An illustrious African who was sent to
the Virginia Legislature just after the val
to make laws for as refined and noble pees
pie as inhabits this earth always styled the
" Freedman's Bureau" the I" Beero." il
was sort of &c Beeroo in which the bees
filed their own cells with honey for their
own use and now, notwithstanding The dis
inclination Of the party in power to expose
some of its corruptions, there has been such
a leaking out of facts that some sort Of in
vestigation is determined upon. The dkpo-
sition is to screen General HOWARD, the
chief Of the institution, if possible; and al
ready it comes from the War Department
that the General has been too confding, toe
trusting. and that rascals about him have
made way with the public funds. We have
no idaa that be is the saint the officials al
Washington would paint him. We never
saw man who treasured bitter hates and
vindictivcncss under the pretence OF phi
lanthropv who could be trusted. Such men
show the cloven foot whenever put to the
test.
We have no idea that the Government will
probe the corruptons Of the % Bcero y to the
bottom. The party interests will not allow
it.. If the investigation were conducted
with the most honest purpose and most
searching scrutiny it would be impossible to
ascertain the full extent of Misrepresentation,
because in great degree ii has taken place
in ways not traceable. Millions have through
that institution been stolen from the IRA
sury, of which nothing, perhaps, will ever be
known. There is many welI-providcd ras'
cal living in ease and elegance whose wealth
came out Of the system invented by the party
which held the Government at the end OF
the war to attach TO their cause great army
of voters and to keep up the hates of Sec
ton and race with view TO the perpetuation
Of their power.
Whatever investigation takes place, the
chances will be ten TO one i'll favor of the
guilty and against justice TO an abused
and outraged people. Already it IS an
nounced that the bonds of the officials oil
hat sink-hole of corruption the Bureau are
not to be bad. STANTON, who is dead, l.
referred to us exc,lsing HOWARD from
giving any bonds, and we suppose HOWARD
thought that In Il tausc which was wholly
one of mercy" and Glove" it would be
barbarous to think of bonds from its agents
Never was there more dcluded people
than those of the United States in the party
inventions since the war for robbing the
Treasury and holding power. The extent OF
this deluson exceeds anything of the kind
ever before known.

The Southern Pacific r. r.

A Philadelphia letter states that Colonel
THOMAS \. ScorT, the. famed representative
of the Pennsylvania Central railroad, will
30 20 Europe at once to close the negotia-
siunS for loan of seventy to seventy-iivc
millions of dollars for the Texas Pacific rail.
road 1t says that IT is understood the loan
vii. be taken at 80, as lower figures have
been refused by the company. Offers have
been nude as high us 80 by FREGSIER & Co.
This Southern Pacific Company promises
to become powerful. No road on this cont.
rent can equal theirs in business and thrift
when it is completed, for the reason that it
will cost less than any other road from the
Atlantic States to the Pacific coast. its tenn
pcratc line will free ii altogether from the OBJ
.tructions of frost. and for the additional rca.
il great advantage over all competitors. Ii
should be comparatively free from accidents
and will never be INSTRUCTED by weather. 1t
can carry heavier freiShts and make better
speed than any of its competitors. These are
advantages which cannot be over-estimated,
and they will throw upon the southern line
the great bulk of the trans. continental trade
and travel.
1t is announced that the new Pacific Com.
p,ny his absorbed the Memphis aud FL paso
and the Southern Pacific and TranS-conti-
mental companies, with all their rights and
property. The grants and powers Of these
companies are transferred under the decree
of the Supreme Court. The property thus
transferred includes 100000 of acres of
agricultural lands granted by Texas, which
nj even s. per acre, it is said, will pay the
cost Of building the road.
The new company has arranged for settle
mcnt with the French hondholder>, and the
proceedings which were had in France
rejecting upon General Fremont and others
will be reversed, and the General honorably
acquitted of any fraudulent intentions.
We never doubted for moment the early
construction of this Southern Pacific line.
But for the war the lines north OF it would
not have got the start OF ii. The demand
for il, and the bright promises that are pre-
scented BY its great advantages, must stimuli
late the labors of the company TO Il degree
that will assure its curly completion.
This road must greatly benefit the South.
Should the money to build it be raised In
Europe i, will bring Il large capital to the
South and when its operations begin it will
add vastly to southern wealth. We feel
especially interested in the question, because
we know that in proportion to the wealth
of the South and the amount of interest in
southern property held by northern men
will he the strength Of the South and hel
chance to escape from the terrible political
condition in which She is nov placed. Pro-
perry needs the protection Of good govern
iDent, and money can buy it. The desire
for good government will enligLten the
minds Of those who feel that desire, aud they
will be sure TO find where the "shoe
PITCHES" ia the South.

HAVANA Jan. 29--The Vo= de cuba, in an editorial

made on New-Years day, says:
1t natural that this monarch should be the declared
of institution which Spain ana the loyastS OF
the Antilles condemn. although the latter VIII permit
themselves to discuss the opportunity for lts abolition
and the form which the measure for It's abolition should
take they having the right TO do so. King Amadeus
was born in country where Slavery Is unknown, has
generous sentiments, which impel him 10 remedy the
fate of an unfortunate and is ambitious to make
the abolition Slavery in the Spanish d0minions page
the history Of his reign.
The Voc adds that everybody will be satisfied with the
Abolition OF Slavery. The Vo- commenting upon the
speech Of seor Candara in the Cortes, concludes hus
on onr own behalf we say, let reforms come, and IL
Porto Rico reforms produce moral and material peace
