0TThe Washington correspondent of the
New York Times suggests that whileCol. Ben
ton is raking up his political experience, Dir.
E. K. Collins of New York. should give his.
He says:
1t has been stated that it was Collins and not
Gilmer who pulled the wires for Van Buren's
downfall. He it was who sat in the parlor of
Barnums Hotel and laid the plans which ele-
waited Mr.. Polk first to the head of the demo-
cratic party, and Eext to the head of the Adj
minstration An account of these transactions
from the pen of Mr.. Collins'would equal iniin-
terest, and perhaps surpass in authenticity, the
sketches of Mr.. Benton, graphic as they are.

Cincinnati against Spiritualism, last week de-
posted $1,000 in Bank, 10 be given to any
spiritualist who should succeed in moving a
table without touching it. At the night of the
trial the large Lecture Hall was crowded
to excess. Prof Spencer made known his
proposition, and invited any spiritualist pre-
sent to try the experiment. Prof Wilson, a
spiritualist lecturer, undertook to make the
table move. Mid perfect silence he sat near
the table long time, brought his energies
and Imagination and will and especially his
hopes and ambitions, to focus-but the table
remained perfectly quiet. The spirits could
not be summoned-or they would not answer.

gencer, have reached crisis by the late dis

its condition was little better than bankruptcy
before. Says the Inteligencer:
Although the president and directors have
not yet acknowledged the fact, it is, neyerthe-
less, well known that the road is utterly bro
ken down in means and credit, and must soon
be abandoned. as hopelessly bankrupt, unless
some new, and. as yet, undevise step, be ia
ken by the city of st. Louis and by the State
to save it.
The Board of Directory perhaps feel reluc-
tant in the present state of public feeling to
throw up their trust, and acknowledge their
inability to sustain the work But it is no
time for false pride, and the sooner the confess
sion is made the better.
The public interest in this road is great. A
large amount of individual stock, and heavy
subscriptions by the city and county are at
stake. By one vote the county appropriated
twelve hundred thousand dollars to the road !
What is to become of these enormous sums?
As matters now stand, the State will have to
pay the Jan. interest on her bonds issued to
this road; and the road is at once forfeited to-
the State. Two millions of dollars will then
be lost to the city and county, to say nothing

An Editor Abroad!

The editor of the Rockport Democrat made
visit TO Evansville recently, and on his re-
turn INDUCES in long editorial account Of
the trip evidently written before the effects
of divers mint tulips" to which he alludes,
had steamed off, We can we'll excuse his not
very fattering comments upon us. when in
the same article he offers most delightful adu-
lation at the shrine of our nsighbors's high tai
ents, makes wholesale attack on our business
men, and thinks that 'sunder their admlnstra-
ton Evansville will be no rival to Rockport,"
and that Evansville is now on decline, as ne
learns 'from citizens who pretend to be posted
our neighbor as one authority, we presume.
His associations while here could not have been
with very we'll informed class of citizens, or
he might have ascertained that he was laboring
under an entire mistake about the decline of
Evansville. AS it is, we think he obtained
such remarkable information from the Enqui-
rer of this city or it's editor alone and not
'from citizens who pretend to be posted" We
do not think there can be many signs of de-
cline about young city which such season
as the past has erected nearly five hundred
houses, and in which not dwelling house can
be rented We are gratifed, however, to
learn that with all our progress, Evansville
will be no rival to Rockport, but we trust
Rockport will not permit just such editors as
be of the Democrat to turn himself loose in
our streets as representative of the enlighten-
ment of her people. The qualification he af
fords to our little boys as natural curiosity
but lily compensates for his bad opinion of III
published abroad to the world on his return
home and the ridicule he reflects upon the PEG
pie he represents.

American Convention at Louisville.

The people of Louisville are making extern
sive Accommodations for the comfort of visitors
to the American mass meeting, to be held in
that city on the 9th inst. A large atten-
dance is expected, and so fa7 as that is con-
cerned, we do not think there will be any dis
appointment. The Americans are wide awake,
and they are just awaiting an opportunity to
get at some place where they can boiler right
out! They will no doubt think Louisville is
just as good a place as any other and they
toiU be there We are glad to see the Ameri-
cans at Louisville are preparing quarters for
their friends. We can assure them it will
take big pile of provender and broad beds and
many of them, to accommodate even their
brethren from Indiana. This part of the
State will be represented, if not by many per-
sons, at least by enough enthusiasm to make
up all deficiencies.

Progression.

There are but three Of the hirty-one States
of this Union that have progressed beyond the
landmarks laid down by the Fathers of the Re-
public-but three that have practically discard
ed the old dogma that ''none but Americans
should rule America" And by Americans
we mean not only those who are native and
to the manor born" but those also who are
Americans by adoption and naturalization, ac-
cording to the laws of Congress- Those three
States are Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana.
We mention Indiana last, because she was the
last ofthe trio that adopted the heresy of alien
suffrage.
Michigan was the first to adopt this policy in
1886. But it will be seen by her constitution
that aliens cannot vote there, until after resi-
dence in the State of two years and half,
and they must declare their intention to be-
come citizens of the United States at least S x
months before the election at which they may
offer to vote.
Wisconsin was the next to adopt the policy,
in 1848. And it will be seen, she progressed
a little on the liberality of Michigan, by allow
ing aliens to vote after residence of twelve
months in the State, and declaration of inten-
ton to become citizens of the United States
Indiana was the next to f1lIow suit, in 1851
And not to be outdone in toadyism to this for
eign clement she progressed beyond Wiscon-
sin, by allowing aliens to vote aftersix months
residence in the State, and the very next
moment after getting out Their declaration
papers. At the last election in this city there
were not less that tUeasy tive voters of this
class, who went directly from the Clerks office
to the polls with the ink not yet dry upon
their papers.
The next movement in this direction, we
suppose, will be to march them directly from
the emigrant ship to the polls without the
prerequisite of declaration of intention to do
anything but vote. And the next one still, in
the order of progress, will be to recognize
their right to vote by proxy, six months in
advance of their immigration to the country
Many of them are now permitted to vote on
the papers of those who are dead or have left
the country, and why not then, admit the
proxy of those who intend to come?

JUST -Four HUNDRED YEARs-The first

Nine years after, the Koran began to be pub

time the Bible was sent forth on the wings of

to counterfeit its baneful influence And from
that day to this, the civilized world of Europe
and America, is indebted for that superiority
which no second night of ignorance can dar.
