DIPLoNAuc-The only objection the presi-

that il requires our government TO enforce It's
own laws against fihuslerism. This the pFesi-

would expose the administration TO severe re-

The ST. Louis Democrat notices the fact that
a convention of the Pacific states is to be called
to consider the question of the Pacific railroad
and suggests that the best plan to get Pacific
railroad is for the Pacific states and the state of
Missouri, and others on this side interested in
this great measure, to get rid of their national
democratic members of Congress and Senators.
These men are a much greater obstruction to
the road than the mountains and the vast plains
between the Pacific and the Mississippi river.

MosrEsASA RAmRoAD.-We learn that the
Nontesana and Deer Greek Railroad Co, are
pushing ahead their work rapidly. The road
is now graded for distance OF $500 feet, CON-
nencing at the Oriental Quartz Mill aud run
ming up Deer Greek. and the track is laid for
about ], 800 feet 1t is the intention Of the com
Pany TO complete the road for about one mile
in length at present, and as quartz leads are
opened above il will be extended for a mile or
two further up the creek The road is con-
structed for the purpose Of conveying quartz
from the leads to the mills, and has regular
inclination the whole length. SO that one mule
can easily draw a ton of rock to load. The
total cost Of the road is estimated at about
5000, and when few more quartz leads are
opened along the creek we have no DOUBT it
will pay handsome per centage on the invest
meat
