Wagon Road Across the Plains.

The California wagon Road Bill intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Weller, has
passed that body without amendment or OBJ
lection. The bill appropriates for the pur-
pose the sum Of 100000, and provides for
a Military road from Missouri to California
via Salt Lake. A correspondent of the bui-
letin says that the fact of the bill having
passed the Senate, must not be taken as an
auguary of it's ultimate success, and init
mates that it will be defeated in the House.
At this particular time the Black Republi-
cans claim to be the particular friends of the
Pacific Railroad, and Notwithstanding they
have majority in the lower House of Con-
press sufficient to elect q Black Republican
Speaker over the most hitter opposition,
they still acknowledge that they cannot
pp IS the Wagon-road bill through the only
branch of the national legislature controlled
by their party. They must be the very par
ticular friends OF the Pacific Railroad, in
deed, if they do not Immediately pass the
Senate bill The people Of California are
deeply interested in this wagon road ar.
rangement 1t will test the soundness OF
the Black Republican professions on the sub
iect of a Pacific Railroad. 1t is a necessary
measure to precede the Railroad. 1t will
tend to the advancement Of California al
most as much as the Railroad itself. 1t is
necessary that we should have Military road
while the Railroad is being constructed.
The democratic Senate have passed the bill
providing for its construction, and it will
receive the sanction of President Pierce the
moment it passes the lower House of Con-
gress. That body is largely Republican
Let them now make good their professions,
or California should place no confidence in
them. 1t is no excuse for them to say that
there are democrats enough in the House to
defeat the measure. There were not demo-
Gratis enough in the House to prevent the
election of a Republican Speaker 1t will
not do to say that it is too late to pass any
bill of the kind before adjournment. Let
the Republicans pass this Military Road
Bill or California will remember their
railroad professions cs so much CANNON
and electioneering buncombe. The action
of the Senate has committed the democratic
party to the measure. Let the Know-Noth-
inss and Republicans in Congress pass the
Senate bill, if they would give force and
effect to their Railroad professions.

The Verdict.

The Corouer's Jury, on the bodies OF
Brace and Hetherington, have returned a
verdict to the effect that deceased came TO
their death by the hand of Robert Nixon
and some other person unknown, aided and
employed by the Vigilance Committee" 1t
is also stated that the body of Brace is to
be embalmcd and preserved for some days
with a view of obtaining further evidence
of murder against the committee. On the
evidence adduced before the Coroner's Jury,
it is probable that warrant will issue for
the arrest Of Nixon, and then will commence
a struggle between the committee and the
authorities. Not an armed contest perhaps,
but a system Of management by which Nix
on could evade the plain provisions OF the
law. Would the committee scruple to en-
ploy such means as have heretofore been
successfully employed in San Francisco, viz:
packed Jurys and suborned witnesses Nix
on was but doing the bidding of the COM
mittee, and of course they must clear him
What means will they employ they can
not always maintain the force they now
have at command, to brow beat and over
ride the authorities. They must, then. re-
sert to the means used by the gamblers and
thieves of San Francisco, to screen them
selves from the provisions Of the offended
law. They will be. compelled thus to
evade the law, or suffer the penalty Of their
crimes. Such will be the effect of their
proceedings. so certain is it that one crime
begets another,

We would here take occasion to say, that

as assaults, street fights, and all else that
may come within the two extremes of the
