10 To show the peculiar effect of the
Oregon and California Railroad on Towns
in the former State, we copy from the AL
baby Register o: May 9th the following
Since the assurance of railroad facilities,
afforded by the citizens securing to Ben
Holiday the required $4,000 subsidy,
Harrisburg has began to put on style.
Real estate in the town aud vicinity al
ready feels the impetus given to the gene
raj business of the country by this " mon
strous monopoly" the Oregon and Calfor-
MIA Railroad, and prices are correspond
dinghy stiffening. Improvements of all
kinds are being talked Of and inausurated
to meet the demands of the future.
Among theimportant improvements which
will be consumated this season, is large
hotel building, to be erected by Mr. James
Gore, the doors, sash, etc., for which have
already been ordered from this city.
Other improvements will rapidly follow,
and it is predicted that Harrisburg will be
one of the business towns in the State, and
a first rate place to make money.

scene of the great German loan.
In fancy we sec it all, even now, wildly
as when Selucius, the master Inner, por
trayed it last Spring to his ear enthrallcd,
cye-entranced audience. There was the
palatal apartment of Jay Cooke 4 Co.;
knecling around the mammoth map, spread
out on the soft carpet, were Germania's
moncyed masnatcs, and Columbia's scarcely
less potent money kings. Towering above
all, Peliou upon Ossa Of majesty, stood
"our Delegate" {" your humble servant"

in Jay Cookies private Office pointing out
to the suppliant bankers the salient points
of the q finest sheet of water in the world"
quoting at the same time the most brilliant
passages of the widespread manuscript Of
his Christian Association lecture.
That fancy sketch, Republican brother,
was the chat that caught you. Who
wouldn't 90 for Selucius, the eloquent,
the man before whom foreign bankers
bowed the golden knee, the man who
lifted up his voice" in behalf of the
Northern Pacifc's claims, and who turned
the poised scales of a doubling Congress
With what a master hand he drew that
bow, and how completely his ravishing
music beguiled the senses of his hearers
The best writers of romance owe their
success to fidelity of detail A lichen

picture that has endowed it with life and
crowned its author with fame. The Gun.

ing. He drew the 6ddle-bow to impress
his readers with the simplicity and truth
Of his narrative. Alas brethren, Seu-
cius, is imaginative, We admit, but he new
err spurred his Pegasus to so wild a flight
before.
We did not believe, at the time, in the
picture so cunningly drawn, nor in the
alleged calling of the whilom divine to the
salvation of the lost North Pacific and
not long since assurance was made doubly
sure by intelligence from reliable source
at the East, from which we learn that Sc.
lucius never appeared before that grave
conclave of foreign bankers, that no such
graphic and dramatic scene was enacted 10
the great fnancier's room, that the whole
scene was rehearsed for buncome on the
.credulous shores of "the finest sheet of

Alas, for that historic apartment! O

Special 70 the MEMPHIS APPEAL
LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 10
This morning Clayton sent a message
to the Senate nominating Lieutenant
Governor johnson to the Office Of
Secretary Of State, Uice r. J. II. White,
resigned. The Senate went immedi-
ately into executive session. He was
confirmed. Senator Hadley, from
Pulaski, was elected President Of the
Senate. johnson at once accepted
and entered upon the discharge Of his
duties.
This has taken every one, except
the ring, by surprise. The friends of
Johnson are so mortified and dis
gusted with this contemptible act, and
even his enemies, that he is politically
dead fOrevermOre in this State. The
Democrats and Conse ervatiYes Of both
Houses in caucus had decided upon
him as their candidate for United
States Senator. This is how the poor
imbecile was tempted TO turn traitor
to his party; to turn his back upon
his friends, and sacrifice his honor for
the Office, which is his only Temuner-
alton, as he could be bought without
money. Mr.. Ham, formerly Of the
House, and brOther-in-law of Mr.. John
son, was first approached by Clayton,
and purchased for circuit judgeship.
Through him Overtures were made
to johnson, and, poor man, he
weakened at the first offer. Clayton
has now a clear field for his re- election
to the Senate tomorrow; but not
quite so certain. Senator White, col
Ored, has so aroused the darky ele-
ment that they are unanimous for his
election to the United States Senate.
This will create a division.
The Conservatives tonight have re-
ceived the assurance from some Of the
Clayton faction that they have full
filed their promises to Clayton and
will unite with them in electing their
choice. White (cOlored) viii receive
the support of the Conservatives on
the first ballot, then they will center
upon Mcdonald, and if those who
are dissatisfied with ClaytOn's action
the black Senators, unite with them,
Clayton will be finally defeated at
his own game.
The Governor appointed one Of his
tools as special Chief Justice to preside
over the trial of Mcclure; he ap-
peared before the Senate and took the
oath; they then issued an order di-
recting Mcclure to appear before them
on next Thursday.
