Can ever wreck the lovely sight,
And all our hopes and pleasures blight,
Like pyrmids her mountains stand,
From which is seen the title land,
Dotted with farms and lowing herds,
And here and there the sportsman's birds,
Dark shadows make upon the ground
While they in circles 1lY around.

And health on balmy breeze Is borne;
Red checks and ruby lips are found,
While feet elastic tread the ground.

NORMA.
BY S. NJ. CREEKBAUM.

Norma, Norma, your eyes are blue,
And blue, they say is true and tender;
tremble for them, lest too true,
Their truth brings tears TO dim their splen'
dor.
Beware OF Cupid's silver bow
He ever turks near blue eyes, maiden;
HIS shafts are sometimes tipt with woe,
Though seeming all with pleasure laden
Oh, Norma Norma! have fears
For the eyes 10 blue,
That shine so true.
Blue eyes may look through tears.
Oh, Norma Norma Is IL so?
You would not listen to my warning
But yielded to the sweet.llpped foe,
And looked through tears this summer
morning.
Does the spar.hawk guard the ringdovc's
nest?
DO eagles mourn when lambs are bleeding?
Does the false one care when the maiden =
breast
Is anguished by his honeyed pleading?
Oh, Norma Norma all my fears
For the eyes SO blue
Are true, too true;
The blue eyes look tears.

ADMINISTRATION sEE-sAwING IN
EINANCEa.

Secretary Bristow has issued his call
and proposes to pay off thirty millions
of the public debt within the coming
three months. 1t may well puzzle the
plain plodding American sovereign to
understand how such things can be.
Only two weeks ago the Government
was 50 hard up that it forced through
Congress an extra tax bill Of forty mil
lions, to bO ground out of a people
Frustrated by panic and stagnation.
Presto, change! the Government is 50
flush of funds-of gold funds-that it
is able and ready to pay thirty millions
of debt not due for years to come. It
may make the American SOW
ereign very mad, but we must ex-
plain that the extra tax was professed-
ly levied for the express purpose Of
enabling Secretary Bristow to buy up
these thirty million bonds for the
sinking fund.
In another way, the American sover-
eign is immensely interested in this
sudden call of the Treasury. As it
stands, it means that our stock of gold
is to be depleted to the extent of thirty
million dollars, because nearly all the
bonds called in are held in Europe.
This is a contingency which every body
connected with any department of
trade or production must provide for,
unless the outflow of gold be estopped
in some way Biistow has a way for
stopping it, if he wi !; that is, he may
and doubtless can negotiate with the
Syndicate for the sale of thirty millions
In thenew FIVE percents. Buthe does not
tell the country whether that is on the
programme or not. He unsettles all
values east Of the Rocky mountains by
leaving the matter In uncertainty
White House favorites may know his
plans, and govern themselves accord
ingjy, but to the masses OF the Ameri-
can people the policy of the Treasury
is a sealed book, and they must go it
blind, with loss of thirtnich iIlions in
gold impending, until Il time as
Bristow chooses to lift the Vail. Such
gross acknowledgement, converting all
legitimate business into guesswork and
speculation, il a shame to the people
who have tolerated it 50 long.
In the present instance, our mercan-
tile classes may guess" that Bristow
viii retain his gold by selling new
bonds, for the reason that he will need
it to exc out the current expenses of
the government, although by doing so
he will render ridiculous his recent con-
Germ for the Sinking Fund. To retire
S30,0O000O of skies and issue the same
amount of new fves, hardly NESTS the
demands of such a fund. With all
such double shutting, the net decrease
of the public debt during the seven
teen months from Oct. l, 1873, to
March l, 1875, has been only l,377,-
9O9.

SECRETS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
TREASURY

The Pittsbu-g Leader has latterly
taken a fancy to forestall the next
Democratic Legislature of Pennsylva-
MIA by looking into Mr.. Robert Mack
ey's management Of the State Treas
ury; and it has turned up some queer
things. 1t alleges, for instance, that
Mackey EFFORTS a division of salaries
from an immense number of Republi-
can oficeholders thrC ughout the State,
and that his annual income from this
source alone is n the neighborhood of
100000. 1t has also discovered that
Mackey loaned S232,OOO of the State
mOrey to the Allegheny Valley Rail
road Company, which failed to return
it, and the unfortunate PARTIES
were constrained to grab $780,
600 Of the water bonds of the
city of Pittsburg to make
up the deficiency. A. all events, the
Leader very broadly intimates that
S232, 900 being the exact amount Of
the felonious loan to the company, and
also the exact amount Of the bonds
feloniOusly distracted from the city,
the facts present ga most extraordinary
coincidence" to be explained by some
body.
On top of this, comes the Ne,0 York
Sun, suggesting that in another dark
corner Of the Pennsylvania Treasury
may be found evidences that the public
moneys have been fused to take up,
renew or otherwise protect the paper
of the California and Texas Construc-
ton Company" a sort of Credit Mo-
bIlier concern which is lying in wait to
bleed the Texas. Pacific as soon as the
latter pierces the Rocky Mountain
range.

THERE is some ingenuity in the ar
gument Of the Chicago Times that the
failure Of the Force bill renders Grant,

than its enactment could have done
With such an electioreering engine,

ried'' for any other candidate as easily
as for Grant, by the Louisiana pro-
cess; without the Force bill, the only
dependence Of the party is the bread

cerned, and it has SO far worked much
more satisfactorily.
From their report this year we learn
that the average cost Of constructing
Massachusetts, railroads las been 49,
900 per mile, and equipment $4,000.
These figures are obtained without re-
gard to "stOck and indebtedness,
which may represent fictitious or tenn
porary values The average gross
earnings per mile are Sl1, 424, Of which
SO per cent. is consumed IN operating
and 81 per cent. remains as net profit.
Most Of these figures are too high for
Western States, Massachusetts, being
more densely populated, and its roads
being built more substantially and bet
ter equipped than ours.
One of the principal reforms de-
manded by the Commissioners this
year IS to require Of the roads "a rigid
and uniform method of keeping ae-
counts" They complain that the
more prosperous companies present a
very large operating account, while
those not prosperous make out a heavy
construction bill, and rice Uersa. They
hold that operating expenses should
first be paid, embracing IN these the
preservation of road and rolling stock
in good condition. The balance, after
paying dividends, should 60 first
to paying their debts, and
then to the reduction of rates.
In no case should earnings
be devoted to the building of extern
sions; fresh capital should be called in
for this purpose. For a similar reason,
the Commissioners are very severe
upon tie plan adopt by many cor
porations of "eapitalizing" their earn
ings. The argument is that the COM
pany, by this means, taxes itself too
much 20 pay the increased dividends.
There is much here laid down that will
not please the public or the railroad
men; yet these views result from the
most prolonged and deliberate study
yet given to the subject in any country.
The commissioners take a favorable
view Of the result of the Granger move
ment, which Is, perhaps, correct as far
as it goes, though it omits such i'm
portant points as the effect of the
movement in checking legitimate in
vestments in American railways. They
say: "The great issue involved in the
struggle is already decided; the essen
tial victory on the part of the commu-
nifty Is secured. The sense of account
ability to the public as well as to
the stoek-holder5 the necessity Of deal
ing equitably, under heavy response
bility to public opinion; the recognition
or the distinction which exists between
a railroad corporation and manuf4c-
turing company, all these material
principles are for the future re-estab-
ished. These also were the practical
points at issue. With the tacit recog-
milton Of these principles, the abuses
incident to the former system of rail-
road management will pass away, and
with them the feeling of popular anger
which they very naturally provoked"

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT IN MAS
SACHUSETTS.


The Massachusetts Railroad Com
missiOners, of whom Mr. Charles Fran
els Adams, Jr., is chairman, are a pecu-
liar board. Their main purpose is to
obtain and report accurate information
concerning the railroads of their State
They have no executive powers. They
can hear complaints, investigate as to
the facts, and report to the Legislature
what the facts are and what action Is
in their opinion required, andhere their
authority stops. The constitution of the
boards conservative. Its function is
strictly one Of precaUtion. Recognizing
the completely and difficulty, as well as
the Importance, Of the railway system
and its relations to the public, Massa-
chusetts seeks not to wrest its manage
ment from the hands of these imme-
diately and most largely interested, but
to lay before the public in an official
manner the best information that can
be obtained, Trusting to the force of
public opinion to remedy actual evils
without mourning greater ones. The
plan is in marked contrast to that
adopted in several Of the Western
States; it is in much closer harmony
with the nature of our Government; it
recognizes the rights of all parties con-

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of
the NelC Orleans Times suggestsin the
following paragraph one of the princi-
pal difficulties that stand in the way Of
Grants third term aspirations, unless
the women crusaders take the White
House promptly in hand:
The President has greatly changed
IN two years. His face Is red, ap-
preaching at times to purple, with APP
oplectic threatening, and, if looks au-
CUR anything, there are chances that
the third term question may be settled,
if bec hanges not his course Of living,

THE MEXICAN ERGOYAUTs.

We learn by q Washington special
to the Cincinnati Gazette, good Repub-
lican authority. that che United States
steamer Dispatch, the one fitted cut fol-
last summers cruise Of the Naval Com
nlittee, is 10 be ordered to New Or
leans to take Senator Cameron s party
to Vera Cruz" But Cameron and the
twenty other Senators who are booked
for this Mexican trip, are not a Naval
Committee, nor any other sort Of CON-
mittee so far as the records of Con
gress 90, and the taX-paying public
have some right to know exactly why a
United States steamer should be fur
nished for their private use. Whether
the proposed trip be merely a diversion
in favor Of Tom SCOTS Texas Pacific,
or an effort to secure valuable railroad
franchises in Mexico for Gen. Rose
Grams, or a purchase Of the silver mines
IN Sonora and Chihuahua, or, IS some
contend, a scheme TO revolutionize
these two States and annex them to the
American Union-in any case, this
misrepresentation of a naval vessel rep
resenting the United States calls for
explanation.
