The Congo River Railroad.

The engineers who surveyed the
route reported that it would not cost
more than $1,000, 900 to build and
equip the line and pay interest on
the capital invested during the four
years required to build the road. The
party, which spent many months
navigating the upper Congo and its
branches found an abundance of
natural resources in the way of ivory,
India rubber, gums, dye stuffs, and
other articles, besides fattering
prospects that the coffee, cotton, and
tobacco plantations would ultimately
be profitable. Thus encouraged, the
company decided to go forward with
the railroad. They had no trouble
about raising in Belgium and other
countries the $5,000,000 required to
build the road. Ocean steamers can
easily reach Matadi, the starting
first mile or two OF the iron highway
has been built, and the first loco
motive has been sent to the Congo.
1t will require nearly three years to
complete the road. When it is done,
inner Africa will be within few
weeks of the capitals of Europe, and
there is no doubt that within a few
years more facilities for comfortable
travel will be extended to those VIII

had been tabled. tits hardly credi-
bic that a Legislature of farmers
should decline to protect their own
interests in the matter of sheep-rais-
ing, and surely they are not afraid
of the political vengeance of such
dog-owners as would rebel against
the imposition Of dog, tax, prohibi-
ion against their r'lnning at large,
and holding such owners responsible
for the value of sheep killed by

BORROWING AND LEDlEG.

Mr.. Loftin, of Lenoir, has FORM
ulated a plan of State relief for the
farming people.
His plan contemplates the issu-
ance of ten millions of State bonds,
the proceeds to be loaned through
the State Treasurer among the farm
ers, thus having the State aid her
own sons, instead of the United
States Treasury, as contemplated in
the sub-treasury plan.
This is bringing the matter down
to the home point, and if carried to
real test would show how far the
farming people are willing to go
down into their own pockets to help
forward the scheme of public assist
ance of industrial classes of our peo-
pie. A State bond is equivalent to
tax list, and that is Judgment,
binding upon every foot of land de-
scribed in it. It is hardly probable
that the farmers of the State would
vote to saddle upon tier lands ten
millions of bonds for money to be
loaned at large among them. Pay
day would surely come, after awhile.
The tax collector would be calling
OH them every year for money to
meet the interest on these bonds, be-
sides the interest which the borrower
must each year pay the State on the
loan.
The State, in her present credit,
could, perhaps sell ten million of
her four per cent. bonds for ni1e
millions Of cash. She would then
be compelled to charge Eve or six
per cent. for the money loaned,
which would be but slight advan-
tage over she present facilities of
borrowing from the banks and pri-
vate money>leneiers.
But it is all wrong, this idea of
creating conditions encouraging the
farmers to 90 into the business O.. bor-
rowing. A farmer should not be a
borrower of money any further than
he can help, and he should avoid all
schemes and pretexts for complieat-
ing his estate with debt. There are

The verdict of the jury in jim
Stevens case was, as might have
been expected, in favor of the defen-
dant. Mr. Kels.. the Ohio man who
was plaintiff in the case, has made no
friends here by his hasty and incon-
siderate action, and in time will re-
greet it. He appeared on the street
wearing a plug hat, although he
must have known what the result
would be. This defiance on his part
shows him to be a person of poor
judgment. Several shots were fred
at the hat, but it was bullet from
jim Ways revolver which knocked
1t into the street.

fHE IREf COINAGE flsa ADOPTED.

| Thestewart amendment, CIV
| ing free coinage to silver, was
adopted by a vote of AZ to 30.
The section of the bill authoriz-
ing the issue of 100000, 900 of
two per cent. bonds in the inter
est Of the preservation of the ma
tional banking system and the
section directing the purchase of
the 100000 ounces OF silver
held by certain New York specu-
latOrs were struck out.
There was a discussion before
the vote on the bill. and the lead
ing amendment was taken, on
the question whether Democrats
or Republicans We're to be held
responsible for the silver legisla-
ton of the present session. The
conclusion reached was that the
responsibility, such as it is, must
rest upon the party in control al
the Capitol and at the White
House. The finance committees
bill had been framed by the Re-
publican members of the commit
tee without consulting their DEM
ocratic colleagues.
The measure was intended for
political effect, and beyond ques-
ton it was as full of politics as
an egg is full of meat. Looking
at the politics of it, the Demo-
Gratis, it appears, thought it bet
ter politics to vote with the mod
crate faction of Western Republi-
cans than with the bitter section
alists of New England and the
Middle States. All the Democrats,
in fact, voted for the Stewart
amendmentexcept Senator Gray,
Mcpherson and Wilson, of Mary
land, whose strongly conserva-
tive views in matters of finance
restrained them from looking at
the matter from the point of view
of politics"
The elimination of the bond
scheme and the scheme for the
lump purchase Of 100000
ounces of silver greatly improved
the bill. Alta late hour Wednes-
day night the Senate passed a
free coinage bill. pure and simple,
as substitute for the financial
bill. What will become of it
when it reaches the House re-
mains to be seen.
Speaker Reed will, it is feared
may try to obstruct it's passage.
Should he fail to prevent a vote
on it in the House it will proba-
bly, go to the President for his
signature. The President is said
to have given out intimations
that he will veto the bill if it
comes before him. If he does
some interesting political conse-
Quences must ensue.

Henry Clews & Co. in their
special review for last week say:
Naturally, after two successive
weeks of important advance in
the prices of securities, we have
a general downward reaction.
One motive for selling was that
holders preferred to pocket theiI.
handsome profits on the rise;
another, as the Western Railroad
Association had completed its
agreements and organization.
no further advantage to prices
could be expected from that
cause; another, that London has
shown some disposition to un-
load stocks upon New York, and
that the Bank of England did not
further lower its rate of discount
on Thursday as was expected :;
another, that dealers usually ad-
wise the realizing Of profits after
agood advance; and yet another,
that the excitement attending
the termination of the Sugar
Trust receivership has subsidized.
The market has thus safely ac-
complished one well-sustained
upward bound and, allowing
for the REACTION OF the past week,
prices have made an apparently
solid recovery of z to s points
from the figures at tire beginning
of December. Such an extent of
recovery, within such a brief
period and SO soon after the
crisis, is more than has been gen
orally expected; in fact the mar
ket is no longer regarded as a
feeble and manned one, bnt as
buoyant with a steady conf
dence and prepared to respond
readily to any influences calcula-
ted to affect values. 1t becomes
more and more apparent that

sient sympathetic shock than

it's indirect effects are likely to be
soon succeeded by a healthier
confidence than existed before it's

BANCROFT AND FREMONT.

To Hon. George Bancroft, just
dead, and Gen. John c. Fremont,
a short while deceased, is the
country most indebted for the
possession of California.
Mr.. Bancroft was Secretary of
the Navy under President Polk,
and General Fremont was, in
1S46-'47, during the progress of
the Mexican war, engaged in his
explorations across the CONT
nent. Between him and Mr..
Bancroft existed a perfect under
standing and patriotiesympathy
regarding California. AS General
| Fremont was about to return
from the California coast, then
American territory, he was met
by courier from Mr.. Bancroft,
who under many difficulties had
made his way from Washi 1gton.
General Fremont thus putin pos
session of the latest advices from
Washington, going on board an
American Flag-shipat Monterey,
induced Commodore Sloat to
hoist the American flag over
Mexican soil, and take possession
of the country in the name of the
United States.
I Not four hours afterward there
sailed into port an English Ad-
miral, who said to the American
Commodore, 81 see your flag fly
ing there. | came here under or
ders to hoist the British ensign,
but am too late
Had England at that juncture
gained control of California, it
would be English territory to-
day. Mr.. Bancroft and General
Fremont both acted outside of
strict authority. Mr.. Buchanan,

sumed to accomplish through
diplomacy what the Secretary of
the Navy had found could only
be gained by strategy, and
