Northern Democrats seem to be somewhat
stunned by the last reports from Mississippi.
and considering the loudness of the same it
is not at all surprising A Republican ma
Jority of $4,000 in State formerly represent
ed in Congress by Jefferson Davis is not
comfortable fact for them to contemplate. If
Mississippi "goes back" on them where will
they look for success? The Rebel Democra-
cy of the South seem to have been even more
astounded as to the result, but the effect upon
some of them promises to be beneficial
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes that the astounding fact of so tremen-
dous success bust upon the unwashed and
unrepentant impracticables like an earth
quake, and completely unnerved and demor-
allied them, and they now assert that in their
hearts they haze been for Alcorn all the time.
Democracy, or what existed of it, has been
swept away by the reactionary torrent The
same writer states that many of the most dis
tinguished leaders of the opposition, among
whom may be mentioned Judge Amos B.
Johnston, prominent member of the Missis-
sippi bar, and one of the warmest supporters
ct the late Judge Dent, has signlfied their in
tention to give their warm support to General
Alcorn, for so long as he may act as'Governor
OF Mississippi, and that when the time arrives
for his election to the United States Senate,
for the long term they will offer no Fictitious
opposition to him. On all sides there is evi-
IDENTIFY feeling of great confidence in Gener-
al Alcorn. The Republicans have no fear
that he will swerve at all from the consistent
principles which he so promptly adopted on
abandoning the ''lost cause" while his oppo-
nents recognize in him an honest, clear-head-
ed representative of the interests of Mississip-
pi. The future prospects of the State appear
very bright indeed, and no where in the
South is the process of reconstruction and re-
generation likely to be more thorough or the
results more successful. In nothing has
President Grant shown his wisdom and his
integrity more remarkably than in discoun-
tenancing the fraudulent brother-in-law
Dent movement.

THE VEAzrE BANK CAsE.-Mr Justice Mel
son dissented from Chief Justice Chase in this
case, and read an opinion which was concur
red in by Mr.. Justice Davis, in which, after
noting the fact that there were four State
banks in existence at the time of the adoption
of the Federal Constitution, it is held that it is
competent for the State to charter and estab.
lish State banks, and asserted that this view
has been three times distinctly affirmed by this
Court. 1t is then said that the bills or notes
issued by State banks and put in circulation
instead of being the property of the banks is
suing them, are, in fact, but their indebted
ness, and as such they are not liable to the tax
imposed. The general government cannot tax
the franchise, nor the Indebtedness of these in
stitutions. The view is taken that this tax up-
on the issues of the banks in question is an
unJustifiabe attempt to crush them out of ex-
istence.

The Philadelphia Bulletin undertakes to
supply version of the extraordinary speech
attributed to the Pope, viz: that ''the church
Is stronger even than heaven" Its reading is
as follows:
But there was rothing to fear, because the
church was stronger than ever. Heaven and
time would remedy the present evils" In
translating from Latin to Italian, then to
French, and then to English, and afterwards
telegraphing and transcribing, the sentence
has got into the confused and incredible form
in which it was given to the press.

Central Railroad
OF IOWA.
ITS
Seven Per Cent. Gold
First Mortgage Bonds,
FREE OF GOVERNMENT TAX,
AT 95 and Accrued Interest.

This road runs through the richest and most
thickly settled portion of this magnificent
State, and is the only link wanting to connect
st. Louis and St. Paul by direct line, 147
miles shorter than any other.
1t runs through the great coal fields of South
ern Iowa to the North where coal is indispen-
sable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
IT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH WILDERNESS
where it would wait for years for population
to give it business, but through tier of coun-
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is freight
for railroads.
Forty-fiv miles are just diminished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
open for business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities
Sixty miles more are graded, and a million
and half of dollars have already been expend-
ed on the work
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of S16,0 per mile, or only half the
amount upon some other roads. Special secu-
rity is provided for the principal and for the
payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads are the
very safest investments, aud so far as we can
learn, there is not single. completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its in
terest, but good dividend upon its stock.
The immense grain and other freqhts to be
carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
brought in, ensure profitable business.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon a road running through such rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as well as very
profitable investment. AT the present rate
they pay about ten per cent on the invest
