scene of business activity, which is, of ITSELF
the most convincing evidence of the increas-

said he had never voted to repeal the Ohio
black laws, but had voted, in ls49, for sub
hitting the question of their repeal to the
people Of the State, advocating it on the
ground that the repeal would be defeated by
fifty thousand majority. This he proceeded

in the Legislature.

BsA- The following card explains itself,
and places the editor of the Enquirer, we
should think, in rather peculiar situa-
tion.-ED.
The undersigned, citizens of Evansville,
have noticed with regret scandalous charge
of bastardy against Mr.. George w. Veale,
of Quindaro, Kansas, formerly of this city,
in the Enquirer of Saturday, and again re-
iterated on Tuesday, which we know to be
entirely destitute of even the shadow of
foundation.
Mr.. George ". Veale was, for several
years. from youth to manhood) resident
of this city. He married here highly res
pectable young lady, and always maintained
high character for morality, integrity and
honor; and no such charge was ever made
against him until it appeared in the En-
quirer of Saturday The circumstances al
luded to by Mr. Hall related to another
person, who was then, and is now, resi-
dent of Davies county.

ing revenue laws, and for recognizing the col.
lection districts of the United States which he
had submitted to Congress in compliance with
a resolution of the House, the operations of his
Department would have been greatly facilitated,
and the collection of the revenue more economi.
cally and effectually secured. Other standing
laws for the building of stom-houses, court.
houses, &C., might be repealed, or their execu-
ton postponed to period Of greater prosperity,
and thus relieve the Treasury of a large amount
of expenditure. The recommendation to abol-
ish the ranking privilege and raise the postage
to FIVE cents, thereby imposing the burden of
the support of the postal system upon those who
use and enjoy its benefits if carried out, would
also greatly relieve the Treasury.
The Secretary was opposed to adding the
twenty millions of Treasury notes to the perma-
nent funded debt of the Government; but rec
commended that the provisions of the act of
1857 in relation thereto be extended for one or
two years; by which means they could be re-
deemed from year to year, as the condition of
the Treasury would Justify. The Secretary also
stated that, between the present time and the
Both of June next, there would be upwards Of
seventeen millions of dollars of these Treasury
notes, with interest due, and which must be
met.
The House then adjourned.

ford to pay high charges for transportation.
They have therein the advantage over our North
ern lines, which have to carry wheat, corn, and
other agricultural products, of less value. me
Southern roads are mostly new; time enough has
not yet elapsed to wear them away; but you Will
have hereafter to lay out annually about twenty
per cent. on your running machinery, and a
thousand dollars to the mile to keep your rail-
ways in repair. That is the average in my State I;
and in New York it is higher still, being nearly
two thousand dollars to the mile. The original
cost of our roads in the Northern States, east OF
the Alleghanies, was from forty-fve to fifty thou
sand dollars mile; west, they cost from thirty to
thirty-fve thousand dollars The original cost
of the Southern roads does not average more than
thirty thousand dollars
The railways of the entire country paid an
average dividend, last year, of four and aquarter
per cent. They earned about FIVE per cent. clear
profit. majority of Southern railroads do not
pay any dividends at all. The aggregate of their
dividends is not three and half per cent in the
whole Southern country south of this city The
railways of the Senator's own State are pre-emi-
nently profitable, equalled, perhaps, in that re-
spect by those of no other State, unless it be New
Jersey; but the railroads of almost all the other
Southern States are in process of construction.
They are in about the same condition as in the
Northwestern States, where they have nearly one
hundred millions more invested in railways than
in the whole Southern section of the Union, and
about the same number of miles, and where rail-
ways are anything but profitable at present.
