One of the greatest blessings to flow from
the road, when it Us in good running order,
will be the facility Of travel between the two
sides o& this continent. Leaving out of sight
all possibilities OF danger from Indian raids
now happily becoming less likely to occur
there can be no dispute between the business
advantages Of going from New York to San
Francisco in six cc seveH days 5y faii, instead
Of twenty or twenty-five days per steamship.
It by no means follows, however, that the COM
pletion Of the road will stop passengers from
going back and forth by the ocean route.
For persons not in q hurry. or desirous Of en-
joying the largest variety of scenery, the IL lip
via Panama, one wav or both ways, will still
have it's charms. Possibly there will be a
competition between the steamship and railroad
lines, which will soon reduce considerably the
fare on both.
Dut though. as we incline to think, the i'm
mediate benefits to result to America and the
world from the completion Of the Pacific Rail
road are commonly stated with that occidental
luxurianee which is full as wild as oriental
hyperbole, we would not detract one lot of
praise from the true grestness Of the under
taking, and we believe that, in the future, il
will prove itself 30 convenient. SO useful, 80 in
dispensable to the nation, aud withal SO profit
able Iii judiciously managed, as to stop the
last cavil against what has seemed to many
the national extravaganza Of entering upon SO
costly work at time when we could so ill
afford 1t.

A Bloody Conspiracy against the Life OF
q Newly Married Husband-The Bride
Implicated. T&


The Macon Journal of Saturday, without re.
vealing names, gives an account Of a domestic
conspiracy Of heinous character, which has
just come to light in neighboring county OF
Georgia:
It seems that young lady from an adjoining
State was visiting the county town last year,
and while there was courted by. and engaged
herself to, q young lawyer OF the place. All
WAS smooth sailing until she returned home
Then she learned that her parents had other
plans for her future. She was told that her
hand was sought by very wealthy old man,
ana that she must prepare to receive him as
her future husband. To her remonstrances
and disclosure of her love for, and engagement
to TO- another; her parents TUNED deaf ear.
They had determined she should marry the
old man. and at last, by arguments, threats
and opportunities, brought her to the point of
writing to her lover and breaking off the en-
gagement; Immediately upon receiving. her
there. soon had an interview. Then was con-
cocted the horrible plot. it was settled be-
tween them that she should marry the old
man, and after getting him to settle his prop

fearing that he would invoke the laws aid and
have the matter thoroughly sifted, the wife
wrote at once to her lover all that had hap

parations to fly. In a day or two he disap
