TO Justice the spirit of our institutions and,
we believe, to the constitution of the United
States.
We do not know what means these Washing
ton gentlemen have for carrying out their
gigantic project, should Congress sanction it.
1t would require large capital. But il at
tempted Congress should see that the work
be faithfully carried through, and that no bar
gains or collisions be made with existing
monopolies. This scheme, however, good as
it may be, does not reach the evil Of railroad
monopoly fully. What the country wants is
general law for and supervision over the whole
railroad system Of the country. There is no
question as to the power Of Congress over the
subject. Senator Sherman, in his recent con-
versation with our correspondent, expressed
the opinion that Congress had the power under
that clause of the constitution authorizing it to
regulate commerce among the several States,
and ought to exercise it over the railroads. He
is right The constitutional power is plainly ex-
pressed, and though it has not been exercised up
to this time, except during the war, the duty can
no longer be neglected. The great CONNER
cal interests of the republic, the farmers and
every citizen are suffering under railroad
monopolies, gigantic railroad frauds and rail
road Encouragement. The time has come
when remedy is imperatively demanded, and
we hope Congress win at once pass general
law regulating the whole railroad system Of

stolen Executive Documents.

There is great confusion In the Treasury
Department about Secretary McCulloch's an
nual report which he had prepared for Con-
gress, but which it appears has by some means
got abroad before it's time. Mr.. McCulloch is
very indignant at the rumor that his document,
which he guarded with religious care, should
have got out of the department. His employees
deny all knowledge of the theft but never
theless it is matter of fact that the document
has been stolen. We can assure Mr.. McCul-
loch that not only his report, but the forth
coming Presidents Message, with accompany
ing documents, were offered to US for sale by
one of the wandering tribe Of Bohemians As
we did not wish to become receiver Of stolen
goods or to be party to transaction the
spirit of which we do not approve we declined
to accept the offer. Mr.. McCulIoch is quite
right in not permitting his annual report to go
before the public until it is presented to Con-
gress, where it properly belongs; but he must
not persuade himself that it was impossible
for any outside parties to get possession OF it,
because it is actually in the market for sale.
For our part we are content to wait until the
Secretary's report comes before US in legiti-
mate way, and then with our usual facilities
for performing such work we will lay it before
our readers with the utmost despatch, and so
with the Presidents Message. But it shall be
done fairly aud without any completely with
thieying Bohemans.

Railroad nronopolies aud Exaciions--The
Remedy.

II viii be seen by report Of a committee OF
gentlemen from Washington and its vicinity
that movement Is set on foot in thc 'lal
capital TO break up the Baltimore anG Ohio
Railroad monopoly and cxactions, and to give
greater facilities for travel and freight to and
through Washington. The exactions of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad monopoly, and Of
such monopolies in general, with the cost and
Inconvenience to the public, are clearly set
forth, and must convince every one OF the
urgent necessity Of some remedy. The plan
proposed by this committee is that Congress
shall grant charters for -four great railroads TO
and from Washington to rival and break down
the existing monopolies and 10 cheaper freight
and passage This, undoubtedly, Is move
ment In the right direction, and ought TO meet
with favor from Congress and the people. !
IL outrageous that the travelling public and
those having freight to transport should be al
The mercy Of such monopolios, and that the
citizens Of New York sai other States should
have TO pay tax, in the shape Of railroad fare
or freightfto the government Of Maryland,
New Jersey or any other State. II IL contrary
