SOUTHWESTERN RAILROAD.

Eleven Reasons Why lliis Appropriation Mioiild be Yoted. Our County Commissioners have ordered an election to be held in this township upon Monday, January 22d, "for the purpose of receiving and taking the votes of the legal voters of said township, upon the subject of an appropriation by said township of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to aid in the construction of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad."SHALL WK VOTE THIS APPROPRIATION?

It may be well, before attempting to answer this question, and at the outset, to say that the writer of this, has no connection "with this road, either as an officer, director, or stockholder, and n® pecuniary interests in it whatever, except as the buildiug of this road may operate to increase the growth and business prosperity of Terre Haute. We believe that the people of this city should vote for this appropriation for the following reasons:

First. Because, having no reliable water communication with the country surrounding us, we must mainly depend upon railroads, to assist and enable us to keep ami control the vast trade of those sections of our country which are naturally tributary to us.

Second. Because, when we come to muke the elfort to secure the establishment, in this city, of extensive and valuable manufactories, which shall employ a large number of men and thus conduce to the rapid and substantial growth of our beautiful city we will find that every railroad we have secured, will prove a valuable endorsement of the supetiur claims of Terre Haute as a manufacturing center.

Third. Because this road will pass directly through a portion of the State of Illinois made up of Jasper and Crawford and a part of Clark, Cumberland, Effingham, Clay, Richland and Lawrence counties a strip of country between forty and fifty miles from north to south and about sixty miles wide from east to west—which is absolutely without any railroad communication whatever, much of this country being fertile in the extreme and its inhabitants anxious to effect a railroad union with us.

Fourth. Because, the buildiug of this proposed Southwestern Railroad is rendered absolutely necessary to Terre Haute if she would retaiu and increase the valuable trade that she has always enjoyed from this section of country, by the fact that a company is now organized and at work seeking to construct a railroad from Danville through Paris and Marshall and Robinson,., to Yincennes, on the Ohio & Mississippi road, that will run twenty miles to the west and rear of Terre Haute, thus leaving us quite out in the cold, and cutting off almost entirely our southwestern trade and landing it within-a twelve-month either in Chicago or Viucennes. This road running as it does parallel with the Evansville, Terre Haute, Danville & Chicago road, in which this city has large monjed interests, will divide up the traffic now enjoyed by th.is line, and thereby lessen the value of the stock held in it by us.

Fifth. Because it is believed by those best competent to judge that it will not be long before this city of Tere Haute will become the grand center of the iron interests of this%cotthtry, if not of the entire world, andlf we are to realize this grand prophecy, its fulfillment will be greatiy hastened by the building of this road, as is intended, to the Mississippi river to connect with a road at that point leading to the celebrated iron mines of Missouri, this route being fifty miles shorter than by the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute road. &ixti. Because this project is in the hands of our own citizens, whose inter, jests are with us aud with the people of .the section of( country through which this road will pass, aud whom we know to be honorable, able aud conscientious men, who will neither undertake or promise to do any thing that they ctmnot perform.

Seventh. Because the officers and directors of this proposed road have given «very .possible guarantee to our citizens that not one single cent of this money asked for in thia appropriation shall be touched by them unless they can guarantee the construction of this road to Jlobinso$i, Illinois, or a point equi-dis-tant. This would give us a road about forty miles in length.

Eighth. Because this BSrjpttratiOTiCannot under the law receive any portion of the appropriation asked for until they have expended iu the construction of this road an amount equal to the one-half of the proposed appropriation, and cannot receive the remaining oue-lialf until the ijoad is constructed and a (rain of care

run over it as far as a point on the Wabash river twenty miles distant from this city.

Ninth. We should vote for this appro priation because the company agree locate their extensive machine shops a this place, which consideration in Itself will more than repay this city for the money she invests in this enterprise.

Tenth. Because the amount asked for from the township is not more than we should be willing to give, as it will only be about sufficient to construct the bridge that will be required for the use of this road over the Wabash river.

Eleventh. Because the amount asked for is not to be donated to the road, but exchanged for an eQital ctmount of the capital stock of said compang, which stock it is reasonable to suppose will be worth within a very short time, at least fifty cents upon the dollar, thus reducing the amount really given to the road to'about $75,000.

WHO SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS ROAD? First. Every laboring man in Terre Haute, because it will give profitable and constant employment to a large number of men.

Second. Every mechanic, because it will make Terre Haute grow and more houses will therefore have to be built, and more stores erected, and more machine shops will spring up, and thus mechanics will be kept busy aud reap largely of the benefits to be derived from this road.

Third. Every clerk should vote for this road for it will make trade lively, and so his services will be in demand.

Fourth. Every merchant will be benefitted by it and should, therefore, support it because this road will add greatly to the business of Terre Haute and "pour into their laps golden treasures."

Fifth. Every man who has a house or a store to let should favor this appropriation for this road will help him to keep them always filled with promptly paying tenants.

Sixth. Every professional man should vote for this road for he cannot fail to be benefitted by the rapid growth and continued prosperity of our town.

Seventh. Every small and every large property-holder and capitalist should favor this enterprise because this road will add at least ten per cent, to the value of all Terre Haute real estate.

Eighth. Everybody should vote jor this appropriation on Monday, Jan. 22, because there is no class or condition of men in this city that will not be benefitted by the building of this road.

IMPORTANCE OF A LARGE VOTE. It is now pretty certain that the vote upon this question will be favorable to this road. But this is not all we want. We want no half way endorsement of this project, but we must give it and its officers and directors an endorsement so emphatic that it will carry them with flying colors to the Mississippi river. Whether this road ever reaches that distant point or not depends very largely upon us. We must not rest content with simply giving this organization the appropriation asked for, but we must give it what will be to it more valuable than our money, namely, an expression of the utmost confidence of our citizens in the integrity and business skill of the men at the head of it. These men in carrying forward this great enterprise have got to go among strangers who know nothing of them aud who will therefore naturally feel less confidence in them than we do—and it is therefore all important that we give them so unmistakable an endorsement that it will inspire others with the confidence we feel in them. Let us give ttaem then "a good recommendation from home.11

Do not fail then to poll your vote next Monday in favor of this road, and prevail upon your neighbor to do likewise. Let us make this vote as nearly unanimous as possible, and by so doing we will secure the accomplishment of an enterprise thftt will do a great deal toward making our city the very first city in the State.

Southwestern Railroad.

A paper signed by a- number of citizens suggesting that the vote on the question of appropriating $150,000 to the Southwestern Railroad, should be postponed until large individual subscriptions have b'een obtained, strikes me as being very unfair afc&unreasonable.

It is unfair, because its publication lias been deferred until there is no time before the vote is ordered to be taken, to refer to original documents by which its suggested statements could be refuted, (and it can only now be stated from general information that there were no such sums) but were they all strictly true, it does not appear to me they have any just application to the question before us.

It is conceded in the paper referred to, that the Southwestern Railroad is a good enterprise, and one for which there should be liberal individual subscriptions, and the only objection suggested, is to levying a general tax before large individual subscriptions have been made. I am unable to see what practical difference this can make, as there need be no fear that full and ample opportunity will not be given to all persons desiring it, to take what stock they want in the Southwestern road. The books are open, and eVery citizen in the county has a fair opportunity to subscribe. As I understand it, this is not a close corporation, governed by a ring of speculators. No one-man power will govern its proceedings. The Directors who control everything are our oldest and most respected citizens—engaged in legitimate occupations, having no interest or motive in accepting the positions they hold, except to promote the publie interest. Having, myself, known most of them for thirty years or more, I have the most perfect confidence that they will fulfill to the letter, every promise they have made in regard to the Southwestern road. They have agreed to withdraw their petition for the tax, and abandon the enterprise entirely, if by the first of June next, they have not the meaua at their control to complete thirty-five or forty miles of the road. What more can we reasonably ask than this?

The fa«t has been repeatedly published

that we must take hold of this matter with vigor at once, or abaudon it altogether. The difficulties are daily increasing, but if the measure is properly supported in Harrison township next Monday, I have DO doubt that within twelve months we shall have 35 miles of the Southwestern road iu operation, and then I am confident all will be satisfied that our money has been well appropriated. S.

Letter from York, Illinois. W. B. TCJELL, ESQ.—Sir:—1The people of this vicinity are enthusiastic over the prospect of the Southwestern road. The result of the meeting in your city last Saturday evening has given confidence in the enterprise and removed a multitude of doubts that augur well for your success.

Carry your township elections and that will give us a nucleus of capital that will grow beyond your most sanguine expectation. There is a unanimous feeling from the poorest widow to the wealthiest farmer that there must be a uuited effort to push this road through with all the capital that can be commanded, and all the energy that can be thrown into it.

The engineers on the Danville, Paris & Yincennes Railroad are here preparing to locate their road. They will make their strongest effort to get their road through first and get command of the Wabash Valley trade. From Terre Haute via York, Robinson, Olney and Carbondale to Cape Girardeau, is one great garden, divided here and there by streams of water and belts of timber. There is not a richer soil or a more productive country traversed by any railroad in the great West, and there is no road that can carry the trade half so far into the interior from your city as the proposed Southwestern.

If your merchants and mechanics continue iu their liberal and honest business tact and qualities, their business can be limited only bv the Mississippi river.

Additional Local New?.

COL. HUDSON don't seem to be such a red hot Democrat as formerly.—Mail. Major Smith, the good-looking Mail editor, is not so "red hot" on the Woman's Rights question as formerly.

THE Evening GAZETTE ought to have its name changed to that of the Terre Haute RAILROAD GAZETTE, judging from its advocating all railroad movements which it thinks will benefit the city and from its columns being filled from day to day with railroad matters.

WOLFE & MCCLUNG, successors to Beauchaump & Wolfe at the Third street livery stable, are fixing things up in good shape. They have added several new rigs, aud are prepared be accommodate all who want anything in that line. Give them a call and know how it is to drive a good horse.

FASHION says that the French women are the best dressed in the world, German women have the most luxuriant heads of hair, the Spanish women the smallest hands and feet, Italian women the most brilliant complexions, South Americans the most beauty, and American women the most style.

ME. REESE P. ENGBISH has disposed of his interest in the Miner office, his stock having been purchased by Isaac Herr. Mr. English has not yet fully determined where he will go into business.—Brazil Miner.

Reese is a first-class printer and an affable and altogether genial fellow, and we wish him success wnatever be the enterprise into which he embarks.

THERE was a little hop at the Palmer last night in honor of Harry Jones' safe return from Terre Haute.—Indianapolis Journal.

It is thought by Harry's many friends in Indianapolis, that he will not be able to return alone to his home from this place. If he is "assisted" home by the one we surmise, it may be well for him "that it is so."

JOAQUIN MILLER says in one of his poems that he sang "because he could but sing," to which the Louisville Cour-ier-Journal responds: If he wants to break himself of the habit, let him take an editorial position on a daily newspaper, and if it don't knock the poetry out of him in six months, then the divine fire upon the altar of his soul is unquenchable.

THE Indianapolis Journal, of this morning, says that "this afternoon at the matinee, and this evening at the usual hour,'Shin Fane' will be presented for the last times here, and Mr. T. G. Riggs will make his farewell bows to the public. His engagement has been a moderate success, and should have been even more profitable. Mr. Riggs and the Academy will bring out 'Shine Fane' in Terre Haute next week, and we commend them to the good people of the Prairie City."

THE Printers' Ball, at Terre Haute, on the anniversary of Franklin's birthday, the 17th, was a fine affair, evey thing passing off' to the entire satisfaction of everyone preseut. The floor managers and introductory committee were untiring in their labor to make all happy and comfortable. Had there been about twenty more ladies or that number less of gentlemen, the ladies that were there would have had a little more rest. As it was most of the engagements for the entire evening were filled on the ladies' programmes before 10 o'clock. The supper was spread in tke room below, and was pronounced by all as superb. Everything that could be desired was to be had, aud in abundance. No one can ever say but that the printers know how to give a party, and make it a success.—Marshall Herald.

THE DAILY GAZETTE.—Business with the bindery of this establishment took us around to the office, where we found Mr. Rose, the business manager, in the counting-room, and he succeeded in making us believe that he was glad we called. He said that he was then employing three men in the job room, and that it was difficult to keep up with his orders. He is considered one of the best busiuess managers in Terre Haute, and as a result the GAZETTE is making money. All of his presses were running and while conversing with us he received a $35 ball ticket from Vincennes. Mr. Lindsly, his job foreman, is considered the best printer in that branch of the business in the western ceuntry, besides he is much of a gentleman acd attentive to business.—Marshall Mewenger.

Those Dreadful Uallet Girls. Does not it teem as if the "Black Crook" ballet girls would never stop coming and going and twirling around. The tired youth in the audience rush out every five minutes for a drink but there is no rest for the weary legs on the stage. Men may come and men may go, but the ballet girls go on forever. There is a great deal of cutting up among the critics as well. Is there not just a little too much gentlemeu of the press Does not these poor, painted, unlovely fiirls earn in a weary way their scanty wages? And who knows how many mouths are fed by that wearisomely earned money How hard it is to live, too, with food and fuel up to such frightful rates. You wouldn't like to .stand all night with nothing but a ribbon tied round your waist for dress, and balance yourself on one leg, or prance round the stage swinging a red silk flag over your head like a mad merman, for the sake of earning money enough to buy yourself and your children a breakfast, would you 01), no that's different, you know. But then, pity them a little, and do not sneer at them. All ways of life are weary enough, and pity is like the gentle rain from Heaven—aud very sweet to a tired soul.—New York Citizen.

HAIR VIGOR.

aier'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands ftrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
