THE ItKASOX WHY.
Two or three weeks ago, we received from Albift, Iowa, a communication signed "W. R. X., intended I'or publication in the JOUIINAL. According to our rules, which require the name of the author full, and not the initials, the manuscript was rejected. This week we have received the following:
ALMA. Iowa, June 1. ISO!).
To the Editors t'rawf'ordsville Journal: it fccoins very strange to me that you would give space in your paper for letters from other portions of the .State? of Iowa, and not extend the same privilege to uie and my friends who are readers of your paper. Of course it is all right. We think we have a good county one ihat is improving rapidly, and our object in writing was to impart this information to our many friends in old Montgomery county.
Yours Respectfully, W. R. KKLSEY.
Til answer to the above we have a
few words to say. On our table, now, are three letters, just received, intended for publication, one from Iowa, a second from Nebraska, and a third from Mississippi. All of these compliment the
JOUKNAL,
for
which we feel very thankful, and all
In conclusion, we beg of our Albia correspondent, as of all others, not to be hast}' in condemning us if we cannot lind space for all communications, however worthy. Above all, don't waste time in preparing a communication to which only initials or some fictitious name are to be attached.
THE. WAY TO TIIJE SOUTH.
Dr. T. W. Florer, of Marion, Mississippi, has sent us a letter from C. E. Rushing, Vice President of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, coveringletters of inquiry concerning the rates of travel for persons desiring to locate in that State, from which we get the following, for general information Tickets willjje furnished at two cents per mile, to Marion. Half rates will be charged on furui tuvc and moving effects. Persons desiring to see the country further south will be furnished with passes.
This road runs from Columbus, Ky., to Mobile, Alabama. The coontry is described as rich and productive, and land is said to be cheap, but we cannot say whether or not the desire for Northern settlers is very general. A letter from Dr. Florer is published on another page, though we can assure the writer that Montgomery county has changed considerably since the times o, which he speaks, and gives promise of still greater changes. The charge against Brown's Valley would be speedily resented by the enterprising farmers of Brown township, who are nowr doing their best with their rich farms,
O
and demanding the construction of a new railroad, that they may the more readily dispose of their surplus products.
Miss AMANDA CRAIG, in the case of Craig
vs.
Sprague, for breach of prom
ise of marriage, which has been on trial at Wheaton during the past week, has obtained a verdict for $100,000, the amount of damages claimed by her.
WAS IT t'OSrSTITl'TIOJtfAJ/*
D. E. Williamson, Attorney General of the State, sent to the Auditor of State, on Monday, his opinion of the constitutionality of the Specific Appropriation bill and other aots passed by the Legislature after the resignation of the Democratic members. The accompanying argument is divided into two parts. The first proceeds on the assumption that the Courts will not presume against the validity of the acts., no irregularity appearing on the i'ace of the act. The second, admitting that the Courts may take notice of such irregularity and allow proof of it. is similar to Ihe argument of Senator Morton on the validity of the ratiiichtion of the Fifteenth Amendment. The Attorney General closes by declaring his opinion that the Spcci'ic Appropriation bill and other measures passed b_y the House, after the resignation of the forty.two members, was in accord with all the requirements of the Constitution, and ought be obeyed constitutional laws.
A\ TUEV UK TAXIED?
Messrs. Elston Son. 3Jankers of this city, having refused to pay the taxes on the U. S. Treasury notes, or
ot them contain glowing accounts ol greenback, held by them on the first the advantages alfordcd to suthi in day of January, 1808, the Treasurer, their particular locahtie the spirit that prompts them in this, we commend them. Wc ime ic tired
under the advice of Attorney General Williamson and by direction of the State Authorities, has levied apun
to it more than once as the secret ol and distrained, and proposes to sell the immense growth of the Western States during the last ten years. A short time ago, wc published a letter from Iowa, illustrative of this characteristic of the people of the West, and we would gladly publish more of them if we had the space. It is es pecially gratifying to see such evidence of a desire to improve in the South as is furnished by a letter from a subscriber in Mississippi. We repeat, our own people would do well to imitate them, but if they will not, vre are not unwilling that they should hear from places where thers is life— where the people are not ashamed of the country they live in.
the safe in their Bank to satisfy said assessment. Of course an attempt will be made to enjoin the sale, and this will raise an important issue for the decision of the Courts, that is.

State and Municipal
KEN'TL'CKY Republicans have taken a very bold stand, and deserve success. The spirit of the part}' is revealed in the speech of Hon. Jas. Speeu, of Louisville, President of the State Convention lately held at Lexington. He urged the Conventioh, standing, as it did, under the shadow of the old prejudices aud false sentiments which lingered among the popple of Kentucky, to say that all men must and should be free. Equality mustbe the chief corner stone of the Republican part}". There is no room for neutrality on questions of right and justice. The resolutions aclopted by the Convention are in harmony with the above. If the Republicans of Kentucky work upon such principles as are set forth in their platform and in the utterances of such men as Speed and Wads worth thev cannot fail to arrow.
'-THERE is a dearth of political news'' is the report that comes from Washington. Two State Conventions, in Tennessee and Kentucky, have lately assembled and dispersed without making any new issues. Pennsylvania is soon to follow, when it is supposed the Republicans will
take some decided stand on the Ala
barna claims question. Beyond this question, if it is possible to divide the American people on it. and the Tariff duestion there is no prospect of any
new issues of national interest, the ]10 strength and durability best thins that can be
can tie clone, mean
time, is for everybody to get out of debt and make ready for anew start when the necessity for division has come.
THE monthly debt statement was furnished promtly by Mr. Boutwell at the beginniug of the month, and has been studied with more than the usual interest, to see what is the result of the Treasury policy lately adopted. The aggregate decrease of the debt, for the month, was $13,384,777, and the total since the first of March more than twenty millions.
David G. Rose, of Indianapolis, late postmaster of that city, and State Marshal, died at Washington City last Tuesday.
