NEWS DEPARTMENT. 
ROCHESTER, N. Y., DECEMBER 14, 1867. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
From Washington. 
The last Session of the 39th Congress ended 
on Monday the 2d in6t., at noon, and the First 
Session of the Fortieth Congress began imme¬ 
diately thereafter. The Fresident’s message was 
transmitted on the 3d. Reports of the Secretary 
of the Treasury, the Postmaster - General, the 
Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary 
of the Navy were also promptly received. 
A bill has been passed, after long debate, abol¬ 
ishing the tax oh cotton to be grown after the 
present year. 
The Committee on Ways and Means has been 
instructed to inquire into the expediency of ex¬ 
empting from taxation all articles the product of 
hard labor. A bill repealing tbe authority of the 
Secretary of tbe Treasury to make any reduction 
in the currency by retiring or cancelling United 
States notes has been reported from the same 
Committee, and has, after much debate, passed 
the House; and another has been introduced to 
fund tbe interestbearing debt of tbe United States 
and to provide for a national tax thereon, etc. 
Gen. Grant is preparing a new order to Btill 
further reduce the expenditures on account of 
the army. 
Applicants arc warmly struggling for the mis¬ 
sion to Mexico. Gen. Kilpatrick, Minister to 
Chili, wants to come nearer home, it is said, and 
there are half u dozen other applicants. 
The impeachment question has absorbed much 
attention. Mr. Boutwell, Chairman of tbe com¬ 
mittee which made the three reports on tbe sub¬ 
ject, began a long argument in favor of tbe im¬ 
peachment resolution, on the 5th instant, and 
concluded it on the ensuing day. 
The vote on the resolution, though staved off 
for a little time by flllibustering, was taken 
finally by ayes and noe6 on the 7th inst., and 
resulted yeas, 57; nays, 108. 
The Navy Department has information from 
the U. S. Consul-General at Havana, of the loss 
of the U. 8. war steamers De Soto and Mononga- 
hcla, in the recent storm off Santa Cruz. The 
Susquehanna was also badly damaged. 
The President’s Message, — This impor¬ 
tant document Is very lengthy, and wo can 
give only the briefest summary. It declares 
that there is no Union as our fathers understood 
the term ; that the States lately In rebellion are 
deprived of their constitutional rights; and that 
a complete restoration can be effected only by a 
faithful adherence to the Constitution and Laws. 
It opposes the Military Reconstruction Bill as 
unconstitutional and oppressive, and urges its 
repeal; also opposes negro suffrage, and thinks 
that tbe colored people cannot be trusted to 
govern themselves. The advantages of Southern 
trade are discussed at length; reference is made 
to frauds committed on the Treasury, and the 
infringement by Congress of the Presidential 
right to remove poisons from office; and con¬ 
siders the finances and resumption of specie 
payment. A thorough revision of the revenue 
system, a reduction of the number of articles 
subject to tax, and a general retrenchment of 
expenses are recommended; and Indian affairs, 
the Pacific Railroad, Postal affairs, our Foreign 
relations, claims against England, aud tkc posi¬ 
tion of the West India Islands arc all discussed 
at some length. 
Internal Revenue.— The report of the Com¬ 
missioner of Internal Revenue, shows that the 
receipts from internal revenue for the last fiscal 
year were $265,©20,474.05—an amount eonsidcr- 
bly larger than was anticipated. The act of Jilly 
18,1866, was intended to reduce the revenue. £65,- 
000,000 a year, and the act of March last was 
meant to accomplish a further reduction of £50,- 
000,000 a year. The receipts for 1865 were £211,- 
129,529.17, and for 1860, $810,906,9M. 17. The 
enterprise and growth of the country have thus 
left the receipts only $55,000,000 a year less than 
the maximum. 
The Navy.— It appears from Mr. Welles’ 
report that during the year the naval force of 
the United States has been reduced forty vessels 
and four hundred and eighty-two guns. There 
are now 56 vessels in the squadron service, 
mounting 507 guns, aud divided as follows; — 
Asiatic Squadron, Rear-Admiral Bell, 12 vessels, 
96guns; North Atlantic Squadron, Rear-Admi¬ 
ral Palmer, 10 vessels, 79 guns; North Pacific 
Squadron, Rear-Admiral Thatcher, 11 vessels, S5 
i gnn*; South Atlantic Squadron, Rear-Admiral 
Davis, 7 vessels, 65 guns; and the European 
Squadron, Admiral Farragut, 7 vessels, 83 guns. 
The whole number of vessels in use, on ail kinds 
of service, is 103; and there are 49 iron-elads 
laid up, and six not completed; 21 steam ves¬ 
sels not completed, and two incomplete sailing 
J vessels; while 57 other vessels are laid up, repair 
lug, fitting for sea or for sale — making total 
number of vessels, 238, carrying 1,860 guns. 
Eleven thousand nine hundred men have been 
employed In the naval and coast survey service 
during the year. The Naval Academy graduated 
the present year a class of eighty-sevcD. The 
estimates for appropriations for the fiscal year 
commencing June 30, 1869, amount to $47,317,- 
183.95. 
The Treasury. — Secretary McCulloch’s re¬ 
port is long and elaborate. It treats of specie 
payment, of sustaining national bank6, need of 
conservative legislation, taxation, the indispen- 
sabllity of large revenues, the tariff, observance 
of contracts, exemption of government bonds 
from taxation, &c. Tbe Secretary thinks that, 
with favorable crops next year, and no legisla¬ 
tion meantime unfavorable to contraction, specie 
payment ought not to be. delayed longer than 
July 1st, 1869. He considers as important if not 
indispensable to such ft condition of national 
prosperity as will insure a permanent restora¬ 
tion of Bpecie standard: —First—Tbe funding or 
paying of the balance of the interest-bearing 
notes sind the continued contraction of the paper 
currency. Second—The maintenance of the pub¬ 
lic faith in regard to the funded debt. Third- 
Restoration of the Southern States to their 
proper relations to the Federal Government. 
The receipts and expenditures for the next 
fiscal year ending June 30, 1868, are estimated 
at $381,000,000. The expenditures for the same 
period are estimated at $372,000,000. 
New York State Item*. 
The municipal election in New York city on 
the 3d inst., resulted In the election of John T. 
Hoffman for Mayor by an immense majority. 
The Board of State Canvassers convened in 
Albany on the 3d Inst., and canvassed the vote 
for State officers. The official footings show 
698,128 votes for Secretary of State, of which 
Homer A. Nelson received 373,029. 
Horace. Greeley unconditionally declines the 
appointment of Minister to Austria. 
The Constitutional Convention after much de 
bate has adopted a section on taxation which 
provides thut taxation ou real and personal pro¬ 
perty shall be equal and uniform in the State, 
and which makes it the duty of tbe Legislature 
to pass laws giving effect to such provision. A 
sworn statement, delivered to the taxing officers 
by persons and corporations owning or bolding 
such property, specifying estimated value there¬ 
of, Ac., is to be the basis of taxation. 
Ex-Comptroller Denuistofi died at Salisbury 
on tbe 3d inst. 
The schooner Baltic was sunk in Oswego har¬ 
bor on the 6th inst. 
From tl»e Soutb. 
The returns from South Carolina indicate a 
Radical triumph. The delegates elected, ae far 
as heard from, are fifty whites, thirty browns, 
and thirty-one blacks. 
The Virginia Reconstuction Convention met 
in Richmond on tbe 3d Inst. Judge Underwood 
was made President. 
On tbe 5tb Inst., the Alabama Reconstruction 
Convention adopted an ordinance providing for 
the submission of the Constitution to tbe regis¬ 
tered voters on the 4th of February, 1868. The 
article on franchise has been amended so that 
all persons are disfranchised who are disqualified 
from holding office by the proposed amendment 
to the Constitution, known as the 14th article. 
The final vote on the adoption of the Con¬ 
stitution was taken on the evening of the same 
day and resulted—yeas, 67; nays, 10. Seventeen 
members protest against it. 
General Hancock has lately issued an order, 
revoking paragraph 2 of special order No. 135, 
which provides l'or the immediate revision of 
jury lists, to exclude all citizens not registered 
voters under the Reconstruction acts. The to¬ 
tal majority of registered voters for the conven¬ 
tion in South Carolina will number nearly 9,000. 
The vote of the State was upwards of 70,000, 
Pacific Railroad Progress, 
The Great Pacific Railroad project assumes 
tbe phase of a grand fact. Already has a loco¬ 
motive climbed the eastern slope of the Rocky 
Mountains, and transit from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific ocean is now accomplished in fifteen 
days. Two powerful Companies are putting 
forth all their energies in the construction of the 
great through line. The Union Pacific Com¬ 
pany have built 500 miles of road in two years; 
the. Ccutral Pacific Company, beginning At the 
Pacific side and working eastward, have per¬ 
formed a more prodigious work, even, in carry¬ 
ing their track across California and over the 
Sierra Nevada range into the Sait Lake Basin. 
The distance accomplished by the latter —only 
150 miles —wonld not seem to indicate this, but 
the amount of resistance overcome in it, has been 
tremendous. Seven thousand feet above sea- 
level the track mounts, yet by practicablegrades. 
Backed by Government credit to a large extent, 
aud even now financially a success, the Central 
Pacific Road is a snre investment. The Central 
Pacific Company oiler tbe First Mortgage BoikL- 
of their road for sale on highly advantageous 
terms, as will be seen by reference to their ad¬ 
vertisement in another column. 
Messrs. S. D. A n. W. Smith of this city, 
the well-known manufacturers of the American 
Organs, have recently added to their styles very 
powerful aud attractive Organs for churches, 
with beautiful upright coses, having gilded imi¬ 
tation pipes, making them fine ornamental 
instruments for the choir gallery or chapel. All 
musicians, upon hearing them, express their sur¬ 
prise at the amount of pure &Dd lull tone which 
they are capable of producing. These new 
styles contain the deep manna] sub-bass, and 
super-octave coupler, giving them sufficient 
volume to sustain even a hundred or more 
voices, and yet are rich in soft and expressive 
effects. They are becoming very popular on ac¬ 
count of their real musical merit, and also for their 
reasonableness in price, bringing them within 
the reach of all churches .—ChriMian Register.

Roohksteb, Dec. 10, 1867. { 
Gold sold yesterday at 136$f. Speculators have done 
what they could to manipulate the market for a rise, 
but without much success. Two things arc In th« way ; 
foreign exchange Is abut <lant and low, so there is no de¬ 
mand for gold for shipment; and the gold payments of 
January will amount to nearly $30,000,000. The bears, In 
view of these facts, have the advantage, and the people 
do not regret It. 
There Is very little change to notice in the money- 
market, cither at the east or west. The Boston market 
is perhaps a little caster; rates of interest continue firm 
and high in New York, particularly for commercial peo¬ 
ple. Continual failures have created suspicion, and 
paper not known to be gilt-edged is not in favor. As we 
liuve heretofore Intimated there must be a good many 
mercantile failures about this time, and It Is hoped they 
will drop out without creating any unusual alarm or 
panic. The failures in the Interior so far as we learn, are 
not more numerous than usual at this season of ihr year- 
The extreme cold weather of the lost few days ha» sus¬ 
pended canal navigation. It la possible a sndden change 
of weather may Clear the canal of icc, but at the present 
writing the indications are not favorable. The low state 
of the water for some weeks seriously impeded naviga¬ 
tion, aud in consequence there are many loaded boats 
nnable to reach tidewater. The property In the boats 
detained is variously estimated at from $1«,000,000 to $20,- 
00()„000 in value. ProbAbly the latter figure is too high 
but the amount is very large, and some of the property’ 
like apples and potatoes, must be greatly damaged by 
the frost. The detention will cause serious loss to many 
parties. A large quantity ol coal shipped to Rochester 
is now ico-bound. 
Wheat.— Prices have advanced a little during the 
week. Red wheat sold In this city yesterday at $2,50® 
$2,55. The eastern market lias been variable, but on the 
whole shows an advance. 
Sheep Pelts.— A very large number of pelts have 
been brought to this market recently. The best are 
selling at about $1,25. 
Wool.—T he New York market is firmer. The Boston 
sales last week were larger than the week previous, 
footing up 800,000 pounds. Prices ranged from 35 to 65 
cents for fleece. 
Dressed IIOGe.—The market last week ranged from 8 
to Sy, cents. Some large hog6 sold at a trifle higher to 
outsiders, but tbe market was not above the ontsidc 
figure. _

firm. Their plan is more satisfactory than "Presenta¬

Running West from Omaha 
ACROSS THE CONTINENT, 
ARE NOW COMPLETED. 
This brings the line to the ea#tern base of the Rocky 
Mountains, and it is expected that the track will be lai^ 
thirty miles farther, to Evans Pats, the highest point on 
the road, by January. The maximum grade from the 
foot of the mountain* to the summit ie bat eighty feet 
to ihe mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one 
hundred. Work in Hie rock-cutting* on the western 
slope will continue through the winter, and there is now 
no reason to doubt that the entire, grand line to the Pa¬ 
cific will bo open for bnaitier* In 1870. 
The mean* provided for the construction of this Great 
National Work arc ample. The United Stale* grants its 
Six Per Ceut. Bond* at the rate of from $16,000 to $48,100 
per mile, for which It takes a second lien a* Micnrtty, and 
receives payment to a large If not to the fall extentof its 
claim In services. These Bonds are issued as each 20 mile 
section 1* finished, and aJter It has been examined by 
United states Commissioners and pronounced to be in 
all respect# atlrst-class road, thoroughly supplied with 
depots, repair-shop*, stations, aud all the necessary roll¬ 
ing stock and other equipments. 
Tbe United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres 
of land to the mile, which will be a source of large rev¬ 
enue to the Company. Mach of tills land in the Platte 
Valley Is among the most fertile In the world, and other 
large portions arc covered with heavy pine forests and 
abound in coal of the liegt quality. 
The Compuny is also authorized to Issue its own First 
Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the Issue of the 
Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. 
Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholders, and de¬ 
liver the Bonds to the Company only as the work pro¬ 
gresses, so that they always represent an actual and 
productive value. 
The authorized capital of the Company i*One Hundred 
Million Dollars, ol which over five millions have been 
paid in upon tbe work already done. 
EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. 
At present, the profitsof the Company are derived only 
front its local traffic, but this is already much more than 
sufficient to pay the interest ou all the Bonds the Com¬ 
pany can issue, if not another mile were bnllt. It is not 
doubted that ’when the road is completed the through 
traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa 
clflc States will be large beyond precedent, and, as there 
Will be no competition, it CWU always be done^at profit 
able rates. 
It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is,in 
fact, a Govkknmf.nt Wobk, built under the supervision 
of Government officers, and to a large extent with Gov¬ 
ernment money, and that its bonds are issued under 
Government direction. It is believed that no similar se¬ 
curity is eo carefully guarded, and certainly no other is 
based upou a larger or more valuable property. As tbe 
Company’s 
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS 
are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE DOL- 
LAR, they are t he cheapest security in the market, being 
more than 15 per cent. lower than U. S. Stocks. They 
pay 
SLY PER CENT, ill GOLD, 
or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment. Sub¬ 
scriptions will be received in Rochester by the FIRST 
NATIONAL BANK, and in New York at the Company’s 
Office. No. 20 Nassau street, and by 
C’ONTINRNTAL NATIONAL BANK, NO. 7 Nassau St., 
Clakk, Dodge & Co., Bankebs, 51 Wall St., 
Unix J. Cisco A Sox, Baxkehs, No. 33 Wall St., 
and by the Ccimpany*B advertised A gents throughout the 
United States. Remittance- should be made tn drafts or 
other funds par in New York, and the bonds will be sent 
free of charge by return express. 
A NEW PAMPHLET AND MAP. showing the Pro¬ 
gress of the Work, Resources for Construction, and 
Value, of Bonds, may be obtained at the Company’s 
Offices or of its advertised Agents, or will be sent free
