First jHortgage Thirty Year COLD OBLIGATIONS OF THE Central acific Railroad Co, Secured by an Absolute First Lion Upon the most Desirable l'oi tlon of t he Great National Pacific ll.lt. Line. Dear Bin: This great enterprise la approach ing complellon with a rapidity that astonishes the worid. Iess than 400 miles remain to be built .to connect the Central PaclUo ttallroid With the Atlantlo linen. The greater part of the interval Is now graded, and It is reasonably expected that the TI1UOUUH CONNECTION BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO AND NEW YOKK WILL TIE. COMPLETED .BY JULY NEXT. The western portion of the Line, known as the CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD, besides having the largest settlement, the riohest mines, the most valuable lands along its route Is also built and completed as a first-class Rail road In all respects, being constructed directly by the Company themselves, without the Inter vention of contractors, and in such a manner as to insure future stability, economy of opera tlon, and the permanent valuo of the property. The report of the Special Commlssloa of Experts, recently appointed by the President to examine the railroad and telegraph lines of the Central Paclflo Railroad Company, telegraphed to the Secretary of the Interior, Deo. 3, is fall and specific, and concludes as follows: "Heavy trains of rails, ties, and fuel are run ning safely to the extreme end of the roai, four hundred and forty-five (145) miles from Sacra mento. Trie road Is being constructed in good faith, In a substantial manner, without stint of labor, material, or equipment, and is worthy of Its character as a great national work." Ey the aid ol the General Government, and valuable grants from California sources, the Company have already met the bulk of their expenditures, and have sufficient cash resources to enable them to finish their work with the Utmost vigor. The iron, and a liberal equip ment for the five hundred miles now about completed, as well as the material needful for two hundred and fifty mile i additional, are all bought, paid for, and at hand for use. The speedy completion or their entire line, and Its success as a grand business enterprise, are no longer matters of hopeful promise, but are placed beyond all ordinary contingencies. The business of the road, although in its in fancy only. is without precedent. THE GR03S EARNINGS FROM JULY 1 TO DEO. 1 WERE UPWARD OF Jl.400,000 IN GOLD, of WHICH ABOUT ONE MILLION WAS NET PROFIT. This result was from local oommarclal business only, at a time when the Company felt com polled to employ their available equipment, to a largo extent, in transporting the vast amount Of supplies required to subsist twelve thousand men along a line of more than five hundred miles, and the material required for extending the track THREE HUNDRED MILES during the period, to the temporary neglect of the enormous freighting business seeking trains!1 over the Road. At a late date there were no less than seventy nine locomotives running on the road, eighty more on the way, and over twelve hundred cars, to which the Company are constantly making large additions, so that by the time the Immense tide of THROUGH TR WEL AND FREIGHT ACROSS TUE AMERICAN CON TINENT shall be ADDED TO THE NATURAL AND EXPANDING LOCAL BUSINESS, and the energies of the Company, with their lm mense facilities, can be devoted to the regular traffio, THEIR EARNINGS WILL BE ON AN UNEXAMPLED SCALE, and their Securities be ranked AMONG THE MOST POPULAR in THE WORLD. The current Interest Liabilities upon the Bonded Debt, upon an average of three hundred miles in operation during the above perloJ, were less than 8350,800. The Issue of the Company's FIRST MORT GAGE B0ND3 is limited by act of Congress, and will not equal one-third the cost and value of the property upon which they constitute the ' first lien. The greater part of th is loan is already marketed, and is held as a permanent invest ment by the capitalists of this country and Europe. We are authorized to offer a portion of the remainder at lt)3 AND ACCRUED INIE BEST IN CURRENCY. The Bonds are of $1000 each, bear six per cent. Interest per annum, payable In the City of New York, IN UNITED STATES GOLD COIN. As the accrued interest from July 1 Is charged to the purobaser in currency, and the semi annual coupons maturing January 1 next will be paid in full, in gold, there Is an advance in purchasing during the present mouth equal to the premium on the back interest. The Company reserve the right to advance the price at any time, but all oruerg aotually in transitu at the time of any such ad vanoe will ba filled at present price. At this time they pay more than eight per cent, upon the investment, and have, from national and State laws, guarantees superior to any other corporute securities now offered. We receive all classes of Government bonds at their full market rates, in exchange for the Central Pacific Railroad Bonds, thus enabling the holders to realize from 5 to 10 PER CENT.

The New Albany (Ind-) Ledger trlves the fol lowing additional particulars of the lawless proceedings enacted there by a vigilance com mit tte on Saturday morning last: Tlic llfiriilntora. It is estimated that there were from Beventy five to one hundred men in the party, but who they are is as yet unknown. They eame well armed and equipped for tnelr work, and exe cuted it in less time than a person would im agine 11 could be done, as they were not over twenty minutes at the jail. They hud five mauillrt ropes, each about eight or ten leet long, with hangman's noose already adjusted to slip over the necks of their victims. Oneo these ropes was leu behind, and it Is suppose'! they Intended to hang Clark, who Is here on a change of venue from Washington county, for the murder of George Telle, but they ooaoluded not to do so, fearing to remalu longer lest the alarm might be given. The Wives una Sister or the Victims. The wives of Frank Reuoand Charles Ander son have been temporarily residing in luis city for several weeks. Miss Liura Keuo, sister of the deceased, who has shown suoli devotion to her 111-lated brothers, arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning, a despatch having been sent to Louisville, where she was attending a Catholic tichool. As may be supposed, sue, as well as Mrs. Frank Reno and Mrs. Anderson, are in deep distress at the horrible butchery. When taken to view the remains of her three dead brothers, lying In a row, the distress of the sister was a spectacle never to be forgotten. Her cries were piteous aud heart-rending. Tue oungest of the brothers seemed to ba tue spe cial object of her uffecilon, for as she stooped over the lifeless form she exclaimed, "Ohl my brother! my baby! my baby brother!" Mrs. Anderson stated to our reporter that Charles Anderson was In bed with her, his wife, at their residence in Windsor, Canada, on the night of the express robbery at MarshUeld. She also states that Fiauk Reno was boarding at her house, and was there that nlnl. Mrs, s. V. Reno, wife ol Frank Reno, asserts tnat William Keuo was at the Kader Hcuse In Seymour on the night of the robbery, and that Simeon was at Ruck ford. The party were no doubt bad men, and had committed crimes against the law. but they were at least entitled to a fair trial. Frank is the only one of the Renos mirrled. His wife is a daughter of Dr. John L Ford, a well-known'cltlzen and former member of the Legislature from Jackson county. She is re presented as a most estimable lady. 'J lie Coroner's Inquest; The Coroner was called and summoned a jury to investigate the affair, but we have no idea that any evidence will be elicited to determine who are the guilty parlies. The bodies were cut down and laid in the Jail hall, where the inves tigation will be held. The body of Auderaon, when cut down, was still warm. After the inquest the bodies of the Rno bro thers will be delivered to their relatives, now in the city, who announce their intention to re move them to Jackson county for interment. The remains of Anderson will most probably he interred here by the authorities. Trial mid Imprisonment of the Robbers, It may be remembered that Charles Ander son aud Frank Reno had their residence at Windsor, Canada. Soon after the Mcirsbtteld express robbery an application was made to the Canadian authorities for their surrender uuder the Extradition treaty, on a charge of being Implicated in the robbery. A lengtoy exami nation ensued, and a great many witnesses were examined. One witness swore that be recognised the two men as being conoerued in the robbery, but by others they proved that they were at Windsor on the night of the rob bery. The counsel for the prisoners nrzed that In a case of so much doubt it would be little less than murder to deliver them up, inasmuch as the mob, which had already hung six men, stood ready to bang Keno and Anderson, should they be delivered up. This seemed to have weight with the magis trate, when the Adams Express Company pledged themselves, and we have heard gve bund, that they should have a lair and Impar tial trial. Upon a representation of the tacts to our Government at Washington, Secretary Seward also gave a solemn pledge that the men should have u fair trial, and If lound luuouent of this charge tbey should be returned by the United States to tneir residence in Canada. Jt was uuder these circumstances they were brought to Indiana. The crime was committed in Scott oouuty, but on account of the Inse curity of the Jail at Lexington, they were brought to this city and contiued la our ounty Jail, where Simeon aud William Reno, arrested on the eame charge, were already prisoners. We believe that every rigbt-tlilnklug man will say that the bringing of them here was wrong. It was the duty of the United Slates to see that the pledge made by the Secretary of State was fulfilled, either by placing a guard of soldiers around our Jul!, or confining tne prisoners in some Government fortress nntil the time of trlitl arrived. It is understood that Reno and Anierson in tended to apply before Jude Bickuoll for u writ of hubeus corpus, sayim; that they could show that they wero not concerned in the Marshfleld robbery. The so-called Vlgllants probably got wind of this, aud hence the terri ble tragedy of this morning. (Statement of a Witness of the Tragedy. Writing to the Cincinnati Gazette, Henry Clark, an eje-witneHS, says: The first persons I saw in Jail were two men who had on masks of red llannel, or something of the kind perhaps red handkerchief. Heard the men talking to Matthews, tne guard, ap parently endeavoring to force him to point out the cells. Matthews refused to tell them any thing. Then a voice said something about put ting a rope round his neck, aud the order was given to pull him up. Then heard numbers 21, II, aud 7 distinctly uttered, and they seemed to have released Matthews. No. 2i was Frank Reno's cell. No. 11 was Charles Anderson's, and Simeon and William Ren'4 were In No. 7. Then heard someone say, "Bring a rope," and they went to Frank Reno's cell first. Frank said nothing, aud heard the words), "Frank Reno, No. 24," and then, '"Pull him out." He resisted some, and cried, "For God's sake, geu llemen, what are you itolng to do ?" Tney told him to dry up, and then lied his hands, and a couple of them grabbed him by the throat, pnsnlng him along. As they got to the top of the stairs he clutched at the banisters, but made no noise. He died very hard. Alter hanging Frank, they went to No. 7, Where Simeon and William Reno were. As tbey opened the door, some one spoke up and said, "What do you want here 7" Then I heard something fall, and afterward heard that oue of them hud been knocked down by Slmeou, who had seized the sink lid to defend himself. I tbea heard the fall of another body as they rushed into the cell. Simeon had been knocked down. Heard htm groan. They then took him out, carried him round aud hung him. I heard him make no noise. Then they brought out William, and I saw them put a rope around his neck. An order was given for Hon. 8 and 6 Every man seemed to be called by a number instead oi by name to go np aud catch the rope. William said, "I am innocent, gentlemen; never done the robbing. O Lord! protect my father and sister." Two men pulled him up. William struggled very bard. When Anderson was taken out of his cell he asked for time to pray, but was told to shut his mouth, and that they did not want auytuiug outofhlm Theystruug him up, but the rope broke. It was tied again, and he was again pulled np. Canadian Opinions of the Outrage Front the Ottawa Times, DectmberH. One can understand the dislike of thefugl-jlYtfb-Beuo and Anderioa-to extrndJUon, when he reads the despatch from Indianapolis. It appears that some "Vigilance Commute i," a common institution among our neighbors, ai ticlpaled the action of tho oonrt by giving the prisoners the benetttof ly nob law. We do not wish to be understood as entertaining any sympathy for scoundrels, even when they meet with very bard lines; but we must say that the execution of these men by an extra-Jadloial decree, no matter what their guilt, Is a dis grace to the country in which it took place. Even If they deserved banging, surely the loim -of a trial might first have been accorded them. What a contrast does their case present to that of the convicted murderer of Thomas tl'Arcy McGee! Our people may well be congratulated on the spirit of law and order which prevails amongst them; and we only hope that In spite of delays which canuot now be prevented, the patient publlo will hive no occasion to Ionb Its lultli in the ability of the Judicial tribunals of the country to punish every criminal whose crlmo has fairly been brought to his door. The "Vigilance Commit tee," with Its concomitant of lynch. law, Is a burning dlsgrnce to the United States, of which every American ought to feel ashamed, and which the Government of their country sUoull er lavor to put down at once and foiever witn a firm hand. From the Toronto LeaCcr, Dec. 11. One of the strongest arguments, addressed more to the sympathy than to the reasou of t ie Canadian Judges, against the surrender of these person, was that, if bonded over to the Indian) authorities, they would 1)9 taken violently out of their hands and km lie r the unjust death which tho mob had already inlllcled on six others who were only suspected not convicted of crime, There Is a moral obligation which un derlies all extradition treat!11 namely, that ptrties accused or crime and surrendered lu uood faith by one Government to another n1i:I1 be tiled lor the offense, and no other charged against tbem in tne country from which tbey were removed, and that they shall be secured In the right of a fair trial byacoiri pelent tribunal, without molestation either from the olllcers of the law, on the one hand or private lndlulduals, singly or banded to- f ether in a mob, on the other. Our judges be leved that that moral obligation would be respected Dy tne autnoruies into wuose custody Keno and Anderson were given, and the Governor-General, before issuing his warrant of extradition, was assured, we believe, that all requisite precautions would be taken to guard (lie rrlsotieiBsgainstillrcal violence, and to en sure them an Impartial trial. The result, we re gret to say, goes to justify the apprehensions of the prisoners' counsel, Mr. O'Connor, and to snow that the assurances which were given as to the safety of the prisoners were idle, if not altogether insincere, A terrible mob has wreaked Its vengeance npon tne unhappy men, aud whether they were guilty or innocent they have fluttered a puuisnmcnt far in excess of what wusdue to the crime of which they stood charged. As far as we in this country are con cerned, the etleets of such Inhuman conduct must be to make us doubly caiolul in all cases of extradition. We surrender alleged ciimlrjals in order that they may be tried: but if, instead of trial, it is butchery that meets them when they cross the border, we will soon have to consider whether the evils of the law under which they are given up do not outweigh the good it was intended to confer. We have heretofore made the surrender simply upon prima facie evidence of guilt; but occur rences such as that at New Albany admonish us that something more will in future be re quired. No man can be safe In this country however Innocent, if he is liable at any moment to be exposed to the tender mercies of a mob upon the plea that he is guilty of an offense for which he ought to be tried in the United State, but which may rest, after all. only upon evi dence trumped up to obtain possession of his body. - A REBUTTAL. Judge l'ot-khain Iteplicsto llcuiy Ward Heedier. It will be remembered that some Sundays since Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered a sermon in which he uttered these words: "The last refuge of Justice is in our courts; and yet, so corrupt are our courts become, that the name of Juilfe stinks! There Is nolhiug that excites my indignation more. There is no treachery that Is so base. There is nothing that I forgive myself for so unwillingly as for meeting a corrupt Judge and not 1 row mug upon him yea, aud striking him !" To this denunciation Judge Wheeler H. Beck ham, of New York, replies: "To the contrary of all this, sir, I assert, and without fear of contradiction, that the Judges of this State, as a class, are men or as hhjh character, of as sterling integrity, of as unble mished honor, as any that ever adorned the Bench of any country, 1 as&ert that they are entitled to and receive the most abso'ute con fidence and respect of the people. That no where In the world is justice more readily or more certainly obtained. Tuat to the courts ot no country do suitors submit their cases with more confidence of a patient hearing aud an honest, impartial decision, than to tuo.se you have made the subject of suoh extravagaa t de linnoiation. "Further than this, sir, I am very greatly at a Ions to understand the motive ol your attack. Do you really wish it to be 'blown abroad' that the Judges of this State are proverbially corrupt ? Do you thlukyou serve your country by holding it up to the scorn aud contempt ef the civilized world? Can It be that your aim was to excite a healthy publio opinion by stat ing a palpable untruth, in representing the whole Judicial body as corrupt aud depraved to the lubl degree? that you hoped to excite a higher standard of truth and honor among the 'honest' Judges by including thern in a class denounced as the vilest of mankind JVhose very name 'stinks?' Or can it be that you desired, by the very universality of your charge, tout it should fall harmless to you and tne accused alike? "1 can conceive, sir, of none of these, unless the last, being the motive of that sermon. "But if 1 were told that the sermon was preached by a man auimated by an absorbing passion for notoriety, whose ambition was for 1 lie sensatlenal, who fully appreciated the vulgar passion for calumny, who revelled In the eay task of violent aud general vituperation, and turned coldly away from the earnest work of specific charges against speclfio Individuals, sustained by cogent evidence. I cou'.d under stand what had been Its motive, why it had been preached and published. "Your eminent character and high public posi tion forbid me to attribute in this caso huou motives as these. Tney must at the same time excose my inability to ascribe any others. "Your obedient ervant, "WitmLER H. Pkckham." MILITARY EXPENDITURES. THE COLE TRIAL. The Conduct at (Senator Cole, The Albany Aryan of Saturday last say Hit-Senator Cole, ot California, who has been In I his city for several weeks past, lu attendance upon the trial of his brother. General George W. Cole, ltfi last evening for Wash inuton. lie has shown grrat devotion to hit brother since bis arrest, furnishing at his own expense the ablest counsel t hat could be seenred to aid In bis defense. We presume that the two trials have cost Senator Cole at least (50,000. Messrs. Parker, Brady, Hadley, aud Mitchell were en gaged for tho defense on the first trial, aud In addition to all these, on the last trial, Mr. Beach, of Troy. It is slated that Mr. Brady was paid $5000 for his services alone, ou the last trial, and the other eminent counsel must have received sums scarcely less, lu addition to this, large sums were expended In obtaining wit nesses from distant portions of the country. It Is not surprlsins that, aside from the strong feelings of fraternal altect lon which he has con spicuously aud creditably displayed on these trials, Senator Cole should have been extremely anxious that the late trial of the case would be the last. He is, however, abundantly able to meet these heavy drafts upon the purse, having accumulated a fortune in California estimated at one million of dollars. We understand that it is his desire to tuke (ieneral Cole with him to California, where he will place him In business, and enable him to start In the world anew. It may be added that the Senator not merely sym pathized with but fully Justified the conduct of tils brother in killing Mr. Hisoook, declaring the homicide to be suuotloned by the "laws of human nature." News from poor Carlotts is that she la getting better, sings and paints, and medi tates writing a history of the restoration of the Mexican empire.

Oiie draft for II 10C0 was found, also others for smaller amounts, and bow uinou money waa takeu it Is impossible to say. Tnls Is qultean extensive manufacturing town, and tbe malls are almost dally laden with valuable enclosures. A special agent of tbe Post Oillue Department was sent for, who, ou bis arrival, proceeded to investi gate the circumstances attend lag tbe robbery, and soon alter the Juulor clerk, named hyer, was arrested. The postmaster, Dr. John J. Jaques, after a tborougb investigation of tbe circumstances implicating Byer, declared that there was not the least reasou for holding him longer, and he was therefore promptly dlsobartred. The postmas ter and bis sou, a lad of about flfieon years, aud tbe chief clerk, are, with the Junior clerk, tbe only persons who have bad access to tbe post olllce. Tbe postmaster and others are satisfied of the entire Integrity of tbe chief uierk, and the lunlor clerk baa been shown to be Innocent. Tne question now is, who is tbe guilty party T Tbe special agent having tbls section In charge will be here to-morrow, and be will probably take control of tbe oftloe, aud juttlia:e the CCulr wore thorough ly.
