RAILROAD TO THE COAL FIELDS.
Consultation with Citizens OF Hardin
County-Proposiiion for the
Completion of the Road
this Year. - -.

In yesterdays Herald mention was
made of the fact, that delegation of
citizens of Hardin county had visited
the city for the purpose of consulting
with gentlemen here interested in the
construction of a railroad from Ackley,
on the line of the ID. & S. G. II. r.. to
Eldora, in the heart Of the coal region.
These gentlemen have completed the
object of their mission and we are per-
mitted to make public the general result
of the interview. A meeting was
had yesterday with the principal officers
of the company formed sometime ago
for the construction of this road from
Ackley to Eldora. 1t was proposed Oil
the part of the company to have the
road graded and prepared for laying
the iron the coming summer, in consid-
Grafton OF the transfer of a perfect title
to the company OF tract of coal lands
in Hardin county, consisting of about
one thousand and three hundred acres,
These lands are now owned by the Ell
dora and Steamboat Rock Coal Com
pany, OF which the gentlemen compos-
ing the delegation from Hardin county
are members. AS all the members of
the coal company were not present the
proposition could not be finally accept
ed, but it is understood that there will
be no opposition to its acceptance at the
next meeting of the company which
takes place on the 4th prox. at Eldora.
In order to secure the early completion
of u railroad to Eldora, the members
of this coal company propose to con-
tribute so much Of their property as is
in these coal lands. 1t is
most liberal on their part and exhibits
the possession of wise enterprise.
Other property which they have in
Hardin county will be enhanced in
value, the day that witnesses tile COM
pletion of the road, to degree that will
more than compensate them for the OK
penditure.
Mr.. c. c. Gilman, president of the
railroad company, will be present at
the meeting of the coal company on the
4th of February, and we learn has
given assurances that if his proposition
is accepted the contract for ties shall he
let before he leaves Eldora. Platt
smith has undertaken TO supply large
number in the same event, and it is
understood the grading and prepare
lions for the iron shall be completed by,
the first of November, and possibly the
ears be running on the completed road
before the close of the present year.
The right of way over the Dubuque &
Sioux City road from Ackley to this
city is also to be secured.
The Importance of this enterprise
cannot be overestimated. It's compile
ton will control for Dubuque and the
crossing at this point large amount
of trade now seeking an outlet along
the Cedar Rapids railroad. 1t will also
assist in the development of the re-
sources of a section of the State the
wealthiest in agriculture and mineral.
Much praise is due to the gentlemen
who inaugurated and pushed it thus
far, and its completion will add still
more to their credit.--Heruld2 4th.

preme Court will be allowed to reverse
their decision. They have decided
that Congress has supreme authority in
time of war, and must necessarily be
the judge when and where and how to
exercise it. They lave decided that
States which rebelhav not continuous
right to refumc Mt their pleasure theil
functions in the Union, but are to re.
sumo them upon such terms as the vic.
torious loyal people in Congress may
determine. And since it appears that
neither the President nor the Supreme
Court acquiesce in this decision, they
must be made as harmless as possible
for their united opposition to Congress
would be ncediessly periious.
9 1t is plain that if Congress passes
laws which the Supreme Court declares
unconstitutional, and which the Presi-
dent, as Commander-in-C Chief, refuses
upon that ground to execute, the situa-
ton would be critical. But the remedy
is obvious; and it is not revolutionary.
When it was necessary to carry the Re-
form Bill of 1882, in England, and the
House Of Lords resisted, Earl Grey, the
Prime Minister, in order to save the
country from civil war, advised the
King to create enough new peers to Sc
cure the passage of the bill. 1t was a
process Familiarity known as swamp
ing the Lords The Lords yielded,
however, and passed the bill. If the
Supreme Court undertakes to declare
that the people of the United States, at
the end Of long and fearful war in
which they have saved the Govern
mcnt, can do nothing to secure that
Government from similar assaults here
after, let the Supreme Court be swamp.
ed by thorough reorganization and in.
creased number of Judges.
"The President, indeed, would NOM
mate the new Judges, and there would
be a long delay; for they would not be
confirmed. But it is safer to delay than
to break. The unrepresented States
would be the losers; for they would
neither return to Congress nor take
part in the Presidential election of 1868.
The question in regard to the Supreme
Court need not be misunderstood. It
is not whether in time of peace in a
loyal State the civil courts shall be su-'
preme, which nobody questions. 1t is
whether loyal men or rebels shall reor-
ganize the Union" I'D

To the editor of the Times !:


DEAR SIR: desire publicly to ac-
knowledge the obligation am under
to Mr. Crosby for the promptitude and
courtesy with which he has dealt with
me as the drawer of the opera house.
AS soon as the books were unsealed
by the committee and my name discov-
cred, II telegraphic message was sent
by him to Pettes and Leathe, the
agents of the association at st. Louis,
to "put faithful man on horseback
and at once notify me of the fact" and
this was done without expense to me.
The illness Of my wife has prevented
me from coming sooner to Chicago.
1t was my wish and request that l
might come here and transact my bust
ness with Mr.. Crosby without hecom-
ing the object of unpleasant notoriety,
and without having my name heralded
in the newspapers, and L feel deeply
indebted to him for the considerate
manner in which the request had been
observed, especially us it has cost him
some mbarrassment az well as occa.
stoned invidious comment.
Feeling that the opera house should
properly belong to Mr.. Crosby, made
him the offer; it was accepted in spirit
which is very gratifying, and the money
promptly paid to me.
My connection with the opera house
having thus happily terminated, I am
sir very respectfully and sincerely
yours. A. II. LEE.
