NEWS OF THE WEEK.
WASHINGTON.

ONs
We have little to report to this week
from Washington either of a political
or military nature. The Conservative
committee from Tennessee have had an
audience with the President in regard
TO the condition of affairs in that State,
and assurances have been obtained that
every means within the power of the
President will be employed to keep
order and prevent the calling out of the
militia.
Judge underwood has been urging
the Secretary of War to make sweeping
changes in the Virginia judiciary, but
without success.
Senator Fowler has published card
denying complicity in the Rollins affair.
Gen. Rosecrans has returned from his
visit to Gen. Lee and other Southern
generals at the Greenbrier White Sui
phur. His mission was undertaken
upon his own responsibility, and beyond
a pleasant meeting and the assurances
of the Southern generals that the people
of the South ale anxious for and desir-
Gus of peace, will result in little.

Another Letter from Mr.. Spicer on
Railroad Matters-Good Advice.

announcer LCLter from Mr.. 6p1Cer on
Railroad Matters-Good Advice.
Mr.. Editor:-Fearing wrote too has
tily in my letter from Chicago in rcla-
ton to our railroad enterprise, I con-
cluded to write you again to more fully
explain the matter.
The sum and substance of our results
is simply this: The managers of the
company in Chicago feel unwilling, at
this time, to do for US or promise to us
any thing at all just at this time but
that in June the Board Of Directors
meet, and will make general examina-
ton of their affairs and will pass over
the entire line to Omaha and have gen
eral inspection of the road and property
themselves, and look after the general
interests of the company; aud that we
must present our BATTER to them at that
time. This is all there is of n-delay.
The reasons they give for this are very
good ones-based or financial princi-
ples-the requirements for ready money
to meet calls. They told US that during
the last year their expenses were $780,
Oou above income; that this was occa-
stoned by several canses over which
they had no control. That the SHOWS of
last winter being unprecedented caused
enormous loss, delays and expense. That
this was followed by freshets that carried
away bridges, culverts and track, caus-
ing still greater OUTLAWS. That breaka-
ges, repairs and increase Of rolling stock,
and many other moths have called for
large sums of money. Lastly, they are
only lessees Of the road aud have very
heavy rental to pay, so that withal the
road has proven a serious loosing busi-
ness to them. Add to this that they
all feel greatly aggravated by Iowa leg
islation, made it altogether the wrong
time for us to apply. But this will not
be so for all time-with a few months Of
profitable business, an examination of
their road, and reduction of losses and
extra expenses, will bring about o better
feeling.
If we can never obtain from them old
iron for our use, even then let US not
become discouraged, but try for new
iron on some independent action. From
information now obtained we learn that
cost Of completing per mile will be as
follows:
For new iron at mill In Penn, SIS y ton
! Freight to. Chicago, 8 :"

Whole cost per ton, $97

yard, making 80 peunds for, each three
feet q road, or 80 tons per mile. s...
50 tons, at s97 per ton, delivered, 81, 700

For Smiles, to Upton, Sc, 500
+ Ths snount would put the road In
oterdtiofi to Tiptoh. OF this amount
$7s, 800 must be paid for iron and
freights.
Now could not the company issue
$4,000 in bonds, and In some manner
get them cashed by guaranteeing the
payment Of the interest 800 per an
NUM-, either by corporation, vote of
townships, or individual Endorsement?
l certainly believe It could. This would
require the company to save a met profit
of 81 500 per annum ON this portion to
meet the interest on these bonds and
keep the securities harmless. believe
this can be done. -
After June, il the c. n. w. Co. can
not be induced to help us, let us put our
shoulders to the wheels and try this
plan. Let us not despond, but let us
remember that providence helps those
who help themselves" more especially
so In case Of railroads; for never yet, as
far as 1 know, has Providence built n
road or taken stock in one. 1t is by
effort, action and perseverance that rail-
roads are huilt-besides all these it gen
orally requires little money. We have
now spent about $50, OOO--let US perse-
we're little longer and we cannot fail.
Yours, WELLS SPICER.
