Yesterday afternoonl Walteri Bro xn made
50 miles at the Veloeipedrome, in Jersey City.

fastest time, but fell when he had made half
a mile in one minute and fifty 1--we seconds.
1t must be taken into account that the num-

THE SPIKE DRIVING CEREMONY Posr.
PoSED.-A dispatch received by Mr.. Sew.
eirs. the operator at the Carson Office, yes
terdav, announced that the ceremony o,
driving the 9. last spike 4" had been post.
poned until to-morrow-Monday. No rea-
sons were given for this new arrangement
but it is to be inferred that the postpone
nent is made in Difference to the wishes OF
certain parties from the Eastern States who
desire to participate in the grand event. 1,
seem, according to the following which We
clip from the Sacramento Record. that be-
sides the silver mounted tie and gold
and silver spikes = historical shovel is
to be used on this momentous occasion
Says TIE Record Of Friday
We have lately been furnishing our read
ers with items concerning the last rail, the
last spike, the last tie, etc, etc, but we have
omitted to speak of very interesting imple-
nent in the history of the construction of
the Central Pacific Railroad-viz.: the first
shovel. The identical shovel nsed by Ex-
Governor Stanford in breaking the ground
on Front street in 1868 will occupy a con-
spicuous place in the procession Tomorrow,
as it should. F. Lnndquist was engaged
yesterday in attaching a silver plate to the
shovel, which bears the following inscription:
This shovel was used to cast the first
earth in the construction of rhe Central Pa
cifc Railroad, at the Inauguration ceremo-
mics, January Sth, 1863" 1t should be
awarded the post Of honor in the procession.

THEATER.-" The Grand Duchesse" was
played last night with most excellent effect
The Misses Howson's singing was especially
good, that of Miss Emma Howson in par
ticular. 1t is difficult, indeed, to make dis
,nctions regarding the merit of the various
members of this highly accomplished family
Of artists. Why all, father and sons and
daughters, are fully entitled to the enviable
reputation which they enjoy. They go hence
to Virginia =; and we take great pleasure in
recommending them to the press and play
goers of that city, as holding among them
selves, ready resources for the most pleas
ing entertainments that we have witnessed
this side Of the mountains. Their perform
ances are distinguished alike for their
vivacity and refinement of artistic taste.
We wish they could remain longer with US,
and hope they will soon return.

LEGISLATIVE CnRRuPTrON.

Ot all the evils Of bad government which
the past decade has inflicted on the country,
no form of it isso perncious in its effects
on public and private morals as legislative
corruption. Jeopardized Institutions may
be rescued and preserved by o change of
parties; oppressive and unjust statutes may
be repealed by the same means, but far
more searching and powerful remedy is re-
quired for the crying evils of legislative cor.
ruption it is confined to no place, party or
state, but permeatcs our whole legislative
system. Every legislative assembly in the
United States, whether it be congress or the
legislature Of any particular state, is cursed
by large element of corruptibe material
IN It's membership; and the various rings"
aud schemers that make up the Hobbies of
legislative assemblies everywhere are not
slow to find out this element and subsidize
it,
We ind an excellent article in q late

AUTHENTIC RIVER NEws.-Capt. Thos
j. Buford has again returned from st. Louis,
whittier he has been on trip connected
with Northern Liuo steamboat affairs. The
captains health, which has been bad for
some time past is now improving.
He left st. Louis on Sunday evening last
up to which time the rival steamboat lines
had come to no where near compromise.
and the prospects we're worse than ever. At
O subsequent meeting at Chicago, he in.
formed ns that their representatives. had fin
ally consented 10 fix on general tariff to
be maintained throughout the season. 1t
was proposed by the Northwestern Union
Line, and accepted by the Northern. This
IS probably the sum and substance Of all
the accommodations which will be agreed
upon by the two lines during the season.
No steamboats, are now running between
st. Louis and kcokuk, on account of the ice.
The New Boston made only two trips in
'his trade, and IS now laid up, undergoing
painting aud other Improvements. Captain
Melville IS still at 81. Louis, with other
s'eamooatmen frcm this quarter. The cap,
tHns aud engineers are generally busy in
getting their boats in sbjpshape for spring
operations.
Welearued nothing in regard to the steam
er savanna, which WAS to have left PITS
burg for these waters on the lst Of the
month. As ten days would scarcely bring
her here, the ice may all run out before
she gots around. The new and splendid
steamer Minneapolis, which will create a
sensation without doubt, has orders to leave
Pittsburgh on the first of April, but shoult
the weather become warm, to start ten day
earlier than that date. She is the counter
part Of the Dubuque, and thoroughly au,
f elegantly equipped throughout.
The steamer keithsburg lies near Mont
rose, aud is undergoing repairs. Last fall
she broke one Of her cylinders. a new one
has been manufactured, aud now lies at st.
LOUIS. It was to have been sent up before
this time on the New Boston
In regard to treights, Captain Bufort
stated that business would open with down
stream freights at about twenty cents, and
ap stream at twenty FIVE. The boats sre all
ready, with one exception, and just as quick
as the ice admits, We may look out for the
shrill echoes of their whistles.
