In the case of tho Erlo and New York Centra), with their connections; and also the Tennaytvania Railroad, it wasthe purpose to include tha principal cltles and towns that could be reached nlong tho route with the viow of cultivating loca) traffic, The Intention In the cuse of the new Continental Rond fs to build tho shortest lino between the metropolis of the sencongt and tho metropalisaf the West without regard to intermediate points, and by means of 4 doublo track and the most’ complete equipments furnish better faellitles for through travel and traflle than have been offered by the other trunk Nnes. ‘That this will bo the result isevident from the fact that tho surveyed route is 781 niles, or 128 nilles shorter than the shortest of tho existing Iines. In addition to the saving of distance, the now route will nlso have tho decided ad- Vantage ofrunning moro nearly on @ level than any other of the through railroads, It Ig atuted that tho cloyations will not exceed forty feet to the milo at any polnt, Under those conditions, and relleved from the ein- barrasament of Jocal business fo tho extent that prevails on'the othor rallroads, there is no reason why the Continental Rallway may not establish faster passenger and frolght trains than its competitors, gud do the busl- ess at a smaller cost, ‘Thero {s no information as to how this new railroad shatl effect an entrance Into Chica- go, but it will not be surprising if it come in on the Ine of the Western Indiana, ‘The Grand Trunk Railroad, which controls this route, will have no special interest in an- fagonizing the entrance of the new road Into Chiengo, as the former - does not compete for the’ New York business, Whether or rot the Wabash (Jay Gould) system hag suf- ficient intluenca.oyer tha use of the West- ern’ Indiana line ‘to interfere. with ‘such AN atravgement can hardly be detor- mined now, It fs cortnin that Chicago ought fo extond.all the ald and eucour- agement Jt can to the now project, but itis humiliating to confess that the obylous propriety aud advautage of euch a course do not prevent selfish and merdenary combinn- Yous to impede the entrance of new rail. ronds into thiselty, That fact was demon- strated {n the case of the Western Indiana, and jt is so expensive an operation to pur chuse a now rghtof-wey into Chicugo that the Continental Raliroad will undoubtedly make 8 atroug effort to avold tha fleecing and blackmailing incident to such an achievement by securing the necessary priv lege of some route alrendy !n operation. It inny be safely assumed, however, that an entrance Inta Chicago will be secured when- ever the road shall require It. ’ Tho constriction of thls new route cannot fail to be of great benefit to Chicago nut tho Northwest, ‘The addittonat facilitles it 13 to provide will not exeved the growth of tho trafic during tha noxt decade, and menn- whilo thoy will provide n remedy against tho constantly-recurting lmpetliments due to tho crowding of tracks, Inck of cnrs, and other delays on the existing trunk lines. A through double-track stecl rathway, 128 miles shorter than any other route, will guarantea greater dispatch and more safety for both travel and freight trafic, and present advantages to the public which will insuse an important part of tha business to the new route from the very day ft shall be in operation, I may bo expected that, in the absenee of Government restraint, the now road will soonor or Tater center Into a poniing arrange mentor some other combination for fxing rates antl apportioning tho business, ut it is possible that, before this road shall bo completed, Congress will have alfordei tha public some adequate National protection Against combination of nn oppressive nud discriminating character. If not, tha new rallrond must noverthetess reduce materially the power of tho other corporations to'cont- bino.upon grossly extortionnto rates: for its advantages will enable it to de so lnrge a share of through business with so much more expedition and nt so much Jess cost that the old companies will ho foreed to ne- conimodate themselves to tho new condition of things. In nny ense, therefore, the con- striction of such o rond'as hing been pro- jected is sure,to be at once a profitable enter- prise and a great public benefit. CONCILIATION WANTED, 2 The only prominent poticy of this Govern- ment during the past twelve or fifteen years seoms to have been thatof conciliation, Gen. Grant sought to coneilinte the South in his sullitary way, and failed, Then tho amlable Mr. Hayes undertook tha same job with soft words that buttered no parsnips, withdrew the Inst gun and blunderbuss from the South- ern States, and gnve the Rebels “home rule” and a seat in his Cabinet, nnd yet “concilin- thon’? fatied again, for Gen. Mancock ran for the Presidency, howling conciliation with Mis whote- Southern constituency joining lustily in the clamor. Gen, Garfield was elected withthe problem of. Southern con- ciliation staring him in the Thee, and before he gets to Washington finds himself de- sleged on all sides witha still moro voclfer- ous demand for concilittion, this time not from Southern, malcontents but from dis- etuntled Republican Bosses, It is demanded oft himthathe shall step into the political aren a8 a mediator between halfs dozen soured Bosses and bring them together in a fraternal embrace under the wing of friend- ship, loye, and truth, as Dick Swiveller would say. Moro than this, le ls uot only to pacify individuals, but he isto harmonize States, and bring all these reealeltrant elements to- gether In fond unison, a reunited and happy family, gathering them together under his wings as a hen doth her chickens, As will be seen by a _dispnich elsewhere, first, there is Gen. Grant, who must be reconetled to Mr. Blaine, because Mr. Blaine ts alleged to have said ho was alad Gen, Grant was defeated in the Chleago Convention, Consequently Gen. Grant, Ike a school-girl In a tit with her bosom friend, will not snenk to the Piumed Knight, and if Gen. Grant will not speak to tho P. K,, how Is Mx. Blaine tosperk toG. a, dn tho name of all that’s cdnyersational?, Must he not go avout like the bosom ‘friond with a haughty, dignified alr, and pretend that he has never heard any good of him {Binine)? So, of course, after reconetling Gen, Grant to Blaine, he must reconcile Blaine to Grant. But Dining, according to tho story, 1s not only mad with Gon; Grant, He has snubbed the august Boss, Conkling, and freely aimounced to his crontes that le has his opinion of him, Jn that mysterious and suggestive manner with which Sirs. Brown Inthnates thatsho might say a great deal about Mrs, Jones if she were so dis- posed, and contents herself with tha giit- tering generality that she isa horrid thing. Chis being the condition of the relations -of Blaine to Conkling, it follows that Conkltug’s relations to Biatne are not cheerful, and that ho tnkes delight in gazing upon Blulncina frigid manner and assuming an air of Inughtiness, even as tho atately strutting pencock lors it over the more plebeinn fowl! that passes him whilo he unfolds the glories of his plumage. “But it-‘Conkting don't like Binine, he likes John Sherman tess, and not only passes him in cold silence, but sneers nt him when others are around, and Indulges In that baleful Irony and sardonic speech so characteristic of him whenever anything un- pleasant occurs to him, while John Sherman passes him with a countenance as hard and sovére as one of the dollars of the fathers. So Gen, -Gariield” is confronted with tho mathemattenlly difienlt problem of recon- ‘elling Grant to Blaine, and Blaine to Conk- ng, and Conkling to Sherman, and, after he ling done that, of commencing fit the Inst and reeonelling back to the first, and, after he has done that, of commoneing Inthe middie and reconciling both ways at once, In View of this sum in -quadrilateral harmony, no wonder that Gen, Gartioll dreams. ho Js a crocodile with {chnetmons running one after the other down Into his vitals, But if this were only all!

This is an anomaly, which comes down from feudal times.

Tho effect of the prohibitions imposed by thom was not fully apprecinted In the days of wooden ships, because could bulld such ships better or cheaper than. the United States. Great Britain openly confessed this, and repented her own navigation -Inws in order to ennble her merchants to buy wooden vessels In tho United States. ‘The conditions wero soon precisely reversed. Iran repinced wood in the construction of hulls, and steum fins to a great extent done away with snils. Mr. Hall bas himself shown tho rapid inorenso of steam shipping. ‘Twenty-two years ago,when 95 per cont of Amerienn commerce wns cnt- ried in our own vessels, it was belleved that stenmors would never transport anything but mails, passengers, nnd express frelghts. Now three-fourths of our whole transoceanic traf flo is carried on in stenm vessels, nnd tho pro- portion of American tonnage is only 23 per cont. : In the meantime, Great Britain has be- come the great shipbuilding as well as ship- using nation, Owlne to perplexing and bur- donsome tariff regulations, America cannot compete with England in building tron ves- sols, Under thoso circumstances the truo policy would be that which Englaud adopied thirty years ago—namely: to nbandon for the present the competition, in ship-buflding for the suke of making thecom- potition inship-using keener anid more vigor- ous than ever. Strangely cnough, this sinple and efiiencions remedy has not been put in operation by our Government. The two grent Interests, ship-building and ship-using, which really have Mttte, tn common, have been chained together by our cast-iron navi- gation laws, and the mandate to both has been: “Survive or perish together.’ It. would bo as wise and just to tle the Industry of cotton-planting to Mr, Le Dute's harmless exporlmonts In tea-culture, or to make mill- Ing In this country absolutely dependent on tho native manufacture of grindstones.
