The southern Pacific Line.

We have the bill, reported by Mr.. LAMAR VA
to the House OF Representatives from sne
Committee on the Pacific Railroads, to IN
corporate the Texas Pacific railway, and t.' 70
aid in the construction OF that railway and
sts branches. The committee succeeded In
compromising the conflict between Sne
Texas Pacific Railway and the Southern "a.
cifc Railway Companies, and also satssneo
the several cities In the South that were con-
tending for connecting branches with tue
Texas Pacific line. The branches are al
mitted to a fair participation In the Trans
continental, commerce, and the line TO san
Diego, so interesting to us OF the sou'n-
for IL gives to the South the shortest anu
hest line to the pacifc--is placed beyond
tho chance OF failure. The bill satisnes all
parties. and certainly should meet no oppo-
s,tion from the North, which should con-
ccde 70 the southern part Of the republic a
railway line as measure OF sect,ohai equa'-
ity, and therefore equity.
Congress ought to tal,e up and pass this
momentous bill the present session. It's
benefits will be eminently national.
Through a southern line that avoids ob-
structiyc frosts, and avoids also the great
elevations that make transportation costly
and precarious and that retard and endan-
ger travel, there will be facilitated com
muuication that will from its eastern juno
tions rad,ate with entire promptness and eN-
pedition to all OF the Atlantic States. Thus
all acquire advantages which are exclusive
to none-advautages, too, which are shield
ed from the expressions Of monopoly by
the grand corrective of competition. The
Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific are
free to compete with each other, but not
free to combine. Nor will it ever be their
mutual interest to combine. The southern
route is too highly favored by nature ever
to seek advantages by combination.
The southern line will open vast field
for agricultural and mineral industry and
enterprise, and give to the country new
power for seli-protection. 80.
The period Of the national pacification,
the establishment OF civil authority. ano
the revival OF confidence and public faith
is the propitious period for the commence.
meut OF this great national enterprise. Il
promises more for the improvement, the
wealth, and the power OF the nation than any
other project that now exists. Congress viii
do a great good by passing the bill. 1t will
give powerful spring to general enter
prise and energy.

That Letter.

At last that letter written by that pattern
OF honesty, WELLS, was produced on Sat-
urday by the innocent MADDOX. 1t was a
PaiXhan shot, and took the Republicans
between wind and water. MADDo&'s testi-
mony showed that he was no better than he
should be, and his testimony the Republicans
hold to be so tainted that it would be rem
dered harmless by simple denial OF its truth.
But WEELs's letter renders MADDoX's state
ment unassailable. That is something for
the SHERMASs and MoRToNs to think on.
SHERMAN has declared that the opinions Of
the Returning Board Of Louisiana, with
WELLS at its head, was as much entitled to
respect rs an opinion Of the United States
Supreme Court. How now, most grave and
reverend Senator!

4 Tobacco Decision.

REMOVAL OF TOBACCO FOR SAMPLES OR BIZ EN-
PLOYEs pROH1BITED-THE LATTER TO BE
PUNISHED IF DISCOVERED.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-The Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue Inns addressed o
circular to collectors in regard to The man.
ufacture OF tobacco, snuff, and cigars, in
which he says: .fIn making explanations
to this office of apparent deficiencies in the
accounts OF the transactions OF tobacco and
Observation-Disclosures the allegation Is not
unfrequently made that discrepancies, both
in material accounts and in the disposition
made Of manufactured products, arc owing
largely to two causes-first, the tobacco and
cigars which are given away by the manu-
facturer as samples, and which do not ap-
near in his account Of sales; second, the
Quantity of manufactured product, aud
oftentimes of raw material, which is used or
consumed, or removed for use or consump-
ton, by operatives without the knowledge
or consent of the manufacturer. The first
OF these causes is entirely within the con-
troll OF the manufacturer. He has no more
right to remove manufactured tobacco or
cigars for samples from the place OF manu-
facture, or to allow them to be so removed,
without properly packing and stamping the
same, and reporting such removals, than he
has to sell or remove CneIll loE Saic VI Cou-
sumption without compliance with the
law in this regard; and not only will no
credit be given to the manufacturer for
goods so removed, but all such goods will be
regarded as removed in violation OF that
norton OF the law which prohibits the re-
moval of tobacco and cigars without the pay
ment of the tax thereon. 1t may not be so
easy for the manufacturer to control re-
moyals OF the second class. He Is, neverthc-
less, responsible to thes Government not
only for the disposition made OF manufac-
tured goods, but also for the disposition OF
the materials which are charged to him. lie
should therefore, in most positive terms,
forbid all his employees from using or re-
moving any such goods or materials and in
case he detects an employe defraudlnS the
Government in this manner it becomes his
duty to report such offender to the officers
OF the revenue, to be dealt with according
to the nature OF the offence. Especially
should he take the precaution thus to pro-
tect the interests Of the Government before
making claims upon this office to settle his
accounts for deficiencies which may have
grown out of such unlawful acts OF the en-
Moves under his control"

QUAKERTowN.-J. W. Forney recently
visited Quakertown, Pa. In letter to his
paper he says:
I made my Quaker hearers smile as told
them that the most distinguished wine mer-
and that he regularly supplied Clay, Bu-
chanan, Webster, and other great leaders
with his superior sherry, champagne, and
Madeira, and might have added that he
was a relative OF the well-known Samuel NJ.
Janney, also Of Virginia, who has contri-
buted voluminously to the history OF the
Friends, and whose "Life of William
Penn" is a standard authority. The wine
merchant was greatly beloved in Alexan-
dria, and moved in the best society, and
was special favorite OF the Wing politi-
clans OF the Old Dominion.
