The unanimity with which the co!oFea fe'-
pIe have stood By the Republican party, the
perils and sufTerings it cost to do 50, ana
above all the susceptibility they have SHOWN
m the influences of eolored leadership should
constitute a strong basis for their claim 'hat
an Administration and Congress they helped
10 elect should not turn their backs Gu 'heh
own work, nor repudiate the eolorcd feature
of the late Republican achievement.
To he sure, q colored Senator is no more
than a white one; both must abide the re-
sults of Senatorial investigation, but each
should enjoy all the advantages Of the other.
The Republican heart should warm as readily
towards the black Senator as towards the
white. Official influence should be as far
reaching and as powerful in sanction OF the
accomplished work Of Colored voters as that
extended to the work Of white voters, and We
confidently look to see this done.
A million colored voters have garnered up
their hopes in the continued success OF the
Republican party, and given their confidence
to its representatives in Washington. These
hopes cannot be blasted wiih IMMUNITY, nor
can their confidence be betrayed without dis
aster to all concerned.

evidence Of the folly Of all Congressional at
tempts to buy their favor andsecure from them
justice aud fair treatment TO the co.ored men
of the south, and Of their disregard for the ie-
gal rights Of that class Of citizens Al the
election held in that city Jan. 30, though the
Republicans largely outnumbered the rebels,
they were defeated by five hundred majority
in consequence of the outrageous trick which
proved so successful in Georgia. The proyis-
ion DISTINGUISHING all who had not paid tax
e. had been inserted in the city charter, and
then the collectors refused to receive the
taxes 81 more than twO-thirds OF them
enough to make sure an easy rebel victory,
securing the control of the city government
to them for three years.
And this is the return Southern rebels are
making everywhere for what is claimed to be
magnanimity on the part Of Congress, but
what all conquered rebels" look upon as
cowardly submission extorted by our fears,
and what a great many loyal Republicans
look upon as a very weak and mischievous, if
not a very cringing, kind of policy. Neither
Congress, the Republican party, nor the
Government, receives any credit for it. On the
contrary, as the experience OF the last four
or five years abundantly shows, every new
concession made to the South, every new at
tempt to allay and placate rebel hatred and
lawlessness, but increases their bitterness,
and insolence, and outrages.
The few facts we have stated prove that
now, in the face Of their pledges to acquiesce
in all the measures of Congress designed to re-
store the Union, and secure equal rights to
all the people, and after the numerous hu-
initiating concessions made to them by the
North. they are as bitter enemies of the Cow
crnment, and as violently opposed to the
reconstruction acts Of Congress and the prvi-
legcs they guarantee to the colored men, as
during the rebellion, or at any time previous.
Is it not time, then, to Try holder and sterner
policy: Leniency and Cancellation have ig'

The Good Samaritan.

A few DAYS since Miss Jenny Bowman,
who had rooms on Sd street northeast, was
turned out on the street because a small
child left to her care by 4 deceased sister
had been taken with the smallpox. Having
no other place to go, she was compelled TO
accept the offer of COlOred woman living
near by to occupy part Of her house, and
the lady and her young patient are now
there.
We take the above from the Washington
Ereniag Star Of the Both ultimo. Having no
other place to go, she was completed to ac-
cept the offer of "a colored woman" etc.
How sad that colored woman should thus
force social equality. She should have waited
until the white race had outgrown its preju-
dice before performing such an act of kind
ness, and we are little surprised that the
Ecsning Star did not give it. readers lengthy
editorial on the forcing Of social equality, as
it did at the time that Mr. Freund, of ice
cream notoriety, refused to serve respectable
cOlored men at his restaurant. But il does
nothing of the kind. When the nations life
is in peril, when Union prisoners are e5cap-
ing and need assistance, when contagious
disease is abroad and the white ace loses its
feelings ofhumanity for its own race the negro
Is acceptable, but when that negro after hay
ing proven his humanity, his patriotism, his
philanthropy, enters Il public inn or res
taurant respectfully he cannot be accommo-
dated, and becomes Immediately guilty Of the
terrible crime Of "forcing social equality" as
the Star had it in the Freund case.

Condition of the Pacific Railroad.

Mr. CLARK, the President of the Paciiic
Railroad Company, reports that the company
has received subscriptions for 367 $50 shares,
having par value OF $50, 200, OF which
$50, 7Gj 900 have been paid in. The entire
cost Of the road, including unadj usted bal
ancc>. was STA ,25s ,53j, and its entire i'll
dcbtcdness is 80, S94, jl2. During the year
ending June 80, 49,, the earnings of the
road from transportation of passengers and
freight, and from miscellaneous sources,
amounted to s. &c., l70, or about twenty per
cent. of the stock. The Central Pacific Road
has sol ,3S3, 100 of stock paid in, out of $751;
GA 900 subscribed; and s9,373,1G5 was re-
ceiyed from the transportation of passengers
and freight. The Indebtedness Of the COM
pany is $50, 1900, l322. The Government Di-
rectors report that the condition of the road
is excellent, and say that, with proper man
agemcnt, it can easily pay all the demands
upon it, including the Government lien.
But if the condition OF the road is so favor
able and il is able to pay the Government
lien upon t-by which we suppose is meant
the interest on its bonds the Government has
advanced-we do not understand why such
bitter opposition should be made to the propo-
s,ion to apply to this purpose the amount
charged the Government for transporting
troops, supplies, and the mails. How can
they pay their lien es sier than By such appli-
cation of the pay due them for this service
They are pledged TO pay the interest on the
bonds the Government has loaned them, and
yet they obstnately resist all attempts to

II will be seen from this table that from
1864 to lsGJ there was healthy increase in
the production Of pig-iron, averaging over
l5G 900 tons per annum. We now know that
if the trade had not been checked and tam
pered with by tariff tinkering the same causes
which made the increase from 1865 to 1869
would have continued to operate in 1870 and
1871.
On the lst of January, 1871, it is talr to
suppose the year commenced with surplus
in makers hands of at least $50, 900 TONS
On the lst of January, the 100000 tons
made in ISL was all in consumers hands,
and furnaces were all sold ahead. The sur
plus of 1870 was absorbed with the produc-
ton, making the consumption Of 1871 at least
$50, 900 tons.
The natural requirements OF the trade Tor
1872, as based upon former consumption,
would be about ., 400, 900 tons. If this was
reduced 20 per cent. by the effect Of high
nrices the amount needed would still have
been .92O 900 tons, or 10000 tons more
than was estimated to have been made in
1871. And if we add the product Of 60 new
furnaces, five months OF the year, at 1885,
900 tons, and the product OF some 10 or ~
old furnaces, which had not contributed to
the product Of 1871, but were brought into
use for 1872, say 100000 tons, we have, as
the least that could have been made during
lsT2, ,39s coo tons.
