INDIAN SU 11.11 ER
Just, after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in Haw,
There comes a festival season,
When nature Is all aglow—
Aglow wltn a mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of Spring—
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Hummer could bring
Home spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles tar-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The Sun from his clouthpill wed chamber
Smiles soft on a vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The Flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's a luminous mist on the mountains,
A light, azure haze in tile air,
As If angels, while haveuward snaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there;
The breeze is so Noll., so caressing,
It seems a mute token of love,
And floats to the heart Like a blessing
From some happy spirit above.
Theme days, no serene and no charming,
Awaken a dreamy delight—
A tremulous tearful enjoyment,
Like a. f stratus of manic at night;
We know they are fading and fleeting,
That quickly, too quicki , they'll end.
And we watch them with yearningstlectlon,
An at parting we watch a dear friend.
Oh! beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou favorite child of the year— i•
Thou darling whom liiature enricher
With gifts and adornments no dear !
Howlfam would we woo thee to linger
Os mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like thenweet haunts of Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy iontle.
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Dost thou a lod iffightness restore,
But thou bringest a world-weary spirit
Sweet, dreams of childine d (Thee more
Thy loveliness tills UH with memories
Uf all that wan brightest and best--
Thy peeve and serenity offer
A foretaste of heavenly rest.

Literary People Behind the Scenes.
The verdant have an idea that liteary
people are always under the influence
of " the divine afilatus ;" but, like the
curious female who gazed through the
bars of the doomed man's cell to gloat
over his situation, and was told by her
victim, that, although the gallows was
impending, " he couldn't cry all the
time," -they are doomed to disappoint
ment.
When ailiterary person's exhaustive
-work Is over, the last thing he wishes
to do is to talk book. The lust persoff
he wishes to meet is another unfortu
nate, who also has been cudgelling his
brains for Ideas. The pergon whom he
wishes to s•e most, if, indeed, he desire
to see anybody, is one who will stir up
his mentality least. The laurel-wreath
which the verdant suppose he settles
carefully and becomingly on Ills head,
before the looking-glass, ere he goes
forth, he would be glad to toss Into the
first ash-barrel; and, so fur from de
siring to regulate his personal appear
ance, according to the programme mark
ed out by the sentimental he feels only
an insane desire to be let severely alone,
and "let no fur caper," if, indeed, she
has not forgotten how.
He wants—this wise man—to hear
some merry little child sing :
" Hickory, diekory, dock ;
Tie mothie run up Ulu duck ;
The clock struck one,
An I down he run ;
Hickory, dickory, dock."
Or he wants to lean over a fence and
see the turnips grow. It rests him to
think that the fat, lazy pigs never think,
but lie winking their pink eyes forever
at the sun. In short, as I told you, he
wants just the antipodes of himself.
The sentimental will perceive from
this, the small chance they stand for
edification, or amusement, from " liter
ary people'' when oil' duty. Blithe
ladies will see how very jolly it must be
to marry a poet or tw author. But what
shall we say of " [iii situation," when
a literary man and a literary woman are
yoked? When the world abroad de
mands the best of each, and nothing is
left for home ? When in
stead of writing sonnets to each other,
and looking at the tIll;:Ao1110011 iu their
leisure moments, as the sentimental
have arranged it, they are too used up
to do anything but gape. When a
change of programme would not only
be a blessing, but absolutely necessary
to stave Mr a Coroner's Inquest. When
the sight of a hook to either, is like
water to a mad dog; particularly the
sight of their own books, which repre
sent such an amount of headache and
bother and sleepless nights, to enable a
critic to notice only a printer's mistake
in a date, which is generally set down
to the author's " want of knowledge of
his subject." When they wonder, iu
the rasped state of their nerves, what
life is worth, if it is tube forever pitched
up to that key. When they can't open
their mouths on any subject, without
perversely saying everything they don't
mean, and nothing that they du.
Ah ! then is the tithe for them to
catch sight of that athlete—the day
laborer, i❑ red flannel shirt sleeves,
whistling along home with. his tools.
Do you hear? Tools ! Happy man ! He
won't have to manufacture his tools be
fore he begins to-morrow's work. He
can pound away all day, and sing the
while, and no organ-grinder has power
to drive him mad. He don't know
what "nerves" mean.

Boy or Girl?
One day last week a babe, only a fews
days old, snugly enveloped and carefully
packed in a basket, was found on the
front steps of one of the Catholic insti
tutions of Cincinnati. Some little girls
carried it In to the good sisters who
immediately decided to care for the
foundling until it was reclaimed or
could be sent to the Orphan Asylum.
First, however, it was necessary to have
It baptized, and for this pious purpose it
was dispatched, iu charge of the little
girls, to the Father Confessor of the in
stitution.
Arriving at h s room, announcing
their mission, the good Father conduct
ed them to the chapel, and taking the
little "waif" in his arms, while the
young devotees looked up with all their
eyes, he asked the usual question, "Boy
or girl ?"
This was a poser. None could answer
it, and it was repeated.
"Don't know, your reverence," one
of the youngsters ventured to stammer
out.
" Thentakeitioutdoorsand examine,',
ordered the good father.
The girls departed and returned, and
in answer to the inquiry from the eyes
of the priestoue said "boy," and blushed
all over.
The ceremony of baptism was then
completed, and the girls, with their
Christianized charge bearing the name
of Saint of day, returned to the Sisters.
They inquire the name; said it was a
nice one, and hoped the child would
live to be worthy the name It bore, to
all of which the little girls dutifully re
plied, " Hope so." It was decided then
to send the waif to the Asylum, and for
this purpose appropriate clothing was
procured, in the arrangement of which
a startling discovery was made—the
• " boy " was a girl.
What was to be done Y It would never
.do to have a girl with a boy's name.
:•So, after some deliberation, a justifiable
:amount of rather grave amusement at
the awkwardness of the situation, and
the blunder of the young devotees, they
..were sent buck with their charge to the
: good Father to rectify the mistake. The
rite had been properly performed for
.the child; the name only was misap-
plied ; do with an innate enjoyment of
the fun of the thing, he gave a femi
nine termination to the masculine
name, and sent the party back to
trouble him no more on the question
of boy or girl.
Bees a Nuisance
'Me Harrisburg Telegraph says : By re
ference to our court proceedings, it will be
seen that the keeping of bees has been de
cided to be a nuisance. Some Ulna ago Au
gustus Banker entered complaint before the
Mayor, charging John Young with main
taining a nuisance in the shape of a lot of
flees. The honey-makers visited Banker's
store, and almost prevented the transaction
.of business therein. They intruded in every
part of the store, and made havoc of sugars,
candies, etc., kepton head. The case came
up for trial yesterday afternoon, and was
concluded this morning, whon the jury
rendered a verdict of guilty. It is therefore
settled matter that bees constitute a nui
sance when they intrude on the premises of
their keepers' neighbors.
VOLUME 68
The Perils of the Colorado Desert.
iFrom tae Alta California, Oct. 28.1
Mr. Levi Murphy, an old resident of
San Francisco, who arrived here from
Williams' Fork, Arizona, on Monday,
gives us the particulars of the death of
a young man from San Francisco, by
thirst ou the desert. Mr. Murphy and
the deceased—a young German by the
name of Parker—started from Willow
Springs, on the California side of the
Colorado river, twelve miles this side
of Bradshaw's Ferry, on foot, ou the
Bth inst., intending to make Chucol
walla, forty-seven miles on the road to
wards San Bernardino, sometime during
the following night.
On the road the young man told
Murphy that he was a deserter from the
Eighth cavalry, and that his parents
reside iu San Francisco, his father being
a musician. He said his age was about
twenty years, and that he deserted from
the vicinity of Prescott. They expected
to get water at Mule Springs, twenty
five miles east of Chucolwalia, but did
not Lind a drop. They stayed, however,
over night ut that point, having found
wet sand, and hoping to strike water
by digging after daylight on Monday
morning. Not succeeding, however,
they started on ; about nine o'clock the
young man gave out and laid down un
der a tree. Murphy gave him all the
water he had, and told him to remain
quiet where he was, and if he succeeded
in reaching Chucolwalla he would bend
au Indian back with water for him.
Murphy then started on but soon fell
down on the road from exhaustion, after
having thrown away his blankets, boots
and everything else which encumbered
his progress. He managed to crawl
under a tree, from which he made nu
merous unsuccessful eilbrts to get a fresh
start before night, the sun causing him
to faint every time. At length the cool
of night came on and raised his strength
to such au extent that he was able to
move along the road once more, and
ultimately to reach Chucolwalla about
daylight. on Tuesday morning, having
been all night traveling seven miles.
Murphy then sent au Indian back
with two canteens of water to the spot
where lie had left his companion. The
ludiau went back to the place and
found that the poor fellow had In his
delirium got up and wandered away
down the road towards La Paz, going
directly away from the water. The
Indian followed the trail for eight miles
and then returned to Chucolwalla. A
second party having been sent out
found the body of the unfortunate man
by the side of the road, about rive miles
west of the slough, sixteen miles from
the Colorado River. Had he remained
where lie was he would have been res
cued, and been able to keep on five miles
further lie would have found water In
abundance. He had hung to his
blankets—of which he had two pairs—
and all his other traps to the lust. In
dying he had moue his bed as if for
sleeping, and was found lying with his
head pillowed on one of the blankets
which he had rolled up for the purpose.
What little money he had was found
in his shoe. As he had stated that
he was a Catholic, Mr. Thomas
Matthews, who found the body and
buried it on a mesa by the side of the
road, erected a cross over the grave. Mr.
Murphy, who is an old frontiersman,
speaks of the heat on the desert as being
terrible iu the extreme, equal to any
thing he had ever seen in Arizona in
midsummer. The wind seemed hotter
than the still air itself, fairly blistering
Lie skin as it touched it. After lying sick
from his exhaustion and sufferings for
live days at Chucolwalla, he was able to
continue his journey, uud reached San
Bernardino, where he rejoined his wife,
who had crossed the desert before him.
At Dos Palmas, where Herman Eh
renberg was murdered by an Indian
lust year, on the desert near the Lake
of Salt, which once formed the upper
arm of the Gulf of California, there was
formerly a hot spring, beside which
stood a noble palm tree, one of those
from which the place took its name.—
The waters of this spring are so highly
charged with sulphur and soda as to be
nauseous to the taste to an intense de
gree. Last May,Fa spring of pure cold
water burst out near the hot spring
from the rugged volcanic rocks by
which the valley is surrounded. Five
days before Mr. Murphy arrived there
—about the 10th or Pith instant—an
earthquake of terrific violence shook
the whole face of the valley, and a large
brook of pure clear cold water broke out
from a wide fissure in the earth opened
by the shock. The water was still run
ning when Mr. Murphy left. There is
an active mud volcano but a few miles
below Dos Palmas, on the eastern side
of the Desert, and the whole locality
smells of the infernal regions.
Ardor Cooled.
On Sunday evening a young man in
Toledo, 0., whom,
for the sake of con
venience, we will call John, went to
visit the girl whom he would call his
own. During the evening the young
man, of the name of John, was unable
to conceal the wish of his heart, and in
tender accents declared his desire that
the young lady should consent to be his.
He met with a flat refusal. The ardent
John still pressed her further, declaring
that if she would not accept him, he
would then and there drown himself in
the briny waters of the canal. As his
threat did not effect the desired purpose,
lie proceeded to carry it out. He plung•
ed fearlessly into the murky flood, and
waded mit until the chilly waters reach
ed over -his shoulders. The evening o,p
which this occurred was none of tl
warmest. Retreating before finally
carryine: out his purpose, John cried
out, shivering with the cold—
" W-w-will you marry me now ?"
" No I"
In he plunged again, this time until
the water reached his neck, and again
he halted before the last plunge.
" W•will you marry me now ?"
"No!"
Again he went in, this time going
fairly under water, so far that only the
top of his head could be discovered
above the surface. But he emerged and
staggering out of the canal, shivering
worse than ever, spluttered out:
"N-now, w-w-will you marry me ?"
No y,
" Well, I don't care a d-damn whether
you marry me 'or not. You won't get
me into that canal again I"
Nor (lid he essay his fortunes in the
uncertain deep. Shivering and chat
tering with his teeth, he quickly de
parted and returned to his home, a
sadder and wiser man.

When the plague raged at Marseilles,
and all the city was panic-stricken, the
physicians assembled at the Hotel de
Ville to hold a consultation. After a
long deliberation they decided unani
mously that the malady had a peculiar
and mysterious character, which a post
mortem examination might throw light
upon; but the operation was held as an
Impossible one, seeing the operator must
inevitably fall a victim in a few hours.
A dead pause followed this fearful de
•claratlon, when suddenly a surgeon
named Guyon, in the prime of life and
of great celebrity in his profession
rose and said firmly, "Be it so, I will
give myself for the safety of my beloved
country. By to-morrow morn I will
dissect a corpse, and write down what
I observe." He went away, calmly
made his will, confessed and received
the sacrament. He then shut himself
up with a man who had died with the
plague, taking with him an inkstand,
paper and a little crucifix. Full of en
thusiasm he had never felt more firm or
collected ; kneeling before the corpse
he wrote: 'I gaze without horror, even
with joy I trust, by finding the secret
cause of this terrible disease to show the
way to some salutary remedy ; and so
will God bless my sacrifice and make it
useful.' He began—he finished the
operation, and recorded in detail his
surgical observations. He then threw
the papers into a vase of vinegar, sought
the lazarette, and died in twelve hours.
"Die,' we say? Nay, he lived. What
life so real as that which casts itself
into future generations to be a lasting
benefit to men? What better illustra•

Helper on the Present Oriels.
-Mr. Hinton Rowan Helper, authorof that
once much•talked•of volume, "The Im
pending Crisis of the South," has, through
the columns of the National intel/igencer,
addressed from Ashville, North Carolina,
a long and earnest appeal to "The Good
People of the Old Free States." When the
"Impending Crisis" appeared, it was ac
cepted by thousands upon thousands of
people in the North almost as a new Evan
gel. Mr. Helper's words were quoted as
conclusive authority, and his character was
said to be such as to entitle his suggestions
to considerate and serious attention. We
republish, therefore, for the benefit of his
former admirers, some of his views upon
the present condition of public affairs and
the situation of the South. We hope the
influence of Mr. Helper is undiminished in
New England, and that he may be listened
to as eagerly now as he was a few years ago.
He says:
"Almost every day, for several months
past—ever since I last returned to the State
—have I seen whole families, and some
times two or three together, leaving North
Carolina, some going in the direction of Il
linois, some traveling towards Indiana, and
others, of the more able and venturesome
sort, bound for Brazil' and elsewhere, lar
beyond the utmost limits of their own
native soil. While thus, under the oppres
sive and tyrannical operations of Radical
military despotisms, our own native white
people are robbed of their natural freedom
and forced to Ilee to foreign lands. Euro
pean emigrants and emigrants from the
North are restrained almost entirely from
coining to the South. And thus swiftly and
infamously are the narrow-minded and re•
vengeful Radicals converting all the States
of the South into one vast Hayti, or Jamaica,
or Mexico—driving from the country the
white people, who are, whether here or else
where, the only worthy and saving elements
of population, Lind surrendering it corn
plettly to the pollution, devastation and ruin
of stupid and beast-like hordes of black bar
barians.
"Of the extreme poverty and distress of
many of the poor whites who are now emi
grating from the State, and of a still larger
number who, rather than submit to the
l'urther danger and disgrace of Radical
negro and negro Radical domination, are
anxious to leave, but are destitute even of
the scanty means necessary to take them
away, I have scarcely the heart to speak.
To enter adequately into details or particu
lars upon this subject in a mere newspaper
article is quite out of the question, and so I
will only remark here, in a general way,
but with all the emphasis of earnestness
and truth, that I du nut believe uuy people
in any part of America were ever subjected
to such unjust and oppressive straits, such
miserable and wretched shifts, as the poorer
classes of white people of North Carolina,
and of the South generally aro now having
to struggle against ; and all this mainly in
consequence of the blundering and uncon
stitutional enactments, the unstatesmanlike
and infamous legislation of that oligarchy
of sectional demagogues known as the
rump Congress. ,
"Scarcely anywhere can one travel in
the South, at the present time, without
meeting, on every hand, especially among
the pour w.nites— and there are few now who
are not poor—numerous cases of actual
want, sickness, Buttering and despair.
"Because of its gross excesses, its short
comings, and its corruptions, the first and
must important thing necessary to be done,
in order to remedy existing evils, is to ut•
terly break down and destroy the whole
Radical party—a party which, in its mons
trous affiliation with negroes, is bringing
utter abjectness and ruin upon at least ten
States of the Union, and disgracing and
crippling all the others. Here, In the South
ern States, the Radical influence, which is
just as black and bad as it can be, coupled,
not in name, but in reality, with the old
slaveholding influence, keeps the negro un•
naturally and dissentiously interlarded be
tween the two great white element's of the
South, thus preventing here, among the
eight millions of people who alone are good
for anything, that unity of sentiment and
purpose, and that harmony of plan and
action, without which it is impossible for us
ever to attain anything like permanent
peace, prosperity, or greatness. Indeed,
under the actual military despotisms which
an unrepublican and malignant Radical
Congress have foisted upon us, and under
the atrocious Radical threats of unlimited
confiscation and perpetual disfranchise
ment, leading us to fear that a still
more oppressive and galling yoke is
held in reserve for us, there is al
ready an almost total suspension of
all public and private works; men have
no heart to do anything, their hopes and
their energies have been crushed; their
dwellings, their outhouses, and their fences
are, in most cases, in astute of dilapidation;
their institutions of learning, their churches
and their public buildings of all kiuds—
such as were not actually burned to ashes
during the war, having been greatly mis
used and abused—are going to decay; and
in many places, where at least ordinary in
structors and schools are still to be found,
the children, if not of necessity required to
remain at home end work, are too frequent
ly so destitute of clothing that their parents
are ,ashamed to let them go beyond the
narrow limits of their own mournfully
foreboding and gloomy observation. Many
of thif public roads and bridges, and not a
few of the fords and ferryboats, have been
so long out of repair that they have become
absolutely dangerous; and unless, in the
good Providence of God, the desolating and
destructive rule of radicalism can soon be
checked and averted, those who travel here
extensively, whether by steam•power or
horse-power, will do su at the imminent
peril of their lives.
" Especially among the negroes here
crime and lawlessness of every sort is
DOW far more rife than ever before, while,
in muuy cases, under the vicious protection
afforded them by the Radical negro bureau,
before whose Dogberry agents the presence
and the testimony of us good white men as
ever lived are but too often treated with
contempt, they (the delinquent negroes)
are never punished at all; or, if punished,
punished only iu the mildest possible
manner. I have known instances where
white men, coming to a knowledge of crimes
committed by negroes—those very whites
themselves being thevictims—would endure
the wrong, and pass the whole matter by in
silence, and without action, rather than
subject themselves to the insult, expense
and loss of time which they well knew they
would be but too likely to incur by making
complaint, whether at the negro bureau or
at any one of those other bureaus of military
despotism which have been so unneces
sarily and so wickedly inflicted upon
us by the Radical Congress. Every
where throughout the South the increas
ing demoralization of the negroes is
now, indeed, sadly seen and sadly felt.
Nor would it be au easy matter to make up
a full and complete indictment against
them of all other high crimes and misde
meanors. In every district or community
of a considerable size, on the right hand
and on the left, they are almost constantly
committing brutal murder and highway
robbery . breaking into dwellings and
warehouses; depredatingon orchards, fields
of grain and granaries; appropriating to
their own use other people's cattle, pigs and
poultry; stealing everything that they can
lay their bands upon; outraging pure and
innocent white girls, and not unfrequently,
in a spirit of the most savage wantonness
and revenge, setting ou lire and utterly de
stro., ing the houses and other property of
their white neighbors. Terrorism reigns
supreme among the white females of every
flintily, and sleep is banished.
Not far from here, I was, a few weeks ago,
in a small town, where there were just eight
stores, every one of which had, at different
times, been broken into and robbed. Either
at the actual time respectively of each rob•
bevy, or afterward, it was fully ascertained
and proven that six of these stores bad been /
forcibly and feloniously entered by negroes,
and the other two by persons unknown.
All of them had been entered since the
establishment of the Radical negro bureau.
or to that time no store in that town had
ev been entered by burglars. These facts,
w I considered, must lead to the most
s
emu and profound conviction, in the
breast of every right-thinking man, that
the negroes, strongly fortified in the morbid
and misplaced sympathy of the Radicals,
are feeling themselves at comparative lib
erty to commit, with impunity,every species
of outrage and crime.
"Broken-hearted over the disastrous re
alities of the present, and dimly peering
into the dark and uncertain future, all the
white people here, of whatever condition in
life, are dejected and sorrowful to an ex
tent that I never before witnessed. Some
times it has seemed to me that I could dis
cern something holy, something sacred, in
the deep and troubled sadness of those
about me; as if, indeed, God, in His great
mercy, had come to dwell in their hearts,
and protect them from farther outrage. I
would that this were so. Among men whose
hearth are not entirely callous to every con
sideration of justice and humanity, there
should always prevail a sentiment keenly
alive to the suggestion that there should be
both a measure and a limitation of punish
ment. Yet, strange to say, more strange to
say of white men in this nineteenth century,
the Radicals, as represented in the Radical
LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 27 1867.
Congress. seem to be actuated by no such
sentiment as this."
Of the Radii's' party he says:
"In the vain effort to exculpate them
selves, they vauntingly .proclaim to the
world that their measures of military recon
struction were enacted in great part, if not
principally, for the protection and for the
benefit of Union men iu the South. I tell
them that the true Union men of the South
(the white Union men, and except these
there were none, and are none worthy of
the name) detest, with a detestation unut
terable, the entire batch of their disgraceful
and ruinous military measures of recon
struction. With few exceptions, the white
Union men of the South feel that they have
been most foully and shamefully betrayed
and dishonored, and we reject, with im
measurable scorn and indignation! the im
putation that we have any sympathies or
purposes in common with baseminded and
degenerate partisans, who, like the Radi
cals, are abandoned to every high principle
of honor and right reason. We were, and
are still, Republicans; not black Republi•
cans, but white Republicans. Radicals we
never were, nor can we be. It is, then, the
Republican party, in the persons of factions
and fanatical multitudes of Radical dema
gogues, that has left us, and not we who
have left the Republican party."

"We insist upon It that the enfranchise
ment of the negroes, and the disfranchise
ment of the whites, whereby the supremacy
of the negroes has al ready been established,
or is about to be established in almost
every Southern State, is a consummate out
rage, an unmitigated despotism, an un
paralleled infamy and an atrocious crime.
We insist upon it, that our Federal
U, vernment and our State Governments
are, as they ought to be, republican in form,
and that the military authorities ought, at
all times, except only io cases of actual war,
in the future as in the past, to be held sub
ordinate to the civil authorities. We further
insist upon it, that the whole drift of Radi
cal legislation, for the last eighteen months
and more, has been and still is unstates•
manlike, unrepublican, vindictive and
despotic—perilous to all the principles of
enlightened self-government, and alarm
ingly degrading and inimical to the white
civilization and progress of the entire New
World.
* * s
"Further, and finally, we insist upon it,
that the good results which the loyal and
Intelligent masses of the country had a right
to expect would noon follow the abolition of
slavery and the suppression of the rebellion,
shall neither be defeated nor Indefinitely
delayed ; and we protest that the disengenu
ousness and treachery of the Radicals since
the war, set lously threaten to neutralize all
the wise and patriotic labors which the
Republicans so heroically and so gloriously
performed, both before and during the war.
We ask for the immediate repeal of all
military laws which are antagonistic to the
spirit and form of republican government,
and especially, l'or the speedy repeal of all
such political and mercenary monstrosities
us the negro bureau bill. We also ask that
the expenses of the army and navy may be
reduced at least one-half, and that the
burdens of taxation, which now weigh so
heavily upon white people, may at once be
lightened.
" With an eye and a purpose to these ends,
we ask that every Radical Senator and Rep
resentutive in Congress, and every other
Radical officer in the land, whether national,
State, county, or municipal, who is, or has
been, an aider and abetter of thatkusurpa
tory and tyrannical oligarchy, euphemized
as the American Congress, shall, one and
all, at the very next elections in which their
names inay be brought beforethe people, be
wholly and summarily withdrawn from
official life, and that new and better men—
men possessed of good common sense, men
controlled by sentiments ofjustice for white
people, no less than by sentiments of jus
tice for black people—men suflicently free
from sectional bias—men of enlarged and
statesmanlike views—shall be elected in
their stead. Let this be done, and let it be
proclaimed abroad, throughout the entire
length and breadth of the land, that what
the short-sighted and fanatical Radicals
are aiming at us a mere possible
good to four millions of blacks, is
a positive disservice and evil to eight
millions of whites. We want, and we will
have, no re•establishineut of slavery. It is
safe to say that there are not to-day, in the
whole State of North Carolina, two hun
dred men of good standing or influence,
who would, if they could, have slavery re
established. Indeed, I doubt whether there
are live thousand white men in all the South
who would now or at any future time be so
unwise, so rash and so reckless, as to undo
the acts of emancipation, even if they had
the power. The only persons here who, in
any considerable number, would be willing
to incur the odium and the infamy of voting
for a return to the system of slavery are
negroes themselves, whose instincts tell
them that if really put upon their own re
sources in communities of white men, and
in no manner propped up or sustained at
the expense and degradation of a greater or
less number of whites, whether by servi
tude, under an oligarchy of slaveholders,
on the one hand, or uy negro bureaus,
under an oligarchy of Radicals, on the
other, they will gradually fall behind in the
career of life, fail to multiply, the inferior
race, to which they belong, die out and be
come fossilized. While, therefore, we are
firm in the wish and purpose not to have
any more slavery in the South, we are
equally firm in the desire and determina
tion to get rid of the negroes if we can—not
by hurting a single fibre of hair (or wool)
upon their heads, but by colonization, in or
out of Mexico; and iu this effort, which will
be in perfect harmony with that wisdom
and patriotism which, through the mighty
energies and enterprises of white men, have
brought imperishable greatness and glory
to the North, we most earnestly and trust
ingly solicit your fraternal co-operation.
We believe we have thus far failed to pub
lish the decision of the Supreme Court in
regard to negroes in public conveyancess
It came up on the case of Mary Mile.
against the West Chester Railroad Corn
puny. The opinion of the Court was de
livered by Judge Agnew. The substance
of it is as follows:
It is admitted no one can be excluded
from a carriage by a public carrier on ac
count of color, religious belief, political or
religious prejudices. But the defendants
asked the court to say if the seat which the
plaintiff was directed to take was in all re
spects a comfortable, safe and convenient
seat, nor inferior in any respect to the one
she was directed to leave, she could not re
cover. The case therefore involves no
assertion of the inferiority of the negro to
the white passenger. The simple question
is whether the public carrier may, in the
exercise of his private right of property,
separate passengers by any other well de
tined characteristic than that of sex.
The right of the carrier to separate the
passengers is founded on two grounds—his
right to private property as a means of con
veyance and the public interest. The
private means he uses belong wholly to
himself, and implies the right of control for
the p otection of his own interest as well as
the performance of his public duty. It is
not an unreasonable regulation to seat pas
sengers so as to preserve order and decorum
and prevent contact and collision. If the
grounds of regulation be reasonable, courts
of justice cannot interfere with a carrier's
right of private property. The right of a
passenger is only that of being carried
surely and with a due regard to his comfort
and convenience, which are promoted by a
sound and well regulated separation of
passengers. • • • • ro 4 ,
Who would maintain that either at an
inn or on a vessel it is a reasonable regula
tion to compel the passengers, black and
white, to room or bed together'? If a right
of private property implies no right of
control, who shall decide a contest between
passengers for seats and berths?
Why the Creator made one black and the
other white is not known, the fact is appa
rent and the races distinct. Conceding
equality with natures as perfect and rights
as sacred, yet God has-made them dissimi
lar, and imparted to them features of char
acter intended to imply that they shall not
overstep the natural boundaries he has
assigned to them. The natural law which
forbids their inter-marriage and the social
amalgamation which leads to a corruption
of race is clearly divine. The separation of
the white and black races on the surface of
the globe is a fact equally apparent. •
c. * a • The right of each to be
free from social contact is as clear as their
right to be free from intermarriage •
* When, there
fore, we declare a right to maintain
separate relations as far as is reason
ably practicable but in a spirit of kindness
and charity, with due regard to equality
and rights.
From the opinion delivered in 1837, by
the late Judge Gibson, it appears that the
status of the negro never fell within the
term "freemen,' and that the emancipa
tion act of 1838 did not elevate him to a citi
zenship in the State. In 1838, the people of
the Commonwealth, by an express amend
ment of their Constitution drew the line di
rectly between the white citizen and the
black inhabitants of the State. It is clear,
therefore, that under its Constitution the
white and blank man stand in separate re
lations. Never has there been anintermix
tura of the two races socially, politically,
civilly or religiously.
Following these grounds we are compelled
Negroes In the Cars.
to declare that at the time of the alleged In
jury there was that natural, legal and cus
tomary difference between the black and
the white passengers in a public convey
ance, the subject of a sound regulation, to
secure order, promote comfort and preserve
the peace. The defendants were, therefore,
entitled to an affirmative answer to the
points recited in the opinion.

Rebel Resolutions.
At a mass meeting of the Conserva
tive citizens of Sumpter county, Ala
hams, held a few days since, the series
of resolutions which we publish below
were unanimously adopted. The men
composing the meeting were white.—
The most of them we have no doubt
were rebels during the war. Yet we
boldly assert that no set of resolutions
adopted at any Republican meeting for
the last five years can be found in which
there is so much genuine loyalty and
patriotism as in those which follow. We
publish them as in marked contrast to
the resolves of Radical assemblages. It
is strange, but none the less true,
that
traitors in heart and action are to be
found, not among the party claiming to
be especially and exclusively loyal so
readily as among the very men who are
denounced by them. We ask every
honest mau to read the resolutions
which follow with care, and to ponder
upon them seriously. They are ad
mirably drawn, and the spirit of true
patriotism breathes through them :
WHEREAS, Believing the time has come
when citizens of the Southern •States may
hope for an impartial hearing from a great
majority of their fellow-citizens of the
Northern States, and that a necessity exists
for zealous effort and united action by the
advocates of Constitutional Government
and a Restored Union, to preserve the one
and establish the other; we, citizens of
Sumter county, Alabama, without regard
to past party associations, do hereby affirm
our readiness to co operate as opportunity
may be afforded, with those enlisted in the
great work of perpetuating a Republican
Government In the United States, under
and in harmony with the Constitution
thereof. And, as an earnest of our sincerity
of purpose, we enunciate the following:
Resolved, Ist. That In a Republican Gov
ernment, deriving its powers from the
popular voice, It Is essential as a protection
against usurpations of power, that there
should be a well-defined code of general
principles, recognizing the rights of all
citizens, and not subject to repeal, change
or alteration by temporary majorities, to
the prejudice of a large proportion of
citizens.
Rettolved. 2d. That we recognize the Con•
stitution of the United States as the Great
Charter of Freedom, and the Supremo Law
of the Land; that avowing a true and faith•
ful allegiance to it, we pledge ourselves to
support and defend the same, as the only
means by which to preserve Liberty, and
restore and perpetuate Union.
Besnived, Id. ['hat, as the Government
framed by the Fathers of the Republic,
under and in accordance with that Consti
tution, was founded in the consent of the
governed, and is representative in duvet:
ter, compliance with its requirements and
obedience to its behests, constitute the only
legitimate test of loyalty.
Resolved, 4th. That any attempt to create
a form of government fur the whole or any
part of the territory subject to the Govern
ment of the United States, "outside of the
Constitution'' and in conict with its letter
and spirit, is revolutionary in character,
subversive of civil liberty, mobocratic in
its tendency, and dangerous to the interests
of the people.
Resolved, 51/i. That in view of the senti
ments above expressed, and of a sworn al
legiance to the Government of the United
States, as sdministered "under the Consti
tution and laws passed in pursuance there
of," we regard it as our imperative duty to
oppose by all lawful means, all efforts to
inaugurate any policy or form of govern
ment not in accordance therewith.
Resolved, 01h. That we fully recognize,
and will maintain the freedom of our negro
population as guaranteed by the Constitu
tion, and pledge to them full protection of
person and property; that their prosperity
and advancement in intelligence and mo
rality, are matters of common interest, and
this fact, no less than gratitude for former
fidelity, prompts our cooperation with
them in prompting these ends.
Resolved, 71k. That while we cheerfully
affirm this position with reference to the
Freedom, we cannot ignore the fact that as
this Government, under which they have
attained their highest advancement, had its
origin in the wisdom and patriotism of a
people distinguished through long ages for
their enlightenment, so does its stability
depend on the virtue and intelligence of
those entrusted with its admiration. And,
in view of these facts, and of the inexperi
ence of the great mass of our newly eman
cipated people, we believe with the people
of Ohio and other Northern States, that the
best interests of all classes would be im
perilled by an unqualified and unrestricted
extension of the right of suffrage at this
time.
Resolved, St h. That while maintaining
these opinions from an honest conviction
that a contrary policy would impair the in
terests of all—but more especially those of
the colored man, by demonstrating his un
fitness to discharge intelligently the grave
and responsible duties that would other
wise devolve on him—we nevertheless cor
dially invite him to co-operate with us iu
maintaining the principles and preserving
the benefits of civil liberty.
Resolved, 9th. That having thus set forth
our sentiments in a formal manner, we
deny and denounce all contrary representa
tions as false, and unjust to an oppressed,
helpless, but law-abiding and Constitution
loving people.
A Visit to 'Thad. Stevens
The Pittsburg Pod gives the following
account of a visit to Thud. Stevens by one
of Its correspondents:
Your correspondent paid a visit to Thad.
Stevens to day. He was sitting in an arm
chair, and Wilson, of lowa, Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, was present.
Time has made fearful ravages on the "old
commoner," who Is but a wreck of his
former self. lie claimed, however, to be
quite well, and said he was fast recovering
hie strength. But the lustre of the eyes
was gone, and it seemed to require un effort
to keep himself from absolutely sinking
into a stupor. Occasionally his eye would
brighten us some bitter reference to the cop
perheads escaped his lips, and then the fire
would die out, leaving him the appearance
of a dying man. His memory seems to fail
him, and he would often press his bony
fingers across his face in an effort to recall
his wandering thoughts. Froguoutly, after
these pauses, be would repeat what he bad
just sp ,, kt•n, apparently unconscious of
having uttered them before.
In the course aids remarks Stevens said
the country had never produced a political
party of such strength as the Radical party,
and that it was destined to control' the
Government, with, perhaps, occasional in
terruptions. The next House of Represen
tatives, be thought, would be Locofoco, but
the Radicals would soon regain the ascen
dency. Stretching his long arm and clench •
inF his fingers, he said : " There is the
mighty northwest, which will never yield.
Those men are ready to fight bears, wolves
catamounts and the devil or what was next,
the locofocos. In speaking of the effect of
congressional action in the South, be said
the Republicans in those States have placed
themselves on a foundation that can't be
shaken, and will stand with us, shoulder
to shoulder, and the Republican party
will be like a great breachy mule
between two horses. If they don't pull
with him, he will pull the guts out of
them. Stevens said if he was about to die,
an event he did not like to contemplate,
and which he would like to put off two or
three years longer, he would wish to have
some hearty friends to come and counsel
with him, for, said he, we have a deep in
terest in the affairs of this world, and can
have none in the other, and we must do our
work here. Continuing his discourse he
said the only danger to the Republican
party was dissension amongst themselves;
but they ought not to be allowed to divide
and weaken the ranks. But if they refused
to pull in the harness, he hoped the Repub
lican wagon would pass over their bodies,
and break their necks. Referring to the
Presidential nomination, he said the move
ment was premature, an di the Republicans
should see their way clear before the dis
cussion of that important question. He
declined expression of opinion in re
gard to General Grant, but it seem
ed if Forney it Co. were looking to
availability in their candidates, and he
thought impeachment had died out. His
own opinions were unaltered on this sub
ject. He said he would avail himself of
the first opportunity to present his confis
cation bill, for he was determined to put
the nation to a vote on it, and he declared
emphatically, that there would be no mod
ifications of the reconstruction act. That
the party would not take one step back
wards. He said that there was no doubt
that the Senate would nominate Stanton,
but he thought likely he would have to re
sort to legal proceedings. which said he, is
the right way to adjust wrongs, 'if a fellow
don't want to use his fists. Stevens declared
his intentions to be present at the opening
of Congress, and said the caucus would
shape the course of Legislation.
The Country keeds Pewee.
We commend to all, and especially to
Radical editors in this State, thd follow
ing timely article from that , leading Re,
publican paper, the N. Y. Times:
What the country needs now more than'
anything else is Pacification. We want
Peace—not only in form, butin fact; Peace
that shall involve harmony of sentiment,
unity , of purpose and of feeling among the
people of the sections lately at war. With
out such a peace as this, nothing else that
we may think we have secured will be
worth a straw. We may force negro antlfra,ge
upon the South, and maintain it by the
bayonet; but until it Is there by some dif
ferent tenure than that, it will be a curse
instead of a blessing to all concerned, and
especially to the negroes themselves. When
negro suffrage can be established In the
South with the assent of the Southern peo
ple—an assent passed on the conviction that
it is intended for the common good, and is
not si mply another form of hostile
force, it will consolidate Southern po
litical society, and contribute large
ly to the good of the whole coun
try. But this state of things cannot be
reached until peace—the spirit of peace, as
well as its form—is restored to the sections
lately at war. And the same thing Is true
of all the changes and reforms which should
follow in the South as the result of the war.
We may force them upon the Southern
States,as upon aco oquered section. We may
maintain them there by military power. But
solong as this is theonly hold they have upon
the Southern people, they will only breed
strife and contention—not contribute to the
peace and strength of the common country.
The South will regard them as simply force
in another form.
The great mistake in what has been done
since the war was closed is, that it has been
done in the spirit and temper of conquerers
dealing with a conquered people. After a
war between independent nations peace
comes through a treaty,—a compact to
which both are equal parties, it Is not im
posed by the victor, without the consent of
the vanquished and maintained by a con
stant display of armed power. Such a close
of war would not be peace. It would have
nothing of the spirit of peace. It would
heal none of the wounds, soothe none of the
asperities, allay none of the hatreds which
the war had caused ; and this is far more
true of the peace that should follow a war
between contending sections of the same
country. The terms of peace in such a
case, it it is to bring with it the fruits of
peace, must be such as the judgment of
both parties can approve and such as both
can accept without a sense of humiliation.
The President's policy had this feature to
recommend it at all events. Whether right
or wrong in its details, it made the South an
aasenting and a willing party to the peace
which It sought to bring about. And the
great defect in the policy of Congress has
been, that it springs from a different tetn
per and breathes a different spirit. Whether
right or wrong in Its details, It is imposed
upon the South by force. It goes out un
der threats—backed up by military power,
and enforced us an act and badge of subju
gation rather than offered us a basis of
peace which both parties can accept with
honor, and as conductive to their common
interests. Differences of detail would have
been very easily adjusted, if the subject
had been thus approached in the spirit of a
real and substantial peace.
But this has not been done. We are as
far from real peace today as we were when
the war closed. Indeed, the feeling that
now prevails between the two sections is
less peaceful, more bitter and more hostile.
than it was when Lee surrendered to Grant.
The people feel this to be the fact, and they
deplore it as calculated to plunge the coun
try deeper and deeper in trouble and con
fusion. We are not cooling out of the war
with either credit to ourselves or profit to
the country. We are simply prolonging its
enmities and widening the breach which the
cessation of armed strife ought to have
closed. Nor does the progress of Recon
struction, under the law of Congress, prom
ise speedy relief That it is regarded as a
hostile act by the people of the Southern
States—as intended to overbear and hnau-e
late them, and as calculated to tlisorgtyl.

Address of tile Conservative Citizens of
South Carolina.
The Conservative citizens of South *Car - os
lina have issued an address from which we
make the following extracts. It will be
road with interest :
We, therefore, feeling the responsibility
of the subject and the occasion, enter our
most solemn protest against the policy of
investing the negro with political rights.
The black man is what God, and nature,
and circumstances have made him. That
he is not fit to he invested with those im
portant rights was no fault of his, but the
fact is patent to all that the negro is utterly
unfitted to exercise the highest functions of
the citizen. The Government of the country
should not be permitted to pass fromithe
hands of the white man into the hands of
the negro. The enforcement of the Recon
struction acts by military power, under the
guise of negro voters and negro oventions,
cannot lawfully re-establish civil Govern
ment in South Carolina. It may for a time
hold us in subjection to a quasi civil Gov
ernment, backed by military force, but it
can do no more. As citizens of the United
States, we should not consent to live under
negro supremacy, nor should we acquiesce
in negro equality. Not for ourselves only,
but on behalf of the Anglo-Saxon race and
blood in this country, do we protest against
this subversion of the great social law
whereby an ignorant and depraved race is
placed in power and influence above the
virtuous, the educated, and the refined.
In reference to negro juries it argues:
Think you that when the great mastersa
the Coinuion Law of England pronounced
their emsmiums upon the trial by jury that
they a,utcmplaled for a moment such an
instrument as an ignorant negro panel?
Think you that when the framers of the
Constitution of the United States incorpor
ated into that instrument the provision that
trial by jury should always be held invio
late, that they intended to engraft upuu it
such an enormity as negro jurymen fresh
from the cotton and rice fields of the South?
Think you that when John Rutledge and
his illustrious compeers signed that in
strument on the part of South Carolina, that
they intended to forge a chain which, In a
period no longer than an ordinary life-time,
would drag their grandchildren who were
then playing around their knees and
some of whom are now living, for trial
before a jury of their own slaves?—
Talk of additional humiliation? Talk of
confiscation? Complain of clemency to
Rebels, after this? God forbid? The Gov
vernment of the United States has enforced
against the Southern people the most stu
pendous act of confiscation that has ever
been enforced in the history of nations.
Their property in slaves has been confisca
ted to the amount of 03,000,000,000. Other
personal property—in the shape of cotton,
provisions, stock, plate and money—has
been captured or destroyed to the value of
81,000,000,000; and from these causes their
land has deteriorated to the extent of $l,-
000,000,000—making in the aggregate the
enormous sum of $5,000,000,000.
It concludes as follows:
What do these reconstruction acts pro
pose? not negro equality merely but negro
supremacy. In the name then of humanity
to both races, In the name of citizenship
under the Constitution, in the name of a
common history in the past, in the name of
our Anglo-Saxon race and blood, in the
name of the civilization of the nineteenth
century, in the name of magnanimity and
the noble instincts of manhood, in the name
of God and Nature, we protest against these
acts as destructive to the peace of society,
the prosperity of the country, and the great
ness and grandeur of our common future.
The people of the South are powerless to
avert the impending ruin. We have been
overborne, and the responsibility to pos
terity and to the world has passed into other
hands.
Horrible Barbarities by an African
The latest news from Abyssinia develops
King Theodore In a still more bloodthirsty
aspect. He had made an expedition to the
small Island of Metrata, in the Lake Tana,
and put every inhabitant to death by tire;
then be made a trip to Ifag, a flourishing
town in Foggara, seized fifteen hundred
peasants, placed them in five large houses
and burned them alive. It is said that there
is now not a single man, woman or child
alive between Dehio Tabor and Emfars, on
the borders of Dembea. In the camp his
Majesty has been pursuing the same game.
Having beard that two thousand of his
troops wished to desert be had them sur
rounded by the others and their throats cut
like cattle, the mothers, wives, children and
nearest relatives of the men being pistoled
by the soldiery. Two hundred and ninety
five chiefs of districts have bad their hands
and feet cut off and have been left to starve.
That fellow ought to be brought to this
country and elected by his fellow.negroes
to the United States Senate, to sit between
Brownlow and Ben. Wade.

NUMBER 47
Illoeby In the Gold Room
About noon on Tuesday a strange scene
occurred In the Gold Room, on Broad street.
Bitting by the side of the Vice President,
Mr. Hoyt, was aperson wearing u grey
; ooat, who, it was whispered round, was the
ex-rebel chief, " Jack " Mosby. The breasts
of the loyal brokers burned with indigna
tion, which burst forth in the shape of a
note, written by Mr. J. B. Colgate and sent
I to Mr. Hoyt, asking him if the rebel Mosby
was sitting at his side, and, if so, protesting
against his being there. On receiving the
note and glancing over the contents, the
Vice President read it aloud and then said,
" Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to
Colonel Mosby." Mosby then arose and
was received with mingled cheers and
hisses. The brokers of the New York Gold
Board wore evidently never more divided
than ou this occasion. While some ad
vanced to the Colonel to shake him by the
hand, others protested against the proceed
ing by loyally shaking their heads and ges
ticulating their indignation. Amid the din
and confusion the following broken sen
tences might have been heard : " No place
for u traitor." "As much right there as
abybody else." "Who have rendered them
selves infamous by their rebellious acts ?"
" Colonel Mosby was a brave soldier."
"Good judge of horses." "A better man
never lived." " A worse was never hung,"
..ttc. These delectable and entertaining ex
pressions of the difference of opinion in
which Mr. Mosby was hold by the brokers
present were suddenly silenced by that
worthy leaving the room and the Vice
President calling a special meeting of the
Board, when he desired to know whether
or not he was to be sustained in introducing
his friend into the room. Tableaux I The
Vice President was supported by the ma
jority, who endorsed his action in introduc
ing from his elevated position Line of his
friends (Colonel Mosby, the ex- - gliterilla
chief)to the loyal brokers of the New York
Gold Board.—N. Y. Herald.
Sir John Franklin's Remains
By the arrival of the steamer Nimrod,
Capt. Chapel, at St. John's, N. F., from the
Artie fishing grounds, we have some in
formation of the progress Captain Hall is
making in his search for the remains of the
late Sir John Franklin. It appears that,
having been disappointed in obtaining a
team of dogs, Captain Hall had started on a
sledging tour, in the course of which he met
a party of hostile Esquimaux, from whom
he learned that at about the time of the loss
of Sir John Franklin's vessel, some while
men carried a dead body on shore, and
built a brick vault, which they carefully
cemented, and in which they deposited the
corpse, afterward covering the vault with
heavy stone flags. This body Mr. Hall be
lieves to be the remains of Sir John, and
his intention is to visit the locality adn sat
isfy himself upon the point, if possible.
Since, however, this region is inhabited by
hostile natives, Mr. Hall has thought it
necessary to take with him a small force or
white men. To secure this he offered $3OO
in gold each to any five men from the whal
ing fleet who would accompany him. of
course, be secured his men, and all hands
will start this full on their journey, so that
it Is not improbable that next summer we
may receive definite information as to the
resting place of Sir John Franklin. Capt.
Hall has secured many valuable articles
formerly owned by Sir John's party.
The R. snit of the Eleetthn in Minnesota.
A Radical paper in Minnesota acknow
ledges and thus bewails the defeat of negro
suffrage in that State:
The official returns force us to the reluct
ant conclusion that the amendment is lost
by something over 1,000 majority. Carver
county gives 745 votes against it—nearly
800 more than the Democratic majority in
that county. Stearns gave 722, Le Sueur
554, and Scott 1,176 against it. This is bad,
but it is, perhaps, no worse than might have
been expected from Democratic counties.
But it is not the Democratic counties
from which the death-blow of the amend
ment has come. It is from Winona county,
which, increditable as it may seem, gives
834 majority against it, or some 720 more
than the Democratic majority ; from Wa
bashaw, where we had confidently looked
for 500 majority at least for it, but which
gives 358 against it; from Wright, which,
instead of a majority for, gives 145 against
it, and from Blue Earth, which, with a
majority of 410 for the State ticket, gives
but 80 fur equal suffrage. We can hardly
believe that the Republican sentiment of
those counties is so far behind that of the
rest of the State as the returns would seem
to indicate, and we presume the small vote
given for the amendment resulted, us we
know it did in Wright county, from
its not being printed on the general
ticket. But we have the consolation
of knowing that an immensely larger
vote was given for equal suffrage
this year than two years ago, and that
while every Democratic vote in the State
was against it, it has failed only by a few
votes—whose loss is the result of accident—
of being triumphantly adopted. It is de
monstrated, at least, that the Republican
sentiment of the State is fully ripe for it,
and that one more trial will insure its com
plete success. " Three times and out" is
the game."

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD,
RUNNING WEST FROM OMAHA.
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED
The Union Pacific, Railroad Company have
built a longer line of railroad in the last eigh.
teen mouths than was ever built by any other
company in the same time, and they will con•
Untie the work with the same energy until it is
completed. The Western Division Is b. ing
pushed rapidly eastward from Sacramento by
the Central Pacific Company of California, and
it is expected that
TIM ENTIRE GRAND LINE
to the PaMilo will be Open for business In 4670.
MORE THAN ONE•TIiIRD OF THE WORK
HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, MORE THAN
ONE-THIRD urTHE WHOLE LINE IS NOW
IN RUNNING ORDER, AND MORE LABOR
ERN ARE NOW EMPLOYED UPON IT THAN
EVER BEFORE. More thou
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY
have already been expended by the two power
ful companies that have undertaken the enter
prise, end there Is no lack of muds for Its most
vigorous prosecution. W hen the United States
Government found It necessary to secure the
construction of the union Pacific Railroad, to
develop and protect Its own Interests, It gave
the Companies authorized to build It such
ample aid as should render Its speedy comple
tion beyond a doubt. The available means of
the Union Pacitic Railroad Company, derived
from the Government and Its own stockhold
ers, may be briefly summed up as follows:

I "PU it E BUSINESS,
The most skeptical have ❑ever expressed .a
doubt that when the Union Pacific Railroad le
!inhaled the Immense business that must flow
over It, as the only railroad connecting the two
grand divisions of the North American conti
nent, will be one of the wonders of railway
traneportation ; and as It will have no Com
petitor It can always charge remunerative
retie. The Pacific Mall Steamship Company
of New York Is now running a regular lino of
its splendid steamers between eau Francisco
and China and Japan, which Is doubtless the
pioneer of other lines, that will trevelso the
3 aclfic Ocean laden with the teas, spices and
other products of Eastern Asia. Excepting
some very heavy or uulity articles, of compara
tively low vitiues, shortness of time decides
the direction of freights and most, of-the car
goee will hod their natural transit over the
Union Pacific Railroad.
It is quite within bounds to say that its traf
fic will be limited only by the capacity of the
Lice, and that no other load will find a double
frocks() nececau, y. Cwifornia and Uregun must
not only be supplied with mouse of transport
for its passengers, mall, treasure and other
freights, but the Inhabitants of Dakotan, Colo
rado, Utah, Idaho and Montana will communi
cate with the older states almost entirely by
this road. It will be the avenue to all the great
mining districts, which is only awaiting this
ready means of communication to receive a
population that will develop lot vast mineral
and other resources, and which of itself would
furnish ample business for a railway lino.
EA RNINUti F'HOM WAY ISU,INEM.
W hue Llae through business of the Company
will be amply remunerative, it Is still lu tae
