VERY active preparations are being
made for the construction of a rail-
road from indianapolis to Chicago by
way of Delphi. The engineer corps
is now engaged in surveying the route.
The counties on the line of the road
are taking steps to vote stock to
make the road bed ready for the iron,
1t seems to US that not few counties
In our State are voting stock and
donations reeklessly. and we shall not
be surprised to witness a crash SINH
lar to that which followed the great
internal Improvement system attempt
ed by our State twenty-five years ago.
1t is an easy matter to vote stock and
bonds, but very hard to stand up
under the taxation which their issue
must necessarily cause to be levied.
The railroad fever is now epidemic,
and must, we suppose, run its course;
but, like all epidemics, it will leave
our people in very weak and ex-
hausted condition. unless some reme-
dies can be applied which will cool
their ardor for impracticable enter
prises.

DEMOCRATIC papers have been Wor-
rying themselves considerably over
Republican discussions. It seems to
US little attention is needed to diff
culties Of this kind in their own
household. The German Democrats
Of New York city are dissatisfied with
the Irish control Of the party, by
which that nationality secures all the
offices, and threaten that they will re-
bel if justice is not done them. Their
complaints are well founded, as the
following list Of officers in that city,
filed by Irishmen at the close of the
year 1868, clearly demonstrates:
Sheriff; Register; Comptroller; City
Chamberlain; Corporation Counsel;
Police Commissioner; President of
the Croton Board; Acting Mayor and
President of the Board of Aldermen
President of the Board of Council
men; President of the Board of Super
visors: five Justices of the Courts of
Record; all the Civil Justices; all but
two of the Police Justices; all the
Police Court Clerks three out of four
Coroners; two members of Congress:
three out of FIVE State Senators eight
cen out of tWenty-one members of
Assembly; fourteen ineteenths of
the Common Council, and eight-tenths
of the Supervisors.
Paddy of course can't be expected
to give up a nice thing without a
struggle, and the fight, consequently,
promises to be interesting.
In Ohio, the original DIR. JACOB
TOWNSEND Democrats don't like to
swallow RosECRANs, and some of
them actually have the impudence to
call State Convention at New Wash
ington, Crawford County, to- day, the
18th, with the request that none but
those known as Copperheads during
the war need attend. It is probable
the convention will not amount tt
great deal, but the mere fact of il
being called shows the lack of har
mony in the party.
In Kentucky the fight between OBJ

Prof. Cox, the State Geologist, has
been making a scientific tour through
some of the counties in the central
part of the State. His investigations
and discoveries are reported in the
indianapolis papers. In commenting

preston to an opinion with regard to
a certain class of citizens, that we
think worth copying, because we are
afflicted with similar class in this

THE peculiar aspect the Pennsyl-
yania State CANVASS has been made to
assume by the Democratic nomina-
ton of the representative of twenty
million dollars, is attracting a great
deal of attention throughout the
Union, as direct attempt to raise an
issue between gold and principles at
the ballot box. The New York
EUeaing Post says, never were free
men more directly asked to choose
between money and merit than in this
contest; and it is fair to say that
something more than the Governor 5
chair is at stake in 1.-THE good lame

Governor GEARY: "A part Of his

JOHN A. RoEBLING, the great bridge
builder, died in New York last week,
very singularly. He was engaged in
preparing to bridge the East River at
New York, when he accidentally had
several toes jammed off by a ferry
boat. The inflammation of the wound
produced lock jaw, from which he
died. Mr.. RoEBLING was the propri-
etor Of large iron mandatory in
New Jersey. and has constructed
many fine bridges, including the Nj
agara Falls and Cincinnati Suspension
bridges. He had determined, how
ever, on making the Suspension
Bridge across East River, the crown
ing achievement of his life. when, IN.
fortunately. he was cut down at the
very threshold Of that gigantic under
taking. His loss will be greatly de.
plored.
