There are several signs of revival of railroad projects looking to connect some of the great lines from the west with New England roads by. the way of>the proposed Poughkeepsie bridge. The Massachusetts state officials have recently made tour over the line of the Pennsylvania road to learn it's facilities for handling freight; with view of finding there.a way to throw freight upon the Hoosac tunnel route inwhich the state is interested, the New York Central having failed to furnish them facilities which had been promised.

 There are various indications that the with the New England roads, so, as to enable it to compete with the New York Central for New England freight. The completion of the New York and New England road wes. from.

New Haven and Hartford road, and the New York and New England road east from this city. But this as the Boston Journal says in 8 long ar tiele on the New York and New England road, will not be such a connection as will de- velop large export business from Boston, object desired can no doubt be best attained by pushing existing and contemplated lines through from harrisburg, Pa, to the Pough- keepsie bridge and the completion of the bridge, The connection can be made on the west side by building few miles ofnew road and the purchase of old ones soon to be dis posed of There are various rumors concern ing the desires and plans of the Pennsylvania road. The extension of the New York and New England road through to Poughkeepsie, and the already existing line to That place via the Connecticut Western road, will furnish facilities for sending freight to Boston and all over New England whenever the wester con, necton is made and the bridge completed. From the Poughkeepsie bridge it will not be hard matter to make a connection porthward with the Housac tunnel route, and it is plain that there is an easy way to send western products and coal into New England direct, without depending so largely upon the bridge at Albany and the lines leading to tide water. There is good reason to expect some import ant changes in railroad traffic between New England and the west within the next ten years.

1t will be observed that on an increased
valuation of property our taxes have not ma
terially increased, while the rate of taxation
has been decreased nearly mill on the dol

are none too low. Nowhere in the State are
there legitimate calls upon the taxpayers
more pressing than in Ramsey county, and
yet here the rate of taxation is less than
thirteen mills. Every public improvement
undertaken here is prosecuted under peculiar
disadvantages. Our sewers have to be dug
for the most part through solid rock, and are
of necessity larger than is necessary in city
located differently, for the waterfow down
our bluffs is frequently tremendous. Cur
street grading is difficult, for limestone

with extraordinary cost, and yet, with all

The Democratic managers in this
State and in the whole country recog-
nize this Ohio election as q decisive
action in the Presidential campaign.


The Republicans also recognized that


this election was the turning point, and
would decide whether the government
of the Nation should pass under the
yoke of the Southern Confederacy, and
the public faith, finances, currency, and
all the settlement of the issues of the
war be put into the hands of their enc
mics, and the Republic be again placed
in jeopardy by an attempt to seize the
Presidency by a revolutionary act, or,
at the best, the country torn with dis
puted election of President; or whether
the Republic should be rescued from
all these perils, and given assurance
of keeping in its course of recov.
cry and prosperity and public security.
Year: 1879

The bearing of this election being
thus conceded by the Democratic party,
which thereupon has put forth its ut
most efforts, and being thus recognized
by Republicans, we shall not abate
anything from its importance now that
it has resulted in a decisive Republican
victory. Upon these mutual admis-
sions we are warranted in regarding it
as an event of the highest importance
in the politics and prosperity of the
country. It is an event which will
give confidence to Republicans every
where, and which we believe that even
the men of business, and property, and
steady ind ustry in the Democratic party,
although bound by the fierce despotism
of their party, must think better for the
country. ~


We suppose that there is no man,
either Republican or Democrat, who
thinks this Republican revival merely
spasmodic, and that there is any ikeli-
hood of its falling back. We suppose
that both parties perceive that this is q
popular rising; that it is evidence of
what is going on all over the North,
and are convinced that the tide will
sweep on. We suppose that in both
sections it will be recognized that this
result in Ohio is proof of a popular
tide which settles the question of the
election of President. This will be ac-
cepted as q sign of rising of the peo-
pie, which, in spite of the baleful influ-
ence of a selfish resolve to make the
election of Governor of New York a
personal affair. will carry that State for
Republican principles, even if it shall
not carry Indiana.


With New York carried by the Re-
publicans, where can a Democratic can
didate look in the North for the forty
seven votes required in addition to the
solid South to elect q PRESIDENT This
will save the republic from the danger
of a disputed election of President-the
dispute raised by the body which has
usurped the power to revise the cleo
tions of State electors. This will show
to the Confederate States the futility of
supposing that Confederate politics can
subdue the Northern people. This is
the true way to bring peace to the
South. ALI Democratic gains in the
North cause a revival of barbarism in
the South. We believe that this victory
will have an important effect in restor-
ing respect for law in the South, and
that it will promote the era of business
prosperity, by giving general conf
dence in the future. Ga

The Russian gram belt south and south east of Moscow is beginning to feel the effects of the steady exporations of grain to England for two generations; the land is wearing out, and the farmers are moving to the thinly settled provinces on the Eastern steppes at rate which gives the Russian government much un- easiness. The government tax on the grain districts remains the same, in spite of the diminishing yield, and the depar- ture of the peasants follow inevitably; due in no small measure to the fact that under the pressure of a constant demand for grain from Western Europe the old system of fallow lands has been aban- doned and the land plowed year in and year out. The same result has happened in California. With the seaboard close at hand it did not pay to feed grain to cattle It was all exported, and fields which began by yielding % and % bush- els to the acre now return half that, and are never likely to give more, while the same course is continued in cultivating the new grain fields further inland.
