MEXICO wants a railroad treaty, so that she
can have the assistance of American capital in
| getting an iron road out to the Pacific Ocean,
| and the route proposed by Western capitalists
and railroad men is to extend from Texarkana,
| Ark, where the railroads from tGalveston and
st. Louis meet, to the Pacific at Mazatlan. This
| line will pass southwest through the heart of
Mexico, and have branch at Durango, leading
to the Mexican capital whence there is rail
way communication with the coast and the i'm
portant city of fPuebla.-post
| The above shows such knowledge of the
geography of Texas and Mexico that it is
worth preserving. Any railroad man who
would talk about building railroad from
Texarkana to Mexico would be considered q
fit inmate for lunatic asylum, or qualified,
according to GEORGE II. BUTLER's idea, for
the position Of editor on Democratic news
paper. 1t is between seven and eight hum
dred miles from Texarkana to the borders
| of Mexico, and there are two routes con-
Meeting that point with San AntOnia, which
is only one hundred and fifty miles from Mex
leo, and another line connecting San Autonia
directly with Galveston aud New Orleans.
From Texarkana there are two routes to ST.
Louis and one to Memphis A road through
Mexico could not pass through Durango,
but would have to go through Nueva Leon,
or Coahuila and thence through Zacatecas (;
and to pass the Pacific mountain range
it would have to go within few miles of
San Bias, which has good harbor Itwould
hardly turn north to Mazatlan, which only
has an open roadstead. Maps of Mexico
and Texas can be purchased at almost any
bookstore.

THE good people of Washington are es-
pecially and directly interested in the
prompt passage of the appropriation bills by
Congress. They are now beginning to re-
cover from the effects ofpast financial de-
preston and are on the eve of q renewal Of
general business prosperity. But if Con-
gress fails or refuses to make the appropria-
tions in question and thereby locks the
money up in the Treasury which would
otherwise obtain general circulation in
these parts, it stands to reason, as the
phrase goes, that much suffering will ensue
and the renewal Of business activity, which
is now so promising, will be subjected to
further delay. Nor will Washington suffer
alone in this regard from this threatened
failure or refusal. The entire country will
feel the withdrawal from accustomed chan
nels of commerce of the millions of dollars
the Government is expected and should be
compelled to pay out of its vaults during
the coming fiscal year. In fact, the locking
up in the Treasury of this immense sum of
money will amount to the most violent and
practical kind of contraction.

IT appears that all the attendant and con-

ing the war, when, Us the story goes, this
same BEN HILL was as decidedly handy
with the inkstauds of his rebel Senatorial
neighbors as the veriest street rioter would
be with paving stone. After firing sew
era of these missiles at his antagonist how
ever it is reported that HILL clinched with
YANCEY and fell upon him, breaking his
back over the edge or frame of his desk
This gallant illustration Of his superiority

line during the war, Now, if he had only
tried these tactics upon Mr.. CHANDLER

"MR." HAYES gets along very well, not
withstanding the presence of the de jure
President in the Senate. His fraudulent
vetoes seem TO have the full force and eff
feet of the genuine article. If the Demo-
crafts were not lost to all sense of honor and
shame they would either cease this puerile
manner Of alluding to him as de tdcto of
fetal, or proceed at once to assert their
rights. AS tits they act like so many small
boys standing at safe distance making
faces and calling names at the object OF
their especial autipathy. Meanwhile that
object preserves commcndable "amiable
I" obstinacy."

THE withdrawal OF Secretary McCRARY
from the Cabinet devolves upon the Presi-
dent delicate rs well as difficult duty in
the selection of his successor. The character
and antecedents of the citizen thus to be
honored will be closely scrutinized and sub
iected to the severest criticism. At the
same time the motives Of the President in
making this important selection will be re-
viewed with more than ordinary severity
But after all, with the Republican party
consolidated and unified as it now is, and
presenting so many available statesmen as
it does from which lie can make his choice,
it is apparent that unless he wanders away
under some Utopian inspiration to convert
somebody or to resurrect some one else, or
to assert the tranquility Of political fac
tiousness, he will be able to satisfy the over
whelming masses of those who elected him
and who are loyalty opposed to Bourbonism
in all its varied guises, without violating the
eternal fitness of things, so to speak

THE fact exposed in these columns few
days ago that MR." ]. FLOYD KING, of
Louisiana, is being neither prosecuted nor
prosecuted, but really being protected by
the Federal authorities" has had the eff
feet to assuage his desire to make great
hullabaloo over his affairs. In truth this
exposure has served to disrobe him of his
and hns placed him before the public in his
real attitude of boastful political hypo-
critic, if not worse. But it is due to At
torney- General DEvENs to explain that his
interference to prevent the immediate SER
vice of the edpias issued by the United
was based upon the sound legal as
sumption that it would have proved
to be unavailing. The precedent es-
tablished in the case of the attempted
arrest of Senator PATTERSON upon requi-
sition from the authorities of the State of
South Carolina appears to cover KINGS
case as well, and the laws which granted
immunity to the Republican Senator at
that time from political persecution would
now grant the same immunity to this red
handed bull-dozer of the Democratic House
from judicial prosecution. Mr. KING is,
therefore, the fortunate beneficiary of Gen
eral DEvENs' careful economy, an economy
which has saved the Government the ex-
pense, and its officers the trouble, Of going

nonsense rs is daily enncted by the MAJOR
ity in both Houses Of Congress, and they
are indicating very strongly that they have
found way out and are pursuing it. Un-
til the Democracy are reduced to minor
ity in the Government there will be no
peace, no security to the rights of citizen
ship; no safety TO the Constitution and the
laws and their guarantees; 10 public conf
dence; no stability in government or busi-
ness. These can be secured only by reduc-
ing the Confederate Brigadiers to the ranks
and placing them with the Coppcrheads ON
the back seats again, where they belong
1T must not be forgotten that the Solid
South obtained its clutch upon the throat
of the Government through the enfran-
chisement of the blacks, by which the ratio
of representation from that section was in
creased in the House. The Republican
party effected this enfrunchisement ns n
matter of principle, and as an illustration
of its devotion to the Heaven-born theory
of equal human rights. But in the recreant
days of Cancellation, when Southern Gush
was accounted or accepted as true loyalty
and the Bloody Shirt disciples were scorned
and derided as sectionalists or us sensational
agitators, that principle and that theory were
for the time being forgotten and ignored.
The pertinent lesson taught by this expe-
rience needs no elucidation at our hands, for
the era of bogus non-sectionalism is passed,
and the Republican leaders are one and all
in accord with the design of complete Re-
publican restoration ON the basis of the re-
construction acts and the constitutional
amendments If we cannot regain our lost
prestige in the South we can at least pre-
vent further or additional abuse Of the
magnanimity by which we enabled these
so-called ex-rebels to rehabilitate them
selves in the forfeited privileges of citizen
ship.

Synopsis of the New Postal Law.

The following synopsis of new legis-
lation contained in the new post-office
appropriation bill just passed, and
which goes into effect May /, has been
prepared at the department for the in
formation of the public: Mail matter
is divided into four classes. First, writ
ten matter; second, periodical publica-
tions; third, miscellaneous printed
matter; fourth, all matter not embrac-
ed in the other three classes, which is
not in its form OF nature liable to de-
strOy, deface or otherwise damage the
contents of mail bags, or harm the per-
son of any one engaged in the postal
service and is not above the weight
provided by the law, which is declared
not to be exceeding four pounds for
each package thereof, except in case of
single books weighing in excess of that
amount, Congressional documents and
matter emanating from any of the de-
partments of the Government, or from
the Smithsonian Institute. What is
known as the COmstOck law in regard
to obscene publications, is re-enacted,
and such matter, as well as matter re-
lating to lotteries, gift concerts, and
fraudulent schemes or devices, are de-
clared unavailable. Printed matter is
defined to be reproduction upon paper
by any process except that of hand
writing of any forms of letters, charac-
ters, figures, or images, or of any COM
bination thereof, not having the char
acter of actual and personal correspon-
dence.

publications which are issued at stated
intervals, and as frequently as four
