CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.)
licensed by an Absolute First Lien Upon tho
Soot Desirable Portion of the
Great National Pacific 1L R. Line,
This great enterprise Is approaching com
pletion with rapidity that astonishes the
oyorld. Less than 400 utiles remain to be
built to connect the Central Pacific Railroad with
the Atlantic lines. The greater part .4'.;.f the in
terval is now graded, and it is.reasonably mr
pectrd that the THROUGH CONNECTION BE
TWEEN.. BAN,FRA.NCISCO AND NEW YORK
'WILL BE COMPLETED BY JULY NEXT.
The western portion of. the Lino, *known as
the CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD, beeldel
havin the largest settlement, the richest mines
the meet valuable lands along its route, is also
built and completed as a 'first-class Railroad in
all respects, being constructed directly by the
Company_theraselves, without the. intervention
of contractors, and In such a manner as to in
sure fuinruistability, economy of operation, and
the permanent value'of the property.
The report of the Special Commission Ex-
ports, recently appointed by the President to
examine the railroad - add telegraph lines of
the Central. yaelfle Railroad Company, tele-
graphed to the Secretary of the Interior Decem
ber 3,1 a full and. specific, and • concladee as fol
lows:
"Heavy trains of rails, ties and fuel are run
ning safely to the extreme end of the road, four
hundred and fortyrfive (445) miles , from Sac
ramento. The road is_ being constructed in
good faith, in a substantial manor, with-
out stint-of—labor, material--or equipment, and
is is worthy of its character as a great national
work." ,
By the aid of the General Government, and val
uable grants from . Callfornla eotirees; the Com
pany have already met the bulk of their expend'.
tures, and have sufficient cash resources to enable
them to finish their work with the utmost vigor.
The iron,and a liberal equipment for thetive bun-
dyed miles now about completed, as well as the
material needful for two hundred and fifty miles
additional, are all bought, paid for, and at hand
for use. The speedy completion of their entire
line, and its success as a grand business enter
,
prise, are no longer matters of hopeful Promise,
bit areplaced beyond all ordinary contingencies.
The business of the road, although in its in
fancy only, is without precedent. THE GROSS
EARNINGS - FROM JULY 1 TO DECEMBER I
WERE UPWARD OF $12,400,000 IN GOLD, OF
"WHICH ABOUT ONE MILLION WAS NET
PROFIT. This result was from local commer
cial business only, at a time when the Company
felt compelled to employ their , available equip
- went, to a large extent, in transporting the vast
amount of supplies required to subsist twelve
thousand: men along a hne ormore than five
IkuidreA miles, and the Material required for ox-
tending the track THREE HUNDRED MILES
during the period, to the temporary neglect of
tie enormous freighting business seddng transit
over the road.
At a late date there were no less than seventy
! nine locomotives running on the road, eighty
more on the way, and over twelve hundred cars,
to 'which the Company are continually making
large additions, so that by the time the immense
tide of THROUGH TRAVEL AND FREIGHT
ACROSS THE AMERICAN CONTINENT shall
be ADDED TO TEE NATURAL AND EX
PANDING LOCAL BUSINESS, and the energies
of the Company, with their immense facilities,
can be devoted to the regular traffic, THEIR
EARNINGS WILL BE ON AN UNEXASI
- SCALE, and their Securities be ranked
AMONG THE MOST POPULAR IN THE
RG ORLD.
The current interest liabilities upon the Bonded
Debt, upon an average of three hundred miles In
„) operation during the above period,were less than
*360,000.
The 'sane of the Company's FIRST MORT
GAGE BONDS is limited by act of Congress, and
will not equal one-third the cost and value of the
property upon which they constitute the first
lien. The greater part of this loan is already
marketed, and is held as a permanent Investment
by the capitalists of this country and Europe.

mainder at 103 AND THE ACCRUED INTEREST
IN CURRENCY.

In a daY or , two the Carriers of theNNE.Nitro
Bur.Lrrni will prei3ent as a New Year's Ad
dress to our subscribers a poem written for
them by Brainerd. Williamson, Vice
Pretildent'of the Press Club of Philadelphia.
We commend this composition to our readers,
as a poem of• more than usual elegance and
beauty. Mr. Williamson establishes in it
even a stronger claim than he had before to
the poet's bays.
THE Gl% LOAN.
To-day the bill authorizing the Gas Trust
to borrow one million dollars will come up
in Select Council. As we have before stated,
this money is needed to replace many of the
mains through the city; and to erect new
gas wOiks upon the'Ddlaware front.to supply
Richmond and Kensington. The', bill was
stopped in Select Council when it was first
presented, several months ago, by the obsti
nacy of some' of the - Democratic members,
who seemed to have a vague idea that their
duty to the tax-payers required that , they
should vote against what seemed to be an
enormous appropriation. We 'hope these
economical gentlemen have ascertained now
Chet the Gas Trust assumes all responsibility
for the payment of the interest and principal
of the loan, and that the only effect the pas
sage of the bill can possibly have upon the
citizens will be to give them more light. If
they have not such information,it will be well
for their fellow members to supply it, that we,
may have the matter settled. Of the neces
sity for an additional supply of gas—in the
upper part of the city particularly—there can
be no'question. The members of Councils
from the higher wards certainly - know that
there is universal coreplaint of the insufficient
quantity, and that the citizens of nearly
every house, in some districts, are an
noyed, almost beyond ,endurance, with
the miserably , poor light supplied from
the - gas-burner& In many places the
mains have„not been touched' for twenty
years, and . nlie the demand has increased to
an enormous extent, with the rapid growth of
the city. the capacity of the pipes remains
the same. Common sense should teach
obdurate Councilmen that a change is neces
sary; and if the members who oppose this bill
lack that desirable and important quality, the
sooner they obtain the testimony of the suf
ferers, the better. Perhaps overwhelming
evidence will bring conviction to their souls.
We hope the bill will not meet with any
opPosition. Of course it will not be prudent
to attempt any extended removal of the mains
at this season of the year; but it will be better
for the Gas Trust to have time to raise the
money and to = prepare for operations early in
the Spring—as aeon as the frost is out of the
ground.
DU. PriccOSWS HORSE.
The very exciting political campaign hav
ing been brought to an end; the Spanish re
volution having been. consummated; the
French utirosx over .the Baud#l affair having
been hitshed without bloodshed; Disraeli
having resigned; Peruvianeerthquakes having
become calmer, there has been an effort to
- Create ill agitation upon the subject of Dr.
kleCosh's horse. Mr. Bonner, of New York,
indulges intense fondness for horses and
clergymen; and of these, Dexter and Dr.
McCosh are his especial favorites. To prove
his high regard for Dr. McCesh he gave him
a horse. New York newspapers, and the
New York branch of the Associated Press,
went frantic with joy and supplied the coun
try with details of the appearance, mettle,
speed and oat-capacity of the fiery steel As
he was a New York horse, of course every
body in that city was ready to swear that he
was the most magnificent animal that ever
pranced. His ring-bone was a halo of glory;
his heaves were balmy sighs of regret that
there would be no more race-course triumphs
for him after Dr. McCosh got him; his blind
staggers merely indicated jocularity of dispo
sition; his glanders a slight cold in his head.
Even the Princetoniane looked at him and
felt glad as Dr. McCosh curvetted past their
windows and showed the paces of the
animaL
But a gloomy hour was at hand. One
night, just before Dr. McCosh went down to
lock the stable door, some irreverent thief
stole the steed away. Dr. McCosh's cquinim
ity was disturbed; the Princetonians tore their
hair, and held indignation meetings, and
passed denunciatory resolutions; Mr. Bonner,
and the New York journals and the New York
Aisociated Press were filled with consterna
tion and wrath, and the mournful intelligence
was spread over the country, that the Ameri
can people might weep in sympathy with Dr.
McCosh and keep a sharp look out for the
sacrilegious Wretch who bestrode Dr.
kicCosh's horse. Those were days of mourn
ing; and as time passed by, fears began to be
entertained that Dr. McCosh's horse would
never return, but that the doctor would be
compelled hereafter to go afoot. The gloom
deepened. But it was the dark hour before
morning. One day the glad intelligence
flashed over the wires from Maine to Cali
fornia,ana under the ocean to the melancholy
millions of Europe, Asia and Africa that Dr.
McCosh's horse was found ! Princeton took
holiday and built bon-fires ; New York
journals issued extra editions with
heavy head lines, and the heart of
Bonner was filled with gratitude.
There was but one alloy to the happiness
of the hour,the man who confiscated Dr, Mc-
Cosh's horse was not found. There is a
mystery about it which even sagacious
Princeton cannot solve. It is a conundrum
which even Dr. McCosh gives up. Before
the question,Who stole Dr. McCosh's horse ?
even the ancient Ethiopian interrogation in
regard to the identity _of the individual who
kleptomaniacked wham shrinks into Wm.
portance. For ourselves, we are glad Dr.
McCosh can once more straddle his barbed
steed and navigate the atreets of Princeton;
but in order that the whole universe may not
be agitated, and kept in such painful suspense
again, we sincerely hope Dr. McCopir will
have that horse better protected in the future.
There may be a general war in Europe, and
if Dr. McCosh's horse should break loose at
the same time, the war might not receive as
much ,attention from the newspapers as it
deserved.
CAPITAL.. OFFENCES IN AVIS
The question of the removal of the seat of
the National Ciovemment to a! more . Western
and central position than Washington has
often been discussed. Aside from political,
geographical, social and commercial reasons
for the removal, there has been a very cogent
one presented I),y pope of culture and taste.
That is, that theramoval Would ;enable us to
get rid the monstrosities in art that dis-,
grace the nation Washingttin, without
being open t'o the accusation of iconoclasm or
vandalism. It would be an easy and not un
graieful way of aliandoning-2 ',AL the e x i s ti ng
illustrations of our national art inits infancy;
leaving our 6rude; Aliabby,'`vnigat'and tawdry
imitations of old or new-European art to go
to decay amid the ruins of old Ykrasbingtork,`
whither an occasional pilgrim , might go, as
pilgrims now go to the sites of Nineveh or
Carthago. American art, rid , of the (mourn
. branceS thrown' around hy the jobbing
works of politlealAkreteilders aestheticism,
might take a fresh drat in some ~now Wash
ington in the valley of the' Mississippi. At
least therenkiglit ikra'thns begun,
and the historians and critics of . the twenty.
ninth, Christian Century Col& date from , the
nineteenth, a reinelial, if not an advance, in
American art as recorded in national works.
Scarcely any rarebit; having n -- particle of
taste and national pride, \can have felt a pang
of sorrow on reading aj report, lately circu
lated frorn Washington; that the 'paintings in
the. Rotunda of the Capitol are fast going to
decay. Their condition is_declared to be
hopeless, and some:tender- hearted creatures
profesa to regard this ea a national calamity.
Weir's picture in the Ilatunda is rather clever.
il
but it is weak arl over-sentimental, when 1;
is viewed as a representative of art in a rude,
but vigorous and Malittiline - republip. The
other Rotunda' pictirea are positively bad, no
matter how they are 'regarded: Trumbull's
four contributions are the,est, but:their only
merit consists in theirrealism, and in the fact
that they contain good portraits of many of
the men , of the revolutionary period. If they
are going to decay, let them be • copied byA
fair sign painter, or bytee photogrOhic p o
CCU; so that their authentic likenesses may
be pieserved, and that posterity may know
howled the art of painting was in the youth
ful days of the Republic; The copies will
answer all the purposes of the_ eiriginah),
when a Macaulay or, a Ruskin Of the twenty
ninth century shall undertake to write about
America and Araerimm art ,a theusand years
before. As for the other • so-called artists, -
below the grade of Weir, whose canvases
are rotting on the walls of the Rotunda, they
might be entitled to - the - , honors - of -- photo
graphy; but when the originals of their works
shall crumble Into dust,' no Connoisseur, in art
will weep.
There are some sculptures in the Rotunda
which, unfortunately. are not in danger of
destruction by
,the " dry `pit" which has at
tacked the pictures. Removing the seat of
government would afford a nice opportunity
of leaving - behind,' or destroying, or losing,
accidentally or Otherwise, these marvellous
works that were considered artistic a half
century ago. There are also scattered through
the Federal city various Airings in bronze and
marble' for which the Government add
prices as statues; and, if an "account of
stock" were taken, these would, perhaps, be
appraised at a good many theusands of dol
lars apiece. The Greenough ."Washitigton' ,
in marble, the Clark Mills "Jackson" in
bronze, opposite the White - }louse, 'and the
Clark Mills "Washington" Orther west on
the avenue,are among the-moat famous of the
sculptured monstrosities of the national seat of
Government. • Lacking an earthquake, or a
British invasion, or,'a .rebel sacking of the
city, there seems to eno way of getting rid
of these'' hideous 'things but moving away
from them. Establish the'seat of Government
at St. Louis, or Chicago, or Quake, or
Santa Fe, or Peoria, or Chelenne, 'or any
where in the MiSsissippi Valley,,and we could
leave behind these and other frightful things
that terrify and shock the sojourner in Wash
ington, as much as does McCulloch's obsti
nacy, or Welles% graimyism, or Seward's
long-winded diplomsoy, or Richelieu Robin
son's fustian, or the Whisky RMg's corrup
tion, or . even . Andrew Johnson's perfidy. If
a pious sentiment should make it necessary
to attempt to carry to the nei capital these
monsters of such hideous mien, they could be
accidentally dropped in the Mississippi. Left
there, they might be dug up or fished up some
hundreds of years hence, and in their disin
terred state, they would prove really inter
eating to people of antiquarian tastes,curious
about American art in its earliest stages. As
they now stand,they are deformities,disgraces
and nuisances.
All that is really meritorious in the archi
tecture, the sculpture and the painting belong
ing to the Government in. Washington, could
be removed to a new bite in the West for a
sum less than the Government is cheated out
of everyJnonth by unscrupulous office-holders
and politicians. There, would still he left on
the banks of, the Potornac' such a oollection of
dreadful things as would, make the fortune of
any enterprising man who ,would buy up the
old' "District," with its
,Contents, to preserve
and exhibit as' a M 111306111. ''of ninnstrosities,
with a special "clutnitm,r r of hprrors" devoted
to sculpture and painting. c
Our special despatches inform us that the
Danish Minister of War ill in Washington for
the, purpose of urging the ratification of Sec
retary Seward'a treaty with Denmark for the
purchase of the Islandof St. Thomas. It is
very much an open q uestion whether we do
or do not want this Wand. Certainly we do
not need it as badly as_Denmark does our
dollari3. 13tit if the Senate in its wisdom deter—
mines to confirm the purchase we hope most
sincerely some arrangement will be made by
whichihe money disbnreed by the Treasury
department will find''.its way.untouched into
the Danish Treasuri. Considering, the( im
poverished condition'of King Christian's ex..
chequer, it will be cruel to permit the har
pies of the Washington lobby to fill their
pockets from the fund before it leaves : the
country. At least one of the high contract..
ing parties should gain, some advantage from
the bargain, but ft political brokers are to
have heavy-commissions out of the money,
and, as is most likely; the island is rent by
earthquakes, scorched by volcanoes, blown
around by hurricanes, and washed away by
tidal waves, neither,one party nor the other
'will be any better off than they were before
the sale was effected.

SIXTH DAYis raompllittS.
Ovim sun Trousionn—Judges Brewster and
Ludlow.--After the. startliug evidence given last
evening by ; Dr ., Levis, it was anticipated that the
prisoner would lose much of the courage he has
heretofore exhibited. But be was not as sensi
bly affected se were his counsel who, listened to
the terrible recital 'of blood' With • countenances
that stowed that they were taken by eurprise,
Twitchell, however heard unmoved that forty
five distinct s pots of sprinkled blood
were found upon . the right sleeve of
his coat, and, that the sprinkles were made, by Jets
froth allying body,the heart being the propelling
power, or were scattered by the swinging of an
instrument; that twenty-nine sprinkles were
found on his ebb', bosom, the spots indicating
that they were upward , and :award, (as though
coming from a body placed below the level of, the'
Waist); that his shirt cuffs, found in the house
afterwards, bad blood on,and thaten attempt had
been wade to wash it off. But above all,
when the Doctor; by means of - the
knob the oil cloth in the entry, and the blanket,
traced the murderer direct from the dining:room to
his own bed; the case, indeed, looked conclusive;
and yet the prisoner eat unmoved, excep t that
when the next witneesstated that he didn't, know
Mr. flagert, and was with mock gravity intro
dneed by Mr. Mann, he smiled!'
This morning bp still appeared "calm and col-
Jetted " and so continued - throughout the day.
