The LIMIT OF RAILRoADs.-Mr.
Edward Atkinson has been engaged In
sketohing the future of railroad devel-
opment in the United States. He
concludes, after allowing for one
commercial crisis and one railroad
panic within the next seven years,
that 1850 miles of new railroad will
be built before the beginning OF 1900.
Theleiwere 81, 900 in operation at the
first of 1881, and he expects this figure
to be swelled to about 200, 900 by the
close of the century. He finds that
the state of Massachusetts had on the
LIST of January, 1881, one mile of road
to each 4.12 square mile of surface,
and the rest of the world followed in
this order: Belgium, England and
Wales, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Indiana, New Hamp>
shire, Switzerland, ending with Now
York, which has one mile oil road to
each o 8 square miles.

FIR u. the American Register.
In regard TO the circulation Of gold,
the figures Of Director Burchard, of the
M int, furnish gratifying evidence OF the
act that the silver doll r is making
most excellent headway in circulation
with the more pretentious and ambit-
ions gold eagle. According TO Mr.. Bur
chard, taking he estimate of specie cir
culatioD on the Both of June, 1880, and
add nP the net gain by import and coin
age, and deduct the loss from the
consumption in manufactures, he esti-
mates that at the close of the fiscal year
the gold coin circulation amounted to
$40 100000, and of silver coin S17l 5OO,-
600. These amounts were further IN.
creased up TO the first of November, and
at that date the amount OF specie, in
Gliding bullion in the mints and assay
offices, available for and awaiting coin
age, was s553 900 900 OF gold and $780,
900 of silver, total Of S7I9 OO0,0OO
Considering that silver had been out
lawed for number of ears by act of
Congress, and that II Is not yet four
years since Its coinage was authorized
no higher proof of the wisdom OF that
measure could be adduced, and If the
men who lsbored, through storm of
o5loquy and denunciation to secure II =,
needed any vindication of either their
sagaclty or their patriotism, the figures
of Mr.. Burchard furnish 1t in abundance
The coinage of gold has never been In
teTrupted or attempted to be hsmpered
by legislative enactments, while, with a
faulty that exceeds anything known to
history, American Legislators struck
down and deprecated one Of our mt st.
valuable products, because 1T happened
to be called silver. and its value as a cir
culating medium was deemed by inter-
ested parties to be detrimental to that OF

CONGRESS meets to-day at IL o'clock. |
1t is not expected there will be any
difficulty in organizing the House at
once, as the Republican members met
in caucus on Saturday and nominated
General Kelfer, of Ohio, for Speaker,
and the nomination was made unani
nous after the sixteenth vote, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Hiscock, of New York,
one of the principal opponents. Ed
ward Mcpherson, of Pennsylvania,
was nominated for Clerk.
There was considerable feeling
evinced at this result. 1t was entirely
adverse to the hopes and confident ex
pectations of great number of mem
bers. Gen. Keifer is pronounced
Stalwart, and his election is charged
to the influence Of the President and
Senator Cameron. On Friday alter
noon Hiscock's friends it is asserted
were confident OF his election, and
had been promised the votes of the
Pennsylvania delegation but on that
night Don Cameron put in an appear
ance, and by the next day nearly the
whole programme was reversed. 1t is

The Democratic caucus met on Sat-
urday afternoon after the adjournment
of the Republican caucus and re-
solved to vote for ex-Speaker Samuel
j. Randall, for Speaker. This is a
well deserved compliment, and shows
that Mr.. Randall is held in a higher
place in The lead of the Democracy

A PENNSYLVANIA judge has struck
a heavy and most damaging blow at
political villainy in that State. The
city OF Philadelphia, it is well known,
is the banner city of political ras-
cality, and that there vulgar bosses
have achieved the highest distinction.
After the late municipal election, at
which Mayor King was elected, WIN.
Coates, a judge Of election Thomas
McKane, an inspector, and Frank
Erhmau, his clerk, were indicted for
the violation of the election laws, aid
last week the jury rendered verdict
of not guilty as to Coates aud Erhman,
but of guilty as to McKane, who was
recommended to mercy. In pronounc.
ing sentence upon McKane, Judge
Ludlow said
"The jury have recommended you to
rthe mercy of the court, and sm obliged,
TO certain extent, to take notice Of that
recommendation. Have you anything
to say as TO the persons who induced you
to commit this offence of which you now
stand Convicted"
"NO one induced me to do any thng,n
the prisoner replied.
"The act Of assembly prescrlbes for a
| conviction of this kind an Imprisonment
of . year and fine Of not less than
$780," said Judge La How, "aud it also
prescribes hat which perhaps is the
most formidable part OF the judgment
which will not, however, enter in YOU

you UNDERGO an imprisonment Of sever
months, that you pay tine of 500, an'
that for the period Of seven years you b
disabled from holding auy position o
honor, trust, or profit in this Common
wealth, and, moreover, for The sam
period be disabled from giving your vot
at any general or special election in thi
Commonwealth"
