GETTING ON.


New ORLEANS, December 26-Chairman
Howe, Of the Senate committee, named
Senators Wsdleigh, Mcmillan and Melon
aid a. . subcommittee to take the testi-
mony of Eliza Pinkston.
Mr.. Mcdonald submitted an order that
the returning board be directed to furnish
certified copies of the consolidated state
ments Of the votes, statements of supervi-
sors of registration, and statements of poi Is
not returned BY the supervisors Of registra-
ton of the various parishes and polls, As
the committee had no information what
ever in regard to the polls and votes reject
ed BY the supervisors.
Chairman Howe said that while he was
opposed TO embarrassing the board at the
present time, he would assure the minority
that everything essential to getting at the
true facts in the investigation would be
cheerfully granted. The question, there
fore, was again postponed.
Mr.. Mcdonald wanted Col. Patton,
chairman OF the Dem ,crat state executive
committee, to rebuff the evidence in reference
to his famous circular, and he was called
and testified. The question of permitting
the witness to testify in regard to the gen.
eral conduct of the campaign, was di-cu
ed at considerable length. The chairman
thought the testimony, at present should
simply be confined to the rebuttsl Of the
circular issued BY him.
TROUBLE IN CANT.

Orion was called, and not appearing, Chair
man Morrison read . communication from

mirfee communicate to the House the fail

the Western Union Telegraph Company TO

advantages to be gained by them, is clear

Railroad Progress.

The time is near at hand when the
gap in the railroad between this city
and San Francisco, will be SO insig-
nificent that the stages will traverse
it in few hours. One year ago the
company fixed on the Fourth of next
July as the day on which they would
give us continuous rail to the me-
tropolis, and the indications now are
that they will redeem their promise.
Within the next ten days tunnel No.
5, in Tehachape Pass, will be compile
ted. This tunnel has been the bar to
progress in track laying for some time.
The other tunnels and the road bed
through the pass are ready..for the ties
and iron, and in fortnight the work
of track laying will go forward at the
rate of two or three miles per day.
Once through the pass, the country
for long distance is level, and but
little work is necessary to prepare the
bed for the ties and rails. In Solidad
Pass every available grader is at work
and before the track reaches that pass
the grading will be completed. 1t is
safe to say that by the middle of May
the road will be completed to the
Northeastern end of San Fernando
tunnel. 1t is now being operated
from this city to the Southwestern
end. Thus it will be seen that before
two months have elapsed the gap be-
tween the two ends of the road will
not exceed two or three miles. The
Superintendent of the San Fernando
tunnel is confident he will have it
completed by the first of July. The
company have now at Caliente, and
enroute to that place, rails and ties
sufficient to build one hundred and
twenty-five miles of road-the num-
ber of miles to build to close the gap
is one hundred and twenty-four.
Meanwhile the Southern Pacific track
East of this city is stretching toward
the Colorado. The cars are running to
Whitewater station in the desert
one hundred and fifteen miles from
this city, and soon another section of
twenty miles will be completed be-
yond that point. 1t is the purpose of
the company to have the road finished
and in operation to the Colorado river
by Fall. They will not stop there, but
will push on Eastward until a connec-
tion is made with some road running
Westward. This is favorable show.

him of the crime and gave him their
reasons. Every incident connected
with it pointed directly towards him.
They talked to him for three hours and
told him he had not been robbed, but
was the culprit himself. He listened

hours without making any reply than

himself repeatedly in the face and on
the head with his clenched fist, which
produced the marks that were reported
as have been made with q sand-bag.
The money was all found with the ex-
ception of $40. He said he had no ac

ed and gave bond in the sum of SIS 900.

There we're 7,740 failures In the Uni

liabilities were $2Ol ,0O0,3 1853. This is
nearly treble the failures in 1871, and
1000 more than in 1874.

Advancing Backward.

AS might have been expected, the
Erp1 eSs is endeavoring to escape the
self stultifying position in which it
has placed itself on the fraudulent IT,
tie question, by initiating the peculiar
movement of the crawfish when it ad-
vances backward with its tail ahead.
1t now attempts to dodge the issue by
writing long homilies on the injury
which will be worked on innocent pur-
chasers through setting aside of the
patents issued by the Government to
such grants as the Lomos de Santiago
To those who have read the opinion of
Secretary CHANDLER, the transpar-
ency of this position is so apparent as
| to need neither comment or explana-
tion. The Secretary explicitly says
| that the evidence is conclusive that
| the present owners OF the land were
aware of the fraudulent means by
which the grant had been increased in
area when they became its purchasers.
He then proceeds to advise that in the
setting aside of patents known to have
been obtained by fraud, care should be
taken not to trespass on the rights Of
innocent purchasers. This disposesof
the rodomontade in Senator JONES
elephant, on those who have purchased
parts of the grants in good faith and
without knowledge that the
patents had been obtained through
representations not sustained by the
facts. In the opinion of the Secretary
no man who is an innocent purchaser
of farm in the Lomos de Santiago,
or any other grant, should be dis
| turbed. The innocent purchasers
plea is perhaps made in the interest of
Senator JONES, but the fact that at
the opening of the lot sale in Santa
Monica the agent of the company an
nounced that they would not give pur-
chasers q warrant and defend deed,
is indicative that Mr.. JONES became
part owner of Santa Monica and San
| Vicente ranches with the full knowl-
edge that the titles were clouded and
that, sooner or later, they would come
up for settlement. We will also re-
mind our cotemporary that in IS spe-
cial pleadings it has overlooked the
fact that the dispute about the title to
| Io,J. ;. . ,.hi,b ifo Yoocfor ic iptaract
ed is not one in which the government
is concerned. 1t is question in which
only private parties are contestants,
and is as dissimilar from tie case of
the Lomas de Santiago as the Express
is unlike an intelligent and respecta-
BILE newspaper. When we get down
to the substratum of the question we
find that it is only those who are hold
ing land to which they know their
title is not good who are crying out
against investigation. The argument
of the JONES founding that though a
grant may have been originally void,
and the boundaries extended from
four to eleven leagues, it should not
now be disturbed, is similar to that of
a Police Court shyster who, after hav
ing received the stolen goods as a fee,
sets up plea of not guilty and main
tains the innocence of his client. 1t
is an exhibition of moral turpitude
that disgusts all right.minded men.
