Destruction Of Window Panes and Fruit
Trees.
PHILADELPHIA, May s. 1870.
About TWO O'Clock this afternoon the most de-
structive hailsorm known here passed over the
city from northwest to southeast. For nearly thirty
minutes there was continuous fall OF hailstonesP
from the size OF pea TO six and inches IN cir
cumference. The damage done greatly exceeds that
OF the great hailsorm OF September 1868. The great
est force Of the storm was along Broad street and
IN the southern section OF the city. On the south
slde OF Chestnut street, above Eighth, hardly a
pane of glass is left. On Broad street many
churches had their stained glass windows de-
strOyed. The front or the Continental HOTEL
Far as the windows are considered, Is
perfect wreck The loss may be computed
py thousands Of dollars. Reports from the outskirts
state that there ID an almost total destruction Of
fruit trees which were Just i'm blossom. AT nine
O'Clock Tonight the hail stil remained in piles In the
streets,
The hail storm seems to have expended It's fury in
and around this city. II did not extend across the
Delaware river TO Camden, ana dispatches from the
interior say there was hail there. Many OF the
hotels are greatly damaged, especially the Bingham
House, the corner OF Elevenh and Market streets,
the windows being shattered in the whole OF It's ex-
tensive front.

the territories thus opened to active industry,
ten times oyer all the grants made; and as the
government cannot consistently or in fair play
make fish Of one division Of these new Terrific
riesand flesh OF ofanother, liberal grant Of lands
at least to this Southern road cannot be de-
MED. 1t will be the giving away hundred
acres to bring ten thousand acres into market.
1t Will be the opening to settlement OF five hun
dred thousand square miles Of territory, good,
bad and Indifferent. which never will be de-
veloped or settled without q railroad. Nor
can road be built through those uninhabited
or only sparsely settled regions without gov
ernment aid. There is, then, in fair play and
sound policy, no other alternative left to Con-
gress than that at least of liberal grant of
lands and other incidental privileges to this
important line.
We do not understand that the parties
directly concerned in the enterprise ask any
bonds. We believe they are willing to con-
tract to make the road without a grant of
bonds, and have actually commenced the work
at several points. If the government were to
undertake itself to build this road it would cost
five times the grants made to the road COM
pleted but even then it would pay. The road
soon or late, must be built, and the sooner
the better; it cannot be built without govern
ment aid. and, as this is the cheapest plan, let
Congress, without further chaffering, adopt it.
The competition that will follow the building
ofa second Pacific road will be an advantage
to the government and the people on both
lines which of itself ought to be reason suf-
ficient for liberal hand in aid of this South
ern line. We ebelieve this consideration turned
the scale in favor of grants of lands and bonds
made to the Northern road; but it is a con-
sideration which will apply with greater force
in favor of this Southern route, open aud un-
obstructed as it is by SHOWS from the beginning
to the end Of the year.

Probable Summer Session Of Congress.
A Washington despatch conveys the aggra-
waiting information that Congressman seriously
apprehend the continuance of the session until
August. The Tariff bill and the contested
election cases appear to be the principal draw
backs to an early adjournment. The appro-
priation bills, which are almost the only abso-
lutely necessary enactments that we have
much hope of getting out of this Congress,
are far advanced and will not cause any delay.
The Tariff bill, in its present shape, is worse
than useless. We could cheerfully consent to
long session if it were likely that the bur
dens imposed by high protective tariff were
to be relieved by the passage Of the present
bill, but such consummation does not appear
likely. The discussion heretofore has arisen
mainly from q struggle of the various manu.
featuring Interests for more protection.
The iron, steel, coal, wool and other
corporations Of the country seem to be
directing all the legislation on the subject,
while the great mass of the people, who are
Interested directly in opposition to these pro-
tective cormorants, have but little show. The
aron interest has, it is true, received several
severe defeats in committee, which fore
shadow a reduction of the tariff on that article
In the bill, but it seems highly probable that
ihe iron men manGuvring the bill, if they
lind the House still disposed to insist on these
reductions, will withdraw the bill altogether.
As to the contested elec lion cases, a good ex-
ample was set in the case of Sypher, which
she House might adhere to with excellent
effect. Let all the cases be sent back to the
people If the committee find that there were
amy frauds whatever perpetrated in the cleo
Ition. AT any rate, we can hardly believe that
!such hard working and industrious body as
the House Of Representatives will remain in
session during the warm, seaside months
merely to admit new members.

When will there be again? The reference
to those small wrecks of pecuniary means
saved from Mr.. Lincoln's personal estate
Is not only puerile, but actually borders
upon downright meanness. Contrasted with
the appalling overthrow of the glorious
hopes of a lifetime, they must be to
Mrs. Lincoln but the merest dust and ashes.
Let any reasonable mind contemplate the fear
full change to her from companionship 80
exalted, station so conspicuous and influential,
at an epoch so grand in history-the homage
of courts and camps and the plaudits OF a
mighty people-to widowhood, obscurity, neg
lect, and, as Mrs. Lincoln pleads, such penury
of means that she cannot resort to the healing
waters rendered necessary by her shattered
health. Before such plea, in memory of the
past, In honor of the present and in justice to
the future, technicalities and red tape should at
once give way. Such Is the general feeling Of
the nation and such, beyond all question, must
be the secret wish of General Grant. At q
time when expenditure is 80 lavish that hosts
Of sinecures revel in the nations hard-earned
treasure, to deny the widow of Abraham Lin
coin the trifing annuity Of three thousand
dollars per annum for the few years left to her
on earth is littleness unworthy of the smallest
city in this rescued Union, let alone its metro
politan Congress.

Tho Southern Pacific Railroads.&c. Fair
Claim Upon Congress-.

Claim Upon Congress-.
The Southern Pacific Railroad enterprise
appears to be involved in serious difficulties at
Washington: first, among the parties COM
peting for the control of the work, and,
secondly, in Congress-, touching the grant of
lands, &C., in aid of the great undertaking.
in reference to the control of the work, it
appears that General Fremont, the pioneer in
the project, made in France last year heavy
contracts for supplies of rails and other mate
tials, providing for these purchases in sales of
Che stock Of the company, or of the combined
companies concerned in the undertaking,
under general contract. The difficulties
chat have since arisen among these parties,
br with other parties, we shall for the present
pass by, on the presumption that they will be
settled, and we shall proceed to the considera-
tion of the policy of Congress in reference to
this Southern Pacific road.
The route proposed for this road, as we
understand it, beginning at Memphis, on the
3lssissppi Che terminus of two great Ten
nessee lines, connecting with all the lines
eastward to the Atlantic coast), runs south
lwestwardly through Arkansas, corner of the
Indian Territory adjoining, and thence
through Texas to Ell Paso, on the
southern boundary of New Mexico,
and thence westwardly through cor
per of New Mexico and through Arizona
10 the junction of the Gila river and Colorado
of the West, and thence across the southern
end of California to San Diego, on the Pacific.
IN looking at the advantages of this route for
= continental road we may say that from the
Mississippi to the Pacific it is several hundred
miles shorter than any route north of it; that
1t lies over region of plains and tablelands,
In genial climate, where the trains on the
road will never be interrupted by snow; that
Che road will require very little grading, no
tunnellings or cuttings along mountain sides,
and very few costly bridges over rivers or
chasms; that the road will not only develop
the rich copper, silver and gold mines, and
ahe coal and the iron deposits Of New Mexico,
and the gold, silver and copper mines of
Arizona and Southern California, but those
Of the Mexican States of Chihuahua, Sonora
and Lower California, and the pearl fish
cries and other resources of trade of the great
Gulf of California, and that the annexation of
these Mexican States will soon follow, as the
beginning of the final solution Of the Mexican
question.
Now, as, notwithstanding the enormous
grants of lands and bonds to the Union Pacific
and its western continuation, the Central Pa
ciao road, that line has paid or will soon pay
back to the government, in the development Of
