the Empress of Mexico, who went TO Paris,

e3- Hon. G. V. CULVER the Bank swim
dler, and member of Congress-Of course a
Radical--is still in jail ut Franklin, Pa, on
charge of various plundering operations,
for which he stands crminally indicted.
As the Radicals may need him, when they
get peady to impeach ANDY JOHNSON, it is
probable that they will declare his impris-
onment an assumption OF power, or, possi-
bly,, his release a military or some other ne
cessty, and order his prison door to bo
opened.
It is certainly a high degree of personal
favortism to have such wholesale plunder-
ers as BANKS In the House and HARLAN in
the Senate-not to mention score of other:
Of like odor-and allow such bright and
shining light as Reverend Hon. Mr.. CUL-

dense in its grateful scent that the mind al

THE Iowa AND Missouri STATE LINE RAIL
ROAD. Before its recent adjournment the Leg
isature adopted memorial joint resolution,
asking Congress for a grant of lands to aid in
the construction of this road, which, com
mencing at Pennington, and interceping
there the Des Moil es Valley road, will run
through the Southern tier OF counties TO the
Missouri river This is measure in which we
have large interest and our people should
give it all encouragement. The Harkeye
says concerning it:
The memorial sets forth that the company
building the road exhibit commendable 2Dal
and energy, and will strenuously endesvof TO
faish forty miles of the road during the pre-
sent year. That the liabilities Of the Coun-
ties named, to invasion during the rebel
lion. retarded emigration, paralyzed in
dustry to considerable extent, rendering the
citizens along the line unable to give the ma
teral aid TO the enterprise that they would
have otherwise done. This ia an important
improvement, and inasmuch as Congress has
already made large grants Of land to aid in
the construction of other railroads. and be-
lieving the policy TO be wise and judicious,
our Senators are instructed and our Repre-
sentatives requested to use their influence to
procure a liberal grant Of lands to aid in
building the Iowa and Missouri State Line
railroad. er9aa Il "a Il sks Il

Meantime the report prevails that the bust

that measure.

twenty four hours have worked wonderful
change in public expectation here concerning
the Presidents opinion of the Freedmen s

that he will return il with his objections, and
the most favorable hope entertained by any

may be so unimportant that Congress can
modify the bill until it commands his ap.
