ti'Ai 1TA1SYILLX JOURNAL COXPAXX, No. 6 locust Street, ETBnTllle. AUGUST 4,1SG. "Highland Township, Fountain County, has voted f 10,000 to the Evtnsvillc, Terre Haute and Chicago Jlailroad. In Tarke County two towashir svotcd for it and one against Articles of association were filed in tho office of the Secretary of State, Monday, of the Kockville and Chicago Railroad Company. This road an extension of the Evansville and Crawfordsvillo Iload. TnE Marion County Commissioners have ordered an election in that county to give three-fourths of one 3 er cent, on the tax duplicate to aid jn constructing ine muiauav., Delphi & Chicago Railroad. The election will be held September 13th. The Indianapolis Sentinel says the Oreat Western Dispatch Fast Freight Xine ha cut the rate on westward Joound freights from Boston and New Tork to Indianapolis, down to fortyve cents per one hundred pounds on all classes. The rate will probahly continue during the present week. The census of the children of Indianapolis, between tho ages of six And twenty-ono years, foots up 11,031, of which number 10,410 aro white, and C21 colored. The enumeration last year gave 9,507 white children, showing an increase this year of 903. The reduction of the public debt for the month of July is seven mil lions, four hundred and thirty-five thousand, seven hundred and forty-four dollars, making a total reduction Bince March 1st of forty-three millions, eight hundred and ninety-six thousand, five hundred and twenty-three dollars and seventy-two cents. The Indianapolis Journal says: One year since the leaders of the Democratic party were declaring that if Grant was elected in less than a year one hundred and fifty millions would be added to the public debt, and that Governmen bonds would be worthless. Tho lat ter are higher to day than ever, while the condition of tho public debt is more satisfactory. So much for Dem ocratic predictions. We are surprised at one line of ar gued pursued by Col. Jas. G. Jones and other friends of the Straight Line Itoad. They charge the officers of the E. & C. Road with purposely bo man aging that road as to prevent any payment of dividends on the stock. All the earnings of the road are spent in improving the track, adding to the rolling stock, build'iDg new depots, &c. In the meantime the officers of the road and Bomo of their friends, Judge Jones asserts, arc quietly but actively engaged in buying up its stock at merely nominal rates, and as soon as the bulk of tho stock passes into their hands, it will, all at once epring up to par, if not to a premium. Suppose this to bo true, how will Evansville interests bo effected by it? Evansville and Vanderburgh County own $200,000 Btock in that road. If the policy is pursued, as asserted by Mr. Jones, that stock is on the road to par value, and may soon reach that point. Now, suppose the county vote $150,000 to the Straight Lino Road, for the express purpose avowed by Mr. Jones of breaking down the Evansville & Crawfordsville monopoly, and making its stock worthless, what is the result? First, the coun ty is taxed $150,000. Second, the $200,000 it has in the Evansville Road, which would soon pay divi dends, according to tho theory of Mr. Jones, is rendered worthless In other words, Mr. Jones asks the people of Vanderburgh County to give $150,000 to some Connecticut capitalists, in order that they may destroy another of their investments amount ing to two hundred thousand dollars la other words, again, the people of tho county are asked to give the Straight Line capitalists three hun dred and fifty thousand dollars more money in order to cripple the Craw fordsville Railroad. Would not thi3 prove an expensive gratification of creiudice and spite? Would it not be cutting off tho nose to spite the face, with a vengeance? Yet, this is the logical deduction from Colonel Jones's argument, as must be clear to the most thoughtless. This, wo undertake to say, is most unfortunate pleading, and calculated to do the Straight Line Road more harm than good. Our people want railroads, but they do not want them for the express purpose of ruining the very excellent road they already pos Bess, and which has done so much towards building up the city. Judge Jones had better advocate his road from some other stand-point. The Republicans of Tennessee, by their foolish and criminal dissensions have placed the political power of the State in the hands of their enemies That the latter will use it unscrupu lou3ly to crush out all that looks like Republicanism in that State is clearly evident to every thinking man who is familiar with the history of parties there. Xte infatuation that has pos sessed tho Republicans in nearly all tho Southern States is a3 unaccountable as it is deplorable. They gave up Virginia to the old rebel element for it apparently has control of the Legislature, notwithstanding the Governor elect claims to be a Republican and, consequently, will have a hard struggle to regain their lost supremacy. In Tennessee their divisions and quarrels have brought about similar result?, and a Democratic United States Senator will be the consequence. The State will be manipulated in euch a manner as to

tlie polls ia the kecpl

ing of roughs, who, by inaugurating a reign of terror, will retain their supremacy. In Mississippi the some infatuation seems to

exist. The Dent movement is of a piece with the tactics which secured Walker's election in Virginia, and the defeat of the party in Tennessee. In Texas Jack. Hamilton has in augurated a simi'sr movement against the party which has always honored him with its confidence and support, and that State will-also, wo doubt not, follow in the wake of the others wo have mentioned. What makes these results the more mortifying is, that they are brought about through incu who have been honored with the most dignified and lucrative positions in the party. Gov. Urownlov,, of Tennessee, it seems to U3, is especially censurable for the defeat of the Republicans in his State. It was in his power to have healed the dissentions in the party, and have consolidated its strength; but he preferred the work of disor ganization, and invited the political disaster which followed. Tho per sonal quarrels of the men who would sacrifice everything to secure their own advancement ought to have insured for them a prompt rejection for anv position whatever. Had the Republican Convention at Is ash vine thrown both Stokes and Senter overboard, and nominated a new man, they would have carried the State and retained their power. As it is, they are, in all probability, routed horse, foot and dragoons, and have not even saved .their honor. Unless the Republicans of other States profit by their sad example, the organiza tion will have nothing to hope for in the future from the South. We are highly gratified at the in creased interest in tho railroad elec tion cn Thursday next, which has been developed within tho past two or three days. The e!cct:on is one of vast importance, and the people can not devote too much of their time between this and Thursday ia familiarizing themselves with the question at issue. The policy pursued by the friends of the Straight Line Road, whatever eh-e it may ac complish, has infused new spirit into tho canvass, which will result, we now believe, in bringing out a full 'vote. That is what we especially desire to sea. . It will show that our people feel an interest in public improvements, and desire to exercise their privilege as well as duty in determining the character of these improvements. The construction of railroads is the order of the day in all part3 of the State, and while we doubt not many aunties are acting injudiciously, Evansville, by hcrlocation and ne cessities, cannot ho regarded as doing so, even when she votes the largest donations. I t is from tho peculiarity of our location that we CDj'oy the ben efit of no great through lines of railroad. If we have roads at all, we must project and build them ourIves. This seeruiog disadvantage of ocation, however, is not without its benefits. When we build a road it is emphatically an Evansviila road, and nothing else. Mr. Gooding, in his speech on Monday night, inquired where another city of 30,000 inhabit ants could he found which had only one railroad. Where, he might with equal propriety have asked, can another instance be found in which one road has dono so much towards making a city of thirty thousand in habitants? The construction of rail roads to Evansville make them feeders to her prosperity, as they can not be to any other city within our knowledge. This fact is to be attrib uteJ, a3 wo said before, to the pecu liarity of her location. A glance at any map will show how peculiarly this will be the casowith the railroad to Southern Illinois. Like the E. & C. Kailroad, it will run to Evansville and no where else. Its business will flow to Evansville as naturally as the waters of the Ohio seek the Gulf. The merchants on its ino will buy their goods and ship their produce here. The farriers will think of Evansville a3 their market and seek quotations from no other point. Oar location makes these things inevitable, provided we get the road. Hence, we say again, if we ap propriate our money at all we do it to build an Evansville road alone. Tee Huntington Herald is some what impressed with the idea that the people of tho State are running the railroad business too hard for safety. It says: In all parts of the State the people are agitating the subject of buildicg new railroads. J. here 13 scarcely a county paper in which can not be found appeals to consent to tax them selves for the construction of new roads. row railroads are undoubt edly a good institution, but it may be reasonably questioned whether it is rtrorjcr to try to build one to every cross-roads village in the State. We doubt the mvins character ot tho in vestment. Tho strong probability 13 that vast sums of money will be expended, many men plunged into debt Deyonu ad hopes of recovery, and, in nit, tnu, tticy will cot get the railroad. A guard i3 kept in front of Morgan 3 cell in the jail, every night, to prevent any attempt at escape. The prisoner seerri3 utile concerned at his approaching doom. A f3w evenings since the guard asked h:m if he would not like to havo a minister call on him. He answered in tho negative, stating that he once belonged to church, and found the majority of tho members a set of hypocrites. Terre Haute Express. A MCItTOAGE, amounting to two million dollars, given by the Indianapolis and St. Louis llailroad Uompany to George W. Cass and Stillman Witt, was recorded in the fair round hand of Deputy Recorder Hatty yesterday. It is given to secure the buildin? of the new line to Terre Haute from this city. The stamps on it amount to $2,000. Jnd. Journal.

The New York Legislature at its

last session liassed an act for endowing the Roman Catholic schools, of which the following is the first section: Whenever there shall be, or has established and maintained in any city of this State any free school or schools in which net less than two hundred children have been or are tausht and educated cratuitouslv. it shall be" the duty of such city, or of the Board of Supervisors of the county of which such city is a whole or a parr, to make provision from year to year for the expenses of such school or schools. In anticipation of this, the city of New York appropriated $300,000 for the Fupport of Lomun Catholic schools for this year. the progress ot the ltoman Catho lic Church, in becoming the established church of New York, may be se?n by a brief summary of the pub lic endowments, taken Irotn a recent publication. The first appropriation was in 1840, when $9,CCO was appropriated to the "Sisters of Charity' at Buffalo. Since then appropria tions to them have been constantly increasing. In 15Gb the amount reached $121,174 14: in 1SU7. ?200,000; in 1SC8, half a million. The city has also made endowments in the following manner: it has leased the lease bearing date April 1, 1857 to the "Catholic Nursery and Child's Hospital," -in perpetuity, and for the amount ot one dollar, the premises on Fifty-first Street and Lexington Avenue. I ho property on .Lightytirst and Eighty-second Streets and Madison Avenue, is leased to the "Sisters of Mercy," in p:rpetuity, for one dollar. ine laud on imty-hrst and Fifty-second Streets and Fourth and rifth Avenues, was leased April 1. 16o7, to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum,1 perpetually, for the annual rent ot one dollar, lhen the property on iitih Avenue, wnere "St. Patrick's Cathedral" is being erected, is leased on the same conditions, although the estimated value of it is S3,UW,0LHJ. The value ot the Roman Catholic Church property in New iork State is estimated at htty millions. Cincinnati, Gazette, The Law of Advertising. In New York the other day tho other day the law of advertising was well elucidated. Ihe publisher ct a daily piper had the standard Lite In eurance Company in the bupreme Court, before Judge luthiac. tor a bill of $773 on account of advertising, The company resisted payment on the cround that they had authorized but one insertion. There was no proof. however, of this. There was no order to that effect on the bill, and the company did not attempt to deny that they saw the advertisement continuing in the paper and failed to coun termand it. When an advertisement is received m a publication office without the number of insertions marked upon it, or the cost ot tho insertion raid for at the time, tho publisher can know nothiog ot the wish of the advertiser respecting the number of insertions desired, and as he can do nothing until advised by him whose business it is to attend to the matter, he can charge for every insertion given the advertisement un til ordered out. A Sensible Question. Which should receive tho largest patronage, the paper that is run lor the beneut ot U3 subscriber?, or the jianer run for the benefit ot its adver tisers 1 ho leader can rasiiy deter mine this. Many papers put their advertising rates down so low that the inducement to advertisers soon crowd out all reading matter and leaves nothin-r for the reader. We contend that this practice is both a swindle nnon the reader and tho advertiser. To the reader it diminishes the read ing matter he desires, and to the ad vertiser it diminishes the circulation of his advertisement, and it seems strange that publishers cannot see the inevitable result ot such a course. Exchange. Overcome by Greatness. A few vears asro. as manv oi our readers may recollect, a young man named Kornissarven saved tho life of the Emperor Alexander, of Russia, by knoekine up tho arm ot an assassin (Kava Kosow) just as he was about to direct a pistol against the persop of the Emperor. The man who was fortunate enousth to render this serv ice to His Majesty was a working hatter, and was about thirty-hve years of age. From this time out honors continued to rain upon him. For his plebian name was substituted a noble one that of lvostumski. lie receiv ed an entailed estate, with all its rrivile,ie3. was made Colonel of a regiment of the Imperial Guards, and a national subscription was opened for him, which produced nearly two millions of roubles. This favorite of fortune, however, could not stand the intoxication of his Rood luck, and he sought to counterbalance its giddy effects by another species of inebriety. A hopeless sot. hi became an intolerable burden ta himself and others, and finally, ia one of his des perate fits of drunkenness, hung him self. hoslon Journal. How ta Stop Chewing Tobacco. 1.
