RANKING AND FINANCIAL.

Seven hundred miles Of the Union Pacific Rail
road running west from Omaha across the c0ntl-
nent are now finished. and in active operation.
One hundred and sixty miles have been built IN the
last three months More than 1000 are employed
aud this average Of 40 miles per month viii DC con
timed throughout the season. making 900 completed
miles by January l, and 1t is probable that the en-
tire grand line to the Pacific will be open for business
IN 1909 No other rstclass railroad in the world has
been built and equipped so rapidly as the Union
Pacific.
The United States Government makes OF this rail
road great national work, and aids its construction
by very liberal grants of money and OF lands 10

act of Congress, these bonds are made FIRST MORT
GAGE upon the entire road the Government taking
second lien as security for the repayment OF Its loan
The principal and interest at per cent are PAYABLE
IN GOLD. The mortgage bonds of nearly all other
railroads in this country payable, principal and
interest in currency; and it is asserted, without fear
of contradiction that no other Railroad Company in
the world budng SO great an extent of road, issues
bonds of equal value with the first mortgage bonds
now offered for sale by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company
The price Of these bonds is now lO2, and accrued
interest from July /, in currency. The Company De-
lieve that at this price, their bonds are the safest
and most profitable investment in the market anu

RECOVERY OF A PALMETTO MEDAL

RECOVERY OF PALMETTO MEDAL
"A GENEROUS William II.
Pegg. Esq, of Brooklyn, N. Y, re-
Gently saw exposed for sale in that
city, one of the medals presented by
Charleston to the members of the
Charleston Company of Volunteers
in the Mexican war, and purchased
IL with view to its restoration to the
recipient or the survivors of his family.
The medal, which is of silver, bears on
one side the coat of arms of Charles
ton. with the inscription, "Pre-
sented by the City of Charleston to
the Charleston Company of Volnn-
teers in Mexico, accompanied by the
name, David W. Corkle; and on the
reverse, "Vera Cruz, Churubusco,
Chepultepec, Garita de Belen."
David w. Corkle, to whom the
medal was awarded, died mt Perote,
Mexico, and there is now standing in
the house of the Palmetto Engine
Company, Of which he was one of
the founders, we believe, tablet to
his memory.
Mr.. Pegg was offered fifty dollars
for the medal, by party who wished
to melt it down for its intrinsic value,
but most generously refused, and
now desires to present it to any of
the survivors of Mr. Corkle who may
be best entitled to receive it. Such
persons may receive further informa-
ton in reference to it, Mt the Office of
the Charleston Courier.

THE New DEMOCRATIC PnArroRM.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
George Wilkes, the editor of Wilkes
Spirit, has been in Washington for
some weeks past, and is deep in the
plots and counter-plots of the poll
ticians. The following extract from
the leading editorial in the last issue
of his paper is evidently from his
pen, and in view of the recent de-
velopments at Washington, possesses
peculiar significance:
1--WE know what we speak of, and
We say authoritatively that the Demo
cratic platform will be so amended
as to recognize the national progress
of the last seven years, and to suit
the progressive temper of the time.
On the 4th July next, that pro-
gramme will be enunciated in Tam
:saGy Hall, Ill the city OF New York.
Its main plank will be denuncia-
ton of the principle of human
slavery, and an acceptance of all the
Legislation of the period on that sub
iect; the reputation and extinction
of the Confederate debt; the equality
of all men before the law; an i'm
partial suffrage. 1t is shrewdly cal
culated that in view of such a pro-
gramme, the alienated Democratic
element. which now constitutes the
Republican majority, having become
disgusted with party which is inca
pable of government, or even of
defending its own life, and perceiv-
ing, moreover, in other and vigorous
hands, n platform covering their old
principles, will at once flock to the
new standard, and leave the Repub-
lican party to sink to ruin. This is
a plausible conception, and will be
sure to win if Andrew johnson is
acquitted; though it is not so certain
that the Democratic party, after hav-
ing profitted by the treachery of -
Fessenden " Co., will choose to win
with Republican traitors at it's head. ="
''Recognizing the natural progress
of the last seven years, means final
surrender of the Southern States to
the behests of radicalism. We shall
see.- Charleston Ne,cS.

SENATOR FEssENDEN ON THE YER
DIoT-NoBLE SENTIMENTS. Mr.. Fes-
senden concludes his speech against
conviction as follows:
To the suggestion that popular
opinion demands the conviction of
the President on these charges, I
reply that he is not now on trial be-
fore the people, but before the Sc
nate. In the words of Lord Eldon
upon the trial of the Queen, "I take
no notice of what is passing out of
doors, because I am supposed, con-
stitutionally, not to be acquainted
with it." And again, "it is the duty
of those on whom a judicial task is
imposed, to meet reproach, and not
court popularity" The people have
not heard the evidence as we have
heard it. The responsibility is not
on them, but upon us. They have
not taken an oath to "do impartial
justice according to the Constitution
and the laws" I have taken that
oath. cannot render Judgment
upon their convictions, nor can they
transfer to themselves my punish
ment, if I violate my own. And I
should consider myself undeserving
the confidence of that just and in
telligent people who imposed upon
me this great responsibility, and
unworthy place among honorable
men, if, for any fear of public repro
baton, and for the sake of securing
popular favor, 1 should disregard the
convictions of my judgment and my
conscience.
The consequences which may fol-
low either from conviction or ac-
quittal are not for me, with my con-
victions, to consider. The future is
in the hands of Him who made and
governs the universe, and the fear
that He will not govern it wisely and
well, would not excuse me for viola
of His law.
