and accounts.
No more iniiortant body has ever met
in the Mississippi Valley, than the grave
and deliberative assembly known as the
Sanitary Council of the Mississippi Val-b-v
now in session in this citv. It is
comjsmed of citizen of the highest and
most responsible occupations and station-in
society. Members of the learn
ed profession of Medicine, which stands
first in its sublime works of benevolence
men of commerce, and practical hu
manitarians, whose life-long labor of
love is the good of their fellowmen.
These representatives are bound together
by the ties of a common country, a
common hope for its prosperity, and
that touch of generous human nature
which makes tbe whole world kin. As
the mean-, of rapid Intercommunication
between our own and foreign countries
have increased, the dangers of the intro
duction of yellow fever and other pesti
lential diseases have grown proportion
ately. Experience has demonstrated
that State and local sanitary organisa
tions, though useful in their way, were
not sufficient protection against suen
visitations, and it was found necessary to
establish a National Health system
which would be uniform, simultaneous
and vigorous in its operation. Inspired
by this knowledge, Congress, on the 8d
of March 187'.', passed an act ' to pre
vent the introduction of infectious or
contagious diseases into the United
States, and to establish a National
Hoard of Health." The whole country
applauded its wisdom; and on the 2d of
June, I87i) thus encouraged, it passed a
more general act enlarging the powers
of the National Hoard of Health and
placing a sufficient sum of money at its
disposal for the performance of the im
portant trust devolved upon it. How
well the Hoard acquitted itself of its ob
ligations, and subserved tho objects of
this ben. Qcent legislation, has becomi
history, Hnfortuuatelv the la!. Con
gress, owing to petty jealousies of on(
kind and another not necessary to be men
tinned here, crippled its power and de
prived it of the meant absolutely needed
for the successful executions of its func
tions. At its first session ono hundred
thousand dollars were placed at the dis
posal of the President, instead of the
Hoard, and it was diverted in toother hands
for disbursement, with what unsatisfac
tory results the country is but too well
informed. Al the late session the blun
der was repeated, and no action was
taken to continue in force the law of
June, 1879, which will expire in June
next four years from the date of its ap
proval. In this grave emergency, the Sanitary
Council has met, to devise measures for
supplying the omissions of the national
legislature, so far as in it lies, and to
suggest a method for concerted action
by Mate and local organizations. Also
to appeal to the President to select the
National Health Hoard as the agent for
the disbursement of the money appro
priated by Congress, over Which lie has
discretionary control. The object is
commendable. The danger is imminent.
The power and the duty of the national
authority to expend money according to
the sum needed to ward oil" pestitontial
diseases, cannot be questioned. If the
power "to regulate commerce,' confers au
thority to clean out harbors and tmnrnvn
navigation of streams, it certainly
The Tennessee Legislature Passes a
Bailroad Commission Bill.
The Tennessee Ivcgi-dature has passed,
and the Governor has approved a bill
creating a I tail road Commission and put
ting into practical operation the right and
dttty of legislative control in the interest
of and for the protection of the people.
The Memphis Apcal which has steadily
and ably advocated the passage of such a
measure, discusses the action of the leg
islature, in this manner:
The people of Tennessee rejoice at the
passage of the Bailroad Commission
bill, it may not be all that is required,
but it is a movement in the right direc
tion. Gov. Hate in selecting the com
missioners will no doubt exercise his
usual good sense and appoint men of in
tegrity, ability ami prudence -men who.
while protecting the people, will be just
to the railroads. When the Georgia
Legislature passed a similar bill, the
railroad magnates threatened to switch
all their locomotives off the track, and
to transfer the rails and cross-ties to
States where the discriminations of the
monopolists were never molested, arid
the people have DO rights which the
railroads are bound to respect. But the
Legislature of Georgia could not be in
timidated. The bill passed, the commis
sioners were appoint

depots were all to be closed. The sharp
triangular nose of the cow-catcher was
never again to be stained with the blood
of its victims. There were to be no
more ditching, no more collisions, and
the ponderous wheels of the great jug
gernauts wept at the thought that they
were no longer to enjoy the luxury of
crushing hones, decapitating heads and
increasing the demand for wooden legs
and arms. But the people could not be
frightened. The Legislature passed the
bill, the commissioner! were selected,
and although busily engaged in the work
of protecting the people, the locomotive,
with his tender behind and cow-catcher
in front, is making big money for the
monopolists. The same bulldozing was
attempted in Tennessee. It, had its

obeyed the Instructions which their con
stituents gave in electing them., Tho

the transportation charges and the un

Oppose the progressive civilization of the
age. The people should manifest no
angry impatience, r it took the Geor
gia commissioners six months to perfect
the System which is now working to the
satisfaction of the people without anv
material detriment to the mads. There
appears to be no denial of the fact that
tho establishment of a Railroad Com
mission in other States has been produc
tive of good, and we Cannot sec why
similar results should not follow in
Tennessee. Discrimination often dries
up smaller cities by the suction of com
mercial centers. This can only be pre
vented by legislation, not against rail
roads, but by the enforcement of laws
which mete out equal and exact justice
between the roads and the people.

The Hatesville Blade asserts that
"Lynch stated to more than one colored
brother," what the editor of the Exam
iner promised him, that the Legislature
should tix up a district to elect him to
Congress. Thereupon the editor of the
Examiner says that he never had a con
versation with Lynch on the subject,
that "he never favored and does not now
favor any plan of districting the State
that proposes making a district for
Lynch, or that proposes surrendering any
district of the seven to Lynch or any
other Republican."
Will's ex-Governor Churchill, of Ar

not accepted, and in January last anoth

report shows a shortage of $233,616.
that an important privilege of the people
has been usurped a tresspass woefully
inconsistent with the principles of Repub
lican government that of wielding a
direct influence in the choice of their
servants. If the question should become
one of expediency, would our judges
not be driven to a strict adherence to
duty through fearof popular displeasure,
and punishment for any abuse of office
no matter how great the temptation
or desire if their records were practi
cally Bubjett to public scrutiny and
judgment? Yet to view it in the light of
a question of political expediency is to
clothe it with a perfectly ridiculous in
consistency. It is a curious problem of
how best to bind the hand of justice to
the rod so as to keep its fingers out of the
"flesh pots."

Farmer Hut, sir, I can't take that
sum. Land Is worth double the original

or I can't allow you to appropriate it.
Railroad Company All right; there
is a way to get it. I shall ap ly to

your private property to public use, and
it, not you, will lix the price.
Farmer Then I may have to yield,
but I will see you again.
The land is condemned, the railroad
company appropriates it, all costs arc
thrown upon the farmer, and he gets
about half price for his ten acres. A

Farmer Mr. Railroad Corporation, I

You must pay our price or haul your

Farmer All right. There is a way
to make you transport my property at
fair rates. I will see that legislation is
had to compel you to do it.
It. R. C No, you can't interfere with
"vested rights," nor can you compel a
man to sell, or hire the use of his pri
vate property for any price less than he
chooses to ask. Can the law set a price
upon your products, your labor, or vour
farm?
Farmer Is your railroad private prop
erty? r
R. R. C Of course it is; it is our own
private enterprise as much as farming is
yours, and we have as good a right to
charge all we can get for service, as you
have for corn or pork.
Farmer Very well then ; let us see.
Transportation of persons and property
is a public necessity, and vour franchise
was granted for public use". Admit that
the cars, the locomotive and the rails are
private property. I propose to ask the
government to exercise its right of emi

right to condemn your private property
to the public use of transportation, anil
it, and not you, shall set the price for
such use. It is a poor rule that works
