We believe il is quite time for Congress 10
pause and review the general subject OF rail-
way grants before it commits itself to any
further expenditures, or pledge OF inc

when the first project for the construc-
ton of a transcOntincntai railway took shape
what enormous speculatiOns would be pushed
forward under cover of the precedent tLen
established, if it had been anticipated that IN
a few wears Congress would give away to prl-
vate companies an area of land as DlS as
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, all
mt together, orr statesmen would have hesi-
tated long before they voted for the bill
which brought the Union and Central Pacliic
Railroads and Gre lit Moblier Companies INTO

is now to drag the Northern Pacific Rail-
road out of the mlre of its embarrassmentS, 1t
il no secret that other roads will insist upon
similar favors. No one can tell where the
process will stop. Combinations are already

It is a good moment to cry halt to remember
that the building of railroads is not the proper
business of Government.
The original Pacific Railroad had certain
claims upon the assistance of the nation which
cannot be advanced by any of the other land
grant enterprises. Ten years ago the flourish
ing cities, the rich mining lands, the fertile
fields and valleys of the Pacific coast were
separated from the rest OF the world by Il
vast wilderness. To unite them with the
East was a work not only Of commercial but
of military and political Importance. That
has been done. Other transc0ntinental lines
are merely business ventures, and they should
be built by business men and on business
principles. The Northern Pacific Road had
IFS origin in no real or supposed
public necessity. II was Il scheme for making
money nothing more; and If it is pushed

of causes: its projectors bad 40 capital. In
stead of money they had land; and If there
is 10 market for the land it is clear proof
that the road is not yet needed. Way then

GOVERNMENT RAILROAD BUILDING.

The new scheme of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company for floating its bonds Is in
tricate and ingenious. 1t will require a close
examination, which we may take occasion to
give it some other day; we need only say for
the present that the Company, having failed to
sell either its land grant or its bonds proposes
that the Government shall undertake the sale
of the land on its account, and shall give
currency to the bonds by advancing the
money required to pay the interest on them.
In short, the Government is to assume the
fiscal agency of the road, left vacant by the
retirement of Jay Cooke 81 Co. 1t will be
seen that the fundamental idea of this scheme
is the same which runs through all the pre-
vious dealings between Congress and the Com
pany,-the idea that the road is a great national
work in the sense that it is to be paid for
out of the National Treasury, but strictly
private work in the sense that it is to be
owned by private persons and operated for
their individual profit. The ownership of
the road is in the hands of n small
body of stockholders, who contributed none
of their own money except triiling amount
for preliminary expenses. 1t was intended
that the Government should pay the whole
cost of construction by means of a grant of
public land, and Congress 10 now asked to

The net dent of the City of New-York on
Nav I. 1871. was ssi,675,O73 and on the 1st of
the current month, $l4,oG0 55i-an increase of
$40 DOG 4s1 in three years. The amount to be
raised by taxation this year has not been
fixed, but it is certain to be many millions
less than the amount expended. 1t is already
asserted by high officials that the city cannot
stand a rate of taxation sufficiently high to
nav its share of the State tax, the interest on
its debt and it's current expenses. This we
do not believe, but we do believe that the
steady, uninterrupted increase OF the debt
must be stopped, or bankruptcy will before
many years stare us in the face. Look at the

The City of Cincinnati is in the market for one
million dollars of its authorized ten million loan for
the purpose of constructing its railroad south
through Kentucky and Tennessee to Chattanooga.
The bonds bear the double guarantee, first of the
faith of the city, and second OF first mortgage
upon the road. They pay Z $40 per cent
interest, and are negotiated mot below
par by the American Exchange National Bank.
The work for whose construction they issued is
a wise effort to meet great public want, is to
pay well from the outset, and is regarded by the
citizens of Cincinnati and of the whole Ohio Valley
as indispensable to their due development and
growth These are hard times for railway securi-
ties, but there is solIdty about this loan which
fully warrants those in charge of it from utterly
scouting the idea Of considering any bids below par.
The whole Of the West and South does not seem

The House of Representatives has a good
chance to show what it thinks Of polygamy.
Delegate Cannon of Utah is the happy hus-
band of four wives. His seat was contested
by Mr.. Maxwell, who did not so much pretend
that he was elected as that Cannon was a
polygamist, and, therefore, unfit to sit with
Representatives in Congress. Inquiry into the
facts resulted in the opinion that Cannon is
legally entitled to the seat The House then
proposed to look into the moral conduct of
Delegate Cannon, but some of the members
(who had also friends in the Senate) thought
it would not be pleasant to continue the in
quiry. The conclusion of the whole matter is
that Cannon gets his seat, and the House Will
think about his polygamOus connections.

Brooks's crisp lecture to the President on
his duty to Arkansas will not, humanity
speaking, add much to his chances of Presi-
dental recognition as Governor of that I'M
happy State In effect Mr.. Brooks says to the
President If you think Baxter is Governor,
".say so if you think | am, say so. You can
"put Baxter into the State House at the
"point of the bayonet, but you will violate
"the Constitution if You do. Anyhow, don't
"let us have any more shilly-shallying." The
message of the bellicose Brooks amounts TO
lust this. 1t is high time that something of
the sort was said to the President, but there
was small courtesy and less discretion in
Brooks's language. We are significantly told
from Washington that his refusal to accept
the Attorney Generals basis of settlement
will tell disastrously on his prospects. We
may therefore. aside from all considerations
of law and equity, consider that Baxter Is
coming to his own again.
