New YoRK, March 11.LEarIy
yesterday morning, two rufians named
VIM. Strip and VIM Cunningham
broke into room occupied by a lady,
In Branch's Hotel, and knocked her
down and kicked her in most shock
ing manner. Strip was arrested, but
Cunningham escaped. No cause is
assigned for the outrage.
The sale of st. Johns Park to the
Hudson River Railroad Company.
for one million dollars, is COM
pleted. Four hundred thousand
Of the amount goes to Trinity Church,
and the remainder to the owners of
the property fronting the Park.
Several young men were arrest
ed Sunday night for robbing the store
of H Eurequin & Co. Broadway
robberies have been quite frequent for
long time, and it is estimated that
$4,000 worth of dry goods have been
taken in all.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has sent instructions to Col
lector Shook to seize all distilled spir-

than government rates.
The correspondence has been
published to-day, relative to the case
of Michael O'Brien, an American
citizen.
He was arrested in Liverpool on
suspicion of being a Fenian and bru-
tally treated. He was acquitted, and
laid the case before the American
Consul at Liverpool, claiming COM
pensation for false Imprisonment.
The case was referred to Minister
Adams, who returned the papers,
with the intimation that the home
government had better be consulted
before any demand was made.
New YORK, March 1.-The Times
Washington special thus gives the sit
uation of New Orleans previous to
General Sheridan's order prohibiting
the election:
There being indications of a riot,
Sheridan made all necessary prepara
tlons to get at and suppress any dis
turbance. He has four regiments, two
battalions of artillery, and battalion
Of cavalry, together with Generals
Mower, Kaube, and Baldy Smith, in
the city, to take part in any hostilities.
The trouble originated in the fact
that Gov. Wells recognized the Re-
construction Bill, considered the
State Government reduced to a
Provisional Government, and him
self to be Military Governor, only
The municipal authorities, however,
did not recognize this change, in
asmuch as the Reconstruction bill had
not yet been read In official form, and
Mayor Monroe and Chief-of-Police
Adams ordered the police to obey no
orders issued by them. An election
for City Councilmen was to take place
on Monday, and Governor Wells in
his Proclamation ordered that the
freedmen enfranchised under the Re-
construction bill, should vote, and
the class disfranchised should not
vote. Here was an opportunity for
q re-enactment of the former riots,
but Sheridan's order postponing the
election until the District Commander
is appointed under the Reconstruction

PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC pA,tpo,,


Inc railroad line between the Missouri River
ana the Pacific Ocean grows apace from both
ends, and gives promise of an earlier compile
ton than the most sanguine Of its projectors
had anticipated. The Eastern forks are ranidly
pushing their way to the outlying hills Of tbs
Rocky Mountain chain; and late adyices from,
the Paclhc Coast represent the man-ster
line as being at the summit of the Sierr
Nevada, with only thin wall of granite 20
be cleared away, when the locomotive can
pass regularly and rapidly from the water,
OF the Pacific to the Great Salt Lake Basin.
This IS an important achievement since
1t dispOses of the most considerable imped-
ment on the Western half of the Route To
hew and blast the rOad-bed over this $50 miles
of mountain section is represented to he Il
greater undertaking than to prepare for the
rails the $50 miles which lie east Of it. BY th
use OF the most approved engineering re
sources, a liberal command Of cheap and Ell
cient Chinese laboreTs, together with large
expenditure Of gunpowder and nitro glycerne
the work has been accomplished; and it no,
seems probable that the year 1870 may wit
ness the completion of the line from New
York to San Francisco
On another page is presented complete an
ineligible statement of the Central Pacif
Railroad route, being built with tie aid an,
supervision of the Government; its various
parts and branches, and the Companies con
structing them; the progress, prospects, an.
history of the work, together with much in
formation concerning the Far West, compile
and published in pamphlet form by the well
known bankers, Messrs. Fisk g. Hatch, who are
the financial agents of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. Congress, having generously
aided the project by a grant of bonds and the
public lands, has also waived its first lien upon
the road in favor of the First Mortgage bond
holders so as to make them joint investors
with the preferred claim upon the whole
property. 1t appears that the sales of these
First Mortgage Bonds have been so con-
siderable that with the other aid it receives from
California, the Company has been able to main
tain nearly 10000 laborers at the work; and,
nOw that their tedious and difficult portion i
overcome. they hope to be able to increas
them so as to double the working force. Tn
business of the road and the merits and as
surances of the securities are fully set forth i
their statement which, we doubt not, will
command general attention at this time. So
many important interests both of domestic
industry, foreign trade, and national unity, are
depending upon the Pacific Railroad, that what
ever tends to hasten its completion cOnfers
benefit on the community.

Many important reforms arc needed IN our
prison system before our prisons can become,
what they ought to be, reformatories There
are needed reforms in prison industries, IN Gas
iflcaton. in commutatiOn, in inducements 10
Good conduct, in the character OF punlshments,
which ought to consist in the prlyatl0n Oh
privilege. But these reforms. to any credItaDle
extent, are unattainable under the present
system of electing inspectors and appointing
subordinates. The first change needed is a con-
stitutional amendment. The friends OF prison
reform say to our delegates at Albany: Cen
"tlemen, the initatory step is with you. UMli
" that is taken in your Convention, our hahds
d" are tied, our efforts are paralyzed. We have no
heart to work; for the most wisely organized
"system is good for nothing if it be ineficiently
cor corruphy administered. Clear the path Tor
Gus, and then we shall have courage to attempt
" the rest" There is a popular error, radical ana
fatal. which needs correction. Office is not to be
regarded as a reward for partisan service, but as
n duty to be fulfilled. We regard it IN the
latter light, in private life. Why not also In
publicY A principle which, if acted upon in
mans own business would ruin him in few
years, cannot be applied with impunity to the
administration of national affairs.
We have confidence in Mr.. Could to whom,
as chairman, this subject is committed in our
Convention. 1t is one with which he is familiar.
We shall look for his report with interest, and
we trust his fcllOw-mcmbors will bestOw on the
subject, when it comes up, the careful thought
to which it is emincntly entitled.

do not ask the Academy to do less than it is
now doing, but more to give to their valuable
labors that increase of vitality which results from
n wider contrast with subjects of human inter

observations and deductions that suggest

GEN. GRANT AGAINi

Gen. Grant is suffering at the hands of his
friends, and from no friend 50 much as The
Ne,o- York Times That newspaper charges The
TRIBUNE with hypocrisy. Let US see who is
the real hypocrite.
The Times, in its Tuesdays ISSUE used these
words:
Through many channels 1t will be asserted that Gen.
Grants compliance with the call indicates his approval
Of Mr. stantons removal and consequently OF the policy
which exacts that proceeding On this head fortunately
there Is for Misrepresentation Cen Grant has
not allowed his habitual retcence leare the country in
dOuH TO his position the great occasion Of difference
between Congress and the Executive lie supports he
plan Of Congress- and is in favor OF its prompt and vigor
GUS enforcement. The Copperhead counselors Of Mr.
Johnson win derive no from Gen. Grant"
Here is a plain statement. The editor prac-
tically says: "Gen. Grant is a Radical. We
know it, He supports Congress. We know
" that. 1t is happy thing lie does not sup
sport President johnson. We feel very COM
Portable" No gentleman will make a state
ment without authority, and no newspaper, es-
pecially, will venture to place public man
upon political platform without reasons for
so doing 1t was very important for us to
know that Gen. Grant was q Radical. We
found all the evidence leading to an
opposite conclusion. Supposing that The
Times really spoke what it knew,
we asked for its authority. The reply is
coarse assault upon THE TRIBUNE, and virtual
admission that the statement above quoted is
false, and of course printed to deceive. On
Tuesday, it said that Grants acceptance of
the Office was merely temporary and formal"
something disagreeabe and peremptory-and
that the President virtually exchanged the
Radical Stanton for the Radical Grant. Now
we are told that Grant assumed the office to
prevent the Government from stOppingl On
Tuesday, Grant entered the Cabinet Radical
On Friday, we are assured lie repre-
resents the Conservative majority" of Con-
gress. In the mean time, our demand for in
formation is ignored, and The Times, in failing
to give us the evidence that Gen. Grant "has
"nOt allowed his habitual reticence to leave
" tie country in doubt" as to his Radicasm,
compels us to doubt and fear that its editor
is endeavoring to juggle us now, even as when
last year he sought to drag the Repub-
lican party into the Philadelphia COpperhead
Convention under pretense that the Conven-
ton was to feform ana strengthen the party
Those who charge us with assa::ilins Grant
entirely misapprehend our position. We are not
conscious of having ever, in the slightest de-
gree, done him injustice. The question is one
of fact. What is his position? He is named
as Radical candidate for the Presidency. Is

II is a miserable story of swindling and. .suf-
fering that the American cOlonists at Jaf1a tell
in their appeal to their countrymen, which we
print in another column. One year ago these
persons were prosperous farmers in Maine, and
it is q singular proof of credulity the prom
ises of the Rev. Mr.. Adams induced them TO Sc"
their property for half its value, and, under his
leadership, 60 on a wild-goose chase to ths
Holy Land Religions enthusiasm and tho
carnal desire to make money seem to have been
nearly equal in determining their choice. They
went to Jaffa because Adams assured them
that the power and glory of Palestine was re-
turning, as prophesied of old, and that they could
raise three rich crops in one year from the
same piece of land. Both assurances were
false, and the cOlonists are starving, Mr.. Adams
excepted, who appears to be comforta'
bly, established, and exercises a despotic
rule over his dupes. But We cannot
blame these people, many of whom arc
women and children, for their ignorance and
folly. The U. S. Consul at Jerusalem declares
that the colonists are "honest laboriOus arti-
" sans, worthy of the deepest sympathy, and
"who will be exposed to all the horrors OF
Il" misery" if help be not promptly sent
think their appeal should be answered by {
American people, and it is to be regretted th
il is easier TO give them the means of retur1
inc home than to administer to the cleric
impostor Adams the punishment he has rich
