FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17,187J.

New Albany & Terre Haute Railroad. We are somewhat in a quandary to learn, from the New Albany papers, the precise condition and prospects of the N. A. & T. H. Railroad. The Ledger asserts that it is in the hands of capitalists and railroad men living in the city of New York and St. Louis, and will be built in eighteen months.

The New Albany Stnndard, on the contrary, says:

"It

is very evident that a railroad be tween this city and Terre Haute would not only bo of incalculable benefit to the citizens and property holders of both cities, and to the people along the line, but it would be also a paying institution. It would tap, and in the riht direction too, the best mineral regions of Indiana. It would open up to our manufactories large fields of coal and iron, easily worked and of superior quality. Great advantages would accrue to New Albany by the building of this road and it is more than likely that we would have securod more from it than from the one now being constructed. But the people have elected the line now being so vigorously pushed forward, and we would not say one \yord that

throw any obstacle in the way

of its early completion or its success when completed. While, then, everything is to be gained by the building ot a road between this city and Terre Haute, we must stand by and see the thing a failure, for a failure it will be, and all the brains and ink spent in Us advocacy will be just that much substance and fluid thrown to the dogs. It is not to be expected that the citizens of New Albany and Terre Haute will alone build this road, and therefore some help must bo expected from t&ose who live along the lino. Either Bedford or Mitchell will secure the outlet from the we9t. The people of Mitchell could do their part, and the people of Bedford will be found competing for the prize with equal energy. There will be no difticulty in this regard. Mitchell is at present, however,

too

much financially

pressed in regard to the llockport branch of the Cincinnati road, and her resources may bo cramped. With Bedford the case is different but we only refer to these matters, because they come in the line of the discussion of the feasibility of building the Now Albany & Terre Haute Railroad.

After leaving Lawrence conntj- we will then moot with the insurmountable ob-HtriK-lions that will prevent the success of this grout enterprise. In Greene county the grentor portion of the iron and coal is to be found. The lands on which these minerals exist are all leased to two men in Greene county who are wealthy, selfish and devoid of enter prise. They talk about railroads, and say they are anxious to have one, and propose to do everything in their power to secure one but every effort they make to secure anything of the kind has a negative effect. The conduct of these two'men has been not only disastrous to the town in which they live, Blooinfield, but to the entire eastern portion of the county.

When the Torre Haute «fc Bloom field Rail roars was the great excitement in Blooinfield, and when it took ouly a little over $12,000 to secure it, (these two men had only subscribed $1,000 each,) one of the citizens offered to become one of twelve or one of six men to take up tho balance of the stock, and thus put the road under contract but these two positively refused to do anything further.

A gentleman engaged in the iron business, in one of the more Eastern States, came to Bloomfield and bffered to take $20,000 worth of stock in the Terre Haute road, and iusure its construction, if these two individuals would give him a half interest in the leases they controlled.

This thev refused, but we believe offered to sell him their leases at exhorbitant figures. No people, no company, no capitalists would want to build a road through a rich mining country, where its mining interests would be thus embarrassed, and through Greene county they would be hence we think it is all folly to talk about the New Albany ft Terre Haute Railroad, until the obstruotional two above referred to are dead, or have left that country, bag and. baggage of which there is little hope just at present."

The editor of the Standard admits the practicability of this road says it would be of "incalculable benefit to.the citizens aud property holders of both cities that "it would tap, and in the right direction too, the best mineral regions in Iudiana "that it would opeu to our manufactories large fields of coal and iron,easily worked and of superior quality." But, with all these important advantages the editor is of the opiuion that the "thing will be a failure." This is a strange kind of argument. The editor then intimates that the people along the liue are uot prepared to help build the road, and then shows, by counties, that they an

What the Standard says about the leases iu Greene oouuty, is much of it bosh. There are millions of acres of the finest coal and miueral lands

that

region, not covered by leases, and the influence of the individuals to which the Standard refers, can not, in the least, impede the progress of a work as necessary aa tfare edltor seems to think this one. A railroad fr*m this city to New Atbauv,.. is an important movement one that" ought uot to fail, and will not if in the hands of right kind of men. It will cross the great belt of block coal, and traverse the very route where there is inexhaustible deposits of iron ore so contig^MiiS to the coal with which it can be smelted, that with a shovel you ean pitch both into the furnace, from their original

not amount to anything. He wants nothing to do with the folks in "spiritual world" unless they "can talk more sensibly and wisely than their friends report them to do." He finds in the nonsense coming through the "mediums" only "an additional argument against suicide." Very severe is Mr. Huxley upon twaddle-talking "mediums," hired at a guinea a seance.

manifestations,"

a sensible man cannot do it. The moment he begins to read the stuff professing to come from great shades, he grows skeptical in spite of himself. When Geo. Washington says, "Ever the roseate truth floats through the infinite abyss of the eternal, and ever it will continue to do the same," what are we to think?

A FUNNY paragraph is on it3 travels about a^ girl in Vermont who, having sued her lover for breach of promise, laid her damages as follows: Nine shillings per week for "setting up," with cost of lights and fuel added in. We may laugh as much as we please at this, but the girl is a sensible damsel, and we hope that she got a verdict. Bringing actions for damage to the feelings and injury to the heart, and for the value of pangs aud delicate disappointments, is a great deal more mercenary than asking for remuneration for loss of time and even of fires and lights. A sharp girl has a perfect right to say that, but for the wicked conduct of the dishonest swain, she might have married somebody else and lawyers, when they go to the jury for the swindled plaintiff, should put the case in that way.

might spoil their eloquent

pathos but, after all, that sort of thing has become hackneyed and unimpressive. Business is business, aud most women iu this kind of litigation mean business and nothing else.

Is THERE any thing that New Yorkers will not do? Recently in a suit brought by the widow of a passenger killed by the explosion of the Staten Island steamer Westfield, to recover damages, the owners of the vessel yesterday set up the extraordinary plea that the passenger had no right on the boat because, under the laws of- the State, Sunday traveling is a misdemeanor! That is to say, it was illegal for the murdered man to travel on Sunday, and therefore legal to blow him up on that day.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, 11th

The Next Presidency.

The fall elections are over. Congress soon begins, and directly the country will be plunged into the excitements of a new Presidential campaign. The first and mail: interest, of course, centers upon the nomination of the Republican party, which will be made in June, aud, whether we wdGld or not, it is impossible to postpone the agitation of the question who it shall be. The elections settle this much—that the next President will be a Republican, and, probably, the nominee of the Republican National Convention. Those who never give mere than thirty-day paper in their political speculations, like Geu. Wilson, hold that it is equally certain that this can be no other than Gen. Grant. But the very eagerness of the people to discuss the matter proves that this is not settled and with the gathering of our Congressmen and other politicians at Washington in December, there will be gin a serious canvass—first for and against the renomination of Gen. Grant, and, second, in the contingency of his success, for a combination of all the elements of opposition to him. There will be abundant opportunity, and indeed necessity, for discussing the details of the question involved in these efforts, as they go on and ripen with the season. For the present, these observation are at least pertinent and timely.

First—The Democratic party has no hope of rallying under its old banners and wish candidates out of its own ranks.

Second—If theRepublican party maintain its unity, it will carry the country as easily and as completely next year as the old Democratic party did after the war of 1812.

Third—The renomination of General Grant is now, apparently the only thing that can endanger this unity. A large number of the very best leaders of the Republican party are opposed to him. Some of them will certainly resist his election, if uomiuated. The grounds of this opposition is not necessary now to describe. Many of them are inherent to the personal character of the President and the personal policy of his administration. Some of the others may be qualified, if not- removed, by the actiou of Congress and the Executive during the next six months.

Fourth—The Republican party, in view of its history, with its moral inspirations and its intellectual leaderships, as well as in view of the aroused state of public feeling on the subject of reforms in the administration of all branches of the Government, ought to have a different leader from General Grant, one more in sympathy with its moral and intellectual tone, its reforming and progressive traditions, and more earnest, by temperament and associations, for the elevatious and improvements in the offices of our Government, and the character of its representatives, which the people are so earnestly demanding, and the success of republican institutions so grievously needs.

Fifth—It would certaiuly have one, if all the men in the party who think it ought to have one would say BO, and work together to secure one.

Sixth—The present prospect is, that they will not do so. Their fears, their jealousies, aud the iuflueuee of the executive power, backed by the potent rings of office-holders aud railroad monopolists that naturally gather around the successful party and the possessory Administration, are likely to weakeu their, eouvictionsand divide their efforts.

Seventh—Nothing but the continued rapid growth of the rising independent habits of the people in political, aud especially party matters, and the still bolder expression of their stern detit&tidg for a higher and better class of men in the public service—men not only pledged to, but ia sympathy with, the reforms that our whole government system is suffering for—will be likely to break tbe strong combination of special aud personal Interests, aided by the possession of nation*! power, that are gathering about the renominatiou and reelection, of Gen. Grant.

Eighth—Believing that the party and the country ought to have a better head than the present President, the Republican will labbt%lth those who are striving to secure one. They may fail indeed, We admit, they are likely to but the effort is a high duty of intelligent patriotism and independent journalism, and there cau be only a degree of failure iii all labor so iuspired. General Grant will be abetter President, if he succeeds, for the country go up higher. But there are many men, any one of whom, it seems to us will be more useful to the country as President for the next four years, than he can possibly be. Certainly there are men, who as candidates for the first office, will save the party from the division and reorganisation that his nomination not only threatens but insures. There area dozen such at least, whose nomination would destroy the moire* jgent tfrat with Wm pertain to

made to organize a great and hopeful opposition. A9 the Boston Advertiser significantly says, "it is the true part of wisdom" for the Republican party, as is thus threatened, impossible, by removing the pretexts for it Of the President's friends, for instance, whese leadership would remove all pretexts for such division and opposition, there are Colfax, and Boutwell, and General Hawley of equally good Republicans, who have more or Ies*t separated in personal sympathies from the Administration, are Mr. Sumner, and Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, Horace Greeley, General Cox, of Ohio, Senator Trumbull and Judge Davis, of Illinois, Gratz Brown, of Missouri, and Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania. Indeed, as it did not seem safe for the Republicans to nominate any other than Grant in 1868, so it is hardly safe for it to renominate him now. It can elect next year almost any one of the men we have mentioned, more easily than it can re-elect him, arid with a better promise of beneficent results to the country.
