The Herald this morning says it is re-
ported that there is an alliance, often
sive and defensive, between Colonel
Tom Scott and Jay Cooke, and they,
with all their auxiliarias, are about to
make an onslaught on Congress through
their lines. Scott is in Washington,
and has already had interviews with
numerous Congressman. Application
will be made to Congress- it is said, for
aid to both the Northern and Southern
Pacific railroads, but it is not proposed
to ask such aid as will add to the pub
HE debt. This, the Herald thinks,
means large slice Of public land, and
also, perhaps, the loan Of bonds. 1t
advises the Government to let the pro-
jects alone, and if the people will make
railroads before they are wanted let
them do 80 AT their own risk.
