The mcisaRO of Uie governor of New Yerk te tlie legislature Just convened, snenka among ether things of the work of the beard of railroad commissioners of thn state, which was organized In rebruary 1, 1883, under a law passed In 1882. These commissioners have a gen eral supervision of the railroads of the state. They inquire Inte nil complaints made against the companies and exnui- ine the condition of the reads, bridges and equipment. Every accident occur ring In any part of the stute is at ence reported te the beard. They find that from Feb. 1 te Sept. 1, 18S3, a period of eight months, 31 passengers were killed en railroads In the state, nnd 118 In jured ; of the empleyes 110 were killed and 300 wounded ; of ether persons 178 were killed and HO Injured. The most of the latter class were hurt at read crossings. The number of thcs9 cress ings in the state they find te be 0 SSI ; of these the number where the vlew of the railroad Is obstructed en the highway at 160 feet distance from the crossing Is 1,570. The beard has further considered the question cf freight rates and has some measures prepared te submit te the Leg islature. It has required the filing of quarterly reports by the railroad compa nies exhibiting their financial condition ; which the governor Justly considers a most important step towards ameliora ting the Injury done the country by Us preseut Irresponsible railroad management. It is certainly a most scandalous thing tbat ene man or one clique of men should be able te seize a great railroad property belonging te them but In small part, te wield it forthelrewn advantage, without any knewledge en the part of the stock holders of what Is being dene with their property; and sometimes without even the knowledge of the directors. See Jlenry Vlllard's case. The executive comtnlttee of the O. it T. company Is new engaged In looking into the assets of the company te see what it ewes and owns ; it being an actual fact that the company's own executive committee had no idea of Its debts or credits. Vlllard had been blludly entrusttd with the management aud the nominal managers! among whom was ene of the firm of Drexel & Ce., only aroused themselves te Inquire what he had been doing as they picked themselves eat of the ruins when the concern was wrecked. Certainly corporations which work under a charter from the people with special privileges and ercat powers, should be required te statedly report what they are doing that it may be seen that their privileges and powers are net abused. The books of all corporations should tie at all times open te the state's inspection. Every state should have a department especially charged with the examination Inte the working of its corporations. It is net only railroad corporations that need inspection and oversight. It is sad te think of thetime wasted during this year by the Pennsylvania Legisla ture that might have been se profitably employed In glvlug the people the pre tectlen they se sorely need against cor poration wrongs. There ure many measures loudly calling for a place en our statute book, aud it is a matter of the deepest regret that the present Leg islature is se Justly offensive te the peo pee peo ple as te make it inexpedient t ask its recall for their consideration. $131 or with n yearly rental of $7 per annum. Thus it has happened that n gentleman who rese te the rank of brig adier general in the late war, by gallant servlce for his adopted country, ba3 been disfranchised by the less of his property ; men who have represented the state In Congress are disqualified te vete through business misfortunes, and In ene instance a man of wealth who leaued all Ids citate te the government en its bends, found Mint. Uv thin net lin hail tlenrlved himself of the privilege of franchise. The result of this restriction Is that the vote In lthode Island is much smaller in pro portion te the population than In any ether commonwealth in the country. In explanation of the per petuation of this system a prominent Republican politician of the state has told a New Yerk 'lmc ropertur that It li!ii4 te the fact that "lthode island is net an agricultural state ; it Is full of factory villages, and the factory em pleyes are mainly Irish. They are Domecr.its. The abolition of our suf. frage restrictions would put us in the power of this class. Our great corpora tions would beat their mercy." There Is a refreshing frauknesj about this te say the least of It. It Is the old dectrlue of let him take who has the pewer and let hlra keep who can. Republican Pharisees, who clamor about methods of political ostracism and exclusion In the Seuth, will de well te study the Rhede Island plan nnd see what their party does te "keep solid" one of its most steadfast states.

Thh custom of making N w Year's calls Is rapidly growing te.u fashionable. Where afewyearsage Nesy Yerk and Philadel phU were alire with vehicles carrying the male adorer te the female a ered and adorned, a noticeablo quiet has settled. This custom, however, of devoting ene day of tbe year te calling en all of one's lady friends will never cutirely die out, it may be predicted, en account of its convenience in enabling the non-society man te keep up his acquaintance with the tair. Risner TntNEK, who presides as epis epis eopal chief of a colored diocese in Georgia allowed his zeal te outrun hit discretion when at the celebration in Atlanta, en Tuesday of the 2 let anniversary of uegre emancipation, he said that " the devil in hall could uet makn the distinction!! against negrees tbat are made in this country. " ThH altempt of an intluentlal elatls, whose word is doubtless potent among his diocesan subjects, te make the negre regard himself as a porceuted martyr, Is muah te be deplored. The late of tbe negte, alike with tbat of tlie white man, la in his own bauds, as true worth is bound te be recognized in tbe end whether ceucealed under a white cr black akin. The State Conventions. The pronounced popular sentiment of the Republican party In this state has been se unmistakably for Rlalue's neml nation for the presidency that the sup pression of that preference by the delega tlen te Cincinnati in IjAI, and the still bolder, though less successful, effort te defeat It at Chicago lu ISSO, very na'ur ally excited pretests which resulted in new party rules intended te prevent the easy success wltli which the Stalwarts have heretofore overridden the popular wish of their party. In the making of thesa rules, by both national and state authorities, howevor, there is a concur rence which may gl ve the wily politicians of the party uu opportunity te manlpu late the election of its delegation te the presidential convention in like manner aa heretofore. Under the national rules the state convention must be called "net mere than GO days before the national convention," which postpones it uutil after April 1 ; while under the state rules, adopted by the last Republican convention of Pennsylvania, 00 days notice of the state convention must be given In order te have time for cheesing delegates te It, and It must be held thirty das before the national convention, which would fix the tlme of the Btate convention at a date between April 1 aud .May 1, which Is very conve nient te the powers that be. As all the district delegates are meantime te be chosen by district conferences, con veutlens or county committees, and as a geed deal of work is te be crowded Inte a brief period, the mere dexterous poli ticians will shear the lambs again. The chief duty of the next Republican state convention will be te select six delegates at large and a candidate for Congress raanat-large. As Mr. Rreslus' candi dacy wa3 uet crowned with olectlen, though he ran ahead of Reaver or unv body olse en the ticket the nomination of his party for the same place will be conceded te him, no doubt. The Democratic state committee will meet iu Ilarrlsburg en January ia, te orgunize for the coming year ; ut the same tlme the tlme and place for the next stute convention may be chosen ; the Democratic convention this year will also be made interesting by the selection of six delegateu-at-large and the candl date for congressman nt large. ' Jloek Asuman, el the Philadelphia orphans' cenrt, has recently deliteied a decision of importance te physicians as te what constitutes a book of original en tries. Though a party may net in general manufacture evidence for bltnsulf, the law permits the introduction of a tradesman's book of original entries te prove his sales when the actual sale cannot be otherwise established. This rule of law Is the out growth of the principle that whoie prima ry vulence, or that which the nature of the thlug te be proven calls for, caunet be procured, seceudaiy evidence maybe substituted therefer. Rut suah records must oetnprlso all the incidents of cer taiuty of time, parson, labor and value aud oaeh entry must be completo in it self. Furthermore, hieroglyphics unintel ligible te anyone but the physician cannot be used te denote oharges, number of visits, etc, as such entries, besides giviug au opportunity te manufacture ovidenco in olio's favor, de net eoine under the pica of convenience or necessity. If, therefore, a pbyMaian detlres te avoid all controversy ever his bill, he will make a Bopirate en try of eaeh visit, nonsultatien, ete , the time when made and the eharga tuarofer ; and he will ba a wise man If he soei te it tint sueh entry carries en its faea its own explanation. death of Cel. Ratbbone's wife ami the desperate, perhaps fatal, wounding of himself, has te me a peculiarly painful nnd melancholy Interest. I knew Cel Rathboi'e well. Fer two yearn we tnei several times daily in the same classes, participated lu tlie same exercises, nnd were bound together by all these ties that uulte fellow ntudents and classmates. This was at Unleu college, Schenectady, N. Y , in 1830 nud 1837 ; aud In the latter year we pronounced our graduating era tiiuis from the same platform. I roinom reinom roinem bor him well a young man of slender frame, medium height, red hair, and very bright and expressive eyes. He was uet a close student and wm a peer scholar, but he had much literary culture aud a line dehvery, and he took tbe second " RUtchferd prize medal " at commence metit ; the llrst having been taken by Lewis Clark Seelye, new president of Smith (female) college, Mass. Like most students I kept nn autograph album, nnd ou takiug it down aud opening it, I tled the following lusonptien, written in a bold and manly hand : 'The best wishes evermore await you fmm vnur most affeotieuato friend and classmate, Husky R. RxTinm.vL. " Law ; c'.im of '57." We were both in Washington (lining the war, anil I ojeniooally nut huu. He was then known as Majer Rtthbone, aud I think he was iu the pay deptrtuieut of the army. His marriage te Miss Harris, nud his presence in Mr. Ltuelu's box at Ferd's theatre ea the night of the ass.is siuatieu have already been stated. Sluce then I have never met him and knew nothing of his subsequent life, except what this awful tragedy has brmght forth. 1 see that some regard the two tragedies as connected. I cau hardly bjhove that, but yet it may be true. Tha mysteries of the human mind are past rinding out. Cer tainly Henry Ruhbene, when I kuew him, gave no signs of an iusane tendency. He was of an exceediugly lively aud jovial disposition. I see it anted that he may recover ; it is te be hoped that he will net, for te live a maniac would be infinitely worse than death, and te live in his right mind, with the knowledge of what he has dene would be even worse than that, if worse be pe'slbla. .1.

A near relative et Cel. Rtthboue living in Ohie telegraphed CU.Uer Sherman asking him te SlwW the intervention of the department of state for the proleetiouof the children aud their aunt uuder alllictiug circumstances. An instructi'iu was sent te the United Siatts cen-iil at Htmburg te that effect. If Cel. It ithboae should recover sutli ciently from his belf indicted wound te realize the horrors of his own situation, it mar almost be assumed that he trill make no ellert te prolong a life deemed t-" the I I darkest misery ami te elanttug ropreaones Iu pretence of such a possible futurt', death would be a mercy. Cel. lUthbone was tainUiariy fcunivn here te u large circle of friend. He was a man of punctilious propriety, extromely sensitive, ambitious, aud proud. L'uder a pleasant exterior there burned a crater of passion, which had frightful explosions periodically, after which he became sub ilued nud sociable. In attempting te sciza the assassin alter the minder ei President Lincoln, Cel. Rathboue was stabbed iu thu bUeulder by Iloeth, and it is said he was haunted by the memory of that startling eieut. Id the erdiuary alTairx of life he gave no Hign of a dibturbed mind, but in the privacy of his heru& he was the victim of thesa peii edical passions which, whlle they laitcd, bad the form of emotional insanity. His habits were temperate, aud his mede of life was in every way decorous and becom becem iuc te nn e aiy fortune .Sirs. Rathbene was a woman of nunc ier intelligence and of deeuled character, fend of society, but sicriflcin no duty te its exactions. Slie may be said te have given tone te the social relations of the family, and te have raised the ambition of her uu fortunate husband. The lutelllgeuce re ceived here justifies the belief that the lives of tlie children were saved by the sacritioe of the mether in this awful de mestie calamity.
