The New Presideut.l

Thursday witnessed the exit from the exec
utiyc chair Of the nation of Andrew johnson
and the Inauguration of General Ulysses 3.
Grant The Washington dispatches abound
in minute descriptions of ceremonies attend
ing the Inauguration, but except that the day
was rainy, and the crowd in attendance larger
than on any other occasion lit is so always
there was nothing unusual to note about the
affair.
We give the inaugural address in another
column. 1t is, as everybody expected, very
short and really says nothing but what the
new President must have said unavoidably.-
II contains not word to give any clearer in
timation of his proposed "policy" for the
future than is contained in any of his previous
delphic utterances. There is, however, a
vigor and snap, so to speak, about his senten-
ces as to indicate firm will, and purpose
to stand no dictation or nonsense. The ad.
dress is really less remarkable for what it says
than in the vigor of its non-utterances.

Most Suspicious.

Three weeks ago we mentioned the fact that
the Illinois senate had given its assent a
second time, lin accordance with the constitu-
tional requirement,) to the amendment pro-
posed to our state constitution, at the last
session of the Legislature, forbidding forever
the release of the Illinois Central Railroad
from tie payment into the state treasury Of Z
per cent. Of its gross earnings, and we mention
cd it Is suspicious that the passage of the reso-
luton was SO long delayed in the house The
fact that the resolution still remains Enacted
upon by the house gives the case good deal
more supicious look {; but the case rises to the
superlative degree of most suspicious in view of
some new developments on the subject. The
constitutional requirement is, that not only the
proposed amendment shall receive the sanction
Of two successive legisat ures, but that, three
months previous to the election Of the second
legislature publication shall be made in Ger.
tain newspapers Of the proposed amendment,
so that the members may be elected with a
knowledge Of the proposition. The duty to
make this publication devolves upon the sec
rotary of state-in this case, Mr.. Sharon Tyn-
dale. Now it comes out, that Mr.. Tyndale
wholly neglected last summer to make this
publication, SO that, even though the present
Legislature give its approval to the amend.
ment, ii cannot be submitted to the people, all
the other requirements on the subject not hav-
ing been complied with. So the amendment
goes by default OH account oil the neglect of
the secretory of state.
II il said, IN Lis extenuation, that it was
probably An oversight. One is disposed, how
ever, to have less charity for such an over
sigh IN view 81 the fact that Il il one which
. certain parties would not hesitate tn spend a
good many thousand dollars to purchase Nor
doe. The yirtne of Mr.. Sharon Tyndalc stand
so high q 10 elevate him above the suspicion
! OF having been purchased. in view of certain
very questionable paper swindes in which he
has JUS, bncn detected
The Whole thing begins ,o wear most de.
cided look rs ii somebody in the interest OF

djcton that in less than two years more this

proposition in tue legislature TO release the

~ Fox River valley Railsoed. "
The news We have this week isfavofablet the
to early commencement of work on the Fox
River Valley Railroad. Aurora. o. Friday Of
last week, voted two to one in fsv6r If sub
scription Of 100000 10 the stock Of the road.
On the same day the tax payers Of Kendall
county, to Che number Of 400, held meeting
at Yorkville, and gave = unanimous express
sion in favor Of . county subscription Of ESQ.,
400 to the stock Of the road. A committee
was appointed 70 wait upon the county Clerk
and have an election on the question ordered
in fifteen days. As the county Clerk is under
stood to be friendly to the movement, there is
no doubt but the election will be ordered, and
Judging from the expression Of the Yorkvills
meeting, the result is about certain to be fav-
orable y
This will leave less than 10000 more to
be raised to bring the subscriptions up to the
required $780, 900, and these it is confidently
believed can he raised within the next thirty
days, SO that, by the first week in April, we
expect to sec the contractor at work upon the
road.
In reference to the bugaboo about the Plain
field road, we need only say, while that road
would be very serious rival indeed, to the
Rock Island road, its construction would not
be as fatal to the Fox River Road, as weak
knesd people are disposed tn imagine. 1t is
not the road that can find the shortest route
to Chicago that must necessarily be the best
paying road. There is no trouble to get to
Chicago now from almost any prominent point
in the state If the snly object were to get q
rival route to Chicago, the Fox River Road
could be very materially shortened by joining
teams with the Burlington at Sandwich or
Plano and if the only grand object of the
Vcrmilion Coal men was to get route to Chi
cage, they could end their Troubles very speed
lily by building the proposed branch to
Dwight. But the object is to get up the Fox
River Valley Here lisa large country, sbound-
ing in resources unequalled by any district of
similar extent in tho state, wholly undevelop-
ed-with water power almost without limit,
unsurpassed agricultural and manufacturing
resourccs-crippled and suffering for what this
railroad alone can give it-a cheap outlet to
market, and cheap fuel. The Chicago market
f"i coal is of little consequence to the Vermil-
ion coal fields. There are forty coal fields in
Illinois that have direct routes to Chicago and
can glut that market with Illineis coal at two
weeks notice. The country that wants coal,
and which alone 1t will pay the Vermllion coal
owners to seek for a market is the region up
Fox River, clear up to the Wisconsin pineries
This immense trade the read up the Fox Riv
er Valley alone can reach and monopolize,
and in the pursuit Of this grand object, the
proposed Plainfield road can be no rival to

Sugar and Tobacco.

There has, within a few weeks, been such
u serious advance in Sugars as to attract gen
eral attention, and good deal Of discussion
as to the cause We find the following on the
subject in the New Orleans Gazette: EH
1t was evident from the commencement that
the rebellion in Cuba would exercise a treat
influence upon the price Of the principal staples
of the island, and it was only natural that the
prices of sugar and tobacco should 90 up - soon
AS the rebellion had become general The rise Of
sugar has already commenced, while the whole.
sale markets in Havana are selling a. little Of it
as possible 80 far the rise IL not caused BY
scarcity bat by speculation. We may, however,
with every probability count On rise Of sugar
OF frsm fifty to one hundred per cent in less than
month, whilst the su lden bound Of tobacco can
scarcely he calculated; for Havana tobacco il an
article of luxury, which grows only on that
island. and for which the connoisseurs will psv
any price rather than be deprived of it
1t may be assumed with certainty that, a. aoon
as the present stock is exhausted, very little
sugar or tobacco Can he shipped from the island
The crops OF the last season are already immense.
ly damaged ny the rebellion the planters in
the eastern sections not being able to harvest
scarcely anything. Most Of the slaves ran away,
and those remaining could only do the smallest
part of the work. At the same time the war de.
stroyed y great part of tho provisions, as ia
usual everywhere A small quantity Of sugar
may be brought in, but no one can calculate on
the preparation of the plantations for the next
crop which should just now commence. But
even IL peace should DO restored the old relations
between the planters and laborers will be Il,

make agriculture in Cuba ~ productive AZ il

like order can be restored under Cuban or Spar.
ish administration and, if Anglo.Saxon practi.
cal sense does not interfere, we cannot iorsee
when the old productiveness of tho island may
be expected. Thu Cuban staples, therefore, will
be scarce IN the market for d long while. The
rise in sugar, probably, will not exceed 100 OF

The vote in Ottawa and South Ottawa, on
Monday last, on the question of purchasing
the Illinois River Bridge and making 1t free
was favorable by large majoirties. In the two
towns named the vote stood
For. Against
Ottawa Observation-Disclosures. CAB So
SOnth ottawa ....,............ 133 IL
But Farm Ridge, Deer Park, Fall River and
Grand Rapids voted nearly unanimously
against the project, SO that for the present,
the scheme may be regarded as killed 1t is
true, under the provisions of the bill, (Which
is published in another column Ottawa and
South Ottawa can go on and purchase the
bridge and the Board OF Supervisors can levy
their proportion of the expense on the other
four towns, or any other towns they may
deem benefited by the purchase; but of course
Ottawa and South Ottawa will do no such
thing. These towns have gone into this mat
ter in good faith, offering to bear So, 200 of
the whsle expense OF $4,000, and to pay in
the same proportion taxes hereafter to keep
the bridge in repair and provide sinking
fund. But if the other towns, which arc GER
tsinly quite as deeply interested, are unwilling
to bear their light proportion of the expense,
the Ottawas have no disposition to force them.
AS we said before, the Bridge Company
how collect annually $4,000 tolls, of which
tho four towns voting against making the
bridge free pay at least half-or $500. To
buy the bridge and make it free would cost
them snnually-to pay interest on the debt
and provide sinking fund Ultimately to pay
the debt-less than $4,000 q year. If they pre-
for TO pay $750Oa year and have a toll bridge,
rather than $4,000 year and have a free
bridge, Ottawa has no right to dictate to them,
unwise as she may regard their choice
1t is to be borne in mind, however, that the
vote on Monday is not final on the question.
By the provisions of the BILL it will be seen
that the towns casting the adverse vote on
Monday can at any future town meeting re-
verse that decision, and the purchase of the
bridge may still be effected Doubtless many
voted against the bill for tue reason that so
little time was given them to examine its pro-
visions. When they shall have had time to
give the subject a more careful examination,
We are net without hspe that they will look
more iavorably on the project so that in
spite Of the yete on Monday We do not alto.

passed, the Illinois River Bridge will vet he
