Rail Road

Meotin?.

Pursuant to call, tho citizons of Montgomery County mdt. in convention, May 25, 1SG7, to consider tho subjcct of the Indianapolis, Crawfordsviile and Danville rail road.

On motion, Maj. 1 C. ELSTON was chosen President of the meeting, and -JOHN L. CAMPBELL, Secretary. invitation of thd..meeting, Col. ilson, President, of said rail road, proceeded to.stato tho condition 4ind prospects of the enterprise.

The great importance of the road, as a link in the great Eastern and "Western line of traffic and travel, was forcibly presented. lie reviewed tho his--\tory of tho effort—including the fail'irro of the contract of II. C. Lord—and the reorganization of the company in

The statement was made, that in the opinion of President Willson, the parties ready to contract for the construction were already secure, and it remains for the people to do what they •had formcrl}* agreed to do—with the additional item of transferring their original subscriptions to the new company.

Tho original subscriptions wero made payable to II. C. .Lord-or assigns, and havo been properly and legally assigned by Lord to tho Indianapolis, .Crawfordsviile and Danville rail road Company. These subscriptions do not terminate at any particular dato, but aro duo and must be paid when the road is built.

Tho presont effort of the directors of tho company contemplates tho raising of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, by transferring tho old subscriptions, and securing new ones,—tho securing tho right of way from White river to Danvillo, Illinois, and tho purchase of tho road bed, now partly completed between Crawfordsviile and Covington,—when theso things are done, Col. Willson assures tho peoplo that tb^ rail road will bo speedily constructed! Col. Willson reported* that earnest and enthusiastic meetings had been held along the entire lino from Danville to j3feinapolis. Fountain County will that is required of her, with several thousand dollars additional. Marion, Hendricks & Boone

Tire aroused, and will do their whole duty... PETER S. KENNEDY, Esq. next addressed tho meoting. Tho speaker presented interesting statistics from the Agricultural .Reports of the United States, showing the great value of rail roads to a community—especially to an agricultural people. Prom these reports, it appears that for tho want of proper facilities for transportation, millions of dollars are lost yearly to our peoplo by low prices. Eail Eoads iiot only give advantagos'for transportation, but they also promote the establishment of important manufactories. Mr. Kennedy presented forcibly tho importance of the rail road, by showing the draining process now gping on east, north and south of Us— better markets being built jup at I^a--fayette, Thorntown and Gfeencastltv',-

Tho life-blood is oozing out/and'to this wo must put a check—arfd the only euro is by building up.Tmr own county, and adding to our fatalities by tho new rail road, and by gaod turnpikes to our county scat. 4 Eail Uoads are important in a^higlier sense as a channel of ideas, ami on this account, a community so intelligent 4is ours, should seek for furthered higher development.

ALEXANDER THOMSON, Esq. -gave a legal opinion, affirming tho validity of tho subscriptions originally'mado to H. C. Lord or assigns, and tho assignment of .the same.

JOHN M". BUTLER, Esq. also concurred in the -opinion expressed by Mr. Thomson. Mr. Butler dwelt at some length on the local importance of tho

road,

especially in view of other im*-. provements now being made by iioigh-

boring counties. On motion Maj.- Elston, D. Ilartcr and P. S. Kennedy were appointed a committee to prepare a' statement of nffairSj publish the same, and also to secure the services of suitable persons, to procure the additional subscriptions asked of this county.

Tlic Indianapolis, CrawfordSTillC and MaiaviUc Railroad.

At a meeting of the citizens of Crawfordsviile and vicinity,'held on tho 25th inst., the undersigned were appointed a committeo to present to tho people along the line of fho contemplated Indianapolis, Crawfordsviile and DanvilloEailroad, an address, Betting forth tho prospects, iftvantagee, &c., of said road, and urging prompt and energetic action,inv its behalf. .While it may seem to many an unnecessary, if not an absurd work at this age of the world, to present arguments and facts to prove tho utility of channels for the transportation of'of Montgomery to Greencastle, where our surplus produce t.o market, wo'they have direct communication with

are led'to believe, from tho little interest manifested in this great enterprise,that many who would be greatly benefitted by it, have not given the subject, that thorough consideration its importance demand Wo are glad to bo ablo to say that there is no longer a reasonable doubt of the early completion of the road, if those who would enjoy its greatest advantages will aid to a reasonable extent in its construction.

Ours is a great grain-growing State its surplus wheat, corn, barley, oats, itc., amounting yearly to man}T millions of dollars. Without markets at home, or convenient means of transporting our produco abroad, the formers of tho State are not in a situation to renlizc the full benefit of their labor, and hence millions of dollars are yearly lost to them, that a small amount from each one, invested -in public improvements, would save.

only $1,0S, a difference of SG cents to the bushel. ..The same year the price of Indian corn, another one of our great staples, in Massachusetts was 61,20, whilo in Indiana it was only GS cents, a difference of 52 cents to the bushel. Tho quantity of wheat raised in Indiana that year, was something

•corn to market from many neighborhoods in the State. The State of Massachusetts is covered with a net-work of railroads, so that almost every farmer in the Stato lives convenient to a depot, and besides, the whole crop of wheat grown there is consumed at home, and the cost of tronsportation abroad is saved to tho producer.

Yv'ith a largo consumption of our produce at homo, and ample facilities for gathering it together from every point in the State, ^re can perceivo no reason why wheat and co2''1 should sell for less in Indiana than in Massa-. chusetts. If our formers, then, would enjoy tho full benefit they might derive from their labor, they must build railroads these will bring manufactures markets will grow up in our midst, and tho millions of dollars now lost for want of home markets and means of transportation, will bo saved. T£c amount that mightJSJjis be saved to»the «grain-growers W Indiana in one year, as shown J)y tho statistics above- given, would siifllco. to build a dozen railroads from the Center to tho bjrders of tho State. Tho report to which we "havo referred'shows most conclusively that tho prices for all kinds of farm produco in the several Sfatcs, keep pace with- their railroad,. iTianufacturing and commercial- enterprises..* So much on tho subject of Railroads genen^^*

But_the pcop^^^ME the line of the Indianapolis, Cra^^ffasville and Dan,.villo Railroad aro much more deeply Xntcrested i& this enterprise than is indicated by this genoral view of the 'importance of railroads. Their peculiar situation and surroundings render this road not only a convenience, but a necessity/: n-m

Without itj tho business of Montgomery county will ultimately bo transferred to other points the other portion of country through which it runi'be left without business, and its immenso agricultural and manufacturing resources remain undeveloped forwer. Thorntown, in Boone county, is now, on account of its superior market, draining the trado of almost one-fourth of Montgomery county.— The people of that place havo had the good sense to tap one of the best graingroiVing neighborhoods in the county with a good gravel road, and so far as businesses concerned, tho whole northeastern portion of our county is,already detached and added to Boone. Like causes are draining tho business from other portions of our county. Tho people of Greencastle are now constructing a turnpike from that place to the southern border of our county.-!: Withouc the east and west railroad, this must ultimately draw the trade of all the southern portion

A table, constructed by Lewis Bollman, of tho Agricultural Bureau at Washington, and printed in tho "Eeport of tho Commissioner of Agricul- much worse one. This is the only turo for tho year 186o,-' shows the fol- opportunity, in' all probability that lowing facts, to which wo invite the the people of those other counties will earnest attention of our farmers and over havo for scouring a railroad, and .grain-growers.: ,.!. if they do not avail themselves ol' it,

In tho year 1SG3, tho average price: the immense wealth now lying within of wheat in Massachusetts was $1,9-11 their grasp will vanifh forever. And per bushel, while in Indiana it was hence we feel that in urging the peo-

over twenty millions of bushels, and of by additional subscriptions, wo aro asIndian corn, over fifty-four and a half snrcd that arrangements will be made millions of bushels. At tho rate at to complete the road at once. Those which thec:o two staple products of our who propose to build tho road only State sold in Massachusetts, they wo'd ask tho amount that was to bo paid to have yielded to our farmers in this Mr. Lord. Whenever this is secured single year, over forty-six millions o/j the work will be begun. Committees dollars more than they did. What is ^will soon call on tho peoplo along the tho cause of this difference between line of the road for subscriptions, and the price of these products hero and those having already subscribed, if in Massachusetts? It is not all accoun-! they feel disposed to do so, Would simted for by the cost of transporting! plify tho business by altering their grain from any grain jriarko.t in^ndi- subscriptions, making them payablo to ana to tho Eastern States. It is 'feuo, the present company instead of to Mr. something must be deducted for this, Lovd. Although not at all necessary but a large portion of tho difference to the validity of tho subscriptions, must be attributed to other causes,

tho East, and where infant manufactures aro being rapidly developed. Causes already in operation will throw the trade of tho north and west portions of our county- to Lafayette, should our cast and wost railroad prove a failure. And thus will Montgomery county be deprived of its trade ami business, Crawfordsviile be reduccd to a mere village, without cither trade or manufactures, and the grain-growers of the county compelled •In gram some other quarter. Every man

"Tho defendant, Plo,. by virtuo of his rights under the statue, filed an affidavit in the Criminal Court-this morning alleging-lho urwi:ie prejudice or bias of the Judge. This of course stopped all proceedings until another Jud^e con bo summoned to try tho cascT Judge Chapman, of Indianapolis, we understand, has been summoned to preside at tho trial, but we are not advised of his acceptance.''

It would bo a difficult matter to invent a more complete device for bringing courts into contempt, than the right given by our stntute, as construed by the late Supreme Bench, t& an accused party to disqualify a Judge from trying him, by merely filing his unsupported affidavit that the Judgo is biased or prejudiced against him. If un upright, conscientious .Judge rules against a prisoner on some of the many motions which usually precede an. important criminal trial, tho defendant concludes that ho will at least Ioso nothing by getting rid of him so ho makes affidavit that tho Judge is prejudiced against him, and forthwith the judicial authority is suspended until some other Judge can be found, when the same process can be repeated, unless the tern. Judgo secures a more favorable consideration from the prisoner. In ninetyrnino cases in a hundred such affidavits have no foundation in truth, but. aro interposed in order to secure delay, or to get rid of a Judge who has a reputation for enforcing the laws against crime. It is perhaps advisable to permit a change of venue on the ground of excitement or prejudice against the accused in the community, for popular feeling some times runs so strongly against a prisoner, that there is danger that it may have its influence in the jury box but to clothe criminals with the power to drive judges from the bench, at pleasure, is not calculated to impress the public with

very extravagant es

WASHINGTON, May 21.—tho Booth Diary is published. It is 9imply a dedcfenco of his action. lie says, under date of April 1^ and 14: "Until tou-day nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our Country's wrongs. For six months wo have worked to capture Lincoln, but our cause being almost lost, something decisive and groat must be dono but its failuro was owing to others, who did not striko for their country with a heart. I struck boldly, and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through, a thousand of his friends, and was stopped, but pushed on. A Colonel •was at his side. I shouted, "Sic%emper hjrmini's'', before I fired. In jumping I broke my leg. I passed all his pickets rode sixty miles that night, with tho bono of my leg tearing tho flesh at every jump. I can never repent this act. Though wo hated to kill him [Lincoln] our country owed all her troubles to him, and God .simply made me the instrument of his punishment. The country is no w—1SG5—what I havo loved. I caro not what bo comes of me I have no desire to outlive ray country.

Wo clip tho folio wing very sensible article from tho Madison Courier, which we commend to tho attention of "fond parents" in this latitude.

Tlie practice of allowing boj's to spend their evenings in the streets is one of tho most ruinous, dangerous and mischievous things possiblo. Nothing so speedily and surely makes their courso downward. They acquire under cover of night, an unhealthy state of mind, vulger and profane language, obscene practices, erimkial sentiments, and a lawless, riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in the streets after nightfall that boys generaly acquire an education and tho capacity to become rowdy, dissolute and criminal men. Parents, do you believo it? 11 you do, keep your children at homo at night, and see that their homo is pleasant and profitable.

A Washington, telegram says: Senator Wilson returned from tho South this morning, and left for Boston this evening. Ho.has been thirty-one days from here. During that timo ho has made twenty-four political speeches, besides half a dozen more on tomperanco, etc. Ho comes back in good health, and reports himself greatly pleased with tho trip. IIo says he was everywhere courteously received, and is more than ever convinced that th'o Republicans can carry a majority of tho Congressional Districts in the South. He will urge that tho funds of our Committees be expended mainly in paying speakers, and organization, rather than sustaining newspapers or circulating expensive documents, and thinks it would bo well to give employment to a number of colord men of .trood local standing.

My physician —one of the best in this part of the country—exhausted all his skill" aad the Materia Mediv.a to expel the worms, and entirely failed to bring any. I thought "John Bull''' could do it, and gave tho child the contents of three boxe.t, .in triple doses, night and morning, wiih happy results. "Tho child has not had a spasm for over three months, and instead of the bloated mass that he was, ho is now well and hearty. ''John Bull did it.".

Yours, trulv, r. M."L. DUPLAN.

DR. JOHN BULL,

Manufacturer and Vender of the celebrated

SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP

FOR THE CURE OF

AGUE AND FEVER.

—OR—

Cliills and Fever-

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever ofTered to the public, for the safe, certain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever) whether of short or long standing. lie refers to.the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to thtHhith of tho assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are stridtly-followed and carried out. In a great many oases a-singlo dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the-discase has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing eases. Usually, this medicino will, not rcquiro any aid to keep the bowels in ,good ordor should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S

VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS

will be sufficient.
