CITY OF BT, LoUIB. This great Southwestern Metropolis—by odds tho finest suburi of Chicago in all tho wide Norlhwest—is for the ‘Texan Pacitic. The dis- tivguivhing cbarsctoristic of Bt. Lome is its groat expectations; and its great expectations are invariably based on Government aid,—subsi- dies from the ‘Treasury. For three yeara aud a half, St. Louis lived in expectation of becoming tho National Capital. From a time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, St. Louls bas bad leas or more of a lovby here in the interent of the improvement of tuo Missia- sippi River. St. Louia always wanta tho American peopto to belp St. Louis along. Now, under ‘Tom Scottie scheme, the Atlautic & Pacitic Railrond would be 8 ‘main branch” of tho Lexas Pacific. St. “Lonis is the eastern terminus of the Atlantic & Pacific. So the in- fluence of that city 1a thrown in behalf of Col. Scott's project to plunder the Frcasury, Nor is this influence to be despined. ‘Tue wido raniifi- cutions of tho trade of acity #0 prowperous a6 St. Lous give to ita merchants and business men an extonsive scquaintance over a largo ex- pune of terntory, which, in aimtter ot this iud, can be profitably uaed. A project which hus the support of an active and able lovby uf one of the great sections of tho country, aud of one of our great cities, pos- sesses probabilitics of success in Congress wluch it wontd ba unwino to deny. Having thus quite fully ond impartially, as I trust, showa tho clementa of atreugth there aro in thia particular raid onthe Treasury, I now proceed to show that the whole project deserves only to bs pitched suaimarily out of Congress, and pitched out to atay. A WOT CLIMATE. Fora very considerable distance along tho proposed line of the ‘Texas Pacific Railrond, tho climate, for several mouths of the year, is almost uneudurably hot, For tho transportation of most freight, or of parsengers uot born esla- manders, the road would bo simply itnpracticablo during this long rainless, heated term of four or tive months. A simi poys- ical phenomenon to that hibited on portions of the Deser: of Sabars, in Africa, ia oxhitited in largo portions of Arizona, Now Mexico, on the Staked Visine, and in Southern California. It is far hotter thore than it ia ght under the Equator, aud not a drop of rain falls for wiz months. One reason of this ia to bo found io the nature of the soil, which bas great capacity of retaining boat. It is slao well known that, in the hottest porsiona of Sanara, the desert is several Lundrod fect lower than the level of the aca. Such is also the fact as to scouniderable exteot of couutry alony the line of the Southern Pacific. At several points the road will bo some 200 feet below the ocean- lovel. Now, add to these facta this otber, that tho countiy is of recent, volcanic origin, and is excoptionally near the interval fires of the cart, and you bavo plenty of reasons for a vividly Lot climste, and the ut- tor undesirability of wearing clothes, or anything excopt umbrellas. But let me surcease for amoment theee heated geucralitics to statoa few plrin facts, I havo beforo mea pamphlet entitled “ Resources of Arizona Territory.” It was pnblished in 1701 “by authority of the Legislature,” the princi- pal object of tho publication being to bring i migration tothe Territory. ‘tho pamphiet d scribes the Territory by ‘counties. lu the de- scription of Yuma County, through which tho oxus Pacitiois located, i find, under the bead o! “CLIMATE AND WEALTH,” the following wart words; ‘Che climate from June tu October is extremoly wari,—tiw ther mometer often showing in the sbudu from 115 deg. to 120 geg. of heat.” It is reason- able to suprose that they never daro to put thoir thermometers out in the sun in Yuma County. Thia county is on tho Colorado River. Enst of it, and extending to New Mexico, 1 dns County, through which also the Texas Pa- citic in located. Speaking of the ‘Climate and Health” of this county, the same pampblet gaye: * The climate of the valleys and plaina is about the samo na that of the Colorado River," —that is, 115 to 120 deg, in the shado from June to October. On other portions of the line, the thermometer hag olten touched 140 deg. in the ebado!

I refer to tha ‘TEXAS PACIFIC * CREDIT-MOBILIER." For tho building ot this railroad, there was Organized, some threo years ago, 8 Company which wad in afl respects similar to the now in- famous "Credit-Mobitier of America" which constructed so much of the Union Hacific Road. This was tho Texay Pacific Construction Compa- ny. It waa sn seeociation for tho construction of the road by tho “mng” procoss, Shares wero wold toa large number of porsons,—out- aiders being required to pay cash,—the mombers of the Directory of tho Company and conliden- tial friends getting off with promissory notes.

Fourteen or Fifteen Thousand Mill- Operatives in Distross, A Second Reduction of Wages, with the Thermometer at Zero, Leaves Them without the Means to get Fuel and Food. Deplorable Condition of Things at Fall River, Mass, ~ F Apecial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Boston, Maas, Jan. 10.—Tho Dady Advertiser hass special dinpatch from Fall River, saying that a very serious condition of things exists there, Tao great majority of 14,000 or 15,000 mill oporatives are actually unable to earn but barely enaugh to keep themselves from freezing and starving, while many heads of families see nothing immediately Lefure them bue misory, aud want, and debt. Tho reduction of wages, which averages about 11 per cent, and this too in addition to the reduction of 10 per cant at the time of tho panic, went into effect on the Ist of January. Under it the wages of tho weavers, men and women, range from &5 to $6.50 per week; of the apinnors, who aro ail able-bodied men, most of them with familics, from $9 to $11; of the esrd-grinders, men, $8.25; of the pickor-room, men, 5.40; of tho stnppers, £7; of tho fine-speeders, from $5.40 to $8.36, LEAN AND HUNGRY, The operatives aro driven almost to madness at tho prospect, and bayve, for the past fow weoks, beenon tho eve of a general strike. In fact, thera have been rumors of riot, and terrible things bovo threatened, when, in crowded meetings, such a eentiment os this laa Leen fiercely applanded: ‘Wo have taken our guns and fought for our country, and we can and will, if necessary, take our guns and fight for our families.’ DEPENSRLESS CONDITION OF THE OPERATIVES, Tho graat difficulty ix that the oporatives are not orgauizod, ‘They havo no union and nogen- eral fund, while many havo no private bank- accotnt whatever. Auong the spinrers only, who number about 1,200, there 1s astrong Union. Thereforo it is that the coolest and clearoat- headed among tho hands havo continually urged against the strike, knowing that it would be im- possible to carry it out successfully, and ave in- sisted that the Union which has already been formed among the weavers should include all of them before a strike is made. Thoy carrica their point ata large maga meoting held last evening, it being voted not to etrike, with the understanding that the funds of the Union shall bo incroased by weekly subscriptions, and, in the spring, if matters are not righted, that o vaca- ton be then taken. But now anothor sot of oporatives, THE SLASIENS, havo stepped into the controversy, By the re- duction thoy wero cut down to 81.95 par day. They asked for $2.01, which amount being re- fnwed thom, they utruck and woro upon the treet yesterday. These slashers, who woro all meu, Kad of whom there are only about 109 in the city, held important snd responsible post- tions, and they claim that their stopping work will stop the mills, On the othor baud, tho manufactarors expect to supply their places without ditticutty. succtxcr. The case war putin thie way, at the mecting of weavers on Saturday night : “Tho manofac- turerw expect to make slashers out of woavers ; but if thev do they will make them out of scoun- rela." The idea wan seized in an ietant by tho audionce, and they responded to the speakor's ap- poslto them to support tho slashers by loud oheera of approval, so that it may traus- pire on Monday morning thut there aro no weavers uor others whom the manu- facturers can find to supply tho vacant ploces. There is » strong Union among tho strikers, aud most of them having received com- paratively good wages, have individually groster or logs suas deposited in the banus. The funds ofthe Union will bo devoted strictly to tho re- lief of extreme casos of destitution, and Jasting resistance can be madoif necessary. Is will be anoticoablo fact that in the mills, whose agents are not active members of the Loard of Trade tho eloshers will continue work. In ail auch cases tho demand for $2.01 per day has been nccoded to; showing—what tne opora- tives arguo—that olf tho manufacturers could afford, if they ouly wanted to, to pay the amount auked for, TRE OTHER SIDE, ‘Tho reeult of this movemout which will do- velop on Mondav wiilbo waited for with iuterest. Several of the loading manufsccnrers here, in convoruation with your corresponduut, expressed sincere regrota at the neccesicy ‘which has foreed them to make the reduction, bocsuas of ita dire offects upon the operatives.

Rumor is very usy anstworing it, audit is common talk that there has boen too much specniation, and that many of the now mills are carrying a tremendous load of uoproductive real estate, aa high in soma cases a8 $100,000. Largo sums of mouoy, it is said, have been borrowed to start onterpriacy concelved in the excitemont attouding the rapid advance in tho wealth of tha city made two years ago. Interest must bo pridevenif tho operativos atarve, ood it ia obtimated in some canes that, if tho operatives worked for nothing, there would not be more than sufliciout profit to aquare the interest accounts and pay apy- thing like a dividend. It seomr, —thore- fore, that beth tho mannfacturors and the operatives have reached tho very bottom at which thoy can exist, and it is wot povsibls to Predict what tho results will be, untoss somo vhayge for the bettor speadily arises.
