A few week a rinco w noticed tho open inpjof the Ünion Paciic ftuilroad to Jdlc but;;, 377 miles west ! of Omahi, ""d wc now hove to report its comjdetion to Crow Creek, a point -IS miles further west, making a total of 425 miles. , Fifty miles of track iu addition are graded ready for the iron, aud thcro is no doubt of the com- ' I plction of the road to tho bnto of tho Kocky Mountains ca'y in tho Fall. The Company are confident that the whole lino to the Pucifio will bo open for, businens. in 1870. Tho Indians have annoyed tlo surveying parties and .tio-cuttera, who aro many hundred miles in advanco of the work; but they hava wholesome fear of the population that a railroad carries with it, sod all trains ruu without interruption. Vj t..., ...... f . , The business of the company has been most flattering. The carniops for the quarter ending August 1st, were about S'UüjOÜO; but os tiereport for tho. last week in July has not been, received, .the cxtict fraction cunnot bo given. Thoso earning accrued from operating an average of not more than ojO miles of road, arid after deducting operating expetm-s, the balauco is fur in -excess of tho interest obligations of the Company on the amount of bond they can iinuo on that distance. It should be remembered that this rcüulj i.i from a busine-s alone, through a rBew countryYanoMs not to be compared with the vast through business that must follow the opening of tho whole lino to the PttciCc. The success of the cntcrpriic scorns to be thoroughly toured, and we can pco bo reason why tho First Mortgage Dond are not entitled to rank among the best securities. The daily sales aro now ro lane, that the Company already entertain tho idea of odvnncing tho prico. Camp Meeting. A camp meeting at Sugar Govo, in Dcatborit County, is now in piogrcna. The Lawrcnccburyb livjistcr says of it: 'The iDsgtiificcnt forest of sugar trees is located in Miller. township, eight mite. from this city, and is a splendid drive from Harmon, Lttwreuceburgh, nnd the surrounding villages and country. A large number will gj from this city and remain during tho continuance of tho meeting, occupying comfortablo tents mado of lumber, and cooking their own victuils, as many others from tho country adjacent will do." At Action, in Decatur County, another camp meeting is being held. Tho (Jrecnsburgh Chronic! says of it: 4,Tho Camp Meeting at Action will -commence on Wednesday, August Ulli. Half furo tickets will bo sold at all stations between Lawroncoburgh und Indianapolis nnd on the Martitmvillo branch. Special trains will be run on Sunday from tJrocnsburgh, Martinsville and Indianapolis." And Yet Another Letter From Governor . Perry. Another letter from Govsrnor Perry of South Caroliua, -oppoMiig the Congressional method of iccot)siructiou,is published. Heading it, wo ore tempted to cry out: "How long, Ü Lord! how long!" Tho main portion of the letter is an attempt to provo that the negro is of an inferior raco, and therefore totally unfit for selfgovernment, ignoring tho fact that ho al ready occupies tho position mentioned. How easily Mr. Perry tuhlfios himtclf in his argument respecting tho capacity of tho ncro can bo seen in tho ono extract wo mako from his letter: In Liberia, where there ia a nstion of rtrgriioi, sent from the United State, and her they have formed a government, in; white man is allowed to hold otlico or vote at f n v SMf.tmn I'.tl n ,i 1 J I tt it him VUV.11U11 101 hut vi.uv j'tti 11 n ii , n m .

Ticknor and Fields hnvo issued tho initial number of Good Stories, under which title they propOt'O to publish, in cheap and attractive form, a vulu.-iblo collection of Short Stories, Talcs, nnd Sketches, Tho need of such a collection has long boon I'olt; for whilo numerous collections of poetry have been mado, no general repertory of good stories exists. It ii oot intended to limit this collection to KiilUli literature It will embrace, by competent translations, tho best and most charaotoristia short stories of all languages. Whilo having in view the idea of making this collection valuable as a repertory of choice Action, tho Publishers havo in mind tho groat need of the traveling publio for a class of reading that shall answer fur amuKuuicnt in tho rail car or on the e.t cam bout. A largo volume or a lon story often bocomoj wearUomo to the traVeller on account of tho disadvantages to which ho is subjected, -whilo tho type cf many volumes tender the reading .of them impossible to not a few travellers.In Good Stories all of theso difficulties ore overcome Each number is a small iiuarto, appropriately illustrated, and easy to the hand ; the Morie are choice, and demand not too continuous attention ; tho typo i luro and can be easily road, and the price, Fifty Cents per number, will place Good Storio within reach of all.

Tho theory odoptod by the fsthors of our Ucpublio was und is, That erey' mW should sharo C'jttully thobqlt1itslo b eonferrod by the (jovcrnmcnt, aud that tho burthens of (he Government should bc cijually distributed upon all. That the, burthen should le easy and light, whilo tic benefits, like tho dowa that fell upon Mount Zion, should bo equally distributed and enjoyed by all alike. Tho.io shore 'of outs should be tho asylum for tho oppressed of all -nations uti Le; an 1 tho corner-stono of 1 our institutions, laid deeply in the4 licnrts of tho people, ond cemented os a foundation principle, was, the Urjaliy ' expressed 'will of the m'tjuri'y should bo the governing law, and u round these nujlci (so to speuk) our great nation is crysjalircd. Tho nation is a great joint stock company, nnd every son of Adam who chooses his residence among us, and every one torn' in a'l our. l.tuJ, h7- a light to . demand and receive all the bculits which cm be conferred by oiir great corporate' body. Each tuon is of right,, ond oul;ht to' be, a sovereign stockholder. Tho powers of this body polriio thould 'always be wielded in such a way as to accomplish tho greatest amount of good for the grca'cst number. - For this, after all, is, or" ought to be, the - object for which Governments arc founded amongst men. Every man, woman and child has a nharo in tho'tömmoh stock, and should enjoy all tho protection of oar mild add c ua I laws. In the distribution' of tjerriiiig jotrt,r all should sharo nliko or be cjually protected. The child during its minoiily should lo as c-fually represented as tho grown-ttp sovereign. Tho tuuthcrs of our face should likewise enjoy tho protection of law, und have a reptcscnta'ioii in tho Government. It is not po-stbL, however, that men, women and children nhould ull to the polls und vote. Hat let the liht of sufi'roue b conferred upon a male citizen of twenty-one years of ago. or eighteen years, it you plcaso. Ho shall ca-t one vote. A muriicd n un thsll cast ono vote for himself, and ono by proxy for hi wife, and one voto for each living child born or adopted tnto tlto lutnily, so that all of every sex or nation thould enjoy the benefit of suffrage. 'I lis may le deemed a radical change in our laws, in relation to franchise, but who can say but 'that tho many evils of our prcs .wit ttystctu of legislating for, and governing tho country, would not forthw ith disappear from among us? Who could complain of unequal sulfrsgc? This system would ovcrthiow all other but a Republican or Democratic Ciovcrnmcnt. Monarchical, Imperial or Aristocratic Governments would disappear from the faeo of tho earth. Dcbeilion, Treason, Wur, Intemperance, and all moral and social cwls which now Littst tho fair fame of all human (J overt) me tit, would disappear. Law, Keligiou, Chutity, and all the Christian graces, would adorn our land, and the l'rime of licn would uooti bo enthroned over the nations of mankind, and tho millennial morn ushered in, jn all its glory. So mote it bo. Wcll3 Cojaty Defalcation. A Fort Wayne letter to tho Indianapolis Journal Ins the following: I am ublo to pivo you a few pnrlicnlars in regard to the Wells County Defalcation. The amount short is kbout 88, 0U0. As in the Allen case, no one can jive any explanation us to who gobbled tho funds, l'ho treasurer, who is a good naturcd, easy man, prufosned as much nurprio us any one, when on suttlomeut day tho funds were not on hand to mako both ends meet. An investigation was begun at once, but tho principal tcsult thus fur has been to demonstrate that the accounts aro loosoly kept, sod aUo to show that it clork in the ofliee, receiving a salary of 7UÜ per year, had been able to purchase 'property tu tho amount cf f i, 500, bo-ides living Meli all tho time. 1 1 o has played his gamo well, and covered up hi trucks so they cannot find urty hold on him. Uut persons who tan see through a ladder do not scruple to hint that ho can tell all about it if he will. In justieo to tho treasurer it is only fair to say that his property will cover thj deficit, but ho will have very littlo left. The published statement madu tho amount lacking only about ?:t,(JU0, but I lmve ,'ood reason to kuow that tho figures I havo given aro very noirly correct, and it may reach a higher aum. Tho trouble in all these cases seems to bo that under tho control of 'a clique, a few men have kept the offices among them, ...s. . ;..i. c. . i. . . : i . i-! . i .i rnti I ii i iv it ti vni in riious, ti un nits they have grown lazy and too. proud to work, entrusting their businchs to irrcspou siu.o parries, uuien a crasii comes, the blame can not lo saddled anywhero, but it xhould rest on tho officer, wlio havo paid moro attention to fast horses and c;ood whisky than fo their legitimate business. n neu too peoplo elect good busuier-H men to olliec, instead of party hacks, wo will ! nao no more scares about tlie loss ot publio.woncys,' Uur s'ystem of putlio aceounts seems to ' bo much tuoro complcto than is necessary.
