Tnr PRrs1nrNr As M.N-Tha

TIE PRESIDENT AS a MAN.-The cor
respondents say that the President is
becoming crnsty, suspicious, morose,
and chronically unhappy. His body
and mind are both suffering. He finds
the Presidency too large for him. That
is the whole matter. His health is not
good. He has had to shut up shop six
times already in as many weeks. He is
losing flesh. Visitors complain of his
brusqueness, and many o. them of his
temper. Every day at four O'Clock he
runs off for ride and smoke, and he
has wholly stopped receiving visitors
at night. These he spends with his
household in the private rooms of the
Executive Mansion. The few admitted
there speak of him as having the APP
peaIance of being thoroughly tagged
out by each days work. He smokes
necessarily, and sits for hours with his
little girls hand in his own. not saving
word, and never rallying except
when his wife makes it point that he
shall. Mrs. Grant is universally re-
garded as a plain, sweet, dutjiul wo-
man, whose head isn't bit turned.
She is widely respected, and can Ger
tainly do more with her husband than
any one else can.

WHAT RAILROADS DO.


A correspondent of the Missouri
Democrat has hit upon plan for dem
onstrating, fundamentally, the benefit
done by any given railroad to the State
in which it lies or through which it
passes. The road in question is the
Missouri Pacific, and the correspond
ent presents a tabular statement of the
value of property and its yearly in-
crease in counties along the line of the
road us compared with counties which
have been denied railroad facilities.
The result may be briefly summed up
as follows:
Total increase of valuation of the
property in twelve railroad counties
from 1851 to 1865, SI35, 202,973
TOTAL increase in valuation of the
property in nine counties without rail-
roads, from 1860 to 1867, S34S,047.
We constantly hear the cry that coun-
ties should aid no public enterprise,
That only private aid or capital
should be invested in works which will
more directly benefit some particular
LOCALITY, is short-slghteu poilcy winch
obtains in our section as well as else
where.
BY process similar to that above
quoted, it can be proved-nay, mathe-
matically demonstrated-that every
bridge and railroad in the county, in
cYeasing the taxable valuation of prop
erty Immediately affected by its con
struction, lightens the burden of tax
alton throughout that county.
And when we come to consider tina
the railroad company asking for oul
aid issues to us an equal amount of it
full paid stock, and there is scarcel!
room to doubt but that that stock viii
become valuable at no distant day
should not the people readily and cheer
fully vote the aid asked for. These arr
matters worthy of consideration.
