7I11.; RAILROAD WAR.

MISCELLANEOUS PEWS.

(From the We.4ern Railroad Gazette.)

The Missouri Democrat is inclined to treat the
contest between Gould arid the Penn•ylVan in humor-
ously. Here is a leader in the number for February
6 :—That man can have no soul at all for a fight
who ;foes •.ot take a lively interest in :he battle of
the railway giants. Thursday's despatches gave us
information of a new mai,cetivre, and within a short
time another great charge witl either prevail rir be
repulsed. On the face of things, there apnear four
great trunk lines between the East and West. • The
New York Central has an interest in the route from
Cleveland via Bellefontaine and Indianapolis to St.
Louis, and in another via Toledo and Springfield.
The Toledo route is unbroken ; the Bellefontaine
route is broken at Indianapolis ; for the Indian-
apolis and Terre Haute road, after a sharp fight
some time ago, was wrested from the control of the
New York Central by Ben Smith, and is now in the
interest of the Pennsylvania Central. Therefore,
the New York Central has talked, surveyed,
and threatened a new line between Indian-
apolis and Terre -Haute. M anwhite it has
its connections unbroken with Chicago. The
New York Central we shall call Vanderbilt. The
Erie, under Gould, has control of a complete
broad gauge route to Cincinnati and St. Louis, and
is now fighting for the control of routes to Chicago.
- A little while ago Gould and Vanderbilt were
fighting; now there is more than a suspicion that
they have united their interests for a common ob-
ject. The Baltimore and Ohio, having recently
secured the Marietta and Cie cinnati Road, has a
consolidated line to Cincinnati and connects via
Indianapolis with Chicago and St. Louis. But the
control of the Indianapolis and Terra Haute Road
was needed to make its line to this city complete,
and therefore it joined interests with Vanderbilt to
get that road. Beaten by Ben Smith, it probably
has an interest in the projected new route. Here.
then, are these powerful interests, virtually work-
' iug together, for what ? To cripple and destroy
the Pennsylvania Central—say Scott, " for short."
The Gould manoeuvre was to get. control, in the in-
terest of one or the other of the three allies, of
every road by which Scott could reach Chicaeo,
St. Louis or Cincinnati. Accordingly, the Atlantic
and Great Western was secured by Gould, and
the proposed change of gauge stopped; the Pitts-
burg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago was to be grasped.
the Columbus roads westward were to be seized •
and poor Scott, thus shut in on all hands, would be
deprived of all Western connections. Exactly,what
the allies would have done for the benefit of the
public, we do not k.tow. The first failure
was when the Ben Smith combination gained
the Indianapolis and Terra. Haute. Smith had
a road from Columbus to Indianapolis, then
another via Logansport to Chicago, and with the
Terre Haute Road. he became. a power in the land.
Hence the fight fur the control of Smith, in which
Erie was beaten. Scutt Ind Sinith have now joined
hands. The new line from this p tint to 'rerre
Haute will soon give the Pennsylvania a complete
route to this city ; with the Smith roads it has a
complete route to Chicago, and is now lighting for
L„..gislat"re'o_fanthtie
the control of the Colinnhus ind Xenia and Little
Miami, by which it con reach Cineintiati. So f .r,
then, Scott reeists all efferts to ite him up. Ther
reinaieed the great Pittsburgh, Fort Wa.,-ne, an 1
Chicago Road, his best lull most natural route to
the Northwest, the directors of which are now iii
the Scott interest,. The danger was that the Gould
combination would get control of the road. Stock
has been bought, proxies have been obtained,
agents have been sent to Europe to get control of

forgot that Scott not only owns a railroad, but also
a lecrislature. For, on Wednesday, a little bill was

the ew York people will be able to e!ecti only
one-fourth of the direct,rs this year, if they do get
a majority,of the stock, and will then have to hill
their so ck and proxies a year longer in order to get
control of another four. h, which puts Scott another
point ahead in the game. Meauwhile, a proposi-
tion has been made by the Little Miami to lease its
real to the Columbus and Xeeia, which is soon to
be voted on, and if that carries both roads will then
be leased to the Pennsylvania Central. Such is the
light as it stands. Guild is shall), Vanileeniii
strong, and the New Yorkers control a mint of
money, but. they find it. no easy job to kill off the
Pennsylvania Central. Aud, since competition is
the only hope of the public, we are vety glad of ir,
and hope that neither may succeed in crippling the
other. "Let us not have peace," but low prices.

THE PURCHASE OF IRISH RAILWAYS.
The supporters of the scheme for the purcl:
Irish railways by the State are still agitating
energetically in favour of its adoption. In Irelana a
large party has been found in favour of it. Of these
the Marquis of Clanricarde seems to be the chosen
spokesman, and he headed a deputation on
the subject to the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
He was supported by the Earl of Lucan, Lord
Claud Hamilton, Mr. Gregory, Mr. O'Reilly,
Mr. Blake, and Mr. M'Clure—M.P.'s all. The
Marquis of Clanricarde urged very strongly that
the Government should take the matter in hand;
and gave it as his opinion that if the Irish members
were canvassed they would nearly all express their
concurrence in the scheme. Mr. Gladstone, however,
has evidently enough on his hands for the present in
the Irish Church Bill ; when his mind is freed from
that he may be induced to take up the matter of
the railways. Until then we can hardly expect him
to burden himself. So the deputation could hardly
have expected more than the stereotyped promise of
full consideration of the question by the Cabinet,

Mr. Grant Duff has declared that the six lace of rupees
(nearly £60,000) and the supply of weapons granted to
Shere Ali do not partake of the nature of a subsidy. " No
formal conditions were attached to the gifts. They were
intended as a pledge of goodwill." Nevertheless, these
pledges of goodwill are quite a new feature in our Indian
policy, and beyond doubt mark a great change in our
Asiatic relations. Significantly enough, the Times pub-
lishes, simultaneously with the reply of Mr. Grant Duff, a
letter from its Calcutta correspondent, noticing the effect
of this present which is not a subsidy. Our money and
weapons have, in fact, given Shere Ali the victory. The
exaggerated rumours of the wealth which had crossed the
frontier have had a most important moral effect upon the
Affghans. Shere Ali is doing all that had previously been
left undone ; he is paying up the arrears of his troops,
greatly increasing their numbers, returning forced loans
for the first time in Affghan history, and planning the
reduction of the outlying provinces around, so that he will
front the Russian outposts on one side and the Persian on
the other. He has returned to Cabul in triumph, the city
was illuminated, and—indispensable item of Asiatic
rejoicing—enemies blown from guns. Trade has revived,
and the conqueror is master of the country.
A definite treaty is talked of. Possibly this
valuable testimony of goodwill would have been prema-
ture had it been accorded sooner ; possibly it might have
saved much anarchy in Affghanistan, and prevented
many political intrigues. But it is idle to assert that the
gift means nothing more than friendship. It means that
the Indian Government is making an attempt to esta-
blish its influence in Affghanistan, to the exclusion of
Russia.

made a deterwieed and thorough exatnini.tion of
the subj,ct ; but now it is all as clear as mud
to us. We know all ago it it, and are enabliat
to make our readeis understand it too. You
see the Ailatitie and Great Pen Handle Rail
road Co. having leased the Sharitsburg Cut-eff
together with its connections (including, of course,
its uticl, s, aunts, cousins, and their connexions), so
as to control the traffic over the Harrison Pike, it
became necessary for the Pittsburg, Fort IVayne,
and Chicago Railroad to buy up the capital stock
of the Hamilton, Indianapolis Central, and Little
Miami, if they could hope or expect to maintain
their hold upon the trade of Licking River and
Duck Creek. Another object was to get.into the
Cleveland Union depot at St. Paul in advance of
Alex. Hamilton's stages. Then the New York
Central (Park) Co., holding a majority if the stock
iu th. 3 Pt meaylvania Southern and Northern Alaska
Railroad, executed a flank movement by leasing the
stockholders of the Susquehanna and Chesap-ake
Canal, thi reby securing a direct broad-gauge route
from the Isle of St. Thomas, to the foot of Fifth-
street. This, of c airse, necessitates the buying up
of Fifth-street Ferry Dock property, or the con-
struction of a bridge connecting the Union Bass
Ball grounds with Ede. Park —a harmonious
blending of the East and \Vest-eud interests. Van-
derbilt, who wants to be considered the " Colos-
sus of Rhodes"—that is to say, of the rail-roads—
is detertniiwd to cut off the Pennsylvania Central
from the North-west. He sent a man up there,
Feb. 12, to cut it off. but the result is not yet known.
The Pennsylvania Central immediately turned
about and gobbled tip the Jack Noble Dug-hill
Railroad, and then effected a lease of the old and
d---d liable Co-du-Roy R.R., by which move
they cunt-lite:ly monophliz...d the commerce of Che-
voit, fanning the only direct line between that
flourishing section and the markets of Europe.
There was considerable excitement at the sale of
the Dug-bill road, which took place yesterday.
More stockholders voted than were on the
books of the company, and, on examination, it
was discov,.red that one was a whip-stalkhol-
der (a low stage driver) ; another held no stock
except an old-fashioned one he wore around hi
neck ; another kept a stock-yard, while a fourth
was simply a holder of old stock ale—the heaviest

THE DISMISSAL OF MR. EDWARD WATKL\':

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Feb. 23

The 137th anniversary of Wasbingtou's birth-day
was celebrated here yesterday under the auspices
of Consul-General W. W. Murphy, by a ball and
soiree at the Hotel il'Angleterre, which was appro-
priately decorate 1 for the occasion. More thin
150 ladies and gentlemen were present, and among
them almost all the representatives of the foreign
Powers here :—Count d'llell, the French Consul-
General ; Count de Castellinaid, the Italian
and Senore Antonio Marquez Soares, the Bra-
zilian Consul-General ; Theodore Kucken, Esq ,
Consul of ber British Majesty; Baron Bernath, the
Belgian Consul ;
.H. Musson., Esq. (of the cele-
brated champagne house), the Danish Consul ;
further, General von l3oyen and his lady, a Prin-
cess of Li,gasdz, relation to the Royal House of
Prussia ; General von Frankenberg-Ludwogsdorff,
Major-General Hans von► Schachttneyer, Colo,Jet
Count von Rass, Herr you Mactir, the chief of the
city authorities; Senator Dr: Supf, of the Senate
of the late Free City of Frankfort, and others.
Auougst the ladies was Mrs. Schurz, the wife of
General Carl Schurz, the newly-appointed Senator
for Missouri. The music of Barlow's band added
to the amusement of the younger people, especially
for dancing, but also played a difficult divertisse-
ment of a new cotillon, after the late French
fashion. The supper did honour to the well-
known taste of Mr. Berthold, the attentive landlord
of the Hotel de l'Augleterre. The refreshment
rooms, opposite the drawing rooms, were furnished
in the most elegant, abundant, and tasteful manner.
The entertainment was kept up till the morning
hours, and with an enthuzdasin which proved the
interest of those present in the memory of the
greatest patriot the world has ever seen, and the
Father of the American Fatherland.
