idle rumor is afloat to the effect that Senator Thurman thinks of resign* ing his leal in the Senate to give an opportunity to the Legislature to elect both Pendleton and Ewing. His motive for thisls saldtobe his intention to enter the lists as a Presidential candidate for 18S0, and to secure the united support of the Democratic party of Ohio by this •elf-sacrificing conduct now. We dp itot bcliete a word of this. Mr. Thurman

would not do himself or the party any justice by such action. Among the oldest ot the Democratic Senators in length of service, he is by far the ablest. Learned, cautious, wise, and ready in debat* hit is needed in the Senate, and his place could not be filled by any half dozen men wiom Ohio could name as his such man as Mr. is seeded in the Senate to temper the crude utterances of his more volatile and fiolent partisan! in the ^iouse.

%Hhe recent issue the Christian linion (Beecher's paper) devoted a column to eowihkration of the broken bank in cmfcago. After giving in detail the partAttlirt of the Various failures, the its taken, and the punishment actotlie thieves, the article ends the following very timely conduit is unfortunately true that the ctureftit makes are deserved. We not punished big rascals as we iht Indeed in the case ot Grant we sr a ded a man who did more to stftute public morals, by linking a ipeat office to dirty practice, than any le»men ofthis age. The article says:

Here, then, stands out the giant aggregate of thirty thousand people of Chicago from whom a dozen men have taken the startling sum of four millions O^dollars which they refute- to refund. Goasiciering that the majority of these depositors are heads of families, it is safe «ttsaf that a round hundred thousand people, one-fourth of the city's populi156ft, lire to suffer by these samples of a *M0Mdmode of bank robbery. Infamy idiocy have combined to set forth a 3Mlst sumptuous feast of sorrow, suffering, Yffr* crimeseed? A half dozen bandits jbmdfrrit little bank at Northfield,

Mtenesota, and mounted men rode up md down the forests tiU the villians lay dtad or in dongeosa. A club of Atfvfcs halted a train on tha plains wiyNadnd imiMigr corporation of «Bly sixty thousand, but their crime oaraitd neither hunger nor cold into the jMMeafevcnonr. Yet rewards areot-

Jtred, pursuit made, and the gold robbers

shot without a hearing. Diamond-stud-ded Chicago bankers gormandize their extravagance, their speculative gamblings, or their penchant for clean-cut theft in the sum of four-millions, billet hunger and nakedness upon one hundred thousand poor but respectable people, and out of the gilded coterie one man alone is, so far, barely placed under arrest.

What have been the causes? When the highwayman assaults and robs his victim, the cause «t the victim's loss is easily traced. The same simple logic accounts for a large part of the loss in the late savings banks. It traces halt a million to the President of the State Savings and his flight is confession. In the case ot Myers, who robs the Merchants, Far. mers, and Mechanics' Bank, to meet liabilities aggregating nearly one million the receiver has so tar found only $30,000, in valid assets, though Myers' indictment was for the embezzlemen of only $200,000. For how much more downrighg plundering he is responsible can not now be told. In the case of the Fidelity, friend display a indness, and at tribute all the loss 10 weakness rather than wickedness among its officers. But impoverished depositors find it bard to see wherein the man who loans trust funds to reckless speculators on notoriously worthless securities is better than the man who pockets the same and run8 away. Fast living among the bankers, neglect by the directors, and a system of taking money from the bank by officers and calling it a loan, and speculation as uncertain of profit as a lottery ticket, have all largely contributed as causes of the crash that has come. Trust funds have been gambled away in all sorts of ventures. VsReal estate, taken as collateralJ1 in balloon times and at inflated values, has fallen to the banks and is found worthless for anything but taxation. Then, too, the capital stock upon which the banks are start, ed is largely a myth. Under the mysterious charm attaching to the name "bank," men who could not borrow $100 on their individual word or worth hoist a bank Sign, and people flefch in and leave money with them in thousands without a scrap of security.

One of the causes tor this increase in reckless speculation is plain enough, the immunity accorded public and private de taulters and defrauders of governments and men. When a Postmaster can default for $40,000 and walk the streets unar' raigned when a National Bank President can detraud a community out of half a million dollars and continue unpunished except by popular curses when government robbers in the whisky traffic are allowed to add millions to the taxes of their neighbors to made good the revenues the robbers have stolen, and pardon constantly supplements poor or no prosecution in aid of their liberty and their freedom from fines then, other men of like larcen* ic instincts accept these results as injunctions to go and do likewise. And they go and they do it."

ADDRESS OF SPEAKER RANDALL. Samuel J. Randall's speech, on taking the chair in the House of Representatives yesterday, was a straightforward and manly enunciation of two cardinal doctrines of Democratic faith and practice. We greatly mistake the temper and feeling of the Democracy of the Country if he did not strike a popular chord in the Democratic heart by what he said. His Attitude on the Southern question and towards the administration of President Hayes is dignified and decorous, yet firm aodresolute "We meet," he says "under circumstances imperiously demanding that all considerations ot class and section or party shall be subordinated to the loftier, and patriotic object of doing what is best for the whole .country and all its people." If we read this sentence aright, so far as in him lies, Speaker Randall will use his best endeavors to assist President Hayes in his efforts to- carry out that policy of conciliation and reconciliation towards the South which the Democratic party has labored so zealously for years to secure. He stands by his colors, preterring principle above all possible party considerations. He will uphpld tht President in a policy, to which that distinguished gentleman is a late but welcome convert.

Again he says: "Since adjournment an administration has been inducted into office which is obeyed as the actual govgovernment, regardless of the grave events which marred its birth, and this House animated by a spirit ot true patroitism, desiring first public tranquility under the law, will frankly approve any sincere and permanent policy looking to complete pacification by constitutional methods, and to the consequent promotion of the general welfare. But it should be hdld our duty to provide legislation which will render impossible a repetition of the wrongs which hate accursed, and of dangers which threatened.** This we undertake to say is the position, of the Democratic party clearly Stated The wrong done is recognized. There is no forgetting ot it. But it is uot proposed to sulk about it President Hayes shall be upheld wherever he does not and be commended for it But the iniquitous methods by which it was made possible for the will of the people to be thwarted must be rendered impossible of repetition by wise and wholesome latirs

But the great point he makes is in

THB TWERP!

foreshadowing the policy of economy which the House will undertake to carry tout On his point he says "I assume that we will take no steps backward in the work of retrenchment and reform, se auspiciously began by the last House. Under a matured and definite plan, of reduction of the expenses of the government it is certain that htill greater reductions can be made without impairing the efficiency ot the administration. To have an honest administration it should be frugal. Never before was it more urgent than now, with general financial distress and with labor depressed by heavy burdens, to exercise economy. When the iron rule of hard necessity darkens every household in the land, extravagance on the part of the people's servants is pi unpardonable crime." This**., is the sort of, talk it does? us good to hear. What the people do need is that same economy in the management of national affairs as the people have learned to practice in their own concerns. The last session of the last Congress was one ot the best we ever had. Into the extravagance that had grown up under. Grant, until Grantiem became the synonym of fraud and reckless expenditure, the knife was put with vigor. and effect By that Congress the people were saved an annual expenditure of over thirty millions, that being the amount ot the difference between the appropriations and the estimates. But all was not done in that direction that can be done. Full as much more can be cut off^ v./

We do not suppose for an instant that the estimates of the present heads departments will be as much above the needs of the service as they were.

As a matter of fact tlie Cabinet of President Hayes is composed of honest men. President Hayes himself is an honest man. We suppose a man could leave five dollars or five hundred thousand dollars unguarded in their midst without having it stolen. The man would have been a fool that would have failed to stand guard with a cluh over five cents when a majority of their predecessors were anywhere about. Therefore in the present instance the efforts of the House to economize will in all likelihood be aided by the Cabinet and not hindered as they were before.

HENRY MEIGGS,

ast week the telegraph brought the announcement of the death of Henry Meiggs, one of the most remarkable men of this generation. His life reads like a romance taken from the pages of the "Arabian Nights," From the New York World we glean the following facts concerning his adventurous life:

His life must be ranked, in the singularity, ofots adventures and in the testimony which it bears to the marked and daring energy of the man who lived it, with such careeers as that of Gordon in China or Rajah Brooke id Sarawak. It was not the life, indeed, of a soldier or of a great discoverer. But in his way this bold American, who found Peru without rivers and resolved to supply their place with railroads, was a sort of Monco Capac, to be clasfted forever among the few men who have changed the tace of a great country and given a new direction to the fortunes of a whole people. Mr. Meiggs was a native of Catskill, in this State, where he was born in 1S11 of respectable and well-to-do parents. He began lite at Boston as a contractor, but soon removed thence to Brooklyn, where at the age of twenty-five he had already made a fortune in the lumber business, only to lose it in the great crash of 1737. Within two short years he had recovered his position and much of his fortune, and for some years thereafter he continued to prosecute the same business with success. The outbreak of the gold excitement in Caliiforma, however, exerted an irresistible fascination upon him—the facination not of greed and necessity, but of unknown opportunities and anew world 'yeaning at the birth.' He was one of the earliest 'merchant adventurers' to set out for the new El Dorado, a vessel which he freighted with lumber. At San Francisco he sold this precious cargo at the fabulous profit of 1,900 per cent., and with his usual promptness and perception seizing upon the central facts of the situation in that wonderful time and plaice, left others to dig for gold, and building a wharf* and sawmill on the bay sent some hundreds of choppers into the woods. He thus rapidly acquired, in a business familiar to him, a very large property, and engaging actively in Calitornian affairs became one of the most prominent residents of San Francisco and made himself a power in local matters. In 1854 dunng die reaction which in that year swept over the young community, his business was prostrated, and, infected with the spirit of the place, he resorted to the most irregular practices to keep his credit good. So well did he manage his affairs, however, that the first intimation the people of San Francisco had that anything was wrong was his sudden departure one night after a grand entertainment given by him in his own schooner. He chose his own moment, cariyiqg off, like a defeated general, all hia "camp and stores,' down to the very ornaments upon the mantel-pieces, the pictures from the walls and the rugs from the floors of his house.. Over a million of dollars was the estimated value of the impedimenta,

laden with which he dropped down the American coast in search of a new field •f operation. It was a long time ere his friends and those who had ceased to be his friends "for cause" heard of him, and then he had found the new and de. sirable field of operations in Lima. Whatever he undertook prospered. He found the city of the Rimac, "Lima of the King*," dilapidated and dirty beyond imagination, hemmed in and made unwholesome by crumbling walls, without which rcte vast mounds of garbage and rubbish,the net result of generations of untidiness. Mr. Meiggs undertook to clear away these ramparts of lefuse, in consideration of a liberal share of the land thus redeemed. This he then began, and down to the present time had continued to convert into new streets, boulevards parterres and avenues, planting, improving,'selling lots to wealthy builders, lining the roadways with the useful Eucalyptus, two million plants of which he imported from Australia.

The Chilian Government, in these early jears of his South American life, had ju6t begun, under English auspices, to carry out the great plans of internal improvement urged by our countryman, Mr. Wheelwright. Mr. Meiggs extend* ed his relations into Chili, and beginning with a contract for building the bridge on the remarkable line from Valparaiso to Sagtiago, finally took charge of the line itself. He was allowed four years in which to complete this great mountain work he accomplished it in two, and of the $12,000,000 expended on it netted in profit one-eighth. This performance made him the acknowledged railroad king of South America, and secured for him thtf control of the magnificent and in their way unparalleled railway enterprises which Peru was then planning to open up her own mountainhemmed resources. In 1867 Mr. Meiggs began the construction of the line from the Andean city of Arequipa to the Pacific at Mollendo, a line the dizzy grandeur of which is rivalled only by his own subsequent achievements. The work was completed on New Year's Day, 1871* when he offered to the hundreds of guests he had assembled from all parts of the world a b&nquet at Arequipa which, served on that lofty table-land and in that remote region, seemed like a page out of Aladdin. Two hundred thousand dollars are said to have been expended upon the festival. The commemorative medals, many of very large size, in gold and silver, struck off and lavishly distributed, and the abundant and prineely. gifts made te his guests are estimated to have increased his outlay to $750,000. Only the Khedive at the fetes of Suez, has in our time surpassed this splendid hospitality. It was hardly an extrava gance, however, for the profits accruing from his contract—he received $11,250,000 for building the 107 miles of road— were enormous. A portion of these profits he set apart to discharge the debts due his Californian creditors, and the Legislature of that State passed acts of immunity covering his ait of 1854 and inviting him to return. He had no intention however, of returning to San Francisco to become a miner or a speculator. Before the completion of the Arequipa road, in 1870, he had signed contracts to build no fewer than six other Peruvian 1 ailroads, at a collective cost of about $115,000^00. In 1872 the Ilo and Moquegua road, sixty-three utiles, built at a cost of $6,281,250, was finished in 1873 he Pacasmavo, Guadalupe and Magdale, na road, eighty-three miles built at a cost of $6,656,250, and the collossal Arequipa and Puno road, which crosses the Ande* at a height of more than 15,000 feet, and reaches Lake Titicaca by a line 220 miles in length. Our readers will remember

up 5/300 feet In the next sixty miles it mounts 10,000 feet more. It winds along the edge of precipices it leaps from clifftocliff by bridges that seem to hang in the air It pierces the mountains by a series of sixtj three tunnels at the average distance of two miles apart and at the summit 15,645 feet above the sea* it cuts t! through the ?rock by a tunnel of nearly 4,000 feet The iron viaduct of Agua de Verrugas springs 576 feet across a chasm 253' feet deep. After ascending a grade of 105 to 211 feet to the mile for twenty-three miles, the line reaches the chasm of La Infiernilla, a fissure 2,000 feet deep, with sides as smooth as mason-work, and the torrent of the river Rimac at the bottom. The railway crosses this gorge 200 feet above the river by abridge open* ing into a tunnel at each end. In driving these tunnels the workmen were lowered by ropes from the top of the cliff, and hanging in that way they hammered at the face of the rock until they had cut themselves standing-room

a

description given of this road before its

formai

opening by a correspondent of the World, who went over it before it wis finally completed. From Puno to the an cient Capital of the Incas, Cuzco. this road extends for 230 miles more. While these works were going on he was pushing uP the Andes at the north the Titanic works of the Orova line, which, in the wild mag nificience of the sceneiy it traverses, ris vats its more southern compeer. These were all but parts of a gigantic sys tem of lines, to cost some $210,000,000,1 projected by Mr. Meiggs and adopted for execution by Peru. Of course these vast undertakings neither are nor were expected to be immediately profitable in our sense of that word. Thev were intended to open the inter-Andean regions of Peru to tha Pa cific, and to make her Amazonian wealth available, and were almost without exception Government works. The financeso Peru were and are so involved that at times Mr. Meiggs has been compelled to suspend operations, but he has never suffered the main outline of the w»rk to be seriously interfered with. Of all these roads the most important and interesting if likely to be the Oroya-Callao line, which to be eventually carried across both Cordilleras and to reach the head-waters of the Amazonian system. This was interfered with for a time by a short line some nine miles in length which has long been in operation between Callao and Lima, the English owners of which, having a monopoly, undertook to charge Mr. Meiggs^ exhorbitanj rates fbir transporting his materials and machinery. It is needless to say thai Mr. Meiggs finally built his own line to the seaeoast, and went on with his work, independently. During the first fortysix miles this great Oroya line climbs

One of the objective points of this railroad was the famous silver mines ot the Cerro de Pasco, formerly the richest in the world, but long since flooded and neglected because of the difficulty of reaching them with heavy machinery Mr. Meiggs had recently entered into new contracts with the Peruvian Government for opening and working these mines, and it was but the other day that we received a telegram from London announcing that the engineers estimated the amount of the silver already made availabe in this world-famous region by Mr. Meiggs's explorations, or to be mad* so available, at $2^0,000,000!

Personally Mr. Meiggs was a man of striding presence, of kindly and even gentle manners, and of a most remarkable liberality and benevolence. His residence in Lima was the seat of a literally unbounded hospitality, and he was foremost in all the social amusements and charitable enterprises of the Peruvian capital. He leaves a family consisting, we believe, only of one son and one daughter, the latter of whom was married but two or three years ago."
