NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD.

That great avenue through which
the rich products of Oregon and
Washington Territory are to find a
market, and by which our people are
to have direct communication with the
East, the Northern Pacific Railroad
is shortly to be pushed forward with
wonderful vigor. The iron for the
track on the eastern end is now going
up the lakes to Duluth as fast as vessels
can be procured to carry it. It is said
that 10 900 tons will be sent from Erie
before navigation closes, half by sail
ing vessels and half by steamers
Wards line has the contract for the
latter. The Winslow line has the
contract for carrying $500 tons oi
rails from Cleveland to Duluth. The
amount of iron which will thus be Ia.
ken forward will construct two hun
dred miles of the road, and by the
time that is exhausted another section
will be graded ready for tracklaying.
Official information has been received
at Puget Sound that Commissioners
will soon arrive there for the purpose
of locating the Western terminus, and
twenty miles of the road will be bull
at once, and eighty miles as soon a,
possible. This prodigious enterpris.
is of more moment to the people o
the North Pacific coast than any othel
now agitated, and we look forward tx
its completion with the most impatien
longing and vivid hopes for the fntur,
prosperity of our rich and productiv,
country. 8

A Coop JOKE ALL THE WAY FROM BRITISH
CoLUMBIA.-Those funny fellows of the Legisla-
ture of British Columbia have passed a resolu-
ton that Canada should annex Alaska and the
State of Maine. Why did they not propose the
annexation Of all the United States, on the prin-
cple that If the mountain will not come to Ma
hommed, Mahommed must go to the mountain? !?
This is capital joke. 1t may be, however, a
set-of to the proposition of other Columbians
short time since for annexation to the United
States. Wehave fanked these Britishers on the
Pacific by the acquisition of Alaska, and they
see, probably, that they must come to the
American republic. The proposition to annex
Alaska and Maine may be, therefore, their
mode of agitating the question and preparing
the way for the annexation of all British North
America to the United Stataa.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAIL-
ROAD is recorded this morning. A broken rail
threw two passenger coaches and smoking
car down an embankment near Wellsburg, and
jured, while thirteen other persons, mostly
emigrants, received slight or serious wounds.
In the meantime the ''Twelve Temptations, "
the Wall street speculations, the various liti.
cations and other adjuncts Of Erie 60 on with
charming smoothness, owing, probably, to the
personal attention Of the managers and owners
of the road, who no doubt find more congo
NAL labor in attending to these matters than in
mending broken rails or securing the lives and
limbs Of their passengers.

A DoCToR's BILL.-In the Assembly there
is presented bill ''to protect citizens of the
State against empiricism is to say,
against quackery. 1t requires that every per-
son who pretends to practise medicine shall
have studied it and been graduated from q
medical school. This would be a good law
for the people, and nothing can be more alb
surd than the present state Of the law on this
subject. AS it is, any person may practise,
and if he kills he may be prosecuted. Nobody
can inform himself in all cases whether the
physician he calls has diploma, and this fact
opens the door to the ignorant pretender.
And if he destroys life or health the only
remedy is expensive litigation, which for the
people is no remedy at all. Stringent penal
ties should be placed upon these impostors.
The New York herald., 1870-03-30

BURT ON ERrE.-Some Of the just opposition
to The law that practically confscates the
property Of holders Of Erie shares has been
disarmed by the statement that law similar
in principle is in operation in England. Mr..
Burt gave the other day complete answer to
this defence of the iniquitous law. In England
they have law Of the same character, but
with it they have great many provisions for
the protection of shareholders from the abuses
of that law. Here we are without provisions
for the protection of shareholders. Share
holders have no protection against the mis-
conduct of directors but the power to remove
them and elect others, and this power the
obnoxious law takes away.
The New York herald., 1870-03-30

Too THIN.-One of the great points the Erie
men make against Mr.. Burt is that there are
some English shareholders who oppose his
claims These English shareholders are rep
resented by Mr.. Crouch, who is 80 ignorant in
the phrases of the stock market that he appa-
rently does not always know whether be is
talking about the number Of the shares he
owns or the value of those shares in dollars.
No one Of the many astonishing grand tricks
and transformations the Erie wizards have per.
formed before the New York public is more
startling than this transformation of Mr..
Crouch into railroad magnate and the owner
of some millions of Erie shares, or perhaps
some millions of dollars worth Of Erie shares.
Crouch has made at times some fair cartoons
for the funny papers, but in his present posi-
ton as millionaire he must see hints for fun
nier ones than he ever made yet. If he is re-
quired to make oath as to his ownership o
shares we hope he may compel the men he
serves to give him five or SIX or even fifty
shares, SO that he may be able to swear con
scientiousiy

UNDER THE NEW CHARTER. For Alder
man, William B. AstOr.

CALEB N. TAYLOR, radical, who contests
the seat of John Reading, democrat, Of Penn
sylvania, in the House, was declared entitled
to it by the Committee on Elections yesterday.
We do not propose to discuss the correctness
of the decision of the committee, but to call
attention to the fact that all or nearly all these
contested election cases are decided in favor
of the party that has majority on the COM
mittee. There is no use taking evidence,
searching election statistics and sending for
persons and papers at the expense Of the pub
lie if it is the intention from the first to count
in the man who belongs to the party. The
committee lays itself liable by the uniformity
of its decisions to be classed with the fraudu-
lent election capvassers In Brooklyn.

How TO KILL WEST PoIET.-Mr. Butler,
of Massachusetts, did, it appears, really nomi-
nate nigger for the military school, but
with his usual acute discrimination he nomi-
mated one who was ineligible. Somebody,
however, will now nominate another; and a
ngger cadet is a foregone conclusion of the
radical mind. This will pretty efiectually
drive the right sort Of boys away from West
Point, and leave there only snivelling hypo-
critics, willing to make believe that they are as
fond Of Sambo as of anybody else. That is
to say, this will be the effect unless the boys,
as boys are apt to, shall decide to settle this
matter for themselves on the first darky that
comes. West Point indeed, will be very
hot place for the pioneer niger, and we pro-
phesy that he will resign.

The Texas Admission 6ill.

The Senate yesterday took up the bill Of the
Judiciary Committee for the readmission Of
Texas, and passed it with unusual promptness.
1t contains the same conditions that were inn
posed in the case of Virginia and Mississippi,
but as it admits the State we are prone to
accept it without grumbling, especially as with
the admission of Texas the long line Of recon-
struction which at one time seemed likely to
stretch out till the crack of doom comes to an
end. The whole of the seeded States will
then be once more in unison with the rest Of
the Union, and the ulcers of rebellion will be
at least skinned and filmed, If not entirely
cured. 1t will be the fault only of the radicals
in Congress, who wish to territorialize Tonnes
see and Georgia, if the Union is again marred
and disfgured by the anomaly of subject
State in free confederacy of States.
AS soon as the Texas bill passes the House.
which it will do most likely, without any delay
or amendments, the President has signifed his
intention of promulgating the State ratidca-
tions of the fifteenth amendment and issuing his
proclamation declaring it part and parcel Of
the constitution. It is also to be hoped that he
will issue q general amnesty proclamation re-
enfranchising all the ex-rebels, and we believe
that such is his purpose.
Here, then, is the end of reconstruction.
Never had unrighteous rebellion so hard q
struggle and so disastrous an ending. The
States that went out of the Union ten years
ago with the blare of trumpets and the
thunder of cannon have been drifting
back one by one, admitted with niggardly
reluctance by the powers that declared
they could never go out, and all that has been
gained by their rebellion is the overthrow Of
the institution they cherished; the political
demolition Of their influential leaders; the
long and tedious trials of reconstruction; the
incubus Of carpet-hagism, and the presence OF
,he colorsd man in the Senate. Surely the
erring sisters have received punishmel!
enonSn 1 to onar. -tse that they will never Mhsl
again. As they are safely back In the ;""
once more, without a single one missing, let
us bid them hearty welcome, forget their sins,
| remember only their sorrows, and start our
| fully restored Union of States on its new
career Of grandeur and power.

A Liberal Offer from Liberia.

It is now said that even Liberia proposes to
annex herself to our Union. This is too much.
1t looks like piece of sarcasm on the part of
Liberia. We have got Alaska, so far the only
one of all that offered, and it is to be hoped
that we shall get st. Domingo. Canada, Winni-
peg, Nova Scotia and British Columbia have
been coquetting with annexation, modestly
saying mo" when they mean "yes, and we
would not object to annex them any more than
Brigham Young would object to annexing as
many more new and fresh young wives, only
we cannot take up our valuable time in court
ing them. But the wall of Honduras for her
rights in the Union has not been listened to, and
ST. Thomas, which is one Of the best offers we
had, has been even rudely rejected. Under these
circumstances we think that Liberia intends q
joke when she proposes to annex herself to us.
We sent over nearly all the people she has,
and we hope they are doing very well. They
have been killing the savages in their neigh
borhood with an energy that certainly BODIES
well for her ability to take care of herself. She
has there Senate and House all to herself,
which she can fill up with colored members;
and she certainly could not expect to do
that for at least some years if she
were annexed to the United States.
Besides it is convenient for us to have such
places as Liberia and Hayti on which to palm
off colored ministers and consuls. This thing
of annexation is not intended for these far
away and useless little patches of land. The
United States is young and lusty enough to
choose fair and pleasant companions, such as
the Canadian provinces and the West Indian
islands. She has had one dreary piece Of
frigidity tackled on to her and she will be more
careful hereafter Of the company she keeps.
st. Domingo will serve as the black diamond
In her coronet, and she will dispense with
Liberia. That swarthy republic can remain
proud and independent and as an Offset for re-
jecting her addresses, if she likes, we will send
her another large quota Of citizens, provided
they will go.

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE LIFE OF
NAPOLEON. and all those who watch
the affairs of France have been manifesting
some impatience at the delay in bringing the
facts of the recent conspiracy before the public
A cable despatch Of yesterday has it that
orders for the arrest Of Mazzini, Pyatt, Louis
Blanc, all of whom are out of the country,
have been issued. To most people this will
look like lame affair. To our minds it is
convincing that the conspiracy was feeble and
really not worth speaking about. 1t is just
possible, however, that the Emperor and his
Minister'S knowing their strength, do not wish
to make much Of the affair, and that therefore
they have concealed facts.
