At the banquet given to General Crook
in San Francisco Senator Sargent, in
response to the toast drunk to the Pres
ident OF the United States, said:

that in his own view, and by his wish.

his burden OF labor is to be laid down.
This man, whose will during trying
years of civil war was the chief hope OF
the nation-whose inflexible purpose and
tire!ess energy we're as necessary to sue.
cess as the armies he directed and in.
spired; this man of iron, in the prime OF
his manhood tires Of public cares, and
will gladly seek for rest from oppressive
labor. For years past had opportunity
to observe and know him, and l have
learned to love and admire him. know
from his own lips that he looks with an
xiety for the speedy end of his service
| In o recent conversation he said to me
II have had no rest during the past 81,

OGDEN. April II. = 1t holds warm
along the Union Pacific Railroad, and
the snow continues melting, and unless
the weather changes it will be several
days before the water will begin to fall.
Until it does nothing can be done toward
repairing the track and the bad places.
The U. P. Agent here has instructions to
engage twenty-five teams and send them
forward to-day for the purpose Of trans

trains have left Ogden yet, and none will
go east until arrangements for transfer

day. There are three bridges gone and

THE RAILROAD BLOCKADE.

We publish this morning series OF
dispatches showing the condition Of the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t appears that
the waters on certain portions Of the line
are still very high, and already have
done vast amount of damage. What,
with snow in the Winter and freshets in
the Spring, it seems probable that travel
ON the present Pacific lines is always
likely to be exposed to much Interrupt
ton in the Spring and Winter months.
These hindrances which must occasion
great inconvenience and expense to those
who are en- route. causes people to turn
their attention to the Southern route,
which would be in q great measure free
from the vexatious delays to which the
present lines must Away be liable. 1t
would, however, seem merely Tying
from Scylla to fall into Charybdis to rely
on Tom Scott's Texas Pacific, but really
if that line could be constructed
with some cast.iron provisions that
would secure the people against fraud
and the ultimate consolidation with the
present monopoly. it would seem as if
great benefits would flow from its con-
struction. It would open the vast accre-
tons, of metallic wealth that there is
every reason TO believe that Nature has
stored in Arizona and New Mexico. II
would not be likely to be INSTRUCTED in
winter or Spring and would be q COM
peting line to keep the present monopoly
in check. There is where the trouble
would come in. These monster CORPORA.
tions are so difficult to control and WELD
such vast influence, that it would be as
difficult to prevent q practical combine
ton between the two roads as it is to
perpetuate the rivalry between the pres.
ent railroad and the steamship
company. Further, it is to be re.
membered that a complainant Congress
coolly, quietly and deliberately ex-
changed the peoples first mortgage lien
on the Pacific railroads which was worth
something, for second mortgage which
was worth nothing. What was once
done, may be done again, and conse-
quently if aid were extended to the
Texas Pacific, there is no assurance that
the loan of money or credit could be Sc
cured, or If it we're. that it would not be
given away. Lastly, the possibility OF
combination rises to the view and gives
warning that every check safeguard and
precaution might be useless to prevent
roads are good deal like the SYPHILIS
books, they must be had, but the price
to be paid for them is so inordinate, that
renders it doubtful which OF two evils is
the least, whether to submit to our pres
ent railroad taskmasters or create others
whose rule may be just as bad. 1t looks
like realization of the fable of King
Log and King Stork. The public is
bound to be gobbled in any case.

BY WESTERN UNION LINE.
Eastern DISPATCHES.

OMAHA, April 17.-Oficial reports OF
Division Superintendents to the Union
Pacific Headquarters to-day on the
water blockade do not show any material
improvement in the situation. While
some OF the mountain streams are falling
others ore rapidly rising and carrying
asaT s So al so large Bridges have been
lost, and if the food should subside
rapidly the damage could be repaired in
few days as the railroad has its entire
construction equipment and upward of
500 workmen on the ground with ma
terials for the work. A force of laborers
arrived at Rock Springs from the East
to-day. and the company are working
theoretically at the breaks and feeding
and doing everything for the comfort of
passengers that it is possible under the
circumstances. Many Of the immigrant
passengers detained here waiting to pro.
coed East have run out of money, and
are beginning to call on charity for sup
port. 1t is uncertain when any train can
start East from here. There are now
over 1000 passengers delayed on the line
between Cheyenne and Ogden, but all
are at points where they can be amply
supplied with provisions. Immigrant
passengers are generally being fed at the
expense of the company. Nearly 200(
California immigrants are waiting trans
portation here, who are boarded free o
the expense Of the Union Pacific I'm

Superintendent.
OMAHA, April 18.-The officers canno
give any definite opinion when trave
will be resumed. 1.-THE flood has nc
: yet spent its force. The difficulty is yer

has been that our wires have been dowr
