Railroad MeefanE.

ROCK PORT, Aug. l6.
At a meeting of the citizens of
'AtchisOn county to consider tie pro-
priety Of granting county aidtO the
Quincy and Missouri River Railroad
project, now being agitated 5y the
people Of Quincy and the Counties
along the proposed line.
A. >. NOblett, ESQ.,, upon motion
Of Mr.. A. B. Durfee, was called to the
Chair, and Mr.. J. p. Lewis appointed
Secretary of the meeting.
Col. g.. w. King, Secretary of the
proposed road was introduced and in
q very able, clear and pointed address,
set forth the object of his visit, the adj
vantages Of the road, and the prOba-
bilities of its completion.
The plan of the company seems to
be that the several counties along the
line shall subscribe enough to grade,
tie and bridge the road within the
limits of their respective counties, and
the object of Mr.. King was to secure
from this county her prOpOltiOnate
amount of subscription, which would
be about two hundred thousand dol
lars.

half Of the company were character
lied by frmness and FEASIBILITY
throughout.
Other speakers followed Nh. King,
ami the meeting generally were alive
on the railroad question.
BY a unanimous vote of the meet
ing the County Court were requested
to appropriate and draw their warrant
on the County Treasurer for five hun
dred dollars, to aid the cOmpiny in
their survey now being made through
the county.
On motion the Meeting adjourned.

The Quincy, Missouri s. Pacific
Railroad. e.


To tie Editor Of the Quincy Wing:
I am much pleased with your re-
marks in yesterdays issue on our
Railroad Bonds.
The small and large taxpayers
have certainly voted with an intelli-
gent confidence in the importance Of
this railroad to Quincy. They have
backed up the suggestions of the Di-
rectOrs Of that road and they have
placed them in a position oftrust and
responsibility, that calls on them for
prompt but prudent business action,
and, as you suggest, ten, fifteen, Il
prefer tWenty-five) miles of this road
finished, and the sn0rting of the iron
horse heard on it, with its regular
daily trains, will give a working
character and credit to the Road that
will give us helping hands from far
and wide, both East and West, 1t
will then assume that degree Of shape
and life that will indicate to railroad
men that from itslocation and cOnnec-
tions, it viii eventually be a National
highway for travellers from both the
eastern and western slopes of the
Rocky Mountains so much more di-
rect than away north by Chicago.
Now this first eastern twenty-five
miles can and ought to finished and
running by the 4th o fJuly next with
out fail.
1 like your practical suggestions
about raising one hundred thousand
dollars in cash for the City. It seems
to me very easy for a satisfactory ar
rangement to be made with our citi-
zens who have money in saving banks
or loaned out at ten per cent interest
or lying around loose, to loan It to this
city for the exclusive use of this road.
Again our bankers who are supposed
to be public spirited men, will be glad
of an opportunity to give this read an
helping hand by taking a fair share of
these bonds. Our citizens ought GER
tainly to take one hundred THOUSAND
dollars of these bonds any day before
dinner, to be paid in installments, as
the building of the road progresses.
Talk is well enough, Mr.. Editor, but
it takes greenbacks to build Railroads,
So put me down for two thousand
dollars worth Of these bonds on condi-
ton that one hundredthousand dollars
In cash is raised by our citizens.
Respectfully yours.

Kentucky has gone Democratic.
She offers the nation a striking exam
pie Of loyalty made OdiOus, while
treason is honOred and rebels elected
to high places of trust, honor and
profit. The most virulent Of rebels re-
eeive the heaviest majOrities. Among
the number we find the notorious
Basil Duke. Such is Democracy, and
such is its fruits wherever il is left
untrameled, Or wherever it is sufi-
GENTLY strong TO produce natural re-
suits, whether in Kentucky or in the
State Of n ebraska. Policy may In
duce it to profess loyalty here, but
once i'm power It viii differ in nothing
essential from its kindred in Ken
lucky. Republieanism is the same in
every State, and 50 is Democracy.
What it is in its glory, manhood and
power, is only type of what It hopes
to be in every State in the Union.

were dead. This condition is now

For two weeks last past q corps Of
engineers have been here to work on
the survey of the BrOwnville Fort
Kearney and Pacific Railroad from
this place westward. This road is an
extension Of the Quincy, Missouri
and Pacific Railroad running directly
from West Quincy through North Mis-
souri, to BrOwnville, Nebraska, anCin
connection with the above mentioned
road onward to Fort Kearney to con-
meet with the Union Pacific Railroad
making a more direct route from the
East to the extreme West than has
vet been made or proposed. The cOn-
solicitation of these two companies is
delayed to enable the one in this
State to obtain the donation of rail-
road bounty lands granted by Our
Legislature. Two surveys will be.
completed to-day, n by way of the
Nemaha river, and the other at a bee
line westward from here. TheVlatter
is several miles shorter, and upon the
whole is considered far preferable
its length between the Missouri and
Nemaha rivers being ten miles
which distance the Company prOpOs-
es TO build before February next.
Quincy is here with her shoulder to
the wheel, and all is life. The engin-
GERS are at work in Missouri on the
line huntingdon West Quincy West
ward.
The movement is now on foot to.
turn the contemplated railroad from
st. Louis through ChillicOthe, to
Brownville, instead of running to
Omaha, and at the instance Of the Di-
rectOrs, Col. r. w. FuTnas and Hon.
]. s. Church of BrOwnville, will meet
them tomorrow in st. Louis to. con-
suit and effect that design. Another
movement now under agitation in the
construction of a branch from the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad, southwest from Atlantic

through Hamburg to Brownville=8

rely in the valley Of that river. 49,

of which is only a question of time,

Judge A. J. Ritter, our popular
County Commissioner, has just re-
turned from an extended visit in In
diana. He informs us that there has
been great changes resulting from the
building of railroads in that State
since he was last there. The price Of
farms has more than doubled, and are
in demand, when years ago they were
seldom inquired for. Corn is poor,
and many fields late, owing to re-
planting since the June food wheat
is heavy. Many counties are coming
into prominence that a few years ago
were considered the poorest in the
State. The Judge is still satisfied to
live i'm Nebraska. 1t only requires
the impetus that railroads will give to
this portion Of the State TO make it
one of the richest and most prOduc-
tive i'm the union. He thinks It will
be but a short time before his brother
and several other mOnied men from
Indiana will make their homes this
side of the Missouri river. II they
have the spirit and enterprise Of our
fellow citizen Judge Ritter, they will
be heartily welcomed any time; and
they will not be long in finding, rs he
did, that Nebraska is a good place to
pile up the Greenbacks. Let them
come. The more such men Of capital
end pIdck in any county the merrier.
