Central Pacific Railroad
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.

The Central Pacific Railroad Company offer for
sale their FIRST MORTGAGE THIRTY YEAR SIX
PER CENT, GOLD BONDS, and submit to investors
the following, among other obvious considerations
and invite the comparison with the merits and excel
lences Of any class Of corporate securities;
/. These bonds are based upon the most vital and
valuable part Of the Grand National Pacific Rail-
road, soon to become the main channel Of cOmmuni-
cation on the continent.
H. The local settlement, and the business there
from, is remarkably large and profitable, and must
constantly increase.
III. The hardest part Of the road is now built and
the remainder will be rapidly carried forward over
the Salt Lake Plains.
" The greater part of the means necessary to
build the road Is provided by the United States gov
eminent upon n subordinate lien.
V. The State and chief cities of California have con-
tributed upward Of 100000 to the enterprise with
out lien.
VI The grant of land is destined. at an early dav
to prove Of far greater market value than the total of
the First Mortgage Bonds issued upon the road and
equipments.
VII. This road lies altogether among the gold and
silver producing regions; and its revenues are re
ceived in coin.
VIII. The management of the Company has been
distinguished for prudence and economy; and the
surplus earnings after payment Of expenses and in
terest, are devoted to construction purposes.
IN The interest liabilities Of the Compauv upon
the portion now in operation less than a third
the net earnings.
Y. Both principal and interest are PAYABLE in GOLD
under special provisions Of both National and State
enactment.
The bonds are in sums Of 81 900 each with sor,i-
annual gold coupons attached, PAYABLE in January
and July and are offered for sale at % per cent cr
their par value and accrued interest from Jan /
added, in currency. At this time they yield nearly
Nine per cent upon the Investment.
These bonds bid fair to attain the most prominent
position among the non-speculative investments Of

or at most because of some sinister
influence upon his negotiations. In his
epeech to the Lord Mayor, Mr.. John

criticised both here and at home for the mau-
Der in which have met and returned the civli-
ties with which l have been bouored ~, but
when the critics find that the civilies exhibited

myself, they will be satisfied that the one was as
sincerely offered as l kno that the other was

by MIR. johnson to the Times as an "authentic

and how the few words that we're dropped at

An Irate Judge Delivers a Spicy Charge
tOa Grand Jury.
CouIse story

Al the opening of the Court OF Oyer aud
TeTmlner in New York, yesterday, Judge Bar
nard addressed the Grand Judge as folio ws:-
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury:-I deem 1t not
Inappropriate at the present time to call your
attention TO three or tour subjects that IN my
judgment, the Grand Jury should look into.
First in regard to alleged frauds at electious;
second, in regard t. the alleged corruptions OF
the Judiciary here; third as to the action OF
certain newspapers in New York in perpetra-
ting daily aud hourly ibels. / had intended,
gentlemen, at the commencement of this term,
to have gone over many OF these subjects more
fully than l can now; but am led to-day not
to delay it any longer in consequence of the
annoyance am subjected to by ne Wspapers and
letter-wrlters, not borne out of all sorts OF viii
hcatiOns aud abuses for otenses OF which l
certainly know nothing, and see il the writer's
OF some OF these articles cannot be made to come
before you aud substanuate some among the
many OF the different allegations that they have
made against tue juoge that now addresses you,
In to-day's tribune ana to-day's Times, along
with articles in the Jersey papers and elsewhere,
are charges of the most atrocious character
made against corruptions in interier ng with the
duties of electors, and charging the Judge with
being in combination in Wall street. Now, it
is unnecessary for me 10 say to you that he
never bought or sold or owned q share OF stock
in his life, and as or the large fortune OF ,000,
600, which one of the papers charges him with
being possessed OF, he has not now, nor did he
ever have, belonging TO him, separate from his
wife, a single dollars worth of property, and is
to-day dependent upon MS salary as JUICE
and the charity of his wife, aud why these
particular and atrocious charges at this particu-
lar time should be made with such boldness and
audlcity, is matter l hope you, as Grand
Jurors, whose duty it is will look into, so that
if you find them to be subs antlal, or even a
suspicion that they are true, that you will give
the Judge chance to resign. For infamy
means one thing, aud it ought to be ierreted out;
and II a man AS a newspaper editor will cit
down deliberately and make charge without
any proof, let US see whether the rigor
and terror of the Law will not stop
this thing in future. For eleven years
this Judge has submitted to it with out any
notice, and now, having arrived at a period
of lle when his usefulness is impaired by such
charges, he deems it his duty, and yours, gen.
tlemen, to look INTO the matter whenever you
have leisure, ana say whether combination CT
thieves, scoundrels, aud rascas, VINO nave To-
tested Wall street and Broad street for years
and now quanelling among themselves shall
be permitted to turn around and eudeavor to
hide their own tracks by abuse and vlliicaton
of the Ju0Qp.

The Alabama Claims NegOtIRtiOns-Sec-
retary Seward Makes " Denial.
Special Despatch 10 The EUenins Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-With reference to the
telegram sent from this city yesterday to the
New York POSt and other afternoon papers
setting forth that des spatches had been received
by the State Department giving full account of
the complete settlement of the Alabama claims,
Secretary Seward authofizes the following con-
tradiction:-"The despatch in question IS en-
tirely incorrect" Mr.. johnson, our Minister to
the Court of s.. James, only reports progress In
his late dispatches to the State Department
The question Of the peaceful adjustment Of
the Alabama claims is approaching settlement
and all things look favorable, but there has been
no definite conclusion reached upon any i'm.
portant point, and up to this time Mr.. Johnson
and Lord Stanley have not even settled so far
as an agreement upon the protocol. There has
been good deal of correspondence between
our Minister and the British Foreign Secretary,
and very friendly feeling pervades all this
correspondence, but the only important fact yet
developed is that the prospect for an amicable
settlement is favorable.
1t will not be wise for the papers in this coun.
try to rely upon and publsh all rumors which
leak out from the British Foreign Office, and
are sent abroad through the columns of London
journals as truth. MIR. johnson has not been
authorized from the State Department to vary
in any particular from the instructions given to
him on the eve Of his departure to assume the
duties of his official position at the Court OF her
