THE winter weather has not stopped the
work upon the Union Pacific Railroad, whose
advance during the winter months Will be con-
slant, although OF course. less rapid than In
the better working days OF summer and fall.
So much will be done, however, that the spring
OF 1870 will see the closing OF the intervening
distance between the Union Pacific and the
Central or California division. Meanwhile the
company gives ample security to the Govern
ment that the road Will be thoroughly built and
equipped In accordance with law. The Presi-
dent has ordered the continued issue of Gov
eminent bonds upon the road as finished, the
recent special examining commission having
borne decided testimony to the good character
CT the work. The first mortgage bonds of the
Union Pacific Railroad are for sale by De
Haven q Brother, Philadelphia, at par and
accrued interest. New illustrated pamphlet
furnished by them free of charge.

as having been refilled at the dlstillery above.
on the barrels, no owner appeared TO claim the
property, and Arnold claimed to have no
knowledge as TO how 1t came there. The pro.
perty was sold, ana the Government realized
about $4,000 on IL, no owner appearing. The dis
tilleTy was seized September n. 1867, and pro-
ceedings were instituted for the forfeiture OF
the property. The same having been appraised
and bonded, was returned TO the owners,
and they Immediately commenced running ~
again, but frauds being again disc overed 1T
and proceedings of forfeiture were entered a
second time. AT the request of the defendants,
the first trial was had on the second seizure at

ment entered for the Government. AT the

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan, H.-There is as yet
nothing reliable as to the fate of the detective,
Barmore, who was taken OF by the Ku-Klux at
Columbia on Monday. There are plenty of
rumors that he was certainly shot, hung,
drowned, and disposed OF in various ways. The
fact that there is nothing reliable ascertained
as to his fate renders it pretty certain that the
Ku-Klux despatched him in some way. Bar

Nashville over year. He was not considered
radical, but had it is said, given otfense to the
Klan oy going on the trial of some of Its mem-
