/. Assplendid Railroad.

Auditor Miller, who has just return-
ed from the opening ceremonies Of the
Richmond & Allegheny Railroad, is
much impressed with the complete.
ness and importance Of this new
thoroughfare. He regards it as one
of the finest built and best equipped
railroads in the country. And yet,
| it has cost the company less to build
it than any other road Of the same
length in the South. Following the
canal, the grade was already made
and the bridges already constructed
of the most solid masonry, so that
there was little to be done but lay
the track.
The rolling stock is Of the very
latest pattern and special pride is
felt by the company IN making the
comfort of passengers more complete
than has yet been attained by any
modern railroad. Every car has a
stationary wash stand with towels
and soap, together with a porter
whose sole business is to look after
the convenience Of passengers, brush
ing their clothes, assisting ladies on
and off the trains, and otherwise at
tending to the wants Of travellers as
has heretofore been done only on the
Pullman cars. This is step in ad
vance that will be welcomed and APP
preciated by the patrons of the road.
| Col. Miller further says that the
lgfading Of the road will be completed
TO Point Pleasant, on the Ohio river,
by the first Of January next. The
company has already contracted for
the bridge over the river at that
point. The Central Ohio will then
be extended from Toledo to meet the
Richmond aud Allegheny at Point
Pleasant, only sixty miles Of road be-
ing required to make the connection.
With the completion Of these roads

Republicanism and Reputation
are one and the same thing in the
south. The administration aud
leaders Of the Republican party have
allied themselves with the Malone
Regulators of Virginia. They fur
nish funds and have assessed the Of
fice,holders to carry the Readjuster
ticket. If they succeed in Virginia,
they hope to carry the entire south
by reputation and the negro vote.
If they set this fire a going, where
will the conAagration end? Already
in Minnesota, that party has set the
example of Republication, without
pretext, palliation or excuse. How
long can honest men sustain such
leaders, and act with such party?
