The Senate yesterday passed bill increasing
the amount of bonds to be issued in aid OF the
Construction of the Pacific Railroad and
branches to 800, 1000. That is enough
to build those roads if economically cx-
pended. The measure is thoroughly afro
cious, and the Committee that reported 1t
ought to be indicted. The Pacific Road, care
fully located and frugally built, will pay iair
interest on its construction, from the time 1t Is
half done--and if Congress had adhered to i'f
original offer to aid it by the loan of the Ma
tional credit to the extent Of $4,000 per mile
(say $50, 0OO, 600 in ally to be secured BY firs'

would have done quite enough. We regard

The preparations for the celebration on SatuT-
day promise to make it worthy of the occasion,
and there seems very general determination,
on the part of the people, to enter into 1t with
heartiness and to use the day as one Of real
rejoicing. The fact that the 4th of March Is
chosen for this ovation over Union victories Is
seized upon by some of the partisan presses to
dampen the popular enthusiasm. But such
efforts will be unsuccessful. All who really
rejoice that Charleston is no longer Rebel
stronghold, that Savannah is ours, that the flag
of the Union again floats over Sumter, that
Fort Fisher is fallen and Wilmington taken,
will not be deferred from showing their joy,
because on that day Mr. Lincoln ia second
time inaugurated as President. Those who for
that reason abstain from taking part in the
celebration, only make it pretext to escape
from manifestation Of satisfaction which they
do not feel.
