There is more distress in your diseased
imagination, and your desire TO produce
discomfort among the people, than there
is anywhere else; and we say further,
that SO far as there is any distress arising
from the condition of monetary affairs,

Southern wing of the Democratic party
because Of their failure TO carry an cleo

dissipate the earnings Of the poor, and

To the question of the Herald, as to
there being more distress among our

AS an example of the profisablenessi
of the New York city street railroads, ii
may be stated that the Third Avenue
Railroad Companys receipts for 1865
we're 81 per cent more than the pre-
vious year--then they were $S36,5l4 Is.
The net profit from those receipts can
not be got at by the public; as the stock

four Or five times greater than appears
from the published figures. Bat with
the gross profits at 81, 900, 900, nobody

The following extract from long
communication in the Memphis Appeal
will show the strHnch loyalists of the
South, who have sided with the Govern
ment throughout, in what light they are
regarded by ct least some Of the rehels:
The Confederacy ia gone, and while
we hold in sacred reverence its glorious
= memories, and treasure insonr heart of
hearts those "few in Sardis who did not
ds6le their garments, those noble breed
of men and women who showed moat
true metal; the greater the sacrifices
they were called upon to make, and who
ia the last gave an unressrred allegiance
TO their country, drinking
ssLovs In each life-drop that flowed from hsr
breast" 4ala
we bitter rebels as we have been, can
give the charity of silence to

-~~ Yes, we can give him or her the charity
of silence. Ifhe sees fit TO Hue Ia and
seek a competence in the land he has
betrayed, achg let him eat the bitter
bread of rcmorse in peace, and he as.
sssred that II single element OF the
nsaa remains acithin him, fhat bread

So the patriots who refused to join a
q mad rebellion are to hope for nothing in
their native South except the charity of
silence, They must expect to be treated
with contempt, while the reconstructed
~ control the State, determine her policy
and enjoy monopoly of respectabiIity
and honor. The Nashville Times says
It knows a game worth two OF that, and
g. the nation is determined to play it.

A GREAc THoRoUGHFARE The con.
structien of a railroad from Indianapo-
lis to Vincennes is OF vastly more i'm
portance than at first glance would seem
to be the.eRse, and its great local ;ad.
vantages shrink into nothingness when
we contemplate The future through trav-
ell and traffic destined to pass over it.
Eastern railroad men, who gaze keenly
into the future for resources of wealth
and profit, have long looked Wi EHpec1-
lative eyes to the completion Of an all
rail route from New York, the Metropo.
lis Of the East, to st. Louis, the Empo-
rum Of the Great West. by which
passengers and freight could be con-
veyed through without change of cars;
and still further, to the time when this
great route, running westward from St.
Lonis, shall stretch away over the vast
plains and lofty mountains to the far of
waters Of the blue Pacifc-linking to-
gether With iron. bands, the Orient and
the Occident, and forming a rapid
means Of transportation from ocean to
ocean. ~
Still farther, far seeing Europeans,
who have sought for centuries ''short
route toithe East Iudies, have discov-
cred that, by steam from Liverpool 10
New Yorkrand thence by rail 10 the Pa
cifc, they have attained, their object.
This is the secret Of the late visitsot Sir
Morton Peto, the railway king" and
! his English friends to this country
Vast as these objects are, they are
| susceptible of accomplishment in the
not distant future. And whenthis great
ros d Is constructed, it is certain to run
along the valley of White river from In
diauapolis to Vincennes, making our
road connecting link in the greatest
railroad line in the world. IA X
Mark the prediction When the In
dianapolis and Vincennes Railroad ia
completed, it viii at once become one
of the greatest through routes in the
