THE TWO ROADS.

Many trains are snow-bound on the
great Northern Pacific road The pas
sengers are enduring great suffering, and
have no assurance that their troubles
will end soon. IL all depends on the
caprice Of the weather. Can any fact
plead with more convincing eloquence
for an early completion Of the Southern
Pacific road2 Capitalists cannot fail to
perceive that similar distractions may
occur every winter, and that trade and
travel will be embarrassed as it is now.
The fact is, this road, constructed at
such enormous expense, does not an.
swer the expectations Of its projectors,
nor that of the country. 1t viii do well
enough for a summer road, but for win.
ter it is nearly useless. On with the
Southern Pacific road 1t will be avail
able all the year round, and as the North
cannot repeal the laws Of climate, the
Southern road will bear away the palm.
What the effect on the progress Of the
South the fact would have, we shall not
now discuss.

REcK,s REPLY.

Mr.. Beck, the gallant and able mem
her of Congress from Kentucky, whom
Senator Brownlow assailed SO coarsely
the other day, came back yesterday in
crushing reply. He AYERS that he can
prove all the charges he has made against
the Southern Radical Governors, and
promises that within a week the test.
mony will be given to the country. The
telegrapbic report of his speech gives
the conclusion as follows:
Mr.. Beck said he meant no disrespect
to the Senate, or any allusion he had
made to it, but when he saw vultures
sitting in the nest of the eagle, and ba-
boons taking the place of lions, he pro.
tested against the outrage. he wanted
to keep the senate pure and high-minded;
he wanted to see the States represented
by honorable men, not by meH who
forced themselves in there by the point
of the bayenet, or by forced corruption,
chieapery, or ostracism; that was the
way be felt like speaking about it. In
conclusion he thanked the house for the
courtesy they extended him. Mr.. Beck
was listened to with the greatest interest
and attention by the members of the
house and crowded galleries. He spoke
with rapidly and force, and was warmly
congratulated by his political friends
when he concluded.

EARTHQUAKES.

A slight shock of an earthquake was
felt at Lisbon on Tuesday last, and very
naturally suggests the one that destroyed
that city more than one hundred years
ago. Anime o'clock on the morning oil
November l, 1865, while the sky was
clear and the weather unusually calm
and pleasant, strange rumbling SOUND
was heard, and without any other warn
ing of approaching danger, the ground
heaved like a sea tossed by mighty
wind and in less than three minutes
time fully three-fourths of Lisbon was a
mass of ruins. Altogether, there were
TWENTY-FIVE shocks, and it is estimated
that in and around the city at least
sixty thousand people persisted. Relig-
ions services were progressing in many
of the churches at the time, and the
ponderous walls toppled over upon the
inmates, leaving few unframed TO tell
the tale. In one house where there
were thirty eight persons, only TOUR es-
capped; eight hundred we're killed in the
public prison, and twelve hundred in the
general hospital. At the first alarm q
large crowd fed to the shore of the har-
Dor, and took refuge from the falling
buildings upon new marble quay which
had recently been completed, But here
they we're overtaken by, if possible, a
vet more horrible disaster. Thewater was
suddenly drawn out of the harbor, leaving
it almost dry, and then returned in
tremendous wave nearly sixty feet high.
At its approach the quay, with the throng
of struggling, shrieking humanity gath
cred there, suddenly sunk down into an
unfathomable abyss, and SO absolute
was the humiliation that not a corpse or
even fragment of timber ever came to
the surface. To increase the horrors OF
the scene, the city took fire in several
places and burned for six days before
the flames could be extinguished-llte-
rally roasting alive hundreds OF poor
wretches who were entangled in the ruins.

EXPLODED.

Stokes is thoroughly done for. From
the Cincinnati Commercials account OF
his transactions, it seems that $5OO,OOO
was the very least he expected to real
ize by his bogus claim agency business.
An want" said he, :" is to get into
Congress, and / can get up the largest
claim business ever done. A shut mouth
pays. Burn this damn letter up" As
public man, he is no more. Next
spring his political grave will be covered
over with thorns and briars. 1t has
come to this, that loud professions Of
loyalty raise a presumption that the
professor is not all right. That hobby,
thank Heaven, can be ridden no longer,
to the injury of the people. The carpet
bag theory that it is better to be loyal
than honest, is exploded.

TENNESSEE OIL LANDS.

The Morristown Gazette says that
Tennessee possesses oil lands of appar.
emily great value became known soon
after the close of the war; but after q
few wells had been sunk, it was found
that so few means Of transportation ex-
listed as to render even flowing wells al
most useless, and work was abandoned.
The valuable discoveries are not to be
suffered to remain permanently unem-
ployed, for new railroad, designed to
afford an outlet for the product Of the
wells, is rapidly building through Over
ton county. A new oil-hunting mania
may agitate the country within the year,
when once discoveries can bring their
oil to Eastern cities.
