EVANSVILLE, HENDERSON AND
NASHVILLE RAILROAD.

The following telegram was received
in this city yesterday:
EVANSVILLE May 9th, 1S6S.-MAJ. j.
ID. LocKHART Evansville decided by vote
TO issue bonds to the road. Majority in
favor Of the proposition 1910. All the
voters favored the subscription Of $500 900
except about 200.
Work will commence now in a few days,
and road be built on to Madisonvlle.
What will Nashville do 20 aid the road,
and secure coal for next winter?
j. T. BOYLE.
The vote referred to was one taken by
the authorities of Evansville on the
question Of removing the conditions at
tached to the previous subscription OF
stock by that city, and the immediate is
sue of bonds to the company. A com
mittee Of citizens of whom the Mayor
was Chairman, attended the stockholders
meeting few months since, and after a
thorough examination of the condition
of the business and affairs of the cons
pany, unanimously recommended the
step The people of Evansville, admOn>
ished by the indifferent progress of this
enterprise under former mana cement,
were naturally cautious in engagingin it,
but the success which has attended the
present energetic administration, and its
entirely satisfactory financial condition
removed all doubts, and with the single
reservation that its subscription should
be expended on that end Of the road,
Evansville has promptly voted 100000
to the work. This, together with the
Henderson subscription and that of Hops
kins county, will build theroad to within
five miles of jacksonville, and by the en-
suing winter Henderson will have access
to the rich coal fields traversed by the
road.
The inquiry in the dispatch of General
Boyle is one demanding the attention OF
this city. This road will certainly be
built The section between Hopkins
vile, seventy-fve miles from this city,
and jacksonville, is yet unprovided for,
or, at least, will be the last portion put
under contract. 1t is of the first im~
portance that Nashville should be early
in the field of competition with her rivals
on the Ohio river for the trade of the in
terror region on the line of the road and
the inducement of the coal supply need
not be dwelt on 1t is, also, highly i'm
portant, that through a subscription of
stock, this city should have representa-
ton in the Directory which is to control
a road of such vital interest to its pros
perity. When this proposition is offered,
we trust our citizens viii be wise and
forethOughted

Mr. Bingham, the chief manager Of

the amplitude of comprehension, the
philosophical grasp, and the exuberant
imagination which characterized the
mind Of the great accuser as heplead be-
fore the Lords in Parliament for the con-
viction Of the spectator OF the Indies. lie

We observe in the proceedings of the
Northern Methodist General Conference
in session at Chicago, that a special com
mittee was appointed on "the state of
the country" What, we would like to
know. has an assembly of preachers
called to devise means Of eyangelizatiOn,
to do with the state Of the country 2
Have "the things that are Caesars in
any way sought their ghostly counsel, OF
do they imagine they have rendered
nunto God all that he can righteOusly
claim from saints SO little lower than the
angels. and concluded to turn their ats
tention to Radical politics. We had
thought that the Master whom they claim
to serve, held that 'his kingdom was not
Of this world, and have yet to learn that
he manifested any very great concern
about the state of Judea, during his min
istry on earth.
This Northern Methodist Church has
already had too much TO do with the
state Of this country In 1914 it drove
the entering wedge to the dissolution be-
tween the North and South which Oc>
Cured in 1861, by its participation in
the political questions Of the day, and its
attempt to persecute and depose Bishop
because his worldly business was not
conducted to suit its intolerant and bigot-
ed views Of the relation Of master and
slave. In all the sectional animosities
which its unchristian course did much to
excite, it has been pestiierous mischief
maker, and is now in its demeanor to
the Southern portion of those who hold
the same religious faith, mocker Of that
charity which the great Apostle declared
to be the diyinest of attributes. 1t has
already given so much of its oficious at
tention to the state of the country, that
its own state is wretchedly barren of that
godliness men look for in prOlessed
Christians, and is "a stumbling block
and rock of ofTense to the cause of re-
lipiOn.
