gineers. The one principle that should
control this whole subjsct is, that the road
should be built On the shortest aud the
cheapest line ncross the continent, and where
it will best accommodate the commerce of
the nation. Applying this principle, I think
that up the Valley Of the Platte, the South
Platte and Lodge Pole Creek, Bridger's Pass
Creek Valley, and thence By the most direct
and best line, probably running nfty to a
hundred miles south of Salt Lake to Bau
Francisco, will be found to be the true route
for the road. On the contrary, our friends In
Denver claim that, By tuunelling. the mount

be found down the Grand and the White

ductiyc and with far better gradients, and,
withal, that II is some two hun.
cred miles shorter than the ono on
which It is generally supposed the road will
pass. LIS careful survey prove these asser-

fact that Ben. Holiday, the proprietor Of tue
Overland Stage Line, has now party Of two

a. far ras ve can bcar from the Northwest,
the Fourth of July was generally celebrated,
and with rrcat spirit and enthusiasm. We
record The fact With unalloycd satisfaction.
The Republic needed new sanctitlcation Of
tue 1ay, and complete reyiyiacation Of the
Ideas connected with 1t. The patriotism Of
1hc people, warmed BY recent erents to fever
heat, needed direction. The Democracy OF
The people, In danger Of being oycrborne by
the intense longing for peace, required the
guidance that an uorcstralned expression ofthe
masses in their asaemhlagcs always gives. The
scntImcnt OF Justice needed quiekcning; and
thoughts Of MI needed to be turned, II for
Gnly day, to the eternal truths Of Man, So
ciety and Government, npon which the su-
1crstructure Of our institutions, the happI-
ness and prosperity Of the citizen, and the
hope Of the ages rest.
VIC know nothing Of The general tenor OF
The o,ations 10 which the people listened.
Weicar that In many cases they were not up
TO the demands Of the occasion. Some
speakers doubtless had bnt a dim and uncer-
tatn notion Of the work that the Democratic
Idea has yet to do in this world others,
knowing the work that ought to be done,
feared the potency Of that idea to accom-
pllsh It md get others believed little In the
ide& or lis mission. A large ruu-
Der, prohsbly nearly all, were
content to regard the removal Of
the curse and crime Of Chattel Slavery as the
cnowring achievement Of Democracy; and

Horrible Murder at sjgourney, Iowa.
lFram the Mrseatiua IournaLl


Sheriff Merriam, Of keokuk county, came
up on the western train yesterday With q
man named n. ]. Allen In custody. who was
aHcsted on charge Of killing his wife at Sig
Quincy last Tuesday. When charged with
the crime, Allen denied his guilt, aud said it
was done BY two strange men while he was
working IN the field. Circumstauttal evidence
WINS strong aguinst him, however, and he
wns arrested and taken beforc the magistrate,
who hound him over for so 900 to appear al
the next term Of the district court, which,
being unable to pay, he was started OF to
jail at Oeka1oosa- there being none ut Sig
ou5ney-,under charge Of the Sheriff. They
oyertaken by large number Of the citizens
Of sgcurEcy, who demanded the prisoner,
swearing tleY would hang him on the spot.
The Sheriff gave them to understand
that he would shoot the first one who laid
bands on the prisoner. After considerable
len was taken to stronger jall than the one
at Osknlocsa, fcars being entertained that he
would escape. The Sheriff promised to take
him 10 the Muscatine county jail, when the
crowd seemed satisfied
The whole party then turned back to ST.
goafnsy: Taey bad net gone more thau half
broke out, and fresh attempts were net made " to
etizc the prisoner, but the 1rmness mani
tested On The part Of the Sbcritf. and Aliens
promising to make full confession, quelled
tho mob.
Allen then confessed that after dinner he
went to work in the field, leaving his wife
asleep On the bed, but soon returned to the |
house, and taking single-trce, went to
where shc1ay, and with 1t beat out her brains, |
He gives as his excuse for this hcinous crime,
that lie was engaged to be married to glrt |
fifteen years Of age. He thought he could |
kill bis wife and get out Of the scrape by |
charging 1t to some one else and then settle |
down with Ills new wife,
After this confession the Sheriff and his |
prisoner were permitted to 60 on Their way

Sheriff TOOK tho precaut.on to procure the |
services Of several militia to guard the pris- |

to. There is no doubt, however, in the minds
of the citizens Of Slgou1ney that be is the
guilty man.

where he will remain until the next term Of |

IN ex-Colonel Of the 106th regiment, Just
iceo the Peace and other prominent citizens
OF this place, fo1cIbly took 1t from the train.
In Justice to the citizens named In said dis
patch, we wish to correct the statement.
There arrived at this place cur loaded with
q cannon and wheat thresher, labeled for
Springfield and Lincoln, and as We knew that
Springfield had cannon, the conclusion at
once arrived at was that the cannon was for
Lincoln md the thresher for Springfield, md
seme Of our citizens feeling patriotic took
the field piece from the car, aud when tho
Chief Of Ordnance came in search Of said
cannon that WAS innocently- taken through
mistake, the prominent citizens lent their
aid to the officer In procuring the cannon for
shipment to Elgfn. Upon Inquiry, the Rail-
road Agent informed the Chief of Ordnance
that, owing to the lateness Of the hour, the
cannon could not reach Elgin By the Fourth.
The officer telegraphed the Governor, asking
what he should do. The Governor telegraph
ed back, If the cannon could not reach E!gIn
IN time for the Fourth, to leave 1t at Lincoln.
