The Mexican Railroads.&c. the regular
meeting of the Engineers Club of Philadel-
phia. April 18th. Mr.. Coleman Sellers, jr,
read a paper on the history of the constitute
ton of the Mexican Il Vera Cruz railroad,
illustrating his remarks with numerous pho
torraphs and mans obtained during recent
trip to the country of the Montezumas. AS
eally MS 1887 the project was orosehed, ana
from that time until it WAS finally opened, in
1878. bv President Lerdo, the road suffered
an alienation of success and defeats. Dur
ing its progress forty different Presidents ana
one Emperor governed our unfortunate
neighbor, and each government hnd IN turn
10 be won over to the friends of inns enter
prise, and that in spite ola powerful opposl
ton from various classes OF the community
Not only were these difficulties surmounled,
but those offered by the climate and the
natural obstacles of the route W re likewise
overcome. At length, after years OF labor
and the expenditure of millions of money me
road is now AN established success, anu IS
to-dsy,one of the grandest specimens OF en-
gineerng the world can show. The road Is
260 miles long, is laid with steel rails, IS
thoroughly equipped with engines and roll
ing stock, has fine iron bridges, substantial
stone stations, and all tunnels, masonry, &c,
are of the best charac ter. The grades and
curves are numerous and excessive. The
highest point of the road is 5000 #. above
the sea. 1t ascends $500 fl. in 60 miles and
in one case climbs 1000 Il. in 10 miles. The
City of Mexico itself is 1900 #. above the
sea, or nearly one half times as high %
Mount Washington. 'The read was built
principally by English capital. but Is granted
concession By the Ae2ican government

Pennsylvania Democratic Convene
ton.

thllh tlpAl I lltlts.
When the late Democratic convention is
stripped of its disgracefu surroundings. and
its legitimate work inquired INTO, it furnishes
"A significant lesson to 10Th leaders and toll
lowers. la lesson to leaders is that great
political party has other uses than ms foot
ball to be kicked from post 10 pillar by lndi'
yldual ambition, and its lesson to followers
is that their vocation MS soldiers of faction is
about euded. We have seen scores CLASH
fcntions of the delegation to Cincinnati, fg-
uring it out any way from tw-thirds against
Tlden and Randall to twothirds against
Hancock and Wallace. OF course, Senator
Wallace and Speaker Randall commit no
such lVny for they have benin the shock ct
bsttla. and they both find comfort in peace.
They both know that the delegation to the
National Convention is neither u Wallace,
Randall, TilGen or Hancock delegation, nnd
they sr4 both quite content that 1t Shou be
lust rs it is. 1t is not for lilden; II never Will
be for Tilden, ami they botn know II. II is
not for Hancock; it will never be for Han
cock unless Tilden shall favor the PennsN Iva
MIN soldier, and they both SO understand II 1t
is AS nearly an independent deegaticn, outside
of Philadelphis. ms is possible these days, and
nearly or quite all Of them would support
either Wallace or Randall in anything that is
inst. The unit rule has been discarded mainly
because the Tildeu men, who could not con
troll the delegation, joined the arge cla's VINO
aid not want rillen or ANY one else 10 direct
the vote of the State; and both Wallace
and Randall would be more TIM" mortals or
politicians if they had no. been ready to Re-
verse their positions for or against the umt
rule AS aoliti al interests dictated. The de-
feat pf the unit rule was defeat of Wal
,acA's claim to command the solid del, CATION
hy the presumed control Of majority, and
Rnndalrs assault upon and defeat of the ru q
was CONCESSION Of the failure of bis candi-
date To attain the favor OF n majority of the
delegates. The unit rule, in the Democratic
as well rs in the Republican, party of Penn
svlvania. is always favored by the side tnat
has filth in its majority. and II is us UNI
formlv opposed 10y the majority.
The result of the general peace pohcy
adopted at Harrisburg will be felt beyond
the reorganization of the jarrng Democratic
factions in this city and the end of the So
called Wallace Randall war and both sides
will likely be surprised at CINCINNATI to learn
that the unit rule is of little practical inn
portance. After all the wrangling over III
den and Hancock and Bayard, Pennsylvania
will probably vits MS unit in the end for
the man who will be nominated. AS the
delegates are not coerced into this voting,
they will all feel inclined to acknowledge the
force of the reasons in favor OF the rule I'M
der an honest direction, by striving to make
the vote of the State unanimous on all I'M
portant issues.

veut;op. The Sentinel supports the
nomination, and as the press of the
State is almost unanimous in the opln'
ion that Ration Rouge is the best place
70 hold said convention, we farther sus-
gest that lie lie authorized to call tAe
for Monday, September Goth, at the place
Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.
Our Baton Rouge contemporaries can
nut the Chief down on the list OF papers
favorable to the holding of press con-
yeution at the Highland City on the first
Monday of Observation-Disclosures
Some years ago we were foremost IN
advocating Convention of the Press
OF Louisiana, and to that end named a
Press Committee of the New Orleans
press, the Times Democrat and Bee, we
think, whose duty it was to call q State
Press Convention. Now that thesubJect
is again being agitated we cordially
approve it. We would, however, sug-
oest the formation of Committee OF
papers, two from New CLEANS, and two
from the country, they to select third,
which Committee will have authority to
name the times and select the place tor
holding the Convention. We nominate
the Times and Bee; of New Orleans, the
C.r1roLIAN, off Baton Rouge, and the
chief, of Donaldsonville, as the Com
Observation-Disclosures Vindicater
Just now every paper in the State has
something to say abuta Press Conven-
tion. Our contemporaries argue that a
general mass meeting Of the lnk-slins-
ers of Louisiana would result in much
good, both to the people aud the press
The interchange and exchange OF
thought and sentiment would rebound
to the welfare of the generalpubl1c, and
place the newspapers-the mouth-pieces
of the people-upon more solid and
paving foundation. We like the propo
sition, and are confident that, IT
thorough organization is perfecfet
by the press of this State, it vii
be of vast interest to the entire craft
One question which seems to perple,
the press most, is where shall the wis
dom H) ofLouisiana meet. Every fellow
wants the convention to assemble IN III
own burg-we suppose for reasons whic'
are based upon the depleted condition
OF his .book-but our choice
the Captal of the State. Baton Roug
is accessible and as central prominent
poipt as we could select. Let's hav
the convention, and let's have it a
