PROGRESS OF THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD FROM OMAHA.

The United States Commissioners have
oAicially advised the Secretary of the in
terror that they have examined the eighth
section Of this road, beginning at the 3O5
and ending at the 345 mile post, and
have found it ready for service, and fully
equipped with the necessary locomotives,
cars, etc. This great road is being push,
ed forward With an amount of energy that
must insure It's earl completion. Gen
eral Sherman says that it is so useful and
necessary to the government that it could
we'll afford to build it on its own account,
and save money from the diminished cost
OF transporting public stores. In fact,
the government practically guarantees
the construction of tie road by making
the bonds it issues for that purpose a
second mortgage and permitting the Com
pany to make its own bonds first mort
gage Although 345 miles of the Union
Pacific are now ready for the cars, but 29O
miles were in use during May, and the
earrings Of this portion of the line durt
ing that month are officially reported
S2el, 1872. Deducting operating expenses,
this leaves sum of more than four times
the interest on the Company's bonds thai
can be issued on that length of road
There seems to be no doubt now OF the
early completion of the great line to the
Pacific. Ten thousand men are cutting
their way eastward from the California
end, and over and through the Sierra
Nevadas; and one section of the eastern
end is hardly completed before the gov
eminent commissioners are called upon to
examine and accept another; and what is
more (and better for the stockholders aud
bondholders), the net earnings of both
ends are sufficient to pay the interest on
their bonds several times over.

THE SURVEY OF ROCK RIVER.

The report or Brevet Major General
j. Ell. Wilson, United States Army, on
be survey of Rock River, with ref
erence to- its connection with Lake
Winnebago, In view of a project to con-
struct canal and river improvement be-
tween Green Bay and the Mississippi
River, has just been published for the in
formation of Congress. @1
The survey was commenced on the LIST
Of September, by Colonel Jamesa Worrall
Civil Engineer, and was completed On the
1st of December, 1866 A line has been
surveyed which is ample for all CONNER
cial purposes, but owing to the limited
capacity of the summit reservoir, Lake
Horizon, it cannot be made to accommo-
date the largest class of boats navigating
the waters which it is intended to join,
and with the addition Of all the waters of
the neighboring streams which lead into
the reservoir, it could not be brought up
to the minimum required for locks, sew
enty-fve by three hundred and fifty feet.
The largest lock that can be consist
emily supplied with water from the reser-
voir is two hundred feet long between
mitresills, and thirty feet wide-suficent-
~ long to pass nearly all the river steam
ers, propelled by stern wheels, that are in
use on the afiuents of the Mississippi
River; and General Wilson urges the
adoption of the largest canal that can be
supplied with water. The line of navi-
CATION is divided into four parts From
Green Bay to Lake Winnebago, already
provided with canal facilities; from Lake
Winnebago to Lake Horizon, sixteen
miles; from Lake Horizon to WATERFOWL,
and from the latter place to the mo nth
Of Rock river, 247 miles The second,
third and fourth sections will be 285
miles in length, Of which 1174 miles will
be canal fed from Lake Horizon and the
river, and the remainder slack water nav
igation. There will be ffty-six lit and
nine guard locks
General Wilson makes the following
estimate of the cost of the projected ca
nal: Northern Division, from Fond du
Lac to GAINESVILLE, l03 miles, average cost
per miles, S56,571; total cost, 5,S26,9l5
Middle Division, from GAINESVILLE to Dix

RECONSTRUCTION.

The action of Gen. Sheridan in re-
loving from office Gov. Wells, of Louis
ana and appointing in his place such an
lncompTomised Union 4mau @Sas Gov.
FLANDERS, shows that thorough work is
being made in that department, and no
man, however popular, can be allowed to
stand in the way of the effeetual recon.
struction of the late insurgent states.
At Mobile when some of the high mind
ed chivalry refused to serve in the new
city government with" Aboltionists, "Gen.
Pope ordered the appointment of negroes
to fill their places. Such course will
soon take the starch, out of the aristo
Gratis, and bring them to their senses
much sooner tian any milk and water
treatment which our democratic politi-
clans would prescribe. The most sensi-
Bile of the southern people are already &C
cepting the situation in good faith, and
will much more cheerfully give their allie
giance to government which has
strength and authority enough to COM
lnand their respect, than to weak and
vaeillating government which succum BIS
to their every whim and caprice.
Gen. Iongstreet has written letter
giving in his adhesion to the Military
Reconstruction measure. The rebels at
New Orleans are astonished at his course,
but it only proves that he has more sense
than they, and is as much their superior
in craftsmanship to-day as he was in gen
eralship during the war Gen. Long
street holds that the highest appeal which
people can make is an appeal to arms,
and question decided by this tribunal is
no longer open for discussion The
sword decided in favor of the North. and
the law of the land was henceforth the
principles maintained by the North.

A NonstrOuS Proposition.

Mr.. Spalding. Of Ohio. has submitted to
Congress n proposition, In the nature Of an
TO Thad. stevens state destruc-
ton bill. that the writ Of hdbeds corpus shall
be suspended iu the Southern STATES until
those states ratify the Rump Congress
TO the Constitution.
This, In any other period Of our history,
would have seemed a strange aud alarming
10 come from q man who Is
lawyer, and who has occupied position on
the bench. II isno more nor less than
proposition TO suspend the Constitution and
establish a military dictator over one-third
OF the American republic.
The Constitution emphatically declares
that the privilege of the writ OF hdbeds
corpus shall not be suspended. unless when,
In cases of rebellion or invasion. the pub
hc safety may require it, The suspension
of the writ (or rather of "the privilege Of
the writ" for the Supreme Court has de-
cided that the writ Issues as n matter of
course. even when the privilege of the writ
is legally suspcnded) is thus made to de-
pend upon two conditions. First there
must be rebellion or invasion; second, the
public safety must require it. SO jealous
were the people of this great bulwark of
liberty that they prohibited its suspension;
even in time Of actual rebellion or invasion,
unless the public safety should require IT,.
Neither Congress nor any other depart
ment of the Government Is permitted to
Judge whether the public safety may re-
uuire the suspension of the writ except In
cases of rebellion or invasion.
Is any part of the country now in a state
of rebellion? Where are the armed forces
resisting the national laws and the Federal
Constitution, and which are necessary to
constitute rebellion? Is the nation in
vadcd? Who and where are the invaders ?
One or the other of these conditions must
be found to exist before Congress, under
the Constitution. can decide that the pub
| lie safety requires the suspension of the
privilege of bdbedS corpus.
Judge Spaldingdoes not even assume that
these necessary conditions exist. He does
not even pretend that the public safety re-
quires the suspension of the writ. He pro-
poses to suspend it for what? In order to
coerce ten states of the republic into giving
their assent to a change in the fundamental
law.
The proposition would not be more arbi-
| Itrarv, tyranuical or Infamous il the amend
ment which it is thus proposed to compel
| the Southern States to adopt were an
amendment to abolish the privilege of the
writ of hdbeds corpus altogether.
No proposition has been made in Con-
gress which more strongly indicates the
| disposition of the Radical rump TO inaugu-
| rate military despOtism in America.
Even the bill of Mr.. Stevens is not more
revolutionary in character and design.
| Had such proposition been made in
Congress prior to the recent civil war, its
author would have received, as he would
| have deserved, tine eNecration of the whole
people. That he does not receive such exc
icration now is a fact which forcibly Illus
trates how familiarity with despotism will
blunt the love of liberty even among the
freest people in the world.

Wiu the People be Warned?

Mr.. WENDELL PHILLIPS last manifesto
demands the destruction of the United
States Supreme Court. He suggests no
mere reconstruction, and proposes no sub
stitute for it, that we can discover. Pre-
tending that 1.-THE instincts of the masses
and the consciences of just men,n &C.. were
outraged, he says that the Constitution,
with its tlme-honOred compromises, held
up by the strongest of parties, was dust in
the balance against such current. This
court will prove the same.' Here we have
clear confession that this party has over
thrown the Constitution when it came in
their way, and because the Court will not
help to do this work, it also is TO be sacri-
feed. Surely there is no want of candor
here, and the issue for the people of the
North is very plainly made up. They are
forewarned, and if the edifiee of their lib
critics is destroyed it will be their own
fault.
EB- The New Orleans Cresceat's Wash
ington correspondent says that the Presi-
dent, if fimpeached will "stand firmly re-
solved to refuse obedience to the summon 8
for trial before au Incomplete jury, and de-
termined in case of ultimate proceedings
against him for contempt to hasten that
rehabilitation ofthe Union under the Con-
stitution, which has been the object of his
policy"

The Proposed Long Parliament.

Bhe manifest purpose of the Radicals, in
making the provision to keep Congress in
session all summer is to tie the hands Of
the President during the interval that
would occur between the expiration of the
present Congress and the regular conven-
ing of the next one. 1t is to prevent the
appointment of Administration men to i'm
portant offices, and to exercise such other
restraints upon the President as are within
the power of Congress, when in session.
About the only material effect of this pro-
ceeding will be to impose heavy bill OF
expenses upon the Government. All of
the members of the new Congress, except
ling those who were reelected. will be en-
titled to extra mileage, which, aside from
the regular expenses of the session, will be
a considerable item. The movement is par
ticularly noticeable, however, as an illus
tration of the extent to which partisan
spirit is carried by Congress. For the sake
of annoying the President, the Radicals in
that body do not hesitate to impose a need
less expense upon the people and to violate
the spirit of the Constitution.
