A. 0aksy Hall Stopping Over.

New York Correspondence OF the Sunday Herald. J
1t has somewhat surprised US here that A.
Oakley Hall should have been 50 brimfuII Of
knowledge that he stopped over at DelmonIcos
and stopped over into ShanKs' bucket. As Mr..
Hall truly remarked, with that keen perception
and profound wisdom possessed in an equal
degree by no other man in the city, probably,
unless perhaps Charley Spencer, If We all told
what We knew what q row there would be ?
Exactly 80. have heard the same remark made
by elderly females who did not look unlike Mr..
Hall at sewing circles. 1t is fortunate for Fer
nando Wood or Stockwell, or whoever Mr.. Hall
may have finally settled upon as the person he
really did mean that he did not unloose the food
gates Of his knowledge and involve the Pacific
Mail Company in anal ruin. Perhaps, had the
witnesses at Mr.. Halls recent trial for malfeas-
ance in office told all they knew, Mr.. Hall would
not have been pleasantly lunching at Delmonlc0 s
in the aesthetic society Of Tribune essaysts. MI.
Halls ingenuity aud address as q criminal lawyer
were never more brilliantly brought TO the sur
face than during the progress Of that cause eeLebre
His signature, A. Oakley Hall, Is too we'll known
to need more than o reference. Daring the trial
he suddenly became Abraham .. Hall twas q
singular coincidence that the foreman OF the jury
was Jew, as were several OF the jurymen. Mr..
HALLS practice has largely increased bat It Is no.
probable that he VIII be engaged to supplant
Olarkwell.
II is very evident that Mr.. James Gordon Ben,
nett doesn't owe August Belmont any money.
Driving I'D last summer before q marine villa 10
Newport, be hailed q servant and directed him to

there. HOh that be ID" said the editor OF

THE TEXAS PACIFIC,

EVANSVILLE, n. c., Jan. 30, $50.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR From what have seen of THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN in reference to the Texas
and Pacific railroad 1 infer, while the paper
has not taken up the cudgel for that enter
prise, it will nevertheless be patriotic enough
to concede that 1t is Of right due the South,
and that Congress ought 10 give such aid as
will insure the completion of the road.
1t does not look we'll in the New York Tri-
bUne, which seems to have such earnest solicit
tude for the Southern people, to be making
war upon an enterprise in which they are so
much interested.
1t is unjust that Northern men should re-
fuse this assistance to our section when so
much Of a similar character has been done for
theirs. The cry that it is going into the hands
of any particular set Of men, or ring, will not
answer as a cause of opposition. Under the
law in the case, the road must be built as the
means are furnished. We want the road, and
it is a matter of indiffer enee to US who builds
It. Besides being Of so much value to US sec
tionally, it is eminently of national Importance.

The Milk in tha nnnnannt
Washington Correspondence of the Lcu,s-I

lWashin gtou Correspondence OF the Louisville
Courier-Journal.l
1t has transpired that the combination to beat
the Texas Pacific railroad bill is engineered by
@. P. Huntington and Jay Gould, who have Joined
forces for this purpose. These two railroad mag
mates had q secret meeting at the Fifth.avenue
hotel in New York on Sunday last, and the re-
suit is already visible In an increase Of the crop
Of newspaper literature In opposition to the
measure. The papers and correspondents sub
jeet to the influence Of Gould and Huntington
seem to have had their orders lately to open an
s5tIYe IRE on the Texas Pacific. At the same
time, the more practical work Of opposition before
the committee OF Congress 10 actively carried on,
and counter schemes gotten up to distract and
badly Uniformed friends OF the great Southern
line. The secret OF this combination Is well un-
deTstood, Jay Gould being the real owner of the
Union Pacific railroad, and Huntington a large
owner, and also the controlling intellect Of the
Central Pacific railroad, and also of the contract
and finance company, which grabbed the princi-
pal share Of the profits. These parties naturally
desire to maintain their present monopoly OF the
raiload communication with California, and thus
to increase the large profts already received by
them from Congressional subsidies to the Central
line owned by them. 1t is believed that they
would not hesitate to spend millions of dollars to
The Northern route they have no fear Of Jay
Gould does not think It prudent to come here In
person, but Huntington Is on the ground aided
by his deputy or agent Francholt. to whom he
pays $50, goo per annum to manipulate the leYis-
lation Of Congress.

THE New York World and the journals
of the country generally of its kidney are
engaged just now in an attempt to deceive
the public regarding the purport Of the
new rule adopted on Tuesday for the
government of the House of Representa-
tives. The rule requires no defence when
it is truthfully explained; but the World
and its followers do not make truthful
explanation of its intent. They charlc-
teriZe it as an act TO break down the last
''bulwark of the rights of minorities in Con-
''gress." In truth, it retains reasonable
protection of the rights of the minority,
because it gives them the power to postpone
final legislation long enough to allow rea-
sonable debate. The World itself has al
ways denounced the House as q gas factory
and has uttered some of its most earnest
philippics against the inclination in that
body to waste time in prolonged debate. 1t
cannot now consistently object to the rule
in question, because it provides against the
very thing the World has always objected
to. Even now the civil rights bill is being
discussed under the terms of this rule, and
the discussion will be continued untila vote
is reached tomorrow. Does the World pre-
tend to say that this is an unreasonably
short time for such discussions discus
sion which from the very nature of things
cannot change or influence a single vote,
because each and every member of the
House has already made up his mind how
he will vote when the question is finally
put? Would not the World, under the old
rule, decry against more prolonged discus
sion than this as buncombe and a useless
waste of time? But the objection of the
World is based upon the fact that the new
rule deprives the minority of its power to
defeat the wishes of the majority. In
other words, it takes away from the minor
ity the control of the House, and places it
in the hands of the majority, where it be-
longs. Again, it gives to the people, as
their views are ascertained by the COM
plexion of the present House, the privilege
of making laws, and deprives the minority
of the privilege of preventing the people
from making laws. The people when
they understand the working of the rule,
as it is now being exemplifed in the dis
cussion of the civil rights bill, will rejoice
at its adoption, because 1t provides for more
work and less talk, and at the same time
illustrates the great principle of our Gov
eminent, that the majority shall rule.

Mr.. JAMES c. GOLDSMITH, for three years
past the editor of Frank Leslie's Weekly, has
resigned his position on that journal. Mr.
Goldsmith, although not yet thirty years Of
age, has been in journalism since before the
war, and is one of the ablest and most prom
Using journalists in the country. Under his
management LesEis'S Weekly has not been behind
Harper's in the power and ability displayed
in its editorial and literary departments, and
has gained national reputation. We under
stand Mr.. Goldsmith has been offered lead
ing position on the editorial staff of the New
York Herald. We are sorry to see a journal
list of Mr.. Goldsmith's high standing ssso-
ciating himself with a newspaper so weak and
trashy as Benefits Herald. But, then, It is a
blessing to have one man of brains in the Gin

WE HAVE built bay window in our

who send US communications sustaining
Free Love, Women's Rights and Women's

seriously, that so large a number of people
seem to be favorably interested in the first
of the foregoing questions. If they prac-
tice as they would like to preach through
our columns, there must be a great deal
going on of which the general public has
no knowledge. We are inclined to believe,
however, that the majority of these theo-

ceded that he was elected Governor by

THE WAY OPEN TO RENEWED VICTORIES.

1t will be the fault of the timid men,
the political recreants and the moral
towards, within the Republican organiza
ton if that party does not renew its vic
tories over the Opposition. The way is
now open to renewed success, and all that
is required to reach the goal is pluck. 1t
is in the nature of things that, when a
party has had control Of Government
patronage for q long period of years,
ieaIousies and chickering's should be de.
yeloped, on account Of the distribution of
that patronage. Disappointed ofice-seekers
begin detection to party principles by spout
ing frOthy denunciations of party officials
Unthinking people accept these denuncia'
tons as evidence of the weakness Of the
party itself, and finally when, as in the last
Presidential campaign, an effort is made to
accomplish so-called reforms, the aggrega-
ton of bafled place-hunters rally about
