There was slight relaxation In the money strin-

high and exorbitant. Borrowers with railway and

A Money King-Vanderbilt's Vast Aggre-
cation of Money and Power.

MIR. Vanderbilt controls 2,l50 miles Of rail-
way, constituting the main line between the
West and the s%eaboard, and the chief outlet of
such cities az Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Schenectady, Troy.
Albany, Hudson, Poughkeepsie, and other river
side towns. The property which he thus admin
listers is represented on the Stock Exchange by
securities equal to S2l5, 900 900, and its gross
income last year was not less than S45, 900, 600
more than the whole income Of the United
States Government 4 few years ago.
1t is impossible TO contemplate this vast aggre-
CATION of money power and commercial control
in the hands Of one man without feeling concern
for the result. Neither military, nor political.
nor commercial supremacy can he pushed beyond
certain limits without danger. 1t would seem as
though the limit in this case had been reached.
Yet, not content with the mastery Of 2.l50 miles
of railway, involving in 4 large degree the in
ternal trade of the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and New York, it is we'll understood that
in October next, at the annual election Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company the Commo-
dore will enter into possession of that great
property likewise, with It's sixty or seventy thou
sand miles of wires, its forty millions Of capital
and its eight or nine millions of revenue. When
this occurs. not only will the ommerce Of the
four chief States Of the North be subjected t.
Mr.. Eanderbilt-under such feeble restrictions
as our Legislatures may impose-hur the whole
Geographic correspondence Of the country viii
obey ms law. lie may prescribe not only what
shall be the price of 4 barrel Of -four IN New
York. but also when. how and ut what cost
citizens nav communicate with each other by
telegraph.
OF course. he will he subject to legislative
control. What that will amount 70 we all know.
In the past, no Legislature in this State has ever
dared to beard hum. lie will BE- Il bold man.
indeed, who viii attempt To DO So now. when his
resources are so unbounded and his power 50 far
reaching. 1t was said that the late James Fisk.
Jr.. who controlled n paltry 40 miles Of Erie.
running through 4 half settled country, could.
On an emergency, bring p 600 votes into the
field. At how many votes. then. can we reckon
the master of 2,l50 miles of railway, through a
thickly settled country, and -, 900 miles Of tele-
graph? Ii is. moreover, one thing TO pass laws.
and quite another TO execute them against 4 man
fertile in resource, energetic in action. obstinate
in combat. and inexhaustible in purse.-4m.

" The Boston Globe publishes a table
giving the prices Of dozen of the prnci-
pal articles Of the products Of the earth
during the past 6lty-three years, 1t shows
fluctuations, but, in the main, declining
market. There have been seasons when
prices have risen, owing to war, short crops
commercial commissions, laborers' strikes,
currency changes, etc, but the average
tendency has been downward in the scale.
Thus, sugar has declined in the London
market forty per cent. in as many years,
Cotton shirlipgs which were considered
cheap forty years ago at thirty cents per
yard, are now considered dear at half that
price. The prices Of most articles which
are produced in large quantities, beef,
pork, -four, corn, sugar, and the manufac-
lures Of cotton, wool and linen, have de-
cined fifty per cent. in price within half a
century, whilst wages have nearly doubled.
II is only in the matter of house rent in
cities and large towns, and the Injuries Of
the table,--poultry, butter, fresh provisions
and articles of limited production and i'm
mediate consumption that an enhance
ment has taken place.

New York to the U. S. Senate s,of course,
foregone conclusion from the sweeping
Republican victory Of last fall. The hearty
unanimity, unmarried by single dissenting
voice, with which he was re.nominated by
the Republican caucus, the highly compli-
mentary speeches made by members Of the
Senate and Assembly, and the universal
wish and expectation of Republicans
throughout the State that he should be
chosen to fill his own vacancy, are but a
proper tribute to his unHinching fidelity as
Republican, his untiring service in the
recent campaign, and his eminent ability as
Senator of the United States. Not even
Seward, or Webster, or Sumner, in the
palmiest days of personal and political
popularity, ever received more spontane-
Gus and Undertaking endorsement. Senator
Conkling deserves this warm expression Of
public favor from the Empire State. Tn.
like his slippery colleague, be has proved
himself faithful to the principles of the par.
ty that onored him. A bold and ready
debater, an accomplished lawyer, and 1
statesman of large comprehension, he is to
day one Of the foremost men of the Stat,
and nation. We hope that he will see hi
opportunity and WELD his great powers and
influence for the public good
