Secured by an Absolute First Lien Upon

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

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.

Increase.. 0,002 4,839 2,211 33 1,134 1.023
Rep. gain... 1,251 1,879 100
Thus it appears that the Republican candi
dates get, after a full, lair, aud unembarrassed
itebate ot political issues, a larger increase of
votes than the Democrats. This does not look
like a Democratic victory on tbe Congressional
issue, nor has it the most distant resemblance
to tbe supposed reaction against recoostrucMou.
lhe following figures show the result as a whole
throughout the State:
fxmgretsional Vote. Srp. Pun. Tntal

lb07 41.4.16 48,318 84,7S2
Increase 0.437 6.2y2 I5,(jju
Net Republican ga u. 8,235.
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.
There are over forty applicants for paymaster

The Lynching ItnuincNS.
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.

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 the greatest
tear that tils the mind of an Iudian is starvation.
Fetd him and he will bo contented. 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. Although It whs late in the season
when o eratlons on the reservation commenced,
jet a great deal has been ae.com pi isbed in ga'.b
ciing iu the Indians and settling them do tin."

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.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE II ILL MURDER,
Th Trial of George S. Twltchell, Jr.
For Conclusion of Yesterday'i Proceedings Mee
Third I'age.
rrrrn day's prockidinqs.
This morning, at tbe usual hour, the Court
met, and already every available seat was
orcnpkd. The crowd about the door-way
whs not to large as on the preoedlng days
of tbe trial, no doubt ibe result of the exertions
of the olilcers stationed there. Tbe prisoner,
a bereloiore, appeared confident and easy tn
mind, and talked willingly and easily with his
friends. After an hour's unaooountable delay
I he Commonwealth proceeded with the exami
nation of their witnesses.
George Bom men 'sworn Am an architect,
and have been in the profession about, fifteen
yeai; at tbe request of Mr. Hheppard I went to
ihe premises at the northeast corner of Tenth
e no l'lne street, and look some measurements
ou tbe 27th of November: Mr. O'Hyrne, tbe pri
soner' counsel, and a iloteottve were with ine;
Mr. O'Ry me let us enter; I tools various msa
sureincnts, and lrotn Oiem drew this plan.
(A lari;e plan was here exhibited lj the Jury
ami explained by tbe wUness )
From the pavement to the wludow Bill is 12
feet: the dlstanco fro'n the head of tho sof to
tl wail is ten feet; (a number of large-sUed
pbctogtApbs of the house were here slto va to
the Jury ); there is a tree In the yard bestdeCthe
neat gate; 1 do not recollect seeing any ash
barrels near the tree; the staircase U about
three feet six Inches wide; the dining-room
door and tbe others In the main building are
thick and heavy.
Daulel Dealer sworn I recollect this marler,
at tbe corner of Tenth aul Plue street; I ut
cmlPg down Tenth street about 9 i) o'clo:
bat evening,-and when I h.nd got about twa
doors below Clinton I met a man who made a
remark, calling ray attention to Mrs. Hill's
bone : I went to the place, aud fouud a womta
standing on the step: I entered the house, a-id
a friend, who was with me, went for a doctor;
I found the hall dark, but the klioueu
lighted; tbe body or Mrs. Hill was lying on tne
aula, and Mr. Twltchell, the prisoner, at the
head, bathing it; no one else, except myself,
were there; he said nothing to me, bat I ob
served to blm, "Tuts ii an awful thing; bow did
it happen t" He said, "We found her in the
yard;" tbe bell rang, and he said, "For God's
sake open that back gato and let tbe doctor
in," but instead of going totbegite, I wont
to tbe front door, and Just as my hand was oa
ibe knob the gas In the entry was lighted by a
woman, who ran up stairs, exclalmiug "O my
God !" The prisoner was bathing the wounds
with what seemed to me to tie a white hand
kercblef, saying repeatedly, ' O, my God! my
poor mother 1" be continued to do this uutll he
was ai rested; at the proposition of someone, I
went ont into tbe yard with Otlloer Howard,
who bad come in at the door;
my friend also came Into the house
with Officer Howard: after I went to the front
door to let tnese gentlemen in I remained
In tbe kitchen ten or fifteen mlri
ntes, and then we went Into the yard; my
Irlend, Mr. Leldy, Officer Howard, youu Mr.
Morreil.and myself went into tbe yard; the
Erlsoner did not go; I found out there a pool of
lood, when we came into the house 1 saw that
Officer Howard bad the poker In bis hand; I
saw blood on the poker, but did not n tice
whether it was coagulated; some one
then proposed to go up statm; I went up stairs
with Officer Howard, Mr, Leldy, and one or two
others whose names I do not reco leot; the pri
soner did not go up; but while we were in the
kitchen, before going up, some one remarked
"Tbis Is tbe thing that did tbe deed," speaking
of the poker; this was loud enough for every
one there to have beard H: I recollect no reply
toll; no questions were asked by the prisoner
when we came In from the yard; he was still
standing at Mrs. Hill's head: tbe proposal to go
up stairs was sufficiently loud to have
been heard by all In tne room; we went up the
hall stairway, leaving the prisoner la the
kitchen; we entered the dining-room; I cau't
say who led the party upstairs; it seeinud to
me that the gas was turned right low in the
dining room; this was a drop light from a
chandelier; some one also had a oandle; those
&htad of me went out of tbe dining-room luto
the little room back, and found the wludows
open, and the blood wo tracked
blood from tbe window In the back room to the
sofa la the dicing-room; there was a oushlou
on tbe end of the sofa which had blood upon
H ; tbere was blood upon the floor beneath the
same end that bad tbe euahloa onii; 1 saw
blood on the Pine street wall; the drops of blood
on mat wail seemed to extend two or three feet
above the sofn; I did not make a minute ex
amination of this, nor did I take any noMoe of
the Tenth street wall or the chairs; we
then went down the front stairs Into
tbe kitchen, where the prisoner still wax, and
the officer arrested him; be was standing at her
bead bathing it; I heard blm make no Inquiry
as to what we bad found up stairs; I heard him
say nothing at. all; the offiuer arrested him and
they went up'-taire together; 1 remained In the
kileben three or four minutes until they came
down; be tonic au overcoat from the hall, aud
myself and Mr. Leldy went with blm to fie
Htatlon House; Mr, Leldy and I came
back with Oftleer Howard, and seve
ral other officers remained a few min
utes and then went home; the prlsouer
that night had on a dark sack coat, buttoned
up to tne breast; be had no collar oo; nisstilrt
looked to me like a white undersuirl; I oa
served no plaits or atndslult; I did not notice
whether be had on boots; his pants looked to
me of dark color; this bathing of the bead con
sisted iu putting the handkerchief lnt trie
water, on the wound, and Into the basin again,
backwards and forwards; the only doctor 1 saw
there was a Dr. Zantzluger; I do not reoolleot
that he said In tne presence of the prlsonur that
the body was dead; he satd something, but I
did not see tbe prisoner change his oonduot.
Cross-examined I cau't say who was the
woman who lighted the gas in the entry; It was
lighted while 1 bad my hand on the door-knob
to let ibe polloeman In.
Cbannlng Leldy sworn I was In tho neigh
borhnod of Tenth and Pine streets at vi o'elouk
on the night of this murder; I was with Mr.
Drsten; my attention whs first drawa to tnls
house by a gentleman coming up Tentn street,
who said tbat something was tne matter there,
as they were calling for a physician, and asked
me if I was acquainted in the neighborhood; I
answered tbat 1 was, and hastened oa to the
bouse, where we saw a lady standing on the
step: mv frlead entered the bouse, and I went
for Dr. Weaver at Tenth and Lombard; I then
started for Dr. Vandyke, when I was hailed by
Mr. Doster, and went into this bouse; 1 passed
through tbe ball Into the kitchen, and d I Hoov
ered the body of Mrs. Hill with a wound In the
rlgbt temple, lying upo t a settee; Mr. Twllchell
was at her head, bathing her temple; I think
no one else waa there at tbat time except Mr.
Doster and Officer Howard; when I entered the
room tbe prisoner asked me If I was the
Rhysiclun, aud i;repllod I was not; I put my
ngernpon tier pulse, and felt none; the rag
was removed fom tbe temple, which led me to
put my finger upon tbe wound, and It Bank; I
think I extended my finger In tbe second
Joint: I turned about and said, "Why, It's no use
bathing tbat woman's head, she Is dead, and I
think cbe has been dead some time;"
the body was cold; I stepped baok from
the body, and a proposition was then m vdo
by some one to ba Into the yurd; some four or
five went Into the yard; tbere was a caudle tn
the pontry; tbe prisoner did not go; there was a
clot of blood there, and we found pieces of oomb
in tbe blood.
