OF There is no railroad in the country upon
which fewer accidents have occurred probably,
than on our own road, the L. and c. Railroad.
Not one life has yet been sacrificed on it. This
in itself is a high eulogy upon the manner in
which it has been conducted. Those acquaint-
ed with its management, travel without fear,
even while reading accounts of the frequent
terrible accidents on other roads.

OF The Evansville Journal comes to us
this week clothed in beautiful new robe. If
it was not that our friend Sanders has already
received so many complimentary notices, we
should most certainly give him puff But
we forbear, simply because we are afraid that
it might enlarge his reported large dimen-
sions into mammoth size. Are you in danger
,cfbecoming second Colossus, Mr.. Sanders?

We are buta poor representative Of the good
cheer of Evansville. We fear it is not even in
the power of complimentary notices to swell
our coporocity to human size--but it is pleas
ant to see kind friends taking that last best
plan, to encourage us.

Judge Strong at Suffolk, Judge Brown AZ

expressed similar views in their respective

Courts in the Second judicial District are
agreed on this question, and as the liquor

The Portland Difficulty.

We take from the New York Tribune, OF
the 3th inst, the following remarks in rela-
lion to the recent difficulty in Portlsnd:--
"The.rio, at Portland Is, we are sure,
strangely misrepresented in our telegraphic
dispatches both Of to-day and yesterday
We do not presume to say, OF course. that
Mayor Dow cannot have made mistake in
regard to the purchase Of the liquor for the
City Agency out Of which the trouble
seems to have grown; but We are conaden,
tina, when we come TO have the truth from
impartial witnesses very different aspect
will be nut upon the entire affair from that
given il BY the run,sellers and their friends.
So far, our reports have been dictated by an
! Intense luminosity both toward Mr.. Dow
and the cause with which he has been iden-
tilted. The idea of Tas Portland Argus
that the kill ne ola man By discharge OF
musketry to put down a riot can be regarded
as murder, even though the civil o.hcer
commanding the discharge should prove 10
have acted inindiciorsly. cannot be sustain
ed for moment But in this case the dts
charge appears to have been necessary
and iudicious. Even The Argus lie obliged
to admit that without it, serious damage
would have been done TO the building and
its contents. The mob had aiready broken
in the door whent they were fred upon, and
the one yoley put an end 10 their attack
1t ia well.known maxim that in dealing
with a mob. promp,ituae and severity are
alone merciful No man can well estimate
the benefit this City has derived from the
two yollevs fred at Astor-pllce, andwe dare
say the effect Of tas iischargs at Portland
will be equally " holesome.

which are a, present exercising the ingenu-
ity Of protessional politicians 10 explain and

pie cautious in giving their adhesion, 10 any
man or party, because they can talk smooth

A plain man, who belongs TO one Of our
orthodox churches, after reading the New
