Mrs. LINcoLA During the lifetime Of
the late President Lincoln, FOrney, of the
Washington Chronicle, was one of his special
pets, and this favor was improved by Forney
so as to net him thousands of dollars. The
dispenser of official patronage is now in the
cold and silent grave, and the following is
the style in which "dead duck " Foraey
notices the wife Of his benefactor:
Mrs. Lincoln, the wife Of the late President
Lincoln, arrived at the town Of Bedford several
days ago, aud there took up a temporary resi-
tence. She has since been repeatedly travelling
to these springs, the first time yesterday in COM
pauy with two other ladies, like to herself,
clothed in mourning. They came on the hotel
grounds, remaining only long enough to pArtake
Of the sulphur water. Yesterday the same par
ties, in one Of the public coaches, visited the
celebrated mineral spring. Mrs. Lincoln re-
maiued in the vehicle, while her companions got
out to drink at the spring. On both occasions
she stunned the gaze Of the few persons who had
knowledge Of her presence, at times drawing her
veil over her face. There is, however, little Il
any curiosity expressed at the springs to have q
good look at her person, everybody here appear
ing Indifferent as to her movements"

Grain CrOn of the Pacific Coost.

We see it computed that California will
send to market this year 3O,0OO,O 900 bushels
of wheat. This is production greater than
that of Pennsylvania or Ohio, and almost
equal to that of Illinois, long the great grain
growing State of the West. From Oregon
we have reports of large crops, and that
State, it is computed will have 100000
bushels to sell after feeding her own popu-
lation. We thus have grand total of 49,.
100000 bushels as the product of the Pa
cifc coast, exclusive of the half a million
bushels that Walla Walla will send to market,
provided the price rules high enough to pay
the cost of transportation. Our own millers
are offering 40 cents bushel-a starvation
figure for the farmers, and out of proportion
to the price at which -four finds ready sale. At
Eugene, in Lane county, Oregon, we notice
that wheat is quoted at go cents per bushel,
and -four at Sc per barrel. Eugene is quite
as far removed from a market as Walla

Possibly this can be explained to the satis>

the Portland market at 65 9 10 cents, with

all the great grain growing districts of the
world show good crops and much larger
yield than usual. Taking all these facts into
consideration, it is reasonable to infer that
the prices of breadstuffs will rule low this
season. The principal demand for shipment
abroad this season is Australia, for which
market over 1000 tons of breadstuffs were
shipped from San Francisco during the ten
days preceding the 21st ult. After full
review of the market we are satisfied that the
prices that ruled in this market last year
will be fully sustained this season, with the
chances in favor of an advance.

Railways and Congress.

Some time ago this paper suggested that
from the nature Of the system Of railroads
now in operation in the United States IT
would probably be found necessary to place
it under uniform authority as extensive as
the lines Themselves. e., the Federal Go
vernment. Under the new dispensation,
which so greatly enlarges the power OF the
Federal Government, it would seem that
the regulation of railways would be one of
the earliest objects Of attention. They have
become the general media Of transporta-
ton and of travel. They traverse the land
without respect to State boundaries, and
revolutionize local relations and interests.
They are 80 diffused and continuous that
local regulations are Ineffective for general
good, and, by their disagreement, embarras-
sing to the general operations of the sys-
TEN. State legislation-the parti-colored
patchwork of local laws-is not suited to
control it. - ........ ...
The northern press has taken up the
subject, and we observe that Senator SHER-
MAN, of Ohio, proposes that Congress shall
take railways under its direction, quite un-
necessarily citing the clause in the Consti-
tuition empowering Congress to regulate COM
MERGE amongst the States. Congress don't
want authority from that instrument, and
Mr.. SHERMAN can hardly impress us with
the idea that he respects it by quoting it at
this late day.
Railroad abuses and frauds at the North
show great corruption with much of the
defect which flows from the present control
exerted by States over what is SO entirely
national in its extent and nature. The re-
cent developments in New York are alarm
ing. Southern railroads are not yet incul-
pated in such monstrous outrages as have
been there brought to light, but these
practices may finally extend to this part
Of the Union; for we must remember that
a great change has come over our councils.
Whether Congress may be stronger in its
| power of resistance to temptation than the
State Legislatures is very questionable !;
but the powerful forces brought to bear IN
! Washington will not be all harmonious,
and will probably help to defeat each other,
while the fund that would buy Legisla-
ture will be quite inadequate to control q
decision of Congress. There may be some
chance of the establishment by Congress of
system of general cooperation amongst rail
roads which will ensure expedition, safety,
justice, and equality in the transmission of
freights to all parts of the Union. We may
also hope for some regulations for the pro-
lection of small communities against the
grinding, monopolizing power of large ones.
These things can hardly be done by the
| States.

Z Railroad Cooperation.

In the recent report Of Mr.. J.Es. BAR
BouR, president Of the Orange and Alexan-
dria railroad, ne states that the charges
upon the shor. transportation on, his road sap
and on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
which has been transferred from one to the
other, have given mueh dissatisfaction, and
that in order to see what could be done 10
quiet complaint, on the Attn Of August ne
addressed Colonel FoSTAISE, president o'
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, a ieaer
proposing to reciprocate facilities OF Trans
portat;on with his road, that Colonel FoN-
TAME replied that this letter had been re-
ferred to the general superintendent OF the
Cbesspeake and Ohio road, and that he, Mr..
BARRovR, has not been advised of any ac-
ton on the subject.
We have thus the onus thrown upon the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. We call
attention to the subject as one highly i'm
portant to this community, and one which de-
serves the particular attention Of the new
administration. We take for granted that
that lust ended has its own defence, but
certainly if justice is not done to the trade
of this city in the Interchange Of fre'ghts
between these two roads, it should by no
means be the fault of the road which terml-
mates in Richmond.
