preliminary survey OF the 2. and f. rail
road. after q little over three weeks close
work, arrived at this place on yesterday
Notwithstanding the extreme heat to which
they have been exposed, they have steadily
prosecuted the work without regard to

u o'clock they arrived at the turnpike Just
north of the town, where fer the present the
survey will be stopped. They report the
route highly practicable one, and the
length OF their survey about thirty-one
miles, which can be reduced to twenty-nlne
miles in locating the road. The deepest cut
necessary to be made will be about fourteen
feet, and the heaviest grade to be overcome
about three feet.
Captain Hale, the president Of the road,
has been with the party much OF the time
occupied in the survey, and is pleased with
the practicability OF the route, and sanguine
as to the ability OF the company to put the
road to contract in short time and com

National Liberals concede the loss OF flf-

manner,

The Independent Greenbaekers of
Linn county said they intended to put
men on their ticket who were unknown
in the political arena Well, they have
done it. In point-cf.fact, with the ex-
cepti0n of Hendrix and Crooks there
seemed to be woful ignorance even
among the delegates us to the character,
whereabouts or previous political pro-
clivities of their nominees. As names
were proposed for nomination, the whole
Convention seemed to be perfect sea
Of interrogation points, as to his age,
occupation, and at what particular mile
post his local habitation was situated.
For eminent ''unknownness" the ma
jority of that ticket is a success.
But when we come to the gable end
of the ticket-the two State Senatorial
sacri6ces-the very reverse is the case.
''Not to know them argues yourself un-
known" DIR. Hendrix was our Demo-
cratic nominee for State Senator four
years ago, aud eanvassed the county,
but was defeated. His record and his
political adherents were not sufficiently
strong to save him from the fate Of the
unfortunate aspirant, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the editor of the DEM
ocRAr and many other members of the
party made it a specially to try to ''save
his bacon" at that time, he was counted
out since which time, as to his politi-
cal record deponent saith not.
Mr. Crooks, like DIR. Hendrix, is
well known especially To the Demo
cratic party, which has honored him
''nlany time and oft" with its suf-
frages. In fact it is difficult for the
Oldest inhabitant to tell when '' Uncle
Johnny Crooks" was not before the
Linn County Democratic Convention
for some position or other And he
generally got it. And he ran well up
with the ticket and was always elect
ed. The measure of his gratitude to
the party which has thus honored him
is now iittingly illustrated by his pres
ent apOstaey,
We have nothing to say against either
Of the men of whom we have spoken in
this article. We leave the people to
judge of their motives and of their sim
eerity. Perhaps the ides of June may
better illustrate the confidence of the
public in their professed patriotism and
honesty than anything we might at
present advance.
