Brighton.

spected citizen of Brighton, writes rs
follows to the Washington, IowO,
Press:

orators soaring amid the clouds Of
sublimity, then dropping their plu-
mage and falling Dat on the earth in
the most ridiculous position. We Of
Brighton are about in that fix. We
had, as we thought, certainty Of
being connected with the balance of
earth by rail, but in the moment of
our greatest CIVILIZATION We are infor.

come by Brighton could we have
raised $ll 900 more, but we have ap.
parently done all we can do, and not
only we, but you, will lose the road.
1t will BE- built as nearly on an air
line from Fairfield to Columbus City
as is practicable, leaving Brighton
about six miles west oft and your
town about the same distance. A
corps of engineers will have left Col.
umbus to make permanent survey
to Fairfield before this reaches you.
Had your citizens made q little effort
for this route, both you and wo wo'd
have had the road, but tho die is cast,
and we must reluctantly cave. Some
think that this is q teinl TO make us
raise more money I think l kno,r
better. l do not think that Shaffer.

Gen. Grant to profess penitence for
the part he took in suppressing the
rebellion, There is nothing to be
forgiven on either side--nothing to
be repented of-nothing to be asham-

actors are not likely to glory. Both
sides fought for what they supposed
to be the true principles of our Gov
