The enterprise is under the management OF
Sir Charles Fox, of the house of Fox, Hender-

TIVE clip the following from an article on
Railroads appearing in the Capital Reporter Of
the 4,Il inst
eve see by the report Of a railroad meeting
at Fairfield, that resolution was passed desiring
the Governor to convene special session ofthe
Legislature in June, for the passage of an act
authorizing counties to take stock in railroad
com pauies as in the words of the resolution il is
doubtful, whether they have the right under the
code.
We think it not " doubtful but absolutely un
questionable that the law at present gives them
no shadow of auth 'rity. The very fact that an
unsuccessful eif,r, was made to push through
bill last session ofthe Legislature designating
railroads in especial, is enough to show that the
present law is not broad enough TO cover the
whole ground Neither do we think that any
thing would be gained by second convention
Of the Legislature, except an increased expendi
ture of money for very uncertain object The
vital elements Of the last General Assembly
would be found in this, and little hope Of the
enactment of such law as is much talked
about at present can be placed in such advo-
Gates"

THE BARNBURNERS

The Kentucky "Na,ional Democrat" gives
utterance to a suspicion, that the Blrnburners
cannot be trusted-that their professions Of peace
and harmony are made from motives of s. fish
ness,-to secure the offices-and that, after once
obtaining them, they will return to their former
position of hostility to the National Democratic
party. taays:
"They hive spent every hour since the cleo
ton in repairing and constructing the ola organi-
cation which destroyed us in l545. and have
betrayed a settled purpose to dodge every
endorsement of the distinctive doctrines Of the
present platform and Administration Let us
not, therefore, shut our eyes to the fact that
there are many who are now wearing our name,
who are enemies to our principles. They
have wounded Us once-they will wound US
again"
The party was never without its disor sanzers.
They are not confined alone to New York -
They are to be found in many Of the states and
are always to be recognized from one single
trait, which pre-eminently distinguishes them
from sound party men-a greater love for the
"spoits," than the principles of the party and a
supreme selfshness, which sends patriotism on a
mission to the ID.

the attempt to raise by subscription fund 10
pay off the membranes OH MIR. Websters es-
tate, which has been feebly langushirg along
for some time, has at length been totally ex'in-
guished by the presentation of claim isr ten
thousand dollars, by Caleb Gushing, on account
of money loaned to Mr. Webster The writer
adds that as there is an indefinite amount out
standing Of similar obligations incurred by MIR.
Webster, it is hardly likely that the committee
on the fund will resume their labors.

New Orleans, May IL

New Orleans, May IL
Galveston dates of the 10Th, have been receive
ed by the steamship Mexico. The gold accounts
are fully confirmed.
The Galveston News says it is informed by a
gentleman from Ho!khart, that partj of citi-
zens who had just returned from an exploring
expedition found gold in the mountains 70 miles
northwest OF that town, both on the surface
and by digging. They brought back severa
Jumps, all OF which were valued at $3.50.
The Austin Gazette, which has hitherto beer
incredulous. fully endorses the most favorable
reports, saying it can longer entertain the
least doubts, and expect soon to hear of discov.
cries equalling the California mines.

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.-ln another col.
umn we publish the Charter Of the Galena and
Mississippi Intersection Railroad Company
The intention Of the instrument is evident, but
it is SO bungingly drawn up that it will probably
defeat the very purpose for which it was con.
ceived. 1t bears the marks of its paternity as
hdispu,ably as it the authors name were writ
ten at the bottom, So, the farce ends; Tor no
man with brains in his head would think OF
lending money on the bonds of a concern hav'
ing legal xis,encc and legal rights no more
clearly defined than those Of the company to
which we refer Gafena JctcTsOntan.
This looks rather ominous.
The Charter here referred to, is one granted
nv the Legislature Of Illinois, at its last session
~ narties at Galena, for constructing railroad,
from Gaena, TO Tete des Mortes.
