GOuld's Power Broken.

There is hope of the country-yea, even
of Congress-when we see the hitherto in.
vincible power of the Pacific railroad ring
defied and successfully resisted. The pass.
age by the Senate of the Thurman bill, COM
pelling the Pacific railroads to make some
provision for the payment of their debts,
puts that question at rest for the present
The companies have been dividing their
earnings among the stockholders, without re-
gard to their future obligations. The Thur
man bill requires them to establish sinking
funds at once, and places these funds in the
custody of the government. 1t would be
very easy, however, to evade this require
ment, by increasing the expenses of opera.
ton, so as to leave no net income from which
to make the required payments 1t was
therefore of the last Importance that Con.
gress should retain its control over the roads,
in order to compel the companies to obey
the law in good faith, Senator Blaine's
amendment proposed, on the contrary, to
release the companies from any further re-
sponsibility to Congress, so long as they
comply with the letter of the law. Against
this amendment, Senators Thurman and Ed.
munds commended with great vehemence,
and defeated it. The scene in the Senate is
said to have been quite remarkable. The
railroad lobby were in active visible com
munication with their Spokesman on the
floor during the whole debate. Nothing
seemed to be wanting to complete the i'm
propriety," says the correspondent of the
Boston Adrertiser, except the actual pass
ing Of money from client to advocate Jay
Gould, through some powerful influence,
was permitted to occupy as his private office
the room usually reserved for the President
The end was complete rout of the lobby |
The Senate defeated the Blaine amendment |
thirty-five to twenty-three, and passed the |
bill, forty to nineteen. The measure will un-
doubtedly pass the House and become law. |

Resumption a Fixed Fact.


There is not much doubt now about re.
sumption at the date fixed by law. Secre-
tary Sherman has just made bargain with
the old banking syndicate by which they
take fifty millions of four and q fourth per
cents. at one and one-half premium in gold
all to be paid for before January /, 1870.
This gives the Secretary upwards of one
hundred and forty million dollars in gold for
resumption purposes. The effect has been
magical Gold went down to premium of
oneeighth of cent. on dollar, or twelve
and a half cents on hundred dollars last
Saturday. A Chicago and Cincinnati bank
have given notice that they are ready to re-
deem their notes in gold. Wall street talks
hopefully of a declining market for gold,
of reviving business and of the expectation
that the New York banks will resume specie
payment this week. Stocks advanced from
one to five aud one-half per cent. last week,
with prospect of further rise. Aud so
Secretary Sherman has captured the situa-
ton completely, and no thanks to the banks
or congressional legislation either. These
results will give great lift to our credit
abroad and to public confidence at home.

Skilled Mechanism.

Visitors at the Philadelphia Exhibition
will have distinct remembrance of the
magnificent Corliss engine which furnished
the propelling power for the machinery de.
.artment of the exhibition. The Hartford
Courant furnishes some interesting facts
concerning its construction which ought to
have general circulation, for the information
aud encouragement of our skilled mechanics.
whose number in our country is increasing
every year. The gear hy-wheel of the engine
was thirty feet in diameter and weighed
fifty-six tons. Upon its periphery were
formed two hundred and sixteen cogs, which
worked into seventy-two cogs formed upon
the periphery of the wheel which was keyed
to the main line of the shafting. As the
engine made thirty-six revolutions per min
ute, the velocity of the periphery of the
wheels was trihe over thirty-eight miles
per hour. 1t required honest work to form
these cogs so as to run smoothly at such
high velocity After the fy-wheel had been
finished with the usual care and with all the
accuracy that could be secured by the EN-.
ployment of men specially qualified by years
OF practice in this department, and by the
aid of special tools, careful examination
disclosed inaccuracies in cutting the coCs
not exceeding the one two-hundredth part of
AN inch. The wheel as it then stood was
probably as perfect as any ever made of such
dimensions, but it did not come up to the
ideal of its manufacturer, and slight as was
the lmperfection, whole month of toll was
bestowed upon the work to reduce it to one
hve-hundredth of an inch, the difference being
the thickness of " greenback," leaving the
remaining error less than the thickness of
fine paper. 1t was apprehended that trinng
changes of temperature would, by the tn.
avoidable linear or expansion of the shaft,
dlsplace the gears to an extent which would
vitiate the accuracy of movement so labor
iously sought for, and provision was made
for counteracting this ordinarily inapprecia.
BILE cause OF error. In keeping with this
strict attention to details, the main driving
pulleys, all geared, were not allowed to
leave the works until, by actual trial, it was
shown that each wheel, being delicately adj
lusted upon its axis for the purpose, could
be caused to rotate by the weight of a pen
knife upon it. The weight of an extra coat
OF paint upon one side was sufficient to de-
press that side. In keeping with this won.
derful accuracy was the fact that Mr.. Corliss,
having only nine months and ten DAYS to
build this great engine, no part of which was
duplicate of previous design, put it in
operation on the day contracted, April 10,
1876, and that it was never stopped an in.
slant during its working hours for correc-
ton, or repair. Over one nest of gears was
placed the most delicate machines of the
Waltham Watch Company operating per-
fectly without jar or disturbance,
1t may be added that all this was labor
of love and patriotism to Mr.. Corliss. The
total expense of this exhibit, above the al
lowance made for foundations and running,
was nearly one hundred thousand dollars.

England's Money Power.

Although the war clouds seem less threat.
ening, the public mind has not vet ceased
to discuss the comparative chances of Eng
land and Russia in conflict of arms and
as money is the handspring by which armies
and navies are moved, may not Russia well
hesitate before graphing with such ire
mendous sinews as England is shown to
possess? A paper has just been laid before
the Statistical Society of England prepared
with great care by the most competent par.
ties, showing the financial resources of the
nation if called upon to take up arms on the
Eastern question. In the paper presented
the subjects of the wealth of England and
the recent accumuations of capital in the
United Kingdom, are considered carefully
and at length, and with results which have
startled even those Englishmen who had
thought themselves most familiar with the
financial history and condition of their coun-
try. For example, it is found, for instance,
that regarding the growth of Great Britain
in the ten years between 1850 and 1873, the
capital of the country was increased by the
enormous sum of e2,400,000.000, or about
twelve thousand millions of dollars. The
capital of the empire in 1865 was sGl0O,-
100000. In 1875 it was sS,500,00O,O0O.
Thus it will be seen that England has been
adding to her tremendous wealth at the rate
Of two hundred and forty millions sterling
per year. And whereas the gross assessed
income of Great Britain at the beginning of
century when she was carrying on her wars
with Napoleon was but one hundred and
fifteen millions sterling, and in 1855, at the
time OF the Crimean war, it was but three
hundred and eight millions, it had risen in
1860 to three hundred and ninetv-six mil
lions, and in 1875 to five hundred and sew
enty-one millions. Says the compiler of
these statistics, These enormous figures are
oewildering in their results, and nothing in
the way OF political economy is more impor-
tant than the investigation of the causes
which have brought about such colossal
results"
The bearing upon England's power of
NIllcu lDt POSSESSION oil
such enormous wealth would give her can
hardly be estimated. When we consider
the value of English capital, the amount of
the British national debt is trihe proper
tionately. From the money point of view
no power in the world can be compared as
to its resources for modern warfare with
Great Britain. 1t is perhaps well said, and
we quote More than ever now money is
the essential nerve of war, and it surely be-
hooves an empire such as Russia, already
almost at the end of her disposable revenues,
to think more than twice before she engages
herself seriously in a war of an essentially
vague character, upon issues equally vast
and underlined, with power which during
the single decade from 1865 to 1875 has
added to its wealth enough TO enable its
people to pay their whole existing national
debt three times over, and yet remain as rich,
individually, as they were ten years ago"

POPULAR ERRoRs.-Mistakes are very
rife on the currency question, which brief
study of the law would correct For ex-
ample, it is said that IA pound of copper
which costs twenty-five cents is worth when
coined into single cents one dollar and sixty
cents Also that a pound of nckle worth
seventy cents when coined into fiye-cent
pieces has legal value of five dollars. The
revised statutes of the United States, section
three thousand five hundred and eighty.
seven, make the minor coin, such as five,
three, two and one cent pieces, legal ten
der value at their nominal value for only
twenty-five cents. To say that they are
money for one dollar and sixty cents in
copper or five dollars in nicke coius is
therefore untrue, unless the holder should
distribute them around at quarter of a
dollar in a place They are intended for
small change and nothing else.

The new blue book, just published, gives
the names of eighty-fve thousand, eight hun.
dred and eighty federal office holders, of all
kinds and degrees-about one in four hun
dred and fifty of the total population, and
one for every ninety votes One reason that
the number is so large is because heretofore
it has been for the direct interest of Con-
gressmen to multiply places for the benefit
of their personal adherents. When the Pres.
ident has rescued his constitutional preroga-
tive of making the nominations himself the
interest OF Congress will become again, as it
should be, identical with the interest of the
people, which requires that the number of
offices should be strictly limited to the re-
quirements OF the public service.
