' Freights will then move only one way on- each' track, nnd at 'rates of speed that will answer the- demands of cheapness nod time-cars and engines will be light or heavy, according to the speed required and the weight to be transport ed. In conclusion, I will add that we hope t ch ultimately what is now impos sible on long lines; ' transport course, heavy, and cheap products lor all dis tances, at living rates to trade Now, gentlemen, with your assistance, we will proceed to lav the hut tie and rail and ! drive the last spike. , Gen. G. M. Dodge, chief engineer of the Union-Pacific railroad, in responding for California, 'Nevada and Arizona, said : ' "The great Benton prophesied that some day a granite statue would te erected on the highest eak of the Rocky Mountains, pointing -west ward, denoting I he great route across the continent. You hare made the prophesy to-day a fact. ' ' ' The superintendent of construction, 8. 1$. Reed. o( the Union Pacific railroad, and 8. W.

Auierleau Aut i-Slnvery Hociety. At the thirty-sixth anniversary of the American' Antl-Slavery.' Society,, held in New York on 'Tuesday, the following ' res olutions were ftdopted "-; ' That we see in.' tlio fifteenth amende ment proposed to the nntioual constitution fhe capstone and completion of our move mentthe fulfillment of our pledge to the negro.' v ; ' r : v : , u That in the ostracism- and exclusive action of the most of the public houses in this city' toward: the colored people, we .sue but too. plainly the pro-slavery spirit of Southern slavery?; which j'ully , justifies the continued, and . earnest . remonstrance of this society. 1 , '.,!..:..; " That we see with especial satislaction tliat the Lieut. Governor of a State, black' Though he be, can Imj courteously received in a New .York hotel and since ! neither church nor press has yet aroused itself to put an endj to' .this heuthenjsh .andnofa.- luous spirit of cast, we trust that the blacks of the South will claim their full propotion of State officers in order that .'Governors having broken thoir way .' into hotels, churches, lecture- rooms,, and the other resorts of men, the private citizens who shares the color of the first champion may in time find admittance. "That though we expect to see this in human and unchristian prejudice against race yield to the social and civil influences, which now set against it, long ' before . it shall have ceased in. the. churches and without their aid, still this does not les sen the guilt Of the religious bodies which have so obstinately persisted in pandering to it. ".That we see with delight the aboli tion of slavery by the insurgent patriots of Cuba, and trust our government will give them prompt recognition ; and we wel come the steps which Spain herself has taken in the same directiou, 'hoping that she will recognize the liberty of others while struggling .for her own. " . t That the reconstruction of the South rests on the education of the masses, and this on tho introduction of the common school system which prevails at the North, which cannot live but in a closely settled community; hence the New England vil Huge must be introduced at the South, and in order to do that the lands of the South must be open to purchasers in shall lots. We urge the-government, therefore, to adobt a land policy which will secure this result."' Wendell Phillips, Miss Lucy Stouc, Hon. J. M. Sims, of Georgia, and other well-: known friends of the cau9c, delivered ad dresses in harmony with these resolutions. Phillips said lie expected to live to see the day when tho Board of Brokers would be obliged to throw open their doors to the colored Lieutenant Governor of a sov ereign State. The time was coming when this nation would recognize no difference between black and white. When we had a black Senator and a black Secretary of State, we should have a policy that would send Mr. Motley to England with a very different set of instructions tbad that with which he is provided.. The nation, to be respected abroad as well as at home, must first learn to respect itself. ' ' MissS tone prayed for the day J when the .black mau and the black woman could stand at the ballot-box together. Mr. Sims dwelt on the hardships which" men of his color had endured in ; Georgia in 7 times past, but felicitated his hearers upon the better times which had now dawned upon them. Mrs. Harper, (colored,) Mrs. Black well and Stephen - Foster also had something to say. . . 1 : k 1 ' Women Ciyninasts. From the Pall Mall Gazette. . ' ' lias the Chamberlain or. .his Commis sioner ever seen a . band of bounding sis ters? They dress in the unembarrassed atyle which for ages has been the costume ot the male acrohat, and which is very like that in which -they were- born. As they stand in a line with tho. men, hands on hips, the difference of sex ia at .first scarce perceptible. Nor, indeed, no tney indulge themselves in any reserve of ges ture such as might be cherished as a relic of modesty. They form pieces of a pyra mid with the men, and when the pyramid is resolving itself to bits, are held by the heels, or distorted in any fashion permit ted by the laws of gravitation. It should also be observed that the ladies are sub-; jeetrd to the most perilous portion of the business, lor the obvious reason tnat the spectators have tyaid their money on an implied understanding of the sort. To do these women justice, they do not shrink from feats that astonish as well as disgust. A few years ago there was only one Mem ken, and she had a hard time of it if she were as sentimental as her posthumous Sapphics would suggest ; but now we have got far beyond the wearisome "Mazeppa." . .. - - It is a bad sign. wheh a people hunger after cruel sport, and this female acrobat ing, if we may use the term, is not only unseemly, but cruel to a degree. If the women are closely watched, it is easy to perceive that 5 their ' nerves are ' not fit for the sad work. ; Behind the grin of the mime there is a look of natural fear and distrust, as if a ghnstlj finish to the exhi bition were constantly in sight. Their limbs, too, the -arms especially, tremble when the feat in hand must be repeated or prolonged. : And what sort of training do these women undergo, brought up from early girlhood to such a calling?

It is understood that news was received at the State Department to-day very damaging to the cause of Cuban Independence. . The small army nnder the command of the insurrection ary leaders, it is said, has been broWenup Into predatory bands, and there Is not now a single spot on the island which can be said to be in possession of the insurrectionists. The Cabi net came to no conclusion yesterday In respect to Cuba. It is rumored that the proclamation of neutrality will now be issued, upon the de mand of the Spanish Minister, as it is evident the hostile movement is now confined to the United States. Bufore the news rcferrred to was received, It was rumored 'that a majori ty of the Cabinet, including the Secretary of State, '.were opposed to according belligerent rights to the lDsargeuts. Doubts are entertained to-dav aa to tlie coarse of the President in regard to the Vir ginia Constitution.. The Cabinet are under stood to be divided as to the parts of that in strument to ticket aside for separate action. It is hinted that the President has beeq induced to recede from his promises to the leaders of the new movement"' and will not reserve several of the objectionable features of the Underwood instrument for a separate vote. It may, there fore, reasonably be expected that the Constitu tion will be voted down, especkJly as Chief Justice Chase has decided that Virginia is now a State in the Union and as much entitled to representation as any other. She does not stand in any need of further "reconstruction." It is known that J udge Chase's views would be sustained by the Supreme Court. ... i he resident's action in appointing army officers to the snprintendency of Indian affairs receives favor from no quarter other than the appointees themselves. An act of Congress, passed at the last session, provided for a large reduction of the annv-of coarse, including officers. Instead of carrying out this law, the officers intended to be retired have been thus saddled upon the civil service, thougli paid according to their rank in the army. This is a palpable violation of thc-law, and of sufiicient magnitude to warrant impeachment, taken in connection with other strides of the Govern ment in the direction of military despotism. A paper in this District, bnt a little while ago extremely anxious to put tho very best irA nn all tlio ata rtf tlita a1 mlnictrainn niw sums up the headlong course of General Grant tnhis current experiment of pure muitray rule as follows : 44 As we write, a contemporary Journal comes to us with a long list a multitude of army officers who aro assigned to duty as superin tendents and sub-superintendents of Indian af fairs. With these in practical control of the heart of the continent, with a soldier at the head of the Indian Bureau, with another sol dier at the head of the War Department, with a soldier for President, with entire States still nnder military control, with nepotism in prin cipal appointments, with a hectoring and irri tating Dolicv toward foreign powers, and with Admiral Portei in ehr of the Narv Depart ment, under express order of Mr. Borie, (an illegal order on its face, and of course void as to consequences,) it must be admitted by the, most stolid that things are taking a most deci ded, not to say dangerous, military direction." 1 he breach between the rrcsident and sec retary Fish is hourly widening. The latter still peremptorily refuses to issue commissions to a batch oi vvashburne's foreign appoint ees many of them connections of "the fam ily." This affair, however,, is not the only difficulty between the parties. It is .generally agreed that the President was bent upon plunging the country into a wsr with Europe. Mr.' Fish has persistently opposed every measure looking to Such a result. He is now known to insist upon a proclamation of neutrality in respect to Cuba. 7 The guillotine will commence operations io the Interior Department on the 15th. when about 20 per cent, of the clerical force will be ejected. Another installment or a like num ber will be thrust out at the expiration of the month. Some thirty or forty negroes, I un derstand, will be thus provided for. including abovtadozen 44 colored ladies." , Recent accounts from England have weighed heavily upon the spirit of the leaders of the dominant taction still here. The " claim" set up by that Government for "spoliations" committed upon her citizens through Fenian raids upon Canada, is a "Roland for an Oli ver," indeed. Mr. Bumner la much dejected. His 44 great speech" is mercilessly handled by the English papers of all shades of politics. It seems to be settled that Mr. Motley, will be instructed to refrain from agitating 44 the del icate question," at least for the present. Mr. Banns is sun here in the interest of the San Domingo patriots. He is very deeply ex ercised but speaks buoyantly of early 44 annex ation." X. THE BICYCLE. Velocipede Racing in Uver pool.' - s i From the Liverpool Post, April 26. ' ' An entertainment of a novel character took place at. the Liverpool Gymnasium on Satur day, the 24th. It consisted of what waa called a 44 bicycle tournament," by members of tba Liverpool Velocipede Club. Of course that which created the greatest Interest and caused the most amusement was the exhibition of the bycycle, nnder the most difficult circum stances, such as tilting, throwing the javelin, and broadsword attacks. . The first event on the programme was tilt ing at the ring on bicycles, This was accom plished as follows : A pole was placed longi tudinally about seven feet high, and four or five small rings were suspended on hooks. Each competitor bad a tilting lance and he was deem ed the victor who unhooked the greatest num ber and carried them away on the point of his tilting lance. There were seven competitors. The victor was Mr. R. VY. Leyland, . who car ried off six rings and won by three points. The next competition, which required con siderable skill in the management of the bycy cle, particularly in the balancing, was throw ing the javelin. There were eight competi tors, and each was allowed ten throws at the target, with au arrow about five feet in length. The riders coursed round the gymnasium, and when within a few feet of the target threw the arrow. Another arrow was then banded to them, and the same thing was repeated anjil the number of throws was completed. The operation appeared to require the greatest steadiness. 1 he winner was Mr. S. r ranghia di, who made; a score of 39, and won by 12 UOintS. Tilting on bycycles, after the fashions of knhrhts of the olden time, was about the most amusing part of the proceedings. Two gentlemen Mr. J. M. Caw, who dabbed him- m . V. XT f . K TtaA anil U k S. Pearson, who was styled the Knight of the Black Cross took part in this. . They were at tired in armor with helmet, and had each a formidable looking lancepadded at the end. The competitor who unseated his adversary three times ont of five was declared the victor. Mr. Caw, much to the amusement ot the audi ence, had the misfortune to bite the dust nrst, bnt fortune smiled upon him afterward, for in a short time be unseated his adversary thrice in succession. . , , The other bicycle exhibitions comprised ev olations. fancv riding, and a broadsword com bat. The last named combat bad mnch spirit and fun infused into It by Messrs. is. I eves and R. Teves, brothers, who pursued and evaded each other and slashed away in the . 44 cut and ran" for a considerable time. - In the .fancy tiding considerable skill was shown, but owing to the large number wuo too a. part in it aome of them fell foul of each other, : and bicycle and rider came to the floor.. , From the demon stration of 8atarday we should imagine that in this, as in a few other kinds of rivalry, the ver ingenious Americans are apt to carry off the palm.: .The only .American Dycyoie ima tournament, one mjwafectured -by Messrs. Pickerine Davis, of New York, an whfch 1 jsras very skillfully used by Mr. Currey, attract j ed much attention' from Its peculiar but evi-. J dently superior style of construction. . - A ClttWGB.T.

' U HYDROPHOBIA. 0 Death' of a til tie Boy at CJov- Ington, Ky. ' William Wehrr fourteen .years old, of Covington, Ky. died yesterday afternoon of hydrophobia. On last St. Patrick's Day a dog bit turn on the lif."' There was considerable excitement at the time about mad dogs, and the boy's parents sought medical aid for him' in Cincinnati. ,, The physician employed prescribed for . the patient, and, in a few days, dismissed the case, assuring the mother and lather that there was no -occasion 'for 'afaroi' oH ac count of the bite.' ' ' : , :1 The wound o pott "the boy's ! lip healed kindly, and nothing more was thought ot the matter until last Thursday evening, when the lad complained of being unwell. He suffered from pain in the head, and !a feeling of lassitude and soreness pervaded his whole system,' accompanied ' by chilli ness and lowness of spirits. " On Friday he complained of great constriction about the throat, and, on attempting to .take' a drink of water was seized with spasm in the throat, and found that he was unable to swallow a particle, of the fluid. Upon every subsequent attempt to drink he was seized with like spasms, and was tortured with thirst and a sense of -dryness of the mouth. At til's stage of the disease, the sufferer manifested great sensitiveness to cold air.: 'The opening of a door would cause him intense agony, producing suffo cation and even convulsions. . The intervals between the paroxysms became shorter, until the wildest delirium and most violent contortions of body marked the heart-rending. scene. The boy was constantly- attempting to get out ot bed, crying out. 4T)1 bite, ..I'll bite." Be tween 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday after noon, three men, who are neighbors of the family, went into the room occupied by the uulortunate sufferer, during one of bis spasms, and with gloves on their hands bound him to the bed. They had scarce ly finished this operation when it was dis covered that death had put an end to his agony. '' 4 ' - ' ' ( ' ' - - The dog which bit the boy belonged to Mr. James B. Casey.' The same' animal bit a man named Butter before being killed. Cin. Com. 1 llnrning.of six SI earners at Cin cinnati Heavy Losses o f Property. j CiNCLKNATi, May 12. A most destructive conflagration of steamboats rnged in this city at the New Orleans and Memphis packet landing this morning. : The nre broke out at 2 o clock A. M. in the steamer Clifton, and extend ed to the Westmoreland and Mellnotte above, and to the Cheyenne, Mary Erwin and Darling below. These six boats were 6oon enveloped in flames. - The - bulls of the Mellnotte and Darling may be used again. ' The others are a total loss. The fire originated in the chambermaid's room on the Clifton, by the upsetting of a coal- oil lamp. I ourteen kegs - of powder on the Cheyenne exploded, scattering the name3 on the Westmoreland. There were 200 barrels of coal oil on the Che yenne and 25 barrels of coal oil ' on the Melnotte and 70 tons of freight. She was an old boat. - The Clifton was a fine Mem phis packet, five years old, and owned by the Memphis Packet Company, valued at $35,000, insured for $22,000. She was one-third loaded. The Mary Erwin is an Arkansas river boat, just repaired, value $11,000, insured for $10,000, no freight. The Cheyenne was in the Arkansas river trade, has been run only eight months, and was loaded with a valuable freight of 3,000 tons," valued at $50,000 ; the boat was valued at $30,000, and insured for $13,000. The Darting belonged to the Memphis Packet Company, and had just put off a cargo ot cotton, most of which was lost, bhe was valued at $25,000 and was insured for $20,000. There are ru mors that several lives were lost, but up to noon no names were reported. ' ' Cincinnati, May 12. The insurance valuation on . the boats burned to-day is as follows: Clifton, $35,000 ; Westmoreland,, $28,000; Mel notte, $11,000: Darling, , $18,000:. Che yenne, $28,000; Mary Erwin, $10,000; of which $25,000 is in Cincinnati and the remainder in Pittsburg companies total, $30,000. But one' deck' band on the Cheyenne ' waa lost. Another account says that J. B. Jackson, . an Arkansas trader, was,. lost on the. Cheyenne Loss on freight was $100,000", nearly all in sured. A Juvenile Romance.' From the Springfield Republican. ' Two children who work in one1 of the Chicopee factories, Eli Goodro, 15 years old, and Louisa Stebbins, 14, fell down; right into love bo deep that they - deter mined, with" an utter contempt of conse quences, to go and get married, as grown folks do. Chicopee clerks and clergy very sternly and sensibly refused to grant marriage certificate or ceremonyj " where upon the decided youths came, to this city and obtained . both. The Palmer Journal says the civil sanction was de tained from the City Clerk, and the - reli gious from the ltev. Dr. Ide. ;At all events, they were successful in their visit, and started for Thorndike, there to spend the honeymoon until Louisa's parents should forgive them. They got as far as Palmer "on 1 Wednes day evening, and spent the night in the depot certainly af- very elegant' 'bridal chamber. But on Thursday, morning the parental Stebbinses bore down upon them ere the Thorndike craft hove insight, and captured the outward bound , adven turers. They wanted to separate the bold babies, but though I Louisa, dishear tened by the meager outset ef the voyage, was willing to haul off, Eli ' remarked de fiantly that they had been andgone and done it, and what 'did they mean to do about it ? Impressed by his view of the case,' and by the advice of a Palmer justice to make the best of it, the parents relented, and convoyed the precious pair.home, triumph antly happy.- But we -shouldn't "like to have the responsibility yof sanctioning this absurd transaction. . ; .'t SEMI- WEEKLY H E WDEU SOUr INDEX A DEMOCRATIC NETTSiyLPER, ' Pnblisbeil Every Tuesday mmd.
