PROGRESS OF THE RAILRoAD.-The
grading has extended six miles from the
point of beginning and is progressing as
rapidly as the limited force employed will
allow. The pile-driver is engaged in
piling the creek bottom, and drives from
30 to 40 piles per day. The late rain it is
feared may somewhat delay operations.

A SIGN OF THE TINES,

SAS@s w. $500 AA>ASs
The late editor Of the Courier left with
us the annexed card for publication. 1t
will be seen that he condemns, iu uuquali.
fed terms, the corruption Of the Admins.
,ration, and despairs Of relief, except
through the fundamentally Of the Demo.
cratic party. This view is held by large
portion Of the more honest meu Of the party,
who only await fitting opportunity to
make their power felt iu an expression Of
popular condemnation Of the hish-huuded
outrayes perpe trated in the name Of Loyalty.
The Liberal Republican meeting recently
held in Cooper Institute, New York, in
which some of the most influential men Of
the party participated, is an encouraging
sign of the times. 1t matters not under
what name or 10 what form the question
may be finally presented, the result will be
victory Of principle as glorious as any
that We have ever struggled to achieve or
maintain. The present issues, and those
growing out Of the policy Of the Admins
tratiou since the war, are not of less i'm
portance than those that have formerly d.
vided the nation, nor can these be revived
until the present are settled.
While we by no means advocate the
"possum policy" or "new departure"
we trust that an adherence to principle for
the sake of principle will induce our
party friends to use the means placed at
their command to overthrow the thieving
crew that now control the destiny of the
country. A nobler object never enlisted
united effort. A greater necessity for a
union Of elements opposed to corruption in
high places never existed than now. At
no time in the history of the nation has
the principles on which it is founded been
mcuaced by greater danger, than at the
present time. What will be its final con-
dtion should Grant and his army of plum
derers be conceded another lease of power,
is beyond the scope of mortal vision to de-
termine.
