The Cairo Bulletin has the follow
ing on this enterprise:
Our neighbors along the line of the
Cairo & Vincennes Railroad express
a disappointment not altogether I'M
mixed with chagrin over what some
of them conceive to be the abandon
ment Of the Cairo 81 Vincennes Rail-
road. IF the work does not go for
ward to completion. and that, too,
under the old management, a consid-
cradle number of persons will add
pecuniary losses to their disappoint-
ment. In this condition of affairs all
eyes are naturally turned to Cairo
for information. Is the project aban-
doned? What does the Company
propose to do? Where is Burnside,
and why this protracted silence?
| These and a hundred other questions
are asked, but without elicitipg salts
factory answers.
We are not at liberty to name our
source of information, but we knob
| that the road has not been and Will
not, be abandoned. Of this we have
/ the most positive and satisfactory
assurance. The Company proposes
to build, equip and operate the road.
Gen. Burnside is in Europe. This
much We may say, but the details that
| inspire US with mistaken confidence
in the early completion of the enter
prise, we are not at liberty to make
public. When arrangements are per-
fected thattwill insure the commence
ment of work, the fact will be duly
announced, and until that time inter
ested parties must wait, however har.
rowing the suspense may be. The
interval of waiting will not be verg
long. OF this, too, we are satisfied.

THE PRICE OF BEEF.-Notwith-
standing a large decline in many arti-
cles, as -four, dry and wooden goods,
&c., since the war, beef and other
meats maintain nearly as high rates
as ever. Beef is now selling in the
New York market at almost as high
a figure as during the most dubious
periods of the war. In June. 1864,
when the premium touched 285. the
best animals were quoted at SIS so
per 100 pounds. Now. when gold is
down to 120, the average is $14 ISL.
Pork, too, Is kept at high figure.
In 1867, when gold was at 1877, hogs
could be purchased at 81 Oh per cwt,
whereas, now, with the premium IL
per cent. lower, the price is $40 62.

Bubfriend JONES, of the Rookport
Democrat, who gave our neighbor Of
the Evansville Courier some valuable
historical facts about the Sunday
Liquor Law, is unwilling that the
truth Of history" should be SO
greatly perverted by his Dubois
County co-laborar. and he thereupon
proceeds to give a little bit of Demo-
cratic record. Our Fourth Street
neighbor was delegate to both the
State and National Conventions re-
ferred to in the following extract
from the Rockport Democrat, was
reported to be inside the ring, and an
ardent friend Of Mr.. HENDRICKS. AS
the curtain has been raised to vulgar
eyes By Brother JONES, we think our
neighbor will be doing service to
his party if he will give his "Recol-
lections" Of the events alluded to.
The Democrat says:
Whenever the Jasper Courier, or
any other Courier, attempts to make it
appear that 1t was through the influ.
ence of the Cincinnati Enquirer that
! Thos. A. Hendricks was slaughtered
in our late National Convention, they
simply don't know whereof they
speak. Thomas A. Hendricks was
slaughtered Eve are sorry to say, an
the house of has friends at home. Ii
was the last State Convention at Indi-
annapolis that slaughtered Mr.. Hen.
bricks, by instructing the delegates to
the National Convention to go for
Pendleton. II a0GS the big men of In
diana that done the deed, not the edit
ors of the Cincinnati Enquirer. We
occupied a position in that State Con
vention as one of the Committee or
Resolutions, and know whereof We
speak. The resolution to instruc
for Mr.. Pendleton was already
prepared 6y leading Democrats of In
diana. before the committee On reso
lutions ever met. Being not only F;
political, but strong personal frienC
Of Thomas A. Hendricks, we tough
that resolution solitary and alone
casting the only Uote against it in TIT
committee room, and when that reso
luton was presented to the conven
ton we raised our objections to i
there.
Now we would like to know, anC
doubtless the mass of the Democrat.
Of the First District share with us tn
desire, what our neighbor on Fourtl
Street knows about this little item o
history. Was he one Of 1.-THE BIZ
men of Indiana that done the deed?'
Did he let the doughty Knight o
Democracy. CALVIN JONES, "fgh

J Mr.. JONES says We believe Their
were but two prominent politicians i

passage of that particular resolution

On the subject of Mr.. KERR's vot
the Democrat thus slightingly refer
to his conduct:

not need any more money, but tn
people do; they want n ore currency
J and the passage of the bill would i
our judgment have been a relief

he came the house was full of COM

to him. His application Vas refused.
He waited awhile, and repeated it,
only to be refused again. Very
WE'LL" he said. Il am going away now,
and [ shall not return, and then you
may see where you will get another
beggar. There was sound sense in
the mans remark-for now, as In the
old days, sit is more blessed to give
than to reccive;" but that giver is
doubly blest who can give not money
alone, but kindly words also, and
Christian sympathy.

A Family QuaTrel-KeFrs PendletOE,

a good thing can come out of Naz-
areth. There is more political sa-
gaeity and good sense in benighted
Dubois County, with its almost unan-
imous Democratic majority, than most
people have been led to suppose. It
has a county newspaper called the
Jasper Courier, whose editor " knows
thing or two" and he has been
talking out plainly.
There has arisen quite breeze in
the Democratic newspaper family of
Indiana over the vote of Mr.. KERR,
Representative from the Second Dis
trict against the issue of s40,000.000
additional legal tender currency. Little
:. Mack" Of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
now fierce Democrat. but formerly
the Republican correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial. made fierce
onslaught on Mr.. KERR for his vote,
and his article has had wide circula-
ton among Democratic newspapers.
The discussion, however, is not con-
fined to the favorite Democratic
theory of more Greenbacks," but
has partaken of a personal nature,
involving the vexed question Of the
relations, past and present, subsisting
between the friends and partisans of
PEzDLEToN and HENDRICKS, the two
grea, lights of the Western Democ-
racy.
The Jasper Courier thus pointedly
replies to the Enquirer:
Tie Cincinnati Enquirer can rest
assured that it is not yet the Demo
cratic party, ard that when it does
become so, if ever, the party will be
insigni1cantly small. Neither is it
the exponent of the views of a major
ity of Democrats of Indiana, and the
only influence it has exerted for years
to digrace The country, and keep the
party in The minority. Through
the infuelce Of its managers
in the last national convention, Hon
Thomas a. Hendricks was slaugh-
tered(and the defeat of the party in
the Presidential contest insured by

ting IN nomination its favorite. The
talk about the integrity of sucI
sound Democrats as Mr.. Kerr, unde1
these circumstances, from such :
source. will not influence any one
with a memory reaching back as faI
as that national convention.
The Courier also speaks in the mos
contemptuous manner Of what it style
:" the favorite Greenback AuDsbug." o
which the Enquirer has been the lead
ing champion, and says most emphati
cally that it "was most thorough,
repudiated by the people in Ohio las
Fall,when they defeated its godfather
Mr. PENDLEToN."

THE reported hurrying up in our

POLITICAL.-The new names men
toned for Mr.. Stanton's place on
the Supreme Bench. are Judge Car
ter, of Washington, and Mr.. Brad
ley, of New jersey. To member

the vacancy, the President replied
that it would not now be filed until
Justice Grier formally left the bench,
on February 1.
The Democrats Of Texas threaten
to have the late election investigated
by Congress, in case Gen. Reynolds
decides in favor of General Davis,
the Republican candidate for Gov

GEN. JAMES L. ALooRN, recently
elected Governor of Mississippi by a
triumphant majority. has declined the
position Of Provisional Governor, ten
dered to him by Gen. Ames, for the

day Of his Inauguration as Governor
By authority Of his election by the

IT is reported in Washington that
the friends of Attorney General Hoar

Cabinet for only short time, and
will then tender his resignation to

SEVERAL influential Western Con-
gressmen are said to be busily en-
gagged in the preparation of arguments
in favor of largely increased repre-
sentation under the next apportion-
ment. The bill offered by Mr.. Judd,
Of Chicago, fixing the number Of Rep
resentatives at 800, will probably re-
cei7e the undivided support of the
Western members. The discussion
will be opened soon after Congress
re-assembles.

Poor BUT HONEST. Mr.. Stan
ton leaves only his home in Washing
ton to his family son, who is
already lawyer, and a second wife,
with three young children. When
he went into the Cabinet he had more
means and an income of $4,000 a
year, but his salary of $1,000 didn't
support him; he drew on his reserve;
he had no interest in contracts, and
when the war was over, and he
left the Cabinet, he found himself a
poor man, and obliged to go to work
in his profession. Some New York
gentlemen, after the war, offered him
100000, but he refused to receive
this or any other sum.

A singular financial transaction Oe-
Cured in one of the dock offices a day
or two since. By some means or 9TH
er it happened that the Office boy owed
one of the clerks three cents, the clerk
owed the cashier two cents, and the
cashier owed the office boy two cents.
One day last week the office boy hav-
ing a cent in his pocket concluded to
diminish his debt, and therefore han
ded the nickel over to the clerk, who,
in turn, paid half of his debt by Civ
ing the coin to the cashier. The lat
ter handed the cent back to the office
boy, remarking, "Now I only owe
you one cent" The Office boy again
passed the cent to the CLERK, who pass
ed it to the cashier, who passed it back
to the office boy, and the latter indi-
vidual squared all accounts by paying
it to the clerk, thereby diseharging
his entire debt. Thus it may be seen
how great a benefit may be derived
from a single cent if only expended
judiciously.-Bu6dLo Express.
