The p. 4 h. |. RAILRoAD-WHAT THE Pc
oRIA PAPERS SAY-OTHER RAILROADS OPEN
mo AT PEoRIA.-The Peoria Transcript
says the lease of the p. & r. l. road to Mr.
Gable takes it with surprise, as it had been
expecting to see the road leased to the T
P. Il W. Co., forming branch of that road
to Rock Island. The editor says, however
that there is an advantage in having the
road running into Peoria, practically as an
independent route.
GAN the roads east aud southeast of this point
will compete for the business Il will havo to bo.
stow, while il will also compete for the business
coming over the eastern aud southeastern roads
at will not be long before we shall have two
additional lines Of road extending from this point
to the southeast--by the DanvilIe, Urbana,
Bloomington aud Pekin, and Pekin, Lincoln and
Decatur routes. Both are TO be built, and q
large amount Of travel from the northwest Of us,
seeking Springfield, Cairo, indianapolis, Cincin-
natl, &c, will be left FREQ At this point TO take
either Of these two routes and will not be carried
on east 20 III Paso. Chenoa or Reynolds will
greatly stimulate the proposed building Of those
routes. Taking this view Of the matter, coupled
St. Louis by the P. ?. & j, road and We think
the closing Of the contract with Mr.. Gable the
wiscst course that could have been pursued
The Peoria Democrat Of the oath says;
"Dr Hamilton, president Of the Peoris 4 Rock
Island railroad, has just returned from Rock Is
land, and informs US that he has cOHsummatoi
the contract for the ironing Of the road with Mr..
p. l.. Cable, Of that city and also leased the road
to Mr. Cable, receiving 274 per cent. of the gross
earnings Of tho road. Tho loase is perfect, and
will insure the construction Of the ROAD through
to St. Louis ut an early day.
"Mr. Alor, president # tho ?. ?. Il J. r. u.
has the privilege Of becoming half partner with
Mr. Gable in the above contract ct any time be-
tween this and the frst Of April, but whether Nr,
Allen becomes a partner in the 7. 4 r. |, h. 4.
or not, the arrangement ia for the cars TO run
through from Rock Island to st. Louis without
change, making a complete line between those
two points, by way Of Peoria.
"FoT ironing, station houses, laying the track
water tanks aud ell necessary building, Mr.,
Cable is to receive sls, COO por milo, Ia mortgage
bonds on the road, which is all tho Indebtedness
there will BE- on the road. This, We hesitate not
to predict, was the most favorable contract that
could have possibly been made for the company
as the next best bidder was Chas. Frost, Of tho
7. p. \ ". X. R., who offered to DO it for S2o,
0O0 and give Is per cent. Of the gross earnings
Of the ruad.
eve think in this uIpttor president Hu, ton
has shown himself an able GnAncicr, ani dcgcry-
ing Of the thanks and confidence Of all parties f.,
torcstod in the construction and successful running
Of the road"

THE MATTrcE ScAEDAL.-On Tuesday
we gave both sides of this mootcd question =;
both the statement of Mr.. Fisher, Mrs Fish.
er, and the additional asseveratiou on tbs
part of the Y. NJ. c. A. that the St. Louis
association had pronounced the charges un-
founded. This morningthe Union gives but
one side Of the question, viz that OF the
Rev. Mattice. We said moreover that if
the Rev. NJ. WAS an unfit man to represent,
or be employed by the Y. NJ. c. A. the pub.
lie should know it and it was the duty of the
association to set him adrift as soon as posi-
BILE. The gentleman that called on us and
attempted to shield Mr.. NJ from newspaper
notority, gave no definite account Of any
defensive documents Of which Mr.. NJ was
possessed; but said that Mr. NJ had sent for
such doccments and they probably would be
forthcoming shortly. AS to impugniug our
motives for giving publicity to both sides
of question which was the common talk Of
the town, the Union sppropriates to itself,
with Pecksniffian egotism, all the propriety
of thought and purity Of intent existent
No doubt if Mr.. NJ we're the frsband which
common report has made him, the Union
would ssseverate the virtue Of its heat if it
earnestly defended him, and permitted, from
the facility with which his cloth furnishes
him passport into the most respectable
families the wrecking Of the happiness Of
many a household. There are many very
unreverened wolves in sleeps clothing, who,
under cover Of white neckcloth and black
coat, are foes to domestic purity aud happl
ness. Mr., Mattice may or may not be one.
He is perfect stranger to us. He is a
minister without pastorate or local hsbita
ton, and we are not over convinced, by the
voluminous letters in the Union, in which
but one side of the case il given. Let the
Union be on its guard or the abstract puTi.
ty of It's motives will lead it into performing
great injury to the public.
i. is noticeable that the Executive Com.
mittee OF our I. N. c. 4. only, at the
Iscues: Of Mr.. NatNce, submit state
ment made by the I. NJ. c. A. Of ST. Louis,
but are very careful not 70 endorse i,roE even
| say that they believe 1t to be true.

THE INCUBUS ON THE CRY or DAVENPORT
The Gazette couiirms our statements ss
to the undesirabIoness of that city for people
to locate in. 1t says
"Iho facts published relating 10 the iudg.
ments obtained, arrested general attention.
As result there is increased conviction
among thoughtful citizens that our city debt
must be disposed Of as soon as possible. Il
is very readily seen that the growth and
prosperity Of Davenport will be seriously re.
tarded by continuation Of the present
financial difficulties since capitalists will
not invest, nor citizens attempt the outlay of
their means where judgments, executions,
maadamuses, writs, tax levies, &c, are per.
petually hanging over every dollars worth
ofproperty.'
