PROGRESSION LIBHre's brow
made.
IT Is most unjust to denounce President
johnson, as Senator Wade has done, for the
failure to try and punish JEFF. Davis and
other oonspirators. 1t is well known that
the President was in favor of vigorous pro-
ceedings In several leading cases. But
Chief Justice Chase has uniformly declined
to hold court under the shadow Of martial
law-basing his action upon what he deems
sufficient and conclusive reasons. The be,
lief has been gradually forced upon the
minds Of thoughtful men, that It would not
he possible to obtain convictions on trials for
treason, and that under the circumstances it
is not desirable to attempt to do SO. So gen
eral Is this judgment, that even Wendell
Phillips, who at frat was fierce for blood
recognising In IL the sovereign panaooa for
our national ills, admits that 1t would be
unwise and worse than useless to initiate
prosecutions before civil tribunals. The Sen.
ator has shoun more than his customary
weakness. In choosing his point of attack.

An Impudent REQUEST.

The steamer Planter was used during the
war by the rebels to carry ammunition and
provisions from Charleston to Fort Sumter
She was seized by her colored crew and
brought out to our fleet This act of Robert
Small and his companions was one of the most
gallant of the war. The Planter was after
wards used by the government, as other prizes
were. ct
Now comes Mr.. Ferguson, of Charleston,
and applies for the steamer. as formerly his
property, "stolen from him by negroes" He
has, it seems, taken the amnesty oath, and he
makes this the ground of his singular and
most impudent demand. uuu Hf 2

permitted to avail himself of the Presidents

man who rushed into the street with red-hot
poker, and attacked by mistake stranger
whom he took to be his enemy. The stranger
satisfied HIM that he had attacked the wrong

ologized; "but," said he, "can you not pay me

apologized to the United States for attacking

New Hampshire Politics.

A leading citizen from the Granite State In
forms us that the Union men anticipate an
easy triumph on their approaching election,
which occurs on the 18th OF March. Cover
nor Smyth Is immensely popular with all class
es, while the Democratic candidate is one Of
the smallest party specimens; a man who
probably would not have been nominated had
there been any supposed chance for his cleo
ton Gov. Smyth's anticipated majority is
not less than 5000.
The legislature will no doubt be very large
ly Republican in both branches, and this sur
pins strength viii possibly encourage great
deal OF competition for the Senatorship. Mr..
Senator Clark-who has proved an able man
on the floor of the Senate-will be a candidate
for reelection, but the greed for honors and
the silly doctrine of rotation merely for rota-
tion's sake, may deprive op- sister State of a
strong man to make room for one who will
have to serve years in order to occupy the
same high position and to secure for his state
the game enviable measure of influence that
has been secured by the present incumbent.
There are at least two leading competitors
now in the field against Mr.. Clark Who will
win the events of June next will show.
The political waters in New Hampshire are
in very quiet state-as much so as they were
in this state last fall SO that small vote is an
ticipated. The newspapers and club room
politicians are the only excited parties. air

The Pacific Railroad.

The convention of government commission
ers, directors and engineers of the Union Pa
cific railroad, which commenced its sessions In
Washington February l, and adjourned on
the 5th, was called by the Secretary Of the In
terror to decide on a standard to which t1e
road and its branches should conform. The
Importance OF some standard is evident, as
with the six different companies chartered to
build the road and its branches, there would
be room for great variation, the law simply
calling for "frSt-class road" The various
railroad companies were represented at the
convention, by invitation OF the secretary, so
that there might be an expression of the views
of the managers Of the roads, and the result
has been the drawing up of a report stating
specifically what is considered a first-class
road by railroad men, and what will be aecep-
table to the government. Much emphasis IS
placed on so constructing the road that il may
ultimately be made perfect, whatever may be
immediate interests or necessities. Great care
is enjoined in determining the location of the
line, so as to secure the shortest route consist
ent with an economical grade to the most de-
slrable mountain passes; grades and curves
are to be settled on a principle of true econo-
my, and the permission given by law TO con-
slider the grades and curves of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad as limit, Is to be regarded
| only in q mountainous country where steeP
| grades and sharp curves are absolutely neces-
sary. Minute descriptions are also laid down
concerning the entertainments u.;Ia ana excava, ava
ton, the bridges, cross-ties and ralis, Iurnouts
| and buildinos: and locomotives and rolling
stock must Be furnished in liberal proportion
to the traffic, to be increased from time to
| time ne tbe increase of business seems to re-
nuire The board close their report by assert
ing their appreciation of the public desire for
haste and the Importance of accelerated move
ments in this great work; and give assurance
of disposition to favor and foster the oomps-
nies in going ahead just as fast as the work
can be done and done well. Every sign of
life shown by those who have the matter OF
the Pacific railroad in charge is acceptable,
and let us hope that now that this convention
has settled what must be done, the railroad
companies will 60 and do it. The popular
clamor for the road is growing stronger every
day, and it is having good influence; Whetn-
er those who have the management Of the en-
terprise fully realize their responsibility, now
ever, is vet to be seen. 1t is well for them II
thew do for the country will not wait for them
much longer.-ISpringfeld Republican.
