TON & Co deemed II wis'r - pay these
gentlemon $4,000 for the "a shares OF

But the Central Pacihr gentlemen were
greatly disappointed in rcXpcatitiOus.
To their great surprise tn supervisors of

receiving par value for their 2jg) shares of
the hitherto Improbable stock Of the Cen
tral Pacific road. When they learned the
terms of the compromise made with
BRANNAN and LANBARD IL occurred TO
them that they had lost $3.50, 900 by selling
to the first man who clme along and so
they brought suit 10 recover the profits
that had accrued on their stock prior to
the sale.
II this suit had boen brought by private

The Reforming Repubiicans-Geuerai Joe
IIuMiey,

From ne SoiJaaReLf RsDabHcaH.
In on years, when there was no state or
Presidential election pending. they have talked
reform IN their papers and elsewhere talked IL
cloquently and beautifully They have been very
hard on the CoTuptionists; sometimes naming
namts-as in Gen. Butler's case-oftener CON
tenting themselves with NirtuOus generalities
They have even yentured to oppose and criticise
single acts Of the Administration. But the mo-
ment the test has been applied 10 them they
have failed. II there was one II them who might
have been confidently expected To stand IL, II
was Gen. Hawey. Yet We saw Gen. Hawley 20
into PennsylNanla last year and address the Re
behalf Of Simon tameron's candidate for GOV
etnor We saw him 20 from PENNSYLVANIA 70 In
diana, where he ldbored side 10y side with this
same drcadtully Improper Ben. Butler In Mr.
Murton's corner uf the political vineyard, Ass ur-
ing the simple lIooslers that certain things we're
false, which he has since found out were true,
and going on the bond of President, Congress,
and party with AN enthusiastic confidence which
subsequent events have hardly justified. This
surely, II not the WAY TO reform the Republican
organization.
Yet Gen. Hawleyis one Of the best and pluck
lest Of the reforming Republican politicians
They are all IN the same boat. They have ali
got into the hault Of weakening AT critical iunc-
lures, compromising with the enemy, Welding

will New Jersey Speak 2

New Jersey holds an election this fall
which, though not ~ important as that OF
last year, will nevertheless cause her poll
ticians TO meet in county conventions all
over the state. This will afford Rcpubli-
cans and Democrats an opportunity to ex-
press their opinions concerning the con-
duct of their Senators and Representatives
in Congress in respect to that living issue
of the times, the back-pay steal. To enable
these conventions to free their minds on
this subject we will point to the record of
their Congressman.
Mr.. FRELINGHrYsEN, the Republican
Senator, sent his extra pay to the Treasury
some time since. JonN Z. STOCKTON. his
Democratic colleague, still sticks to the
plunder.
The delegation in the lower House Of
the Forty-second Congress consisted of
three Republicans aud two Democrats.
Two of the former have returned their
back pay these are JouN HILL, who re-
sides in the northwest part of the state,
aud GEORGE A. HALsEY of Newark.
Neither of these gentlemen was reelected
last fall. Senator FRELINGuUYsEN and
Messrs. HILL and HAIsEY are all of the
New Jersey Congressman who have scorned
TO thrust their hands into the Treasury
and draw thcrefrom extra compensation
for work already performed at rates pre-
viously agreed upon.
Three members keep the money. They
are JOHN w. UAzELToN, Republican, and
SAMUEL &. FoRKER and IoHN 4. BIRD,
Democrats. HAZELToN is the only New
Jersey member of the last Congress who
was reelected TO the present House. He
represents the southern district, which Is
largely under the influence of the CAM
ERoN Ring of Philadelphia politicians. He
is n man of no mark, having been placed
sixth on the Agricultural Committee; and
If the honest Jerseynen whom ho dis
grnces in Congress had dreamed that he
would have participated in thieviug job
like the salary steal, they would have
beaten him out of sight last November.
They ought now to denounce him and de-
mand his resignation.
And what excuse is there for the two
Democrats, FoEKER of Bordentown, and
their conventions this fall will not the
Democracy whom they have betrayed stun
them with the cry, Send back the stolen
money"
Can GOV. PARKER afford to have the
Democrats of the state keep silence Inv re-
gard to the conduct of STocKTos, FoRkER,
and BIRD on this test question?

Rumored Sale OF the Old Long Island
Railroad.

A rumor prevailed the latter part of last
week that Mr.. OLIVER CuARLICK had
sold his railroad. This Is the old road
through the middle of Long Island, eX-
tending from Hunters Point TO Grcenport,
with several branches. The purchasers
Were said to be the present owners of tue
South side road.
Whether there is in fact any foundation
for the report we do not know. People
who professed to be thoroughly informed
put IL in circulation. But We hope il IL not
true. The interest of the public is to have @
the lines of travel competing instead OF
having them concentrated in the same
hands. Mr.. CHARLICK, notwithstanding
his unpopulaiity, has managed his railroad
well-in most respects very well. He has
greatly improved the road bed in many
places, and has replaced the detective ties
and rails by new ones Of superior quality.
The trains are generally run on time and
at a fair rate of speed. II is true, n was
recently charged 10y the Nc,C YORK Times
that "A considerable portion of the road still
remains unfenced; but no steps are taken
TO enforce the law which requires II TO be
fenced, and probably no other owner
would do any better than MIR. CuARLIcK
in this respect. The allegation of the
Times that the conductors are rude must
have resulted from transformation. We
know of no road in the country on which
not only the conductors, but all the persons
employed, are more uniformly polite.
But the principal and most important of
all reasons why we hope Mr.. CHARLIcK has
not sold out is that the road is run with re-
markable success in point Of safety; and
in this essential we fear that any change in
the management would be for the worse.

for selling whlskey ana violating the intercourse
law and taken to Fort Smith for trial ; but al
though witnesses were present to testify In his
case, a nole proc. was entered and NASH was
permitted TO depart In peace shortly afterwarl
NASH sold out his stock OF drugs and closed no
his business. Why he did this was a mystery to
his friends at first, but after time the rumor
gained currency that he had given his note Tor
$500 20 Judge SToRY and another for IS o
to Mr.. HUCKLEBURY, the District Attorney
Judge STORY, becoming indignant that his char
acteT should he assailcd in such a manner,
ordered the-unted States Marshal, as we are
Informed, TO arrest NASH and bring him before
the Court for contempt. without waiting for
arrest NASH made his appearance in Fort Smith,
but the United States Marshal declined to i'm
prison him. The matter coming to the ears Of
the Grand Jury that body endcavored to inyes-
tigate the business but failed, as NASH refuses
to answer any questions, and the attendance OF
Deputy Marshal STEPHENSON, who II Is said can
throw good deal Of light on the subject, could
