VEgY JoLLY.-The Boston 4drertiser, an
intensely Radical organ, exults over the facts
that "a negro Judge presides in New Or
leans Court; negro candidates are in the field
all through the South; negro Congressman
will sit in the next Congress and negro SUI
premacy is already established in several of
the Southern States" All this pleases the
Radicals Of Massachusetts so immensely, they
ought, to complete the Jolly good time," SO
far as they can, at once set about putting their
own Courts, and all their public Offices in the
care and custody Of negroes. There is moth
ing like having these fine political quacks to
take their own nostrums. 1t is so convincing
to their patients.

Cairo, Tincennes & Indianapolis
Railroad.

General @. B. RAUs, the President
of the Cairo & Vincennes Railroad,
was in the city on Saturday, on his
way home from Indianapolis, where
he has been on business connected
with this enterprise which he repre-
sents. He says the prospects of the
Cairo Il Vincennes Railroad are very
good, and he IS sanguine that the road
will be built. He had a conference
with General A. E. BURNSIDE at Indi-
annapolis, who is at the head cf the
project for building railroad out of
Indianapolis leading in the direction
of Vincennes. The compa which
General BURNSIDE represents, we be-
lieve, design using the road bed Of the
old branch of the New Albany &
Salem Railroad from Gosport to
Indianapolis. on which considerable
grading was done some years ago. It
is designed to complete that line from
Indianapolis as far South as Martins
vile by the first of January. A fur
ther extension of the Road toward
Vincennes will, we suppose, depend
in some degree upon the aid furnish
ed along the line, and the prospects
of the early completion of the road
from Cairo to Vincennes, of which
Gen. RAUM is confident
The Cairo Road is designed to pass
through Carmi, GRANVILLE, and Mount
Carmel, en- route to Vincennes. When
the branch of the e. & G. Road is
completed to Mount Carmel, the pro-
jected Road from Cairo will bring US
into railroad connection with an in
terror tier of counties in Illinois via
Mount Carmel, and will greatly facili-
tate our communications and business
relations. If Gen. RAUA's road is to

THE following statement, grounded
on statistics recently published, shows
how expensive the drinking habits of
the times are to community. Chi
cago spends for intoxicating drinks a
sum equal to an average of $50 for
every man, woman and child of its
population. and then $12 each in
taxes for city purposes, a large share
going to the maintenance of criminal
justice and institutions for the poor,
chargeable to drunkenness. In two
weeks, 1,400 driaking places were IL
censed, with a prospect of more to
come. 1t takes stupendous public
prosperity to bear this terrible waste.
If it were retorted upon us that
Evansville is no better than Chicago,
in this respect, we are not sure that
we could truthfuliy deny the charge.
1t is almost astounding-the amount
of money spent in all parts of the
country for beverages which are more
harmful than beneficial in their eff
fects. e

THE scene of the late railroad dis
aster 10 ireland, is the lofty bluff
known as Bray Head, which rises al
most abruptly from the sea to the
height of many hundred feet, and its
wild and savage beauty is a prominent
feature in the scenery of the famous
Dublin Bay. The railroad track is
cut in the solid rock at a great height
above the sea, to which there is an
abrupt descent. The cnrve is rather
sharp around the Head, and trains
generally run slow In going round,
and passengers looking out of the
windows see wall of rock on one
side, and empty air on the other, viii e
far below the waves may be seen
breaking on the shore. Few can have
visited the spot without thinking, with
a shudder Of horror, OF the possibili-
ty Of such an accident as has now oc-
Cured, and it almost seems impos-
sib1e that even one passenger should
have escaped. The cars must have
fallen directly into the sea, as the rock
is almost straight down, and there .is
but little margin at the base Further
particulars of this shocking casualty
will be awaited with interest.

Trade Prospect.

+ We are assured that in the great
centres Of business the indications for
activity are favorable. Both buyers
and sellers have been and are likely
to be too cautious to permit anything
like speculation or undue excitement.
The stock of imported goods on hand
is represented to be light, and not
more than sufficient to supply the de-
mand. 1t may be fairly inferred that
prices will be well sustained. The
New England mills having either
temporarily suspended or reduced to
short time, there is no prospect that
the market will be over-supplied, and
fair competition as well as well sus-
tanned prices is confidently expected.
OF the future, the New York Com
suercial Bulletin says: -
with respect to the probable de-
mand for the Fall and Winter trade. we
find that the indications are satisfac-
tory. The country is generally as
bare of merchandise as the grain mar
kets were at the opening Of harvest.
Notwithstanding the manifestations of
extravaganza by certain classes. the

The President and the Democracy.

the PfcSiaenb anu the DUWOOfo ooys
The poor opinion Of President
JOHNSON entertained and cautiously
expressed by our neighbor, the Gov
lrier, appears to be pretty generally
concurred in by the Democratic papers
all over the country. The Chicago
Times solemnly advises him to resign ;
and the false report which was tele-
graphed from Washington recently
that he was about to vacate the Presi-
Dental chair in disgust, is received by
the press of that party without the
slightest manifestation of regret or
remonstrance. Some of them advise
him to throw up his hand = and quit
the White House; others intimate
that it would be better for the future
prospects of the Democratic party If
he would retire from the Presi-
dency, remarking that every
step he takes strengthens his op-
ponents and weakens his sup
porters. The Chicago Tribune says il
is very clear that if Congress shall
impeach and remove him, no tears
will be shed by the Democracy on
his account. Indeed they would ra-
ther have him removed than retain
cd, and will feel disappointed if he is
allowed to drag out the miserable
remnant of his term. He has for
feited the respect and confidence OF
all parties, and has come to be re-
garded, by common consent, as ut
terly played out, a disgrace, an
eyesore and stencil in the nostrils
of all honorable men. Hated by the
North, despised by the South, he pre-
sents vivid example of the penalty
which treachery and apostacy always
receive at the hands of the people.

The Franchise Law of Tennessee.

Immediately after the Tennessee
election, the Knoxville correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial
telegraphed to that paper, and thence
the report was extensively published,
that Governor BRowNLow was In
favor of repeating the franchise law
and making suffrage universal. The
Governor, in letter to the Nashville
Press and Times, says:
The report has gone the rounds of
the newspapers to the effect that L
had made a speech in this city, after
the late election, declaring myself in
favor of the enfranchisement of every
man in the State twenty-one years of
age. | never made any such speech,
and for the best reason in the world
II entertain no such sentiment. My
sentiments now are what they were
when our franchise law was enacted.
IF there be any difference with me,
my faith in the workings of that law
has been strengthened by the bad
conduct of the rebel papers and their
leading politicians. t.4
/ am, &c., w. G. BRowNLow
The Press and Times, in publish
ing the letter, says:
The author of the dispatch sent
from Knoxville was either guilty of
fabricating a sensational report for
sheer love of mischief, or else he was
imposed on by some lying informant;
or it may have been trick concocted
to inveigle the leading dailies Of the
North to declare for rebel suffrage, on
the ground that its great adversary,
Gov. Brownlow, had abandoned his
opposition to it. OF course, no one
was deceived by the transparent
fraud, who knew Gov Brownlow.
It will be time enough to moot the
question of relaxing the provisions of
the franchise act. when the men for
whose restraint the act was framed
have brought forth fruits meet for re-
pentance. The incendiary tone of the
leading Democratic organs, from
whose columns we have quoted freely
since the election, is overwhelming
proof that the time has not yet arriv-
ed. There is no virtue in suffrage to
make patriot out of .disloyal man.
The Tennessee rebels all had the
privilege of suffrage in 1861. but
that did not deter them from
the infamous crimes of Sc
dition, treason and rebellion. Meth
er has the repeal of the Kentucky
Expatriation Act had a salutary in
fuence over returned Kentucky re-
bells, or made them lenient to Union
men. The Republicans of that State
to-day are banned and excommunica-
ted. 1t is no reason for repeating the
franchise act, that the loyal, men
might still carry the elections. The
Legislature which passed that law
acted on the principle that disloyal
nen have no right to vote, and the
principle applies with as much force
to a rebel minority as it does to
rebel majority. 1t is as just when ap-
piled to fifty, az when applied to fifty
thousand rebels.
