THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-
A golden spike and costly rail to-day
Complete the stretch Of that majestic way
Which links the Atlantic 10 the distant shore
Where men grow grapes, and dig the glittering
The imposing piles the ancients reared convey
No potent meaning like the works we lay;
The pyramids never built to pay,
Nor move mems minds Improve their little day.
Let us rejoice, that since the world began,
No age has wrought such glorious things for man;
In science art, and all inventive lore,
We shame the dull old cycles gone before;
But as Improvement brings it's wealth along,
Bad natures too, progress in doing wrong;
Thieves will break through and steal, unless
BY something stronger that the dread Of law,
And Marvin's Safes strong enough TO store
The great Pacific Railways wealth, and more!

MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY.-Reports that the Treasury is
about to sell gold and bonds were again
raised to-day, but without affecting any
of the markets. The National Banks
are receiving large amounts of curren-
cy daily and depOsiting their surplus
with the assistant Treasurer for per
cent certificates. $3.50, 900 were thus de-
posted Saturday and to-day. The
treasury is likely thus to receive all the
money it wants. The continued issue
OF these certificates, while about S16,-
900 600 are left on hand, must add to
the ease in money and general buoy
ancy in Wall street. Sherman's bill,
reported to the Senate to-day, is regard
ed as likely to cause all cotton business
of the South to be done on a gold basis
and tend to advance the premium on
gold. Money is very easy to-day at Ga
I per cent. on call. Prime discount "a
par cent, with more disposition to
take common paper.

THE dishonest theory OF greenback
redemption is yet occasionally ventila-
ted, though it was very etiectually
shown by the November elections that
the popular voice was determinedly
against it. Even its occasional discus
sion is source of mischief. While
worry little harm can be wrought by 1t
at home, where the public faith is
known to be stubbornly upheld by the
patriotic masses, it damages and dis
graces us in the money markets of
Europe, where tho idle and criminal
talk of some of our demagogues, in
finance as in politics, is Interpreted ad-
verseIy to our credit. Congress should
promptly close the discussion, by the
adoption of some such measure as that
proposed by Senator Edmunds, declar-
ing the principal, as we'll as the interest,
of the funded debt of the Government
payable in coin. Such legislative ac-
tiOn would settle the question, would
be in strict harmony with the decision
of our people at the last general elec.
ton, and would summarily deprive our
knaves and fools of all opportunity of
iniurinE us rs Il nation i'll the money
markets of the world.

II is reported from Washington that
after many conferences between the
Virginia Committee and its individual
members of the judiciary Committee of
the Senate, and the members of the
Senate and House, ii secms to be pretty
well understood that the following def =
mite arrangement has been substanti-
ally agreed to: Following the prece-
dent in the Missouri Compromise, and
the proceedings upon :he admission of
Oregon, Kansas and Nebraska, Il bill
will be prepared authorizing the ndmis-
sion of Virginia upon the adoption of
tho proposed Constitution, with the
Obno. ious clauses in regard to disfrnn-
chisement, the test oath and probably
some other objectionable features
stricken out. When this bill shall be
passed it is believed 1t will be followed
by an Amnesty bill, either universal or
with some few exceptions, to take effect
on the ratification of the Constitution.
1t is said that this adjustment meets the
appreciation of Gen. Grant, Secretary
SchotieId and q large number OF the
most prominent members OF both
Houses of Congress.
