TIE TRANSPORTATION DILT: Tho Hon.Goorgo W. MoCrary, who pressed bis Transportation bill through the Houso of Ropro- sontntives, contrary to expootation, by 121 votes to 116, is, 1 some respeots, . man of real forco. -Ho i8 quiot, watchfnl, chory about making impu- tation or running about fooi-looee, and has frit- tored swny nono of thoss porsonal qualities which, united with capacity, accomplish rosults. Ho is s man abovo the medium sizo, in middle 1ife, with sn activo tomporament, a silent, think- ing mannor, and his simplo babits aro indicative of the agricultural typo ho roprescnts. Hohas hiad tho confldonce of Spoaker Blaine and tho re- sorved circle of members, aud the succoss of the bill ls, in groat measure, owing to himself as its promoter. Mr. Kaeson had o bill as well. To have pnesed this bill by eo formidable o voté shows that.tho regular Republican party had rosolved to go into noxt fall's Congrossional campalgn’ with somothing to brag about; and, further, that they are boing put in organization by Morton and the rest for the next Presidontial campaign, The bill itsclf is a long way ahead of any ro- sults to flow from it,—long cnough to koep up & respoctablo political susponso, and beat tho drume of soveral triumphal morchos. If the Sonato concure, thero will be a National Com- missfon to fix tolls, Then tho railroads will go to the Supreme Court and protest. Or, tho Commisaionors will form auothor ono of the grest Inquosts, and go traveling ond seking quostions about tolls. This will carry the affair into 1876, The Democratic party, as usual, is divided on tho subject,—five Demoorats having joined tho Grangor eido, despita all tho State- righta traditions of their soct. Tt {8 oasy,to bo seon, from tho, drift of this and other questions, that thore is a Bouthern Democratio minority in the Senato stoadily vot- ing for the main propositions of the platform- making Ropublicsns, The Georgis delegation is said to be notably of tho opinion that its pol- icy s to follow the Republicans,—the Northern Democrats having neither patronage nor pros- pocts, things prosent, mor things absont, nor things to como, Gordon, of Georgia—n sort of Southorn O, O, Howard, who talks tho battle- flold and tho victorios of Emanuel in the samo ‘Dbrenthi—is at tho houd of this wing, Merrimon, Goldthwaito, Whig Stevouson, and others, arc oloso by, Even Sunset Cox announcos on' the floor that he is no party man. The offect of such horesios is to threaten the extirpation of tho Domocratio party, and the New York World is bawling at tho ** ranegades,” whom it dogs not name, who supported the Mor- ton proposition for inflation. - TIE CURRENCY. The expansionists in the Bonate have nob only liftod the currency, sud oxcused the ro- insuo of $26,000,000 of logal-tender resorves in the recoss, but they aro ou the high rond to ¢ frop banking,” ‘Thus tho Aduministration has succeaded in each of the vital propositions broached by it, and succseded, also, by tho aid of the Democratic Senntors, chicfly Bouthern, although Mr. Thurman, racing Morton for tho Westorn voto, bas boen genorally incompetent or indifferent about finance, for oxpausion. NO DEMOCRACY. As a bard-money Democrat ho hos been no- whero, and he is dropping out of Y'romiummu, lit- tlo by little, showiog no tactics above light skir- mishing and _cross-examining. Even George Tondleton had somo views, and proposed several things, gpod. striking, or rovolutionary, Mr. Thurmsn, of conrae, soems toconcedo that what- over is is inovitablo, and that tho onjoyment of lionor i8 botter than to strugglo for any stand- ard, [ ‘Tho public consclonce is low; there is no political spirit, but in place of it Pauurnl cap- tiousners, which progents the small, deep volce of eornest mon from being heard, - Tho little man in the party esys 08 much s the big ono; tho big ono is moro” pestored by the little ono than lio usod to bo ; thore ja no leadership ; tho party-prass outsido s norly ostinet ; the ude- endont pross, being all against tho Administra- ion, is a sort of detached power, which neither party takes to Loart, exceptas far as next fall's elections aro concerned. The ndependent press, besido, I8 not Democratic, and doos not aim at o Bourbon restoration ; and thus thero is o choos of incentives and influences, while a fow positive, if unsnfe, mon, liko Logan, Morton, Cameron, snd Butler, decido the direotion of march in the confusion. A WITNESS, I welked up tho Avenue lest Bunday witha voung member of Congross, who has made no kpeoch, jobbed for o private bill, but merely looked on and studiod things; and he sai 4T ghall not como back to Congroes again. I am gatiafled it is not my forte. When I filled & State offica I know what I was about, and could anxa\wud some influence to follow my worls. Hore thoro is neithor placo for a statosman, a studont, nor & roformer. Things of gonoral policy are not pertisan moasurcs. While the lines uro d{n\vn one way, tho movemonts are across them. 'The ourronoy rkncsnon which fs more to the heast of the iruth, if not of the country, than any other, aud hns produced tho bost dobato I evor heerd, is made up on both sides of throo partios: Rogulas, Liberals, aud Democrats, -~ Tipton votes against Schurz, Bcott against Camoron, Allison agawst Chandlor, Gordon against Kelloy.

Tho custom of saulllufillnrgo numiiors of eggs from ono porson to anothor at Enster atill pre- +vaila fn many countries,"and is o groat feature of the observances of Eostortide in Ruesin, There is n record extant to tho efect that oue Enster- tide 400 oggs wore suppliod to the steward of the court of Edward 1. for tho uso of tha royal houschold. 'Theso eggs were to be stnined in varlous colors or covered with leaf gold, the eui bono of which it is not ensy to percoive'; but at all ovonts tho mattor so apponrs in a_momo- randum of the rocords of the 'Cower of London. Theso 400 eggs cost tho muniticent sum of ono shilling and sixponco, sand were thorofore searcoly a truly royal present; but yet it should be borno in mind that one shilling and sixponco wont furthor in {hoso days than it would now. At one time—n tolora- bly romato period—it was tho custom of the crownod heads of Europo to present ench other with Posobal or Easter cggs, by way of inter- change of amenitios. Theso oggs wore not like those of Edward 1., which cost only one sbilling and slx}wu:u for 400, but woro usunlly poid caacs of moat costly and elaborate workmanship, and contained jowels of gront value. One of those, which was the gift of a King of France, whose namo Las not come down to us, is to bo found smong & splondid collection of crown jowels at Drogden. Tho case, or egg proper, is of olid gold, but when oponod it appoars that tho intorior of tho ogg, a8 is fit and proper, is much moro valuable than tho sholl, It consists of a diamond of oxcoptional lustre and of the purest wator, and its estimated value is 250,000, A hen which would furnish suoh oggs for tho tablo would bo bottor than ho gooso which Inid tho golden eggs.
