those whose fortunes amount to S4O0,

Springfield Republican,
San Francisco may we'll be proud Of
her next congressman-Genera Rose
Grams. II has been we'll understood
that nothing but his personal interest
in General Hancock, to whom he
taught engineering at West Point,
andwith whom he has associated much
since, brought him out into active
politics in his advanced years. | am
sure hal republican votes helped to
elect him, and sure that he will well
help to represent California in the
national congress, irrespective of party
and that his ability and modest de-
pertinent will reflect credit upon the
state, Yet, simple. hearted and old
fashioned as he is, General Rosecrans,
or "Old Rosy" as he was familiarly
designated during the war, is not only
a mar ofextensive practical ideas and
a model organizer, but is also a man o.
literary and fine tastes, and is fastidi-
ously discriminating in regard to many
things which are generally supposed
to belong to an aesthetic rather thar
to Sc. practical an organization.

Cath thus writes Of Jay Gould and
his purposes:
The political debate is now changed
into a railroad outlook, and the specu-
lators take the place Of the politicians
in public interest. Jay Gould, Of
course, is on top. 1t has been clear
for several years back that unless
Gosld should meet With some great
backset, such as might result from a
famine or a long panic, he would
superoede Wm. Vanderbilt as the
richest mar on the continent. He is
already believed to be the largest
lender Of money in New York, |
heard this disputed yesterday, and il
was reported that all the brokers' who
represent Gould had an abundance Of
lendings. He is sad to have lent six
millions "a few yeeks ago TO a group Of
German bankers on eol,a.seral and
some Of his associates have said TO me
that be only waited the moment Il
feel that the laws and the courts
could be trusted in the south, to ia.
