Of the St. Louis, near Superior through
Grow Wing to the Rcd river.
Bat the 81. Paul Press Of a recent date
says taa; the company has had remarkable
success in negotiating the bonds of the
road, and that the Directors, now assem-
bled in New York, have concluded con-
tract with prominent German banking
houses for tfiy million dollars in exchange
for bonds, which IS enough to cover the es~
timatei COS. Of the entire line from Super
ior to Puget Sound on the Pacific. Aud it
is probabis that the actual cost will be con
s.deraoly less than the estimated cost, as in
the case of the Central Pacific.
The same authority assures us that FIVE
hundred thousand dollars are to be adyanc-
ed Immediately, under the contract, as an
earnest or good talih, and that Jay Cooke

ssA- 1t appears that Butler, the congress
nj from tennessee who received money
for cadet appointment, is, ike his worthy
namesake from Massachusetts, an snostate
fire eater He was secession.t, in the
beginning OF the rebellion, owing vengeance
and slaughter upon Lincoln and the parts
which elected him. la this work he was
nearly as industrious and vcnomous as John
A. Logan, although it is not recor; ed that
he followed Logan in enlisting soldiers for
the confederacy
Considering the number Of mean men,
and rognes, and political shysters who have
lett the Democratic party TO become leaders
IN the Republican ranks, the 'unterried"
ought now to have only good stock left.
They are exchanging mean men for good
ones.
Ben. Butler, and Tennessee Butler, and
Logan, and j. Russell Jones, and Stokes,
and Grant, and men of that order are leav-
ing the Democrats, and men like Cowan.
and Doolittle, and Socum, aud Browning.
and Stapdberry, and the judges of the su-
preme court of the United States, and
noble Romans OF the first rank are com
ing to the Democracy We shall keep up
this sort OF exchange. The political party
which casts out its bad men and attracts
good ones must win the confidence Of the
