THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT.

The rapid progress OF the Union Pacific Railroad,
now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and form
ing with Its western connections, an unbroken line
scross the continent attracts attention TO the value
ofthe First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer the public The first question asked by prudent
investors is, "Are these bonds secure?" Next Are
they profitable investment9" To reply In briei;-
First, The early completion Of thewhole great line
to thePacfc as certain future business event
can be. The Government grant Of over twenty mill
lion acres ofland and fifty million dollars its
bonds practically guarantees 1t. one-fourth OF the
work is already done, and the track continues TO
laid at the rate of two miles q day,
Second The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued
upon what promises to be one Of the most profitable
lines of railroad In the country For many years 1t
be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
ciHc and being without competition, 1t can maintain
remunerative rates. I.
Third. S7e miles of this road are finished and fully
equipped with depots locomotives, cars, etc. and two
trains daily running each way, The materials for
the remaining l4 miles 10 the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains are on hand, and 1t is under con-
tract TO be done in September,
Fourth. The net earnings OF the sections already
finished several times greater than the gold In
upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such
tlons, and If not another mile OF the road built
the part already completed would only pay inte
rest and expenses but be profitable TO the Company
Fifth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be Is
sued only the road progresses and therefore can
never be In the market unless they represent bona
Fde property.
Sixth. Their amount is strictly limited by law to
sum equal TO what is granted by the United States
Government, and for which it takes second lien as
its security. This amount upon the first 6H miles
west from Omaha is only slG,ot0 per mile.
Seventh. The fact that the United States Govern
ment considers second lien upon the road good in
vestment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad
builders OF the country have already paid In i've mill
lion dollars upon the stock (Which is to them third
lien), may well inspire confidence in first lien.
Eighth Although 1t is not claimed that there be
any better securities than Governments, there are
parties who consider q first mortgage upon such q
property this the best security in the world,
and who sell their Governments TO renvest in these
bonds thus securing greater interest
Ninth. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are
offered for the present at 90 the dollar and
accrued interest. they the cheapest security tn
the Market being cent less than United States
stocks.
Tenth. At the current rate of premiums on gold
they pay

The Idea OF Resistance

At Republican meeting in Cincinnati OH Satur-
day. after speeches by Senators SHERMAN and
WADE, of Ohio, Senator THAyER, OF Nebraska,
said:
trct Of Columbia, having left Washington only
night before last While there took speciaI pains
to in .orm myself in relsiDn to the present purpos
es of Mr.. johnson, and obtained what am about
my responsibility as Senator Of the United States,
that to-day Andrew Johnson meditates and de-
signs forci5le resistance to the authority of Con-
gress.. make this statement deliberately, having
received it from unquesuoned and unquestionable
authority.
b cannot point out the occasion on which he may
attempt to use military force. It may be to pre-
vent the assembling OF Congress- or when assem-
bled, If the House Of Representatives passes arti-
cles of Impeachment, or it may be for the purpose
tives to seats in Congress. The question may be
asked "How can he do such thing2" You
recollect that six months ago Governor Swami, Of
Maryland, was elected O. United States Senator,
and that a few weeks Afterward he declined, Civ
ing grave reasons Of state as the cause. 1t was
that Lieutenant Governor Cox, ofthat State, could
not be trusted for Johnsons purposes.
There g to-day standing army in Maryland
an organized mitia fo1ce, such as no other State
in the Union has, Offered mainly by returned
rebels. When the time comes which he looks for,
under some pretence Johnson may declare Mary
land and the District of Columbia under martial
law, and call upon Governor Swami to bring forth
his militia. There is nothing that will deter john
son from his purpose, except when the issue
comes that his courage may fail. i make this
statement that the American people may know the
danger that threatens their peace and safety.
IfPennsylvana and New York give democratic
majorties in the coming elections 1t will emboden
him to carry out his purpose; and hope that you,
the people of Ohio, will be warned in time, and so
cast your votes as to rebuke and prevent the mad
designs of this bad man who is now acting Presi-
dent OF the United States. But gentlemen,
let me say to you that whenever John
son attempts force, and orders any sol
diers he may have under his command
to resist the authority of Congress, his
doom is sealed The fate from which he has
preserved the traitor Jefferson Davis will then
be meted out to him. Aye, when that time comes
5OO, 900 men from Pennsylvania. New York and
Ohio will hy to arms and tramp the soil OF Mary
land to reach tAe beleagucred capital and rescue
it from the hands of rebels and traitors. In con-
clusion, let me say to you who have borne the flag
before the enemy do your duty in the coming
elections; vote for those men who, By their record,
have shown themselves to be your friends and the
friends of the Government. Rally as one man to
the standard OF justice and liberty, and that flag
will vet hoat over united and happy land.
