Tn. Pacific Railroad Decision.

The decision delivered yesterday by the
Supreme Court of the United States affirm
ing the judgment Of the Court of Claims that
the Union Pacific Railroad Company (and,
of course, all the Pacific roads, are not bound
by law to pay the interest on the bonds
issued to them by the government until the
principal becomes due at the expiration
thirty years from their date-will
shock the public sense of justice however
conformable it may be to law. Attorney
General Pierrepont showed in his argument
by citation from the debates, that Congress
intended that the interest should be paid as
it accrued, but the Court put this line of
reasoning aside and refused to consider it,
resting their decision on the language Of the
statute itself If the decision is cor
rect the statute was huge blum
der. In addition to all the other
swindles perpetrated by this company, in
cluding the scandalous Credit Mobilier, it
artfully contrived to get law passed couched
in such language as defeats the intention of
the Congress which passed it. 1t is a most
extraordinary and unexampled thing for a
debt of thirty years to be allowed to run
through the whole period with the interest
unpaid until the principal falls due. 1t is as
repugnant to all sound business principles as
it is contrary to custom If such be the
meaning of the statute Congress did not pass
it with its eyes open, but was hoodwinked
by some of the cunning tricksters who had
the enterprise in charge
The long argument of the Court in justifi-
cation of so monstrous law does not seem
particularly pertinent All the considera-
tions founded on the necessity of the road
for purposes of national defence are
quite extraneous to mere ques-
ton of Interpretation. Of course Con-
gress recognized the necessity of the
road, or it would not have given the enor-
nous subsidies in the form of land grants,
nor have issued and guaranteed the bonds.
But it does not follow that Congress meant
to violate the plainest business principles in
allowing the bonds to run to maturity
before the payment of the interest. If
the strict wording of the statute
requires the Treasury to be thus
swindled the Supreme Court would have
discharged its duty in so declaring, without
trying to Justify Congress in passing SO alb
surd law. The Court has quite needlessly
gone out of its way to indorse blunder for
which Congress is alone responsible We
are bound to accept its decision as the true
construction of the law, but the passage of
such law was fraudulent and indefensible.
Nobody has any reason to rejoice at this de-
cision except Jay Gould and his associates,

Mr. Kerr and claiming his election
as a trophy of its power. Tammany

Tammany up. That odious band of secret
conspirators is maneuvring TO control the
next Presidential canvass, and Mr.. Kerr's
election to the Speakership is the first step
in their game 1t is something more than
mere plan to take the Speaker from the
West, in order that he may not stand in the
way of Presidential candidate from the
East ; il is a policy of ''rule or ruin" in

to such committal on an exciting public
question that the party would thereafter
stultify itself by running Western demo-
crat for the Presidency Nothing less than
this is the Tammany scheme, and nothing is
so certain to foil it as the knowledge of its
origin. When Tammany, after having been
beaten and disgraced at home, attempts
to transfer its scene of operations to
national politics and again resorts to
the stale trick of masking its character be-
hind a respectable fgurehead, it deludes
nobody but itself The democracy of other
States understand the artful underhand
ways in which Tammany influence has
been exerted to get Mr. Kerr pushed
in places remote from New York and
thereby escape detection. The plot is
perfectly seen through, and the fact that
Tammany is at the bottom of it will cover it
with democratic scorn. All the underhand
activity which has been expended during an
industrious summer and autumn, with
view to make the democratic organization of
the House a means of killing off every
Western candidate for the Presidential NOM
ination, has completely miscarried, as will
be seen when the question of the Speaker
ship is brought to a vote in the democratic
caucus

Fernando Wood and the speaRership.

Fernando Wood and the speakcrship.
We are pleased to observe that Mr.. Fer
nando Wood has withdrawn from the con.
test for the Speakership. In view of all the
circumstances this action on the part of Mr..
Wood is wise and proper. He could scarcely
hope for an election, and by remaining in
the field he might have done infinite harm
to his party and the country. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Wood, who is an unusually astute
and clever politician, was influenced by these
considerations in Withdrawing from the con-
test but accepting this as the fact it will not
do for him to stop here. still greater duty
is imposed upon him, for no one knows
better than he the trickery of Tammany
Hall, and no one can deal heavier blow
just now at the one-man power of that or
ganization. If he wants to place the coun-
try under still greater obligations to him for
his act of self-sacrifice he will throw his in
fuence in favor of Mr.. Randall, because to
support Mr.. Kerr would be to assist Tam
many. Should he fail to do this he will fail
in his duty and injure himself. Knowing
Tammany Hall as well as Mr.. Wood knows
it, there would be no excuse for him should
he help to fasten the rule of that odious
society upon the whole country. We hope
he will not allow any such imputation to be
fastened upon him, either by giving his sup
port to Kerr or showing lukewarmness in the
contest

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE
WAITE that he will under no circumstances
be candidate for the Presidency before the
Republican Convention is an example that
might well be followed by the President of
the United States, It'may be said that it is
beneath the dignity of the President to take
this step, but certainly the dignity of the
President is not less than that of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. If President
Grant will only follow the example of his
learned colleague in the government, the
head of the Judiciary, it will be--good for
The republican party

The Paris Office or tho Now York
Herald.

The interest excited by the publication of
the weekly cable letter from Paris, which APP
peared in Sundays HERALD, justities us in
again drawing attention to the opening of our
Paris Office on the Avenue de pOpera. We
have attached to this Office reading room
containing newspapers from all parts of the
world, and especially from the United States.
We have on file at this time over two hundred
and thirty American journals, representing
thirty-nin States of the Union, so that any
citizen sojourning in the capital of France
or travelling over the Continent will
find all that there is of America
in the way of journalism in the Paris
Office of the HERALD. This makes our
Paris Office the rendezvous or the focus
around which continental travellers cluster.
Heretofore Americans were driven to the
banking house and hotel rooms for sight of
an occasional newspaper from home There
was no general place where they could meet
and compare notes and feel that they were
in the atmosphere of home. The Paris Office
of the New YORK HERALD supplies this want
and illustrates more and more the tendency
of journalism to bring the great cities of the
world together.
Whatever we may think of the French
people and their character, their customs
and their government it is certain that we
are largely dependent upon France. In our
art literature and drama and fashions France
is the source from which we derive q great
deal that tends to beautify and illuminate
our social life in America. Therefore when
o journal like the HERALD finds itself tele-
graphing every week q special letter from
Paris we are simply answering the same de-
mand which made us years ago telegraph
letter from Washington. The telegraph is
SO universal in its range, 50 swift and so
accurate in its service, that the true journal
Is compelled to use it for every purpose.
There is no more reason why citizen of
New York who reads the HERALD should have
to wait two weeks for news of the last play
of Dumas, or the latest fashion, or the gov
erning sensation in Paris, than that
we should have to wait for stage coaches
and the mails to bring us in the
detail of the debates in Washington Paris
20 90 nooA W No" AoAh Dy CcioSIaPn 10
Washington. To be sure the distance
makes telegraphing more expensive, but
this is q question that cannot be con-
sidered by an enterprising journal. Our
duty is to utilize any agent which enables
us to print to-day the news of yesterday. If
that agency costs us seyenty-five cents or
dollar word, as is the case with the cable
news, or only few cents, as is the case with
dispatches from Philadelphia and Washing
ton, that is our concern. The public has its
rights which the true newspaper is only too
glad to respect.

MIR. Stanley's mph.

The work of Mr.. H. NJ Stanley, the COM
mander of the HERALD and Telegraph expedi-
ton, has already received the sanction and
Endorsement of the British Royal Geograph-
ical Society; but the meeting yesterday,
of which we have special report
by cable this morning, is even more
significant than the more formal dis
cussion some days ago. The assem-
blage was an unusually brilliant one, being
graced by the presence of many distinguished
persons, among them some of the most noted
African travellers of the time The purpose
of the meeting was to hear an address by
Colonel Grant on the value of Mr..
Stanley's discoveries and explorations,
and the paper is described as COM
plete Endorsement of Mr.. Stanley's views
in regard, to the Victoria Niyanza. Sir
Samuel Baker joined in Colonel Grants
high estimate of the value of our explorers
services and suggested that no reward was
too great for him upon his return but the
most remarkable feature of the meet
ing was Captain Burton's acceptance
of Stanley's verifcation of Speke's views
and his graceful acknowledgment Of
his own error. This ends all contro-
versy over opposing theories in regard to
the sources of the Nile problem, and gives
a new importance to the remarkable letter
which we printed yesterday, and adds q
new interest to the still unfinished work of
tba axnad;tion

THERE Is ONE FACT which ought to be re-

Speakership. They cannot go into bust
ness on a national basis and take charge
of the country with success upon any
honest man in the New York democracy
and Mr.. Kerr the only honest democrat in
Congress. This is the nature of the present
canvass for the Speakership in Washington.

because if the country should take them at
their word it might turn out-Jad for the
