The RAILRoAD.-ThrOugh tickets from
San Francisco to New York, in eleven days,
can now be purchased for S2S4. The time
indicates the near completion of the railroad.
With the opening of the spring, it is expecr
ted that the road will be completed, when the
trip most likely will be made inside of eight
days. Those of US who were on this coast in
early days when it required months to com.
municate with friends in the Atlantic States,
will appreciate the benefits resulting from
railroad communication.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD IN l83S.-kew.
is Gaylord Clark thus spoke of the Pacific
Railroad in the Knickerbocker Magazine 10
1888. He claims to have originated the
idea of the road. As the great work is now
rapidly approaching completion, what the
poet said thirty years ago, is of interest:
There will yet be built railroad from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Let the prediction
be marked, for the work will be accoh plish-
ed. This great chain Of communication will
yet be made With links Of iron, 'loog drawn
out The treasures OF the earth in that wide
region are not destined to be lost. The
mountains OF coal, the vast meadow seas

trees go feet high, the stores of msonesia

were not formed to be nempoyedand wasted
The reader Is now living who will make a
railroad trip across this vast continent. The

FoLLY.-Some PERSONS most likely for
the sake of notoriety, have been suggesting
that the democratic electors cast their votes
for Grant, and thus make bis election uuan>
imOus. No such proposition should be ems
tertained for moment These electors were
chosen with the understanding that they
would vote for Seymour and Blair, and their
failure to carry out this understanding would
be the worst kind of treachery. The demo:
cratic party is'defeated, but it is not disor-
ganized, as the failure to cast its vote for the
nominees of the party would seem to indi>
cate. Away with all such folly. With head
erect, and the old flag flying, let the democ,
racy remain in the field, ready to do battle
for the right.

LACK OF MAIL FAoILITIEs.-The miners
living at Warren's Camp. Northern Idaho,
justly complain of their lack of mail facili-
ties. There is mail to Florence, forty-f
miles this side of Warrens, which really ac-
commodities nobody, inasmuch as Florence
is little better than deserted camp. To get
their mails through from the point where
Uncle Sam dumps them down costs the
miners at Warrens fifty cents on each letter
and newspaper. The mail, as now carried
works into the hands of expressmen, but is
no convenience whatever to the miners An
effort was made some time since to have the
mail carried TO Warrens, but the compensa,
tiOn offered by the Department-s6O0 pei
annum-was insufficient to induce any Que
to take the contract We now suggest that
Postal Agent Brooks again call the attention

Warrens is rapidly becoming one of tbs

the wealth of the country should be fur,
