The Government and tho Pacific
Railroad.

Railroad
The old saying about shutting the stable
door after the horse has escaped is applicable
in measure to the government and the Pacific
Railroad, for that gigantic concern secured
two hundred millions of dollars or so in bonds,
land and money before the country woke up
to the stupendous job and frauds connected
with it. Nevertheless, the government has, at
the eleventh hour, resolved to save what it can
from the yearly drain upon it of interest
money, to which it is pledged, on the bonds Of
the railroad. The exposure Of the Credit Mo-
bilier and other grasping and swindling opera
tons of the managers and other parties
interested in the Pacific Railroad have checked
Congress and made the government more
vigilant. The Attorney General has, conse-
quently, just decided that the government has
the right to retain money claimed for services
by the railroad company for transportation for
the government as long as any interest owing
by the company on its bonds to the United
States remains unpaid. In other words, the
government will pay itself, as far as it can,
for the heavy Indebtedness Of the company
out Of the charges for transportation This is
about the only way it will ever get anything,
and the decision is proper one The COM
pany, seeing it cannot fleece the government
and people any longer, has begun to econo-
mize by abolishing the general deadhead
system. Perhaps some other way will be
found before long to make the Pacific Rail-
road pay both the future interest on it's bonds
and the back interest which the government
has been compelled to pay as the endorser of
these bonds.
IHH LATE CHffr JCsHTrcE. The funeral SER
vices over the honored remains of our late
Chief Justice take place to-day at st. Georges
Episcopal church, Stuyvesant square, at three
p. NJ, under the direction of the Rev. Drs.
Hall and Tying. The body will then be re-
moved to Washington. where second funeral
service will be held over it on Monday next,
in the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
church OF that city, whence the casket will be
taken to Oakville Cemetery, Georgetown, D.
G. Meantime dispatches from all parts of the
country, in announcements of meetings and
resolutions OF respect to the memory of the
deceased statesman and jurist, testify to the
universal veneration in which his memory is
and will be held by the American people.
There are few men to whom, in departing this
life these words-"Let me live the life of the
righteous, and let my last end be like his
will more aptly apply than to our lamented
Chief Justice. His life was that of believing
Christian, and death to him was but the
portal to higher and happier existence.

THE OCEAN WRECK.
Additional Details or the lost ship.
How ,he Passengers Met their Fate.

LONDON, Dec. 2, 3 A. M.--Captain Urqu-
mart, of the Tremounthin, reports that
when he met the Lochearn, her bowsprlt
was gone and there was large hole in her
bow above the water line. The boat con-
tinued searching around the place where
the steamer went down for six hours.
The rescued people do not blame the
Lochearn for the collision. Her officers
and crew did their utmost to save life and
only two of the survivors remained on the
Lochearn che of whom had gone mad and
could not be removed.
The first boat from the Vile De HaVre
was sent to ascertain if the Lochearn could
render any assistance. The Vile De
Havre, Is insured in London for e90,0
The four boats lowered by the Lochearn
found the passengers and crew floating on
the waves, holding to planks, buoys, spars,
and whatever could be seized as the wreck
went down. Many had thus prepared
themselves from the first. Many of the
women saved were floating in the water
The Captain of the Vile de Havre is re-
ported to have been quite exhausted by his
three days and nights of uninterrupted
duty. The officer who was in command
when the collision took place was lost.
The suiferings of those who were rescued
We're intense, the cold being very severe.
Many persons were nearly insensible, and
would have utterly persisted in five min
Utes more. The rescues were nearly all
matter of haphazard, as time
permitted no organized effort or attempt at
choice. The purser of the steamer says in
a few minutes the ship began to sink
amidst great disorder and frantic terror.
The scene was awful beyond all description,
the air was rent with shrieks, but some
were heard saying calmly, "as we must
die let us die nobly." The water rushed
inio the hold with incredible velocity. /
understood myself and with companion
Jumped overheard and swan toward the
Lochearn, when half mile distant. As
l looked back L heard the ship cracking
and saw her 90 down, with one plunge
forward. For moment the shrieks were
terrible, and then all was silent, alas it
SYas the silence of death
Special dispatches give the following ad-
d:tional intelligence about the loss of the
steamer Vile de Havre: Most of the pas
eengers were too much terrified to save
themselves. Many prayed and many laid
down with the calmness of utter despair.
Some, hearing the water pouring into the
ship, never quilted their state rooms.
Whole families thus went down together.

LONDON, Dec. -, a. M.--The Times,
in leader on President Grants message,
says excessive privileges in regard TO free
dom from search claimed for vessels bear
ing the American flag, would confer inn
munity on an open pirate. Such preten-
sions are indeed short-sighted for a mer-
camille nation. We cannot for a moment
believe Congress will adopt the suggestion
10 prohibit National Banks from paying
interest Oh deposits. We do not agree with
the Presidents financial remarks general
BY, and think he is wrong in attributing
the recent troubles to the peculiar charac-
ter of the currency. His advice to return
10 specie payments would be more satisfac-
tory if the President had told the country
how to do il.
The article praises the message for its
moderation of tone in general and on the
Cuban question in particular. England
will unreservedly support TIE policy which
requires that Spain must really, as we'll as
uominally control Cuba.
The DAILY NeiCS says the Presidents
language concerning the Virginius affairs,
are moderate and dignified.
The Daily Telegraph sees in the demand
Cor the abolition of slavery in Cuba me-
mace, which will greatly increase the diff
cuties of Castelar's situation.
The Standard thinks the only result
shat the threat against Spain will have,
Cyill be to hinder an adjustment.
MADRID, Dec. At is reported that the
Spanish mission at Washington has been
offered Figueras.
The bOmbardment of Carthagena by the

slroVed. At the request of General Ce-
ballos, commander of the Government
