 Some of Capt Goodales men are widening and otherwise improving the new military road from the Fort to the Agua Fria.

ELSEWHERE will be found the announce
ment that Tom Scott has charge Of combi-
nation of the Southern and Northern Pa
cifc Railroad lobbies to secure the guarantee
of the interest of SIS, 900 bonds to each
of these bankrupt companies to enable them
to complete their lines. Of course it really
means that the government shall pay the in
terest on $780, 900 for term of years
and finally the principal. Indeed, the scheme
really means more jobbery, more credit moz
biliers, more corruption. 1t is matter of
grave doubt if either of these roads is needed
at the present time since one Pacific railroad
scarcely pays its interest and current ex-
penses. The Southern States are also urging
an issue of bonds for the refunding of the
cotton tax, ,and there is an interest asking the
payment of the debts of the States in which
slavery existed. IF Tom Scott can make
combination to carry his friends for the latter
jobs, he will secure nearly every vote in the
Southern States for the railroad schemes.
If the other spectators who will be asking
for appropriations to dig canals, build rail-
roads and enlarge and fill rivers can fool the
members into believing that the country de-
mands any such improvements at the ma
tionaI expense, King Scott will doubtless car
ry his measure; but it cannot be accom-
plished short of combination of all plum
dering interests to carry through an omnibus
corruption bill. If Congress concludes to do
this, it must increase taxation in some direc-
ton. Ii that body, however, will but con-
suit the earnest wish of the country, it will
turn a deaf ear to all such schemes.
