Waiting For the latks to Fall.
TYtm the If, T. Tribunr.
There ia a proverb tbat "when the f-ky alls
We shall catch larks." From the anxiety of
lua Demooratlo politicians to have a quarrel
between General Grant ami the Republican
party, we should imagine them to be hope-
fully waiting upon the skies. The clouds of
evil rumors that darken the Washington uni
verse, only preaage the l)einocratio ;storm.
General Grant does not truHtthe Urnblioani t
He will not talk to their statesmeu I lie spends
LU time in diotatiog "conversations" to cor
respondents of the World, assailing the lead
ing members of the Republican party, and
eulogizing MoClellan 1 He floats over Congress
as .a ghostly Nemesis, and like tbat fabled
daughter of Night, bis mission is to see
that the Republican party is not too happy
in ita triumphs 1 The General has actually
dined with Mr. Seward, and finds it
impossible to escape from the fascina
tions Of Mr. Evarts I Ergo-TAt. Seward
will be the new Premier, and Mr. Itvarts will
teach the General law as glibly as he teaches
it now to Mr. Johnson I General Cutler means
mischief else why his motion to repeal the
Civil Tenure-of-OlHce bill f That World "cor
respondent" has found a reason. Batler
means to impeach Grant t He can "trust"
the Senate, and he hopes to see the General
'flop over," and that the new President may
more effeotually "flop," Batler will remove
all obstaoles from his path I Then Stanton
liates the General I If that is doubted here
are eertain "orders" devilishly contrived by
Btanton to destroy Grant when he was on the
eve of capturing Vicksburg. To be sure,
Btanton never gave any such orders t That
makes no difference. Grant means to have
revenge J The sky Is really falling and the
Pemoorats will rejoice in a multitude of larks I
if Lemooraoy wants anything now it is a
good supply of larks. Read the sorrowful
announcement that comes from Albany:
'Governor Iloffuian has so maoy applications
for the office of notary publio that he cannot
even answer their letters. lie cannot appoint
one in thirty." Over in Jersey one poor
Senator has been found. This is really all 1
To expeot the mighty Democracy to be content
with attesting bills of sale and carrying around
protested notes is cruel. Yet there seems to
fe nothing more left ! All the tuneful larks
are flying joyously to the Uepublioan mea
dows. Mr. Excisemen Siny the looks wistfully
for the lark that "tirra-lfrra chants," but
gives no note of Eussia, while the naval office
that seemed to come to Mr. Deen "more tunea
ble than lark to shepherd's ear" has
soared into the misty skies.
We read of "merry larks" being "plough
men's clocks," but no sound comes to
jMr. Perry Fuller, or the new "Minister to
Constantinople." We fear it. is their lark
"who sings so out of tune, straining harsh
disoords and nnpleuing sharps." And when
we contemplate the horrible deoision of the
Senate to confirm no more of Mr. Johnson's
nominations, we have no doubt the expeotant
Democrats conolude that the 4 'lark and loathed
toad change eyes," and that even as it grows
'more light and light" to the party of free
dom, their woes become "more dark and
dark." These larks have not only poetry
but substantial prose. Their absence takes
from Demooracy many a dainty dish. The
renowned Charles Elnie Francatelli, who did
the cookery for the Uuen, discloses to us
maoy toothsome properties in larks. There
is the lark d la minute, which with mushrooms
and lemon-juice is delicious. Then we have
the lark A la chipolotu, not to speak of the lark
with fine herbs, and the lark with truffles,
after the manner of the Italians. So when
these Republican skies fall there will be pro
digious singing and eating.
But will the skies fall t This is now the
harrowing question. Every Democrat but
Mr. Stockton, of New Jersey and the small
tribe of notaries sent by Mr. Hoffman to patter
along Wall street after anxious debtors every
larK-ioving Democrat in tne land as&a this
question. If Mr. Seymour had been elected,
and the larks had been as plenty as crows or
mosquitos, there still would have been a
famine, for Democratic necessities are great.
Seymour was not elected, and now if the skies
will only come down ! There must be some
way of convincing Grant that his interests lie
with the Democracy. To be sure, he was a
drunkard and a liar and a traitor and a
butcher, and a frightfully inoompetent nobody
whose intellect never soared above the stable,
but that was when Mr. Seymour seemed about
to be Jupiter, King of the Heavens. Grant
must feel that the only men he can trust are
the men who endeavored to make him in
famous, lie will soon be called upon to
appoint a "General" of the Army. Could
be find a more proper commander than the dis
tinguished officer who wrote so many letters
to the World to show that he was a mere
military butcher? He is expected to select a
Cabinet. Could he do better than name the
whole Blair family, probably the most lark
adoring family in these broad Uuited States
or Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who has had so many
opportunies of learning how Mr. Franoatelli
cooked the lark with trollies, after the manner
of the Italians. There is the renowned Pome
roy, the Buzzard of the 1-aat, whose meeting
with Pendleton, the Young Eagle of the West,
at the oelebrated Buzzard's Roost on Fifteenth
Street, was so brilliantly commemorated by the
Democratic leaders of New York t These are
the men whom General Grant should trust.
Andrew Johnson believed them, and see how
nobly they repaid his confilence. Only let the
aklea come down as they did under the Second
Jackson, and Grant may expeot to see himself
gazetted as Jackson No. HI, with a new Phila
elphia Convention called in his honor, and
Couoh and Orr making a new entrance, fol
lowed by the celebrated wagon-lead of rioh
men and Doolittle and Raymond and Randall
in tears and no speeches delivered and
finally an enthusiastic Democratic Conven

7 MlKKAurl Case In Congress.
r, m (a 0 r
? rfcu Congress have set the seal
vyv v iB the case of the eon-
w.v fjmtu Missouri district, ly
Yoting an allowance of "a year's pay" to Mr. I
Swltzler, the lawfully-elected member whom, I
in the faoe of two reports of the House Com
mittee on Elections, they have refused to
admit to his seat.
Snch a vote as this is simply a oonfession
that thoRe who proposed and passed it know
themselves to have perpetrated an outrage
npon the person in whose behalf it is made.
But the reparation is as rascally as the wrong.
By what authority do these men vote away
five thousand dollars of the people's money to
a person whom they have prouounoed to have
no right to it? Mr, Switzler's seat in Congress
was not a piece of property for the loss or
which by theft he is entitled to a compensa
tion from the thieves, which oompensat on
the eaid thieves can give him only by stealing
it for the purpose from the people at large t
A Beat in Congress " tr8t- T,? hU
truiit from the person to whom it had been
delegated by the people, and give it to a per
son to whom it had not been delegated by th.3
people, is an outrage not only upon Mr.
Swltzler, but npon the people. And it is but
an aggravation of the worst features of the
outrage to offer Mr. Switzler, at the expense
of the people who have been insulted and in
jured throngh him, the salary which he has
not been permitted to earn.
It really would seem that there is no viola
lion of common decency, honesty, and justice
so extravagant and so impudent that it may
not be perpetrated at Washington without
exciting, we will not say the indignation, but
the attention even of the public.
L'otf to Save (Jul to a Number t Millions
of Dollars
From the X. Y. Time$.
We see no present use, and we can see no
prospective use, of a regular army of forty-five
thousand men, costing forty-three millions of
dollars per annum.
The Army Appropriation bill, which was
reported to the House ou Thursday, was made
the speoial order for Monday next; and in the
meantime Congress has been receiving testi
mony and obtaining information on the sub
ject from army officers and other parties.
WT. 1. I. -i 1 1 I J! a . t i ,.
it a uupo ti win uo uiBcuaaeu luiiy, lairiy, dis
passionately, and intelligeutly.
If it be found that the state of the country
rf quires the people to support a large and
costly military establishment, then ot course
the argument 's ended, and we shall accept
the situation as cheerfully as possible, not
withstanding the bad condition-of the finances
and the severe burden of taxation.
But if it be found that, without injury to
the publio peace or the publio interests, the
army can be reduced by fifteen thousand men,
or by ten thousand, or by five thousand, or
by a single regiment of soldiers, then we
urge Congress to make the reduction as soon
as possible, and thus save the iuduatry of the
country from so many millions of dollars of
taxation.
When Congress proposed to reduce the
army, in the early part of last year, General
Grant asked that no steps might be taken at
that time in that diiection, and offered to
take such steps towards reduction as were
authorized by the existing law. Congress
acceded to the desire of Grant, who forthwith
proceeded to diminish and retrench as far aa
was then feasible.
Grant did not desire the army to be sud
denly and largely cut down at that date for
two reasons: Firstly, an important campaign
against the Indians was projected for the fall
and winter season; and secondly, the South
ern States were agitated by the revolutionary
utterances of Blair and Hampton, by the de
monstrations of the Ku-klux, and by the
prospect of a revival of the "Lost Cause"
through the election of Seymour.
There is an entire change now in both of
these particulars. The winter campaign
against the Indians has been successfully
closed, and General Sheridan himself reports
the assurance of a permanent peace. Peace
and order prevail in all the Southern Stat63
if we except the local disturbances in Tennes
see and Arkansas, which aro controlled by ths
civil authorities and militia of these States
and in Texas, where a small military force
will doubtless be required for some time. So far,
therefore, as the arguments against reduction
last spring are concerned, they do not now
apply, and cannot be urged with any show of
reason.
We know that under the practical policy
now being carried out by General Grant, the
army is being reduced by the stoppage of en
listments; and we know that, in any event, it
will number several thousand fewer men at
the close of the year than it now numbers
Uut still we agree witn several of tne leading
officers of the army in believing that, besides
this, there might be a peremptory reduction
of ten or fifteen thousand men, which would
save some eight or ten millions of dollars to
the Treasury and the people. And we know
that in the present state of things Congress
cannot auora to overlook sucn a retrenchment.
Fx-President Johnson.
From the X. Y. Timet.
It seems to be generally understood that
Air. Jonnson Has no thought, on retiring from
the Presidency, of subsiding into the inac
tivity and insignificance of ex-Presidents
Pierce and Fillmore, but that he will rather
imitate tne example of John Qiincy Adams,
and plunge again into active political strife.
lne papers ot iennessee regard it as certain
that he will be a candidate for Governor, and
probably for the United States Senate on the
expiration of Mr. Fowler's term: but it is
suggested that he may prefer to run for Con
grebe. It seems to be deemed quite certain that
he will plunge at once, as a candidate for
something, into the thickest of the fight, and
his characteristic pugnacity and the ability he
has always shown in this direction render it
quite certain that any tight in which he is
engaged will be a hot one. As a matter of
course he will be an ont-and-out Democrat.
though he will probably take the liberty of
ergratting a few prtmilph s of his own upon
the party creed. That part of his late mes
sage relating to tne national debt was doubt
less Intended quite as much for future politi
cal operations as for the action of Congress.
Mr. Johnson says very freely to all who talk
with him about it, that his views are certain
to become popular, ud thtt four years hence
there will be no party iu the country in favor
okaying the debt in any other way than that
which he has euggested.
. All Mr. JoLdhou's political positions and
prominence were won by hard fighting, not
only against the opposite political party, but
generally by an equally vigorous and deter
mined contest against the leaders of his own.
Those leaders we,re the champions and special
defenders of slavery, and looked upon him as
a representative ot the class of poor and
aspiring whites. They felt it to be, therefore,
for their interest to keep him nnder politi
cally; but he always made fight, and gene
rally with Bucoees. He always claimed to ba
the special champion of the rights of labor
and the special enemy of the aristocratic
classes. He had just the qualities for a suo
ceetful demagogue, and will probably renew
his old contests in his own State, with a good
many advantages derived from enlarged power
and experience in political affairs. lie clearly
Las no intention to stagnate after he oeases to
Le President, nor will anything else in his
political neighborhood.
The Worms In the War Department.
grvmtheX. T. World.
A clover English" Journalist Borne time ago
drew a most formidable piotnre of the om
nivorous appetite and the indiscriminate de
gtractivenees of the common domestic oat, as
illustrated by the devastations which, even in
the best regulated households, are habitually
and snocesefully charged to tbe aocount of
Grimalkin. The cat oonsumes with an equal
avidity whole jars of raspberry jam and whole
bottles of olives, drinks Burgundy and beer,
tears np choice literature for his mirth, and
make gifts of oostly laoe and glittering
diamonds to the tender object of his most mu
sical, most melanoholy passion.
What the cat is, both in and out of the cup
board, the wortna, we are uouQlent, will one
day be fonnd to have been iu the War Depart
ment. When that unhappy one yet unborn,
the "future historian of the civil war," by the
permission of his Majesty's War Minister, or
of the Committee for War of their Mighti
nesses the Supreme Congress, or of whatever
functionary may, in that far-off time to be,
contiolthe military archives of the nation,
shall enter in to examine the legends of the
age of Grant and Llnoolu by the help of
documenty evidenoe, he will surely find that
the worms of Washiugton have male almost
as much havoo with reports, instruction?,
general orders, and the rest, as the piscatorial
monks of Mount Athos with those ancient
and priceless manuscripts of their multitudi
nous convents which they discovered to be an
excellent kind of bait for turbot. But with a
difference. The monks, with all their misogy
nism and their orthodoxy, were no bigots in
the way of bait. They out up
Arian vellum and Athanasian parch
ment with equal shears, seeking only
the eventual turbot, and thinking nothing
of what they might be saving in the way of
arguments for heresy or losing from the
armory of the true faith. Tne War Depart
ment worms, on the contrary, will be found,
we venture to say, to have been "trooly-loil"
worms. Their intelligence will amaz the
naturalists as much as their aotlvity will
aggravate the historians of the future. It
will appear that their appetite for official re
cords was guided and controlled by a strict
devotion to the renown of the radical leaders
and the fame of the "almost divine Stanton."
In fact, this is already, in our own time, be
ginning to be suspected of these remarkable
"creeping things." The World long ago
pointed out the extreme probability that
nothing but a "new broom" vigorously
used in the department could guaran
tee the preservation intact of the
national military records. When Pre
sident Johnson endeavored to supply
some such guarantee, he was instantly assailed
by the whole radical faction and foroed to fore
go his purpose. And now comes General
Banks and pretty clearly intimates that the
mischief has been done. In an artiole under
stood to have been "inspired" if not written
by General Banks, which appeared the other
day In the Boston T rurrller, it is hiuted, with
a quite Hibernian directness that "Mr. Stan
ton took advantage of his position as Secretary
of War to destroy important publio docu
ments, and especially those which might pre
vent his own political preferment." "Mr.
Stanton?" Not at all I It is the worms that
have done the work; the worms of which
Senator Sumner forgot the gluteu and the
creed when he was at the' superfluous pains
of adjuring them to "stick," as much as Pre
sident Jobnson forgot tne instincts and the
tastes when he vainly hoped that self-respect
and decency would act upon them a3 a ver
mifuge. -

Besides a donation from the Government of 11 80
acres of land per mile, the Company Is entitled to a
subsidy In United Stairs Bonds on Its Hne a, com.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AT PAR.
By 1 s charter, the Company Is permitted to Issse
ItscwoFIRKT MORTUA9K BONDS le the same
amount as tbe Oovernmont Bonds, AMD NO MOBS'
These Bonds are a First Mortgage npon the entire
road and all lis equipments.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT
SIX PES CKNT., and both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
tag
PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Buch securities are generally valuable In proportion
to tbe length of time they bave to run. Tbe longest
sis percent, gold Interest bonds ot tbe Untied States
(tbe'8;s) will be due In 12 years, and tbey are worth
112. If they had so yea' s to run, tbey would stand
at not less than 12$. A perfectly safe First Mortgage
Bond like tbeUnlon Pacific should approach this rate.
Tbe demand for European Investment Is already
considerable, and on the completion of tbe work wUl
doubtless carry the prloe to a large premium.
SECURITY OF THE DONDS.
It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage
of t26,(00 per mile uuon what for a long time must be
tbe only railroad connecllug the Atlantlo and Paolfio
States is rsBi'Ki.TLY bkci'bk. The entire amount
of tbe mortgage will be about t3u,ooo,fi00, and the
Interest 8W,( 00 per annum in gold. The present
currency cost of this Interest is less than t2,coo,000 per
ancum, while ths gross earnings of the year lues
FROM WAY BU31NK33 only, on AN AVKRAfJg
OF LKB8 THAN 700 MILES OF BO AO IN OPERA
TION, WERE MOKE THAN
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

This large amount la only an Indication of the im

few months, when tue gieat tide cf Pa.lilo coast
travel and trade will begin. It Is estimated that this
business must make tbe earnings of tbe road from
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.

tits who desire to Invest In them will find it for tbelr
