How loso will it be before Edisow, aged thirty-one years, the inventor of 157 patents, who works eighteen hours per day, will close hi eyes and ticklo the roots of the green, green grass with hUtoes? Tub City of Cincinnati wants all the profit there is in the Southern Railroad. No combinations until we know what the finished road can earn.

The Trustees should run the road until the citizens know its capacity for making money, then it should be let All Europe bits with bated breath await-iue the dread alarum that will announce that the war of the giants has begun; Just so here. We are exacting every gale that sweeps from the East to beartho startling in telligence that Doss Piatt and Oenerai Bukhman have declared war against each other. mm It is said that the war of the architects is telling upon Uncle Jimmy Williams. That It has-put a stoop on his shoulders, removed Ihe "buy-window" that nature was putting where it would do the most good, made him fricxe-ing in his manners, and would end in making him a k-nave or in bringing his gray hairs In sorrow to tho grave.

Trie State Senate of Massachusetts, that august holy that ti is; on LVacon Hill, and be- side which the Senate of the United States pales its ineffectual fires, is opposed to women suffrage, and defeated a bill to establish it. Now, if Si'kak B. Akthokt doesn't emerge from that Senato Chamber with a girdle of dangling scalps around her waist, or nicely folded away In her reticule, she's not tho man we take her for. Ml Eoglextox dealt the Cincinnati Common Council a most unkind cut yesterday with the best of intentions. He said be had enjoyed experience in several legislative bodies, and could testify that the Cincinnati City Council was as pare as the Congress of Ike United States.

IHdn't the Congress Bis knew best abound in men who, when aepa- n(ad from the restraint of bis presence, blossomed into Credit Mobilier fame? Tax Senate's Committee of Finance and the House Committee on Banking and Cur- rency have each had the Secretary of the Treasury under interview to get at bia views of how he expects to resume and to continue resumption. The pother about the awbject has been considerable, and it all shows that the syttein, as Oie law now makes wrong, as all syatcrmi must necessity be that make coin the basis of a paper currency. Had we nothing but a greenback currency based on the credit of the Government exclusively, made legal tender for all debts public and receivable for taxes and customs, there would be no trouble. The simplicity of the system would not permit of any clashing. There would be pa adding to the bond debt to raise coin with -virh to redeem, do apprehension of oombU K.nV.

How much is that per capita of the population of the United States? The population of the United States for X878 is estimated by Professor E. B. Elliott, of Washington, at $160,499,832 would give $9 55 per capita of actual currency am(ong the people. Our volume of currency, according to the population using it, has not been so lowas to 55 per capita for twenty years; while in that period our population has nearly doubled, and bur real and personal wealth more than doubled. In 1858 our currency per capita, according to Professor Walk KB, in bis Science of Wealth, was $11 55.

Our currency now, had its volume kept pace with our increase in population and growth In real and personal wealth, should measure $23 per capita and over one thousand millions in volume. Counting the bank reserve, our outstanding currency would be $14 14 per capita, France has three times that, England double, and Germany nearly double. The extent and comparative newness of our country, the enterprise of our people, the outgrowth of popular institutions, and the absence of monetary accommodations aud facilities, so numerous in England, France and Germany, demand a larger volume of currency for our ordinary business operations, per capita, than do the populations of the countries named. And yet, we are told, there is as much money now as there is any necessity for. That may be true for the present sickly business condition of the country.

But we do not want business to be kept in that condition. If a man is sick and debilitated he doesn't need and couldn't use as much food as if he was well and active. We want the business of the country to be resuscitated, put in a healthy condition, and kept in a healthy condition. That can not be done by the debilitating system of contraction that is constantly going on, and must continue until after the first of January next, unless the pernicious Resumption Act shall be repealed. have received a copjT of a letter from Mr.

D. N. Stasttok to a journal in this city, touching a proposition which certain gentlemen whom ho represents have made in the mattecof the Southern Railroad. This is the letter: Copy. "Siw Toax.

April 4. 1E78. "I have read your paper of the 1st luiL with much Interest, aiid If you will allow me space, which I think I am entitled to, I would like to cay 1 am only too well aware of the fact thai I have not 'been fortunate tn all my yet in regard to the Alabama and Chattanooga Ballnad, whileI was largely Instrumental In negotiating the bonds of the Company, and also in obtaining a land Kraut from the Government, upon which Uie State of Alabama Issued her bonds for r. 000.000, both series of bonds bringing over ninety cents on the. dollar, and ths proceeds being used In building a road mile lung, yet I did uot have any contract upon the said road, neither did 1 have charge of Its construction, nor hare I had charge of it since; and I claim.

If misfortune has overtaken it, that It was not cau-ed by any fault of mine. I have an interest in the bonds lately Issued by the new Company (Alabama Great Southern), the Directory being entirely European, and I believe the road will prove to be one of the best la the Southern Plates. "If the City of Cincinnati should contract with me to complete the Southern Road, I shall try hard to fulfill the terms and conditions of the contract. H. Stakton." Tho proposition of Mr.

Stantos in this Southern Railroad matter was not based upon his individual responsibility. He is the representative of capitalists in New York, Boston and London, and his success or failure in previous enterprises is not involved. Mr. Stahtox does not pretend to possess the four millions of dollars which he is assured are behind him in makng his proosition. His individual responsibility does not appear in the weighing of his proposaL The assurances he gives are plausible.

He seems to have at his command the capital ho professes to have at his command. His offer should receive consideration in accordance with this fact. -We are by no means urging the. acceptance of the proposition of Mr. Stastox's friends.

They are not the only parties willing to be purchasers of this property. There are gentlemen in this city, there are two other moneyed cliques outside of this city, who are looking with greedy eyes npon this vast property. It should constantly be remembered that it is the property of Cincinnati. The value of this property is now unknown. Before the people of Cincinnati finally dispose of this possession, for which they pay about twenty millions of dollars, it is proper that they learn the value of it.

The public sentiment in Cincinnati as to the Southern Railroad is not in doubt. The common desire is for the speediest and cheapest completion of the through line of communication to Chattanooga. There is not the most implicit confidence in so rue of the present Trustees The temper of Cin cinnati is not against the road, but possibly against sortie gentlemen who have been prominent in its management. These gentlemen lobby against an investigation of their conduct, and insist that they are established for life in their comfortable places. Under the light now shed upon the matter, the proposition of Mr.

Stahtos should not bo accepted. Such a proposition, however, should not persuade Cincinnati to depreciate her own property. While several responsible parties stand willing to buy this road, which Cincinnati has bought and paid for, Cincinnati should not bo in haste to selL We are not urging as a permanent policy that this city should -go into the business of running rail roads, but we are insisting that the city should not give away or sacrifice a property for which it haa paid $16,000,0000 and must pay more. The majority of the people of Cincinnati do not believe that this road ia Mr. Fxaocsas a roaa.

iney ao not believe that he has a life ownership of it. a a The power to 'lease tne roaa is simmi equivalent to the power to sell It, The tax-payers of Cincinnati are not anxious to keep this power in the bands or Mr. eb-orsox, or those of some of his associates. We have more than once indicated the true Southern Railroad policy. It consists in the speediest and cheapest completion of the road, and in learning the value of it before it is given away or sold or leased to parties either inside or outside of Cincinnati- The Time tbe Enqwlrer.

There are two brief paragraphs, one about the rebellion in Cuba and the other at-ut the destitution In Panama. When the final triumph of the good is aamred, it not to be expected that there will be either rebellion or losses by fire. There are nearly three columns of dMpatcnes from towns In this State and others.

Balttmobje, April 5. The Police authorities have been engaged upio a late hour this evening investigating a mysterious diamond robbery which has created a social sensation here today. About nine o'clock this morning, a fashionably dressed middle-aged lady in deep mourning entered the Jewelry establishment of Canfleld Bro. A and asked to be shown some diamond rlugs. One of the salesmen placed upon the counter a tray of valuable rings.

The lady examined them, replaced thera on tbe tray, and promising to call again left the store. She had been gone but a few moments it was discovered that two rings, valued at 11,200. were missing, aud In their places had been substituted two rings somewhat similar in appearance valued at about $50. Word was Immediately seut to other jewelers, and while the messenger was In the store of Elmon Janamlts the lady came in and was shown some diamonds, which she examined and withdrew. Soon after she was plsced under arrest.

She stated that her name was Mrs. Alice Apold. and that she wss the keeper ot a boarding-house at Annapolis. She appeared very indignant at the arrest aud protested her innocence. At the lady's own request she was searched, but nothing whatever that: would implicate her was found.

It was soon ascertained that she was really from Annapolis, and kept a boarding-house there, as stated by herself. She belongs to one of Ihe most respectable families in the State. She said she came to tbe city shopping. As soon as her identity was established, a bearing was had in the case. Witnesses Untitled to tlio facts as given above, and Armixer and Welch, clerks in Canfieid's store, testified that the rings had been exhibited to no one else since yesterdny afternoon, and that they were all in the trny early this morning.

Justice Johns felt it bis duty to commit her fur the action of the Uraud jury, unless bail could be furnished. Mr. Otto Duker. a prominent citizen, to whom the arcuMnl is well known, was sent for and at once expressed bLs williuitness to furnish security to any amount. Ei.UuO was the sum named.

None of them can speak English, and it is almost Impossible for them to get" employment. Their story is that in 1876 several families near Dannie, Prussia, numbering 570 persons, were Induced to emigrate to Venezuela. They sailed from Antwerp on the 17th of September, stopped at St.

Before leaving home the em ig rants were assured that each family would be given a certain amount of land to live on aud cultivate: that the climate wiw the same as that at home, and that many advantages would be given them by the Venezuelan Government. I bey were sent 160 miles Into the Interior, but compelled to work at seventy cents a day. The laud was monntainous, and coffee, rice and euienr the Only products, which they did not know bow to cultivate. Ouo hundred and fifteen of the emigrants died within a few mouths. Families embracing four persons went back to Caraccas and sought employment.

They were told that whatever the agents in Germany had promised was none of the Venezuelan Government's business. The emigrants then went to Laguayra. and the Amcricnii consul there interested himself and secured pnseuue for them in the Hadji. Tbe united earnings of the forty-four persons amounted to (522, and that the master of the Hadji took, and sailed with the party on the 20th of March last. There are yet about three hundred emigrants in Venezuel.u If they have not died they are unable to set awav.

Superintendent Jackson believes the Steamship Com pan Kliould be buM responsible fob the support or" disposition ol the destitute emigrants it may bring to this port, and has served notice to that effect. The emigrant agent iu Antwerp, who is said to have searched the emigrants' pockets, is well known among seamen and shipping men here. He is said to be the who shipped a party of half-starved Arabs to New York a year ago, and also sent a. number of destitute Polish peasants here, who had to be seut home by the aid of charity.

The collapse of the firm of Holt A Bugbee, lumber dealers here, through the extensive forgeries of their agent, Joseph W. Bugbee, at Indianapolis, still continues the leading theme of comment in business circles.

It appears that in Indianapolis the forger stood high, socially aawall as politically. He was a member of the Church, and recently subscribed 1300 toward relieving the debt of a Methodist Church la that city. From Information received here to-day be went Into land speculations with a lumber dealer named Russell. He also Indulged In the luxury of a stock farm. He bought land on starting out at 1200 an acre, which soon advanced to 12,000 an acre.

Flushed with success, be built in Indianapolis what known as the Boston Block, at a cost of fSO.OOO. and soon after built another at a similar cost He was a temperance man, but yet considered by some to be fast. It appears that aa far back as last summer the forger sent for a man named Lyon, who has been haviue his office-room, and in his presence ana in the presence' of his mother acknowledged all. giving details of the forged paper he had made amounting to 1132,000. This coniession is now in the hands of Mr.

Holt. Bngbeo says his illicit transactions have been going on for years, he re newing notes from time to time, paying them off and uttering others, so that the firms whose names he used would not know his embarrassments growing out of his real estate transactions, which are believed to be the first moving cause of his Crimea The blotter In his offices In Indianapolis has been looked over to-day. and Is full of false en tries of sales, with memoranda saying "paid for bv note." which is believed to be tho forged; notes. he covering them by those alleged rules. It is thought that Bugbee did a legitimate business oi $25,000 a year, but has led Holt A Bugbee to believe that It was nearly il.OOO.OOa.

So far as is known ne used the name of no Indianapolis firm, and no In dianapolis bank loses any thiug by his transactions. Two veers ago he married a daughter of Rev. Mr. Hav. a- Presbyterian clergyman, to wnom ne a.u not intimate his business trouoies.

ne sin represented himself to be In good condition, safe in his real estate speculations, and In no complica tions. The total amount of paper of the firm held by the banks here, and which emanated irom me forgeries. Is now estimated at 229.063 54, but a por tinn of it Is uiDWMed to be good. The firm now have some hopes of meeting all their liabilities. provided that there are no other forgeries to be learned.

The firm's nominal assets amount to F232.000. and quick assets of $100,000 In lumber at Cambridge, 'which can be disposed of at the rate of S15.0UO per week. iney are iuujkbcu save at least tOO.00) worth of lumber at the Indianapolis yard. An Impression nM.v.iia iw that thn Indlananolia banks bsve se cured themselves by attaching the property of the forger ia that city, and Boston parties Interested feci that some portion of tbe forged paper held by tbem may be mot from the Mune source. Bugoee's motive in perpetrating the forgeries Is not fully apparent He exhibited uo little Ingenuity in executing the forced paper.

The forged signature were uniformly good, and such precise reproductions of the genuine that a careful i nTesti-gation has been made here to see how tbe wonderful similarity was produced. By the aid of a mfcro-scope it was found the names were first aced on the paper In pencil, presumably by placing the signature to be forged beneath the note and holding the two so that the light could strike through them from the back. The pencil-marks were then carefully inked over, when a few touche of rubber would remove any traces of the lead which chanced to remain In sight. The following were the amounts of notes to which the names of Cincinnati firms were forged, and all made payable to Holt A Bugbee: II. Clootermau, S1.583 16, 92.

To-night the creditors of the firm were somewhat startled by the iuteliigeu.ee that the forger bad suddenly disappeared from Iudiauapolia.

This news came from a good source, and the lacts, so far as learned, state that Bugbee, who was supposed to be sick, at noon to-day was found to have flown for parts unknown. It is learned here that bis business in Indianapolis has been doue through the Indianapolis National and Fletcher Banks, who are believed to have been also' caught. George Tanssey.

A. F. Lyon, and this last-named gentleman was dispatched to Boston to notify the firm for which he acted as agent. Thursday morning Mr. John Bugbee arrived, but prior to that time the forger disappeared, and none of the relatives have any idea of his present whereabouts.

They fear that ha has committed suicide.

In fact, he watched every dollar, yet he was not considered parsimonious, and was always ready and willing to help a friend out of trouble by the loan of credit or money. He was quite popular, and now represents his ward in the Common Council. Nothing in his demeanor or his daily walk and conversation excited the faintest apprehension of wrong-doing In tbe minds of his friends. He was known to be deeply in debt, and was supposed to bare been carrying about $100,000, but as be never seemed to experience much trouble in meeting Interest on commercial paper, his credit was good at most of the city ban its. Tbe banks are not very communicative, but it is understood that seoommodaUon paper to the amount ot about $29,000 is held by four or five local banking Institutions.

Fletcher A churchman are in for $6,000. and the Indiana Na- huonal for $6,500. Nothing tnat nas nappena tor years nas created such a sensation in business and social circles as the Bugbee forgeries. It was like a clan of thunder from a clear sky. Nobody suspected crookedness in any form.

The man had no small vices, and, so far as could be learned, no entanglements other than those of a financial nature. He did not gamble or speculate, InduUed in no luxuries, and was an exemplary son, husband and father. His conduct baa been so unlike that of a criminal as to be almost phenomenal. He was well liked by every person with whom be came in contact in a busi-nesa, social or political way, and the general sentiment of the community is one of pity and sincere sorrow. A gentleman returning nut reported meeUDg tbe tugiUve in Vineennes Thuisday afternoon, and that he was en ronte for Cairo, and, pre sumably, Texas.

1878. This has been a most brilliant week in New York. All the Broadway palaces of fashion have bud their spring openings aud have made most xnagniucem uiapiays oi nun anu vibiimii uutmiin. A novice in tbe art of fashion would be exceed-inrlv misled, even while examining the different styles shown in the various stores, to know which will resuiy prove lasmooaDie, tor no two enaoiisn-ments exhibit the same fashions. True, there is the same general effect noticeable in all a la mode costumes, but while one suit may be perfectly plain on tbe sides of skirt ana fun on the back ana rront, anoiner nouse snows a robe in the same materials with puffed sides.

elaborately draped back, but with absolutely plain front; still, bosh costumes are en and in Princess shape, with basques after the same model. but each with different garniture. Again, in bats and bonnets, we are told by one moat fashionable modiste that the most elegant hats ore to be elaborately decorated, that ribbons, laces, beads, plumes and flowers may be used on the same bat; while another artist of equal fame and acknowledged taste exhibits some of the meat exquisite but perfectly simple specimens of bonnets and hats that can be created. Lower priced No I These very simple hats cost considerably more than others far more elaborately gamitured. Imagine a brim of white chip, a thread lace crown piece, and brides, a satln-fooed front with rows of strung pearls, two pink-tinged roses and cluster of ostrich plumes representing $75) and sold, too, upon exhibition day.

KEW SHAFES. The "Petit MIrnon" is a most becoming shape. One after this style bsd an indented front of white puffed satin, which material formed the entire brim; tbe crown was delicately covered with pearled tulle, and the same light fabric edged with pearl formed the brides. A cluster of white ostrich tips, a roid and silver ornament. Completed the dainty gem.

While seeing this hat tried on by a most bewitching mademoiselle, we could not help recalling tbe pretty lines by Nora Perry: Tying her bonnet under her chin. She tied her raven ringlets in; But not alone in tbe si. ken snare Did she catch her loosely floating hair. For tying her bonnet under her cin. She tied a young man's heart within.

We find quite a variety of shapes, such as the "Cottage," always neat and becoming; the "Marie Stuart." the "Stanley," tbe "Marquise" and the "Mercedes." Chips, Tuscan and the English braids ore all in favor, and the fancy braids, to. come in for a share of popularity. Some iu black have rows of gold or silver braid sewed on the eriti-O su rface at iutervals of aboit an inch each apart others the gold and silver braid is plaited in with tbe straw, and has a bourette effect For children different colors are plaited in with black and white, the ribbon band and bow corresponding, of conns, with the color of the braid. Turbans and sailor hats ore most popular in these fancy braids. On all the bonnets for adults we find curtains; if not of chip or straws they ore made of the trimming, silk: or satin, or a shirring of the ribbon.

HAT TK1HMINOS. In hat trimmings the rich colorings of last winter ore not reproduced. No hue is positive or decided even the cardinal of to-day has lost its original objectionable flash, and is a rich, dark, desirable color. Moorish tints are in great favor; even the heath bl09oms have' tbe peculiar greenish shade, not exactly faded, but not at ail brilliant, and with the heath we find mother-of-pearl flowers, in most beautiful forconand delicate coloring; also satin and velvet leaves in subdued autumnal tints. Most of the ribbons are two-faced- and shaded or watered, either in satin and gros grain or velvet and satin, or gros grain on both sides, but in two colors.

Grenadines, too, are much used, but chenille sewed on crape Usee or tulle forms an attractive aud peculiar decoration. One can- scarcely realise the particular rage Just at present for glass beads. In rare Instances ore the so-called jet beads jet; they ore only glass; tne pearls are glass, wax-filled. In examining an assortment of crown pieces, fronts, and other bonnet ornaments, we found beads of pearl, large and small; jet, in black, blue and clair de lune, steel beads, bronze and amber, plain white glass beads, white clouded beads, and beads of old and new gold and silver. Mother-of-pearl hands hold loons of the illuminated or Iridescent beads, and when hats or bonnets ore trimmed to order the beads, as well as the ribbon and plumes, can be in colors to match the hues of the costumes with which they are to be worn, making the toilet very rich and effective.

COSTUMES AlfD STRAPS. The Imported suits and novelties of home manufacture are generally higher priced than those of last spring, owing not only to ihe rich nos of the materials, but to tbe expensive mode of- garniture, costly laces and bead -embroidered bands of velvet, enhancing the beauty, and greatly increasing the cost of a robe. brocades, embossed and embroidered fabrics heavy enough to stand alone are combined with plain sil ks, while some most beautiful novelties in suits are made of the eheney self-colored silks and pongees with trimmings and overgarments ef the new arntures, also of the American manufacture, in ail colors, to match the aidts. wiia lustrous surface erosaed by dark lines in contrasting in rail-fence pattern, with novel and agreeaole effect In some establishments we ffud combination suits of plain silk and cashmere; such suits always have the very much plaited and draped polonaites, fioct, aide sad back being in moss, held in place by eiab- o-ate loops and bows of ribbon, foch a rnl (rrlce 10 bad uuderakirt ef very, rich black si ik. dimmed with deep box-plaitrd fiouoce of sila the Intersection between the p.aiu bejns 11 led In bars of wato.ed silk or nobon.

Tho Jastieo of fTlffin Advertiser. The Republican papers are not pleased with Dr. Norton's Redistricting Bill, and are in tears over what they term the unfairness of tbe apportionment, What hypocrites the aforesaid organs must be I When aa apportionment was made by the Republican Legislature in 1862, they ornerouafv gave the Democrats five out of nineteen Districts.

AK in 1872. when a Republican Legislature redistricted the State, they gave the Democrat five out of twenty Congressmen. Not one Republican paper condemned these unfair acts. On tbe contrary. they exulted over tbe dishonest trick, and hooted at Democrats when they put in their protest.

But now that their ox Is gored, they see the matter in a different light and play the booby by whining over it. They should cease their hypocritical complaint and bear with patience whatever may be given tbem, although we do not believe that any redis-tricting bill will be passed by the present Legisla ture.
