THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

The board OF directors OF the proposed under
ground railroad will soon issue statement OF tho
progress Of the undertaking for the Information OF
the stockholders and the public. 1t Is not decided
as yet when active operations will commence or to
whom the work will be entrusted Three Of the
directors are now in England comforting with the
parties who constructed the London Underground
Railroad and others with the view OF agreeing on
plan by which the New York directors may benefit
by the experience gained In the construction of the
London road. The board here Is in Geographic com.
municaton with its representatives on the other
side, but 1t lie not yet known whether the offer made
by the contractors of the London Underground Rail-
road some three months SINCE to build q similar
road In this city, has been accepted.

The Union Pacific Railroad.

There seems to be difference Of opinion
between the government Commissioners and
one of the directors of this important national
work as to the mode of its construction. The
Commissioners, Messrs. F. P. Blair, Bauford
and White, declare that the portions which
they have examined are built strictly accord
ing to law, while the dissatisfied director says
that the road is miserably built and that the
culverts are imperfectly bridged. It is stated
also that the road has been run many miles out
of its direct track in order to avoid the expense
to the company of bridging ravines and cut
ting through mounds or elevations in the
prairie, while at the same time the govern
ment subsidy per mile is claimed and paid on
some portions Of the track where at least sew
enteen miles to the hundred have been added
to the direct route. All these allegations it
was the duty Of the government Commission
ers to investigate and report upon. That they
have not done so, but, on the contrary, have
represented the work as done in an entirely
satisfactory manner in compliance with all the
provisions Of the contract, may warrant At
torney General Evarts in deciding that the
only legal evidence which the government can
receive is the report of the government Com
missioners, and the subsidy must be paid &C
cordingy. But the idea is suggested whether
these Commissioners have faithfully performed
their duty; whether they have been wide awake
during their survey of the road +; whether they
shut their eyes while passing over the imper-
feet bridges and trellises, supported only by
bank Of sods, where there ought to be but
tress of stone. 1t is the duty of the govern
ment to see that the Commissioners are not
negligent or too easy in the performance Of
their duty.
1t is undoubtedly desirable that the Union
Pacific Railroad should be completed as soon
as possible, for IL is a magnificent enterprise.
There is hardly an interest in the country that
is not involved more or less in its success, and
this is an additional reason why 1t should
form the subject of special attention from the
government, and why its safe and economical
construction should be insisted upon. in view

The English Observation-Disclosures Prospects.
The tone of the English press, as will be
seen by the extracts which we have been Civ
ing from time to time, is becoming more and
more decided. The opinion is now general that
the direct and pointed policy of Gladstone is to
be successful at the polls. The London Times
and the other leading journals are trimming
their sails for the change. 1t is not desirable
to be out Of favor, and as the Disraeli chances
seem smaller than they were the journals are
preparing themselves for the new authorities.
1t will not surprise us to find that Mr.. Disraelis
enemies have miscalculated, and that out OF the
rich resources of the Jew Premier something
may come which will defeat all calculation.
We are by no means satisfied as yet that Dis
raeli must be defeated. After all, however,
1t matters little which shall be the successful
party. The great fact in which the world is
interested is that the revolution inaugurated
by Disraeli is bound to go on, come into power
who may. Whether Disraeli or Gladstone is
successful is o small question in comparison
with the great fact that the world marches on
to new and nobler conditions, and that Great
Britain is furnishing and is destined to furnish
more and more striking illustrations. This
election campaign in England will be one of
the most interesting and instructive on record,

Jobbing Politicians in Massachusetts.


The Massachusetts, Republican State Con-
vention was held in Worcester on the 9th
inst. At the start there were two candidates
for the Gubernatorial nominations but ON a
canvass Of claims and a count of noses it was
deemed advisable that one should withdraw.
and the nomination of the other was made by
reclamation. The political history of the re-
firing candidate is very curious. An early
coalitionist, it seems he has been at different
times Douglas delegate and yet voted for
Breckenridge; that he opposed the republican
party all through the late rebellion; that he
dined with Preston S. Brooks after his assault
upon Charles Sumner that the citizens of his
county-hardened sinners as they are, for
they are the descendants of the original Afri-
can slave traders in this country-actuallg
''blushed for him )" that he stumped Penn
sylvania for the democrats at the State cleo
ton and for the republicans at the Presidential
election the same year, and otherwise exhibited
his adroitness at political circus evoutions "a
ifhe were veritable hippodromist To crown
all, he had the audacity to enter the field as
candidate of the dyed-in- the-wool African
radicals of Massachusetts for The nomination for
Governor. This Is one of the breed of Massa-
chusetts jobbing politicians who are ever ready
to sell out their principles to keep on the winning
side. 1t was so with Boutwell,, Banks Butler and
others less notorious. When they were demo-
Gratis they, with Henry Wilson, Burlingame,
and a host of small fry free-soilers, coalesced,
formed junction with those patent abolition
lists, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips,
Elizur Wright, Theodore Parker Abby Foster
and others of the true black anti-slavery
stripe, and, with batch of Know Nothings,
wrested the State from the hands of the old
wings, leaving them and the old bunker de-
mocracy clean out in the cold. The reign Of
the Know Nothings in the interim was mag
nifcent so long as it lasted yet this prime
conjunction of homogeneous political elements
has been found paying one for the jobbing
politicians for one branch of the coalition OF
the other ever since its formation. It is true
neither Lloyd Garrison nor Wendell Phillips NOS
the late Theodore Parker ever asked for or held
public Office, but they held in their hands what
was more potential-the political fate of such
plant instruments as Boutwell,, Banks and
Butler; and the mighty events of the past eight
years in this country have demonstrated tho
strength of that silent influence. In regard to
the unfortunate coalitionist who was extin4

monia and all that, but as political manager
or leader he seems to be about as skilful and
felicitous as the elephant Columbus would be
in a dance on tightrope. A New York ward
politician would give him odds and beat him
easily at any job he might put up.

Toombs' Arrangement Of General Grnnt.
We publish to-day full report of the speech
of Brigadier General Robert Toombs, of
Georgia. delivered at Cedar Town on the 25th
ultmo. II will be remembered that a short
time since we published brief extract from
this speech and stated that If II be intended as
an electioneering document to assist the
radicals in the North it ought to be published
in full. This, it will be seen, has been done,
and so far as the Objectionable utterances con.
corning General Grant, which we quoted, are
concerned, we find that in the revised edition
the sentiment remains, while the coarseness of
the language is toned down. He does not
broadly accuse General Grant of being a
''liar, and ''doubly lying to screen himself
from the effects Of his ''treachery," but a
''want of veracity" and so on. He, further
more, arraigns General Grant as responsible
for the Chicago platform in all that relates to
hostility to the South. Such an arraignment,
We think, would come with better grace and
with far more effect from either war demo-
crat or from Unionist or non-combatant in
the South. What would have been thought
If General Lee had stood in the place of Briga-
der Toombs and brought the accusations the
latter has against General Grant? The South
ern cause would not have stood for moment
in the North. AZ it is, this Cedar Town speech
of Brigadier Toombs will be taken for what 1t
is worth; and whatever is good, bad or in
different in it is at the option of those who
wish to use it either one way or the other.

Cosr OF RADICAL RtLE.- The New

Since the surrender Of Lees army the
Radical governments at Washington have
borrowed about eight hundred millions OF
dollars, and have collected in addition
thereto from the people during the same
period, by way of taxes and custom duties
fourteen hundred millions, which make TIVE
thousand two hundred millions that they
have expended since the close of the re.
bellion. This is one half Of the entire

can have a peaceful election and, there
fore, to be consistent, we should avoid al
elections in the future.
1t may be commended, with some degree
of piausibility, that if our political oppo
nents hsd the power which we possess
they would use it to secure the eight elec
torsl votes of Alabama for Seymour ani
Blair. But does,the assumption that the
Democrats, if they had the power, would
deprive the people Of the right to vote
justify US in doing SO Y -'1
1t seems to me that every candid man
must answer "no,''
1t is said that the old secession party
whose leaders are prominent in the Dem
ocratic party now. usurped in 1860 and '61
power which belonged to the people for the
purpose of secession and war; and that
now the Republican party would be JUST
fed in exercising a clear constitutional
right in the >inteyest Of the Union and
peace. | admit that this arrangement is
not without some force, still when examin-
ed carefully, J do not think it can be regard
ed as sound, for the effect of it, as con.
ceive, will not be for peace. The denial Of
a right to people who have been accus
toned to exercise it, will, i1 my opinion
be a source ofirritation well calculated to
produce violence. Every original Union
man in Alabama felt .aggrieved that the
Convention Of 1861, which passed the or.
.dinance of secession, did not submit its ac
tion to o vote Of the people. It was held
and justly so. as a crime against the rights
of the people. Those who voted thus
never sought to justify their conduct on
any other ground than that of expediency
BY their action they showed that they
were unwilling to trust the people. We
all know the consequences. They need
not be reconnted here. Reference to them
is only made for the purpose of showing
that the action of political or legislative
bodies, based upon expediescy alone, must
sooner or later operate injuriously to the
party resortipg to it and that when meas
ures Of expectancy are adopted, they gene
rally lead to results far different from those
designed to be reached. In the particular
case referred to, the consequence was the
almost total ruin of the South.
For these reasons I respectfully return
the bill to the Senate without my appro-
val. WIN. II. SMITH,

Gen. HALPINE AND THE TRIBUsF. -"The
Haunting Lie."-The following reference
to the authorship Of tie piece of doggerel
pottery" commencing, Tear down the
faurting lie," we find in the New York
Courier Of the 9Th:
In its obituary notice Of Gen. Chas. G..
Ha'pne, the Tribune says he wrote the in
famous lines commencing, "Tear down the
Haunting lie" Mr.. Greeley personally
knows this assertion to be false. Even
had he forgotten the circumstances attend
ing its insertion in the Tribune lis atten-
ton has been called to it and his memory
refreshed within two months past. That
desplicable piece ofdoggrel was written by
an Englishman named Geo. Boweryem.
Boweryem took it to the Tribune Office and
offered it to Mr. Charles A Dana, who was
the editor on duty at the time, and is now
the editor of the Sun. Mr.. Dana refused
ii with proper contempt, and ordered
Boweryem out of the Office. Boweryem
found Horace Greeley and Harace Greeley
wrote on the copy, with his own hand the
order, "Insert, Fl. e." and it was inserted
in the Tribune in obedience to Horace
Greeley's order.

The LOYAL LEAGUERs AT WoRK-AL-
MOST A RIor.- We copy as follows from
the Mobile Register of the 18th: -
The Loyal Leaguers, through their dupes
and tools, the negroes, attempted this
morning to get upa riot, and for this pur-
pose had melted the negroes belonging to
their party to attack the Colored Demo-
cratic Club as it landed from the steamer
Rio Grande. 81.
Long before the arrival of the steamer a
large and excited crowd Of negroes, NUM-
boring about five hundred, had assembled
on the wharf, with the ayowed purpose of
cleaning out" the colored Democrats.
As the club filed out of the steamer on
the wharf, they were received with Kisses
and loud shouts of extermination. The
crowd soon increased, large number of
whites having rallied to the support of the
colored Democrats, and with the determi-
nation to protect THEM at all hazards
This display Of force had the effect of awing
the would-be rioters, and quieted them
somewhat. Just before the club fell into
line, preparatory to marching up the street
a milatto named Dangerfeld, the most
notorious scoundrel and Jail bird in Mobile
abusetlsand cursed President Thornton, of
the Colored Club; 10 an outrageous man
ner, and received q blow in the face for
his impudence. This stirred the negroes
up, and they pressed forward, making use
of violent threats and incendiary language.
The whites stood by President Thornton
and his club, and prevented any violence.
After the excitement had somewhat sub
sided, the club, headed by its colors and a
brass band. marched up st. Michael st. to
Royal, followed by q large crowd. Several
attempts were made to bring on collision
but prevented by the determination of Col.
Dimon, Capt. Payne, Col. Underhill, Mr..
0. s. Semmes, and number of other gen.
tlcmen, who accompanied the colored DEM
ocrats to their hall, on st. Emanuel street.
Here another large crowd had gathered, and
it was through the prudence of the Demo-
Gratis that an outbreak was prevented, the
Loyal League negroes being surly, bolster
Gus, and seemed fully prepared for q fight.
One for ais, it will be well for the Loyal
League negroes and their Infamous, VILLAIN
GUS white leaders to distinctly understand
that the eolored Democrats viii be fully
protected, and that not one of them shall
be harmed on account of his political pro-
cliyities.
The white people Of Mobile arefully able
and powerful enough to take care of them
selves and the colored Democrats, and if
the et-bagsers and their dupes are de-
terGlined to stir up strife, they must take
the consequences.
