We answer, to furnish poison to any one

suicide, or falo de SC, is to become an ac-
cessory before the fact to murder in the

The Route to the Pacific.

1t is sometimes difficult for those not
behind the scenes to understand some of
the features of our national legislation.
Recently Gen. Fremont came before the
Congressional Committee on Pacific Rail-
road, with scheme for the charter of
Southern Pacific road over what is known
as the I'll Paso route. He asked merely
for the right of way across Uncle Sam's
domain, and desired no subsidy, or gov
ernment aid in the form of guaranteed
bonds. Upon all sides it is acknowledged
that the El Paso rout-connecting with a
port on the Gulf of Mexico and with San
Francisco-is the most desirable and avail
liable one yet suggested for Pacific high
way, and we had thought our Legislators
would certainly have at once granted such
modest request as Gen. Fremont made,
as 1t cost the country nothing, with every
prospect of adding materially to our ma
tional wealth, and aiding highly in devel-
oping these latent resources of mineral,
agricultural, and commercial treasures that
are to pay off our national debt; but we
find Congress turning the cold shoulder to
this scheme. The committees report ad-
yersely, upon the ground that it would be
injurious to the subsidized roads to char
ter one that does not ask for an appropria-
ton ] 1t is apparent enough to any spec
tator, that there is general combination
of the Pacific railroads that want money
to strangle this cne that wants none, but
it is not to be supposed that such COM
bination could influence Congress.
In the meantime, the subsidized COM
panies are becoming tainted with a bad
odor. All kinds Of reports about cor
ruption, intrigues, &c. are fioating around.
This week, an observant contemporary
remarks: there are additional disclosures
in regard to the manner ia which, in the
case of the existing and subsidized roads.
the conditions upon which the government
aid was extended, have been evaded, the
public moneys obtained without considera-
tion and shamelessly divided among the
stock gamblers and SPECTATORS, who if
they were not rich men, leaders of society
and fashion. would be justly branded as
swindlers-and for whom the walls of
Sing-Sing would furnish a more fitting
habitation than brown-stone houses on
Fifth Avenue, or the luxurious precincts of
the Clubs" $685..
