A SUGGESTIVE RAILROAD MOVEMENT.
New York City to be FInnked-Loolk

new IOrA lily 10 Oe FldukcO-LOOK Out.
From the Albany Evening Journal Sept. 1871
What with the Fisk guerrillas seeking to gObble
up connecting railroads, and the struggles between
competing lines for Western connections, II would
naturally be supposed that there are already quite
as many railroad schemes as give prospect OF sue
cessful contamination. Another, however, which
has been from time to time talked about, is now
meeting with serious consideration. Portland,
Maine Is reaching out for through route to the
Pacific. 1t has magnificent harbOr, and its people
are imbued with spirit Of determined enterprise.
Not content with Its Grand Trunk connection, 1t
seeks shorter route Already 1t has in process of
construction lines through New Hampshire and YER
mont which promise to add largely to its business.
Ogdensburg Is one or its objective points, within
State and OswcgO Is another Both these poinis
are sought to be reached by way OF whitehall, from
whence 1t Ia proposed to reach OswegO by the
shortest route, and thence on through Chicago, to
the Pacific.
A convention VIII be held in Oswego on the 9th of
October to consider the route and discuss plans for
the construction Of the various roads comprising
the cham. The call IS signed by the officers OF the
Maine Central, the New Hampshire Central the
Rutland and Woodstock, the Rensselaer, and Sara
tOQa, the Rome, WATERFOWL and OgdensbHrg the
Lake Ontario Shore Railroad ana several other
roads, the Presidents OF the Boards OF Trade OF
Chicago and 0swego the Mayors OF Milwaukee and
Troy and several influential gentlemen.
1t Is thought that this route VIII secure the travel
and the bulk OF the most valuable trade OF China
and Japan with the American and European mar
kets." That s too far north to secure the Ameri
can trade seems certain 1t may make lively CON-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

THURSDAY, Sept lisp. NJ.
In acceptance OF an invitation gwen By G enersi
Buterneld the prominent bankers called at the Sub
Treasury this afternoon to pay their respects to
Secretary Boutwell,. The interview lasted about
half hour, during which time very general is
cusson took place Of the salient points Of the nan
cia situation. Mr. Boutwell, heard both sides OF he
present controversy on the gold question. and was
understood to express his determination to make no
change in his programme, for the present month at
least. He said he was DESTROYS OF getting at all the
facts in the case, and for that reason was glad to
meet so many firms, representing the different
views OF the street. He would do whatever he
should do cautiously ana with regard for the pest
interests OF the merchants and the public. He
would examine carefully the arguments presented
and take action accordingly SO far as the street Is
concerned his sentiments interpreted as unfavor
able TO any immediate interference with the market.
Those who are outside tho presen. extensive specu-
lative movement in gold contend that the "bulls"
will fail in their efforts from the natural tendency
Of the market to o decline, while the accumulation
of interest which they are compelled to pay for the
carrying OF their gold ranging 1t has for several
days past from seven to eleven per cent will yet rob
their efforts Of all strength. Last spring. when
Secretary Boutwell, sold gold, helwas relieving the
merchants from the cliques. Now II is merely war
OF cliques-of ''bullsD on the one hand ana
''bears' on the other-and his interference would be
to assist one party the other Those OF his visit
ors who represent the exporting merchants gave
him this view OF the question and earnestly urged
his serious consideration thereof. The eject upon
the gold market was rejected in q very steady
quotation viz, from 1881 1361stne steadiest it
has been for q long time. The market seems
to act inversey to-day with stocks and gives color to
the report that prominent stock clique in selling
the railways. have been buying gold. The most
singular development Of the speculation at the
government sale Of gold where the bi ds were for
total OF only 100000 half the amount offered for
sale. Both 'bus' and 'bears'' were DESTROYS
that the sale should go or best suited their views
and as best calculated TO influence Mr.. Boutwell,.
The "bears'' did not dare to bid. The bulls" who
were well organized, passed the word to
keep out OF the market, and hence only
two bids were submitted. The "bulls" showed
great deal Of strategy in this move, for they can
now say TO Mr.. Boutwell,, "If there is such great
demand for GOLD why was not your whole million
taken t0-dayf The fact Is the best evidence that
the market does not need sales Of gold. You could
sell only half million to-day. You are compelled
to oer the other half to-mOrrow in order to get rid
OF it," The following shows the course Of the gold

ions in way which will meet the appro-

will watch over our interests one whom

TIE TRAITOR UNnASKED.

When the effort was made to impeach
Andrew johnson for high crimes and
misdemeanors, the TRIBUNE favored the
movement from the first We believed
the man had it in his vile heart to make
himself Dictator we thought he was
studying the best means of accomplishing
that end, and for that reason we longed
to see him sent to private life and man
placed in his position who would execute
the laws of the land and govern his action
by the Constitution. Many thought we
were mistaken in this opinion. They
were deceived by Johnson's professions
of regard for the Constitution and when
the Senate failed to impeach, they rejoic-
ed. But now the mask is off and the
traitor stands revealed in all his hideous
deformity. IN his farewell address may
be found these words: with large
''army and augmented authority, it would
shave been no difficult task to direct, at
pleasure, the destiueS Of the Republic,
"AND MAKE SECURE MY CON
''TINUANCE IN THE HIGHEST OF

''closing hours of laborious term, con-
slider how different would have been
the present condition had | yielded to
the dazzling temptation Of foreign con-
quests, Of personal aggrandizement, and
''the desire to toEel8 additional poa0er. y
After reading that we are compelled to
believe the man is either an idiot or
a doubly dyed traitor and those who have
watched him for the past four years know
he is not an idiot. Still it is madness foc

The n. 7. Press on Grants Cabinet.

The Herald says of the new cabinet
We see IN tilis law cabinet that Grant
has given the managing republican poli
tican vide berth that he has chosen
his men for business, and as his subor
dinates, and with not the remotest idea
that they are to be his masters or his CO.
equals in the administration.
The Tlbune says the new Cabinet
means business. Emphaticaily each man
was chosen by General Grant expressly to
aid him In carrying out the programme of
economy and integrity, embodied in the
inaugural
The Tunes saysthe Cabinet, as whole,
will not commend itself to the favor of
politicians, because it has not been taken
from their ranks, nor are the men who
composed it sufficiently we'll known to the
public at large to command in advance
the full Confidence of the community. :
But in the very freshness Of its character,
in the fact that its members arc business
men rather than politicians, and are like
ly to make the practical interests of the
country their first care, we see ground for
believing that the Cabinet will, by its
practical working, yindicate the wisdom
of its selection
The World says Grant has made such
a Cabinet as no politician would have ad-
vised; SUI n Cabinet as no newspaper
could have conjectured Cabinet which
fills his political opponents with wonder,
and his political friends with suppressed
dismay. 1t derides the appointments,
and says not one has ever been known in
the councils of the nation

men want it bad. Lots Of women don't

Presentation TO Gen. Sherman.

Wednesday forenoon, the committee
appointed by the subscribers OF New
York, headed by A. 7. Stewart, waited
on Gen. Grant and completed the pur-
chase Of his house for presentation to
Lieut.. Gen. Sherman by handing him
check for $65,000. The committee
subsequently obtained an interview with
Gen. Sherman. when Mr. Stewart, hold
ing in his hand tho subscription, papers,
deed, and bill of sale, addressed Gen.
Sherman as follows:
GENERAL:-It is great pleasure to
be the medium of presenting this volun-
tary subscription OF your friends and fel-
low countrymen. If there ever was an
instance of the pleasure being greater to
| give than to receive, this is certainly that
one. | assure you that this may be ac-
| copied without any feeling of obligation
on your part, as it is contributed in the
sincere belief that your noble and effect
i've services in behalf Of our country IN
her hour Of peril can never be compensa-
ted. We trust that the kind providence
that has In the past watched over. guided
and protected you on the battlefield and
in the camp, may bless you with long
life, that you may enjoy the reward of a
faithful servant, from a free and happy
people.
Mr. Stewart then handed Gen. Sher-
man the subscription list aud deed, and
the bill Of sale, renarking that the bal
ance of the subscriptions. now amount
ing 80 nearly 800, 600. would be forward
/ l. |. I r.. L
names shall have been obtained of few
gentlemen who desire to contribute, ad-
ding that portion of this sum had been
subscribed by Gen. Sherman friends in
Boston, whose names would be added to
the list.
Gen. Sherman seemed much affected
and replied that this noble act of kind
ness was entirely unexpected by him
until within a few days past, that, in view
of his coming to Washington, he had
been engaged In making arrangements to
live here IN manner proportlonate to
his income, in an humble but modest
style of course. This gift would enable
him to live IN different manner than he
had contemplated He assured the gen
tlemen that it should be held by him for
the special benefit of his family and the
benefit of his family and the education
of his children; that, beyond this pur
pose, he intended not to touch himself
one dollar &C it; that, apart from this
he desired the contributors to understand
that he should always be happy to wei
come them in what be regarded as their
house while visiting Washington in order
that he might know them, and they him
more intimately and that he sould not
further express his grateful sense OF their
SO unexpected and so generously accorded
gift. He then shook hands With all
present.
The committee, after brief and
pleasant conversation, Withdrew.

GRANTS CABINET.

The politicians have worried themselves
almost to death trying to find out who
would go into the Cabinet, but until
Grant sent in the names to the Senate it
remained a profound mystery. The
General had been a military man too long
not to know the value of secrecy, and by
keeping this matter entirely to himself
as he undoubtedly had perfect right to
do-he avoided the importunate demands
of wire -pullers for change in his plans,
and those who are selected are saved for
a time the ceaseless boring of the Office
seekers. That President Grant should
desire to choose his own advisers is but
natural The people will hold him re
sponsible for the success or failure of his
administration, and how can he carry out
his designs unless he has just such ma
chinery as he knows how to work with.
As was expected he has selected some
men who are not very extensively known
but we are told they are all men of good
ability and well fitted for their positions.
The following Is Grants Cabinet:
Secretary Of State-Eiihu B. Wash
burne, of Illinois
Secretary Of the Treasury-Alexander
I. Stewart, of New York.
Secretary of the Navy-Adolph f.
Bowie, Of Pennsylvania.
Secretary Of the lnterior-Jacob D.
Cox, of Ohio.
Attorney Gcneral-Eben lockwood
Hoar, Of Massachusetts.
Postmaster General-Joh \. j. Cres
well, of Maryland
No Secretary of War named.
The Senate confirmed the entire Cabi
net in a very few minutes after their
names were read, and then proceeded to
consider and take action on other Execu-
tive business.
LATER.-We learn that Stewart has
resigned and Boutwell, of Massachusetts,
is anDOinted in his Mace
