WASHINGTON FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
The session OF Congress- which had given signs Of
letting the financial question take care OF itself for
another year. and had moved only In the matter OF
allowing Mr.. Boutwell, to increase the amount OF
five per cent bonds contemplated by the Funding
bill passed last summer, Is likely to be occupied with
two important measures, the adoption OF which viii
DO hailed with satisfaction everywhere. 1t will be seen
by our Washington dispatches that the Ways and
Means Committee nave had under consideration the
proposed abolition of the income tax, and that tho
members were discovered to be nearly II not
wholly unanimous in recommending such mea.
sure to the House. The other matter transpired In
the Banking and Currency Committee, and consists
or proposition enforce the re-establshment OF
central bureau OF redemption for the notes OF the
various national banks OF the country. We have
often recommended the proprlety OF q clearing
house In this city which is, OF course the central
point OF the business OF the country; but
tile banks have never seen ut to comply
with the suggestion AT certain seasons OF the
year the city is glutted with national bank notes
and no resource for redemption is had other than by
asserting the bills in parcels and sending them
home by express. The measure now before the
Banking Committee, If adopted VIII Immediately

tary system.
MONEY SIX PER CENT.
The money market, in the face OF the protracted
retention of greenbacks by the houses and banks
engaged IN the blocking up process and despite the
activity At Chicago, continues easy, and borrowers
to-day were generally accommodated at six per cent,
with the usual cyceptlsns; at seven per cent on in
ferior coliateras and at i've per cent government

securities were almost too numerous to be called

Conneeticut Irleotion.


The latest advices from the Connected cleo
ton show that the vote was very close ON
heavy poll. Last year English. Democrat,
was elected Governor by something over 800
votes, while three Republican Members OF
Congress to one Democrat we're elected. Tho
Congressional delegation this year stands the
same as last year, with majorities considerably
reduced on the Republican side. The very
latest dispatches claim the election of English
by the small majority of 10 votes, while the
Legislature is Republican by small majority
While to all appearances with those not falnil-
lar with the facts, there would seem to have
been an actual Republican gain on the Cover.
nor, yet such Is not the case, counting tho
voting element of last yenr, but on the count
ing there was a decided Democratic gain
This year, for the first time in that State, tho
negro population exercised the right Of snf-
frage, and as the number of that class regis
tered was something over 1900, the Demo-
cratic gains are about equal TO tho number of
Radical recruits from the African element.
The Democracy has met and withstood tho
shock of the black brigade in that State, and
may now look forward to tho future with So
rene confidence in an ultimate and enduring
triumph, as tho bond Of union between the
black md white Radicals will grow weaker
every day with the lapse OF time.

Southern Pacific R.ilroad.

The capital stock Of the Southern Pacific
Railroad is fixed at fifty million dollars, and
it is said that two million dollars of the stock
has already been subscribed, and the company
will be organized within two months for ac-
tive operations. The company has been
granted the right Of way four hundred feet
through the public lands, with forty acres OF
land wherever it is necessary for a station or
other purpose, also twenty alternate sections of
public land through the Territories aud ten
sections per mile in California. The whole
amount Of land granted the company by
Congress will aggregate 100000 acres.
The building Of the road will be commenced
at both ends, and II will be completed within
ten years. This WILL with the Northern Pa
cifc, give three through lines to the Pacific
coast, and the Southern road will be a strong
competing line with the Central and Northern
routes. Il will be great developer of the 70.
sources Of the States and Territories through
which 1t will pass, and immigration will tiow
heavily to the southwestern Territories and
the Pacific States upon its completion. San
Diego, some $50 miles south of San Francisco.

and will form the western terminus of the
Southern road. The line of this road is nearly
on the thirty-second parallel of latitude, below

gers. The Northern road is designed TO take
tho business on the line of the st. Lawrence
and the Lakes; the Central on the line Of New
York and st. Louis; the Southern, by its con.
neotion, will start from Savannah, strike the
Mississippi at vicksburg, and thence run TO
Shreveport, and through the richest section
Of Texas to III Paso, on the Rio Grande, and
thence strike the head Of the Gin river on ia
way to San Diego. In addition to the aid af.
forded by Congress, II will receive valuable
land donations from Texas. When the South
ern Railroad is opened, all the Southern rail-
roads from the great centers of trade will seek
connection with it. 1t will bring our people
in CLOSE proximity 10 the Northern States Of
Mexico, and prepare the way for their annex
alton to our Union. Whom the three lines of
railroads are oil in working order, the Pacific
States will receive an impetus that can not
but add greatly to their prosperity and tho
growth OF the country: our bread acres will
then be cultivated; our mines developed; and
the Importance Of tho Pacific States will rise
into prominence.

Mrs. Fans TRnL.--The trial of Mrs. Fair
for the murder of A. p. Crittenden, still draQs
along In San Francisco, and will probably not
60 to the jury until some time next week. The
current of popular sympathy is gradually
drifting In her favor, and should the trial be
prolonged week further she will be born in
triumph from the courtroom by the enthusi.
astio and excited multitude Of both sexes who
have daily watched the progress Of the trial,
after her acquittal. We say after her acquit-
tai, because from careful reading Of the tos-
timony thus far, we have not the least doubt
MS to the final result. Tho testimony of Drs.
Trask and Lyford leave no room to doubt but
what she was laboring under nm attack of hys-
terical mania and was totally unconscious of
what she was doing at the time she committed
the fatal deed.

HoME AoAN.-A correspondent from Ruby
Valley writes as follows:
Hon. ]. b. Moore, Senator from this county
arrived home on Wednesday last, looking hale
and hearty. The Romans once took n man
from the pillow and sent him to the Senate :;
bot whether he ever went back to the pillow
disremember. That was before narrow gauge
railroads were thought OF. We also took a
man from the pillow and sent him TO the SEN
ate; but he has returned from the Senate to
the pillow. The Colonel was welcomed by his
numerous friends on his return from the Leg
islature He was too hoarse 10 make speech,
though he said he did not come home on the
narrow gauge by long way. His hoarseness
was caused by attending the great Peace Ju.
bilee in San Francisco the other day. He
must have fought NIT Siegel." The Colonel
is an accomplished gentleman, a genial COM
panicn, liberal and upright in all his dealings;
but he lacks one thing-he ought to be a
Democrat" Although he says no is not the
man he was twenty years ago, yet declare, he
looks ten years younger than he did tho night
after the election IN November last.
Z. S.-There has not a coyote been seen in
the valley since the Colonel got home.
