The Muscatine, Upton and Ana
moSa r.. R.

The railroad from Muscatine, leading
north and designed to connect with the
Dubuqe South Western ut this point, is
nearly cOmpletsd rs for as grading is con-
cerned, from Muscatine to the Chicago
Northwestern. Two meetings have
been held in AnamOsa since our last is
sue, to consider the question of grading
the nineteen miles between the n ORTIZ
western and this place, next summer
The work already done issocurity for its
final accomplishment south of the
Northwestern. On the nineteen miles
north of that the spade has not yet touch
ed the earth. We have now more and
stronger reasons than ever before, and
these reasons will, every year, become
more and more potent for the final COM
pletion of the road. The Pennsylvania
Central is pushing, via Muscatine, for
an independent line for Council Bluffs
and the Pacific. Blair & Go. design to
finish the Dubuque and Sioux City road
by connecting it with the one they are
building from the Northwestern north
ward, u little east of the Missouri Riv-
err. Our State is filling rapidly with
population /; we have now II million,
and in ten years we shall have two mil,
lions; another ten years aud we will
have three millions. Being more ele-
waited region and lying between the two
great rivers Ofthe northern half Oft the
continent, directly In the track Of travel
from the Atlantic sea hoard to the Pa
cific; possessing live, nl.ral, industri-
Gus population, our State enjoys advan-
tages which the great State of Illinois
caunOt boast of, and in less than n gener-
ntion we shall have left her bcllind.-
Who does not see that the immense
amount of production, pouring from our
fields and manufactures, will require
thousands OF miles OF rallrOa,ls IL means
of transportation? TO the great railroad
men the facts are plain and they are
striving for the future. +.
Just now, in regard to railroads, il is
the aye of building. For twenty years
the great idea-in a material sense--has
been the building of railroads, and it is
now especially SO in Iowa. \ few years
more and the work is done, and then
come the conveniencies every where
and the profits Of the long and ex peasive
struggle. Now in the nick of time let
US do our part. We have only to grade
and tie the nineteen miles, and two
wealthy and energetic companies stand
ready to lend their aid so faras possible.
The Pennsylvania Central and the Chi
cago Northwestern both desire our road
as one Of their feeders. Finish the road
to AnamoSa, and the region northwest
ward to Independence and further on
will be ripe and ready to take up and
carry Oh the work IT is human nature
and has so been since the days of Adam.
There is no stop nor stay in the Anglo
Saxon march. towards greatness. But
that march Is always work and this
work, if performed at all, must be, ut
least the first part of it, our own.--dna-

he would not give It up without meet
ing Of the Board. / called the Board
together the next day, 1t Downey; had
fair trial, and as but three scholars
were present, hs said there were three
orderly scholars In school that he would
like to have-two boys and one girl. 1t
happened that ono Of the boys came,
not In time, but the Secretary wanted
70 hear what he had to say, and he was
examined. It would not have been Of
any benefit to him. saw the girl be-
fore the trial, and said, +" 1 suppose you
like the teacher ?" and she replied, mot
much Tdon't!" This lady he was con-
siderably smitten with aud thought she
would be on his side. The sauciest boys
in school, as A. T. says, were sworn and
gave in their testimony against him.,
Then A. =. Lamborn told his story he
took the school from the first day and
run it to the last, and gave a fair de-
scription Of the school. Then made
short reply. and the Board adjourned to
the new depot to decide. was one of
the Board and went with them, but did
not say word about the matter until l
heard from oil of the rest. They said
that his own story was enough to satisfy
them that he was not competent to gov
cru the school, and the Secretary said
that he would make 1t rs plausible as he
could, and then changed it to Downey
school. I did not hear the Secretary
say word about him being shamefully
nlisused. and do not believe any such
stuff. What was said out doors about
teaching his own school, I know moth
ing about. The Director did not say
that he applied for the winter school
last spring, and he put him off from
time to time, until at last he told him
that he was afraid that he could not
keep order aud that satisfied him.
1t is worthy of notice that the Down
ey school is as good us any in the coun-
ty, If the scholars are treated like hu-
man beings. S. A. b.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-One D. E. Hoffman, an advocate of the 32d parallel rail. road route, and of San Diego as the terminal point on the Pacific, in an article in the San Francisco Times of recent date, goes out of hIs way to lie about the country between Fort Mohaye and Santa Fe, through which the Southern Pacific Railroad is already Ioea- ted, in the following absurd reckless manner " East of this (Fort Mohave) to Santa fe, it would pass through g wild, unsettled and mountainous region, frequently covered with snow in the winter, from ten Co tWeaty test dep. The only town on this route, east of Visalia to Santa Fe, is Prescott, small mining place of no importance yet" The above is news to iis, who live in the highest and coldest country adjacent to this route. We admit that the greater portion of the country through which tine route passes IS wild, but not so much so as Mir HofIinan's statement abJut t snow. The truth of the matter is, that the S5th parallel route is the only route upon which railroad can be built through this Territory, with any degree of cheapness, and the Company that has selected it, are aware of that fact

 "Nothing of any special importance has happened during the last week.

Seymour's probable vote in the three States last nsme-i .nald have given bi,n total vote of 3,0OS, 112 votes, while Grants votes with the estimate given him above in the three States named, would amount to 3,l02, ,4l6.

Another Minority President.

The New York World, of the 9th ultimo, contains well digested article on the popu- lar vote cast on the 3d instant, for Seymour and Grant. Had it not been for the sweeping provisions of the reconstruction law, Seymour would have carried the election by j0O,OO0 on the popular vote. The following is the estimate vote in thirty two States which took part m the elections:

Add these 545,2sl disfranehiscd votes 10 Scymour's column and it ioo,s up 3,554,U53, which would have given him a majority ol 45l ,631 votes over Grant.
 These estimates as q matter of course. will not have any effect on the election, still 1t proves c0nciusively that the present Radical party is in n minority in ihe Union, and that the majority party in Congress are misreprc- senting their constituents.
