EEgE TNEON PACIFIC ESAFLROAD---ALL
RAEL 40 TEAE ROCKY FOUNTAINS.

Not even this country Of great achiev-
mentS, has ever before undertaken any
industrial enterprise SO important as
the building Of a railway to the Pacific
ocean. Less than twenty years ago,
Col. Benton advocated in Congress a
railroad, "Where practicable" across
the country from the Mississippi to the
Pacific coast; bat his moderate propo-
sal was considered to be far in advance
even Of this progressive age. And yet
to-day, more than One-third Of this vast
work has been finished. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company, organized
in 1868, began to build in 1864, had only
fairly got to WORK in 1865, and in Octo-
Der, 1867, have completed five hundred
miles of road which has been pronOun-
ced by Government Commissioners

the eastern end of the line, beginning
at Omaha, Nebraska; while the Central
Pacific Company is building the wes-
tern end, beginning at Sacramento, Cal
ifornia.
The peculiar and impressive features
of the Pacific Railroad, are: 1st, Its inn
portance as national enterprise; I'd,
The especial privileges granted to it by
the Governments; and Sd, The unusual
care taken by Government enactments
for the safety of investments in its secur-
tiles.
The national Importance of railroad
to the Pacific can hardly be overe5tima-
te |. The Government is spending mil
lions of dollars annually in transpOr
ting men and material to its frontier
posts; with railroad in operation,
this expense will be reduced at least
three-fourths. The gold and silver
mines of the Western States and Terri |
tories yield annually about one hundred

Dali Times in New Y0-k.

There is much complaint in New
York of dull times among the mer-
chants. The correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Ledger writes:
Nine out of every ten of them will
tell you they are not making money
enough to pay clerk hire or store rent,
while the tenth will declare that they
can only effect sales by submitting to
enormous sacrifices. The fact is, buy
ers and sellers alike seem disposed to
hold off for while to see what course
congressional legislation is going to
take on the financial question, and al
so to see what is to come of the in-
parchment talk. The future is cOnsid-
cred uncertain, and until the fog clears
up, these complaints Of dullhess are
likely to prevail.

NOW, THEN!

On Tuesday night last, the speakers
at the Radical meeting announced that
the Republican party is committed to
Negro Suffrage. What more do Repub-
licans want to convince them that their
party is determined to make the blacks
their political equals? Hereafter, you,
too, Mr.. Republican, must acknowledge
yourself in favor of Negro Suffrage or
you must leave yourparty. Now what
will you do? Will you swallow all
you have said against this hateful doe.
trine, or will you show yourself q man
and cut loose from the miserable lead
ers who expect to pull you hither and
thither like mere wooden puppet?

IfGeneral Grant accepts the Radical

defeated when similar but minor prin-

Pierce, with all his imbecility, then step

The Herald sees what is in the future.

INDEED!

The Delaware Republican says OF the
Radical party:
mo other party recorded in history,
can boast of having rendered such SER
vices to the civilized world"
That is true. "No other party re-
corded in history can boast of having
exhibited in so great degree as the
Radical party, the workings of hatred,
malice and revenge. In this its servi-
ces to the "civilized world" are unpar-
allclled. They will stand out on the
pages of history as perpetual warning
to the nations, against fanatics, enthu-
siasts and hypocrites. When the Brit
on reads of the banishment of Vallan-
digham, the butchering of Bollmeyer
and the imprisonment of Wall and
Olds and thousands of other citizens, for
opinions sake, he will forget the bloody
history of the Tower, cease to brood
over the untimely fate of Raleigh and
think no more of that stain left upon
the escutcheon of England by the blood
of Mary, Queen of Scots; but, leaving
the dead ola dark age to bury their
dead, he will look around him to mark
those men who in this day of enlighten-
ment, would fix darker stigma upon
the name of his country, by treading
in the footsteps of American Radical
ism. When he reads of a bloody war
made, avOwedly, to bring back into the
Federal Union a people in revolt, and
finds that after that war was ended by
the rebellious people laying down their
arms in good faith, those people were
made to bear the burdens of govern
ment, without being permitted to par
ticipate in the making, or execution of
its laws, he may think of Ireland, and
see and appreciate the wrongs of that
down-trodden satrapy of Britain. When
his attention is called to the five thous-
and millions of debt, weighing upon
the shoulders of the American people,
increased daily by the expenses of an
immense standing army, he may con-
sole himself that Great Britain at last
has found company in her misery of
national Indebtedness. When he finds
that in America the property of the
middle and poorer classes is taxed to
support the government, whilst the
bonds of the moneyed aristOcracy, are
exempt from taxation, he will find a
parallel in his own country, and will
not wonder if the bread riots of Man
chester some day have their counter
part this side ofthe Atlantic. And thus
our British cousin is taught to look out
for that fanaticism which would level
only that it may rise. AS for France,
when her savans shall know the ex-
cesses of Radicaism in the United
States, they will forget that their coun-
try ever had Robespierre, or that ia
Goblin fury once dragged the bones ofthe
dead Bourbons from their graves and
threw them in ditch. Russia, when
she hears of ten States blotted from the
map ofthe American Union, will think
better of the dismemberment of Po-
land, and Austria, as she learns that ten
millions of whites are made serfs of four
millions of blacks, will bear, with SOW
ereign complacency, the reprOach of
Hungarian slavery. In this wise, has
the Radical party rendered great SER
vices to liberty and civilization. In
deed, 'nO other party recorded in his
tory, can boast of having rendered such
services to the civilized world"
