WhiA o 4 90213344190ti9i1p W.,ty in Warm) d ME UNION PACIFIC RA[LwAY. 'The following extract from the report of John J. Cisco, treasurer of the Union Pacific Railway Company, gives many items of interest :-- "The prospective value of the Union Pacific Railroad, as a promoter of emigration and of in creased production of the minerals of the West, is beyond question. But its value and profit as a na tional undertaking are by no means confined to the future. Each year of its operation, even in its un finished state, insures direct, unequivocal profit to the national Treasury, as the following figures, furnished by General M. C. Meigs, United States Quartermaster-General, abundantly proves. Previ ous to the building of this continental railroad, all Government freight, consisting chiefly of supplies for the troops on the frontier, was carried by waggons under contracts given to the lowest responsible bid ders. At the time of the Mormon war the annual expense of maintaining troops upon the • plains amounted to about $l,OOO per man, most of this sum being chargeable to transportation. In 1836 waggon transportation upon ' Route No. I'. (the route now occupied by the Union Pacific Railroad) cost au average of 28.4 cents per ton per mile. In 1867 an average of 39.4 cents. was paid for similar service, while, on account of the increased distance, for the season from Jan. 1, 1868, to March 31, the lowest contract that could be made was for 50 cents per ton per mile. The average tariff of Govern ment transportation over the Union Pacific Railroad is 10.01 cents per ton per mile, but even this is in excess of the actual cost, as may be seen by the fol lowing extract from a letter from Quartermaster- General Meigs, under date of September 1, 1868 : " < It may properly be assumed that the average rate per ton per mile charged by your company, 10.01 cents, being based upon your r published tariff rates, is somewhat in excess of the actual average rate paid by this department for its transportation, owing to the fact that the greater portion of the freight carried for it is comprised under the lower classes, and that ten and one-half (10.5) cents per ton per mile would approximate the rate actually paid.' " The amount paid by the Quartermaster-General to the Union'Pacitic Railroad in 1867, for Govern ment transportation, was $699,698.81. Had this same freight been transported by waggons, at the contract price for that year (39.4 cents), the cost would have been $2,625,536.41. In other words, the money actually saved, in one year, in the transportation of Government freight with the road in operation for an average distance of but three hundred and eighty-six miles was $1,925,837.60. As has been stated, one -half the company's charges against the Government for transportation are paid in cash, the balance being credited toward the payment of the United States bonds and their interest. The United States Treasury Department officially reports that the total amount of interest which had been paid by Government upon bonds issued to the company up to Juue 30, 1868, was $764,655.75. The amount paid by the company on account of the above charge to the same period was $615,914.58, with a balance then due from the War Department of $55,229.42, one-half of which was applicable to the payment of the interest account. It will therefore be seen that the Go vernment has actually paid out only $121,126.46, which itself will probably be more than paid by Government transportation during the present year, while its actual saving in one year's transpor tation was almost two million dollars. As the rail road is rapidly carried forward, the amount of its Government service and the corresponding saving to the Treasury will increase even more rapidly, while in other respects the national gain will be equally manifest. By the building of the road and the emigration which it renders possible and pro fitable, the value of all Government lands along its line will be increased beyond present com putation. Lands which before were entirely in accessible, and therefore worthless, are now brought into direct connection with markets whose demand for all productions of the soil will steadily increase, while those sitting near the town sites established by the company will at once become of very great value. The population thus supported and encouraged by the railroad will not only swell our agricultural and mineral productions, but, if the present ratio of national taxation be kept up, the people along the line of the Pacific Road will, in ten years' time, pay not less than $10,000,000 as annual tax into the United States Treasury. In short, it is safe to assert that this railroad will prove by far the most profitable of all the internal improvements ever aided by Government." The Cheyenne Star, of Sept. 22, thus writes : " The astonishing progress made by the Union Pacific Company, in the construction of the great national highway, as well as that of the California Central, confirms us in the belief that trains will run from New York to San Francisco before the close of the summer of 1869. It is said that the Central Pacific Company are moving with almost miraculous energy to reach Salt Lake before meeting the Union Pacific. In opposition to this, we are advised that the latter company will commence grading at Humboldt Wells as soon as the force for that purpose can be got there. They will, of course, work eastwardly from that point. In connection with this, we will say that the California Central are about to com mence work at the north end of Salt Lake, and this has led to a telegraphic correspondence be tween Dr. Durant and Governor Sanford, Presi dent of the C. P. R. R. Company, or rather to a telegram from the former to the latter to the fol lowing purport If we lay any track on your grading, we will pay you for t he g radin g . If y ou lay any on ours we won't cha r g e y ou a cent for it. If this be true (and we have no reason to doubt it, for it is so exactly like Durant), we have the ut most confidence to believe that the Union Pacific will be built to Humboldt Wells, on the Hum boldt river, and will there meet the California Cen tral." The Mormons already begin to cry out at the effects, and ono of their papers innocently asks the tide to flow on, and not to contaminate their sacred settlement by any deposit. The natural result is to induce the more to stay, and therefore the " saints" every day find themselves face to face with more and more sinners. If this happens be fore the railway has even been graded to Salt Lake, what will be the state of things when the two branches meet in their Jerusalem ?

The French people are martial, but they are also commercial, and appreciate the enormous waste of overgrown establishments. At the same time h is but candid to acknowledge that France has, if not greater reason, at any rate greater temptation, to collect her strength at this moment than in former days. The old proverb said that when France was satisfied Europe was tranquil; but recent events have given it a certain contradiction. France was satisfied enough in 1866; and yet Europe was not tranquil, but convulsed by a war between the two great Powers of Germany, the result of which left the French with some excuse for dissatisfac. tion. . To look at these questions fairly we must remember that different States may stand in very different positions. We ourselves, for instance, are apt to claim the credit, as far as European politics are concerned, of absolute inoffensiveness. We desire no con quest, we have not so much as a dream of territorial aggran disement, and we hardly retain any wish even for national " influence." This is all true, but then our neighbours will tell us that it is all very natural. We can well afford, they say, to be content, because the great wars of the Revolution left us in the p ,sition of conquerors with no other object than to keep what we had got. Gibraltar was still ours, and Malta was ours, to say nothing of colonial acquisitions and the empire of. India. France, on the other band, vas stripped of her conquests and confined to " unnatural" frontiers, so that her acquiescence in the status quo could hardly be expected to be as willing as ours. Prussia is content, having got all or more than all she aimed at getting ; but Austria has far less reason to be satisfied. The Italians are bent upon the possession of Rome. But, as a general 111114ay safely believe that all States in the present ay a impressed with the dangers of war, and the ruinous effects of those prodigious armaments which are accumulated by anticipation in a time of peace. In fact, as Lord Stanley said, the system must sooner or later break down under its own weight, and leave those who persist in it with the simple alternative of repudiation or bankruptcy. What, then, is to be done? We can only say that nations would do well, at any rate, to turn themselves towards the principles advocated by Lord Stanley, and set their counsels in the right way—a scheme all the more practicable inasmuch as recent revos lutions have been in the main beneficially directed. We must accept accomplished facts. The reduction of perma• nent armies and military expenses can only be the final aim of the great Governments of Europe. Armaments are now felt to he such intolerable burdens that nations, we should hope, will discern and follow the true way of escaping from the calamities which they entail. The Herald says it might be well for the English Radicals, habituated as they are to borrow their principles and their policy from America, if their leader had had the prudence to emulate the " brilliant flashes of silence'', which characterise the gentleman who, for the time being, holds the same position in the United States. At last, but somewhat late, Mr. Gladstone appears to have been made aware of the uselessness of the elaborate speeches in which he has exposed the weakness of his cause and the dangerous character of his policy, and, taking example from General Grant, to have resolved to impose upon himself a wholesome abstinence from rash promises and still rasher imputations. His retirement from the stump is formally announced; and we doubt not that his friends will do their best to induce him to adhere to his judicious resolve. The occasion is a suitable one for inquiring what has been the result of his oratorical efforts. It is a somewhat meagre one, and he has not answered his opponents. Mr. Gladstone's assertions are as noteworthy as his omissions. Never were facts and figures handled with such audacious skill. The Irish Church is the sub- ject of mystifications that seem almost incredible. But the most astounding of all the exhibitions of a courage not wholly honourable with which the Liberals have lately entertained us, is the statement that Mr. Gladstone has a policy and Mr. Disraeli has none—because the former proposes to destroy the Church in Ireland, and the latter prefers to maintain and to reform it. If Messrs. Bradlaugh and Odger propose a general redistribution of property, are we to be told that those who maintain the existing law "have no policy?" We might say that the exact reverse of the Liberal statement is the truth, except that Mr. Gladstone may have a policy which he does not think it prudent to avow. The Daily News thinks the people seem thoroughly to understand that one of the questions now before the country is whether government by a minority which steals the measures of the majority shall be the rule in England. Popular instinct credits the Liberal leaders with the in tention of submitting this question at some very early time to the new Parliament by asking it to declare its want of confidence in Mr. Disraeli and his Ministry. Accordingly, Liberal candidates are often asked whether their fidelity to Mr. Gladstone's leadership can stand this test. Mr. Roebuck, however, is one of those Liberals who support liberal measures without supporting liberal men. He will not join in a vote of no confidence in Mr. Disraeli's Government. He is ready to agree to the disestablishment of the Irish Church, but he will wait and see whether Mr. Disraeli will do it before he joins in calling Mr. Gladstone to the task. Should Mr. Disraeli treat the Irish question as he treated Reform, Mr. R oebuck will help him. Unfortunately for Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Roebuck stands almost alone among the Liberals. Almost everywhere besides Sheffield a resolve to end the" organised hypocrisy" of government by a minority is a test of Liberalism. Liberal-Conservatism is a sham which con tact with the new constituencies explodes at once, but Liberalism which is content to let a Conservative minority carry the liberal measures it has bitterly opposed, and keep the places which liberal men have won, is a still greater sham. Conservatives may support such Liberalism when they have nothing better to hope for, but the in stinct of popular Liberalism at once feels that it has nothing worse to dread. _ The Standard remarks that the Times must evidently be the father confessor of certain statesmen, for nobody else was aware of their intentions, concealed alike from their colleagues and from Parliament, and now first revealed to a wondering world. The only comment we will allow ourselves to make is this, that as there is not ono sentence in any speech or writing of Lord Stanley or Mr. Disraeli which affords the slightest warrant for attributing to them the plans which the Times knows them to have entertained, our contemporary must either have received its information directly from them—of the likelihood of which everybody can judge—or asserts as facts what it knows to be the contrary. With regard to the boast of the Times as to the large Liberal majority at the next election, the Standard has too good reason to believe that the general election will give us a Parliament determined to maintain the Irish Church, to need to indulge in the extravagant expressions of confi dence with which our opponents endeavour to keep up their own courage and that of their friends who are not in the secret. We will make no promises of enormous majo rities, and profess no fear lest the Liberal party should not be represented in the next Parliament. We are con tent with our prospects. We believe we shall beat out opponents ; but of this there is no doubt, that the Conser vative party will be stronger in the new than in the old Parliament. There will be no " wasted band of Conser vatives, dragged hither and thither," a " sad spectacle" to the eye of the Times writer. The firmness of the Con servative followers " will defeat his prognostications," and, in defeating them, disappoint his hopes. The Telegraph comments upon the altered position of Mr. Bright. He can now command one of the highest seats in any Liberal Cabinet. He can do what no other living Englishman has done, excepting Mr. Disraeli ; he can become a Cabinet Minister of leading political rank, without ever having served in a subordinate capacity. If ho take office, he will not only command deep popular confidence not only remain a popular leader of his own party in Parliament, but will be cordially accepted by " our friends the enemy" as one of the fairest and fittest representatives of Liberal opinion. Such a position has been won by a man who owed less to birth and to connections than even Mr. Disraeli himself. The author , of " Vivian Grey" was a spoiled favourite of London society, and had made scores of influential friends when he turned to politics ; Mr. Bright has won his way upwards from the ranks of trade by sheer hard political work ; while his religious ante. cedents were almost as unfavourable as those which are supposed to have retarded Mr. Disraeli's advance. It is noted that Mr. Bright's triumph is not due to the success of the popular cause alone, He has often directly opposed the popular will. The first English Ministry that counts John Bright amongst its members will command a joyful and attentive hearing for all it says, and a generous interpretation of all it does, in Ireland, in our colonies, in India, and in the United States ; in fact, wherever our flag flies and our tongue is heard. It will be a curious rebuke to the old partisans who called him un-English, and an enemy to the empire, to find that his influence will then be imperial, and so happily used as to unite all parts of the empire in closer and in nobler bonds of interest and of love. TURNPIKE ABOLITION.—An Act of last session provides for the expiry, on the Ist of November next, of seven provincial trusts. The most important abolic tions will be those at Hereford, Bury St. Edmund; and Devizes, on account of the keen parliamentary contests which they encountered. The Devizes gates surrounded the approaches to the town, and the " free dom of the road" is to be marked by a banquet and a bonfire, for which latter purpose two of tha obnoxious gates were purchased at the pale of the trusi property.
