u Some of the reasons given why Northern
Wings voted to lay Roots resolution on the table are
amusing enough. One paper says that they did so
because Root moved the resolution for the sole pur
pose of entrapping them to vote against it. SO as to
make political capital against them The plea is
lie, but, if it was correct, the proper way 10 block
Roots game to vote for the resolution not against
it. Another calls the resolution premature. This
could not have been the reason why some voted a.
gainst it who had sustained it a month before. One
of the leterwrters says they voted against because
it was mere abstraction. 1t was not, but. if had
been, the passage of the abstraction in the House ESQ
Clngman and Mason say had prevented shareholders
from going to California with their slaves. 1t was
very useful abstraction. The same writer saws that
the proper time to apply the Provso is when the ter
ritorla bills shall be reported But this action NAV
prevent any bills from being reported. The Taylor
policy may be concurred in. Again it is said that
Root had been connivng with the Locofocos to de-
feat Wing organisation of the House (ths is lie
like the others-so the Wings voted against the Pro,
vlso out Of spite So, in order to punish Root for
joiniag theLocofocoes these Wings themselves ;oin-
ed tie Locofocoes! A grand reason, indeed. An
other reason, and the corrct one is that in voting
against the Proviso, they were following out the RE
commentator Of the President, endorsed b., Tho
Wing newspapers. That is the best reason vel gv-
en-it is the true Que, and throws the blame unon
the President, and the Wing papers which have so
unanimously approved ofhis Aon-intervenon scheme
Let them get over it as they can.

CALIFoRNIA.-There are six steamers running now
between New York and Chagres, as follows Howard
g. Co.'s Line Empire City and Crescent City: George
Laws Line, Ohio and Georgia; Rowland & Aspinwa'.
Line, Cherokee and Philadelphia. The New York
Tribune gives the following information in regard
them The price of passage by the Rowland line is
$65 in the steerage, and $50 to $125 in the cabins
The steerage passage includes mattresses and board
The prices by the Law line are state room berth, $780,
standee berth, $780, steerage, $50-also including bed
ding and board. By the Aspin wall line, after saloons
1925; forward saloon, 800; lower cabin, $50. The
prices by the Law line lower than by the Others
because these steamers do not 60 direct.
Between Panama and San Francisco there are ten
steamers running, will be follows:-How.
land Aspinwall' Line Oregon California Unicorn,
Panama, Tennessee, and Carolina; Howard & Sons
Line, Sarah Sands and New Orleans; M. o. Roberts
Line, Columbus and Isthmus. The prices on the Pac-
c the in all the above steamers-frst cabin
$500; second cabin steerage, $780, Passengers are
allowed ten cubic feet ofbaggage. Freight in the How
ard Line is taken at 81 per foot and suppose in the
others at the price. The Aspinwa steamers are
full, on the Pacific side, up to May. The Howard
steamers also full May and it is doubtful ifa steam
passage could be obtained from Panama until after April
We believe that sailing vessels are running between
Panama and San Francisco and passage can be obtain
ed at from $50 to 5000.
