bince fixing the beat location for the line. The part confirms this miserable engineer- » and at the same time savors of another vaid upon the public purse to complete the road in such a manner that it will be of some use to the country. Mr. Howard says the two companies are already running their roads past each other, and that we are liable to have a lawsuit which will deprive us of our through railroad to San Francisco for another year. Is there no method of stopping this Outrage on the public of the United States? Is there no Senator bold enough ‘to offer a resolution calling for a thorough investigation into the affairs of both these Companies? If there is none the coun- Yry will hold the United States Congress re- ‘aponsible for all the corruption with reference Nes the Pacific railroads recently brought to light. ‘Numerous railroad lines, irrespective of com- mon sense, are cutting up our Western terri- tory—poorly built, badly directed and run- ing wild in any direction that the whims of e directors may indicate or their land specu- lations demand. We ought to adopt the \Fronch system, where every projected rail- ‘road line is submitted to the approval of the general government before it can be built. ‘The route adopted would then tend to the de- ‘velopment of general national interests instead jot the petty local ones which now make and control railway enterprises. Who in Congress leg speak and represent the interests of the ‘country in two thousand millions of dellars in- vested in railroads ? Secoater Sprague and the Republican ProseSigns of Alarm. The republican jouraals are very much per- \plexed and somewhat alarmed by the late jpungent, independent, outspoken views of {Senator Sprague on the political and social ‘corruptions and demoralizations of the day, ‘and on the dangers thus threatening the coun- try. Nor is this party perplexity surprising. ‘According to the dogmas of party—this party ‘or that party—the opinions of Mr. Sprague are rank heresies« But they are working in many minds. In truth, the great body of our ‘thinking people are revolving the question— “Ig there any hope of a reformation of tho existing abuses, political and moral, frightful as they are, short of a complete overthrow of the political parties and party principles of the day.” Then these other questions are sug- Gested: Where is this general reform to "begin? What evils shall it undertake to remedy? Where are the materials and the means for a new and independent party or- Ganization? Who will lead off, and who will follow, when the party in power have all the spoils and tho party out of power are as stupid as the Bourbons in learning nothing ? We cannot answer these inquiries just yet; but the public mind is not satisfied with things as they are, nor with things as they promise to be under the new administration. Senator Sprague is aware of this, and has been giving voice to his convictions, One thing is cer- tain, too, that things as they are cannot last much longer. From all the signs of the times— socia!, moral, religious and political—we shall have a tremendous political upheaval and revo- lution in or before the year of grace 1872. Bolivia and the Trade of the Amazon. We publish elsewhere an interesting paper upon Bolivia, a country whose resources are but little known in the United States, but whose valley of the Amazon produces every- thing rare and valuable for the use of man. We have often stated that our neglect of South America costs us in political and material prosperity a large amount annually. We seek in China and the Indian Ocean openings for our enterprise, while at our doors lie twenty- five millions of people, each one consuming gine dollars of imports annually, of which our British commercial rivals furnish nearly one-half, Their exports to South America for 1867 were £16,630,230. Of this Brazil took £5,694.557. The exports to the mouth of the Amazon, which are here included, help make up this enormous and growing trade with Brazi', The aticmis once made by our Staie Depuriment to open the way to this com- merce appear to have ceased entirely. Now that Brazil has wisely decreed the freedom of navigation of her great river we leave its vast resources to be absorbed by the maritime na- tions of Europe. Both England and France are wise enough to recognize that the Ama- gon vaile¥ is twice the size of the Mississippi valley and already contains a large, indus- trious and productive population. Bolivia alone of the eastern Andean slope should not furnish less than twenty millions of her rare producis annually to enrich the exports from the Amazon. From the rapidly growing trade of oriental Peru and the budding fluvial com- merce of Keuador and Colombia, it is not un- reasonable to expect that the great valley of the world will, in the next ten years, take a atride onward that will compare favorably with the rapid progress which we have made in our own Mississippi basin. “Much, however, de- pends upon the wisdom of Brazil in shaping its future. The present liberal laws relative to the navigation of the Amazon may be made still More liberal. Of the five great countries at its hpadwaters not one cau receive a ton of im- ‘ports or exports without Brazil, both directly and indirectly, receiving some benefit, This will (end to build up cities and trade centres throughout the whole lower valley, and, as the article to which we have referred says, cause Para to become one of the z*eat cities of the world, It is, therefore, cloarly to tic lulerests of Brazil to aid, in every manner possible, the opening of the countrios upon the eastern Andean slope. The Mississippi, the Amazon and the Plata fre the great basins of the world. Upon their material and political development depends much of the future prosperity of this Continent, and upon the part that the United States plays in assisting this development will depend much of our influence in the world. A WOMAN BRUTALLY ASSAULTED. Last evening, about six o'clock, Catharine Tarner, an Irish woman, thirty-four years of age, living at No, 80 Mott street, became involved im an altercati No. 86 Vark street with one James ‘lark, who holds forth at No.7 Elizabeth street.

Boston, April 6, 1869, Wendell Phillips to-day addressed the Legislative Committee appointed to investigate the subject of the hours of labor. He estimated the earnings of the laboring class in this country at nearly $2,000,000,000 annually, and thought that fact de- manded the attention of iegisiation to their interest, He deprecated the tendency, especially evident since the war, of the legislation of the rich and the poor as independent classes. The rich growing richer and the poor poorer. The tendency 1s for the children of the rich to be separately educated and the great matual benefit of tueir contact with the poor 18 lost, and with it also the interest of the rich in the public schools, When the time comes in this coun- try that a permanent iaboring class éxists the kno! of republican toatitutions has been sounded. A great problem of american statesmanship ts to make corpo- rations consistent with Amerioan institutions. The great question of the future is co-operation, to which we must come sooner or later. The question of eight hours he considered as a siepping stone to a better condition than the laboring class now has. Mr. Phillips spoke of the “Trades Union,’? not defending them, but claiming that they were the only means of self: govootion the laboring ciasses nave, ‘re where 6, slem i indefencible, except upon that ground, He was {a favor of a commission, but feared a satisfactory one could not be obtained, Girls who came before the go:mmission last year aud gave their evidence lost their places of work when they retured on account of it,’ He did nov oxpeet the rights of the laboring people would be secured unul the repubitcan party wok hold of it, which would be wien the power of the working men is put at the ballot box. <A feeling must be created that there 18 no rignt by which men Shall be worked up to make cotton cheaper, failing in haying @ proper commission, he would have an odicer appointed a3 an inspector or commissioner of labor, with @ good salary, who would have the ower to require exhibits from corporations that all lawsin regard to labor have Déen observed and with power to compel their observance, He wanted the same officer to collect information in regard to the annual average hours of actual labor each day, deducting absence irom sickness, &c., rates of wages, rents, pricea of provisions, some estimate of the social and comfortable condition of tie laboring classes, and, in short, all matiers relating to them. Such a step he also considered merely a temporary one, The great remedy is yet to come when the bal- lot is placed in the hands of the lavoring classes. TELEGRAPHIC. NEWS ITEMS.

Last evening, about five o'clock, the schooner yacht Meteor, owned by Mr. George Lorillard, was launched from the builders’ shipyard, Messra. C. & R. Poillon, foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn. It can be termed a pleasant success, as, all the prepara- tions being in readiness and the word given, she moved easily and prettily from the ways, entering the water with a graceful dash, without the least hinderance. The absence of any confusion or accident Was the subject of pleasant allusion among a number Of spectators who cluster about a shipyard upon Occasions of this character. This concourse was not jinmense, but among them were many old “chips,” veterans in bulding like veasels, seafaring men, ordinary and extraordinary yachtmen, constituting, at loast in the matter of spectators, a spectacle of ine terest. ‘The bapusmal rites were graciously per- formed by a gentieman well known i ply y a gi owoin the yachting ‘The dimensions of the Metcor and the materials of her construction, with other potnts of note, are subjoined:—Length on deck, 129 feet; length over all, 130 feet; breadth of bea feet; depth of hold, 9 feet 9 inches; tonnage (carpenter's mea- surement), about 300 tons, Her keel has a depth of 3 feet amidships, and her draught of water will be 10 feet 6 inches. Her hull is built of white oak, locust and hackmatack, which is fastened below the water line with copper bolts and treenalis and above by galvanized iron. She probably contains more timber than any yacht of her size having the matter of speed in View—than has ever been constructed In these waters, She is “boomed”? kneed, and every beam has hanging knees, while from her deck are stanchions w every frame. ‘the Spars of this yacht are very heavy, but ‘good look- lug sticks,” the foremast being 88 feet ana the ma: mast 90 feet, ‘Te main boorn 13 74 feet in length, the fore boom 32 feet, and the bowsprit 23 feet ouiboard, ‘The rake of the masts are of 14 feet, and they are placed, the foremasc 40 feet from the stem, the main 47 fect from the stern, and apart 34 feet. ‘The model of this vessel possesses lines that de- note, in the minds of those who are assumed to be authority upon the subject, speed and durability— these results being sought for in her construction and hoped to be attained by her modeiler, Mr. Robert lish. Certainly her hull from stem to stern is very different from yachts of her size, and no lover of the success of creditable boat-bullding in thia country will hope for aught else than that she may command respect and admiration wherever her white canvas is seen. The accommodations of the Meteor wiil be exten- sive and luxurious, there being two cabins, one amidships, quile large, and one aft, and a private saloon. The companion way will be forward, and the staterooms, of the size and nature adapted to @ pleasure boat of her dimensions, being ample and pleasant. On deck this yacht is very roomy, aft particularly, and the manner in which space has been econo- mized, will make her a pleasant boat in which to cruise, It is the design of her owner, or so intimated, that she shall visit Surope the coming season, in com- pany or start afterwards, with the Dauntiess and Sappho, to indulge in a little tilt with our English brethren, and thence sail up the Mediterranean, where she certainly will command attention by her great beauty, OBITUARY. Baron Henri Jomini. Our European exchanges mention. the recent death of this well-known general and historian in the ninety-first year of his age. He was born in Switzerland, at Payerne, in the canton of Vaud, on the 6th of March, 1779. While a mere youth he served in one of tie Swiss regiments attached to the French army, and upon its disbandment engaged in trade, at the same time holding the rank of lieu- tenant colonel in the Swiss militia, Soon after reaching his twenty-fifth year he returned to France, in the military service of which he entered, obtain- ing the position of Chef de Bataitlon, and in 1806 was promoted to a colonelcy. Previous to this, how- ever, he had, while pursuing commercial operations, given much thought to and carefully studied the art of war. The results of his labors were given to the pubuc in 1803, ina work entitled “Traité des Grandes Opérations Militairos.” In 1806 he pub- shed huis ‘Mémoire sur les Probabilités de la Guerre de Prusse,"’ which 89 pleased Napoleon that, in con- sideration of it, added to his other services to France, Jomint was endowed with the title of baron. Two years later he aecompanied Marshal Ney into Spain, but took no part in the stirring events of the time, owing to an ill-feeling wnich existed between lim and the great Frenchman. In sli he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, al the same time being made historiograpber of France, which office was re-established especially for ht During 1812 the deceased was Governor of Wilna, and soon after lost the favor of the Emperor; for Ney, having proposed Brigadier Jomini for pro- motion to the grade of general of division, Napoleon refused to coufer the position upon him, but subse- queatiy ordered him to return to France, if notin actual disgrace, at any rate with the knowledge that he had offended his imperial master. The Baron never forgave what he deemed an insult to his honor and a reflection upon his military skill, Soon after the armistice of Plesnita he left the French army and entered the service of the Emperor of Russia, who appointed him his aid-de-camp, with the rank of licutenant general. it is but justice to state that accounts differ as to the reasons witch ac- tuated this desertion of his colors, He claimed that having been dismissed irom che Freach army tn 1310 he bad offered his services to Alexander, but was prevented from serving Russia by Napo:eon, who offered him a brigadiemsnhip, with an intimation from the Minister of War that if he declined the offer he would be imprisoned. It is certain that he rendered valuable service to the Freach army during the famous retreat from Moscow, and.participated in the battle and victory of Bautzen as chief of stad for Marshai Ney. It is more than probable that tae enmity of Berthier influenced the refusal to. promote bim and the order for his return to France. But, be that as it may, he was sentenced to Geath as @ deserter by a reach Court Martial, but, as he was never captured there was no oppor- tunity of carrying out the sentence. At one time he Was Charged with having reveaied the plans of the French to the allies; bat the accusation was proven false, even Napoleon himself exonerating Jomini trom anything like treachery, Indeed, the deceased even declined taking part in the war against France. In 1815 Baron Jomini visited Paris with the Uzar of Kussia, while there receiving the Cross of the Order of St. Louis from the Bourbon king. He also made an earnest but vain endeavor to save the life oii 4 ixtoire Critique et Militaire des Guerres de la Revolution, de 1792 to 1901," appeared in three separate editions. Returning to Russia, he served during the war against Turkey (1828), and tn 1839 estublisued the Russian Military Academy at St. Petersburg. Subsequently he re- moved to Brusseis, where he lived until the breaking out of the Crimean war, when he again returned to St. Petersvurg, but took no active part in the con- test. In 1355 Baron Jomini resu:med uis residence at the capital of Belgium. His works are numerous avd voluminous and relate entirety to war, in the theory of which he was uadoudiediy uuequaded. As a military leader, however, he cannot be said to have achieved any considerable success. art of War, as established or developed during the past ten years, Was li(tie understood and probably little ap- preciated by the deceased, at whose great age it was got unnatural that innovations upoa established rules should be regarded with disfavor.
