We propose ' to mention a few
features of the Reagan aud the
Senate bills for the benefft of our
readers. -' J :
. First, we are glad that Mr. Beck
has moved to strike out that fea
tore of the Reagan bil. which in
providingThat separate accommo
dalions tor Whites and blacks shall
not be deemed a violation of the
law, does in effect claim for Con
gress the right to make it the law
that to provide separate accommo
datious fur whites and blacks shdU
be a violatiou of the law. Congress
has the io er aud the right to reg
ulate commen-e between the States ;
but surely such a provision as the
one to which Mr. Beck objects can
not be intended5 to' recalate com
merce. It seems to us to be stretch
iug the Constitution when it is
made to cover such legislation as
t hat? ; The (blanket clause," as Mr.
Garland mi happily' dubs it,' ought
to be relieu upon, we mean oi
course the power to provide for the
general weltare, esc; . . - ,,
. Another provision of the Reagan
bill is that railroads shall not charge
more for a shorter haul than for a
longer one- that Is, let us say by way'
of illustration, shall not charge more
for hauling a; car load from Hunt
itigtori to Stannton tbanfor haul
iug a car-load from Hnutiugtoii to
Richmond. Is that a. wise provi,

J The Cereal Crops ' - : :
The oQcial statement of the
nnMin f a errirnlrnre . nlaces the
nt nlfiRfion of corn in 1834 at l,7o,
000,000 bushels, and hat of wheat
at nearly 513,00p.000 the largest
aggregates ever recorded A large
surplus will in either case remain
above the wants of the home mar
ket. France hs raised the duties
on American fc.ain and Germany
threatens to do the same, fortue
:irrririiltnral deoression in both
mtnntriis - la verv marked. " No
doubt a similar movement will be
agitated in Great Britain, : where
the questou of "Shall we grow
wheat tn is already being,
discussed. "Meantimeiur farmers
are almost forced to sell at the pre
vailing low prices, or find it cheaper
to use their corn as fuel or to cob
vert ii into hogs; t I
! Whether the ' low prices now
ruliug will so extend the consump
tion of ceieals as to make fc market
tor the surplus remains to be seen.
Such fcn extension wouia ne equiv
aleut to raising the staudard of liv
ing, and this if maiiitaiued, would
be of last iug benefit to" mankind.
