The Pacific Railroad Ring.

We are assured by Mr.. ]. M. S. Will
liams, Treasurer Of the Union Pacific
Railroad, that the statement that the
directors of that road have been showing
their stock on the market since the first
OF December is mistake. He says also
that most of the directors still hold all
she stock they originally possessed, and
some of them hold more now than ever
before. But this has nothing to do with
the question between the company and
the Government. The public may ex-
pect to see suggestions thrown out on all
sides against the decision of Attorney
General Akerman. Such suggestions
should not be needed. Mr.. Alderman
is right, and Mr.. Boutwell, deserves
credit for the position he has taken. 1t
is more than probable that the recent
attempt to drive Mr.. Boutwell, out Of
the Cabinet was made by the Pacific
Railroad "ring," endeavorng to make a
breach between the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury on the San
Domingo question. No d m5t Mr.. Bout
we'll disagrees with the President on the
acquisition Of San Domingo, but this
disagreement would never be Of any
consequence unless the President should
endeavor to force the San Domingo
question on the country by all the power
Of the executive patronage. 1t ia Gu
rious fact that the same newspapers
which defended the Hartford aud Erie
swindle last winter have not word to
say against the absurd claim of the Pa
cifc Railroad companies, The best
newspapers of the country agree will
Attorney General Alderman. The Phil
adelphia Ledger of Tuesday had an able
article more severe than any we have
published against the companies, anC
, the New York Evening Post of yester
day, after giving the scope of Mr.. Aker
mans decision, says: "This construc
ton seems to us to be the obvious mean
:. ing of the contract with the companies
and both the equity of the particula
case, and public policy in general, re
qure that it should be strictly enforced.

DGrThe indications are that those
blessed niggers in Georgia have nearly
voted the democratic ticket. That they
did the same thing last election is no
reason why they should do it this. No
blacker piece Of ingratitude could have
heen perpetrated by these blacks than
"goiug back" upon their radical friends.
Our only hope is that the carpet-bag-
gers AMI scallawags who have control
of the ballot boxes will virtuouSly count
out the successful democrats. Failing
in that, we urge Horace Greeley and
Dead Duck Forney TO collect proofs OF
gross in.imation by the whites Of mig
gers assassinated and skinned aud Of
various other atrocities too numerous
to mention. Let them lay these proofs
before the immaculate body at Wash.
ington, called Congress, and the result
will be triumphs of virtue and the over
throw of vice, by the prompt turning
out of all the old democrats and the CIV
ing of their seats to radicals.

~ Canadian papers comment vari'
ously on President Grants message. the
question of the fisheries attracting the
greatest attention. The Montreal or.
gan, attempts to show the Inconsistent
cy of the Presidents complaints with
the treaty of 1918. 1t says that while
Canada is always ready to negotiate fol
the settlement of all matters in dispute,
it cannot submit to any 'stand and de.

pendent, takes more moderate view Of
the subject, aud trusts that there will
be sufficient right feeling among the
people of both countries to get over the
existing difficulties.

Senator Sumner is not a sincere sup
porter of President Grant. We under
stand that he did not vote for him in
1868. In recent debate in the Senate
he said he never had spoken in any other
but kindly way of him, but had sharply
criticised some of the Presidents acts,
as a Senator, which he had perfect
right to do. None Of the honest promi-
nent republicans of the country now
sustain Grant. They know he is fail.
ure, and a disgrace 10 the country.

SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Thursday Dec. 30, 1870.
1901.

Before another number of our paper
will be issued the present year will have
passed, aud the new year 1871 will be
commenced.
The year 1870, which is about to ex-
pire, is full of important events in the
worlds history-more so, probably,
than any Of its predecessors. We have
neither time nor space to give detailed
retrospective review of those transac-
tions, but they are such as will be long
remembered by the people of the present
and future generations. They will fill
interesting, as we'll as important, pages
in the yet unwritten history of the world
The war and other stirring events in the
old country will, we hope, mako their
respective governments better-more
Democratic. That is, will give the
people there, as body, more voice III
their management than at present. But
this can hardly be expected while the
people of those countries, as genera
thing, remain so stupidity ignorant. But
nevertheless, we hope and pray for thcil
speedy deliverance from the tyrannica
chains which now bind them very
closely,
In our own country within the yea
soon "to be numbered among the thing
that acerc," but few, il any, importan
events worthy of note have taken place
Our own National Government is man
aged in the same loose, corrupt, inetli
cieut manner as it has been for the las
nine or ten years. The questions natu
rally arise when will it be better? Whel
will it be changed?
Speaking under this head, allow II
to say that the relative position oil tn
Democratic party is the only sure rop
of relief, for the country has been mad
stronger and more encouraging by tn
elections held in the year 1870. Flo
the appearance of this bright star c
hope let us thank God, take courage an
labor on until victory is ours. Th
mortality or death list for the year ho
been quite large all over the world
Many distinguished citizens have bee
called upon to depart this life. Gu
own country, state and town has suttere
with sincere sorrow their portion I
these sad losses. Let us cherish tn
memories of the worthy dead, and i'm
tate as far as possible their good exam
pes. The excessive hot and dry sun
mer season of the year is also worthy
passing notce-may we never have tn
like again.
Now we will relieve our readers fror
this long article by wishing them, OF
and all, "Happy New Year, and man
Of them, too.
