The selection Of Nh. Matthews, coIoreu man,
as one of the New-York alternates at-large to the
Democratic National Convention makes great
impression upon The Albany Argus" 1t re-
marks that the selection marks epoch in poll
ties Well, perhaps it does. 1t certainly Is
novel to see the Democratic party treating the
coored man with respect-even the much-modifed
respect implied by an election as alternate-at-
large.

Referring to Senator Shermans bill to erect a
monument to the memory Of George Rogers Clark,
in recognition Of his services in the conquest and
occupation Of the Northwestern Territory during
the Revolution The Tines with ponderous
plee remarks that no such Clark is known to fame.
and ntimates that the Senator from Ohio ought to
take an immediate course in the history and ge-
ography Of his country. 1t is perhaps natural
that The Times" should not consider any explor-
| ing enterprise worth mentioning which did not
include the bestowal of the name of Jones upon

which a vast quantity of mud is con-
stantIy discharged but some of its

that all the cyclopaedias and histories be con-
suited at the Astor Library, if they are DESTROYS
to refresh their memories as to the remarkable
exploits of remarkable man. If they consult any
authority except The Times" they will find that
General Clark's great, valorous and persevering
expedition against the ancient settlements about
Kaskaskia and Post Vincennes has been described
as without parallel in the early annals OF the
valley Of the Mississippi" ; that he composed his
memoirs at the united desire Of Presidents
Jefferson and Madison" and that in relieving him
of his command Governor Harrison. Of Virginia,
wrote to him as follows: Il feel myself called

great and singular services You have rendered your

territory out Of the hands Of the British enemy,
repelling the attacks of their savage allies and
carrying on o successful war in the heart of their

The annual inventory OF the Southern
Pacifc's stock on the Atlantic system,
from New Orleans to Ell Paso, is being
.ken. This means a great deal of work,
as every engine, car and piece OF ma
terial has to be accounted for, and this
generally occupies about month.
Large shipments Of wool are being
made from California to the East, and in
the northern part of the coast the Cana
dian Pacific is obtaining good deal Of
the business. They are running the
freight through farther than the other
lines and have also made cuts of from
IL to 25 cents over the existing rates.

Tracklaying to be Commenced to
the Mission Road.
Four cars of rails for the San Gabriel
Valley Rapid Transit Road have ar
rived, and the others are reported en-
route and likely to be here in the course
of few days. A gang of men will be at
once set to work laying them down be-
tween Ramona and the Mission Road,
and it is possible that the line will be
completed to the last-named point inside
of two weeks. Two miles of track have
already been laid this side of Ramona,
leaving five miles yet to be done to the
Mission Road, and as the grading is done,
there will be no delays to speak of. The
operating of the line between Ramona
and Monrovia is turning out satisfactor-
lily to the directors of the enterprise and
travel will of course, be greatly increased
when the line is completed into the heart
of this city at Also street, it's southern
terminus. Three new passenger coaches
for the line arrived over the Southern
Pacific yesterday and were dispatched at
once to Ramona, where they will be
added to the rolling-stock of the road.

DEFECTIVE GRADING.
Complaint Entered by Mr. III
Mcclellan.

A Complaint Entered by Mr. HI.
Mcclellan.
Mr.. H. Mcclellan has called the atten-
ton of the City Council to the fact that
the grading of that part of West Wash
ington street between Cherry and Oak,
in front of his property, has not been
done according to specifications. Suffi-
cient material has not been put on the
street, or possibly in some places too
much has been taken off. ''The street
in front of the lots is so much below the
established grade, and the grade OF the
street further west that the chronic
eruptions of that damp nuisance with
not much accent on the "p'') the Wash
ington street zanja, leave an unorna-
mental and exceedingly undesirable lake
| two hundred or more feet long in front OF
said lots. The depression is not caused
by said overfows. 1t was apparent to
the naked eye when the grading was
| first finished, SO to speak, and acknowl-
edged by the contractors affable super.
| intendent, who has been more liberal
with his promises than With his gravel.
Your petitioner will not expatiate upon
his grievance in this case but begs that
| you will cause the shortcoming OF the
contractor to be rectifed and the street
brought up to the grade"

From East To West.

There is said to be no doubt at all but
that the Santa Fe' is endeavoring to
make some arrangement by which it
can obtain direct communication with
the Atlantic seaboard, and the latest
proposition appears to be to get posses
sion of the Ohio, Indiana and Western
as an end toward that purpose. With
one arm on the Atlantic and another on
the Pacific, and its vast system Of in
ternal feeders, the Atchison bids fair tc
claim some day the railroad suprem-
acy of the United States.
