BATOBDAY HVKN1MQ, JAN, 10, 1004.
Mr. Huntington nnd Ills Keart.
Mr. 0. P. Huntington exhibits a cred
itable faith in tlie goedue.19 of his cause
In appearing In pcrsuu Itofero tlie con
ftressienul committee te pretest hkuiiihL
the forfeltnre of tlie laud grant
te the Oregon Central railroad, running
northward through California and
Oregon. The land grant Is linble te
forfeltnre bocause of the non completion
of the read ; but Mr. Huntington de.
clarea tlmt " tliere Is ue ground, moral,
equitable or financial en which this
Jand can be taken away from us." Ife
pretests that it is the first tline he or
his associates hare asked any extension
of time from Congress, and that they
built the Central Pacific railroad en the
original aid granted by Congress,
although subsequently, in the high
prices of the war, they had te pay
enormous advances for material and
freights.
Mr. Huntington's confidence in the
posture of his position is n demonstration
of hew men may be converted te a very
ene sided view of a question by long
contemplation of it us the side en which
their Interest lies. Nene but M-. Hun
tington and his associates would ever
have thought of claiming credit for net
baying asked mere from Congress than
they received for the construction of tlie
Central Pacific railroad, in view of the
faet that the aid tliey cot paid for the
whole read, and the financial result of
their enterprise has been te put the pro
jectors among the very richest men of
the country,
Mr. Huntington has no claims for a
continuance of the Oregon Central land
grant that he might net make new for
an original grant. The time has elapsed
during which the land was te be given,
aud new conditions have arisen upon
which the expediency of It Is te be de
termined. These who had the opper
tunity te build the read and did net
enhunce It cannot complain, for they
lest it through their own neglect. The
contract between them aud the nation Is
at an end by the limitation of the time
during which it was te run.and there is no
mero reason why the nation should ex
tend the time than there would be for an
individual te de se put in it, place. He
would only extend it if it was (or his
interest. The nation should only de it if
it is for its interest. It is a business
transaction and must be ruled by busi
ness principles. Mr. Huntington, being
one of the shrewdest business men of the
country, should have seen this ; and
would if it had been anyone else's case.
He saw it clearly enough when Themas
A. Scott was asking a subsidy te build
ttie Texas Pacific read, while Huntington
himseir was proposing te build the
Southern Pacific without subsidy. Then
it ..s very clear te him that the nation
should net give Mr. seettald te de what
he would d without aid. That was a
clear business idea, which found accepta
tien In Congieis aud was acted en. Mr.
Scott did net get his subsidy. If Mr.
lluntmgteu had been as ulear in his
ideas us te the tqultUs of tlie Oregon
Central, when he appeared before the
cengressinn.il committee, lie would net
have argued that it was wrong te take
away from it tlie land grant which
It had forfeited, by showing why the
grant was fei felted, and pleading that
he had never done such a thing before,
but lie would have applied himseir te
convincing the committee that the
Oiegen Central was of such inineit.iiien
te the nation's inteiests as te call upon
it te voteit the land grant he desired.
If Mr. Huntington can persuade
Congress that it will be pie .table te the
nation te give him this land, he will
probably get It. Otherwise, as a biiii
ness man, he cannot ask for it. He is
hardly a case for national chailty.
M.utvj. m has again elected anew
senator. She eeems te have formed a
habit of chaugiug her senators at every
opportunity. Probably it is lecalise
. none of her senators of late jcais have
exhibited mero than a resectable abili
tyte fill their distinguished places, and
when the state linds ene who will shed
lustreen it.preb.ibli it will be dispened
te keep him in itu service. A state has
mere influence in the national councils
when It retains in them experienced
servants, though they be men of only
falrabiliths; but it is natural for a
state te desire tosliine in the exalted
Sonate chamber with a brilliant luniiua
ry as Its representative. Maryland has
net had this fortune since Heverdy
Jehnsen, but with tier upeateil experi
niciits nhe may hope some day te be
blessed.
Semk one writing from Cleveland sets
forth tlie relations of the Pay no family
with each ether and with tlie .Standard
Oil company, t Hhew the utter discon
nection from tills odious monopoly of
the elder Payne, senator elect from that
state. It ecejiis clear enough that Mr.
Payne is net a member nor partner in
it, and the country will be glad te have
this ahsurance hi many respects he is
meritorious and well equipped man ;
juBt as in some respects Mr. Pendleton
whom he is te succeed fell luluw the
senatorial alaudaid. It was net se much
a prefciencc between the men as it was
objection te the coarse methods et some
of Mr. Payne's friends in tlie caucus for
him that led te the wide spiead sympa
thy for Pendleton.
SOJinef the Hoimbllean iu.iv.sii.mr.ra
nre disposed te shed crocodile tears ever
what they call tlju defeat of civil Bervlce
reform in tlie failure of Mr. Pendleton
te be re-elected te the Semite. Their
simulated trrief Is characteristic hvimn
rlsy. The Democratic party is for real
net sham reform. Mr. Pendleton's da
vice was net n Democratic inensiirn: il
has tee much of n tendency te keep the

News of a dreadful disaster ivaehed
Ilnsteu about eight o'clock en Friday

City of Columbus, Ciptalu Wright, which
sailed fuun Hosteti for Savanuuh, tleergia,
at thiee o'clock en Thursday afternoon,
stiuck a icef oil Uay Head, at the south
western uxttemity of the Island of
Martha's ViiiPanl, at .'.15 a in., nnd be
came at once a total wreck. The steamer,
which was in command of Captain I,. K.
Wright, of Uosten, had successfully
threaded the dangerous pass ge between
Mouetuy Point, at a southern end of Cape
Ced, aeidiug numerous shoals and renfs,
and had armed off Gay Head light house
wheu she struck en the last ebstrue Ien iu
her courfe, aud, Immediately careening,
became a eelllu for 10'J of tlie 2$ petseus
who were en luard.
The pasengeis, numbering Si, were all
asleep in their state looms aud berths
when tlie hheck tmlily awakened them
nuithei rushtd te the deck te their night

seUes with life pueruus as they emerged
from the cabins. The steamer careened
a.skjeii as iLie stiuck aud her peit side
w.waUeueedashid iu, the sia breaking
into the cabm.
Capt.uu Wright, wlue coolness seems
net te have dtseited him, immediately had
the beats cleared away, but they were
swamped as een as launched, for a gale
was blew lug stilt" from the westwaul ami
the sea was very high en tlie reef. The
lile rait fated better and seven passengers
who entrusted themseles te it diitted
aiwij iu saiety.

Meanwhile paeugers were hetug washed

took te the rigging, hut even they wete
uet all safe, for the waves uew and then
snatched one and bere bint or her off iu
their icy embrace. It was ten o'clock
before siwe t came iu the form of the Hay
