nAILRoAD CELEBRATION.

The Eureka and Palisade Railroad
was last night completed to within
three miles of Eureka. Beyond a per-
adventure, the whole work will be
finished by Thursday egening. The
benefits to accrue to this community
from this enterprise are too well under
stood to need enumeration st this
time. Employing round numbers,
the case may be briefly summed up
thus: Under the old order Of things,
whom va teamed and staged all the
way to Palisade, freight averaged the
year through about two cents a pound
or forty dollars . ton. Passenger fare
was twenty dollars. Now, as pre-
scribed by law governing railroad
charges in this State, about twenty dol
lars per ton for freight and ten cents
per mile for fare is the utmost that a
be charged. Having again to
round figures, the railroad will reduce
our expenditures for freights and fares
about one-half. to say nothing of speed,
comfort and reliability at all season Of
the year. Formally, in the times when
Woodruff & Ennor done our staging
and w. L. Pritchard our freighting,
this community was taxed annually
fourteen hundred thousand dollars.
With the railroad less than half that
sum is all that is allowed by law, thus
saving to our people more than seven
hundred thousand dollars yearly.
This, we think, should offer an occa
sion for great rejoicing. The railroad
has been built without one dollar Of
aid in the shape of = subsidy. The
enterprising mon at the head OF it, and
who have staked millions on their
faith in the future of our district, are
hereafter to be OF US and with us.
They have accomplished a great work
for this section, Our mining interests
and general prosperity. The railroad,
unquestionably, is to mark q new era
In the history Of u town. All OF
these things considered, we conceive it
TO Do the duty of this people to mani
fest In an appropriate demonstration
their appreciation Of what has been
done in the direction Of promoting the
general prosperity. We understand
that an effort will be organized to-day
70 welcome the first appearance of the
iron horse in our town in a manner
commensurate with the importance o.
the occasion. just what will be done
We are not yet advised, but it is to be
hoped that in whatever is proposed
our people will join heartily and cor
daily. We are all to be benefited by
the railroad, and all should therefore
lend . willing hand in aid Of the pro-
posed celebration.

On the streets there are reports OF
the failure of several mercantile firms
throughout the interior and in the State
or Nevada San francisco paper.
We guess those street reports are not
very reliable, at least 80 far as Nevada
Is concerned. Speaking for the Great
East, we feel authorized in saying that
oil Of our mercantile firms are sound
and prosperous.

A rumor 10 floating through our Cal
ifornia exchanges to the effect that
Geo. C. Gorham, of that State, 10 the
coming man for the place made va
cant by the resignation of Secretary
Delano. We do not know what toun-
dation there is for tho story, but some
Of our contemporaries appear to think
that his chances for the vacancy in the
Cabinet are most excellent. Gorham
prevented the adoption Of anti-third
term resolutions in the California Re-
publican State Convention, and the
very least that President Grant can do,
II he has any gratitude in him, is to &C.
knowledge tho service by assigning
Mr.. Gorham to duty at the head Of the
Interior Department. Gorham has the
ability, and we have quite as much
faith in his honesty q We have In the
integrity Of some Of the bowling re-
formers who have been announcing
him 20 unsparingly for the last four or
ave years. There can hardly be q
doubt that in politics Gorham IL an ac-
tive worker, possibIy to some extent a
schemsr, but in ell OF the opposition
Of his enemies, and mono will deny
that II has not bssn Indignantly abxs-
I've and relentless, We have yet to soc q
single well authenticated act Of dis
honor, or sven Questionable propriety
estsblished against him. Abiding to
his probable appointment - Secretary
Of the Interior the Grass Valley Union,
which n always just to political OPP
ponents, has the following:
Mr., Gorham would make . most ex-
eellent Secretary for California. He
understands land matters here, and he
understands, pretty well, the workings
OF that office, and he Is untlring an 10
industry and attention to bis duties.
We believe that Mr.. Gorham would be
more than circumspect In administer
ing that Office, because he knows that
hundreds Of ~unfriendly eyes would
watch his every movement. He would
therefore avoid even the appearance OF
evil. bnt when his duty comes plainly
before him he would do that duty, no
matter what the owners OF those
watclSul eyes might think or say.
Gorham, rs Secretary of the Interior,
would not be . lad appointment; on
the contrary such ~ appointment
would be good.

GENERAL SHERIDAN AT vIR.
CHINA CITY.

General Sheridan was to have ar
riveda. Virginia City yesterday, and
we he did according to ap
pointment, though the telegraph IS 81
lent on the subject. 1t had baen Ar
ranged to give him a grand reception
and blowout, which we also suppose
came off as per programme. We are
prepared to believe that the Comstock-
ers done the grand in a grand and glo-
rious way. Amongother things a de-
tachment of the military were to meet
the General at Carson and escort him
to Gold Hill. At Gold Hill he was to
be met by the citizens of irginia and
escorted to the office of the Savage
Mining Company, where Colonel Obs
ton was to be- prepared to do all honor
to the distinguished guest. The dis
tinguishing feature of the procession
was to he the Miners Unions of the
Comstock out in full force armed wit h
picks, As emblematic of their calling
andthe resources of the country. Then,
there was to be an arch, appropriately
inscribed, spanning c street, and all OF
the available bunting would be given
to the breeze. Meanwhile, and during
the procession, salutes were to be fired,
while every whistle belonging to the
mills, locomotives and hosting works
from Carson river to the norther nmost
confines of Virginia City were to join
In one prolonged screech; and right
here we are keen to bet that General
Sheridan never forgets that deafening
din of whistles to the last hour of his
earthly pilgrimage. There is no place
in the world that can get up half as
big a noise as Virginia when she once
takes it in her head to toot her horn to
the full extent of her footing resources.
Major General John b. Winters, with
aids of his own selection, was to do
the marshaling, and tn following gen.
tlemen were designat ted as a commit
tee of reception: Ju dye Rising, d. o.
Atkinson, Colonel Frank Osbiston.
Hon. G. f. De Long, Ex-Governor Fl.

LONDON, Oct. IL.
The Pandora arrived safe amt sound
at Portsmouth this afternoon after an
adventurous and eve .tful voyage in
the Arctic s+as. The Pandora arrived
safely at Disco and left that port on the
It'll Of August, reaching Upper Navik
in time to leave on the 18Th. Alter sail
ing from Upper Navik, the Pandora
crossed the dreaded Melville bay WITH
ont mishap. The usual fields of pack
Ice were not visible and All almost clear
sheet of water was found. The
passage was made In good time. In
due time the expedition reached Carey
Island, where Commander Young an
ticipated finding dispatches that might
have been loft by Capt. Mares to be
taken To the British Admiralty. In
this he vas disappointed, as no signs
of the Government exploring expedi-
ton we're visible. There being moth
ing further to be done at the island,
Capt. Young decided to steer for Lam
caster sound and on reaching that point
encountered for the first time ice fioes.
So great was the pressure of the float
ing ice that 1t was with great difficulty
that the Pandora WAS forced on. De
spite the Ice and the difficulty ofthe pas
sage, Capt. Young succeeded in trav.
ersing the entire length Of Barrows
Straits, making the passage in good
time. The Pandora's progress was
then impeded by . dense and binding

be held in Oregon and Colorado, the
first to fill the Congressional vacancy
caused by the death or La Dow, and
the second for Constitutional Conven

The last election of the month is in
Missouri, on the 30th, and is for the
adoption of a new constitution. Kan

year, the election there occurring De-
cember It'll. New York and Pennsyl-
vanis are, of course, the most import
ant as foreshadowing the probable re-
suit of the presidential election in 1876,
and to that end will elicit a great deal ol
interest throughout the country. Tt
what extent these great States will be
influenced by the result of the late
election in Ohio remains to be seen
but we have q notion that the former
will go overwhelmingly Democratic
while in the latter the Republicans will
barely save their bacon.

Talk Of RemOvaI-The Vacant Sec

CHICAGO, Oct. Is.
A Washington special says the Sun
day Herald announces that II has reason
tn believe that General Humphreys,
Chiei Engineer, will soon be retired
and be succeeded either by General
Park or General BabcOck. Such a
change, however, Is not expected at
present among officers OF DUTY here.
There is still nothing definite about
the new Secretary of the Inferior. The
report tLat ex-senator Chandler IL to
receive the place is utterly discredited.
The fact that Senator Cameron and
Representative Parker, of Pennsyl-
vania, arrived yesterday and were in
conversation with the Postmaster Cen
eral and other prominent officers in
duced the belief that they are here To
%iufnenre the appointment in favor OF
