OUR RAILROADS.


We had the pleasure last night, of meeting Nr Il
Barney fron, n. York Tessrs Easton, Souleraia aud
kotshausen from Milwaukee ard our own horored
ieiowcitizen, Prest Jos. Villas who are on their way
inspecting the route os t.. Lake Shore and Appyeon
ana New London Roads, and who left again early this
morning going west We can assure our readers tkat
it is real pleasure to with such our
splendid prospects, especially after being annoyed as
we are here, by the pickerngs backbitngs and .ig
Down lies thrown broadcast over our City and Coanty
by the oFenand secret enemies of enterprise and
o. the bright promises Of an early accomplishment
OF our highest hopes OF prosperity and success all
we now feel sorry for is that cannot tell TO our
readers ail the good have learned in reSri
10 our enterprises; they must te ccntented for to
present with the assurance that si is wellp and thai
| only CIR ene-sies haze cause for regret.
There is now every prospect. that both our Rais
roads viii be in operation SCORER than they have bcea
contracted for, and that their extenion viii not be
be behind our most s-ngune expectations Cur sue
cess viii 1e like frey Goals the heads Of cur enc
mics for shall do them immense good in spite o,
their contemtiple actions towards U.s. who never of
fended them in any manner.
Thanks 20 God aud 10 such men as We name al III

Where does the Money come from g?
Ihe Milwaukee papers want to know
where the large amount 0f money comes
from that is paid out every week to the
hands employed on the Milwaukee, &
Manitowoc Railroad.
If they will promise not to tell, we will
give them eesT latest information On that
subject, which we obtained from man
who lives On the line Of that road he
told US that every time the hands are
paid off, there is some one from ETanito-
voc in attendance, and at TIE last pay
ment Of some $1,000 the President Of
one OF cur roads, Hon. J. Villas, was
there in person, and saw that al the en-
ployees were fully paid. Now, as these
Milwaukee papers know too well, that
only the inapediments are furnished by
their city, had they not better come to
the conclusion that Manitowoc has some
beneficial influence in these large and reg
ular payments, and that they viii have
a Railroad to Manitowoc, Appleton, and
the immense Northwest, in spite of their
most unprincipled efforts to the contrary?
These l3cs, as our several statements
about a locomotive and railroad iron
were called by the enemies of our railroad
enterprises, receive confirmation by the
following letter, kindly furnished us by
Mr.. Luliug, the original of which can be
seen at the 1st National Bank.
The 2'eay Eissrs will soon be shown
and that very plainly.
