Railroad from the East.

The Topeka Times says that Presi- dent Nickerson, of the AtchisOn, Tope ka tS Santa Fe railroad, has written a letter to W. R. Stebbins, of Atchison, embodying the following information with reference to the extension of the road from Las Animas to Pueblo The Company have 700 tons of iron now at the front, 1000 tons now under contract for delivery November 10, and 1000 tons under contract for delivery by the last of November in all 3,100 tons, or sufficient to lay thirty-three miles of track. They will purchase the balance of the irNn within a short tune. OctO- Der g, they commenced laying iron on the extension west from Las Animas, and have laid about one-half mile a day since. As soon as the Messrs. Steb- bins, who have the contract for deliver ing the ties, furnish a sufficient stock. the company will increase the force of tracklayers, and put down about one mile of track per day Mir Stebbins informs us that he will without doubt have all the ties necessary delivered within forty days They have a large force of men at work, and nothing but n freeze up of the Arkansas will pre- vent the delivery Of ties as fast as they s-a required.

sham Law Diplomas i'm Washing
 ton.

The Boston Posts special dispatch from Washington says: One of the many institutions of this city which have some kind of mysterious ex- istence, is called the " National Uni versity Law School" It has it's headquarters ID an out-of-the-wsy garret, and 1t appears to have done quite an extensive business in selling diplomas. The whole Faculty, 1t is alleged, consists of one man, whose name often appears in print as Chancellor Wedgewood. To give the so-called university some kind of a standing, Judge Shell, of the Police Court, has given several lectures on criminal law. Another of our Judges has also been caught in the trap, and now regrets that he ever had any thing to do with the swindle. It is openly charged in print end other wise, that WedgewoOd has carried on an extensive business in the sale of diplomas, and the matter IS now be- ing investigated. Some time since one Kodsma, a Japanese connected with the Legation here, began to- study law in the office of Fisher, then District Attorney; after about three months he concluded to return to his home, and applied to several of our law colleges to purchase diplo- ma, but was unsuccessful. Hearing of Wedgewood and his National University" he called upon him and in half an hour he was fully graduat- ed as u lawyer, aud after paying his money he left armed with diploma. The members of the Bar are natural | ly much exercised over this fraud. and intend to have its perpetrators properly punished. One of the Sun day papers says all that was neces- sary to become lawyer under
 Wedgewood's training was to pur- chaee a book published by him, ou
 "Government and the Laws aud
 buy diploma. It has never been claimed there was any faculty con nected with this University, which has according to all accounts, gradu- sted over one hundred lawyers, and the greatest surprise IS expressed that it was not exposed long since.

To that end they will prepare and present to the next legislature a petition asking for a liberal appropriation for the above purpose, and they would most respect fully ask those who can furnish any
 thing that will show to the nations O

Railroad from the West.

SAN FERNANDO, November 13, 1875.
 EDITOR ALTA The tunnel at this place is progressing finely, and the superintendents say it will be finished next July This I regard as one of the greatest works of the age, undertaken and carried through by any private company. The great tunnels of Penn sylvania and Virginia were carried through by State aid The companies were compelled to fall back upon the States for help, or abandon them alto gether. This end of California feels under lasting obligations to Stanford, Hopkins, CrOcker, Colton and asso- ciates, for the energy with which they are pushing all the railroads in South ern California. There is not another class of men on this coast accomplish ing as much for this State as they age today. C. MACLAY.

Meeting and Action ofConSress.

The Congress of the United States. assemblies next Monday The House has a large Democratic majority and the Senate considerable Republican majority. At any time, the two bodies so composed could hardly be expected to work in harmony Nearly all great measures have q partisan bearing, and as next year another Presidential cleo tion occurs, each body of Congress will not only try to prevent the other from gaining any advantages by means of legislation, but will very likely turn every available point to its own benefit or its opponents damage The parti- san newspapers foreshadOw this course, as fur as they can. While aid To the Texas-Pacific railway changes in the land laws measures affecting the currency, revenues, Indians, tele graphs, etc, alike affect the masses of both parties and are truly na tional in character, they, in view of the expected close election contest of next year, will very likely be handled so as to serve partisan purposes rather than the best good of the country al large.
 Any legislation regarding another overland railway, the public lands and Indians, is of first importance to the people of Arizona, and on these subjects it is expected bills will be introduced at an early day of the session. Bills regarding our relations with Mexico would, if brought forward, necessarily have direct and great interest with the people along our southern border from the Pacific Ocean Co the Gulf of Mex. leo, and some such may be introduced in view of the inability of Mexico to pay her just indebtedness to our own and other nations. New postal routes are easily obtained, for the establish. ment of them does not necessarily make it obligatory on the Post-Office Depart ment Co order service. The ensuins session is the long one, that is il ma, extend beyond the third of next March to time agreed upon by both branches and therefore there will be ample time tC perfect useful measures ; but the enact ment of many such need not he expect led. II seems almost certain that tn, House will order investigations fol partisan effect. and of course so far a. within it's power, the Senate will cOun teract influence thus eXertei and very likely assume the offensive on subjects that will put the House on Inc de lensiyc One thing is certain as (, legislation, and that k whatever gool bills pass, both parties will justly claiu some credit therefor. The partisal capital made will mainly arise iron the discussion of matters regarding which no legislation will be effected

Rainfall fin the SIerras.

In the November number of The Overland Monthly, T. J. Arnold writes
 The rainfall from the foot of the west slope ofthe Sierra Nevada to the summit of that range varies from twen- ty-four to sixty inches, and the rain fall over the entire watershed of the upper Sacramento. embracing an area of 5000 square miles, is nearly as great Averaging the entire watershed upon the figures above presented, gives the following results: On 15,000 square miles the average rainfall is about for ty inches; on 14,000 square miles, twen. ty-four inches; on 16,000 square miles, eighteen inches; on 5000 square miles, fourteen inches; being an average of twenty-five inches. Nearly two-ffths of the entire rainfall occurs in the months of December and January"

Sectnrian Appropriations Opposed.

The New York Herald says It is reported that Know Nothing lodges are being organized in New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania
 The name IS not correctly given, nor does it designate the spirit of the or ganizations. Nor are they confined to the States mentioned by the Herald. In all the Eastern and Middle States, in some of the Western and Southern States, associations are formed and are rapidly extending in numbers all over the whole country. Their main object is to vote against every man who favOrs the appropriation of money by the State to sectarian purposes, or who is dis posed to give to any sect privileges not equally enjoyed by all other sects and citizens. Already their numbers are very great, and their votes count just when and where they are not counted on.-New York Observer.

Destination i'm San Francisco.

The Bulletin of November r, said in this connection
 We learn from the San Francisco Benevolent Association, that there is more destitutiOn in our city than has existed for many years. Within the past few weeks, the rooms of the As sociatiOn have been besieged with wo- men and children, asking for the mere necessaries of life. Every day new ap- plicatlons are been made for temporary relief The society assisted last month four hundred and fifty persons, most of them women and children, and as the rains continue the number daily in creases.
 We think there is very little destitu- tion in Arizona, and comparatively few who properly endeavor to get employ ment, are short of food and clothing. But news from all the large cities is to the effect, that more than usual desti- tuition prevails among the poor.
