PIPE. LAYING IN PENNSYLVANIA
A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Harrisburg. Pa. dated September 25,
says
"There is very strong probability
of war between the railroad monopolies
of this State and the seaboard pipe
line, the enterprise that has been
undertaken by the Pennsylvania Trans.
portation Company. The railroads
have received for carrying oil between
$40, ,000, 900, and $50, 900, coo, and it is
believed that they will attempt to
prevent the laying of the pipes along
and under the tracks, employing an
armed force if necessary. The con.
tracts for the pipes through which oil
is to tlowto the seabord have been
given out. The line will have a capacity
equal to one-fourth the present produc.
ton or about 30,C 30 barrels day, Mr..
Henry Harley, president of the Penn.
sylvaniaTransportation Company, says
that it is proposed to borrow from
manufacturers the entire capital for the
project, and $780, 10 more, the $780,,
W to be expended in -ying the debt
that the existing company is unable to
pay. The company will require 28G
miles of four inch pipe. The work is
to be completed by he first of Decem-
ber next"

THE INIT RNAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS.

The Chicago Trlbune wrestled labori-
ously TO prove thst the better elements of
the Republican p,rty have the control,
and hence they are reforming the party.
The Tribune makes q v.rv pretty story,
but its effort to as I've the party from
''the recent acts of the president" is not
logical nor conclusive. Ii admits the re-
SpODsibility of the party Tor the salary
grab and subsidy legislation. but disclaims
tho responsibility for the individual acts
of the pr sioeDt. That would be isir
enough il the party had repudiated Grant,
but, on the contrary, il indorsed him and
mis- admiDistrs' ion. The very element
that now controls the party, aud that
nominated Hayes and Wheeler, indorssd
Grant isirly and squsrely. Thev are and
have been the advisers and controllers OF
Grant. Tue CoDklings, Mortons, Logans,
CsmerOns, Hsrtrsnfts, all of the inner
ring, united to defeat Bristow, who did
represent the reform element, If we nav
believe the utterancss of the Tribune,
W.T. ich was his cniet supporter bsfore the
CincinDau convention. The reform or
better element" of the party was de-
tested, and defeated bv the Grant ring in
the convention Grant nominated bis own
man. His friends are Hayes's special sup
pOrters. The Office hoI isrs are all for
Hayes. The reform element of the party
II there really Is any such element in the
ranks, has no more control for the future
than they now have over the acts of Grant
which the Tribune lsments. Hayes is a
mere mskeshift to secure the support Of
such papers as the Tribune, that threat
ened to bolt II Blaine was nominated.

Not Much This Year.

Looking over our own city, and consider
I snp some resent events, we certainly ought
10 be very cheerful. We are not prospecting
very brightly. hut still we are calm, and con-
f,dens, and we are slowly but steadily ad.
yancing. Some few sales Of real estate con.
vince us that faith In Richmond is strong,
ard that there are 10 existence plans Tor
future enterprises that men have high opin-
ions OF.
When we consider the position Of the city,
her relation TO the means OF distribution OF
trade, inseriorly and exteriorly, and her re-
.lation to The stores of mineral wealth IN the
State, we cannot exclude from our minds the
.*lozlcsl deductions that represent her future
as exceedingly bright. All practical men
take. these points readily into view, and
many who come and look upon our city and
go away after few days carry with them
: Impressions that are favorable to Richmond,
and tend to the formation of schemes for
their individual participation in the pros.
perity which they-can clearly foresee.
ID The present Is the year for e!ecting Presi'
dent. The presidential "craze" always
puts heavy weight upon industry and en-
terprise Everybody is afraid to do any.
thing. The scurvy politician is afraid that
he may lose strength amongst the people if
ne does any thing, and therefore he gives up
practical legislation ard deyotes himself to
President.msking, hoping pcrsistently that
something will "turn up" for his good. SO
that we here Ia Richmond will only be
checked by the periodical obstruction that
checks people and cities everywhere, while
we really have the consolation, as we be-
iiege, of knowing that the paralysis is greater
almost any here else than 1t is in Richmond
We have the best reasons, therefore, to be
cheerful, while the wises! considerations
epjoin upon us to be both patient and pru-
deat. We must not look for much this year.
The enormous contraction" brought about
by the existence of law fixing day for
resumption has borne with heavy hand
upon sl sections; and We see that under the
influence of the presidential strategies Of the
day no measure of relief soon is at all proba.
BILE. All parties are afraid, Notwithstanding
tha. the country is plainly in favor of re-
peal Of the resumption act.
After the election Of President we are
sure there will be great change for the
better; We are almost ready to say no matter
who is elected. We will, however, say in
the case of the election of any man who pro.
badly at this time stands chance, if we get
a good map all will be glorious. But we can
hardly have any man elected who will prove
SO Objectionable as to seriously impair the
energies'of the nation in the process of re~
cuperation, nor check decidedly the steady
restoration Of harmony amongst the States

General HETH writes practical and ortho.
dox letter to General GORDON, Of Georgia,
on the subject OF turning over Indian affairs
to the War Department, where they should
have remained from the first. The General
is correct when he intimates that the Indian
Bureau was invented by politicians to in
crease the number Of Offices and the amount
Of re wards for partisan service. The Indians
must be governed by force. Persuasion
will not do. They cannot be civilized, ard
they cannot be restrained save by force. Let
them be ruled by the War Department.
"Quaker guns will not do. Give them
their reserves, and keep our own people out
of them. That would be honest and fair.
Yet if with the best precautions the Gov
eminent can take coliisions ensue, why we
must fight them. That cannot be avoided.
