The Lacrosse Railroad.

Notice has been given in the Assem-
bly, Of the presentation of bill, at some
future day, to repeal the law by which
certain lands, donated by Congress.
to this State for railroad purposes
were granted to the Lacrosse Railroad
Company. The Madison Patriot
speaking of this move has the follow
ing:
We presume, however, that nothing
more will be done just yet, till the In
vestigating Committee conclude THEN
labors and make their reports. 1t is
the general impression that the Grant
so far as it extends to the Lacrosse
Road, will be repealed. We have
some very interesting items relative tc
the management of the new Board
which we propose to throw into the lar
Of the public, from day to day, till tht
facts are fairly and fully before the PEG
pie.
The noble stand Gov. Randall took
in his message, to save the innocen
farmers who had mortgaged their farm.
to aid this road lis universally commend
ed, and many poor farmer will have
cause to bless Gov. r. for thus prompt
ing the company to do their duty
But, is there any security for the fl
ture? Have these farmers any securi
ty that their July interest will be paid,
and their mortgages will be finally re
deemed? We confess that their chance
is, indeed, slim, if we are to Judge from
the way and manner the company dea
with many who have invested their cap
ital in that road.
The people may rest assured Of one
thing, that we now have a Governor
who does not worship the almighty
dollar, and it is generally understood
that he cannot be bribcd, and that in
his hands, their case is safe, so far as il
is possible for him to act.
Whether the grant of land to that
company is repealed or not, they viii
not get rod of land till they comply
with both the letter and spirit of the
law. So far as we can judge, they dc
not intend to do all their duty under
the law. In day or two we shall
show wherein, and we shall also show
such other facts, as will go to show the
general bad faith of that company, and
that the new regime is a chip from the
old block, &c.

Foreign News by the Arabia.
New York March 8

New \ DIRK, March 20.
The Il. NJ. steamship Arabia. from
Liverpool on the 9th inst, arrived here

very meagre and unimportant The

ING reelected to Parliament, generally
without opposition. 49,
lTA.Y.-Ihe constitutional party was
holding conference at London to ap-
ltate the formation of national feder-
alton in Italy.

the River Mersey, whence they were
expected to sail for Africa, on the day

ed off the banks of Newfoundland, is

organize the Supreme Court so as to
appoint the circuits according to the
population and business, as a party

The La Crosse r. r. Board again

We yesterday enjoyed the luxury
of calling the attention of the people
to certain schemes of this company
and to-day we propose to enter up
Judgment on fact that has been pat,
ented to us by parties well posted.
In priaais-We are informed on the
most reliable authority, that this new
Board have agreed to pay to SELAH
CHAs1BERL1N three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for finishing up eight
cen miles Of the road, from New Lis
bon to the Junction-34 miles Of the
same being already graded. The com
pany, in addition, agree to furnish all
the iron, and the motive power to do
the work. The whole distance is of
easy grade, with no deep cuts, running
along a dry prairie marsh. Now, we
are credibly informed that good and
responsible parties stood ready, and do
now stand ready, to give good securi-
ty, and to do the work for eighty Mous-
and dollars-to do all that Mr.. Cham
berlain agreed to do, in bis contract,
for s27O,OOO less than this virtuous
Board agreed to pay Mr.. G.
Now, we ask, are these things to be
tolerated? Are the innocent stockhold-
ers of that road to be chiseled, diddled
and bamboozled in this way? Is there
no mode of redress? Is there no mode
to restrain the mad career of the Com
pany, and prevent them from thus
wasting its substance on personal
if it should turn ont
that the profits are not enjoyed on the
most improved quadrille style Of call
hands round?''- Patriot.
Go it, ''Pump;' you can have our
aid in showing up this ricketv concern.
We must have.a change in the manage
ment of this road.

who have the temerity to fly right in
the face Of venerable Mother Ortho-
doxy, and assert that God is a divine
being, free from debased passions: that
Christ was the most perfect created
man; that there is no mystery or am
biguity in the sacred scriptures that
every miracle and seeming contradic-
ton therein is simple, demonstrative
and made plain by the philosophy and
tests of Spiritualism; and, finally, that
the soM is Immortal! positively and
unquestionably. What blasphemy and
heresy!
These ananaortalists, entertaining such
monstrous opinions, strange to say, have
awakened deep interest of religious
inquiry in this city, and such an inter
est has been manifested in their meet
ings that they have been necessitated
to secure the Metropolitan Hall, the
largest Assembly Room in the city, and
here, Sunday after Sunday, convene
crowds, the immensely of which aston
ish our oldest inhabitants. This sue
cess, l am inclined to think, makes them
impudent, for I actually heard one OF
these ''bearded philosophers" the 9th
er day, remark that ssthese orthodox re.
vivals were blessed things, for they
awakened a spirit of religious investi
cation, which invariably resulted in ar
influx to the spiritual ranks of the sen
sible and religious portion of commu
nifty, only leaving to Orthodoxy the
weak-minded and hypocritical."
Really, dear reader, we beg youl
pardon for this religious TRADE. Oul
excuse is, that religious matters at pres
ent engross most of the public atten
ton, and we being part of the public
religion has unfortunately engrossed 6
