Tho railroads completed and projectcd to (his city will innke it railroad center surf uss«d in iinj ortaiiee hv not more than so von cities in the Union. "When \w reflect upon the fact that we are surrounded by a country of unsurpassed lertiiity, th:.t wc are upon tho edge of the most valuable coal fields in the West, and that our situation at a point qui-dislant from tho throe great rival Western cities is most advantageous to us, it behooves us to -e to it that all our railroad enterprises :ye pushed forward to completion. We have three roads which are not yet finished. Cars are
LOW
Toledo,
running on
one of these, the Danville road,' as far as Newport, and the untiring energy of Mr. Collett is cur guarantee that the whole line will be completed during the summer. The Kloomlkld road, in aid of which our city lias voted one hundred thousand dollars, has not yet, we regret to say, taken definite shape. Jt is understood that the people of Greene countv, who ar.i most anxious to do their trading aso! old with Tor
ty tban cither of the other lines. We refer to the Paris and Dec ilur Railroad, projected to connect Decatur and 1'aris, Illinois, and to b..*oxtended to this eity, forming a junction with the andalia lino three miles west, ami using the track and bridge of that line into the oily. It is understood that the managers of the Yandalia road are favorable* to this enterprise and will enter into tho above-mentioned iirrungement. This lino is cighty-sevefffiiiles long, of le8|re
whioiv wo alraady.,
grnded, nnd%be remainder of the road between Paris and Doeatur is under contract and will be graded by the first of June next. Four hundred and six-ty-three thousand dollars in subscriptions for the road have been voted by towns on the line in Illinois. The const! notion of tho road from i'aris to Decatur ia considered a certainty, and a good earnest effort will insure its extension to this city. The road runs through a most fertile region in Illinois, tho trade of which will naturally gravitate to this city. It will be tho only iliurt line between Central Ohio and Indiana and Central Illinois, and forms a connecting link between the great lines from the Kast converging at this city and tho great air lino Western route from Decatur by way of the
Wabash A Western Hail-
road to ijuincy, and thence by the Hannibal and St. Joe (without change, the Mississippi being bridged at (Jniiiey.) to Western Missouri ami Kansas. A railroad has boon projected to connect Indianapolis and Decatur, called tho Indiana A' Illinois Central, which will run through Roekvillo and Montezuma in Parke county. This road if eomploted will make tho connection between Central Indiana and Central Illinois, mentioned above, leaving Torre-llaute out in the cold. If the I'aris and Decatur Railroad is completed first tho probabilities are that the mad from Indianapolis to Decatur will never bo built. If the latter road is constructed it will injure thin city much more than the road from Indianapolis to Yincennes which took away the Greene county trade, ns it (the I. A* 1. C.) will divert the trade of Rockville. Montezuma. and tho northern part of Parke county, and of portions of Vermillion county, and of Kdgar county, Illinois, from this city.'
Wo trust that our loading ami enterprising citfsens will keep wide-awake concerning our railroad interests until the Bloom field and Decatur railroads are completed. Other communities with conflicting interests are looking sharply to their own advantages, and there is no time now for resting on our laurels. After we have nine completed railroads converging at this city we will l»e far enough out of the woods to halloo with impunity.

merchants, are moving anew in the matter, and hope has been revived that a project considered dead will yet be prosecuted successfully. Th.- importance of this railroad to the people of Terre-Hauto has always been underestimated. The loss ot the Greene county trade came at a time when the oily was making a long stride forward in material progress and it was not felt *0 plainly as it would otherwise have been. Tiiis trade in former years was worth more (ban a million dollars annually to thin, city. Is it not worth a big cllbrt to bring it buck to where it naturally belongs

this fitv who desires to enlighten her Mi-tei* upon tfiisqucMion, she may tiayetlie use ol our columns, subject only to tin usual
Xow we object to this summary way, so
-repeated, of disposing of the Woman Question. Female, Suffrage is right, or it is wrong, regardless or what
women
themselves think or feel about
it. There are women, we regret to say, so iKjund down by social custom, so fearful that they may act or appear unwomanly, that they throw up their hands with holy horror when Woman's Rights are mentioned and assert that they hnvo all the rights they desire, and that they would not under any circumstances infringe upon the privileges of men. But have tliev all the rights jind privileges that in their hearts they desire Are they happy and contented as men? They well know that thovaic not. Where one woman is the satisfied, honored head of a household, tilling the "sphere" which we are told is the 1 ijilit and lxmnd ot her natural aspiration, at least two are unsatisfied and discontented with a natural longing for better opportunities to "do and dare" in the battle of life. Nino women out of
regret that they were not born
men. Who ever heard of a man rc-
irretting
importance to our communi
that he was not born a wom
an Did the Creator intend that woman should bo more unhappy and discontented than man. or is there something wrong in our social and political system which accounts foi man's satis-f-iction and woman's discontent?
Hut," says the enemy of new ideas, "how will Sutlrage affect woman's happiness or unliappiness, her content "or discontent?" Wo answer: because it will bo the crowning step in her advancement because it will secure to her the opportunity to use (fodgiven talents in any of the trade.*, prolessions, or avocations and because it will open up to her a now sphere in the fioBsl of ennobling and satisfying labor which will make marriage a matter of choice with her, as with man, and not of necessity.
Tho majority of women'itve aa'iYmdi tho slaves of social custom and usage as Southern bondmen or Russian serfs were subject to their masters. They dare not assert their independence for ear that they will bo called masculine or unwomanly, Our readers will remember that a favorite argument ofthe defenders of human shivery in this country was that the majority of no-

Vir
ginia planter who called up his slaves 0110 after another and received from tbom assurances that they preferred slavery to freedom. And we doubt not that a number, perhaps a majority, of those slaves were sincere in their utterances, so strong is tho love of established custom, and the dread of innovation in tho human breast. Oho Indian woman of tho plains would unquestionably assert that it is her preference, and her bonnden duty, to be a hewer of wood an 1 a drawer of water for her lordly but worthless husband and the Oriental wc man would disclaim with perfect sincerity the desire to appear unveiled on tho street. Tho Indian woman's idea of her "sphere" i* not more false than that of our own civilised women who maintain that they have all the rights thatthcy desire and the woman of tho Kast is not more faithful to useless and ridiculous custom than are the woman of America who sneer at Woman's Rights.
Our excellent friend, tho editor of tho KrprcM, does not believe in enfranchising anybody who don't want to bo enfranchised." Pray, does he believe in educating people who don't want to lie educated, or in Christianizing persons who don't want to accept Christianity? It is considered a noble work to force Christianity and enlightenment upon people who do not desire cither why should wo not force Suffrage upon woman if it is right that she should vote?
Wo do not advocate Female Suffrage purely as a matter of justice and advantage to women. Far from it. Tho country needs their ballots. The cause of temperance, and of honesty, and purity at tho iolls call aloud for their assistance and Peace, distressed and crushed in tho midst of 19th century progress, will never be irrevocably enthroned save by woman's ballot.
THBRK is trouble at West Point. Several young cadets, who were led into the mountains by seniors and told to return at their peril, have taken refuge at Poughkeepsie. If the commandant at West Point is not able to break up the system of hating," by which the older cad* ts brutally tyrannise over tho younger ones, It is time for the government to break up West Point. It has not been a popular institution for some lime vrith the people, in view of the ftict that so large a percentage of the graduates were rebels during the war. The infamous and cowardly treatment received by the young colored cadet. Smith, does not encourage one in the hope that bravo men arc being trained at this school.

TIIKHK are some things particularly feminine in tho study and practice of medicine which invito the attention of the sex. Obstetrics, especially, is obviously a branch of this scionee which females exclusively should practice, while diseases of women and children are scarcely less the province of that class. Tho question of admitting female students to the lecture-rooms, clinics, and hospitals, has lately been discussed the world over, and the almost universal conclusion which has been arrived at is, that they are admissible. Rut it appeai-s that tho question of medical education for women, after exciting the faculty of Edinburgh almost as much as it did the faculty of Jefferson College, Philadelphia, has boon finally settled by a decision of the corporation of the former university, that although women may imbibe instruction they cannot take prizes. It is, according to the faculty, an admissible thing that women should contribute to tho support of their institution, but a grievous and intolerable thing that women should profit by its endowments and upor. this logical ground a scholarship has boon refused a woman who is admitted to have won it fairly. The decision is no doubt satisfactory to tho male students, who would otherwise be under the painful necessity of seeing members of an inferior sex taking prizes away from them—particularly so to the malo student upon whom it dovolrcs by default the prize which a ladv had won. But nevertheless it is scarcely in accordance with nnyljodv's notion of justice, and the advocates of it seem to have felt the need of an authority which should outweigh reason, when tlioy invoked upon the discussion the declaration of her ftbyeety Queen Victoria that she "jjreatlv disproved of women studying medicine." Ry way of enforcing thi» most august opinion, the faculty decided by a vote of one not to prohibit women from the study of metlclne In tho university, which would involve the loss of foes derived from women, but only to prohibit ladies from receiving the prize* to which their proficiency in that study might entitle them! Which ia a very frugal and economical, whether or no it be a very high-minded or honorable, procedure on the part ofthe fkculty of Edinburgh University, to any the foftat.

each. Tho
States west and northwest of Ohio gain twontv-one members. It is understood that this increase is to be tnado in order to prevent the reduction ol the representation of
ot the States. While wo
do not doubt tlie good policy of continuing the same basis representation which now exists, as a matter of convenience to the States and to representatives, wo think thero nre better reasons than these why the representation ot the people should bo increased. lJusiness is dispatched with as great facility in the English House of Commons, which has over four hundred members, as in tho Lower House at Washington which has two hundred and forty-three members.
A
competent
presiding officer can manage a largo legislative body as easily as a smaller one, tho main business being dispatched in committees. It may be, when representation in tho Lower IIouso is increased, that many tedious and humdrum speeches made in tbo House, but addressed to the far-off constituents of members, will have to be omitted, but this will be so much better for country, conirress, and constituency. The people of every district ought to know their member, and he should have an intimate personal acquaintance with liis district, and its interests and necessities. Constituencies are now too large. A fuller representation of all the diverse interests of the country would be secured by increased representation. The influence of rings, and corrupt schemers, would be diminished if there were more members to be influenced. Smaller constituencies would, unquestionably, draw members closer to the people, and increased representation would bo better representation.
Tho government being of the people and for the people it is full time to agitate a reform in our constitution in reference to the election of tho president by direct vote rather than by using the cumbersome and unsatisfactory Electoral College system now required by the constitution. This system is a relic of the old exploded States Rights doctrine. Under its workings the candidate receiving the largest popular vote in a presidential contest may be, and has been, defeated. What right has Florida to one electoral 2S,87i$ inhabitants, while New but one vote for 11#.108 in This inequality exists all union.
