Southern Pacific Railroad.

We have already mentioned the assurances
received from Marshall that the first twenty
.siic cSSssvu "a tfV s,sti.stE r-oNiItO patit usiu
would certainly be completed in full time to
comply with the conditions of the Texas char
ter. That time expires on the 10th inst.
Tuesday of next week. We have now the
great qualification of announcing that the
work is done, aud the ears running over the
whole line of the section. Official Intelligence
has been received 10 this effect by the officers
of the company here.
The condition which this work complies
with is found in the 18th section OF the charter
tapprovcd Feb, l6, 1922 which enacis that
III said railway shall not he commenced
within live years from the passage of this act,
and az least twenty miles th,-rvof are not com
pleted within six years, this charter shall be
null and void."s
Beside this result Of securing aRd perfect
Ing the t,sle TO the charter and lis privileges
this event brings within the range OF easy ae-
complishment another effect of vast iInport-
ance 10 this enterprise. by the land grants Of
the State, whenever twenty-five miles Of the
road shall have been completed aud put in
running order. the company b. comes entitled
TO sixteen sections of land per mile, or ESQ 900
acres for the twenty-five miles, and 10 a loan
of $4,000 a mile out II the school moneys of
the State
The company is, therefore, In strong posi-
ton for making It's arrangements for the fu-
ture The roaa has surmounted the firrt and
second trial. aud l. safsly invested with it,

frankly ak for public confidence aud public

The Plethora of Gold.

The accumulation of gold in the Banks
throughout the country since the panic is the
most remarkable financial event of the time.
The Philadelphia american says the aggregate
is now, as made up from the returns near to
January LIST, and since that time, fully eighty
five millions of dollars, or twenty-seven mil
lions more than at the LIST of January, 1857;
then the total in all the banks of the United
States, as made up at the Treasury Depart
ment, was S5S, 350,0O0; now, exclusive Of
States reporting eight millions of specie in
January, 1857, the footings are S16,500,000,
all from recently published returns. The re-
turns not here included are not accessible at
the moment, but we may be safe in suppOsing
that an increase, rather than deficiency in
the specie totals has been realised there also.
The whole probably exceeds $50, 900, 900 now
held by the Banks, exclusive of California,
an increase of S2S 900. 600 on the high sum
reached year since, during period of full
prosperity in every department of business.
The same paper adds
'The result nearest in the future is a rapid
decline in the price of money. Gold is so far
in excess of present wants that it rapidly and
constantly accumulates. Every city has ri
sing figure for the specie item, and there is
no immediate prospect of drain setting in
abroad, for the like accumulation is TIA
king place in England aud France. At
London the use of money has already
fallen to and ~ per cent, with little
or no custom at the bank. which is not
yet reduced so low, and it is anticipa-
ted that decline 20 y per cent, will
soon follow, as has already been the case at
that singular theatre of the PRESENT panics on
a specie basis, Hamburg. To what uses is
this excess Of gold TO be put? Business must
either largely expand, employing twice the
sum now employed, or gold must decline 80
much as 10 become u drug in the market.
Strange as this prospect would appear to pco-
pie fresh from the insane struggle for gold
which marked the late panic, it is the next
and certain phase of financial development"

j. Morrison Harris.

We showed few days ago, that if this gen.
tlenan had been in his seat, when the vote
was taken 10 refer the subject of Kansas and
the Lecompton Constitution To a special com
mittee. this scheme OF the black republicans
would have been defeated. We further show
ed that he was absent at the time, taking tes-
timony to sustain his right to his seat, which
had been contested by his democratic oppo-
nent and thus fixed the responsibility Of this
freesoil triumph upon the democracy. The
Union amt american eXclaims upon this ::
"The lamest excuse we ever heard of !"
Now, we submit it was not lame excuse, for
the very sufficient reason that it WAS not an
ercuSe at all. Our idea was the very opposite
of excuse : aud the fact stated renders an eX-
cuse impossible, because the act by which Mr..
HARRIS was forced from his seat was inexcusa-
BILE. Our neighbor will, we pray, believe that
we cannot devote ourselves to the fabrication
of excuses for the delinquences of sham-demo-
cracy We abhor the suggestion. 1t would
be an endless labor. as little suited to our
taste as within our abilities That work
comes more appropriately within the sphere
of the Jiiioa md american and its coad tutors
and their repeated failures should, perhaps,
warn them against the undertaking.
