WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1870.

Tlie New Railroad to St. Louis. The excursion which starts from this city to-day, over the Terre Haute,

dalia & St. Louis Railroad,

west,

an"

marks

a new

in the progress of our city. Another road is completed from here to St. Louis, thereby connecting us again, with the numerous roads which radiate from that city

in every direction. Thisopens

to us, and throws into our lap the trade of a large portion of as rich country as any in Illinois. WB have but to reach forth our hand and seize on this trade, and we have it. In one week from to-day the last rail will be spiked to the ties on the new road from here to Indianapolis. This gives us another route cast, and in a few months vrc can go direct to Chicago over the E., T. H. & Chicago road.

Is not all this concentration of roads here the most happy augury of a great future? No city in this valley is immediately more prosperous. We are in easy reach of the rest of the world. Our merchants can, if they will, find purchasers for all they have to sell. Our manufacturers can produce a demand for every article they manufacture. Our market is everywhere. But we must not remain idle, and let other cities draw from us the many advantages that are now opening to us. We must let the people who live along the new routes know what we have to sell, and what we manufacture. Send out agents to talk to them. Scatter circulars, and tell them. Use printers' ink, and inform them. Why, the great city of New York itself would lose the immense trade which is now pouring into it, did it not resort to the splendid system of "drumming," so prevalent there. It draws the trade of the continent to it, because it seeks it. It controls the trade of the whole country, because its merchants determine to. Whenever anew railroad opens the trade of a new country, there, upon the first train which passes over it, is found the ubiquitous "New York drummer." He is on the "go" and the "make" too. He sees the people, and displays his samples. He takes their orders, and supplies them with goods. He does not stop his efforts along that route when the train gets through, but you see him on.the next train, and the next, and the next. He is everywhere and all the time. There is no flagging in his efforts. No giving up and saying, "competition is so great nothing can be made." He is accustomed to competition, competition in everything. He has been all his life surrounded by competition. It is that which pushes him out it is that which drives him over all the railroads— makes him acquainted in every hamlet, village and town in the whole country— forces him to drum and makes him a fortune. "Competition is the life of trade."

Our merchants and business men must expect competition, and overcome it. They must not let Eastern "drummers" come to their doors and steal away their trade. It belongs to them, and they are not contending for their just rights if they do not secure it. Tlie trade embraced within a radius of fifty miles around this city, belongs of right to this city. We are the center into which the whole of that retail trade should fall. We have the avenues for reaching farther in every direction, and toe ought to reach. Send out your representative men over the new road west. Here is a country being brought into closer relations with us, and we should make friendly relations with it. Opportunities are now opening to our business men, which should demand their attention. A direction can now be given to a new trade, which if not attended to, maybe directed into another channel. Nature, location, soil, and the liberality of our own, and the interest of foreign capitalists, have done much for us. To not seize hold on all these advantages, and make the most of them, is censurable.

Taxes Reduced.

The proceedings in the House, to-day, were of an exceedingly interesting and important character. The most important act accomplished was the passage of the bill reducing internal taxation, with the amended Tariff Bill annexed. The Democrats fought the measure at every point, but were linally compelled to give up, the bill being passed with only 25 negative votes—all Democrats. As the bill reduces taxes about $60,000,000 annually, it was thought not ono would dare go on the record as opposed but 25 Democrats did so without hesitation. There was much rejoicing at the result, the House feeling that it had got rid of a most tiresome question.

The above is a telegram from Washington dated June 6. Does it not read a little "funny?" A bill to reduce taxation, and every vote cast against it is a Democratic vote, and twenty-five of them. Have the Democracy changed front, and are they now in favor of heavy taxation Or have they always been in favor of taxation, but talked otherwise? The whole world knows that our taxes are heavy—distressingly heavy. The whole world knows that the people are anxious to have them made lighter, and are demanding of their representatives that this should be done. And when this is sought to be done by the representatives, a large number of the Democrats vote square against it. What does this mean The Democratic party has been telling the people that it is the especial friend of low taxation. This has been the theme of its speakers all over the country, the sweet morrel which its orators have rolled under their tongues, and which they had hoped to win the great mass of the people with. The time, however, oame for the party to show its hand, and it is opposed to a reduction of the taxes.

How our Representative would have voted on this most important question, it is difficult for us to say. Perhaps on both sides—may be, on neither side. If he thought there was any danger to his individual interests, he would not vote at all. It is always safe to be absent. You can then say you were sick—just went out to see a friend—was detained in the committee room on an important report which had to be made, Ac., Ac. If you are present, you will have to vote if you are absent, you may muster up almost any kind of an excuse, and your constituents may possibly think you excusable.

How the Hon.* iBs W. Voorhees can all the ask his constituents to absent from his

seat,"just "when the session is about to close" and when all the important measures that have been pending for months are to be Anally aated upon, we cannot understand.

And to "excuse him too,

when that absence is occasioned by the most selfish of motives. Why is not Mr. Voorhees now in Washington attending to the business for which this people elected him? Why is he not there now, the most important time during the whole session? The disreputable answer is A: is at home working to secure Ms renominationto Congress. Is not this most shameful? Ii it not almost unparalleled? Should such a man be intrusted to attend to the interests of the people, in times so important? When this bill, reducing the taxes, was before the House of which he was a member, where was he?—absent. Making speeches, one thousand miles away from his place of duty, and asking hi* constituents to renominate him, for his faithful and attentive devotion to their interests. Did audacity ever become more brazen faced, or demagogism more audacious

WE have received a letter from the Hon. D. W. Voorhees—arborically termed the tall sycamore of the Wabash— modestly asking us to inform our readers that our statement with regard to his vote on the Northern Pacific Railroad Land Grant a 'Vie." The monosyllable quoted, is exactly as we find it in the letter aforesaid. We gave the vote of the gentleman precisely as we found him casting it a the very crisis of the struggle against that gigantic swindle. At the very time when its opponents needed the honorable gentleman's vote the most, he gave it against them. Afterwards, when it became apparent that the bill would pass the House without his vote, the gentleman changed front and voted against the bill. The Chicago Post thinks this distinguished Congressman voted on both sides of the Dill under the impression that he would thereby be entitled to the votes of all sides for re-election. His letter to us looks very much as though the Post is correct in its surmise. We think, however, that the people understand political jugglery sufficiently well to detect this lame attempt to curry favor with both sides.

Mr. Voorhees has never denied the statement that he is the paid attorney of the Southern Pacific Railroad. He is, at the same time, holding his position as a member of Congress, with power to vote the people's money and lands into the hands of that corporation, which will, of course, reward him in proper time, as his services are valuable. How such a position can be made to harmonize with a man's duty to his constituents, we are at a loss to determine. Mr. Voorhees, however, may be able to satisfy his constituents that his position as attorney and Congressman are not inconsistent, just as he seems to think he can humbug them with regard to his votes on the Northern Pacific Railroad. If he is successful it will be a poor compliment to the intelligence of his constituents.—Evansville Journal.

"LEO," the Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier, says that the question of selecting candidates for the next Presidential contest is engaging the attention of leading men of both political parties. The Republicans, he says, have it in contemplation to select a Southern man as their candidate for the Vice Presidency. Grant will be a candidate for a re-nomination to the Presidency, but is likely to have strong opposition. "The Democratic party," he says, "will nominate a Southern citizen for the second office, and will take care to secure as a candidate for the first office some one who is not obnoxious to the freedmen of the South, which principle of selection might point to Chief Justice Chase.

THE accumulated evidence from all parts of Mexico reveals the condition of that country as in every sense deplorable. Financially bankrupt, socially demoralized, and politically disrupted, there is protection for neither property nor persons. Trial by jury is suspended and special taxes are levied by mere Governors of States. Brigandage is a favorite occupation of dissatisfied citizens and defeated politicians. Congress is without authority and the President without power. We had hoped braver and wiser things from this people after the expulsion of the French, and we reluctantly confess to grave disappointment at witnessing this result of republican rule in that unfortunate country.—N.Y.Tribune.

THE Franking privilege dies slowly and painfully. The bill abolishing it was before the Senate yesterday as the special order for the twentieth time, and was quietly laid aside, the Senators acting with the air of men fearful of assuming the responsibility of defeating the bill, and yet determined not to relinquish the much-abused privilege. The time which has been wasted in the various efforts to postpone the bill would have more than sufficed to debate it thoroughly and decide its fate.—N. Y. Tribune.

SECRETARY BOUTWEU has written a letter in response to a resolution of the House, giving it as his decided opinion that it is not for the best interest of the Government to have custom house officers and informers share in the penalties and fines that are inflicted for violations of the laws, and expressing the belief that itwjuld be muchfbetter, every way, to rely exclusively upon the integrity and zeal of public officers properly compensated by fixed salaries.

CAN IT BE TRUE?—That is a startling revelation which the Senate's Committee on Retrenchment,liave made. They have evidence that during the rebellion President Juarez, of Mexico, was in league with the Confederates, helping them to get out their cotton, and making money by the operation and supplying them in turn with arms and ammunition which he had imported into Mexico for the purpose, and on which he also realized a handsome profit.

IT is reported that Brigham Young has challenged Dr. Newman, of Washington, to deliver a sermon against polygamy in the Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City, and promises him an attentive and orderly congregation. Dr. Newman has accepted, and will go there in August. He will find plenty of sinners to preach to the prospect of converts is pretty cloudy, however.

WE respectfully submit, for the considt eration of Mr. Voorhees, if it was noshabby treatment on his part to first inveigle the State Sentinel and Terre Haute Journul into endorsing the Northern Pacific land grant by nis votes on that reposition while pending, and then "go acK" on them when the bill came up on its final passage.—Evansville Journal. 4

The Pope in Private.

Those who see the Pope in State can form little idea of the simplicity in which the Pontiff lives. The "King of xtaly lives worse than a denizen of a third rate boarding house in New York. The furniture of the Pitti Palaces would be despised by a Canal street broker, and a dry goods clcrk would disdain the horrible Milanese cigars which his majesty is eternally smoking. All of which is not generally known, and is very commendable, because it is done for economy and to save the impoverished exchequer. Yet there is no reason why the Pope should not live in a style becoming a king, but bis own dislike of pomp and naturally simple tastes.

Leaving the gilded saloons of the show part of the palace, you pass through a door carefully guarded by two of the noble guard with drawn swords. A small passage conducts to the guards' waiting room, where orderlies and officers in waiting attend. Another room is allotted to the groom of the chambers, a prelate in his violet robes. The next is the ante-cliamber where the Monsignori, private chamberlains of his holiness, are in attendance. You tap at the next door, and it is opened by another Monsignori, who, assured of your right of entree, lifts a silk curtain and you are in the presence.

The room strikes you as singularly bare. There is no carpet on the stone floor, the articles of furniture are few and by no means costly. There is a large book-case filled with works mostly bound in parchment. A prie-Dieu (praying chair) with a velvet cushion, an exquisite little Madonna, by Canova, in alabaster, on a bracket, stands over the •prie-Dieu. and a well worn, commonly bound book of Nours lies on the edge of the prie-Dieu, together with a crucifix, a reliquary and a common rosary. There is a little china holy-water stoup at the door, an exceedingly fine portiait of the Pope hangs over the mantel shelf, on which is a time-piece of the Louis Quinze

period,

in ormolu, and two statuettes

of St. Joseph and the Good Shepherd. There are no curtains to the windows, which overlook the Vatican garden.

In the centre of the apartment is a large writing desk, such as stand in the private cabinet of Louis XVI. at Versailles. It has two large compartments, filled with pigeon holes, in which are bundles of papers. A crucifix sta ids between these compartments, with the wounds and agony of the Redeemer finely painted and awfully real. The inkstand is a very common one of china, with a pouncet box to match a bundle of quills lies near it, and apiece of soiled rag, on which pens have been wiped this many a day.

A few books of devotion are also there. They are "The Imitation," Scupoli's "Spiritual Combat," "Devotions of St. Francis de Sales," a Breviary, a Bible, Rodriguez's "Spiritual Perfection," Signori's "Glories of Mary," "Life of St. Theresa," etc. There is a pile of French journals, the Revue des Dieux Mondes, the Civitta Cattolico, and other Italian papers. His Holiness sits in an arm chair, not meriting the title of easy, for it cruelly terminates in the middle of his back, and is rigidly constructed without regard to comfort. He is attired in a simple cassock of white flannel, with no Insignia of rank about it except his episcopal ring. His head is covered with a white skull cap. He lias been reading, and beside his open book is a common metal snuff' box and—let not my lady readers be horrified—a common red cotton handkerchief. Having made the usual reverences on my knees, he motioned me to approach.

As I recall the effect produced upon me by that interview, I do not wonder that half fanatical young men fresh from college, should yearn to die in his defense, as of old the Christain panted for the crown of martyrdom.— Galaxy.

A Mad Lion Strangled by a Man. The Pcriodico Official, of Monterey, Mexico, has the following

In the Meco River, near the village of General Brave, an incident has just taken place which is worthy of mention. Two young brothers, Eugenio and Jose Maria, sons of Don Frandisco Cantu, were engaged at cleaning out a well at a place called LQS Positos. Suddenly a rabid lion appeared, and as quick as lightning rushed upon one of the young men, Eugenio, knocking him senseless to the ground. The other young man, who is 20 years of age, on seeing the imminent danger of his brother, rushed in turn upon the beast, who immediately abandonhis prey, and furiously faced the one who intended to dispute him.

Jose Maria possesses an extraordinary strength, and having succeeded in drawing his arm around the beast in an advantageous manner, he attempted to choke it. The young man and beast rolled on the ground together for some time, and finally the beast freed itself from the hold of its oppressor, in a (lying condition, and the brave Cautu finished killing it by smashing its head with an agricultural instrument, which he was using at the time when he was attacked. The two young men were hurt more or less. The beast was attacked by hydrophobia.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—A servant girl who was sent, a day or two ago, to a druggist in this city, with a request that he would give her some castor oil disguised as much as possible, was asked by the druggist if she liked soda water, and replied in the affirmative. The druggist thereupon gave her a glass strongly flavored with lemon, with much oil cast upon the troubled water. Noticing that she lingered after receiving this, the druggist inquired into the cause, and was told that she was waiting for the oil. "Oh," replied the man of drugs, complacently, "you have taken that." The startled woman gazed at him in dismay a moment, and then exclaimed, "Oh, murder, I wanted it for a man who is verysick."

THE LAST JOKE.—The latest joke sprung on saloon keepers, says the Dubuque Herald, entitles the inventor to a patent right. Two men enter a saloonone is dry. the other wet, or at least not thirsty. One says, "Bill, what will you take?" Bill says, "I ain't dry and don't care about anything." The dry customer then advances to the bar, lays down a ten cent shinplaster, fills the tumbler full, drinks half of it, gives the rest to his partner, who by that time has become very thirsty, and smacking his lips, drains the glass, and both walk away, having procured two horns of whisky for ten cents.

A REBEL admirer of Raphael Semmes having eulogised him as she descendant of a long line, some one suggests that he ought to be suspended by a short one.
