delighted with the tenor Of story con-
cerning Pierce, which has been whispered
around in Democratic circles here for
two days past. 1t seems that in the
middle Of last week some ardent friend
Of the Pacific Railroad bill approached
Pierce, in induce him 10 use his influence
with one or two Senators, whose positions
were doubtful in this connection, in favor
Of the cnactmen, Of the bill, of course. i.
Pierce answered promptly and emphatic
ally, that he ''had not been elected By the
people to be the President Of railroad,
but of the United States, and therefore
could do no such thing" HIS reply
reached the Senate chamber shortly
aile,ward, and is suppnsed 10 have settled
against the bill the votes of all the doubt.

and why that measure failed SO shorty
after its friends felt certain Of its triumph.
