built the road with unexampled rapidlty; and
while the stock of the Union Pacific Railroad
to-day can be purchased without trouble, the
stock of this Credit MobiIier- Company is
beyond the reach of any purchaser! In other
words, the Government made a CONTRACT
with q certain company OF gehtieihen'
by which these gentlemen have realized enor-

Now come to the doors of Congress other COIL

The contest at Albany grows warmer as the
time for decision approaches. Saturday night
has been fixed for the caucus-the surface in
dications being that the Morgan men would
have preferred to make it Monday. Marshall
0. Roberts has reached Albany to survey the
field and enter the fight. Judge Noah Davis
is also back, and his friends insist upon
pressing his name, although he has
not withdrawn his letter of declen-
sion. Congressman continue neglecting their
duties, to instruct legislators about theirs-Alr.

to get out. There is much scheming as to a

have received during the past few days from

the possession of Cuba. 1t seems that nearly
all the political parties in Spain are agreed
upon this point Volunteers for reinforcing
the Spanish troops in Cuba are offering them
selves in large numbers, and the papers gene
rally urge the Provisional Government to
strengthen the hands of Gen. Dulce. Spain
does not seem to consider that any additions

A. Hendricks as the United States Senator
from Indiana. He is comparatively a young
man for the Senate, being only in his fortieth
year; and he does not bring to that body so
wide reputation for ability as Mr.. Hendricks
will carry away; but his Republcanism is
vigorous and his service for single term in
the House was such as to give him excellent
standing in the party. During the late canvass

We see it stated that the son of Senator
Mattoon has been denied the clerkship of an
Albany committee.
This is prodigious mistake. The services
of Senator Mattoon to the Drew and Wander
bilt parties last year. the impartiality with
which he supported one side and another,
showed an amount of complaisance on his part
that can only be recompensed by giving
committee clerkship to his son, and to every
son that Providence may have given to him.

Why eke ont scanty livelihood from frozen
and grudging acres when broad, sunny lands in
the South invite the AK or await the plow' ?
There MAY be social reasons strong enough TO
dissipatc these ideas; but why should Virginia
not regain the ascendency she lost early in this
century, Why should fox-thicllets, and scrub
pines, and soldiers graves, be thicker than
the corn-feldsi
g. Wherever lie the soils that are to yield
the corn and wheat, the potato and cotton
crops of 1860, we hope they will grow on Je,rer
acres than the crops of 1868. Thus far Ameri-
can Agriculture has been surface work, skin
nlng over fifty acres, plowing it three inches
deep, when the same crop could have been
gathered from twenty acres. The practice is
false and wasteful National decline, and in
the end National bankruptcy, await us if this
bad tillage is not abandoned. No man has a
right so TO abuse any patch of Earth's surface
that his successor shall find il more difficult
and labori0us TO derive his living from it. We
owe it TO the future races of tho world, who
will have, Heaven knows trouble enough with
their own problems, not to embarrass them
with the wrecks Of old bunders and the debris
of two hundred years of Encouragement.

The New Senator from West
Virginia.

Ex-Governor Arthur J. Boreman,
recently elected United States Sena-
tor by the Legislature Of West Vir-
ginia, has never been in Congress,
nor has he held any position which
has given him national celebrity; but
he is the foremost man in the new
State of West Virginia, and, more
than any other, commands the re-
gard and respect Of the Unionists of
that Commonwealth. When, in '63,
the old State of Virginia was divided
and West Virginia constructed, Gov
ernor Foreman was chosen Governor
unanimously, no vote being cast
against him. In 1861 another CUB
ernatorial election was held, and he
was again unanimously elected, re.
ceiving 1908 votes. In 1866 he
was elected for the third time. A
Democratic candidate was put up
against him, but he received 23,SO2
votes to II, 1853 for his opponent, a
majority of 6,644. In 1868 he de-
clined reelection, and now goes to
the United States Senate for six
years. He succeeds Senator p. G.
Van Wrinkle, one of the seven oena-
tors who voted against the convic-
ton Of President Johnson under the
articles ofimpeachment, and of whom
it is said that he proposed an opinion
in favor of conviction, and voted
against it. Governor Borcman is il.
the prime life, and is an active rad.
cal an d thoughtful Republican.

Our Muscatine. Washington,
OttumWa & Cameron r. r.

We clip the following from the ed
itorial columns of the Chicago Post,
of the 18th inst:
1t has not been long since the Even.
ing Post, in speaking Of the railway
system of Iowa, mentioned the rumor
that the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific might soon be extended from
Washington (the present terminus
of the Muscatine Division) west
wardly by Sigourney to Oskaloosa,
and southwestwardly by Ottumwa,
and on through Missouri to the Kan
sas Pacific. The letter of an occa.
sional correspondent, from Winter
set, Iowa, printed herewith, gives ex-
cellent reasons for the extension of
this road not only to Oskaloosa, but
on through the State to Council
Bluffs, or where it would strike the
Des Moines Division, now nearly
completed.
The extension of this road by OF.
tumwa, as above mentioned, and
through the "third tier" of Iowa,
may be set down as among those
things which are only questions of
time. The company is now expend>
ing all its energies to get connection
with the Union Pacific. That done,
and it will only be q fow weeks till it
shall be aone, another forward move
ment will be in order. Already the
citizens of Ottumwa, of Sigourney,
and of other places near the present
terminus of the Muscatine Division
Of the road, are laboring for the ex-
tensions here spoken of, with assur.
ances that they will be made on GER
tain easy conditions Of local aid, and
this, we are informed, will be sup
piled without difficulty. Wherefore,
we have little room 10 doubt that
these needed extensions Of this great
thoroughfare will be we'll under way
before many months shall have clap
sed. Their Importance, no loss to
Iowa than to Chicago, a glance at
the map, with only modcra % knowl-
edge of the richness of the country,
will suffice to prove.
