RAILRoAs SuRyEv-Mr. Elliott
the engineer employed to survey a
railroad route from this city to Aul.
burn, completed the field work
and returned here on Saturday last
He is now industriously engaged with
his assistant. Mr. Ostrom, in getting
mp a profile map of the line Of survey,
and writing his report which will be
shortly forthcoming.
Mr.. Elliott has succeeded far be-
yond his most sanguine aaticipations
in finding a most excellent route for
railroad. considering the nature of
the country There is no serious OBJ
staclc to surmount on the whole line.
A grade not to exceed eighty feet TO
the mile in any place has been estab-
lished. The excavations and filings
are slight compared with those on
many railroads in the E astern States
The road from Boston to Portland
runs over moro unfavorable ground,
and that from Concord to Franconia
is infinitely worse.
BY the line of survey, but about
twelve miles of road will be in this
county. The route runs so az to in
terest upper Placer greatly in its cor
struction. Thus Nevada ard Placer
may be counted as almost unanim ous
in favor of building the road, while
we learn that the northern part of
Ell Dorado istaking considerable in
terest in it.
As soon as the report of Mr.. Elliott
is published it will be found advisa
bic we are certain. to take immediate
steps to organize a company in CON
nection with the company underta-
king the work between Auburn and
Folsom, and proceed TO an earnest cf-
fort in behalf Of the railroad connec-
ton with the cities below, so necess-
ary to the development of this section
ofthe State.
The road between Auburn and
Folsom will be constructed at an ear
ly date. The contract for building
it, it is reported. will shortly be let.
By timelr action on the part Of our
citizens the whole road from Nevada
to Folsom may be placed under the
supervision of one company and that
part between Auburn and Folsom let
as section Of the whole. This
would be desirable as obviating the
difficulty which might arise, of form :
ing a connection at Auburn should
the road be built under the auspices
of two distinct companies.

Msurance.-No little interest has
been excited in Great Britain by an
eqpose Of the affairs of the Liverpool
and London Insurance Company from
Mathew Forster, a member of the
company's Board. The interest ha,
extended to California, and we find
the San Francisco press ventilating
the British Company that the public
may not insure in worthless con-
cern.
1t appears that the Liverpool and
London Company has been doing bus
mess, in the looscst possible way and
is not safe. An article on the out
side on the subject will be found in
teresting to all and perhaps profitable
to some.

- Wilson Flint publishes a card
in the San Francisco Times, saying
that he intends supporting the nomi-
nee of the Chicago Convention who
ever he may be, that he is in favor of
the doctrine of popular sovereignty,
but as tn ere is no party to stand by
it, he prefers to unite with the party
advocating congressional prohibition
of slavery, that the South threatens
to dissolve the Union and he prefers
not to leave the inheritance Of that
danger to his children, but to see the
crisis met in his own day and set
tied. Mr.. Flint declines being can

PRESENTATION RAFFLE. = The
schedule of prizes in grand gift en-
terprlze by Mons. Liebert, TIE Broad
street artist, will be seen in ottr col
umns. We call attention to it from
the novelty of the scheme. A person
holding one ticket has a chance to
win one of the prizes in the list A
person holding two tickets has two
chances in the same list and is also
entitled to fine Ambrotype likeness
of himself worth two dollars. A per-
son holding ten tickets, besides the
chances in the list is entitled to fine
ten dollar ambrotype of himself, aud
so on. The prizes are valuable and
the plan an excellent one, as if every
patron takes two tickets or more,
therei is no blanks. The pictures are
counted worth the values ASST igncd
them, and will be taken at any time
on the presentation of the tickets
We predict that the three thousand
tickets in Mons Liebert's novel rattle
will go off like hot cakes.

$1,000 cash oil hand. The public

ing in debt. Since the last report
the Indebtedness of the fund has in
creased 81, ,33S, AS we showed some
weeks since, the attention of our leg
islature should be directed particular
" to the condition Of the INDECENT

NEVADA JOURNAL
FRIDAY MORNINc, FEB. II, 1860.

The PORE AND THE CONGRESS.-
We have received from Henry Payot
the publisher through Henry Muller,
Of Commercial street, who has them
for sale, pamphlet copy Of the eele-
brated articles which we believe, orig
inelly appeared in the AIoniteur, on
the settlement ofth Italian question.
The document is said by some to have
como from the pen of the Emperor
of,the French himself. At least it is
supposed to reflect his opinions on the
delicate question of the proper power
TO be exercised in the Italian States
by the Holy See. The argument of
the pamphlet is weA made and would
do credit to crowned head. 1t has
created no little sensation in the
courts of Europe, and its influence has
not yet reached its limit.
The object of the argument is to
show that the temporal power of the
Pope should be restrained to very
contracted bounds; that the Pope
should reign at Rome with a limited
territory /; that his government should
be paternal, rather pontiiieate than
a dictatorship; that he should rather
raise his hand to bless than strike.
The position is taken that Ronnagna
should not be restored TO the tempor-
nj power cf the Holy See, and it rs
proven that it is next to impossible.
The people are opposed to it. The
policy of maintaining an odious gov
ernment by foreign Intervention is bad
and must fail. France cannot con-
sent to he the instrument Of force.
She cannot consent that Austria
should be the instrument without a
shameful abandonment Of the glories
of Magenta and SnIfeiino. Austria's
dominion in Italy is pronounced at an
end. The point arrived at is, Il at all
Europe assembled IN Congress should
settle all questions touching a repair
tition of territory and The revision of
treaties. The author lays down the
proposition that he States of the
Church are not indivisahle, but that
they can be contracted IL territory
by Congress, AS they have been en-
larged and contracted by Congresses
befcre.
The document is exceedingly we'll
written. Its language is moderate
yet forcible, and its doctrines plaus>
able il not absolutely indisputable.

Pay Up.-We understand that a
considerable part of the subscription
to defray the expense of railroad
survey to Auburn still remains un-
paid, and that the failure of Grass
Valley to "shell out" the amount cal
culated upon to accomplish the sur
vey, leaves the engineer somewhat in
arrears even if the amount subscribed
in this city is all paid in.
The surveying party did nobly,
performing a great deal of hard labor,
which should be compensated, The
fact being now established beyond
a peradventure that we are accessa-
BILE by railroad, should make us all
feel rich enough to pay for demon
strating it.

Singular CustOm.-The Honolulu
Adrertiser says it was formerly the
custom and still is to some extent to
dispose of the bodies of the chiefs of
the Sandwich Islands in the follow.
ing manner: The principal bones of
the body were taken out scraped
clean and committed to the sacred
keeping of a relative or near friend of
the deceased. The remainder of the
body was taken out to sea in canoe,
and under a guiding star committed
to the deep.
Sume years since, queen of unpro-
nouncable name, embrace Christian
ity, and ordered the sacred relies of
her ancestors to be destroyed and bod
les to be buried after the civilized
fashion. So strong, however, is the
old custom rooted in the prejudices
of the people that in spite of the laws
of the realm, the sepulchres of chiefs
are said to present "A beggarly account
of empty boxes" to this day.

CAPITAL Notwithstanding to
call published in the NEVADA
JOURNAL, the citizens of Nevada met
at the Court House on Saturday even
ing, February 11th, 1869. to take in
to consideration the propiety of re-
moving the Capital from Sacramento
to San Francisco. The meeting was
called to order, and on motion Of j.
BeDce Van Hagen, Col. G. w. Whit
man was elected Chairman, and Nat.
P Brown appointed Secretary. Al
ter full discussion by the meeting.
the following resolutions, offered by
Henry Meredith, were unanimously
adopted
Resolred, That We believe the re-
moval cfthe Capital from Sacramento
to San Francisco to be fraught with
evil to the best interest of the people
of this State--as likely to prolong
legislative sessions /; to corrupt legis-
lation to transfer the legitimate
right of control and influence from
the mining and agricultural popula-
tion and interests over to capitalists
and political speculators-furher, as
likely to concentrate political power
in large city to degree dangerous
TO the common welfare-in one in
which the Government OF flieial au-
thority of the State may at any time
be driven away or Frustrated by ene~
mics invading us from abroad OF by
vigilance mobs at home.
Resozred, That we deem it not only
an act of public policy. but of Justice,
that the Capital would remain at Sac
ramcnto city: and that wisdom and
economy unite in calling for an imme
diate appropriation Of the public mon
ey sufficient to erect Capitol bnild-
ing at the same time amrle enough
for the wants, and in keeping with
the credit and character of this State.
RoSozred, That the Senators and
Assemblymen from the county of Ne
vada, as representatives. of ore of the
largest tax-paying and most popuious
counties of California, be requested to
carry out, with the best of their abil-
ity, the following resolves.
On motion, the Secretary was in
structed to furnish copy of these
resolutions to the NEVADA JOURNAL,
Democrat, Hydraulic Press, Grass
VALLEY National, Sacramento Union
and STANDARD also to the Senators
and Assemblymen from Nevada
