ARAILwAY OVER THE ANDES.

A correspondent Of the NelU York
TIMES, writing from Callao, Peru, gives
an interesting account of railway
from that city on the, Pacific to La
Oroya on the east side of the Andes, a
distance of 136 miles. From the Pa
cifc it attains an altitude of over 15,-
600 feet in los miles. In one section
the ascent is 5000 feet in Is miles. One
structure is remarkable for being the
highest of the kind in the world, and
far surprising all others of the same
class in its perfect system of bracing
and connections. The viaduct crosses
a wild and picturesque ravine, through
which foams and flashes a small noun
tain torrent called the Aqua da VerTu-
gas. 1t consists of four deck spans, of
the Fink type Of truss, three of which
are one hundred and ten feet long, and
one, the central span, being one hun
bred and twenty-five feet in length.
The spans rest ON tiers built of wrought
iron columns, and these piers are fifty
feet long, by fifteen feet wide ON top.
There being three piers, the total length
Of the viaduct is five hundred and sew
cnty-fve feet. These piers are the
great feature of interest, and are, re-
spectivcly, l55 feet, 252 feet, and I87
feet high. Each pier consists of twelve
legs, which in plan form a rectangle;
and the legs are composed of a series
of wrought iron Subsequent columns,
in lengths of % feet, connections being
made by cast iron joint boxes, having
lemons on each end running into the col
rmn. The deep cutting through solid
rock Subscribed as stupendous. A tun-
nelismade, OF inprogress, atan elevation
Of Is, 654 feet. It's length is $500 feet.
It's terminus is at an elevation of 1918
feet. The descent on the eastern side
of the mountain in - miles is 3, 467
feet. The road is a government work,
and Henry Meiggs, the railway king of
South America, has the contract. It's
object is to open an outlet to Callao for
the agricultural products of Peru east
of the Andes. La Oroya and the tun-
mel viii form object-points for railways
and steam navigation, starting from the
Atlantic. The vast, and generally fer
tile, plains Of South America, whose
herds Of cattle and drovcs of horses in
unknown numbers attest the natural
resources Of the country, are likely to
be utilized in the near future. North
and South America will achieve results
in one hundred years that will have the
proportions Of the Amazon and the Mis-
Slssippi.

AN examination Of the accounts of
State Treasurer Hayes, of Texas, shows
that he has deposited S12O,0f3.67 Of the
State money in banks at Topeka and
New York City, in direct violation Of a
law which forbidS him To expose the
public funds to the risk If bank fail
ares. The State Auditor, who reports
the results Of the investigation, sayst the
Treasurer has repeatedly been admon-

Of the owners. Notwithstanding we
have, for the most part, separate schools
for the blacks, the schools CT the whites
would be more than ever liable to this
disturbance Mr.. Summers whole pol
icy is weak and unworthyof an average
statesman The Southern negro problem
is indeed more than craftsmanship can
completely direct. We believe there is
just and safe way through its embar-
easements; but, after the Northern
philanthropists have demanded for the
blacks equity before the law, and after
the demand has been freely complied
with by the South, we think it the part
of true craftsmanship to leave the ques-
ton as much as possible to its own
spontaneous workings. Already South
ern society is reorganizing into harmo-
NOUS and contented clements, and we
cannot but think any interference from
without is extremely unwise. But
perhaps Mr.. Summers ideal is unifica-
ton and amalgamation, and perhaps
he thinks this ideal will be inevitably
reached by the 'inexorable logic of
events In this he is mistaken. Such
an ideal is not in the natural course of
things, and he sadly miscalculates the
chances if he thinks it will be reached
in the unnatural or forced course of
things. He misapprohends mis- own
low "logic Of events, whose whole.
force is to subvert the truth and neu-
tralize reason. If he, of Massachu-
sets, would come to the South and
practically try his policy, before per-
sisting further in it, he would be more
likely to stop short Of his unenviable
goal-that of a high meddler and dis
turber Of the peace.
