THE CHICAGO AND SOUTH ATLANTIC E. R.

tW. Haymond, in g recent letter to a Rensselaer gentleman, nays be is oonHdfint that work will be resumed on until Herald. A gentleman visited Chicago* a few days since who had the opportunity to converse with prominent business men who have evinced deep interest in the Chicago and Soqth Atlantic railroad project from its Inception. Without a single exception tbev freely spoke of their confidence of the speedy rerumption of work ou the line and its rapid completion. It seems to be a universal impression that immediately following the settlement of the presidential precession a revival of confidence among capitalist will be obflfirved, when there Will be no trouble to procure money on reasonable terms to complete this great enterprise which ia of scarcely less than national importance. There exiats no aceming doubt in the minds of those who have taken pain| to post themselves with relation to the facts bearing upon the subject that a direct, unbroken railroad; communication once perfected between Chicago and the Southeastern Seaboard will open up, or, rather, divert from a round-a-bout expensive route, an immense trade, which must prove largely aud immediately remunerative to the investors. This being trup it Is not unreasonable to expect that’capital looking for promising Investment, and there is plenty of money locked up idle iii Eastern vaults, can be readily attracted to this project whenever its keepers feel assured that a season of prosperity is beginning to dawn ou the country. With this assurance establisbed there has not been a more opportune time in many yearsfpr awiMlsM W*»lsf ’Labor is abundant and cheap; suppMeHor the consumption of laborers are plentiful and may be bought for reasonable prices; while the iron market and railroad stocking companies are in a languishing condition from the univerva/ 1 depression that has overshadowed ail kinds of business for two or three years past, aud are ready to make most favorable contracts and bargains for cash margins or shjYt, giltedged paper. Although we have not been able to discover any positive signs of life in this scheme for nearly two years, and thought it had died of strangulated hernia, pe hsps the near approximation of gold and greenback* to an interchangable value is producing a blue-glass effect upon its torpidity, and vigorous life may yet evolve from what was only a low comatose condition. Be tills as it may, every true friend cd the enterprise should be prompt to render it every assistance in his power whenever called upon. Mr. Leopold, the great advertising merchant of Rensselaer, has been here pros)icctiiig for a site for business with a view to start a store, at tills place. He says that for many yeais be has made money from his store at Reus* seiaer, but during last year dull as business was he made $2,000 more than any year before, which he attributes to extensive advertising, for he sold as low ss ever, but sold vastly more and made bls money from small profits and large sales. He used four columns of Th* Union through the year besides much space for special notices. seems to l>e a I ively business man.— Valpamino Vidette. Mr, Leopold is precisely tlie live business man he seems to strangers, and should he determine to embark in trade at Valparaiso will make a sensation among the Kip Van Winkle fossils who think they are well known to need lb advertise and permit trade to pass by them to Chicago merchants. Should he establish a hones there its fkixwe will soon be wide-spread because of liberal advertising, and he will harvest a large portion of the Chicago trade from Porter county and the railroad fares that people Lave been accustomed to paying net will be diverted Into channels of local invest mem. That w the lively kind of a business man Mr. Leopold is.

The fact is there was uot a straightout republican paper In the state that fevered the feWbriPVMb dribrft] bill. Wwa/iv Northern Jndianian. Whkh’Shows that even straightout republican papers are not always far-sceirig enough to determine what is best for their party and the people. Thk Umton favored the measure because it believed the ’ 'i J ■ (*' . ’ " ‘ 'll ■ ! cause of the republican party so strong that the fullest judicial investigation, under the constitution of the United States and the of individual states, would completely establish the fact of Mr. Hayes’ election in spite of all the pettifogging objections th&l could be invented by Mr. Tilden’s ablest subsidised lawyers. This being done, Mr. Hayes will enter Upon tfie duties of the presidential office backed by the friendly sentiment ot sin pverwhelming majority of the honest, fair-minded people of the country. The advantages of this condition of fueling will be apparent to the most superficial reason er and cannot well be overestimated. Unless wc are much mistaken the measure Which incurred the vigorous opposition of Mr? Morton and other able statesmen will yet prove (b be a rock of salvation to the republican party and a cliff whose jagged sides shall break the democracy In pieces. ..': i i . in mm, jjqi wnwwMwwßto - 6omh Bend papers make a great sansalioj about tha.recent marriage on the stage of tliMbpera house ,;fist city oi the low variety peß? former, Ned Mason aliai Ned ar d D.
