-aH PACIFIC RAILRoADs.-A cores
pondent Of the San Francisco Chronicle
voting from Great Salt Lake City states
As follows regarding the possible future
extensions of the Central and Union
p.cifc companies lines:
fSumors are current now, and very gcner-
aiiy believed, that we aye to have two Pa
cifc Railroads instead of one, each company
having determined to complete its road
across the continent. Civil engineers in
the employ Of the Eastern road have made
Surveys lately south of the lake, and also
north through Idaho and Eastern Oregon to
Puget Sound. The California Company are
looking out route south through Salt
Lake valley. and seeking pass to cross the
Jintah range of mountains and to connect
v;,h the Smoky Hi route, or what is
termed the Southern Pacific road. Leland
Stanford, the Presiden. of the Central Pa
cltc road openly states that this will have
. be dOne-that the Eastern road, Oh it,
present route cannot he kept permanently
"1en, as they would have to erect snowsheds
for several hundred miles, which is too great
distance to protect in that way. Nj. Du-
rant, the head of the ether company, in
digaantly denies this, and says that the
detention Wlicl. the cars have recently met
with is but temporary, and in few days
will be so obvisted to prevent the occur
ence of like Interruptions hereafter. The
difficulties of the Central Pacific company
began at the beginning, bat the further they

Union Pacific llpany at the beginning had
nothing bat easy work; their difficulties

4 C0uuoy SARRa7H.-A writer i

| 4 COMMON SARBATH.-A writer in the
! IsraelitP, published at Cincinatti, makes an
appeal t. lls ilepraic brethren to unite with
the Christians in the b>eIvance OF the same
| day as the Sabbath. He writes that there
is 10 specia! demand that the jews shall
keep their Sahbath on 4 Saturday, AID there
fore that there is NJ reason why the whole
b ,dr of Christians and jews may not keep
the Sabbath On the same day-,he Sunday.
! The present rule, he argues, IS especially
hard upon the Jews. They have TO close
up their business and suspend their labor
On Saturday, when all the rest Cf the world
are fully employed !; ard they have to close
their business virtually on the succeeding
day, when the other portion of mankind
have their Sabbath. II one day was agreed
upon, the whole civilized world would keep
their Sabbath on the same day. The writer
does Eot say in what mode this Saba n
should be obser,ed-.iSidly, or as day Of
rest from labor and recfes' ion for body and
n.ind. This movement for a transfer Of the
Jewish Sabbath to Sunday marks the p-o-
Sress Of the world in matters OF religion.

TRIM YovH WICKs-The coal oil fend
is killing its victims by the dozen, weekly.
Any thing which will avert the danger should
be known, he burlington Argus has the
following: The explosion is caused by a
practice of noglectiEg to cut off the charred
portion Of the wick when the lamp is filed /;
observation will show that in a few days
use the wick becomes like charcoal in com
position. for an inch below the top of the
tube containing it, and after the lamp has
burned short time the heated tube fires all
of the charred portion Of the wick inside,
and that sets the oil on .ire below, this may
be prevented by cutting off sufficient per-
ton of the ehsrred WICK each day after
using the lamp.

Our Debt Oue-FOurth Paid

1t has been usual to state the re-
duction of our public debt at $780,
100000, that being the amount by
which the ascertained debt iiquidated
at the Treasury by the issue of bonds
or other securities has been reduced.
We have been careful to couple this
statement with the fact that, beside
this reduction of the asce rtained debt,
we have paid $500, 900 000in back pay,
bounties, overdue contracts, trans
portation, and the other expenses of
closing up the war. These were really
incurred and due in August, 1865,
and should be added to the amount OF.
the ascertained debt of that date, in
order to arrive at the maximum
amount of the debt aud the total sum
by which it has been reduced. Mr..
Edward Atkinson, in a speech de-
llvered yesterday, at Worcester, be-
fore the Republican Convention of
Massachusetts, presents the actual
facts IN their true light, showing that
the actual indebted ess, liquidated and
unliquldated, was on August i, 1865,
So. 287, 733, 1923 ;that it was ON June 30,
1868, &, 485, 900, 000--being an actual
reduction of SS02, 733, 329 in the prin.
cipal of the debt By the same rapid
ity of payment we could pay off the
entire debt within ten years. The
figures are as follows. The total
amount of revenue received by the
Government for the three years from
April 1, 1865, to June 80. 1868. has
been $3.50, O58, 5s3. Out of this there
were paid for back pay of the army
aud navy and war contracts, within

rebellion, STA, $50. S51. And there
were paid for bounties, pensions,
prize money, reimbursiDg States for
war expenditures, claims Of loyal
men, Freedmen's Bureau, expenses
of Reconstruction, and National
Cemeteries, $145, 912,4 01. These two
sums amount to a total sum to be
added to the National Debt, as it
stood on the books of the Treasury
April /, 1865, of 1920, IT'S. 252. The
ascertaned debt was 81, 1866, $780, OF,
making the aggregate of 3,2S7, 49,

In another place we copy an arti Gle
from the Frankfort Commonwealth,
to which we desire to call especial
attention. 1t is a comparison between
the condition of affairs in our own
State and Kentucky, and is in answer
to an article in the Louisville Demo
Graf, which attempted to prove that
Kentucky was much the most pros
porous State of the two. We think
the Commonwealth disposes of that
pretension in a very few words.

The Missouri Democrat concludes
an article on the political situation in
that State as follows:
The State, Judging from present
advices, is as safe as Massachusetts,,
and if the Radicals in strong counties
do their best, we ought to have thirty
thousand majority. Five Congress
ional districts are beyond doubt,
while four are so close that few
votes may determine the result. We
may carry every one of them, if from
now until November our friends do
their utmost. And with that sort of
work we can roll up such a majority
against Blair and Conference.-The
as will eonsign that pestilent dema-
gogue to oblivion.

of their rights in the Union, accord
ing to Democratic Interpretation, was
to secede. But the Unconstitutional

Congress and GRANT do such things?
The Democracy will never forgive

Catholics and the Color Prejudice.

OdtnOlics ana the color Prejudice
We have before had occasion to re-
fer to the fact of the general liberality
of the Roman Catholic Church toward
the negro. theoretically it makes no
distinction of color. The PresJvterian
Witness noticing the labors- of the
Catholics among the freedmen in Bal
timore, states that in their schools
and churches white and black sit to-

openly declare the doctrine that God
makes no distinction, and the church
can not =" On this the Catholic Tele-
