IHE EFFECT OF RAILRoADs-Since the
general agitation in the West, for the construc-
ton OF railroads, there has been uncxampled
activity in the Land Offices of the West The
public lands are being transferred from govern
ment to individuals with une xampled rapidity.
All along the line of the Central Railroad in
Illinois, there has been an immense increase in
land sales within the last two years. And the
same evidence Of increasing prosperity, is visi-
bic in this State. Along the proposed line of
the Davenport road large increase of bust.
ness in this line has been done within two wears
Since the appointment OF Mr. Midnight, as
Register of the Land Office in this district.
which was in June 1s49, more land has been
sold at this Office, than from 1888 to the period
Of his appointment.
Vast must have been the immigration to the
country, to have produced this result The ey.
'dence is conclusive, that the agitation for.
and the prospect of immediate railroad facilities
in the West, has been the great moving cause.

THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN

On the first Monday in April, we have an
election. AT that election we are to select
Judge Of the District Court, School Fund Com.
missoners, Township Trustees and Justices of
the Peace. To insure the election of men.
acceptable to majority Of the people, it will
be necessary for every man who has vote, to
be present and deposit said vote in the ballot
box This is not only valuable privilege con.
ferred upon the citizen but in a country.
where the people are the government, it is an
imperative duty devolving upon every man.
To be just to ourselves we must exercise thi,
privilege and to be just to our country, we must
discharge this duty. If we remain at home
and our neighbor follows our example and 9th.
ers manifest the same apathy, the voice of the
majority may not be consulted in the selection
OF our public officers. This doctrine carried
out in our elections, might frequently place
men in power, entirely unqualified to exercise
hat power and guard the interests of the peo-
pie 1t is all important then, that the ballot
box should never be forgotten or neglected
II the reader will cast his eye to the head Of our
n H.
nees of the Democratic party. FIRST we find
the name Of Thomas S. Wilson, cand dat efor
District Judge. To this gentleman we believe
our wing friends make no opposition. MIR
Wilson was one of the Supreme Judges of the
State, during its Territorial organization; and as
to legal capacity, we presume none will ques
ton, that he is as well qualified as any
lawyer in the District.
Allowing the eye to fall little lower down,
we find the name of Geoge McHenry, as a
candidate for School Fund Commissioned
Mr. McHenry is at this time the incumbent of
that responsible Office, and from the prompt and
efficient manner in which he has discharged
the duties Of the Station, we are satisfied the
ballot box will not fail him. This opinion is
the more easily confirmed, when we reflect that
our opponents have no one in the field sgains,
him.
Extending the eye downward, we find the
familiar name of Benjamin Rupert, as candi.
date for Clerk Of the District court to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of L. p
Van Hagan. MIR. Rupert Is an old and highly
esteemed citizen of the place, and we have no
doubt is eminentIy fitted for the post Of Clerk
Up to the time Of the present writing, the
nominations for Township officers have not
been made
In presenting these gentlemen to the atten-
ton OF our readers, we ask that they may
calmly and dispassanately pass uopn their re-
spective merits and qualifications.
1t is every voters duty to weigh well the
character and capacity OF those, who como be.
ore them, as candidates for their suffrages, and
we can be assured that they will discharge
heir duty faithfully ard dispossiona.ely we
lave no fears for the final result in April

DEPOSITORY OF PUBLIC MONEY.

Some time since, the Land Receivers of this
State, were ordered by the Treasury department
to deposit at Chicago in place of st. Louis
This order was strongly protested against by
Gen. Morris of Iowa City and other land Of
6cers. Ina communication to our delegation
in Congress, Gen. Morris presents in a strong
light the additional expense and inconvenience
Of depositing at Chicago over ST. Louis and
says II would be less troublesome and expensive
to depsit at New Orleans.
Our delegation presented the matter to the
Secretary of the Treasury and requested that
an other change might be made more in accor-
dance with convience and economy.
To this the Secretary replies in the following
manner.

A PRIzE FIGHT.-Le. none If our readers

occurred at early light, this morning, on the
west bank Of the Scioto, opposite Columbus
below the National Road, between the celcbra-

BuRK down, and on the approach Of the 18th
round BURK cried stop. This is said to be the
first fight Nc. ever had, and the first time RURK
was over matched.
These are facts given us for publication by an
eye witness. Some 300 persons were present,
yet not citizen of Columbus knew anything
about it, 80 secret was it kept. They were ali
from distance, and all left town before it got
