HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC RA1LRoAp

AAASAS0A o1 4a6 1AtAxAV dA2L6uAu.
Since the successful construction OF
1ailroad across the continent To the Pacific
Oean, there has been considerable Discus
zion as to tho origin and history Of tbs
measure, and q number Of citizens of IHi-
nois, proud Of this State and its statesmen,
have reproduced, in neat and handsome
pamphlet, the drst report made in Congress
on this subject.
In 1915 this subject wss brought TO the
attention Of Congress by Asa WH11zzr, Of
New York, and in July, 1916, the Hon.
SIDNEY BRzEax, Of Illinois, the present Chief
Justice of the S:nte, then Chairman Of the
Committee on Public Lands in the United
States Senate, reported 4 bill making DOM
tons Of alternate sections Of land, to aid
in tho construction Of railroad to the
Pacific Ocean from the south end Of Lake
Michigan. At that tune we had not ac-
quired California, md our possessions on
the Pacific we're confined to the territory OF
Oregon. Accompanying this bill is very
long and elaborate report from the psu Of
Judge Breese, and, looked at now in The
light Of history, portions Of this report read
like prophecy. It will be remembered that
at that time Chicago Was a EMIL village
not important enough to be mentioned by
name as the eastern terminus Of the road,
but the report locates the road at OF near
the south end Of Luke Michigan.
The report, after discussing the question
Of power, takes up that Of The practicability
Of the work. Tic route proposed by this
bill was from Chicago across tho State OF
Illinois and Territory Of Wisconsin to the
Mississippi River at Prnirie du Chen;
thence west to the Missouri River;
thence west along the valley Of the Platte,
until it reached the South Pass; thence By
the valley Of Lewis branch of the Columbia
River to the Pacific. Whom it is remem-
bered that NC did not then own California
nor Utah, Lhe reason for taking the South
Pass and leaving the Plato valley is OBJ
yious.
The report orgues that the building Of
this road would induce tho yarious Eastern
railroads, which had already established
communication with Ohio, to push on fur
ther. and thereby have such complete
web Of railways that The centre could be
reacl1edin four days; that passengers might
reach New Orleans, Charleston, Washing
ton, Philadelphia, New York, aud Boston,
in eight days from the Pacific, and China in
twenty days. 1t adds:
IA cargo Of teas from China may then be de-
nserfd IN atJ Of our atlantic cities III thirty ray4,
or in London or Liverpool! In less than forty i've
Iaye."
We have not fpace to follow the report,
which enters fully into the questions Of nm
extension Of our commerce With China,
Japan, Australia, and the East Indies. It
emi'cdits very admirable compilation OF
a1l that was known of China, mud the other
Eastern countries, and predicted an even
tual establishment Of an extensive system
If exchanges with them. As m historical
relic, as well as an event in The personal
history Of Judge Breese, the report is Of
considerable interest,

THE STATE OF VIRGINIA,


The actlon OF Congress in tho cese Of the
State Of Virginia has been sufficiently care
tnl, and the time has uu9uestionably ar-
rived when the State may be safely admitted
to representation. Every condition required
ny ell the legislation Of Congress has been
complied with. There is nothing which
the most exacting pcrson can hon
etty nsk that the State Legislature and
the people have not complied with, and
any longer postponement OF the ad-
mission OF her Representatives and Senators
is indefeusible. The Legislature Of the
State, according to the opinion OF the At
to1ney General, can have no legislative
power save what is derived from tho Re-
construction laws, until such time as that
constitution shall be accepted By Congress
as republican in form. This being the case
no particular oath Of Office ia required OF
the members When Congress shall accept
the constitution, the Legislature becomes
constitutional part OF the State Government,
and is not subject to tho Reconstruction
acts, and the eligibility Of its members is
to be determined only according to tho
Terms Of the State Constitution.
1t go happens that, in electing the Lcgis-
'sture, certain persons were elected frora
several districts, whose political disabilities
bad not been removed. These men acted
IN the choice of United States Senators.
Ihe only real objection to the admission of
Virginia Is the fact that, it Congress shall
declare, retroactively, that no person was
eligible to the Legislature who could not
take certain oath, that tho election Of the
United States Senators will thereby be
and, in u new deal, other persons
may be chosen. This is an unworthy OBJ
lcct, and ono to which Congress should |
give no countenance. Moreover, it is
wholly unjust. This Legislature vas nos
elected rs part of provisional government, |
1t YVES not elected to do or perform any
legislative act whatever, until the State
should he formally and fully admitted to
representation IN Congress- With the ls-
2al qualifications Of such Legislature Con-
3ress has nothing to do. Over provision |
Il Legislature Congress has all power; but |
'Ter Legislature to come into being in
he future. and when the, State shall be
'ully sad legally admitted to stand in ali rs-
'peets on an equal footing With tha other
states, Congress has o more power than il
,as over that OF Illinois.
The people OF Virginia, by m unanimous
7ote-Republicans, Democrats, whites, aud
State Constitution in
Ehich is defined tile qualifications OF tho
members OF the future Legislatures OF that
state. The people have prescribed these
publications, and is it fair, juas, or houor-
bio for Congress- to interfere and prescribe
ther qualifications for the first Legislature,
Or the mere purpose Of defeating one cau-
ldaA for Office and olect1ng another7 It
said that q minority of the Reconstruction
Committee favor the Immediate, uncoadi-
onal admission Of Virginia, and tho only
egret is that the committee is not unaui-
'ous. The President, as wall IS the entire
sepuhlican press OF the country, is in favor
T the admission Of the State without fur
her dolhy. The bill ought to pass both
ouses IN IN hour.

Aessrr. Anthony, Of Cook, and Under.
wood, Of St. Clair, have introduced into
the convention resolutions which are purely
The declaration Of political principles, rein
ttEe to the comparative powers of the Ma
t1onal and State Governments. AIr. An
thongs resolutions are an assertion Of tho
paramount allegiance Of the citizen to the
nation. and hr. Underwoodis aim to express
the doctrine that the National Government
is one Of limited powerB. Both nay be
true, but ARE certainly irrelevant.
Neither Ut them have any more Legislative
force thnn if adopted by town mooting.
Whether the National Government Is supe-
nor or subordinate; whether its powers are
limited or universal, depends on the Cous,i-
tuition of the United States alone, and not
On the Constitution Of Illinois. or the opin-
ion Of its Constitutional Convention. Tie
province Of the convention il to grant
md reserve powers, as between tho
people Of Illinois and their future
State Government. They can neither d.
te'mine nor help to determine the relations
Illinois holds to the National Government,
The proposal Of 81r. Anthony'a resolution
that State has no right to secede, implies
that that is question on which the conveu-
ton has some power to decide proos nn. It
has no such power unieas it has power To
decide con as we'll a. pro-sgainst as well aa
Tor the resolution. For, II the point Of
the resolution is a thing already decided,
beyond the power of the convention to
change, there remains nothing for the con.
vention to decide. Nov, to see whether the
convention has the least deliberatiye disc.e-
tion relative to the subject referred to, let
us suppose it decides that State has the
right to seeede, What does its decision
amount to7 Nothing whatever. Hence
the question is one on which the convention
has DO deliberative discretion. and cannot
exercise any. The subject matter depends
upon higher law than any the convention

Pennsylvania does not vote for State officers to-
morrow, but simply Tor members OF Congress, and
some OF the aspirants for that honor are simple
enough, In all conscience.
The Harrisburg State Journal sAys:-The 'heathen
Chinee'' has got into Philadelphia politics and has
played the mischief with the literary reputation OF
some OF the asprants for Congressional honors.
The Harrisburg State Journal predicts that ONeils
majority for Congress from the Pennsylvania Second
district at the election tomorrow win not be less
than $780, and bases its opinion upon the fact that
Mr.. Greeley has accepted the democratic nomination
for the same position.
A. s. Colyer publishes card withdrawing from
the canvass for Governor Of Tennessee. He has
heard General Brown speak, says they agree on the
same points, and consequently there is no use for
him to run.
Mr.. N. G. Taylor has announced himself as an In.
dependent republican candidate for Congress in the
First Tennessee district A negro named Alfred
Mckinney is also announced a candidate on that
ticket. This Is all In Roderick Random Buffers dis
trict.
There are now five candidates for Congressional
hoDors In the Fifth district Of linos-E. @. Inger-
sofia Governor Baker, OF PEORIA Benz. II. Brown,
OF the town of Weller, Henry county; F. B. Ives
and B. N. Stevens, Of Bureau county Ingersoll,
Baker and Brown republicans; Ives also used TO
train In the same party, but the whlskey ring was
too much for him. he left the party IN disgust, and
is now Of the leading lights in the prohibition
party.

Two Second Precinct Policemen Rat On Each

Sergeant Allen, Of the Second precinct, appeared
in the Tombs Police Court yesterday, having In
charge officers Patrick Slavin, Patrick Mclaughlin
and Charles Dunleavy. Of The Second precinct, who
were Just after having very ugly fight in the res
taurant Of the Pearl Street House, corner OF Pearl
and Ferry streets 1t appears that the three Officers
were at breakfast In the restaurant, when some
conversation occurred about woman whom Slayin
was supporting his mistress, at least SO the allie
cation goes. and Mclaughlin told Slavin that this
woman had come up to him on post few nights
since and, mistaklng him for Slavin, attempted to
KISS him. an intrusion which he Of once resented;
but as Mclaughlin requested Slavin to keep his
women to himself the latter took umbrage and
both men lost their tempers and engaged In
very hard fight. In the course OF which
part OF Slavln's under lip bitten of and part Of
McLaugnlin's upper lip also. slavin made formal
complaint against Mclaughlin before Justice Hogan
yesterday and the latter was held TO answer In $500
BAH. Dunleavy was also included In the complaint,
but this Oficer was no further implicated in the
array than in handling both the fighters roughly in
attempting to separate them. Mclaughlin yester-

Sergeant Allen, ana Dnnleayy returned to duty.

THE CANPAVGy IN NEW YORK..

Thc Charges Against General Wood ford.
BY the following extract from the Buffalo Courier
II VIII be seen that the business OF throwing mud at
political opponents is pretty well unde rstood in the
Western part Of the State:-
General Woodf0rd comes hither with his name
wrapped In mephtic vapor OF evil report. We have
not taken much stock In the stories told OF his
ality and crimes. They are mostly related repub
llcan authority and we are usually suspicious OF
tnat An ex-Unted States marshal has charged, for
example, that two thousand dollars is che price at
which General Woodford on certain occasion held
his of1ical honor, and permitted an African slave
trader TO escape the just reward OF his felony. The
same radical ex01cla asserts that the facts are on
record and notorious among leading republicans
the fugitive Horace Greeley among the number.
This may or may not be true, but, since General
Woodford has chosen neither to confess nor
deny the truth OF this and other grave charges
affecting his character, 1t is no business OF
ours to push the matter further. The public
must give Its judgment on the case as 1t
stands. But there Is one otner charge against him,
M State Official which the COuYe, was the first to
make, and which we now repeat 1t is that In the
State Senate IN April 1868, he gave his vote for the
perpetuat0n Of the plan Of contract repairs the
canals, that vote being the decisive one which
saved the roton system for two years from destruc
ton at the hands OF the indignant people OF this
state. We charge, on the face OF the Facts and on
the authority OF Senator stanford that this bad,
mlschlevous and utterly indeienslpe vote was cast
by Lieutenant Governor Woodford for corrupt con.
sideraton.
