The Great Railroads
New York Correspondence Philadelphi
Ledger.

Ledger.
The merchants and business men o
this city such of them as are speaking
their minds are disposed too look with
disfavor upon the new combinations
which Mr.. William Vanderbilt is
reported to be making at the West,
with view of obtaining sole control of
a grand transcontinental line to the
Pacific. They say the New Y York
Central is already too great a power,
and it is not desirable that that power
should be increased. The reported
schemes Of his rival, Mr.. Gould, to
build up competing transcontinental
route, by uniting Erie with a variety
of bankrupt and semi bankrupt rail
roads West aud Southwest is also cons
templated with pretty much the same
feeling. The talk is that these rail-
road monarchs are grown too strong
now for the commercial public, and
that, as the State governments are too
feeble TO deal with them, the time is TO
come when they must be take in hand
by the Federal Government. The difis

with this feeling, and tits not improb-
able, therefore, that the Legislative
Committee which sits here all summer
to investigate the charges the mer-
chants have prepared against the ex
tortions and Determinations of the
New York Central, will make a report
to that effect. This is certainly the
drift of things. There are many
prominent men here who formerly
were opposed, on principle, to esery-
thing that looked like Federal inter
ference with these corporations, but
great change has come over these, aud
they are now as ready to invoke the
Federal power as they formerly were
to resist it. Ifan old fashioned Min
nesota Granger" pill could be put 10
force to-day, it would have the uudi.
vided support of the Chamber Of Com
merce, the Produce and Cotton Ex-
change, and of almost all the great
business interests Of the city. But, as
1t is believed that tie day has gone by
when the railroad power can be re-
strained by mere State legislation, yog
must not be surprised if all these bod
les are found, ere long, pronouncing,
not in favor of halfway GraDgerism,
but in favor of the more sweeping
principle of Federal supervision.

Where gentle smiles and loving words

The soul, its restless royings cease
Ambitions glare is flown.

Forgotten all its care,
Tomorrow clouds arc curtained close
With mystic wells, and fair.
But over earth how many feet
Their rovings never cease
How many beings never know

Beyond the starry dome
