/ The last decade of our country's his.
tory, presents more radical changes in
men and political parties than in any
like period preceding it. Of Mr.. Linz
coins chosen constitutional advisers,
when he came into the Presidency, but
single survivor adheres to the party of
which he was then the recognized head:
neither his chief mouth piece in tie
Senate, or the Chief Justice of lis ap-
pointment would now be allowed a vote
III ward caucus OF his party. Tel
years ago the man who has succeeded to
his party honors and leadership had
just been raised from an obscure clerk
ship in small leather store, 10 the
command of a regiment, and was threat
ening to resign if the President adopted
the abolition policy in prosecuting the
war; his present chief lier1tenants are
sherman and Sheridan; the first was
then superseded in his command and
denounced as dlsloyal and insane for
his structures upon the Administration;
and the second was court martialed on
charges preferred by Gen. Curtis, for
acts and expressions of sympathy with
the public enemy. Then Moseby, the
guerrilla leader, was the terror and de-
testation of all Union men upon the
border of Virginia and the District f
Columbia; to-day he has the friendship
and confidence of the President to a
greater degree than the nearest friend
Mr.. Lincoln has left on earth, and has
but lately been rendered by the Presi-
dent, aud declined. position of honor
and emolument in the Government
Then A. H. Stevens was Vice President
Fof the Southern Confederacy; now he is
IA Member of the Federal Congress aud
an aTowed supporter of the Administra-
ton. Among the acknowledged leaders
who claim by right Of succession to the
party of Mr.. Lincoln, there is not
prominent man who was among his ear
'ly supporters. Nor has the Democratic
party undergone less remarkable chan
ges. as is manifest in the fact that Hor-
ace Greedy, lifelong opponent of the
Democratic party, received the nomina-
ition and support OF that party without
protesting any change of principles,
against Ulyssis S. Grant, who had al.
ways professed to be Democrat.
These facts clearly show that the
principles and issues involved in the
old arty organizations are obsolete.
A new order and new men now direct
the Government, personal considera-
tions alone controlling its policy.

PREsKNT EArBARRAssMKNT.-Report having been
circulated to the effect that the New Ter South

suit had been begun against 1t by Prosper p.

which about 0me million dollars hAd beon eNpens

ted TO defrAy the cost Of the extension The trOn

An ntlnchm0nt was obtained against ~ prop
Cfty OF the company, but could not be served as
all the property u in New Jersey. He brought
this suit under advice, but now regretted having
done 80 and intended to take no further steps IN
the proceedings Jay Gould, who retired from
the board q direcloIB after De lae eloctiOn In 3
change untavorable to his management, had ad-
vanced 100000 for the work of constructing ths
extension. and is a creditor Of the road to thai
amount. Besides the debts due to those who are
or have been officers Of the company, the corpo-
ration owes about $500, 900 to outside parties for
the furnishing OF supplies, &c. The former cred
itors are secured by bonds of the road, ,hnt the
latter are in . differOat position. 4tfty
Mr.. Shawsaid that b Offset these obligations
was the whole property of the company, In
Guiding about $1,000, 900 Of bonds In its trea-
sury. fuller investigation of its affairs, since
he was induced to bring suit against 1t, had
convinced him that 1t could be made to meet
all liabilities and become profitable enter
prise. He knew Of no steps to throw the road
into bankruptcy, and believed that none would
be taken.
A committe has been appointed 70 form a
plan for raising money and completing the
line, the idea being to in some way dispose 0t
the floating debts due the outside parties. and
to obtain &375, 600 for finishing the work
The lastnamed sum, which would be sufficient
for the purpose, would probably be raised
among the directors, while the outside
creditors would be induced to grant an ex-
tension or to take the bonds Of the road at q
fixed value.
This is the road, as a line between New
l Ork and Baltimore, in connection with which
the Baltimore and Ohio Company has agreed
to run barges hence to Rock Hall, the south
ern terminus, in keRt county, MaTyh1ds- but
to which it has advanced no money and for
which it has assumed no obligations. 1t only
agrees to run the barges as a connecting link

A correspondent at tMeMinnvllle, Tenn, writes
10 inquire why the Hon- 8. S. Cox is cOmmOnly
called Sunset Cox, and our correspondent desires
that we should hurry up with the answer. The
reason is that in q speech which Mr. Cox made
many years ago he described with all that brilli
ancy and rhetorical effect of which he Is master
the gorgeous splendors that sometimes surround
the setting sun; and thereupon some political
scoffer applied the description TO mis- name. B0C
sides, the initials OF his name also suggest it,
But We can assure our correspondent that 1t is
not because Mr.. Cox is of . sunset or sinking
nature. He is Lively, wfde-awake, active, friend
ly man, and q useful public servant; and We are
glad to believe that he is now about to be elected
a member Of Congress for the tenth or AAeehth

called Sunset because Of glowing description he
