and inexperience, and If II is too late to ap-
ply remedy to the past, IL Is not too hate
to protect the future. So far rs the Repub-
lican party Is concerned II has suffered dis
appointment and discouragement but 1t
has not lost its vitality or convictions of
right. 1t has saved the nation once, and 1t
can and will do it again. This is the mis-
sion Of the party, and II will be fulfilled.
The past must be buried out Of sight The
Republicans In Congress, in the Departments
and throughout the country must nurse and
revive the organized machinery Of the party
into lively action, and the future can be
preserved from impending danger. The
danger is apparent. The present session OF
Congress has revealed IL with singular dis.
tinctness. 1t lies in the dark purpose Of
those men and that party which once
attempted the nations life by armed and
bloody rebellion, who now plot to subjugatt
II to their power by soizing the reins of tn,
Government and subverting it to their bad
purposes and ends If the Administration
fails to discover this the Republican party
must not overlook it and its fearful conse
quences. The party must step to thu
'front.' invite hearty participation on thu
part Of the President and his advisers, ant
il they neglect the opportunity to enlis
their best efforts in behalf of the nation
welfare, then the Republican party mus
proceed with its work as If no Administra

The Pacific Railroad Settlement


out adopting any plan for settling up the
complicated accounts Of the Pacific Rail
road Companies with the Government. At
this session again the subject has been re-
ferred to two committees, which have both
reported propositions differing in their prin-
ciples and details That of the Judiciary
Committee reflects the characteristics of the
lawyers who compose it that of the Rail-
road Committee reflects rather the result Of
the deliberations of business men. The
former looks to compulsory process, pains
and penalties, litigation, and the waste of
further contention the latter looks toward
composition of differences, toward n
satisfactory and conclusive settlement of all
disputes. The two reported bills aim at the
same obiect-that of payment of the obliga-
tions due and to become due, to the United
States. One of them, however, sends the
sheriff after these companies, to attach their
properties and incomes the other seeks to
obtain their voluntary consent and co-opera-
ton. It's doubtful whether the plan of cocr-
cion will not cost far more than it saves, while
it is tolerably certain that the plan of accom-
mediation will restore every dollar paid out,
and the interest on III by an extension OF
time, which costs the Government nothing
to concede. In other words, it will make
the debt all good.
1t is not to be assumed that the law Of
the case is wholly on one side, nor that the
equities are wholly on either side. There
are questions of law involved, reaching
down deep into the very structure Of soci.
ETY., as Senator MATTHEWS has shown, that
are of so grave and momentous character
that they ought not to be lightly passed
upon, nor taken for granted except upon
critical emergency, and certainly moi
where, as in this case, there is no urgent
necessity for it. One set Of Senators con.
tend that these Pacific Railroads were un.
dertaken and constructed upon an under
standing that the companies hold their
franchises property, and earnings subject IL
any tenure which Congress might see fit tC
impose; Or in other words, that there wa,
and that it is in the right and power o.
Congress to change the terms rs much anC
as often as it pleases. Another set OF Sen
atOrs contend that this is contrary to al
precedent and to the original principles o
Just government. They allege that tn,
roads were created under contract stipula
tiOns, aud that rights vested thereunde
cannot be destroyed or impaired withou
| lust compensation, nor without due pro

THE Government disburses about 81, 900, 900
very year to residents Of the District of CO.
lumbia, and s6!OOO,OOO more are discussed by
visitors.-St Paul Pioneer Press.
1t is such fiippant statements as this, cal
culated to convey the impression that large
and extravagant sums of money are sx-
pended for the support of the District gov
eminent, that create prejudice against this
too-much governed few miles square. The
truth is, the General Government con-
tributes much less than half the sum men
toned by the Pioneer Press as its share of
the amount required for that support, and
the citizens or taxpayers of the District are
compelled to make up the balance, an
amount greatly in excess Of just proper
ton, Besides this it should be understood
that the personal benefits arising from these
expenditures go to fill the pockets Of out
sidcrs to great extent, citizens of Mime
sofa and other States, who are quartered
upon us as officials through Congressional
influence. viii the P-P. make corrcc-
