deur and magnitude of undertaking 1t has
never been equalled." The report concludes
by saying that 1.-The country has reason TO con.
gratulate itself that this great work Of national I'M
portance is so rapidly approaching completion under
such favorable auspices" The Company now have in
use 1877 locomotives and nearly 1000 cars Of all delcrlp

By Its charter, the Company is permitted to Issue
its own FIRST NOR fGAGE BONDS to the same
amount as the Government Bonds and no more.
These Bonds First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments. Such mortgage upon

Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific States, takes the
highest rank as safe security. The earnings from
the way local business tor the year ending So
1865, on TN average Of 472 miles, were over FOUR

interest liability upon that distance, and the earn

They would have been greater If the road had not
been taxed TO its utmost capacity TO transport Its
material for construction. The income from the
great passenger travel, the China freghts and the
supplies for the Rocky Mountain States and Ter

Social yiciousncss.

We have already noticed the fact that
the growing laxity of the marriage tie,
and the ease with which divorces are
now oblaineed in the Northern and West
orn States OF the Union, has called out
such men as President Woolsey. of Yale
College, TO portray the dangers which
threaten this social relation. On the
other side. according TO the New York
| Times, there is now regular school of
writer's and religionists who boldly an.
nounce their opposition to the marriage
| institution. The novel of Nicolas, ad
yocating free-love, has at last culmina-
ted in an established literature devoted
to that end. A large weekly journal is
published in Chicago, avowedly devoted
to the abolition Of marriage and the sub
stitution Of the largest license. The con-
tributors to this journal are said to be
generally women, some of whom sign
only their initials to their contributions,
while others boldly annex their names,
maiden or marital, to the ideas they ad-
vance or advocate. A series of novels
has been written by such women as Mrs.
]. s. Adams and Mrs Caroline +. Corbin,
covering with the thin disguise of story
pronounced advocacy of the abomin-
ably free doctrine. One of the writers
in the anti-marriage organ to which wo
refer. SAYS in q recent issue; There is
scarcely anything left now but the name
of marriage, go loose is the system of
divorce becoming, when parties are left
as free TO unmarry as to marry, and that
point is almost reached. The old idea
of marriage ia dead past hope OF resur-
rection;" and this writer reJoices that 1t
is 80, because marriage is contrary to
the whole spirit of the age" Then, God
help the age.
1t is difficult to conceive that there nre
people in this country who desire to es-
tablish the relations of the sexes in the
United States on the basis which exists
between the beasts of the field. Even
1.-THE old idea of marriage" as it existed
in Rome before the prevalence of Chris
tianity, would seem to be too decent for
the pioneers of our so-called social pro-
gress. At period when the husband
had the power of divorce five hundred
years elapsed without its exercise. When
new jurisprudence was introduced, that
marriage might be dissolved by the abb
dication of either of the associates, three
centuries Of prosperity and corruption
enlarged the principle to a practical IL
centiousnesa equal to that which now
seems to be sought in this country. The
ten husbands in month Of the poet Mar.
tial may have been too extravagant an
exaggeration OF the general license. Je-
rome speaks of seeing at Rome trium-
plant husband bury his twenty-hrst wife,
who had inferred twenty-five of his less
sturdy predecessors. Can the vices of
declining state be already taking root in /!

strangling and sewing the criminal ny
in bag and throwing him into the sen
are said to be common modes OF punish
ment. The more enlightened nations,
such as the United States. England and
Prussia, have adopted more simple and
speedier means of DISCRIMINATING the life
of the condemned that he may not be
made to suffer before dying.
Some distinguished lawgivers hold to
the doctrine that the certainty OF pun
ishment is more important to deter from
crime than the severity of it," which
we regard the sound theory. There at
least should be great caution on the part
of the State to take life, while the proof
should be OF the most positive character
that the accused is guilty of the crime
for which he stands charged. Better
that ninety and nine guilty men should
20 unwhipped of the law than that one
innocent man should receive death at its
hands. Let punishment be certain and
swift; then all its benefits are secured.
