The Beauty of Sunrise.

In other portions of the American con
tinant we have witnessed the rising of the
sun in beauty, which was most delightful
TO behold. But We have never beheld the
god Of day mount his throne OF hight with
more majestic grandeur in any portion OF
the country than We have several times
noticed while standing on the suspension
bridge at the proper time during the past
delightful weather. On some mornings
The sight has to be seen to be appreciated,
and the bridge is en- excellent point from
which to view 1t.

The most modern style Of doing up horses
tails in muddy weather, We notice, is as
follows: The narratives of white horses
should be done up with scarlet tape, black
done in green, and sorrel horses in black.
The scarlet and green, in particular, give
a fine effect, and are the delight Of pro-
fessional rein pullers. This fact will prob
ably cause an advance in the price Of white
and bay horses. OF course it will.

congress has now before 1t q proposition tn
charter line Of railroad from Washington to
New York Among the advantages promised
by this road are the following hours
are fixed a. the maximum schedule time for
making the distance-226 miles-for through
passenger, mail, military, and freight trains.
The through fare shall not exceed %, nor the
way fares three cents q mile. The charges on
sleeping cars, beside the fares shall not be over
s. for a state room, 81 for double berth, and
nifty cents for q single berth. The entire rail-
way shall be equal in character to any of the
first class roads in the United States, and the
cars for first class passengers shall have all the
modern Improvements for comfort and conve-
nience. should Congress pass the bill we trust
that due care win be exercised to require guar
antees on the part OF the company for the per-
formance of their promises; and also to prevent
them from making terms with the existing
roads and the formation of q consolidated mo-
nopeiy.
The New York Commercial says of this project:
Everybody in the country, except those per-
sons imme ediately interested in the present lines
to Washington, and those who regard the
quality OF the New Jersey legislation as twice
blessed, will welcome the passage of the bill
which provides for the construction of this new
road No Government grant or subsidy Is asked
for. The only question to arise Is whether Con-
gress has power TO charter such a road, and we
may be sure that question will be speedily
raised Present vested rights win feel constitu-
tional qualms at once, and go to law there
about. The question can then be settled once
for all, and the road to Washington made more
easy than IL has been i'm the hands of those who
have hadth monopoly for 50 many years."

1t Is argued in favor Of opening cadetship
appointments to public competition that the
plan has been already tried at West Point with
great success. In 1863 ffty-three cadets were
appointed in the usual manner, by Congressman, n,
and forty were picked from the ranks OF the
army, for good qualities and fitness alone. OF
the nfty-three appointed, fifteen failed at the
frst half-yearly examination, we are told; while
OF the forty-six chosen for merit not one failed.
Only q third Of the nfty-three were graduated,
but nearly all OF the forty-six. or about 800
Cadets who have entered West Point, about
5000 have failed. The institution, We are told,
does not graduate more than q third of those
who are sent TO IL as cadets; and the professors
expressed themselves as eminently pleased with
the forty-six young men sent to it from the
ranks, and chosen for merit.

The meeting Thursday night at Lincoln Hall
was of q character well calculated to give
weight and impetus to the movement for Ter
ritorial plan of government for the District
The assemblage was a representative one of all
the leading interests of the District, and the
speakers were among our most respected and
influential citizens.
Mr.. Riddle made . very able and conclusive
exposition of the evils Of the present system of
government, and the advantages to be gained by
change. He showed that Territorial plan
SO from decreasing the franchises and privileges
of the people really extends and enlarges them,
and that those who maintain the contrary either
aim to deceive the people or are grossly deceived
themselves He pictured the unfortunate
position of the District. after seventy years
of Congressional control, and asked with
point if the value of Congress as q govern
ing power had not been pretty fully tested.
With the best intentions Congress could not
give proper attention to our needs. Every mem-
Der has his own State and neighborhood to look
after, and our little District has to comnete
against the whole United States Our rea,lers
doubtless followed with interest the Intelligent
explanation of the provisions of the plan of Ter
rltorial government given by Mr.. X. i'm his
speech.
General Howard in his remarks spoke mainly
ofwhat the change would do for the people in
improving our educational and Industrial facili-
ties, supplying work for the poor and doing
away with the Inadequate system of aims giving
Colonel Philip dwelt upon what can be accom-
plished under an improved form of government
by adopting proper general system ofimproye-
ment to be pursued systematically, and which
will put an end to the aimess sguanderine of the
peoples money and accomplish creditable re-
suits for the amount expended
Prof. Langston (of Howard University ex-
pressed himself very warmly in favor of the
Territorial plan, for the reason that it would
afford more scope for both colored and white
here; would encourage habits Of self-reliance
and energy, and develop men of larger ideas.
He enlarged with much power upon the idea
that the men grown here should be the model
men of. the land, and the moral and intellectual
atmosphere here should be the best In the coun-
try. This never could be brought about under
the dwarfing, enfeebling influences of our petty,
incongruous local governments.
MIR. Clinton Lloyd, with humorous truthful
ness, called attention to the fact that the only
two classes Of people who had ever enjoyed tie
benefit Of exclusive legislation from Congress
were the Indians of the wilderness and the citi-
zens Of this District. He thought neither class
had much occasion for thankfulness in being the
special wards of Congress, but that on the whole
the savages were rather ahead. The latter had
received some attention, but the people of the
District had nothing to show but the Washing
ton canal and the Center Market House!
The more this question Is discussed the more
convincing are the arguments educed in behalf
Of the Territorial plan, and we trust that meet.
