The first work we found is
one and half miles from the
city, on the farm of Mr.. John

point is not quite finished. We
then passed up the road to Jas.
Mills, a distance of d miles.
From this point to Evergreen
Summit the road is nearly
ready for the ties and rails with
the exception of about 1000
feet. On the Summit every
thing is finished but the remov-
ing of a small quantity Of rock.
At Mr.. Peney's, a short dis
tance from the Summit, we lett
our carriage, took the track on
foot to Harper's Summit, a dis
tance of about four miles.
Along this distance the road,
as at other points, where fin
ished, looks well; everything
seems to be done in the best
kind OF style, smooth, broad
fills, and with cuts carried
down in such a shape as to pre-
vent falling in on the track.

used in rip-rapping the utmosI

1t is remarkable that the average tempe
nature at Helena, Montana Territory, (lati-
tude 49, degs.) for the four months, was
the same as that of Philadelphia, although the
latter city is. 1920 feet lower and $50 miles
further south; also, that during February
and March it was much warmer at Helena
than at Philadelphia, Louisville, st. Louis
or Washington. During March it was 9
degrees warmer at Helena than at Wash
iugton or Baltimore. The average winter
temperature at Kalama, Washington Terri
tory, Gin latitude As degrees,) was several
degrees warmer than at Louisville, Wash
ington or Baltimore, in latitude 80 degrees.
The greatest cold of the past winter at
Kalama was IA degrees above zero. Alto
gether the past has been a remarkable win
ter, and where we should have expected the
coolest weather, it has been more than
usually warm. Notwithstanding it has
been so warm in the West and Northwest
as contrasted with the Eastern Atlantic, and
even the Middle States, thele was a much
heavier fall of snow there than for many
years. The order of nature appears to
have been reversed the past winter.

WHAT GREELEY PROPOSES TO DO.

WHAT GREELEY PROPOSES TO DO.
The New York Tribune of the 10th inst.
contains the programme marked out by Mr..
Greeley himself for that journal during the
coming Presidential canvass. 1t sets forth
what it purposes and expects to do in each
probable contingency, as follows:
"1. If there shall be Democratic candi-
dates for President and Vice-President in
the field, we purpose to support that Re-
publican ticket which seems most likely to
succeed.
%. If the main issue in the canvass shall
be Protection against Free Trade, we shall

ON the side of Protection.
go. But if Gas we nope and expect)
there shall be two Republican tickets, and
none other, presented with any hope ofsuc-
cess, we shall favor that one whose election
viii be, in our judgment, most likely to pro-
mote economy in public expenditure, purity
in legislation and in administration, sub
stantial unanimity in upholding for all citi-
Zens a complete equality Of rights under the
law, and hasten the return of fraternal con-
cord and mutual good viii between those
who were arrayed against each other in saIl-
culinary strife throughout our great Civil
War. s.
''Such is our position; and it viii not be
affected by the nomination of A or B, G
or d, at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, or else
where"
In other words: Mr.. Greeley is convinced
that Grant is a curse to the country, is cor
rupting the government, estranging the
people and carrying the whole to perdition;
still he would join the destroyers of his
government rather than support a Demo
crat or compromise his notions as to the
best manner of levying duties on importsl
This is craftsmanship with a vengeance.
Yet it is just such craftsmanship and CON-
mon sense as Mr.. Greeley has exhibited
throughout his political career.
The Tribune announces that it will NOT
be an "organ;" that it will not print cam.
paign editions, and that it will not surren
der its columns mainly or largely to the
advocacy of this or that platform or ticket

IN his late speech in New York, Senator
Trumbull spoke Of the usurpation Of militia
ry authority, and illustrated them by citing
examples at the South, and by pointed
allusion to the fact that the White House is
filled with army officers, acting as Secreta-
ries, in fragrant contempt Of the law which
declares that no officer of the regular army
shall discharge the functions Of civil office.
He compared tie course Of Grant with that
of Andrew johnson, and asked whether it
would not have been denounced as a gross
abuse Of power if the latter had filled the
White House with army officers, or organ
lied a Legislature as that at Albany was or
ganized? He declared that the safety ofthe
citizen, and protection to his person and
property, must be found in local laws which
the people themselves administer, and not
in a centralized government, and he predic-
ted that if these encroachments are permit
ted to 60 on, the day is not far distant when
our republican system viii be transformed
into a despotism, with all power at Wash
ington. 1t might be despotism of one
man, or OF Congress of five hundred, but
it would still be despotism.

THE RESPONSE OF NEW YORK.

BEAoEONSE M" EOG6lAs
The meeting of Liberal Republicans at
New York on the evening of the 18th inst.
struck terror TO the Grant men, and well
may it have done SO. The New York
Tribune of the 18th says of this meeting:
New York gave, last night, the first re-
spouse to Cincinnati. 1t was an answer
worthy Of the noblest cause. The pUrsuers,
whom Gen. Schurz described as "baying
on the track Of the independent Senators so
fiercely that it would be alarming if the
collars around their necks were not so
plainly SEEM" have delighted III declaring
the Liberal Republican organization "an
insignificant movement by mere handful
Of disccntended soreheads." Tic largest
meeting in Cooper Institute since the war,
and one equal 10 the best in every element
of responsibility, influence, and devotion to
Republican principle, is the fitting reply. If
any resident of New York ever had doubt
as to the purpose of her best citizens
to keep the work Of Reform from
stopping at the city limits, this
meeting resolved his doubt. If any ever
had fear that Administration patronage,
or the crack OF the party whip by the party
upstairs over the party leaders, could 81
1ence OF OSerdWe the heiOrmerS, ibis meet
ing allays his fear. If any needed the sii-
mulus of seeing tens Of thousands co-oper-
a,ing TO the National publication, this meet
ing gives him the cheer that comes with the
inspiration of numbers, and eloquence, and
contagious enthusiasm.
Responses to the Cincinnati call multiply
on all hands. But we reckon this the most
substantial impetus the good work has yet
received-the most suspicious beginning
any great political campaign has bad for
MANY a year. 1t means that the Cincinnati
Convention is to be a success alike in num-
bers, representative character and geaerous
purpose. Let it be equally wise, and it viii

States.

REDIsTRICTIxG PENNSYLVANIA.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette furnishes another evil
dence of the centralizing tendencies of the
times. He writes under date Of the 18th
inst. as follows:
"The Pennsylvania Republicans in the
House are preparing a bill for the appor-
tionment Of their State, the act of the re-
cent Legislature for that purpose having
failed to become law through the Govern
ors refusal TO sign it. They find the con-
stitutional authority for apportionment of
the State by Congress in the clause which
provides that the times, places and manner
Of holding elections for Senators and Rep
resentatives shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof, but Con-
gress may at any time, by law, make or alter
such regulations except as to the places of
choosing. The legislation desired by the
Pennsylvania bill has never before been at
tempted by Congress, but they have the
opinion of some of the ablest lawyers in the
House, among them Judge Mercur, now
candidate for the Supreme Justiceship of
bis State, that the proposed action is clearly
within the scope of the constitutional au-
thority of Congress"

The Banner in its last issue attempts to
make a point against the Democracy Of

scanning fortunes Of crippled party"
We by way Of reply ask Are the fortunes
of the Democracy Of Tennessee waningP
If SO, wherein. Is thers any one who pro-
poses to run for Governor, member of Con-
gress or member Of the Legislature, that can
beat the democratic nominee? If yea,
who is he? We presume that the Bonner
is mistaken in its calculation in this behalf:
the fortunes Of the Democracy are not
waning, but are more particularly and es-
pscially bright than at any other time since
the war closed. So may it be.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
The latest reports from Mexico are not as
favorable to the Juarez government as it
was couple of weeks ago, but it is difficult
TO predict the result of the "unpleaSantness"
in that republic. There are indications,
however, that the Juarist forces will make
more vigorous efforts to crush the revolu-
tion than they have yet put forth. In the
meantime this civil war appears to be
dangerously trenching upon the "eminent
domain" of this country. Some efforts have
been made by the Juarist authorities on the
Rio Grande, to prevent raids into the United
States for the purpose of stealing stock.
This practice has reached point which
challenges the attention of our Government.
A recent report of the Grand Jury for the
Eastern District Of Texas sets forth that
G0,000 square miles of Texan soil have been
pillaged by armed bands of Mexicans com
ing from beyond the Rio Grande; that since
the close of our civil war in 1866, 100000
head of cattle, valued at over $6,000,000,
have been stolen and driven across the
frontier into Mexico. The local press
sustains these allegations. The San Antonio
Herald declares that between Feb. Is and
90, four large drOYes of stolen cattle
were crossed into Mexico between the
Florida and Santa Maria Ranches. These
are on the Rio Grande, some thirty miles
above Brownsville. The drove in question
numbered over 1000 head, and as they are
worth twenty dollars apiece, it follows that
a loss of $4,000 was inflicted on our peo-
pie by this single Operation" As a conse-
quence of the publication Of these facts,
and the representation of the United States
Judge, the officers in command on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande are taking
measures to repress the freebooters, and
some stolen property has been restored to
tie United States officer commanding at
Fort RinggC d, by whom they were turned
over to the Hghtful owners. Trevino, a
revolutionary chief, having managed 10 push
his colamn in threatening proximity to
Mstamoras, Gen. Palacios, the Government
commander in that city, has deemed it
proper to advise Gen. McCook Of the fact
that, in case of an attack upon Matamoras
by Trevinc, he could not guarantee the
American side of the Rio GTande from in
volatility by hostile shots. Gen. McCook,
however, promptly protested against all acts
of an uIfriendly nature on the part Of Gen.
Palacios-especially that looking to block
ade of the Rio Grande against American
vessels-and the latest accounts indicate
that his protest, backed as it is by show
of military force, has been effective. If
Grant was not so intent upon carrying two
or three Of the Southern States in the
Presidential election by military force, there
would be no need to apprC .hend any danger
from Mexican revolutions is, for SUFFICIENT
force could b placed along the Rio Grande
to protect the people of Texas.

Miss ANNA DICKINSON used TO be

that she has taken Grant to task, and criti-

is not so marvellously proper woman that
she used to be. The st. Louis Democrat
(Radica) philosophers in this way about
gentle Anna:
