Now, we state positively that not a
line adverse to the donation e., Z. "
2. r. r. has ever appeared IN the
Courier, except it has been as q cor
tribut1an. On the contrary, We have
steadily advocated the donation ara
urged the building of the road
Courier.
The Courier has contained several
communications violently opposing the
donation to the E.. G. & P. r. Z. L.
has not, SO far as we remember, IN a
single instance, taken issue editoFl-
ally with any of those communlea-
tons. Tt managed to say, with refer
ence to Gel. JoNEs's article. that it
did not endorse all it contained, but
that was ali.
We are not surprised that the
officers of the Illinois road regard
the Courier as requiring careful and
persistent nursing. We would advise
them to permanently engage the Ores
cent City Band to keep that paper in
harmony with their enterprise.

perfect az organization, for the core
struction of railroad as far as prac-
ticable on the line of the old Straight
Lime Railroad from this city to point
on the Indianapolis & Vincennes
Railroad, in Green County of this
State. Indeed the organization was
perfected and the proper papers
brought to this city by Mr.. Fellowes
some days ago, but on account of the
omission Of the name of one Of the
counties through which this road
passes. it was deemed necessary to
have these papers made out anew.
This will be done, and the organiZa-
ton made perfect, in few days at
farthest. This road runs about ninety
miles through a rich farming cOun-
try, Astounding with coal, iron ore and
other minerals. 1t will open up
such competition with the Evans
vile and Charlottesville road as to
enable the city Of Evansville to
| have as cheap frcights as other West
ern cities. The company will be
ready in a few days to submit this
| proposition to the people of Pigeon,
Centre and Scott Townships = the
townships Immediately interested in
this road. If Donation of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars is Sc
| cured, upon the express condition
that not one dollar is to be paid until
the road is completed and the cars
running thereon, to Chelsea or Wash
ingtop, in Daviess County, at juno
ton with the Ohio & Mississippi
Road, then the company will COM
mence work at once, and put the road
in working order in from twelve to
eighteen months. In this proposition
there is something tangible; it is a
road or no money. Let the people
consider these railroad questions in
all their bearings, and arrive at con-
illusions for themselves. Remember
that none will be counted for or
against this proposed gift of two hun
dred and forty-t two thousand dollars
to the Carmi Road on next Thursday.
except those who vote; but if the
measure carries by majority, all will
be bound to pay.
The voters Of Pigeon, Centre and
Scott Townships are again reminded
J that if the amount asked by the Hi.
: n0is Road is voted to that road, that
it is at least probable, under the law
that no other amount in the way oil
? donation can be voted to any other
, road, and collected within the mex
/ two years. The friends of this road
say to the friends of the Straight Line
Road, You can apply to the city fol-
, the money required to build your
road. They know the city cannot do
nate money, but can only take stock il
J the road; and this will not answer tho
i purpose. IF all the money which car
} be donated is voted to the Illinois
} Road, it is the direct and inevitable
defeat to the Straight Line Road
f The Evansville and Crawfordsvill,
., monopoly will be perpetuated. TT
, stockholders will be the gamers b
t this, but the great body of the PEG
/. pie of both the city and county viii
/ be ten-fold the losers. Let, then
5 every voter in the county see that b
D votes, and know how he votes.
