Railroad Extension.

On our second page, this morning
will be found a letter from a gentle
man well-known in this city; urging
the extension of the Evansville and
Charlottesville Railroad north from
Rockville, through Africa to Crown
Point on the Chicago and Great
Eastern Railroad, making, with the
latter road, a through line to Chicago.
1t is evident hat we are to have a
through railroad to Chicago. Whether
it is to go by the way of Danville,
Illinois, or Attica, will depend greatly
upon the enterprise and liberality of
the citizens living on these routes re-
%spectively. We are confident the e.
4 Z. Road is willing to extend a
helping hand to either enterprise. as
they see an opening for a successful
application of assistance. Therefore.
we say to our correspondent on the
pearly banks" of the Wabash. hat
if his people want road to run
through their town. let them 20 to
work at once aud see what they can
do in the way Of securing subscrip-
tons.

A FoRGER ARRESTED. = About
eighteen months ago, Henry d.
WiFts, a lawyer, who was the attorney
in the Biackford C-unty ballot-box
breaking case, forged certificates for
witnesses fees, etc., and upon the
false papers drew from the State
Treasury about three hundred and
fifty dollars. That was the last of
Mr.. Wirts. A few days since il was
a%scertained that he was living in
Boonville, Warrick County. under
the assumed name of Wilson. A
warrant for his arrest was placed in
the hands ofpoliceman LAWN NJ.
Russell, who had the good fortune to
him, and he placed him In the
county jail yesterday. There is no
doubt Of the guilt of Mr.. Wirts, and
his transfer to the State Prison is but
a question of time, and not very much
time at that.-Ind. Journal.
The Confederate Democracy of
Warrick County complain bitterly at
this summary extinguishment of one
of their brightest luminaries. They
regard it as a trick Of the Abolition
lists to influence the October election.

Learning to WORN.

The Southern people are learning
to work. OF course it goes hard with
them at first, and they naturally dis
like their teachers. Like lazy school
boys who, by reason Of their wealth,
aud having others to do their work,
and who have been INDUCED for long
time 10 a superabundanee of holidays,
it is hard for them to submit to the
stern discipline of that memorable
schoolmaster, Necessity. But after
they get used to it they will feel all
the better for it. They viii sleep
sounder of nights, and have less time
to devote to the drinking saloons. In
a few years they will regard with
pleasure what they now look upon as
the greatest hardship connected with
reconstruction = the compulsion of
earning their bread in the sweat of
their own faces or starving. As an
indication that this will be so, we
copy a paragraph from the Tensas

The Bill of Rights of the new Con-
stitution of South Carolina-the home
Of CALHOUN and the. birthplace Of
secession-contains the following re-
markable declaration, viz: This
State shall ever remain a member Of
the American Union, and all attempts,
from whatever source, or upon what
ever pretext, to dissolve said Union,
shall be resisted with the whole power
Of the State" This Bill of Rights.
aud the Constitution of which it forms
part, have just been adopted by the
people of South Carolina, by a large
majority. 1t demonstrates how much
the people of that State have learned
by the war. For thirty years previous
to her secession, the political leaders
of South Carolina taught a doctrine d.
ametrically the opposite of that ineul-
Gated in the Bill of Rights of the new
Constitution. Then, the doctrine was
that a State had the right to nullify
the laws of Congress, or secede from
the Union, whenever, in the opinion
of her people, it was to their interest
to do so. Whatever else may be the
result of the great war growing out of
the rebellion, it is very certain the
dogma of secession is buried so deep
it will never again be resurrected.

IT is a little singular that the rail-
roads which will be the least bene-
fitted by transporting delegates to the
State Sabbath School Convention,
which meets in Fort Wayne IN June,
have cheerfully consented to a half
fare arrangement. But the roads
leading directly into that city. over
which all of the delegates must of
necessity pass, have refused to make
any reduc ion from their regular rates.
These roads are the P~ittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago. Toledo, Wabash &
Western, Michigan Southern & North
ern Indiana, Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton, and the indianapolis, Cincin
natl & Lafayette Railroads. Their
refusal to make half-fare arrange
ments, will, no doubt, keep many dele
gates away from the Convention. Ft.
Wayne is so far north, and the ex-
pense Of a trip from the southern
parts of the State would necessarily
be SO heavy, even at half-fare, that
many will back out when they aseer-
tain that the trip cannot be made at
half-fare.

out-the old, the young, the iufrm,
the sick, were hauled or came hating
to the polls-all to no avail. Several
