THE TIRGINI4 ROUTE.

The fact that capitalists Of such well known
ability, prudence and judgment, as A. A. Low
and C.. P. Huntington, have undertaken the
completion OF the Railroad route through Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, connecting tide-water
at Norfolk and Hampton Roads, by way of the
valleys of the James and the Kanawha, with
the constantly navigable portion Of the Ohio,
and thus with steamboat navigation on the
Mississippi and all her tributaries, is justly
theme of National congratulatiOn. Our great
City is above the mean selfishness which asks,
"Toy will it. benefit us p AS "all roads lead
" TO Romer either in one direction or the other,
so all facilities TO internal commerce Deneht
New York by increasing the productive capacity
and wealth of our country; and we shall nan
with gladness the day when the annual exports
of Norfolk equal the present commerce OF New
Orleans. There is room enough for all to grow
and flourish.
The States of Virginia and West Virginia, as
we understand, say to the new corporators'
1--WE will give you what we have already done
"toward constructing this line of railway-so
Essential to us-if you will complete it within
"a specified time" We regard this as liberal 10
the corporators and benefcent to the States.
We anticipate n speedy completion OF the roau
and an immense impetus therefrom TO the
growth and wealth of the two States, with DC
cided incidental advantages to Ohio Kentucky
and in less measure, to the entire West.
Yet in giving place herewith to the letter OF
an enthusiastic friend Of this enterprise, we are
bound to say that our expectations OF beneht
from it are less sanguine than his. We do not
believe that the price of Grain will be materially
enhanced in the West or reduced III tho East
by this Railroad. We do not believe much
Grain will he brought over it from Northern
Illinois and the States north and west thereof.
We do not regard the rates Of freight between
the East and the West rs notably exorbitant
nor likely to be very much reduced. IhiS
Railroad has intrinsic merits too signal and too
palpablc to need any such arguments IN It's
behalf 1t will be built because 1t is needed,
and because it will pay from its own proper
business, without abstractirg any that seems
more naturally to belong TO other roads. On
these grounds, we predict for it the ample
patronage and abundant prosperity which we
most heartily wish its spirited directors and
Stockholders.

Only three blocks from main tho-Ougtfare
in Wiliamsburgh, our reporters entered one of
the number of pcst-hOuses that were yesterday
visited by a gallant company of the enemies of
swill milk-directed tlHther by the recent ex-
posures in The TRIBUNE. 1t needs such an

everyday poet as n newspaper reporter, to

internal regions of swill milk The stencil of
these places is abOmnabe, the filth is Au-

each COW seems to be disease. They are
treated to foul air and nasty food in wrctchcd
quarters-in word, they are fed on death to

understands that preventing cruelty to animals
is one method of preventing sclf-inhcted crt-

reused to do summary work of justice. Yes

A very sensible proposition was made in the
House yesterday to change the time of the
meeting of Congress, at its second and third
sessions, from the present date to the first
Monday in January. The session of Congress,
before the holidays, has rarely been much
better than farce. This year, thanks TO the
persistence of the Census Committee, some
work was forced through the House, bat we
have had to pay for it by prolonged vaca-
ton. 1t would be much better if Congress
would abandon the effort to meet until after
the holidays, and then would meet for work.

The Hon, James Brooks lately made speech
at public supper party in this city, which
should have been preserved as touching ex'
position of Democratic mOurnfulness by the
art of the stenographer; but that Nemesis Oh
unwary politicians not having been present on
the occasion, we can only snatch n fragment
from unmerited oblivion. Mr.. Brooks not be-
ing irrigated with wine, and his wits there
fore not being out, pathetically described the
havoc done during the last few dreadful years
by the Republican iconoclasts, and INSISTED
that the first duty of the Democracy ID
this hour of triumph was to cnthrone
their ugly idols again, and fall down in fe-
itch worship as of old. But. letting
his thoughts wander beyond the little
realm ruled from Albany, he became painfully
conscious that the most precious of the idols is
irreparably smashed. "Let u.s." said Mr.. Brooks,
"have everything as nearly as possible as
before but ] suppose it is impossible to
"reGstablish Slavery" His tone betrayed his
bitter regret that the idol is shattered beyond
the possibility of Democratic repair, and his
auditors plainly inferred that he would engage
in the work of sticking the fragments together
if he imagined it would be of any use. we
rejoice that we can offer Mr.. Brooks some
consolation in his sore distress by bidding hlm
reflect that he is himself sufficient proof that
the leopard has but changed his spots; the
blacks are indeed irreyOcably free, but the
white Democrats are yet slaves.

The Republican Union General Committee
Of this City was last evening fully and per-
mancntly organized by the choice of Gen.
John COchrane as Chairman, with Hugh
Geo. +. Coachmon and Abraham Brown, jr, as
Secretaries. All the delegates were present with
few exceptions. The proceedings were harmoni-
Gus, and the conclusions substantially unani-
nous. There was no shadow OF opposition To
Gen. Cochrane, and but little to any of the
persons chosen. There was no triumph of any
faction or section, but hearty concurrence of
all delegates to secure an organization which
all could support And that result has been
happily attained
TO the Republican masses of our City, the
credit of this auspicious result is mainly due.
They resolved that they ,rOuld not he distract
cd by unintelligiblo fcuds based on personal
rivalrcs and aspirations, but would have one
organization only. and substantial harmony
within it, The manifestations Of their fixed
resolve were so vehement and general that
faction was awed into silence.

selected by the Chairman TO consider and re-
port on the several contested elections. That
Committee will be duly constituted and an
nounccd, aud its decisions will be generally
