10 the Government, except the small
amount OF pay to the cadets. He
suggests that the manner of making
these appointments should, be by add
ing three at large additional, to be
appointed by the President, and by
regarding vacancy as existing in
each Congressional District when the
cadetrepresenting it enters the second
class.
Gen. Grant also recommends the
continuance for another year of the
additional pay allowed to the officers
of the army by last Congress.
The reports of the Military Com
manders are incorporated in that of
Gen. Grant. He compliments highly
the judicious manner in which they
have fulfilled the duties of their diff
fcult positions, without bias from
any judgment of their own as to the
merit or demerit of the law they were
executing. N Y. Herald.

Rallroad Meetlng at Grayville.

On the evening of the Both ult.,
/ Hon. @. B. Raum addressed a very
/ large assemblage of the citizens OF
| GRANVILLE, on the subject of the G.. Il
/ Y. r. r.
The meeting was organized by call
| ing Mr. Charles Agniel to the chair,
and appointing DR.. Cook Secretary,
The Gen. gave glowing description Of
the bright prospects of the enterprise,
and showed how plainly the consum-
nation of our wishes was within our
grasp. He then explained, il detail,
the brilliant offer of the PennsylVa-
MIA Central r. Il. Co., through Gen.
A E. Burnside, and the conditions
of. that offer. 1t is this: That
if the counties, corporations, and
individuals on and near the line,
viii make up bonus Of $500, 600, in
/ Bonds, Real Estate, or labor, the
Pennsylvania Central will enter into
1 bonds with Gen Raum to build and
equip the road. commencing the work
at Cairo and Vincennes Immediately.
None of the bonus to be paid, how
ever. by any county or corporation,
until the road shall be built, and the
cars running through the entire
| length of the subscribing county.
There are $500 900 already voted,
leaving only g 0,000 to raise, the
quota of White being but $4,000.
Was ever so favorable an opportunity
offered to a people for ~enriching
themselves and their posterity, and
for developing the vast resources of
Southern Illinois, as this? We ven
ture to say, neverl nor, if we let this
golden opportunity slip, can weezpect
it ever to be offered again.
Ten or fifteen. thousand dollars of
this amount, is asked Of the COrpo-
ration Of GRANVILLE, town that will
be more largely benefited by the road
than any other town on the whole
line, Cairo only excepted. The cltl-
zens appeared to appreciate the offer,
and as it would take some thirty five
days to get through the routine Of an
election to take a vote on the subject,
il was proposed to make the amount
by private subscription. AS the citi-
zens were coming forward and sub
scribing literally, a happy thought
struck some one, and a scheme was
the subscription Of the required
dulUuut, ana ulcA We nave uOt rum
to explain now.
Fellow citizens of the more favored
parts Of our State, we are to have
road, and that without delay. 1t
is fact = not a common fact,
but a decided and incontrovert-
ible fact "a fact at least one hun
dred and fifty miles long, and of
at least railroad width and depth.

paeans of victory over mud wagons
and corduroy roads. In twelve
months from this, you may come and

have, you may possibly leave by the

HORRIBLE DEAru.-For some days past
worlmcn have been engaged in building q
new railroad bridge at Bridgeport, on the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. The
old bridge has been raised on trestle work,
and is still used by trains, the new bridge
being built directly under the old. The side
railing has been taken off the old bridge, and
there is scarcely room for a man to stand on
either side of the track, while in some places
there IS not an inch of room. These work.
men we're engaged at one end of the old bridge
Yesterday morning, at work, when negro
boy, emp ployed by them, who was about the
centre Of the bridge, started on haad car
towards them. There being an incline Of sew
era! feet between the centre and end of the
bridge, the boy found that he could not re-
strain the impetus Of the car, and shouted for
the men to get out of the way. Two Of them
were able to do so, standing on tip.toe, bare
ly escaping being tbrown off. The third man,
however, named George Cloud, was at n
point on the bridge where the TRACK was the
only foot hold. He was unable to move and
called to the boy to stop. 1t was too late.
The car rushed onward, knocking the unfor-
tunatc man off the bridge. He fell sixty feet,
striking his head and side against rock. As
sis.ancc was rendered to him as soon as pos
sible, by his comrades, and it was found that
be was still living, although terribly bruised.
Cloud lived an hour and half after his fall
and then died in terrible agony.-Chnttnnoo-

A THIEF CAUGHT I'm the spring of 1865,
while the families of &c" eral Wade Hampton
and General John S. Preston, were refugees
in this town, large portion of the family
plate and Jewels were concealed in retired
spot, near tho village, to protect them from
Sherman's "bummers." The "bummers''
did not come as was expected; but the CON
cealed valuables we're stolen from their Liding
place and not until few days ago, did the
most vigilant searches avail anything towards
discovery OF their whereabouts.
On Saturday last, General Hampton re-
ceived telegram from Knoxville, Tennessee,
announcing the arrest of one Robert McLain,
sth some of the lost valuabIes in his posses
sion; and also o statement from McLaln.
where the remainder might be found.
On Tuesday evening haul was made upon
the remaining articles, which were concealed
in the house CT brother, A!pheus Mclean,
about three miles from this place. This prop
erty is Of very valuable character, compris
ing Jewels and plate, that have an untold val
nc 10 the owners as family heir-looms. Tie
actual value of tho articles recovered in
Knoxville and here is probably about five or
elk thousand dollars. Very few of the articles
are vet missing, and these of small value
McLain will probably be returned to this place
for trial. He statcs that he found the box
containing !he valuabics, while out hunting,
few days after it was iidden; and having
once appropriated it, he conld not command
courage enough to return it to its lawful ow
ncrs. Very likely !-YorkSille Enquirer:

the country used to bo sent to Congress, and VIC
were in tho habit of reading their speeches with n
kind of veneration. But not so now; far from it!
Congress now a.days is an illegal body, and the
places formerly occupied by decent, honorable and
respectable men are now filed, for the most part,
by those who make no attempt to restrain their
brazen dishonesty.
But ,ct, during the coming session, tho eyes of
the country will be fixed upon these men with

bcgini What will they do with that body Of
death, the negro-sufragc question! Will they
declare the new Constitution Of Maryland not re-
publican because it rejects negro suffrage? Will
they admit the Senator from Marylond7 Will they
admit the Representatives of kentucky? Will
they forco Stanton back into the War Dep artmcnt?
Will they begin to put Stevens, Sumner, Butler,

More Pleasant Than The Singin, OF

The Grand chorus which is being shoutct ont
IN The North md West in behalf of popula, lib
erty ara = white mans government! Last week
we alluded briefly to the result Of the lato olec-
t;ons in those sections Of tho Union; this week
we again take up the pleasant tbemc. This grand
cborns was raised by Connecticu: in March last,
when English, tho Democrat, beat Hawley, the
Radical, by majority of 500; early this fall, it
vas taken up by California, Vermont and Maine /;
Inter. by Ohio and Pennsylvania; and now, New
York, Maryland, Massachusetts, New jersey,
Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas swell
the volume until its echoes resound from the Lakes
70 the Gulf-from Maine to Mexico; confirming
the general fact that at last Radcalisin has found
its limits, that the tiio of folly hos ceased Its
flood, that the eJt has begun-thnt ebb which is
to sweep the Republican party backwards INTO
The dccp sea of aupihilntion. And al this, truly
should give hope and encouragement to overy ono
who wishes we'll for his country.
No attempts which the Republicans may make
to cxrlain away their late significant and forebod
ing defeats can be Of any avail. They haTe no
been beaten by any lack of effort to ward of tai
blow, for never did they conduct campaigns Will
greater spirit, energy and perseverance, or with
more lavish expenditure of monOy. No, the,
huvc been beaten because they have governed tot
much and too pcrfdiously. The passions of th
las: six years arc rapidly dying out by the e1
hausti9n Of their fuel; and the people OF th
North and West are becoming heartily sick ant
tired Of this wrctched tale of protection to Fred
men while the constitutional rights of freen'e"
their own race are being ruthlessly trample'
under feot The Republican party, whether 10
good or for evil, has we'll nigh accomplished it
mission. 1t must die with the issues which gav
it birth and have kept it in power. And tn
twelve NJ onths which intervene between now an
the Presidential election will witness the dcclin
and fall of pasty which has done moro mischia
shod moro blood, sqnandered more treasure

deeper wounds on constitutional government, tina
