THE SKIES BR1eHT. The Tribune saws that
our friends on assembling in Washington. found
by comparison of notes, that the skies are
everywhere bright Senator Cameron pledges
lPen1s5lvania for ten thousand in oc..
tober. Gov. Morton and Speaker Colfax are
content with no such small figures for Indiana;
and Ohioans talk of nothing less than ma
Jorlty OF twenty-five thousand, which, considz
erlng their last, ought to be satisfactory, but,
considering what they hare done,r cannot be
called remarkable. We beg them ! to femem-
Der that only hard work bas given such pro-
mise to the canvass, and only a continuation
OF this hard work can make it good at the polls.
We have plenty of voters, to give an over:
whelmng majority in the Electoral College to
Grant and Colfax. Let it be your care that no
eNertion is spared to have them record their
votes And, above all, let every one remem-
Der that the best way to organize victory in
November throughout the Union is to secure
triumphant Republican victories : in Octo-
Der in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana

U. n: r. R.-Thc Union Pacific Rail-
road Is now completed to point eight
hundred and twenty miles west of Oma-
ba, and is under strong Roadway for
Salt Lake, the entrance to which inter-
'estlng region is. likely to be attended
with some contention and perhaps disap-
polntment. A letter under the date CT
Aug. 18th, says the public is much ex-
erclsed over the route westward of We
Der Canyon, whether north or south of
the lake. There can f'be no doubt that
there is strong desire there 10 have
the road come by that city, and south
OF the Lake, but the prevalent opinion
is that 1t will go over the northern arm OF
the Lake, and along the promontory,
thence westward to Humboldt Wells.
Brigham Y Dung, in the tabernacle lately,
said that the road ought to come by that
city, and if it did not it would be an in
suit to the citizens of the Territory. 1t
is not likely that the road will be de-
fiected one way or the other to please
Mormons; but will go straight ahead to
meet the track that, at an astonishing
rate, is creeping up from the Pacific
coast.

The letters convey the assurance that in time
