h0w Is It NOW /?

The Investigation brought about
relative to the Elizabethtown IL Padu-
cab, by the course of the railroad ring, {,
has so disgustcd and incensed
the people that if the vote on
the subscription to the road was now
before them, they would defeat it five
to one. In fact, hundreds Of those
who voted in its favor, are fast reach
take from the beginning-that the
road, even If located and built upon
the Northern route, would do the
business of the city an injury instead
of a benefit.
These convictions viii cause the
people to scan very closely hereafter
all propositions to subscribe to rail
roads.
There is, however, a very general
interest manifested towards the
suggestion of a road from Paducah to
Corinth, Miss, making connection
there with the Mobile and Ohio
Road, and competing with Memphis
for the cotton and other trade of that
region, and bringing back to our city
the trade lost by the Louisville and
Memphis Road.-PddUcah Herald.
Paducah is not the only city which
has had cause to regret voting sub
scriptions to railroads rashly and
without proper consideration. 1t be-
comes the people 10 be calm and eau
ticus. 1t may seem a little matter to
vote donations to railroads, but it is
a very serious matter when it comes
10 raising the money by taxation.

ABOU BEN ADHEM-may his tribe
decFRase-says he scared the Grand
Jury by producing pencil and paper,
and threatening to print the interrog-
atories and answers in the Courier.
Now, why don't he execute the threat.
The jury did PROFOUND to him certain
questions and he answered to the best
Of his ability. Give US the questions
and answers, ABoU. We think they
will be interesting to some poor
saloon-keepers, whose cause you have
been championing so zoalously. We
have heard suspicions-how unjust to
suspicion one who loves his fellow
men = that ABoU's testimony will
prove damaging to more than
one poor fellow who forgot the
law in ministeripg to his wants. These
suspicious, unjust as they may be, can
only be silenced by printing the ques-
tions proTo1nded to him by the jury
and his answers. We are anxious to
do our part toward placing the Grand
Jury before the public in its true
light, and we know of no way that will
so successfully accomplish the work
as printing the little interview be-
tween the editor of the Courier and
that body. We are especially anx-
ious to know the substance of the two
or three questions which were cal
culated to raise laugh" So few
good things of humorous character
get into the Courier that ABoU ought
not to neglect anything calculated to
raise a laugh. IF kept in ignorance,
the public may conclude that the
laugh that was raised, and the
good humor which prevailed was
occasioned somewhat os hilarity is
produced in a eirous-by the antics of
the clown. We can hardly conceive
such results as flowing naturally from
one of ABoU's taeiturnity and solem-
nifty, but the Grand Jury is such a
monstrosity. according to ABoU's
teachings, that it may have INDUCED
in levity, Notwithstanding his threat
ening attitude and the formidable ap-
pearance of his pencil and roll of
