Railroads.

For long while we have said nothing in ref
erence to nelghboring Railroad projects, ex-
cept the copying Of articles from exchanges
This seemed to be our proper course so long
as doubts existed in cur mind as TO the reason
able certainty of the success of the MiIwau-
lsee and Mississippi Road terminating at Prai-
RE du Chen, and the Southern Wisconsin Road
terminating nearly opposite Dubuque. We
now believe both these roads will be built, and
put in successful operation within two or three
years. From all we can learn of their fnan-
cial condition, ability to raise money, and the
ultimate proftabeness Of the Roads when com
pIeted also Of the progress these companie:
have made in surveys and contract lettings,
| there seems to be no show for reasonable doubt
We are compelled from clear testimony to con-
slider these Roads as certain to be made. The
possibility, however, that something may turn
up to cause failure in the one or the other OF
them, Doubtless exists; but we are unable TO
see how such failure could be caused, except
through some sudden financial crisis, We
do not believe that a general monetary collapse
viii take place very soon, perhaps not for sew
eral years and therefore, even this cause Of
doubt is re owed from our mind.
OF the Mineral Point Eaiiroad, everything
seems almost as clear and as safe. That, too.
viii be completed. The contracts are let, the
grading is going on, and the finances are re-
ported sound. We consider thai great little
Road for the space Of country between the two
Roads above referred 10, and west Of Madison.
To Iowa County, and all tn excellent region
east of Platte river, the Mineral Point road
will be Of immense service.
The Main line Of the Illinois Central ter
mnating at Dubuque will be completed, come
what accident may.
We notice a leading article in the potosi Re-
publican of last week, suggesting connection
between that village and the Southern Road
To accomplish this, il is thought the amended
charter of the Potosi and Dodgeyitle Railroad
provides the right and power, if the consent Of
the Southern Wisconsin Company can be OBJ
tanned. 1t seems their consent can be had, land
also their assistance. We have before conten-
ded that this is natural result, and that no
doubts exist, as to its ultimate accomplishment
That the necessary means can be raised for
such connection, we have no fears.
Ii has long been our desire to see Grant coun-
ty surrounded by double rortiication of Rail
roads and Rivers. That such desire will be
nearly gratfed in three years from this day,
we have no manner of doubt.

KEEN SARcAsM.-1he New York
Tribune, in treating its readers to brief
article on the doings Of our Legislature
and Wisconsin, politics generally, con-
cludes as follows:
"Judge Hubbell having been acquitted
on the impeachment, there is proba-
bility that he will be taken up and run
as the Democrat candidate for Governor
He hastwice triumphed when running
against the regular party nomination,
and it is fair calculation that his luck
and popularity are by this time strong
enough to brave the odium Of caucus
endorsement. Besides, since tie party
has twice lost the State by running men
whose character did not bear the ordeal
of discussion, it is wise to start with a
candidate who has just been tried and
proved to have some character left, af-
ter making all NECESSARY deductions.''

either the Sultan consents TO the En-
peror's demands, or declares war
That he will embrace either of these
alternatives, is not certain. He may in
stead submit patiently TO the presence
Iof Russian troops in Moldavia and Wal
lachia, and leave France, England and
Austria to settle the hash for him with
the Gar. No doubt England and Aus
tria would much prefer to arrange the
question in that manner, and to submit
TO the encroachinent Of the occupation
OF the Principalities, rather than 60 to
war. In that case it will be for France
to decide the matter. If Napoleon says
war. and says it at once, England can
not help going into it with him. But as

packages have already been received
that over l 400 mere are in the Custom
House, waiting to be passed that roc
or 500 are known to be on board ships
already in the harbor and that a large
number, Of which no accurate estimate
of course, can yet be made, are on their

contributed by Great Britain, France,
Belgium Italy, Holland, Austria, and our
own country, and are rapidly being pla-

DUEL.-McCorkle and Gwin, in their
recent duel near San Francisco, fired
three shots at each other, and it was dis
covered that nobody had been insulted,
and nobody shot. The Alta Californian
very properly remarks in connection with
the osition of the duelists !:
Tie duel between Messrs. Gwin and
McCorkle of course settles the Senatorial
question as 10 Mr. Gwin. His friends GER
tainly cannot think of preferring his
claims for one Of the highest offices in
the gift of the State, after he has com
mitted an act that, according to the con-
stitution Of California, disqualifies him
from holding office, even if he himself
should prove so destitute Of conscience
Jas to become candidate. Mr.. McCor-
kle, too, without doubt, will not think Of
running for governor, after having sworn
support the constitution Of the State
-as he must have done when member
OF the Legislature. He cannot possibly
so far forget himself as to break his oath
by accepting Office.

1t is urged by some that this is not a

these City Bonds become due, and are
not paid the town, of course, would
be sued and the amount must then go i'll

Ineighbor may vote this debt on US,
which enables him TO cucumber our

we cannot do ourself We believe such
an act IS unjust. We have no mora
right TO put debt on our neighbors
shoulders without their consent. A
mans property may justly be taxed, but
not his credit. That is part of his
moral worth. Hence we believe TO la,
a debt on the people OF this city, TO aid a
corporation, is a violation of the people.
rights. Let those who wish to contract
such debts, do 50 if they choose, but WI
deny that they have right to force sucf

But why do we object to allowing the

possess four miles square, in the heart
