THE THURMAN RAILROAD ACT.
from the St. Louis Republican,

From the st. Louis Republican.
Senator Thurman has just received, in
the supreme courts affirmation of the
cc'nstItutionality OF the Thurman Pacific
railroad act "A triumph which must blunt
the pang of his defeat in Ohio. That act,
framed, reported and urged to passage
IN the senate by the Ohio senator, is one
OF great Importance to the country, since
it provided the only machinery that
could he provided for compelling the
Union and Central Pacific roads to pay
their debt to the government. 1t pro-
vides that they shall pay over to the
government a certain percentage Of
their earnings, amounting to about 49,
OOO, 900 year, to be invested as sink
ing fund tor the extinguishmcnt of their
Indebtedness to the government. This
indebtedness, at its present rate OF in
crease, will, by the time it falls due,
amount to nearly $40, 100000, and If
the present law could be evaded they
would probably never pay the debt. The
law compels them to pay it by small an
nual installments out OF their earnings.
They resisted it on the ground that it
was an unconstitutional interference
with their chartered rights, and three of
the supreme justices take this view OF
it; but the decision of the court, as de-
livered by tho chief,justice, is in favor
OF the law, and It will, therefore, stand
and have to be obeyed. 1t relieves the
government of the danger of having to
pay 500, 100000 which the roads alone
ought to pay and are amply able to pay. If
MIR. Thurman had done nothing, during
his service in the senate, but devise this
measure. it alone would be sufficient to
entitle him to the public gratitude.
