SOUTH TO TIE PACIITC.

The South Pacific Railroad bill passed the
House Yesterday in amended and improved
form. 1t goes back 10 the Senate stripped Of
the very objectionable clauses relating to
branch roads. and amended so that the gauge
will he uniform with the Northern system OF
railways. The wisdom Of the first amendment
we have before urged. There is much to
commend the proposed change in the gauge
it is greatly to be desired in the interests OF
commerce and of national unity that the two
systems of the North and South should one
day become uniform. 1t is not to be expected
that the gauge OF the thirty-six thou
sand miles North viii be changed to
suit that Of the twelve thousand miles
South. Traffic will eventually settle this matter
without any aid from legislation; nevertheless
we deem it wise that Congress should not be q
party to the further extension Of what has
been proved an error in our railway system
The completion of Pacific line on four foot
eight inch gauge will 90 far toward inducing
the Southern lines to hasten to accommodate
themselves to it.
There is fear that these amendments may
injure the bill in the Senate, but we trust not.
The provisions for branch roads have simply

elimination has not lost it one-Quarter as
many friends in the House "a was
feared. Relieved of these conditions it ought
to be even more acceptable to the Senate than
in its original form, though the proposition tO
change the gauge may excite the animosity of
short-sighted Senators from the Southern sec
ton of the country. We believe the branch
roads have also greatly retarded this
| enterprise by complcating its interests
with those of minor roads, producing or threat
ening TO create divided and distracting coun
sells in its Directory and thus provoke mis-
management To the aid Of one direct line.
literally supported by land grants, capital will
more readily advance than to that of half a
dozen whose relations are not well and clearly
defined, and the necessity for completing which
is not so apparent as for the building of the
main road. The South Pacific line has far
greater claims upon the country than numerous
others which have been literally assisted. II
il. however, less the Company than the South
which is to be benefited by aiding by
land grants this important work, and
for this reason alone tho bill should not be al

its friends should not permit the Shipping
Act pending in tho House to go over to the
next Congress. It's passage in the Senate was
PROMPT; there is no serious opposition to 1t III
the House, except by our local Democratic
representatives, who rightly see in it another
indirect means for purifying elections here.
1t is urged by shipping merchants seamen'
and benevolent associations as important TO
commercial interests and TO humanity. 1t Is
opposed only by tho lower classes OF few
only of the principal ports WHO make living
by depressing seamcn and dcnoalizins the
merchant service There is a vague suspicion
that it is smothcred by protested friends.
Let Mr. O'Neill, who has Che bill in charge,
ask another opportunity to consider it, That
the nature of the opposition may be exposed
or The bin passed.

The business of supplying judicial situations
at large salaries to retiring Congressman does
not flourish i'll the Senate. There are pending
in the two Houses half u dozen bills creating
six OF eight unnecessary judicial districts for
as many useless Otfce-hOldcrs who, re-
iected as legislators, have grown emulons OF
judicial honors and perquistos. Ono of these
bills was yesterday defeated in the Senate by
a vote which, though close, inspires the hope
that the rest of them are TO share like fate.
The country can spare these gentlemen from
their anticipated places. We have learned Of
late rather to pine for better Judges than for
more of them; and though the remark applies
mainly to the State Judiciary, there are some
times symptoms of It's bearing wider appji-

The demi-monle Of Paris haslOst its acInowledced
queen and the ingenious youth of America who
hoped TO see one day the perfection Of French opera
bouiIo In Ncw-YOTk must POSTPONE for long time
tho fullllmcnt Of that aspiration. Hortense
Schneider ia dead. The detesable modern school Of
light and frothy RIGHTEOUSNESS which has spread
over every stage in tho CIVILIZED world owes most Of
lis accepation 60 the grace and beauty of this way
ward woman who gave the fashion to Paris and
thence To the universe. She noted Gs plqu2nte
actress and pretty woman for several years
before CHenbach lcaped into fame with his
opera Of OIph6, at tho Bou1eR, and his second
great success, Ia Belle HGleao, was written
for the blonde beauty Of the varieties.
Never did composer dacIess so ald each Other She
took the witty Hbret,o Il Moilhao and Hal6vy aud
the sparkling scoro Of Oflenbach. ard infused both
with the ndefnabe en,hantmCnt OF her own deli
cate and refined immodtsty. and made the new play
the delight and the scandal of the stage. IL was
hard TO say wherein lay the improperly that
marked and favored Ter whole performance. A
movement OF the graceful hands, provocative smile,
tutter of the classic robes turned tho most inno-
cent couplcts into echoes of Rabclai and made the
JOY Of tho little gcntcmon in the orchestra stalls.
But TO those who have only seen Ohenbachs work
as translated by the fat lrnderers that reelcd or
yaddled over orr scene under the congenial charge
Of Fisk and his kind it is impossible to convey any
idea Of the exquisite and dangerous grace which
this lovely sinner threw around her lyric tTansges-
sions She had very little voice. She Was no longer
Young. Her repute was as bad ~ 1t could well be.
Yet the princes of Europe crowded the hot little
theater whore she played, during the Summer of
1861, that nlatcless republican satire upon crowns
and traditions the Grand Duchess of Gerolstcin.
She was u careless creature about money. Every
few years she would sell her jewels. Her caskeis
never remained empty long Amid all the bad,
people remember some good of her When the Duke
of Gramont Cadcrousso died in his dissoute wretch
edness in Egypt, he acknowledged that he owed the
generous comodicnne ten thousand dollars borrowed
money. lie left it to her in his viii. and it was never
paid.
