FOR GOYERJiOR IN 1872,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF IXOYI

We have no doubt but the citizens ot the flourishing village of Marshall will feel under many obligations to "Taxpnyer" for thus advocating their interests, but what has Terre Haute to do with building a road from Marshall southwest? We want roads to run into and from this city, not some other city. Why does not "Tax-payer" favor going down to Sullivan aud starting from there and ruuning to Robinson? There is just as much sense iuitasstarting from Marshall, so far as all the interests of this city is concerned. Both would bo decidedly against our interest, and both equally so.

But says "Tax-payer," "fifteen miles' of the road from Marshall is already graded and can be made available. Yes and just here is the danger. If the Terre Haute & Southwestern road is not built from this city, this road from Paris through Marshall and on to Vincennes, will be built, and this city will lose ail the trade that she now gets, and would continue to get, from the very section through which the T. H. & S. W. road proposes to run. We have had an example of how this can be done, by the Indianapolis Vincennes road taking from us all our trade from Greene and Owen counties. Does "Tax-payer" desire that this city should again be deprived of her natural trade? If so defeat the Southwestern Railroad from this city, and encourage the completion of the one from Paris to Vincennes, and he will succeed to his utmost wishes.

Railroad.

A portion of our fellow-citizens have addressed a circular to the "Managers of the Southwestern Railroad Company," in which they complain that the company has not taken more stock, and intimate tliey should subscribe as much stock as is asked for from this township. This is all well enough, if the "managers" desired todo it,but every individual is supposed to be the best judge himself as to the amountof stock heean take in any public enterprise. Tlxe stockholders of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad have taken as much stock as the statute of the State requires they should to complete their organization, and the books of the company are at the National State Bank, where any of our citizens can subscribe for as much stock as they desire. The law requires that the corporation shall be composed of fifteen members, and that the members thereof shall subscribe for an amount of stock which will equal one thousand dollars per mile of the couuties through which the road is to run in this State. All this has been done by the corporators, and it is unreasonable to ask them to do more than the law requires.

We hope these gentlemen who desire that $150,000 of the stock of this road shall be taken, before the people of the township vote that much, will at once go to the National State Bank, and subscribe euough, when added to the amount already subscribed by the company, to make $150,000. We would be glad to see this done, and believe these gentlemen will not insist on others doing, that which they fail to do themselves.

Au Answer.

As an answer to those of our citizens who fear that if the people on Monday vote to asses a tax of $150,090 to assist in building the Southwestern Railroad, that the entire sum may be expended and no railroad completed, we here quote the language of the statute on that subject

SECTION IB. No donations of money shall be made to any railroad company by such Board of County Commissioners until the railroad to be constructed shall have been permanently located and work thereon done and paid for by the company equal to the amount of the donation then made nor shall to exceed fifty per cent, of the money voted to be appropriated to such railroad company be donated and paid over to the company until the iron is laid upon the road and a train ot cars shall have passed over the entire length thereof in such county or township, as the case may be.

That is pretty clear, and shows how guarded is this money by the conditions of the st&lute, and how impossible it would be to use it and not at the same time get the road.

How it Looks.

Some oppoueuts to the Southwest road think we have enough roads now, and that there is hardly room for any more. This reminds us of a lot of old fogies who .. are always predicting that we are building too many houses, and that there are more here now than people to live

&& I bunding houses, and it is £ud

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1872.

"Tax-payer."

It is difficult to know just how to answer the "Tax-payer" correspondent of the Express, in his hostility to the Southwestern Railroad. There is so much of it, and so much that is not appropos to the case, that we incline to take only his leading idea and make some suggestions in relation to it. "Tax-payer" opposes running a road from this city to the Mississippi river, but favors ruuning one from Marshall, and puts the following question as a clincher: "But how, it may be asked, is this route by Marshall to be made available? Fifteen miles is already available, from Marshall to Darwin, and so on to Robinson, with the road already graded and cash subsidies secured and in. the hands of trustees, a company is organized, and they ho 1.1 the charter and franchises."

thing yoil see "To Let," stuck up on any of them. More houses, more people and the more railroads we have, the more houses we will want. It i3 railroads that build cities, and there can be no city without them.

All Can Vote.

There is an. impression prevailing in •ome quarters that none but property holders can vote Monday at the railroad election. This is a mistake. The language of the statute is, all the "qualified voters of the township." Hence, it will be seen, that all persons who can vote at any election, are qualified to vote at thi3 one. Let, therefore, the entire voting population turn out and vote to build this road.

Go And Vote.

In a matter of such vital importance as securing another railroad, to run in a southwesterly direction from this city, certainly every citizen of Terre Haute is deeply interested. None can excuse themselves from taking an interest, and none ought to forget or delay going to the polls and voting. It behooves the friends of the enterprise to be on the alert.

T. H. & S. W. Bailroad.

The "Vigo" correspondent of the Jour nal aud Exqress of this morning says some very good things in relation to the Southwestern Railroad, and we take the liberty of making some extracts from it. "Vigo" says: "I have been surprised at the amount of pettifogging used in the newspapers to kill oif the above enterprise. There seems to be a studied effort to pull the wool over tho eyes of the people of this township, for the purpose of securing an adverse vote on Monday next. The question involved is simply one of dollars and oents on the one hand, and prosperity, progress and the building up of Terre Haute on the other. We will have to pay some money to secure a great good to the city. That is admitted. It will cost ine several hundred dollars. And in return for that expenditure, what is to corne to us? I answer: Increased trade, an extension of the area of business, the coming in of capital, the building up of manu lacturing establishments, the profitable employment of our noble mechanics and laboring men, the consciousness that we have discharged a duty to our young and growing city, and that we want it to grow faster than ever before.''7

Look at our steady progress. The St. Louis & Terre Haute road, running through the finest country on earth soon followed the Terre Haute & Indianapolis then the Evansville & Crawfordsville after awhile the Vandalia extension toSt. Louis than the new railroad from Terre Haute to Indianapolis and, to give us a Chicago connection, the city subscribed 8100,000 to the Terre Haute, Danville fc Chicago Railway. And that was a wise expenditure. He is a dull man who cannot. see the Bdvantages of all these roads to Terre Haute. He must be a stubborn man who refuses to acknowledge them.

Now, we want a railroad pointing Soiith west to the Mississippi river, to save the trade of the finest portion of Illinois, and to giv9 us a railroad connection with the ''Father of Waters." It will cost this township §150,000, to be paid only when the road is built and cars are running through oar county to Terre Haute. This is to be raised by'a tax on all our citizens, in ex act proportion to what they have of this world's property. Those who have much, can afford to pay much those who have little, will have to pay but little—those who have no taxables will not be called upon at all by the tax collec tor. This is a good Christian doctrine, applied to this world's business, and none but very shabby Christians will grumble at its fairness. Like the good old stingy Methodist who "thanked God for a free Gospel," declaring that he "had belonged to church forty years, and that it never cost him but twenty-five cents." Aud so it is with some of our monied men. They want railroads built, schools established, and great enterprises set on foot for the benefit of Terre Haute, but a single twenty-five cents would break them down in heart and pocket. Let men of enterprise, poor and rich, give direction to those measures of policj' which are essential to the building up of a prosperous city. To do this, let there be a union of all to see that the Southwestern Railroad enter prise shall receive a commanding majority on Monday next. VIGO

Jan. 19,1872.

"fax-payer" and the S. W. R. R. Editor of lerre Haute Gazette: It requires a good degree of charity and Christian fortitude for a citizen of Terre Haute to read the article of "Tax-payer" in this morning's Express and not become angry, at least somewhat riled, to think that a man living in Clay county (as I am informed "Tax-payer" does) and straining every nerve in the interest of that county and its coal shafts, a thing he could not conceal in his article, though intended to be adroitly covered up, and presuming to speak and act as though he was the only man in the city who thought of or had the interest of Terre Haute foremost in his mind. When one knows all this aud the motive, it is difficult to be quiet, and "put to sleep," as he says.

No one will deny that "Tax-payer" lias lived a long time in Terre Haute that he still owns valuable property here that all he has he made here, and that after a long and active struggle he has retired from the conflict at this point, and becomes interested somewhere else, and now writes as though he did not care how much he crippled the place that made him, if he could, by so doing, save a little contribution towards an improvement, niuetenths of her citizens oeliev# to be for her material interest. If it were understood that all this attempt to cripple the southwestern interest of Terre Haute comes really from a man now working in the interests of Brazil, and intended while crippling Terre Haute to pufl the coal interests of Clay county, and that, too, by a man having his business interests centered there, it would be very easy for every one to look beneatli the mask and read the motive that prompts all this long effusion over the signature of. "Tax-payers."

It is not that the article referred to ionores the Southwestern Railroad, for it does not, but because it looks bad in persons at a distance as something from Terre Haute confessing to a very poor prospect for resources in one-fourth of the circle that surrounds Terre Haute. If this part of the country now really was a poor soil,or an impoverished place where a wolf could uot make his meat, it might even then be of questionable propriety for us to confess to the damaging truth but When it is known that this portion of the country is teeming with fatness and wants only an outlet foir its surplus, it certainly looks badly for a citizen of Terre Haute to parade from day to day these long-winded articles in the face of the citizens of that part of the country, and tell them to take their little traps around by the way of

ing that we are now groaning under the enormous carrying trade of the coal shafts of Clay county, and cannot stop to bother with the little corn and the few hogs we can raise, all not being equal to one coal shaft in Clay county.

Does not all this look as though Clay, county was uppermost in the writer'^ mind? Certainly our, business men dt|' not talk that way they are all for this enterprise. Our business men know that to encourage railroad building is to encourage manufactures. They know that a railroad such as this, that will' oost at

of a long road, will

bring more money, moxe trade demand, more labor, make employment for more men, build up more houses and eventual more manufactures than any other project that can be started. They know that railroads bring furnaces, rolling mills, iron workers, wood workers, more certainly than any other branch of business. They know and feel that Terre Haute cannot become a manufacturing town until it completes its connections with the surrounding country, and makes it a desirable point to locate such things in. And they know, too, that if they are "put to sleep" by such a policy as this, advocated by men who have only to receive the interests on their mortgages and money loaned on their bonds aud stocks, and can sleep all the time just the same, that they will starve who must work for their bread, and have no such resources

ME NEW YORK TRIBUNE

FOB 1S73.

The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impotent, into OUJ powerful State, with "Rome as its capital the humiliation ot France through a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her iroud and gay metropolis the expulsion of tlie

Bourbons from the Spanish throne, aua the substitution lor them of a scion of the most liberal among royal liuuses the virtual absorption ®t' the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurttemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &c,., under the headsnip of Prussia, into the triumphant ani powerful empire of Germany aud the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed bht never relinquished designs uii the great city founded by Coustantine and the vast but decaying and anarchical dominion of the Suitan.all combine to invest with profound interest the everchanging liases of our tidiiigs from tlie Old World. THE TRIBUNE, through truste correspondents stationed at, all p-ints in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, alius to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that nti nent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesiastlcism on the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticism and secularism on tlie other. Recognizing a Divine Piovidence In all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seaming chaos, a fairer future for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own country, a war upon corruption ... and. mscailty in office has been inauguiated in the city of Terre Haute, in our city, wliereuy the government of our State has beeu lvvolu1 ionized through an initial triumph of reform wliich surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally cer'.ain thit the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in itsprogre-s, be circumscrib to any party, bat that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of tne Union, rebuking venalitv, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by ade,and confiding it in those worthiest and fitte to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Kelorm, The Tribune will devote its besi ene.gies regardless of personal inteiests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to oltlce as ot all Nt-w Departures the most essential and auspicious.

The virtual surre. der by the Democratic party of its hostility to *qual Rights regardless of color has divested our current politics of half theirjln gone intensity. However parlies may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fuud.tnif ntal principles wliich have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as pracdcally accepted b» the whole country. The right ol every man to his own limbs and sinews—the equality ot all citizens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its pt opie—the drt-y of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjo ment ot his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad aud Ann foundations of our National edifi-'e and palsied be the hand that seeks to displace them! Though not.\-t twenty years old, the Republican party has completed the noble fabric of Emancipation, anil may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God.

Hencelorth, the mi sion of our Republic is one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the week and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings of Civilization—to stimulate Ir.geuuity to tne production ot new inventions for econoiniz'ng Labor and thus enlarging Pioduction—to draw j.earer to each other the producers ot' Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Jndu-try by reducing the cost ot transportation and exchanges between tanners and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now ad'lresse- itselt, and by which it would fain contribute to tbepio-ure-s, enlightenment and happintssof our race. To this great and good WOIK, The Tribune contributes its zealous, persistent efforts.

Agriculture will continue to be more especially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi-Week-ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most success'ni tillers of the soil will contribute. I*o farmer who selis s300 worth of produce per annum can afford to do witnoutour Market Reports, or others equally lucid and mprehensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we beiieve that no farmer woo can read at all can afford to do without such a journal as Th Tribune. And we aspire to make itequally valuable to those engage inothordsiiartments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each yenr, as our countrymen's genei ons pntionage enables us to do andwoaie resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872.

There seems no other way out of the dilemma, and we invite the entire population of Terre Haute and the surrounding country to this

Our prices for Winter Goods will be the lowest ever known in Indiana, since the close of the great rebellion, and sale will be one of the heaviest blows the High-priced system has ever received at our hands.

In December last we bought a little too heavily ot Sprague, Merrimack, Pacific and Cocheco in dark colors. While they are just the thing ior winter wear, they are not light enough lor our spring trade. We have, therefore, decided to place on sale our ENTIRE STOOK of

Coclieco, Sprague, Merrimack and Pacific Prints at 9c.

Yard-wide English Prints, worth 2oe, at 12£c. Common Prints, 5c. Fast-colored Prints at 8c. We shall lose considerable money on these Prints, and other kinds of goods not suitable ior spring wear, but we are determined not to be overloaded with winter goods when the spring opens. *4
