Prospects OF the Strai hit Line Railroad
Its Character In the Eastern Market.
Mr.. Afford, one of the contractors Of this
great enterprise, has just returned from the
East, where he has been for several weeks
on osslness connected with the monetary af'
fairs Of the company. His success will be
in the highest degree gratifying to every
friend and stockholder of the road. To some
OF our friends who are disposed to doubt the
veracity of every man who speaks favorably
OF the project, or Of the company, we would
state that Dir. Afford brought the "rocks"
home with him. and enough, too, to meet all
the current demands upon the treasury, be-.
sides taking up some eight or ten thousand
dollars worth of paper, two months before
due. His arrangements were effected upon
better terms than any other Western road
could obtain money, most of which, we re.
greet to say, could not get money upon any
terms whatever.
The character of the Straight Line stands
unrivaled upon its own substantial basis
while the credit and enterprise of its officers
lends to it a security which placed it far in
advance Of every other Western company,
in the estimation of Eastern capitalists
The notorious SCHUYLER FRAUDS which have
very naturally excited a universal distrust
against many railroad corporations, operate
with decided favor upon the interests of all
companies, whose credit can be maintained
unimpeached in the market. The capital
for railroad investments is now negotiated to
such corporations only, among which we are
proud to say the Straight Line stands pre-
eminent. Several of the best Western com.
panies engaged in the construction of i'm
portant lines of road, have been compelled
to suspend operations for the present, in con.
sequence Of the great caution with which
all capitalists approach the railroad market
The work of the STRAIGHT LINE will not be
delayed on account of means. We are sut-
isfed that the utmost confidence may be
placed upon its speedy and triumphan sue
cess-tbe croakings of cold fogyism" and
the wallngs of disappointed .self-intererted
individuals to the contrary notwithstanding.
We wcald urge in conclusion, that in view
Of the high character this road has main.
tanned from the commencement, and its pre-
sent high standing in the Eastern market,
that every stakeholder should use bis utmost
exertions to sustain its reputation and credit
at home and abroad. The efforts recently
made in certain localities to destroy public
confidence in the "Straight Line" and to de-
fame its officers, meets sufficient and mer-
tied rebuke in the mistaken confidence
which Eastern capitalists manifest towards
il.

The Democracy of Vanderburgh are to
hold County Convention on the 10th inst.
to nominate candidates for county Offices
We wish them a good time Of it. We want
them to select their men, and then push the
other locofocos off the track, so we can dis.
tinctly understand what men are to have the
pleasure of an inglorious defeat. As our
Democratic friends have always such devo.
ted affection for Germans, we shall expect te
see them well represented on the ticket
They should be at this convention, and see
that their own interests are protected. Blu,
a Democratic Convention in this county Il
nominate candidates, is the greatest possible
piece of humbuggery. We are astonishet
that Democrats in ths county will permi,
the wool to be drawn over their eyes by SC
shallow an artiice as "County Conven.
tion." The wire workers at Evansville al.
ways hold the real convention in some dingy
back room, and there "cut and dry" every.
thing, after which they attend the conyen.
ton, ego through the notions" or get the
country friends to formally endorse wha,
they had already resolved should be DONE
This little Evansville clique leaves but little
for the convention to do. They have the
candidates all fixed nicely, and very admira.
bly, prepared resolutions drawn up ready t.
express the "feelings of the meeting" The
good Democrats from the country are made
tools of this little clique, and are brought in to
supporting the cut and dried ticket, of course
in perfect ignorance generally that they are
really under the thumb ola petty clique, ant
acting by its dictation. We are pretty wei
satisfied. however, that as the Evansville
clique has got up this convention, in the fea
some county office might possibly get il
the hands Of Wings, and thus that obnox
ious party have one representative in TIT
county Offices, the Democrats in the countr,
will regard it with suspicion, and be very
watchful of the movements of their city
brethren. II they are not, they had better be
that's all. But as we said, we hope they
may have pleasant time of it all around.-
They had better enjoy themselves in tn.
Convention, for they will have but poor fur
afterwards.

reply to what he called "Benton's dirty dog
letter." which he cited at considerable
length; and said that if he did not show Col.

WEDNESDAY MORNING .::::::AUG.
Mass Meeting OF the Opponents Of the
Nebraska Law.

mass IuceSimS shc ORPuHcns~ - ~ q
Nebraska Law.
In another column will be found a call for
q mass meeting of the citizens of the First
District of Indiana, without respect to party,
opposed to the Nebraska Law, to nominate
q candidate for Congress in opposition to
Smith Miller. This meeting is to be held on
Thursday, the Gath inst, and the point selec-
ted 10 Petersburgh, as being the most central
and convenient to the whole District. This
call has been made after free consultation
with citizens at different points, and to re-
spond, not only to the desires Of the oppo-
nsntsof this inquitous law, but to the neces.
sity for bringing out candidate, by authority,
in opposition to Miller.
There are vast many Democrats in the
District. who repudiate Miller on account OF
his vote on the Nebraska Bill, and his noto-
rious incapacity for the position he now oc-
cupies. They will not vote for him, and will
not vote for Robinson, unless the two candi.
dates alone are in the field. They want,
with the Wings, to have an opportunity Of
voting for an unobjectionable man, and at
the same time in voting for him to carry out
their earnest feelings on this Nebraska ques.
ton. We hope to see this portion Of the
Democratic party well represented in the
Petersburgh mass meeting, and there take
an active part in its proceedings to secure
the nomination of such candidate 40 will
please them. Smith Miller is to be rebuked.-
We know the people of this district are not in
favor Of the Nebraska swinde, and that
large number of as staunch Democrats as
there are in the State, regulate the dicta-
ton of the late Democratic State Convention
which endorsed the Nebraska Bill. They
want but an opportunity of exhibiting their
feelings toward Miller and the swindle he
endorsed in Congress with his vote. Such
an opportunity this mass meeting is intended
to provide, by the selection of a candidate
who may claim the support of every man in
the District opposed to the Nebraska Law.
A large attendance from all portions of the
District is anticipated. OF course the meet.
ing will be addressed by able speakers.-
We shall have more to say about il.
