ANpRpw JOHNSON has made speech
in Tennessee, in which he denounccs the
Democratic State tonvention of that
State, for having adopted a resolution
reatfrming the doctrine Of secession and

Con ention of Illinois adopted the same
resolution but in another form OF lan-

the courage 10 reussert thst the States
were sovereign, and could not he coerc

The Suffrage Amendment.

What will the business men of Mis-.
souri, do with them? Can they longer
afford to tolerate in the State constitution
the disability clauses which place fifty
thousand men Of property and character
below the level Of the newly enfranchised
negro? These are questions to be an
swercd at the autumn polls, and it is high
time that men were determining in what
way to make up their ballots.
The country at large, after long and
painful sequel to the civil war, is grad
ually coming back to its normal condi-
ton. Even the long protractcd recon.
stluction of the South is approaching its
elimination. 1t is beginning to be held
disreputable to entertain for the States
"lately iu repellion," any other than feel.
ings OF tho most fraternal and generous
magnanimity.
In the estim .tion of forty millions of
pcop!e-of all in fact who 60 to make mp
the population Of tho country, excepting
a partisan fragment to which there is no
sacredness left in the laws or tho consti-
tution-the rememprances Of the war
should DO forever blotted out, and our
legislation no longer tainted with the
passions which the war produced.
An enlightened people cannot afford to
harbor rescntments against their own kith
and kin. The inequalities which re.
suited from the accident Of civ;l war it..
self. They cannot be safely perpetuated.
Their spirit is foreign to the genius Of
our civil institutions, and to retain them
10 our statutes is to confess tho suprem,
acy Of our barbaric instincts.
What will the people Of St. Louis and
Missouri do with tho shameful stain that
still attaches TO their constitution?
There is but one course left to the
good citizens, who has the interests Of his
State at heart. There is no political
barrier Of sufficient weight to interrup,
the execution of his plain business duty
in this behalf.
The citizen stands in his own light
and pu's himself directly in the way o.
tho public advancement, who argues
against the suffrage amendment. HI
favors the continuance Of restrictions
which gnaw at the roots Of our prosper
ity. He makes himself, to the extent o
bis vote aud his influence public enemy
for honest mon to shun. Hence We woult
urge once again upon our business com
munities to exert themselves vigorousl,
\ in favor Of the proposed amendments
As matter Of public policy, their adop
ton is worthy millions of dollars to tn

81. I.euis L kcOkuk Railroad,

We congratulate our citizens on the
very satisfactory progress OF the work on
THE road, the grading on the frst three
or four miles form Hannibal & st. Joe
road southwark being 80 near completed
that the contractors will move a portion
of their force this week to a section be-.
tween New London and Pike county
II second subdivision reaching to Salt
River is being rapidly advanced, and a
strong force is at work between Salt
River and Now London. The culverts
and smaller bridges are in process Of con
struction. The contractor for the bridge
at Salt River has been preparing material
at the quarries for the bridge, and will
this week be on tho ground with his
derricks and other machinery to push
this important part of the work, which is
under contract to DO completed by the
lst Of October next. This bridge we
understand, is to be Of the most substaa
,ial and permanent character, with first
class heavy bridge rnasonry, having two
spans Of $50 feet each. Of .he charnc
ter Of the work being done, those who
ave competent to judge say, that it is first
class in every particular, while the road

Will DC secouD ~ uoue ia tits ctatv. -.-
We understand that in few days the
survey of the south branch will be
made, and We most heartily congratulate
the people Of the west and south west
part Of the county upon the probable
realization Of their expectations rcspect-
ing this branch road, SO highly impors
taut to the interests of the county a.
large.
With this railroad, Lincoln county
will compare in railroad facilities With any
county in the State, and the inevitable
result will be large increase in popula.
ton and production, growth of towns,
iute-ual Improvement, individual wealth,
rul general prosperity.
Immediately after the survey Of the
branch road the engineers will proceed
to the south eud Of the road, and work
will commence at that point as soon as
the location has been made through Lin
cola county.
In this connection we may remark tha.
good opportuny for investment presents
itself to our citizens by the purchase Of
our own County Bonds issued in aid OF
this road, and thus accomplish the two
fold benefit Of securing q FIRST class in.
vestmcut and individually contributing
to the success of the road. These bonds
have ten years to run, and bear interest at
ten per cent, payable semi. annually.
Parties desirous to purchase these bonds,
or obtain information thereon, are ro-
ferred to b. G. Cake, Troy. who is au-
thorizcd to receive applications for the
purchase thereof.
