Railroad Progress I'm H0vy:a.

Esa1AEOAu Progress lfs Row "a.
The progress Of the Minnesota
Central southwark tends to increase
the interest which is felt in the CEN
trail portion of our State respecting
the securing of an early connection
with St. Louis. In this connection
information concerning the progress
Of the connecting link: in Iowa be-
comes Of Importance. The prospect
is now, that this connection will be
effected through the medium Of two
competing and essentially parallel
roads. One of these, the Iowa
Central, is to run from its conncc-
tion with the Minnesota Central q t
the Iowa liuu ovutLmarfl thrnnah
Mitchell, Floyd and Butler Counties
to Cedar Falls in Black Hawk Go. :;
thence southwark. passing through
Toledo, in Tama Co.. Eddyville and
Abba, to the State line of Missouri,
there to connect with the North Mis-
souri, r. f., which is under contract
to be graded up to the point of con-
nection by the 1st Of September,
1867. Subscriptions have been
taken in the Iowa Central to the
amount of $l45, 900 along the line
of the road, and it is said that steps
| have been taken which render the
raising Of the remainder of the stock
certainty. The other line through
Iowa is the Cedar Rapids and Saint
Paul Il. r., whica, starting from
Cedar Rapids, in linn county, runs
northwestcrly, following the general
course of the Cedar River, through
Vinton and La Porte 70 3 point at

Ih2ro are some questions tbat
may not come before the Supreme
Court Of the Cnitol States that
would be Il puzzle: When thess
Southern states were in rebellion,
did they forfeit any Of their rights
as States: Had they not right to
10 borrow money and pledge tho
of their States? Where is the clause
Of the Constitution, CT law made in
pursuance thereof, hy which any
State officer forfeited bis office, if
the State, did resist the authority Of
the Federal Government:
Congress has power to declare the
punishment Of treason; but it must
be done before the crime is commit
ted, and can't he inflicted before
conviction. So, if a law declaring
that State officer should forfeit
his Office, if he resisted the author
ity ofthc United States, had ex-
existed, he must first have been
convicted Of the offence. But no
such law was passed, and it would
not have been Constitutional if it.
had passed, for the Federal Gov
crnment has no control over State
Offices.
Now, if the Supreme Court should
, decide that those Governors in Office
in the seeded Sta tcs were the law
full and Constitutional Governors Of
those States, and that all the State
authorities were also the legal and
| Constitutional officers of their States
what would become of all that has
followed?
II seems to us that such must be
the decision Of the tribunal that is
guided by laws aud Constitutions,
and not by necessity and discretion.

"BILL ARP ON THE SITUATION.

1t is needless for us to ask cur readers to read
the letter of 'Bill Arp published in this issue
on the first page, in which he gives some of his
views On the situation, none would fail to do
So even if we advised them not. 'Bill APPS
head is still level and his posish' is about right
We concur with him when he says that some
good people have got shalSy in the knees, and
its the duty every good citizen to keep the dis
ease from spreadin if he CAM AS yet, this dis
ease about here, like the cholera last Summer, is
only sporadic, but there is great danger that it
will become epidemic.
Bill Arp harpoons "Joe Brown a whale in
the most skillful manner-such as would do Gre
dit to the most experienced whalernan. This
'Joe Brown, as our readers are aware, is Elk
Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia. bill Arp
is about right when he says:

they they will will quit doing it, and my advice
is to safer and be strong endure eresytS5ag and
accept nothing. Ali is lost save honor, hold up

EGYPTIAN CORN HuMRuG.

As we have published the advertisement of F.
E. G. Lindsey in reference to his Egyptian corn,
and as we learn that it is humbug, we feel it to
be a duty to put our subscribers upon their
guard that they may not be imposed upon. We
learn from letter from Mr.. VIM. Dinwiddie,
published in the Charlottesville Chronicle, that
Mr. j. w. McCue, of Nelson, ''in 1865, sent this
man Lindsey five dollars, and received in return
ten grains of corn These he planted in q piece
of rich, new land, halfa mile from any other corn,
marking exactly the spot in which each grainswas
planted Nine out of ten grains came up. He
cultivated the plants with great care and with
this result From each grain there grew single
straight stock, like ordinary corn and on each
stock a single ear ofthe most common yellow corn.
Mr. McCue desires to save others from the i'm
position practiced upon himself. He also states
that his kinsman, j. Marshall McCue, Esq, OF
Augusta, purchased some ofthe Egyptian Corn
about the same time with himself, and cultivated
it with the same result"
We have received letter from j. Marshall
McCue, Esq, of this county, endorsing fully the
above statement, and denouncing the transaction
on the part of Lindsey shameful and outra-
geous cheat
