ONE of the great questions which the
new administration will be called upon
to settle is the litigation with the Central
Pacific railroad. 1t is claimed that this
great company has been Systematically
defrauding the government by diyerting
the earnings from their proper channels
to others for the benefit of the monopoly.
The amount of the swindle is said to be
so great as to be almost beyond calcu-
latiOn. The facts i'm the case are to be
laid before General Garfield to guide
him in the appointment of an Attorney
General and Secretary of the Interior.

THE presentation of the Obelisk to the

THE Railway Age in its next issue will
publish a correct statement of the rail
way constructions in 1880, which will
show that the railway mileage laid in
the United States during 1880 was 7,401
miles, which is about thirty-Hve miles
more than the greatest mileage ever con.
structed in one year-in island fal
greater than in any subsequent year
Adding these figures to those of POOr's
Manual showing the mileage in existence
at the close of 1879, it is found that the
total railway mileage of the United States
January 1, 1881, was 93,S98,71, miles
This is most extraordinary develop
ment, showing an increase of nearly
fifty per cent in the last eight years.

A SPECIAL Dispatch to The Detroit Free
Press. from Washington says: Except
among persons who are anxious to get
soft clerkships and the like there is
but little interest taken there regarding
the organization of the Senate after the
4th of March. Looked at merely from a
party point of view, the wisest and most
far-sighted Democrats are convinced that
it would be constnt source of embar-
rassment to them to have the response
bility of attempting to control the legis-
lative policy of the Senate with con-
stantly uncertain majority of only one.
Among the best Democratic leaders
there would be very few mOurners if
Malone should vote with the Republicans
in the coming organization. The fact is
they feel that with the loss of Thurman,
Herman, Wallace and Eaton the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate would be more fOrtu-
nate to be in minority of one, than in
a majority of one, or two, or three"

ed to the Senate differs from that report
ed in the House, sometime since. 1t not
only declares that the consent of the

]. B. BLOSS, of Detroit, and one of the
most prominent of the temperance lead
ers of Michigan, has written letter in
which he expresses himself as strongly
opposed to disturbing the liquor-tax law

ed at the conclusion that stringent
license law is the only means through
which the liquOrseller can be effectively

IT is stated that there are eighteen
thousand families suffering in Kansas
in the counties of Pratt, Ellis Rush.
Philips, Graham, Decatur, Norton, Sheri-
dan, TregO and Osborne, and measures
are being taken to distribute the $4,000
recently appropriated by the state Legis-
lature among them. Kansas is nice
state to emigrate to. If these families
had come to Michigan they would have
escaped such suffering.

The proposition in the Senate to send
an embassy to Mexico to effect a settle
ment of the questions at issue between
that country and the United States is
exciting much comment in Washington.
1t is an unusual thing to send on such
mission representatives with the rank
of ambassador. The motive is believed
to be desire to crafty the vanity of
our sister Republic and stimulate the
friendly feeling now existing.

Railroad RumbIings.

On Wednesday last, after going to
press, we noticed a "mob" of men
coming across the bridge from the
train, and after making their way to
the Central House, we discovered it
was only Whittekin's engineer corps.
They chartered Mr.. Jackson's team to
take them as far as Nebraska where
they commenced work on an expert
mental line from Nebraska to the vi
cinity of Marienvile to intersect with
a line ON which Mr.. Whittekin was
engaged several years ago aud which
is now being retraced by Henry Cob
ham, @. E., of Warren, in the interest
of the n. Y. g. u H. r. r., and N.
Y. L. E. & w. r, r. The "boys" are
lively set and will much enjoy the
work in the "big woods" and laurel
thickets which are simply immense"
in that section Of the country. What
sort of line will be gotten on Big
Coon Greek is very uncertain at the
present writing but the best obtaina-
bic route will undoubtedly be looked
up by the parties in charge of the
survey. The part of the line surveyed
by Whittekin on the Tionesta creek
servey was, we believe, very satisfac-
tory to the parties employing him aid
| this is q guarantee that the line up
Coon Creek will be we'll looked after
and our railroad routes given theil
just deserts. What will be done with
the TionesLa Railroad is, as yet, uncer-
tain, though it is thought that the
road will be commenced this summer.
Mr.. D. w. Clark has negotiated for
most Of the right-of way from Tionesta
to the county line and has made some
arrangements with parties in Warren
county. That part Of the work is vir.
tually settled, and we may soon heal
the shrill whistle sounding along the
creek, and hear, "change cars for Ne
braska, Newtown" &C., in our midst
Mr.. G. e. La andsrath, of Rouseville
came to town on Wednesday last an(
passed out of town with the engineer
Of the Coon creek survey, where hi
holds the position of Leveller, and il
Whittekin's right hand man. HI
wss, also, Mr.. Stephenson's principa
assistant in the work which was done
on Tionesta creek by that party.

Obituary.

Phillip Long was killed by the fall
ing of piece of timber at Brace &
Aliens saw mill, in Hickory to wn-
ship, Forest Co., Pa, July 10, 1881,
in the 34th year of his age.
Bro. Long was converted to God,
in December of 1875, at East Hick-
ory, under the labors of Rev. Jehnr
Abbott, and Immediately connected
himself with the NJ E. Church at that
place, and ever afterward lead an ex-
emplary life; so much SO as to COM
mand the respect and confidence Of
those who employed him, and that Of
his fellow laborers. He filled the
Office of Class Leader for about two
years, with acceptability, md profit
to the members of his class. In his
religious experience he was not dem
onstrative, but exhibited an evenness
of temperrnent and life worthy Of inn
itation. He has left a wife who
mourns the loss Of a loving husband,
the community good citizen, and the
church an esteemed member. How
important for all to obey the scriptural
injunction "Be ye also ready; for at
an hour whom ye think not the Son of
man cometh."
A large contourse of sympathizing
friends followed his remains to their
resting place. The funeral services
were conducted by the writer. God
helps US to be "always ready"

from the old we'll. Should the owners
conclude to torpedo it they could un-
doubtedly make big we'll Of it. This
does not seem to be their aim at pres
