Pacific RailrOad-Its Quietus.

The last overland mail brings us the
not unexpected news that the Pacific
Rail Road bill had been emasculated in
the Senate, and passed in that con-
dition by vote of 81 to 60 The bill
as 1t now stands. only requires the Sec
retary Of the Interior TO issue proposals
for the Northern and Southern routes,
leaving the central route as now, and
report to Congress at the commence
rent of the next session-the advertise
ment to be published eight months in
two papers of each State and the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Pacific Rail-
road has thus received its quietus for
the present. The vote demonstrates an
important fact viz: that the Democratic
party never meant, and never means to
help the railroad across the continent
Much as that party about election times
may profess to be devoted 20 the work,
it is clear that it is all for effect.
Democracy denies, as the Washing
ton States declares, the constitutional
power of the general government to
build railroad. The party cannot,
therefore, commit itself to the measure.
When the time arrives for erecting a
party platform, the Pacific railroad will
receive attention. The platform will
pledge the Democracy to use all con
stItutional means to construct a railway.
but it will always be accompanied by a
mental reservation that the party does
not believe Congress to have anv con-
stitutional power at all to build rail
road, except f-r military purposes, and
everybody regards the construction of
railroad for the purpose of bringing
soldiers to this coast as ridiculous to the
last degree. The intimation thrown
out in the last debate in the Senate,
that unless the road could be obtained,
California and the Pacific coast would
be likely to set up an independent re-
public, is puerile and deserves contempt.
California may plunge into revolution
to obtain her rights; but it will be a
political one. She will tumble the
Democratic party and its creed over
board and give her affections to party
which will entertain no constitutional
sc'uples as to the power of the govern
mont to proiect and carry on an internal
Improvement so necessary to the glory
and advancement of the whole Union.
Or. if those scruples cannot be overcome.
she will call for a revision of the federal
constitution, before separation, that the
great necessity of this coast and the
great work to America of the age may
be obtained Her loyalty to the Union
must never be questioned.

HEAT FROM THE STARs.-Dr. Lard
ner says-"lt is startling fact, that if
the earth were dependent alone upon the
sun for heat, it would not get enough to
keep existence in animal and vegetable
life upon its surface. 1t results from
the researches of Pouillet, that the stars
furnish heat enough in the course of a
year to melt crust of ice seventy-ive
feet thick-almost as much as is suppli-
ed by the sun. This may appear strange
when we consider how immeasurablv
small must be the amount of heat re-
celved from any one of these distant
bodies. But the surprise vanishes.
when we remember that the whole fir
mament is so thiekly sown with stars,
that III some places thousands ae crowd
ed together within a sIace no greater
than that occupied by the full moon"

The CONDEMNED MURDERKRs AT BALTIMORE
There was quite large number Of visiters at the
Jail yesterday, mostly acquaintances of the four
condemntd men and clsrgyinen, seeking to con-
sole and prepare them for their approac b nv
doom. Marion Crops was brought In from Tow
son own on'Sa'urdsy evening, and occupies cell
No. adjoining those Of Gambrill, Ford, and
the negro Cyphus. During yesterday he was
visited by some clergymen, and seemed for the
hrst time to evince the emotion natural to one in
bis position. He treated them kindly, and
seemed to prefer TO be alone but afterwards re-
ques'ed his father to send for the Rev Robert L.
Dashlell OF the Charles street Methodist Episco-
pal Church to visit him as his spiritual adviser.
MIR. Dashiell will visit him to-day IL his health
Will permit, he being just convalescent from
quite serious illness.
Since his sentence Crops has persisted In de-
ciaIins to his Jailors that he did not fire the
pistol shot, but admits that he was one of the
party who committed the murder He saws
there were six Of them altogether I'm the party
and that all escaped without being seen but him
and COrrie.
The negro Cyphus, sentenced to be hung on
the 18th OF February, still persists in denying
his guilt, and has made a favorable impression
as to his innocence on the minds Of many Of his
visiters. But II should be remembered that sew
sral witnesses who knew him identified him as
the murderer on the trial. and another has been
found within few days past, who saw him
after the commission Of the deed. His jailers
who have listened to his protestatons of inno-
cence to many parties now have no doubt of his
EuN o"h nv" nIs o"h COhuuCl anu language.
The fact Is, that II convicted murderer were to
confess his crime, IL would be so unusual an oc :
currence that 1t might be safe then to doubt his
guilt.
Gambrill aud Ford are still confined in the
same cell, and seem to be deeply penitent spend
ing most OF their time In singing, PRAYING and
meditation, receiving and conversiRg with all
who desire to see them. 1t is generally under
stood that the time for the execution of Gambril
will be changed, and that Cyphus alone will be
hung on the 18th OF February. The first reason
for this Is said to be an appeal made by Gam
brill to the Governor for more time 10 prepare
Tor death; the second is the repugnanee to the
hanging Of a white man and 4 coIored man to-
gether and the third the fact OF the direct con.
nection between the murder Of officers Benton
and Rigdon, and the completely OF the murder
ers, rendering their joint execution more appro-
pirate: The probability, therefore, Is that 6 am
brill, Crop, and COrrie, will all be hung on The
same galiOws. The fate of Ford seems TO he In
definitely postponed Bale. American

SPIRIT OF The MORNING PRESS.

The Union, speaking Of the decline Of pub
lie morals, asks who is responsible. 1t says
that great party, referring to the kepubli-
csns,) which seeks control Of the public I'D
ministration, proclaims its purpose to obstruct
the movement of the public machine, and uses
its power, not to throw responsibility upon the
majority, but to relieve its own members Of
obligation to perform their duties Of represen-
tatives of the people. 1t asks what else is it,
when the Republicans declare their purpose
as a party to cripple and embarrass the Ad.
ministration, and announce that they assume
no responsibility for 50 doing, than an abjura-
ton of their obligations as members of Con-
gress. At the door Of the Republicans, then,
Is laid the responsibility of the decline in
public morals. The same paper contains an
article on Mr.. Brsnch's report on the Cuba
question.

sional proceedings and news to-day.
