Railroad earnings make a very
strong exhibit, and have probably
been greater for the last four months
than ever before. OF course the gen
eral prosperity of the country, the
revival in all industries, the vast
amount of produce shipped to the
seaboard, have caused this increase,
and it cannot be kept up unless the
general prosperity continues. The
new railroads west of the Mississippi
can hardly hope that the country
they are opening up will develop
rapidly enough to pay their outlay
for a good many years. 1t is this
railroad business that is doing much
to stimulate traffic in stocks, and ifit
continues, as the signs of the times
now strongly pretend it will, another
strong. speculative movement may
very certainly be calculated upon.-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,

Special oorrespondence to The Repub,icar
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan, 81. 1880.
Some of our party friends have
been unnecessarily agitated lately
over me very animated but good
natured controversy in Pennsylvania
on the Residential question. The
facts are IN brief, these: Sen. Came.
ron got elected chairman of the Ma.
tional committee for the ayowed MIR.
pose OF helping the Grant boom. He
Immediately had the convention of
his state called early in order to pro.
mote That object. But the result was
different from what he anticipated
ana desired. 1t is reported even that
Senator Blaine, instead of General
Grant has majority in that conyen-
ton which is to meet next week and
choose delegates to Chicago. Sena-
tor cameron is disappointed. A
meeting Was held at his house last
night to induce him to abandon his
purpose to have the State convention
Instructed. 1t is said he is stubborn
and threatens to smash things if he
cant have his way; but we don't
credit this. The majority must rule,
whether for Blaine or Grant, and the
Republican party must win the next
battle without regard to the prefer
ences for standard bearers.
A case OF civil service reform
comes from South Carolina. Secre>
tary Schurz allowed allowed Sena
tors Butler and Hampton of that
State to designate the Supervisors of
the Census. One of them turns out
to he man under indictment for ia,
king part in the election riots and
killing negroes. The President at
once with drew his nomination, and
the bloodthirSty Senators declare it
is Republican party scheme. 1t is
manifest that the President has be-
come very stalwart, and is deter.
mined that the eX-rebels shall not
have every thing their own way.
The Democrats are still holding
back the United States Marshals bill
IN the hope that by postponing it
until late in the session they may cut
off debate. But they will not sue
coed, The Republicans will resist
any and all the starving out" meas
ures of the Democrats, now and all
the time. Meanwhile the real bust
ness of the session has to await the
mission of men who are trying to
kill time in order to save their party
from fatal blunders.
Complaints are very general against
the Indian and the Pension offices,
and Secretary Schurz is much criti-
cised for retaining Commissioners
Hayt and Bentley, Notwithstanding
Republi, ans and Democrats alike
complain of their lnefficiency. The
soldiers are bitter in their complaints
about delays in Pension matters, and
the excuse of Bentley that he hasn't
help enough is too transparent. Our
party can't afford to keep up that ex-
pensive system much longer. The
late failures in Indian management
are no less inefficient. and Secretary
Schurz ought to see it.
Anticipating the large emigration
to the West, Senator Paddock of Ne
braska. is engaged in worthy efforts
to perfect the laws governing the
public lands and the entering of set
tiers thereon. He has introduced
several bills with this object in view,
and will demand prompt action upon
them.

A correspondent of the Ironton
Register, writing from the Hooking
region, has this to say about Rail
roads:
The Ohio & West Virginia railroad
has caused great demand for men in
this region of country, great number
being employed for the hasty compile
ton of that road. The work on this
end of the road is about done, except
the bridge over the Hooking river, and
it Is all built ready to be put up at once.
The rolling stock Is all ready, and In a
short time-as soon as the bridge over
the Hooking is done-the track layers
will start from Logan to Gallipolis with
the track. They will make quick work
of getting the track down, as every
thing is in readiness for business. The
stock tor this road is of the best in ev-
cry respect. They have at present, over
six hundred cars of different kinds, now
in readiness. Their new locomotives
are of the best manufacture, and pre-
sent fine appearance, being finely fin
ished.
Lawrence .County's railroad is the
next enterprise on hands for Southern
Ohio. The Springfield Southern was,
this week, widened from a narrow gauge
to standard gauge, from Springfield
to the town of Jackson, distance OF
10 miles; and an excursion train, on
New Year was run to jackson, made
up of railroad officials, capitalists, busi-
ness men and newspaper men.
The next object in view, is to construct
this road down the Symmes Valley to
lockwood, opposite Huntington. This is
the only route that this road can take to
give them an outlet and connection
with the C. & o. X. r. and the seaboard OF
Norfolk. And, rs Gen. Thomas says,
this is the only route that will make the
Springfield Southern a paying road. 1t
is said the survey from Jackson to Rock
wood will not exceed forty miles, and
that the road will not be a very costly
one to build, considering the route.
An engineer corps will probably 60 over
the route this month, when we shall
hear more of it. General Thomas has
turned the greater part of the manage
nient of this road over to Mr.. Whiteley,
of Springfield, man with lots of brains
and business experience, and lots of
money, which is the main thing in
building railroads.

United states Senator.


Gen. James A. Garfield is to be the
successor of Hon. A. G. Thurman in
the Senate Of the United States.
His nomination by the Republican
caucus is without precedent. No 9TH
er name was presented, SO sure was
it that he was the choice of the Re-
publicans of the State, and he was
nominated by acclamatioD, accompa-
MED by cheers and other demonstra-
tions of joy. This action will be en-
dorsed by the Legislature, as it is al
ready endorsed by the people. Gen.
Garfield is q chief among the great
men of the Nation. He began life
poor boy, and has risen 20 his present
exalted eminence by the force of his
own native energy. He will honor
Ohio, and serve the Nation with
marked ability and craftsmanship,
in the new position to which he has
been called.
