THE PACIFIO RAILROAD COMPLETED.
Tin last mil of the Pacific Railroad was laid
yesterday amid universal rejoicings In all parts
of the country, and the great work of the cen
tury U now practically completed. The Import
ance and necessity of such a road were recog
nized at an early period, and It is impossible to
ascribe to any one person the honor of having
originated the Idea. Thomas II. Benton, how
ever, was the first American statesman who took,
a live Interest in the matter, and a railroad from
the Atlantic to the Pacific was with him a pot
project, which he urged upon the Government
to undertake. When he retired from public life,
however, the time had not yet arrived when the
necessity for such a work was generally felt, but
within the lust ten years the growth of the
Western States irud Territories has been so rapid
that the great importance of a rapid means of
communication between the Eastern and West
ern boundaries of our empire has forced itself
upon the attention of the Government and people.
The work to be performed was of such magni
tude' that it was felt that aid from the Govern
ment would be necessary to complete it success
fully within a reasonable time. Congress ac
cordingly made an appropriation in 1853 for ex
plorations and t urveys, to be made under the
direction , of the War Department, from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific Ocean. As many
as nine different routes were accordingly ex
plored by the officers of the army between the
year 1853 and 1855. The selection of a route
was a matter of much difficulty, especially as
both the North and the South wished to have the
control of the road. The breaking out of the
Rebellion sottled the question so far as the voice
of the South was concerned, and a dispassionate
and unpartlsan consideration of the subject led
to the selection of a central line what is known
as the Platte River route, which was explored in
1855 by General Grenvllle M. Dodge, now Chief
Engineer of the Union Pacific Road.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company was In
corporated by Congress in July, 1863, but vari
ous delays occurred which put off prepa
rations for the commencement of the work
until September, 1865. The capital stock
of the company was fixed at $100,000,900;
the Government granted the right of way
over the public lands to the extent of
200 feet in width on each side of the road, be
sides a grant of ten alternate sections of land to
the mile on each side of the railroad, together
with the right to use timber and other material
necessary for construction. The Government
also granted in six per cent, bonds, interest
payable in gold, $16,000 per mile for the whole
road; but in the most mountainous parts, for 150
miles from the base of the Rocky Mountains,
the grant was $48,000 per mile. For the
termination of this section to the California line
the grant was 932,000 per mile. These bonds
were issued upon the completion of each section
of twenty miles, upon the certificate of three
United States commissioners. The land grants
were transferred in the same manner, and the
Government also granted the company the right
to issue its first mortgage bonds to an amount
equal to the bonds of the United States.
The first contract for the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad was made in August,
1864, but the work was not actually begun until
January, 1866. The first forty miles were com
pleted by May of that year, and by the first of
January, 1867, 305 miles were finished. The
California end was also rapidly pushed forward,
and it was expected that the whole work would
be completed by 1870, the time fixed by the
charter being July 1, 1876. It will be seen,
therefore, that the road has been built seven
year before the time fixed by the Government.
No important enterprise of modern times has
been advanced with the same rapidity, and this
is one of the most remarkable features of the
whole affair. The last rail, however, has now
been laid,; 0d ThomaB II, Benton'e dream has
become a reality. The results which will flow
from this enterprise it is impossible to esti
mate. It will become the highway for the com
merce of Asia, and scatter over our continent
the wealth of the Indies. In its unfinished
state the earnings by the way business alone
during the year 1868 were over $5,000,000, and
the traffic over the whole line must in a few
years grow to immense proportion, which can
scarcely bo calculated at the present time. The
completion of the Pacific Railroad is an occasion
for real rejoicing to every America citixen: our
Pacific States and Territories are no longor
foreign countries, but the Eastern and Western
confines of the American Union are now bound
by a link of Iron which will, more than any
thing else, convince them that their interests
are identical.
ABSENCE OF DIGNITY IN PUBLIC LIFE.
TnrniB is a near and immediate connection be
tween the manners and morals of a people. A
recent amusing article on "Fashion," in the
Atlantio Monthly, shows that the various stages
of national progress through which mont of the
v..PnnAn ninnle have passed can be detected by
their change of fashions in dress. There Is a
great deal in this theory, but mere is mucn more
i ih vtIch.1 manners of any particular ag.
The article in the magaxlne may show the great
effect produced by one lasnionaoie coxcomo mi
nt a. nation, but how much more pow-
erful is the effect of one bad man on popular
feeling and one course man on me popular
. ,r I rtf late. America has been alllictcd

with a President who was a happy combination
of the dogmatical and the vulgar, a curious
nf darlnz and coarseness.
Mr Andrew Johnson, by his example
and precepts, has done more injury to the man
..i ,..,r ruw.nlfl than any other man of the cen
tury The absence of popular respect for olhcial
life must in a great degree be imputed to him.
But he in turu can shield himself by the doe
trine that there is, and has been for years an
utter lack of dignity in all public lite. This

tive? The Senate of thn Tfnitiwi fliiim i aim
later, found acting in a manner at once outrage
ous ana startling. Tno recent conduct of that
body, instigated by Mr. SiM-airim. of R'tnrin la.
land, would bo viewed as disgraceful in a lyceum
uieuung; inaeca, , no well-conducted country
lyceum would for a moment submit to any such
behavior on the part of iU members. A Sonator,
through some fiction usually, termed a "grave
Senator," makes an address to tho highest legis
lative body in tho land, in which ho denominates
one of his brother Senators as an impostor
and a cheat, and two other of his follows
as "dogs" to which one of the christened
canines retaliates in language just as disgraceful,
if not as insultinc. Throughout all of it nn
attempt apparently Is made to check the fiery
member, nor did the other Senators do niio-ht tn
vindicate the dignity of tho body except to eek
to patch up the dlxgrace after nil wa over. As
if to add a yet further shame to thn rntirnA nf ttm
upper house, the two Senators who thus grossly
insulted eaen other wrote letters saying that the
remarks niaae did not apply to- each other,
although it Is evident, from the- nature-of the
occasion and the remarks, that the application
was personal.
The House of Representatives, during the last
session, was, on several occasions, a "bear
garden." On the day when the eloctoral vote was
counted, it presented a spectacle which caused
nothing but shame. To see a member quarrelling
and wrangling with the Vice-President is bad
enough for any country, yet this was the eight
exhibited last February. This is but type of a
number of similar actions which show the lack
of dignity in the House. Tho benchi is-also-to
be Included. In New York city we see an in
stance of a judge on the bench, calling Uie attcn
tion of the Court to the color of a convict's hair,
and telling him that he should be employed as
one of the Female Forty Thieves, that he could
rival Lydia Thompson, and then jocosely calling,
him "a liar." This is the dignity of the ermine !
This is the kind of actions which are to cause
profound respect to be accorded to. the wearers
of judicial robes! Can we any longer wonder
that public respect for office has turned Into
public contempt ? It seems unnecessary to fol
low the parallel further. Why descend to tho
State Legislature, when the exhibitions of inde
cency in that body are not exceptional, but uni
versalwhen, if coarseness was its only fault, we
would transform what is now our Belial into a
Gabriel.
From what we have said and the witnesses we
have cited, it is too p!ain that the condition of
official life Is deplorable. There is none of that
hauteur which become station. There Is noue
of that respect which a people should show to
their public servants. Familiarity and contempt
too frequently are the feelings, and for this the
public men of tho nation solely have themselves
to thank. They have been the cause of their own
downfall. In the days of the Adamses, Madison,
and Monroe, all know how differently- official
position was estimoted. Then it was respect
and regard. The difference is due, not to the
nconle. but to the officers: irnd- If wn trnnlH

TUE CUSTOM HOUSE APPOINTMENTS.
A paragraph appended to the llstof new Cus
tom House appointments made by the Collector
of the Port of Philadelphia, which we published
yesterday, contains an inadvertent error, which
may, we tear, create a false impression. It
states that the Collector "has altogether about
213 appointments at his disposal, and that he has
thus far disturbed only 09 of the attaches of tho
establishment." We have since learned that the
whole number of Custom House officials subject
to removal by the Collector Is only about 165,
and in removing ninety-nine-of these appointees,
or fully three-fifths, Mr. Moore has made as
many changes as a due- regard for the
public service and for the character of a number
of the old incumbents will permit. A total
change of officials in the Custom House at tho
outset of an administration, would necessarily
subject the public service to serious hazards,
and cause heavy losses to the Treasury as well
as great inconvenience to importers. Special
knowledge and qualifications are required to
fill come of the posts, and with an entirely new
set of officials the utmost confusion and the most
dangerous disorder would prevail. No collector,
however strong hie partisan attachments, has
ever ventured upon a complete and uuivoumU
change immediately after his accession to power,
and in every complicated department of tho
Government at least a few of the old wheel
horses are Invariably spared.
The fact xhould he borne in mind, also, that
the new Collector la not only subject to the
restriction we have already mentioned for his
immediate predecessor, Mr. Cake, retained and
appointed a large number of Republicans who
have never faltered in their allegiance to the
party, and who have claims upon Its confidence
which cannot be wisely ignored.
Mr. Moore has not hesitated to remove every
incumbent who was offensively Identified with
Andrew Johnson's treachery, and he has made
the most strenuous efforts to distribute his pa
tronage wittely. It was utterly impossible to
avoid disappointing many worthy men. The
applicants were so numerous that ho was obliged
to turn hundreds away empty-handed; and with
the limited amount of patrouago at his disposal,
it was utterly impossible for him to reward more
than a small portion of those who had unqnes
tionable claims to recognition. He has done
his best, and faithfully discharged his onerous
task In as satisfactory a manner as was possible,
in view of it numerous difficulties and embur-
rarsments.
Wo understand that ho now considers bin task
fully completed, and any efforts to secure addi
tional changes will only cause mutual annoy
anee. Those who seek appolntmeuts must look
for them elsewhere, aud they will best promoto
their interests by directing their appeals for
office to some other branch of public service.

TUB FINE ARTS.
The rhilndrlphla Arthtta the Art Auction.
An article which appeared in the AfcrtA Amrriran a
few days ago, entitled "Philadelphia as anJArt Mar
ket," and which has been copied by other papers, wo
believe is calculated to leave an erroneous impres
sion on the mind of the public. Some of the argu
ments ana statements are at singular variance with
the real facts of the case a we understand them.
Without doubting that our- contemporary has en
deavored to set forth the subject according to its
real merits, the article was evidently written with
out a thorough knowledge on all the points dis
cussed, and its ulterior purport appeared to be to
defend the Academy of Fine Arts against the
charge brought against it by the artists, that it has
turned Its galleries into an auction mart for foreign
pictures.
The Academy of Fine Arts occupies a peculiar po
sition ; It is ostensibly an American, and distinctively
a Pennsylvania school of art, and it certainly needs
no grsat amount or argument to prove that its
principal duty is to foster and encourage native
art. If it were not an academy if It were merely a
combination of private gentleman for the purpose of
trading in art productions the ease would be vastly
different, and no one would have a right to complain
If nothing but foreign werks were ever admitted to
Its galleries. The Academy, however, is a chartered
Institution, professedly established for a particular
purpose, aud all its claims to the regards of the pub
lic are based upon Its pretensions, as an art school.
When the Academy, therefore, lets out its galleries
for auction purposes, it degrades itself and the
cause which It makes a pretense of supporting.
Pieture selling, whether by auction or otherwise, is a
perfectly legitimate pursuit, and; there are gentlemen
engaged In It in this city who have the esteem and
confidence of both the artists and) tbe public Indeed,
matters have come to such a pass, that very many of
oar artists would rather send their works to Messrs.
Karle, Ilaseltlne, or Robinson, and trust to their
judgment in banging them judiciously, rather than
to entrust them to the tendor mercies of the Aca
demy directors. The distinction la this case is Jeer-
tainly not difficult to understand
The position of the artists with regard to foreign
art has been misstated in the article to which we
allude, as it has habitually been by those who at
tempt directly, orilndirectly, to. defend the policy of
the Academy of Fine Arts. No man professing to
be an artist, who has talent enough to produce a pic
ture that Is worth the canvas, it is painted upon,
objects to the Introduction of foreign works. On
the contrary, the pictures of the best European
painters are always welcomed here and eagerly
studied. The artists, however, do object, and
rightly, to their own works being put up against the
ceiling, or down on the floor, or in the worst
possible light, at the Academy exhi
bitions, In order that foreign works
belonging to the directors and their friends may
have all the choice positions; and they are justly In
dignant that the galleries of the Academy should be
turned into auction rooms for the sale of pictures of
any kind, foreign or native.. There have been ge
nuine exhibitions at the Academy, occasionally, com
posed exclusively of foreign works, which have not
only not been objected to by the artists, but have
been appreciated and enjoys i more heartily by them
than by any other class of our citizens. The exhibi
tion of English works whtck took place some eight
years ago gave our artist a rare opportunity to
study the peculiarities of a certain school of
foreign art, as represented In IU best works; and if
such exhibitions were niore frequent, so long as they
did not Interfere with tbe legitimate functions of the
Academy, no sensible man and the majority of the
artists are sensible men would offer the least objec
tion to them, but, on tho contrary, would welcome
them for the opportunlttea they a (lord for study.
DurlDg the past winter two of the galleries of the
Academy were entirely unoccupied except for auc
tion purposes, and, a& we exolalned in an article
published at the time of the closing of the schools at
the end of March, the classes were conllned to dark,
dismal, underground quarters, which would have
been submitted to cheerfully if there had been
nothing better to oiler, but which, under the circum
stances, were anything but creditable to the insti
tution. The idea of holding auctions, and especially of
foreign works, weuld be received with astonishment
and wrath if proposed In any European academy,
and it is only because our artists have no Interest or
rights in the Pennsylvania Acadumy that the
directors are bound to respect, that such things
are allowed here. If the press, instead of
patting thU decrepid Institution on the back,
or passing over Its shortcomings In silence, would go
to work auJ endeavor to produce a reformation in its
way of doing business, we might expect to have an
art school in Philadelphia that would be worthy of
the nam. Until very lately.nothing whatever has beeiti
said ny tne newspapers about true deficiencies of tno
Academy. Our local critics have been content to vtoif.
the auuuai exnioition ana continent upon the works;
as toey nung, aim tne Acaaeujj has managed Its.ivf
falrs in its own way, and its, squabbles with the ar
tists have attracted no attention whatever outside
of a very limited circle. The people of this.cliy,
however, are beginning to. take some little Interest
In art subjects at the present day, and the conse
quence is that the Aeortemy suddenly received a
rude shock by the expe which followed the discre
ditable entente of lost ywar, and it has beguM to open
its eyes and to find Itself about one hummed years
behind the age in all Its Ideas. That the Academy
ever will be worthy of its name uudor Its present
system of muuagement we do not believe; aud as the
importance and necessity for a properly organized
school of art are increasing every day, we call upon all
whotake any interest In art, as a meajis of education
aud culture, to aid in bringing about a change as
speedily as possible.
