The Pacific Railroad

The Union Pacific railroad IS completco
TO the summit of the Rocky Mountains.
Five hundred miles of the road have been
completed and equipped in two years !;
100 miles more of road-bed is ready to
receive the rails; and rails enough for 200
miles are already accumulated at the pre-
sent terminus. From Omaha to San Fran
cisco is 1,s45 miles. The Union Pacific
Company expect to have say 900 miles in
operation this year, while the Central Pa
cific Railroad will have about 400 miles
completed, leaving 500 miles of gap, which
will be completed during next year.
The prospect Of THIS grand achievement
should afford powerful stimulus for the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. That road
will certainly become one'of the mouths OF
the immense stream of commerce which
will be set in motion by this great high.
way between the Atlantic and the Pacific
Its grades will be the best Of all the routes
between the Mississippi and the Atlantic
! and the facility of shipment from the Vir,
einia ports will be such as to command 9
share of the foreign as well as coast.

I" terable resolve; for the country can i'll

of opinion on this point. General SHER-
MAN thought he might be spared; and a
large majority of the people are of the
same opinion. But there is an immense
army of disembodied Americans, whose
untimely separation of soul and body is
altogether due to Mr.. STANToN's refusal to
exchange prisoners, who care not whether
he remain in the War Office or not. They
will keep near him OF all times while he
walks in the flesh, and will never tire OF
their attentions. If it is to get rid OF these
agile and ever-present ghosts that have
been SO long habitues of the War Office
that he desires to retire, he needn't; for
that wont save him from them. To STAN

WILL Nor BE BOTTLED UP.-Naturally,
We suppose, the associates of BUTLER on
the Committee of Managers are afraid OF
being 6 bottled up ~; so they are about to
take measures to avoid that dreaded fate.
They etc have anight session Of Congress,
at which the Managers who are not allowed
to address the Senate are to thunder forth
what they would have said had the Senate
been fools enough to listento them. LOGAN,
the enrage mouton, will very probably en-
deavor to edge in his malignities. The
House, however, will find itself unable to
hear all the sap headed Radical partisans,
and will necessarily have to confne the
defamation to the Managers. LOGAN will

BEN WADE's PLUCK. = The Radicals
praise WADE for his pluck. They say ne
once called a southern senator liar, and
next morning went into the Senate and
laid two pistols down before him upon his
desk. It certainly is an astonishing story
that northern congressman should have
had the courage to do the like; but who
was the southern senator? Why not name
him? The story assumes that the affair
took place in public. We suppose it
is a falsehood from beginning to end, manu-
featured to make little popularity for
WADE among the northern masses, who,
denouncing the code Of honor, neverthe-
less make hero of. any man of their own
section who can screw up his courage to
the fighting point.

1,na are Yea Qnestiorl

Mr.. srwARD's report upon this subject
| has been publisaed. The question ordi-
narily would be one of no great interest
to any but the individuals who set up
claims to the island /; but it has been most
strangely connected with the impeachment
case by the singular conduct Of Judge
BLACK in making the declension of the
President to issue an order favorable to
bis clients 1.-THE claimants aforesaid o pre-
text for withdrawing from the Presidents
counsel. Another curious fact in regard
to this matter is, that q day or two before
Judge BLACK retired from his relation as
counsel for the President a paper signed
by Messrs. BUTLER, ScHENcK, LOGAN,
GARFIELD, STEVENS, and BINGHAM, set
ting forth the right Of Judge BLACKS
clients to the island of Alta Vela,
was. fled with the President. These
gentlemen are the bitterest advocates Of
impeachment in the Congress. How hap
pened it that these particular persons
should be associated in that paper? Was
ita preconcerted plan to play upon the
fears of the President on one hand, and
his hopes on the other? If he did not
favor the Alta Vela claimants on the one
hand, Mr.. BLACK, on whom he so much
relied, would back out End on the other,
if he did favor them, he might hope for
some clemency in his behalf from his per
secutors9 These inquiries are natural,
and no man can resist the conclusion that
there was plot to influence the Presi-
dent-a plot that has q very repulsive face
upon it. But the President, much to his
honor, was firm. Whatever be the merits
of the claim entrusted to Mr.. BLACK, that
was not the way to procure it's acEnow-
ledgment.
Mr.SEwARD's report is very long. The
main points in it are: That the question is
one purely legal, and the employment Of
the military force of the United States to
put the claimants in possession would be
out of the question; that the Department
could not have instituted any proceedings
for the relief of the claimants until after
they had filed the bond prescribed by law
that their eviction from the island took
place before they filed this bond; and
that it does not appear that the island was
not in the lawful jurisdiction Of some
foreign country at the time the claimants
took possession of it; but, on the contrary,
it appears, from geographical and historical
facts, that the island was within the juris-
diction of st. Domingo.
One cannot read Mr.. SEwARD's report
without coming to the conclusion that the
question is one of an entirely legal cha
racter. But whether we adopt that con-
clusion or not, all must unite in condemn
ing as altogether irregular and discredit-
able the attempt to force an immediate
decision of the case by working upon the
feelings of the President.

GENERAL SHERMAN AND THE MANAGERS.
A prominent feature Of the general mean.
ness and vulgarity with which the prosecu-
ton against Mr.. JOHNSON has been con-
Quoted was the studied and persistent
