One Tir of Good Government.
From tb Washington Chronicle.
On the 4th of March. 1869, General
TT Sv (Irtinr. took the oath of office and
nionth now enables us to take a retro-sfK-ctive
rievr of the first year of the ad
ministration of President Grant, and to
inquire whether he has justified "the pre
dictions of his friends, the expectations
of tis party, and the hopes of the coun
try at !a.-ge.-. .... .,
f of aK these questions, tipnn a dispas
sionate review of the events of the po
litical year, we are enabled to reply in
the affirmative. - The results which were
fairly to be anticipated from the election
of President Grant , have really taken
ruaue, and the country has good reason
to- con.Tatu'ate itself upon a wie selec-
tion of its Chief Mamstrate." "
It mav be conceived that the elements

-j t,he year we are ralljil apoa; to, jeiew
were not verj distinctly toreseen by any
of the numerous organs of public opin
ion which twelvo' mouths since untk-r-took
to ca.-t the horosto;e of the new
administration. Many things have tran3
lred very differently frobt the anticipa
tions of even the best prophets; but the
general, result attained to-day are far
More nattering and jit a outlook lar more
rea-surinir than could reasonably have
bet; predicted. ,r ;
u The experiment eofhinneed a vmrago
was one which was not free from grave
difficulties and complications. If, ouHthe
one bund, the new Administration.1 pos
sessed the certainty of being able to com
pare favorable wtk aJ.Ccrr.ipti and un
scrupulous predecessor, that very cir
cumstance imposed upon it the hercu
lean task of idealising the Augean stable3
of a demoralized governmental system
Order had to be evoked from chaos, and
the entire gorernm ntal machinery had
to 5e reorganized. That this collossal
achievement- has been fairly accomplish
ed, arid that in our public offices honesty,
capability, and patriotism have very gen
erally taken the place of speculation and
disloyalty, is the grand, the magnificent
trophy of President Grant. "Peace
hath her victories no less renowned , than
war's," and the triumphs of a year of
good government add yet fresher gar
lands to the laurels of Fort Douelson,
Vicksburg, nd Appomattox.
Millitaiy heroes have hitherto not un-freo'i'-ntly
proved themselves sadly de
ficient in statesmanship and in many of
the qualities rcqui- itc for the successful
management of a constitutional govern
ment. It was, therefore, not
improbable, a prion', that President-
Grant, who never porfes-ed
to bea poiitican, would be found wanting:
i-i souie requisite essential to the highest
administrative success. The record of
his first year forever sets at re?t all un
easy anticipation t of this character. He
has shown himself richly endowed with
highest gifts of the statesman. His se
lections of men to fill the chief positions
in his gift has often occasioned surprise
at thi outset, but the test of experience
has vindicate d his knowledge of charac
ter. He has been proof against that be
setting tempation of military rulers, the
ambition to .signalize their advent to
power by some dashing demonstration
along the line of international questions.
De-pi tc the opportunities afforded bv nu
merous foreign complications closely af
fecting American interests, and despite
the goading of a portion of the Republi
can press, he has maintained the high
vantage ground of perfect amity with
all foreign nations. By so doing, he has
largely increas-d the moral and material
weight which our country wilt be enabled
Vt throw into the scale should, wc.ever be
called uio!i to take a decided stand in
support of some sound principle.

Our Nebraska City exchanges are

above 'railroad, and urging it with an
energy that must soon attract the atten
tion of capitalists. The route for this
-road is as xrood as can be found in any
. . . - i -
Suite intact, we douot not ttio gra le is
as easy as on the Elkhorn valley. " The
Weeping Water empties into the Mis
souri river, about six miles north of Ne
braska City, and an entrance to the Val
ley can easily be made by running V'P lJ,e
Missouri bottom. Along the en lire
h'Deofthe Weeping Water the country
Ls well settled for several miles on cith
er side, and the soil is as productive as
anv nortion of Nebraska. Frocr the

anotit, the other via Wahoo 'aliey to the
junction of Sand Creek, thence north
over the table lands to a point south or
southwest of Fremont. Either of these
routes can be made good grade at much
less expense for grading ami bridging
than the lina of , the S. C. & P..R- R.
from Ulair to Fremont. The distance
from Ashland to Fremont by' either of
these routes, is between. twenty-eight
and thirty miles."
:"The fact that neither Cass or Otoe
counties are- in, condition 'at this time to
aid tle building of this road from Ne-;
braska Citv to Ashlund, causes us to
temporarily drop . that part of the line-
and consider the importance or the sec
tion lying between Fremont and Ash
land. Ashland is on the line of the B. fe M.
R.. fcituated at the most northwestern
point of that road, and at the junction
of the Platte and Wahoo Valleys, from
hence the route to Fremont is west of
north Fremont being eight miles west
and twenty-four miles north of Ashland.
The town of Ashland is surrounded by a
rich farming country, is supplied with
abundant water iower for manufactur
ing purposes, stone of tha best quality
is inexhaustible; and is rapidly taking
its position as one of the most important
towns in our State. The country along
either the Wahoo or Platte route to Fre
mont is well settled and a large surplus of
grain now lies in graneries awaiting mar
ket A railroad connecting the towns of Fre
mont and Ashland could make rates with
the 13. & M. R. R., by which the two
roads could have a fair share if riot a
monopoly of all the freights received at
Fremont from the c;u-,t, while a liberal
spirit would give the same road the car
rying of the immense quantity of grain
shipped from this point, and lVom the
line of the F." K. & Mo. V. R. R. In
the event of the building of the F. E. &
Mo. V. R. R , to a connection with the
Northern PaciSc a large amount of grain
would lie demanded on the line of both
roads, and as the North Piatre eoj'd
hardly furnish the requisite amount, a
grain trade would be established from
both east and west of Ashland and the
produce shipped over this road to Fre
moot.
Tlie transportation of ston3 from Ash
land quarries would furnish bii-iness tho
wholfi year. No quarries north of Platte
river are now tapped by railroad, and in
every town ryi the Union Pacific from
Omaha to North Platte there is a de
tuand for rough and cut stone.
Another item of va.-.t importance in
the business of an A-hland tt Fremont
railroad is the transportation of lumber
as soon as the St, Paul railroad is
completed to Sionx City we will receive
both lumber and coal via Sioux City !i
Pacific R. IL Already the supply of
coal from the mines west is suhVicnt for
all demand, and were a railroad built to
Ashland thej entire south Platte country
could be supplied with cheap fuel by the
13. Sc M. R. R and its connct ions. -
Consi'Winfr'tfav.Fhwrt link of road
necessary to connect the north aud outh
and cast and we-i by the bail lini of a
railroad from Fremont" to Ashland, we
confess ourselves surprised that it ha'
not been built tonic time ago, but we are
now glad to state that scvcial parties
backed by abundant capital are de voting
their attention to this matter, and by
early spring may lie under way. One
fact is assured no better line of road
can be found in the we.it, and th? com
pany will be lucky that secures the field
immediately.- . '; ')'.',"' !

For several days past a desperate fijrht
has been going on between Stewart ai d
Ciaflin. the kings of tho dry goods mar
ket. Stewart started it by "nuiking
down" bolow . Clafbn's figures, Cla'liu
followed suit ; Stewart cut down a -ruin;
then Ciaflin;- then Stewart; then Ciafi.n
again; then Stewart once more, and so
the war has gone On for a week. Dry
goods men toil me they never saw the
market so excited as it is by this war
between the two great house-. Roth
parties are selling at prices that are abso
lately ruinous. Trade was so disturbed
by their ojierations that the agents of the
different mills held a meeting and deci
ded not to sell to any one except at a
cert in fixed price. Stewart had been
selling some lines far below the agei.t.s
prices (losing heavily, of course), and
thej thought to steady the innrket by
giving notice that they would not sell to
any man who attempted to undersell
them. Stewart continues his "bear"
operations, however, and the excitement
is rising to a fever. He has demoralized
the market to such an ':.vtent that it may
take some weeks to restore steadiness.
Several lines of seasonable roods are now t
going at a reduction of thirty to forty
per cent, from last week's price?. The
ll-.ht i- characterized by outsiders, a. I
"throat-cuttir r." Stewart's puun.-iitv
and capital will carry him through, but
houses not so stronjr as his will probably
go by the board before thestorui blows
over.
