He has stretched his rule of the New York
stock market to the Capitol in Washington,
and ordered his roads agents in Congress to
execute his decree of death to all enterprises
that will reduce the cost of transportation
across the continent"
1t is well known here that one of the
best organized lobbies ever in this city has
been here persistently working to defeat
the passage of the bill guaranteeing the in
terest on the bonds of the Texas and Pa
cific road. 1t is well known that this road
cannot be built without aid in some shape
from the Government. The roads which
Gould now controls received directly from
the Government sixty millions of dollars
in money, and land enough to make two
States larger than New York, Gould is
now using that money to defeat the build
ing of any competing road, and is using it
right here in Washington. The Texas
and Pacific, instead of asking money aid
from the Government, only asks an indorse-
ment that will enable it to sell its own
bonds at par in foreign markets, and thus
induce the investment of nearly 800, ,O00,-
600 of foreign capital in the country. Cog
nizant of these facts, should this bill be
defeated the people may inquire how Jay
Gould's money was used in Washington.

The fall of Belknap has entalled upon
the nation a deep and lasting disgrace.
His offense meets with no mitigation, ex-
tenuation or even cou ltenance from any
one. AL condemn, all deplore it.
Like any other felon, the fallen minister
has reached an estate where there are none
to do him re Eerence, and but few, if any,
who bestow upon him the slightest feeling
of sympathy, for he has betrayed sacred
confidence and dIshonored Government
that has favored and trusted him. His
fall is covered with baseness of ingrati.
tude which disarms all feeling of commits
Grafton, and excites sentiments of disgust
rather than of pity in the minds of all good
citizens.
There is a class, however, who exult
over this downfall, and rejoice at the dis
aster that has fallen thereby upon the
country, with a sort of demoniac joy.
Every Democrat, whether of Confederate
or Copperhead stamp, stands with upturned
eyes and upraised hands in holy horror
that such an atrocious crime should have
been committed within the territory OF the

FACTS TO TIE FRONT.

Standing upon the floor of the National
House of Representatives there Is a man
whose surname has peculiar niche
in history. We are speaking now of
Blackburn, the brother of the present Rep
resentative from Kentucky. He was a
doctor. History has recorded him fiend.
1t has given him conspicuous place in its
archives of iniquity. 1t has established
for him an immortality in the Annals of
crime. 1t has made him living object of
contempt, at which coming generations
will gaze with amazement for the coarse
ness of the humanity of these times. Do
the people of the North and West remem-
Der the name of Blackburn? Does a mo-
mentarY reflection bring back vision of
life is cursed by all Christendom? Have
the sea coast cities Of the North forgotten
that during the struggle for the Union of
States foul and loathsome disease was in
troduced into their midst7 Have the vete-
ran soldiers of the Union forgotten the
ravages of death, superinduced by the in
fectious small pox and yellow,ja which
the emissaries of the South, under the
direction of DR.. Blackburn. brought into
their camps? Time itself will never efface
or dim the record of this sad truth. The
pages of the worlds history show no paral-
lei to this heinous offerse. Time never
before had the requisites for the concep-
ton of such a monster decd. 1t has had
the disease and the occasion, but lacked
humanity coarse enough to conceive and
accomplish the design. Nero fiddled while
Rome, wrapped in flames, passed to Gin
deIs; Herod smiled at the blood of
the inHocents; the ST. Bartholo-
NEW mob danced over the mangled
forms of their victims the crucifers
Knocked at Divinity bleeding on the cross;
the dynamite fiend fattened and reveled
in his schemes of death Wilkes Booth
cried "sic semper tyrannis" when he muir
dered our country's protector, but amid all
these scenes of infamy and shame tower
ing high stands the abominable death plot
of Blackburn, the vilest of them all.
What picture! An American, under the
benign influences of Christian age, i'm.
porting infectious diseases into Northern
cities, for the purpose of shrouding the
homes of our loved ones in funeral pail;
planting a plague whose contagious ele-
ments were to pass through the North on
the wings of the winds. Deliberately at
tempting TO disti1l the dews of an epidemic
which was expected to cover hundreds of
thousands with the shadow of its gloom.
Innocent women and children were to be
offered up as sacrifice to satiate this
mans taste for death. All were to be its
victims. Agriculture and commerce were
to be blocked by its direful influence. The
North was, amidst the ravages of the
disease, to yield in despair. The hesrse
was to take the place of the business
vehicle, and DR.. Blackburn was to sound
the funeral knell. This is the enduring
veil ofinfamy which surrounds this Black
burns name. Ring the bell and let the
curtain drop.

THB people of the country will be sure
to INQUIRE very closely into the reasons
why this Congress does not relieve them
from the burden of the infamous monopoly
which now holds all trans continental
trade and travel in its grasp. They know
that the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads have been represented here by an
immense lobby-one, too, that boosted of
is carloads of money to be spent in de-
festiag the Texas and Pacific bill. Should
Congress adjourn without passing the only
bill which can afford them relief from this
monopoly the people will have the right
to suppose this money was put where it
1Hould do the most good.

TIE proceedings Of the ex-Confederste
blouse yesterday were not only boisterous
and disorderly, but actually disgraceful.
The members in the majority forgot the
dignity Of the positions they have proved
themselves to be so capable of dlsgracing,
and the day was wasted in unseemly
wrangling, the evident intent of the Oppo-
sttion being not to transact legitimate busi-
ness. but to make capital against the Re-
publican party in the pending New Hamp-
shire campaign. Whatever of gain they
may have made by the exposure of Bel
knlp's malVersation will certainly be
dou0iy discounted by the repetition of
such scenes as those that are SO graphically
described in our reports of the proceedings
