DEAR SIR: l want to suggest that before
your people commit themselves too fully to
the project of Railroad across all the streams
Of the country to reach n road (the North Mis-
sourDyct lacking many miles of completion to
bring 1t to the Iowa line. they examine and
consider the much more feasible, by many
miles shorter, ana mach more eheaply con-
structed line along the valleys oftho Cedar and
Iowa Rivers. via Cedar Rapids. iowa City and
Mt. Pleasant, to KeokulS giving them choice
of routes from here 20 st. Louis, either By our
lines of splendid Packets, or By railroad, via
jacksonville, now coinple;ed,-dstance, iSi
miles; time, eleven hours. st. Louis being
sixty miles east of south OF Keosuls, the route
via Keokub would be by far the most direct
route you can possibly have, while you would
have the advantage of getting your freight by
river between this point and st. Louis 1T ten
cents per hundred pounds, ...ts' .'.a ..
1t Is in contemplation to extend this route to
meet the roads building along your Valley, so
MS ere long to complete the connection with
the Minnesota Central to st. Paul, and for this
purpose liberal subscriptions are promised at
st. Louis. ..... .t. ..t.

to be easily removed. Should road
such Is our correspondent suggests ever
be built, which we consider q matter OF
serious doubt, the people of this locality
will have to be excused from rendering
much efficient aid i'm its construction, at
least for some years to come. An all
sufficient reason is this: they have la
ken all the stock they are able to take
in the Iowa Central, which road is now
being constructed. a considerable per
cent. OF this stock has been paid over to
the company, and the day for backing
out passed months ago. But they do
not believe that the mooted line down
the Cedar and Iowa Valleys to be prefer
able ia any sense to the line of the Iowa
Central, via Toledo and Oskaloosa.--
Therefore they have no disposition to
rccede from their undertaking, and give
their money and influence to another
route. 1t is to be presumed that our
correspondent is ignorant of the local
influences which INDUCE our people to
favor the route they DO against the one
he proposes, and therefore we will let
that strong point pass. He understands,
Of course, that the prime object i'm view
is to add to our facilities for gaining ac-
cess 10 market; and, being troubled
with poverty, it is essential that we

Reduction of the National Debt.

1t appears from the official statement
inst made by the Treasury department,
that the national debt has been actually
reduced in the year ending August LIST,
over enc hundred and teoeaty four millions
Of SoEoYs. It is to be borne in mind, In
considering this reduction, that very
large sum, probably over one hundred
millions, has been paid to soldiers mus
tered out of service within the year men
tioneG, while the payment of claims not
liauidated or not presented year ago.
and not figured in the statements of the
public debt has also absorbed large sum
In fact, owing to such claims and ex-
penditures, it was generally supposed a
year ago that the debt would be in
creased rather than diminished for the
wear then ensuing. Taking these things
into consideration, we have, in the actual
reduction that has taken place, proof
of the recuperative vigor and almost ex-
haustless resources Of this country such
as none other ever exhibited in the
worlds history. The exhibition is a
fitting sequel to that other great display
Of power afforded to an astonished world
by our volunteer armies during the re-
pellion.
But it is further supposed that the
surplus revenues OF the present fiscal
year will still further reduce the debt
from 80, $50, 900, 600, its present total, to
$500 100000, of which two thousand
millions only will bear interest. This
tremendous debt, which last summer
amounted to two thousand seven hun
ared and fifty seven millions of dollars,
and which the baters of republican in
stitutions in the old world confidently
predicted would involve this country in
irretrieyable bankruptcy and ruin, will,
at the rate of the past years reduction,
all be paid off within the short period of
twenty years.
II is true that Congress at its late
session, in view Of the large receipts
of the government, wisely lessened
the burden of taxation, but the de-
crease OF revenue thus effected will
doubtless be counterbalanced by the
lessening OF the government expenditures
and the increase Of receipts from other
sources.
With the prospect of restored peace in
Europe and an increased absorption there
Of our government securities, and with
peace and reduced taxation at home,
vigorous business in trade and manufac-
tares is anticipated, and knowledge
that our public debt is being at the same
time rapidly reduced viii not detract
rom healthful business confidence and
activity.

LYNCH LAW IN kENTUCKY.-A short
time ago some fifty citizens of Lawrence
county assembled in the village Of Lou
lisa, Kentucky, where men charged with
murder were in jail awaiting trial.
Communication with the authorities
was had, verbally, and sundry appeals
were made in favor Of law and order
but the disciples of Lynch voted 80
against II in favor of the immediate eX-
ecution of the murderers, and thereupon
the whole went to the jail and brought
forth the accused Matters were very
coolly managed, as the following account
will show:
"jim Lyons made confession while
on the way to the gallOws, which was
pronounced false by the other two.
John Lyons and Bill Wright also made
voluntary confessions as soon as they
reached the scaffOld which had been
prepared. They all assembled and took
their positions on the same, As soon as
quiet was restored Bill Wright made a
speech and confession. Wright's con-
fession was pronounced false by the
Lyons brothers and the controversy be-
tween the prisoners finally ended in q
quarrel giving each other the lie sew
eral times. The prisoners manifested
very little fear, and otherwise showed
themselves to be bold, desperate fends.
The time had now arrived for the ter
mnation of the lives of these miserable
men, and, on receiving the notification,
the Lyons brothers Joined hands and
kissed each other. The caps were then
drawn over their heads, and they shouted
good by to the throng, and they, in con-
nection with Wright, were launched
into eternity. After hanging about u
minutes life was pronounced extinct.
They were then cut down and their
bodies were given into the hands of the
vigilance authorities. A sum of money
sufficient to defray the burial expenses
was made up by the execution commit
tee. The bodies were taken to the court
house and placed in collins, and the
next morning were taken out to Blaine
for burial"

The NEED OF THE NAgIoN.-The New
York Evening Post well says of our pc
litiCal necessities -
There is one thing which is more nee
essary than all others-and that is the
establishment of two powerful parties in
the Southern States. We regret that the
Southern loyalists are to meet at Phila-
delphia we regret that the republican
party at the North is not called to meet
in convention in the South; we believe
such convention could not fail to bene-
fit and strengthen both the party and the
original loyalists OF the Southern States.
Such a convention would have more
good effect than dozen freedmen's bu-
reau acts, or any other measures Of that
nature. What the country needs is two
great national parties, each working
with equal zeal in every part of the IN
ion. Then we shall have free discussion
everywhere-and that is the best, and in
deed the only way to heal over the ig-
norance, prejudice and hatred which still
divide the Northern and Southern pe0-
pie. With two parties thus thoroughly
Dationalized no one need fear for the
country.

ANEoDorE or ApaRAL FARsAoUr.-

AEEoDoTE oP ADMIRAL FARRAoUT.-
When Admiral Farragut was ten years
of age, his father, then an officer OF rank
in the United States Navy, and high in
the estimation Of the government, said
in his sons hearing, that when he (the
boy) was old enough to make 4 compact
and keep it, he had q bargain to offer
him. The son rose up and asked his
father to state the terms of the compact.
The Admiral said:
