who 1ms had much experience in tho building of

merits, ano nave wuritcu uiiijcuiiv mm iauu
fuHv. Secrecy was enjoined upon all hands, but
Ifor what reason cannot be understood. Surely
tlie enterprise is vast, important, anu is one in
which the general public has deep and abiding
interests. It shows one thing that the very
object which was sought to be accomplished has
been defeated by the singular mode adopted;
and what odium surrounds the undertaking has
come from a suspicion that all Is not right in a
work which it is necessary to conceal. Perhaps
the company was afraid of jealous capital, of
grasping politicians, or local lutcricrence. m
cither case the action has been Injudicious.
THE 1'UKfEHT COMJITIOK OF THE TUNNEL.
The tunnel has now advanced to Barclay street.
opposite the corner of the Astor House. The
mason won: iouows tue suieid and Keeps it
pace, and the masonry Is never six inches be
hind the shield. The latter is tha faithful watch
1ok of the former always at its heels. There
4a no chance for any earth to fall from the inter
vening distance, and tuns everything is rendered
secure, lne mason woru is a penect circle, ex
ecuted by skilled masons, of a thickness of nine
inches, of bricks on end, closely cemented and
Accurately fitted.

get a base for the transmission of passengers a
substantial tloor, eighteen inches from the lowest
point of the bottom arch, will be laid. On this
lloor is to be a railroad track of iron of a guage
of about three feet. The car traverses this
track, and Is to be made of wood and light Iron.
it wui scat cignt persons, and tue iare, tnongu
not fixed, will be nominal, probably ten cents.
The car, it should be understood, will be closely
fitted to the tube, so that no air can escape.
The car resembles a box made in the shape of
an old-fashioned wagon top, and has attach
ments and running gear of the lightest descrip
tion. As many cars as the public demand calls
for will be provided. Besides the car a small
tube of a diameter of two feet, made of iron,
will ran the entire length of the tunnel for the
E transportation oi small packages, in tlie centro
of the tunnel.
. HOW TASbENGEKS WILL BE PltorELLED.
The engine Is manufactured by a prominent
engineer, of eighty horse power, a model of
compactness and symmetry. The engines will
be situated in the cellar of Devliu's store
together with the boilers.
The blower Is the main feature of the whole
affair, and will be the lungs of the travelling
public. Boot is the Inventor. It is a pressure
blower, which forces the air behind the car into
the tunnel by two sectional faus, and supplies
80,000 cubic feet a minute, and Is one of the
most powerful in the world. It does not work
I en the vacuum prlneiulc. Such a force will
Irropel the car 100 miles an hour. No souud
win take place in tlie tube, as there will be no
resistance in front of the car ot any moment.
The air, therefore, cannot be compressed, be
cause of a free outlet.
The line will be broken Into sections, and
there will be opportune stations at convenient
points. Each blower will have Its own stated
work to do, and as two cars going in opposite
directions cannot be placed upon the track, the
time-tables will be computations of extreme
nicety. No danger can be apprehended from
the application of the pressure principle, which
Is superior to its aulipodc, both lu safety and
'power. The blower is now belnir placed lu
(position, but tho engines are not ret com-
picicu. me uoiiers, ui new ucitign. are ueiug
made at Boston. There will be no conductors on
the cars, but at the stations.
The cars, which are to be noiseless, elegantly
fnruished, and lighted by gas, will be well ven
tilated, and a delightful nook wherein to travel
with a velocity second only to lightning. When
finished it will constitute a safe and permanent
wode of travel that has no counterpart In the
country. It Is a great and ilattcring work. The
opinions of scientific men are unanimous In Its
favor. They pronounce with one accord that
the best thing for the relief of tula bland is now
feeing; burrowed underground.
A GLANCE AT Till: FUTURE.
The injurious effects of the shiftless pace of
street railroad cars and stages have been fre
quently condemned. It is, beyond measure, the
worst evil of the 1,200,000 Inhabitants of New
York and tho surrounding country, to whom
time is even more than money. Therefore, any
mode that facilitates cltv locomotion, that Dro-

is safe, without exorbitant fares, and noiseless,
adds millions to tho future wealth of the
metropolis. This the Pneumatic Transit Com-
pany promise to establish, and their energy thus
far points to a gratifying suecesu. In
five minutes a citizen residing at Harlem can be
deposited at the City Hall, and ten miles stand
on the correlative side of tho equation equal to
ten minutes. When the work shall bo completed,
a gentleman could accept invitations to dine at
half a dozen tables, and do Justice to them all in
point of fashionable punctuality, A clerk In the
morning can tumble lazily out of bod and be at
his desk while he is now putting on his boots; a
ticrman can descend beneath the river to drink
Jersey lager, and the Park Is before every door.
Tedious time is reduced, noise and din elimi

A W110NW RIGHTED.
pirnntor ltomi nnd the Impeachment Trial.
The following correspondence, lust published,
explains itself:
United States Senate Chavbbh, Wash
ington, Jan. 4, 1870. Cornelius Wendell, Esq.,
Washington, lJ.U.eir:inc uincinnau vom
mercial, of the 25th of December, contains a
report of an interview, alleged to. have been had
with you by a reporter of tho New York Fun, In
which you are represented as having said, in
speaking of the trial of the impcaehmcnt of
Andrew Johnson, that "there were three Re
publican Senators who would vote lor acquittal
from conscientious convictions;" that those threo
were "Trumbull, Fcsscndcn, and Urimes;" that
"somebody was supplied very liocrauy wun more
substantial arguments to Induce the other four
votes, and there Is every reason to believe those
arguments were tho inlluential caase of the votes
being given as they were;" and that "most
Senators nave a confidential menu who biiajuub
to these little outside business arrangements for
them." . ,
As these statements charge by unmistakable
Inference that my action in that cause was In
duced by a money consideration, I am con
strained to take notice of them, aud to ask you
the following questions:
First. Did you make, in the statement attri
buted to you, the words of which arc partially
quoted above ?
Second. Have you any reason to believe that
money was paid to me by any person in consi
deration of mv vote for the acquittal of Mr.
Johnson, or "that that vote was induced by Im
proper lullucnccs of any nature whatever ?
Third. Have yon any reason to believe that
any person received money with the under
standing or expectation that my action in that
matter would be influenced thereby; and if so,
who ?
Fourth. Have you any reason to believe that
any person was olTcred money, or any other
consideration, with tho understanding or ex
pectation that my action would be influenced
thereby; and If so", who, and what wai the con
sideration ?
As this matter has again been brought promi
nently to public notice In the pretended revela
tions attributed to you, I shall now seek re
dress In the courts, if necessary. I trust you
will answer these interrogations fully and ex
plicitly. You must see, as I do, that it is due to
myself and to the public that you should divulge
all facts in your possession, and even grounds
lor suspicion that have any relation wnatever to
mvsclf. Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, E. (J. Boss.
Washington, D. C, January 5, 1870. Hon.
E. G. Boss Sir: Yours of tins date received.
In reply to j-our first qncry, I unhesitatingly
reply in the negative.
To your second, I would etate that I have no
reason to believe that any money was paid you
in consideration of your vote, or that any im
proper influences were exercised to procure it.
My belief is directly to the contrary.
To your third I reply that I have no reason to
believe that any person whatever received
money with the understanding or belief that
It was to be used in affecting your vote. My in
formation and belief are the reverse
To your fourth and last inquiry, I state that
Perry Fuller was offered several thousand dol
lars, with- the expectation that he could Influence
your action in the premises. I state further,
that Fuller declined receiving it, replying to
the offer that he could not accomplish anything
therewith, and that your action ou the question
of impeachment could not be affected thereby.
Very respectfully yours, C. Wendell.
SINGULAR SCENE, . . ...
A I.ndy Attempt to Nell the State of Maine
SlriiDtfu Conduct of l.eicinliUor.
An Augusta letter-writer to the Portland
Argus 6ays:
There was a singular and unfortunate scene
occurred this morning at the Stato House.
Mrs. Jane P. Thurston, of Portland, had caused
notice of a sale of the State of Maine, its rights,
appurtenances, etc., to be posted up on the doors
ot the State House, und a little before 10 o'clock
she ascended the Speaker's rostrum and pro
ceeded, in a manner worthy of Henry Bailey
in his palmiest days, to sell the State. One
Senator bid 15,000,000, aud another $17,
000.000. A Keprescutative bid $20,000,000, till
at last she made one better and struck it off
to herself and took her seat lu the Speaker's
chair. As fur as this all went well; but the time
for the opening of the session had bow arrived,
and Mrs. Thurston was politely requested to
come down from her position, but she declined
to do so, saying she had bought In the State and
must stay aud Keep her position. Tho Clerk of
the House of representatives, presiding, then
promptly ordered the messeugers to take her
out vi it artiii. A scene of treat confusion
euHiied. Mrs. Thurston declared that she would
not remove from her place, and especially that
she would not be removed by force. Tho mes
sengers secured her, and endeavored to remove
her. She made considerable resistance, and said
that she would move if the olQcers would let her
alone, but the latter were again ordered by the
Clerk to clear the desk and procure order, so
that the organization of the House might be
proceeded with. The members began to beg
Mrs. Thurston 'to go out quietly. Some
members began to be greatly excited, and
the feeling was decidedly tfnpleasant all
round. It was indeed sad to sco a woman
In so humiliating a position. She grasped
the face of cue of the messengers very
fiercely, and only through the interposition
of Mr. Vinton, of Gray, and some other gentle
men of Portland, Mrs. Thurston was at last per
suaded to retire to the Secretary's room, and
the organization was proceeded with, but the
unpleasant feeling was so great that the prayer
of ltcv. Mr. Bingham, which was the first ser
vice of the organization, was hardly listened to,
In spirit at least. By degrees the feeling sub
sided, but before the morning session closed the
subject was taken up at every dinner-table in

by all as a very unfortunate circumstance, be
cause the subject ot it was a woman, and one
who is deemed to be demented upon one sub
ject, although perfectly sane upon all others.
Mrs. Thurston was afterward Invited to go to
dinner at the Central House by Colonel Drew.
Secretary of State, who said that Mr. Harris, the
polite Superintendent of the Stato Buildings,
should be kept in as keener of the State property
in trust for Mrs. Thurston, or the rightful owner
thereof. We saw Mrs. Thurston in tha State
Library in the afternoon, still looking up legal

GEARY.
The Hero ol Iookout ftlountnln Compared to
Lord Nelnou-lle Is Pretention nnd Fanny.
Governor Geary Is a pretentious, fussy sort of
public functionary. He Is all the time attitudi
nizing. Ho is nothing If not ttatwqw. He
seems always to be standing for his photograph.
He Is never happy out of his regimentals. As a
a soldier, he was arrogaut aud boastfut, and
cannot help being so in tho station In which the
money of the Union Leagues has put him and
retains him. These are the characteristics, wo
regret to say, of his recent executive mani
festo. It is Geary all over. The mes
sage opens with a tremendous explosion
of piety, winding up with a grotesque
anti-climax, where be tells tho Legislature
that he trusts their action, during tho coming
session, will be equally acceptable to "tho
Almighty and our common constituents." Ho
informs the public that it has been the practice
of all his predecessors, from "the great and
pious William Penn" downwards, to say their
prayers in public. This may be so; but there is
a vague impression on our minds, albeit not so
familiar with Pennsylvania history as Governor
Geary, that William Penn and the denomination
of Christians to which he belonged never have
been much addicted to the ostentatious use of
the Almighty's name, and that It would puzzle
any one to cite an instance of their having been
so. Lord Nelson and Governor Geary were and
Arc very fond of it. This, however, is a small
matter.
We do not, of course, follow the Governor la
all his local suggestions; coufesslng, however,
our amazement at the tirade which, lu connec
tion with the pending election of State Treasu
rer, ho fulminates against his own party and
the present Republican incumbent. "Unlawful
uso of Stato funds;" "subsidies from sources that
dare not be revealed;" "acts positively prohi
bited UjUaw uuder penalties of no ordinary mag
nitude;"" "disgraceful scrambles;" "political and
moral debauchery;" "murkinessof tho polluted
atmosphere of the past;" such are the choice
phrases, literally quoted, which Governor Goary
bestows on his own party, which for tho last six
or seven years, by annual election, has had con
trol of tho Stato Treasury. Need any one won
der, if one tithe of what he says be true, that
Pennsylvania credit is sometimes relatively
damaged In tho markets of the world?
It Is in this connection that we have a graver
criticism to make. We have read and reread
this message with infinite care, and, though it
discusses matters of national finance, from be
ginning to end there is not one single word in
lavor ot the inviolability ot tue public laitu or
the honest way of paying the public debt. Not
ono word or letter ! Senator Sherman or Gene
ral Butler might withperfeet consistency say
all which Geary says. The ghost of Thaddeus
Stevens, tho great greenback teacher, is in arms,
and awes Geary. Let us hear no more, then, of
Democratic repudiation. While Governor
Hoffman speaks out like a man on this subject,
the radical Geary is as dumb as tho grave.
We have no desire to do Mr. Geary injustice;
and If any one of his friends the l'ublio
ledger or the J'rt'ss, for example will point
out our error on this head, we will cheerfully
correct it. In a Pennsylvania Governor 6ucn
silence Is especially mischievous when we re
member her' legislation of years ago, when the
arrears of interest were arbitrarily reduced and
her antecedent loans taxed, and the insulting
letter which, at the beginning of our civil trou
bles, the then State Treasurer wrote to a distin
guished New York banker who simply asked for
j I i r .i
ciul troubles is "an expansion of the bank cur
rency;" "no contraction ef greenbacks;" "liberal
appropriations (by Congress, of course) to rail
roads, manufactures, and every project that will
afford employment to toiling millions;" and (!)
a "natural and constant return to specie pay
ments.'' On this neutral mixture prescription
we have no comment to make.
Silent as to tho public faith, Governor Geary
is loud-mouthed as to the Gem of the Antilles
and the immediate recognition aud early acqui
sition ot Cuba; in lact, so emphatic as to eall
forth from the press an earnest rebuke for his
impatience. J 10 is, in truth, in absolute revolt
against the Federal administration; and, though
bis historical precedents of recognition as to
what he calls "the trench revolution, " Urecce,
Hungary, and Poland, are strangely muddled
up, there is no mistake as to the desired result
fco much for Geary. JV. Y. World lo-day.
ECCLESIASTICAL ESCAPADE.
A Well-known Clergyman Elopes with
Young I,ndy of Hi t-'ongreuntlon.
On Friday evening, a promlneut clergyman in
this city, who has hitherto been deemed a godly
man aud true, appointed a meeting with a young
lady of his congregation, and immediately pro
ceeded with her somewhither, but where no one
knows. It is believed they left the country,
The evening before this departure he packed his
trunk, and. after his lamlly had retired.
supposing the good man of the house was
preparing his sermon for Sunday, he quietly
took his trunk out of the front door aud had
it conveyed somewhere, to await his arrival the
following night. Friday evening he remained
out quite late, and at midnight, as he had not re'
turned, his wife became apprehensive of his wel
fare. At about this time the mother of the
young lady, who had not returned, also heard of
her pastor's absence, and that fact, taken in
connection with the fact that for somo time past
he has been quite attentive to her daughter,
forced upon her miud the unpleasant belief that
the missing parties had left In each other a com'
pany.
I- urthcr revelations made the uncertain con
lecture a veritable fact. Saturday everythlug
was quietly kept from all ears. But yesterday
the llock gathered in their church without their
shepherd. The Bishop of the Diocese took the
pulpit and announced the mysterious disappear
ance to no one. A pretense was made for the
absence, which satuued tho parishioners.
The clergyman is well known in this city.
and his genial and courtly manners have made
him numerous friends. He is a fine-looking
man of thirty years of age, tall, and possessed
of a magisterial dignity which makes him dis
tingue. The lady is quite pretty, and belongs to
a highly respectable and wealthy family. Her
mother had prudently Intimated to her that the
attentions of the minister were more than a strictly
Eastoral duty called for, but the young lady
eedednot. She once told her mother that tbepas
tor was quite flattering in his remarks to her, but
that anything harmful would grow out of it was
not considered, nor did it enter into their minds
to comprehend. The clergyman has a wife and
two children, whom he professed to love de
votedly, and his action will not belie his nrofes
bIods. Never has his name been associated with
anything that could blemish. His friends can
dwell on that only as a fond memory now. His
wife is In great grief, and thinks that he must
be temporarily insane, and that It is not the de
vclopmaut of an evil heart A'tio York Time
to'tlay.
