Railroad Jobbers in the Senate.

The election of E Ii. ROLLINS to tho
Senate from New Hampshire adds another
railroad jobber aud tool Of the great cor
porations to the Republican majority of
that chamber.
His predecessor. CRAGIS, was submissive
enough to the dictatiou OF this interest in
all his votes and action. Still he was not
Treasurer Of the Union Pacific nor owned
by its Board Of Direction, nor did he ever
pay out of the funds belonging to tho
stock and bondholders and the Govern
ment, SCI, 600 for $4,000 of worthless Little
Rock aud Fort Smith bonds. which passed
into BLAIsE's hands, and was used "in
| forty-eight hours" TO redeem tho bonds
he had sold in Maine.
A large part of the Republican majority
in the Senate is now composed of counsel,
agents, bondholders and Ring dependents
Of the great railroads which were subsi-
died by Congress, and have failed to pay
even the interest on the capital which they
received.

The Distrust of Savings Banks.

The run on the Dry Dock Savings Bank,
which commenced on Monday, continued
yesterday. We presume that the bank is
perfectly sound, and that the depositors
who are drawing out their money are need
lessly alarmed; but, like the rest of the
public, we know nothing of the actual
facts of the case. The officers OF the bank,
of course, say that its assets are abundant
ly sufficient TO meet its liabilities; but so
likewise said the officers OF the Third Ave-
nue. Savings Bank, the German Uptown
Savings Bank, the Security Savings Bank,
aud all the other banks that have broken
within the past two or three years. As TO
the Bank Superintendent, nobody expects
anything from his intcrposition. II has
long been the regular practice of his de-
partment to whitewash every rotten con-
cern II has examined into, on the plea that
TO tell the truth would shake public conf
denoe and bring on panic. What wonder
that poor people. who hear that their earn
ings are In peril rush to secure them on the
first suspicion of danger?
1t is shame and reproaoh 20 our civil.
ization that so little protection is afforded
to savings bank depositors, not only against
loss, but against such alarms as that which
now prevails in respect to the Dry Dock
Bank. II sufficiently detailed reports were
exacted of these institutions, so that ordi.
nary business men could judge OF their
condition, and II the Banking Department
would only exercise due vigilance 10 pre-
vent an improper use of their funds, al
trouble could be avoided. AS things now
are, we blunder along in happy-go-lucky
fashion, which affords knaves ample op
portunity for fraud, and gives honest mel
no assurance OF safety.

Carrying Elections by the Bayonet.

We learn on responsible authority that
which, couple of months hence, when
the political campaign gets hot in the
South west, Lieut.. Gen. SHERIDAN will take
the active command of the troops there,
with his headquarters at New Orleans
This arrangement, as We are assured, is
made with the appreciation Of SHERIDAN,
who enters heartily into the idea. He
must naturally relish the work Of deci-
sively crushing the class of citizens whom
he once denounced as banditti because
they would not look tarncly on while the
Louisiana carpet-baggers stuffed the bal
lot boxes with fraudulent votes, aud threw
out legal votes, and tried to cover the ras-
c9lty with forged affidavits.
The Intervention by the bayonet in the
Southern elections has been SO emphatic
ally repudiated by the sober sense of the
country, that we can hardly believe that
GRANTS Administration will dare to revive
II aud We should not credit the report
did II not come to us from IA very credible
source. But however this may be- il is
always proper to declare that an attempt
to carry the reconstructed States for the
Republicans ut the point Of the bayonet
will recoil upon the conspirators. They
might succeed by force and fraud in secur-
ing two or three close States; but for every
one thus obtained i'll the South, they would
lose two elsewhere.
