Of its tones to those of a pipe organ, it is
superior to any we have ever heard. It
contains 5 sets of reeds and 14 stops, and is
capable of a great variety of expression, its
0 softest tones being beautifully sweet and
pure, While the stronger tones are delight-
fully full and sonorous. The reeds are
so voiced that there is a marked difference
in the quality of the tones of each set, and
by this improvement different qualities of
tone can be used when desired, and when the
‘ whole are combined, a richer, grander vol-
ume of tone is produced than can be by other
instruments not thus voiced. It is but just
that we should say that this Organ was se-

W The Germans in the west are taking
up the subject of fraudulent naturalization,
so extensively practiced by the democracy
wherever they have the power. It is pecul-
ed by the adopted citizens, for the wrong is,
if possible, greater to them than the native-
born Americans. The'llliuois Stout Zeitung,
the most influential German paper of the
West, contains an article on the subject,
which is attracting much attention. The
German editor suggest that the national gov-
ernment take the right of naturalization out
of the hands of the states; that all applica-
tions for naturalization be published in the
newspapers; that the court passing upon
such applications be required to entertain 0b-
jections made by any citizen, and tohearwit-
ncsses against, as well as for, the applicants;
and that lists of all naturalized citizens be
kept in places always open to the public. In
this way, he thinks, the actof naturalization
can be made more significant to foreigners
arriving in this country, and the disgraceful
frauds which are now practised at every im-
portant election can be made more diflicult,
if not practically impossible. The proposi-
tion is worthy of serious consideration.

—The Toledo Blade, Nasby’s paper, re-

He is the first vice president ever inaugurated

president by assassination; he is the first
man who ever vetoed sixteen acts of Con-
gress; he is the first man who ever dared to
make himself the constitutional tribunal, and
he will be the first president, in all probabili-
ty, who will go out by impeachment.”

@" Last October Judge Sharswood was
chosen Judge of the Supreme Court inPenn-
sylvania, by a majority of 922 votes. This
result was, of course, hailed as a democratic
victory and an infallible sign of reaction
against radicalism. How it was brought
about has recently come to light in the ex-
amination of a contested election case in the
State Senate. It was proved by the
testimony of persons engaged in the plot
that forged naturalization papers were mau-
ufactured in large quantites in Philadelphia,
soaked in coffee to give the appearance of
age, and distributed to those counties where
they were thought to be most effectual in se-
curing the election of democratic members
of the legislature. Centre county was the
count to which this examination was limi-
ted. t came out that the supplies of these
forged papers sent to Luzerne county was
so much larger than could be used there that
a great number of them were transferred to
Centre. There was not sufficient number of
naturalized foreigners to use them and ac-
cordingly the wholcforce at work on a rail-t
roadm the vicinity was colonized and march
ed to the polls, and caused to vote the ticket
thrust m the hands of each. It was also prov-
ed that cxtraordinary means were taken to
prevent these facts from coming to light. A
Catholic priest testified to having paid five
hundred dollars to a witness to leave the
State, being advised to this course by the
democratic state committee, by whom the
money was furnished. If such things are
done in Pennsylvania, where the rural pop-
ulation are not celebrated for brightness, who
can doubt that more ingenious frauds were
perpetrated by the sharper democrats of
Connecticut ? .

PAYABLE, IN ., GOLD.
The Great Pacific Railroad Line, extending 1791
miles from Omaha, on the Missouri River, to the tide-
waters of the Pacific Ocean, is being built by two pow-
erful Companies—Tar. Union PAoIno, beginning at
Omaha, buildingWest, and the Centrrd Pacific or Gals
ifornla, beginning at Sacramento, shindig East, until
the two roads shall'meet. '
Both Companies have prosecuted the work with
gaeat vigor, the Union Pacific having already expend.
e over ' - .
THIRTY MILLION 'DOLLARS,
and the Central over Trinity kimono, upon their re-
spcctive parts of the undertaking. THB UNION PA-
CIFIC HAVE COMPLETED 550 MILES—have iron
and other materials for two hundred'miles more upon
the ground, and one hundred additional miles are
ready for the track. They will have a much larger
force employed this year than ever before, and it is
expected that between
800 and 9001!!le
will be in operation dnrlfl‘g'lBCS. There seems to be
no reasonable doubt that the distorted between Omaha
and Sacramento will be traversed by rail in 1570.
THE GOVERNMENT GRANTS 19,800 acres of land
and its Bonds to the average amount «323,000 per
mile. to aid in the construction of the line, and author-
izes the issue of the First Mortgage Bonds now odbr-
ed for sale, to the some amount and no more. The
Government takes a mono lion, and gives to the First
Mortgage Bondholders a prior lien for their security,
to which a large paid-up capitals Added. The Bonds
cannot be issued except as each section of twenty miles
is accepted by Government commission, so that they
always represent a real property.
It is universally admitted that on the completion of
theUnion Pacific Railroad, its through business will
make it one of the most profitable In the world—but
its way or local business is already several times the
interest on its bonds; so that, ifnot another mile were
built, they would be a secure investment.
THE NET EARNINGS for eight months of last
year on an average of 386 miles are officially reported
at $1 ,069,l 36, while the interest on all the Bonds
it could issue on that length of road for that time, re-
duced to currency, was only $345,850.
The amount paid by the Government for the trans-
portation of troops, munitions, stores and mails has
been, and doubtless will continue to be much more
than the interest on the United State- Seeond Mort-
gage Bonds. If it is not, the charter provides that
after the road is completed, and until sold bonds and
interest are paid,_at least five per cent. of the net fini-
ings of the road shall be applied tosuch payment.
The Union Pacific Bonds are for $1,000 each, and
have coupons attached. Theyhave thirty years to run,
and bear annual interest, payable on the first days of
January and July at the Company’s Office in the City
of New York, at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The
Principal is payable in gold at maturity. At the pres-
ent rate of gold, these bonds pay an annual income on ‘
their cost of nearly
NEARLY NINE PER CENT,
AND IT Is BELlEVED THAT THEY WILL soon
BF. AT A PREMIUM. ‘
The Company have but a very limited supply of their
Bonds on hand, but any subscriptions accepted to a
greater amount than can be filled from Bonds now in
the Company‘s ipossession, will be supplied from the
New Bonds to be issued on that portion of the road
completed in the Spring, in the order in which they are
received.
The Company reserve the right to advance the price
of their bonds to a rate above par at any time. and
will not fill any orders or receive any subscriptions on
which the money has not been actually paid at the
Company’s oflice before the time of such advance.
Parties subscribing will remit the par value of the
bonds and the accrued interest in currency at the rate
of six per cent. per annum, from the date on which
the last coupon was paid. Subscriptions will be re-
ceived in NORWALK, by
The NATIONAL BANK of‘ nonwami,
and in New York .

Wall Street, and by the Company’s advertised agents
throughout the United States. .
Remittances should be made in drafts or otherfunla
at par in New York, and the Bonds will be sent free of
charm by return express. Parties subscribing through
local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.
