The Last Rail Laid.

SAN Francisco, September 5-The
last rail of that portion Of the Southern
Pacific railroad connecting this city with
Los Angeles was laid this afternoon at
Lang's station, forty-Lwo miles from Los
Angeles, in the presence of large con-
course OF spectators, including aparty OF
prominent railroad men, city officials,
capitalists, journalists, etc. A force OF 1000
lsborers were present who laid the last
one thousand teet of the track in five
minutes. Chas. Crockett, president Of
the Southern Pacific, completed the work
by driving a golden spike with silver
hammer, presented by the city OF Los
Angeles. At the conclusion of the cere-
monies, the party continued the journey
to Los Ang elos, where they will he enter

VERMONT ELECTION.

The state election took place in Yer
mont, yesterday. The canvass had been
very thorough on the part of the Repu9.
licans, to arouse their party spirit and
bring out their full vote. 1t being n
strongly Republican state, and the DEM
ocrsts having no hopes of accomplishing
any good by canvass, they let it go by
default. In 1872, the last Presidential year,
the Vermont vote stood, fer GRANT, A.
4sl; GREELEY, 1892; Republican
majority, sO,554. In 1874, two years
later, with light vote, the Republicans
cast 81, ,5s2 to the Democrats lS,257. The
Republican majority that year was
20,325.
This being q Presidential year, the
Republican majority in Vermont should
be at least $4,000. II, at the election yes
terday, the Republican majority fell be-
low 10000, it Is q straw pointing to a
better and purer government and the
coming of TILDEN; otherwise, the vote
in Vermont will possess no significance.

HAYES is really unhappy. He is like
the ass between two bundles OF straw.
GRANT and Grantism on the one side,
ScRURz and the reformers on the other.
He wants to be happy with both dear
charmers, but they are so jealous as not
to harken to such a thought. First he
tickled the ScHURz followers by with
holding all personal mention of GRANT
in his letter of acceptance. Then he
made himself solid with that great
man by writing him. note
declaring the omission OF prepoe-
ferrous blunder, and telling him
what great and good soldier he was.
GRANT was placated by HAYES "frank
and manly letter (all HAYES letters are
"frank and manly') and invited him and
Mrs. H. to spend few days in the presi-
dents cottage at Long Branch. The
guileless HAYS accepted, but the "re-
formers" got about him with dolefui
pictures of the effect upon the canvass OF
such visit, and he was compelled to in
form the president that an unexpected
press of public business forced him to re-
consider his purpose.

Little Wholesome Advice.

From the Writ County Mentor.
We have this advice for the city OF
Wheeling. Ii you cannot send any bet
ter men than one.hslt of the Ohio dele
CATION that was At the Parkersburg Con-
vention, you had better keep that hal. at
home The idea Of persons calling them
selves men, bringing their little private
quarrels into q political body, ana trying
to engender bad feeling for some little
petty, personal spite, was nearly un bear
able, and from what We saw and heard,
it will not do to repeat it again. There
are four or five members of that clan,
who, when they wake up in the middle of
q sermon, have to resolve something
about Burdett, and are utterly unable
to think, talk, or write about any
thing else. If you have anything
against these men since they
have been turned out of office, go
and tell them so and not talk about
them one hundred miles away. That
miserable attack, too, on Lewis Baker
ought to have made even those men
blush. On and after this date, settle your
difficulties between yourselves like men.
If il was not for these men Wheeling
would have more friends. Give them
seats or you will rue it.

Special to the Register.
The dispatch to the Intelli9eneer

the Joint discussion between Generals
Mathews and Gof, it is the opinion OF
every candid man that Mathews came out
decidedly the best Goti dealt largely in
denunciation and bitter personalities; but
his vtuperation was overdone. Mathews
speech was able, dignifed. and telling
1t is universally commended.
The purchase by Gotf of Wotfinden's
old type and press, with the corruption

THINGS AT WESTON.

From the tenor of our dispatch from
Weston signed "W," which does not
mean WorFINDEN, we judge the Demo
Gratis of Lewis are not particularly dis
mayed at GoFF's purchase. There are
plenty of unpurchas'able Democrats in
Lewis-Democrats from principle, Demo-
Gratis from conviction-whose devotion
to the party cannot be swerved by threats
or cooled by bribes; but there are
others in that county who have
worn the livery OF the Democracy for
the purpose of betrsying it. They have
been chronic disorgsnizers, and chronic
place seekers. To them We say, "Go in
peace. You can do us lees harm Ms
ayowed enemies than rs pretended
friends"
We have not yet seen the Weston
Democrat under its new management,
so we are unable 10 say at this writing
what reason the late editor gives eor the
sale.
S.-Since the above Was in type, the
Weston Democrat has reached us. Inc
editor seems 10 think that his hauling
down the Democratic flag and hosting
the flag of Rsdicslism may be thought to
be 3 mercensry move. Why did he
think so2
1T will no doubt be stated by unscru-
pulous persons, that our change OF
base in regard TO politics, is mercen-
AIRY movement. If any one says so to
you, reader, please state TO them for us
that they LIE. We have fought hard
for what We believed TO be right; and
now that we find we are in error, we
cheerfully hang our gate on the other
post. A WISE man sometimes changes
his opinions, but fool-neverr'
