in onr last, wc fommenteu tno puo
Ikation of t he story of 'Lllfti Daa
rell."anl (or.titiue it this week, and
sha't so continue it each w.ck until !
completed. We regret that in th i
,
hurry ot correct in proof, some trrors
crept into the nrst chapter, one m
particular, the spelling of "aurora hor-
lis." The intelligent reader will de
tect soeh inaccuracy, but e regret
them.
Our fr.end "II. 1. J." is quite right
when he ventures to suppose that onr
columns are open to all on the railroad
question, whether inside or outside of
onr private views. We think all ques
tions ought to be examined. To do so,
the press should be free. We have cur
notions about railroads ; but they may
bo wrong, and are therefore the sal -jett
of fommeat. No well written ar
ticle on the subject, be its views what
they may, will be rejected, even if
abusive of onr-elves.
Democrats can have but little choice,
we should think, between Si ill rz, or
fiOAf, or IlK.iitERso, or any other rad
ical, for the Senate. They are al! off
the same bolf, so far as the main issne,
though Hr.-NPttisoN may have the ad
vantage of decency, and one good act.
!nt Le is not to be trusted, lie is not
worthy of cunfi bmce. Drake is at
Jefferson working hard to beat the
Herman infidel, Scuta, and lo elect
lif.s. Loan. We have but little choice
between the men.
Many of the papers with which we
eX'-bange suk ol the Rodman villainy
with disgust. Nm more. If every one
of them in the Sta'e, headed by the
Kc pu'jlican, would demand hit expul
sion from place, or his dead carcass on
' the gatloAs, it woiiM be more manly,
and at the same timo more likely to
; have at effect on the old sconndrel.

Mr. Iais when tie is t-ear-' It iu sai.i I
that some radical leaders around Wash- i
ington applaud the act of Mr. Jutivsox, i
and will sustain it. It net Is nothing
of this tort. The act sustains itself,
us a matter of course. If Mr. John
son had no power to jrunt amnesty, of
course he would not have done so : but
he has granted pardons, at separate
t i
tines, to ail, aim none have oljccte 1,
because they had no right to. Upside
this, it lct9 tho radical parly out of a
a dilemma that the leaders have fell
and foarcd, and hence this procrasti
nation. Most of tho leaders felt that,
if Mr. Davis were ever tried on the
charge nf treason, he would s acquit,
ted, and tho rght of secession be thus
established, and to avoid a decision so
nsasirous to mongreiisrn ami mnn
archy, so killing to democracy the pro

the issue ; and we doubt whether th
great statesman would not to-day rath
er the matter in controversy had
gone to adjudication, that a principle,
well settled in most Southern and New
Knland mini's, might have been eith
er established or so presented as to
have been better understood.
The trouble on the Ogecchee, in
fieorgla, has been quieted, but i ot be
fore the United States soldiery was
called in. We are not going to say
what the trouble originated about, or
which of the j a-ties are in tbe r ght.
It may have teen one or the other, or
even both. I'ut, be that as it may, the
trouble only shows the two descrip
tions of people, with the thieving carpet-baggers,
cannot live together in
harmony. We have seen a cage of
animals -together, in which- several
kinds, supposed to be antagonistic, t on-,
sorted in apparent happiness. I'.ut the
experiment of reducing the white man
to the standard of the "colore gen
tleman," or elevating the "colored gen
tleman" to that of the educated white
man in the same society, will fail, as
fail it ever should. It is a pity the
negro is misled by it. The white man
is not, any further than he may steal.
Our neighbor does ourselves, and his
reader, the justice to copy our article
in legard to the old rullian Uoo.ma.n,
and asks-"Anothcr rebellion, brother!
.. , I
Ji i.ian." les, matter for another
rebellion, and riirhtful matter too,
something like the last, urged to pre
vent such incarnate scoundrels as Rod
man and his friends stealing from the
people. In the last, the villains only
desired to steal tie nigger, n w they
desire to steal his master.
The whole pack, from Ropman down,
ought fo lie hanged, together with those
who justify such outrages upon com
mon decency and common law.
The ex parson speaks of the people
as the rebellions, lle is too blind with
abolition meanness to Fee the rij;ht,
or to know the difference, between the
rebellious and those registered by law.

The condition at the South is by no
means i-ettcrcd. In Virginia, the peo
ple are disposed to buy the franchise
from the robbers in authority by grant
ing it to the negroes, a policy at once
scicidal to tbe State and its people, and
one which, we hope, tho grand old State
will never yield. The legislatures of
several of the States are iti spsaion; but

Besides this, "Joe" caught the rheuma
tism; his hind leg went up, but he
didn't, 'hough he has been three-legged
ever since.
Laboring under the mistaken idea
that he must go everywhere wo do, he
does it. A friend asked us how we
learned him to cipher.
"How's that ?" we inquired.

We felt for a button, but our friend
had vanished. A little further on, we
met a small boy; we putted bin. on the

he was a hice little hoy, and gave him
a dime; boy looked pleased; asked him
if he didn't want a nice little doggie;
small boy said'Uh! yes; will he catch
rats '!" We said, "you bet '." and walk
ed away as fast as possible. Next day
the boy came back crying, with "Joe"
iu his arm, and a note in his pocket.
We read the note :

Of all the days in the week we like
Sunday best, especially here in noisy
old St. Louis. Yesterday was one of
the most quiet, peaceful days we ever
passed. In the first place, the day was
beautiful, warm, sunshiny ; and, last
and lest, an almost death-like quiet
pervaded the city, which was peculiar
ly acceptable to us, after the din and
commotior. incident to Christmas holi
days. The churches were all well at
tended, and out wardly, at least to all
appearances, the citizens leturned
thanks to a fenetii ent in.aven for bless

A late work by Mrs. i;. ). K. N.
Southworth is receiving some pretty
sharp criticisms here, by some of our
reviewers. The ladv is styled fcv some
of the Kasiern papers the oueen of
American writers. One of our St.
L uis n viewers calls her an "ignorant
pretender, wh. has neither talent or
merit sufficient K've her either
equality with, or superiority over many
other American writers." We shall
not express an opinion, especially at
tiiis critical moment, when the pn of
tho reviewer is suspended like an aven
ging swurd over our own unprotected
head. Ye, we have laid our own of
fering, "Marie's Mistake," upon the
altar of American literature, and stand
aside, calmly
iwaiting the scat hmgs
ami darts ot criticisms which will he
1 launched at us, while we laughingly
cry out, "Mr. Reviewer, we don t care
what you say about our book :" Yet,
oh ! tbe quiverings of a sensitive heart,
an author's he-.irt. The bitter tears
shed in secret, bear pai'd'ul witness
that Jo dirt; that we will ted the
stitiirs of criticism, whether just or
unjust, which the placing of our hook
before the public will call forth. Wo
wonder it' one ol these hideous, horri
ble, outrageous reviewers ever wrote a
book. We don't like them very much,
yet sis wo present the most neatly
bound hooks we could find in our whole
package, how sweetly we smile, how
delicately we allude to their VUat knowl-
edge and experience; how humbly we
depreciate ourselves; yet all the time
we feel like strangling the self - conceit -
ed lit tle wretches upon the altar of
whose vanity authors are compelled to
olT'cr, almost daily-, a sacrifice. Well
our book must take its chances. You
cannot expect a very long or deeply

efforts ot a portion of the citizens of I
the county relating to the location and

and to a large portion of the tax-payers
to correct the erroneous impres
nions that Air. "W." wishes to make;
and if any have been misled by Lis
demagngism, simply to itsfer them to
the record of the county court to set
them aright in the matter.
The first statement ot M r. "V."thvt
i.eedu correction is, that "the people of
this county voted the ?;"Mj,0o0 with the
i under-la iding.hat, the road"woHld he

irg from that statement, not knowing
the facts, would infer that the Louisi

funds arising from the saie of bonds to
be issued by our conutv court under
Itistl'UctloIis Irom the Iieolile. who voteif
tho SoOO.000 in Mun h hi,t. The !
statement is as far trom the facts and
the truth as it couid well be male. It
tie "outraged people of Lalavette " of!
whom Mr. "W." assumes to he the
oracle those "who so liberally opened
their purses" are to be robbed of your

county yon, who are to be galley

-d, and not a dollar can nor ever will
be issued.
Not a dollar, Messrs. Kditors, has
been or ever will be issued tor the con
struction of any railroad whatever
tinder the voto" in March last. If
Mr. "W.'s" local interest of the county,
the interests of the dear people which
he seems to Lave so inucb at hears, ex
tended beyond his own quiet holds and
herding grounds, he certainly would
have sought the nei essary ii formation
from the archives of tbe county; and,
while these statements of his are calcu
lated to inflame one neighborhood
against another, before he entreats tbe
"honorable county court to satisfy the
people of Fre dom township lhat we
are again butn national, state a .d
county, he should so demean himself
as tc assure us that the people of La
lavette are one neighborhood, town
ship and county.
ihc facts hi regard to the very com
meniiai ie action of our county court,
in the railroad matter, are as follows ;
By a vote of the ( opie on the 14th
Novcmbei, liy, the county court was
dueeU'd by the people to issue 500,000
in county bonds, t u be appropriated
in the construction of a railroad from
Lexington to intercept the Pacific rail
road, lne win k as commenced and
prosecuted under the corporate name
of Lexington & St. Louis railroad com
pany until! lhe outbreak of the w-r.and
at that time was abandoned, and suit
was commenced against the company
for work and materials furniahed, and
an execution was obtained for the
amount demanded. No bonds were
ever issued, the county court being re
strained from the issue under an in
junction from the Supreme court.
From the commencement of the war
until the last year, this old road was
reckoned -mot.g the "tilings that were,"
and so soon as that grand project of a
great railroad thoroughfare was inau
gurated, from Louisiana on the Mis
souri river lo Kansas City, symptoms
of vitality were exh.bii.ed in the rem
nants of the old road.
March 7th, 1GVS, tbe county court of
Lafayette county ordered :
1. Shall the county of Lafayette sub
scribe SoOO.yoO to the capital stock of
a railroad running through the comity?
2. In what railroad cotnpajy shall
the subscription be m:ule ''.
ii. The company securing tho great
est number of votes shall be tho com
pany in w hich the slock shall be sub
scribed. The court to throw around
said amount such restrictions as in
their judgment will secure the building
ol the road.
This action of the. county court re
vived symptoms of vitality in the old
road, and when the people voted tho
subscription to the Louisiana & Mo.
River R. R., the old Lexington & St.
L. R. R. Co. was organized, and suffi
cient lodgment in law was effected to
enable them tn procure the issuing of
a writ of uiandauiu on our county
court requiring 'hem t s.ie the bonds
to the Lexington &. St. Louis 11. 12. as
directed by the vote of the people, Nov.
14th, l.SV.t, for SoOO.OOO, with interest.
The mandamus was sustained before
the court of common pleas of the coun
ty, and tbe county court was ordered
to issue the 000,000 in bonds, with
the interest accruing thereon, amount
ing to 240,000, to the Lexington & St.
Louis R. R. Co.
From the decision of tho court of
common pleas, our county court ap
pealed to the supreme court. From
the contumely of men and law's delay,
the friends of railroads almost despair
ed of ever building one soon in the
county, knowing, as they did, the long,
harassing tedious c ui-se in law before
judgment. A compromise was effect,
I cd, however, bet ween the county court,
1 ,lic, Louisiana & Mo. River R. "it. Co.,
: ail(1 thc Lexington St. Le R. R. Co.,
by which the whole matter wa settled
The main feature in this compromise
was the abandonment by the accredi
ted agent of the Louisiana & Mo. liiver
11. R. Co. of entire subscription of
500,000 as voted in March, last year,
and the subscription by the county
court of 240,000 (the interest accru

It is not only not so, but it is evident'
that under the agreement between Ue !

court to render such ass,Mai. e Mlll1 f

would induce the company to locate

fied with the coiitompia'ed 'location ot

is it not fair and just that if another

mud', or more than is given by the
count t, that they should have the right
to locate a portion of the roa.l or, in
other words, by paying 150 .000, they
ask only to divert the road from the
proposed junction, and instead of a
joint occupancy for thirteen or fourteen

accrue from two roads running on the

be deriv. 1 from it by making two in

And the unkind, ungenerous and un

ty court I will sity to Mr. "W." that
the intimation of selfishness comes with
a bad grace from him. Sir, a more in

than the terrible reality; and if he in
timates self-aggrandizement or politi
cal bias in the official acts of any memj
ber of the county court, the people
are ready to rise as one man to declare
the accusation false. In this railroad
matter, amidst the conflict of intercj-ts

men, the court has well nigh passed the
ordeal, and i has tar they have proved

is sufficient to crimson with shame the

ot the hour has infused public sp.nt in
the masses, and the people seconding
the actions of the court, cotemporaue
ous with the birth of their public en
terpr's in the county, the railroad era

Aftct able argument n both sides,

and was decided iu favor f Mr. Vin
cent. This case has aitraeied consid
erable attention from the peculiar cir
cumstances by which it has been sur
rounded. Mr. Vincent submitted bis
claims for a nomination for lhe posit ion
to the democratic county convention;
hut the convention preferred to give
the nomination to Mr. Mellenry. Mr.
Vincent then saw fit to becme an in
dependent candidate against lhe regu
lar nominee, and tbe jteople saw tit t.
choose Mr. McHenry to till the posi
tion. Now Mr. Vincent falls back
upon the celebrated Ousting Ori'tiiinef,
by virtue of which be lost his position,
in common with all the other officers
of the courts of the State, and regain
ed il by the appointment of the gov
ernor, under the same ordinance, ami
claims that there was no vacancy tobe
filled at tho late election. His appre
ciation of his position has cometohim
very slowly under the circumstances,
it must lie admitted. It is something
like illegal voting with the radical par
ty. If the majority is agaiost them, the
whole thing is illegal. If it is in their
favor, nothing could he more entirely
legal. There was a vacancy as long
as Mr. Vincent had a hope of tilling it.
As soon as that hope departed, there
no longer was, and never had been,.
vacancy. The logic is decidedly radi
cal, and not at all democratic.
We understand that Mr. Mellenry

expects a just decision from a radical
