THE COLORADO PACIFIC.
A Proposed Branch Road from Greeley
to Sherman, Connecting with the
Union Paeifc-Will 1t be
Built?

AS the bankrupt Denver Pacific, the
line of road between Denver and Chey-
enne, will shortly be offered for sale by
the trustees, movement is on foot here
to form syndicate with n view to its
purchase. and the utilization of that
part of the line between Denver and
Greeley, by way of the Cache-la- Poudre,
to point near Sherman, on tile main
line of the Union Pacific, and thence
along the Union Pacific right-of-way to
Ogden.
The project meets with great favor,
for the reason that in itself 1t has con-
siderable merit, and also because it will
give competing line for Pacific coast
business. 1t is meritorious in itself be-
cause Denver is now railroad centre,
| being the terminus of the Kansas Pa
cific, and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
and the construction of such line
would influenced the route Of the Burling-
ton & Missouri River road, of Nebraska,
and the Central branch, of Kansas.
These latter lines are now looking for
i ward to early extension westward, and
could they be sure of Pacific connec-
tion from Denver would, of course,
build to Denver. The distance from
Greeley to Ogdon is about five hundred
and fifty miles. Competent engineers,
familiar with the route, state that the
cost of construction and proper equip
ment of the line will not exceed 800, 900
per mile. This would give total cost
of say gil, ,0O0, 900, as against bonded
indebtedness on the Union Pacific be-
tween Cheyenne and Ogden of S25, 900,
600, or requiring an annual outlay for
interest of only 5000, 900, as against
81, 500, 900. 1t is said the scheme does
not lack the appreciation Of the Central
Pacific. at all events, there will be no
difficulty in raising the amount Of
money required to build the road; in
fact, capitalists are now eager for prom
ising railroad investments in the west.
This project, If perfected and carried
out, will work great revolution in the
value of the Union Pacific securities,
will be practically turning Of the ta.
bles on California business, and will
enable the Kansas Pacific and Burling
ton Il Missouri River, of Nebraska, t.
dictate many important reforms in The
transportation business across the con
tinent. 1t would also perfect the rail
road system Of Denver, and make it thu
great distributing point for the products
of the Pacific coast.
The name designated for the proposed
corporation is the Colorado Pacific. Th
, father Of the enterprise is supposed t
be Commodore G. X. Garrison, who |

Peruvian Corruption-Another Volcano.
Panama, Nov. Tn Peru two
cabinet ministers resigned during the
week, the principal Of whom was min
lister of finance. He was accused of
secretly leaving the representatives Of
the Henry Meigg estate $500, 900 in
nitrate certificates, upon which he had
allowed an issue of $500, 900 in billetes,
which amount had previously been re-
tired from circulation in order to be

Advices from Salvador state that the

has been silent for some years. For
miles around the ashes are falling and
the air is filed with smoke. darkening

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March u, i

WASHINGTON, D. c., March n, 1878
AS Senator Conkling has not fright
ened members Of the Administration
by his silence, nor Blaine terrified them
BY his indiscriminate noise, though the
latter must have amazed them as he
has every one else, a new departure
was lately determined on. Yesterday
Senator Howe attacked in detail every
act Of Mr.. Hayes since March 4, 1877.
Senator Howe is a man who, if he had
stayed in Maine, his native State,
would have been Judge Of Probate,
perhaps State Senator, and, in case Of
a party quarrel, might have got for one
term to the lower House Of Congress.
IF he had gone to his present State,
Wisconsin, at any time in the last fif-
teen years, his fate would have been
the same there as it would have been
il Maine. He emigrated at q fortu-
nate time for him, and the result is
that he has been the most conspicuous
man of his adopted State. His term AZ
Senator expires in March next. His
speech, in itself, can do no possible
harm to the Administration. It was
simply repetition Of what the Globe
Democrat, Of Missouri, the Trareler, Of
Boston, and the Wig, Of Bangor, Me-,
have been saying for year past, and
was not as effectively stated BY him as
by them.
If, however, he was put forward by
others, to find out at what point q
general attack will most likely have
effect, the case is different. Adler men
will avoid his mistakes and take ad-
vantage Of bis discoveries. Hamlin Is
said to have been the author Of the
new movement His trained political
eye saw that the Administration was
gaining day BY day among the people
by the failure Of its enemies to take the
offensive.
In executive session, yesterday, the
Senate rejected the nomination Of Hon.
Lewis E. Parsons, as US. District At
torney for Alabama. This was not a
party or an Administration fight.
| The Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs opposes the reduction Of ex-
penses, provided for by the House, in
the consular and diplomatic bill. It
remains to be seen whether the House
will stick Probably it will not.
The Texas delegation in the House, all
Democrats, had caucus the other
day BY themselves, and resolved
to oppose any reduction in the army.
Representatives Of other sections and
Of various interests are constantly in
terfering with well intended efforts in
the interest Of economy and reform. Il
we are to have success in the future, it
i seems to me that it is time there was
harmony in the party in the supports Of

DOWN THE PENINSULA.

NJ. Editor On Thursday, the
28th inst, Mr.. Kenny, the able and
efficient superintendent Of the ?. w.

50 successfully manages the Delaware
Division, accompanied by Messrs. Ma
honey, Smith and Tasker, Of the Della
ware and ?. w. & B. road, and B. /.
Biggs, President Of the @. A. & X.
road, took trip down the Peninsula.
They visited Centreville, the terminus
Of the @. A. & K. road, and thence,
via Townsend, proceeded to Seatord.
On arriving at Massey's the party
found the Windmill, which has recent
" been erected, pumping water in the
tank, with prospect Of doing its work
we'll.
The new granaries at Millington,
Sudlersville and Prices, are now com
pleted, and have a capacity Of storing
ten thousand bushels Of grain. There
has also been erected at Prices Sta
ton and Sudlersville, two neat and
convenient passenger depots. Several
new bridges have lately been put in
along the road all the old ones re-
paired, and the entire road improved,
50 that it is now in excellent working
order, and bids fair to enjoy still
brighter prospects.
Seldom are the wheat fields found
looking better, at this season Of the
year, than at the present. There is an
immense crop sown. One farmer near
Centreville, Mr.. McKenney, having in
over two thousand acres.
The party stopped at Millington !;
were received BY Messrs. Thos. MALTA
lieu and Sons, and by them Hospitality
entertained at dinner. These gentle
men are woollen manufacturers, near
this place, Mr.. Mallilieu having come
here in 1852. He thought it good
work to turn out ten thousand yards
the first year, but be now employs 22
men and manufactures about ten thou
sand yards a month. These goods are
celebrated for their durability all over
this country, and find a ready market
in any Of our cities. Messrs. Malla-
lieu q Sons have six hundred acres Of
land in a high state cf cultivation. At
Ter dinner their peach orchard Of six
thousand trees was visited The buds
we're found to be somewhat injured, but
a sufficient number left to yield fair
average crop.
At Dover, Manlove Hayes, Esq,
joined the party. He reported the
peach prospect near the water, east Of
Dover, to be almost universally de-
stroyed; but in the interior, although
the buds are badly damaged, as far as
could be ascertained, there is a pros
pect for fair crop. From the most
reliable information, peaches upon the
line Of the @. A. q K. R. R. bid fair
to yield an average crop. Although
the buds are unquestionably badly in
iured in some sections, yet if nothing
further happens to kill them, there
may be fair yield on the Peninsula.
