DoUcLAs CoMMEyrs ON JUDGE BLACKS RE.

DoUGLAs COMMENTS on JUDGE BLACKS Re-
vIEws.-Mr. Douglas made aspeech at Wor-
cester, Ohio, on Friday and took occasion to
comment on Attorney General Blacks Re-
view of his article in Harper. He spoke
with great bitterness-charged Kim with
classifying and seeking to destroy the Demo-
cratic party-doing it anonymously, and
with the purpose of striking down, not only
him (Douglas), but all the leaders of the
Democratic party in the free States. He de-
MED that he (Douglas) held to doctrines. in
opposition to the bred Scott decision, but
claimed that decision sustained his doctrines
of popular sovereignty. He exhorted the
Democrats to redeem Ohio and take position
alongside of Illinois.

THE HENDERSON & NAsHvILLE RAILROAD.
The citizens of Henderson redeemed the
character of their city for public spirit and
enterprise, on Saturday, by voting 500, 900
to aid in finishing the Henderson Nash
vile Railroad in that county This vote
insures the ultimate completion of the en-
tire road; for when the two extreme Sec
tons are built, the middle section will not
be left long unfinished. TIE work on the
Southern portion is progressing with energy,
and will be completed to the coal mines, in
Hopkins county, this year. If the Northern
section be Pushed through to jacksonville,
the people of the interior counties will soon
build up the intervening line. With this
road finished, we should be within fourteen
or sixteen hours travel of Memphis, and
within two days of New Orleans or Mobile.
We shall be, when our road is extended
from Terre Haute to Attica, on one of the
direct through North and South lines from
the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The COM
pletion Of the Nashville & Henderson Road
will add twenty~f or fifty per cent. to the
value Of The Evansville 4 Charlottesville
Railroad stock.

AN ABoRrroS.-we have the figures Of
the cost of the culvert built on Locust creek,
ON this side of the coal mines. The ex-
pense of the structure was S2,762. After
the culvert was finished, it was found neces-
sary to build stone wall, nearly 100 feet
in length, from 10 to 90 feet in hight, to
protect the fill from wash; after the wall
was completed, it was discovered to be in
suflicient,-like many other "human me-
chanical constructions in this neighbor-
hood,-to sustain the pressure, and two
abutments were then added to brace up the
wall. But both have gotten start;-the
the wall has sprungand now presents beau
tiful wave in its line, and conforms to rules
of beauty in art if it does not correspond
with the right lines of science. The arch
of the culvert cracked soon after it was
completed, and both culvert and wall are in
danger daily of falling into the creek. We
presume the cost of this entire work was
not less than 81, 900 or SIS, 600 to the county,
and no one would insure it to stand for a
year, for much less than the cost of re-
building it.
Old Mr. Catlettt of Union Township, re-
lateshow the first bridges were constructed on
the road from the city to the Bayou. He
and some other citizens in the bottom, went
through the settlements and collected small
voluntary subscriptions from fifty cents to
few dollars from each settler. With these
funds they built good log and puncheon
bridges over the streams, and the venerable
gentleman says, al do declare, they were
better than any of your extravaganza engi-
neered bridges of the present time. Then
a man could safely travel from the city TO
Henderson Ferry the darkest night without
danger; but now after our commissioners
have spent $4,000 year in public i'm
proveuents, it is worth as much as man
neck is, to travel after dark on the same
road. We are surely going backwards in
stead of forwards in bridges and road build
ing" The opinions of most Of our old citi-
zens correspond with those of Mr.. Catlett in
the matter.

THE EMPRESS AT THE FETEs.-Paris
writers speak in ecstatic terms of the ap-
pearance of the Empress Eugene, at the
memorable fetes of the l4th and 18th Of
August Never was beauty, say some ac-
counts, beheld to greater advantage than on
this occasion. Attired in white, enveloped
in clouds of rich lace, through which her
soft complexion was softened even more,
she appeared the most perfect realization Of
imperial grace and dignity which has ever
been beheld. The taste displayed by her
costume was also a matter of admiration
No fantastical bonnet concealed her features
from the admiring crowd; long veil oil
Brussels point was thrown over her head,
a. J the iorehead encircled with the imperial
di. m-the great Sanci dia.ao ID which
flashed and 81 kled in ( ru, with the
rareSt brini rcy.

SECRETARY OF SrATE.-The Republican
State Central Committee meet at Indianapo-
lis this week, and it is understood that they
intend to nominate a candidate for the office
of Secretary of State, to fill the vacancy
which they allege now exists in consequence
OF the resignation of Mr.. Mcclure. The
appointment Of Mr.. Durham was only TO
discharge the duties of the Office till sue
cessor shall be elected. The constitution re-
quires that all vacancies in the State offices
shall be filled at the next annual election
after their occurrence. As the Governor has
issued no proclamation directing an election
for Secretary, in obedience to this provision
of the fundamental law, the Republican
leaders are determined to take upon them
selves the duty of having it observed.

mated at $l4 ,ooo,-a lively interest appears
TO have been felt throughout the country in
this exhibition, and there were people
from almost every State in the Union
Seventeen States were represented by coniri-
buttons, besides Canada and the DISTRICT
The display of cattle was very fine, and was
never excelled. The show of horses disap-
pointed most of the visitors from the other
States ana the drouth and frost spoilt the

VIcroRY.-The anniversary of the victory
obtained by Commodore Perry over the
British feet on Lake Erie i'm 1913 was Gel
ebrated on the 10th inst, at Sandusky and
Put-in-Bay in grand style-the Masonic
Fraternity taking leading part in the ex-
ercises. The celebration was attended by a
multitude of people from the neighboring
States. There were fifteen steamers, two
briggs, ten yachts, and sixteen other vessels
at anchor in the Bay, which had brought
there loads of passengers to witness and
take part in the imposing ceremonies. The
Grafton was delivered by Judge Spaulding
of Ohio, which is mentioned in the Cleve-
land and Toledo papers in fattering terms
A number of the survivors of the battle of
Lake Erie were present and were welcomed
most enthusiastically.
The corner stone of the monument, which
is to commemorate the great achievement
was laid with imposing ceremonies. Under
the enthusiastic feelings created by this an
niversary the people of Sandusky have
taken measures to erect statue of Perry in
the pubic square of that city.

Half yearly balance sheets were made out
but in them the profits and assets were sys-
tematically put down at far less than their
proper amount. Thus in ten years from
1929 to 1898, there were under statements
to the extent of e175, JIG, leaving Eli, 500
per annum to be divided by the manager
and four agents. In 1853 the executors of
Henry Stanton compromised the claim of
the company upon his estate by paying
f220,000. Another sum of eco, 900 had
been paid over by the said Stanton to the
cOmpany's new manager, the one who holds
the situation. This sum was obtained for
iron and other military stores furnished
from Carron to the Board of Ordnance in
London. The cOnsignments were debited
with breakages which never occurred. In
some instances they were carried up to %
per cent, although the Government paid the
full face of the bills. Without allowing for
interest, the aggregate OF profits withheld
from the company must have been about a
million and half of dollars.

STUPESDoUs FRAUDS COVERING HALF A
CESTURY.-The Carron Iron Company in
Scotland was incorporated in 1873, with a
capital Of e150,O0O. Its principal works
for the manufacture of iron in various forms
were at Falkirk, with an agency. The bus
mess has been conducted by general man
ager, subject to the control of general meet
ings. This post was held from 1886 10
1926, thirty-nine years, by Joseph Stanton.
He was succeeded by his nephew, Joseph
Dawson, and another nephew, VIM. Daw-
son, became assistant manager. A third
nephew and nephew were respectively
agents at Glasgow and Liverpool, and Hen
ry Stanton, brother OF the deceased mana
ger, was the London agent. In this way
