Opening Of the Railroad to q
Mexican Capital.

The LIST Of January, 1878. will always
be regarded by the Mexlcans as a red
letter day In their history. inasnuch
ms 1t witnessed the Inauguration ofthe
first railway ever opened In their
country. BY the concession granted
to the builders Of the road, the line
had to be completed on that day, and
only a short time previous the Govern
ment was notified that the company
would be able to convey President Ler-
do do Teiada In q special train from
the capital to the first port In the re-
public on the day named. Accord
ingly the President, accompanied BY
the Cabins1 Congress, the foreign rep
sresentatlves, and several distinguished
Mexlcans and foreign gentlemen, lett
Mexico, for Vera Cruz before the rising
of the first sun Of the new year. From
tho capital. to Boca del Monte, . dis
lance Of one hundred and hfty miles,
the road Is almost entirely level. The
remainder Of the route, however, 10
exceedingly uneven, running through
narrow gorges, into tunnels, and
thence over huge iron bridges that
span apparently hottomless precipices.
The peculiarly constructed engines
aud the steam brakes used on the road
enable trains to make steep ascents and
descents, however, and the difficulties
which the mountainous region Of the
country put In the way are thus en-
tirely obviated. The company rode In
beautiful palace cars over the whole
route, and the inaugural ceremonies
were attended with marked displays
of enthusiasm by the %oltizens.rA grand
celebration was held at Vera Cruz on
the arrival of the, distinguished COM
panies, and ceremonies appropriate to
the occasion were entered into.

Stocks.

The Oakland Transcript Of Sunday
plaintiyely remarks:
Well. stocks are down to-day. What
will they be tomorrow? Who can
tell? Why such stocks as Raymond q
Ely, which ships its immense yield
monthly and pays Its dividends
promptly. should fall and not rise
when we want It to, Is unaccountable
especially fall. So Of several pro-
ductive stocks. Some say the fault
Is in the brokers; others say that
Sharon has locked up all the money,
or that Jones will levy another
assessment on Savage to pay up his
clectioneering debts, and consequently
no investment In Washoe stocks Is safe.
Every stock that Il cried down by bro.
kers, some say, is sure to rise. We
doubt that. for we are painfully re-
minded from several certificates In our
possession. which We see are adver-
Used in the Alta, and which, 1t seems,
even Richardson refuses to pay. Oh,
Stocks! Oh, Poverty! Oh, Fortune
How tickle all! We don't know
whether We are q bull Or a bear ; at
any rate, we feel like bearing down on
some one.

LincoIn's silk Hat.

Those who witnessed Llncoln's first
Inauguration (says the st. Louis Re-
pu6lican) will not 500 forget one little
scene which then occurred. The Presi-
don't elect came forward upon the
platform prepared ut the east front OF
the Capitol, with his natural awkward
ness increased by the momentous cir
cumstances Of the occasion, and BY q
gorgeous wardrobe, In which 1t was
evident he felt exceedingly uncom-
Portable. The stiff dress coat, vest and
pantaloons Of black broadcloth were
enough Of themselves to disturb his
mental and physical equanimity but
to these were added other e%ncumbran-
ces, In the shape Of a brand new silk
hat and a ponderous gold-headed cane.
The cane re managed to put away In
a corner, but the disposition Of the hat
perplexed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away-too nice. as he
thought, to rest upon the rough boards;
so, for a minute at least, poor Lincoln
stood there in the gaze Of assembled
thousands, grasping the hat desper-
ately and seeking In vain for q safe
place to deposit It. Douglas, who sat
Immediately In the rear, saw the en-
barrassment Of his rival, and rising,
took the shining beaver from Its sorely
bothered owner, and held it during the
delivery Of the Inaugural address.

pRFs1DSNr GRANT TO VISIT TIN
y SOUTH.

It Is announced that In case the In
coming Congress does not hold an ex-
ira session next month, it Is the inten-.
ton of President Grant to take a tour
through the Southern States. This
visit will be for the purpose Of inves-
tigating and understanding, as far as
practicable, the true causes Of the
troubles which still disturb some por.
lions Of the South, thoroughly inform
himself of the needs Of the people Of
that section, and assure them of the
will and power Of the Government to
aid them and improve their condition In
any and every possible and proper way.
He could notfail to gain In his progress
through tho South . most valuable
store Of facts and impressions which
will be Of great future importance to
tho Government and the people, and
II tho people Of the South will meet
this cordial and friendly advance in
the spirit In which itis meant, nothing
but mutual good can result from such
Presidential visit. Most certainly
nothing can be gained by any exhibit
ton Of coldness or hostility toward the
Administration, and the sensible.
practical people OF the South, apprecl-
ating the situation In Its true light,
will, we doubt not respond and recip-
recats In a proper and appreciative
manner. General Grant Is President,
not Of a party, but has been elected to
a second term Of that high office BY the
whole people Of the nation, with
whom his best interests are Identical.
It will be the fault Of the Southern
people themselves II much Is not &C
complished In this visit toward the ul-
timate %pacificatlon of tho country, and
the restoration Of the old-tims commu-
nifty Of interest and friendly feeling
between the States. The New York
Tribune, referring to this journey and
its probable effect, says:
Nothing will be accomplished If the
better class of Southerners avoid the
President with cold hostility and leave
his reception to the care Of the venal
and interested. His position deserves
their respect. The common good re-
quIres something more-a sincere and
cordial courtesy. and q frank and hon
cat Interchange Of views In regard to
public matters. We think that Gen.
eral Grant has made some grave mis-.
takes In his treatment of the South,
but none so grave Al the South will
make by regarding him as an enemy.
He was q brave and loyal adversary.
After the war he made a tour of OBJ
servation In the South, the results OF
which he embodied In n report so cor
daily friendly as to subject him to
severe auimadversion from Republl-
can sources. We believe that the In
stances since then where his public
acts have given the Southern people
reason to complain have been the re-
suit not Of any unfriendly feeling, but
of a Misrepresentation Of lave fact.
A better acquaintance will result in a
more reasonable and liberal attitude Of
the Government and the governed.
We confidently trust that this great
opportunity will be properly improved
by the President and by the people OF
the South.
