Booth’s Lincoln'aMnctlon conspiracy.
Statements of Arnold and Atserodt.
There has Just been given for publication
—'With what motive no one need care to in
quire—copies of certain statements made
by Samuel B. Arnold, now one of the Dry
Tortugas prisoners, and Atzerodt, who was
executed for alleged complicity la the Lin
coln assassination, the former written by
Arnold, In Baltimore, on the 18th of April,
1865, Just after his arrest at Fortress Mon
roe, and the latter by Atzerodt the night
previous to bis execution. Arnold always
admitted that he had originally been party
to an arrangement for capturing Mr. Lin
coln and running him off to Richmond,
which design was abandoned; but the de
tails which he gives in this statement hqve
some interest, though not being entitled to
prejudice, In any way, the status of the
question of bis pardon. The statement of
Atzerodt is so confused and rambling that
It is difficult to determine whether he means
to indicate that Surratt was in Washington
at the time of the assassination or not,
though he does not profess to have then
seen him there. These papers have been in
the handßof Ex-Marshal McPhall,. of Balti
more, who, nuw that Surratt's case is aban
doned, furnishes them for publication:
CONFESSION OF BAMUEL B. ARNOLD, MADE
ON THE 18TH OF APRIL, 1865,
To Whom it May Concern; Know that 1,
Samuel B. Arnold, about “tbe latter part of
August or first part of September, 1864, was
seut for by J. Wilkes Booth, who was a
guest at Buroum’s Hotel, in the city of Bal
'timore, Maryland, to call to see him. I bad
not seen the same J. Wilkes Booth since
1852, when we both were schoolmates at St.
Timothy's Hall, President L- Van Bokke
Jen then having said Hall as a place of tui
tion. His reception of me was wurm. Call
ing for wine and cigars, we conversed a
short time upou our former school boy days
We were interrupted bv a knock at the door,
when Micbsel O'Luughlin was ushered in
Ahcr a lormul im roduction, we sal sipping
Our Wine, and all three smoked a cigar.
Luring smokiug, he having beurd previous
ly of my political feelings or sentiments, he
spoke in glowing terms of the Confederacy
and the number of surplus prisoners in the
hands of the United States. Then ensued
the proposition by J. Wilkes Booth, and
which be {J. Wilkes Booth) thought could
be accomplished,viz •Of kidnapping Presi •
dout Lincoln, as lie frequently went un
guarded out to the Soldiers’ Home ; and he
thought he could be picked up, carried to
Richmond, and for his exebungo produce
the exchange for the President of all the
prisoners iu the federal hands.
He, J. Wiiaea Booth, the originator of
the scheme, asked if wo would enter into
it. After puiniiug the chances of success
in such glowing colors, we consented, viz:
Michael O’ Luughlm and myself. We wen
bound not to divulge it to a living soul. I
saw him once more lu Baltimore, and then
he (J. Wilkes Booth) left to arrange his
business up North, first to Now York,
thence to the oil regions, aud from thero to
Boston, and finally to Canadu. He was to
be back in a mouth. I received a letter,
which I destroyed, stating ho was laid up
with erysipelas in his arm, and as soon us
he was able be would be with us. Months
roiled around, and he did not make his up
nourance until sumo time in January. Jn
his trunk he had two guns, cap cartridges,
which were placed in tin-gun stocks—Spen
cer rifi-H I tnmk they were called—revol
vers, knives, belts, cartridge-boxes, cart
ridges, oaps, canteens, all fully fixed for
service, which were to bo used incase of
pursuit, and two puirs handcuffs to hand
cutl' the President, llis trunk being so
heavy, be guve the pistols, kiiive.'j,and band
cntl-i to Michael O’Luughlni and myself to
huvo shipped or bring to Washington. He
tn* n returned from Washington, to which
piai e he had gone,- bought a horse, hurness
and buggy wagon, leaving the team, <fcc.,
with’ us to drive on to Washington.
We started from Baltimore about twelve
or one (/clock, afier liaving shipped the box
containing iho knives, handcuffs and pis
and he told us of the theatre plan slightly,
saying lie would wait till we pm the horse
awuv, atgl tell us more Cully. He had pre
viously, us I now remember, spoken of the
chances at the th< utre if wo could not sue
eeed in the other plan at the Soldiers’
Horne. We went to the theatre that night,
ho iJ. Wilkes Booth) telling us about the
ditferont back entrances, and how feasible
the plan was. He bad rented a stable in
the rear of the theatre, having bought two
hordes down the country. One was in the
stable behind the theatre, the other at liv
ery. Met him next day ; wont together to
breakfast with him. IJe was always pressed
with business with a man unknown to us
then, by the name of John Surratt; most
of Ids (Booth’s) lime was spent with him.
We were le'i entirely in tho dark.
Michael O’Lnugblin and myself rented a
room on D street, No. 420, and obtained
ineals ut the Franklin House, on the corner
of D and Eighth streets. We thus lived for
nearly two months, seeing him perhaps
three or four times during the week, aud
when seen, always bill for a short time,
having still pressing business always on
hand, viz: to see John Surratt. Michael
O’Lftiighliu ami uiyself drove out, occa
sionally, the hoj'so liveried at Mr. Nailer’s
stable. We drove always (but once) in the
city and Georgetown; the once-excepted
across the Eastern Branch bridge, when we
went upward of five miles, 1 suppose, and
returned. This was tho only time I went
over the bridge. How often J. Wilkeß
Booth crossed I cannot state, but, from his
owu words, often, Thus was Michael
O’Laughliu’s and my time spent for the
tols, arriving in Washington übout seven
or half-past sever’ the same evening. We
met him on tue street us we were passing
the theatre. We alighted, took a drink,
most part—down at lLillmun’s Hotel (now
vSiuclnir House,) on Pennsylvania aveuue
aud Louisiana aveuue iu drinking and
umusements, with oiber Baltimoreans be
sides ourselves congregating there, all ot
whom know nothing oi our business but
that of selling stock. Oil stock was tlKf
blind for-tbem as well os my family.
Luring the latter part of March, whilst
standing on Hullnmn’s porch, betweeu
eleven and twelve u’cloch P. M., n young
man—name unknown, as I cannot remem
her names—about ii ve feet five or six inches
high, thick set, l<?ng nose, sharp chin, wide
cheeks, small eyes, (gray, 1 think,) dark
hair aud well dressed, —color I don’t re
member—culled Miehuel O’Laughlm aside,
uud said J. Wilkes Booth wished to see us
both' at Haulier's saloon, on the avenue. I
wus then for the first time introduced to him
but furgot his name. Wo walked up to
goiher. Mich’l O'Laughlm, this unknown
aud myself were ushered into the presence
of J. Wlikes Booth, who introduced me to
John Surratt, Atzerodt, alias Port Tobacco,
, alias Moseby, making in’all seven
persons, J. Wilkes Booth had sent word
to Michael O'LuughMu to bring mo up in a
good humor (still always in the dark.)
Then commenced tho plan lor seizing the
President. Each had his part to perform.
First, I was to rush into the private box and
seize the President, while Atzerodt, alias
Port Tobacco,,uml J. Wilkes Booth were to
handcuff' him and lower him on the stage.
whilst was to catch him and
hold him till we got down. Surratt uud the
unknown were t<> heuii the otherside of the
KtiS'eru branch bridge to facilitate escape.
It was a terwurds changed to Moseby and
Booth to catch him m ihe box and iolower
him to me on the stage, O'Laughlin and
the unknown wore to put the lights out,
und Surratt and Atzerodt, alius Port Tobac
co, to be on the other side of the bridge.
I-was opposed io the whole proceeding,
and said it could not be accomplished Ji
ever, which was an impossibility, we could
g<-t him out ot the box and to "the bridge
We would be .stopped by theseuiinel. “Shoot
•he sentinel,” buid Booth. I said that would
not do, for ifuu alarm wasgiven the
whole thing was up, and, as for me, ] want
ed the shadow of a chance for escape and
success. Michael O’Laughlm wanted to
argue the same way, whereupon J Wilkes
Booth said, “You find fault with every
thing concerned übout it.” I said no; that
I wanted to have a chance, Jam! I in
tendon to have it ; ihat he could be the
U oler oi the party, 1-ui not my executioner
Whereupon J. Wilkes Bo >tb remarked, in
a stern, commanding and angry voice, “L
you know you -are liable to be shot? re
member your oath.” 1 told him the plan
or basis bad changed, and a compact on the
part of one biok-n is broken by all. If you
Joel inclined to shoot me. you have no fur
ther to go, I shall defend myself 'Phis, it
1 remember urlgbt, wbs on a Friday, or
may be a Thursday night, when I Hind,
“Gentlemen, if this is not accomplished this
week, I forever withdraw from it.” 1
(stayed up until about six or seven o'clock
next morning, Friday or Saturday, and
’then went to bed. I remained in-doors un
til 12 o’clock, when I arose and went to get
my breakfast.
Michael O’Laughlin and myself roomed
together, both arose at the same time, and
were always, in a measure, together. Went
to bed that evening about 7$ o’clock. This
day that I went to bed bo early we met übout
2 or tbereubouts ; told mo. I spoke angrily
tho night of meeting ; said I ban been drink
ing. I told him no; I was in my sober
flenses, and meant every word fsaitl; ifnot
accomplished this week J withdraw. Next
day the thing was to lie accomplished on
the Seventh street road and failed. On
Sunday I stayed in Washington, and on
Monday or Tuesduy I returned to Balti
more, ami thence to Hookatnwn. J. Wilkes
Booth iu the meantime went to New York,
and returned to Baltimoroduringtheweek,
on Saturday, I think. He said lie wished
to see me on very urgent business, and my
father sent f<ir me. 1 came from the country
and he had gone to Washington, whereupon
I wrote him the letter which was found In
his trunk. The Richmond authorities, as
far as I know, knew nothing of the conspi
racy. The letter was written after mj return
to the country, after finding he could not
wait to see.me m Baltimore.
During ibe week I came to the city and
met Michael O’Laughlin, who asked me to
go to Washington with him to finaUy ar
range his affairs. I went in the morning—
Friday, I think—and returned Bame eve
ning borne, having cut loose forever from
it. Next day I received a letter from J. W.
Wharton, at Fortress Monroe, giving me
employment. Went to the country, got
my clothing, and on Saturday, the Ist day
of April, left Baltimore for Fortress Mon
roe, at which place I have remained, never
corresponding with Booth or seeing him
from the above named date to the present
writing.’ The ground work was to kidnap
the President without violence. He neyer
to me said that he would kill him. Fur
ther than this I know nothing, and am in

nooent of having taken any active part in
the dark deed committed.
Bamtjel B. Arnold.
THE PLAN' 07 ESCAPE
Was to place Mr. Llnooln in the bnggypur
ebased for the purpose, and cross the East
ern Branch bridge. Surratt and Atzerodt,
alia* Port Tobacco, were to follow them to
where he bad a boat.concealed, tarn the
horse loose, place the President in the boat,
and cross thePotomaoto the Virginia shore,
and thence to make our way to Richmond.
Burratt knew the route, and was to act as
pilot. Samuel B. Arnold.
• A box painted black, like unto a sword
box, was sent by Booth from the hotel by
the porter there to our room. The next
day it was transferred in a wagon, O'Laugb
lin acting pilot, to someplace. I was not
present. After giving the box to the driver
went to Georgetown, aDd O Laugblin bad
the full ohargeof it. M. O’Laughlin said
he took it to Mr- Heard’s, and from thence
the unknown carried it home. Took the
guns out aud carried them to Pedee. This
latter clause Booth told me.
Samuel B. Arnold.
Witness: V. Randall, E. G. Horner,
Baltimore, April 18th, 1865.
Confession of Atzerodt Relative to tbe
Assassination of President Uneoln.
I had not seen John Snrratt for about
eight days before the murder. Booth told
me a few days before the murder that he
was in Washington. Kate Thompson, alias
Brown, came from Richmond with John
Surratt about the time that Richmond fell.
He bad come previously with Gustavua
Howell, now in the Old Capitol Prison.
Kate Thompson stopped at Mrs. Surratt’s,
and also at the National and Rinnel Hotels.
This woman was about 21 years of age,
spruce and neat, medium size, black eyes,
and fair complexion. She had a sister In
New York, who, it was said was a widow.
Surratt was made known to her in New
York by a sigoal conveyed by a small
switch with a waxed ehd and a piece of red
ribbon on the butt, bandied horizontally
through the fingers. This sign was given
on a hotel pavement on Broadway. He
went with her South, and hired a horse at
Howard’s Btablea for the purpose.
Harold came to the Kirkwood House and
left tbe kuife, pistol and coat, on the even
ing oi the murder, about half past six
o’clock, as I was about 1-avlng, I having
told the clerk to tell whoever might call
that I was gone out. This was before Har
old came in. Harold and I then went to
ihe Herndon House. Mrs. Murray’s, corner
ofNiuthandF streets. Jt wus then about
8 o’clock, und suw Booth, Wood aDd Payne
in Wood’s room. Here the proposed murder
was first mentioned. I refused to take part
in it, when Booth said, “ Then we will do
it, but what will become of you ? you had
belter come uioog and get your horse.” 1
then left them und went to tbe Oyster Bay
on the avenue, aud stayed some time; then
to the stable and got my horse aud went up
D street. This wasabout 10 o’clook. I called
at the Rinnel House aDd got a drink. I
saw none of the party after we separated
ab jut 9 o’clock thut evening. I then went
out 0 street toward the Baltimore depot;
went between the old uud new’ Capitol;
came on the avenue again, and concluded
to corne buck. I rode down the avenue and
the cavalry wore dashing by m,s. This was
the tirst I heard of the murder, ji then went
up Eighth street, left the hprse ut the stables
opposite tbe Franklin House-, and then
went to tbe Herndon House, and heard a
little boy talking about the murder. I then
took a car and went towards'the Navy
Yard. This was about 11 o’clock, und I
mot two young men named Briscoe and
•Spates, with whom I lfad some talk. After
walking eorne distattce a took u cur to the
corner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue. Yllere I met a man inquiring for
a place toHsleep at. I took him round to the
Rinnel House, and wo retired to one room
with six beds iu it. I left early next morn
ing and passed through Georgetown on my
wuy to Montgomery county. No one left
tho hotel with me. Isuw MikeO’Laughlin
about a week before tho President was
killed. I never wanted O’Laughlin aud
Arnold’s aid; met O’Laughlin once or
twice ut Snthard’s and a few times in the
street. When wo were at Murray’s on the
night of the murder, Harold said he hud a
letter from a printer to Andy Johnson. He
suid bo was going to give it to him, aud he
wap ted me to give him the key of my room,
which I refused to do.
Previous to the arrangement of tho mur
der Booth heard that the President was to
visit a camp. The each wus to be taken
out Seventh street. Surratt was to jump on
the box as he wus the bestdriver, and drive
through Old Fields to the Long Bridge.
This was übout the middle of Mnrcb.
O’Lnugblin, Samuel Arnold, Puyue, Sur
ratt, Booth, Atzerodt, and Harold went to
the Long Bridge with two carbines, und
were to wait for us. They did so until mid
night and returned to Washington next
morning. This faiied All was quiet then
fur some time. Booth went to New York,
Arnold to Baltimore, O'Laughlin also, and
Puvne left for New York. After this Howell
brought a woman across the Potomac.—
Howell was made prisoner, and Surratt
took her North, about a week before the
murder. Booth told mo that Surratt was
at the Herndon House; on tho night of tho
murder, tho 14th of April, we were not all
together at the Herndon House, Booth
told me Surratt was to help at the box, thui
be expected others in the box. Booth went
from the Herndon House, down Ninth
street. The words of Booth were “I suw
Surratt a few moments ago.” All the par
ties appeared to be enguged ut something
on that night, and were uot together. Booth
appointed cue and Harold to kill Johnson ;
iu going down the street I told Booth we
could not do it. Booth said Harold had
more courage and lie would do it. Harold
and I were on Penn ylvania avenue[togeth
er. I told him I would uot and
should not go to my room for fear he would
disturb Mr. Johnson. Ho left me to go for
Booth. This wus after 9 o’clock, I went to
the Oyster Buy, and Harold came in and
said Booth wanted to see mo. Harold left
me here. I promised to get my horse and
come. I was not at tbe Kirkwood House
idler 2 o’clock. I have no recollection be
ing there uftor that. I had Dothing to say
at uny of the meetings. One of the attempts
« anat the theatre; the gas was to be put out.
Ac. Nodiscussiou was had about failure, and
what to do iu thut case. The coil of rope at
Lloyd’s was to stretl-h across the road to
trip the cavuiry. I know nothing about
Spangler’s rope; I believe him innocent.
Booth told me'un actor wus to be the best
assistant in the theatre to turn off" the gas.
Arnold and O’Laughlin were to grab the
President and take him off. and Booth said,
when applied to for money, he would go to
New York aud get some, us he had it there.
Mrs. Surratt, Mrs. .Slater, Major Bauon and
John Surratt left Washington together ; got
horses at Howard’s. Mrs. Surratt stopped
at Surrattsville. John Surratt and Mrs.
Slater crossed, and Banon and Mrs. Surrutt
came back. Banon was in the rebel urmv.
J don’t think Banon knew anj’thing about
the conspiracy. I sold a horse for Booth,
and thought the affair was abuut over. The
murder was broached first on the 14th, at
night, when Harold came for me. I did
hear Booth say Lincoln ought to be kilted.

out of the water to the.beight of several feet,
and lusted about fifty seconds, when it dis
appeared. The light itself was not very
bright, yet they could distinctly see the out

Our Cold uud Silver Product.
Tließound Table has
mary of the doings of our gold and silver
miiies during.the year 1865. The yield of
placer mining has continued lo fall off, but
the extraction of the metals from the quartz
rock has been prosecuted with increased
skill and success. The various new methods
of breuking the rock which have been tried
in Nevada und Colorado have been aban
doned lbrthe old apparatus of stamps, which
is not equaled iu effectiveness by any of
the more recent devices. The stamps are
used, however with greater care, a 9 the
tiuer the stone is pulverized the more
thoroughly its precious contents aregot out,
In Nevada the most remarkable feature in
tin* year’s operations is the decrease in the
product of the Comstock )o< e, discovered in
1865, and hitherto so surprisingly valu
able. Tbe deeper the rock is work
ed in that lode, the poorer it is found to
be. On the other hand, tbe White Pine
district, in Nevada, has furnished silver to
tno value of a million dollars duriug the
last six months. In Idaho tbe profit of
mining has been diminished by drought,
while in California the business has suffer
ed from too much rain. Iu all the new
Territories the excessive cost of transporta
tion and provisions has also checked the
development of the mining interest; but
after all, tbe yield ot 1868 may fairly be
stated as follows:
California S2O 000 000 Colorado 84,000 000
Nevada 18,000 000 Washington.... 1,000 000
Montana 12,000,00 U Arizona 250 000
Idaho 6,000.000 New Mexico.... 250.0..-0
Oregon 5,000,000
Total $66,500,000
It Is not too much to expect that chore
gold and silver will be produced in this
country in the present year than the year
that has .just closed has been able to supply.

have committed numerous robberies in the
upper townships of Montgomery county,
was cleverly arrested the other day in
New Hanover township.
ITiIId Carried Off by an fiaglc.
A child was captured by an eagle near
Meigsville, Term,, ou Christmas Eve, and
carried about two miles before it was res
cued. He was a bright little fellow, just old
enough to be learning to walk. When no
one was in the house, he managed to roll
out of his trundle-bed and crawl into the
front yard. A great gray eagle came swoop
ing down, and fastened ifs immense talons
in the clothing of the little boy, then rose up
with much ditlicully. and sailed off across
the adjacent woods, jusiskimming the tops
of the trees. Its course lay toward the Cum
berland River. A servaut giri saw theeagle,
aud gave chase. into the tangled
wood, aud tried to keep a' straight liue,
thinking the bird would do the same. The
patch of wood was fully a mile and a half
through ; but the girl made the run to the
other edge of it without feeling fatigue.
Beyond tin* wood, and between it und the
Cumberland River, lay a patch, of cleared
ground, partly marshy ami partly eorn
lield, full of old stumps. When the girl
left the wood, and had a clear view, she saw
the eagle iu the air; beseemed inclined to
alight with bis burden somewhere in the
neighborhood of the river. This gave h»r
new courage. It happened that there was
a man hunting in the neighboring murshea,
ami. just at the moment when the
eagle reached the grouud with his bur
den, a shot went off so dangerously
near him that he mounted into the air
again, but ibis time without the
b'-y. The pursuing girl began a vigorous
shouting as she ran. which attracted the
hunter’s attention, who, seeing the eagle
quite near him, and a lady rushing down
tue slope with streamingbair and garments
and wildly shouting, concluded at once
that there was something strange, and per
haps dreadful in his immediate vicinity;
he also set up a vigorous hallooing, and
proceeded to reload his gun. The eagle soon
became aware of the formidable opposition
he would meet if he attempted to recapture
his prey, hovered over the spot a moment,
and then wheeled around in one grand
sweep across the river, and disappeared
behind the shelving rock which forms
the opposite bank. When the girl came
down to the hunter, she fell stiff, and was not
able even to indicate what was the matter.
The rough gallant theu heard the scream of
a child, and soon found a line, healthy,
rosy boy, with torn clothes, but otherwise
uninjured, endeavoring to rise upon his
little ft/et* The tears streamed down his
innocent cheeks, aud his face wore a irnjst
piteous expression. The hunter took the
baby in his arms and carried it to the gir!,
who was now recovered. She clasped it to
her bosom, covered it with kisses, and wept
with joy. The parents in the mean time
bud missed the little one, aud had become
very uneasy. There was laughing and
crying enough when the w’anderers return
ed, and the wonderful voyage of the little
fellow was explained.
Coru Production of tbe States.
Tbe Department of Agriculture furnishes
estimates in detail of the corn crop of last
year, as follows:
Corn —We are unable to figure out the
thousand millions of bushels promised by
sanguine calculators. A handsome increase
of 137,000,000 bushelß, if not all that could
be desired at the present time, affords an
aggregate of 67,000,000 bushels larger than
in 1859, withoutinciudingtbe PacificStatea,
which are unsuited to corn production ; but
a decrease in proportion of the entire pro
duction of an increase of sixteen per cent,
in nine years—a good result though barely
abreast with the increase of population.
The following is tbe estimate of bushels:
Maine, 1,590,000 ; New Hampshire, 1,500,000;

“tfke will Save tbe Republican Party.”
This inquiry of the Evening Post
stands as tbe heading of an article de*
nouncingthe dishonesty, extravagance
and wrong headedness with which pub
lio affairs have been managed by the
party in power. The denunciation is
most richly deserved; but when a party
stands in need of B&lvation from moral
rottenness, its days are numbered. That
party must be overthrown as the only
means of saving the country. The fol
lowing paragraphs from the Post's arti
cle are very instructive reading; not
that they contain anything new, but
because they show that a portion of the
Republican party itself admits the
truth of the charges made against it by
Democrats. We quote:
When a political party bas a great pre
dominance, it is pretty sure to draw to itself
the rogues, the unscrupulous, and the self
seekers in the community. That is the dan
ger of such an ascendency. A party may
become the tool of corrupt men, because its
leaders are careless and over-confident of
their strength, and because tbe rogues and
self-seekers are attracted to it from a desire
to use it as their instrument.
When aparty becomes corrupt, the people , ,
who endure for a while with that patience
which short-sighted politicians are so sure to
misunderstand , presently leave it and take
up the other party, even if they run the risk
of faring but little better by tbe change.
It seems to many thoughtful friends of
the Republican party that it isrunnlng just
now a good deal of risk of such a popular
desertion. It has amongst its leaders wise,
prudent, und good men, but these are, in
many cases, over-ridden by glib-tongued
demagogues, by unscrupulous speculators,
and by men 100 ignorant for these times,
which demand at least a decent knowledge of
political science in the legislator.
Now that General Grant is elected and is
presently to beinstaJled as President, it is
time, iu the opinion of maDy good men, for
the Republican party to look the future
squarely iu the fuce, und to determine upon
some policy which shall not be merely
hand-to-mouth. The war is over. Appeals
to loyalty will hardly answer in future
elections. The country is safe, for four
years to cotne at least, from those terrible
Southerners; the universal suffrage cry
will scarcely suffice to win the next Presi
dential election; ami Graut haßhimselfau
nouuced that policy which, in this case, as
in some others, is undoubtedly tho best,
namely : Honesty.
If tbe Republican parly is to live, it must
be tbe party of economy, the party of equal
taxation, the party of lair play. Now, as to
economy, look for a moment at some of the
schemes which have been brought before
the present Congress, and nil by Republi
cans.
* - i x # a
Now this is an intolerable condition of
things. 'The American people arenotso fool
ish as to suffer it to continue long. They are
without resentment, and the yare learning
from such documents as Mr.' Wells’ report,
and from the discussions in the press,,what
is the cause of their sufferings. Suppose
the Republican party goes on us it has gone
so long? Suppose it puts off reform ; suf
fers that combination of knavery and ignor
ance which has made our tax system to
tinker at it aud make it, if possible, yet
•worse? What then? Does any Republi
can politician imagine tho people to be so
foolish us not to demand a change, and to
seek it iu the only way in which the people
can get it—-by a chauge of purties ?
Who, then, will save the Republican party
from destruction t Who will regain for it
the confidence of the people? Who will
uuite to impose upou it wise measures, and
denounce us contrary to its objects and
policy ail corruption, ult extravagance, all
favoritism, all partial legislation? Unless
tbe party hit}* leaders competent and cour
ageous enough to do this, it is likely to be
ruined, to fall into general disgrace before
the adtnimstration of Grant is half over.
At the close of another article noticiug
Mr. Holtmau’s resolutions, offered day
before yesterday in the House, the Post
says:
Mr. Holman’s resolutions were excellent.
Both deserved to pass. But docs it notmake
honest Republicans in the House blush, that
on such an important matter as this they have
left the initiative to a Democrat, and are
obliged to tollow him ? What is theleader
ship of the House worth, or what is the
overwhelming majority good for, ii it is left
for u Democrat to take the lead in move
ments for retrenchment ?
The Evening Post is.certainly correct
in thinking that unless the Republican
party mends its ways, and that right
speedily, it will revolt and disgust all
the honest men who beloDg to it, and
drive them iuto the Democratic ranks.
But voluntary reform by a corrupt po
litical party which hasjust carried the
elections, is a miracle uuheard of. This
scandalous party will never reform it
self. But in the next elections, the
questions which are really obsolete will
be acknowledged to have become so;
and as soon as the dead past buries its
dead, there will be a general stampede
of honest men from the Republican
ranks.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
XFN'E HIuVDRED AX'D SIITY MILES.
Of the line West from Omaha nre now com
pleted, aud the work la going on through the
Winter. As the distance between the finished
portion of the Union and Central FaclCc Rail
roads Is now leas than 400 miles, and both com
panies are pushing forward the work with
great energy, employing over 30,< 00 men, there
can be no doubt that the whole
Will be .opou for Business In tho Sum-
The regular Government Commissioners
have pronounced the Union Pacific Railroad
to be FIRST CLASS In every respect, and the
Special Commission appointed by the Presi
dent says:
“Taken as a whole, THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD HAS BEEN WELL CONSTRUCT
ED, AND THE GENERAL ROUTE FOR THE
LINE EXCEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED.
The energy and persevorance with which the
work has been urged forward, and the rapidi
ty with which It has been executed are with
out parallel In history, and in grandeur and
magnitude of undertaking It has never been
equalled.” The Report states that any defi
ciencies that exl-t are only t: »e Incident to
all new roads, and that could not have been
avoided without materially retarding tne pro
gres of tho great work. Such deficiencies are
supplied by all railroad companies after the
completion of tho line, when and wherever
experience shows them to be necessary. The
report concludes by saying that “ the country
has reason to congratulate itseli that the great
work of national Importance is so rapidly ap
proaching .completion under such favorable
auspices.” The company now have in use 137
locomotives and nearly 2,000 cars of all de
scriptions. A large additional equipment is
ordered to be ready In the Spring. The grad
ing nearly completed, and ties distributed for
120 miles in advance of the western end of the
track. Fully 120 miles of lrou for new track
are now delivered west of the Missouri River,
and 90 miles more are en route. The total ex
penditures for construction purposes in ad
vance of the completed portloiTof the road Is
not ess than eight million dollars.
Besides a donation from the Government of
12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company Is
entitled to a Bubsidy in U. S. Bonds oa lta Un«
as completed and accepted, at the average rate
of about 8 0,000 per mile, according to the dffi
cultles encountered, for whlcn the Govern
ment takes a second lien as security. The
Company have already received $22,158,0C0 of
this subsidy’, of whlcn was paid Dec.
6th. and S&10.000 Dec. 14th.
Gorcrnment;Alil-.Securltj’’onue!Bonds,
By Its charter, the Company is permitted to
issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to
the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and no more. These Bonds are a First
gage upon the whole road and all its equip
ments. Such a mortgage upon what, for a long
time, will be the only railroad-connecting the
Atlantic and PaolficBlates,'takes the highest
rank as a safe security. The earnings from the
way or local business jor tho year ending June
30,1868, on an average of 472 miles, were over
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, which, after pay
ing all expenses, were much more than suffi
cient to cover all Interest liability upon that
distance, and the earnings for the last five
months have been $2,386,870. They wonld have
been greater, If the road had not been taxed to
Its utmost capacity to transport its own mater
ials for construction. The Income from the
great passenger travel, the China freights, and
the supplies for the new Rocky Mountain
states and Territories must be ample for all
Interest and otheMiablllttes. No political ac
tion can reduce the rate of Interest. It must
remain for thirty years— six-percent, per annum
in geld, now equal to between eight and nine
per cent. In currency. The principal is then
payable in gold. If a bond with such guaran
tees were issued by the Government, its mar
ket price would not be less than from 20 to 25
percent, premium. As the bonds are Issued
uudi r Governmentauthorlty andsupervlslon
upon what Is very largely a Government work
ti.ey must, ultimately approach Government
prlc s. No other corporate bonds are made so
secure.
The price for the present Is PAR, and accrued
Interest at 6 per cent, from July ], 1868, in cur-
rency.
