A LATE traveller through the Mont Gents
tunnel to Italy gives the following valua-
BILE information He passed from Bardo-
neche to the point of junction of the two
galleries in less than quarter of an hour,
in train employed in removing the ma
terials excavated. The way is not yet
constructedin its whole width for about a
hundred yards in the centre. where blast
ing operations are still going on. Bat
with that exception the double line is COM
pleted, and nothing more remains to be
done but to replace the temporary rails by
permanent ones. The middle of the ex-
cavation forms o eliminating point, a
slope Of two 10 hundred having been
provided on each side for drainage, so that
it is consequently from 230 to $50 metres
above the level of the entrances.
The temperature is still very high, but
that circumstance is accounted for by the
necessity of keeping closed the gates con-
structed for the requirements of the SER
. vice, and which are only opened after an
explosion to let the smoke escape. The
fact has been remarked, that when the door
is thrown open the current of air is rapid
ly established, and always in the direction
Of France or Italy. No one can pass over
the line without permission from the
principal engineers, 10 order not to impede
the progress of the works, which are ex-
pected to to bs Completed in June next,
and the inauguration TO take place in July.

WE understand that our street payer is
nearly bursting his immense corpulent
frame for joy over the elegant nominal
tions his so-called party has made, and in
dulged in remarks about the Repu blican
party of disgraceful character. Would
it not be well, Mr.. Rick, if we give to your
friends little of your past history, and
wonder how they will take it, if we en-
terrain them with your doctrines in the
committee of twenty-five year ago, when
you were the first and principle man who
bursted up the German Conservative club ?
When your lust for contract run so high
that you were the first and foremost man
in that gathering to bring out Mr.. Cha
hoon, and run that gentemans house
down with your day and night visits
We think it best for the public interest, no
matter who may win the day, that your
record should be spread open for inspec-
ton. While we have no objection as to
how fat man may grow by honest indus
try, we think that he who is dependent on
public patronage ought to put bride on
his mouth, for the earth in revolving. hu-
man events are uncertain, and the party
and men you abuse may be the keystone
which you have laid aside. And since more
street PAYERS are in the world besides your
self, you may find your remarks, on Sec
ond sober thought, rather unbecoming and
dangerous for future prospects.

The Nominees of the Mechanics
Trades Union.
TO the Editor Of the State Journal.
Please publish the following for the informa-
ton of the voters of Marshall, Madison and
Jefferson wards: ;
Fellow>workipgmen, at meeting of the
Mechanics Trades Union, held at their hall
Thursday, May -, 1871, the committee from
each ward, appointed for the purpose of
making nominations, reported the names of
several gentlemen as fit persons to represent
US 1.-THE workingmen) in the City Council.
The Union then proceeded to choose two of
the names from each ward, thus reported, as
the nominees of tho workingmen of Richmond,
after which the gentlemen selected were
made the unanimous choice OF the Union. A
resolution was then passed, ,,'tthat in the
event that the parties now in Richmond
should refuse to put our men on their
tickets that we, the workingmen, would stand
by our nominees. This, fellow-workmen, we
are bound by our oath and honor to carry
out, and we will carry it out to the letters
notwithstanding the actions of the City
Patronage Ring, that was SO potent against
us in Marshall ward, and as hear in the
rest of the wards named above.
Feliow-workingmen, the time has come for
us to act. Do your duty to defend the honor
of your wives and children. They appeal to
you in thunder tones to put your feet upon
corruption in high places, and crush it out
forever, that you may once more be free to
vote as you choose, and have chance to make
an honest living in your native city, and not
be forced to fee to other cities to seek employ
ment to support your little ones.
Then let me warn you to stand by your fel,
low -workingmen, no matter what ticket they
may be placed upon; or, if on no ticket at all,
vote for them at ali events, for they must be
elected, or you will suffer on, you and your
posterity, for untold ages. We want retrench
ment and reform, and we will have it or We
will die in the struggle.
Truly,
DANIEL HI. ALLEY,
Vice-P President Mechanics Union.

politeness. Now sir, there are exceptions
to all general rules, aud it affords me the
greatest pleasure to assure the public, that
while the conductors on our railroads in
Virginia are generally polite and attentive,
yet none are more so, or more deserving
the confidence and respect Of the travel
