NJ. 4. Burgess and o party of .engi-
neers Of Salt Lake, Sewer Valley and
Phoebe Railroad. arrived here yester-
day, having explored the country be-
tween Salt Lake City and this place,
with "a view to,a railroad route be-
tween those points. They Travelled
through Toole, Rush. Tintic, Sewer,
Beaver and Hot -Spring Valleys, and
report upon that route as having much
in its favor. The ranges east and
west of these valleys are remarkably
rich In minerals, including gold. sill
yer. copper, Iron and lead. Mr.. Bur-
CESS believes the building Of a road
through that region will stimulate old
and induce new industries beyond tile
hopes Of the most ~sanguine. The "trip
vas made without accident.
Yesterday the largest freight team
that we eve recollect seeing In South
east Nevada, passed through on It's
WY to Bullionville. 1t was one of
Pritchard's fast frslghters, and con-
sisted of three wagons and twenty
matched brown mules. The wagons
were loaded with mill machinery for
the. Raymond 6 Ely. The load
weighed $4,000 pounds, and made the
through trip from Palisade to Bull
lionville in thirteen days, n of tho
quickest trips ever made by a big
freight team.
VIM. A. NJ. Van Bokkelen arrived
here by Sundays stage to take the i'm

STRENUOUS efforts are being made
by tho press of Pennsylvania to In
duce the Constitutional Convention

so that proof Of the truth Of allegations
may be received in the trial. This Is

the fossilferous character of n conyen.
ton which would hesitate to act in the
matter. In an editorial upon this
subject the Reading Times says:
The newspapers of this State have
rarely shown such unanimity Of senti-
ment rs they are exhibiting in regard
TO the late action of the convention
upon the libel clause Of the bill OF
rights. There is no distinction Of Re-
publican or Democrat. of city or coun-
~, on that subject. A suggestion that
a meeting OF the journalists Of the
State be held, to represent their views
to the convention aud demand at least
a measure Of justice, has been gener-
ally approved. 1t is to be hoped that
the common sense of the delegates will
be awakened, with or without this
stimulant. Ii the press Of the State
will show that 1t is In earnest In re-
sisting the presumption Of criminality
that now rests upon It's utterances, the
desired point is sure to be gained.

COUNSEL. for the defense in the case
Of Susan b. Anthony, convicted of
illegal voting at Rochester last No
vember, yesterday made a motion for
a new trial, which was denied by the
Court. The prosecuting officer then
demanded sentence, and after a short
stump speech from Miss Anthony
which was finally squelched by the
Court, he sentenced her to pay q fine
Of 800 and costs Of prosecution, and
added, "there Is no order that you
stand committed until the fine ispaid."
Miss Anthony in her remarks desired
no clemency, but demanded the full
rigor Of the law. 1t is apparent that
in the refusal of the Judge to order
her commitment in default of payment
Of the fine, her rights were again with
held. Her request should have been
complied with. q

IT appears that at least one Of the
sharsrs in the outrageous plucking OF
the firm Of Phelps, Dodge s. Co. by
the New York Custom house officials
is to be deprived Of his proportion OF
the plumber. Dispatches report that
the Attorney General has decided that
the resignation of Surveyor Cornell Of
New York took place on tho 3lst OF
January last, and not on the appoint
ment Of his successor. 1t Is understood
that this decision will deprive Cornell
of his share of penalties paid by Phelps,
Dodge & Co., which would be about
$22,O O0. This informer and spy sys-
TEN has become 4 stink to the people,
and should long since have been abol-
ished, as it has in nearly every civil
lied country. II people are to pay
penalties, let the Government have
the benefit, and not a lot OF Custom
house officials. whose Interest 1t is to
entrap innocent victims aud then bleed

TROUBLE BREWING.

-
w. H. Russell. the Vienna CORES
pondent ofothe London Times. IN a
late letter to that Journal draws a
fearful portrait of the condition of
Germany ut present. He seems to
think that a general Il Is probable
which will Involve all Europe. He
says the very earth groans under
the weight Of the armies In Prus-
sla and Northern Germany, aud the
evil Is felt and declared to be intoler-
able yet Inevitable SO long as France
and Austria are armiug. Austria pro-
tests against the idea that she Is armlng
for aggressive purposes and declares
that her organization is intended for
defensive purposes only, and that 1t
looks toward the East (Russial and not
toward the North and West
Prussia and Germany. Mr.. Russell
thinks. however, that 1t would need
but small %provocation to induce
Bismarck to demand explanations
OF the. Austrian Government. lie
says that he has in. fact been told
that things must change; that Austria
must quit 'fortifying herself aud arm
ing her people. Or be broken up by the
Germans. Education, he adds, Is dy-
ing out. There are 1000 schools, for
which teachers are not forthcoming
the chairs In the colleges and universe
ties are vacant, aud no recruits are be-
ing added to the learned professions.
The thoughtful among the German
people ponder over the condition, and
many very liberal men condemn the
policy which has allenated the Catho'
lies by q new civil marriage law. Ii
is denounced by both the Catholic and
Radical press Us unwise. unjust and IL
liberal, and tending to the aliena-
ton of the Catholic population from
their allegiance to the Government.
Taken altogether the letter shows
that the effect of the war between
France and Prussia and the unifica'
ton Of Germany, has not been alto.
gether beneficial to the latter, and
that although successful against the
French, the moral effect of her sue
cess has been deleterious to the best
interests of the German people. Thai
warlike ambition aud military arrays
have usurped the place of scientific
investigation and practical learning
and a spirit Of unrest seems to have
taken possession Of the whole Of Eu'
rope. France only awaits an opportu'
nifty to recompense her injuries by the
sword and to recover her lost prov
inces Of Alsace and Lorraine, while
Austria Is getting ready to help her
If a Republican form Of government
continues In France, she would re.
eeive also considerable aid from Spain
and Italy in snch a contest. Russia
will take sides with Prussia. and
North Germany, coveting Austrian
possessions, and England will sit still
and make guns and powder, iron
clads and blockade runners, while sht

This Is probably n consummation Of

line from New York to Ogden. All
that Il necessary for him now is to get
hold Of the Central Pacific and the
business Of California and Nevada Is
completely at the mercy Of a man
whose interests are In every way iden-
titled with the business Of New York
and Chicago, and necessarily inimical
to that of the Pacific coast. We pre-
dict that il Cornelius Vanderbilt ever
gets hold of the Central Pacific, the
programme he has thus far followed in
the East will be adopted, and tariffs
be adjusted to the highest maximum,
which the business of the coast can
support without utter ruin.

. PROPHECY.

Thirty years ago that brilliant but
cratic genius Edgar A. Poe wrote an
article entitled a "balloon hoax"
which was published in the New York
Sun and gave a detailed account Of the
supposed crossing Of the ocean in the
air by means Of a balloon. He said =:
1.-The great problem is at length
solved! The air. as we'll rs the earth
and the ocean. has been subdued By
science and will become n common
and convenient highway for mankind.
The Atlantic has been actually crossed
in a balloon In the i~nconceivably short
period Of se7enty-1ye hours from shore
to shore !" q
This product Of the vivid imaglna-
ton of tue poet seems now about to
take rank as a prophecy to be realized
within the next thirty days. Several
eminent aronauts are emulous of the
distinction. A German Professor In
Philadelphia wants to start from
thence. and Professors Wise and Dom
ALLISON are surely going to sail to the
East from Boston Common Oil the 4th
of July. This is no more wonderful
than many other things which have
occurred during the lifetime of this
generation, and we dare not doubt Its
eventual success.
