Our Railroads.

we have been amazed at the eccentric course
lately pursued b. some gentlemen in our Legis.
iature, "hO' II not remarkable for any wise acts
Of statemanship were supposed to possess com.
mon sense, and wore thought by their mis-, aiken
constituents, fit for the responsible bositiou
which they now unfortunately occupy.
Mr.. D. Gratz Brown, from the intelligent
city oil st. Louis, openly and unblushingly af-
frmed that "the State could hold these lands,
and not give one cent tothe companies " vet.
IT ought to have been apparent, even 10 the
understanding of Mr.. Brown, that they could
not be held by the State ten years, after which
they would revert to the United States; or be
gwen 10 other companies, without violating the
spirit OF the act, and manifesting total dlsre-
gard OF The plain intention of Congress. His
next original and brilliant idea was that the
HANNIBAL and st. Joseph Road should be COM
;scciirrs &c 5;;.11 .osd from St. Charles 10 The
northern boundary of the State. Perhaps Mr..
! Brown aspires 10 be Governor or u. S. Senator.
and imagines he can run better with these Bun
comb tin kettles tied 10 his tail; but he will be-
come tired of their music before he cease, 10
hear it.
MIR. Myers, with the ferocious ayarice Of n
Shyloek, demanded stem per cent. of the earn
Ings OF the road''-to be divided dm,btIe.s
among The counties, share and share alike. Mr.,
Blair, of st. Louis was little more moderate
= he wished the State TO grab only six per
cent. OF the net earnings of the railroad" Mr..
foungs suggestion that the company should
pay into the treasury Of the State all the excess
OF a dividend of six per cent. was calculated
to detract materially from the company's ener-
gy, for it could be no object TO them to make
Os or six per cent.
Mr.. NOEL, OF Perry, is a benighted individual
who never pretended any friendship TO the
railroads, and is therefore at least free from
the charge of hypocrisy.
Mr. Deyail, in consideration of the grants (by
Congress would require the roads and propertv
OF tho companies TO be made public highways,
Gree TO everybody of course,) and that the
companies should pay TO the State one-sixth Of
their earnings! Happy idea-a grand financial
operation
But alas for the loss CT gas, and all their cap
ital Tor Buncomb !--common honesty prevailed,
and these wise amendments were voted down
by large maJorilies.
We have spoken as above without reference
TO those gentlcmen's politics. Public men who
deserve censnre should have it, be their politics
what they may.

A Fine Stock Of Dress Good..

COLLINS & BREED have just received large
LOT OF fine dress goods, ribbons, SC. Among
these we have seen some of the most beautiful
patterns ever offered in this market. Ladies
who have seen them, testify their appreciation
in manner very flattering TO the taste and
judgment Of the firm. We can, of our own
knowledge, recommend TO those ladies DESIRING
such articles, to call and examine their stock
it being considered by those gentlemen no trou-
BILE to show goods, as we Judge from the pleas
ure with which they displayed large variety of
articles 10 us. We are confident the ladies can
not look at these goods without being very
strongly tempted TO buy. We may mention
particularly, as having most fOroibly elected
our admiration, the embroidered dress goods,
changeable silks, needle-worked handkerchiers
high colored ribbons, fine wool delaines, and
Bay Slate shawis of every hue. size and price.
Nor have they forgotten the men; for the
latter may find there every variety of wearing
apparel. Their boots and shoes are the real
g homemade article.

TnANKs.-We are indebted 10 Mr.. VIM.
Newland for copy Of the Report of the ma
jority and minority Of select committee on the
Govern@'s message: also, report of the select
committee ON Iron Mountain Branch Of Pacific
Railroad" We have also received from Mr..
Newland copies of several different railroad
bills. We will publish the Hannibal and Saint
Joseph Bill as amended and passed, so SOON as
received. 1t has probably by this time received
the Governors signature. 1t originated in the
Senate, and passed the House by an almost
unanimous vote, after receiving an amendment
which made its return to the Senate necessary.
The Senate will doubtless concur in that amend
yHeIt, ;'s1svhieh the bill will be as favorable
as The company could ask, and will manifest
spirit OF wise beralitY on the part of the logic
iaturc which will be creditabIe to that body, and
enforce respect for the intelligence and dscrimi-
nation Of the people who elected its members.
Since writing the above we learn that the
Hannibal and st. Joseph road bill has passed
both branches Of the Legislature, and become
law.
