The Iowa Centra1...Good News.

The Iowa Central...GOod News.
p. Melendy, writing from Des Moines,
communicates the following good news
in regard to the Iowa Central:
4 The interest manifested in the build
ing Of the Iowa Central Railroad, by
the people of the State, is increasing,
and the enterprise is receiving much
encouragement. 1t is now yielded by
those who have been most active in
working against IL, to be for the best
interest Of the State to have this great
outlet built. The meeting of the Board
of Directors, just closed, was one of un-
usual interest, and steps were taken to
push the work with energy and persever-
ance until finished. The engineers of
the North Missouri have located their
road to the point in Appanoose County
that the Iowa Central will strike, and
they have notified our Company to
meet them and make the arrangements
to connect these two great thorough
fares" Ills .....4.. s.... g..
1t will be remembered that not great
while ago it was announced by the
managers of the Cedar Rapids and OF
tumwa line, that the North Missouri
Company had given pledges to connect
with them; and, indeed, the announce
ment was not made without authority.
The North Missouri Company, howev-
or, it seems have reconsidered, and now
observe their interests to be identical
with the interests of the Iowa Central.
The favorable settlement Of the ques-
ton of connection with the North Mis-
souri,, is a matter of much importance
to the Iowa Central. The result, how
ever, together with the discouraging
facts disclosed by partial survey, are
very damaging, and probably utterly
destructive, to the competing enterprise,
which embraced the building of north
and south road via Cedar Rapids al d
Ottumwa. Peace to its ashes. ,-..

THE Dubuque Herald, October ll.h,
in an editorial on 1.-The Decay of the
Republican Party" said:

lection IN the Republican ranks. Whist We

party OF one idea is falling TO pieces ty It's own

Now that the November elections are
out of the way, will the liz raid be kind
enough to give us another chapter on
this interesting subject?
