New Telegraph Line.

We are informed that a project Is
on foot among the citizens of Spencer
and Warriek Counties to construct a
telegraph line from Grandview, in
Spencer County, to this city. The
cost of such a line, composed of the
best material and substantially con-
structed, ready for use, would be
about four thousand dollars. It's value
to the people of Warrick and Spen-
Ger Counties could hardly be com
puted in dollars aud cents. There
are often cases of lie and death IN
which telegraph lines are made to
bear a part so important as to render
the fixing of value for the service an
utter impossibility.
But while the people of these coun
ties would be so largely benefited by
the construction of the telegraph, the
business men of this city would also
derive advantages from it they may
not now think of. It is no secret to
them hat much of the trade Of Rock
port aud Grandview goes to Louis
vile and New Albany. There is no
reason why all Of it should not be
concentrated Ia this city The build
ing Of the proposed telegraph line
would make communication between
these places and our city SO short, d.
rect and quick, as to naturally turn
their trade this way. Orders would
be multiplied, and our merchants
would be able to Eli them satisfacto-
rily. These counties are ali in this
Congressional District, and naturally
prefer to make Evansville their head
quarters.
There is still another reason why
u people should take an interest in
this line. A project is already on
foot to build a line from Hawesville
to Rockport, arrangements for which
would have been perfected before
this. had not the people of Rockport
preferred to have their Geographic
communication this way. But if our
people take no interest in TIE matter,
and contribute nothing when called
upon, the citizens of Rockport rather
than have no telegraph, will subscribe
to the Hawesville line, and Louisville
will get the trade we might have se-
cured.
We throw out these suggestions for
the consideration of our business
men, so that they may give them
proper attention, and be pre-
pared to act wisely and efficiently
when called upon to do so.

VALLANDIGHAM's paper says in re-
gard to the coming Presidential cam
paign: But of one thing. in our de-
liberatiye jud ment aud deep convie-
ton, all concerned may rest assured
and therefore Eastern Conservatives
and War Democrats and their allies
in the West, may take notice Of It
and govern themselves accordingly.
No platform or candidate win or can

State, that is committed, openly or

The editor of the Cairo Democrat
is in trouble, and has felt impelled
to obtrude upon the attention of the
public matters of a personal charac-
ter" The trouble seems to be that
some good Democrats, whom he has
supported for Office, aud who were
not unwilling to accept his support,
are now dissatisfied with his paper,
and are actually c~anvassers for Radi-
cal papers. Alas, alasl We have
fallen upon degenerate times. But
not deferred By their elamoro the
Democrat viii labor on under the
gratifying assurance that virtue is its
own reward, and that a prophet is
not without honor, save in his own
country and among his own kin. The
Democrat will battle while life lasts,
regardless of the embarrassments
which may surround it. Plucky

THF New York World insists that the
apparent nnanimity Of the nominstion Of
General Grant is OF no political significance.
Clay was nominated by reclamation and
with the same unaniinity by the Wing Con
vention in 1874, while the Democratic Con-
veptiop Of the same year came together
with a. much donbt as 10 a candidate as
may mark the opening proceedings OF the
Convention this year Yet when Polk was
nominated ihe party was thoroughly and
enthusiastically in accord, aud the candi-
date was triumphantly elected. For la
ser instance, il was hardly possible Cor any
convention to assemble with more must
candidates before il than the Democratic
Convention Of 1852 But when Pierce was
nominated against Scott the conqueror Of
Mexico there was "uusnimity' enough 10

WHO STOLE IT2

Hen. butler of fhe InquisltIOn Tits
with "a New Yorker, and il wOrsted.
From the Washington Correspondence of the
New York Herald. May q.
Mr.. Ralph w. Newton, of New York,
was the principal witness to-day, and was
under examination for four hours and a
half, with about the same results as in the
case of Mr.. Woolley. Thirty-six private
kilograms Of Mr.. Newton, relating 10 all
sorts OF subjects, were produced and read,
but nothing was ELECTED upon which to
base the shadow Of a proof of corruption.
Butler asked Mr.. Newton il he had not
written a certain letter to- Mr.. Smythe,
Collector of New York, and went on to in
dictate the contents ofthe letter referred 10.
The witness replied that he had that he
happened to leave it on the table in his
room unEOlded, and that il was stolen from
there. p. a ...rr I'D
"Who stole it?" inquired Butler.
81 expect you die" responded Newton.
The witness was put under arrest four
times, bat as often liberated, the whole
proceeding being conducted with mock
decorum that was quite refreshing To wit
ness. The witness resolutely persisted in
refusing TO disclose his private affairs,
though he very good humoredIy answered
all The questions he possibly could
without quite turning himself inside
out. Butler, for instance, read a tele-
gram addressed &c Collector Smythe-
"Come on here at once'-signed Newton,
aud asked the witness what nefarious
scheme he had in contemplation when he
penned such an atrocious request as that2
Newton replied that he felt lonesome and
wanted Smythe TO come along and take a
drink whereupon Butler got indignant and
said the board of managers was not 10 be
trified with in that fashion. A great deal of
such silly matter made mp the fruits Of to-
days investigation. Near the close of Mr..
Newton's testimony, he was asked if he had
ever known an offer of money made to the
President? He replied, with much grave
deliberation that he had, and Immediately
ali the managers become attentive and pre-
pared themselves, in Imagination, for am
other article OF impeachment. He stated
that Mr.. VIM. II. Appleton, the publisher,
had come to Washington some four or five
weeks ago, and signi6ed 10 the President
through Newton, that in case of his being
convicted, several gentlemen in New York
intended to present him with a purse Of
100000 in gold, and that the house oe
Mr.. Appleton would he at his service after
he quilted the Executive Mansion. In,
case he should be acquitted the sum 10 be
presented would be made 10000. There
was nothing improbable in this aud the
managers got discOusolate and told the
witness he might go.

ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN STATES

AhmfSSfON OE SOUTHERN STATES
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gdzeite writes on The 9th inst.
az follows: $50
'The general question Of bringing in The
Southern States has been good deal de-
hated among Republicans fort last three
or four days. Gen. Grant and Mr.. COlfax
both favor the speedy admission Of such as
have complied with the reconstruction
acts and can present acceptable constisu-
tions. There are some persons, however,
who profess 10 believe the true interests Of
the Republican party will best be sub
served by making haste slowly in this mat
teri The unanimity with which restOra-
ton bills have been put through the House
may, il is believed, betoken a general in
dication Of the feeling in the Senate. An
effort will probably be made in that body
tomorrow to get up the Arkansas bill. IL.
seems pretty certain that the Senate will
finally agree with the House 10 ordering a
new election in Alabama, bat that the
other reconstructed States will he admitted
before July"
