In another column this morning
will be found cards from the Direct
ors of the Southern Illinois Railroad
These cards ought to put a quietus to
the statements which have been pro-
mulgated all over the city to the effect
that the route had been selected for
the road, and that it was to go by the
way of Mt. Vernon. This has been
repeated SO often and persistently,
that many persons have been made to
believe that the Directors of the road
are not treating them fairly.
We have declared. time and again,
that the Directors had no other inter-
est in the road than the prosperity of
the city. It is by adding to its wealth,
through an increase of trade and
population, that they expect to reap
the reward of their labor. It is a
harvest field in which every other
man may also thrust in his sickle and
gather the golden crop. The poorest
laboring man In the city, and the
humblest mechanic, are alike interest
ed in that kind of In gathering. L
will prove a bountiful harvest, Of ricf
blessings not only to those now pre-
pairing for it, bat also for their pos
terity after them.
We repeat the warning of the Di
rectors, and urge the people not t.
allow themselves to be deceived b.
interested parties, who, for their owl
personal profit, arouse the people It
their hurt.

GENUINE
SPURIOUS.


But an invaluable mark Of dis
tinction is found under the left wing
of the eagle. In the genuine notes
are four distinct rows of feathers an
der the wing. In the counterfeits
these rows are underlined, and this
seems to be the only weak spot in the
whole engraving.
The dots after the initials of Spin
ner's name are no surety of the genu-
inenes5 of the note. Some of the
counterfeits have these dots, and some
have not. It would be an easy matter
to place these dots on the counterfeit
plate.
The first counterfeit purported to
be of the new series, No. 53, letter ID,
but there are others. Mr.. Brady had
one marked No. %. letter ID, with a
small figure 5 under the ID. He
thinks this counterfeit has been
printed from q different plate from
that first issued. We think not. The
only difference between the two coun-
terfeit notes is that 50 has no periods
after Spinner's initials. and % has.
It is rumored that Mr.. Spinner will
order the destruction of the original
plates and the issue of new notes, but
we have no positive information on
this point.
One thing is certain: If those re-
ceiving SO notes will submit them to
the test described above, they may be
confident of safety.

friends of the road cannot hope
for success unless they carry the
city By a majority Of at least
EIGHT HUNDRED OR One THOU
SAND. To do this, the utmost activity
must prevail from early this morning
until the last vote is polled in the
evening. Every voter friendly to the
road must in some way be brought to
the polls, and every effort put forth to
influence the Indifferent, the wa7ering
and the undecided. This can be done
to an almost unlimited extent. 1t IS
not ike approaching 2 man o. poIItI-
cal issues, where his opinions are the
growth Of years, and have become
almost a part of his very being. Men
are naturally inclined TO vote for
railroads. IF they hesitate to vote
for aid to the Southern Illinois Road
it is because their minds have been
poisoned against that road. This
poison may be neutralized by the judi
cious application of few facts com
pounded with common sense.
Therefore, let every friend Of the
road be up and doing. Let every
vote be brought out. Let Us have a full
and candid expression on the part o.
the people with reference TO the whole
matter, and may that expression be
decidedly for the immediate and RAPID
construction of the road.

To DRIVE AWAY REACHES AND
ANTS. We give our readers a South
American remedy for cockroaches,
which has been tried in Philadelphia
with perfect success. Kitchens. pam
tries and water-olosets were rid Of
these disgusting visitors. Take pow
dered borax and scatter wherever the
cookroaches most frequent, and they
will disappear directly. A safe and
eficacious remedy for a most annoying
vermin. Ants can be driven out of
cupboards if Jumps of camphor are
scattered about them. Ants object to
strong scents, and in tropical climates
are prevented from entering rooms by
powerfully scented oils and gums. A
sponge can be sprinkled with sugar
and laid upon shelves when ants are
numerous; the next morning plunge
the sponge quickly into boiling water,
and most of the intruders viii be
destroyed. Then scatter camphor and
you will have no trouble.

The President and the Southern
Elections,

AAACOsAS--Ae
The Washington Republican of Sat
urday morning contained the follow
ing important statements:
Among the visitors at the White
House, on Friday, was a gentleman
who. In conversation with the Presi-
dent, preached the subject of politics
In Mississippi and the Dent move
ment in that State. The President
was reminded of the conflicting re.
ports in relation to his feelings and
views upon that question, and that 1t
was asserted that he had already given
his adhesion to Judge Dent. The
President replied substantially to his
visitor that the patronage of the Ad-
ministration would not be cast IL IA
vor of Dent, as the party that sup
ported him was believed to be mimi
cal to the Republican party Of the
country. In the course of converse
ton the President took occasion to
express regret that so many good Re
publicans were found acting with men
who he believed failed to give a genu-
inc and hearty support to the Repub-
liean party and the measures adopted
by the Administration. He does not
believe there is any Issue in Missis-
sippi which should cause division IN
the Republican ranks in that State,
and as between the party supporting
Judge Deaf and his opponents, he
favors the latter as being the true
representatives of the principles of
his Administration This would seem
to settle that disputed question.
1t is inferred from what was said
that the Administration is on the side
of Stokes in Tennessee, and Davis in
Texas, and that when Secretary Bout
we'll wrote the letter to Stokes which
has been so much commented on, he
simply reflected the views of the Ad-
ministratiop.
