Surratt was resumed this morning in the Criminal Court, before Judge Ficber, tne room being crowded long before the opening of the court. The jurors and prisoner were brought in at ten o'clock, and the Court was opened soon afterwards. Mr. Pierrepoint resumed his argument tothe jury. He said he would proceed with the tes- timony of John M. Lloyd, upon which he was commenting when the Court closed on Satar- dy. He then read the testimony of Lioyd, where be opened the case and found in ths package left by Mrs. Surratt a field glass, which was taken off by Herold on the night of the assassination He next referred to Lioyd telling Booth and Herold he was not Anxious to hear the news when asked by them, and said: It was strange that he (Lloyd) should speak so on the night of the murder. Why dia he say that! For the same reason Siven by the counsel the other day, He ex- pected to hear of the murder, and knew about it. He did knew Mrs. Surrat’s name would be brought in; he knew her so had secreted the arms in that roo be knew that Mre. Surratt told bim on that day to Dave those shooting irons ready, and likewise two bottles of whisky. Mr. P. next Teferred te Lloyd's testimony, where he stated he never tasted liquor when going before a court You know, gentlemen, if he was a sober man when you saw Bim on that witne: stand. 1 will show, you, gentlemen, the co nection of Herold wiih this prisoner and those carbines which they secretea there. I will show you from tbe testimony that Herold brought those arms to that hoase. The testi- mony of Lloyd was read relative to Herold stating he was compelled to go to T.B, to stow that be went there for the purpoze of bringing those arms to Lioyd’s Rouse. Mr. P. next read from the testimony of Weichman, showing where ‘he, [Weichman,} on Good Fri- day, at Mrs. surratt’s house, about half past two o'clock in ihe afiernoon, was told by Mrs. Surratt that she had received a letter trom Mr. Calvert, ana it was necessary for her togo in the country. She ‘gave him $10 to geva bugey. and as’ be was leaving the honse he met Booth, and after getting the buggy and retur: to the house, found Booth and Mrs. Surratt in conversation. As she was about te getin the buggy she said: «wait Mr. Weicbman, I must get those things of Mr. Booth,” and on tbe road to the country some pickets were seen near a blacksmith shop, and Mrs. Surratt inquired how long they would remain there. Upon being told they were withdrawn ebe said lam yery glad to hear 1 at,” and drove on. Mr. P. here read trom the testimony Mr. Collenback to show be finding of the fire arms at Lloyd’s house concealed in a partiuon. Mr. Thempson tells you further xbout these arms, He kept a lard Herold was there some time in ch, 1863, alone, with two carbines, a word, two double Darrel guns anda revolver. told Mr. Thompson he was going down on ng dacks, and said | there, but be did not = Herold took his guns and came wsbington.

What do your ‘honest minds ssy to it! What do you think abont | Herold, Mrs. Surratt, and her son Joho, were all entwined together in this mat er, aud the Knowledge of one was che knowl- ge ofall.

Surratt told Smoot if the ees knew what he was doing they would bhis neck. What did he mean!

B P. again read from the testimony of Weinman as to Surrait leaving here for Mon- treal om April 3d, and as to seeing Booth in Mrs. Surratt’s parlor on April 5th. Booth d,“Miss Ward, please Ie me age the ad- cress of that lady.” After Booth And Miss “ard bad gone, Miss Anna Surratt said, “Mr. Weichman, bere isa Jetter from brother John,’ d read the same. There was no lady men- hed im that letter. On the 1th of April th furnished the money to Mrs. Surratt for r to hires borse and buggy to go to thecoun- She wanted to meeta Mr. Nothey there. L ry Mr. P. continued reading from Weichman’s testimony: Ou the 3d of April Surratc left the house about 7 o'clock in the evening witn Wrichman; ate some oysters with Weichman, And told bim be was going to Montreal. He lett that might for Montreal. There was no evidence that he slept at his mother’s house tha: night. { call your attention to this, gen- liemen, to show you it was an impossibility for Susan Jackson to Rave seen him on that night There were no clothes lett there then r the wash, but I will show you when they were lett there, and about that han kercbief with John H.

Mr. P. nextread from the testimony of Weich- F: ap, relative to the conversation between him 4 Mrs. Surratt on the evening of April 14th as they were returniog from the country.

You hog betfer come at once; and another, “Get word to Sam to come on with or without him Wednesday morning. Wesell that day.” He bey" referred to the lever written by Sarratt to Weichman on the ith of November, 1964; Siso, the letter be sent to Atzerodt, and argued were allin the same band writing as the Surratt reemed to bave much skill in ard. cbangiug his band. Shortly atter Surratt’s in. tr uctton to Booth. be stated to Weichmanhe ss goingto Earope, as he was engaged in eot'ou speeniations; $3,000 bad been advan to by some elderly gentieman. The de- did uot bring this elderly gentieman. Why aid Surratt ate all thee things, it “was to divert the mind of his Searers from the resi business; which was this that Bocth ent:red ave any ol} boa Al he Wauica was the coin, of attempted to get was from | heart of that great and as ‘We pass tosnother point. In month of ‘may, the at Democratic Oomvention met im oO ton to nominate & crndidate for Presi. dent. Mr. Lincola had then been nominated by the other perty, over all his adversaries, ‘Those who were hostile to our Government succeeded in breasing up that (the Char! Convention. They wanted Mr. Liacela eleot- ed, so they could pave an excuse to turn tral. tors. They succeeded, and Mr. Lincoln was Glected. Then followed plots and plans. First they wanted to prevent his inauguration by force; they wanted Buchanan to resign, so that Breckinridge would be President and prevent the inauguration; bot Mr. Lincoln was iaau- guraied. Then what did they attempt ‘0 dot Various plots were formed. At first, ter plan was to kidnap the Presi- deut. ‘sney found that was impossioie and it was much easier to have bim killed This conspiracy commenced in 1963. That scheme of abduction was early abandoned, and then they attempted the plan for the mur- der of the ident and officers of the Uab- inet. They hoped by this the Government would be overthrown, and the great slave- holders would rule this country, as hereto- fore, with a rod of iron. The loyal ple rose in their might aud forbid it lostile were we to many acis of the Government, and when ons Were aroused, it was be- lieved that if Mr. Lincoln could be got out of the way the South wonld succeed, which Would bave reeulted in the loss of liberty to all of us. Now, in 1864, as early as the month of sak it was discovered that Mrs. MuUler- mond saw three men talking together, speak- tact the telescopic rifle. Another said, “His wife and little boy willbeslong.” Another said, «We will put them outof the way if ne: Who was this? Herold. You heard some ac- count given of him. Booth called kim an in- nocent boy. You will notice that Booth Wanted to take all the biame upon himself. He wanted to fight all of Gol. Conger’smen. He wanted to sell his life as dearly as he could His object was toshield all, he thonght he was eater than Brutus; a strange, wild notion e had after this great drama in which he hi been the bloody actor. Now, who was thi Herold? He was an humble and poor clerk im the drug store of Mr. Thompson. How happened he tobe brought into this conspiracy? Mr. Lincoln got his medicine at this drug store. if Herold could he got in, there might bé some chance to poison Mr. Lincoln. That is why he was brought in. He was discharged on July 4tb, 1864, and was in no employment atter that, but with Booth all the time, antil he was caught, put in irons, and finally disposed of by that Military Commission. At twelve o'clock the court took a recess for half an hour. ©n reassembling, at 12.30 0’ciock— Mr. Peirrepoint resumed his argument. He said: Gentlemen, I now come to 4 strange act in this dark drama; strange, though not new; 50 wonderful that it seems to come from be- yond the veil which separates us from death, ‘As 1 have already said, all goverament ts of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. The great ruler of all sends some shadowy warning when some great disaster is to befail @ nation. So was itin the days of Saal; so was it when the great Julius O:esar died; 80 was it when Christ was crucified, for the wife of Pontius Pilot said, “Have nothing to do with this just mvn, for I have suffered many thincs of bim in my dream;” so was it when Hevry the Fourth was assassinated; so was it before the bloody deed when Abraham Lincoln fell:and there isnot a single instance where the head of a Government has been assassinated that the as-assins have not all been caught and punished. It is @ terrible toing to fight tgainst God. No man has ever escaped. On the Mtb of April, 1965, Abraham Lincoin called together his Cabinet. He was in good spiri 5, but still upon his soul there lay aheavy glo m, and he said ‘lam very anxious to hear trym Sherman. I feel that some great disaster is coming upon us. Last night I was visited by a feartul dream. Before the battle of Ball Run; before the battle of Chancellorsville; this same distinet form came tome In my dream:” and the members ot tbat Cabinet who heard th t willnever forgetit. Ina few honrs, after ne did not hear irom Sherman, but the dream w's fulfilled and led bis spirit up toGod. 1 hold in my hand a letter, which is the letter Mrs Benson found im a railroad car, and this other letter in a female hand. You have seen them before. There is a remarkable history co: nected with this letter. Let us trace it, Mrs. Benson was in the city of New York riding in a railroad car in 1864: just atter the election of Mr. Lincoln as you will remember. Let us see what this woman says She js brought here from Canada; put upon th itstand and tells yeu ber simple tale. Myr. P. here read from the testimony of Mrs. Benson (for- merlp Mrs. Hudspeth) as to where she found the letter, and ber deseription of the parties Whom she no.iced in the car. Mr. P. here read the lettere, the first being the Charles Selby letter Gentlemen, you will begin to see whatis meant by changing plans. At one lume it was fixed that Payne should kill the President; at another time Herold was to do and finally Booth was t> doit. The cup failea them once; they changed their plang. Who is the English gentleman Harcourt? That was not Payne. Their plan was once 'o get introduced, and thea commit the deed. He next read the letter addressed to “dearest hua- bang,” and dated St Louis, requesting Louis to come home to bis heart-broken wife. The poor woman did not know he was in a plot to murder. Thereis truth there, gentiemen. The lettere were sent to President Lincoln. He paid co heed to them: he had received many threatening letters. When this letter came he ‘went over to the office of the Secretary of War apd Wwentin the privaie room. Mr Bradley.—I don’t like to interrupt Mr. Pierrepoint, but I beg you will coniine your- self to tne evidence. Mr. Pierrepoint.—It is merely the history of the letter Mr. Bradley —Go on. Mr, Pierrepoint resumed :— After the Presi- dent was murdered, the Secretary, to whom it had been referred, thought this letter nad something to do with the murder, and imme- diately sent to the President's office, where it was found in the private drawer of the Presi- dent, indorsed “Assassination” I bave told you, gentlemen, in relation to Booth’s place at ine ume, and to prove it will show you the evidence. Mr. P. here read from the testi- mony of Mr. Bunker as to Booth leaving here on November {ith and returning on tne 15th. He was in New York at the very time this letter was found. From 1°61, in the spring, the pian wae to murder Mr. Lincoln. They at one time thought to poison Bim, and again changed their plan. The change was that Booth should kil! the President at the theatre, and Payne was to kill the Secretary of State. The change of plan was as to the made of killing, and the man who should strike the fatal blow. Mr. P. next read from the testimony of Charles Dsweon, and said there was found in the hotel where Booth boarded this letter, ad- dressed to J. W. B. Mr. P. here read the jetter dated South Branch Hridge, Aprii 6, 1865, Who were Booth’s helpers in sinking the well? We bave one of those helpers on trial her You are told we have blood enough. This wretch did not sup the letter would Understood, 1f lost. Ehis fellow calls, Booth's letters Dighialu'in, and he does not write high- taiutin himself, Jake bad the funds, and Surratt took $70,000, and $30,000 of the funds to Jake. If they had succeeded, per- haps Jake would have divided the funds. Why did he want this letter burned? 1t lives, and cannot be blotted out. It lives, a terrible witness to this horrid crime. 1 come next to the evidence of Mr. Chester. He says the last time be saw Booth wason Friday. A vreek previous to the assassination, in New York city. I new come down to what occurred at Mrs. Surratt’s house on the night of the mur- der. Mr. P. here read from the testimony of Weichman as to the officers visiting the house on the night of the murder. Mrs. Surratt said, “For God's sake let the of- ficers in.” She expected the house would be searched. Why didshe? Because she had been with Lieyd that day,and asbort time before her son had left the house, What was the expression of Dr Webster when told the body of Dr. Parkman had been found? ‘Has itall been tound?” Hebad cat the body up, and involuntarily made this expression. Nobody doubted that Jobn Surratt was in the city that night. We are asked by the coun- sel why we did not put his friends on the stand to say they saw him here. We did not expect Dis friends to tell about it. They all knew he was bere. It was not doubted Anna Surratt began to weep. and said: “Ob! ms, just think of that man th) having beea here an bour before the time” She replied: “Anna, come what will, | thing John Wilkes Beoin only an instrument in the bands of t Almighty to punish this proud and Meentio people.” They bad wrought themselves up to that madness. Mr. #. next referred to the testimony of Col. Smith, as to tbe conduct of the inmates when Mrs. Surratt’s house was searched, and Mrs. Surratt asking leave to kee! down and say ber prayers. Alsv. &s to the appearance of Payne at Mrs. Surratt’s house, and his arrest there: and the exclamation of Mrs Surratt when she saw he: ‘ Refore God I do not know this man. 1 did not hire him to dig a ditch.” They saw Susan Ann Jackson there. The learned counsel has asked why it was not brought out what Susan Jackson said Did they not know that we did try to get it out, and they would mot let us. The counsel must have forgotten thie. When yon take a jong case, running through two months, it 1s not surprising that they sbouid forget. The Court ruled against us, and we could not get it out. I a to'bring in tbe written report made of the the examination. 1 bad the report in my hand Mr. Bradley objected, and the Court would not jet put itis. Mr. P. next reter@d to the uw testimony of Capt. Wormiskirk. Mrs. Sur. ratt eaia. “before God I donot yd this man,” Payne.” The Bible tells all that Aman has will begive for his lite” Haman pature is weak in euch instances. We are told she whispered to her daugbter, against whom I le net uiter ene word, After praying, Mrs. Surratt was taken out, and it to the srony ot Gol, Morgans who. w “amo at the mony ot organ, Bouse wb ithe search was made; Now, gentie- men, great many things have been goingon in (his brief ume, over which 1 bave passed. Per was Surrattadlthistims? tovell you that, Noman can be intwo Piacesat the seametime. Where washe? He assomewhere. Now, two points are axed, Gud about them there is nodispnte He lett Montreal on the 2th, and retarned on the 18th. Between that time all these things relating to this murder were done. Where was Jobn Surratt? Was he in Uanad! They could tell you where he was after the 18th. Oan’t they tell ns where he was bet ween the 12th and 18! ‘Where was their prisoner? Where was their client? He slept somewhere; be eat somewhere; saw somebody. They cai Bive us his place for five months, every day ‘and hour; vut on these days on which bangs the verdict for bis life they cant tell whore he was. Why can't they teil ue? Why do they throw a thick veli of night over those six awiul days? He knows wuere he was. He Knows every step'he took, and yet dors not tell us one of them. Dr. Bissell tells us one. 4 shall e him upin due time. The books of aay that when an 4 is attempted it mus’ proved beyond any possible question that the accused wes somewhere else. Have they sbown you where he was; in whose house he slept. ‘Now, let us cee if we can find out where he was. I am sure I do know where he was, and 1 am sure you will know where he Was. You will remember Mr. Du Barry was put on the stand and brought his records of the railroads between Elmira and Baltimore, to ehow that between Elmira and the city of ‘Washington the roods were terribla con. dition, im consequence of the freshets, Sar- ratt could not bave reached Washington on the 14th. You remember the senior coun- sel said they bad shown it to be & physical oe Sd that he should reach here on the 14th. Mr. P. here read from the testimony of Mr. DuBarry, and said:—I knew Sarratt came; be came here, and we had plenty of witnesses who saw him. Mr. Da’ or no train left Elmira afer 12 o'clock; bat a train did leave Elmira st 10.30 o'clock, and Surratt was in it, and we have ed it. The schedule was 8 o'clock. ypeciai train Jett at 10.30, and he came om that special train. Was Mr. DuBarry at Elmira on the 13th? He positively stated he was not. We will see what occurred atter this thing went into the newspapers. The testimony of Mr. Du Barry was againreferredto. When he was recalled, we bad put upon the stand the very engineer who ran this special train. Mr. bu Barry is recalled. He sayshe had promised to be in Elmira, and believer was. We had brought Surratt across the Ferry. The wit- ness Dhrone, and the learned counsel said “get away, | don't any more of you,” which my learned triend, Mr. Carrington, sald wasa piece of acting which surpassed anything Ed- win Forrest ever did. lt was shrewd and skillful in them not to cross-examine the wit- ness Dhrone, and the counsel deserve credit for it. Now let us eee what Mr. Du Barry enys after these things get juto ihe talking newspapers. You will remember when one morning 1 suddenly went out of the Court room, and 1 returned, Mr. Dubarry was with me, and he took that stand and told us thi ‘whole truth when his mind was refresbed. He came here and told us all the trath. I have no faultto find with him. My friends, physical impossibility is all vanished. Gentiemen, physical impossibilities always get ont of ihe way when thereis truth. Mr. P. next read trom the testimony of Mr. Koontz toshow the arrival of the trains here on the j4th. Mr. Bradley.—Now get to the barber shop by nine e’clock. Mr. Pierrepoimt—1 am going there so emcotbly that you willsee him shaved with- out aquiver. Mr. P. then read from the testi- mony of Mr. Sirayer. He was an engineer, and was in Elmira on the morning of the 13th. He Jeit Elmira for Williamsport with a spe- cial train. Mr. P. here referred to the map to show the route from Elmira to Baitimore. Mr. Strayer met Mr. Rogers, another con- ductor, twenty-five miles south of Elmira. A conversation tock place between Mogers and Strayer. These things are not strauge; they fare the ordinary thingsof life occuring where truth is. The special train was run jo take Mr. Du Barry to Elmiraon the 13th. Wehave nothing to -ay about Mr. Du Barry; he bas told the truth. He,next referred to the testimony of Mr. Rogers. He met Mr. Strayer on the 13th at ‘Vroy, at 1125a.m. Mr.Glines tells you ne eollected fares at the Ferry. He next read the testimony of Mr. Hepburn who was che train master. He tells you the construction trains had orders to carry passengers. The testi- mony of Mr. Westtall was Lere read to show the arrival of the trains from Elmira at Williamsport, and the man coming to him who was anxious to get through. I have proved to you that Dhrone was the ferryman. Now whaidoes he say! He tells you he was the ferryman on the 13th of April. He was on the Wilhomeport side, when a man asked to be ferried over. He bad a peculiar coat on. The man gave him 31 to take him over he remembered the prisoner, and the prisoner rememberea him. Mr. Bradiey tells the witness “I know you.” ‘Well, we have Surratt started ona train which could get him to Washington by ten o'clock on tbe morning of the latp. They had no wit- ness to dispute Westfallor Dhrone. They had no object to come here. We sent tor them, tound them, and brought them Rere. Now, gentlemen, we are on the road to the barber's, and he is here at the city of Washington at 10.5. An early witness in the cause. 50 early that they haa ample time to find ont if be was a good or a bad man What Does be tell us? Mr. P. here read from the testimony of Wood, the barber, and said he knew Bcoth; he bad seen the prisoner at the bar before: having shaved and dressed his hair at Booker’s barber shop. You saw that man; you heard his testimony, and you did believe him every man of you. Now the phy- sical impossibilities are out of the way, and ‘we will come to the moral. Mr. Pierrepoint here announced that he could not close this evening, a8 he was getting hoarse. Judge Fisher asked how much time he would occupy before closin Mr. Pierrepoint said he thought he would close in an hour, and at three o'clock the Court took a recess until ten o'clock to-mor- Tow morning. ——_+—___ Tus RIVER Front, August 5.—Harrey’s Wharf.—Satled—Schooner Roanoke, captain Barrett, Georgetown, to load with coal.

The ermometetat Franklin & Oo.’s imdfoated 83 degrees at 10 o’clock, 85 at 12 o’¢lock, and 96 at 3 o’clobk, Pp ot her lege lord, lett removed with @ servant to a bereelf in the immediate vicinity o residence. On last Thursday event; learned that direct proof of busband’s fulness could be secured, and laid ler pi accordingly. Seereting herself under the bed. she ina few moments saw her husband enter the room. accompanied by @ stoutisn woman of (be Celie persoasion. Theoccurrences that followed were* of « character to confirm what ‘deem stated. The taithful spouse, emereirg from her pidinarpiecs, confronted tbe guilty comple, snd terrible invec- tives de: to know the reason of this most unseemly conductyand pitchin, into her rival in the affections of busband, caught her by the Bairand mauled her at 4 terrible rate, around the room, the husband in the meantime endeavoring to pacify her by s'ating “ that he wassosick he couid hardiy stir, and that he had secured the woman’s servi- ces to wait wpon him. &c.” The wife however was incredulous and pammelied away vigo- riously, until at lasttbe guilty paramour es- caped with the loss of & net. The police being raised. soon aroused the neigh- bors, & (hed collected around the hon: tee the ‘begged bis wife «not to speak so loud, that all the neighbors would know every- thing.” She replying ‘that she wanted millions to know it.” No police appearing (it being about 10 p. m.,) the wife retired to her home, and he to the couch from which he had been so unceremoniously ejected. ‘The affair has created a greatsensstion in the Sixth ward. —__+——. SERr0vus Accipant.—Mr. Rebart Radcliffe, aresidentot Nanjemoy, Ubaries county, Mary- 1, was run over last evening about nine o'clock by car No.5, of the Metropolitan rail Tead, near the corner of N Jersey avenue and Detreet. Offcer Cailatan, who was near, immediately had the wounded man removed to the station-bouse at the City Hall, and Drs. Bond and Herbert were sammoned. The elbow joint was badly crashed, and it was thought that it would be necessary to ampa- tate the limb. He was removed to the Ameri- can House, where a consultation was held. He was subsequently conveyed to Providence Hospital, where his arm was amputated at 1 o’clock to-day, by Dr. Bond. It has been stated that the accident hap. pened in consequence of Mr. Radoliffe falling while Scoop ee to getoff the car. Thisisa mistake. He was lying near the track in an intoxicated condition, with his arm over the track, and in consequence of thé darkness at that point—near D street—the driver did not see him. — ConcEALED WEAPONS—An Escape.—Joseph Duncan came before Juatice Walter on Satur- day, charged with carrying concealed weap- ons, for which be was fined $25, and in default of payment sent tothe workhouse. It appears tbat this man stood upon his dignity when taken in cbarge by the officers, and told them they did not know who'they had bold of, and that when he got to the station-house he would show them. Immediately on his arrival there he was recognizea by Officer Gates as Duncan, tbe burglar, who has been arrested several times in the First Ward on the charge of rob- bery, and was told that be was a thief, when he immediately succumbed, and was very humble. He was placed in the fourth story of the workhouse, from which place he escaped last night. He was in trons at the time. and it 1s almost a miracle how he gotaway. His pic- ture stands in bold relief in the rogue’s gallery at Metropolian Police headquarters, and the officers are in close parsuit of Bim. —._—_ Rap ow THE Fancy.—Abont 1 o'clock San- day morning, a detail of police officers of the Seventh precinct by direction of Lieut. Eck- loff, made a sudden raid upon the house kept by Lucinda Johnson, (colored,) in Marble al- where they captured the landlady and two colored girls named Harriet Hilland Mary Smith, besides Mary Decker, John Mangrun, Chas.

The whole possee were taken to the Station house and were locked up until the arrival of Justice Waiter, who com- mitted the keeper of the house to jail for Court; the two giris and the two first named men were sent to the workhouse in default of the amount of fine imposed; Ayer was fined #5.and Warner $10.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an un- broken line across the continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer to the public, The first ques- tion asked by prudent investors is, ‘Are these Donds secure #? Next, Are they a profitable investment ¥” To reply in brief: Ist. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future business event can be. The Government grant of over twenty million acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it . Oue-fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to Le laid at the rate of two miles aday. 2d. The Union Pacific Ralroad bonds are issned upon what promises to be one of the most profit able lines of railroad in the country. For many. years it must be the only line connecting the At- lantic and Pacitic; and being without competition it can maiptain remunerative rates. 3d. 376 miles of this road are finished, and fally equipped with depots, locomotives. cars, &c., and two trains are daily running each way. The ma terials for the remaining 141 miles to the eastern base {the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several times gr-ater than the gold in. terest upon the First M Bonds upon such sections. and if wot another mile of th were Duilt, the part dy completed would not only Pay interest aud expenses, but be profitable to the Canpany. sth. The Union Pac ssucd only as the road progr can never bein the market unless they represent a lona fide propert 6th. Their amount is strictly limited by law sum equal to what is g Aby the United St Government, and for which it takes a second lien as its security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $15,09 per mile. 7th. The fact that the United States Government considers a second lien upon the road a good in- Vestnent, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien) may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securitics than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property as this the very best security in the world, and whosell their Governments to re-invest in these Donds—thus securing a greater interest. 9th. Asthe Union Pacific Railroad bonds are of- ed for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and ued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being 15 per cent. less than U. 8 Stocks. loth. At the current rate of premium on gold they pay OVER NINE PER CENT. INTEREST. ‘The daily subscriptions are already large, and they will continue to be received in Washington by the FIRST NATIONAL BANE, NATIONAL BANK OF THE REPUBLIC, and RITTENHOUSE, FOWLER & CO., and by BANKS AND BANKERS generally throughout the United States, of whom maps and aescriptive pamphlets may be obtained. They will also be sent by mail from the Company's Office, No. 40 Nassau street, New York, on application. Sub- cribers will select their own Agents in whom they have confidence, who alone will be responsible to them for the safe delivery of the bonds. JOHN J.
