A One-Rail Railroad in California-The
Trial Trip.

Yesterday the steamer Sonoma con-
veyed to Norfolk, on Sonoma creek,
number of our prominent citizens, who
assembled to witness the opening of the
Prismoidal railroad. The road COM
mences at Norfolk, on Sonoma creek,
and extends three and half miles to-
ward Sonoma. The steamer arrived in
good season at Norfolk, ON Sonoma
creek, the terminus Of the Sonoma Val
ley Prismoidal- railroad, where the par
ty landed and at once proceeded to in
spect the line and the works generally
The Prismoidal railroad is laid upon a
prism of wood built of beveled boards,
forming continuous prism twenty
seven inches wide at the base and fif-
teen inches high, with the single rail
laid on the top. The car which travels
on the line is supported by two wheels,
one at the front and the other at the
rear, with independent revolving fan
ges. On arrival, the first thing to be
done was to test the road, and in few
minutes two platform cars, with a pris-
modal railway locomotive between
them, were at the stations. The locomo-
tive Is the first of its kind ever construc-
ted in this State, and was built under
the superintendenceof of George w. Fogg,
of the Pacific Iron Works. The party
took their places on seats which were
arranged on each side Of the cars, the
passengers being face to face. The first
impression suggested was that which
ordinarily fills the bosom of the novice
who makes his maiden effort to ride the
uncertain bycicle. A certain assurance
that the whole thing would topple over
at the first movement, was the general
belief of the uninitiated. But the en-
gineer sounded the whistle, the passen-
gers gave their tremulous cheer, and
the train moved off smoothly, and soon
the pace was considerably augmented.
Wonderful to relate, the oscillation was
scarcely perceptible, and the locomotive
and cars rode the single rail as firmly as
the trains on the broadest of
English solidly constructed broad
| gauges. The faster the train proceed

pathees.
A Washington dispatch says: Sec
retary Chandler laughs at the idea that
the Democrats can make anything out
of his kilograms, as chairman of the
National Republican committee; he
says he has not the slightest objection
to the examination of every one of
them. He has always regarded the tele-
graph as an affair that no prudent man
would commit secret to- A dispatch,
he says, is no more private than pos
tai card; operators may read in transit,
and persons, not in the employ of the
telegraph company, may listen to the
click of instruments, and, knowing
telegraphic language, may get posses
sion of messages. He was careful dur
ing the whole of the campaign to trust
nothing to the wires which he was not
willing the Democrats should see, know.
ing that they would probably steal his
dispatches.

How Far OF the Sun is.

Light, which travels with amazing
velocity, requires eight minutes to
reach the earth. Sound would require
fourteen years to travel from the sun
to the earth, SO that if we saw an ex-
plosion at its surface, it would be four
teen years before we could hear it. But
if we could place rod of iron from the
earth to the sun, and then strike it
with a hammer on one end, the sound
would reach the opposite end in about
eleven months. But perhaps the most
singular illustration of the SUMS dis
tance was drawn from human economy.
Sensation took a certain time to travel
to the nerve centers; and if we could
imagine human infant with an arm
long enough to reach the sun, it would
take $50 years for the sensation to
reach him after burning his fingers; in
other words, he would be dead several
years before the sensation of burning
could reach him. The SUMS distance il
SO inconceivable that it was only by
making such comparisons we could form
any idea of it at all. Report of Prof
Young's Lecture.

The Indiana Rebels,

The n. Y. Tribune of the 18th inst.
has the following Washington telegram:
The sudden departure of Morton
from this city is generally accepted on
the theory that the administration be-
lieves it important he should personally
ascertain the object of the Democratic
movements in his own state, and wheth-
er its purpose is simply to arouse public
opinion in favor of the Inauguration of
Tilden, or is in reality military in its
character If the latter be found to be
on foot, it is supposed that the admin
istration would consider it desirable to
provide for counter organizations and
thus to meet it on its own ground.
1t is said in high administration cir
cles that collection of munitions of
war, fourth in size in the country, is
stored at indianapolis, and in view of
the mass meetings which Democrats
have called there and at other points in
the state, and the suspicion that they
may not be entirely peaceable in their
purpose, it was termed by the president
and cabinet as highly important that
measures be taken to prevent them in
case any emergency shonld arise. The
chairman of the national Democratic
committee denies all knowledge of mill
tary organizations.
The Democratic members from the
north are divided in sentiment; a ma
jority under the lead of such men as
Fernando Wood and Randall, are dis
posed to adopt extreme measures, while
a minority led by calmer men like Hew-
lit, Scott, Lord and few others are
in accord with Republican representa-
tives in favor of conservative course,
Hewitt has repeatedly been accused of
sympathy with the ultra wing of the
northern Democrats, but in truth his
entire influence in all caucuses thus far
held and in his intercourse with fellow
members, has been in complete harmony
with the efforts of Lord, Hill and other
members for a peaceful solution of the
present difficulties.

ed, the smaller in number and extent
became the literal oscillations, beauti-
fully and practically exemplifying the
great principles of the whole prismoi-
dial system, that the greater the speed
the less liability to oseillate, a princi-
pie clearly demonstrated by the gyros-
cope and yelocipede. To those making
their first trip on the new railroad the
ease and comfort of this mode of trav-
cling suggested itself most strikingly.
The train was run out to the end of the
completed line, where forty-fve men
were found continuing the building of
the prism onward. The construction
of the road has cost, for the present
three miles and a half, including the
cost of the road-bed over the marsh,
about S4 500 mile, one-half the cost of
the narrow-gauge railroad, the most
economical of the two-rail system. The
road was commenced on the 10th of Au-
gust last by the building of the road
bed. San Francisco Examiner, of Dec.

The KEENAN, end of tho Chicago Times,
edited from Washington, ind the wal, nnd
"goah" departments Of that sheet which
KEENAN, buffers the old man" 10 run Mt
Chicago, have been in o state Of lofty exulta-
ton over tue decision OF the Supreme Court
of Florida which ordered recount OF tho
vote in that 8tate. How uttorly preposteroua
1t would bo TINT a State Court should order a
recount Of tho vote for Presidential Electors
now never once occurred to KEENAN, nor to
his BubordinateB. Tho Florida Electors, hav-
ing received their certificates Of election, cast
tho Electoral vote Of the State and made ro-
turn Of it to tho President of tho Senate
thus completing their duties, which
by law could bo dis charged only
upon day that is now past, and no
Court could by my possibility cast the voto
for them; and no Court presided over by any
Judge acquainted with the rullmenta Of Inv
would attempt to exercise such Jurisdiction.
And now, as might have becu expected, 1t
turns out the Florida Court did not atte,npt
to exercise such Jurisdiction. The decision
TINT KEENAN, and his subordinates Of tho
Times were going to enforce by 'wah and
"goah does not relate to the Electoral vote
nt oil, but is confined in its application to q
recount Of tho vote for Stato offlcora. Even
tho Florida Democrats, it appears, gave up
the contest Of the vote Of tho State for
HATES and went into court only to ask ro-
count on tho voto for State officials. There
will be no recount OF the vote for Presiden.
ttd Electors, nor Rttempt at 1t. II KEENAN,
aud tho "old man want "wah about it,
and ache to shed "goah to carry out tllat
decision, lot them 60 in. But 1t will not
bulldozo T11DEN into the White House.

Plans Of compromise and adjustment nro
just now as plenty rs blackbcrries in August.
Ono of The latest suggestions for stroighten-
ing-out the Electoral entaaglemont Is, that in
case objection is nade 10 any return while
tho President of the Senate is engaged in
counting the votes, he shall decide Is to the
validity Of tho rotnrn objected to. An ap.
roal baing h,ken from his decision, tie
House and Senate sllnll separately vo.o on
tho question Of sustaining or ovcrruling
The decision. sho'ld both agree In tho re-
versal of tho decision, that agreement shall
DO final, but If ono vote to s,,asain
and the other to override, then tho decision
itself shall stand. It is not hkoty that tho
Democrats would look with favor upon this
plan, sinco its effect would be, nftor all, to
surrender tho whole case to tho Republican
majority in tho Sonato. There aro at pres
cnt no indications that tho House will agreo
to my plan Of compromise that is not one
sided-that shnal give the House tho balanco
of power In the right to throw out the Elect
oral vote Of either OF the disputed States.
