M gOxr .Bail g-jslaukm. AST Ul A OkfiCON: SUNDAY- MAY 15. 1881 B.C. IICKLlMt LIIIur. Eastern Railroad Connections. A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean writing from Omaha, the headquarters of the Union Pa ciBc operations, says the most important event in railroad exten sion, excepting only the comple tion of the new southern line to the Pacific coast, is. the grand sys tem of railroad development in Oregon and "Washington territory. Two great corporations have unit ed their efforts for this work, and already the Oregon Railway and Navigation company is pushing its lines through these provinces, and laying a net work of roads, for which the Union Pacific will pro vide an outlet east by a line to be built from Granger, a point about 150 miles east of Ogden, to Port land, Oregon. This line, leaving Granger, strikes out in a north westerly direction, intersecting the Utah and Northern at or near Pocatillo, 123 miles from Granger and on, traversing rich pasture lands over which Mr. Strahorn rode horseback, and passing within easy reach of the Wood and Sal mon river mining camps, which will be the silver sensation of 1881, will reach Boise city, 2o miles faom Pocatillo, by atr air line, and then 140 miles through a fertile, agricultural country-, especially adapted to fruit raising, to Baker city, and there, by connection with the Oregon Railway and Naviga tion company, to Portland. The total length of this line from Granger to Portland will be 010 miles which is eighty miles less than the distance between Granger and San Francisco. The distance between Chicago and Portland by this line will be 2,280 miles, and a saving in time of -IS hours. It will be a shorter route from Chicago to Portland by several hundred miles than by the Northern Pacific. Flashes from the Wires. The worlds fair ie convalescing. Now we are informed that the commissioners are encouraged by the moru friendly disposition of the railroad companies. Vander bilt will subscribe 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 for the Central rail road. Peter Cooper is said to be ready to rescue the enterprise with his own money if necessary, as he believes it will pay. JHSCELLANEOUS. IMPORTANT iio'iiCEMENT; OK THE Granted a few resolute conspir ators, with one man of education among them, and some little com mand of money, and no conceiv able laws or rules of police or detective arragements, can prevent assassins from making and carry ing and throwing bombs, which are as dangerous to the victims as hostile batteries only fifty yards off. Science has armed the assas sin, and governments, with all their endless resources in men and material, are almost as powerless as if their opponents could wield the lightning or direct the course of earthquakes.

Another caucus will be held to morrow. Mrs. Garfield is worse, and the president's entire attention is given to her, so that nothings can be learned from him about public matters. Dispatches yesterday primed of the verbiage, inform us that Bil lings will be succeeded by Albert Fink, pool commissioner of the trunk lines. On the 13th the electric railroad which runs six miles from Berlin, was an entire success. It was made in a simple train of cars with an electric battery concealed be tween the wheels. The greatest speed obtained was eighteen Eng lish miles an hour. It is said that Conkling don't know anything about the author ship of the New York Heralds "Washington letter.. It is not at all essential to the matter that he should. A close friend of the president says the president will give the lie direct to any man who says that he promised Morton the treasury. The New York Herald is giving the stalwarts' side a show. The Oregoniau publishes a very con siderable portion of this matter in its dispatches yesterday, and 'though it is characterized as "a disgusting string of falsehoods," it is nevertheless about as reason able as anything that has ap peared on the other side, '-cussing the stalwarts."' and has the merit of the strongest kind of "circum stantial evidence" that it is true.
