The people oil San Diego are agitat
ing the subject Of the construction of
a railroad from that point to connect
with the Union Pacific at Ogden. This
route is claimed to be 230 miles short
or than the route traversed by the
Central Pacific in reaching the coast.
Doubtless IL could be made still short
er by connecting with tho Utah South
ern. A direct line from San Diego to
Ogden would pass for a long distance
through this State. 1t would probab-
Iy come a little this side of Phoebe,
commanding the business of Clark,
Groome, Tem-Piute and the other
mining districts in that vicinity. Such
an enterprise would be Of incalcula-
BILE benefit to Southern and Eastern
Nevada and should receive the cordial
Endorsement and support Of our peo-
Pile. At q meeting of the leading bust
ness men and most influential citizens
of San Diego, held a few days ago, the
following resolutions bearing upon
the question under consideration, were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a committee Of sew
en- Citizens and taxpayers of the city of
San Diego) be appointed, who shall toe
charged with the duty of considering
the project of the construction OF a
railroad from the Union Pacific Rail
road at Ogden, by way OF Southern
Utah, and San Bernardino, Califor-
mia, to San Diego, 81 a. TO facilitate, in
the best and cheapest manner, the de-
veloprnent OF the mining AMI agricul
tural of Utah, Southern Ne
vada, Northern Arizona, and South
eastern California, and to provide a
new and easily operated route To the
Pacific for the North western States and
Territories.
RESOLVED, That such committee be
requested to enter into correspondence
with the officers of the Union Pacific,
Utah Southern, Santa Monica and In.
dependence Railroads, and With other
railroad corporations and persons acl.
ually interested in the development OF
the interior country to I've benefited by
such a road, with the view to securing
cooperation in the work projected
and that such committee appoint some
suitable person to confer with Jay
Gould, OF New York, on this subject
with a view to secure his active assist
ance.
Resolved, That such committee, wher
ready, snail have power TO report Il
the citizens Of San Diego 1T such time
AS they shall deem best.
The chairman was requested to ap.
point the committee and the meeting
adjourned.

NOT SUBJECT r0 ExrRADIrIoN.

The st. LOUIS GtOOe- democrat cor
reefs a popular Misrepresentation re-
garding the nature and consequences
of Boss Tweed's escape from Ludlow
street Jail. By the decision of the Su-
preme Court of New York, he Vas re
leased from confinement on Black
wells Island some time since, on the
ground that the cumulative sentence
against him was illegal. He had been
sentenced to All aggregate of twelve
years and a fine of $4,000, on different
misdemsanors punishable with three
months and a small fine each. The
Supreme Court decided that he could
not be sentenced to than one
term, and that he was entitled to his
release at the end Of the first three
months. He was then rearrested on
civil process on an action brought by
the people Of New York to recover the
money alleged to have been stolen by
him. Ludlow-street Jail is really a
Debtors prison, and he was confined
there In default of $4,000, 900 bail. His
escape from thence does not make him
q fugitive from justice, but only a fn-
gitive from debt. So far from being
compelled to seek refuge in Spain or
Mexico, or some other country with
which the United States have no ex-
tradition treaty, he is perfectly safe the
moment he crosses the Hoboken ferry,
Is he can not be arrested in any other
State, or even in any other county Of
New York State. The suit against his
property will go on, but we do not be-
lieve enough will DO recovered to pay
tho prosecution. Lawyers and friends
have absorbed pretty nearly all the
old man managed to acquire by tho
industrious p~lunderings of . long
life.

The dismissal of General Henderson
as counsel for the Government in the
cases against the St. Louis whisky
thieves, coupled with the ordering of
a military Court of Inquiry for the
especial benefit of General Babcock, is
construed by many as indicative of an
abandonment, on the part of the ADJ
ministration, ofall further prosecutions.
Appropos to this subject, the following
good one is related by the Moberley
(Mo.) Headlight. That journal says:
Notwithstanding the Presidents much
quoted Injunction, Let no guilty man
escape" it Is pretty apparent that he
don't want Babcock tried in a civil
court. 1t is related of a fellow who
went out on a grizzly bear hunt, that
he returned to camp in somewhat of a
hurry, and much soonerthan expected.
One OF his companions asked his rea-
son for such a precipitate abandonment
of the hunt, and he said" I'll tell
you what; them tracks was a gittin' too

CLOSING OF THE BLOODY CHAsM

The st. Louis Times thus feelingly
describes the scene that occurred as
the Federal and ex Confederate Off
GERS met at the recent Railroad Con-
venti0n in that city: AS they stood
up and shook hands-Johnston and
Sherman-for the space OF five min
utes the temple shook as though a
storm was raging. There was no
longer any war in the land. Two Of
the prominent men OF the civil
strife, coming together in the interests
of a restored Union, had met to set an
example of fraternal intercourse and
reunion. The spirit of these " sol.
diers vas communicated to the dele
gates as if by an electric spark, and the
effect was magical. Both were old
friends. What mattered the past ?
Peace is to have her victories also. and
this time the Federal and Confederate
can march under the same flag to the
Pacific. Immediately came an ova-
ton to B~eauregard. Sherman met
him as he stepped upon the platform,
shook hands cordially, and led him
to a seat. There sat the trio, the past
in the shadow and the present in the
sunshine. Wa it fate after all that had
made commerce more powerful than
