Railroad Election in Pike COunsy

Railroad Election In Pike COunty.
The Petersburgh Press is jubilant
over the result of the railroad cleo
ton in Pike County, on Saturday last.
The vote was taken on the PROPOSE
ton to donate two per cent. of the
taxabies of the county to aid in con-
strueting DR.. PIERCE's celebrated
North and South Road. Three town
ships, Washington. Madison, and
Monroe gave a majority Of 581 in
favor of the proposition, and four
townships, (Logan, Clay, Patoka and
Marion), G majority Of 474 against.
Two townships remain to be heard
from, but the Press thinks they will
not overcome the majority of 10Y
votes.
We understand that Lockhart
Township in that county lad previ-
ously exhausted it, power to donate
aid to railroads in favor Of the New
Albany and St. Louis enterprise. If
this be so, the legal question which
has troubled our people somewhat
will have to be decided in the Courts
of Pike County, viz : Can any county
or township levy more than two per
cent. in any two years to aid in the
construction of one or more railroads.
Our County Commissioners, it will
be remembered, refused to order an
election in this township on the
ground that the law did not conten-
plate that a tax larger than two per
cent. should be assessed on the people
of any county or township.

MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The union meeting last night at the
Third Presbyterian Church was an
extraordinary one in several respects,
not because the church was densely
packed, for this was not unusual, but
because there was a solemnity about
the meeting, a stiffness that marked
feeling of unusual depth, and an up
rising at the close of the meeting that
astounded even those who had been
praying most f%erVcntly for the out
pouring of the spirit. The services
were opened with prayer by the Rev.
Nj. Dart, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Mr.. Hammond's sermon
was from PHILIPPIANS L, ri: " For to
me TO live is Christ, and to die is
gain" He spoke specially of the pre-
paration for heaven, and quoted con-
siderably from George Whitfield, the
object Of which was TO show that our
future condition was not to be de-
termined by arbitrary law, bat by
character. Paul was fitted for heaven
by a change wrought in him by the
Holy Spirit, through faith In the
Lord Jesus Christ.
He said that the people in our day,
Of all classes, looked upon Whitfield
only With respect and v%eneration, but
that in his own time multitudes re-
garded him only with suspicion and
hatred. He recited that graphic de-
scription of Cowper, giving first the
opinion of the wicked IN regard TO the
character Of this great servant of
Christ, and then the true view. The
ermon was listened to with unusual
interest, and there were times when
large numbers of the audience were
melted to tears. Though he had spo-
ken for nearly an hour and a half,
the interest deepened to the very close.
And then, though it was half past
nine, scarcely any OF the audience
left.
When the opportunity was offered
persons who desired the prayers of
Christians TO manifest it, one hundred
and sizty-eight arose sOlemnly to
make this request. In many preced-
ing meetings the larger number had
been children. These, however, were
nearly all adults, and the effect Of
such a demonstration was such as few
occasions or incidents have produced
since the beginning Of the religious
interest In the city.

and glorious achievements attained
through continual prayer and labor

expenditure to increase the value
or improve the vacant lots OF

to be in business on the Opposite

that there is AN expression of in
dignation among q large portion
of the taxpayers. In the cutting
down Of the north end of Cherry
Street, from the best information
we can gather, we are free to be-
lieve that there is q foul wrong
being inflicted upon the tax-pay.
ers of Eaton for prirate purposes.
The street, no doubt, needed
some work upon il, but not to
the extent that it is being pushed
by certain owners of vacant lots
which wanted filling up and
draining. Hereafter we hope
the citizens of Eaton will select
"City Dads" who have no private
alleys or town lots to improve,
and whose residences are in
good trim, and then whatever
expense is made on streets and
alleys, will be for the good OF the
whole community. The old CouD-
