The stockholders of the Bellefon-
tame Railway Company will meet at
its office, in Gallon, Ohio, on the
second Wednesday of May, 1868, to
take into consideration and vote upon
the consolidation of the stock, prop
erty and effects of this Company with
that of the Cleveland, Columbus and
Cincinnati Railroad Company, upon
the basis-that for every one hundred
dollars of the stock of this Company
shall be issued to the owner thereof
one hundred dollars of the stock of
the Consolidated Company. and for
every one hundred dollars of the
stock of the Cleveland, Columbus
and Cincinnati Railroad Company
shall be issued to the owner thereof
one hundred and twenty dollars Of
the stock Of the Consolidated
Company. Thus we see that
consolidation is the order Of the
day. Appearances indicate thai
within a few years all the Rail
road lines in the country will be con
trolled and operated by a very limited
number of corporations. When these
monopolies perfect their arrangements
and get the navigable streams OBJ
structed with bridges and other i'm
pediments the people may expect to
pay roundly for their freights.

Mr.. BELMONT Is especially DESTROYS
that an appeal be made to the con-
sentative -elemeRtzwhieh=h has not here
tofore acted with the party. The
Dayton Ledger and the La Crosse
Democrat are forae,ast any such pro
gramme. The Democrat defines a
Conservative to be "a smooth
tongued, soft-stepping, sly, selfish,
treacherous, cold-bIooded, deceitful,
doubIe-faced, forked- tongued sneak"
Mr.. AUGUST BELMONT can retort,
however, by reminding the simon
pure Copperheads that Governor
ENGLIsH, Of Connecticut, whose re-
election has been the cause of so
mnch rejoicing among the uHterrifed,
is War Democrat. and during the
rebellion was burnt in efigy by the
Democracy of his State because he
wanted General LEE crushed and
voted in favor of the emancipation

The Greensboro Monitor is gratiied
to record that the Daviess County
Court on Monday, by vote of twelve
to seven, decided to make the sub
scription of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars voted by the people
last April to construct the Greensboro
and Russellville Railroad This Rail-
road, when completed, will be of great
value to the people of Greensboro,
and we are not surprised that the
Monitor is delighted with every move
that promises to contribute towards
its speedy completion.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-04-17

We quite agree with a writer In the
Philadelphia North American as to
the propriety of nominating none but
the best men for office. In some in
stances the best men will be defeated,
but all parties are the strongest when
they nominate their very best men.
Indeed. we are fully persuaded that
defeat with good men is preferable to
success with INSCRIPTIONS orsincapa-
bic candidates. We believe the time
is rapidly approaching when party
men even will not be forced to sup
port unfit applicants for office, simply
because they have manipulated some
party caucus and secured a nomina-
Tion. The diffusion Of intelligence
through our Common Schools has
wonderful effect In weakening party
ties and making men self-reliant and
independent. 1t is only the ignorant
who blindly follow self-constituted
leaders in all the follies and rascalitles
of which they may be guilty. The
correspondent Of the North american
says, in Philadelphia last Fall, the
prospect Of Republican victory there
was suddenly overcast by the rejec-
ton of good men and the nomination
Of favorites Of leaders, and not worthy
OF the party. The writer's views are
so sound that we quote them for the
consideration of Republicans else
where:
Since then this feeling has grown
stronger, and he must be blind, in
deed, to the evidence of public SEN
timent who does not see on the
part Of our people a resolute deter
mination nos to submit to the COM
biuations of any political clique, or
to be whipped into submission to
objectiOnal nominations by a party
lash, welded by self seeking and
corrupt men. The great body of
the Republican party demands that
good men be nominated for our To-
cal Ofices-men who have convic-
tions and believe In our principles
aud not mercenaries, who, at the
same time that they demand nOmina-
tions tor Office. threaten if they are
not given they will defeat our ticket,
or desert with their camp followers to
the force of the enemy 1t will not
do merely to place reliable men at the
head of the ticket. 1t must be thor
oughly good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
those whom our soldiers can rally I'M

EVERY candidate but one on the
Democratic State ticket in South
Carolina is an ex-Confederate officer.
la one of the Districts Of Kentucky,
we believe, every Democratic candi-
date is en- ex-rebel officer or soldier.
A SARATOGA Democrat suggests to
some Republicans, who were trying to
convert him by sending him Repubh-
can papers, that they'll find out
they's casting pearls before swine"
MosT of the Southern elections are
to take place this mouth. In South
Carolina on the 18th, 18th and 10Th
of April; in Louisiana on the 18th
and 18th; Ia Georgia from the 10Th to
the 25th, and in North Carolina on
the 10th, 21st and 22d. Florida closes
the list on the 4th, 9th and 9th of
May.
THE proposition of the Cincinnati
Commercial to send JOSEPH MEDILL,
of the Chicago Tribune, to the United
States Senate in place Of Mr. YATES,
seems to meet with general favor on
the part of the press. The truth is,
newspapers have more to do in max
ing u. S. Senators than all other in
fuences combined, and yet have the
fewest representatives in that body.
THE New York Journal of Com
nlerce and the Brooklyn Eagle de-
SPAR of the success of the Democracy
early in the campaign. The Journal
Of Commerce hardly anticipates that
Its party will select a candidate for
President that will have fair chance
of success. The Eagle sees men and
journal who were lukewarm when the
battle waged the fercest, now taking
extreme grounds, when a victory is to
be secured by moderation. These
papers have our sympathy.

THE Washington Chronicle makes
what seems to be a startling expose of
one of the peculiar features of society
at the national capital 1t says:
There are two fashionable gam
bling houses, both within half dozen
squares of the Treasury building,
which are exclusively for the use Of
ladies. One, and perhaps the best
furnished and most largely frequent
ed, is situated on Fourteenth Street,
while the other Is in the First Ward,
but a few squares distant. At these
places, at nearly all hours of the day,
may be found richly dressed ladies,
connected with families whose stand
ing is high In the community, earnest
Iy engaged in faro, and stalking their
money with an abandon that would
excite surprise The sterner sex is
rigidly excluded. We are at present
unable to obtain otherthan the above
particulars. 1t is rumored that a
certain divorce case now pending In
the District Court, is attributable, in
measure, to the squandering Of a
husbands money on the tables of one
Of these places. Nine. Rumor placing
the amount of the losses as high as

haFette ability TO express his thoughts
and ideas readily and IN an attractive
manner. Thought, unexpressed, IS
as valueless as gold in the depths
of undiscovered mountain gulches.
Thought, badly expressed, Is robbed
of a great portion of its value. But
thought, clearly and happily promul-
gated, is almost omnipotent. All may
not become orators in the broadcast
acceptation of that term. 1t is given
to but few to equal PATRICK HEN
RY or JOHN B. COUGH. But all
men may improve the talent given
them, and learn to express themselves
in a manner both instructive and en-
tertaining. 1t is for the latter class
that the little book bearing the above
title has been prepared tits divided

liable Appendix, explanatory of the

short, it is a Chairman's Guide, in a
condensed form, for popular use. Mr..
PTTTINGER seems to have done his
work thoroughly, and the suggestions
he makes,:as the result of his invest

inestimable value to all who study
them carefully and apply them sys-
