realized immense fortunes, Their receipts m the present, too. are but tithe of thei, just expectations from the future. It is complained that the public have through individual and national purchase of bonds supplied all the funds the enterprise has required, while the Credit Mobilier'' have taken the profits, the stock and the i'm mense grants of land. There seems to be much truth in this complaint, yet had the government been less liberal it would have been many year before the road would have been built, unless, indeed, they had built it themselves.
 The school of experiment is generally a dear one. If this experiment has proved an exception let us take advantage of it at once. The government. we take it, runs no risk upon it's security by way of the company's second mortgage bonds. It has lost nothing. therefore, and can lose nothing, except land which it never tires of giving away. Let it compel, in the first place. complete fulfilment of the compa- ny's contract for first class road. The concern is, if anything, too solvent, and should do every title it has agreed to do. Then let Congress charter competing lines with liberal land grants, thus putting an end to risk of monopoly; <; and let them above all things provide that the, people may have chance to take stock in the meet Pacific Railroad

s 1@- Somebody in Canton is evidently
 very much alarmed for fear that the Con. necticut Western subscription will finally be carried Tn that town, and hence hue aud cry has been raised in the Legislature against the frequent votes that are said to worry the opponents of that measure. If Canton is at all like Roxbnry we don't won- der the opposition is getting shaky. In
 the latter town the Yeas go up from 1O5 to 157. the Nays go do,On from 95 to S1, on three votes. Unless the Legislature fires of a restraining statute, and that speedily, Roxbury will surely be put right on the railroad record A ,1s.a ~ d
 Now, is there anything wrong in this thorough discussion and repeated action
 on question of paramount importance to every citizen of that locality? Every vote shows an increasing interest in, and bet ter. understanding of the issue. It is not the wrong side, but the right, which gains by this truly democratic style of proceed, ing. When a minority, or a constantly de- creasing majority, calls railroad meetings for mere annoyance it will be time for the Legislature to act. That no such instance
 has happened in the history of the Shepaug Valley Railroad, we know. That the friends of the Connecticut Western have anywhere pursued so suicidal a course, we do not be- ieve. 1sf1aa1sles U ie

2. .F - '-.l The Pacific Railroad.

The Pacific railroad is finished. In Cal ifornia the chain is not quite complete to San Francisco; but steam, by water or by rail, does the whole transportation from ocean to ocean. It is not our purpose to repeat grand commonplaces over this grand achievement. or to add our weak voice to the chorus of congratulation and triumph which is going up from the American peo- ple. Nor, are the current utterances re- garding the Pacific railroad all bosannas and hallelujahs. The thanksgiving is we'll sea. soned with cursing; and while the majori- ty is triumphing the achievement of the marvellous work, a strong minority is de- nouncing the mode of its accomplishment. We know no partizanship, in this matter. In common with most disinterested Ameri- can citizens We are delighted at the filling up gap in our system of inter -communi- cation, which every one admitted must be filled up at whatever cost. On tue other hand the creation of another giant railroad monopoly is an evil of no small propor. tions- aaaa'k
 The government cannot, we believe, be justly censured for the latter result. The road was necessity of state. A barrier more impossible than an ocean divided the Pacific from the Atlantic States. Even though those States might remain foreye, loyal. they would always have been com. pletely at the mercy of any enemy who could beat us on the ocean. Land trans portation from St Petersburgh to the Cri mea has been far easier, hitherto, than iron St Louis to San Francisco yeti it proved inadequate to the emergencies of foreigr invasion. In making repeated offers to companies proposing to build Pacific railroad. our government only obeyed th, expressed wishes of the people. Yet the undertaking dragged. At last. by libera grants of laud and liberal gnaranties o bonds. company was prevailed on to risk the great experiment. Even then capital
 ists were shy of the enterprise, and the mo
 nsyed men who finally undertook the mat
 ter resorted to precautions that have since been loudly complained of as discreditable
 The great work, after So many false starts, was at last commenced in earnest. It was pushed forward with unexampled rapidit, and success The bonds sold readily way trafic proved much greater than was ex pected the expense of construction much less. But the stock of the road is owned by asew capitalists lsomc of them Congress menrit is intimated). and,at the very outset of the enterprise, they have ct ittlsrisl
