round the VoIld, anlt,d she has packed with her own hands each one of his trunks, besides selecting his library, which contains, among other things, Shakespeare aid Sir Walter Scott. .'h.o New York W17/ness, ''the only religious daily." proposes that the best element of both parties ilunite to elect Bayard in 1880 on a platform devoted to ''an unalterable gold standard," and several other things not necessary to mention. There were one hundred and eight murders last year in Switzorland, in a polla tion of less thant 3,000,000. Capital puishnciit has been abolished ill that countr,. There wereflive hun dred and ninety-seven suicides, a greater proportion than obtains in any other European country. Alfred Wolstenholme, a Sheffield Quaker, has been severely censured by a coroner's jury for neglecting to pull a child out of a shallow brook in which it was drowned. Instead of doing so lie Went off to a house at some distance for aid, declaring that lie "did not wish to spoil his trousers." A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press telegraphs that Blaine is loomning up rapidly as the Re publican candidate in 1880. lie sa 's many Republicans who opposed t e Senator's nomination at Cincinnati now coifosA thir uaistaka and declare their purpose to work for him in 1880. Judge Abbott, recently Democratic candidate for governor of Massachu setts, expresses the opinion that fully 25,000 Democrats voted for Talbot, the Rep)ulican cand(idate, as the suirest means.of dlefeatinig General Butler. .ie.ri(hcuIles the id ea that there was intimiidation in the election, as assert ed by Butler. The sentence passed upon -Edwin C. Hayden, conivi'cted at Montpelier, Vt., of the murder of his wife, is indeed a fearful one, lie is to end(ure a servi tud1e Of near'ly two years at hard labor in the p)enitenltiairy, then three months in .solitary confinement, after which he is to be hung on the first Friday after the fIrst Tuesday in January, 188t. The butsiness of robbing graves has beein carried1 to such an extent in Ohio as to b)ecome a p)ublic disgrace and to call for some vigorous . preventive measures. Of course, thq crime ought to be severely mnUish~ed, .but beyond this Olio wouk find it wvell to remove some ,of the temptations to body sniatchmig by takingv lhe p)rovision of atiatomical suibjects under the p rotec tion and regulation of the law. A.Washington correspondent of the Sp)rm gfleld (Mass.) R?epublican tells how thte managers of the 1880 campaign iil coimmece the Grant program me: "Exactly at the proper momenmt he will probably arrive at San Francisco. Ho wil duly .eeiv a splendid ovation, an ewll he proce ,to receive ovaion al aon. th rdteacross thme ctinient, wvndh ng up with Philadel phia's feager ovation at the last. On~ the heels of this last trinm phant recep tioni will follow the Rtepu ican nomi nating conivention." W. C.
