NJ. L. NJ. Rnil Road.

The vote in Iowa county, on the 18th inst,
on the question Of issuing County Bonds to
the VI. L NJ. Rail Road, to the amount of
one hundred thousand dollars, is said to
have resulted in majority of 100 for the
loan. The returns in the Visitor are not
complete, but the majority in the towns
heard from is so decided as to admit of no
doubt of the result.
This result is exceedingly gratifying; the
more so, because it was not anticipated with
the utmost confidence.
We learn that another movement is on
foot in jasper, which is almost sure to sue
coed in securing subscription of stock,
either in the shape of county loan, or the
investment Of swamp lands in the enterprise.
We have the best reason for believing that
operations will BIO commenced Immediately
on the line of the road, if favorable vote
is secured in jasper. Possibly the Company
may be able to commence even before such
vote is taken. 1t is certain that they will
not submit to an hours unnecessary delay.
1t is thought by some that those county
subscriptions are not at all essential to the
progress of the leading Rail Roads OF the
State. Such persons do not realize the fact
that the lands donated to the several leading
roads are not available until the roads are
nearly all built. The companies cannot
touch an acre, except upon certain condi-
tons; one Of which is, the completion OF
certain amount of road within given Pc
Rod. County Bonds are among the best
securities in the maket-nearly on par with
State stocks-because it is certain that the
interest will be regularly met. Money can
be secured on such bonds, where railroad
stocks and landed security would not receive
a moments attention. We mention this
fact as a key to the solicitude of the N. d
NJ. Company for favorable vote in the
counties on the line Of the road. Every
county that is interested in the early COM
petion of the road, should lend helping
hand promptly, in this financial crisis, when
so many valuable enterprises are crippled
and PROSTATE.
In this connection we may state that the
Committee appointed some time since to
correspond with the Directors of the NJ. L NJ.
Railroad, have received from Gen. Dix,
President of the Company, strong assurances
that every possible effort will be made to Sc
cure the early completion of the road. He
says that the Company are just as anxious
as the citizens Of Polk can be, to secure the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of operations on the line,
and if their efforts are appropriately second
ed, they have reason to hope for success

1t may not generally be known that seve-

fcient for the purpose.
Any one acquainted with the progress of
Railroads in Illinois may be enabled to form
some idea of the effect which their Roads,
when completed, must exert upon the Mis-

The Lesson OF TIE TRAGEDIEs.-Thc public
mind has seldom been so shocked, as by the
tragedies which took place in New York and in
this city, last week. One circumstance connec-
ted with them, which appals the careless and is
suggestiveIto the thoughtful, is that young men.
of class numerous and rapidly on the increase
in our cities, and so called respectable" are
the actors in these woeful, real dramas. The
young men were of "good families that u.s. as
the popular phrase goes, were in aft1uent cir
cumstances. They had nothing to do but to
spend their time and their fathers money!
They kept bad hours, and of course, bad COM
|pany. Whatever good advice may have been
given them, to whatever excellence Of precept
they may have listened, however admirable
were the examples their parents placed before
them, they were not legitimatcy Employed
They were exempt from the toll of the laborer
It1e great salutary, saving influences of .Labor,
were, in their education, repudiated. "A funda-
advancement, indispensable always to all men,
was, in their training, totally departed FROM
They were taught, ifnot in terms, in effect that
they were not of the toilers of the land; that In.
Dor as degradation; that, to be practically use
tul, man must bealmenial. How awful5is the
expiation of this errorl In one case, they young
man, when too late an endeayor was made to
restrain him from evil associations and reform
his spendthrift habits, lnassacred his fathers
family with n hatchet, and blew out his own
brains: Intheother case, the young man, when
begged to accept position in his fathers coun-
ltinghouse, that the habits which were working
his ruin might be broken, replied, stAna I a
Dutc1taGra or an 1risdaaa1l tAat Z shouzt2q 40 to
a0orks" and now upon the brow. of him5who Was
too good to to work, is theibrand of blood.
What "Dutchman orITishman," howeverhum-
| BILE, if honest, however horny his hands, and
ragged and hard TO travelhis path, would now
exchange destinies with him? How vain and
poor the pomp of.wealth before such a horrible
dishonor. How peculiarly solemn, the warning,
seen in the lurid light of.these deedsof terror,
idlenes lisa matter of pride, in whose highest
ambitions there sno thought ofusefulness.-
With what ghastly viyidness the old lesson is
written anew in blood-THERE Is NO EXCELLENCE

THEKE seems to. be an increasing disposition

THERE seems to. be an Increasing disposition
among the young men and youths of this city,
to affiliate for library, debating and mutual in
st.nction purposes. We judge of this by the
circulars, copies of constitutions, bylaws &C.,
which we SEQ from time to time in our job print
ing department. We are glad to see this. 1t
looks well and speaks well. What we need to
perfect the whole system in our city, is general
library and lecture association. One or two in.
fuential gentlemen had the matter under advise
rnent last winter. The plan is to raise gene
raj stock fund, say 500 or 1000 dollars, as shall
be deemed best With this open general liora-
ry and reading room, charging membership
tax of so much per annum, then each season
procure weekly or semi-inonthIy lectures, and
from the two sources of revenue (otbcr city as
sociations find it a source of revenue) either
pay dividends or each year (for certain num-
Der of years. still further increase the facilities
of the association.
The good results Of an association of this
kind would be incaIculable 1t would be SO in
this way. It would give to the members of the
association and oil who afterwards might become
subscribers to its privileges, the benefit of
large miscellaneous library. Next, it would af.
ford them daily access to the best current news
papers and magazine literature from every quar-
ter of the country, the room being (of course)
constantly kept open. And next, it would en-
able them to get all the benefits derived from
the very best lecturers. It is very plain that
these advantages can be had in no other way
At least that has been the experience Of other
cities, as it has also been their experience that
they can be effectually as we'll as cheaply secur-
ed by these kind of organized associations.
