1LL1No1s--wHo BUILT HER RAILROADS.

nLINoIs--WHo BUILT HER RAILROADS!
Illinois has built her thousands of
railroads and is still pushing forward
her uncompleted lines withundimished
energy. Iowa has entered upon a SINH
lar system, with so much heart and
spirit that none can doubt other carry
ing it to a successful result. Nature
has done no more-perhaps not SO
much-for either Illinois or Iowa as
for Missouri Chicago Dem. Press.
Illinois has done no such thing, and
it is about time that this system of hum
plugging should cease. The. people of
Illinois, out of their own means, have
not built one hundred miles of railroad
ia the State. The city and county of
st. Louis have contributed more money
to the building Of railroads in Illinois
than the whole of the people. Of that
State. Nobody disputes that there
are many and profitable railroads run
ming through that State, but they were
all built by foreign capital, and the
earnings of the roads, after paying ex-
penses, are appropriated to fill the
pockets of Eastern and European
capitalists. In this point of view,
precious little benefit accrues to the
people of Illinois,. but there are great
advantages in the facilities of transit
in every direction, and the population.
and industry, and wealth, which has
by these means been invited into that
State. We have no objection to the
wealth which has been introduced BY
the construction of these railroads in
Illinois, by foreign capitalists, but we
do object to the citizens of that State
claiming that their money has paid-fo1
them. 1t has done no such thing

WHAT THE FRENCH THINK Of Us.

A late number of the Paris ASSEM-
bLee Rationale has a lengthy article upon
the present relations between this
country and Great Britain. We give
a translated extract:
As regards the United States, we
have again to repeat that nothing but
a great catastrophe will stop their pro-
gress. They resemble those men,
gamblers or adventurers, who, FORUM
ate during their whole career, and con
fding in the success, give way before
no obstacle. Go ahead! is their device.
They will hardly brave both God and
man, and carry on their projects of
annexation to their last limits. Those
who will not let themselEes'be annexed,
they will drive away. In the face of
such an irruption, a policy of prudence
and temporization is excellent, but, at
the same time, this policy must bevigi-
liant, sure of itself, and prompt to act.
Moreover, it is, perhaps, too Late
In the year 1777, at the crisis Of the
war of Independence, n of the most
eloquent partisans Of the emancipation
of the colonies of North America,
Burke, exclaimed, hat "the establish
mento of new republicson the principles
of English liberty was a triumph for
England. Their liberty is ours" he
said, cit is our laws that they glorify
and spread throughout the world The
voice of Burke was listened to only on
the day when the victories of the Anne
ricans and the Intervention of France
obliged England t~o'recognize their in
dependence. IF, to-day, in the House
of Commons, some n stood up and
asked the Government to. respect the
progress. of a power which~is that of
the Anglo-Saxon race, these .counsels
would, no doubt, be. as little listened
to as those of Burke in 1777. Butt
is easier to oppose to-day a barrier to
those encrOachments than it was then,
and to subdue again the colonies which
had revOlted against the yoke of the
mother country?

MURDER MOST FOUL---A WOMAN KILLED
By HER HUSBAND.

- H aa.
A foul murder was committed at No.
2 Charter street, on Saturday evening,
which caused considerable excitement
in that cicinity. It appears that a
truckman named Winslow Eddy, with
his wife Jane, boarded at the house
named, and Immediately after tea Eddy
called his wife into the entry, saying
that he had something for her, and
instantly drew a knife and stabbed her
in the region of the heart. She ran
into an adjoining room, where she fell
upon upon the floor, and DR.. Green
was called to dress the wound, but the
injured woman survived the assault only
two or three hours.
Eddy fed from the house as soon as
he had committed the deed, and the
police were sent in pursuit of him; but
it appears that he avoided the officers,
and by the advice of a relative OF
friend, went to the Station House and
gave himself up.
Eddy was not at work on Saturday.
and is said to have been perfectly
sober. He is thirty-fve years of age
had been married about. four years
but has no children. Jealousy IS sale
to have been the cause of his commit.

It will be seen by the above bill that
the men who controlled the govern
ment of our good old Commonwealth
in the. "time that tried mems souls"
were not, strictly speaking, total alb
stinence men, and it is fair to presume
hat if the question of prohibition had
been agitated in their day they would
have given it decided negative. That
the "fun grew fast and furious at the
aforementioned dinner cannot be
doubted. There is no other way .oi
accounting for the tremendous smash
of crockery which is set down in the
bill, and for which the Commonwealth
had to pay.

This was the case with the great
mass of those who attended the Gin
cinnati Convention and affected the
nomination of. Buchanan. They went
there TO eat corn, to get a share of the
loaves and fishes, the spoils Of the
Treasury. They were indifferent as to
who should get the nomination, what
principles were adopted or what rights
were sacrificed. They went there to
"eat corn" and not to devise means to
preserve the Union or to protect the
rights of the people.

THE G REPORT.

The New York papers contain the
following abstract of the Report made
by Mr.. DOUGLAS, on June 80, relative
to Kansas:
Mr.. Douglas, from the Committed on
Territories, to which was referred the
various bills relative. to affairs in.
Kansas, made a volurninous report on
the subject. It contains an elaborate
argument in favor of the new bill ac-
companying the report, which provides
for the appointment Of FIVE Commits
sioners, to be selected by the Presi-
dent from different sections of the
Union, to represent fairly all political
portions parties?l They shall take a
census of all the voters in the Terri
tory, and make a fair. apportionment
of Delegates, to be selected by each
county, to form a Constitution and in
stitute a government. When the APP
p%ortionment shall be made, the Com
~missiopers are to remain in session
every day except Sunday, at the place
most convenient for the inhabitants of
said Territory, to hear all complaints,
examine witnesses, and correct all
errors in said list of voters, which list
shall be previously printed and gene
rally circulated through the Territory,
and postedin %atleast three of the most
public places of each election district;
and, so soon as all the errors have been
thus corrected in said lists, the Com
m%issfoners are requested to cause a
corrected list of the legal voters to be
printed, and copies furnished to each
Judge of election, to be put up at the
places of voting, and circulated in every
county in the. Territory before the day
Of election-no person to be allowed
to vote whose name DOES not appear
on the list as a legal voter; the cleo.
ton for Delegates to take place on the
day of the Presidential election, anC
the Convention. to assemble on the
first Monday in December to decide
first, whetheri it be expedientfo Kansas
to come into the Union at that time
and if so decided, to proceed to form
a constitution and State Government
which shall be of republican form
Kansas then to be admitted under sucl
constitution On an equal footing witt
the original States. The bill provide
further that no law shall be passed il
the Territory infringing the liberty o
speech or of the press, or the right o
the people to bears arms, &c. 1t ais,
provides punishment for illegal voting
or fraud and violence at elections, AM
authorizes the use of the military 70,
that purpose. The main point is tina
the persons designated by the census
as the present inhabitants of the Ter
ritory shall decide all points in disput,
at a fair election without fraud O
violence; or any other improper infu
ence. All the white male inhabitant
over q years of age are to be Above,
/, to vote, if they have resided in til
t Territory three months previous to tn
day. of election of election, and n
other shall be required; no oath tosup

Louis Kossuth is on a lecturing visit
to Scotland, where he is received with
all the honors and demonstrations Of
joy that greeted his landing in the
United States or England. After. all
the difficulties Of the Hungarian chief,
and all his disappointments In the acts
of government and the results of wars
he yet stands the most remarkable
man in Europe, and one to whose
words more attention is given then to
those Of any other private, man in the
world.
