THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1864.
THE RAILROAD MONSTER.
It is perhaps unreasonable to expect that, in
■"tones like these, every man elected to the
legislature can afford to he pure and incorrnp
tihle on a salary of six hundred dollars a year.
3!he temptations of city railroad companies and
other speculative corporations are too great for
the virtue of many of them. They have given
sp their business at home at a pretty heavy
sacrifice, and they are hound to be paid for it
Sa one way or another.
Those who have heard of “the Ring,” in
side and outside of the Legislature, which was
• formed for the passage of the Union Passenger
Sailway bill, can scarcely he surprised to hear
that it has passed the House, and by a heavy
aoajority. 'All the Philadelphia members pre
sent voted for it, except Messrs. Cochran,
Schofield, "Watt and Miller. Whether its passage
torough the Senate will be equally easy remains
40" be seen. Remonstrances are being Bigned,
*ad if time is allowed, the Senators will.be able
to'learn that the project is opposed strenuously
an-this city. We trust, too, that the Common
Council will, at its session this afternoon, unite
in She protest against it which the Select Coun
cil.agreed upon last week. Or, if the bill must
pass, let there be at least some effort made to
Sucre it amended so as to divest it of the offen
sive features that we have pointed out at vari
©ns dimes. If the road is needed,as is claimed,
though we deny it, let it be made in a fair and
©pen way. Let the city have a right to consent
*>r object to it; let the books be opened to the
public, and not exclusively to those who
*re behind the scenes; let provision be made
that the dividends to be declared be upon the
capital actually .paid in; and let there be a sec-
tion under which the city of Philadelphia may
—-iave some little control over a road which,with
Stsbranchesj may run oyer every one of her
Btreets. But this, we fear, would not suit the
engineers of this grand speculative scheme.
They have not, thus far, allowed a line or a
wrord of the original bill to be altered, and they
will try to push it through the Senate in the
•Maeway. We trust, then, that the Senate
Wißreject it, and we appeal to the intelligent
members of that body to interpose
for the good of Philadelphia.
GOLD DOWR.
Wedook occasion recently to enter an earnest
protest against the prevailing extravagance.
Let any one inquire of the jewellers, the
Sealers in lace, and m expensive drygoods
and he will be told .that it is difficult to obtain
ejects expensive enough, costliness being the
first requisite. If these objects were manu
factured in this counfry, this wasteful exnendi
fcue -would still be very injurious; but what
sow renders it almost fatal to us, is the tact
that the importing of these Objects drains us of
©v specie, find so depreciates our currency.
Then One articlo after another rises iu pric
every manufacturer and dealer is, afraid that
he will not add enough to his charges, and
makes experimental trials to ascertain the
utmost rates that people will give sooner than
do without his commodities. Plots are laid
amongst speculators to clear .the market of
certain articles, and to hold them until prices
more and more unreasonable and excessive are
obtained. We see ail this going on before onr
eyes and canpot stop it. We know that specu
lations of this sort are at this moment going on
in tea, in coffee, and in lead. Everybody
suffers, that a set of sharks may become
enriched. These, men, finding themselves
masters of sudden fortunes, try to spend as
fast as they make, and their spending is
directed to foreign luxuries. It is the “shoddy,
people” who are the great buyers everywhere.
Meantime the Government, now necessarily
the great purchaser of home-made productions,
is compelled to' make its purchases at exorbi
tant rates, and to pay from 25 to-100 per cent,
more than the actual value of all that it re
quires. Of course the national debt is swelled
proportionately and we shall emerge from this
war with at least one-half more debt than we
should have had could a specie basis have been
preserved. As to whether that could have
been done, it is useless to speculate now. The
great question is, how shall we diminish the
difference between gold and paper as much and
as quickly as possible ?
It needs no CEdipas to solve this enigma; the.
answer is plainly this: We must stop the ex
port of gold by fixing whatever duties are neces
sary to keep down our imports to the measure of
our exports. Let us adopt as a cardinal prin
ciple that we will not buy from foreign nations
more than they buy from us. Gold goes out
to make up the difference between what we buy
and what we sell. Let us make these two items
balance each other, and the gold will remain.
We want every ounce of gold that is in the
country, every ounce that can he mined, and
more still—we want what has already gone out,
and which we cannot recover. But if it is too
late for that, it is still time to prevent the evil
getting worse, to check the incessant flow of
the precious metal outwards to pay for useless
luxuries—luxuries which at the present time
no one has a right to indulge in. And if any
will have them, let them pay well for them in
he shape of largely-increased duties.,
A heavy increase in our duties will have an
other most beneficial effect: it will increase
immigration. Those who have been labtring
abroad to produce for onr markets, if we cease
to buy abroad will come here, and produce
here the manufactures for which there is a de
mand, and which we shall have refused to buy
abroad. Thus augmented duties will benefit
us in three distinct ways—will retain the specie,
increase the revenues, and promote immigra
tion. Of these the first is at present the most
important. Faith in our currency is indispen
sable, and that faith is only to be kept by having
behind it an abundant metallic .basis. If for
ten or fifteen years past we had maintained a
high protective tariff and kept our specie at
home, we should now be on a specie basis, simply
on account of the abundance of gold, which
would have existed everywhere amongst us.
'To realize this, it is only necessary to look at
California, where specie payments have never
been suspended. The National currency would
then have been at par, and everything could
have been bought at moderate rates; we should
owe but two millions,where we now owe three.
But letting the dead past bury its dead, and
looking only to the future, we must be blind
not to see that there never was a. time when a
reform in the tariff was so absolutely necessary
as now. The retention of.gold is the only cure
for our currency, and measures to effect this
object cannot be too quickly adopted.
"HIRED CUTTHROATS."
The New York correspondent of the London
Times, writing Feb. 26th, shows great indigna
tion and uneasiness at the large arrivals of im
migrants from Europe. He charges the
Government .of the United States with sending
numerous emissaries through Ireland and Ger
many, well provided with money, who pretend
to engage men to go to America to till the soil
or to work on railways; but says they are really
to recruit the army. He goes on to say:
• ‘Those who are tempted by the enormous boun
ties offered by the Government and the municipali
ties, and come to America as mercenaries to fight
the battles o i a people which has not the willing
men in sufficient numbers to fight its own, are not
to he reasoned with. They are hind cutthroats,
nothing less, and hired cutthroats they will remain,
whether they be Irish Germans, or English
men.”
It is a fine piece of consistency for an Eng
lishman to speak of foreign soldiers in an army
as “hired cutthroats!” England has never
been engaged in a great war in which she has
not employed thousands of foreign mercenaries.
The Hessians who fought against us in the re
volution; the Swiss who fought against us in
1812-15, were, according to this writer, “cut
throats,” hired by England. In 1854-5 emis
saries of England were trying to hire “cut
throats” in this country to fight against the
Russians; hut our Government stopped it
summarily by dismissing the British Minister
and several consuls who were engaged in the
work. In that same war England had a
‘‘foreign legion,” recruited from Germans and
Swiss, who were all, according to the Times
writer, “hired cutthroats.” ' Even now there
are several war steamers afloat, under the rebel
flag, which were built, fitted out and armed
with English money, and manned with “hired
cutthroats,” most of them subjects of Queen
Victoria; It is false that the United. States
has sent emissaries to Europe to get men for
our armies. But. thousands of v Europeans are
coming weekly to this country voluntarily, and
it is base to stigmatize such willing emigrants
as choose to enlist after their arrival, as “hired
cutthroats.”
MORE MISCHIEVOUS LEGISLATION.
; The act consolidating the city of Philadel
phia, and several of its supplements, contain
various provisions for preventing a wasteful or
impioper expenditure of the money of the city-
Among these is the following section of a sup
plement, approved April 21st, 1855:
‘‘Section 21. That no appropriation shall be
made of the moneys of the city, without an ordi
nance therefor, expressing the objects thereof, and
the amount appropriated for each object. It shall
be the duyofthe Mayor to keep a register of the amount
and objects of all appropriations, and to withhold his
signature for all new constructions and redemption of
tolls as aforesaid, until all the interest accru
ing ON THE LOANS OP THE CITY, AND THE PRINCI
PAL OP THESE BECOMING DUE, AND THE ORDINARY
AND NECESSARY EXPENSES OP THE CITY, AND THE
ADMINISTRATION OP JUSTICE IN THE COURTS,
SHALL BE ADEQUATELY PROVIDED YOB; and WITH
OUT his signature, any ordinance therefor shall not
go into effect. It shall he a misdemeanor in office
lor the Controller of the city to pass, or the Trea.
surer of the city to pay. any hill or order for any
Object not authorized by law.”
No one can deny that this is a very proper

law. Indeed something of the kind is abso
lutely necessary to prevent wrong-doing in the
finances of. the . city. The public will, there
fore, learn with surprise that yesterday Mr.
Jeremiah Nichols, Senator from this city, in
troduced a bill to repeal this section; and will
he still more surprised to learn that the Senate
passed it. This trifling with the organic law of
the city will be ruinous. The people do not
want this section' of it, or any other, repealed,
till they have had it presented to them fairly,
and had time to examine it. The pnrpose of
this proposed repeal is to remove all checks
and Yestraints from the, expenditure of the
money of the city. We trust that the Mayor
and the members of the City will
make some effort to prevent the further pro
gress of this scheme. Well. may Philadelphia
pray to' he saved from her members of the
State Legislature.
ARMY BUTTONS AND GOLD COED.
Not long since one of the commanding Gene
rals in the West issued an . order prohibiting
citizens or other unauthorized persons from
wearing the buttons or gold cord, which
usually designate an officer of the Army, and
the benefits derived from the prohibition have
been so great, that we are surprised similar or
ders have not been promulgated in other mili
tary departments. It may be impossible where
thousands of soldiers, discharged from the ser
vice, are found in every Northern city, to pre
vent the retention of a regulation overcoat, cap
or pants; but there is no reason why the gilt
button of the officer or the private, or the
black and gold cord which is exclusively the
designating mark of a commissioned
should be used promiscuously by every man
and boy, white and colored, who may feel in
clined to adopt them. .Officers who have dis
solved their connection with the service, unless
devoid of that hondr and principle which
usually mark the gallant defenderjjf his coun
try, never retain the uniform for a single day
after they reenter the great army of civilians,
and as impostora only will be affected by this
order, we hope the necessary regulation will be
prescribed by the Commanding General at this
post.
Key. Me. Bhibdley, of Wellsbnrg, West Vir
ginia, is in this city, endeavoring to raise funds
to erect/ a new church in that town. Five
sixths of the male members of the church are
in the service of the country, and the ladies
are anxious to have- the building completed
before they return. Mr. Brindley has testimo
nials of the highest character, and we commend
him and his undertaking to the liberality of our
citizens.

OFFICE OF THE
GREAT CENTRAL FAIR
FOB THE
SANITARY COMMISSION,
PHILADELPHIA, 1307 CHESTNUT STREET,
MABCH, 1864.
The Committee on Finance and Donations of the
Great Central Fair, appeal for contributions In
money, to those of their fellow-citizens who do
propose sending to the Fair the products of their
skill and industry. By far the larger portion of
the money received on the occasion of the Fairs
held for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission in
Cincinnati, Boston, and Brooklyn, was derived
from direct donations in easJi. and not from the
proceeds of the sale of articles exposed. Wnat
the Sanitary Commission needs to afford
relief to the sick and wounded soldiers
is money. in large amounts. and from
all sources. We call, then, upon all bank
ers, corporations, capitalists, persons living upon
incomes, professional or otherwise: In short,
npoh all who will not be represented in he Fair by
their productions, to imitate the example of those
who will, and to contribute liberally In jioset
for this great object. In New York, although
their Fair is not to be held for two weeks, contri
butions of more than $200,000 in cash have been
already received, a single department of trade,
thatof dry goods, having made ap more than half
that sum. Brooklyn and Cincinnati have each
contributed as much in money, and certainly the
wealth, liberality and patriotism of Philadelphia
can hardly be considered as less conspicuous than
that of these communities. Contributions will be
thankfully received by any of the members of
the Committee.
