The OPINION of thoughtful people, inter-
ested in the present railroads ending at
Washington is, simply, that Senator Sher-
mans proposed roads would not pay, and
therefore, on legitimate basis will not be
built. We think they are right in this be-
lief. But they add their fear, that when the
charters are granted, national aid, in some
shape, will be extended from Congress, to
build them, as was done with the Pacific
roads. AS to this, we hope, and believe,
that for the present at least, there is no sucl
possibility. The people have made the de-
mand, and Congress accords respect and ap
proval to it, that the public funds shall hi
economically and properly used

Washington Gossip.

The medal ordered by Congrcss, and struck,
for Cyrus W. Field, is lost. 1t was last heard of,
at the White House.
1t is said here tina; the Democrats in the New
York Legislature hope for an irreparablc breach
between the Morgan Conservative Republicans
and the Fcnton Radicals, in the choice of L. S.
Senator and in that event. will elect Peter Gag
gers old law partner, John X. Porter. When the
skies fall we shall catch larks.
Current rnmor has it that Justices Gricr, Da.
Wis, Swaync, and Miller are in favor of declaring
the Legal Tender act Constitutional, and thatJus-
tces Field, Clifford, and Nelson arc against it.
Chief Justice Chase is believed to be in favor oft
Mayor Bowen haa been i'll, but is better.
1t seems to be the general opinion among
well-iuiormcd Congressman thatno financial mea-
surcs of any importance will be got through this
session, with the exception perhaps OF dccara-
tory resolution as to the aymcnt of our bonds in
gold, and possibly of another legalzing specie

TIE Policy, first announced by Lord
Stanley, but re-atlirmed by John Bright, i'll
recent speech. as that which is in future to
be England's theory of foreign relationship,
seems to us very sensible. The idea is'-
''Not to NEEDLE and muddle, and no, to give
''advice where it was not asked for, and moi
'to take part in the confusion of the Cont
''ncnt, but to have regard solely to the great
''dignity and the great interest of this ma
'tion.' Still, there is difference between
decaying lion, like England, whose advice
nobody will accept and whose menace no
body regards, and a lively young eagle, like
our own Republic, who in these days and in
future, has only to say TO the Nations of the
Earth, ''come here" or Ego there, and they
will promptly start.
