report in the shape of resolutions,

Government to give such reasonable
aid as will promote the building of
the, Northern aud Southern Pacific
Railroads; stating that greater rail-
road facilities are wanted between the
Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
River and upper Lakes, demanding
the immediate construction Of the
proposed lines; favoring the efforts
now making to secure q continu-
Gus and independent line of rail-
way from Chicago to the sea-
board by the route of the Lake
Ontario Shore Railroad, and thence
eastward, by the best and most feasi-
Bile route into New England, and to

THE New York EVeRing Post takes
strong ground against the acquisition
Of Cuba in any way. 1t maintains
that the true financial and political
reasons are opposed to it, and that on
both accounts we should be "lar bet
ter off without the annexation or con-
troll of the island. The Post thinks
that no one will deny that it is a dis
advantage to the country to have as
part Of its population so many igno-
rant citizens, unaceustomed to, aud
unacquainted with the forms of free
government, and to q great extent un-
aware of the importance of the vote
they are to cast.

THE belief appears to be reason
able that sudden and forcible re-
turn to specie payment, without no.
tice, would not have produced a
greater eonvulsion than that Of last
week, and at present going on by the
gamblers. Once down to the specie
basis such commissions would be i'm
possible; and Il is pot surprising that
the minds Of men should be turned
to the subject as the quarter where
the only remedy is to be found. One
thing is certain, that the rest of the
country will demand protection from
the conspiracies Of Wall Street, and
CongressA will lose, no time In doing
all that is in its power to afford it,
Cincinnati ChrORicle.
A speedy return to specie payment
seems to be gaining friends among
the papers. 1t offers. apparently. the
only certain cure to the rascally spec
ulators of such financial gamblers as
now control the New York Gold
Room. @i

Ohio and MIssIsslppI RAILROAD.

We understand there is the strong
est probability that the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad will be extended to
New Albany the present year. The
road has not received the privilege of
using the Louisville bridge, and is
not likely to receive il. Its extension
to New Albany would pay the COM
pany a larger per cent. than any other
five miles Of its track, or even any ten
miles.-Nel1 Albany onansercial.
E Is the probability SO strong that it
even amounts to 0 possibility?

Reasons for Going West.

E. T. Ware. of Cherokee county,
Kansas, gives the following very
good reasons for going west rather
than remain East, even though he
could make good living on "Ten
Acres Enough"
/. The mln out west owns as
much land as his neighbors, for
the homestead and presumption
limit is 160 acres.
2. Equalin landed estate, he is
also generally equal in the amount
of personal property, because the
largest number of immigrants
bring with them about nothing Of
moveable value.
3. Going into new country
settled by poor men--countries
that contain few rich men, he
stands upon a social level with the
best; equality in wealth is the rule
during the first few years after the
settlement of a country.
4. Standing on a social and fl
nancial level, he has the advan-
tage ofany education, industry, or
ability that no possesses to put
himself forward, these qualities,
not having money to contest
against in the struggle for social
eminepce.
5. Equal to his neighbors in
landed estate and movable wealth,
he holds up his head as an equal
with anybody-is treated aS
an equal, and is liable at any mo-
ment 10 be forced to accept an Of
fec of trust or profit or bave such
other favors thrust upon him as
the community decide.
6. In the East, holding his "gar-
den spot" in close proximity to
large proprietors, he is looked upS
on as man probably worthy"
but unknown in circles where men
desire to be known. In the East
Mr.. John Smith is called John"
and is q welcome guest with ten~
acre men-out West he is Mr:
Smith, anybody's equal. and, II
worthy, there is no door for So
ciety to close against him. ~
z. If ten acres can support . Ter'
son in the East, it can in the West,
80 Mr.. Smith can, when the sunsss
of life comes, settle his family
