is about eighty miles in length, traversing extensive
Bituminous Coal delds and making direct (and the
shortest possible line between Chicago and the Block
Coal district at Brazil.
Tke Iron and other materials for the Indiana Divi
sion have all been bought and paid for in cash, a
part of 1t III operation and the entreDivsion
is to be finished this season and opened to profta
bic business.
The company is not in debt, and owns a large and
very valuable real estate in Chicago beside having
equipment of twenty-three frst-cass locomotives
and about 700 cars.
A first mortgage upon such road, at the rate Of
$1S500 per mile is safe investment and we know of
no other railroad bond, at the price asked for this
that can demonstrate similar value security for
savings banks and others.
We have sold nearly two millions of these bonds to
savings banks, trust companies and the most careful
investors, and have but $3.50 900 bonds remaining.
They are for $1,000 each, and have forty years to
run. Inter st

1t is seldom that Mortgages upon new Railroads
are considered sufficiently safe for the investment of
Trust Funds. 1t is only when Railroad is earning,
net excess of lis interest obligations, with
tanty of steady growth, that its Bonds can be said
to be perfectly safe.

The net earnings for August were $3a,4l2 46, or at
the rate of 1861 80 per annum. The total inter

the Illinois and Indiana dvis ons is $780, 900 gold.

ALL FOR CoGHLAN. "A Republican
exchange, calls attention to the fact that
all the anti-railroad Republicans in the
last Legislature are now earnestly sup
porting Coghlan for Congress, which
would not be the case were there any
truth in the charge that be is in any
manner committed to the interests of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. Seu-
ator DeHaven, of Humboldt, is making
the canvass in his company Senator
Turner, of Sierra, is active in his behalf
stumping the Northern counties; Senator
Perkins, Of Butte, is warm advocate Of
his reelection Senator Boucher, before
his death, expressed himself emphatically
in the same manner; Assemblyman Turn
er, of Butte, has recently written letter
highly endoring him, and vindicating the
wisdom and propriety of his vote Oh the
Goat Island bill and in fact, we know
of no exception to the rule among the
prominent men Of the Republican party
in this District. Can it be that all these
men have been "bought" by the Railroad
Company When the Republican press,
with equal unanimity, made the fight for
their party candidates, they were accused
of having been subsidized. We shall
expect to see these gentlemen similarly
abused before long -MdryS0tlte appeal.

THE Straight-Out Democrats in San

the votes are counted it will be found that
there are great many Democrats in CAL
ifornia who do not intend to odeliver them
selves in accordance with the Bill of Sale
made out at Baltimore on the 9th of July
last. A great many will vote for the for
lorn hope represented by O'Conor and
Adams, but a larger number will take the
more certain way of insuring the defeat
Of the Dolly Warden Greeley ticket and
will vote straight for Grant and Wilson.

ABOUT CoNGREssMEN.-1t is n great
mistake to make frequent changes in re-
sponsible offices, particularly in mem
bers Of Congress. 1t requires much ex-
perience to become familiar with all the
rules and the duties Of the House of Rep.
resentatives. Till this is done, a mem
Der cannot cope with those more expe-
rienced than he and the interests Of his
constituents must suffer. This was one
of the elements in the power Of the South
before the rebellion. They retained thell
members in Congress for years, till they
became trained and educated, so that
new men coming in could not contend
with them. A faithful and able member
of Congress is alwaps great treasure
but still greater, when by his long expe,
rience he gains tact and quckness in par,
liamentary tactics, so that he can wiclC
his power adroitly and skillfully. An.
other element Of power is large circle
of friends in Congress for much import
ant legislation is carried by personal in
1unce. A large circle of friends can only
be acquired in course of years Of service
in Congress. 1t requires time for mem,
Der TO be well known, and thoroughly ap,
preciated, and to win personal attach
ment and confidence. Vote for Coghlan

LUTTRELL AS A UNION MAN.-It is
claimed that }. X. Luttrell was Union
man during the war. If so, he had a
strange way of showing it. From 1862
to the end Of the rebellion he was in ac-
tive affiliation with the anti-war party,
and uniformly voted against the candi-
dates Of the Union organization. He op-
posed the election Of Low for Governor
in 1868, and was that year defeated for
Assemblyman from Siskiyou county by
the soldiers vote. He voted against Lin
coin in 1865, and for the candidate of the
party that declared the war was failure
and demanded cessation of hostilities
with view of compromise. As a mem
Der of the Assembly in 1864, he always
voted with the ultra States Rights men.
This is the kind of Union man j. X.
Luttrell was during the war. If he was
not SO noisy as some of the Secessionists
Of those days, it was probably because he
had more caution and less courage.-Pet-
dtunld Argus.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

THE CoDEs.-As is well known, the
law providing for the publication of the
codes fixes the price to be charged by the
Secretary of State at 81 so per volume.
1t has been announced that they would
be comprised in four volumes, and in
accordance with this view many parties
have transmitted the sum of $40 to the
Secretary OF State for the whole series.
1t now appears that the Code Commits
sioners have decided to extend the num-
Der of 70 olumes TO five; hence the price
for the whole set will be $l2 so instead of
$40. Parties desiring full set of the
codes will bear this in mind. The price
of the volumes is not under the control Of
the Secretary of State, and their number
is entirely optional with the Commission
ers. s.-SdcFdmeatO Record.
