Concerning the final completion of the

tioaalist says: The last mile of the road
was laid yesterday. The distance be-
tween the rails from either end gradually
lessened as the sun drew near the wet
ern horizon, and after darkness had fallen
by the light of torches glaring fitfully, the
last was laid and the last spike was driv.
en-which connected the Atlantic and
the waters of the Savannah. The irons
from this and the lower end were con-
nected at half past seven o'clock yester'

Relief Contemplated.

A Washington letter says: ''Thc COM
mittee ofways and means have agreed to
report favorably the bill which refunds
the proceeds OF sales of lands in the South
crn States against which taxes were asses
scd aud not paid. This bill has been be-
fore the committee for long time, aud
been pressed at each session Of Congress
since the war. The bill now provides
that the taxes and cost ofsale be dcduc-
ted from the proceeds, and the difference
be refunded to the owner, who, where
such lands are occupied by bona fide pur-
chasers, must execute a lease to the occu,
pant. The amount to be affected by the
bill is about 100000. The session is
probably too near a close to admit Of the
discussion that must necessarily follow,
and the bill may go over to the next Com
gress for that reason

Doing Tie Bank OF England.

Disclosures of most startling character
respecting heavy torgeries on the Bank Of
England have just been made public
The bills of the bank have bceu success
fully counterfeited to Il large amount, an
extensively circulated throughout the
country. Many of the most eminent
firms in London have been victimized
and have suffered serious loss. The torg-
cries were largely in Rothschild's name,
and will, it is believed, amount to mil.
lion dollars. Through the bills diScoun-.
ted by the bank a large amount of Alncri-
can bonds have been btained on the
profits of the forgery. Twenty-Five hum
drcd pounds reward is offcrered by the
authorities for the arrest of Frederick
Warren, an Americas, charged with
countericiting American bonds to the ex-
tent of $3.50, 900, and also with the bill
forgeries on the Bank ofEngland.

bark Oneco, loaded with lumber, from
Savannah for Callao, while at anchor off
Tybee Knoll, was discovered to be on
fire. She was scuttled to save her. She
is now lying in Cockspur channel, with a
party of men at work on her. AS soon
as the scuttling has been repaired and the
vessel relieved of water and part of her
cargo, she will be towed to Venus Point
and a survey held with view to having
permanent repairs made Immediately. 1t
is thought that the cargo will be dis
charged and sold, having been pretty

A Lame Conclusion.

The Credit Mobilier investigation, the.
greatest farce of the age, which has
dragged its slow length along during
this whole session of Congress, was
finally disposed Of on Thursday the
9th inst, and the committee dis
charged. Mr.. Sargent offered a substi-
tute for the resolution reported by the
committee recommending the expulsion
of Oakes Ames and James Brooks. to
the effect that the House condemn the
conduct of these gentlemen. A motion
to lay the whole subject on the table was.
rejected by vote Of so yeas to I64 nays.
Mr.. Sargent's substitute was adopted by
vote of lis yeas to l10nays.. The reso-
luton condemning Mr.. Ames' conduct
was adopted by vote of lSl to SO, most
IF the leading Democrats voting in the
negative, The resolution censuring Mr.
Brooks was adopted by vote of 174 yeas
to SO nays. A motion to lay the pream-
bic to Mr.. Sargent's resolution on the Ia
BILE was lost by vote of IS yeas to 131
nays, after which vote was taken on the
preamble and it was rejected-yeas SO,
nays 1l3. Mr.. Speer, of Pennsylvania,
then offered long preamble and resolu-
ton reciting the evidence taken before
the Poland Committee in reference to
Hon. w. d. Kelly, and declaring that
he deserved the u qualified censure Of
the House. Mr.. Kelly then took the floor
and made brief speech protesting
against this effort to thus strike him down
without an opportunity I'd be heard by
witness or by counsel. Gen. Butler de-
nounced this attempt to censure Judge
Kelly when he had not a proper opportu-
nifty ofdefense. Finally the whole sub
ject was laid upon the table by vote of
yeas III, nays 10. Mr.. Stevenson offered
a resolution censuring the conduct ofMr.
Samuel Hooper, Of Massachusetts,, for
his connection with the Credit Mobilier,
but the House, by vote Of yeas rs to
nays 10S, refused to consider the resolu-
ton. Then, on motion of Mr.. Sargent,
the committee, of which Mr.. Poland was
chairman, was discharged from further
consideration of the subject.
But the most impressive scene was af-
ter the votes on Brooks and Ames were
taken. 1t was one overwhich "the Gods
| might have smiled" Messrs. Elliott
and Rainey, of South Carolina, were two
of the 32 who voted even against the mild
condemnation contained in resolution of
eensure. Mr.. Brooks conspicnbusly left
his seat and went first to Mr.. Elliott, and
in the presence of hundreds in the rear Of
Elliot's seat, thanked him at length and
emphatically for the vote which he had
given; he then did the the like to Repre-
sentative Rainey, whose seat was in dis
tant part of the House.

same state of feeling seems to have been
provaloat in the House on Thursday last
when it came to vote ON the credit mo-
bilicr matter. Very few wanted to utIer-
y condemn or expol some for doing what
would, if abandoned, make the Office of
VI. G. Of very little profit.
