ar PtTBIiIsnKD BY THE fiviirgyiLLs jocnxiL comfaxt, K. 6 twnst Street, ETsnwIU?. TUESDAY.. ..AUGUST 3. 1801 We cory from the Courier or' Sunday another of these stirring articles it-, favor of the railroad into Southern Illinois. It is signed by James G. Jones, William F. Parrett, Isaac Keen, Peter Maieh and Isaac Casselberry. Now, xve state positively that not a lice adverse to the donation E., C. -P. R. K. has ever appeared in tatCourier, except it has been as a contiibut&n. On the contrary, re havo ctoorlH-i. -srivnf atr3 the douation BPU - . .... . , j urged tne Duuaing o . i - k - - t tne rou. Courier. The C.,,nriey l.ns eonta'ned se ei s.communications violently opposing tl ? donation to the E., C. & P. E. R- 1 las not, so far as wo remember, in a Single instance, taken issue editorially with any of those communica tions. It managed to say, wuu refer ence to Cel. Jones's did not endorse all it article, that it contained, but that was all. We arc not surprised that the officers of the Illinois road regard the Courier as requiring careful and jersistent nursing. WTe would advise them to permanently engage the Crescent City Band to keep that paper in Larmony with their enterprise. Reply to the committee of Five. J.dttors Journal: In Sunday morning's issue of the Courier five gentlemen, organizing themselves into a coinnittee, and claiming to be enlisted in tlie interest of the old Straight Line Railroad Comrany, make an unwarranted and unjustifiable attack upon the Carmi Ttsilrnftd Comnanv. one of the best friends of their enterprise. The Carmi Company has, at all times, assured the friends of the Straight Line Road of its desire for thfl earlv comoletion of that line of joad, and ba3 volunteered to render them audi ,. assistance as might be within its power. If they insist upon it, however, and by conscription array those towards wnora we ieei junaiy, flcainst us. and compel us. m salt defense, to state objections to their enterprise which we have bo far been willing to overiooK, we win ao so, although we do it with much reluctance. : i ' . l'he road bed of the Straight Line cost the people four hundred and sixty thousand dollars ($400,000) in cash Thousands of acres of valuable lr.nds (estimated by those well informed m 10,000 acres) along the line of the road were given by the people for the express purpose of completing the road. Now, after some fifteen years, these Eastern "capitalists," of whom they speak with much ostentation, after having duly manipulated cases in court, come to us as the purchasers of the road bed and franchises at the sum of eighteen thousand dollars, and as the owners in fee simple of these same lands given by the peop'e for the purprsa of.building the road. Not only this, but less than two years ago the same "capitalists" sued the city of Evansville, and when it wa3 known that they were in possession of secret3 that were supposed to be securely locked in the breast3 of the attorneys of the city, the city was glad to compromise their suit by raying them ninety-six thousand dollars more. What have these " capitalists " done with this sum of ninety-six thousand ($9G,000) dollais? They certainly do not intend to use this in building the Straight Line, for they now come to us with a demand for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) more, a sum sufficient to do the bridging and put the iron on in this county. They make similar demands upon the people along the nne. The best quality of cross-ties cost about, ind usually less than pevea handred dollars per mile. The iron, such as is used on. the E. & C. Road, about, and not over, nine thousand dollars per mile; leaving, as you will 6ee, the sum of twenty-eight hundred dollars per mile for chairs, spikes and bridges. The Straight Line runs about eleven, and not more than twelve, mile3 through this county. If we allow the Straight Line Company to take oae hundred and fifty thou sand dollars from the townships under ihe late law of the State, what guarantee have we that they will not ask for the money until the road is completed, and the cars runnine to Chelsea. They ask the voters of Vanderburgh County to vote down the proposed appropriation to the Illi nois Road, in order that these capitalists " may come in and ask for the same money under the same law. As two of the Committee are lawyers (both of whom signed the petition to the Board of County Commissioners, ask ing the Board to take the vote on the question of aid to the Illinois Road) we take the statement of the Jaw contained in their article as their interpretation of the law. It is as follows: " Under the law, when the money is voted, one-half can be demanded by the Company when work equal to onehalf of the donation ha3 been done, and for anything you can know, thi3 may be done on the faith of your donation on credit; when the road is so far completed a3 to reach the line of the county and to allow a train of cars to pass over it, the whole amount can be demanded." If this interpretation of the law "is correct, why wiil it not apply to the Straight Line Road as well a3 any? Is there anything in the conduct of these "capitalists," during the last fifteen years, to inspire confidence such a3 would allow them the advantages of the law without further guarantees of good faith? But we think these gentlemen give the law the wrong interpretation. The language of the law is so plain that its literal language i3 its best interpretation. The sixteenth section reads as follows (we quote from the book): "No donation of money shall be made to any railroad company by such iioard oi L'ommissicners until the railroad to be constructed shall have been permanently located and work thereon done and paid for by the comnanv cnual to the amount of the donations then made: nor shall to exceed fifty per cent, of tec money voieu to De appropriated to such railroad company be donated and paid over to the company until the iron is laid upon the road and a train of cars shall have passed over the entire length thereof, in Brh county or toicnship, as the case may be." Now, we insist that this law is so plain that it needs no interpretation, and that the interpretation given it

is cot correct. It means

to us that tee Larmi road cannot get one cent of the two hundred and forty-two thousand dollars prayed for until the company spends two hundred and forly-two thousand dollars and pay out the rsoncy, and that then they can gel but half until the cars are running to the county line. But why would this p. - a of the law be no restraint guarantee as to the Straight Line? Peeaujc as ?oonas the appro priation was votea by the people ana the tax collected, they could demand half of the money, saying that they have already done work and paid tor it to the amount of four hundred and sixty thousand dollars, over three times the amount cf the dsnsticn, atd when c:irs run to the township i n tf,e whole amount could b3 ceIV: t: t : t it ' 1 ; i -j: u y D:ny pro;: t1 t. i ; - : "...rois I- ...Ls-.-IV u s coi. t v en air i won id ;: i r. e cuy. u..r c:?Ci r i ! ii tl e c;ty could not make a donatioj, and could only take stock, anu that they did not propose to allow the city to take stock. If the city should take stock, it can be taken upon such conditions as will secure the payment cniy when the Straight Line has kept the prom ises made on tne street. But suppose we build tae straight Line for these capitalists, they owning tue roau. j ne roau maes mc lands givcu by the people to build the Straight Line, valuable. These Vcajdtalists " own the lands and the read. They sell these lands, amounting to many thousands of acrc3. They next sell the road,- put all the money in their pockets,' and then go home to Connecticut. "Capitalists" indeed! "Dost thou like the picture?" In the face of this the Illinois company have proposed to help the Straight Line, and have avowed themselves its friend. And when wo make this admission, we are fearful some of our readers will call us weak and indiscreet, and regard that action as ill-advised. As to the Illinois road, we need add Kut litt!f Ttt imrnrfanee needs no discussion, for the importance of such a road is admitted. Whcathe, people of the county vote the two hundred and forty-two thousand dollars, the company propose to add at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to that amount, and with these amounts to reach the middle of the Wabash River, where they will be met by the people -.oi Illinois, and the track of the road in sured to St. Louis, our nrst aim. When tlie track is done the company oTiiPct. tn hfl able .' to mortgage tne track for money to' put on the rolling stock. Do the people believe that the Li-rpft-nra nr snv fith.pr. members of- the company will put two hundred' and fortv-two thousand 1 dollars into the road for the only purpose of getting the two hundred and forty thousand doi lar3 from the county? Or that, the Dirnntors. Dr. M. J. Brav. John A Reitz, Dr. II. W. Cloud. William Fieilman. Poter Semonk David J. Mnr:k"v. Jame F. Welborn. John S Hopkins and, Robert A. Hill will beffin bv spendmsr two nunurea ana forty or fifty thousand dollars of the company's money without being able to see a high probability ot tec com pletion of the road? IheEO men say to the people that if they will vote thn sum ot mocev askea. they can and will build the road to St. Louis, and the people will have three years in which to raise the money voted A?nin. as to the importance of an Illinois road. All Eastern roads gimply increase our facilities for transporta tion of produce. Ave spend thou sands of dollars each year, of money raised bv taxation out of the people, to rer-air our bowldered streets that are worn out bv the drav3 that trans wort the property and produce of the planters of Kentucky. Tennes see and other Southern States.-, And all the tribute they pay to us is paid to a few commission men aud the Transportation Company.' When; a commission man receives an hundred dollars, cinctv-nine dollars of that amount goe3 into his pocket, and one dollar is divided between his book keeper and his draymen. Western roau3 prins us not, oniy tins trans porting business, but also purchasers tor all that wo have to sell. It wo sell a manufactured article, the money is divided among the working classes, who manufactured it. When one of our manufaetucers receives an hun drcd dollars, he doca not put away ninety-nine of.it to he invested in bank stocks or ether non-tax-payin; securities, but he pays out ninety nine dollars of it to the mechanic? o the city, and ruts Lut one in h:s racket as profit. The money that comus here to buy our manufactured articles goes to feed and to clothe the children, of the li boring men. Evansville is 'PI, ......ltti-.n , C several hundred lets to-day than it was a year asro And why? Because there have not been purchasers, for all that we manu facture, and mechanics have been discharged from their shops and have moved aw?y in search of cnipioymcnt The trade of all American cities lies to the west of them. New ork Chicago. Cincinnati, and St. Louis look to the west of them for their trade, and Evansville must do the 1 n T . ll , - x l. same, lor Jjvansvuie can ciaim to ue no exception. The Illinois road is our first remedy for the stagnation in onr business so apparent to sll. It will brics a demand for the labor ot all classes, and will feed the mouths of the workinginan's children. Robert A. 11 ill ATax-Parcr'3 Oplalon. Editors Journal : I have been astonished and amused at an article which I find in the Cour ier of Sunday, signed James G, Jones, W. P. Parrett, Peter Maier, Isaac Keen, and Isaac Casselberry, Com mittee. . Now, I excuse the Isaacs. They have evidently been misled; but these professional gentlemen, appear ing in print after it has been prctfy well understood and discussed on the street corners for several days past that the "Capitalists" thev soeak of had secured their services with part of the capital they boast so m-:ch about, exhibit an amount of assurance not often disDlaved. even bv lawyers. It has been known. I snppose. by most of us that Janie3 G. Jones, Esq., has been working for years in the interest of the Straight Line as its attorney, and his elevation to the Judge's bench has not apparently destroyed his desire for filthy lucre. But Judge Parrett's recent conversion causes us to smile, when not more than a week o"o he was a strong advocate of the road into Southern Illinois, and is to-day, I understand, a stockholder in the' same. Will the ex Judge tell us where, ichen, and how he became so suddenly converted? We will not ask him tigive us his experience; that will doubtless be more interesting (to himself) after these "capitalists" get through with him.

i But look at the arguments auauccd ty these gentlemen: Iney say u is ! proposoi to build a road into Illinois by way of Carmi; (now I wul stop Ihere and inform the "committee ! that Carmi has been located in liu- ! nois for some time), and they further ! object to the Southern Illinois Road ' the route is not definitely

fxed; and yet if you investigate their knew) the name of one of the counties they have decided to pass through on their route. I suppose they are willing to pass through any good county, no matter where it is. The " capitalists " were evid?ntly as ignorant of the geography cf ; I idiana as the " Committee" of these Capitalists" are in resrarl to the ", geography of Illinois. Then tliis seff- ', rus'irfed" Committee" so disinterestcd'y informs ns that if we desire to ' .Yoid financial embarrassment, to jit come forward and give these : " Capitalists " only, one hundred and ' ?;f.y thousand dollars and they will L.roeeea at once to complete ana perfect an organization for the con struction ot a railroad as jar a$ practicable on the line of the old Straight Line Railroad from this city to a voint on the Indianapolis and Vineenne3 Railroad, in Green County in this State." You don't sav so! "As far as practicable." I wonder how lar that would De, ana then how definite their route to a ' point." And then, to be still more explicit, they say if they don t so to Washington. Daviess County, they will go to Chelsea. Now, is not that uefimte enough to satisfy anybody? Why its as clear mud that it they don t go to one place they will certainly go to an other, lint somehow 1 imagine wo would not get much trade from Wash incton. as thev would doubtless hnd it "practicable" to cut Washington off. as I have understood, 'or a long time, that somebody owns a large pody ot iana at Chelsea. Now I submit to the voters of Vanderburgh County, do you know hair as much after this Committee has labored so hard to enlighten you, in regard to the " intention cf thene capitalists," a3 you do in regard to the proposed road into ooutnern Illinois: the onlv point of difference in ra'erencc to the Illinois Road, as 1 understand it is, whether we shall go to (jrrayviue, Illinois, or Carmi. Illinois or to Carmi bv the way of Grayville Illinois, or Mt. Vernon, Indiana. It is admitted bv all. that we must, , in order to prosper, or even to keep whg.t trade we have, have a road into Southern Illinois, and I, for one, would rather reiy on tne wisaom oi such men as John S. Hopkins, M. J Brav. John A. Reitz. 1'eter bemonin Wm. Ileilman, D. J. Mackey, Robert A. Hill. James t . Welborn, and II W. Cloud, citizens of Evansville, and most of them the largest tax-payers in the county, and who have no other interest' than the welfare of the city and county at heart, than I would on foreign capitalists, or on anv self-constituted " committee. whose serviuos are suspected of being Secured by foreign money. To my mind, Messrs. Editors, the people of this city and county are called upon on npxt Thursday, to decide the most important ouestion ever presented to them, and in view of the fact that the road from Vincenncs to Cairo has been abandoned for the present, may we not hope that our fcodIo will unanimously decide tnat Evansville shall have the only roa running into Southern Illinois? These considerations have prompted me for the first time to ask a space in your valuable paper. A Tax Pater. To the Voters of fanderburgV; County You aro asked by your votes, on next Thursday, to fasten upon your property a mortgage lor two nunore; and fortv-two thousand dollars. A prudent men, you will want to under t.tand the consideration ib:; this, and its conditions. All that you have ye been able to understand is. that a rail road corporation, under the ' Presi dency ot liobert A. Hill, Esq., of this city, proposo to take this sum as bonus, to induce the company to un dertake the building ot a railroad into Illinois, by way of Carmi, near the Wabash Kiver. How is this to be accomplished, and what the chances for success arc, you do not yet know. Before you vote before you ratify and affirrn thi3 mortgage, will you not want to know whether this route is practicable and will result beneficially to the people of the city and county? If your are told that the line cf this proposed road is not yet designated, will this not bo sufficient ground, ot itself, to cause you to hetifatc before binding yourselves to tl.c payment, by taxation, of so largo a sum of money? An amount o large, that, if granted, it will eo far cover your resources for purposes of this kind as to prevent you, lor at least two years, f rom aiding in the construction or completion of any other road, however desirable or easily obtained such other road may become. In addition to this, 'you have no reliable estimate of the cost ot" this proposed road; you can have no survey and estimate by a competent engineer nntil the road is located, with at least some degree of certainty. You are simply asked, without conditions, to trust your money and take your chances. Under the law, when the money is voted one half cau be demanded by the Company when work equal to the donation has been done; and for anything, you can know, this may be dono on the faith cf your donation on credit. ; When the road is so far completed as to reach the line of the county, and to allow a train cf cars to pass over it (which would be a distance of from seven to nine mile?) the whole amount can be demanded. These are matters which you are invited to look into and consider for yourselves. You need not be told that your present taxes and burdens are too great to admit of your further burdening yourselves on doubtful and crude schemes. You w'l) want to know, before you invest, that you will have at least a moral certainty of getting value received. Let this company be asked to postpone the electionsurvey and locate their route estimate the cost, and tell you with what amount, all told, they can insure you with a road, and let it be conditioned that not one dollar ot your money shall be touched until the road to some fixed and suitable place on the Wabash Iliver is a certainty. This is the way you would deal in your private affairs. Apply the same rule to public matters, and if this cannot bo done, then vote against giving away your money, when such grave reasons for doubt and uncertainty exist. You should, for yourselves, consider candidly this whole subject with reference to its effect upon other enterprises which may now, and within the next two years present themselvc3 for your consideration. It i3 now proposed by Francis Feb lowes, John J. Merritt and other capitalists, acting in concert with Gen. Burnside, at onco to complete and

proposed route ot tne btraight lnne, you will discover the fact that these 'capitalists" had forgotten (cr never

perfect an organization,'" for the col struction of a railroad ns far as prac- I ticable on the line of the old Straight ;

Liine liailroad from this city to a point on the Indianapolis & VinceDnes Railroad, in Green County of this State. Indeed the organization was perfected and the proper papers brought to this city by Mr. Fellowes some days ago, but on account oi tne omission of the came of one of the counties through which thi3 road passes, it wa3 deemed necessary to have these papers made out anew. This will be done, and the organizaon made psrlect, m a tew days at farthest. This road run3 about ninety n.ile3 tbrouzh a rich f arming coun try, abounding with coal, iron ore and other minerals. It wiil open up such competition with the Evansville and Crawfordaville road as to enable the city cf Evansville to have as cheap frrights as other est- ... mi . !11 1 - ern cities. xae company win ue ready in a few days to submit this proposition to the people of Pigeon, Ventre and Scott Townships the townships immediately interested in this road. If a conation of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is se cured, upon the express condition that not one dollar is to be paid until the road is completed and the cars running thereon, to Chelsea or Wash ington, in Daviess County, at a junc tion with the Ohio & Mississippi Road, then the company will com mence work at once, and put the road iq working order in from twelve to e:ghfecn months. In this proposition there is something tangible; it is a road or no money. Let the people consider these railroad questions in all their bearings, and arrive at con elusions for themselves. Remember that none will be counted tor or against this proposed gift of two hun dred and forty-two thousand dollars to the Carmi Road on next Thursday, except those who vote: but if the measure carries by a majority, all will bo bound to pay. The voters pf Pigeon, Centre and Scott Townships are again reminded that if the amount asked by the Illi nois lload is voted to that road, that it is at least probable, under' the law. that no other amount in the way of donation can be voted to any other road, and collected within the next two years, lhe friends of this road say to the friends of the Straight Line Road, You can apply to the city for the money required to build your road. 1 hey know the city cannot do natc money, but can only take stock in the road; and this will not answer the purpose. If all the money which can be donated is voted ; to the : Illinois Road, it is the direct and inevitable defeat to the Straight Line Road The Evansville and Crawfordsville monopoly will be perpetuated. Ita stockholders will be the gainers by this, but the great body ot the peo pie of both the city and county wil be ten-fold the losers. Let. then every voter in the county Eee that he votes, and know how he votes. ( ' f James G. Jones, j Wm. p. Pauiiett, Com. Isaac Keen, I Peteu Maik, i Isaac Casselberry, .STATIONERY. JOHN II.

They are ail three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach relax the liver, and put It to work; then the appetBe becomes good ; the food digests and mak a good blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh ; the diseased, matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the only way to core Consumption. To these thiee medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owei his unrivaled succeas In the treatment of Pulmo. nary Consumption. The Pulmonic Hyruj ripeLS the morbid matter in the lung nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a blight co sa wiil throw it off, and the patient has st, and the lungs begin to heal. To do tbls, tht diake Pills must the stomach an rnonlc Syrup an weed Tonic and MatiIreely used to cleanse ver, so that the ru' he food w 11 make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gail ladder, the bile start freely, and the liver Is soon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison, which Is very dange:ous to use, unless with great care) that will unlock the gail bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the aikail in the Beaweed, which this preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw ont the gastric juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and Is made into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to btop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Remove the cau4e, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canlter, or Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stomach are made healthy. When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Kcbeuck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sullicient, without the Pulmonic Hyrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they a;e perlectly harmless. Dr. Scheuci, who has e-ufoyed uninterrupted health lor many years past, and now weighs Xi5 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last stage ol Pulmonary consumption, his physicians having ptonouueed his case hopeless and abandoned him to his ta,ta. lie was cured uy the aforesaid uicdiyiwes. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to see Dr. Schenck, uuieks patients wisli their lungs examined; and lot this purpose he Is professionally at his principal orflce, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where till letters of advice must be addretM:d.
