Another rebellion IN India seems immi-
nent. The Punjaub has been invaded by
1900 insurgents, and matters are looking
critical The iniquides which have char
acte1ized the British rule in that country
are bearing their legitimate fruits. It
might be proper question to agitate Just
now, the expectancy Of bestowing little
aid and comfort upon the Necna sahibs Of
that country. They have deep and bitter
provocations for rebellion. The South
never had any. The East Indians arc
urged On by rude aspirations for freedom,
and arc only trying to throw of cruel
and oppressive yoke The South are try
ing to preserve the worst tyranny the
earth has ercr behe1d-the right Of proper

The citizens Of Chicago must have failed
to appreciate the extraordinary character
ofthc Legislative swiadle, known as the
Wabash Railway Bill, which is now being
attempted, By the most disreputablemeans,
to be fastened upon them by virtue Of
judicial decision. We undertake to say
no such legislation in regard to horse rail
ways, as is now attempted to..be set up as
Law, can be found in the statute book Of
any State. The very passage Of such o
law through any Legislative body would
be evidence Of the fraud and corruption
charged in this case. No honest and in
intelligent legislature would ever know
ingly pass bill Of SO flagrant a character
us the one in ar'oat;nn Tho -s6Ate of the
city and the rights Of the public are alike
tramp1ed under footb d monopoly which
would be as grinding and odious as it
would be perpetual.
The present horse railroads in this ity
we're brought into existence by virtue Of
tie city charter. That provided for the
construction Of such railroads, hut wisely
left the manner Of such construction, the
streets upon which they should be con-
structed, the limitations, &c, to the City

On Tuesday next, an election Tor county
of1ccrr is 10 be held in every county in
Illinois. No State officer is to be chosen.
so the contests will be local, not eener-
al, turning in many cases upon the merits
ofindiyi duals, rather than upon conflict
Of fprinciples. The vote will, ne presume,
be small.
We beg tho readers Of this paper to re.
member one thing-that wherever party
contest, az in this county, has been pro
Voked BY the nomination Of copperheads.
n opposition 10 the Union candidates, the
success Of even one man On the disloyal
ticket will be claimcd as secession victo-
~; and that, Al such, 1t will be heralded
all over the country. 1t is hence the duty
Of the friends Of. the Government and the
opponents Of the rebellion, to see that no
rcmissnees Of theirs gives the enemies Of
the Republic reason to exult. In our own
county especially, where the Union ms
jo1ity is unquestionsbly large if full vote
is cast, and where the sympathizers with
the South are making preparations for q
sharp and an active contest, it il incum-
bent upon all true men to do their duty
The polls. No man can be held guiltless
who does not vote. No man can do what
the cause Of the country demands, who
refuses to vote the Union ticket. The
nominees thereon are uuexccptionab1e,
measured either BY their fitness or their ahi1-
ity; and in the present crisis, when the hands
Of the Government should strengthened
and upheld, it is necessary that they be
one and all elected. And how shall they
be chosen save by the votes Of loyal citi-
zcnsf All the votes in the county cast
BY men who hate the Administration, who
hate the Union, who hate the war, who
love slavery and praise secession, who are
as actively with the South in this struggle
as they dare be and not bring themselves
within reach Of the penalties Of the statute
law, who oppose the Federal tax law and
the conscrption, who rejoice over Union
defeats and mourn oyer Union Victories
all votes cast by all snch men. NTH the
suffiages Of the grog-shops, the gambling
hells and the bawdy houses superadded,
will be Tor the Copperhead ticket. Not
one will be cast for Gary and the Union
nominees onel Ne do not say that
no loyal man will vote for Morris g. Co.;
there are always, in any community, Ger
tin number Of offsided fellows who be-
Ievc that the devil is never as black as he
is painted, and that "poor old Buck" may
be loyal after MI. A lew such, and few
who will not stop to inquire about the 10y
atty or dieloyalty Of any candidate, so he
has the party label on his back, will be
found with Morris and Mech tickets in
their hands It is the province Of the
Unionists, or, Is Mr. Douglas more prop
crly termed them, the Patriots, to see to it
that not only Cook, but every other county
in Illinois, raises lcr voice for the Govern
ment and in condemnation Of the traitors!
