PACIFIC RAILROAD RONDS. r'lnt Mortgage Thirty-Year GOLD OBLIGATIONS of tub Central Pacific Railroad Co, Secured by an Absolute First Lien Upon the most Desirable Fortiori of the Great National rciilc R.R. Line. Dkab Biik This great enterprise Is approach Ins completion with a rapidity tbat astonishes the world. I-ess than 400 miles remain U be built to connect the Central raclflo Railroad with the Atlantio lines. The greater part of the Interval is now graded, and H Is reasonably wpeoled that the TIIUOUUH CONNECTION BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO AND NKW YORK WILL J5E COMPLETED .BY JULY N FXT. The western portion of the Line, known as the CKNTKAL PACIFIO RAILROAD, besides tiavlng the largest settlement, the richest mines, the most valuable lands along Us route is also built and completed as a first-class RU road In all respeots. belug constructed directly toy the Company themselves, without the later, wentlonof contractors, and In such a mauner as to Insure future stability, economy of opera. (Ion and the permanent value of the property. The report of the Special Comoilssloa 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. 8, la fall and speolno, and concludes as follows: "Heavy trains of rails, ties, and fuel are run. ning safely to the extreme end of the roa-l, four hundred snd foityilve (145) miles from Sacra, rnenlo Tne road Is being contracted in good Jaltn. in a substantial manner, without stiutof labor, material, or equipment, and is worthy of Its character as a great national work." By the aid ot the General Government, and valuable grants from California sources, the Company have already met the bulk of their expenditures, and have sufflolent oaau resources to enable them to finish their work vrtth 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 J additional, are all bought, paid for, and at hand for use. The speedy completion of 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 la Us In. fancy only, Is without precedent. THE GRCH3 EARNINGS FROM JULY 1 TO DEO. 1 WERE UPWARD OF $1,400,000 IN GOLD, of WHICH ABOUT ONE MILLION WAS NET PROFIT. This result was from local commercial business only, at a time when the Company felt com pelled to employ their available equipment, to a large extent, la 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 nejleot of the onormous freighting business seeking transit over the Road. At a late date there were i less than seventy, nine locomotives running on the rood, eighty more on the way, and over twelve huudred oars, to which the Company are constantly making large additions, bs that by the time the immense tide of THROUGH TRAVEL AND FREIGHT ACROSS THE AMERICAN CON TINENT shall be ADDED TO THE NATURAL AND EXPANDING LOCAL BUSINESS, and the energies of the Company, with their lm mense asclllties, can be devoted to the regular traffic, THEIR EARNINGS WILL BE ON AN UNEXAMPLED SCALE, and their Securities be nrnked AMONG THE M03T POPULAR IN THE WORLD. The current Interest Liabilities upon the Bonded Debt, upon an average of three huudred miles In operation during the above period were less than 83.3O.9O0. The issue of the Company's FIRST MORT GAGE BOND3 is limited by aot of Congress, and will not equal one-third the cost and value of the property npon which they constitute the nrst Hen. The greater part of this loan Is already marketed, and is held as a permanent invest went by the capitalists of this country and Europe.

A DHnstrout Gale. From the London Globe, Dec. 7. yesterday a heavy southwest gale rauel in the British Channel ami caused several serious chipping casualties on the coast. In Had arouud Lomlou on Saturday, at various period during the duy, the wind was accompanied with heavy showers ot rain, nnd Its lorce was very great throughout the night. Yesterday tho wind wa aaain very strong, nnd there was heavy rata about noon. At niht the wind raged with great fury, and it is to be feared that lament able, accounts of wrecks and disasters will be received. The steamship Uibernla has pone down off the Irish coast.

The life-boat was launched Immediately, ;and succeeded in rescuing the rest of the people on board. On the other hand Mr. N. B. Downlutr, the honorable secretarv of the Penzauce branch ol the .National Lifeboat Institution, reports "that the seas were 60 tremendous on the first attempt that the noble boat was capsized.

CALIFORNIA. TbeOrrat Repnblicnn Reaction. From the Sacramento Union, Deo. 6. The to'al average vote of the State on Presi dential Electors is 108,636; for Congressmen the total Is 108,421. This probably Indicates a popu lation ot somewhere near COO.000, which is an average ol 6"4 per voter, acc irding to the last estimate of population In ban Francisco. In a political view, the result must be discouraging to the Democracy, despite their quo warranto aDd other weak devices to escape the conscious ness of overwhelming defeat. They have in creased their lat year's vote far less than the Republicans, and tbe large Democratic mijortty of last year has been completely wiped out. Tbun, counting the (Jorham and Kay voles together, the comparison is as follows: Rep. Tem Total vote in 1S68 64.671 61.002 For Governor la 1807 42,417 4 9U5 Incrense 12 127 4,157 Republican net gain 7 970 Out of a tot.il increase of 10.2H4 votes, the Re publicans get three-fourths. Should the great icaction we were told about go on at that rale. Democratic majorities in the future will bi bard to find even by figuring m advance. Our Demo cratic friends try to draw coosola'inn and hope fiom consideration of the Congressional voie, which they claim Is in their favor. But here, too, the actual count Phows a reaction against tbem since last year. There are Republic in gatus in every Congressional district, as lollows: i U-Hl Dit, Urtond I)itt, TMrd Dist. Jtr)i.

Under such circumstances, for Democrats to sue out a writ of inquiry about lraud is nearly as fublime in its impudence as the charge brought against Republicans by the proessional ballot-stufiers of the Sixth ward in New York city. We heartily wish there were some micro scopic grains of honesty about thli pretended desire to investigate fraud, it would be well to rale all that rotteuness clean out of both parties; but this work cannot ba expected of men who are more diligent and evince more zeal In trying to perpetrate new frauds than to nnearth old oue. On the whole, we think the Mate has gone (or Grant In epue of all posi. tively nilour Democratic friends could do to prevent it. WASHINGTON" AFFAIRS. 'o Denrili or Paymasters.

The lynching of the Reno brothers in Indiana recently is supposed by some to bo uuder con sideration by the State Department, with a view to the punishment of the lynchers, in vindica tion of a supposed pledge of our Government to the authorities of Canada that the Renos should be protected from the violence of citizens of Indiana. It does not appear that auy such pledge was given, bat steps were taken by our Government to prevent tbe prisoners trom mo lestation en route trom Canada to Indiana. Tobacco NelzureM. A report has been seot from this city to cer In in journals that C. E. Creecy, Esq., the newly appoiuted Bupervitor for Louisiana, is not enti tled to half the proceeds ot the tobueeo receutly seized at bis instance at Mew Orleans, on account of frauds ou the revenue, because of Mr. Creecy's position as Internal Kevenue Supervisor. There is no truth in the statement. Tbe Commissioner has made no such decision, theeflectot which would bo to induce super visors to consult the interests ot the tobacco and whisky rincs rather than tho interest of the Government. Mr. Creecy's reward for the New Orlcxns seizures will, it is expected, amouat to $30,0U). General Ilurncy on the Sioux Imllstn. The St. Louis ItepuWican says: "General W. P.

The General, we understand, will visit Washington before returning to the Sioux coun try, with a view of obtaining from Uoucress a rntification ot the Sioux treaty inalo at Fort Rice last July, and to await the adoption of such legislation as will enable tbem to carry out the work so auspiciously begun. An additional appropriation Is needed. The General has the utmost confidence in the success of tbe plan on the fcioux reservation.

He says he asrees with Wade In the assertion that it is our best policy to teed tbe Indian stall feed them Iced them at tho Filth Avenue Hotel it is cheaper than denting them. "Iu regard to the present condition of the reservations uuder charge of the Gentral, we have in a casual conversation obtained some interesting iuformatiou, much of It new, and lor which we are Indebted to the General's Secre tary, Colonel O'Comier. General Hrney had his headquarters fltieen miles below Fort 8ully, at a place called Peoria Bottom, named from the Belle Peoria, which was wrecked in the vicinity. It is located on the east side of the river, and opposite the reservation lauds. The location was selected in order to be shielded from the annoyance of too much Indian com pany, as they incessantly want to smoke aud have talks.

A Cold-Itlooded Murder at Maiden. Specxal Desjuxtch. to The Evening Telegraph. Boston, Dec. 22. One of the most cold, blooded and detestable murders we have been called on to chronicle for a long time was committed about a quarter before 3 o'c'ock this morttnir, the victim being Mr. David Faulkner, a night policeman of Maiden, nnd a much re spected citizen. Ho far as the tacts appear at present, it seems that two strangers, suspiclons-lookimr men, were observed to be lurking around the depo1 ot the Boston and Maine Railroad after the last taaln, which leaves Maiden at halt-past nlue had departed, but nothing was thought of the fact at the time, as it was supposed they would soon go away. The depot was closed, as usual, and all remained quiet until half-past two o'clock this morning, when Officer Faulk ner, in the course of his pattol, passed up Pica, sant street towards tbe depot, when he saw two men, supposed to be the two seen tho previoai night, near the shed opposite the depot build ing on the other side of the track. lie at once accosted them, asking them what they wanted there. Instead of replying one of them imme diately drew a pistol, and, firing, shot Mr. Faulkner through the heart, killing him in stantly, when the two turned and ran oif in tbe direction ot Med ford.
