Few things better illustrate the doctrine o titter uselessness than the present session of the forty seventh congress, now sitting in Washington. The party repre sented by the majority has just received the most overwhelming defeat that ever a political party suffered in this ceuntry: of its representatives whose term expires on the 4th of nest March, 173 failed to be re-elected; such men as the famons Secor Robeson, of New Jersey, spending $70,000 to be re-elected and deservedly fail ing; and the only doctrine to be advocated during this winter in Washington is that of expediency. And yet how great the demands for legislation! Apart from local considerations, aside from the pressing necessities of our own locality and state, the affairs of the nation at large, require legislative aid to free them from financial burdens. Perhaps nothing will more clearly illustrate what we mean than the following plain statement. The people of the United States are paying one million dollars a day as a war tax, though the war was over seventeen years ago. Our congress is asked to take off this onerous burden on the peo ple, and the house committee sug gests that the tax be taken off whis ky,tobacco, bank checks, etc , while private government detectives ar rest barefooted boys for selling un stamped matches. The matter of protection is bad enough, but the uimeccessary. withdrawal of a daily million of dollars from the industries of the couutrv in the shape of an oneious tax, is worse. The old differences, if any, be tween the political parties fade into insignificance before the over shadowing presence of matters that affect national and individ ual wealth. Railroad Facilities. To-morrow the third railroad across the continent will be fin ished, and by New Tears the trav eler can step into a palace car at San Francisco and ride over a steel rail, stone-ballasted, well-equipped road to New Orleans. In the spring of 1S33, John Plumbc, at a public meeting in Dubuque, Iowa, broached the subject of a Pacific railway, being, we believe, the first man to make public advocacy of the enterprise. Then, such an undertaking seemed vague and visionary; now, half a century later, we have virtually four great lines of railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The enterprise, skill, perseverance and push necessary to successfully bring to completion a work of such stupen duous magnitude as a transconti nental line of railway, is a fit sub ject for admiration. A railroad which runs through Gilmer and Pickens counties, Georgia, builds culv&rts of white marble and lays its ties on a bed of the same material. NEW TO-DAY. Street Improvement Notice.
