for few officers, but in its bearing upon
the general election in November its
importance, cannot we'll be overestima-
ted. Were there no other officers to
elect than the inspectors, that alone
should be- sufficient to induce deep in
terest in the result. The inspector
should be, man well acquainted with
the duties Of his Office, and with the
voters of the district in which be shall
preside. He should, moreover, be a
man Of sound judgment and unyielding
impartiality. Of such character are
the gentlemen whom the Democrats
have placed in nomination, for the
coming election. = - ~
Against the gentlemen nominated by
the Republicans, as individuals, we have
not word to say. but as adherents
Of the Republican party. We sincerely
object to the important Office of inspec-
tor being placed in their hands Not
that we think they would be guilty Of
Intentional betrayal Of their trust, but
we very much fear lest their exceeding
great anxiety to elect their candidates
should lead them to do that which with
different Indictment they would not
think Of doing. The great trouble in
the elections, at the present time. is
the negroes Tney usually present
themselves under SO many different
names; and it is frequently SO hard to
recognize them, that is often exceeding
ly difficult for the judges of the election
to distinguish between those who have
voted and those who have not, and with
an inspector whose sympathies would be
with them, and of that party whose
success depends in a great measure
upon their votes, the temptation to Sc
cure additional votes would be too
strong to permit of very strict inves-
tigation, and, despite the protest of the
challengers, numbers Of negro votes
would thus be polled illegally, On this
account, therefore. it is hazardous to

WHOLE NO. 7O2:
A GREAT RAILWAY PROJECT.

One of the most stupendous enter
prises ever attempted by audacious man
is the construction Of the Peruvian rail-
way, which will connect the Pacific
Ocean with the valley Of the Amazon.
This nineteenth century is full of mar
vels in the way of what is called engin-
eering science-fuller, perhaps of mon
umental works of that description than
all the centuries which have gone before
it since tie fail Of the Ronsn smui,p.
But neither the Suez Canal, which cuts
narrow strip of sand that has';obstructed
the commerce of the world for ages nor
the Mt. Gents tunnel through the Abs.
has presented such appalling obstacles
as those which confront the builders
OF railway at an elevation of II 900 #.
above the level of the sea. There ia
no parallel to this triumph of the scien-
tifc faith, and it is matter for real
patriotic pride that the men who have
conceived and are now carrying out the
work should be our countrymen. To
form some faint idea of the mechan-
ical and natural difficulties which the
construction of this transandine railway
presents, it may suffice to say that thirty
bridges and viaducts, three Thousand
feet in length, and thirty-6ve tunnels
fifteen thousand feet in length, were
required in single locality. To grade
the road, far as completed one hundred
and forty million cubic feet of rock and
earth had to be removed. The work.
which was begun in 1870 has cost already
about s33, 600, 900, and will. probably
cost that much more when finished iii
1876. One of its wonders is the great
viaduct, the highest in the world, which
is $50 feet long and 800 feet high in the
center. The height of the three iron
pillars which support it is respectively
166 ,183, and 253 feet. From 5000 to
$4,000 laborers, mostly Chilians and
coolies are working on the road night
and day.-Inter-Ocean.
