the road reaches the altitude of '8,242 feet,
and on the latter at a point where the-Neva

The road, as completed,•••extends from
Omaha, by way of .s'altitake City, to Sacra
mento. It connects at Omaha with two lines
of road across lowa. to Chicago, and at Sac
ramento uith a line 'for San Francisco. The
distance fronf Omaha to Ogden, is one thou-
sand and thirty-two miles; from Ogden to
Sacramento seven hundred and thirty miles;
so that the Pacific railroad, doubtless destined
before many years to be owned and con
trolled by one company, is seventeen Mt
dr,. 41 and sixty-twd miles in length. San
Francisco is one hundred and twenty miles
from Sacramento ; Chicago is- four hundred
and ninety miles from Otnaba,and nine hun.
dred and thirteen miles from New York.
From New York to San Francisco, then, is a
line of road, on which an important through
business will be done, and over which freight
will doubtless soon be carried without tran
shipment, of three thousand two hundred
and eighty-five miles.

Nuw York was to Boston 4 10 years ago. Go
ing- to Caliil.irnia by our luxurious eating,
-ICeping and drawing-room cars, is a wonder
and a delight as contitisted with the old tedi
,atsness of plains and mountain, or ocean and
isthmus-travel. At noon in New York it is
9a. in. in San Francisco. The line across
the continent is so long that trains upon it
are run by eight or ten different times. Ulti
notely we shall have a doubled set of hands
npon all watches—one for local time, and
one fur a "general time--uniform all over the
world.
In dwelling thus upon the history and sta

'The Campaign of 1' 00. -
The time will soon be at hand for the peo
ple of Pennsylvania to pronounce mice more
upon the issues at stake 'between the two
parties
, A Governor and Supreme Judge are to be
elected, together with members of the Legis
lature, and the usual local otlicers.
The election is one of vast importance and
will be rqgarded with interest throughout the
whole country. -
Last fall the Radicals carried the State ,by
a combination of favorable circumstances
which are not likely to occur again in a long
period. Their nominee was the most popu•
lar man in the party, and by artfully conceal
ing his views, he made thousands of voters
believe that if elected he would not be a par
ty Pre-ident. and thus succeeded in getting
their vote,
Even with all the advantages in their favor,
the Radical majority in October, on the larg
est vote cast in the State, was only a little
over eight thousand, and it would not have
been possible for them to have beaten us had
not the Democracy started out in the cam
paign under a feeling of despondency which
no dc4ree of efforticould expel.
The prospects for success this fall look
more encouraging than we have seen in
years. The new Administration has been
tested, and gives no satisfaction in any quar
ter. Issues of a different chtn;tcter from
those which g ive ;he Radicals their ascgri
daney daring the war, are rapidly assuming
more importance, and on all of them the
Democrats have the; assurance of popular
sympathy.
We look upOn victory as 'almost certain,
if our friends exhibit that.degree of zeal apd
inierest required by the importance of the
occasion. The qpestion rests entirely in our
own hands, and should we fail of success it
will be attributable mainly to our own su
pineness and want of confidence:
The Cost of War.
Th, London Peace Society have just issued
a striking paMphlet, showing the sacrifice of
life and property involved by the conflicts
among the Christian nations of Europe and
America in the space of fourteen yearsL
from 1553 to 196 G—inclusive, and in particu
lar by the wars in the Crimea, Germany, It
(Magenta and Solfcrino,) the United'
State , , Schleswig-Holstein' and Mexico. It
is proved that 1,743491 men perished In the
wars of these fourteen years—a number ex
ceeding the whole pophlation of Illinois.
The cost of these wars since ls.i3 was, on a
very ttukbliate calculation, $8 ,56:i,000,000
an alnountwhich would pay for the construc
tion of railways to an• extent equal to the
circuit of the globe C 23,000 milesl at $350,000
per mile , or it would build anti fill with ob
jests t laid interest 1,530 such magnifi
cent institutions as the Crystal Palace at
Sydenham, at 'F;:.1,000,000 each
The NCw Regi.trT Act.
The Registry law, passed by the last Legis
lature promises to he, like most Radical
measures, a very costly luxury to the people.'
The extra expenses •of making the I.sess
ments and furnishing lists to the election
boards will not average less the 11 $5O per dis
trict, which will be $1 1 ,150 for this county. ,
The blanks to carry out the act, will cost
about *NO. Ikre, then, is an additional ex
pease of two thousand six hundred and fifty
dollars impoqed upon the people of Erie
county, in,order to enable4he Radical leaders
to hamper and oppress them. The cost of
this Registry Law, to the State at large, will
not be less than', V 200.000 ! Nobody,' ac
quainted with the facts, can truthfully claim
that this enorthous additional expense is re
quired by public necessity. Thl old election
system was one of the best ever devised, and
fsgre entire satisfaction to the'otasi of the
pen le.
Don't Like Negroes
Information has been received from Hayti
to the effect that the Government and people
of that island'hre Melly indignant at the ap
pointment of a negro to represent the Goy-
Krnment 4f the United States at that court.
The aristoetatie negroes of lla'yti look down
with e; tcp - ipt upon tileir sable brethren in
this country, and regard the action of our
Government in appointing a negro minister
as, to say the leaSt, a slighting of them, if not
an insult. Their feeling seems to be based
upon the idea that a negro was given the
place because a white man could not be found
ho would take it. All the other nations,
they had white men accredited to their
courts, with the exception of Itayti and Li
beria,dmth negro governments, and nobody
hat negroes would take these places. The
thing is regarded as a good joke at the State
Department and in the Government circles
generally.
Tut Pittsburgh Post is the leading advo

imitated by some•of its cotemporaries, and it

them no less pertinent than deserved. We
endorse every word of the scintence below:
"If there is anything that', all honorable
Democratic newspapers shofild ,avoid; it is
these vile and bitter attacks on those gentle
men who are put forth by their friends for

date by any number of Democrats, should
secure for his pretensions respectful consider

Putting Relatives in °Mee.
When Gen. Washington .was President, a
relative of his, Bustin:KrWashington, made
application for au office in his gift, and re
ceived thcdullow•iug answer:
"lloweicl deserving you may be of the
one you hiite suggested, yourstanding at the
bar would not justify - my nomination of you
as Attorney to the Federal District Court in
preference to some of the oldest and most es
teemed general emirt lawyers of your State,
who are desirous of this appointment. 3iy
political conduct in nominations, even if I'
were uninfluenced by principle, must be ex
ceedingly _circumspect, and ;proof' against
just criticism ; for the eves of Argils are upon
me, and no slip will be passed unnoticed that
can be improved into a supposed partiality
for friends or relations."
Jefferson's views on the mine subject were
equally emphatic. In a letter to his brother,
•
written while lie was President, that illustri
ous man wrote as.,follows : -
"Permit Me to explain the principles which
I had laid down for my own observance. - In
a government like ours, it is the duty of the
Chief Magistrate, in order to enable him to
do all the good;which his station requires, to
endeavor by all bonorableaneans, to unite in
himself the confidence of the whole people.
* * * Towards acquiring the con
fidence of the people, the very first measure
is to satisfy them of his disinterestedness,
and that he is directing their affairs with, a
single eye to their good, and not to build up
fortunes for himself and family, and especi
ally that the officers appointed to transact
their business are appointed because they are
the fittest men, not because they are his re-'
lations. So prone are they to suspicion that
where the President appoints a relation' of
his own, however Iyorthy, they will believe
that favor, not merit, was the motive. I
therefore aid it down as a law of conduct
for myself, never to give an appointment to
a relation."
These are the sentiments of the earlier
Presidents. As a man reads them he feels as
if he were breathing a purer atmosphere
than that in , which we live now. The fall,
too, has been sodden. Except sonic family
post, like that of his own private secretary,
no President in our recollection has put his
relatives in office. It was never before a title
to it, but, on the contrary, an obstacle to be
the President's relative. The rank, gross
nepotism that now has precedence in the dis
tribution of office isthe quick, fungus growth
of the nine weeks of Grant's administra
tion. This is the way it fulfills the Radical
.promise of reviving the times of the earlier
Presidents.
The Truth' about the South.
The New York Times, one of the few cair
did Republican papers, on Monday contained
a lengthy article combating the charges of
the Tribune about the demoralization of so
ciety at the South. After refuting, some of
the Tribune's assertions, the TimiN proceeds
to say that "judged by any fair standard of
comparison, the amount of crime perpetra
ted in the South as a whole, is not greater
than the amount perpetrated among a cor
responding population in the North or West.
There 116 7 ; been an enormous amount of pil
fering by the negroes in some districts; and
it would indeed be strange if the disorganiz
ing consequeues of rebellion, and the sud
den emancipation of millions of colored peo
ple, had not borne hitter fruit. The passions
were bin (I . .eited to subside" on the instant.
These considerations, however poly render
more remark . able the aveTage's amount of
crime, while they deepen the injustice of the
sweeping assertions promulgated by the Tri
bune. At this moment, we. believe, despite
its ;anomalous political' position, Virginia
may challenge comparison - uith any State in
the Union, so far as the amount and nature
of its crime and the administration of its laws
are concerned. The greatest outrages perpe
trated thene in connection with the adminis
tration of justice are chargeable against
friends of the Tribune, Judge Underwood
and Governor Wells; the former of whom
liberated the negro perpetrator of a murder
ous' outrage because the Judge who tried him
could not take the test oath, while Governor
Wells pardoned the negro after the legalit
of his convkaion tad been iffirmed by Chief
Justice. Chase. As for the other Southern
States.—Texas•excepted—we are eonvinced
that life and property an , a; secure there as
-here."

Rise in Gold.
The gold market has been particularly ex
citable under Mr. Boutwell's administration
of the Treasury. At the date of President
Grant's inauguration, gold was iu the vi3inr
ty of 132. Soon kalter, it began to rise, till, on
Tureday last it had reached 143, or eleven
per cent. higher than it 'stood on the Uth of
Makcji. This is anything hut pleasing, and
the bpposile of what the public expected.
The New York papers attribute the rise
to the failure 'of several heavy firms in
that city who have been operating in gold,
the liabilities of one firm alone amounting to
eight or ten millions. But the New York
Sun publishes some Custom House statistics
which show a more substantial and perms
cent reason. Our imports at New York alone
for April amounted to $3Q,354,611, and fur
the first four months of the year to . $11D,517,-
7M, gold valuation ; while our exports for
April were but $17,176,1188, and for the first
four months of the year t 62,579,818, currency
valuation. In such a state of trade, the rise
in gold is inevitable, and if itshould continue,
there is no tellitig where
, the price may go
to before the year is ended.
Flogging for Crime.
The Radical papers expend a great deal of
virtuous indignation over the Practice in I) 1-
aware of llobiging criminals in public, and
stationing them in the pillory, It may be
that this system is a little cruel, but we are
at a loss to see how much better our own
system is of solitaty confinement. Judged
by the results to society at large, the latter is
the least efficient, for it is a well.known fact
that crime prevails to a less extent in Dela ,
ware than in any other State irt the Union.
Since our Radical cotemporarles aro so much
disgusted with the practice, why is it that
.tliey do not interfere to secure - its abolish
ment in equarter where' their labors might
be of some avail. When the Democrats were,
In power at Washington, they abolished
,flogging In the4hiyy, ThLs ytaa "tt relic of
barbarism" and a disgrace to modern civili
zation. American sailors were flogged by
their oificere, not merely for the commission
of crime, but fbr any act of &obedience or
neglect of duty. But no sooner did the Radi
cals got into power than thiy proceeded to
restore it, and flogging is to-daLpmeticed in
the United States Navy, rithdffl a - word of
censure from those who are caused so
much, dbtress by the•custom of a sister State

Bearding the Lion in his Den.
The President last week appointed a Mr.
Edmunds pusttn.tster of Washington, re
moving Col. Alexander a soldier in the late
swat Mr. Edmunds pre.tented'itimself at the
office to take possession, but Col. Alexander
refused to vacate, on tit.: ground that no
charges had been preferred against him, and
that his attorney had advised him that, un
der the modified Civil Tenure-of-Office Law,
the President had no right to remove him;
but most suspend him on charges. The case
promised to be ono of much interest for a
few days, hilt the President took the back
'track, as usual. lie' changed the order for
removal to one for suspension, and the mat
ter will be left for decision by the Senate.
More Indian Troubles.
The story of more fighting with the In
dians on the frontier is not encouraging. It
was given out, that Gen. Sheridan had set
tled the Indian troubles beyond the least fear
of renewal. A telegram now informs us that
our troops under General Clirr have had%
fight with a considerable body of Cheyennes,
in which the latter were badly defeated. The
dispatch does not show that the savages were
the aggressors, although we have had rumors
that the Cheyennes were again about to take
the tar-path.
TETE President has appointed - Gen Sickles,
of' New work, as Minister to Spain. This is
the same man who killed Keys for being too
familiar with his wife, and afterwards took
iter back to his "bed and board." He is a
beautiful specimen to represent our nation in
a foreign country. -

IT IS to be hoped that those patriots Who
are so anxious to get the country into ano

hoped they will not cry out against the-taxes

hoped they will not deal in shoddy or,try 1,1
get contracts. It is to be hoped - they will
-understand themselves before they go in,'and
understand the business into which-they are
going, so that there may be no trouble with

"When we first looked down, in 18:10, up
on the U. S. Senate from, its gallery, Henry

Preston, John J. Crittenden, Willie P. Man

Buchanan, Hugh L. White,eFelix Grundy,

and the body was considerably less numer

and yet we cannot realize that Human Pro

Tat;.; Chicago Tribune asserts that "no pre

blushing disregard of all the requirements of

nois that is now in session. Taken din whole,
the Legislature for 1863 has been reckles be
yond precedent." Or course, the Radicals
have a large majority in that body, and that
accounts for the rascality and want of decen
cy which are exhibited to the public gaze.

Tats workingmen arc deserting thc Radi
cal party in large numbers. The 'demago

which they intentionally framed in such am
biguous terms that the Attorney General is
enabled to construe it .contrary., to its pre

opinion that it mean ten hotinC labor, and
not eight. The result is that laboring men
everkkvbere repudiate the Party whose repre
