The Proposed Rail Road.

The ball that has been set ID motion for
a railroad from Dubuque, via Iowa City,
to Keokuk, is rolling onward with mo-
mentum which we trust will not suffer
any abatement until the final accomplish
ment Of this important undertaking. At
the railroad convention held in this City
on the 18th January, the requisite steps
were taken, committees appointed, sc.
for collecting information Of resources and
other statistics, which will result. beyond
doubt, in demonstrating, not only the
great demand for such work, but also
the practicsbilty Gifts completion within
very few years.
Nearly year since we commenced the
agitation Of this subject. Since then, we
have had such constant succession Of
exciting political seasons as to preclude US
from devoting to the subject that attention
which its vest importance demands. But,
though we have been compelled 10 be con-
tent with publishing the proceedings Of the
various public meetings which have been
held upon the subject, we have been re-
garding the movement with deep interest.
And we have abundant evidence that the
same interest is felt by the great mass ofthe
people all along the proposed line of the
road. From all quarters we hear Of pro-
positions on the part fthe farmers to sub
scribe literally, if they can only be assur-
ed that the road will be constructed
Should Congress even refuse to make the
donation for that purpose which we have
asked for, we are full in the faith that the
work can be successfully carried through,
with proper exertions on the part Of those
Immediately interested, by private enter
prise.
This is not a chimerical project-very
far from it. That railroad will eventu-
ally be constructed on that route, we are
as certain as We are that Iowa is destined to
be one OF the first States in the American
Union. The time of its accomplishment,
however depends very much upon the
will and efforts Of our citizens. We will
then have opened direct, cheap and expe-
dicious route through the entire length OF
our State to the Atlantic coast.
The Miners Express Of the LIST inst
says:
The snbject Of railroad from Du.
buque to keokuk, involves the interests
of every citizen of Iowa; and although we
hear of those who ridicule it as wild and
visionary scheme, twenty years in advance
of the time and the country, we are salts.
fed that there are those among US who
are determined to give it fair investiga-
ton, as the only plan for demonstrating its
practicabil'y, il such i, should prove, and
facilitating its ultimate completion.
"All should bear in mind, that it is no
evidence of,he impractieab;li,y OF the en-
terprise because few men are either in
nocsntly or wiliully blind to its impor
lance"

precated the undue influence of military

Let il be observed, that in the above qnot-

alone. Not one particle Of the credit is
given to the thousands upon thousands Of

Is not this idea TOO revolving for any high
minded American TO tolerate? Is all the

arms to be embodied in one man-either

the Hawk Eye is running mad, and bis
tering his fingers, TO think that the demo.
cratic papers in the West did net publish
the Presidents Veto Message, upon the
same week Of its arrival. In his phrenzy
be charges that they have been command
ed BY the authorities at Washington, I'M
der penalty Of being deprived of the gov
eminent advertising, to publish the docu-
'nent and give i, their hearty support. So
far as we are concerned, We have not re-
ceived single private aneu-non. from
Washington for the last three months
Miners Express.
We have noticed, and barely noticed,
the Hawkeye's intima'ion alluded to by
the Express; but have not thought it worth
our while to deny the charge. Coming
from almost any other source, it would
have been quite different thing, and
might have required prompt refu1ation;
bnt the character Of that lying minioE Of
federalism is SO well established and so
universally known, that no sensible man
in community thinks Of paying any atten.
ton to his vile fulminations. The charge
that the democratic prints Of this State re-
fused to publish the Presidents veto mes.
sage, and were induced to publish it by
being threatened with the loss of the gov
eminent patronage, can only be regarded
as confession oivenality and corruption
on the part of the federal prints making
that charge, and as an indication of the
course they would pursue, and the mo-
tives by which they would be governed,
under the same circumstances. The po-
itical bawd Of the Hawksye must learn
not to judge other men by himself.
The veto message being very lengthy,
as well as c very important document, the
reason why it was no; published here i'm
mediately en- its first appearance, is very
obvious; for, our Legislature being then
in session, all our columns were over
crowded with legislative, political and
other domestic matters So soon as room
could be made for it, it was published in,
we believe, every democratic paper in the
State.
If that message were such very I'm.
popular document that the democratic
press should hesitate about publishing it,
why do not the Hawkeye aad other ieder--
al prints PUBLISH it entire? Granting the
correctness Of their position, this would
be the true way for them to make capital
against the administration. But no, they
will not do this; they dare not furnish
their readers with the truth. They know
that the Presidents straight forward and
farcible reasoning would be fatal to their
position; and hence, they resort to the ex.
pedieLt ofmaking garbled extracts from the
message, and misrepresenting his views in
the grossest manner. We challenge them
to publish the message entire. They will
not, dare not do il!

We see by late number of the Iowa
Statesman, that the notorious Brown (com-
monty known by the name of Don Liquor
Pot) late Speaker of the federal House Of
Representatives, pocketed the appropria
ton bill for completing the Pen!teutiary.
That, instead OF signing it when presented
to him for that purpose, Gas required to
do by his oa.h) he put it in his pocket,
and thus prevented it from becoming a

is his excuse for so doing? Why, moth

mechanic who was 10 be entrusted with

1t is even so. The bill for completing

Sunday, April Go p. M,

The week just closed has been a very quiet one in
the stock market Prices have been steadily settling
down, and there has been shares upon the mar

possible to tell what to attribute this to- but it
impression that the sellers weak and unable to
hold and therefore compelled to sell at any sacri
fee Previous to the LIST of July when the money market
exceedingly stringent, it generally antci-
pated that the first instament on account Of
the loan had been paid, and the dividends due
that day had been disposed Of and the shipments Of
specie had ceased, there would be decided improve
ment in prices for every description of securities In
view of this holders induced to keep their stocks
out of the MARKET at great sacrifices We know Of in

We can only account for the decline in prices ex-
psrienced within the past week in this way
HSince the LIST inst the money market has slightly
improved The last two steamers have not taken any
specie Of consequence and the outward current has
probably ceased There is sbundan mt supply Of stsr
ling bills upon the market The banks have recently
received large accession to their supply Of specie from
the ubreasury in the shape Of deposits from rscev
ers Of interest on government Stock and there Is
thing now weighing upon the market calculated to
duce confidence to a lower level than 1t has already
reached. We do not, however, on the contrary,
any prospect Of immediate Improvement in financial
affairs. Everything connected with commercial af-
fairs between wind and water and the probability Is
that it will be long time before shall get under
way again upon a sound and healthy basis. Conf
dence will return slowly and the utmost caution WILL
doubtless for time, be exercised in all the operations
of finance and trade. 1t Is well that little DISPOSE
ton exists for speculation, it will enable all classes
to mature old contracts and and to enter
upon new ones at the lowest points, regards prices
and under more healthy state of credits
