TAI Union Pacific Railroad has
reached q distance of three hundred
mile, from the Missouri river over the
great North Platte route across the
Plains. Its fine bridges span all the
principal streams which were the terror
of the emigrans, in the days when the
slow toiling team carried him and his
household good, to the mountains Of
gold or the green valleys and plains Of
the Pacific slope. He has no longer
their t%reacherous quicksauds or high
waters to contend with, but the iron
horse bears him safely and swiftly high
above them all-bears him in a few
hours a distance towards his journeys
end which before it took weeks OF toll
some and dangerous travel to accom-
plish. The North Platte Route is now
By all odds the superior route for en-
igration, whether destined for the gold
fields Of Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Ne
vada and California, or the fertile lands
Of Utah, Oregon and Washington. Some
ofi,s mos. formidable obstacles are over.
come by the iron rail, and it is to-day
freer from danger of interruption BY the
incursion Of hostile Indians than any
other Of the leading routes which stretch
out across the Plains and wind over the
mountains on to the Pacific coast.

MANHOOD SUFrRAaE.-It used to be
thought, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that a rose would smell as sweet BY one
name as another. Accepting this as
truth, it is evidently the belief Of our
Radical contemporaries that there is not
as much fragrance in negro suffrage as
there is in a rose hence they call it not
by the name which properly belongs to
it, Of negro suffrage, but, f~orsooth, it is
manhood suffrage" By this little
change, it is thought that the thing will
have a much sweeter olfactory scent.
" Manhood suffrage y So it seems that
we have not got manhood suffrage "
at present. Men do not vote now that
is, only white men vote, and there is no
manhood in them I! It is only negroe,
who possess manhood, in the estimation
Of the lively Radical journalists. Until
he votes, we cannot be said to have any
" manhood suffrage !"

RAILWAYS.

The New York Herald says that the
surface railroad companies may COM
bine, raise their tariffs and reduce their
accommodations as much as they please,
the Government is bound TO pstronize
into existence and rapid constructive
work, the pneumatic railroad, for all
through routes. And who, inquiries
that paper, will ride in dust and general
discomfort, on q surface road, at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, when you can
glide along in the most comfortable
manner imaginable at the rate Of $50
miles an hour? The Herald is undoubt-
edly correct in its prophecy, so far as
the main routes are concerned; and we
expect that within a few years a pneu-
matte railroad from Boston to New York
City, and thence to Washington, through
Philadelphia and Baltimore, will be one
Of the announced grand achievements
of the age. What a capital style Of rail-
way for high trans-mountain route ?
What would be 30 or even a 100 feet Of
snow in the way of the pneumatic? 1t
would signify nothing to the man in the
tube. We very well recollect that so far
back as 1855, q model for a pneumatic
railroad was on exhibition in the ro-
tunda, at Washington, but though the
inventor implored Congressman for a
small appropriation, sufficient for a fair
trial trip, sufficient to build a mile Of
r~oad-,ube, he got laughter at for his i'm
por,unities, and London first received
and appropriated the benefits of his in
v~eutive genius.
There is only one thing that threatens
to stand or rise in the path Of the pneu-
matte railroad. That is the erial car!
If that should take a manageable fight
from San Mateo to our town, then un-
derground or in-tube railroads would be
apt TO be At a large discount. May be
not, however, eve then.

An exchange notes the fact that the
largest amount OF capital invested by
the country during the last few years
has been in means Of transportation.
The fact is also evident thatthese means
Of transportation have not multiplied
faster than the growing wants Of
the nation demanded. With railroads,
civilization advances, as is most surely
proven by the new towns and enterpris-
o. which are keeping pace with the
westward progress Of the two Pacific
railroads throw new life into communi-
ties, organize new ones, quickens trade
BY competition, and opens an outlet for
the home products and an outlet for for
eign ones. The commercial reasons for
building railroads and canals in our
country are great, but not greater
than the political reasons. Nature in-
tended us for one united nation. Means
OF ready communication from one Sec
ton to another not only facilitates do
messic commerce, but it brings their in
habitsnss more frequently together, be-
gets an acquaintance, and a CONNER
eisl interest which is the mos. powerful
band Of union. A Pacific railroad will
make . union extending from ocean to
ocean possible. Railroads and canals
will bind the country together with
frmness which civil war can never shake,
and make such occurrences almost i'm
possible.

GLurTrSe TIL MARKrr.-The farmers
have great fears that they will not find
a market for their products. Last year,
as they say, "every ono went into bar
ley" and the consequence was the price
was reduced during the Winter to FIVE
cents per pound. At this ruinous (?)
rate they closed out their stores, and
when this was done, and the SHOWS on
the mountains prevented the importa-
ton of barley from California, the folly
Of their calculations was shown by the
price at once rising to eight, nine and
ten cents per pound. Now it is a diff
cult matter 10 procure barley, and agents
are hunting for it in Carson Valley, on
the Truckee and on Walkers River, and
making great speculations by bringing
it to our markets. Having tent of thou
sands of acres Of the best land Of the
State and its capacity for production
we'll proven, We should of course pro-
duce enough Of the grains which grow
so well, for our " consumption. In
such articles as wheat and barley, farm
ers should have no fears Of Cutting the
market, nor should they expect a for
tune from two or three acres.-Ree,e

Coop PRospEcrs.-Mr. J. D. Emers-
ley, who returned yesterday afternoon
from the Reveille district By the way OF
Silver Bend, informs US that the pros
poets Of the miners in the southeast are
very promising. In the Hot Greek dis
trict the owners Of the Gazelle had, nf-
ter patient labor developed a fine mine,
from which they were taking an excel
lent quality Of ore. He adds to the gen.
eral testimony in respect of the appear
ance Of the mines in the Reveille dis
trict, and is confident Of their success.
The Fisherman ledge of tho Bullion
Company improved under increased
work, and continued to yield high grade
ore. In the Manhattan district discov-
cry and development gave the highest
encouragement to the parties interested.

HENRY WARD BrroHER held forth re-

HENRY WARD BEEcHER held forth re-
Gently on suffrage, before the Brooklyn
Fraternity, and is reported as follows:
Mr.. Beecher began his lecture by de-
fuing his meaning Of the term ''univer-
sal suffrage" It was, he said, that
every citizen who has attained the age
of manhood, inasmuch as he has an in
terest in the laws, in the Government,
iu the support Of the State, and in the
peace of society, has a right to Influence
the State and its policy, and to express
that influence in the potential manner
employed in the vote. Another name
for universal suffrage, he said, was
"manhood suffrage" based upon the
mere fact Of manhood, and not upon
any class, reasons, or any supposed
preparation of fitness. But universal
suffrage, be commended, was but the car
rying out of the full tendencies Of our
American history. In disseminating his
ideas on this point, Mr.. Beecher boldly
ayowed himself to be in favor Of bestow-
ing the elective franchise upon all men,
with one or two exceptions. Upon the
African, whether he can read or write
or no. ; upon the Chindman in California /;
upon the Indian just so soon as he is
brought within the bounds of a regu-
lsrly organized, civilized society, aud
upon the pauper. The two exceptions
in his catalogue are criminals and idiots.

woMAN AS AN ORATOR.

The Sacramento Bee, Of Saturday, has
an editorial favoring the wide opening
Of the door for female orators. 1t puts
the good time coming, Of perfect equal
ity between the sexes, SO far as choice
of employment is concerned, etc, too far
of, by several centuries; but advocates
helpful efforts toward that end. There
is no reasonable reason on earth,
why a woman should not be permitted
to join any learned profession, and prac-
tice therein, nor can there be produced
a fair and sound argument against her
voting. As a medical practitioner,
woman is fast obtaining a full privilege,
despite the very great and the gross OPP
position that has been encountered by
the ladies who first obtained a diploma
and commenced the business of profess
%sional, scientific healing. This year
there will be not less than a score Of
women on the graduates list Of the
Hygienic Medical school, at New York
city ; and in all, that Institution must
have sent out over q hundred female
medical practitioners. Besides, there
arc now six Medical schools in the Uni
ted States, where women alone are ed
ucated,-three in New York city, two in
Philadelphia and one in Boston. But
we have digressed from the Bees plat
form, which is a resolve in favor Of
woman as an orator. The Bee says:
ain the pulpit she would be most
effective, for woman is devotion itself,
and without her we would have no
"stated preaching Of the gospel" She
| could, from that sacred place, impress
the hearts of others with the buoyancy,
love and reverence Of her own charmed
nature. If the church, which is fast
losing its power among the enlightened
nations, desires TO hold its W in the
progress of events, it must call oma
to be its priestess-its listeners must
become its preachers. The pulpit is
peculiarly tuo ePuCi0 VI "o"", y"
now it is monopolized by the other sex,
and the result is that religion drags. 1t
is only the few Beechers and Surgeons
and Earles that can FIJI the seats and
! crowd the aisles even foran hour upon the
Sabbath, whereas woman with her grace
of thought, her power as a ~diriner, her
wonderful iutuitive knowledge Of the
workings of the human heart, her ready
ability to trace the movements of the
mind in the muscles Of the face and the
| glance Of the eye, and above all, her
great love and uuapproachable devotion
which, in q perfect being, fills the cir
| Gle in which she moves and sheds a ra-
dance of majesty divine upon all around
her, would draw into the folds of the
Christian Church vast multitudes who
otherwise may never find their way into
| the holy places. And atthe Bar, where
Justice sits and Mercy pleads, she would
stand as an advocate without a peer.
Gradually and steadily will she rise to
her proper rank in the business Of life

The difference between the Working
mems Convention and the Eight-Hour
Convention seems to be this that the
workingmen have resolved not to pat
ronize any person or persons who en-
ploy Chinese labor in any capacity, and
the eight-hour men will have nothing to
do with such a resolution. At a pre-
rious meeting the carpenters withdrew
from the workingmen's Convention, and
gave the Chinese question as the reason,
and it is doubtless true that on Thurs.
day night the three or four other asso-
Citations that retired did so upon the
same grounds. They find thar such a
resolution cannot be enforced, and that
by pressing it they only %injure them
selves /; whereas, if they contend for the
eight-hour system alone, and let it stand
upon its own merits, they will meet with
but little opposition.-Sde. Bee.

The WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD

The WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
The Stockton Independent, of May 18th,
speaks Of this enterprise as follows:
Charles n. Fox, President Of the
Western Pacific Railroad Company, paid
a visit on Saturday last to the Office Of
the Supervisors, while the Board vas in
session, and spoke encouragingly Of the
prospect of again commencing labor on
the road and speedily completing the
work. He said that the work would be
commenced on the Sacramento end Of
the route within thirty days from the
present time, and in all probability they
would before the expiration Of the pre-
sent month; also, that it was his firm
conviction tgai the road from Sacramen-
TO to Stockton would be completed with
in ninety days from the present date.

THE PROSPER OF RESTORATION. From
many portions Of the South, and partic-
ulariy from Georgia, South Carolina
aud Florida, comes the cheering intelli-
gence that the people Of that section,
with unexpected unauimity, are prepar-
ing to accept the plan Of restoration
embodied 10 the military government
bill passed at the last session Of Con-
gress. It is not that all its provisions
are palatable to them, but for once
sound reason and good common sense
seem to actuate them, and they submit
gracefully rather than court greater ills
which may be heaped upon them, should
reconstruction be delayed. The Con-
stitutioual Amendment, pure and simple
was far more preferable than what is
now imposed, and had it been promptly
accepted, the whole country would by
this time have had Representation in
Congress. By the rejection Of that
amendment the people were taught a
lesson, and they are not likely to again
take the advice Of those impracticables
who still urge them to stand out longer.

BISHOP RASDALL.-We are informed
that Episcopal Bishop Randall intends
to arrive in Denver on the 25th Of May,
and in Central City on the 18th. We
have been shown an article on Colorado
which is founded on the facts which the
Bishop has presented in his appeals for
money. Considered entirely apart from
the influence they have had for religious
purposes, these statements cannot but
have created the most favorable impress
sions of the and prospects Of
our Territory. The Bishop has been
diffusing throughout the East a knowl-
edge of our vast and varied resources,
and of the progress whick we have al
ready made in civilization. Such cor
rect and liberal statements, coming from
so high q source, cannot fail to extend
the name of Colorado, and give US n
reputation which will do US much good.
The thanks Of u people are certainly
due him for the representations which
he has given of our Territory. His re-
turn will BIO welcomed by his numerous
friends.-Colorddo RegiIter.

BRIDGING THE MISSOURI on THE
MAIN PACIFIC RAILROAD LINE.

The Chicago Republican says that the
report of General G.. NJ. Dodge, Chief
Engineer of the Pacific Railway, in rela-
ton to bridging the Missouri river at or
near Omaha, is published. Three prin-
cipal points are considered practicable
and considered in detail. The first is
known as Telegraph Pole crossing,
which is at Omaha, the landing on the
Nebraska side being on the depot grounds
of the Pacific Railroad. This point is
considered best for q low bridge, the
bottom Of the river being three-fourths
rock and the channel settled. The
"Child's Mill" crossing, some FIVE miles
below Omaha, is pronounced best for a
high bridge, and has the advantage OF
shortening the distance from a given
point on this side of the river some six
miles and a half. Another point some
two miles south Of Omaha is considered
the second best for a high bridge, by
which route the distance is about three
miles shorter than by that first men
toned. General Dodge estimates the
cost of bridging as follows:
l.. High crossing, Child's Mill. Tota!
cost, SSf5, 302 90. Length Of truss OF
bridge, 5000 feet.
2. High crossing, south Of Omaha.
| Total cost, 81, o63, 206 Is. Length OF
truss of bride, $500 feet.
3. Low crossing at Telegraph Pole
and Ainsworth line, with 80 feet grade.
| Total cost, $685. lo 90. Length OF
truss of bridge, 1900 feet.
The crossing at Child's Mill would re-
ouire the building of o mile Of new road
to intersect the road now in use, some
| six or seven miles below Omaha, and
would also lead, doubtless, to the aban-
donment of the depot grounds and ma
| chine shops at Omaha, which have cost
the Union Pacific Company from a mill
lion to q million and a half of dollars.
But the avoidance Of q heavy grade and
six and a half miles Of running distance
would more than compensate for this,
doubtless. General Dodge's report is
pretty decidedly in favor of the Child's
Mill crossing. It is understood, we be-
lieve, that the bridge is not to be built
this season, and the location may not
be definitely decided for some time to
come.

HEpwoRrH DIXON, writing Of Utah,

HIPwoRTH DIXON, writing OF Utan,
says:
In every house We enter, two or three
infants in arms are shown to US. This
valley is, indeed, the true baby land.
For a man to have twenty boys and girls
in his house is a common fact. A mer-
chant with whom we were dining yester-
day could not tell us the number Of his
children until he had consulted a book
then lying on his desk. One Of his
wives, a nice English lady, with the
usual baby at her breast, smiled sweet
reproof on his ignorance; but the fact
was so ; and it WAS only after counting
aud consulting that he could give US the
exact return Of his descendants. This
patriarch is %thirty-three years old. 1t
was by means Of polygamy that Israel
increased in q few generations so as to
c~onfound all sense Of numbers and no
one can mistake the tendency among
these American Saints. Young has
moro children than Jair Pratt than
Hillel; Kimbsll than Ibzan. This rate
Of growth may not be kept up for a
hundred years ; in time it must slacken
of itself for want of supplies; but for the
present moment it exists-not the least
ominous of those facts which a states
