People who question the capability
of the negro to provide for his own
welfare when the opportunity Is
afforded him will learn something
from the report of the Freedmen s
Savings and Trust Company. An alb
stract of the fourth annual report OF
the Company informs US that the
total amount Of deposits reaches the
refreshing sum Of 81, 073.429 81.
These deposits represent the savings
of the much -despiaed freedmen. The
abstract presents a table exhibiting the
net deposits for 1866, 1867, 1868, and
1869, showing an increase in the ratio
from 1866 to 1867 of 914 per celt:; 90
per cent. Of an increase from 1861 to
186S and 125 per cent. of an increase
in the net deposits of 1869 over those
of 1868. Truly fattering exhibit,
and one that our Democratic friends

The County railroad. Subscription


We suppose it is generally known
by our readers that petitions are being
circulated Tor the signature Of the vO
ters of the county, asking the County
Court to subscribe for two hundred
thousand dollars of the Evansville,
Henderson and Nashville Railroad
Company, to be paid for In the bonds
Of the county. The condition OF thus
subscription is that, after two years,
the Railroad Company will pay the
interest on the bonds, and, unless
within five years, the county shall
elect to hold the stock, they will re-
fund the two years interest paid by
the county, and pay off the bonds at
theirSmaturity.
An objection. certainly plausible,
has been urged by many citizens, that
if this subscription were not sufficient
with other means raised, to complete
the road, the Company would be una
| BILE to perform its undertaking to pay
| the bonds, and that they would then
remain an oppressive debt upon the
county. But dispatch from Gen
Boyle. to the effect that the proposed
| loan from this coanty will not be
asked for or used if other means are
not raised by the Company sufficient
to finish the road. will now become q
condition Of tho subscription, anC
seems to us wholly to obViate this
the objection.
We are informed that very eneour.
! aging success has been had without
this condition, there being an earnes
desire that this great enterprise shall
| be speedily completed; and with til,
| condition, we are confident the propo
sition will in few days be sanctioned
by handsome majority Of all tn
voters of the eounty.-Headerson Re

AT Springfield, ILL.,, on Thursday, a
large dog attacked a babe in wagon
belonging to family Of emigrants en-
route to Missouri. The dog seized
the child in his mouth, and ran at a
fearful speed towards sewer, the
child's head dragging upon the
ground. The women and men be-
longing to the wagons started Ia pur-
suit of the dog, who made directly for
the open part of the sewer, in which
was running considerable water at
the time. A couple of men started
to head the dog, but before they could
reach the savage brute he dashed into
the water and ran up the arehway out
of sight, bearing the baby in his
mouth One of the men entered the
sewer, and soon returned with the
little one, which, duriag the whole OF
the terrible scene. had not uttered a
cry. The child appeared unconscious
the nose and face were badly bruised
and covered with mud; the little toe
on one foot was torn off, and altogeth
err the body presented horrible aud
mutilated appearance. Stlmulants
were applied and consciousness re-
stored. 1t is thought the child will
recover.

wALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive use of these Watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduct
ors, Engineers, and Expressmen. the most
exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, steadlpess, du-

Watch. To satisfy that class in ali these
respects is to decide the question as to the
real value. of these timekeepers.
The superior organization and great exc
tent of the Company Works at Waltham
enable them to produce watches eombin
