AN exchange gives the following de-
scription Of the manner in which Pacific
railroad track Is laid:
A small car having been loaded il
the same manner and with the same
precision al the large ones had been,
was run forward to the end Of the track
by horsepower, A couple Of feet from
the end Of the rails already laid down,
checks were placed under the wheels,
stopping the car at C. Before it was
we'll stopped, a dozen men grasped a
rail on each side, ran it beyond the car,
laid II down in its chairs, guaged 1t,
and ere its clank 10 falling ceased to
reverberate, the car was run owe 1t and
another pair Of rails drawn out. This
process was continued as rapidly as a
man could walk. Behind the car fol.
lowed a a dropping spikes, another
setting the ties well under the heads OF
the rails, and thirty or forty others driv-
ing in the spikes and stamping the earth
under the ties. The moment that one
car was emptied Of its iron, q number
of men seized 1t and threw II off the
track into the ditch, and the second
followed on with It's load.

VALUE OF PRAorIcAL MES.-A striking
proof Of the value of practical men over
the brilliant but visionary men who so
often start up 10 the affairs of the world,
in shown in the recent movements and
reforms in Hungary. There the national
party have secured a liberalized consti-
stution, and q recognition Of their ma
tionality, which all the violent revolu-
tionary movements Of Kossuth and his
adherents during the last twenty years
failed to effect. This is simply the re-
sui. of the difference between visionary
enthusiasts like Kossuth, and plain,
practical men of affairs like Deak, who
is the present leader Of the national
party in Hungary. Other countries and
peoples in Europe have suffered in the
same way on account OF being afflicted
with similar incompetent agitstors.
Lam.rtine, at the time Of the Revolution
Of ls4s, with Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin
and others, in France, sacrificed the re-
public at that time BY straiuing after
uua.tainable things. Mszziui and his
fellows were q similar misfortune TO
Italy, and we fear that Garibsldi, with
all his devotion and patriotism and fear
less Yalor, will finally be ranked in the
catalogue ofimpracticables. These men
fail to understand the wisdom Of making
the most of things as they find them,
and they lose the chance Of doing the
good that is within then reach, by
strsining after theorstic perfection that
is never likely to be attained by men on
this earth. 1t will be a grand day for
France and Italy and Germany, when
their great republican and democratic
parties shall be led by men having the
Same practical good sense that has been
manifested by Deak in Hungarian affairs,
instead of having their energies wasted
aud their hopes disappointed by the
visionary and impracticable dogmatism
ofmen like Mazzini and Kossuth.

SOCIAL CHANGES SourH.-A Mont
gomery, (Ala.) correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Commercial, writes:
"The time of palaces of Grecian and
Roman architecture with the American
appendage, the slave quarters, seems to
have gone by. Before the South will
want any more such residences that can
only be kept up at a cost Of labor IL
must have more houses which the man
Of ordinary and lower circumstances
can support. The people you meet in
tho streets are Of an entirely new and
different class from those | once knew.
Those long-haired young gentlemen in
broadcloth, with gold-head canes, and
carrying ~revolyerS in pocket, are gone.
This element, the first, foremost and
fercest during the whole rebellion, has
entirely disappeared. Many were killed
during the war; some have gone to
New York; and others are now
rowing in Texas. Of the elderly
people, I frequently meet a %counten-
ance which I have known when the
burtheus of life seemed to be rest
ing lighter on it than It does now.
Yesterday / met a man who, six years
ago, was very busily engaged in sending
a6oiitionists out Of the country. was
present n evening when he told a
friend of mine that if he would not leave
town within the next tw%enty-four hours,
he would hang him. The way this
wretch looked yesterday, | pitied him.
Instead of q fine black cloth dress, he
wore a dirty jean suit, a ragged shirt
without a collar, a pair Of dilapidated
shoes, and an old hat. His looks were
haggard, his head bowed down, and his
nose very red.
The Germans aud especially the Jews,
Of which there are quite a number, /
End pretty much the same as before the
war. How they managed to keep out
Of the army seems miraculous. They
have stsid at home, accumulated wealth
and added to the population. Only a
few have lost their lives in the field.

EseLASD'sd isinclination, of late years
TO interfere in affairs on the continent
Of Europe, is explained in q new way
by the Paris Pays. That journal states
that formerly England considered her
self perfectly safe in her ses-girs isle,
and, in consequence, put herself promi-
nently forward, not being afraid Of re-
prisals. But at present, when a land
ing can be effected on her shores with
mathematical precision, by means of
iron-cased steamers, she thinks the
most prudent course is to change her
policy, and prevent such q catastrophe
by the maintenance of neutrality.

EDITOR GOLD HILL NEws-Sir: In cir
cular No. II, Supplement to Circular Of jan
uary 18th, 1867, in relation to mining claims,
the Hon. Commissioner Of the General Land
Office says:
"Sd. Should a party appear as an adverse
claimant as contemplated by the sixth sec
ton OF the Act. you will require such person
to show, by proof the claim or interest he
may have in the mine; and should the same
be satisfactory to you (Register and Receiyer)
all further proceedings will be stayed until a
final settlement and adjudication shall be
had in the Courts. But in case the adverse
claimant. after proceedings have been stayed,
shall fail to institute action in the Courts,
either pending or at their next ensuing ses.
sion, with view to the anal adjustment Of
the claims, you will proceed with the case as
IL no objections had been filed"

Despite objection on the score OF
'good TASTE" raised by Apostle Paul,
ofthe Sacramento Union, we shall again
interfere in California politics, and-say:
there is no excuse whatever for a bolt
in San Francisco. There -alftho pro-
tessed Union men participated in the
primaries, or were called uponto do so
by every Union or independent Journal,
and from every Union chapel In Sac
ramento 1t was different. AT the Capt.
tai there was q division, direct and no.
torious, and rendered in form, at the
primaries, and by separate primaries.
But the San Francisco preliminary can
vass gives no history in support of the
division there. It is an out and out
''bolt" there; and the record will be for
the telling of the unreliability (mild
word) of Fay and Company, SO long as
they shall trouble their neighbors with
their ambitions. Fay and his friends
took part in the primaries they now de-
nounce, and expected to win through
them. They failed; and fouled.
We notice that the Sacramento Union
which declares itselfa great luminary
in a naughty, dark world, 10 very..eare-
full not to praise the new nominees of
the Revise Republican Committee, lest
it again laud those whom 1t o will
be required to stigmatize as apostates.
Fay is described as an excessively pop
ular man, personally, (Which he is not),
but neither he nor Nickerson get a word
of direct compliment. Nickerson will
be remembered as the Ell Doradau who
had a decidedly personal discussion
with Tom. Fitch, in 1852, at Placeryillei
which discussion was reported for and
published in the Sacramento Union.
Fay was formerly Chief Internal Revenue
officer in San Francisco; and also distin-
guished himself peculiarly as President
Of the North Beach Railroad Homestead
association. He is IN inveterate office
seeker " willing !" to take anything he
can get in the way of official endowment.
He is not so pompous as Bidwell. Nick
erson is very tall, and SO inexcusably
thin, that Captain Baby of the Pacific
Mail steamship company has told US
that he frequently witnessed Ben's in
effectual efforts on deck, at sunrise, to
cast his own shadow. He is really the
smartest man on the whole revise be-
ing a good talker and very energetic
and practical in all his strides.
The Sacramento Union is putting on
the airs Of injured but not ravished in
nocence. This is i%nexcusable. o, sal
low saints Of Sacramento you make
yourselves ridiculous. You are against
peculation. How about the city print
ing for poor debt-ridden Sacramento,
in early times? And-to skip a long
roll Of like inquiries,-how about get
ting Mayor Clark to vote for the Bulk
head, in order that tho Capitol appro-
priation might carry, publishing all the
Bulkhead speeches for a heavy sum, and
then turning round and denouncing all
who favored the Sea-wall bill? How
you do love the dear people. To say
the simple truth Your avarice, hypoc-
racy and effrontary are scverally amaz-
| ing.

VIZ have managed to wade through
Fay's letter of acceptance, Of the Revise
nomination. It says, in substance, that
Gorham is an infamous man, and that
Fay is altogether lovely-morally, men
tally and politically. he seeks to be
sententious, evere and sentimental; aud
he i, silly. We fall back OF Bidwell,
as u FIRST choice-in preferenee-as
heretofore amiably expressed. Can't
lure us with such o Fay.

II OUR Government is the best upon
the face of the earth, it is probably be-
cause we pay the most for It. The best
articles generally cost the greatest
prices. Last year the bill for running
our Government in its Federal and
State relations, amounted to the modest
little sum Of eight hundred millions of
dollars, or about thirty dollars per
year to each man, woman and child in
the country. Now a luxury is a good
thing, but sometimes We have to dis
pense with it because it costs too
much for our means to afford It. We
humbly submit that good as q Gov
eminent is, it's getting little too expen-
sive. If things 60 on in this way, we
do greatly fear that we shall have to put
up with a poorer Government, simply
on the very plausible ground that we
can't afford It. We want other nations
TO adop, our institutions, but lol If they
desired to they could not, on account Of
the pen attending i'll The French
and English governments combined
don't cost more than ours, and yet those
nations arc dissatisfied because their
governments are not cheaper. This
Consideration somewhat diminishes the
privilege of self-goyernment, iuasmuch
as no nation can long stand the expense.

DAMAGES for injuries sustained from
railroad accidents are usually awarded
by juries without much cavil, for there
seems always to be a prejudice against
corporations. Two curious cases,
brought by persons in England against
railroad companies, are reported. A
Mr.. Martin sued the London and North
western Railroad. His case was that be
had taken passage in the Scotch mail
train; that as the train moved out Of
the depot it ran into some cars which
had been left by accident on the track,
and that the shock injured his spine.
A great deal of medical testimony was
taken, and it was somewhat discordaut.
Five physicians testified that in their
opinion the case was likely to have an
u~ufavorable termination. On the con-
trary, three other physicians testified
that Mr.. Martin had no disease f-the
spine, and would o recover; whilst
a fourth declared that the plaintiff
fancied that be suffered pain and would
get quite well as soon as the lawsuit
was ended. The jury awarded S2,5oo
damages in addition to So, $50 previous
ly paid the plaintiff by the company.
The second suit wa that Of q Mr.. Chap
man, who sued the Brighton Company
for damages. His case was that in 1865,
he sent a mare from Brighton to Cory
don in the care of a groom; that the
horse-box in which she was placed was
out of repair, the nails sticking through
the padding, and that in consequence
she received injuries which made it
necessary to kill her six months after
wards. In this case there was but q
novel feature. Usually it is the cue Of
the plaintiff to enhance the value Of his
property and that of the company to cry
it down. But the groom had signed the
contract note for the transportation of
the animal without specifying that she
was worth more than $500. Hence, if
the company proved that the mare had
that, or u greater value, they would be
freed from liability. This reversal Of
the usual tactics created much amuse-
ment in the bar. The damages finally
given were S236. GG0
