Shall the Government get fur
thcr into. or out Of, the Pacific
Railroad Business:

Unless Congressman set their feet down
firmly there is n prospect that most of the
time of the session not occupied by the APP
preparations will be consumed in vcntlating,
but not in settling the disputes among the
Pacific Railroad Companies. A great deal
of necessary legislation, sorcly needed by
the languishing business interests of the
country, is being kept back by the impor-
tunity Of these giant corporations.
Curiously enough, nearly all of these
concerns are in trouble about their land
grants, and it would seem as if the policy
adopted by the Government of giving away
half its wild lands in order TO get roads
through the whole was to be u Pandora's
box OF evils. First, there is the Union
Pacific and its western counterpart, the
Central Pacific which desires to put back
its unsold lands into the public domain, and
to get credit on the Treasury ledgers fOi
81 % an acre on its debt, which the Supreme
Court has decided is not due till 1900.
Then, again, there is the Northern Pa
clfc, which on the opposite tack desires moi
to have its unesrned lands fall back to the
| public domain, but seeks an extension Of
| ten years more time in which to complete
| its road through them. 1t is not yet APP
parent whether the promoters Of thi'
scheme desire the ten years in which t.
finish the road, OF TO give them chance
to sell out their stock on the rise conse
quent on It's success. 1t is asserted in be
| half of the Texas Pacific that ii is impossi
ble to obtain money TO build long roads il
the ordinary markets, and, therefore, tina
company, in still u different tack, is urging
the necessity of saving its lands by an eE
tension of time, and also the endorsement
of the United States upon some $3s 100000
of its bonds. Now, if the Northern Pacif
can build its 500 miles without other aiC
than its bonds, why cannot the Texas Pa
ci6c do the same by its 400 miles? oil
conversely, if the Texas Pacific cannO
60 on, how can the Northern Pacific?
To complicate matters still further tn
Southern Pacific, another corporation which
has earned land grant In California, come
In, showing that the Texas Pacific has no
the requisite authority TO build in Caliior

Public Advertising.

The following is a copy OF the bill rcgu-
hitting the price of advertising for the scve-
yal Departments of the Government. which
WAS introduced in the House by Mr.. FRYE
On the 1ith ult., and referred TO the Judi
eiary Committee:
Be il enacted By he Senate and House Of Rep
resestdtjres Of he United States Of .imeIicu IN
Congress assembled That hereafter all adver-
tisements notices, proposals for contracts, and
al other forms of advertising required by law
for the executive and judicial Departments of
the Government, may be paid for at the COM
mercial rates, and no more, charged to private
individuals but the heads Of Departments, or
their authorized agents, may secure lower
terms at special rates whenever the public in
terest requires it.
SIC. =. All newspapers or other publications
In which said advertising shall be inserted
shall file with each Department a certificate OF
their commercial rates rs aforesaid, and all ac.
counts against tho United States for advertis.
ing shall be audited and paid in accordance
with the certified rates on file: PTOridfd
That all advertising in newspapers since the
2lst day of May, 1877, shall be audited and
paid at the above named rates. Aud all laws
or parts Of laws inconsistent with this act are
hereby repealed.
This bill has been rendered necessary by
the fact that, under mistaken idea OF
economy, the rates for this class of advcr
Using had been reduced to SO low fgur,
~ TO be utterly unrcmunerative, and hence
very little advertising has been done fo
the Departments since the reduction tool
place. 1t is due to the public interest, a,
well AZ to the public press, that this law
should be passed ut an early day.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1878-02-06

1t is exceedingly annoying and disagree
able, when one has quiet home in peace
full and orderly neighborhood, to have q
quarrelsome, evil disposed, and uncouth
neighbor move into the vicinity, who is
never happy unless he is in the midst of a
quarrel and has a frst-class row on hand.
In neighborhood relation such things are
unpleasant and almost afford an argument
against that freedom of which, in this
country, we make such boast No one cares
to be bCset by such degree of rudeness
that he feels called upon to suspend other
and more congenial duties to go for such an
intruder and chastise him for his filthy gush
and offensive language. All such should
be left severely alone under the impression
that, in time, though the waiting may be
unpleasant, the offensive newcomer into
the neighborhood may learn to keep his own
side of the fence and improve his manners
and his own business interests by leaving
those of other people alone. All we ask OF
such people is that they reserve their filth
and ofiensiveness for their own use, and
keep their insolcnce Of language within its
own labratory-keep their dirty water
from our premises and their pitch from
our sidewalk throw no oil Of vitriol
upon our apparel, nor Islander upon
our reputation but, on the contrary, that
they will make some laudable effort to pre-
serve a just regard for truth themselves, ant
remember that their rudcly charging an
other with untruth does not establish III
allegation nor does it determine their We
racity in the publicNicw.
We have no great respect for the goo,
fellowship Of that man who goes ont amOnl
his fellow men with his coat-tail elevate,
and mouth full Of dirty words to provoke
a kick that he may have q suit for assault
and battery with the hope Of cxcmplar!
damages. This may be Western enterprise
but it is not in accordance with the rule
and prOprieties of society in the East, ant
will go begging for patronage. We have al
aversion for such contact, and hence W
will not enter into a controversy with
mere brawler, who has no respect for til
commonest prophecies of neighbOrhood re
lation, and who iincies that he can elevat
himself if he can only pull some one els
down. This is an unpleasant and unproiit
able mistake for any one to make, and tn
best advice that can be given to all such
that they emulate the man down East, VIII
accumulated much wealth and respect b
minding his own business.

Much has been insinuated, and consider
able has been said and printed, about the
Louisiana bargan-the Wormley Hotel con-
ference or interview-the mutual under
standing there entered into regarding the
future policy of the Administration in case
certain other arrangements could be effect
ed. under which TILDES would be placed
upon back seat and HAYES be put at the
head of the Government Several distin-
guished names connected with both politi-
cal parties have been introduced to the pub
lie rs having borne conspicuous parts in the
formulation OF great scheme which was to
secure the Presidency TO the Republicans and
the GOvernOrships OF two States to the
Democrats, and disarm all the elements OF
strife and outrage in the late Confederate
States, securing therein tranquility and
equal and exact justice to all classes and
compilations
The public mind has been vexed with
this national scandal for almost a year, and
yet the true inwardness Of the affair and
the names Of the prominent actors and high
contracting parties have not been distinctly
gwen 10 tne puD WIN tnclr lnulNluua
parts and responsibilities set forth. What
the people want to know nOw-and 1t is
what they are entitled to knows, was
there bargain relating to the consumma'
ton of the Presidential question, and, if so
was II u written OF oral contract, and be
tween whom rs the high contracting par
ties? Did JOHN SHERMAN, STANLEY
MATTHEWS, and CHARLES FOSTER, all Re,
publicans of the State of Ohio, and warm
political and personal friends OF Mr.. HAYES
take any part in any contract or under
standing relating to the Presidency and thu
future course of the Administration, in cas-,
the arrangement should terminate in tn
Inauguration of Mr., HAYES as President o

In writing or orally, affecting the future
policy of the Government relating to the
South in case that Mr. HAYES was made
President? Was the withdrawal of the
troops from Louisiana and South Carolina
and the desertion of PACKARD and CHAM
BERLAIN TO inevitable overthrow q part of
this arrangement, under Southern demand
or dictation of conditions? 1t occurs to us,
after so much insinuation and inuendo and
loose dcclaration, which has brought gross
scandal upon the reputation of the nation,
that the real facts of the case should he
known, that the odiun might fall where It
belongs, and the. fame Of the nation be ex-
empted from the dark shadows that are now
cast upon it. There either was or there was
not WOrmley- Hotel conference, and the
three friends of the President were or were
net thcre-no other State has an accredited
representation.
If this meeting between the Ohio states
men and the Southern Democrats was held,
and if we understand the admissions Of
some of them correctly, there Is no doubt
on that point, then what was its purport
and end? 1t is about time this lot of dirty
linen was washed and hung out, that the
public, who are much interested in the mat
ter, may understand its full length and
breadth. 1t is time that Mr.. CHANDLER
and Mr.. BURKE, Mr.. SHERMAN and Mr..
LAMAR, Mr.. MATTHEWS and General
GORDON, Mr.. FOSTER and Mr.. WATTERsoN,
jointly and severally either deny any such
compact or interview, or give to the country
the result OF the conference, unless its pro-
cecdings are Of such a character as to render
concealmcnt necessary to their own per-
sonal welfare Just enough has been told
to lead the public to desire the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, relating to it.
