The New York Sun again calls
attention to the fact that when
John Sherman entered the Senate,
at the beginning Of the war, he
was poor man. Now he is a
millionaire. aud all the time his
only osiensible business has been
that of Senator. This seems to
call for an investigation Of that
peculiar transaction by which the
Treasury Department made a de-
posit of sij.OOO, 900 in the First
National Bank OF New York. The
bank made a million by it. Now
the question is, how much did
Sherman make. That's what the
public would like to know.

of the city government. The re.
duction is strongly urged in view OF
the fact that the taxes are so great
that merchants complain that they
cannot make any money. The pro-
1T on their business all goes to the

tate owners are uniting in move

The San Francisco Chronicle thus comments upon the poverty of names /. 0royille IS the name of a new town just located at rhe end of the South ern Pacific railroad in Arizona, there being also an 0roTille in California. There seems to be wonderful poyer- ty of nomenclature in designating localities on the Pacific coast. We have a State of Nevada, and Q town and county of the same name in Cal ifornia; Humboldt River, town and county in the State of Nevada. and a bay, county and town named Hum boldt iR California-beside several San Juans In the Golden State. If the names of the towns of the other Pacific coast States are to be further duplicated in Arizona, endless con- fusion in correspondence and other matters may result. Let the Ari- zonians offer Q small premium for original names, and they will soon have sufficient to stock their Terrilo- ry for a century to come.

The following is an extract from
 Bob Ingersoll's speech at Music Hall,
 Boston, Oct. 2Oth, 1878. ac slso
 believes Arizona rich in minerills,
 and as a verifcatiOn of Bob's belief
 VIC inform him that this county
 (Pinal) alone has shipped to San
 Francisco in the last eleven months,
 ending Nov. 30th, in ore. cOnceniTa-
 tiOus and bullion. $906.8l5 a2.
 How is that for high for county
 chat three years ago was not known
 as a silver producing district? When
 such results are obtained from the
 working of the undeveloped mines
 of a single county, tue majority of
 readers, however much they may
 doubt Bob's soundness of his exposl-
 siOn of the scriptures, will cOncede
 that he is not far out of the way in
 prOnouncing Arizona, in the near
 future, the greatest silver producing
 country in the world. He is also
 correct in hls statement of the ad-
 vantages that will result by the building of the Texas Pacific road.
 He says:
 The Texas Pacific should also be completed. 4 vast agricultural re- zion would be opened to the enter prise and adventure of the American people. Probably Arizona holds within the miserly clutches of her rocks greater wealth than any other State or Territory Of the world The construction of that road would put life and activity into a hundred industries. It would give employ l ment to many thousands of people, and homes at least to many millions. ] IL would cause the buildiag of thou sands O. miles of branches to open, i not only new territories, but to con i nect with roads already built. Itl would double the products of gold 1 and silver, open new fields to trade. create new industries, and make il possible for us to supply eight mil lions of people in the Republic of | Mexico with our products. The con of this great highway will | enable the Government to dispen. with from ten to fifteen regiments Of infantry and cavalry now stationed | along the border. People enough i EiIl settle along this line so protect themselves. It viii permanently set tie the Indian question, saving the people millions each year It will destroy the present monop- oly. and in this way greatly increase production and consumption. It viii double our trade xiEh China and Ja- pan, and with the Pacific States as well. It will settle the Southern question by filling the Southern States with immigrants, diversity ing the industries of that section, and rebuilding the com merclal and social fabric; will do away with the conservatism of regret and the prejudice born of isolation. l. will transmrte to wealth the un- muscle of the country. ltl wiIl secure California from the con Irol of q single corporation, from the government of an oligarchy united, satchfal, despotic, and vIndictiye It will liberate tho farmers, the rner chants, and even the politicians of the Pacific coast. Besides, 1t must not be forgotten to go frame the laws md charters thai Congress shall for syer have the control of fares and freights h this way the public will 0e perfectly protected and tEe Gov anment perfectly secure.

 The Louisville Courier-Journal
 says: '.The Huntington organs have
 definitely announced that the Objec-
 tive poiut of the Central Southern Pacific is the Territory of New Mex
 ico, where it will unite with the Atchlson, Topeka & Santa Fe rail- road, and form no connection what ever with the southern system. That settles the position of the monopoly, which was never intended to build a road to compete with it's own lines. of course. The only southern trans continental railroad project insuring competition with the monopoly and the opening of new trade areas Is the Texas Pacific " The Southern States have nothing to complain of-- they wanted too much. h their bill they asked for 2 ,446 miles of road east of Fl Paso, Texas. These States should have been satisfied with a main stem from Fort Worth, Tex as, to San Diego, California, and srust to time and the demands of commerce to build connections at Forth Worth. Six hundred Of the 2 ,446 miles includes a road from San Antonio to El PasO, notwith- standing San Antonio is already pro vided for by rail connection with Fort Worth. 'Tis true, not direct but through a fertile and populous country while the proposed line from San Antonio to Fl Paso is over a desert. This was Senator Johnstou's (of yirginia) bill, and a committee of the Senate approved and reported 1t for ihe acton of the fog bank. g We have no doubt but what Johnston had his cue from Huntington and the Boston gentlemen controlling the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe roads. Johnston's excuses for the inrodac- ton of his amendatory bill was a selfish one He urged 1t on the ground ghat the bill to which bis was amendatory was a positive menace to the South" " To Johnston, Vlnita. in the Indian Territory, was the mg- ger in the woodpile which he smeit, 1 and when addressing the Senate, he stuck his thumbs in the armholes of .hls vest and asked Mr. Presi- dent, what Southern man can fail to see that if the Government of theI United States will furnish Col.
