The Railroad Donation.

MEssRs EDIroRs:-I noticed in your
paper, of last week, some remarks concern
ing the judgment against the Com mission
ers for donating TO Mr. Lord five thou
sand dollars. and as they convey a wrong
impression Of the effect and extent Of the
judgment, allow me to correct them.
The complaint was amended, ut the
suggestion OF the Court, SO as TO make il
cover the whole Of the case as then argued,
in order that demurrer might test the
whole merits, which was done.
The Court then took undcr advisemept
the complaint and demurrer, which cover.
ed the right Of the plaintiff to bring the
suit, the liability of the defendants to be
sued, the power of the board, to make the
donation. aud che individual responsible
ty of the defendants for so acting; and on
every one Of these questions the Court ex-
pressed its opinion adverse TO the deien-
dap,s, aud held that the plaintiff had the
right to bring the suit; that the de.
&c pdants were liable to be sued individ-
ually; that the defendants as county
board had no power TO mako such
donation. and that the defendants
we're individually liable for making the
donation. 80 J@''5yll. 0'iw nia ,.ssf

ILLINOIS coRREsPoNpENcE.

LINCOLN, ILL, Oct. 9Th, 1867.
Dear american, 1t seems to me that
I owe you letter, and I may as we'll pay
my debts. You will see by the name at
the top of'the page that We are not at
Bloomington. and reesume We have left
there permanently. The College there is
not equal to the one you have 10 your
midst, save in protcnsions, and we are not
sorry to be out Of it,. The city Of Lin
coin, where the Conference sent us, is
about thirty miles from Springfield, and
about the same distance from Bloomington
on the Chicago and Alton Railroad
Twelve years ago il was broad and an
broken prairie, but to-day il claims pop
ulaIion Of five thousand.
Having been hero so short a time, /
cannot give many statistics or facts con-
cerning our city. We have, believe.
eight churches. four hotels, good court
house, four city parks. several school
houses, and fine College having over two
hundred students under the care Of the
Cumberland Presbyerians. The Metho-
dist Church is the strongest in the city,
and we proposes build church costing
SIS, 900, rs soon rs possible. Our Psrson
age is on the same lot with the Church,
and is only one block from the court
house, aud only three squares from the
Depot just now we are IN some disor-
der, and | write surrounded by boxes,
trunks, &C., for the house is being repain-
ted throughout, inside and out, and also
re. papered; a new cellar and cistern and
kitchen are under way, and the property
is to have new fence next week. We
have never had as nice house to live in
before. and our salary is more than double
any We ever received as preacher folks.
The way the peaches, potatoes, eggs,
honey, etc., have been sent in, is queer
thing to Hoosiers, and we never before
net with 80 kind aud cordial a reception.
| write these personal matters because
have no time to write to my correspon-
dents such things as they ask for. We
hope to have pleasant time. l have a
neighbor who has a $500 dog. and guns,
and who will take me next week after
prairie chickens. We go Tomorrow after
fish. Last week he caught pike three
feet long, and yesterday two men brought
to town four hundred pounds of pike and
buffalo, and we had splendid pike for
dinner to-day. DR.. Raymond and John
Adair would have glorious tunes here just
now.
Politically we are here what Illinois is
generally, aa right, aud as soon as jeff
Davis is hung aud his fellow laborer, A.
johnson Esq, is turned out, the people
will feel as good ss Methodists at a carp
meeting. We haze had the usual oiiliction
of County fairs-humbugs, the whole race
Of them--apd base ball "torments" have
been all the rage recently. l played buse-
ball a halfa day, more or less, aud need
ed machinery next day to help me move
gave up my bat and have felt better.
Next letter will hardly be so personal,
and will be along sooner than this has
been. = Yours, w. Il. q.

$50 nonds uounisrfeited.

Counterfeit, seven thirty bonds Of the
issue Of June, 1865, have been discovered.
The chief clerk of the Treasury first de-
iected them. They are pronounced the
best counterfeit ever made Of a Govern.
ment security. The amount out has not
been ascertained. They have passed
through the hands of the chief bankers il.
New York, and came to that city from
Piitsburg. Cleveland, Springfield. and 9th
or Western cities.
Two packages Of the counterfeit 80
bonds rere received in New York on Fri
DAY from the West. The first lot ever re-
ceived came from Leavenworth, Septem-
Der 18th, but lately most have come from
Buffalo.
New points Of difference between the
genuine and spurious 7-30s have been dis.
covered at Washington. About $4,000
of the counterfeit notes have been offered
at the Treasury. The New York Banks
refuse to receive back the bad notes which
were sent from their establishments, and
intend to contest their liability to replace
them. ~ t-4ft4 I-. I.f..

THE ELECTIONS.

There Is nothing in the result Of the
elections to discourage the Republican,
Had our men turned out and voted. the
slections would have been carried BY tho
usual msjorities. Most Of them, through
apathy. remained away from the polls, while
the Democrats turned out en- n'osse. We
have elected Republican Governor in
Ohio, but have lost The Legislature, which
secures . Democratic u. 8. Senator in
place Of Ben Wade. In Pennsylvania We
have the Legislature. while the Democrats
elected the Supreme Judge. Iowa has gone
Republican BY 10000 majority. The
Democratic talk about gains in Indiana is
MI humbug. Our defeat is not 80 bad
after all.
in this connection We copy the subjoined
paragraph from the Ciaciaaati Gosette:
The Democratic party have quite as
much difficulty in coming to a rational ex-
PLANTATION Of the lesson Of the election, aud
OF the issues it has decided. They talk Of
s1c foIttat fcdctlVhf btt VIZ SIC uoWucrc
suy increase Ia the Democratic vote.
Certainly there is pot a reaction to the
Democratioparty. 1t is 10 the same mi
nority still. In Hamilton county-which
Is sample ofihe State II they have not in
creased their vote. Even the growth Of
population has brought them no increase.
An obnoxious exhibition Of Democracy in
pablic acts will quickly unite this MAORI
ty and place the minority again in retire.
ment. III the arguments used in the can
vass denote the issues that the election
has decided, the chief one is TO issue green
backs without limit, aud force the bond
holders TO receive them. But this is an
issue for national politics, and the Eastern
Democracy denounce the scheme as one
10 plumber the people by initiating prices
and destroying the currency. SO the party
Is divided against itself, and the controll-
ing part is against this issue. Aud fur
thermore Republican Congress has con-
troll OF this issue for the noxt two years,
Ia the House, aud for an indefinite peri.
Cd ia the Senate, so that il tue Demo-
Gratis could agree on this il would be
impractieable.
Let US learn q lesson, turn out next
year, and elect Grant BY an overwhelming
majority.
Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1865-1872, 1867-10-18

no regrets for the course We have pursued
in This matter, as We have endcavored to
act fairly aud honorably in shielding Mr.
Julian from the undetermined advantage
which was sought 70 be gained over him
10 one of the new Counties Of his District.
The Indiana American is always open to
presentation Of the claims Of the various
aspirants for Congress in this District, but
we wish it distinctly undetstood that there
must be fair play and mo gouging."
Though we shall endeavor to control our
own editorial columns, We are always glad
to receive respectful communication from
whatever source.

THE EAST. FORK RAILROAD.

BY notice in this weeks paper it will
be seen that public attention Is again called
10 this enterprise. Weare not thoroughly
posted in all the details connected with
thesubject, but understand that a very
favorable opportunity presents itself 10 the
people of the East Fork Valley to secure
the construction Of this very imporian,
work, and thus place themselves on the
great North and South line Of Railroad
connecting the Gulf States with the ex-
treme Northern States.
1t is knownt that the people Of Rich
mond and those North have been laboring
for years TO construct Q Railroad from
Richmond to st. Wayne, a distance of sc
miles Within the last two years the
city of Richmond, in their corporate capac.
ity, with unauimity rarely cquaIed, have
appropriated one hundred and fifty thou.
sand dollars for this road by private SUBJ
scriptions. Her citizens within the same
period have raised over thirty thousand
more. Wells County this Summer sppro-
priated Que hundred thousand dollars for
shesame purpose, and the City and pco-
pie Of Fl Wayne stand ready to raise
another one hundred thousand dollars.
This, with road-bed for the entire
length, already nearly completed and paid
for, secures the road beyond doubt.
North Of Fl. Wayne company organ
ired some years back are vigorously con-
structing their road from IT. Wayne, $50
miles, to the Straits of Mackinaw, with a
land grant from Congress OF about one
and a quarter million acres. -
Mr.. Lord, controlling the road from
Brookville to Cincinnati, proposes 60 aid
the cSnstrae.;vn Of the road from Brook
willie to Richmond. a distance Of 80 miles,
thus filing up the gap. and throwing the
entire business Of the long line down the
East Fork Valley aud making it one Of
the great high,cays Of tho West.
Hitherto this beautiful and fertile Valley
has been neglected, and In the enterprise
Of the ago she is at least twenty years
behiad the times. Il takes money, and Q
large smoant of il, to make a Railroad
aud, left to herseifalone, the people Of the
Valley could not make the road. Rich
mond already has road TO Cincinnati pio
Eaton aud Hamilton; but to secure this
great Northern trade aud traffic, Mr.
Lord will aid the people Of the Valley to
make this liok ia the chain.
Dir. Lord cannot afford to, aud will no,
do II all. It is proposed that if the friends
alon- the limo will rslioquish or procure
the right Of way. and raise one hundred
thousand dollars, 10 be paid when the road
IL done. the work shall be completed. This
