@ As an illustration Of the impossi-
bility Of making collections at the present
time, in the country, member of one OF
our largest houses told us yesterday, that
they had heard from one OF their collec-
tors who had been absent ten days in
Southern Illinois, with moro than $40,
OOO in notes, over due. in his portfolio,
and he writes that unless he should have
better luck than had thus far attended
his efforts. he would be obliged to Dor.
row money to get home. There is no
money in the country" he says. "and
there is no use of trying to get blood out

Mr.. D. II. Kennedy, late Of the Straight
Line Railroad, has been elected Chief
engineer OF the GRANVILLE and Matoon
Railroad, the route Of which is about to
be surveyed from GRANVILLE to Matoon,
where it will intersect the Illinois
Central, at which point the latter is
crossed by the Terre Haute and Alton
Railroad. The proposed road will cross
the Ohio and Mississippi at Olney.
This road, should it ever be compile ed,
will be in direct line from here to
Chicago, and if extended from GRANVILLE
to Evansville, would be the shortest
route from the middle of Kentucky and
Tennessee to the gr,at Northwest. The
line is over a very level prairie country.
with but few bridges, and the road can
be constructed, in the opinion Of the
engineer, at a less cost than any other
road built or surveyed in the West. Mr..
Kennedy has recently been al'ng the
line, and reports to the company very
encouraging accounts of the disposition
Of the people to take stock. The coun
tries through which the road passes, hold
large bodies Of swamp lands, which they
are ready to give in aid Of constructing
the road. The farmers on the route are
represented as being willing to subscribe
literally, and to take contracts for grad
ing. In ordinary times the project
would appear feasible, but under present
circumstances, it would appear. wise to
defer it.

New Democratic Paper at lndianap olis'
We have the first number Of the Daily
Courier, new Democratic paper from
Indianapolis. 1t speaks with freedom
aud boldness, and promises to be such
an organ, as the honest and independent
portion oe the party has long needed at
the capital. 1t shows a determination
to resist the dictation Of the Bright and
Willard clique and condemns, IN un-
qualified terms, the arbitrary and uncon-
stitutional course Of Gov. Willard.
says:
"We have two Supreme Judges in this
State who have tried to resign their positions.
But il seems they had not sense enough to
frame q resignation. Tho Governor and At
torney General. fruitful IN doubtful expcdi-
ents and opinions, have so decided. His ex-
celleney has already gone far to usurp the
legislative and judicial power of the State
and to abrogate the rights Of the people, and
spurn the wishes of the Democratic party
Hadn't nc better make u clean sweep of il
What is the necessity for Supreme Judges!
There is the Attorney Grneral-all right on

all of them and if his opinions are not good

sharps, swamp land swindlers and pot-house
aspirants! No Legislature to provide laws

@ Never did an accident or disaster

East and West were prodigal in their ex-
plantations as to how it might have been
prevented. The penny-a-line reporters
of the Metropolitan dailies are pointing
out the way by which the Central
America could have been managed and
her precious cargo brought safely into
port. The questions are gravely asked,
why Capt. Herndon didn't do this, and
why he didn't do that ? In short, why
was he not a Neptune to calm the sea

Herndon evince degree of vanity which
is exceedingly amusing. 1t is reason
able to presume that q wise comman-
der in charge OF noble vessel freighted
with treasure and hundreds of lives

earth has an eternal award. II by any

The Repair of the Canal.

Our citizens will be glad to learn from
the following notice from the Office Of the
Trustees, that the breach in the canal
will be repaired in few days and the
canal will soon be made navigable again.
In this instance the Trustees have ex.
hibited laudable activity and energy,
which gives US hopes of better manage
ment for the future. We are glad to
learn from the worthington Times that
the infamous and wicked act Of cutting
the canal. was perpetrated by single
villain, and that it was unjust to attrib-
ute the depreciation to any BODY Of the
people of Clay county, who, we are told.
have become satisfied with the condition
of the canal since the reservoir was
cleaned Of its decaying timber, which
they had some reason to believe was the
cause of sickness in the neighborhood
around it. 1t is with pleasure we make
the correction, for the credit o. the people
of Clay county as we'll as for the reputa-
ton of the State for civilization and good
order. The Worthington Times remarks
with more force than elegance Of diction.
"that the low bred, Internal scamp who
would be guilty Of such crime as this,
at time when the country demands tfe
benefit of the canal the most. for the
transportion of the grain. ought TO be
placed in solitary confinement for life, or
to cut the matter short. a bullet through
his brain would prevent his repeating the
offence"
The embankment was washed away
for the distance Of one hundred yards
and in some places to the depth Of fifteen
feet below tie bottom OF the canal. Ii
will require large sum to repair it. Mr
Anderson, the Superintendent Of that
division, Immediately procured large
force of hands and went to work to re-
build the broken bank, with most com
meniable zeal and industry.
