bince fixing the best location for the line. The
Pseconi part confirms this miserable engineer
ing, and at the same time savors of another
raid upon the public purse to complete the
road in such manner that it will be of some
use to the country. Mr.. Howard says the
two companies are already running their
roads past each other, and that we are liable to
have lawsuit which will deprive us of our
through railroad to San Francisco for another
year.
Is there no method of stopping this
outrage on the public of the United
States3 Is there no Senator bold enough
to offer resolution calling for thorough
investigation into the affairs of both these
companies? If there is none the coun-
TRY will hold the United States Congress re-
sponsible for all the corruption with reference
to the Pacific railroads recently brought to
light.
N Numerous railroad lines, irrespective of COM
mon sense, are cutting up our Western terri
tory-poorly built, badly directed and run
ming wild in any direction that the whims of
the directors may indicate or their land specu-
lations demand. We ought to adopt the
French system, where every projected rail
road line is submitted to the approval of the
general government before it can be built
The route adopted would then tend to the de-
lvelOpment Of general national interests instead
OF the petty local ones which now make and
control railway enterprises. Who in Congress
will speak and represent the interests of the
country in two thousand millions of dollars in
vested in railroads?

but little known in the United States, but
whose valley of the Amazon produces every
thing rare and valuable for the use of man.
We have often stated that our neglect of South
America costs us in political and material
prosperity large amount annually. We seek
in China and the Indian Ocean openings for
our enterprise, while at our doors lie twenty
five millions Of people, each one consuming
nine dollars of imports annually, of which
our British commercial rivals furnish nearly
one-haf. Their exports to South America for
1867 were E16,630, 230. OF this Brazil took
$500 557. The exports to the mouth OF the
Amazon, which are here included, help make
up this enormous and growing trade with
Brazil
Ioe mtcnssts once made by our State
Department to open the way 10 this COM
mcrcc appear TO have ceased entirely. Now
that Brazil has wisely decreed the freedom of
navigation of her great river we leave its vast
resources to be absorbed by the maritime ma
tions of Europe. Both England and France
are wise enough to recognize that the ANA
zon valley is twice the size of the Mississippi
valley and already contains a large, indus
trious and productive population. Bolivia
alone of the eastern Andean slope should not
furnish less than twenty millions OF her rare
products annually to enrich the exports from
the Amazon. From the rapidly growing trade
of oriental Peru and the budding luvial COM
merce of Ecuador and Colombia, IL is not uu.-
reasonable TO expect that the great valley of
the world will, in the next ten years, take a
stride onward that will compare favorably with
the rapid progress which VIC have made in our
own Mississippi basin. Much, however, de-
pcnds upon the wisdom of Brazil in shaping It's
future. The present liberal laws relative TO
the navigation of the Amazon may be made still
more liberal. OF the five great countries at its
beadwaters not one eau receive ton of i'm
ports or exports without Brazil, both directly
and indirectly, receiving some benefit. This
will tend to build up cities and trade centres
throughout tho whole lower valley, and, as the
article to which we hacc referred says, cause
Para to become one of the .-.reat cities OF the
world. 1t is, therefore, clearly to TIC interests
OF Brazil to aid, in every manner possi iblc, the
opening of the countries upon the eastern
Andean slope.
The Mississippi, the Amazon aud the Plata
are the great basins of the world. Upon their
material and political development depends
much OF the future prosperity Of this Continent,
and upon the part that the United States
plays in assisting this development will depend
much OF our influence in the world.
