Cars from the Pacific Ocean.

In the Wisconsin Legislature, a few
days ago, Hon. Mr ElApLET, member
from Milwaukee, predicted sbs. cars from
the Pacific Ocean will, within twenty
years, deliver lhe teas Of China and the
productions Of the East Indies within the
limits O: Wisconsin, and that Eastern
merchants would then come west for sup.
plies instead Of Western merchants going
East for supplies as now. The announce.
ment created some little humorous ex
element, but an examination of the sub
ject will show that the prediction has
solid ground to res, on. In this age, il
is best to doub, nothing about railroad
enterprises. They have within twenty
years dis,anced even the imagination Of
the most imaginative, and if they con
,inue. this generation will no, pass with
out seeing cars direct from The shores Of
the Pacific reaching St Louis, and we
may well believe. our own lake ports

Coon FOR SoUrH CARoLNA.-Rev. Mr..
Porter, of South Carolina, preached in
DIR. Huntingdon's church, at Boston, on
Sunday, and said within two years his
State would have suffrage law like
that of Massachusetts,, giving tine right
to vote to those who can read and write,
without regard to color.
This intelligence qualification for vot-
ing, as well as for basis of representa-
ton, is what we have long favored as the
surest guaranty for the future that we
can have. Even this simple quallitlca-
tion for voting, once adopted through all
the States, South as we'll as North, after
the example of Massachusetts, would do
more to harmonic the clashing interests
and allay the passions of all classes and
sections, than all the other projects
brought forward. Congress may remain
in session and "cuss and discuss as
they literally have done the past five
months, and the result will be only
waste OF time and ammunition. If Chas,
Sumner and Thad. Stevens could be tied
up in separate closets, we should have
hopes that what little of practical CON-
mon sense and manly independence ex-
listed among other members might leaven
the senatorial! and representative bod
les, so that we should soon see some.
thing really useful accomplished for the
permanent peace and security of the
country.
Now If the Rev. Mr. Porter's predic-
ton should be realized, and South Caro-
lima should adopt the intelligence quail
tlcation, applying it impartially to both
white and cOlored men, what a common
tary on the State of Connecticut that
has just refused her few colored citizens
the ballot, and on the noisy crew of cop.
