In the L. S. Senate, yesterday, the two
newspaper correspondents who tcegraphed the
British treaty from Washington were brought
before the bar OF the Senate, and resolution
was adopted that they be called upon to state
Why they would not inform the Investigating
Committee where and from whom they pro-
cured copy of the treaty. aud that they now
inform the Senate whether they obtained the
document from any Of its members or employ
ees A debate preceded the adoption of the
resolutions several Senators intmating that
they believed some OF their colleagues to have
given copy Of the treaty to the correspon.
dents The journalists asked to be allowed un-
til to-day to answer the interogatories. and
this delay was granted them.

The CONSERVATIVE WARD NOMINATIONS.
If doubt existed that the Conservatives of
the city were not fully aroused to the import
ancc of the approaching municipal election. it
was dispelled last night by the unusually large
attendance at the ward meetings, and the de-
sire manifested in each and all to yield personal
preferences and sink all minor differences for
the sake Of harmony and success and the good
of the community; and it is hoped that the
feeling engendered may increase until the cleo
ton is carried and the city government put in
the hands of those who have its best interest
at heart 1t will be seen that no strictly con-
traetad party party views Influenced the meetings,
but that men we're put forward on account OF
their fitness for the positions to be occupied,
and should the tickets be successful, Council
will be chosen, in which not only the Conserva-
tives, but all interested in the prosperity of the
city, will have full confidence. A report of the
proceedings Of the meetings in the four wards
is given in to-day's Gazette; and we can only
conclude by appealing to all Conservatives and
those of the opposing party, who desire the
welfare of the city, to use their utmost endeav-
ours to promote unity and harmony, and Sc
cure the success of those who will faithfully
carry out the will of the people and represent
the true interests of Alexandria in the Council.

THE GREAT CORPORATION.

The battles of Drew and Vanderbilt, the
great struggles of Erie and Central, the war
of rival lines for the carrying trade between
the West and the New-York and New-Eng-
land scapOrts, were waged with so much viO-
lence and stirred up SO many ugly scan
dals, that for time the people seemed
thoroughly alarmed at the imminence OF
the railway problem, and the danger of
grasDing and enormously wealthy corpora
tons was theme of general discussion. But
the alarm soon died away. The railroads per-
fected their plans; the strong grew stronger;
the weak went to the wall; and the question
how to meet the political and economical diff
fculty which sagacious observers foresee so
clearly in the near future, was postponed, as
Americans love to postpone all uncomfortable
things, to some indefinite period.
Meanwhile corporation more formidable
than either Erie or Central has been strength
ening ITSELF in Pennsylvania, and stretching
its iron hands toward all the great avenues
and centers of trade. 1t has not been the
manner of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
TO startle the country with sudden strokes of
bold enterprise, or to bride its legislators
openly, or to buy Justice in the market-place
but its plans have been laid with such
consummate skill and executed with such
Quaker-like quiet and precision that 1t has
taken almost complete control of the second
State in the Union, and made itself probably
the most powerful mOneyed corporation Ill
the world. Ii owns 400 miles of railroad III
the State of Pennsylvania. Ii leases nearly
1900 miles besides. 1t controls stock companies
of various Sorts by means Of investments
in their shares. IL has secured, after brief
struggle the great Western thOroughfares be-
yond Pittsburgh. At present, through its own
track or the lines which it leases or otherwise
controls, it has the great artery running
East and West through the middle of the
State from Philadelphia TO Pittsburgh, with
branches or feeders at short intervals.
Towards the Northwest it sends out an
arm 300 miles long and reaches the commerce
of the Lakes at Erie; another, 40 miles long,
gives it the immense trade of Chicago by "a
third il grasps the business of Cincinnati and
st. Louis; while network of leased lines
drains for it the whole of Ohio and Indiana.
Thus il collects the wealth of the garden OF
the great central grain country into number
of converging channels, and carries it through
ts main line to the seaboard at Philadelphia.
One thing only was needed to complete this
far-reaching system, and that has just been
secured by the lease which gives tho PeNssYl-

be encouraged. There is no man who needs to pray
more than he does on the American continent and
as he is evidently willing to strain point aud noe

that he is discouraged and hindered in this way Even

We observe that there has been some feel
inc at West Point, over the effort of Senator
Carpenter of Wisconsin TO lecture the Cadets
on honor The young gentlemen, it must
be confessed, have reason in their grum-
bling A Senator who deliberately commits
a penitentiary offense, might await his own
pardon, before intrudng himself as a moral
teacher on younger and less guilty men. On
the I'd of March we did ourselves the honor
to call the Senator's attention to his Oiiense
in these terms:
"Much comment is properly provoked by the appear.
Of the Hon. NJ. IL. Carpenter. Senator OF tho
United States. as a counselor for the NewYOrk Central
in the argument before the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue on the question OF paying Income tax tho
great scrip dividend. Such employment seems clearly
incompatible with the OF the land and the higher
law as well. Member OF Congress should never APP
pear the paid attorney OF any claimant htigant
against the Government"
1t having since been decided that the effort
in which Mr.. Carpenter was engaged was one
to deprive the Government of large sums TO
which it is legally entitled, and no excuse
having been offered for him save that he
acted "for a sick friend" the insulted Cadets
may appropriately commend to their volun-
teer exhOrter this pungent admonition from
the leading journal of his own region. Tho
Chicago Tribune:
Senator Carpenter recently figured leading ooun
sci in arguing before the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
against the collection by the United States OF the In

ment nobody believed. The Central Railroad Company
il no such lone, lorn. and unprotected female as to
need the gratuitous services OF chvalrous Knight
Grant for its rescue; nor is Mr.. Carpenter any
such chepaler dindustre as TO expend bis strength
in fighting the battles OF rich corporations without
being paid for it. But IL he did receive or agree 70
receive any compensation for this service, direct or

yania Company control Of the thoroughfares
between Philadelphia and New-York. BY this
consolidation the two main avenues OF
railway from New-YOrk southwark, 165
miles in length, and canal 65 miles long,
pass into the hands of the same gigantic cor
poration. All the railway system OF Southern
New-Jersey, embracing nearly 300 miles OF
road, becomes auxiliary to it also. Thus too
the whole Southern overland trade of New
York must pass through the Pennsylvania
COmpany's hands, and a further extension
southwark has been Imade by means OF
the Northern Central from Harrisburg to Bal
timOre. The length of route owned or con-
trolled by the corporation exceeds 5000 miles
it all runs through the richest and most thickly
settled agricultural and manufacturing districts
of the Union; and it represents in stocks,
bonds, and funded debt the enormous invest
ment of nearly $25OOOO,OOO. 1t is hardly ne
cessary to say that circumstances point to a
continued extension of this already unprece-
dented power. ..........
The Camden and Amboy monopoly owned
New-J Jersey so absolutely and used its privi-
leges so i'll, that most of us are pleased at its
virtual extinction. But here is a huge cOrpo-
ration whose control extends not merely over
little State like ew-Jersey, but great
Commonwealth like Pennsylvania. 1t sue
ceeds to the rights of Camden and Am
boy over the Legislature at Trenton. 1t
mOlds, as recent experience has shown,
the Legislature at Harrisburg. Its in
fluence in Ohio and Indiana threatens soon to
become formidable and it is making rapid
advances southwark. We may well ask our
selves with some anxiety whether the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is hereafter to appoint Con-
gressmen and Presidents, and whether any
thing can be done to regulate the power OF
these great corporations before it is too late.
