IS understood that the grain mer chants of several Eastern cities, who have suffered heavily by loss of grain .during transportation, are about to prosecute the railroad companies unless the I loss is made good. They will test the re 'sponsibility of the companies in the courts. It is not believed that by refusing to receipt for the number of pounds re ceived the companies thereby release themselves from responsibility to deliver what they receive, subject only to the usually allowed shrinkage of five bushels no the thousand.

has been interviewed

on the subject of the Presidency, and is of the opinion that the Democrats ought to nominate a moderate Republican, who can secure the anti-GRANT Republican vote, as well as the entire Democratic support. The Chicago "Republican" thinks that would be very wise, if it were not impossible. A Democratic conven tion is not likely to nominate a moderate Republican. It had a good chance to do that in 1868 but it lacked the element of wisdom. There were too many Democratic candidates who preferred their own nomination and defeat to anybody else's nomination and succeeds. And it is safe to say as to all the stupidities of the

Democratic party, that what has been done will be done again. To doublediscount all their former blunders, is the invariable rule of Democratic conventions. 5x8 ifM i- l&S .*-»•

The observance of this centenary

will form a pleasant epoch in our history as an intellectual people. The Philadelphia "Inquirer" mentions this as the first occasion on which we pause in our career of inventing, railroad building, wilder ness subduing and .money getting to commemorate the birthday of a man who did none of these things. Two years ago we paused tor an hour or two, on a bright September day, to remember that

HUM

BOLDT had lived and wrought in the cause of science, but then science is something that the practical American mind can readily appreciate, for it aids in bor. ing tunnels, in developing mineral and metallic resources, and above all, in economising labor. But the genius, whose advent on earth we celebrate on the 15th inst., achieved nothing more practical than writing the "Waverley Novels," and a large number of poems, of which few are familiar to the ordinary readers of our generation, save the "Lady of the Lake" and "Marmion," and perhaps a half dozen Bhort lyrics, Yet this matter of prose fiction, this father of the modern novel, has many claims to our regard. To-day his matchless romances are read with pure delight by young and old, and the age of chivalry is to be seen by modern eyes in no more graphic pictures than those which adorn the pages of "Ivanhoe" and the "Tales of the Crusaders. In this age of flashy and demoralizing popular literature, there is cause to gratefully remember the mind that shadowed forth the characters and incidents of the "Waverley's."

The Contemplated Railroad to On cinnati. EDITOR EXPRESS:

The construction of

the contemplated railroad from Cincinnati to Terre Haute is important toTerre Haute, in many respects but, chiefly, because it would open up additional coal fieldB inClay county,and thus give important aid to its manufacturing enterprise. Whether, however, it is best that it should be done by the organization which is now soliciting from the city an appropriation of the $100,000 heretofore granted for alike improvement, is a question which deserves the most serious reflection. Without indicating any opposition to the enterprise in any form, it mayjbe well to consider thegronnds upon which this appropriation is asked. 1. It is said that if this road is built, it will bring back lo Terre Haute a trade which it has lost by means of the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad. But is this, by any means, clear? Undoubtedly," it will not lessen the facilities of transportation now furnished by the Indianapolis & Vincennes road, in the sections through which it passes. It will still continue its operations—and if the new road is built they will be competitorsone drawing the trade to Indianapolis, and the other to Terre Haute. The result of this competition, therefore, cannot be anticipated. It may or may not restore to us the lost trade —and in this view, the argument in favor of the new road, under the new organization, is not fully sustained. But it is further weakened by the fact that, by means of it, Cincinnati will become another bidder for this trade, and may draw to it pome portion of it, which, even with Indianapolis as the only competitor of Terre Haute, might find its way here. 2. It is thought that it will aid the manufacturing enterprise of Terre Haute, by furnishing greater facilities for obtaining coal. Coal is now obtained here cheaper than at any other manufacturing point, except Brazil, and it is to the advantage of Terre Haute that this condi tion of its coal market shall continue. It is not likely that it will be changed, in so far as ordinary bituminous coal is conconcerned —for we can obtain always a plentiful supply of this from mines almost in sight of the city. But the ques tion assumes a different aspect, when we consider the absolute necessity of block coal in the manufacture of iron. Suppose, then, the new road be opened from Cincinnati to Terre Haute, what will likely be its effect upon the price of block coal here. Demand and supply regulate prices, as a general rule but every body understands, at the same time, that this rule is subject to another of controlling influence —that capital attrabts both commercial and manufacturing enterprise. May not, then, the capital of Cincinnnti so increase the demand and ere ate such a disproportion between it and the supply, as to raise instead of lower the price of coal at the mines, and, conse quently, at Terre Haute? This is worthy of consideration. If block coal is necessa' ry to the manufacture of iror, and it and iron ore can. be obtained at Terre Haute cheaper than at Indianapolis or Cincinnati, (which is, undoubtedly the case,) then it is important to the consumers of articles manufactured out of iron that they should be made- at the point where they can be made as the least cost. Terre Haute is now that point, and there Is no reason why, if it maintains its present position, it may not become one of the best manufacturing points in the west,—for it has the advantage of every other point in the fact of its being equally accessible to all the great commercial cities of the west. If, therefore, Terre Haute had a road leading, through the lower coal fields of Clay county to Bloomfield, we should be able to keep the price of coal within reasonable bounds, and, then, if block coal should become a necessary article of exportation the profits of transportation would be secured to her own citizens. This, of course, would not be the oase, if the transportation should be given to a company whose most important interest lay in Cincinnati, entirely east of the coil fiields. 3. It is insisted that we shall obtain stone at less prices than is now paid. It is certainly true that there is an abundant supply of limestone and sand-rock along the line of the new road. But, the fact is not to be overlooked that the difference in the price of undressed rock, wherever obtained, is so inconsiderable as to be no object whatever. The principal cost of building stone is in the labor put upon it so that, although it would be desirable for u.s to secure this stone if we, can, yet it is of no consequence to us whether we secure it by the contemplated new road, or by a road to Bloomfield— such as that to which the $100,000 was originally appropriated. 4. It is also supposed that this new line will develop a heavy trade in timber. This is not sufficiently certain to make it a controlling object. There is but little pcplar, and less walnut, in the region through which it would pass. The oak is extremely valuable but already there is, within the present line9 of the transportation, a sufficiency of this kind of timber to supply the market of Terre Haute for a great many years.

These statements are not made from any feelings of hostility to the contemplated new road. The object of them is to induce due consideration of all the arguments employed in its favor so that then we may be able to decide intelli gently, whether it would be better to have the $100,000 expended by that organization, or to arrange another, which would secure the same advantages to Terre Haute, while, at the same time, it would remain under the management of our own citizens. In other words, these suggestions are made with the view of enabling us to decide, whether it would be best to spend and control oar own money, or give it to others, from abroad, that titer may spend and control it.s

There is another' "suggestion which should not be omitted. The contemplated road is proposed to be built, not merely from Cincinnati to Terre Haute, bnt with

"a branch through Greene and Sullivan counties to Merom,

the Wabash river."

Te this, of itself, there cannot be, and is not, any reasonable objection. But it is well to consider now, before committing oarselvos to this improvement, whether this branch to Merom may not invite another road through Illinois to St. Louis,

so as to make a nearer and more direct road from Cincinnati to St. Louis. If it •hould, then the direct trade between these two cities would be carried on without passing Terre Hante—which would deprive us of the benefits we now derive from it. It is not supposed that it would be~good policy for Terre Haute to give her money to construct a road between these cities, which would not approach it nearer than fifteen or twenty miles, and the certain effect of which' wtiuld be to diminish the advantages it now enjoys from being'on the nSfrest direct route between them. This unselfishness might be commendable, in one sense, but, at the same time, it would certainly not be profitable. And, besides, if the branch toJMerom, and anew line through Illinois, from there to St. Louis should be built, then the road from Terre Haute to the point of intersection with this main line, would itself become a mere branch.

comes the complaint

that the mackerel have visited the coasts in such immense.schools, and are caught in such prodigious numbertf that there is not salt sufficient to cure them, nor barrels enough to hold them. This visita' tion of fishes is regarded as a real calamity, for a Halifax news gatherer says plaintively, "the market price of mack erel is now down ten cents per dozen per barrel they sell at six dollars, caus ing st heavy loss to those holding stores offish bought at old prices." .Of course all humane people will sympathize with Halifax in her mackerel trouble, and the authorities of Montreal must bbtain some practical knowledge of the cost and trou ble of putting down iillibustering expedi' tions1' i'i

On Saturday last, a gentleman in the employ ot R. J. Bright '& Co. visited a neighboring "county, and introduced himself as one of "a small ring" of persons who had perfected arrangements for raid upon the State treasury. He called upon the Auditor of the county, and made the following statement and proposal to him. He stated that several thousands of dollars of tax had been erroneously paid into the State treasury, based upon the additional valuation placed by the board of equalization upon the real estate of the county that "a small ring"—these were the words—had discovered a way by which this money could be got out of the treasury and transferred, one-half lo the pockets of the ring—the other half to the private pockets of. the county commissioners and county- auditor that the county attorney could do nothing the matter, as it would take him "forty years to find out the points that it was a sure thing, and the ring had perfected arrangements by which the game could be successfully carried out. He also stated that if that county, which is Republican, could be worked up, it would be a "good example'' to the adjoining Democratic counties and exhibited what purported to be a written contract with the County Commissioners of Jefferson county, agreeing to go into such an arrangement in rela tion the amount overpaid by that county. The sum and substance of. the proposal was to unite in a game for abstracting money from the State. Treasury, and dividing it among the members of the ring and their confederates. The gentle man gave our informant to understand that it was a big thing, and that the "small ring" that understood "the points" expected to make A-great deal Of money out of it. Befoi'e leaving, the aeent of the ring very obligingly left his address, in his own handwriting, and^is now in our possession. We copy it a• ^-jfca "R. P. LODGE,

More Cat Skinning,

"When you getfa good thing save it, save it. "When you catch a black cat skin him to the tail."—R, J. Bright.

When an old Norway rat says to him self: "Go to now, I have made up my mind to get into that corn crib," he gen erally means business, The farmer may cover and guard the openings with tin and sheet iron, and place Inverted tin pahs upon his underpinnings, but, by hook or crook, old long tail will carry his point at last, and establish himself for the winter-in the midst of the corn. But the persistence of a Norway rat in search ot winter quarters, is a mere circumstance to the dogged persistence of a ring of Democrats bent on plundering the treias ury. When the uiiexampled drouth stopped the paper mills/ and Colonel Eddy and Mr. Shoemaker quit approving accounts for hook paper, and Ryan stop ped paying warrants issued upon bogus vouchers, we. wondered where, when and how, the next assault was to be made upon the treasury. We have found out, and make haste, by the prompt exposure of the scheme, to thwart the contemplated villainy.

Father, perfeii my trust,

A gentleman in China, intrusted, with packages for a young man from his friends in the United Slates, learned that he would probably be found in a certain gambling house. He went thither, but not seeing the young-man sat down and wailed, in the hope that he might come in. The place was a bedlam of noises,men getting angry over their cards, and frequently coming to blows. Near him sat two men—one young and the other forty years of age. They were betting and drinking in a terrible way, the older one giving utterance continually to the foulest profanity. Two games had been finished, the young man losing each time. The third game with fresh bottles of brandy, had just begun, and the young man sat lazily back in his chair while the oldest shuffled his cards. The man was a long time dealing, and the young man, looking carelessly about the room, begin to hum a tune. He went on, till at length he began to sing the hymn of Phebe Cary above quoted. The" words, says the writer of the story, repeated in such a vile place, at first made me shudder. A Sabbath School hymn in a gambling den! But while the young man sang, the elder stopped dealing the -cards, stared at the singer a moment, and throwing the cards on the floor, exclaimed: "Harry, where did yoa learn that tune?" "What tune?" "Why. that one you've been singing." The young man said he did not know what he had been singing, when the elder repeated the words, with tears in his eyes, and the young man said he had learned them id a Sunday School in America- "Come," said the elder, getting up "come, Harry, here's what I won from you go and use it for some good

urpbse. As forime, as God sees me, I played my last game, and drank my last bottle." I have misled you, Harry and I am sorry. Give me your hand, my boy, and say that for old America's sake, it for no other, you will quit this infernal business." The gentleman who tells the story (originally published in the Boston daily "News) saw these two men leave the gambling house together, and walk away arm in arm and he remarks "It must be a source of great joy to Miss! Cary to knowihat her lines, Which have comforted so many Christian hearts, have been the means of awakfening in the breast of two tempted and erring men oh the other side of the globe, a resolution to lead abetter life." It was a source of: great joy to Miss Cary, as we happen to know. Before us lies, a private letter from her to an aged friend in this city, with the printed story enclosed, and containing this comment: "I enclose the hymn and story for you, not because I am vain of the notice, but because I thought yon would teel a peculiar interest in them when you know the hymn was written eighteen years ago (1842) in your house. I composed it in the little back thirdstory bedroom, one Sunday morning, after coming from church and it makes me very happy to think that any word I could say has done a little good in the world."

THE

CASE lias taken a new

Start, and promises intense excitement, very soon. The Chicago "Journal" says never before has there been such "great expectations" as now in this case. The Bishop has promised to visit Christ Church on the 10th proximo, for confirmation, and has declared he will: receive no candidates from Rev. Mr. Cheney, while the wardens of the church declare they will allow no other than Mr. Cheney to present the candidates.
