Railway Projects.

Every movement of a prominent
 railway officer, undoubtedly has some significance regarding railway busi-
 ness present or future. Very recently Mir. Green, vice-president of the great Pennsylvania Company, of which
 Thomas A. Scott is President, made a trip to the Pacific Coast. Some of the
 papers naturally enough stated be- lief that the visit evidently had some reference to a reported compromise with the Central and Southern Pacific IcOmpanies on a basis referred to re-
 gently by telegraph, wherein 1t was given out that Scott & Co. would be left alone to build the Texas Pacific
 directly to the Pacific and the other companies to alone build the Thirty fifth parallel road. We have some req sons for believing that Vice-President Greens visit had no reference to any such compromise, and very strong ones for declaring that the Central and Southern Pacific people have no thought of any such compromise which with them would be yielding
 everything on the Southern line and
 gaining nothing elsewhere in return. The California railway men are prac-
 tical railway builders, and are build ing more new road than any other company in the United States. They have decided to cover Arizona with all
 the railways she will need, and their work proves that their decision is real. They consider Arizona Pacific Coast
 Territory and that her trade naturally
 belongs to the Coast, and that the ter
 ritory is embraced within the area oi their projected system of railways. Very soon their trains will run to our
 western boundary, and no other road
 is or will then be within 700 to 1000 miles of us. It is in their plan to build
 road from MOhave, station about lOO miles above Los Angeles, to the Colo
 rado near the Needles, and thence into
 and through the Territory as may be
 deemed best at the time. They will consent to no compromise that will
 hinder their road to Yuma continuing
 eastward at least to the boundary be tween Arizona and New Mexico. We
 are quite positive they are ready 10 compromise so as tO give them unob-
 structed passage eastward to our east
 ern boundary, and they very recently, . if not now, entertained strong hopes oi f efectinC such an agreement with the Texas Pacific authorities. They in
 tend to have one and perhaps tw O through east and west roads in Ari- zona, and as many cross lines and
 feeders as business may require from time 10 time.
 With these decisive purposes on
 part of the California company, Ari- zona has only to show proper liberali- " to greatly hasten railroad facilities through her entire length.

Nothing of moment has been done by Congress The Democrats in caucus have reSOlv- ed to await the reports of their com mjttees and in the meantime that the pending question between the two par ties respecting electoral votes should be preserved distinctively.

 We see that Mr. J. P Cum and wife arrived here on the steamer this morn ing. Mir. Cum IS the Indian Agent for the Apaches in Arizona and is on his way to his post of duty. I'm, brave and carnes. young man has proved himself 10 be the most cOmpe tent agent whom the government has ever placed in charge of the Apaches. He controls these wild Indians with 9 degree of success that has asionished those who have known them longest and best. Under his firm and yet mild management it is believed that the Apaches will yet be transformed into a. peaceful and industrious Indians as the PImas and MaricOpas now are.

EASTERN STATES.

WASHINGTON, December 9-In the Senate today, President Ferry decided that the twenty second joint rule was not in force This question will come up again in the House and there are some hopes of a similar decision there.
 Both houses are discussing the feas- ibility of proposition of Carl Schurz to amend the constitution so that the supreme court may count the electoral votes and decide Presidential elections The excitement over Presidential ques- tiOn seems to have considerably sub sided, although much anxiety is still expressed by the most thoughtful men
 It may however on the whole be said that more general confidence prevails that the matter will be peacefully de cided and the result accepted without serious disturbance in any quarter. The southern Democrats defeated the sug- geStion to impeach President Grant Ben Hill is no longer red hot; on the contrary he declares that the South wants no more war and if the buster ing home guards stir up war they must fight it out themselves. It is believed that he expresses the opinion of all who have their wits left.
 Senator Edmunds has introduced Carl Schurz's proposed amendment au thorizing the Supreme Court to connt the vote and decide all controverted questions. This proposition will come up as the next business in the Senate and no doubt is entertained of its pas sage by that body.
 Intense indignation was caused in Washington and New York by the news from Oregon. Governor Grover will probably not be admitted to his seat in the Senate.
 The Democrats in the Senate OppOs- ed the printing of the evidence in the ! Louisiana case. Morton said the sin gular spectacle was presented of Dem ocrats denouncing the returning board as a fraud, and yet objecting t) the publication of the evidence which de termined their action.
 Senator Mitchell of Oregon, thinks there will be no trouble about the ac- tion of the Governor, he having gone clearly beyond the law and exercised judicial functions, whereas the law of Oregon distinctly confines him to the strictly ministerial duty of giving cer- tificates tO the persons who receive the | highest number of votes. All with
 whom he has cOnversed on the subject. ! hold that the certificate attested by the
 Secretary of State will be sufficient ! BROOKLYN, N. Y, December g.

Ferry Meets the Indians and De-

We find The following important tele-
gram in last evenings Chronicle:
Chicago. August ia Times Fort
Sully dispatch says: indians from the
hostile camp have arrived. with reports
that Terry's command had encountered
the hostiies and that the latter had been
Aunked by General Gibbon and badly
beaten. The Indians acknowledge one
hundred wounded and Sitting Bull be-
ing shot through both thighs. They are
quiet on the subject of the number killed
An Indian can travel By direct route
FROM Sitting Bull TO the Agency sooner
by several days than a courier could
reach Bismarck from Terry. The re-
ports are generally believed here.
Another dispatch, dated St. Paul,
MINI, August 10, states that Gen. For
sythe Of Sheridans staff LEFT Terry last
Tuesday at the mouth OF the Rosebud.
The report that Terry had fallen back
eighty miles is all nonsense. The even
ing before Forsythe left scout from
Gen. Crook camp had reached Terry.
The dispatch further informs US that
the scout, alluded to, furnished the news
that Indian trails had been found lead
ing towards the east, between General
Crook aud he Yellowstone, and june
ton Of General Terry and Crook, al
point further east than the Big Horn,
vas likely to prevent the escape Of the
Indians 10 the east ard north of the
present scene of operations. Another
misstatement found is TO the effect that
the troops under General Terry ara dis
heartened at the prospect before them.
Colonel Smith, who accompanied Gen.
Torsythe, co.t-adicts This b2seless story.
On the contrary, lie says Gen. Terry and
his men are in the best of sipri:s, and are
