More Sings Of the Times.

resolution was lately introduced in
the New Hampshire Legislature thanking
Congress for FORGETTING tho Texas Picific
land grant and it promptly passed ooth
houses without opposition. New Hamp-
shire is long way from Texas, and tho
interest Of her citizens in the forfeited
land grant cannot be direct, but the
LEGISLATURE went out OF its way to thank
Congress for the forfeiture.
This is only one OF the many signs

Issue In this country is between the
railroads and the people. The struggle
has been slow in coming to head.
Many false starts have been made. The
people have committed many mistakes.
The unwise Granger movement retarded
the agitation for several years, The
railroads have power enough to kill sew
eral Of the ablest anti-monopoly leaders
aud money enough to buy up others,
but the movement has all the while been
gaining ground little by little, and
making Roadway even in the most
unlikely places. 1t will very soon be a
question not whether nti-monopoly
is still alive, but whether there is any
other issue worth fighting for.
The people OF the United States pay in
round numbers 81 600, OO0, GOO, year !ol

nately earned and how much OF it Is
fliched from the people by grasping cor

American statesmen to study to-d day. HI

About four weeks ago, 1t will be
remembered, the Times, III announcing
the "tying up up by injunction OF all
the lead Mt tho Richmond Eureka,
Neynda) refinery, we expressed the
opinion that this would cause a rise in
lead. Our opinion was based upon q
knowledge OF the Richmond Company's
mode Of doing business, and the
depleted condition cf the lead market
vt that time. The company named inva-
riably holds It's lead for years, II neces-
nary, until 1t cnn secure the highest
market price, when 1t unfoads' and
thus swamps the market. In the pres
ont instance 1t had 5000 tons on hand,
and this visible supply, being known at
all trade centers, had an alarming effect
on prices, notwithstanding other Offer
crings OF lend were small. Once the
Richmond Company was restrained
from seeking u market, however, the
available supply Of the metal enhanced
in value. The latest quotations are firm
ut s. per hundred pounds--an nppre-
citation OF fully ne-half cent per
pound during tho past four weeks
HALEY Times.
Yes, We remember about four weeks
ago the HALEY Times made just such a
nonsensical assertion - that 5000 tons
OF lead was held by the Richmond Com
pany, and that was the cause OF the
advance In lead. The simple PROPOSE
ton that one little mining company
producing lead out OF the many thous-
ands operating In tho silver and lead
producing sections Of the country could
he able to control tho price Of lead
alone Then, again, the lead held by
the Richmond Company is not much
more than worth the freight charges
over the Eureka Il Palisade and Central
Pacific Railroads to Ogden. The reason
tho lead has accumulated at those works
and not placed upon the market before
is that the lead would not sell for enough
to pay for handling and freight charges
to get 1t to mnrket-that is, when the
price OF lead was down. Lead has
advanced land from natural causes, OF
which the Times man Is no more con
versant than anyone else--from natural
causes, II commercial problem. We are
personally conversant with the work
ings Of tho Richmond Company, so far
Ms lead is concerned, und know it could
not control any market much less that
of lend. That company can no more
control the lend market than the Phila.
delphin Smelter ut Ke.chum can control
the silver market, or the HALEY Times
can control the press OF Alturas county

commanded IN tho past, and commodi-
ties will sell for less than they have been
worth. TO live, the workingman and
the producer will hove Thereafter to
practice economies heretofore unknown
In this country. When people are
brought face to face with the stern facts
it will not be as easy as it has been for
monopolics to buy their votes, to corrupt
commissions, to dcbauch legislatures.
When the people are reused 1t will be
unhealthy business for member of q
Legislature to sell his vote, or for public
official to become the retainer OF cor
poration. Traitors have lost their lives
for treachery in times gone by; we are
arc the children OF their executioners
with the same impulse as they. When
workman has to choose between fight
ing monopoly or letting his children
starve, it will not take long for him to
make up his mind, nor will he be very

HOODS NASHVILLE CAMPAIGN.

How Thomas Broke the Confederate
Commanders Lines.
Ex-confedernte Capt. Wright in Phila. Times.l
Allusion has already been made to the
unusual distincness with which from our
hillside we could SEQ more thar n mile Of
Hoods line to our left. Beyond that the
view was cut off by a thick skirt Of woods
through which his line of battle passed.
No member OF our victorious brigades who
witnessed that terr$ble rout can ever forget
the surprise and chagrin with which we saw
men and riderless horses rushing in wild con-
fusion from that woods towafds the Franklin
pike In our rear. closely pursued by the
|boyn In blue" and the smoke and carnage
OF battle, and thon regiment after regiment
falling back in succession from their works
to avoid being thanked, until It became nee
essary to withdraw the whole Of Hoods
right wing In haste TO prevent our retreat
from being cut of by a movement from our
left and rear. Soon, over the plains in full
Wow, there was a scene of confusion that
battles description. Tho horses Of /. battery
where the horses had not been killed or
disabled-were rushed to the front at full
speed and hitched to their guns to carry
them off and avoid capture. Towards our
left were many too late to save their
batteries In a short time the rout and dis
organization were complete.
How 30 fatal a breach was made in any
part of Hoods line, after every other assault
that day had been SO completely re-
pulsed, was a mystery and a stunning sur
prise TO the rest Of his army who had held
their portion OF tho works. All we could
then learn was hat part OF the division
OF Gen. Bate NOW Gov. Bate Of TENNESSEE
had been driven from their entrenchments,
and 1t was asserted that they had not made
proper efforts to bold them. As these same
troops were charged with failure In duty not
long before at Murfreesboro, to the great
surprise Of their comrades in arms, deep and
loud were the curses upon them for bring
ing this greatest Of disasters upon our south
srn arms and that In sight of their homes.
It was conceded even then that Gen Bate
was an able and gallant commander, but q
deep regret was expressed that part OF his
command had not acted with a valor worthy
OF IN 1t has since been explained that by
some error in alignment one Of his brigades
had a difficult point to hold In the dark
ness Of the previous night they had occupied
a mound, Mt the base OF which 1t was easy
for the Union forces to mass themselves near
our works for attack under cover of a heavy
artillery fire.
Gen Thomas took advantage OF this and
between 3 and 4 p. m, under a concentrated
FIRE of many field pieces, he pushed forward
n division OF infantry to the base of this
mound, where they were well protected. By
a sudden and gallant charge these men
scaled the mound and carried the entrench-
ments that crowned 1t, Bates men not VEN
turing to show their heads above their works
on account of the storm of shot and shell that
swept them incessantly until the assault was
consummated. This one breach was so
promptly followed up by Thomas over
whelming numbers that Hoods army was
crushed and all chances of his success in
Tennessee finally destroyed.

THE strong speech delivered by Sena-
tor Van Wyck in the United States sem
ate yesterday will bear careful perusal.
Its general subject, the discrimination Of
railroads against particular localities,
places before the country an issue which
should command the thoughtful consid-
Grafton Of every statesman. The railroads
have rights which should neither be for.
gotten or overlooked, but if this is true
the reverse is just as true. The people
also have rights which it is understood
the railroads are bound to respect but
which as a matter Of fact they seldom do.
There is crying need of a law which will
better regulate interstate mme and,
as Senator Van Wyck intimates, the sem
ate should not adjourn until they pass a
bill which will more jealousy guard the
interests of the people against the inroads
Of grasping monopolies.
