 to be driven through during the pres
 ent winter. II such Ehing is at all
 possible. The Southern Pacific,
 however, is apparently. also, par-
 nculaTly dessrous of building a rail- road to tue Atlantic Coast, and iasi ut present there is a good prospect of . very pretty contest between the
 friends of the respective schemes. The Southern Pacific is already build ing from Yuma, m Arizona, east ward, an'i iis friends claim that g charter is all chat IS absolutely nec- essary to secure it's early construction to she Atlantic seaboard. 1t is be- lieYed, however. Chat there are very good reasons for believing that, us a matter of fact, Mir. Huntington neither desTes nor intends building farther eastward than Tucson, hIs objecnve point being the Ciry of Mexieo. The present facilities for reaching that polnt are very meagre, and our Minister to Mexico giges a disco,lr4ging picture of the obstacles that are to be encountered before ra Did transit between the tho coun- tres can be established.
 There IS no doubt whatever as to the desrability of the construction of. 4 railway llne between acme poirlt in0 the Unlsed States and the eelttral part of Mexico, and those who are acquainted Sith the move meats of tue Southern Pacific, and who occupy positions emitting their statements to much confidence, assert thai. when the hue reaches the meridl- an of Tucson t will take souther- Iy direction. 4 connection with the Gulf of Mexico could be made, say at Lobcs, on the Gulf of California ID q short tune. which would give railway connection between that point and California, and the con- sTactlon Of the llne to the City of Mexico might be made, at most, l within three years. Such a line could 1 lot tail to be of great benefit to California, us well as 10 the Southern Pacific road nself. l. is a note worthy fact thar Mr. Huntington is pending most of h.s time at present n Washington for tbe evident pur- 1 pose of heading of the movement in i .ayor of the Texas paeihe. He dIs- dams all intention, however. of souEhward from Tucson, and [ le ought to know whereof be speaks when he says that the profits of such ! line are still remote. But there .re osbegs who have had good oppor- unites of judging of the matter by lersoBal observation, and otherwise. Fho tske an entirely different view of he matter. Whether or not Mir Huntington, in fact. intends build ng eastward as rapidly as Congress md the funds 10 be obtained will 'ermit, 8 railroad 10 the Pacific, by ray of the Southern route, cannot ail to be of great advantage to many portions of tbe country.

Two years hence will occur the centen-
NAL Of the surrender of a. British army aud
a naval force by Earl CORVALLIS, at York
town, Va. and by the arrival of that day
the people of the Old Dominion hope they
may secure the monument which Congress
voted should be erected on the scene Of the
surrender We believe the people through
out tho whole country will sympathize with
that hope. Fortunately there is neither
North nor South in the cultivation Of the
great remembrances that come from be-
yond the time of our savage slave war
schism. If there is any aspect in which We
are and always have been one people 1t is
in the glory we feel in the achievements of
our Rev olutionary fathers-in those achieve
ments not so great in the strictly military
sense as many we have seen. but as great
as any the world ever saw in their intention,
greater than most in their results. Virginia
was thrilled with the story of Lexington as
profoundly as WAS Massachusetts,. ''Our
brethren are already in arms" Was the way
the story passed in their homes. And Vir-
ginia can never outdo the North in appreci-
otlOu VI tut SfttI iucu VIC OiA Aot"eO OSh-
tributed to the cause. For the sense OF
unity, brotherhood, and a common nation
atty that is inseparable from the revival of
those memories we hope the revival may
continue and that the centennial move
ment may not die out. Especially we
hope the question of this Yorktown monu-
ment may be taken earnestly in hand.
Congress voted great many monuments
that have not been built for the Congress
was just in its recognition of heroic deeds,
but the country was poor and could not
carry out the generous views of the Legis-
lature. Now. however, the country is rich
enough to meet the moral obligation of all
those votes, and should do it. We sim
cerely hope that the movement initiated by
the preliminary celebration of to-day may
be crowned with success ere the hundred
years come round.

The Sale OF n Kingdom.

The extinction of royalty in North Amer
lea by the death Of the last Of the Montauk
Indian Pharaohs few months ago was fol-
lowed yesterday by the sale of the last frag-
ment of the territory of which his ancestors
were monarchs for generations before the
first white man invaded Long Island. Our
dispatches give full description of the
proceedings. A resident Of Brooklyn is
the purchaser of the breezy headland whose
name is so familiar in political oratory
as the antithess to Niagara in describing
the boundaries of the State Of New York. It
is indeed magnificent domain, and many
proud title springs in Europe from landed
possessions which are insignificant by COM
parison. One Of the unsuccessful bidders
at the sale is described as an agent of Mr..
Tilden. Failing first in the contest for the
American Presidency and again in the
struggle for the Bulgarian throne, Mr..
Tilden now is loser also in q struggle for
the kingdom Of Montauk. When Will the
tide of his luck turn?

MR.. BOUCICAULT RETIREs.

The illness Mr.. Bouccault. its manager. has
pronounced by DR.. Alexander Mott. his medical at.
tendant. to bo paralysis. consultation to which
DIR. Metcalfo was called yesterday confirmed that
opinion. Although his condition is critical thoir
opinion is that with entire rest and sccusion from

has been postponed till next season. Mr.. Theodore

So far as concerns antagonizing Russia
there appears to be little difference between
an absolute annexation of Afghanistan to
the domains OF the Empress of India and
tho plan of controlling the government
of the country by o British resi-
dent, supported by q British army,
and leaving titular Ameer on the
throne. This is disclosed by our special
cable despatch to-day as the scheme Of
Lord Lytton, and is reported as under
favorable consideration by Cabinet Coun-
Gil. The situation does look serious, in
deed.
In despatch from Simla it is stated
that sthe report Of the Russian occupation
of Merv is "known to be untrue" +"
Perhaps the next report from India
will be correction Of the denial.
Russia has intended this occupation
for year, and two expeditions were on
foot to accomplish it. One was to move
from the Oxus across the Kizil-Kum, the
other from the Caspian Sea. That from
the Caspian is in retreat; that from
the Oxus, we are told, has succeeded.
In these two facts perhaps we may
discern the plan of tho expedition, for
it is supposable that the Caspian column
was feint intended to draw the defenders
Of Mcrv far away from the neighborhood of
that city in order to expose it uncovered to
the rush of the troops across the Kizil-Kum.
Menaced from the side of the Caspian. the
Turcomans concentrated their resistance in
that direction, and drove before them the
Russians, who perhaps give way with we'll
feigned confusion until they were as far
from Merv as is on the other side the point
at which the Turkestan columns were 10 be
concentrated, and then these columns
rushed across the sands and surprised the
city. All that we know Of the Russian plans
is in accordance with such a scheme (; and
it is difficult to understand how anything
but the fact of the capture could have in
formed the people of Merv Of what was on
foot. Without the presence Of the Russians
at Merv how could they have known of this
Intention?

The Blair Verdict.

The Jury in the Blair case has finally de-
clared the prisoner not guilty. Doubtless
this verdict was in fact obtained in defiance
of the rule of unanimity. All the twelve
men did not believe the accused guiltless,
any more than all the twelve believed him
guilty. But a majority were from the first
perhaps, in favor of acquittal. and few of
another mind. If the jury had been dis
charged at an earlier day they would have
remained OF their respective opinions, there
would have been failure to agree and q
miscarriage of justice. But they held to-
gether until the minority surrendered
worn out with fatigue and anxious to get
away. Consequently this verdict is the
verdict OF majority only the minority
agreed to formally "make IL unanimous"
Just as they do in the conventions. How
large q proportion of verdicts is
reached in that way? Perhaps there
is more or less of this moral
pressure on O minority in the greater
number of tho cases that are given to- jury.
We do not hold the verdicts any less valid
for this reason. Only wo would prefer that
1t should be the principle of the law that o
majority should decide rather than that
this fact should be brought about in defeat
of tho law. 1t comes to the same thing with
regard to justice If man is acquitted be-
cause eight or nine favor that and the rest
assent in order to get away rs If the law au-
thorzed the nine to acquit and disregarded
the three. But when the three are obstinate
or cantankerous 1t is not the same, and the
law should remove the possibility of the
evil they can do. We have. by the practical
coercion of juries that is permitted, some of
the advantages Of the majority rule; but
one ugly man may deprive us of that ad-
vantage in any given case. The verdict in
this case, as rendered, determines the law
of tho relations of householders and SER
wants in n manner Of which servants dis
posed to give way to q violent temper will
do we'll to take notice.

the long and brilliant success of the old
democratic party TO the soundness OF its
financial policy. 1t was due to quite other
causes The Embargo caused severity of
commercial distress which would have
swept the party out of power if it had not
been able to kindle patriotic indignation
against England for impressing our seamen.
The second war against England, which
soon followed, electrified the popular heart
and insured the ascendancy of the demo-
cratic party for the next generation. The
brilliant victory of New Orleans, at the
close of the war, made General Jackson a
popular idol, and the party subsisted
for long time on the enthusiasm
inspired by his heroic qualities. 1t
was badly defeated under his inn
mediate successor, in consequence
OF financial distress. unrelieved by any
thing which could rouse the popular heart;
but it soon recovered itself by skilful
appeal to the passion for national aggran-
dizement in the annexation OF Texas.
But public prosperity could not retain it
in power when it had no longer any appeal
fell heir to such an incentive. Although
the war with Mexico was democratic
war two distinguished whig generals bore
off all the brilliant honors and one OF them
was elected President. Such is the great
advantage of having something to offer
which inspires the feeling of patriotism or
the strong popular tendency to hero wor-
ship. If the old democrats had great
card. in the hero of New Orleans the old
wings had afterward great card in the
hero of Buena Vista.
The democratic party at present, besides
resting under u financial cloud, is destitute
Of any inspiring policy and has no great
popular hero; the republican party, on the
other hand, basks in commercial sunshine of
its own creation aud has in its ranks
q military hero whose fame is frightened
with fresh lustre by reflection in universal
mirror of foreign appreciation. Although
it might safely rely on the former of these
advantages it seems more than half in
clined to venture on the seductive expert
ment Of utilizing the latter.
