National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-01

TIE New York Tribune of Saturday con-
tains a sensation, stock -jobbing dispatch
regarding the condition of the national
finances. There is nothing new upon the
subject at all which has not been commu-
nicated to Congress in the special message
of the President accompanying the esti-
mates for the protection of the shaking fund.
Every person who has watched the re-
ported customs receipts as compared with
former years is fully aware of the deficit
from that source. But the Secretary and
the Committee on Ways and Means, instead
of being dismayed and panic-stricken, as
intimated in the Tribune dispatch, have
already framed a bill which is nearly
perfected in all its parts to provide
for all threatened DEFICIENCIES, and they
have no doubt that it will meet with
the approval of Congress and of the people.
The citizens of this country are exceedingly
jealous of its honor as a nation, and are
willing to be taxed to any extent necessary
to meet their engagements. They know
that the Republican party has for some
years past reduced the interest account of
the nation by elevating Its credit and re-
funding its debt at lower rates, and reduc-
ing both debt and taxation at the same
time. They also know that the falling off
of the customs revenues is attributable only
to the personal economies of the consumers,
who have been cleaning out the old stocks
instead of purchasing new. The present
condition of affairs surprises no man of in
telligence-not even the Tribune CORE
spondent; but he has probably been I'M
able to obtain the text of the new tariff bill
as yet, and he has resorted to this sensa-
tional method of smoking it out

"HAvE the United States formally gone into
bankruptcy? 1t certainly looked like it when
the Government compelled the creditors of the
District of Columbia to accept at par in dis
charge of their claims bonds bearing interest at
the rate of SOS, and worth only seventy cents
on the dollar. Except for the fact that the
creditors were not consulted and were COM
PEELED to submit to the loss of thirty per cent.
of their claims, this proceeding closely resem-
bled the sort of compromise by which bank
rupt merchant wipes out his debts. But now
Congress has failed to make any provision for
the payment of the interest on the bonds.
This is not bankruptcy but Reputation. Can
the Government afford to be guilty of so petty
and contemplate an act of dishonestyP
We copy the foregoing from the New
York Graphic, and commend it to the
serious attention of Congress. The citizens
of the District are under obligations to the
District Commissioners for their timely
action regarding this most important mat
ter No effort has been neglected by the
Commissioners to obtain the necessary
legislation by Congress. In fact, IN their
anxiety to secure that legislation they have
supplemented their official communications
with personal appeals to members of both
Houses. Gen. Ketcham, Gov. Dennison
and Mr.. Phillips are in no way to blame
for the failure of Congress to provide for
the maintenance of the District credit, and,
what is the same thing, the credit of the
General Government.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Your forcible advocacy of internal i'm
provements induces me to offer some remarks
as to the feasibility of constructing the South
ern Pacific railroad and the grand results which
will obtain from the same. l may say large
part of the country through which this road is
to pass is known to me, and 1 venture the opin-
ion without fear of contradiction, that more
even surface generally cannot be found on the
globe.
In this broad eXpanse of country we find
nothing really which can be called an obstacle.
But two ranges of mountains are to be passed;
first, the Gaudaloupe, just beyond the Pecos,
and the coast range of California.
You advert to the circumstance in your issue
of the 3Oth that gentleman was snow-bound
for ten days on the Kansas Pacific road, with
the thermometer twenty-five degrees below
zero. You would never be called upon to
chronicle such a fact as having happened on
the Southern Pacific, should this road be built;
for here we have no SHOWS to obstruct, and no
frosts to upheave the track, thereby causing
intense suffering and immense expense. On
the contrary, we will have the most salubrious
climate, a clear, clean track, as level as floor
III etISlSuSs OItSu VI my lllSs vi HlOiSI duu ds
straight as bee-line. As the boys would say,
'crackey," how they could run over this route!
1 confidently believe this grand trunk will
be the favorite road of our people; and, indeed,
the great highway to the West, of the nation.
Few men have any idea of the mineral wealth
ofthe Northern States of Mexico, and of our
territory contiguous to the same. Build this
road and mineral resources will be opened up
to equal, if not rival those of California.
Many other arguments in connection with this
question might be offered, but content myself
with sending you these few hastily-written
words, with no other object than to add my
mite in fUrtherance of this grand undertaking,
viz: the construction of the Southern Pacific
railroad; which subject, conclude by saying,
think should engage the attention of every
well-wisher of his country.

THE st. Louis Globe, one of the bright
est and the best Republican journal in the
West, disposes of the Third Term question,
Cor any number of terms, for that matter,
by denouncing the six-year term PROPOSE
ton of the House Judiciary Committee as
absurd. cit is absurd" says the Globe,
because it assumes that though the peo-
"ple re elect Presidents through their own
"free will they are consumed by an in
tense desire to be prevented from re-
electing Presidents; absurd because it
asserts that though the people have in
variably- reelected a good President
when they got hold of one, yet they
Fought not to be allowed to elect the best
" of them; absurd because it pretends that
the voluntary action of the people is an
evil which calls for redress, and that the
" redress which a mere majority could
/" grant at once if it wanted to do SO, can
secure thepower of two-thirds majority
when it comes up as separate question. "
The Globs might have added that the
amendment to the Constitution under dis
cussion was prepared, urged and mainly
supported by the Democratic party g.,
the party which has for years denounced
opposing political organizations as Consti-
tuition thinkers. Attn same time the lead
ers of that party assume to know that the
people have no desire to re-eleet President

THE New York Times entirely misap-
prehends the situation and misleads its
readers when it asserts that the prolonged
session of the House last week was intended
to secure the passage of the Civil Rights
Bill. The leaders of the Republican party
in the House selected that bill as the most
obnoxious measure to the Democratic party,
and forced contest over its introduction
for the purpose of demonstrating the arbi-
trary power OF the minority over the desires
of the majority. They succeeded in doing
this, and the result will be a modification
Of the rules to-day to deprive the minority
of the privileges it has used with such
vicious ability. The next step may be to
pass the Civil Rights Bill, but the amended
rules will permit the immediate passage of
more important party measures.

Foreign Relations, and honest man. were all In
ventiOns Of bis own, and not the promptings OF
the Secretary of State: now that he stands up
boldly and proclaims himself a knave, and reck-
lessly adds insult to injury, and impudent and
insulting kilograms in answer to gentlemanly and
courteous letters, and all because he is not re-
sponsible for words spoken in the House, let him
look to the future. Like the ostrich with his
head in the sands, he fears nothing, and imag-
ines he is not seen by his pursuers; but like the
silly bird whose conduct he intimates, he is In
error. Mr.. Hoar Will not be a member OF Congress
on the 9Th of March, and he has been sufficiently
long the associate ofgentlemen to become familiar
with their practices, even II he can't appreciate
their instincts" This language, and the threat
contained in the last sentence. cannot be mis-
understood, when coming from such q man as
Webb. He is the same ] ames Watson Webb who
publicly caRed the late James Gordon Ben
nett, in New York city, and who sfEerward caused
the duel between Graves and Congressman OIlley,
in which the latter was killed, and who subse-
quently fought q duel with Tom Marshall, OF
Kentucky, in which Webb was wounded in the
calf of the left leg. This is the same calf which
James Gordon Bennett alluded to In the Herald
as the one which Webb carried with him to TIE
watering places and elsewhere. For leaving the
State ofNew York, to fight this dual, W b. vas
tried convicted and sentenced TO four years In the
penitentiary, and pardoned by Mr.. Seward, who
was then Governor.
