THE railway from Vera Cruz to the
City of Mexico is 267t miles long, has
eighteen lengthy tunnels and many fine
iron bridges. 1t cost forty million Mexi-
can dollars. 1t is considered the best
constructed railway in America. The
grades are 400 feet per mile. To surmount
them an English Farlie engine is used
which carries ten loaded cars with ease.
1t is double engine, or two engines
connected with their heads turned to-
gether, and thirty-inch drivers. AT Boca
del Monte the road-bed reaches its eleva-
ton which is $4,000 feet above the sea at
Vera Cruz. From there it gradually de-
clines through a continuation of broad
valleys to the City of Mexico. Thescenery
throughout the whole line is of the
grandest and most beautiful character.

The NATIONAL BANKs.-The Philadel-
phia Pres, in an article in its edition of
Tuesday, expresses great apprehensions
for the National Banks, because of the
proposition in Congress to substitute
greenback, or governme mt notes for the
bank notes, and thus deprive the banks
OF the interest on the bonds now owned
by them and held by the government,
and which would be taken up by the
greenbacks. 1t is altogether doubtful
whether enough votes could be got in
either House of Congress to effect this
object. But we have no doubt the oppo-
sition which the banks have made to sill
Yer remonetization has added to the
greenback party and the Press seems to
acknowledge this, while it concludes its
article with suggestions which we be-
heve should be given due consideration
by all those owning bank stock, for bank
stock, Of all other stock next to govern
ment, has been the most permanent and
interest-paying
"lt Is, perhaps, wise to say to our ma
tional banks that as long as they are
earning dividends quite as good as money
Will bring IN the market, they are foolish
to ask exemptions from Congress from
their burdens. Most OF our Eastern
banks pay too much rent, and are under
needlessly heavy expenses, They had
better retrench there before thev 20 to
the Government for new sources of
profit. If they have good reserves and
are earning current interest on their Ma
bilities, they would do well to shoulder
their burdens contentedly, and not call
attention to their prosperity by any haz-
ardous agitations. As they stand TODAY,
they are, on the whole, prosperous. but
only moderately so. They are as well of
as amy private or corporate interest in
the country. More than this, they are
organized on q plan that secures theil
Solvency and absolute confidence in
them. 1t is for their Interest to maintai n
this strong position. 1t would be a Dity
II they put i'll peril our existing admira
bic monetary system. 1t will be a shame
to break them down in ignorant jealousy

While thrifty colored men are getting
rich in Georgia, many of their brethren
in South Carolina are burning with the
Liberian fever. A few weeks ago train
load of them was poured out upon the
wharves of Charleston, where they
found no means of getting to the prom
ised land, but the faith of the pilgrims is
again revived by the statement that "a
bark has been bought in Boston to con-
yey them over the bounding pillows, and
is about to sail for Charleston with the
President of the Emigrant Society on
board. To the vivid imagination of tue
negroes who have been enlisted in the
movement, the Liberian colony is pic
tured as bright as Paradise, and many of
them confidently believe that the highest
type of earthly bliss is to be attai ned
there, along with the greatest freedom
from earthly ills. Still, no great num-
bers Of the colored race are likely ever
To emigrate across seas from the Soutnern
States, where their labor is in constant
demand in agricultural and other indus
tries. The rice coast Of South Carolina
and Georgia alone is a rich field where,
II the plantations are to be worked at all,
negro labor must hold an absolute mo-
nopoly for at least half a century. I'm
der the present system of drainage and
culture, these rice lands are the home of
| malaria which for six months in the
year is deadly to the white race, while
the peculiar constitution of the negroes
enables them TO live and work in it with
impunity. 1t is owing to this difference
OF constitution between the two races,
the planters having their residences on
the pine ridges or in the towns remote
from their plantations, while the negroes
have their quarters close to the malaria
clouded fields, apart from humanizing
Influences, that the negroes Of the South
Carolina coast are so far behind those of
the up country in civilization. The eff
fort that is expended in the Liberian
emigration scheme would be much better
directed toward the enlightenment of
these benighted people, TO make them
good citizens and industrious farmers
where they are.

GEN. BEN. BUTLRR's SPEECH in the

There was no class Of people so unpopu-

money-changers and their efforts to con-
troll Congress and destroy the use of sill
yer as money, as the agents of the bond
holders, has resulted in a feeling of dis

PITTsBUR0 DRUMMER DRIVES HIS TEAM

|rably unddr the influeIlce of fQaor, mis-
book his ropte and Drove his teem upon
the trestlo bridge of the Edenburg,
summit and -Clai1an Hailroal, ina this
side Of the Clarion river, supposing in to
be the wagon road. The trestle bridge is
sixty feet from the ground, and about the
same length, but the horses made the
crossing, feeling their way in the dark
ness, step by step, every foot striking a
tie securely, until the distance was ira
yessd and they stood in safety ON the
other side and just in the nick of time,
too, as the night express came thunder
ing by in five minutes after the drummer
and team had left the track. 1t is easy
to imagine the terrible catastrophe that
would have resulted had the train over
taken the horses and man on the bridge.
The watchman at the end of the trestle
halted the drummer as he drove off the
track, but was told to mind his own busi-
ness.
