The indications for the early repSir
of our railroad, we are pleased to be
able to announce, are very favorable,
In addition to former appropriation
of State bonds, the legislature has voted
an additional appropriation of $j4, 900,
which, as we understand, was necessary
to enable the president to complete
the repairs of the entire road. This
viii be very acceptable intelligence to
our readers. The road is greatly
needed. The entire interests of this
section are suffering for the lack of
railroad communication. And it is to
be hoped our worthy president, who
has been laboring SO assiduously to &C
complish what has already been done,
will avail himself of the very earliest
favorable opportunity of placing the
work under contract, SO as TO insure its
completion at an early day
Any unnecessary delay may prove
injurious to the interests of the people
OF this and the counties above There
Is very little money now in the cOun-
try. And the constant drain for goods
and groceries will leave scarcely a dol
lar in the country by the time the pre-
sent crop is ready for market But
should the road be placed in running
order by that time: 1t will afford great
relief, enabling the farmers to bring
their crops into market at once, there
by relieving the country Of the pre-
sent pressure IN money matters We
are not posted in regard to the time
necessary to complete the repairs We
understand new ties ere needed for the
entire road, aud iron for some twenty
five miles, together with the building
of two or three bridges. But If a con.
tract can be secured at once, it occurs
10 US that the work might be compile
ted by the end OF the year, provided a
sufficient force should be placed upon

Cause ofsouthern Discomfort.

The Springfield Mass Republican
discusses reconstruction, and gives the
following reason why the feelings of
the Sou herners do not flow back with
any enthusiasm to the National Gov
eminent. Ii says
Their States, which they pride them
selves in, are out of normal relations
with that Government They are not
represented in it. They have no con
stitutiOnal connection with it, unless to
pay taxes without any representation
be constitutional connection. Ifthsre
be one political principle more than
another grained into the minds and
hearts of the American people, it is that
taxation and representation go togeth-
er Now, to expect the Southern peO-
pie, under these circumstances, to fling
up their caps and shout hosanns to the
National Government, is to display q
puerile ignorance of the fundamental
principles of human nature. To ex
pect them to be anything else on the
whole than sullen and bitter, while
their States are Jar with the central
authority, while their representatives
are rejected and their taxes demanded,
while their crimes are exaggerated in
high places and they are told by the
most prominent legislator in the Ma
tional Government, from his high place
on the floor of the House, that hell is
only too good for the whole eight mil
lions of them, would be to credit them
with more of angelic virtue than falls
10 the lot of our average humanity. 1t
is time for the people and the press to
speak out 1t is primarily question
Of universal patriotic Government, but
it has obvious relations to the fate of
parties also 1t has been and is now as
clear as daylight to everybody but the
politicians, that if the Republican par
ty does not admit to Congress loyal
representatives from the South, snoth-
er party that will do it will soon take
its place.

Congressional Representation

The following resolution has been
adopted by the radical majority in the
Legislature of Connecticut: LOB
RESOLVED, by the Senate and House Of
Representatives an General assembly con-
Uened That our Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress be ana are hereby
requested to urge the passage of such
amendments to the Constitution OF. the
United States as will secure to the
white men of Connecticut q representa- a
ton in Congress equal to that accorded
to the white men of South Caroline"
Let Us look into this matter mo-
ment The whole people of Connecti-
cut, white and black, are represented
in one branch of Congress at the ratio
of l27, 900 for member. This is pre-
cisely the ratio adopted in South Caro-
lima, no more or less. The same num-
Der of people send member in one
State as in the other Not only are the
people the same, but the method of vo-
ting is the same. The negroes in Con.
necticut are counted in the basis Of
presentation but are not entitled to
vote. That IS the case with South Car
oIlnh. W mere tu6uj Is luoIS any me
quality? There is none in the House,
but it exists in the Senate. For in
stance, Come cticut, with 100000 peo-
pie, has two United States Senators,
while South Carolina, with larger pc
pulation, has but two In fact, Con
necticut has as many Senators as New
York, which has eight times her popu~
lation. Under these circumstances, it
is refreshingly cool to hear Connect
cut complaining ofunequal representa-
ton in gress.-Cin. Enquirer

Look out for the stamps.

People who give receipts for money
paid, and every body does it, should
make note of the result of a trial
which took place in New York the 9th
er day, ana which shows how perilous
a thing a neglect TO put stamps upon
papers which require them may be-
come. Many persons have fallen into
the error of supposition, that if paper
is not stamped the omission may be
rectihed at any time at very little ex-
pense. This is not correct There was
provision made for validating unstamp-
ed papers, made and issued before the
passage of the act of 1864, upon com
pliance with certain provisions. SINH
lar provision is made in the amended
act Of 1865, upon condition that the
party derelict shall pay $50 and inter-
est at six per cent, on the stamp, if the
cost of the latter is more than fifty dol
lars. But in addition to this there is
an actual penalty, which may be enfor-
eed against any one who issues unstamp-
ed paper. Under the act Of 1854 it was
$500 in all cases. Under the amended
act OF 1865 it remains $500 upon accep-
tors and payers of foreign bills OF ex-
change without first stamping the secu-
rites. In this case, in New York. the
party sued had neglected, before the
passage Of the amended act of 1865, to
siix stamps upon seven receipts FOR the
payment Of money He was sued for
the lull penalty in each case, amounting
70 81 900 in all, and verdict was Civ
Ell against him for the whole sum The
stamps would have cost fourteen cents,
so that By his saving habits on the oc-
cssion referred 10 ne is 81, 599 SO oU' of
pocket, besides lawyers fees and COTS
of suit The example is worthy Of re-
membrance.-Phlla. Inquirer.

! There is q difference of opinion upon
two points. As the bill passed the
House no entry was allowed to be made
for more than so acres of the public
land, which amounts, in all, to upward
of 46 600 600 acres, in Arkansas, Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississ-
ippi The Senate fixed the limitation
at 100 acres of public land, in the
statute applicable TO other parts of the
public domain The Senate also added
3 section repe2ling in effect so much of
the present law as obliges the settler
to make oath that he has never been
engaged in rebellion; requiring him
simply TO swear that he will in future
bear true allegiance to the United
States. 1t is understood that the three
Senators on the committee support both
amendments, the latter one upon the
ground that it is the countrys adVan-
tage to give the poor whites of the
South little farms on condition of occu-
paney and cultivation for five years.
Representatives Julian and Rice, the
majority of the Committee on the part
of the House, on the other hand main
tain that the privilege of settling upon
the public domain should not be given
to rebels.
