be increased to 5000 by returns from
the remaining counties. The vote will
be about l6j, 900 less than last year and
10000 less than in 1876. In three

To which the commissioner replies
that no one has a right TO make such

letter are circulars sent cut by the
swindlers claiming compensation for

CoNKLING and his friends must be
amused at the complaint Of Sherman
and Evarts that they had to do the
work of electing Cornell, while the
imperious Senator rolled himself up in
his magnifcence and did nothing.
They may well laugh, knowing that
the shotgun hero did much, and did
it in a way to make his triumph over
the fraudulent administration com.
plete and perfect in their qualification.
He forced the nomination of Cornell,
whom the administration repudiated
and degraded, and then lashed them
into harness with the Tammany chief
to secure his election, while he stood
back in gleeful inactivity to witness
their humility.

BELLEFONTE, PA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1879

BY the election Of Waldo Hutch
ins, Democrat in the West Chester
District, New York, vacant by the
death of Smith, Republican, the roll
Of the popular branch Of Congress is
now complete, and gives a close ma
jority Of three over the combined vote
of the Republicans and Greenbackers.
The disintegration of the Grcenback
party as an organization is so entire
that the members elected by that
party will probably seek their old af.
iiliations in the Democratic and Re
publican ranks. This will probably
increase the working majority Of the
Democrats in the House to ] or II.

The death of Senator Chandler Gre
ates vacancy in the Craftsmanship of
the Republican National Executive
Committee which will probably be
difficult to fill satisfactorily to the va

is said, favors the appointment of his
man Cornell, the Governor elect of
New York. This selection is obnox-
ious to Sherman, and viewed with any
thing but eomplacency by Blaine.
But the shotgun hero's lash is potent
against Sherman, and Blaine may not
desire to encounter it.

RAILROAD PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Prom the Yuma Sentinel of Jan. athl

Work was, in fact, commenced Novem- Der 18th, but the main force of graders did
 not arrive until November goth and 2lsr. During the week ending November 23d four miles had been laid, and fair begin ming made at organizing. During the 32 working days following the latter date there
 have been constructed twenty-segen miles of road, over the most difficult part of the whole route between Yuma and Tucson. Just behind old Mission Camp the train crossed ,hIce temporary bridges of crib work. fiauked by heavy fills; two of these are POS feet long, each, and nearly fifteen feet high The road cuts through the south end of the corral at New Mission Camp. At Rattlesnake Hill it goes over long fill of some 24,OOO cubic yards; this big work was done in three days, and it's rapid com p!etion reflects great credit on Chief Stro- bridges skill in hanGli1g his forces. As fur as New MiSs3on the train had gone care fully. From there to town the track had been balasted, and Mr. Martin let her Out;' on some tangents, attaining a speed of over twenty miles an hour. SiIting on top of a boX-car we experienced little jolting and found no difficulty in writicg with q pencil Between Rattlesnake and Descanso the road is an unusually crooked one, curve following curve in constant succession, and giving our long train of thirty five cars the appearance of q huge serpent gliding through the low hills. About three miles oast Of the old Oroville ruin we came up to the ple-drivcr and its gang of carpenters, which is replacing temporary crib-work with substantial bridges whose tlaring and sloping ends are heavily planked. From there to Yuma the bridging had all been finished The pilc-driver train runs down to its side track at Oroyille, to let the sup ply train pass.
 Al Gila City station the road passes just to the north of the corral. Here we passed DOnahee's gang of carpenters and the Chi nesc gang that puts the final touches on the road. Along here we could note the shat teIing effects of heavy blasts of powder, 300 to 400 pounds having been frequently used in a singie charge to break up the tough cement of the hills. Nearing Yuma we were surprised a, the accumulation of ma terial made at ;he yard during the past month. Further inquiry developed the fact that some 100000 ties and twelve miles of rails have been gathered here, besides sup plying all demands of construction.
 The run to Yuma was made in one hour and forty minutes including delays caused by waiting for the pile drlvcr train to get out of our way. and by picking up lot of empty flats winch had gone out loaded with bridge timbers.
 The rapid progr5ss made over the difficult country between here and Gila justifles Col. Strobridge's assertion that he can, if re- quircd, lay the track over the comparatively easy country between Gila and Maricopa Wells by April lsi, with his present force. He does not now expect Co consume over four months in doing that, in any event.
