Mr.. WINDOWS BILL
Change in the Subsidy Prineiple

Change in the Subsidy Pra.efpl..
York Tsns<s.] WV ~"
The bill introduced into the House
t'day by Representative Window, of
Minnesota, to aid in the construction
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad from
Lake superior to Puget Sound, changes
entirely the principle heretofore adopt.
ea IN the grants Of subsidy to the Pa
clhc Railroads. 1t does not ,sk fo,
any subsidy either in money or in Gov
eroment bonds, or in any way add to
the public debt. Instead of requiring
the issue Of United States bonds, =.
heretofore, for which the Government
has no security except second mort
gage and one-half the compensation for
Government troops, it provides that the
Government shall guarantee the in
terest only on limited amount of tho
bonds of The Company, which does not
exceed one-balf the estimated cost of
the road, which bonds are to be secured
oy tlrst mortgage on al its property,
to be made to the Secretary Of the
treasury OF the United States, the
Company being required to pay the
principle and interest as they become
due, to indemnify the United States for
said guarantee Of interest. All the
compensation for TRANSPORTING troops,
supplies, munitions of war, mails, lie. .,lis
to be retained by the Government, for
which along the line of this road tho
Government is now required to pay, as
shown by the report of the Quarter
master General, over 100000 per
annum, being a sum very much larger
than the annual amount of said guar-
raDty, and is further security to tho
Government. In case of any deficiency,
the Secretary of the Treasury is en-
powered at any time to order one.third
OF the gross ear ming Of the road to be
paid into the treasury Of the United
States until all such Deficiencies shall
be made good. To secure the payment
of said bonds, in addition to the first
mortgage above mentioned, tho Com
pany is required to pay into the treas
ury Of the United States two per cent.
of the gross earnings Of the road, which
is to be invested as sinking fund foz
the redemption of said bonds At matu-
rity. This is claimed to be the in.ug.
uration of new policy, aud vhils it
docs not increase the public debt, OF
require the issue Of government bonds,
it so extends the aid of the government
as to insure the prosecution of this en-
terprise, without danger of adding to
the public burdens, or of hazarding the
public credit.

THE ELECTION.

There is reason to feel proud of the result
The steady progress Of Democratic principles
rs we'll as the inevitable decay Of radicalism.
Without organization. without means, without
incentive. save an honest desire for the SUI
lMcmacy of Democratic principles, we have
met the horde of oi1icc-holdcrs which consti-
fuc~ the regular army Of our opponents in
the state, nar~hncd, disciplined and paid out
OF the pockets of the people-and have re-
onccd the majority from nearly twenty thou
sand 70 les, than five! We have carried
knoY. York and Aroostook Countess and
largely increased the Democratic representa-
ton in the House.
This, we say is all that could be expected
nil that could reasonably be hoped for. We
had IN Expectation that the people of the State
might be led by the force of recent expert
cncc 10 reduce the radical majority by equal
and successive steps, until ii should disap-
pear altogether, and the Democracy carry the
State handsomely in the Presidential cam
paign OF 1872. But this is clearing three
urthS of the distance at Il single bound. AT
this rate Of progression we shall not only
wipe out the radical majority, but transfer it
4 o eur own side of the account in less than
three years.
The ollire-holdcrs and their organs may in
dul@c in forced smiles as much as they please,
and affect to rejoice over the rcsut-but it is
very serious Kind of rejoicing. The party
has rot wound that, like Mcrcutio's hurt, is
MOI 20 deep as We'll, nor wide church
door; but lis enough
The IIichborn vote is lighter than we sup
posed ii would bc-sill ii is a formidable slice
10 take from the party at the present ebb-tide
of its fortunes. The fury and spite of the
campaign have been vented mainly on the
heads Of those whose adhesion to the prnci-
pies OF prohibition in good faith, led them to
rparatr organization. II is difficult to sec
how they can suffer themselves to be whipped
back INTO the ranks or do otherwise than
they have set their faces.

The Democrats had PIT in nomination Capt.

mnch alarmed that a committee waited up
on the radical candidate with q request that
