Tho bills relating to tho indebtedness OF
tho Union and Central Pacific Railroad COM
panies have boon postponed by the Senate
until next Decombor. We think this was n
wiso procedure. The Inst hours OF mn ex-
pirius Congress, whom 70 many Of tho metn-
bcra have been voted ont by their constitu-
ents, arc not season Of honest legislation
in tho matter Of subsidies or other gratuitics
to largo corporations. The railroad cor
porations will lose aovoral Of their more
perseye.ing fricnls who will not bv in the
Senate and not III tho House at the next
Eessjon. Tho chances ars that the public
interests will faro better at tho hands OF tho
new Cougross, because as n general thing
the character Of both Houses has been e1c-
vntesl and improved by tho elections of last
year. At tho next possion, disturbed md &C.
