NOTWITHSTANDING Mr.. Abe Hewitt's
hostility to the American Navy and devo-
tion to British interests, we venture to pre-
dict that be will not have the nerve to offer
John Codman's proposed amendment to the
Navy bill, compelling the Secretary to
receive bids from British ship builders for
the construction of the proposed new ships
Hewitt isn't that kind of man. He prefers
to serve his masters by dilatory tactics.
But he will be foiled in the end. England
cannot handle ireland and the United
States at the same time-not even with
Abe Hewitt, Beck, Bayard and John Cod
man to help her.

Mr.. J. S. ROBINSON, of Massachusetts,
sends us, under his frank (happy privi-
lege), copy of the bill reported by him
from the House Committee ON Pacific Rail-
roads, which was commented on in the
news columns of THE CRITIC ON Thursday
last and editorially on Friday.
The bill sent us has the following para
graph marked and :talicised;
P1orided, h0acsrer, That no railroad corpora
toD shall consolidate with, or lease, or pur-

chase, or In any way become owner OF or con-
troll any other railroad corporation, or any
stock franchise, rights, or property thereof,
which owns or controls a parallel or competing
limo of railroad; and no officer Of dnU railroad
corporation shqH De an QWcT Oh any 0hef Whtca
oWHs or controls a parallel or competing line.
If this is intended as an answer to the
comments of THE CRrTTc, Mr.. Robinson is
simply showing his own ignorance or assum-
ing that of THE CRITIC.
The Southern Pacific Railway, through
the Territories Of Arizona and New Mexico,
is built under territorial charters in Texas,
the short distance it extends under one
from the State, and in California under ono
from the United States. Nowhere on the
entire line of this road is there mile of
competing railway or mile running
parallel to it nearer than the Central Pacific.
From Southern California, through Arizona
and New Mexico to El Paso, Texas, it runs
over the line surveyed and claimed by the
Texas Pacific, and through the lands con-
ditionally granted by Congress to that cor
poration, and at the last named point con-
meets with the Texas Pacific, built West
ward to meet it.
If Mr.. Robinson will walk over to the
Congressional Library-room and turn to
the files of the New York World, taking
the one of November II, 1881, he will find
the terms in full of the contract by which
the Texas Pacific transfers to the Southern
Pacific all the rights and privileges it had
acquired under its charter from Congress in
the Territories and in California.
If the different Southern Pacifics in Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas
are allowed to consolidate as they are un-
der this bill, and that road consolidates
with the Texas Pacific, the new corpora
tion will claim to have acquired the rights
conferred on the Texas Pacific, and there is
nothing in the above proviso to prevent the
consolidation.
The clause prohibiting certain officers
from holding Office in the new road is
puerile. Neither Mr.. Jay Gould nor Mr.. G.
p. Huntington care for the empty honor oi
being a railroad president. They want the
dollars that would result from this combi-
nation, and have plenty of associates, out
of Congress, to act as figurehead presidents
secretaries, &c., of the Texas g. Southern
Pacific Railroad Company.
The Evening critic., 1882-05-16

We HOPE that the bill introduced by
Mr.. Aldrich rendering the thanks Of
Congress to Lieutenant Danenhower and
promoting him to Lieutenant Commander
will be passed at once by unanimous con-
sent. No greater exhibition of the highest
qualities of manhood, courage, endurance,
fortitude and fidelity has ever been made in
our service than that of this young man. He
has escaped with life, but probably crippled
forever. There can be no doubt that to the
unflinching example of Danenhower and
his comrade, Melville, is altogether due the
discipline and behavior of their boats
crew, by means Of which alone any lives at
all were saved from the luckless Jeanette.
The recognition proposed by Senator Al
drich is graceful and timely, but in order
to give value to the man for whom it is in
tended, the measure should be passed at
once, aeH. con.

that they reached the conclusion that the plate
