THE RAILROAD

During the week past small party
of railroad men, under the direction Of
Mr.. Douthit and Mr.. Burrage, have been
in and around Albany, locating tho Rail-
road. An article, which we publish else
where, from the local editor of the Her
ata, shows what the Company are doing
near Portland. They are at work in good
faith and real earnest; and they design
having the entire road graded, this fall,
from Portland to Eugene. Our citizens
will be called upon, at the proper time, to
subscribe $40, 900 for the benefit of the
Road-to be paid when the grading shall
have been completed, not before. Every
capitalist, who has the good Of the coun-
try at heart-evcry one who consults his
own best interests-will subscribe what
ever he can for this purpose.
There is considerable anxiety manifest
cd by some relative TO the exact location
of the road. They want to know just
where it will run in Albany. In answer
we say that it is by no means certain that
the Road will run into or near our city at
all, all reports to tho contrary notwith-
standing. Unless fair and reasonable in
ducements be held out the Road will not
come here, but will run out towards Sand
ridge, thus saving large outlay of mon
ey by running in straight line and ma
terially lessening the distance and thus,
also, building up rival town in that To-
cality. Nor would the evil so far as Al
bany is concerned, stop at this. Once
let rival town start up out that way, aud
it would not be long ere the question of
the removal of the county seat would be
agitated; and in due time it may carry;
for there is no doubt that, outside Of
circle of eight or ten miles from Albany,
there is a very general feeling of latent
hostility to it; a feeling that it would be
just as we'll to locate the county seat
somewhere else; and this sentiment would
be fostered and encouraged by such a
movement. Let those who are deeply
conccrned-those who have large inter
ests at stake-look we'll to this matter
We once believed that the Railroad
might be humbug; but We now have
good grounds for believing, first, that the
Road will be built, aud that, too, speedi-
ly; secondly, that the contractors can
build it without any aid from those
on the line Of the road and thirdly that
they are not therefore compelled to run
by or into any given point, because they
are measurably independent Of foreign
aid.
4 AS this question will soon be fully pre-
sented to the people by the authorized
agents of the Road, We forbcar discussing
it more fully at present.
Let the people take hold Of this mat
ter in earnest. .

crimes upou the guillotine, instead OF
dying peaceably upon his bed, a nat.
ural death. In his private life Thad.
Stevens example was not altogether
worthy of imitation. In religion he
was an infdel and bold blasphemer
and this trait of his character some
times cropped out in his speeches to
such a degree that the religious press
of the country denounced him for it,
though in most instances they were
his jealous political supporters. The
telegraphic dispatches speak of his
"family," and some may infer that he
had lawful wife and children. But
this is not true. "Mrs. Thad. Stew
ens," was a mulattto woman who for
some years lived with him as his mis-
tress and housekeeper. Previously to
this arrangement she was the wife OF
a negro barber of Harrisburg whose
name was Smith; but she preferred
to be the concubine, mistress or para
mour of old Thad. to remaining the
lawful welded wife of this black
knight of the razor. Stevens dressed
her well, indulging her in rich silks,
and satins, diamond breast-pins, plen-
ty of "pin-money," and entrusted to
her hands his safe key. Some time
ago Henry Ward Beecher publicly ut
tered this sentiment: awe must inn
part healthier and more pleasing
hue to the complexion, and more mus
Gle and strength to tho physical de-
velopment of our pale-faced, puny
white race, by infusing into it the rich
and glowing blood of the African,
with whose amorousness and fecun-
dity we can contract the growing and
alarming tendency to physical decay
and failure of offspring, in our native
white population. The rich, warm
blood of the tropics blends harmoni-
ously with our cold, northern cur
rent" Old Thad. Stevens and his
nigger wench were only practicing
what this high priest of Radicalism
had publicly promulgated. "only
this and nothing more"
We might extend this biographical
notice indefinitely; bnt we will de-
sist. The old sinneris dead now. No
more will he lead the Rumps of Con-
gress-no more viii he reconstruct" :"
unless he attempts to do SO in the Plu-
tonian regions whittier he has gone.
No more will he iInpeach unless he
attempts that game on old Sooty. No
more will he hold gentle dalliance
with his niger wench, nor "bathe his
fingers" in her kinky hair! Malicious,
turbulent old sinner-tyrant of the
first water-blasphemer and contem-
ner of everything good-yiolator of
alllaw, human and divine-lecherous
lump of physical acknowledgement

Letter From PendIeton.

The following private letter from Mr..
Pendleton was addressed to Washington
Mclean Of the Ohio delegation, before that
delegation left Ohio, and was handed to
Jno. A. Green, Jr., on their arrival in
New York. It utters noble sentiments,
and is a credit alike to the head and heart
of its distinguished author.

took place recently in Idaho Territory
The Democracy have elected shafer,

The Sentinel Jacksonville says that
county warrants are only worth 50 cents
on the dollar in Linn county and lays the
depreciation to the Democracy. The Dem
ocracy of Linn has been in power now
some over two years. When they assum-
ed control of affairs bounty warrants were
worth sirty cents, They have paid out i'm
mense sums in the way of liquidating the
debt contracted in building tie finest
Court House in the entire State, county
scrip advancing to s5 cents the while
How is it in Marion I? The repubs. claim
six hundred majority there-they have
built no Court House nor anything else
but debt. 1t is a rich county. Last fall
we had county order which the Treasur-
er could not cash nor could We sell the

Negro Suffrage.

If anybody supposcs that the Republi-
can party is not irrevooably committed to
the doctrine of negro suffrage, let him
read the following delightful extract
from leading Republican paper in the
West:
"The fools are not all dead, but sur
vive still in sufficient force TO control the
action of the Democratic party, aud to
dash out the little remnant OF brains and
life that yet remains 10 it against the i'm
pregnable battlement Of equal suffrage" /"
For one VIC feel disposed to risk the
slaughter which opposition to this kind
Of mongrelism may inaict upon the De-
mocracy. Ii has not amounted TO much
in years past. The Democracy dashed
against it last year in several of the
States, and We think came out with the
honors Of victory. Fifty thousand in
Ohio, thirteen thousand in Kansas, fye
thousand in Connecticut, three thousand
in Minnesota, and thirty-eight thousand
in Michigan, against negro suffrage, don't
look as though the Democracy were in
any danger of being " brained," on that
question. right away. If the Radical
leaders feel disposed to continue this
question as a party issue, as they did last
year, they will find any number Of hon.
est Republicans who will again vote
against it and also against the candidates
of the party that has made it the " fun
damental principle" " of their platform.
