WASHINGTON, October IA.

Strong indications are becoming visit
BILE that the last years com bination be
tween the Southern Pacific and Texas
Pacific Companies has been ruptured.
and that the so.called Compromise bill
will be henceforth abandoned. SCOTS
friends express distrust of the Hun
tiDgton party, and are inclined to think
that eve IL their suspicious are Ill
founded the coalition deprives the bill
OF the argument against monopoly,
and loses more votes than 1t gains.
The California corporation, on the 9TH
or hand, appears to have little faith in
the success OF any subsidy project this
year, and seems more than ever con-
tident of its ability to build the whole
road with outside assistance. War to
the knife will therefore probably he
the programme of both companies
during the present Congress. Mean
while, the Texas Pacific Railroad adj
vOcates profess serene confidence in the
result, and utterly deny the truth of
the report in circulation that Scott has
taken a house to conduct lobby opera
tons, and assert that their project will
achieve success by its " strength
and merits. They are greatly pleased
with Randsll's victory, but say they
expect nothing from him except a fair
committee. They are also very conf
dent of receiving some support from
the President.

The Senate has seemed in some
danger Of being organized by the
Democrats o morrow, but the only
Republican absentees are believed to
be Morton and Sharon. II this is true,
speculation il at an end. There has
been some talk to ousi Secretary Cor
ham and install Caldwell, who was
beaten by Adams for Clerk of the
House. The basis of this talk is the
known hostility Of Senator Booth to
Gorham, and the supposition that a
coalition might be formed by his aid,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Randall's nomination by such a tre-
mendous vote on the first ballot means
| simply and only, that the Democratic
! party is nc going to abate its oppOsi-
ton to standing armies, extravagant
appropriations and a corrupt system
of subsidies to corporations. Randall
was fiercely opposed by all these in.
terests, and by all rings and organized
Hobbies represented here, and his tri.

ship of the Mississippi river took place
here this afternoon between the MOdOc,
Western, Dry Derrick and st. Louis
rowing clubs. 1t excited a great deal
of interest, the levee and bridge being

unusual spectacle. The course was
from the northern line of the arsenal
wall, crossing the river to the eastern
pier Of the bridge. The distance was
about three miles, under water very
rough. The Modoc took the lead at
the start and maintained 1t to the
