fhe Henderson d. Nashville Rail
road. A


The Courier publishes a very ILL
timed communication from some
anonymous writer, in reference to the
proposition made by General BOYLE
to the Mayor and City Council, in re-
ference to : subscription of stock to
the projected Evansville Henderson
* Nashville Railroad. The CORES
pondent says:
- "Can you 5nform eus, Mr.: Editor, in
WHOSE pocket it is sleeping? Allow me to
suggest. sir. thaty you make d noise, a great
noise. and thereby, perhaps, scare it out. 81
Lett nave a m~eeting-a gathering of all
the citizens of the place, and hence under
stand what theEp people do want. IA
/ believe they want a railroad, at least 1
am in favor of their having TN o%pportuni-
ny of saying publicly what they want.
In commenting upon it, the Courier
says:
4 This proposit on of General Boyle's was
made TO the citizens of Evansville, through
their Mayor, and not to the Mayor alone,
or any one single Individual, or a dozen,
or two dozen. either. It was meant to be
tcthCh up NIio tNbCN@ StbAA ~ thCr PNopASp
and the people should be allowed to act.
1t ought not to be necessary to in
form the Courier and its astute cor
respondent, that it issin the power4of
amy one or more responsible citizens
to have the matter brought up in the
City Council, IF any such will ap-
pear before that body at its next
meeting and ask the consideration of
the question, We. doubt not the Coun-
ell will give it due consideration. It
ought to be known to the Courier, or
its City reporter, that Gen. BOYLE
and other friends ofthe E., Ell. & N.
Road, have for afew days past been
in the City, in conference with Mayor
BAKER and JOHN INGLE, Jr., Presi-
dent of the u. & G. Railroad, in ref
erence to the projected Road. There
is not such urgent and imperative
haste necessary as to forestall
or prejudice the deliberations
of these gentlemen. We have
not yet heard whether they
have fully concluded their con-
ference, but we understand that it is
not the wish Of Gen. BOYLE or the
interested friends of the Road that
the proposition for subscription be
prematurely urged, OF, that the Coun-
Gil be constrained to act upon it until
the whole question is ripe for de-
| cision. Jal.ef YsnaY

thority to subscribe. stock in enter.
Eprises Of this character, wa not re-
ceived in this city until yesterday.
I We suggest to our contemporary
that the u~nwarranted iaspersions cast
upon Mayor BAKER are in no wise
calculated to promote the objects de-
signed. The great mass of the citi-
zens of Evansville have confidence
in his financial and business judg-
ment, especially on questions Of this
character, and are fully satisfied that
he will be- actuated by no other mo
I re than the best interests of the
feity. Il would be- well to awaitthe

the Bloomington Road. On the same
night a lot of harness were takon from the
