est as it falls due for twenty years longer, or a
further sum of 500, l0,620. Nothing of this will
be due, according to the decision OF the SUI
preme court, until the principal is due. Sim
pie interest upon these payments at six per
cent. viii amount TO nearly or quite S70O00,0O0.
If this also is not a debt, when we are paying
six per cent. upon loan of millions, then IL
is a gratuity largely In excess of the original
bonds, and one of those things never dreamed
of in the philosophy of congress.
The account stated as between merchant and
merchant, or between man and man, would
show that besides lands, besides coal mines,
besides credits, up to the year 1870, we shall
have aided these companies, as already indi-
Gated, to the extent OF not less than s27, 5l662I.
The roads are amply able to. pay all that
the government demands, as the statement
of their earnings shows. The st. Louis Re
publican in commenting upon the subject
says:
The gross earnings of the Union Pacific rail-
road last year were Sl3,7l9,343, an increase OF
of 81 6O5sS5S over the previous year; and the
operating expenses are IS, f02, 253 being de-
crease of S45,567 from the preceding year
showing net earnings to have been SS,:}l7 ,00O.
The central Pacific makes an equally good
showing. Its net earnings for the five years
ending with 1876 were as follows:

bill for a sinking fund to extinguish the debt

ifestly absurd. List year the roads paid out OF
their net earnings S66l2,Sl5 interest on their
bonds, and 1923 900 in an eight per cent. uivi-
dend to stockholders, leaving a surplus of
S},l2l ,7O2 unexpended. It is clearly unjust for
the roads to distribute their profits in divi-
dends until they shall have made provision
for paying the debt they owe the government,
This debt, If ii runs for thirty years, will be
so large that they viii not be able to pay it !;
but ii a reasonable share OF their annual profits

the sinking fund and taking care of the inter
est on their mortgage bonds, will have, the
Union Pacific 81 ,6i5,6j0 and the Central Pacific
S. $4,000, TO distribute in dividends. This is on
a basis of their earnings for the last five years,
a basis which il is certain will be increased in
the next five years. The roads then can make
provision for the debt due the government and
all their other debts, and still have enough

votes over his Republican opponent. II, In
September next, California should elect two
Democrats and two Republicans, the new
House will stand 1iS Democrats, TO
1874 Republicans and II Grccnback-
crs. giving the Democrats majority
Of 3 over both. However. Judging
from their former political affiliations,
it is safe 10 infer that of these Grccnback-
ers will, on mere party divisions, vote with
the Democrats, and with the Republicans.
This would increase the Democrats to 1856,
and the Republicans to 1877, leaving the
Democrats with a majority OF 10, which Is
precisely their majority in the present
House.
There does not seem TO be much likelihood
Of the choice OF tho next President devolv-
ing upon the House; but such contingency
is among the possibilities In that event
each State would be entitled to one vote.
There arc 3s States, majority whereof Is
20. The recent elections give the Democrats
a majority in 10 atcs--cOncedng to them
Florida, which Is doubtful, and the Rcpub-
licans a majority in Is States. With
California equally divided, and therefore UNI
able to vote, tho Democrats would have

The Next House.

OF the next House are not absolutely GER
tain in every particular, but they are sufi-
GENTLY precise for our present purposes
In the present House the Democrats have
15G members, and the Republicans have 1877.
giving the former majority OF 10.
At tho September and October elections
the tide ran steadily against tho Republ-
cans, and they suffered loss OF 10 members,
as compared with their numbers in the
present House. From this fact it was a
reasonable deduction that they would lose
IN the same ratio in November when 80
members were TO be chosen. Had this de-
ductlon been verified by the actual results
in November. the Republicans would have
been in n minority of so in the next House.
But the tide turned against the Demo-
Gratis, and they have met with unexpected
losses in New York in the Western States,
and elsewhere, so that they will barely hold
their own in the next House. Indeed, II we
count the ten or twelve Grecnbackers who
have been elected, as an Independent party in
the House, the Democrats will do well II
tnoy have n majority over the combined
vote of the Republicans and the Green
backers.
The returns seem TO clearly indicate that

Mr. Cooper,s Opportunity.

There was everything in the character and
past history Of Mr.. EDWARD COOPER TO
justify the citizens Of New York In electing
him to the office Of Mayor. 1t was wise
thing to do.
Now what kind Of an administration OF the
olre Mr. COOPER will make whether ho
will fulfil the expectations Of his fellow
citizens or not--the future only can deter
mine. But the chances Of a good admins
tration would not seem To have been better
with any one who can be named than with
him.
But even If 1t had been known that for
two years the Office would be better admin
istorcd by Mr.. ScHELL. still, he being the
candidate Of the anti-American, odious
one man power, we should have felt bound
to oppose him. The principle involved was
OF far greater consequence than any slight
difference in the personal qualifications OF
the opposing candidates.
But we believe in point Of fact Mr.. COOPER
is far the better qualified Of the two.
In regard to the appointments to be made
by SIr. COOPER we desire TO say that we have
no preferences whatever for any individual.
We only desire that the appointments shall
bc the best that can be made That is all. In
our opinion il Is about time that all public
