blind to the fact stated by us that our
sentiments have been endorsed by
every Republican newspaper in the
First District, number of which ar
ticles the editor has seen, if he has
been as diligent reader of the JOUR-

been fully and decidedly endorsed by
every member of the party in the Dis

LANE does not have even an apologist
for his action in, reference to the Ev-

hope the Courier has read the Indian

The Proposition of the E., I'll. & N
: - - - ~ Railroad. N s.

We lay before our readers this
morning the proposition of Gen. j.
T. BOYLE, the President of the Evans
vile, Henderson and Nashville Rail-
road Company, to the City Council of
Evansville, for subscription ofstock
to the amount Of $500, 900. and also
the letter of General BOYLE to Mayor
BAKER, explaining the proposition,
and giving somewhat in detail the
condition and prospects Of the road.
These papers every voter, and es-
pecially every citizen, who takes any
interest in, the welfare and prosperity
of the city, should read and fully un-
derstaud. 1ss1re,eF.t
There is, we think, a very great
I degree Of unanimity among our citi-,
zeus in favor of the, enterprise. It is
accepted as fact that the completion
of the Road will be of very great
benefit 10 Evansville. 1t is also con-
ceded,, we believe, that this City
should render such material, aid in
its construction as is compatible with
its ability and other important public
enterprises, and upon conditions con-
sistent with the sCity's interests In
determining these, questions, large
liberality and wise foresight of our
prospective prosperity should be ex-
Aercised. We commend the PROPOSE
ton and the letter Of General BOYLE
te1the attenGSel constellation of our
citizens. and ask that they may be
thoroughly canvassed and decision
arrived at which will result in giving
a new Impetus to the growth and
business of Evansville. CaoNo

Conditions trammelling it further,

Will you, Mr.. Mayor, and the City

Benefits of the Road? The portion

Road has contributed largely to the
business, growth, and prosperity of

There can be no doubt that a very de-
termined and carefully planned attempt
was made on Monday to initiate a Feni-
an Instruction by the seizure of Chester
Castle and q large quantity of arms and
ammunition stored there, and that the
attempt was only frustrated by the ener-
getic action of the authorities. Some
Of our contemporaries have endeavoured
TO show that the whole affair was a hoax,
and that the great object Of the gathering
was a p~rize-fght +; but the facts which
have since come to light impart a very
different aspect to the affair. As will be
seer by a reference to our Parliamentary
report, the Ministers have given very
ample explanations of their reasons for
considering the matter in a serious light.
Further arrests were made in Dublin
on Wednesday ; but the most important
intelligence from Ireland is the announce
ment that a police station near Cahirci-
veen, on the Valentia road, was attacked
on Tuesday night, and that the arms in
the barracks were seized by the raiders.

Washington, Feb. 4,-The meeting

of opinions seemed TO dispel the gloom
somewhat. Other meetings will follow.
passage by the Senate of either bill is
abating, though the excitement and OPP
prehension is still great.
The State of Louisiana is abolished by
the bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by MIR. Elliott. The existing
Government in all its parts is displaced.
The political community is dissolved.
None of its laws remain in force of their
own authority /; such as are retained sur
vive Ivy virtue of IA special recognition in
this Act. The State boundary and the
name are all that is untouched. The
Government is to be administered by a
Governor and Council of nine, with full
Legislative powers. These are to be APP
pointed by the President, and are only re-
movable by the President, with the con
sent of the Senate.
This organization is to be temporary.
There is to be a general election in June
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Sc
nate, and House Of representatives, as in
the case of Territories applying for admis-
sion. The Suffrage qualifications are all
new, DISTINGUISHING the greater part of
the white inhabitants ofEhe State. VO-
tiers must be 25 years olHs with no excep-
ton Tor race or colour. In october there
is to be another election for a Conven-
ton to form a new Constitution, prepare
tory for an application for admission into
the Union as "A State. The Constitution
must not permit any distinctions on &C
count of race or colour, and must provide
against the assumption or payment OF any
debt, obligation, grant, or gift, by reason
of anything done in support of the rebel
lion. This done, there is to be another
vote by the same voters taken on the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the Constitution.
1t is then to be submitted to Congress,
and if accepted the State is to be ~receiv-
ed, and there viii he a fourth election
for State Officers. The Elliott Bill is a
special act, based on the report about the
July riots. AS soon as it passed, the
Military Bill of Thaddeus Stevens was
TAKEN up, DIS d IuTCu6F anu ScHcIdI Iuod-

Three hundred and fifty thousand people
are deprived of every political right, and
practically return to political slavery, says
the PicayWne, because a "riot" broke out
in one portion of the State, which was
not repressed without loss of life!
The Republicans were jubilant over the
passage of Eliot's hill by the House. The
New York Tribune of the 18th says that
the Bill at once takes Louisiana from
the power of the men who dragged her
into rebellion, and who are depressing
those who opposed rebellion.
