MONOPOLY TRlUMPHs.

In the teIegraphic synopsis Of yesterdays pro-
ceedings in the Senate, we read that
Mr. CHAypLER moved TO make the bill to regulate com.
between the several States the special order Tor

ton o. ccrtrn railroads. and would provoke great
deal OF discussion
Mr. CHAspiEB withdrew his motion.
MIR. Shelman's understanding of the matter
in question is not accurate. ihe bill referred TO
is not in relation to csrtain railroads" but APP
plies in terms to all railroads, aud simply pro-
ydes that the citizens Of other States shall! enjoy
their use es freely as those of the States in
which those roads respectively arc located; and
1t affects ore railroad-to-wit, the Camden and
Amboy-beeause that alone enjoys a strict mo-
nopoly of the privilege of carrying citizens Of
other across one OF the States-New-Jerseyh av.
ing thus iarmed out the right Of taxing the inter-
course between the two greatest Cities OF the
Union. This monopoly the bill before the Sem
ate is calculated to overthrow.
But Mr.. Sherman further understands that
this bill would provoke great deal of discus.

gentlemen in the Senate who are accustomed to
make speeches for pay. Who can doubt, then,
that this bill "would provoke great deal OF

jising TO consider it, Bear in mind that it
passed the House last Session, and has been
skillluly STAYED of in Senate up to this hour.
There has been time enough to consider it when
nothing else pressed; but then it was put of,
and laid over, aud juggled aside; and now it is
to be killed on the convenient prete1t of want

come to vote upon it; its enemies confesssdly
evade this by every finesse known TO discredit-
able legislation; and they are TO be rewarded
by success. Wo could wish that the floor man.

the locating" Is proposed, is demonstrated by
the fact that ,but comparatively few Of tho
hundreds of thousands Of shells that have been
used in riAed guns since this war began are
pretended to have prematurely burst in the gun,
but almost invariably have failed or burst, when
they have done so, prematurely in mid-air along
their GIT, through defective fuses or Indifferent
persuasive arrangements. Powder, to ignite
from the alleged cause. must ignite at the in
slant tie shell takes motion, aid thus would
have tendency to burst the gun at its strongest
part, while it is claimed that these explosions
only knock of the muyle-a circumstance which
has but very rarely occurred, and one that can
be accounted for in most cases upon much
more rational hypothesis.
We have noticed in this article but few Of
inc points which demand examination; but
these are sufficient to prove that there is gross
negligence in tho Naval Ordnance Bureau
that there is something wrong about the Par
rott gun-and that the Naval Ordnance Board,
having failed TO find out what that something
is, has handled the subject with gloved hands'
and treated the great riaed-gun manufacturer
with excessive official tenderness, seeming
rather to prefer that tho Nation and its defend
ers should suffer than the reputation OF one OF
its contractors, while exhibiting q marked anx-
iety to shield the official reputation of the Navy
Department, its Ordnance Bureau and lnspec'
