Organize for the Election.

There is some evidence In certain
quarters of quiet opposition to the
Nashville Railroad. This is not un-
expected. There are few disaffected
persons in this city, who have been
riding one hobby for years, and they
must now interpose with it in the way
of the Evansville, Henderson & Nash
vile Road. There is no danger that
it will amount to a serious opposition
if the friends Of the road are awake,
and see that full vote is polled. There
can be no doubt but that very large
majority of the citizens of Evansville
are in favor of accepting the propsi-
ton submitted blythe Council. The
only fear we have is that over conf
dence may induce many to stay from
the polls.
We, therefore, suggest that Com
mittee be appointed at the meeting
tonight in Lamasco, to nominate
Rallying Committee in each Ward, of
known and active friends of the
Road, whose duty it will be to see
that full vote is polled on Monday
next. In such an important enter
prise as the one now to be voted upon
it is very important that every citizen
be out and express his opinion at the
polls. The Nashville Road has moth
ing to fear, if it can secure full
vote ts.

Set Mt Rest.

Chief Justice CHASE has rendered
an important decision. A Pennsyl-
vania firm brought an action against
a North Carolina firm for debt con-
tracted before the war. The defend
ants pleaded that the Rebel Govern
ment was Government de Jacto, and
that the debt was sequestered by the
Rebel Government as the property of
an alien enemy, and the claim having
been paid to said Government, they
should be relieved from further obi
cation to the plaintiffs. Judge CHASE
has decided that payment to the Rebel
Government is no bar to recovery by
the original creditor. This decision
will set at rest multitude of similar
cases, and the rebels who thought to
defraud their creditors by payment to
the Rebel Government now find how
mistaken they were.
