From the Springfield Republican, Feb. isI

fFrom the Springfield Republican. Feb. lal
Edward Crane, of Dorchester. finally delivered
himself Of his new scheme for the commercial re-
lief Of Boston, in the presence of both branches Of
the legislature. Tuesday morning. Abandoning
all railroad routes TO the West now existing or
ever conceived Of including the Boston, Hartford
and Erie, Mr.. Crane pointed out the advantages of
BIZ new way, through the wilderness of 0swego.
N. Y, where he expects to tap all the West ard
tie Pacific coast, China and Japan, and set
stream of traffic pouring into Boston which will
make it the richest city 10 the country. To effect
his plan he urges the completion of the Hoosic
tunnel, and the extension of the road not to Troy
bot to a crossing Of the Hudson twenty miles fur
tber north, the construction of 1877 miles of rail
road 10 Oswego. and of q ship canal between
Lakes Ontario and Erie, all to be done at an ex-
peDse Of $50, 900 600, more or less, to the State
The boldness of the scheme is worthy the grand
object it proposes but the taxpayers of this part
OF the State have come to think that when we get
the tunnel built and paid for shall not care to
enter upon further railroad enterprises on that
line.

Oh, twas the world to me
Life, too, and more!
Catching q glance Of thee,
Passing thy door.
Faint as an autumn leaf,
Trembling to part;
30 In that moment brief,
Trembled my heart.
Nothing I saw but thee,
Nothing could find;
Vision had fed from me,
Lingering behind.
How ! had passed along,
How fond my way,
eightless amidst the throng,
Love could but say.
How l had moved my feet
l never knew;
j had seen nothing sweet
Since I'd seen you.
oh. twas the werld to me,
Life, too, aDd more
Catching glance Of thee,
Passing thy door. ~

Nothing could better illustrate the extent tn
which party discipline overrides and overrules
the Judgment and intelligence Of public men than
the Following extract from the Congressional
Globe Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts, desiring to
go TO New England TO make some stump speecbea
and not being willing tolose his vote while absent.
goes over to the Democratic side Of the chamber
and finds In Mr.. Salisbury gentleman who IA
willing TO pair with him on all questions.r A

The Globe says: 1.-THE secretary proceeded to
call the roll. Mr.. salisbury, when his name was
called. said: 4 decline to respond to my name.
for the reason given yesterday. that I am paired
on on all questions with the senator from Massa-
chusetts, Mr.. Wilson.'n IE
] Here we have the announcement Of solemn
agreement In advance between Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Salisbury that on " ali questions which may
come mp during Mr.. Wilson's absence-no matter
to what subjects they may relate. whether to
morals, religion or poiitics-the judgment Of the
gentleman from Delaware shall be directly oppo-
side to that Of the gentleman from Massachu-
setts, that the one shall be played against the
other, and to this all fellow citizens are called
cratic as to Mr.. salisbury, and Republican as TO
Mr.. Wilson. can readily understand how on
particular bills these two gentlemen might have
paired; but they take IL for granted that no ques-
ton can possibly come forward before the Senate
all questions includng, 4 suppose, the possi-
Bile one Of q resolution OF thanks to Providence
for bountiful harvests and healthy seasons. Even
10 this, according to the "pair,n Delaware and
Massachusetts, could not agree. Let the political
photographer in search of party definitions take
his cue from this remarkable agreement and pro-
ceed thus: " Repubcsn-am man who votes against
the Democrats on.ali questions" " Democrats
man who votes against the Republicans on ell
quesiions.n For OF such is the kingdom Of poll
tics, and such are the intelligent and high minded
motives which rule the nation and frame the laws.

GRANT TO BE DRorPEp.-The New York cor
respondent Of the Buffalo New York; Courier
says:
Prominent radicals say Grant will not receive
the nomination at Chicago. The only men one
hears talking In his favor are the mild
who have no working influence. All the strong
active radicals are either Indifferent or opposed to
him. They defend him warmly enough when he
is assaied for the part he played In the Stanton
business, but when II comes to the question of
his nomination for the presidency, they either
dodge the point or say plainly they don't want
him. Then the Stewart-Vanderbt movement,
from which Grants friends expect so much, has
come TO halt. and the engineers appear to have
lost all interest in It, II is the general opinion OF
intelligent conservatives that Grant will not get
the nomination.
A complimentary vote, they say, will be given
him, and he will then be dropped for more pro-
nounced Republican. The Chase party Is still
hopeful, and will work hard at Chicago. Greeley
and bis followers are privately as much opposed
TO Grant now as they were two months ago.
Greeley's name was placed on the list of vice
presidents at the last Grant meeting and the Tri-
bune said next day that its use was unauthorized.
Whatever the feeling elsewhere may be. ii Is GER
tain that here in New York-except among the
nondescripts--there is no real enthusiasm for
Grant, and unless shrewd observers are much mis-
taken, be will be put aside at Chicago, and man
with brains and straight out convictions Will 20 on
the track for the White House prize"

THE ALASKA PUKCHASE-RUM
OF BRIBERY


A London dispatch states that Barring
Brothers drew one million pounds ster-
ling from the Bank of England on the
10th inst. for the Russian government
and adds: " 1t is said this was on Amer
lean account, the money being in part
payment for the Territory Of Alaska
The National InteHigeHcer says
There must surely be some error about
this It's known that the Russian gov
eminent is drawing in gold as rapidly
as possible. The Bank of France
and the Bank Of England have recently
both been heavily depleted Of coin on
Russian and Italian account. 1t is not
likely that Russia would make two bites
at one sum such as the Alaska purchase
money. This dispatch speaks ofonly five
millions Of dollars drawn on this account
What, then, has become of the extra two
millions two hundred thousand? Could it
have been distributed here as 8 lobbyfund?'
1t will be remembered that when the bin
making the appropriation for the purchase
Of Alaska was pending before Congress,
it hung fire" beyond the line at which
the payment was to have been made and
the purchase consummated. In conse-
quence of this delay on the part Of Con.
gress, it became necessary to postpone
once or twice the ratification Of the purs
chase. And finally when the bill appro
priating S7,200000 for this purpose did.
pass, there was considerable speculation
in Washington circles as to what portion
Of this purchase money had been used in
feeling members Of Congress and subsi-
dising the press. Ia the hustle Of poll
tics and under the pressure Of events
these speculations ceased, and both
Alaska and the lobby were forgotten.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette says: "A few weeks
ago the subject was again revived by a
mysterious whispering around that GER
tain parties had by some means, either
fair or foul, possessed themselves Of an
accurate and detailed list Of the several
sums Of money paid out here to
secure the passage Of the Alaska
appropriation, and the names OF the par
ties receiving the same The payments,
1t was said, amounted to S2.20O00O. aud
that only five millions of dollars would
be raid over to the Russian government.
4 single member Of Congress was re-
ported to have received for his share Of
the booty q quarter OF million, while
each Of the leading journals Of New York
was pat off with $4,000. This report
had its day and was also soon forgotten,
but the cable dispatch stating that the
Bsrings had drawn a draft in favor OF !
Russia for GI,OO0,0O0 in payment for
Alaska, has revived thes,story, and this |
draft being the exact amount which it |
was alleged Russia would receive, has
given strong color to the charge that the |
other S2,29O,O0O was distributed on this |
side Of the Atlantic" This incident will |
explain how it is that some mem bcrs Of |
Congress manage to make enormous
fortunes upon a salary that does not sus-
tain others.

NEW ROOK OF PoEms.

We have received a book Of Poems
entitled, EARLY Efforts. BY Linda
War'el" The anthoress, we learn, IS a
native of Kentucky, now resident Of
Union City in this State. She is youth
ful, and her Early Efforts" bear the
impress Of immaturity yet there is an
elevated morality, devotion and chaste-
ness in the subjects chosen and a purity
Of sentiment, which disarm criticism and
challenge admiration. No one, who enters
into the spiri. Of the young poetess, can
read this brief volume without pleasure
and profit. We trust that her genius
may not be allowed to slumber; and that

NASHVILLE AND LOUISVILLE AS
COMPETING MARKETS.

We have long commended that Nash
vile could successfully compete with |
Louisville for the bulk of the Southern
trade. We have been often met with
the assertion that freights were lower
from Louisville to points south Of us
than from Nashville. This is no longer
the case. The Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad have concluded arrangements
by which it will deliver freight of the
first class, at Atlanta, Ga, at So cents
less in the 100 lbs. than it can be done
from LOuisyille-second class A cents
less third class 20 cents less; fourth
class l6cents less Bacon II cents less /;
Railroad Iron, brick, scrap iron, etc. 26
cents less -four 65 cents less on the
barrel apples, onions, potatoes, etc. 80
cents less; salt So cents less beef and
pork 81 cents less wheat, rye, ETC., per
bushel, IL cents less; corn, u cents
less; live stock, per car load, 43 dollars
less; wagons, machinery etc. 45 dollars
per car load less.
Under such schedule of freights, all
the advantages are in favor Of Nashville.
1t remains for the merchants and bust
ness men Of Nashville and Middle Ten
nessee to do the rest. Why should we
not be as much a commercial center as oil
railroads, or OF news =? The newspapers
Of Nashville print every morning news
from all parts Of the world. 1t is done
by their industry, enterprise and outlay
of capital. They have not been asleep
while everybody else in this country was
going ahead; but have kept up with the
times. VIII the merchants of Nashville,
under the advantages shown above, per-
nit those of Louisville to continue tc
sweep By them, with the trade in article,
in which Tennessee is so prolific, and
many Of which are sent to Louisville t
be returned to the people south of VI
with increased charges ? This question
affects vitality the commerce Of Nashville
How long shall we keep cur monel

THE PRESIDENTS SALARY-OyGHT
III TO BE INCREASED

- nj ANSAAE ASGHs
The result OF the Presidential election
had scarcely been announced before some
Of Gen. Grants enthusiastic friends de-
manded that the President'ssalary should |
be increased to 100000 per year.
the Presidents salary should be in.
creased, that of the Vice President and |
ofthe members of the cabinet and other
government officials should be raised
in a corresponding ratio, aud this would
involve an increase in the expenditures Of
the government Of not less than million
a year. This for an administration
pledged to economy, would not look 50
well, and the matter is so viewed by the
New York Tribune and few other OF
the more discreet journals of the Radical
party. Their opposition, however, seems
likely to avail but little if any thing, for
the demand for an increase Of the salary
Of the President seems to gain strength
among the Radical journals of the North
and the proposition will most likely be
brought before Congress at an early day
after it reassembles in December. The
following document was furnished by
Tobias Lear, Private Secretary of Presi-
dent Washington, to committee of Con-
gress, upon. which, it is presumed, the
